The lowest degree of the inner vision "[14] Then Agricola said to Me: “Lord and Master, do the spirits who are now passing by before us also have a shape in itself, or do they flow without form into each other like one drop of water flows into the other in the sea?” [15] I said: “My friend, it will be a little difficult to give you in this respect a completely understandable answer, but we will try it in another way. I want to open for you Romans for a few moments again the inner sight, then you can give a right answer to yourselves by what you are seeing.” [16] The Romans thought this to be a good idea, and I opened immediately their inner sight, also for Agrippa and Laius who followed us from Emmaus to this place and who were still with us. [17] Now they both saw the numerous shapes close to one another, floating before them, and Agrippa said: “Oh, this is really strange. What a great number of forms and shapes that is hard to describe. All kinds of herbs and plants can be seen, and also seeds between them. On the plants you also can see a great quantity of eggs of all kinds of insects, their larvae and also already fully-grown insects. Within these forms, in the plants as well as its seed, and also in the eggs of insects and in the larvae, but also in the forms of insects that are already fully grown out, you can see like bright points that are lightning up, and between the mentioned forms you can see an immense great number of very little bright spots that are floating with them. And all this is swarming between one another in a multicolored and lively manner, and nothing is mixing with anything else. So, are these the purer nature spirits?” [18] Then I closed the inner sight of the Romans again, and they saw again nothing else except the pure air.
[19] Then Agricola said: “Lord and Master, what kind of special purpose do those spirits actually have? Does all that for which they apparently carry the natural ability in their forms, only exist in the material world out of them or are these in a certain way the souls of deceased plants and herbs and trees and insects?” [20] I said: “The second one not, but the first one yes, in the manner you have now seen it by way of the inner sight. [21] Their intelligence that revealed itself also in the form stimulates them to unite themselves with all that which is very closely related with their own form and which already exists on this Earth. Further, they become active in the plants, and on their number and the intensity of their activity depends the abundance of one or the other harvest, as also from the number of the most various little animals, which you call little mosquitoes, insects and worms. These however are always the first animals of an earth in development, and the uniting of their souls brings the greater animals of an earth to life.” [22] Agricola said: “Lord and Master, but why could we not see any souls of people of this Earth who have already died?” [23] I said: “For 2 reasons. Firstly I have opened your inner sight to such extent that you were only able to see the nature spirits that were already passing over into matter, and this belongs to the lowest degree of the inner vision, which many simple people are possessing as a natural ability. With this degree of inner vision, the souls, especially those who are already more perfected, cannot be seen, because this kind of vision still belongs more to the material than to the pure spiritual vision. [24] However, in the second place, concerning the impure souls who you could have seen with the inner vision which was giving to you for a few moments by Me, not one of them was located on this place, and thus you also were not able to see nor observe any, because such souls can feel the place of My personal and full presence and are avoiding it very carefully. And now you know the 2 causes why at this occasion you were not able to see nor observe any deceased souls.” [25] With this explanation all Romans were completely satisfied and did not ask Me any further about such things.' (GGJ, Book 18, chp. 92) Second face (spiritual abilities of clairvoyance - The 12 hours ) 21] And so, there is nothing more noteworthy to see for us here on these frozen planes… except that in the far north against the mountain called the Ural, some extremely isolated families live, who are gifted with the second face (Tr. note: Also known as Second sight, Foresight, or visions. or oneiric visions) 22] However, this second face is not a sign of a more spiritually aware person. Instead its cause is only in a slightly more increased soul-life [or inner disposition], and is generally a property of more refined or sensitive people who are always in great need, and, therefore, desire to live In more natural isolation from the world. 23] For instance: that this second face has no relationship with spiritual awareness, can adequately explained to you; the fact is that animals are also capable of such a second face, whose individuality absolutely does not carry any spirituality in itself, except for a soul to further its development.– 24] In fact, you will now ask: which reality does it have, what presents itself visually in the second face? Not even this will be too difficult for you to solve. 25] If you are still buried in the midst of winter and snow and ice fields look at you ghoulishly from all sides, when, in addition, you are required to live in cold rooms, will you not begin to strongly yearn for spring and summer? Moreover, will not the imagination of your soul preferably occupy itself with pictorially showing you spring and summer? 26] See: this longing, as it were malleable anticipation [or plasticity] is the first step of the second face, and has its reason in the gentle, quiet ethereal moving or hushing-over of that which the soul in its repressed condition pleasantly expects. 27] Now: if someone would get much deeper, he would at least at night-time often see the situation of spring and summer pass by him like faint dream-images 28] If, however, a soul is restricted even more by suffering circumstances, an experiment happens to her through such pressure, as if the air is pressurized to a higher degree; she ignites, and steps outside the bodily sphere. 29] However, in the visible space there are also psychological effects and movements [or expressions of the soul], just as there are effects and movements of light in the wide light-expanses or space. The only difference is that the vibrations of the light can no longer propagate in a natural way other than straight, whereas the psychological effects are more similar to the vibrations of sound [or acoustic] and can propagate in all imaginable directions as well as in all imaginable curvatures with more than electrical speediness. 30] Now think of some kind of fact or actuality; no matter what kind it may be it always has three conditional components: 1) a Material [or physical], 2) a Soul or Psyche and 3) a Spiritual one. 31] As to the first condition, the fact can only be seen by the physical eyes, at the very moment it takes place, and in such a distance that can be reached with physical visionary-strength. 32] Concerning the psychic condition, you will easily realize without much contemplation that a fact must first precede in the soul before it passes over into the physical world [or the world of the body]. 33] However, if the cover [the physical body] is now removed from the soul, she can—by virtue of the psychic velocity of propagation—already observe such a fact significantly sooner; she can do this since such arrives first to the material objectivity or she can also see [or espy] an already committed fact, just as you would hear a distant reverberation or echo. 34] I will even add three small examples of the human vision [or inner sight] to this abundance. 35] First… For example: A person gifted with the second face sees an unknown corpse pass by, where the acquaintance is still completely fresh and healthy and only dies in a few months following. This takes place in the following easily comprehensible way, namely: 36] The soul of the dying person foresees the near end of her shell [the body], especially at a time when she likewise—by means of a noticeable stepping-out—examines her collapsing mature house more purely and properly. 37] In this situation, she arranges all necessary measures and ceremonies for the transition. However, at the same time the soul of another person is also in such an increased state of mind [or soul vibration], and sees the entire fact of what the soul of the other person has already predetermined. In fact, she sees all this by means of psychic [or increased soul] communication which is now known to you. - 38] You see: This is the way such things are pre-seen by the soul, just as the physical eye sees the things that just happen [in front of the physical eye]. As second example: A soul sees something happen in a far distance. 39] This inner observation or vision also takes place in the same way. For wherever people are gathered and something happens—either as spectator or as happy or unhappy participants—nothing is more natural than that such a fact is therefore immediately received by the soul- activity [or soul-life] of others; it then plants itself into the psychic sphere or the sphere of the soul in a way that is similar to a most delicate magnetic aura according to the size and type of the fact that is often several thousand hours away 40] and if a human being then finds himself in such an increased state of mind, he immediately becomes aware of such vibrations, and receives the picture through the parity of the vibrations in the same manner [in-]to his face [or the eyes of his soul]. He receives it as a kind of material picture through the parity of the vibration of the light from the outgoing object, and is then observed bodily through the physical eyes. 41] The following third example is: When a fact, in which several people will have a fatal accident, has not yet taken place. This second face is somewhat rarer, but notwithstanding it occurs as well as all the other cases. 42] This second face is to be looked at in the following way: If in special cases a soul reaches into an increased state, the [integrated] inner living spirit also awakes … although only for short periods. All facts however, are [revealed, eternally in an unalterable manner] in the spiritual condition [which is the spirit of God within us]—the past as well as the future facts. Now the vision or viewing can take place in two ways. Namely: the respective person is seeing it first out of his spirit [or in the spirit]. 43] This awareness [or phenomenon] passes [or traverses] naturally into the innermost level of the soul; as soon as the awareness has passed over into the soul, it plants itself still further—according to the laws now known to you. Now, if a person resides in an increased state of soul radiation3 131, he also sees a certain type of prognostic [or prophetic] fact in addition to all the other circumstances that are taking place, and in this awareness, this visualization of the soul is the second type of fact, which will still take place, sometime in the future. 44] That such a person is also capable of seeing souls of departed people—if those people want to, or are allowed to be seen—does not need to be mentioned any further. 45] Now see: There you have the entire nature of the second face, and you can immediately see that no additional spiritual awareness is required, because the vision or viewing of the spirit is entirely different from that of the soul. Just as the viewing of the body acts [or behaves] to the viewing of the soul, so also acts [or behaves] the viewing of the soul to the viewing of the spirit. 46] While the viewing of the physical eye can be intensified through material means, such as all sorts of optical tools, so also can the viewing of the soul be increased by those means, which correspond naturally to the soul. 47] These means are, of course: A strong unfeigned belief, a firm determination, and, in that regard—at least half of it[requires]—a spiritual awareness. Just as the psychological viewing can be raised in this way, likewise can the viewing of the spirit be strengthened into infinity; this can be done, namely by exactly those methods the great Seer taught you."
