"The majority of people whose minds have not become perverted by the insane doctrines of a false and superficial science, or by the superstitious doctrines presented by modern priestcraft under the guise of religion, believe that the spiritual condition of man is one into which they will enter after the hand of death has dissolved the bonds which chain the spirit to its earthly tabernacle; but occult science proves that such condition may be arrived at even during terrestrial life. Moreover, if we desire to continue to exist in a high spiritual state after the death of the physical body, we should attempt to enter that state even during our terrestrial life; for death is merely a throwing off of that which has become useless: it can work no miracles, nor endow us with any attributes which we have not legitimately attained by our own evolution while in the physical state.
