THE INVISIBLE WORLDS TWO

PART TWO
The invisible worlds of Spirit are around us, here and now, and are not removed in space from this world. In fact, the spirit world and its inhabitants are around us all the time, though most of us are unaware of this. The spirit world is highly luminous, and it seems as though every point of its space is a point of self-created light of a kind quite different from the light of the physical world. Every area of its space is full of movement, but in a way suggestive of a fourth dimension of space. As I have already said the spirit world is quite abstract and surreal with no specific geography. It is not so much a place as it is a condition or state of being. In other words, it is a world of thought and so what or where you think – you are. In fact, one’s sojourn in the spirit world is transitory and no sooner does the soul become accustomed, to it, then it moves to another sphere or dimension. Because the spirit world appears quite abstract there are no alternating periods of night or day. Therefore there is no necessity to sleep, but those who live there are subject to habit and routine.
The world that surrounds us has a greater influence on our lives than we think. We are what our knowledge of this world makes us. In fact, we know this world by means of the five senses, and if one of these senses becomes defective for some reason or another, then our knowledge of this world is naturally less by that very defect. Generally speaking our senses are active all the time and we see, hear, touch, taste and smell the objects of the world around us. However, we do not realise just what complex processes of consciousness are actually involved in our knowing the world. Nor do we realise that we know only a minute part of what exactly there is to be known of the world through the faculty of sight. When we refer to ‘seeing’ and object we mean that our eyes respond to varying degrees of vibrations of light that are thrown off by the front of the object, and that our consciousness translates those vibrations into ideas of form and colour. Generally speaking, though, we are only able to see the front of the object, never the whole. And so we understand that this faculty of sight is due to waves of light to which our eyes respond. And so, what actually is light? Light is a vibration in the ether and according to the amplitude and frequency of the vibration is the colour then produced. It is understood that the sun discharges bundles of vibrations of varying rates, and these bundles are referred to as white light. When a prism of glass is interposed in the way of a white ray of light, it is broken down into its constituent vibrations. Once these vibrations have been registered by the retina of our eyes, they produce on our consciousness the sense of colour. These are seven colour in the visible spectrum, re, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These seven colours, their shades and their mixtures make up the innumerable colours of the world in which we live. But the colours which we can normally see are not the only colours which exist. We can only see the colours to which our eyes respond. However, the response of our eyes is extremely limited. In the visible spectrum we can normally see red to blue and then the voilet; very few people can actually see any indigo between the blue and the violet at all, primarily because of the frequency of its vibration. Further more, below the red of the visible spectrum, and above violet, there are infra-red and ultra-violet rays that our eyes cannot see. If we could see them with our natural eye, the world in which we live would have a completely different meaning. Further more, our sense of hearing is similarly limited. There are sound waves both above and below our normal range of hearing.
By developing the faculties it is possible to extend our range of perception to allow us to become more conscious of new dimensions of both vision and sound. A medium’s consciousness is quite able to do just that, and a clairvoyant is able to ‘see’ just as a clairaudient is able to ‘hear’ beyond the normal range of physical perception.
As I have previously said, we live in a multidimensional universe, in which there are worlds within worlds, each rising in a gradually ascending vibratory scale, from those which touch the highest planes of the physical world, to those which gradually merge with the lowest planes the spirit world
