A
Path of Protection Across the Vital
Page

There
was an experience like that quite recently. A.'s mother was
ill—old and seriously ill. Seeing her declining, A. wrote
to me: 'If the time has come, make it happen quickly—don't
let her suffer.' Then I saw very clearly that there was still
something in her which didn't want to go; and when I applied
the Force for the best to happen she suddenly began to recover!
It must have coincided with a kind of inner aspiration in
her—no more fever, she was feeling well. And A. began
preparing to come back here. 'If she's recovering,' he said,
'there's no longer any point in my staying!' The same evening
she had a relapse and he sent me a telegram. Meanwhile (it
was evening) I had gone upstairs to 'walk'; suddenly The Will
came (which is a very, very rare thing), The Will: 'Enough,
now it must finish—it's enough as it is.' Within half
an hour she was dead.
These
things are very interesting. They must form part of the work
I have come on earth to do. Because even before encountering
Theon, before knowing anything, I had experiences at night,
certain types of activities looking after people who were
leaving their bodies—and with a knowledge of the process;
I didn't know what I was doing nor did I seek to know, yet
I knew exactly what had to be done and I did it. I was around
twenty.
As
soon as I came upon Theon's teaching (even before meeting
him personally), and read and understood all kinds of things
which I hadn't known before, I began to work quite systematically.
Every night, at the same hour, I was working to construct—between
the purely terrestrial atmosphere and the psychic atmosphere—a
path of protection across the vital, so that people wouldn't
have to pass through it (for those who are conscious but without
knowledge it's a very difficult passage—infernal.) I
was preparing this path, doing this work (it must have been
around 1903 or 1904, I don't remember exactly) for months
and months and months. All sorts of extraordinary things happened
during that time—extraordinary. I could tell long stories....
Then,
when I went to Tlemcen, I told Madame Theon about it. 'Yes,'
she told me, 'it is part of the work you have come on earth
to do. Everyone with even a slightly awakened psychic being
who can see your Light will go to your Light at the moment
of dying, no matter where they die, and you will help them
to pass through.' And this work is constant. Constant. it
has given me a considerable number of experiences concerning
what happens to people when they leave their bodies. I've
had all sorts of experiences, all kinds of examples—it's
really very interesting.
Lately
it has increased, become more precise.
There
is a boy here, V., who is especially interested in what happens
at the moment of death (this seems to be one reason why he
has reincarnated). He's a conscious boy, a remarkable clairvoyant,
and he has a power. And we have had (how to put it?) some
quite interesting correlations of experiences concerning people
who pass away here. Extremely interesting and extraordinarily
precise: he sends word to me, I reply, and at night when the
disincarnated person comes he says, 'Mother has done this
and says to do that,' and the person does it. And we don't
need to speak—such precision!
This
happens in sleep?
He
might do this work in sleep, or sometimes in meditation, or
in a kind of trance he enters into—it depends on the
case.
I
will give you a concrete example, then you'll understand.
When I.B. was killed, I had to gather up all his states of
being and activities, which had been dispersed by the violence
of the accident—it was terrible, he was in a dreadful
state of dispersion. For two or two and a half days the doctors
fought in the hope of reviving him, but it was impossible.
During those two days I gathered up all his consciousness,
all of it; I collected it over his body, to the point where,
when it had come and formed itself there, such vitality, such
life was coming back into his body that after some hours the
doctors believed he would be saved. But it couldn't last (it
wasn't possible—a part of the brain had come out). Well,
when not only his soul but his mental being, his vital being,
and all the rest had been properly collected and organized
over his body and had realized that the body had become quite
unusable, it was over—they gave up the body and it was
over.
I
was keeping I.B. near me because I already had the idea of
putting him immediately back into another body—his soul
was not satisfied, it had not finished its experience (there
was a whole combination of circumstances) and it wanted to
continue to live on earth. Then, that night, his inner being
went to find V., lamenting, saying he was dead and hadn't
wanted to die, that he had lost his body and wanted to continue
to live. V. was very perplexed. He let me know about it in
the morning: 'Here's what has happened.' I sent word to him
of what I was doing, that I was keeping I.B. in my atmosphere
and that he should stay very calm and not get excited, for
I was going to put him back into a body as soon as possible—I
already had something in view. The same evening I.B. again
went to find V., with the same complaint. V. told him very
clearly, 'Here is what Mother says, here is what she is going
to do; come now, be calm and don't torment yourself.' And
he saw in I.B.'s face that he had understood (the inner being
was taking on I.B.'s physical appearance, naturally); his
face relaxed, he became content.
He
went away and he never came back. That is, he stayed tranquilly
with me, until I was able to put him into C'.s child.
This
correlation in the work is very interesting because it has
quite practical effects—V. was able to communicate exactly
what I had to say to I.B., and I.B. understood better through
him than through me directly (because I do the work, but don't
have time to deal with all the details, to tell each individual
what to do).
I
was telling you the other day how vexing it is that we are
all on different planes all the time, but on that particular
plane it works very well with this boy—on this one point,
this tiny, precise point concerning the moment of leaving
the body. We can do interesting work this way.
