QUESTION No. 145.
In what way will it help us in Hie life aftar death if we
have cultivated clairvoyance in the present life?
Answer: In a number of ways. In the first place, many
people have a great fear of death; the very mention of the
word death sends the cold shivers down their backs, and
they always avoid the subject. Fear of death generates
thought forms of a hideous nature and when a person
leaves the body at death to enter the Invisible World, he
sees those dread forms surround him as so
and they sometimes drive him almost insane.
many fiend^s,
They are his
progeny, however, and he cannot rid himself of them until
he learns that they have no power over him and fearlessly
bids them begone. Then they vanish as dew before the
sun.
The man who has cultivated clairvoyance during earth
life is sometimes also tormented on his first entrance into
the Invisible World by various elemental entities which
take upon themselves most hideous forms. They recog-
nize in the neophyte a possible future master and seek to
sway him from his purpose by intimidation, but as he is
usually helped by a teacher and is taught that these beings
have no power over him, he very quickly overcomes fear.
When later he leaves his body at death ami enters the
Invisible World, he is already familiar with many
of the
sights and scenes there ; above all he has no fear to hamper
him.
