Death

CHAPTER X: THOUGHTS ARE THINGS—TƯ TƯỞNG LÀ SỰ VẬT Reference has been made to the fact that thought and emotion, besides the effect which they produce upon the physical body, cause vibration in the subtler bodies appropriate to them—the astral and mental bodies by which each human being is surrounded. The following passages from an

CHAPTER VIII: HUMAN WORKERS IN THE UNSEEN— NHỮNG NGƯỜI HOẠT ĐỘNG TRONG THẾ GIỚI VÔ HÌNH There are two classes from whom intervention in human affairs may come, and in both cases they are men like ourselves, and not far removed from our own level. The first class consists of those whom we call the

CHAPTER VII: GUARDIAN ANGELS— THIÊN THẦN HỘ MỆNH To my mind it is one of the most beautiful points about our Theosophical teaching that it gives back to man all the most useful and helpful beliefs of the religions which he has outgrown.

Before we can understand this we must throw aside altogether the ordinary clumsy and erroneous ideas about death and the condition of the

CHAPTER IV: THE HEAVEN-WORLD— THẾ GIỚI THIÊN ĐÀNG All religions agree in declaring the existence of heaven and in stating that the enjoyment of its bliss follows upon a well-spent earthly life. Christianity and Mohammedanism speak of it as a reward assigned by God to those who have pleased Him, but most other faiths describe

CHAPTER III: PURGATORY—CÕI LUYỆN NGỤC A great deal of totally unnecessary uneasiness and even acute suffering has been caused by those who still continue to teach the world silly fables about non-existent bugbears instead of using reason and common sense. The baseless and blasphemous hell-fire theory has done more harm than even its promoters know,

CHAPTER II: THE TRUE FACTS— SỰ THẬT CHÂN THỰC The state of affairs found as actually existing is much more rational than most of the current theories. It is not found that any sudden change takes place in man at death, or that he is spirited away to some heaven beyond the stars. On the
