as the drowning man perceives the pictures of his past life
in a flash. At that time the Ego is already partially
blind to its spiritual nature, so that if the coming life
seems to be a hard one,
it will oftentimes shrink from
entering the womb and making the proper brain connec-

then, instead of being concentric as the vital and the dense
bodies should be, the vital body formed of ether may be
drawn partially above the head of the dense body. In
that case the connection between the sense centers of the
vital body and the dense body are disrupted and the result
is congenital idiocy, epilepsy, St. Vitus dance, and similar
nervous disorders.

course, an added source of discomfort, which may result in
the above named dreadful state of affairs.
