💥 THE ANGELS AND THE STARS'S CONSCIOUSNESS

FROSTY LION - This is a cosmic formation identified as IRAS 09371+1212 or the Icy Nebula of Leo, in an image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Rich in ice, it is located in the constellation Leo.

In astrophysical terms, a nebula is a protoplanetary cloud of dust and gas formed from matter expelled by a central star, in this case, a star similar to the Sun of the solar system to which planet Earth belongs.

The term protoplanetary means that this cloud of cosmic dust, over an eternity of rotating motion, being constituted by particles subjected to a gravitational attraction force, may in the future form a cohesive body, a spheroid, a planet.

ENTITY

However, what humans see as a cloud of dust could be, in another conception, an entity of subtle, ethereal matter.

A primordial cosmic spirit inhabiting and animating an astral body that will one day become a body of dense matter, which will be humanly identified as a planet and understood, according to academic science, as a lifeless object, a globe of raw matter.

The idea that celestial bodies are sentient beings (still) doesn't make sense to academic science. However, the oldest religious traditions and occult sciences seriously consider this possibility.

For an orthodox scientist, the assertion that the Sun, for example, has self-awareness and a will of its own is a primitive and animistic thought, long since superseded by advances in astrophysical knowledge.

However, the poetic intuition of the real existence of a Cosmic Consciousness persists, resisting the millennia. 

More recently, this conception has occupied researchers from different areas, especially in light of the discoveries of quantum physics, the observation of the enigmatic behavior of particles, and the spectral properties of subatomic matter.

For decades, astrophysicists have conjured up so-called dark matter to explain the inexplicable. But dark matter itself remains undefined and undetectable, merely presumed, like a science fiction entity.

THEORIES

According to Dr. Gregory Matloff (pictured above), a physicist at New York City College of Technology, the possibility of stellar consciousness could be the answer to the mystery of the harmony of the spheres, which revolve around the center of a galaxy – such as the Milky Way – at a speed greater than would be expected considering calculations that include only the visible matter of the Universe.

Matloff theorizes about the possibility that celestial bodies maintain their positions and trajectories through voluntary action exerted through psychokinesis. In this case, the mind of a star – or any other celestial body – could act directly on the physical properties of that star.

For Matloff, it is necessary to consider as possible that consciousness, as well as gravity, is an essential element of the structure of the Universe. In fact, despite appearances, very little is known about the true nature of what is called gravitational force.

Scientists can measure it, they can calculate gravitational interactions in terms of attraction and repulsion between the masses of astronomical entities, such as planets, stars, comets, but they do not know what this force that governs the physical relationships of distances and rotations between celestial bodies really is. The force of gravity is a scientific mystery.

One possible explanation for anomalous stellar motion is psychokinesis.

The hypothesis presented here is that the "spirit" of a conscious and/or sensitive star can act directly on the physical properties (in this case, the speed of the galaxy) of the (Being that is) the star.

Although psychokinesis is not part of the orthodox body of doctrine in physics or psychology, serious theoretical studies indicate that it is possible to consider (the interference of psychokinesis) in currently accepted theories (and experiments) of science.

Consciousness or mind [or even thought] can directly influence the properties of a physical system using the energy present in quantum fluctuations. (This means that thinking emits energy in the form of particles).

In the context of Biology, the idea of ​​an organic consciousness is currently supported by theories that admit the existence of a universal field of consciousness interacting with the electrical structures of the nervous system of living beings from all Kingdoms of Earthly Nature.

In animals, from humans and higher mammals in general, to birds, fish, bacteria, etc., the neuronal structure, from the most evolved brain to the most elementary nuclei, analyzed by Evan Walker Harris (American physicist, 1936-2006), has shown activities (events) at the quantum level that contribute to the reality of consciousness.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 

THE SELF & THE PERSONALITY

To admit the existence of a Cosmic Consciousness, or even consciousness in different beings and life forms, even those that appear unconscious or brute (dead), implies considering that the Self is not synonymous with a personality.

Self-identification with a Personality is fleeting, it is a conditioning; the conscious feeling of the Self would then be something permanent in the idea of ​​Eternity. Personality is what Spiritists and Theosophists call what – here we define as – the ephemeral perception of a single life of an incarnated spirit.

That is, the consciousness that man has of being someone with a certain history: name, parentage, nationality, a specific culture that are only references in the present life; but are not pertinent to the existence of that spirit that exists far beyond a single life.

The feeling of "I" that people identify with the awareness of an identity, the self, the "knowledge of oneself," would then, in fact, be a phenomenon superior to Personality.

The Personality of a human life loses its meaning with the death of the physical body. The I remain for an existence that goes far beyond and encompasses many other life experiences.

Consciousness is a fundamental property present in the entire Universe. Personality is one form of self-perception. That is, self-perception is not necessarily dependent on a Personality.

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

In *The Physics of Angels*, the English biologist Rupert Sheldrake — one of the pioneers in new paradigms (models) of science — and the theologian Matthew Fox (former Catholic Dominican and currently a priest of the Episcopal Church) write:

Our approach to a new scientific (non-mechanical) paradigm consists of the idea of ​​the Universe as a living organism.

The Big Bang describes the origin of the Universe as a [superdense] and undifferentiated unit. [From a certain point – which is the Fiat Lux of the Judeo-Christian Bible]... the Universe evolves, differentiating itself into infinite forms and structures. This looks much more like an organism than a machine.

The old idea of ​​Earth as a dead [or inanimate] celestial body has long since shared space with the Gaia theory, the idea of ​​Earth as a living being that is part of a creatively evolving Universe...

[Considering this hypothesis, it is then necessary to investigate]... If the Universe is alive, if solar systems, galaxies, and planets are living beings, are they also conscious? Or are they alive but not conscious [of themselves], like a bacterium, which is a living being but [we assume] is not conscious of itself?... Are human beings the most conscious beings that...

Orthodox science says "yes". But I find this hypothesis very improbable. If we admit the idea of ​​different forms of consciousness, if a galaxy has life and consciousness [in itself], then this consciousness could be much greater or superior to human consciousness; greater in extent of knowledge, greater in [amount of] energy available [to act]...

THE MYTHOLOGICAL TRUTH

Most ancient religions conceive of Nature as an intelligent being, the planets as intelligent creatures, endowed with pulsation, with which it is possible to establish communication.

Nature is seen as a Great Mother who provides both material and spiritual nourishment, and souls [spirits] would then be like branches of an invisible tree whose root is at the center of all things.

Gnostic philosophy conceives of this planet as a manifestation of a goddess: Sophia or Gaia Sophia; and the Solar System as the "incarnation"—or embodiment—of tutelary beings called Archons. 

In this way, the planets are Archons. The stars too. In other words, the stars would be bodies animated by Spirits.

OCCULT KNOWLEDGE

Even older traditions, compiled in sacred Indian and Chinese scriptures, gathered in the so-called Secret Doctrine, present a complex Cosmogony of Esoteric Buddhism (Secret Buddhism, for Initiates) in which Consciousness is at the beginning of All Things and is confused with the very concept of God.

This Secret Doctrine, introduced to the West by the precursor of Theosophy, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, uses Sanskrit terms to speak of the Entities that constitute the Universe.

However, the introductory text of the Cosmogony is very similar to the first sentences of Genesis in the Judeo-Christian Bible and the mythical cosmogonies of cultures around the world. Surely, this similarity is no mere coincidence:

The Eternal Father, enveloped in His Ever-Invisible Garments, had once more fallen asleep for Seven Eternities.

Time did not exist...

The Universal Mind did not exist,

because there was no Ah-hi to contain it...

Only Darkness filled the Limitless Whole,

because Father, Mother, and Son

were again One

and the Son had not yet awakened...

(BLAVATSKY, 2006 - p. 94)

In the Secret Doctrine, Mind means the...totality of states of consciousness encompassed under the names of Thought, Will, and Feeling...

The Ah-hi (or Dhyân-Chohans) are the Legions of spiritual beings — the Angelic Legions of Christianity, the Elohim and the Messengers of the Jews — constitute the vehicle for the manifestation of Divine Thought and Will... They are Intelligent Forces... But they are not "personifications" of the Forces of Nature. (BLAVATSKY, 2006 - p. 102)

Regarding Stars, Planets, and other Celestial bodies being living and conscious creatures,...

Esoteric philosophy teaches that everything that lives is conscious... Life is considered the only form of existence... things endowed with movement are living things, whether atoms or planets. (Ibid. - p. 111) ...The Nous that makes matter move is... immanent in all atoms, manifested in man, latent in stone... (Ibid. - p. 113)

DEFINITIONS IN THE THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY

Ah-hi - (senzar, an archaic language predating Sanskrit). In Sanskrit, Ahi. Serpents, Dyhan-choanes, wise serpents or dragons of wisdom.

Dhyân-Chohans – Literally, "The Lords of Light" [which Goddard, below, calls Lords of the Flame]. Devas or higher gods, corresponding to the Archangels of the Catholic Christian religion. Divine intelligences in charge of the superintendence of the Cosmos. Children of Wisdom, Planetary Spirits.

The Archons of the Gnostics were conceived from this idea, as were the recently rediscovered Lords of the Flame, mentioned by contemporary esotericists, such as in the introduction to the book *Sacred Magic of Angels*, by David Goddard, who has called himself a Spiritual Master for over 20 years:

Before all beginnings there was the One... Alone in inexpressible bliss, the One remained... In the secret core of the designs of His being, He wished to create... to pour forth [manifest] the fullness of His infinite life... For there was nothing except the One, His creation could only happen within Himself...

Desiring to promote Creation, He also became the primal sacrifice; and thus the One became many. Seven great spirits projected themselves from the heart [center] of the Eternal: they were the Elohim, the Seven Spirits... executors of the Creative Will... [the archangels] Uriel, Tzadkiel, Raphael, Haniel, Michael, and Gabriel... known in ancient texts as "Lords of the Flame." (p. 16)

The myriads of stars are the first incarnation of divine light, but they are also bodies of cosmic archangels. The Sun... is the physical body of a great archangel, one of the Lords of the Flame.

This particular type of angelic being is called a "Stellar Logos." The stars are the physical bodies, and their auras cover the entire area of ​​the solar systems that surround them. The planets... [are] children of the Sun.

(GODDARD, 1996 - p. 19)

Goddard uses terms from Western doctrinal knowledge, employing words and names taken from the Judeo-Christian Bible, such as Elohim, a Hebrew word meaning Gods; and the Lords of the Flame are identified with the well-known names attributed to the biblical Archangels, of the first class of the Angelic Hierarchy.

THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE STARS IN THE WESTERN OCCULT TRADITION

Western occultists, from the beginning of the Middle Ages to the present day, including the Masters of the 19th century (1800s) and the early 20th century, adopted these same concepts, making use, like the Gnostics, of a nomenclature of Greco-Roman origin – albeit already syncretized with many Judeo-Christian concepts, such as the doctrine of Angels, for example.

This Greco-Roman European occult cosmogony, in turn, derived from the priestly practices of even older peoples who represent the root of Western culture: Mesopotamians (Chaldeans and Sumerians, for example) and Egyptians. Thus, according to this orientation, Eliphas Levi writes in Grande Arcano:

Do the stars have a soul? And does the Earth we inhabit have a consciousness and a thought of its own? We do not know; However, we cannot say that those who wish to suppose otherwise are mistaken... According to the ancient hierophants, matter is nothing more than the substratum of created spirits. God did not create it immediately [referring to dense matter].

From God emanate the powers [Intelligent Forces, as mentioned in the Secret Doctrine], the Elohim, which constitute heaven [in the sense of the Cosmos, the entire Universe and all the Universes within the Universe] and the earth... These Elohim or these powers would be the great souls of the worlds...

Furthermore, according to Western occult astrophysics, E. Levi explains that these colossal Forces [or spirits] are... the Egregors of the Book of Enoch [biblical patriarch and prophet].

The "worlds" are all the celestial bodies and the "harmony of the spheres"—in truth, is a conflict between the spheres, between All Created Things. The Shakespearean conflict of Being or not being.

Two tendencies: To be a differentiated living creature in its own space of existence, or to cease to be, to return to the One, self-destructing through the aggregation of the differentiated into the Undifferentiated, into the One.

The Big Bang theory (developed between 1927 and 1929), the explosion of a single material and/or energetic aggregate that gave rise to Everything that exists, since its creation, has not yet been surpassed as an explanation for the emergence of the Universe.

One doubt, however, torments scientists, occupying their minds with complex equations: whether the dispersing force of primordial matter was sufficient to produce infinite expansion or whether, at a given moment, the primordial impulse will lose its acceleration and begin a slow but constant and fatal contraction of the Universe in a process that, in the end, will cause the differentiated Whole to return to the Undifferentiated Unity in a Big Crunch (the Great Collapse).

A doubt that boils down to two possibilities: an expanding Universe or a contracting Universe.

* Esoteric Buddhist theosophists assert that destiny will always be a return to the One, the Big Crunch. A period of expansion is a Maha-avatara or Manvatara. A day of Brahma. A subsequent period of rest of the Whole in Unity is Pralaya, the Night of Brahma. (BLAVATSKY, 1995)

Ancient Occult Astrophysics Documented by Modern Science. These were headlines of the 21st century:

* September 2010

NASA CAPTURES STAR SWALLOWING PLANET: 

NASA's Chandra telescope captured the moment when the star BP Piscium swallowed a planet or a star; astronomers are not sure which. The disk and dust around BP are what remains of the planet.

The star is a thousand light-years from Earth and was once the size of the Sun. The discovery will contribute to studies on the interaction between planets and how they age. In the photo, on the right, BP Piscium is seen through the telescope. (BNAD, published on 09/14/2010).

* On July 26, 2012. Captured by the ESO - European Southern Observatory, located in Chile, the image shows an O-type star, extremely hot, with enormous mass and brightness.

In the case above, the O-type is the smaller sphere, much more powerful than the larger one. 

These stars have short and violent lives and are protagonists of extreme phenomena, such as stellar vampirism. The O-type is sucking matter from the surface of its larger neighbor.

The younger vampire star not only prolongs its own life but also grows as it feeds. It will "live" longer than the older one, which will die sooner because of the parasitism it is suffering, which is only possible because of the proximity between the two. (WREN/DAILY MAIL, 2012)

In this interaction of celestial bodies, with their attraction and repulsion, the egregors have often collided with one another, devoured one another, or even interfered with each other's biophysical and chemical nature.

This explains the planetary convulsions that devour populations... The celestial bodies act and react upon one another; their equilibrium [results] from bonds of love and efforts of hatred. Sometimes, the resistance of a star breaks and it is drawn to a sun that devours it.

Loving celestial bodies approach each other and give birth to new stars... There are stars that are sisters, others that are rivals... The celestial bodies act and react upon one another... (LEVI, 2007 - p 157/158).

Eliphas Levi therefore admits communication between celestial bodies through a language of light emissions and electromagnetic pulses produced consciously.

Very recently, in June 2012, newspapers published a strangely astrophysical piece of news for academic science: Neutron monitors (of neutrons and neutrinos) around the world lit up. The Earth is pulsating and, according to scientists, THIS IS NOT NORMAL...

After a long period, which scientists understood as one of abnormal quiet, the Sun, on May 17th, unleashed a solar storm. 

However, what is causing astonishment among astrophysicists is what is happening to the Earth. Neutron monitors around the world are pulsating for the first time in six years.

The lights are on despite the solar activity being considered M-Class, that is, a moderate storm. The neutron indicators are reporting something that shouldn't be happening because it means the planet seems to be responding to the solar outbursts. The Earth is pulsating in correspondence with the Sun.

ANGELS - SPIRITS IN CELESTIAL BODIES

Many esoteric thinkers believe that the spirits inhabiting the stars are those entities that religious traditions identify as Angels. Just as the human body is "inhabited" and animated by a spirit, so too do celestial bodies possess spiritual individualities.

The matter that composes a star, a planet, a comet would then simply be the body of a living being endowed with consciousness. 

Regarding angels, Sheldrake recalls that one of the Doctors of the Catholic Church, Thomas Aquinas, refers to them as creatures devoid of mass and body, just like photons according to Einstein's description.

...we know that angels are not bodies... the angelic substance has no quantity: therefore, no position, and consequently no place. An angel can be said to exist in place, but not in the same sense as we say this of a body. 

A body is localizated as being related to a particular place by a contiguity that can be measured quantitatively. Now an angel has no measureable quantity; he has however a "power quantity", by wich I mean that when an angel's power is applied in any way to a given place, he can be said to be locally there - where the body is to which it is applied. (AQUINAS, 2006) p 45.

What Thomas Aquinas is saying is that the Spirit of an Angel, which is its true Being, is not limited by a specific form or size, much less an anthropomorphic form.

Furthermore, the philosopher states that an Angel does not need to be personally present in a place to act upon that place or object found there.

This means that, according to this theologian, Angels, infinitely superior to humans, possess highly developed metaphysical faculties, such as psychokinesis, telepathy, and, considering mythological accounts, the power of astral projection of themselves, assuming the aspect that is most convenient to them. Astral projection would explain the appearances of Angels reported in the Bible, for example.

Sometimes they appear as pilgrims, ordinary men like the two travelers who arrived at Abraham's camp to prophesy the pregnancy of the patriarch's wife, Sarah (Sarai), even though both were already advanced in age. In the Annunciation of the Advent of Christ Jesus, the archangel Gabriel takes the form of a beautiful, winged, and luminous young man.

In Genesis, when Adam and Eve are expelled from Paradise, the Cherubim who guard the Tree of Life are warriors armed with flaming swords. In Revelation, a gigantic angel appears in the vision of the apostle and prophet (John) standing on the Sun.

THE TRUE FACE OF ANGELS

However, the popular image of these Angels, Powers, Cosmic Intelligences, or Egregores is quite distorted, associated with attributes of character and personification that always manifest as a type of necessarily peaceful and infinitely tolerant love.

The Western Angels of popular culture wear flowing robes, possess wings adorned with white feathers, and display an expression of unchanging serenity on their faces.

They are conceived as protective entities and virtuoso singers and harpists of celestial choirs in eternal adoration before a corporeal God who watches over His Creatures seated on a throne. 

Eventually, angels of lower ranks wander the Earth, acting as personal guardians of the good souls who inhabit this "Valley of Tears".

However, this image, inspired by a limited view of the message of Christ, the evangelical Jesus, is very far from the observed reality, for example, in the dynamics of the Universe, where events of Destruction are as frequent as those of Creation.

It is also far from the texts of the synoptic, canonical Gospels themselves, where a careful reading reveals extremely bold aspects of behavior that are imposed on those who wish to practice full Christianity.

The true Christian needs to discipline himself, in Spirit, to live in this world practicing, daily, a refined combination of humility and obedience with extreme and challenging courage. 

It is no wonder that Angels, in their nature, are more like powerful warriors than shepherds.

Christ himself, in the Book of Revelation of John, presents himself with a very different aspect from the Incarnate Word who, as a gentle Rabbi, lived among men. There, in 1:13, the apostle describes:

...someone like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe reaching to his feet, with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like flames of fire.

His feet were like fine bronze glowing in a furnace. His voice was like the sound of rushing waters... Coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

👽😈👀 EXORCIST DISMISSED AFTER AFFIRMS: "ALIENS ARE DEMONS"

Vatican vs. Exorcist: 

The debate about UFOs and Demons that cost Monsignor Rossetti his job

By Lygia Cabus

📸 GENRIKH SILANOV (Генрих Силанов)

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF INVISIBLE REALITY

The debate over the nature of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs/UFOs) reached the highest levels of the Catholic Church and provoked a summary dismissal.

On May 29, 2026, Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a renowned psychologist and then head of exorcists for the Archdiocese of Washington, published a video on his social media stating that, in his personal theological view, "many, if not most, UFO sightings are actually demons."

Rossetti warned that such entities would use the modern phenomenon as a disguise to manipulate the human mind.

The institutional reaction was immediate. On June 3, 2026, Cardinal Robert McElroy officially removed Rossetti from his duties as an exorcist and severed the Archdiocese's ties with the St. Michael Center, an organization directed by the priest.

In an official statement, the Church declared that the monsignor's statements "gravely compromised the Church's accurate teaching on the devil and exorcism," accusing him of generating panic and exposing the ministry to public ridicule. 

Under a vow of obedience, Rossetti retracted his statements and removed the video from the internet.

The archdiocese refused to provide details about which church teachings Monsignor Rossetti had "compromised."

Christopher Baglow, who leads the Science and Religion Initiative at the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, commented:

"There is no formal church teaching on the possibility of extraterrestrial life."

Some official church exorcists operate without making their identities as exorcists public. But several, including Monsignor Rossetti, frequently speak about their experiences with demons.

Rossetti is the author of several books, including "Diary of an American Exorcist." 

In 2025, he appeared in the American version of the Catholic documentary "Triumph Over Evil: Battle of the Exorcists."

The Phenomenon from a Fortean and Theological Perspective

Although the Archdiocese's punishment reflects the current institutional effort to secularize and soften Catholic discourse — silencing the debate on traditional spiritual combat — Rossetti's thesis is not new within the Fortean movement and parapsychology.

Classic researchers such as Jacques Vallée and J. Allen Hynek have already defended the "Interdimensional Hypothesis," suggesting that UFOs are not physical spacecraft from other planets, but manifestations of a "control system" operated by intelligences capable of shaping human consciousness and altering local matter.

If, on the one hand, the dark aspect of these plasmatic and shifting manifestations aligns with the theological concept of fallen spirits (demons), the same mystical logic demands a counterpart faithful to the Origin.

In classical angelology and biblical visions (such as Ezekiel's "wheels of fire"), Holy Angels are often described as units of light, fire, and pure energy interacting with our dimension.

💥📚 THE FIVE RACES OF GOD'S SPIRITS: BARDO THODOL

According to the Bardo Thödol, the Tibetan Book of the Dead

https://www.youtube.com/@BRASILWEIRDNEWS

The question of the existence, or not, of intelligent extraterrestrial life [on other planets, systems, galaxies], subterranean life, life underground, in the depths of the sea, or even meta-terrestrial or meta-dimensional life [inhabitants of other dimensions of existence, of parallel universes], has been the subject of study for countless thinkers and scientists throughout millennia.

Currently,  in this technocratic postmodern era, this theme remains fertile ground in the fields of scientific investigation. 

It is a topic that is now organized into specific disciplines, specializations ranging from Thanatology to Exobiology to Astronomical Archaeology and more: the speculative studies of Exopolitics.

In this context emerge characters whose existense, although unproven, does not prevent them from becoming popular, true contemporary myths.

These are, especially, the reptilians and the Pleiadians, who already have a "history" of being traditionally rivals, cosmic protagonists of the eternal conflict of the old Manichean [Antiquity, Persia]: Good against Evil, Darkness against Light.

Ufologists-exobiologists talk a lot about these alien races, among which they also recognize sub-races, hybrids, various mutants, and rarer or unexplained types [such as foofighters].

Recently, on May 14, 2026, Dr. Hal Puthoff, a quantum physicist who has worked with the NSA and CIA, advised the US government on UAP science, and served as chief science advisor to Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace, appeared on a YouTube podcast, The Diary Of A CEO, where he stated that the United States government has already had contact with "at least four distinct types" of non-human, non-terrestrial life. 

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-z0k5xu1hM]

In this context, characters emerge whose existence, although unproven, does not prevent them from becoming popular myths and true contemporary myths. 

These are, in particular, the reptilians and the Pleiadians, who already have a history of traditional rivalry, cosmic protagonists of the eternal Manichean conflict [of Antiquity, Persia]: Good against Evil, Darkness against Light. 

Ufologists and exobiologists talk a lot about these alien races, among which they also recognize sub-races, hybrids, various mutants, and rarer or more inexplicable types [such as the foofighters]. 

THE CREATOR MANSIONS

While hypotheses about aliens accumulate, among books, essays, magazines, photographs, supposed "communications," texts, and study groups, all available on the internet, nothing is said, however, about the "Races" of Spirits that manifest in the different material bodies of intelligent beings [animated with self-awareness, according to the Tibetan Book of the Dead], who inhabit the unimaginable ontological planes — which are STATES of Being and Exists — coexisting, simultaneous in the Universe. The inhabitants of the "many Mansions" of the Creator.

Occult science and the oldest cosmogonic myths describe the Principle of All Things in a way very similar to contemporary Astrophysics.

Long before the Big Bang theory appeared, archaic accounts already spoke of a Being who was alone, the Great Spirit.

This being, made of enigmatic energy, feeling alone and lamenting its solitude, manifested its desire to BE more than one, and thus everything was immediately created.

The Spirit, inert and dark matter, was "activated," "awakened," and set itself in motion, manifesting a Supreme Will.

This Will created the "whirlwind," Fohat, the first agent Spirit, which, moving in circles, gave form and meaning to the first aggregates of spiritual energy particles that, many rotations later, became the raw matter known on planets like Earth and in other modalities unknown to human beings.

The spirits of beings [living and inanimate], although ultimately being the beings themselves, stripped of any and all environmental adaptation and/or "clothing," are, these spirits, the first and last most mysterious reality of the Universe, at least for the humans of planet Earth. 

No one — at the level of proven scientific knowledge — knows what they are made of, how they arose in the context of Creation, or how many there are in the entire Cosmos.

Some believe that God creates a new soul [a term that will be used here as a synonym for Spirit] for each being or each child born into the world.

Theosophists, on the contrary, affirm that all spirits are contemporaneous with the Big Bang and undertake a long journey of changes and improvements throughout Eternity [which, in fact, would have an end, when all universal matter gathers and enters a state of latency/rest [called PRALAYA]; that is, returns to being One and Only, and very quiet].

Since spirits are a reality, or at least a possibility, always denied or scorned by contemporary objective science [although accepted by the science of Antiquity], practically everything that is known about this FORM OF BEING is knowledge inherited from very ancient magical and religious cultures; and the older the tradition, the more detailed the panorama of existence beyond this life and the less fantastical the accounts that describe both the post-mortem and the "pre-planetary life".

Christians speak of Paradise, of a Jerusalem whose sidewalks are made of precious stones; Muslims rave about gardens full of trees that bend down offering fruit and numerous perpetual virgins to satisfy the sexual desires of good disembodied believers; these same religions describe scorching hells full of tireless executioners.

BEING IN A NO-PLACE

Then, in the wide literature of the post-mortem, highlights the ancient Bardo Thödol [Brahmanic-Vedantinian Buddhism + Bön-Pá religion of Tibetan tradition], knowledge millennia older than the Jewish and Christian scriptures and the Islamic patchwork of the Quran.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead speaks of BEING in a NON-PLACE experiencing different MENTAL STATES and PSYCHIC DISPOSITIONS that determine the sensations and perceptions of the afterlife and the conditions of a next life.

It is a situation in which the Spirit, stripped of all biographical references from past lives in a given world, except for memories of any guilt, remorse, and/or virtues and joys, finds itself in a form-free, without a worldly being state, without a planetary reference state [except for the form it believes it possesses]: this situation is called the Intermediate State, a precise translation of the terms Bardo Thödol [State of Bardo, Intermediate State].

In the Bardo state, the individual finds themselves in what Kardecists would call a "wandering spirit" — meaning temporarily without direction, without guidance, without patterns of modus vivendi, meaning or, apparently, purpose for existence.

SELF-AWARE BEINGS

One of those things that nobody knows is when, how, and why this or that Spirit [which can be understood as an Egoic Unit], created simultaneously with the creation of the Universe, incarnated or materialized [atomized and molecularized?] for the first time.

Above all, nobody knows why an Egoic Unit of Divine essence would leave the subatomic reality of BEING pure energy to enter into an integrated union with a body-form, constituted of planetary matter and subject to a series of limitations, bad or less bad, depending on the category of being into which it transforms itself according to its appetites and tendencies.

This willingness to place oneself in a state of impurity in exchange for certain sensory experiences is what the mythology of many peoples understands as "the fall of Man" [or, the fall of the Spirit into matter, which is absolutely not to be confused with the mythological Fall of the Angels].

Despite the uncertainties and ignorance about the evolutions [the movement, the conversion, the transformations] of Spirits in material environments, occult science has preserved for millennia the dogma that describes this phenomenon, through which all Spirits pass: experiences between materialization and dematerialization, more or less dense and heavy:

Breath becomes stone;

the stone becomes a plant;

the plant becomes an animal; the animal becomes a man;

man becomes a spirit and the spirit becomes a god.

[BLAVATSKY, 2000]

What the ancient axiom clearly states is that every self-aware Spirit in this present time was once a stone, a plant, an animal, a man, and will again be Pure Spirit and finally, one with God, "a god".

Another way of saying this is to admit that all Spirits experience all the Kingdoms of Physical and Metaphysical Nature [planetary and dimensional] of BEING: mineral, vegetable, animal in all their intermediate manifestations. (Mentepsychosis)

Ghosts & Elementals: Both among the great religions [Christianity, Islam, Buddhism] and among the most primitive regional cults, the idea of ​​Spirit has been worn down by the distortion of information, which transforms religious rites into practices of superstition. The most widespread understanding of Spirit is restricted, generically associated with:

1. disembodied human beings;

2. Elemental beings, inhabitants of the four elements [for some, five: water, earth, fire, air, ether] who act unpredictably, both beneficially and malevolently.

In the realm of popular knowledge, and especially in the doctrines of Catholic and Islamic Christianity, which see the devil everywhere, all these creatures, whether ghosts or elementals, are demonic, and relating to such beings is, essentially, of course, a sin.

With less scandal and terror, it can be more accurately said that relating to disembodied beings and/or elementals is as unnecessary as it is unhealthy; this is when it does not become a dangerous adventure, a gateway to mental insanity.

Angels, the beings closest to the Almighty, are agents of the good contained in all Divine Will [even if this Will sometimes seems to produce a catastrophe]. Angels perform the cosmic functions of messengers and guardians [even combatants] of the Kingdom of God.

Angels are present in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim doctrines, presented in a hierarchy of powers and attributions. The most widely accepted classification distinguishes nine categories of Angelic Spirits, the "Angels":

ANGELS

                                                         

* Angels, as properly defined, are only one of these nine categories of celestial beings, the lowest one in fact, meaning, furthest from God, according to Christian theology. The term Angel has been adopted as a general term to refer to any being from any of the categories of those beings considered as a kind of working team of the Creator, God's militia.

Whether ghosts, elementals, angels, or demons, common sense has conceived of the idea of ​​Spirit as something that evokes the supernatural in the gloomy and cadaverous visions of "hauntings" or in the images of ethereal, luminous, vaporous, "divine" beings.

However, in the sphere of esoteric knowledge, where the root of words and ultimate realities is not lost, in this context, Spirit refers to Individuality, whether of the One, of the Whole, before the dawn of manifestation in the Universe, or the Individuality of each of the manifested beings in their peculiar degrees and qualities of sensitivity, perception, consciousness, and intelligence; on a scale of evolution that, in the case of brute beings [such as stones, minerals in general], comes very close to degree zero.

[In other words, as far as is known, a stone does not feel pain or get "upset" if someone kicks it; This does not mean that there, in that rock, does not dwell a Spirit imprisoned by virtue of an evolutionary stage of brute Being.

The "Great Arcanum," which the French occultist Eliphas Levi summarizes in the phrase "It is divinity in Man"; the simple Truth that few people manage to absorb despite the simplicity of the statement is that the Spirit is Everything—it is the Whole, it is in everything and permeates everything, while constituting everything in the total configuration of the BEING of all things, be it the brightest star in the Cosmos, a microorganism smaller than a grain of talc, or even the energy that moves phenomena of Nature such as the trajectory of a comet or a current of wind.

The Spirit of Unity, when in motion, generates diversity. The movement is triggered by the thought of the One; a word in the mind of the One, a small phrase that says I AM.

An affirmation that sets in motion the undifferentiated vastness of primordial Being [the black "Abyss of Waters"], thus generating the multiplicity of beings. Each being, a Spirit-unity [which esotericists call a monad], arises [because it is not "born," it results from a physicochemical reaction] crude, insensible.

But the demented monad has Eternities to evolve throughout its existence, guided by universal movement, which consists of the interaction of beings in circular trajectories, whether spheroidal, elliptical, or spiral, rotating at different speeds, under different conditions of temperature and pressure. It is the cosmic cauldron stirred by the first thought of God.

For the monad, what matters is that it may take a hundred Manvataras [Eternities of manifestations of the Universe], but at some point, after much "suffering" [in the sense of experiencing and being provoked by experiences]—suffering, with the accidents and hardships of the journey of merely existing—it, the monad, reaches a state of sensitivity. [And from then on it will "suffer" even more intensely].

The Spirit-monad acquires perceptions, vague consciousness, and finally, self-awareness, the germ of intelligence. It has become an "Egoic Individuality," an "I AM", and only by having reached this type of consciousness do Egoic Spirits begin to manifest the divine condition that pulsates in their origins. It is no longer a monad, it is Manas.

EVERYTHING IS MENTAL

The first principle of the philosophy of the mythical Hermes Trismegistus states: "Everything is Mental."

This place, called the Universe or Cosmos, the stage for so many events enacted by Egoic Spirits, is a place/non-place, a graphic space, even numerical, but not, in fact, not geological or geometric, but an instance of BEING, of a mental nature, where various planes coexist, more or less suited to different ontological states [of BEING]; these are the different "Worlds".

Mental worlds, constituted of mental matter aggregated by the force of mental manifestation which is THOUGHT-WORD.

And no longer the primordial thought of the One Who Was Alone, but by the thoughts, generated by sensations-emotions precisely of the Egoic Spirits, the Spirit-Manas, the "I AM" and their reveries around the conditions of "I Am..."

And as they aggregate, they gather by the affinity of similar thoughts, these thoughts, the emotions, form the Kingdoms and the corresponding worlds, "tempered" by these thoughts; environments, ranging from hell to heaven, passing through Earth [and/or other planets physically habitable by human beings].

FIVE RACES OF SPIRITS

Egoic Spirits, self-aware animate beings [as opposed to brutes, unconscious beings], therefore inhabit numerous worlds, and although in the context of popular culture they are known as angels, gods, men, demons, whatever the theology, it is easy to see that all these beings have traits in common from an anatomical-morphological and psychological point of view.

They all seem to have the basic form of their bodies structured in the pentagrammatic pattern [five extremities, five-pointed star] – head, torso, limbs, and a more or less erect posture [bipedal].

This could characterize them all as humanoids [from the point of view of the human species]; or, who knows, they are all "divinoid," "theomorphic," from the point of view of the metaphysical ethnography of self-aware beings.

Judeo-Christian Theology and Theurgy distinguish the mass of self-aware Spirits into three well-defined types: Angels, Men, and Demons.

Angels are dispassionate Spirits who act for good and always in fulfillment of God's Will; Demons are disciples/followers of a legion of rebellious angelic Spirits, according to legend, led by the Angel Lucifer [who would be a Seraphim, as he was of the highest rank] – later called Satan, meaning "adversary."

This is a clear allegory indicating that the Race of Angels [which Tibetans would recognize as Devas], although generally impartial, are also subject to the temptation of inner division, of doubt in the face of a choice.

Finally, Men, protected by angels, tempted by demons, are traditionally described as "made in the image and likeness" of God, a microcosm.

These hesitant beings, always confronted with the difficulty of choosing between right and wrong, in Christian theology, with all the elements inherited from Persian Manichaeism, seem more like trophies being fought over by the two forces that Mani believed governed the Universe: Good and Evil.

The Judeo-Christian doctrine presents this rather simplistic scheme of three ontological categories to represent the "demography" of Egoic Spirits.

In Tibet, Buddhism proposes a much more complex but more plausible framework, distinguishing five psychological profiles that characterize the five Races of the "Spirits of God."

It is a differentiation that Tibetans use for didactic convenience, as there are no fixed limits between one psychological type and another, independent of the physical environment suitable as a habitat.

What defines the dominant essence in an egoic Spirit, whether in hell, on Earth, or in heaven, is the predominance of psychological-behavioral tendencies—of being, feeling, thinking, acting, and reacting.

These psychological types can be understood as Races of Spirits [again, for didactic purposes] that group themselves by affinities in "worlds" configured according to the physical and metaphysical needs of each Race.

These Races of Egoic Spirits are five, listed here according to the elevation of their perception, senses, intelligence, and capacities:

1.DEVAS

IMAGE: Devas, angels from a Christian perspective, gods for Hindus. They inhabit the Kingdom of Paradise but are not free from karma, and the Devas must also follow the cycles of Samsara. After a life in Devakhan [the place of the Devas], they will have to be reborn in one of the five Kingdoms of God's Spirits. 

The Devas are very powerful. Their lives in devic form/condition and world are very long. A Deva lives as a Deva, on average, 30,000 Earth years. [LOCHTEFELD, 2005]. 

IMAGE. Asuras: They are warlike, proud, and very sensitive to the appeals of their human devotees. The figure represents a famous Asura: Varuna. This ruler of architecture and metallurgy is considered responsible for the cycles of the Sun, the Moon, the tides, and the topographical structure of planet Earth.

In the animal kingdom, he dominates crocodiles and snakes. In comparative religion, he corresponds to Hephaestus of the Greeks; Vulcan of the Romans.

Many of them eat, but the most elevated [spiritually elevated, protagonists of a just and righteous previous life and, many, not all, almost totally detached from the ephemeral reality of life in the incarnate state] – these no longer need to eat or drink in the physical sense. A large part of them do not need [because they do not wish to] eat or drink.

All can fly and, in any case, move very quickly. In popular understanding, the Devas correspond to the Judeo-Christian-Islamic angels. In physical-metaphysical-anatomical terms, the Devas can be:

[I] Amorphous or Formless Meditative: they live in meditation renouncing any sensory or relational experience.

[II] Corporeal and Dispassionate, they are like the sexless angels of the Judeo-Christians. Among the Dispassionate, there is a category called Suddhavasa devas, who are the guardians of religion in the Lower worlds. Other devas, although asexual and without passions, still appreciate self-expression in a corporeal form but live devoted to meditation, seeking the absolute tranquility of "mental matter" within themselves.

They cease to be disturbed by thoughts, becoming indifferent even to the joy of attaining such serenity, and their yearning without anxiety is to reach the supreme pleasure of feeling "nothing"...

Only the Dispassionate Devas, called Brahman devas, although meditative, are interested in beings of the lower worlds, lament their sufferings, and interfere within their sphere of power.

[III] Humanoid Devas of Kamadhãtu, similar in appearance to humans but larger. They live similarly to humans, are susceptible to passions and the intoxication of the grossest material pleasures.

With their legendary abode located on Mount Meru [or Sumeru, a sacred, mythical mountain situated in an uncertain location, considered the center of the World/Universe in Hindu Cosmology], they are the ones who most resemble the Olympian gods of Greece.

CELESTIAL ABODES

In the "heavens," and there are several "celestial worlds" [LOCHTEFELD, 2005], life is full of pleasures and joys; there is no suffering, anxiety, or dissatisfaction of any kind. However, all this ends when the time for reincarnation arrives; because nothing can guarantee that a deva cannot be reborn in another Kingdom.

To be reborn as a deva, the Spirit must remain pure in the wisdom of goodness, something that can escape any deva: over 30,000 years in Paradise, the Spirit tends to forget the religious plan of existence.

Therefore, some religious sages, such as the monks [lamas] of Tibetan Buddhism, advise, during the Bardo state [intermediate between two lives], to avoid the desire for the Kingdom and worlds of the Devas:

"In the eastern continent of Lupah... going there, this Continent, although happy and easy, is one where religion does not predominate. Do not enter there" [SAMDUP, 2003].

In the Tibetan Book of the Dead, however, the advice is different:

"To him who is to be born as a deva, exotic temples [dwellings] built with various precious metals will appear. One may enter there. Enter." [SAMDUP, 2003].

2. ASURAS

In Indian cosmology, the Asuras are superhuman beings [LOCHTEFELD, 2005]. Asura is the name for these creatures in Sanskrit, Pali, and Korean; in Tibet, they are the Lha-ma-yin; in Japan, they are the Ashura; and in China, Axiuluo.

While serenity and benevolence are characteristic of the Devas, the Asuras are restless and, although not necessarily malevolent, are passionate and, in their revolt, do not spare aggression against those they consider rivals in any matter.

They are powerful but, frequently, their passions make them amoral and/or unethical, partly because they are deeply dominated by arrogance and personal pride.

In popular culture, the word "Asura" refers to "anti-gods," "non-gods," or they are even confused with elementals, evil gods, genies, evil spirits, demons.

However, among scholars of Eastern theogony/cosmogony, the Asuras are divine beings.

As Helena Petrovna Blavatsky explains in the Theosophical Glossary:

"Asu means "breath" [speech/word] and it is with this breath that Prajapati [Brahma/God the Father] creates the Asuras... In the Vedas, the Suras are always related to Surya, the Sun, considered as inferior deities [devas].

In its primitive and esoteric meaning, based on another etymology, asura [from asu, life, vital spirit or breath – of God – and ra, [that has or possesses]] means a spiritual [less material] or divine being,”

[BLAVATSKY, p. 60 – In Google Books].

Much of the rebellious nature of the Asuras is due to the fact that they are deeply devoted, loyal to the Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu Trinity, loyal to their friends from other worlds and realms, loyal to their Buddhas, their tutelary deities, a type of Spirit so elevated that it transcends belonging to any spiritual Race.

Thus, any poorly placed attitude or word can be considered an outrage, arousing fury, indignation, instigating self-love fueled by a rigid concept of dignity.

They are vain, proud, and belligerent, bordering on, and often plunging into, the realm of Pride and cruelty.

From the point of view of comparative religion, they would then be "demigods." They can also be identified with the Greek Heroes or even with the Titans, many of whom became demigods, such as Hercules, for example. In the Judeo-Christian context, they would be the "Fallen Angels."

In any case, whatever name they are identified by, these beings are rulers of social phenomena in the worlds of all Realms.

Regarding the Asura worlds, the Tibetan Book of the Dead describes them thus: 

"He who is to be born as an asura will see a delightful forest, with circles of fire spinning in opposite directions" [SAMDUP, 2003].

 

3. MEN

The human worlds are, undeniably, the most challenging for the complex intelligences endowed with Egoic Spirits. Only in the Human Kingdom can the Spirit's condition/Race be modified through choices between good and bad actions.

The other Kingdoms are, vocationally, places of reward, expiation, or return to a previous, original, essential condition that continues to prevail even after an incarnation in the Human Kingdom.

A human being's existential situation at birth and throughout their life, their health, social position, physical and psychological qualities — all of this is determined — in most cases — by the Law of Just Retribution — the Law of Karma.

And the karmic debt incurred in a human incarnation must be annulled in another human incarnation.

No one compensates for their "sins" in infernal worlds; rather, as popular wisdom says: "What goes around comes around."

[Those who "go to hell" after death simply return to the place from which they came and to which they must return because, despite human incarnation, they remained inhabitants of Hell, belonging to the race of demons.]

This does not mean that only Egos of human essence inhabit human worlds.

Devas, Asuras, Rakshasas, Pretas, all are subject to and capable of suffering, experiencing one or more human incarnations, always with the goal of perfecting the I AM. Human worlds are, therefore, workshops of spiritual evolution.

In the post-mortem, this intermediate state of being, the one that tends to be reborn in a human world, in the manner called birth by the womb or birth by the germ, will have the vision of "males and females in union" in a setting of "large and beautiful houses" [SAMDUP, 2003].

"Entering" the germ literally means taking possession of the organism formed by the "mound of impurities" [the sperm and ovum in the human womb].

In the human worlds, situations of passion, desire, doubt, pride, and vanity predominate. Birth in the human world is considered advantageous amidst the Samsaric Realms [of the cycle of reincarnations].

This is because the Human Realms provide the acquisition of Enlightenment [improvement, wisdom, learning] in a more objective and rapid way through the multiple "conditions of life" they offer; that is, precisely because in the human worlds "men are not born equal nor are they all equal," especially in relation to those existential situations that make people reflect on things like: "the world is unjust."

In the human world there are poor, middle-class, rich, ugly, beautiful, fat, thin, healthy, sick, etc.

And although these seemingly inexplicable differences may revolt and/or sadden many people, in truth, inequalities embody individual and collective evolutionary purposes.

According to the Bardo Thödol, choosing this germ is the first and most difficult task of the future human being; much of their next life will depend on this choice, which can result in a fruitful and/or even pleasant experience or, conversely, a wretched, miserable one.

Other Races of Spirit capable of being born from this germ are the Rakshasas and the Pretas. Asuras and Devas have a supranormal birth, and the same happens with the purest of Spirits, those totally liberated from dense matter, free from all mental conditioning; constituted of pure energy, they are the Buddhas, the Enlightened Ones, and the Bodhisattvas – bodies of wisdom.

 

4. PRETAS: THE KINGDOM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS

Just as in the infernal worlds, the Spirits of the Black Race [in Japan, called Gaki] atone, purify themselves from the weight of past errors through suffering.

They are tormented by the miseries of insatiable hunger and thirst, partly because their necks, very thin, "narrow as the eye of a needle", do not allow them to feed themselves to satiety. In contrast, their stomachs are "as large as drums" [LOCHTEFELD, 2005].

According to popular belief, the Pretas are "hungry demons," "shells" or coverings of avaricious and selfish men after death.

They are reborn as pretas in Kama-Loka. ...[They are] specters, ghosts, souls of the dead. ...They inhabit the region of shadows, are generally associated with the bhutas and, like them, often frequent cemeteries and animate dead bodies [BLAVATSKY, 1995].

This lamentable state stems from the subjective "gluttony" of these creatures, Egos dominated by ambition, avarice, meanness, but also by physical, objective desires, such as voracity for food and sex, complacency in sleep, laziness, yearning for fame and riches in other lives, in other worlds, whether in preta worlds or in any other of the five Kingdoms of existence.

Right: Buddhist Hell – The "Hell Gardens" in Thailand, a counterpoint to the idyllic Gardens of Eden. Located in the Wang Saen Suk monastery, a 90-minute drive south of Bangkok.

At the entrance, colorful pictograms inform: "Welcome to Hell!" The place is a kind of "theme park" where very expressive wooden sculptures show the various sufferings that the Spirit experiences in the infernal worlds. See more at Thai's Hell Garden.

Center: Rakshasas – regarding appearance, some describe the males as extremely ugly, unlike the females, considered beautiful despite some zoomorphic traits present in their physical constitution.

Left: The world of the Pretas or Gaki, in Japan: hunger, thirst, sadness, endless dissatisfaction, is the reality created around beings dominated by greed.

5. RÂKSACHAS: THE KINGDOM OF NARAKA

The rakshasas are inhabitants of the worlds called the Infernal Realms or the Kingdom of Naraka.

Dante Alighieri was right when he conceived of several hells; in fact, numerous infernal worlds exist where Egos suffer the weight of their evil actions.

But this does not stem from divine punishment; rather, such worlds are infernal because the rakshasas are infernal beings, consumed by the most perverse feelings and desires. According to H. P. Blavatsky:

Rakshasas [Sanskrit]: Literally "eaters of raw flesh" and, according to popular superstition, evil spirits, demons.

Esoterically, however, they are the gibborim [giants] of the Bible, the fourth race of the Atlanteans.

Exoterically, the rakshasas are giants, titans, enemies of the gods: they are demons, genies, or evil spirits endowed with great power; They torment humanity with all kinds of evil; they frequent cemeteries, eat raw meat, hinder or disturb sacrifices, and change shape at will. They are the ogres or cannibals of India... A class of rakshasas are [the guardians of the treasures] of Kuvera, [deity of riches]. 

[BLAVASTKY ─ Theosophical Glossary].

The spirit of essence, the rakshasic "race," constructs its own worlds as environments where the reflections of its own thoughts prevail [as, indeed, throughout the Universe, environments are created by aggregates of thoughts of the same nature]: hatred, violence, envy, lust, greed.

Hunger, thirst, the sensation of suffering terrible tortures, such as dismemberment that hurts but does not kill, agonies, unimaginable afflictions characterize life in the infernal worlds.

The life of infernal suffering can be extremely long, up to 60,000 earthly years.

The sufferings of hell include experiencing life and death in a single day. Of the infernal worlds, Avici's hell is said to be the worst.

According to the text "The Kingdoms of Dharma," translated [from an unnamed source] by Sérgio Pereira Alves:

The first suffering is uninterrupted time, meaning there is no rest. The suffering is continuous; there is no time to breathe for even a minute or a second. The second suffering is uninterrupted space.

In Avici's Hell, space is filled with one or more people. If there is too much space, a person will multiply until they occupy all the space. Thus, this hell can be filled with just one person. The third is uninterrupted suffering.

The person has to suffer all kinds of suffering in the world. There is no hell that has more suffering than this Hell of Avici. Such suffering is called unlimited suffering.

The fourth suffering is the uninterrupted degree, meaning that this hell does not differentiate whether the person is a god in heaven, a human in the human realm, a hungry ghost within the realm of ghosts, or an animal within the animal realm. If the person "qualifies," anyone can enter Avici's Hell and can receive the same treatment.

The fifth suffering is uninterrupted life. There are numerous lives and deaths within a day and a night, and between one life and one death, the person suffers.

But no rakshasa is condemned to be a wretch for eternity: sooner or later, the dynamic that governs all things in the Universe, whose principle is movement, change, also acts upon these so-called demonic spirits, modifying their mind and perception [way of thinking, perceiving, feeling, a change in thought patterns because, after all, "Everything is mental"].

Consequently, the rakshasa will see his reality modified. He will die to hell; he will die in his life in hell and may then be reborn [reincarnated] in a Kingdom of better worlds.

SPIRITUAL MISCEGENATION

It is never too much to emphasize that the classification is purely didactic, serving only to organize thought in understanding the subject. Cosmic reality does not obey any insurmountable limit.

The five "Races" of Spirits, in their many lives, transit through the five types of worlds. A spirit of the Asura type can "be born" in a world of Men or in a Rakchasic world, for example.

These five Races, therefore, have a common existential element: they are necessarily reincarnating Egoic Spirits [I Am].

The Devas, which according to the study of comparative religion, correspond both to the Judeo-Christian Angels — more specifically, to the Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, and Powers — and to the gods of the pagan pantheons [such as the Greeks], this Deva can "incarnate," "be born" in a human world, although it is not an essentially human Being.

In worlds inhabited by Egoic Spirits, the populations—from the point of view of the essence, nature, or Race of the Spirits—are more or less mixed, and possibly the Human worlds are the most spiritually mixed because they offer an astonishing diversity of ontological experiences.

In the Human worlds, virtues and vices coexist in complex relationships that demand a high capacity for discernment of all the Intelligences that an Egoic Spirit possesses [analytical, emotional, mathematical intelligence, etc.].

In these worlds, one suffers much, but one learns much more. Sometimes one suffers as much as in the worst of Hells [because there are many infernal worlds]. 

Therefore, the human condition is a state of being that demands a good dose of heroism among other "abilities."

A human being, before being human, is an Egoic Spirit, an Ego, an I Am.

The same Egoic Spirit that manifests today as a human being, in an Aeon, may be manifesting as an Asura; or, conversely, an Asura may lose the harmony [of its unity of Being] and manifest in a rakashika life [as a demon inhabiting hell] or, on the opposite path, achieving a state of peace and well-being, conquer a life as a Deva; and a preta, one day manages to cultivate within itself a spark of hope and die and be reborn as a human being; perhaps a boring, sad, grumpy human being, always dragging chains of dissatisfaction, but human nonetheless!

Better than the depressed and repressed-envious state and, above all, the insolently hungry, endless hunger and thirst of the pretas.

And so the populations of the worlds of the five Realms of Being evolve, progress, regress, and often work throughout an Eternity [Maha-avatara, period of God's manifestation in the Universe].

INCARNATIONS:

TRANSITING BETWEEN THE KINGDOMS OF GOD

Admitting that the Spirits incarnated on Earth belong to different "Races," different psychic, mental-emotional structures, it is possible to understand how and why so many humans seem so little "human."

It's because they aren't; not in essence. Some are more like angels while others behave like demons.

Heroes and villains, victims and executioners, the passive and the active, the lazy and the industrious—thus the diversity of the "human species," of the human Being, intrigues biology, psychiatry, psychology, challenges genetics, pedagogy, and, faced with an artistic-intellectual prodigy or a "heartless" villain, it is pertinent to ask: "Is this a person?"— and, even if someone said "more or less," it would possibly not be an insane answer; on the contrary, this "more or less" may be very close to the truth.

Rebirth as a human being is very difficult to achieve. It is a rare occurrence [in terms of individuals] because most people waste their earthly life amidst material desires, emotions, thoughts, and useless attitudes.

Most of those who die in the human worlds take a long time to return. There is a very high turnover of spiritual races seeking in these worlds the means to obtain purification, refinement, and improvement of the Self, of the I AM.

The fact is that the human condition is experienced not only by Devas and Asuras, Rakshasas and Pretas, but also by spirits in a stage of transcendence from an animal condition, and even by spirits free from Karma [more evolved "Races," which are energetically purer, stronger, and more powerful] such as Buddhas and Bodhisattvas [Nirmanakayas]—who voluntarily submit to the limitations of the Human Kingdom in order to assist their "brothers" on the evolutionary journey.

Regarding Inequalities: In the human worlds, situations of passion, desire, doubt, pride, and vanity predominate. Birth in the human world is considered advantageous amidst the Samsaric Realms [of the cycle of reincarnations].

These worlds provide the acquisition of Enlightenment [improvement, wisdom, learning] in a more objective and rapid way through the multiple "conditions of life" they offer.

The inequalities among men, which most perceive as injustice of Fate or God, are precisely what makes the human condition unique; only in the human condition can the Spirit evolve.

Furthermore, inequalities very accurately reflect existential configurations resulting from the race of the incarnated Spirit.

This is explained when one admits that, although people do not retain the memory of their pre-earthly life, it is they themselves, as Spirits of a certain race, who carry out fundamental operations for the configuration of the earthly life they will face.

Choices such as: choice of family environment [including phenotypic genetic traits, appearance] and social environment.

For this reason, the poor, the middle class, the rich, the ugly, the beautiful, the fat, the thin, the healthy, the sick, the intelligent, the foolish, very bad people, very good people, people who are neither here nor there, etc., coexist in the human world.

And although these seemingly unfounded differences may revolt and/or sadden many people, in truth, inequalities embody individual and collective evolutionary choices and purposes.

Certain "impressions," perceptions among human beings, so often expressed in language that is thought to be merely figurative, these perceptions and "figurations" may be truer than they seem. Amidst the metaphors of praise and insults, there is much literalness, reality.

If people frequently refer to each other as "angel," "goddess," "my hero!", or even "so-and-so is a fool," a door, a demon, a useless "burden," a sack, a vulture... often the Spirit in question is, in fact, a "pig-spirit," for example.

Thus, this mass of spirits incarnated in the human worlds, although all having anthropomorphic anatomy, is constituted of different Races of Spirits.

Therefore, looking at the people walking in the streets can be like looking at a rich invisible fauna.

Hidden by the "human garment" [body], on this Earth, there coexist tapirs and lions, worms, bitches, doors, rakshasa demons and preta demons; but also gods, angels, buddhas.

It remains to learn to recognize the specimens, the races that surround us in order to choose very well those with whom we associate. We divide our lives so as not to risk having dinner with the devil or sleeping with snakes.
