PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINES
Lecture at Blavatsky Hall by Abbott
B. Clark


Blavatsky hall. 525 West Fifth street,
was we'll filled last night by large au-
dience to listen to a lecture by Abbot.
B. Clark ON After Death--What? This,
the speaker said. is subject on which
any man can obtain more or less infOr-
nation according to the time or atten-
tion given to it's consideration, but 1t
has been invested with altogether too
many doubts and terrors by our general
state of materialism and by the almost
entire loss of the esoteric or occult
meaning of Christianity and the substi-
tuition of unnatural theology and it's i'm
aginary hell.
According to Theosophy the real man
or soul Is essentially a spiritual being
and hence Internationally immortal, but
the ordinary mind of man, the brain
mind, is only immortal in proportion as
it is spiritual. Heaven or hell are not
places, but are conditions within us,
whether in or out of the body.
AS the ether pervades all space, so
man has an ethereal or astral body which
is the counterpart of his physical en-
velope. This body is the seat of sensa-
ton and the link of communication be-
tween the physical and superphysical
states. By means of meditation on high
spiritual ideals this astral body becomes
purified and eventually becomes the We
hicle for the real ngln, especially If he
lives life of purity and altrusm; so
that in time man may consciously en-
joy the bliss of the heavenly state even
in the body. Heaven and hell being
states of consciousness, do not depend
on sentimental belief, but are indeed re-
alitieS and the inevitable effects of our
life and thought, and depend upon char
acter, not belief; upon deed, not creed"

the cause of there being so many

that marriageable young men in Cape
