PHENOMENA

DO NOT experiment. In spiritual things experimentation is usually fatal, and unnumbered students have gone to untimely graves and lunatic asylums, or have become obsessed while they were trying something. Keep away from Phenomenalism; there is nothing in it for the true student. He is not seeking to gain salvation through his eyes, but through his soul. Phenomenalism never appeals to the higher side of the nature but at most satisfies only inquisitiveness. As of old, so today, the cry is seldom “Save souls!” but is usually “Show us miracles.”

Have you ever felt that a person you have met is evil? Have you ever felt a strange repugnance for a certain person? These are the elementals and thought forms which emanate from the aura of the person in question. These elementals are drawn by the law of attraction. If you have similar qualities within your own soul, these creatures will leave others and flock to you to live like leeches off the best that is in you. Often when people leave a mediumistic séance, they carry away with them dozens of these demon forms that entered their organisms when they made their will power negative and thus opened the door. Others carry from the place many of these elementals who, unable to penetrate the aura of a positive person, still flutter around it awaiting the opportunity. The first time he loses his temper or does a destructive act, the door is opened and the elemental enters.

If any of these demoniacal creatures were to confront a person on the physical plane it would scare him to death, but because the unfortunate person does not see them he does not worry. It would be wise if people did
