SOSICRUCIAN PHILOSOPHY
QUESTION No. 45.
When an insane person dies, will lie still be insane in the
Desire World?
Answer: That depends upon where the break is, for
insanity is a rupture in the vehicles between the Ego and
the physical body, and this derangement may occur between
the Ego and the mind, between the mind and the desire
body, or between the desire body and the vital body, and
also between the latter and the dense body. If the break
is between the dense and the vital body or between that and
the desire body, the Ego will be perfectly sane in the
Desire World immediately after death, because it has then
discarded the two vehicles which were afflicted.
Where the break occurs between the desire body and
the mind, the desire body is, as a matter of course, still
rampant, and often causes the Ego much trouble during
its existence in the Desire World; for the Ego, of course,
is at no time insane. What appears as insanity arises
from the fact that the Ego has no control over its vehicles ;
the worst of all, obviously, is where the mind itself has
become affected and the Ego is tied to the personality for
a long time until these vehicles are worn away.
