extreme cases, as we have said, there may even ensue the state resembling
earthly somnambulism or sleep-walking, and the poor sleeping soul may
even visit its former scenes. In such cases, when the apparition is visible to
men it will be noted that there is a half-awake manner and air about the
apparition—a something lacking that was present in earth-life. The history
of “ghosts” bears out this statement, and the explanation just given is the
only one which really throws light on the subject. In time, however, these
poor earth-bound souls become tired, and finally sink into the blessed
sleep which is their just lot. In the same way, the strong desires of those left
behind often serves to establish a rapport condition between such persons
and the departed soul, causing it to become restless and uneasy. Many a
well meaning person has acted so as to retard the natural processes of the
Astral Plane in relation to some loved one who has passed away, and has
denied to the tired soul that rest which it has merited.
