< The Key to Theosophy (continued from page 10-324) >

D’ Represents the soul in a state of revery—liable to delusion, or “Electro Biology.”

D Represents the spirit on first awaking in the spirit sphere of revery, namely, in the condition easily imposed on by soul force. In a purgatorial state of hallucination, and prone to impose on others. It is from this region, I believe, that for the most part, come those spirits which haunt our promiscuous seances. They descend through the narrow way and biologise the mediums who are in a condition of soul revery at D. Spirits at D’ are under the control of soul or will force.

C This represents the position of the clairvoyant spirit but still within the influence of the corresponding region of soul imagination at C’.

B This is the position of spiritual reason and spiritual knowledge and power corresponding to B’.

A This is the position where the spirit, being beyond earth and human reason, has become a perfect unity, at one with the Holy Spirit of the Lord, and in perfect subjection to the will of God. Its utterances being “Thus saith the Lord.”

An Incident

Unarmed and unattended walks the Czar, Through Moscow’s busy street one winter’s day. The crowd uncover as his face they see,— “God greet the Czar!” they say. Along his path there moved a funeral, Grey spectacle of poverty and woe. A wretched sledge, dragged by one weary man, Slowly across the snow. And on the sledge, blown by the winter wind, Lay a poor coffin, very rude and bare. And he who drew it bent before his load, With dull and sullen air. The Emperor stopped and beckoned to the man; “Who is’t thou bearest to the grave?” he said. “Only a soldier, Sire!” the short reply. “Only a soldier, dead.” “Only a soldier!” musing, said the Czar; “Only a Russian, who was poor and brave. Move on. I follow. Such an one goes not Unhonoured to his grave.” He bent his head, and silent raised his cap; The Czar of all the Russias, pacing slow, Following the coffin, as again it went, Slowly across the snow. The passers in the street, all wondering, Looked on that sight, then followed silently: Peasant and Prince, and artisan and clerk, All in one company. Still, as they went, the crowd grew ever more, Till thousands stood around the friendless grave, Led by that princely heart, who, royal, true, Honoured the poor and brave.

Agnes Macdonell, inThe Spectator.

March 2nd, 1880.

Note.—This incident is narrated by a lady who was living in Moscow when it took place.
