22 - perisprit is the ring junction between the bodily life and spiritual life, is through him that the Spirit is embodied in ongoing relationship with the spirit, and through him, finally, that we humans make special phenomena that have their root cause in tangible matter, and that precisely for that reason seem sovrannaturali.E 'properties and the radiation fluid perispiritico that we must investigate the cause of double vision, or spiritually, you can also call psychic sight: many people have them without know, how is it that many are having with somnambulistic. The perisprit is the sensitive organ of the Spirit, it is through him that the Spirit has incarnated the perception of spiritual things which escape instead under the flesh. Through the organs of the body, sight, hearing, and the different sensations are localized and limited to the perception of material things through a spiritual sense, or psychic, are generalized to the Spirit sees, hears and feels with all the its being what it is in the sphere of radiation
perispiritico its fluid.
These phenomena are, in humans, the manifestation of the spiritual life is the soul that acts outside the body. In double vision, or perception by means of the psychic sense, you do not see at all through the eyes of the body, yet in many cases, out of habit, the man to direct them to the point that brings his attention and he sees through the eyes of the soul, and the proof is that he sees just as well with my eyes closed, and beyond the scope of his vision, read the thought within fluidic figured (No. 15) (4).
(4) Cases of double vision and clarity of somnambulistic reported in the Revue
Spirit in January 1858, p.. 25, November 1858, p.. 213, July 1861, p..

23 - Although, during the life of the Spirit is inextricably linked to the body by means of perisprit and is not a slave to the point of not being able to extend its chain and conveyed away, or on earth, is in some point in space. The Spirit regrets di essere legato al corpo, perché la sua vita normale è la libertà, mentre la vita corporale è quella di un servo della gleba. Lo Spirito, quindi, è ben felice di lasciare il suo corpo, come l’uccello è felice di lasciare la sua gabbia: approfitta di tutte le occasioni per liberarsi, e di tutti gli istanti in cui la sua presenza non è necessaria alla vita di relazione. E’ il fenomeno che viene designato con il nome di emancipazione dell’anima, e ha luogo sempre durante il sonno; tutte le volte che il corpo riposa ed i sensi sono inattivi, lo Spirito si libera (vedi Il Libro degli Spiriti, cap. VIII).
In quei momenti, lo Spirito vive della vita spirituale, mentre nel corpo vive soltanto della vita vegetativa; si trova, in un certo senso, nello stato in cui si troverà dopo la morte; percorre lo spazio, si intrattiene con gli amici e con altri Spiriti liberi od incarnati come lui.
Il legame fluidico che lo tiene unito al corpo non si rompe definitivamente se non con la morte; la separazione completa ha luogo soltanto con l’estinzione assoluta dell’attività del principio vitale. Finché il corpo vive, lo Spirito, a qualunque distanza si trovi, vi è immediatamente richiamato non appena la sua presenza è necessaria; allora riprende il corso della vita esteriore di relazione. Talvolta, al risveglio, conserva un ricordo delle sue peregrinazioni, un’immagine più o meno precisa che costituisce il sogno; in all cases, it shows
insights that suggest new ideas and thoughts, and justify the well-known proverb, the night brings counsel.
This will also explain certain phenomena, characteristic of the natural and magnetic somnambulism, catalepsy, lethargy, ecstasy, and so on, what else are but manifestations of spiritual life
(5).
(5) Examples of lethargy and catalepsy in: Revue Spirit: Madame
Schwabenhaus, September 1858, p.. 225, and the young of cataleptic Souabe,
January 1866, p.. 18.
24 - As the spiritual vision is not realized through the eyes of the body, the perception of things does not take place through the normal light: In fact, the light material is made for the material world to the spiritual world there is a special light, the nature of which is unknown to us, but that is without a doubt one of the properties of the fluid, ethereal implemented by perceptions visualidell'anima. There is therefore a light material and the spiritual light. The first outbreak was confined in the bulbs, the second has its outbreak anywhere;
is for this reason that there are obstacles to spiritual sight, which is not arrested by distance or by the opacity of matter, the darkness, it does not exist. The spiritual world is then illuminated by spiritual light, which has its own effects, as well as material world is illuminated by sunlight.
25 - The soul wrapped in her perisprit brings with it a principle so bright, it penetrates the material because of its ethereal essence, for his view there are no opaque bodies. However, the spiritual way is not the same scope or the same penetration in all spirits, the only pure spirits possess in all its power, in lower spirits, however, is weakened by the relative coarseness perisprit, which is placed as a nebbia.Tale kind of view is manifested in varying degrees in the embodied spirit,
with the phenomenon of second sight, both in natural somnambulism or magnetic field, both in the waking state. According to the degree of power of the faculty, it is said that clarity is more or less. E 'precisely because of these that some people may see the inside of the body and describe the cause of disease.
26 - The view gives spiritual perceptions so special, because the bodies have not registered for materials, work in very different conditions from those of the living body. For this reason, we can expect the same results, nor can we think of experience with these procedures.
committed outside the body, has a mobility that defies all predictions. We must study it in its effects and its causes, and not considering similar to human routine, since it is not intended to replace
latter, except in exceptional cases that can not be regarded as a rule.
27 - The spiritual view is necessarily incomplete and imperfect in the embodied spirit, and therefore is subject to aberrations. It is based in the same soul, so the state should affect perceptions of the soul that it gives. According to the stage of its development, the circumstances and the moral state of the individual can make, both in the state of sleep and in waking life:
1, the actual perception of certain facts, such as knowledge of events that occur far , the description details of a location, the causes of disease and the most suitable remedies;
2 nd also the perception of real things of the spirit world, as the sight of spirits;
3 rd fantastic images created by the imagination, similar to fluidic creations of thought (see above, n. 14).
These creations are always in relationship to the moral character of the Spirit that creates. It 's so that the thought of people strongly imbued with certain religious beliefs and concern has them hell, with its furnaces, his torture and his demons, just as if they represent them, sometimes it's all an epic: the pagans Olympus and saw the Tartar, as Christians see hell and paradise. If you wake up, or at the end of ecstasy, these people keep a precise memory of their visions, mistaken for reality that confirms their beliefs, while in practice it is only the product of their thoughts (6).
(6) E 'in this way can we explain the visions of Sister Elmerich that
back to the time of the Passion of Christ, said he had seen things
materials that have never existed in the books she had read, including Madame
Cantanille (Revue Spirit, August 1866, p.. 240), and a part of those of Swedenborg.
There is therefore a choice to do very rigorous in the ecstatic visions, before being accepted. The remedy to credulity too, from this point of view, is to study the laws that govern the spiritual world.
28 - Dreams as such have the three natures of vision described above. The first two belong to the dreams that contain predictions, premonitions and warnings (7), in the third, namely the creation of fluidic thoughts, you can find the cause of some fantastic images that have not
nothing real in relation to the material life but for the Spirit, have a reality sometimes so great that the body suffers the backlash: there have been cases in which the hair is graying, under the impression of a dream.
(7) See below, chap. 16, Theory of prescience, nn. 1, 2, 3.
These creations can be caused by the credulity enhanced by back memories, tastes, desires, passions, fear, remorse, from the usual concerns, the needs of the body, or an embarrassment in the functions of the body, and finally other spirits, for a benevolent purpose or malicious, depending on their nature (8).
