Do
Me a Favour
After
I’m Dead,
Please
Don’t Call Me Back
With
a Séance
Being
called back with a séance is like being
Knocked
out of bed at
To
go down five flights of stairs in the freezing cold
in your pyjamas to answer the phone.
And
when you pick the phone up you can’t hear anything.

Going into the after death states or Kama Loka, the individual
will find their own level on the astral planes fairly quickly and that will be
the point from which they start their movement up through the planes to the
second death or state of bliss known as Devachan.
For those who have lived a particularly materialistic life or
have developed negative characteristics, this movement up through the divisions
as material attributes dissolve can be a long hard slog. Most of us will make
steady but sometimes difficult progress.
As one moves up the astral levels, the material aspects of the
previous life personality dissolve to allow this upward progress. Unfortunately
some residue of material attachment may remain for a time.
When a séance is conducted, it acts as a magnet drawing the individual
back toward the physical plane. If the individual has progressed beyond a certain
level then they will be beyond reach and not be affected. On the other hand for
someone on the lower levels of the astral plane or higher up and still with
some residue of material attachment, the result is that they will be drawn back
to the astral level closest to the physical. This is unpleasant and they won’t
appreciate it.
Not only do séances tend to traumatize some of those in Kama
Loka, but no actual direct contact is usually made on either side. Although in
exceptional cases there can be contact between those on the physical plane and those
in Kama Loka (not always benign) those present at a séance will pick up an
imprint of the old personality from the astral plane. This can be impressive
and sometimes questions may be answered or at least appear to be.
If not beyond reach, the individual in Kama Loka will certainly
know that someone is trying to contact them and may have an impression of who
it is. As soon as the pull of the séance ceases, the individual moves quickly
back to their appropriate position.
Intense and prolonged grief can also have the effect of drawing
an individual back toward the physical plane.
