Useless delays on Earth's atmosphere

by CR (074)

We already know how disincarnation works. When the spirit abandons its physical body definitely, it withdraws, taking along with it the animistic body which is made of fluidic matter, imponderable to the ordinary senses.

Most spirits, when they disincarnate, know nothing about spiritual life. Consequently, things closely related to matter are the ones that influence them the most in the moments immediately before or after disincarnation, of which they are often unaware.

These influences are still stronger, still more powerful if the spirit has lived wallowing in vice, with thoughts turned only to materialistic pleasures.

In such condition, and because the spirit is under the impression that the astral body is physical, it roams Earth's surface like a common pedestrian, annoyed at the disregard of his fellow beings, who are understandably unaware of its presence. However, it finds plenty of opportunities to establish relationships with other disncarnated spirits in similar situations.

The movements of disncarnated spirits on Earth follow the pattern of their astral bodies. If the latter are saturated with coarse components due to their vicious conduct on Earth, they move about step by step like incarnated spirits.

Those, however, that led a less materialistic life, glide in the atmosphere, according to the density of their astral bodies, impelled by the action of thought.

Although such spirits become easily aware of the phenomenon of disincarnation, their thoughts are excessively concentrated on events of earthly life. Their aim is to continue feeling the emotions and delights of earthly life. Therefore they begin to exercise influence over incarnated spirits (people) and such influence, when it persists, eventually becomes obsessive. It is this desire that prompts them to remain on Earth's atmosphere engaged in activities similar to those they exercised while incarnated.

For instance, those that were physicians try to exercise their activities wherever they find developed mediumship which is used without the safeguards and dicipline used by Christian Rationalist discipline.

However, since the spirits roaming earth's atmosphere have no way of expanding their knowledge, they are unable to avoid mystifications and get rid of the harmful influences prevailing in their living environment.

Therefore, no matter what their degree of evolution may be, as long as they stay on Earth's atmosphere, their influence over the incarnated spirits is always harmful.
