The Work of
Invisible Helpers
Chapter V
(continued)
Five hundred
years before this present time, this ego came back in a human body for the
first time and lived to be eighty years old. Then he died and later was reborn
to these parents twelve years before, and they had loved and cherished him and
took special interest in teaching him, for they realized that he must have
knowledge in order to make his living in this world. The boy was then in grade
8B in school.
The Helper
told the woman that she and her husband were paying off a debt to the boy.
"What
debt?" asked his mother. Then she heard herself say, "If he were a
child, I would certainly teach him to be a very smart man, for I love him for
his kindness in saving my life."
Then an old
man appeared and asked her if she would give him a human body if she had the
opportunity, and she put her arms around the gorilla and answered,
"Yes."
The old man
walked away saying, "Maybe you will some day, who knows."
Here again we
see what the Bible means when it says that we must give an account for every
idle and vain word and thought. This woman had no idea that this would ever
come true. The mother said that she saw everything as the Helper talked and
that she believed it all. "Since I know all this, I will do my best to
make a good man of my boy," she said.
"I saw
it all, too, and I will do my part," said her husband.
"Are you
an Angel?" asked the mother, and the Helper told her no, and then she
explained about their work as Helpers.
"How
lovely it must be to go about at night helping people! I would like to do it,
too," said the other.
The Helper
promised that she would return some day and tell her how she could do this. She
gave her the address of a place to which she could write and have some
literature sent to her.
Another night
these Helpers worked in a flooded region where thousands of people were
homeless, sick and hungry. They saw this same boy, and they noticed a great
improvement in his walking. When he was in a hurry, he would go on all fours as
the gorillas do in the jungle. The Helpers told him not to walk that way, as he
would overdevelop his arms. "You a must be a fine straight man," she
said.
The Helpers
were told that the Higher Ones were going to change the contour of his head,
and face. This can be done by altering his archetype, which is the pattern of
his physical body.
Later still
the Helpers found out that the boy's face was greatly changed and that he
looked much better. His mother was very happy over the great improvement in his
appearance.
The
anthropoids do belong to our life wave, and it is possible for these stragglers
to come back into human bodies again. When one of these gorillas, for instance,
saves a life or sacrifices himself for someone else, he progresses later, just
as we do. When you read of people who have made pets of gorillas and other
anthropoids, and that they have shown great intelligence, you may feel quite
sure that these anthropoids will return as human beings when they die and are
reborn again.
Here is how
an Ubangi boy was saved from death. One night two Helpers were going over the
jungles of Africa, and they came to where a tribe of natives lived. There they
saw a local boy about thirteen years old running and screaming. They looked
down and saw a large crocodile with his large mouth open running after the boy.
The crocodile was gaining on the boy.
"Let us
go down and save him," said one Helper, and she started ahead, but when
they got near to the boy, she became afraid and asked her partner to go down
and save him. You see she had forgotten that she was not in her physical body
and could not be hurt.
The other
Helper shot past her, as there was not time to argue with her, and he picked up
the boy just as the crocodile hit him and knocked him down. It seemed as if the
crocodile stood up on his tail and let out a funny hiss that sounded as if he
said, "Shucks! I missed a good meal."
The Helpers
did not dare to go back to that place with the boy, for the crocodile was
fierce. He was hissing and flopping his tail around. The Helper asked the boy
where he lived, but he was so badly frightened that he was speechless. The
Helper had to ask someone at a distance, by means of thought, where the boy
lived. He found out that the boy lived some distance away. The Helpers carried
him over the jungle to his home. When the Helpers reached the place and let the
boy down, he ran and fell at his mother's feet. She was some kind of a ruler.
The mother let out a yell, and a lot of warriors rushed in and surrounded the
Helpers, and the lady Helper began to get very nervous.
The man
Helper told the mother what had happened, and she said to the boy, "Wait,
Boy. Speak and then go. No, go now."
The Helper
went to pick the boy up to give him strength, but the mother stopped him. Then
the Helper looked at her, and she backed away.
"Get
'em. Kill 'em," she commanded.
The Helper
looked around, but his companion was nowhere to be seen. The men started after
the Helper, but they were stopped by a silent command which they had to obey,
and they became motionless.
The Helper
went to the boy and picked him up, and rubbed his face and throat. Soon he
began to talk to his mother, and he told her what had happened and that he had
left his sister in a tree. "Get me," said the boy turning to the
Helper.
"What do
you mean?" asked the Helper.
"Get the
other me," the boy said.
Then it
dawned on the Helper that it was his twin sister that he wanted. The Helper
disappeared and went and found her up in a tree.
When the
Helper went up to this girl, she fought him with a long knife that she carried
with her. The Helper disappeared and went up to her and picked her up and put
her to sleep. She quieted down quickly and was soon unconscious, and the Helper
took her home and put her down and woke her up. Then she did not want to leave
him. The Helper told the warriors to go away, and they went quickly, for they
could not understand why they had been unable to move while the stranger was
gone. The boy's mother went to the Helper on her knees and thanked him. The
Helper raised her up, and she was surprised.
The Helper
told the boy not to go to that place any more, and he promised that he would
not. The mother said that her children were always going off and that they made
her head go round and round. She meant that she was always worried about their
safety. The Helper then left, as his work was done.
One morning
an Invisible Helper woke up remembering a strange scene that she had witnessed
during the night while out of her body in sleep. She had been at a girl's home
where there was serious trouble. This girl had been very friendly with a young
man that she knew in the neighborhood. She had allowed him to fall deeply in
love with her and then had ignored him. Her two brothers took her part, and
they all treated the young man very badly.
The young man
became very angry at the rude and unjust treatment that he had received, and he
resolved to go home and get his gun and kill all three of them. With this
murderous plan in his mind, he went home and got his gun and started to town
where he meant to lie in wait and finish all three of the people who had made
trouble for him. The Helper was with a Liberated One and several other Helpers,
and she saw what had happened. She took on his feelings of rage and was alarmed
at what might happen. So she asked the leader if something couldn't be done to
save the girl and her brothers.
"I will
take care of him," the Lay Sister replied, and she went up to the angry
man and in some way erased all feelings of hate toward these three from his
consciousness and memory. "Henceforth they will be as strangers to
him," she told the Helper.
The Helper
thought that this was a very wonderful thing to be able to do. This feat seems
impossible until we remember that man has other bodies than the physical one
that we see and that the thought forms that we send out may be easily seen by
those who are qualified.
Here is a
story about how help was given by a high Lay Sister, who is a Liberated One. A
certain man went home from work one morning and found his thirteen months old
baby all drawn up in bed and crying from pain. He was all alone in the room.
The man looked at his baby and picked him up. As his hand touched the baby's
right side, he screamed loudly.
The man
undressed the baby and saw that his right side was slightly swollen and very
tender. He suspected that the baby had appendicitis and took him right to a
hospital. A doctor examined the baby and said that he had appendicitis and must
he operated on at once.
"No," said the father, and he took his baby home in a taxi.
All the way
he prayed to God to save his baby. When he reached home, he put the baby to bed
and greased the swollen place with some salve. Then a very beautiful woman came
to him and told him to massage the region upward and to give the baby a mild
enema. "Feed him liquid food for a few days, and he will recover
safely," she said.
The baby was
soon all right and has had no signs of this trouble since then. Later on the
man found out who the lady was who came to help him in answer to his prayer.
In 1910 a
certain man left one of the southern seaports in a ship bound for South Africa.
The sea was rough when they reached the southern end of South America, but the
rest of the trip out was all right. On the return trip they were out on the
Pacific Ocean going west. When they were about two days out from Hawaii, the
ship struck something and began to sink rapidly. When the life boats were being
lowered, an old man called this man and another man and told them to get into a
lifeboat.
The three men
got into a boat and got away just in time to escape death. The ship suddenly
did a nose dive and went down. The sun was just setting, and by its light they
looked about for other boats or men, but they could see no one except
themselves. They were alone far out on the broad Pacific Ocean.
This man did
not see the water jug or the food box, and he began to be afraid that he would
starve to death or die of thirst. He looked at the old man and wondered who he
was. He had been all over the ship, and he was sure that he had never seen this
man before. Who could he be? He then asked the old man if there was any water
in the jug and he was told to look and see. His heart fell when he picked up
the jug, for there was only a little water in it.
The old man
told him not to drink any more than he needed, and he obeyed although he felt
as though he needed all the water in the jug right then and there. He asked the
old man if there was any food on the boat. "I cannot find the food box in
the front end of the boat," he said anxiously.
"There
is food under all the seats," his new friend answered.
By this time
it was night, and it became very dark. The man hunted around as best he could,
and he found the food box and got out some biscuits, and the other man and he
ate them together. The old man would not accept any of them. They did not see
this old man eat or drink during the entire three days that they were drifting
about on, the Pacific Ocean.
The first
night the man could not sleep, as he was so afraid that something might turn
the boat over. During the following day they saw something very large in the
water looking at them, and he was terrified. He was almost paralyzed with fear
over his safety. The old man told him not to put his hand in the water, as
there were huge fish all about them.
That evening
it was moonlight, and the man saw many kinds of round red lights darting about.
Some were large and far apart, and some were small and close together. He could
not go to sleep but watched them as they came and went.
When the man
awoke the next morning, he found the old man there in his place watching. For
some strange reason the water never gave out no matter how often they drank,
and each time they reached for food, they found the same amount there. The man
spoke about it and wondered. "l know that I ate two biscuits yesterday,
and there are the same number in the box today," he told the old man.
The man was very
tired and sleepy that day, but he was afraid to go to sleep. It seemed as if
all the fish in that part of the ocean came up to look at the men in the boat.
Other creatures that lived in the water came up and looked at them. It seemed
as if the word had been passed around that they were going to have some food
given to them. The man thought that they looked hungry. "It will not be
long now," they seemed to say to each other.
The overly
tired and frightened man became sensitive, and his sight was extended, and he
began to imagine things. He wondered where the fish would bite him first. He
found that there are many things in the ocean that scientists have not named.
He saw creatures that looked like snakes that were silver colored and others
that were of a golden color. When the sun shone on these creatures in the green
water, it gave the man an awful feeling of being helpless and alone. He seemed
to be waiting for the time to come when he would be eaten. His thoughts turned
to God.
The man began
to pray out loud to God. "O, Lord! Have mercy on me and save me," he
begged.
"Leave
out the me and say us," the old man quietly said to him.
"And try harder, for I doubt if your prayers leave the boat."
The man
looked out over the water, and he saw something that had eyes as large as an
ordinary washtub, and he began to pray in earnest. Now he included all three in
his prayers to God for safety.
"Dear
God," if you will let us get to land, any land, I will do what you want me
to do," he prayed. After praying for a long time, he became very sleepy.
"Lord, have mercy on us," he said. Then the man lost sight of
everything and forgot that he was in the boat.
"That is
the way to pray, and we will get somewhere now," he faintly heard someone
say.
When the man
came to himself, he was not so afraid, and he resigned himself to his fate and
said so. "I am too tired to stay awake," he said, and went to sleep
without giving any further thought to what might happen to him.
The next
morning the boat was high up on dry land when the two sailors awakened. They
found themselves on the shore of the western part of the North American
continent, and the old man was gone. The water jug was empty, and there were no
biscuits on the boat. Then the two sailors talked over the events of the
preceding three days. The second man said that he had been a sailor for ten
years and had never been shipwrecked before.
They spoke
about how well the food and water lasted.
"I never
saw a jug of water before that I could not drink up in less than three days
myself," said the second man.
The two men
could not understand why the water did not give out and why there was always
the same amount of food no matter how much they ate. They wondered who the old
man was and where he had gone. Their lives and been miraculously saved, and
they were alone.
The two men
went on to the nearest town, and the first man obtained work and later paid his
way home. He has never seen the second man since the day they reached the shore
in safety.
The first man
met the old man again years later. One night while he was out of his body in
sleep, he met him, and the old man made himself known to him. "I don't
suppose you know me," the man said.
"No, I
don't know you," the other man answered.
"Anyway,
you are partly keeping the promise you made to God." said the old man.
"What promise?" asked the other man.
The old man
went on and related what had happened in the boat on the Pacific Ocean many
years before.
"Are you
the man who was with us?" asked the surprised man.
"I am
he," said the old man.
The two men
became good friends at once, and the man asked the old man more about the
mystery, and the old man explained it all and showed all the chief events by
Jupiterian Consciousness.
The old man
went to the ship in his higher vehicles at the time when the ship was about to
sink, for it was not their destiny to go down with it. He materialized and
helped the two men get into a lifeboat. He kept everything in the sea away from
them, and waited until they repented and asked God for help, and then he pulled
the boat to shore after reversing the law of gravity so that it floated in the
air. After they were safe on shore, he left them. The man found out that this
old man who saved him is a Liberated One and that he left his body for three
days in order to save them. The first man has since kept his promise.
An Invisible
Helper cannot ordinarily stay out of his body three days in order to accomplish
such a mission as the one just related, but the higher Lay Brothers and Lay
Sisters can do this. Most Helpers have their work in the world to do and stay
at work only during the usual sleeping hours. Helpers often rescue people, who
have been shipwrecked.
In telling
this story the shipwrecked man said that he learned that one must give up his
whole self to prayer in order to get results, that prayer is the key to Heaven,
and that it is true that faith unlocks the door and leads to the desired
results.
Max Heindel, in his booklet, The
Mystical Interpretation of Easter has said that when Christ was
crucified on Golgotha His great sacrifice for humanity had only just begun.
"Each year since that time on the twenty-first of September, when the sun
passes from the Zodiacal sign Virgo into the sign of Libra, the Christ Spirit
returning to our earth touches its atmosphere. He starts on his downward
journey about the twenty-first of June at the summer solstice, when the sun
enters Cancer. He reaches the center of the earth at midnight, December the
twenty-fourth. There He remains for three days, and then He starts to withdraw.
This withdrawal is completed at Easter. From Easter until the summer solstice
He is passing through the higher worlds, and reaches the World of Divine
Spirit, the throne of the Father, on June twenty-first. During July and August,
while the Sun is in Cancer and Leo, He is rebuilding His Life Spirit vehicle
which He is again to bring to the world and with it rejuvenate the earth and
the life kingdoms evolving in and on it. From Christmas until Easter He gives
of Himself without stint or measure, endowing with life, not only the sleeping
seeds but everything about on and within the earth."
Early one
Wednesday morning on the twenty-first of March, the great Sun Spirit Christ
arose from the earth, and he was seen by about eleven hundred students of a
certain school of Mystics who met that night in the Desire World. A Lay Brother
told them that he was going to take them to see the ascension of our dear
brother Christ Jesus. Then he and two other teachers took them all to some
place in the Desire World where they could see the whole world.
They seemed
to be in an open amphitheater, and they found seats and sat down where they
could see what was about to take place. They saw a row of very High Beings
come, and then a row of Liberated Ones came. Next came the Archangels, then the
Angels, and then the Initiates. All were surrounded with large and beautiful
auras which were of delicate colors and dazzling white and gold light which it
would be impossible to describe.
The
procession went up a gradual incline. All those present heard the music of the
spheres and the Angels singing. The whole world looked like one big ball of
white light, and when the Christ came out of the earth, the beings that were in
the procession to meet him were in a square formation, and He was placed in the
center.
The bright
beings formed five great squares of varying sizes about the Christ, and it was
a strong and powerful bodyguard of great Beings in their higher vehicles.
Some of the
students cried, some prayed, some sang, and some went into a state of ecstasy
and showed great enthusiasm and happiness, and some called on God to have mercy
on them. The great audience watched Christ come out of the earth and go out of
sight.
Christ looked
tired and worn but happy. We must remember that He had been cramped up in the
earth for six months and had felt the sorrows, sins, and troubles of all life
during the entire period. The Christ's aura lit up the whole earth. This marvelous
sight will stimulate all those who saw it and make them go faster even if they
do not remember it in their waking consciousness.
Chapter VI
Obsession, Elementals,
Vampires, and Entities
Very few people understand what obsession means. To
most people the word obsession means a desire to do something or that they want
something very badly.
There are two
forms of obsession. In the first form one is ruled by his desires for different
things. We are not concerned about this form of obsession because we know that
time and conditions will cure it.
The second
form of obsession is the one that has baffled all the people down through the
ages, except the true Esoteric students who have advanced far enough to know for
themselves what it really is.
When a
carefree person becomes silent and inactive and acts as if he had lost his
mind, and cannot speak and lies still as if asleep, the doctors call it
sleeping sickness. This is not the case. The person has allowed himseIf to
become very negative mentally and used up his bodily resistance and so he
cannot withstand the onslaught of the elementals and entities that are lurking
about seeking to obsess everyone.
The condition
of the person depends on the kind of entity or elemental that has entered the
body. If the entity or elemental is an inexperienced one and does not know how
to use the body or the vocal cords, the person who has been obsessed lies still
as if asleep, but in reality he hears everything that is said and knows all
that is done to his body.
The great,
unconscious source of danger to those who live a riotous life and to others who
are careless of their thoughts and deeds is obsession. There are some people
who are overshadowed by sin bodies which seek to obsess them and make them do
all kinds of evil, from petty thievery up to murder. After the victim has been
put in jail the entity leaves him to take the punishment. Then the entity goes
to seek new victims.
Elementals
and entities are of two forms, experienced and inexperienced. The inexperienced
entities generally oust a person from his body and enter it and then cannot get
out. The experienced entity or elemental knows how to handle the human body and
can enter and leave a human body at will. When an obsessed person dies, his
inner vehicles may be held by elementals for centuries. The rightful owner will
wander in the lower Desire World hoping to catch the entity and get his
vehicles back so he can finish his evolution.
A sin body is
formed by the coalescing of the vital body and the desire body of a person who
in that particular life has been unusually cruel and mean. When such a person
dies, the malice and hatred that he has generated in his mind and heart cause
the interlocking of his desire and vital bodies and he becomes a menace to
society. That is one of the reasons why capital punishment should be abolished.
When an evil person is out of his body after death and meets a weak-willed
person he can easily make him a victim of his influence and cause him to do
much harm while under that influence.
Many
criminals become earthbound after death and go about for many years inciting
others to do evil deeds. They pile up an awful load of karma that must be paid
for at some future time. When at last the departed spirit gets out of purgatory
it has been chastened and is then allowed to go on into the higher worlds,
where it stays for a time. The sin body is able to live a separate existence
for hundreds of years and it seems to have an individual consciousness that
causes it to wait around for the ego who made it. When that ego is reborn the
old sin body is attracted to it and usually stays with it all through life as a
demon. Such a sin body seeks to cause all the trouble that it possibly can to
the ego.
By means of
stories I will try to show you how Invisible Helpers deal with elementals,
entities, and vampires when they meet them in the course of their work of
helping people.
One night
some Helpers were out with a Lay Sister who is a friend of theirs. They were
all out in their higher bodies helping people. This Lay Sister works with
people who are troubled with sin bodies and helps them all she can.
One of the
Helpers asked this lady to show them a vampire but, there were none there at
that time. They saw, however, many people with sin bodies following them. These
people had drawn and fearful expressions on their faces and they looked as if
they were expecting some trouble to come upon them.
These sin
bodies were fearful looking things. The part that was used the most was large
and all out of proportion to the rest of the body. For instance one man in his
past life had used his hand to strangle others or inflict torture. His sin body
had a huge hand that nearly touched the ground. Another man had sent out many evil
thoughts from his brain and his sin body had an enormous head. Another man had
been given to immoral practices and his generative organs were very large.
These sin bodies were hideous looking things and the Helpers were amazed to see
some of them.
Here is a
case of obsession that some Helpers found one night in a hospital where they
sometimes work. The doctors had a woman strapped in a bed. They said that she
was insane and had been that way for several months. The Helpers went and
looked at her. They found her standing outside her body with an elemental in
it. She was a negative person and the elemental slipped into her body and
ousted her. She seemed to be about thirty- five years old and was well built
and good-looking.
The Helpers
talked to this woman and she said that she had joined a voodoo society and that
this was the result.
"If you
get well will you live a good, useful life?" asked one of the Helpers.
"Yes, I
will," she answered. "Please make that thing keep still in my body.
He hurts me because he keeps on jerking and twisting. I have suffered much
since it pushed me out of my body and I have often prayed to God to let me die
or let me have my body back. I love my body and I will take good care of it if
I can have it back. You are the only people who have come near me, or that I have
seen that I could talk to. I have seen many things that I was afraid of. Will
you please help me?"
The man
Helper called a good friend of his who spends practically the whole day and
night working out of her body as a Helper and asked her if they could help this
poor lady.
"Yes,
you may help her," she said. "Take her to the laboratory and cross
her and command the evil entity to come out and enter a guinea pig and then
kill the pig and the entity will go back to the Desire World."
The Helpers
and the supervisor took the patient to the place designated. They had to strap
her to the cart because of the entity who had control over her body. He became
uneasy for he sensed danger to himself. Then the Helper crossed the lady and
told the entity to come out. It wrenched her body and came out and went into
the guinea pig, and the Helper killed the pig and the entity had to go to the
Desire World to receive its punishment for the evil it had done. Before it
left, the entity took on various shapes. It looked like a dog, then like a cat,
then Iike a long snake, and then like a man about the size of an elephant. It
looked at the Helpers and the man Helper told it to be gone and it left.
After that
the Helper told the woman that she could get back into her body.
"My body
hurts me," she said.
"If you
get into it, it will cease hurting you," the Helper replied.
She slid
back into her body and was taken back to her bed and she was perfectly sane
although she was very weak. She remained at the hospital until her strength
returned and then went home cured and well.
Not long
after this, these Helpers went up into the woods to the voodoo camp that she
had joined. It was located underground with a house built over the entrance.
There were about thirty men and women in the foul-smelling place. They were
doing all kinds of things and getting into all kinds of shapes. The people had
taken off most of their clothing.
While they
were going through these strange practices a man was searching their clothing
and taking all their valuables. When this man saw the Helpers he went back and
told the leader, who then came out dressed in a long robe.
"Follow
me," he said and led them into a room where there three human skulls on a
table.
A Helper
picked up one of the skulls and found out that the people had been killed for
the voodoo god. The man in the long robe asked the Helpers if they wanted to
join the society.
"No," said the man Helper. "We came to ask you to send these
people away. You must also give them back all their belongings."
The leader
became very angry and he said that he would give the strangers to the voodoo
god. He rang a bell and told a man to get the altar ready for the two
strangers, as the god wanted them. Then four men came in and took hold of the
Helpers, who were carried out into the large room, where the people were
assembled. The leader told them that the voodoo god required them. Two of the
women fainted from fright.
One Helper
looked about and he saw the most horrible thing he had ever seen in his life.
It was a sin body like a man and it had a large mouth covered with blood. His
hands were as large as the seat of a large chair and his arms were enormous.
"Let's
go," said the lady Helper. "We can't do anything to him and he will
hurt us.
The leader
told the man who was standing nearby with a knife to strike the strangers down,
and he raised his knife to strike.
"Hold
it there," the man Helper ordered before he could strike him.
Then the
terrible sin body lunged at the leader, who ran back in terror. "Give him
somebody else. Anyone, so he won't get me," he cried out to his servants.
Just as the
sin body grabbed hold of the man, the Helper told him to let the man go and to
go back to the Desire World. The sin body could talk.
"This
man has made me what I am by many lives of evil doing," he said, "and
now I am going to take him."
"No,
not this time, but go yourself to the Desire World," ordered the man
Helper.
The sin body
went and the wicked leader became insane and acted like a raving maniac. The
Helper took him and put him in a room out of the way.
The Helper
told the people to put their clothes on and get their valuables and leave the
place. They did this and started off, and the Helper crossed everyone before
them as they went out the door, and the room was full of elementals that had
been released, who all followed the Helpers. One of the Helpers was frightened
at their dreadful appearance and she stayed close to her partner.
The man
Helper told the elementals to go or to be burnt up.
"You
can't hurt us," they said, "but we are going to get both of
you."
The Helper
piled up everything remaining in the place and put some kerosene on it for they
had oil lamps and candles. Just before they set the place on fire the Helpers
looked under the altar and saw the dead bodies of two women and a man which had
been mutilated. They also found a live woman up in the attic of the house and
they took her out. The Helpers took the insane man out and set the place on
fire and the elementals were burned.
The house
soon went up in flames and the Helper turned the insane man over to the police,
but later he broke away from them, and went back to the fire and went into the
burning house and was burnt up. This ego had caused many persons to go insane
and become obsessed. The Helpers saw him in the Desire World running about
wildly. His fearful looking sin body was destroyed with the elementals. When
this man is reborn again he will have an opportunity to again live a good life
and pay off some of his debts of destiny, for we reap as we sow.
When you
read of similar cases to this one where people have been used as human
sacrifices you may know that someone is being forced to kill someone else by
his sin body that he has built up by lives of evil in the past. Invisible
Helpers can sometimes destroy their vehicles and make them go to the Desire
World, but ordinary people are helpless in such a case, so don't any of you try
to do anything while in your physical bodies or you will be in danger.
Another
night some Helpers who were out helping people met a little girl who was
running down a street. "Where are you going?" asked the lady Helper.
"Lady,
please come and save my mamma," she gasped out. "My papa hit her and
she fell down and now she won't talk to me and he is beating my brother."
The Helpers
hurried with her to her home, where they found the father beating the boy. The
man Helper told the man to stop and he turned and struck at the Helper but
missed him. Then he reached for his gun and shot the boy in the shoulder and
then pointed the gun at the little girl. Just then the Helper caused the man to
fall to the floor unconscious.
"Please,
lady, save my mamma and my brother," begged the child.
The Helpers
tied the mother's head up and worked on the boy so that he would live. The man
regained consciousness and began raving in a most terrible way. The Helper saw
that he was obsessed and drunk and did not know what he was doing.
The man
Helper crossed the man and told the entity to come out, and it came out, and
the man became sober at once and he saw what he had done.
"I am
through with him," said the wife and she began to pack her things. The man
begged her to forgive him and promised that he would be a good husband to her
and a father to the children. The wife said that she forgave him but that she
was through.
The Helpers
talked to them both and told the mother that it would be best for her to stay
with her husband for her husband was a cured man, but she kept her word and
left him, taking her two children with her. The children were afraid of their
father and ran from him when he went near them. The Helpers could not blame the
wife for leaving him, as he had caused her so much sorrow and suffering.
The woman
asked the Helpers who they were and they told her and she was very much
surprised at their work. The husband was broken-hearted over what he had done
and at the loss his family. The obsessing entity had driven him out of his body
and had taken possession of it and did the mischief, while the real owner stood
outside helpless to do anything.
Many cases
of so called sleeping sickness are really cases of obsession. One night some
Helpers went to see a girl who had been sleeping for a long time. She was
standing beside her body with her head down in a deep study. One Helper touched
her on her shoulder and she turned around quickly. "Oh, am I to stay this
way forever?" she asked. "Am I dead or what is the matter? What have
I done to be this way? I was to have been married some time ago, but I can't
make anyone hear or see me.
The poor
girl became much excited and the Helpers quieted her. One of the Helpers told
this girl that in the far past she had used her powerful mind to hypnotize
people, to show her power of mind over people, and that she, kept some of her
victims under her influence too long and so weakened their power of resistance
that they fell a prey to entities and were obsessed for the rest of their
lives.
The girl
said that if she got another chance she would give them all an opportunity to
come to birth through her, as she wanted to do something to get out of that
condition. She asked the strangers how they happened to come to her and they
told her that a lady told them about her and that they got permission to go and
see her and do what they could for her. The Helpers told her that she would be
free in time and for her to pray to God for help and strength.
The man
Helper told her that she was once in charge of some African slaves and she used
her hypnotic powers on them and had all the people afraid of her for miles
around.
"Will
you give birth to these victims of a past life and be a good mother to
them?" asked the Helper.
"Yes,
why not?" she asked. "I did wrong by them, did I not?"
This girl
was shown by means of the Jupiterian Consciousness what she had done in the
past to merit such a fate as to be a victim of sleeping sickness in this life.
She saw how she was able to look at one of the natives and make the person fall
under her influence.
The Helpers
saw the entity in her body and that he could not get out. When the entity slid
down at times she could get partly in her physical body and was able to move it
or say a few words. Then the entity would push her out to give himself more
room and she had to stand beside her body unseen by her family and friends
Here is
another story that was given to me. Some Helpers were sent to a place in the
mountains in the southern part of the United States to a home. They were told
to go and stop a man from beating his family. One Helper was told to be very
careful and tie his partner to him so that she would not become so frightened
that she would rush back home and get into her body so suddenly that she would
suffer from the shock.
When the
Helpers reached the place they found a man beating his wife. He had already
beaten his daughter until she was black and blue and unconscious. When the man
saw the Helper in the room it seemed as if he went crazy. The Helpers looked
behind him and they saw the most gruesome and horrible sin body that could be
imagined.
This sin
body snarled at the Helpers.
"Let's
go," said the lady Helper. "I don't want to see any sin bodies."
"We
can't go now until we rid this man of his sin body," said the other
Helper.
The sin body
had a head about the size of a beer keg, and his hips and stomach looked like
an over-sized barrel, and his teeth hooked like the tusks of a wild boar. Its
hands were about two feet across and hung down to the floor. Its feet looked
like large paddles.
The sin body
had a sharp spear with which he was prodding the man in the back of his head
and making him go on. The man was drunk but he looked as if he had been a
good-looking man before he began drinking whiskey.
The man
Helper commanded the elemental to stop and it did. Then he made it go into a
corner of the room. After that the Helper made the man stop beating his wife,
who was nearly unconscious. The Helper asked the man why he was beating his
wife.
"I
don't know," he said and he wiped his forehead as if he was clearing up
his mind. "I do not know why I did it. Something made me." The man
looked in surprise at the Helpers, who were materialized and shining brightly.
The Helpers
turned their attention to the wife and asked her to get up. She was in a
pitiable state. She was badly bruised and her clothing was in shreds, for the
man had about torn her clothes and the daughter's off while under the sin
body's influence.
"Angels, let me die," said the wife. "I have suffered enough and
do not want to live. Death will be welcome to me. Let me die."
While the
Helpers were talking to the woman, who was on the floor, the sin body rushed at
the man and started him off again. The man jumped on her and she lost
consciousness and stiffened out. Soon she stood beside her body. "What has
happened?" she asked.
The lady
Helper turned to her partner and said, "Is she dead?"
"She is
in a dead faint," he replied.
The Helper
made the sin body leave the man and the sin body rushed at the Helper, who then
crossed him and told him to be gone. A blue flame went up where he stood and
the Helpers saw him no more. It was the earth ether that the Helpers saw burn
up. The sin body had gathered enough of this ether about his vital body to hold
his desire body together while he was using it. The desire body then went back
to the Desire World to disintegrate.
The man screamed
and fell in a faint and three small elementals left him and the Helper destroyed
them at once. The man groaned and twisted himself into many different shapes
and then stiffened out and became straight.
"Oh, he
is dead," said the lady Helper.
"Wait," said her partner, "and you will see whether he is dead
or not."
The Helper
crossed the man again and a full sized elemental came out and ran into a dog
which was crouching under the table. The dog jumped out of the window and
headed toward a steep cliff, and the Helpers knew that he would jump over and
be killed, and the elemental would be forced to go to Purgatory and be punished
for his evil deeds.
The Helpers
put the girl and her mother on the ragged bed and did what they could to restore
their strength and soothe their pains. They went to the man after that and
brought him back to consciousness and showed him what he had done to his
family. He looked at his wife and daughter in surprise. "Who did it?"
he said, and he hugged and kissed them both. He was a changed man, for he had
been obsessed for years and was driven on by his sin body. He had known nothing
of what he had done. The man said that be would do better and would move away
from that place as soon as he could.
One Helper
asked the other what had caused all of his trouble. They went to the woman and
daughter and took hold of their hands. The man was on the other side of his
wife holding her hand. The Helpers asked to see the lives of these people and
what caused them to be in that condition.
The panorama
of their lives went back three lives to the time when the wife and mother
started out to practice witchcraft with her daughter, who was then another
woman and not related to her. The husband was the go between man who went to
the wealthy people who employed them to do things for them. Soon these people
became more evil and sank very low. They destroyed many homes and wrecked many
lives. Finally they died in a pitiful condition alone. The man was the worst
after he got started. He built up this terrible sin body by his wicked thoughts
and evil deeds.
In the next
life they had a life of sickness and poverty, and the mother and the present
daughter, although thousands of miles apart, began to atone for their past evil
deeds by doing what they could to advise people to guard their health and not
lead such reckless lives. They did not know why they were so anxious to help
others.
They were
men but, they couldn't do any work because of their poor health. They both
suffered much from poverty. The man was then a woman. She passed from one thing
to another, sinking lower and lower until sickness overtook her and she passed
on without repenting. Destiny brought them together as man and wife and
daughter to pay off this debt.
Sixteen
years previous to this time the man and woman met and were married and later
this girl had been born. Soon afterwards he became obsessed and had treated his
family very badly ever since.
The woman
said that she could not leave her husband, for she had once loved him and they
had lived happily until he began to drink. The man had been obsessed for twelve
years and grew gradually worse, until life was a hell for them.
All three of
the people saw their past lives as the panorama unfolded, and they promised to
live better lives and leave the mountains. The man became frightened and wanted
to know if he would ever be that way again.
"No,
you will be all right unless you start drinking again." replied the man
Helper.
The man said
that he had not been himself for twelve years, but that he did know that he did
not have his body for he stood outside of it most of the time, and that he
often wished that he could do better, but that something always made him do as
he had done. The poor man said that when he was out of his body all kinds of
things would torment him. These were elementals. They were from six inches in
height to nine or ten feet or larger and horrible to see.
These
elementals would smother him and when he got his body back he would have a
dread that something would be watching him all the time. He never saw it but it
drove him to start drinking and then he would find himself standing beside his
body and someone would be in his body beating his wife or daughter. When he got
his body back he would know nothing of it and wondered what had happened to
them.
The man said
that the strangers had made everything clear to him and that through prayers
and service to mankind he hoped to atone for his past sins.
This is a
sad story, but such things are going on right along in all parts of the world
and it is our duty to try to understand the reasons why such awful things
happen and to try to do what we can to tell others in order that humanity may
know the truth. Then when we know the dangers of strong drink and other evils
we are less liable to obsession, which is a very dreadful condition.
Here is the
story of a boy who became obsessed when he was eight years old, but was finally
cured. One Tuesday night two Helpers went to the home of a family and found a
twelve-year-old boy who was obsessed. He was kept in bed at night and was kept
in a specially constructed room in the daytime. The Helpers found the mother of
the boy sitting beside him asleep and holding his band. The entity was in his
physical body lying on the bed. The boy in his desire body was in his mother's
lap. There was a pretty blue streak of effluvia leading up from the mother's
head. This was caused by her many prayers for her son.
One Helper
at once materialized and touched the mother on her shoulder, and she woke up.
"We are friends who have come to help you," she said.
"Oh,
Angel, I am glad for I have not slept in my bed for four years and I am nearly
worn out," said the mother. "I cannot get anyone to help me with
him."
"How
did your son become this way?" asked the Helper.
"He was
eight years old when he was suddenly taken with a spell after he came home from
school one day," the mother said. "He became unconscious and remained
that way for four months. Then he became violent. We put him in the hospital,
where he stayed for a long time, but he did not get better, so we brought him
home. I gave up everything and devoted my time to him. I seldom left the house
and when I did I was so nervous that I did not enjoy myself. Then I stopped
going out entirely and I have not been out of the yard for three years. Please
help my son if you can. If you cannot, will you please take both of us to
Heaven or wherever we are to go."
Both of the
Helpers were now materialized and one of them asked the mother to leave the
room while they worked with the boy. She begged the Helpers to let her stay,
but they refused, for they knew that she was in too weak a condition to stand
any excitement.
"I am
going to untie the boy," said one Helper. "Now do not run away."
"I will
stay," said the other Helper, "but you had better tie me to you to
make sure."
He did that
and then he untied the boy. The entity in the boy's body jumped out of bed and
got to the Helper and tried to bite him.
"Tie
him up again," advised the lady Helper.
"No," said her companion and he pushed the entity away. He then
crossed the boy's body and told the entity to come out.
The entity
got out of the body and swelled up until it was larger than both of the Helpers
together. The entity started after the Helper, who commanded it to stand still.
It came on and the Helper crossed it and a blue flame went up from it. This
flame smelled like brimstone. The entity let out a yell and disappeared.
The boy's
body fell on the floor when the entity left it. One Helper picked up the body
and put it on the bed and he coaxed the boy back into his body and locked him
in it, and woke him up.
"Where
is my mama? I want her," said the boy.
One Helper
went to the door, and called the mother and told her to get her husband and
come into the room. The parents both came in. The boy called his mother to him
and spoke to her with a weak voice. "Mama," he said, "every
night I sat in your lap and heard you pray and I began to pray with you. I
heard all you said to papa and the other people. I was standing beside my body
and something else was in it. No, it was in me. I was not in my body. I was
beside my body and that thing hurt me."
The mother
asked in a tearful voice if her boy had lost his mind.
"No,
Mother, but something was in me and pushed," said the boy. "It could
not talk but I can. I saw the Angels come in through the wall and then I saw
her head like yours first and then she seemed to stretch out like we are and
then she touched you on the shoulder."
You see, the
boy saw the Helpers materialize. This is a rapid process and the head forms
first and the rest forms almost at once. When Helpers disappear, the head is
the last part of the body to be visible.
"Yes,
she touched me," spoke up the mother. She turned to one of the Helpers.
"I am so glad that he is sane and can talk. When, can I untie him?"
Before the
Helper could answer, the boy spoke. "I am not tied. Look," he said.
The Helper
told the boy to get up and he did, but he was too weak to walk. The Helper told
the parents what to feed him and assured them that their son would be all right
in a week's time and to let him get up a little while every day and to have him
wear dark glasses for about a month to protect his eyes.
"Did
you do what my boy said?" asked the father, turning to one of the Helpers.
"Yes," answered the Helper.
"Oh,
Mother," continued the boy. "That thing tried to bite him and he
pushed him away and did something and that thing came out of me and I fell to
the floor. (He meant that his body fell to the floor.) Then that thing (meaning
the entity) became real big and went after the man. The man said something and
did something and a blue flame came from it and it smelled bad and it
disappeared crying."
"Is
that true?" asked the father, and the Helper said, "Yes."
"If the
boy was unconscious how, could he see and hear what was done?" questioned
the puzzled father.
"The
ego, or the boy himself," said the Helper, "was not unconscious and
could see and hear. He was obsessed by an entity and we drove it out,
disintegrated it, and sent it to the Desire World." He then told the
father about their religious teachings.
"Well,
Angel," said the boy's father, "I heard of this teaching and I put it
in the same class with the churches, as I saw no difference in the members.
Some of them should not be in possession of these lofty teachings."
The Helpers
told the man that they were human and worked out of their bodies at night. The
man said that he could not believe them unless they gave him their address.
They would not do this, of course. They had only come to answer the prayers of
the boy and his mother and not to convince the father of anything.
By this time
the little boy was asleep. The Helper told the mother to go to bed.
"I will
not sleep if I do," she said.
"You go
to bed and you will sleep all right," said one Helper.
She did so,
and soon fell into a dreamless sleep of peace and rested. The Helpers went on
their way happy because they had been of service to others. Now, this boy was
cured of obsession by means of prayer. He must have caused some other child in
a past life to suffer in this way and he was reaping his punishment. His
present parents were also his parents in the past and either they did not try
to teach him to be good or they were in some way involved in his wrong doing.
Abuse of mental power in one life leads to physical disability in later
existences.
One winter
night two Helpers were crossing over the northern part of Europe and they saw a
woman in trouble. An obsessed woman was trying to force her into the icy water
where she would surely have been drowned. One Helper came down and stopped the
obsessed woman. She had knocked the woman down on the slippery ice and had
kicked her in the stomach, and the woman was doubled up from pain as she had
been injured. The obsessed woman started to fight the Helper and he crossed her
and drove out the entity, and it was forced to go to the Desire World.
The right
owner of the body re-entered it and then she saw what she had done and she was very
sorry over what had happened. The Helpers lifted the injured woman up, and her
friends came and got her and took her home. This woman had wanted to be a
medium but this experience cured her.
The woman
who had been obsessed was a leader and teacher of about twenty-five women. She
was developing them into mediums and she had called an early morning meeting to
initiate some of her followers, as she called it, but in reality he was to give
one of the women to her guide, who required blood of a human being. She had
already collected quite a sum of money from the women. The Helpers saved the
woman and broke up the medium's plans to kill the woman for her guide.
Another
night these Helpers were in a city in the southern part of the United States
and they passed a hospital. "Let's go in," said one of them. They
entered and went about the wards unseen by the patients and nurses because they
were in their desire bodies. On their way out they went into the surgery room.
There they
saw some doctors trying to put a woman to sleep. She was strapped on a table
but she was fighting them. One Helper looked at her eyes and saw that they were
set. Then he saw the ego of the woman standing beside her body with her eyes
dilated with fear. Then he knew that she was obsessed and that the obsessing
entity had taken possession of her body and was keeping the rightful owner out.
The real owner of the body begged the Helpers to do something for her.
The doctors
thought that something was wrong with the patient's head and they were going to
operate and see. One Helper asked the Higher Ones to wipe out of the doctor's
mind entirely the idea of operating on her. Then one of the doctors stepped
back from the woman.
"Let's
wait," he said. "If we force her to go to sleep, we may cause her
heart to go bad and she wiIl die."
The other
two doctors agreed and they took the patient back to the ward. The strangers
went along and watched the orderly strap her in bed. The man left the room and
the Helpers went to the woman and worked on her body and drove the obsessing
entity out. The entity seemed glad to go to go for it was locked in her body
and it did not like the ether. Then one Helper crossed it and ordered it out it
came out quickly and left. The woman entered her body and she thanked the
strangers. She at once began belching the ether up and passing it through her
intestinal tract. It was this gas that was hurting the entity when it was in
her body. The woman felt the pain and distress of everything that was done to
her in the hospital because she was attached to her body by means of her silver
cord.
One Helper
materialized his hands and unbound the woman and she soon went to sleep. He
left a note for the nurse, who was then out of the room. The note said,
"Do not strap this patient up as she is cured and will not cause you any
more trouble." He knew the nurse would be glad for she would not have to
change the bedding so often, after that. The Helpers then left and went to help
someone else.
Esoteric
students who desire to become Invisible Helpers should learn all they can about
the dangers of obsession so that they may be able, first to help others when in
the course of their work they are sent to help people who are victims of
obsession, and second so that they may avoid such danger to themselves.
Some
students become so eager to learn more about the unseen world that they dabble
in spiritualism or in the East Indian Teachings, which are dangerous for the
people of the western world, for breathing exercises often cause entities to be
attracted to such people. These entities may, in turn, actually obsess a person
if an opportunity offers.
Here is a
story about a woman who obsessed her parrot after she died. One November night
two Helpers were sent to a home in one of the southern states where a lady had
died about two weeks before. Since her death the family parrot had been acting
very strange. It had been fighting everybody about the little girl, who was
about twelve years old. The mother of the girl had been fond of pets and had
taught the parrot everything she could. She had put it on a par with her
daughter, who was the apple of her eye.
The mother
was afraid to die and when she died the girl said the parrot had a fit or
something and then it began to give instructions about her mother's funeral.
When the undertaker came and began to embalm the woman's body she began to
scream, "Stop him. He is hurting her. She is not dead."
The parrot
continued to scream and jump around, "She is burning up inside," it
said. Then the parrot began to move more slowly. "Oh! she is freezing. Put
her coat on her," said the parrot.
The girl
told the Helpers that no one could explain the strange actions of the parrot.
"Since that time the parrot has been talking just like mother,"
continued the girl.
One Helper
asked the girl what kind of books her mother read and she showed them the
mother's library. There they saw all kinds of old Esoteric books that deal with
breathing, transmigration and rebirth, etc. The Helpers then understood what
had happened to the parrot. The dead woman had obsessed the body of the parrot
and was causing all the trouble in the family.
Then the
parrot caused some excitement. He was out of his cage and had followed the
Helpers and the girl into the library. He began to attack the Helpers with his
beak and claws.
"Put
them out," he said. "Kill them. They are after me and want to take
you away."
"You
keep quiet," said one of the Helpers to the parrot and he kept still.
The child's
father and brother and aunt looked at the Helpers.
"They
are not human," said the parrot suddenly. "They are Angels."
The human
ego in the parrot's body recognized that the Helpers were not ordinary people
in human bodies. The man Helper then had the family sit down and he explained
the Esoteric teachings to them. He told them how some people in former lives
killed themselves and were taught a severe lesson. They were never to destroy
themselves. If they do, when they come back they are afraid to die and will
obsess anything and take its body to keep from going to Purgatory or to Heaven
for they do not want to leave this earth. He told the people that the ego of
the lad who died saw the parrot out of his body asleep and right after she died
she ran into the parrot's body. Since she was not fully severed from her own
body she felt all that the undertaker did to her.
The Helpers
explained what takes place when a person's body is embalmed soon after death.
The embalming fluid burns when it is put into the body and when it begins to
set, the person feels cold and complains of freezing stiff as the body gets hard.
The family
all understood what the Helper told them. He then told them not to have any of
their people embalmed when they passed on. The husband wanted to know what they
should do with the parrot.
"I do
not know, but I will call for someone to come who will know," the Helper
answered. He called a high Lay Sister to come and help them and she soon came.
The parrot
again started after the Helpers, and one of the lady Helpers became excited
again, but the other lady Helper soon quieted the parrot. She sat down and
called the parrot to her and he flew into her lap. The lady began talking to
the parrot and everyone who was present heard what was being said.
"My
friend! The life before this one when you were a man you killed yourself
because your husband here, who was then a woman, died from an illness. This
girl was then a boy. She grieved after both of you and soon died. You were
carried to the place where people go who kill themselves and you stayed there
forty years, or until you would have died a natural death. The lesson was very
severe. Now you are afraid to die. You will not have the same experience this
time. Why rob this poor bird of his experience? You will be punished for it.
Your friends here cannot and will not keep you because you will cause trouble
between your husband and his next wife and make more punishment for yourself.
Why not come out of the body and go on with your evolution for you will have to
meet it some day anyway?"
The Lay
Sister talked in a very low sweet voice to the parrot and stroked it while she
talked.
"Oh, I
am afraid to die," said the parrot. "I do not want to go back there.
Please let me stay here. My daughter will take care of me."
"Your
daughter is not able to take care of herself, and when the other woman comes
you must go," said the lady. "Then you will be treated badly by
others because of your talking, and you will finally be killed by a dog."
"Will
you promise not to take me back to that horrible place?" said the parrot,
"Yes," said the lady.
"Get my
daughter," said the parrot, "and have her take me to the basement
with my dear husband. I want to show them something I have for my
daughter."
All of the
people except the aunt went down to the basement, and the parrot showed them a
place that she had built in the wall where she kept all the extra money that
she had saved. It looked as if she had about eight or nine thousand dollars in
paper and silver money in a steel safe shaped like a half barrel. The people
left the money there and went back upstairs.
I am ready
to go," said the parrot, "Lord, have mercy on me. I have done no harm
to anyone but I have always been afraid to die. I can't get out," said the
ego of the woman in the parrot's body.
Then the Lay
Sister did something and the parrot's body fell over as if dead. "Come,
Polly," she said. "Get in your body," and then he slowly got in.
The parrot
kicked awhile and then he spoke. "What's the matter, Mary? Where's
mamma?" Everybody immediately noticed the change in the parrot's voice and
talk.
"Lady," said the girl, "let me see my mamma before you go away
with her. Then I will know that all you say is true."
In a little
while her mother was standing before them. She told the family all that had
happened to her when the undertaker was there and all that had taken place
during the days that followed. "I am not afraid to go with these
Angels," she said. "I hope you will all be good and do not let the
undertaker embalm anyone you know. I will be waiting for you when you
come." The materialized mother kissed them all and was soon gone.
The three
Helpers took the woman to the Borderland and left her there. The man there said
that she would have only a very short, stay in Purgatory and would then go on
to the First Heaven.
One night
while two Invisible Helpers were going over Africa they heard something
screaming like a human being. They went down and found that it was a monkey in
the coils of a snake. The Helpers made the snake let the monkey go, and it ran
limping up to the lady Helper and tried to climb up on her. She reached down
and picked the monkey up and healed it, and then it refused to leave her.
"What
is the matter with it?" she asked her companion.
"Nothing. It's just afraid," he replied.
"No.
There is something wrong," she said.
The man
Helper looked at the monkey carefully and said, "Oh, I see now," and
he carried it to a village, and called the natives to him.
They took
one look at the monkey and backed off. "He has a devil in him. Burn him.
He make trouble for tribe," said one of them.
The monkey
was obsessed by one of the native witch doctors and the spirit of the real
monkey was standing beside its body. The Helper asked the Group Spirit of the monkey
what to do to get him out. The Group Spirit told the Helper what weeds and
sticks to get for a fire. The Helper made a fire and smoked the obsessing ego
out of the monkey's body. When he held the monkey over the smoke the real
monkey squirmed and screamed. When the ego of the witch doctor came out, the
fire burned up his etheric, or vital body, and he went up into the air crying.
He had to go to the lower Desire World to get his punishment.
The Helpers
coaxed the real owner of the body of the monkey back into its body and healed
him and gave him to a native for a pet.
The Group
Spirit of the monkey said that the ego of the witch doctor was going to try to
obsess one of the Helpers and leave the monkey. Now, this evil ego will not be
able to harm man or beast as he cannot return to earth until he is reborn. By
that time he will be well purged of his evil desires.
One night
two Helpers were sent to answer a woman's prayers for help. Her mother was
obsessed and was accusing her daughter of trying to poison her. When the
Helpers reached the place, terror reigned, for the mother had a long knife and
was trying to kill her daughter. When the mother saw the lady Helper, she asked
her if she had come to help her daughter kill her, and then she started after
the lady Helper. This Helper forgot that she was out of her body and could not
be hurt and so she ran around the dining room table several times and then
disappeared.
The man
Helper took the long knife away from the obsessed woman and made her sit down.
She tried to bite him, and he crossed her and told the obsessing entity to
leave her. The entity left her body and tried to attack the Helper because he
drove it out. It could do nothing more, so it howled and disappeared.
The woman's
body collapsed and the Helper put it on the bed, and the ego of the mother went
back into her body again. The Helper told the daughter that her mother would be
all right in a few days except for weakness. He advised her to feed her well on
vegetables and fruits. "She will not know anything about what she has been
doing. She will love you and be a good mother to you," he told her.
The daughter
thanked the Helper for all that be had done for them. He then left to hunt his
partner, who had become frightened and left. He met her coming back to that
place.
Here is a
story of obsession that ended in tragedy. One December night two Helpers went
to see a girl who had killed her friend and then killed herself. They saw her
standing by her body and went to her. The girl was wondering what had happened
to her.
One Helper
touched her and she looked up. "Oh, what has happened?" she said. Am
I dead? I didn't kill myself."
"You
killed your friend, didn't you?" asked the man Helper.
"No, I
didn't, but that thing in my body did," she answered. "I tried to
stop, it but it kept on."
"How
long has this thing been bothering you?" he asked.
"A
little over two years," she replied.
"How
did it happen?" the Helper inquired.
The poor
girl then told her story. She said that she went out with this girl and her boy
friend and they had a few highballs and when she found herself she was in a
strange hotel and she did not know who had been with her. She had a strange
feeling throughout her body. She hurriedly dressed and went to school and after
school she went home. Then the thing pushed her out and kept her out the rest
of the night. The next morning it let her have her body back and she went to
school.
Things went
on that way until the girl friend was killed. She went to the girl's, home and
they went out, and then the entity pushed her out and then slipped up to her
friend and killed her. Then the entity would not leave her or take her body
away, and the police arrested her. The entity did the talking. He said that he
had wanted to kill someone for two years. The true meaning of this was that the
entity had wanted to kill the other girl for two years because, he could not
get her body.
After the
girl was in jail and the entity could do no more harm with the girl's body he
hung it and in so doing he killed himself. This entity did not know that if he
hung the body while he was in it he would lock himself in it and force him self
out by causing the death of the girl.
"Did
you experience anything when you died?" asked the Helper.
"Yes, I
choked to death and lost consciousness," she said.
"Then
something came to me and went into me and I have been here ever since."
Her vital body came back to her so she could see the panorama of her life.
"Did
the undertaker hurt you?" the Helper asked.
"Yes,
he put some hot stuff in me and it burnt me," she said.
"Then I
got cold and froze. I am not dead and I want to see what they are going to do
with me."
"They
are going to bury your body," the Helper told her.
"Please
tell my people to stop crying and worrying and that I did not kill myself and
that I am not dead," begged the poor girl.
This girl in
a former life had dabbled in esotericism and had deceived a lot of people and
caused them to become obsessed. This same entity or sin body was formed by her
evil thoughts and deeds and followed her until she died. When she was reborn it
was attracted to her and got her in this life and caused her death. Now through
her misdeeds she will have to wait until she would have died a natural death
and then go on with her evolution.
All the time
that the Helpers were talking to her she was complaining that she felt choked
and empty. There was nothing that the Helpers could do for her, as she wanted
to see her funeral, and so they left and continued their work.
Another time
two Helpers were sent to a hospital to help a woman who had been in a coma for
a week. It was said that she felt ill after she returned from a spiritualist
meeting, and went to bed and had not moved or spoken since. When the Helpers
reached the place the doctor was waiting for them. The nurse of the ward called
the lady Helper and she saw the woman first. Then she called her companion up
over the telephone and said that she believed that the woman was obsessed.
"Find
out," he said.
"No, I
don't understand well enough how to deal with obsession," she replied.
Later the
two Helpers went to the woman's ward and they had this patient moved to a
private room. The man Helper examined her and found an entity in her body. He
told his partner to open the window and get behind him. Then he crossed the
woman and told the entity to come out. It did and, it ran toward the Helper. He
then crossed it, and it howled and a black smoke came from it, and it floated
out the window and disappeared.
The Helper
coaxed the woman back into her body and she was extremely weak. The Helper told
the nurse to call the patient's doctor and he came. The Helper told him what to
do for his patient. "Have her watched and see that she is well cared
for," he said. "She will not be violent but she will need good
nursing and much care, as she is in a very weakened condition."
One night a
Helper was out on the street and he came up to where an automobile had struck
an electric light pole. The car was demolished and the two couples who were in
it were badly hurt. The people had been carried out and laid on the sidewalk,
where they were waiting for an ambulance.
The driver
was talking to a policeman who had asked how it happened. "I saw a cat
crossing the street and I swerved to avoid hitting it, and I couldn't
straighten the car, and I hit the post," he said.
Suddenly the
Helper saw an entity that looked like a huge rat about the size of a dog standing
in front of him.
"Hey,
what are you doing here?" asked the Helper in surprise.
The entity
grinned and showed his teeth and looked at the wreck. "I did that,"
he boasted.
"How
did you do that?" inquired the Helper.
"I was
the cat crossing the street," said the entity. "He saw me and swerved
to keep from hitting me and he swerved and hit the post, but he didn't hit it
hard enough."
"Why
did you do it?" asked the Helper.
"I have
been following that man for two lives and this is the first opportunity I have
had to kill him," said the wicked entity.
"I
didn't do a good job of it, but I will."
"Why
are you so anxious to kill him?" asked the Helper.
"Three
lives ago this man caused my master to be injured and later he died," said
the entity. "Before he died my owner made me swear that I would cause this
man to die, and I have been following him ever since."
"Well,
Buddy, your trail ends right here," said the Helper.
The entity
looked at the Helper and snarled, "I'll kill you," and he started
after the Helper.
The Helper
side-stepped him and crossed him, and he started to howl and went up In smoke.
Soon the
people assembled there began to sniff the air, and one man said that he smelled
brimstone. The driver attributed the odor to the acid in the battery in the
automobile which had been badly damaged during the accident. The entity was
forced to go to the Desire World to reap his just punishment.
Such an
elemental is an illustration of what evil men of the past can do to get their
revenge. Belonging to the black brotherhood, the master of this entity had him
work for him. These entities are glad to work for such people because they know
that some day they will be able to get control of their masters and cause them
to suffer.
Such
tragedies as these are common, but few people realize it. They are unconscious
of all this and of many more things which it would benefit them to know.
Here is a story
of a young emu that was obsessed by a bushman.
An emu is a
large ostrich-like bird that is found in Australia. One night some Helpers were
sent to Australia to see a young emu hatch out of an egg. When they reached the
nesting place they saw the mother emu looking at a large egg. Beside her was a
baby emu that probably had come out of the egg the day before. It was a light
gray chick with brown stripes on its back. The lady Helper longed to take it up
in her hands.
It seemed as
if the chick in the egg was trying to get out but couldn't break the shell. The
mother bird knew that her one chick was dried off and strong enough to leave
the nest and that it was time for the other one to come out, so she helped it
out in a hurry. The impatient mother emu broke the shell with her bill. She
took hold of it and violently tossed it up and then down to the earth. This
broke the shell all up, and a young bird unrolled itself and straightened out.
The Helpers observed it carefully and saw that this fuzzy child was different
from the other one.
One Helper
saw that an ego had forced his way into the egg and had driven the rightful
owner out. We call such a condition obsession. The ego in this young emu's body
was the ego of a medicine man of the Australian bushmen, who are said to be the
most retarded of any of the people on earth.
This man
wanted to come back, so he forced the young bird out and came out himself. This
ego was a cruel man who was afraid to die and meet his punishment, but he will
later on when the bird dies. The chick had the head of a human being and the
body and wings of an emu. He will not be able to talk.
The
astonished Helpers were told that this strange creature will be protected and
will have a very hard life and will be so badly treated that this ego will
never obsess anything again. It is going to be captured by the natives and kept
as a curiosity.
One night
while two Helpers were going along they saw a half-dressed girl running through
some bushes. They went down and stopped her, They saw at once that she was
insane. They asked her where she was going and she said that she was going to
find her lover who had gone away.
The Helpers
carried her out of the woods and to the town near by. There they met some
people who knew her and who directed the Helpers to her home. They took the
girl there and found the mother at home. She said that her daughter worked in
an office and was in love with one of the men in the company. The man had gone
on a trip without telling her anything about it. Soon after this the girl began
to attend a spiritualist meeting. Then she bought a glass nail, a stand for it,
a red velvet cloth, and some small candles. After that her life centered around
her work, the spiritualist, and the ball.
Then one night
the girl screamed and said that something gave way in her head. The mother said
that she begged her daughter to give up looking at the ball, but she would not
and said, "No." At about two o'clock in the morning the girl went to
her mother's room.
"I did
wrong, mother," she said, "and I believe I am losing my mind."
"What
did you do?" asked her mother.
"The
woman who had been teaching me told me that she would teach me how to get
psychic sight so that I can find my friend and see what he is doing," the
girl said. "I gave her two hundred and fifty dollars, and I bought the
ball, the stand, the cloth, and the candles from her for seventy-five dollars.
The girl
screamed in terror. "Mother! Look at that hideous thing! It is a man. No,
it's a snake. No, it is a vicious cat, but oh, so large. Help me, Mother. Don't
let those things get me."
The mother
then said that she called a doctor and he said that her daughter was suffering from
hallucinations and asked what she had been drinking or smoking. The mother told
the doctor that the girl had not been drinking or smoking anything but that she
had been looking into a glass ball for hours at a time and sometimes all night
long.
The doctor
gave her some medicine to keep her quiet but it lasted only a little while.
Then the mother called another doctor, and as soon as he saw her he said that
the girl had gone insane from studying and that she should be put in an
institution for the insane. The mother said that she could not bear to do that,
so she had bars put on the window on the inside and kept her daughter there for
six months.
Then one
night the girl broke out and the people of the town went out looking for her.
The mother said that she had prayed almost continually that her daughter might
get well.
The Helper,
put the poor girl in her room and closed the door. A few moments later they
heard someone lift the door and fall to the floor. They opened the door, and
there lay the insane girl unconscious. Her ego stood beside her body and the
Helpers talked to her. The girl told them that her lover was an official of the
company and that he had left her for nothing and that she wanted to find him. A
girl friend had told her about the spiritualist and she went to see her.
"I am sorry now, but I want my lover," she said.
One of the
Helpers called a high Lay Sister and asked her to heal the girl. She came and
looked at the girl.
"The
girl has learned her lesson, but she will be sick for many days," she
said. She did something to the girl's head and the girl re-entered her body and
talked in a sane manner.
"Thank
God," she said. "Those things are gone. I will never do that again.
Tell others to let spiritualists alone."
The Helpers
then told the girl and her mother about their teachings. The mother said that
she would like to learn those things. Then the Lay Sister took the girl's hand,
and thoughts shot out from her head so fast that the Helpers could hardly see
them. The mother could not see the Lay Sister's thoughts and she thought that
she was saying a silent prayer for the girl.
The Lay
Sister told the other Helpers that the girl had earned the man's love and that
she was calling him. "He will come back to her, as he had no cause to
treat her that way," she said.
By this time
the girl was sound asleep, and sleep was what she needed most since she had
been restored to a normal condition. The Lay Sister told the girl's mother to
give her vegetables and fruit to eat but no meat. She told her that she did not
need to send for a doctor.
"Your
daughter will be very sick but she will get well," the Lay Sister said.
"The spiritualist will give her money back to her and leave town."
One Helper
asked the Lay Sister if the girl would ever have recovered in this life without
spiritual healing.
"No," she answered, "and she would have been insane a long time
in the Desire World after death."
It is really
wonderful to be servants and friends of the Lay Brothers and Lay Sisters, who
can do so much to help humanity. Invisible Helpers love to go out with them and
watch them at work and assist them all they can in their useful work.
Two
Invisible Helpers were sent very hurriedly to a young lady somewhere in the
United States who had been practicing some Eastern Philosophy breathing
exercises. She had been accustomed to spending several hours in the bathtub in
the morning.
The girl
said that she had been told that when she reached a certain stage that she
could slip out of her body and soar into the realms beyond, and she had
proceeded to follow the instructions given her and was now out of her body and
unable to stay in it.
When the
Helpers went to the house in answer to the mother's earnest prayers they found
her trying to coax her daughter out of the bathtub.
"I do
get out, but my body does not follow me," said the girl. "When you
tell me to get out I do, but I can't talk to you and make you hear me when I am
out. When I get back into my body I can talk to you but I can't lift my body
out. "That is why I called for you to come and help me."
The girl's
mother became frantic with fear. The Helpers asked the girl how long she had
been practicing these exercises.
"I have
not been at it long, but I have been very persistent," she said.
Before the
Helpers gave her any assistance, they told her of the danger of making herself
so negative that she could slip out of her body in the bathtub and of the
dangers of being obsessed by unseen entities. The girl became very much
frightened and promised the Helpers that if they would help her to get back to
her body again she would never have anything more to do with any kind of
breathing exercises. From all indications, this girl had been thoroughly cured
of taking up any exercise from an unscrupulous person calling himself a
teacher, for she had really found out that when a pupil is ready, a teacher is
near, or that when a sincere person prays from his heart, assistance is given,
and that no price is asked for this help.
The girl had
become very negative and she had lowered her resistance and vitality to the
point where the locks in her body had become so weakened that she found herself
out of her body and could not manage it. The Helpers locked, her into her body
and warned her thoroughly to be careful in the future. They also told her of
some safe Esoteric teachings.
One night
some Helpers were sent to the northwestern part of the United States to a man's
home. There they found a man who had been insane for five years. He had a break
between his vital body and his dense body. When he was in his body and awake he
was violent at times. This was because he could not help himself and he could
not express himself. When he was out of his body he was perfectly sane.
When the
Helpers arrived at his home he was asleep. They talked to his mother and
sister. They kept him tied in bed in a back room and had many doctors study his
case, but they were helpless. The family had resorted to prayer and by means of
their prayers the man was cured, as you shall hear very soon.
The man had
been reading Esoteric books which said that he could get out of his body and go
to different places if he followed certain directions. He tried it for a long
time and he finally forced himself out. He was out five days. The doctors said
he was in a trance and would come back but they could not say when.
When the man
did get back into his body, he was insane. He had not spoken rationally for
five years. The Helpers asked to see the man, and the mother took them into his
his room. They saw the ego standing beside his bed on the bed. He had a
frightened look on his face. One Helper wanted to talk to the poor man, so he
asked his mother to step out of the room for a few minutes. She was only too
glad to do this, for she said she felt very apprehensive and nervous in his
room.
"When
I'm cleaning him up or feeding him I feel as if someone would like to get hold
of me," she explained.
When the
mother was gone the man Helper spoke to the poor man and he turned around and
looked at the strangers. "For God's sake, help me," he said.
"These things I see have tormented me nearly to death."
"How
did you get in this condition?" asked the Helper.
The man said
that he had purchased a set of books because he heard that by studying them, he
would be able to leave his body and go to different places when he wished. He
followed the directions for a long time and did breathing exercises regularly.
Finally he forced himself out of his body. Then he saw a million things rushing
toward him. They ranged from an inch high to creatures as large as a box car.
He saw all kinds of snakes, bugs, and so forth. He had a hard time getting back
into his body again and when he did, he could not use it or express himself.
This state
of things made him angry and then he did not know what he did. "Then I got
back into my body," he said. "I found that I was in a hospital. Later
I was brought home, and I have been here ever since."
The Helpers
talked to the man about false teachings and what happens when a person tries to
force himself into the inner worlds when he has not been taught how to protect
himself. The man looked intently at the lady Helper. "Lady, are you an
Angel?" he asked. "If you are please, God that I will be a good man
and will never do this, if He will make me well and normal again."
Suddenly he
had a look of terror on his face. "Oh, look Angel lady!" he shouted.
"Make it go away. Oh, Lord! I can't stand this much longer. Help me. Go
away! Go away! Help!"
The man who
was outside his body, ran toward the Helper and she went to the other Helper,
for she was what the man saw. They saw an entity that looked like a snake with
a body about eighteen inches around from this body, exceeded four heads with
long necks.
"Make
it go away," the lady Helper said to her companion.
"You do
it," he said to her.
"Be
gone," she said to the fierce entity.
It opened
all four of its mouths and made for her and she got behind the braver Helper,
and the man collapsed. The man Helper stepped toward this evil entity and it
backed up. He told it to go and it disappeared. Then another entity came that
was more hideous than the first one and the Helper sent it away at once. Then a
man entity came and spoke to the Helper.
"You
cannot send me away," he said. "I can take both of you and will if
you do not go away."
The man
Helper turned to his partner. "Buddy, are you with me?" he asked.
"Yes, I
am here," she answered.
The Helper
then told the man entity to go, in Christ's name and never return. He howled
and left and had to go to the Desire World, where he could do no more harm. The
Helper asked someone at a distance by means of thought if he could help the man
and he was given permission to do all he could for him. He was told to help the
man to get into his body feet first and to have him do it very slowly.
The man
Helper got the man up from the floor and calmed him and told him to get into
his body. He started in head first and the Helper stopped him. "No, do not
get in the way," he said.
"That
is the way I have been getting in and then I turn around, but it hurts
so," said the poor man.
The man then
slid into his body feet first as he had been told. He also went very slowly and
got in all right. The Helper locked him into his body and then woke him up and
he was safe. The Helper untied him but he was too weak to get up. He seemed to
be merely skin and bones and he had many bed sores from lying tied in bed so
long. The Helpers took him up and then called his mother and asked her to get
clean linen for his bed and clean clothing to put on him. They changed his bed
and healed his sores and made him comfortable.
When the
man's mother saw him up she was much surprised. "Oh, Lady! He will hurt
us," she said.
"No,
Mother. I am all right now," he said in a soft, clear voice. "These
Angels helped me and healed the sores. Mother, praise God from whom all
blessings flow."
His mother
kneeled at the lady Helper's feet. "Angel, I thank thee and God," she
said.
After the
Helpers had put the man in his clean bed they sat down and told the family
about their work and how anyone can do it. They explained how a person must
live to be an Invisible Helper and go out and help the sick.
The man who
had been cured told them that he wanted to be a Helper.
"I want
to do that kind of work, too," said the mother.
The Helpers
left them very happy and went on with their work. Now we can rest assured that
if this man takes up a safe Esoteric teaching he will be a faithful student. He
will not be as weakhearted about it as many ordinary students are today. He
knows that there are Invisible Helpers and he knows that prayers are answered
when they come from a sincere heart. He had a severe lesson but all of us learn
more by our misfortunes than we do by the pleasant happenings of our lives.
One night
two Helpers were sent to help a family in one of the western states, and they
found two women there who were obsessed. The grandfather had just died and the
grandmother was missing, and the mother was acting in a very strange manner.
The members of the family were distracted and did not know what to do.
The Helpers
found out that the grandmother was obsessed and had been for five years off and
on. When she was obsessed she would act like a bear or some large animal and
was not able to talk or move normally. While the thing was obsessing her she
would crawl somewhere and hide. At times she would be obsessed for five or six
days and went without food and water. This had worried her husband to death.
The
grandmother was missing at this time and the lady Helper said that she would
try to find her. She looked around and found her under a bed in the attic. She
was clad in her night dress. She had her knees drawn in and she was almost
dead, for she had been underneath the bed for fifteen days. The man Helper saw
at once what the matter was and he soon rid her of the entity that had obsessed
her, but it was too late to save her life. The poor woman asked for water and
then died of starvation and exposure for it was winter.
Then a young
woman who was a grandchild of the dead woman told the Helpers that her mother
acted the same way, and she took the Helpers to her mother's room. The Helpers looked
at the woman on the bed.
"Please
help me," she, said. "I cannot stand this much longer."
The man
Helper crossed her and ordered the entity to leave, and he did, and the Helper
soon had her all right and she was very grateful. The members of the family
were very happy over her recovery, for they had feared that she would not live
very long.
Most of us
little realize the dangers of obsession and the sufferings of the egos who have
to go through such harrowing experiences and of their families who live lives
of fear, never knowing what will happen next to frighten them or cause them
trouble.
Here is the
story of how a vampire was destroyed. Late one night two Invisible Helpers were
riding on a street car in an eastern city. There was a man sitting on a seat
near them. A vampire sneaked into the car and sat down beside the man and put
her arms around him. She looked like a dark skinned woman but she didn't have a
physical body.
The man
began to pray, for he was afraid that he was going to die. He could feel
himself getting weaker and weaker. The Helpers could see the desire body of
this shell absorbing the man's vitality from his vital body.
One of the
Helpers touched the vampire on the back and spoke to her. "Outside,"
he said. She made several mean-looking faces at him and obeyed the command.
Then the man
Helper went back to the rear platform and materialized and spoke to the
conductor. "One of the men on the car is sick," he said, "and
should be taken care of."
The conductor
walked up and looked at him. "Yes, he does look sick. I'lI take care of
him," he said.
The two
Helpers then left the car and followed that vampire to one of the West Indies
Islands, where they saw it go to a graveyard and enter a human corpse that was
full of fresh blood.
A vampire is
a wicked entity that has the power to revivify the coagulated blood of a person
provided it can enter the body right after death.
One Helper
asked his companion if she was afraid to go down into the hole and drive out
the vampire and destroy the body.
"No,
let's go," she answered, and then they went down and ran the vampire out
of the body. They found that the vampire had eaten out the body of the person
and left the bones and skin or shell intact. She had deposited blood from the
substance of living people and used this place for a home.
After the
vampire had been driven out, the Helpers materialized hands and broke open the
skin, and the blood flowed out into the earth. This caused the vampire to
slowly die. This vampire had been a very wicked human being who did not wish to
die. At her death she had taken possession of this dead body.
A vampire
can keep himself or herself out of the Desire World for hundreds of years by
absorbing the vitality from a living human being as the Helpers saw this one
do. People who sit beside a vampire soon begin to feel exhausted.
Another
night these Helpers were going over a town in a western state and they saw a
little girl fighting a vampire. It had a body like a human being and hands like
long claws, a head like a long-headed wolf, and extra long claw-like feet. This
awful looking thing was reaching after the child and she was fighting it with a
long stick.
"You go
and get the child's parents and bring a long knife," said the man Helper
to his companion, "and in the meantime I will watch the girl."
When the
mother came she started screaming, for she was afraid to go to the girl. The
father was too terrified to help her. The lady Helper told the parents to go
with, her so they could see what their daughter was doing.
The vampire
turned and looked at the people and the Helper. He let out a diabolical laugh
and spoke in a cracked voice. "She had me for a servant four thousand
years ago when she lived in Egypt and I had her body for three thousand years.
Now I will get it again. She has been playing with me, for three years, and now
she is a woman and I will take her."
One Helper
asked the girl's mother how old her daughter was and she said the child was thirteen
years old. Then the Helpers knew that the girl's desire body was grown.
The man
Helper called a Lay Sister by means of thought and asked her if he could help
this girl and she said that he might. The frightened mother began to call on
God to help her child.
"Give
me the knife," said the man Helper.
"Please
be careful," the other Helper answered as she handed him the knife that
she had brought. "I will go with you, if you want me to."
"No,
Buddy. Let it get only one of us and not both," he said.
The Helper
went to the vampire and it jumped at him and the other Helper screamed. The man
Helper stepped aside and let the vampire come down on the knife, and what
appeared to be her dense body was split open. The vampire howled and started
for the woods, and the Helpers followed it. They went into a cave, or hole,
under a large tree covered by grass and weeds.
There they
found a very dark purple body of woman who had been dead for sometime. The man
Helper cut it open and the vampire howled and moaned and disappeared and went
to the Desire World to receive its long delayed punishment.
The Helper
looked around to see if he could see any more bodies. He found a man's body and
he cut it up, and in came a very mean and ferocious vampire. The Helpers made
short work of it.
After that
the Helpers went to when the girl and her parents were waiting for their
return. One Helper asked them how she met the thing.
"One
day while I was hunting violets," she said, "I ran across it and I thought
that it was an old woman. She told me lots of stories and told me not to tell
my parents. One day when I was not feeling well it grabbed me and hugged me.
When it let me go I was so limp and weak that I could hardly get home. (The
vampire had sapped her vitality by absorbing some of her vital body.) Today I
met it again in the woods and it wanted to hug me, but I fought it off until
you came and helped me."
The Helpers
were shown that after the vampire had ousted this ego, who had been a man in a former
life, it took her vehicles, meaning her vital body, her desire body, and her
mental body, and held them for nearly three lives and then gave them up, and
she went to Purgatory and was punished for all the wrong she had done. She then
came to rebirth in a family in the United States. The girl was in poor health
and this experience cured her of her desire to meet that vampire or any other.
The parents asked the Helpers who they were and they told them of their work
and then went away.
Esoteric students
should learn all they can about obsession in order that they may be more useful
in helping others, and so they can avoid all harmful and negative practices
that might cause an entity to try to obsess them.
If we are
doing what is right and living good useful lives we do not need to have any
fear of evil entitles, for they will not be able to harm us in any way. We
should try to think constructively and avoid harboring any thoughts of hate or
revenge toward anyone.
A student
saw a vampire in her room one time when she was sick. She wondered if vampires
went around sick rooms, and watched to see what the outcome would be.
"It
wasn't as large as the one I have a picture of in a book," she said,
"but it was very distinct. Its body was tilted, with the front part lower
than the rest. It had a small round head, dark eyes, dark, hair, and very
prominent wings. The wings were not web-like but more like a butterfly's wings
with criss-cross lines on a gauze-like substance. It reminded me of one of those
airplanes that look like birds. It scrutinized me closely and made a bee line
for my face and came quite close. I thought it was very nervy.
"I
thought to myself, `I'll fix you,' and I switched on the floor lamp. The
creature was between the lamp and me. I put a pair of scissors on the table and
I decided to clip its wings if it came again, but I never saw it again."
The student
found out later that the vampire came in with a friend of hers who is very
negative. Probably the vampire expected to find an opportunity to obsess this
friend.
Here is how
a girl was saved from death by an insane aunt. Some Helpers were sent to a
house to save a girl who had gone to visit her aunt and uncle with her twin
brother. The aunt was a woman who tried to do everything that she thought the
modern people were doing. She had even begun to smoke marijuana cigarettes, and
these terrible cigarettes caused her to go insane. Then she took a dislike to
her niece because she was better looking than she was. She planned to slip into
the girl's room and kill her by sucking her breath.
The woman
must have been obsessed by a very wicked entity, for she went into the room
where the girl was sleeping and crept up to her bed and got on the girl's body
and held her down and began to suck her breath to kill her. The Helpers were
sent to save her. They rushed to the place and saw what was happening. For
awhile the girl was unable to breathe, and she struggled desperately to free
herself, but she was no match for the insane woman.
The Helpers
could not pull the woman free from the terrified girl without hurting her so
the man Helper willed that the woman become motionless and then he suspended
gravity and she floated up with her hands and feet sticking out from her body.
One Helper
called the woman's husband and told him what had happened. The husband said
that he was worried and feared that something would happen. The Helper told
this man that it would be best to put his wife in a hospital because she would
never get well.
The man
carried his insane wife down a back stairway and the Helpers saw her waving her
arms and moving her legs wildly. One of the Helpers also noticed her moving
shadow on the wall as they waited. The man locked his wife up in a closet and
sent for a doctor.
The
frightened girl wanted to leave there at once and go home. Her twin brother
came rushing out of his room to see what had caused the trouble. "I
dreamed that my aunt was killing my sister and that I was powerless to help
her," he said. "When I was awakened I was confused and could not
understand what was the matter. What was happening to sister was happening to
me and yet I saw no one."
One of the
Helpers told the young man that the strong bond of love and affinity between
them had caused him to get her feelings by reflex action. The girl was the
stronger ego of the two and she had a very good influence over her brother.
The brother
soon had their clothes packed up and they got ready to leave. The uncle was
much upset over what happened and wanted them to get out of any danger that
might befall them in his house. The young people left and the Helpers went on
with their work.
The lady
Helper also took on the girl's strong feeling of terror and remembered the
experience very plainly when she awoke the next morning. If cigarette smokers
only realized their danger they would struggle with all their might to overcome
this habit of smoking, for they are always in danger of being handed a drugged
cigarette which may lead to the smoking of cigarettes containing marijuana,
which causes the users to commit many crimes that lead to imprisonment and
death.
Here is how
a vampire was destroyed in the West Indies. Somewhere two Helpers were sent to
this place to save an African girl. A tom tom ceremony was being held and some
men were going to kill a girl to please a vampire. She was very frightened and
did not want to die. The Helpers saw the vampire, which was nearby. This
hideous thing was standing beside the girl waiting for the voodoo doctor to cut
the vein in her neck so he could suck the blood as it came out of her body.
There was
but one thing to do and the man Helper did it. He took the knife from the
native doctor and cut the vampire half in two. The Helper did this so quickly
that no one knew what had happened.
Then the
Helper cut the girl free and gathered up what clothes he saw for her and soon
left the place and then he left the island. The islands were so far apart that
the Helpers did not want to carry the frightened girl to the next island, but
they had to do it to save her life. The Helpers took her to another island and
told her not to go back as the natives would surely kill her if they found her.
She said she would stay away from that place.
One night
when some Helpers were window shopping in one the large cities of Europe they
saw a woman drop her Christmas bundles and begin to ask people nearby to help
her for she said that something had her. Some of the people said that she must
be a drug addict, while others said, "She is suffering from
hallucination."
Someone
called a doctor and he came and said that she was all right but was suffering
from some kind of mental strain. One Helper asked the other one to do what he
could for her, and he pushed his way up to her.
"Please
help me," she said.
"I will
do what I can," he told her.
The Helper
told the doctor and a policeman to hold the woman tightly because she would act
as if she had a fit. Then, the Helper told the entity that had obsessed her to
come out of the woman. The entity stuck his head up and began talking.
"Ten
centuries ago I was her servant and I have followed her ten lives to get my
pay. I had her for one life after she died during Atlantean times."
The Helper
saw in a flash that she had lived a good, clean religious life for nine lives
and had atoned for her misdeeds. She had such a strong influence over the
entity that it followed her life after life. She was conscious of something
following her, and just a thin veil separated her from it. All her life she had
had that fear that something wanted to hurt her. All this was shown to the
Helper in a flash and then he told the entity to come out of her body.
The entity
refused and the Helper crossed it and it jumped out and went up in a blue flame
with a howl, and the woman began to act as if she had a fit. The air soon
smelled as if someone was burning brimstone, or sulphur. Some of the women
nearby fainted and some of the people hurried away from the smell.
"Something is wrong with her," said the policeman.
"I do
not know what it is," remarked the doctor.
After the
woman had quieted down, the Helper spoke to her. "My Friend, go in peace.
You will never be bothered any more. Live a good clean life and one day you will
find the path which will lead you to the Temple. You refused to take it ten
centuries ago. You have paid for your sins now and will be given another
opportunity to go forward."
"Oh, I
thank you!" she said. "I will go to mother and tell her all that has
happened." She seemed to be about twenty-five years old and was unmarried.
The policeman and the doctor wanted to know who the Helpers were.
"We,
are friends of mankind," they said and disappeared and went on with their
work.
The insane
hospitals are filled with patients, a large proportion of whom are obsessed.
Some of these people can be cured, and are cured off and on by spiritual
healing. Many persons cannot be cured and must go on living as they are until
death frees them temporarily.
Since
mediumship is dangerous, we should have nothing to do with it in any way. We
should avoid alcohol and all intoxicating drinks, for this tends to make people
more negative and attracts elementals to the users. People with delirium
tremens really see what they describe in their ravings. We should live good
lives and not harm our fellow men or our younger brothers, the animals, and
then we can avoid being obsessed.
Better still
we can become servants of the Elder Brothers, and if we are faithful we will be
allowed to help others who have been careless in the past. We may be allowed to
heal people who have become victims of obsessing entities. Thus we will advance
ourselves on the path that leads to God our Divine Father.
