Perception,..[in..the afterlife]..from..pages7/8/48

in the early days..here..is very inadequate/owing to the poor development..of one’s astral/bodies senses...So one will
expect..that at first this world..will have a misty..and dreamlike quality...But as this condition clears,..the kind of perception
that takes it place..is not of the same order..as that on earth.

It must not be forgotten..that..HERE*..one’s new body is emotional in its..very nature and that..therefore its new powers will be based on emotions...The total reaction to all that is seen or heard –
the keener awareness,..the swifter response,..involves the whole emotional being.

For instance,..when I see a bush.or a tree I
am not able..to perceive it..simply in visual terms;
I have_to reckon on..an emotional response..to it. I like it, I value it, or..even love it,//or if I am not yet..beyond a negative response I may*..dislike it or even hate it;..*but there will be a strong feeling/auto-reaction in either case.

Similarly with one’s..re*actions to people.
They awaken..the strongest response of all.

A cool,..etached,..merely intellectual reaction..*to any-[real]-thing is practically impossible..while we are in this..emotional..etherized body...We have..to see, hear and understand..*with our feelings and this gives a keener..and more personal edge to all impressions.

It is true..to say that on this plane..most of us are getting clear of emotional faults..so that we do present a bewildering variety of
beautiful forms and colours;..hence the usual reaction to each other is that of..*appreciation and love.

I think the nearest/approach to our normal response is the spontaneous feeling of wonder,..joy and almost worship which can be felt on earth..when something utterly innocent and beautiful is seen and grasped by the emotions.

This is the poet’s vision, the artist’s
and perhaps the mystics too.

In such a case, perception is not processed by the mind
which is a cold and logical..instrument,.but impinges*..directly upon [overlays]..over..the feelings.

Our approach..to our world,..then
can no longer be cold and..impersonal.

I wish I could convey something.of the flame-like lucidity of our process of reasoning.

The emotional grasp of an...impression
is followed by an immediate awareness..of the essential being..of a thing..[and further thinking about it..is shaped..by our..emotive often/biased..[herd-mind RESPONSE..we term-beast mind][ergo/ego*..

looking forward..to..the new year
happy christ-born day[festivus/whatever.

looking forward..to saying good bye..to the same old..year
2013..wernt nuthin much..a big fizzer really..but a new year beckons

cheers..all

where..are we..in relation..to revelations..?

A Wanderer in the Sprit Lands, by Franchezzo

CHAPTER IX.--The Frozen Land--The Caverns of Slumber.
I was next sent to visit what will indeed seem a strange country to exist in the spirit world. The Land of Ice and Snow--the Frozen Land--in which lived all those who had been cold and selfishly calculating in their earthly lives.

Those who had crushed out and chilled and frozen from their own lives and the lives of others, all those warm sweet impulses and affections which make the life of heart and soul. Love had been so crushed and killed by them that its sun could not shine where they were, and only the frost of life remained.

Great statesmen were amongst those whom I saw dwelling in this land, but they were those who had not loved their country nor sought its good. Only their own ambitions, their own aggrandizement had been their aim, and to me they now appeared to dwell in great palaces of ice and on the lofty frozen pinnacles of their own ambitions.

Others more humble and in different paths in life I saw, but all alike were chilled and frozen by the awful coldness and barrenness of a life from which all warmth, all passion, was shut out.

I had learned the evils of an excess of emotion and of passion, now I saw the evils of their entire absence. Thank God this land had far fewer inhabitants than the other, for terrible as are the effects of mis-used love, they are not so hard to overcome as the absence of all the tender feelings of the human heart.
