And the key to understanding their childish and whimsical behavior lies in this. Whatever their material makeup is, they have no apparent biological needs, these entities. Others may define them more in the poetry of science than I will do. Understand of course that others may use a different name for these entities. But Maharet gestured for patience.Bear with me, she said.I will tell you all we knew of the spirits then, which is the same as what I know of them now. When a clairvoyant calls upon the spirit of a dead ancestor to speak to his descendants, they are quite thrilled to start chattering away in pretense of being the dead ancestor, though of course they are not that person and they will telepathically extract information from the brains of the descendants in order to delude them all the more. And though religions linger-old religions which became entrenched in darker times-they are losing their influence among the educated very rapidly.īut imagine now, how much fun it is for them to listen to prayers and try to answer them, to hang about altars and make thunder after sacrifices are offered up. It is as if the human species has grown immune to such things it has evolved perhaps to a higher stage where the antics of spirits no longer befuddle it. For them, the flesh is filth and they would have men and women believe that erotic pleasures and malice are equally dangerous and evil. A very old earthbound ghost could forget that he had ever been alive and possibly the very malevolent spirits are ghosts and that is why they hunger so for the pleasures of the flesh and when they possess some poor human being they belch obscenities. However, one can never be too sure on this point. But they are without question spirits of those who have been human on earth whereas the spirits I have been speaking of are not. They told us we could not imagine how big they were but then they love to brag one must constantly sort from their statements the part which makes sense. Their size was enormous, she said, but then they said this too. But what is different is the attitude of human beings to what spirits do and that difference is crucial. It's no different now than it was in our time. Surely all of you know the pattern of their behavior. The good spirits did not evince such dissatisfaction. Very likely, this mixture of flesh and spirit in human beings makes all spirits curious it is the source of our attraction for them but it rankles the bad spirits the bad spirits would know sensuous pleasure, it seems yet they cannot. There was also abundant evidence that what we called bad spirits envied us that we were fleshly and also spiritual-that we had the pleasures and powers of the physical while possessing spiritual minds.
