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 (Not for publication) |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! |
