NOTES:

Page 1 transcription, image, and notes

Yes; verily known and as confidently affirmed by the adepts from whom —

"No curtain hides the spheres Elysian, Nor these poor shells of half transparent dust; For all that blinds the spirit's vision Is pride and hate and lust." (Not for publication)

Exceptional cases, my friend. Suicides can and generally do, but not so with the others. The good and pure sleep a quiet blissful sleep, full of happy visions of earth-life and have no consciousness of being already for ever beyond that life. Those who were neither good nor bad, will sleep a dreamless, still a quiet sleep; while the wicked will in proportion to their grossness suffer the pangs of a nightmare lasting years: their thoughts become living things, their wicked passions — real substance, and they receive back on their heads all the misery they have heaped upon others. Reality and fact if described would yield a far more terrible Inferno than even Dante had imagined!
