And now after this short report of the spacial men, I will say, my brothers let ask not: Really? Was return any body from the other one world? Because we all people, daily go in the heavenly world when sleep, and return us at awakening! Thank God! Amen!

Establishing that the all world dream, the terrestrial scientist try let explain only through the prism of the chemical body and that the cerebral system want not let sleep and to created fancies, dreams, which are non-realities. And yet, the non-reality supposed was a complete reality. Was a real meeting between two spirits, the one from embodied world and the other one from the heavenly world.

The images will restore all the spirit's intention. All will be registered in the embodied spirit's perispirit, spirit externalized in the time of the chemical body's sleep. In the morning, immediately after awakening, the man himself has a vague remembrance about the his brother with which to stood and spoke on the bank to one water, or in a field, but forgotten many details.

Let's take a case. The man is asleep, viz the spirit is emerged from body. From space to arrived the his unembodied brother, which for to be known take the human shape - had in the earthly life, dressed so how he was knew of the asleep man. The free spirit will speaks, as any spirit viz will emit waves-thoughts combined with the his image and even can create in the his round image a little decor: a chamber, a field, an water-course; moving himself and speaking in this decor.

The dream is not than a cinema house and a broadcasting stations. The chemical body(of flesh) has the his functions, the his physiology. The body of spirit= the perispirit has an another constitution, has an other mode of working. Therefore, exist two sorts of physiologies. When the spirit it embody, these two physiologies it superpose. After what had externalized, being complete free in space, the spirit has only the spiritual function.

Although the life seem that it drain without none continuity, between the your world and the our world, the truth is that between the bodily life in state of wake and the life of free soul is a continuous running, without the more small interruption, because between these worlds joined one with another one, exist an indisoluble bundle which can not be unbinded or interrupted!.

The state of dream appear towards day when the vital body is in body, and the soul with the his perispirit is in outside. The dream can has place and in the time of day when we sleep. The soul roaming through environs, the man begin let dream. He will see landscapes from different countries and regions, will speaks with other souls, but at aweakening all will be forgotten. This is the rule.

The ethereal double or the vital body was drawed out from body for to be loaded with electrical ether, grace whom the vital body will can lead 12 hours the body's functions in the next day. Once what was loaded, the vital body is introduced in the chemical body and the soul himself will continue the his study, meditations and conversations with the spacial world.
