Esoteric Lesson

The first state is that of a feeling of unease, a feeling of unease that seems to arise without any reason, that finds a reason in every little thing and that can degenerate into such intensity that the whole nature of a person can appear transformed. In this case, we are dealing with beings that belong to the hierarchy of the primordial forces, which are healing beings when they remain in their own domain; but when they step outside their domain, into the hierarchy of the spirits of form, they work to our detriment. They are called “spirits of heaviness,” and they are the ones who help us wake up, pulling us down to the earthly realm. This often gives us that feeling of heaviness and sluggishness when we wake up. But if we add to this a feeling of discontent, then these spirits have a negative effect on us and make everything difficult and dark for us. They then act on the physical body and fill it with heaviness, so that one feels as if one is chained to the earth. If the ego does not resist this and does not sense the dangers that threaten it, then these spirits also dominate our ego; the person becomes powerless and falls into hypochondria. Everyone knows how difficult hypochondria is to cure. This illness always points to an effect from a previous life as an esoteric, because it cannot arise in one incarnation. When the spirits of heaviness have taken hold of us in this way, it manifests itself in illnesses of the lower abdomen and the digestive organs.
