After death man is exactly the same as before. One has the same feelings, the same desires, the same hopes, the same fears. Our condition in the Astral world after"death" depends entirely on how we are living now. The object of the Astral world, in which the departed normally spend from 5 to 40 years is to quiten down and to exhaust the lower selfish emotions and desires, from the force poured into them during life. They have to die out from mere want ef nourishment, the man possessing no more the physical body for their gratification. Thus man prepares for himself at times & miserable time there, if he has allowed his appetites to become strong. But the suffering will not last for ever. The Law of Divine Love and Justice pervades all worlds. He will finally drop his astral body and become conscious of the mental world, which is a caddition of unalloyed bliss, where he changes into intellectual and moral faculties all the mental and SIR moral experiences through which he has passed whilst in the physical body. Ac- cording to the amount of such experiences and their intensity will be his stay in the mental world, which greatly varies, general, man is driven back into physical life by desire for more experience alter 300-700 years, or much longer for ad- vanced men.

Eudden death from accident is again quite a different thing, and has no special consequences for the victim, unless death overtook him, at a point when the emotions and tower desires had not yet been controlled to a moral extent.
We were told the tale of several Alexander Johns, and we heard also of fucky books-for example, Fitzgerald's Omar Khayyam, which nobody heard of till Rosetti found it in the 4d, box of secondhand stall. But writers have, as a rule, such luck as they deserve. "The story of the neglected genius." said Mr. Adcock is more romantic then real."
