Modern psychic science! What gathers beneath this banner! What an odd collection of proponents and
opponents! A playground for earnest seeking, little knowledge, great plans, vanity and stupidity; in many
cases for empty boasting, and still more for the most unscrupulous commercialism. Out of this confusion
there frequently blossom envy and boundless hatred, which finally results in the basest kind of malicious
vindictiveness.
In such a state of affairs it is naturally not surprising if many people shun all these mad activities,
fearing to poison themselves by coming into contact with them. They are not altogether wrong; for
countless adherents of psychic science show anything but enticing, still less attractive behavior; on the
contrary, everything about them warns others to exercise the greatest caution.
It is strange that the whole field of so-called psychic science, which is often confused by the
malicious or ignorant with ghost science, is today still considered a sort of open territory where everyone
may go about doing his own brand of mischief, unhindered, even unrestrained and with impunity.
It is considered to be so. But experiences have already very often taught that it is not so!
Countless pioneers in this field who were foolhardy enough to venture a few steps forward in their
investigations, equipped with only an imagined knowledge, have become helpless victims of their
carelessness. The only sad thing about this is that all these victims fell without bringing even the slightest
benefit to humanity!
Now each of these cases should really have proved that the way followed is not the right one, because
it brings only harm and even destruction, but no blessing. Yet with a strange persistence these false ways
are retained, and fresh victims are continually sacrificed; a great clamor is raised over every small speck
of dust that is discovered and newly recognized, although self-evident in the mighty Creation, and
innumerable treatises are written which must repel many serious seekers, because the merely uncertain
groping therein is clearly evident.
All investigations until now should really be called dangerous pastimes, based on good intentions.
The field of psychic science, which is considered open territory, can never be entered upon with
impunity as long as one does not first know how to take into account the spiritual Laws to their full
extent. Every conscious or unconscious opposition to these Laws, that is “non-observance” of them,
which is equivalent to transgression, must through their inevitable reciprocal action strike the bold,
frivolous or careless person who does not or cannot observe them strictly.
Trying to explore the non-earthly with earthly means and possibilities is no different from placing an
undeveloped child, as yet unfamiliar with earthly dangers, alone in a jungle, where only a man adequately
equipped for it and at the height of his strength, exercising greatest precaution, can have any prospect of
getting through unharmed.
It is no different for modern psychic scientists and their present methods, even if they believe their
intentions to be absolutely serious, and if they really take great risks for the sole purpose of gaining
knowledge to help men advance across a boundary, before which they have long been waiting and
knocking.
Even today these researchers stand before this boundary like children, helpless and groping, unaware
of the dangers that may rush towards them at any moment, or pour forth through them on to others if their
groping efforts breach the natural defenses, or open a door that for many had better remain closed.
All this is nothing but recklessness, not boldness, as long as those desiring to forge ahead are not
absolutely certain that they will be able to completely and instantly master all possible dangers which
may arise, not only for themselves but also for others.
Those “investigators” who engage in experiments act most irresponsibly of all. Attention has already
been repeatedly called to the crime of hypnotism. *(Lecture No. 35: The crime of hypnotism) Investigators
experimenting in yet other ways in most cases, knowing nothing themselves – for otherwise they would
surely not do it – make the regrettable mistake of putting other persons who are very sensitive or have
mediumistic abilities, into either a magnetic or even hypnotic sleep, in order to bring them nearer to the physically invisible influences of the “other world” in the hope of thereby hearing and observing various
things which would not be possible if the experimental subject were in a fully day-conscious condition.
In at least ninety-five out of a hundred cases they thus expose such persons to great dangers, which
they are not yet ready to cope with; for every kind of artificial help towards deeper penetration is a
binding of the soul, which forces it into a state of sensitiveness that goes beyond what its natural
development would permit.
The result is that the soul of a victim of such experiments suddenly stands in a region where he is
robbed of his natural protection by the artificial training, or for which he does not have his natural
protection, which can only be formed through personal, sound inner development.
One must picture such a pitiable person as standing naked, tied to a stake and pushed far out into
dangerous territory as bait, in order to attract and be affected by the as yet unknown life and activity there,
so that he can report on it; or so that various manifestations will also become visible to others, through his
co-operation by producing certain earthly substances from his body.
Such an experimented upon person is able at times, through the connection his projected soul must
maintain with his earthly body, to report all that happens as through a telephone, and transmit it to the
observer.
However, should the outpost thus artificially pushed forward be attacked in some way, he cannot
defend himself because he lacks his natural protection; he is helplessly exposed, because with the aid of
others he has been artificially pushed into territory where, according to the state of his own development,
he does not belong yet or not at all. The so-called researcher, however, whose thirst for knowledge
pushed him into it, can do just as little to help him, since he himself is an inexperienced stranger in the
place whence the danger comes, and therefore is unable to provide any kind of protection.
This is how researchers unwittingly become criminals, who cannot be prosecuted for this by earthly
justice. However, this does not prevent the spiritual Laws from exercising their reciprocal action with full
force, and chaining the investigator to his victim.
Many a person used for experiments has suffered ethereal attacks which in due course, often quickly,
or immediately, have a gross-material-physical effect as well, so that physical illness or death follows, but
without eliminating the harm done to the soul.
The observers who call themselves investigators, however, and who push their victims into unknown
regions, in most cases stand during such hazardous experiments under good earthly cover through the
protection of their body and day-consciousness.
They seldom share simultaneously in the dangers confronting the test persons in a way that such
dangers immediately pass on to them. But then, at their physical death, i.e. the transition into the Ethereal
World, because they are chained to their victims they must inevitably go wherever these may have been
pulled, so that only together with them they may slowly begin to ascend once more.
The artificial projection of a soul into another region must not always be taken to mean that the soul
leaves the body and floats away to another region. In most cases it just remains in the body. But the
magnetic or hypnotic sleep makes the soul unnaturally sensitive, so that it responds to much finer currents
and influences than would be possible in its natural state. It is self-evident that in this unnatural condition
the full strength is not available, which the soul would otherwise possess if it had attained this point
through its own inner development, and would therefore stand firmly and securely on this new and more
refined soil, bringing an equal strength to bear on all influences. Because of this lack of sound full vigor,
the artificiality produces an inequality which is bound to entail disturbances. As a result all intuitive
perceptions become absolutely blurred, giving rise to distortions of reality.
The cause of the false reports and countless errors is again always given only by the investigators
themselves, through their harmful assistance. That is also why in the many “investigated” matters from
the occult field already available so much does not accord with strict logic. They contain countless errors,
which until now could not yet be recognized as such.
Absolutely nothing that could be of the slightest use or blessing to mankind is gained by these
obviously wrong methods.
In reality, only that which helps men upwards, or at least points a path thereto, can be of any use to....... to be continued next Sunday
