Nizida
The astral light : an attempted exposition of certain occult principles in nature, with some remarks upon modern spiritism
by Nizida. – 2nd ed. – London : Theosophical Publishing House, 1892. – xv, 148 p. ; 19 cm.
Contents: Chapter I. The Astral Light: its character, powers, effects: its universality as an Agent ; Chapter II. Man’s responsibility for his own salvation the law of his existence since the evolution of his reason. The gradual change in the condition of the Astral Light from the presence of sin in the world ; Chapter III. Evil an abstract principle until embodied by man. Nature a mirror in which is reflected every stage of evolution from the lower kingdoms to the higher, which do not exist, except in Divine Thought, until they have been evolved. Nature the great Matrix, Mother, Nurse, and Educator of Humanity ; Chapter IV. Evil of life impossible when the Soul, endowed with spiritual prescience, clear-seeing of causes and effects, knows beforehand the consequences of evil. Human life having attained this stage of evolution, Evil is left upon the earth like the exuviæ of winged insects risen into the upper air. From this removal or dissipation of vitiated auras the Astral Light becomes clearer, and restored to its normal placidity, serenity, and buoyancy ; Chapter V. The psycho-magnetic currents established by man’s perverse will on the plane of earth, becoming more and more dense, stagnant, and suffocative to souls, Nature breaks them up by convulsive efforts; the Earth going through throes of anguish whilst trying to right the springs of life for her inhabitants; and Death comes upon the scene clothed in greater terror than ever. His victims number thousands, who perish miserably, crushed by earthquakes; suffocated by pent-up gases suddenly liberated; drowned in overwhelming floods, or burned to death by gigantic fires. Or man, in his turn, after long chafing under the restraints of tyranny, and injustice, himself starts those currents of will-forces which drag the demon of War from his lair; and impelled by the madness with which he fills minds, nation falls upon nation; the dead lie strewn upon the earth; wretchedness and ruin brood where peace and prosperity should smile, and sorrow is the guest of every mind ; Chapter VI. Periods of mental stagnation, apathy, and decay, succeed each other at certain stages of race-evolution; when if old habits of thought, old conventional forms of religious belief and imperfect methods of government did not pass away, progression would be impossible, and mankind would sink into senility, stupor, and death. The causes of renewed impulse which spontaneously arise in society are various, and are palpable evidences of the gradual and sure mental evolution going on behind the scenes, upon the astral plane of soul-life, whence reforms and improvements, upon a constantly ascending scale, are worked out upon the external plane ; Chapter VII. Nature is ever re-adjusting the equilibrium of forces. This is the activity of life, and by this means not only is the atmospheric air purified and rendered fit to support life; but the inner, ethereal atmosphere is also subject to similar laws for the preservation of the soul’s life. Hence the stagnation or fixity of that in which movement alone is life, must be broken up, changed, and again set in motion by the action of the law of contraries.
