By the use of
the astral body, however, a man can move about quite freely and rapidly in
any direction, and can (for example) find without difficulty any place
pointed out upon a map, without either any previous knowledge of the spot
or any object to establish a connection with it. He can also readily rise
high into the air so as to gain a bird's eye view of the country which he
is examining, so as to observe its extent, the contour of its coastline,
or its general character. Indeed, in every way his power and freedom are
far greater when he uses this method than they are in any of the lesser
forms of clairvoyance."
In many well authenticated cases, we may see that the soul of a dying
person, one whose physical end is approaching, visits friends and
relatives in the astral body, and in many cases materializes and even
speaks to them. In such cases the dying person accomplishes the feat of
astral manifestation without any special occult knowledge; the weakened
links between the physical and the higher phases of the soul render the
temporary passing-out comparatively easy, and the strong desire of the
dying person furnishes the motive power necessary. Such visits, however,
are often found to be merely the strongly charged thought of the dying
person, along the lines of telepathy, as I have previously explained to
you.
