I talked with many old men and women who had seen the fighting and escaped the pickling. keywords: arms; atherton; body; captain; cell; chong; course; dark; darrell; day; days; dead; death; dynamite; end; ere; eyes; face; father; feet; fire; food; god; going; good; guards; half; hand; head; heart; high; hours; jacket; jake; know; lady; left; life; little; look; man; matter; meat; men; mind; miriam; moment; mong; morning; morrell; mother; night; oppenheimer; pilate; place; prison; quentin; red; remember; san; saw; sea; sen; solitary; spirit; standing; sun; thing; thought; time; wagon; warden; water; way; winwood; woman; world; years cache: 1162.txt plain text: 1162.txt item: #2 of 8 id: 21533 author: Pascal, Théophile title: Reincarnation: A Study in Human Evolution date: None words: 67130 flesch: 58 summary: The visible bodily sheath has had its atoms scattered to the four elements; the etheric body[263] has become separated from the physical molecules whose vital support it formed; the body of passions and desires (_astral body_) has lived for a few years in what Catholics call _Purgatory_, Greeks, _Hades_, and Hindus, _Kâmaloka_; after which, only germs have been left behind; then the intelligence (_mental body_) has been dispersed in turn and endures only in a germinal state. The improvements subsequently effected by human bodies did not then exist; the difference, or distinction, which has now widened into a gulf, was scarcely perceptible, and in the early incarnations of these rudimentary human souls back-slidings and falls were so frequent that some of them, thus enfeebled, might find it to their advantage[194] to become incarnate, at times, in highly-developed animal bodies. keywords: animal; astral; atoms; beings; birth; bodies; body; book; brain; causal; causal body; chap; consciousness; death; development; divine; doctrine; earth; evil; evolution; existence; footnote; force; form; god; human; intelligence; law; life; light; lives; man; matter; memory; nature; new; past; physical; place; point; power; present; qualities; reason; reincarnation; return; soul; state; teaching; thought; time; universe; vibrations; work; world cache: 21533.txt plain text: 21533.txt item: #3 of 8 id: 26364 author: Atkinson, William Walker title: Reincarnation and the Law of Karma A Study of the Old-New World-Doctrine of Rebirth, and Spiritual Cause and Effect date: None words: 45659 flesch: 55 summary: Many souls are so earth-bound that they rush back at once into material embodiment if the conditions for rebirth are favorable, and they are generally favorable for there seems to be always an abundant supply of new bodies suitable for such souls in the families of people of the same character and nature, which afford congenial opportunities for such a soul to reincarnate.

Theophrastus Longuet was not alone when he rang the bell of that old-time palace prison, the Conciergerie: he was accompanied by his wife Marceline, a very pretty woman, uncommonly fair for a Frenchwoman, of an admirable figure, and by M. Adolphe Lecamus, his best friend. And under the vaults of the Catacombs, among their avenues and crossways, where stretch the tragic walls covered with the bony wrecks of men, the funeral march of Chopin raised its lamentation before an audience of æsthetes, of artists, of Bulgarians, of Moldo-Wallachians, of frequenters of first-nights, of M. Mifroid, and M.

Such is the life of the gods; other souls which follow God best and are likest to Him succeed in seeing the vision of truth and in entering into the outer world with great difficulty. keywords: animal; body; cause; death; evolution; existence; form; germ; human; individual; law; life; nature; powers; reincarnation; soul; theory; time cache: 7377.txt plain text: 7377.txt
