lets go some more quotes

God..is not a God of the dead..but of the living,
for all/things are alive..for evermore.

Life is everywhere..and in everything;
even the dull earth..and the hard rocks..are composed of..living germs,..each living..according to its own degree.

The very air we breathe and the..boundless ether of universal space are full of life,..and there is not one thought we think..but lives for good or..ill,

not one act..whose image shall not live..to torture..or to solace the soul..in the days of its release..from its..incarnation in an earthly form.

Life is..*in all things,..and God is the central core sustaining/Life..of All."

Hassein paused,..then in a calmer voice
he said to me:.."Look yonder!..What would you say those things..were?"

He pointed to..what seemed to me at first..a mass of spirit forms which came sweeping towards us..as..though blown by a strong wind.

As they came near..I saw they were evidently..soulless astral envelopes,..

Now look,"..said he,.."you will observe this is somewhat like..a great living doll.

It is the result of..countless little living germs..which man is continually throwing off..from his earthly body,..emanations solely
of his animal..or lower life,

material enough..when brought into contact..with the magnetic forces of the astral-plane,..to form into these..imitations of earthly men and women,..and immaterial enough..to be invisible to/man's purely material sight,

although a..very small degree of clairvoyant power..would enable him to see..them...A stronger and higher degree..of clairvoyant power would enable him to see,..as you do,..that this is not/a true spirit envelope,..since the soul principle..is wanting;

and a yet higher degree of clairvoyant power..would show..that a soul has never been..*in..this form,..and that it has never had a conscious existence..as a soul's..astral envelope.

"Amongst ordinary clairvoyants..the subject of astral spirits..is not studied sufficiently to develop..these degrees of soul-sight,..

therefore few clairvoyants..in your earthly country..could tell you..whether this..was a/true soul-enveloping..astral form..or one from..which..the soul had departed,

or yet again..one in which the soul
had never been present..in it..at all...[a thought-form]

Presently..I shall show..you an experiment..with this astral form,

I may tell you..that atoms..may-be..classed..under different headings,..
and that..each class..will have..a special attraction..for others..of its own*..kind;

thus vegetable_atoms..will be attracted
together..to form astral trees..and plants,

while animal atoms..will form..into the semblance*..of beasts..birds,
etc.,

and human_atoms..into men..and women's forms.

In some cases,..where the human beings..from whom
the atoms come..are very low in the scale of humanity..and nearly akin to animals,..their atoms will blend..with those of the lower forms of life..

and create grotesque horrible creatures..which resemble at once animals and men,..and having been seen..by clairvoyants in a semi-trance condition are described as..nightmare/visions.

In the earth spheres..an immense amount of these living atoms are thrown off continually..from man's..lower..or animal life,..and these sustain and renew the astral forms,..but were we to transport one of these*shells..to a planet whose spheres had been spiritualized..beyond the stage of material life,

or in other words/freed..from all these lower germs,the astrals could not exist,..they would become like a noxious vapor..and be
blown away.

These astrals being,..as I have said,..created from the cloud masses of human atoms,..and never having been the envelope..of any*soul,..are very little more permanent..in their nature..than the frost flowers/on a window pane,

unless the power..of some higher intelligence
acts upon them..to intensify their vitality..and prolong their existence.

They are,..as you will see,..expressionless and like wax dolls..in appearance,..and readily lend themselves..to receive any individuality..stamped upon them,..hence their use in ancient times by magicians..and others.

Astral atoms,..whether of treesplants,animals,..or human beings,
must not be confounded with the true..spirit..or soul-clothing atoms which constitute..the real spirit world..and its inhabitants.

Astrals of every kind
are the intermediate degree of materiality..between the gross matter of earth..and the more etherealized matter of the spirit world,

and we talk of a soul..clothed in its astral envelope..to express that earth-bound..condition in which it is too refined..[just as the spirit..is clothed..in the soul}..

too refined..or immaterial for earth existence,
and too grossly clad..to ascend into the..spirit world of the higher spheres,..or to descend..to those of the lower."

"Then you mean..that a spirit..even in the lowest sphere is more spiritualized..as regards its body than an/earth-bound spirit?"

"Certainly I do...The astral...
