Reviews for Unseen Forces
7 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Short, simple, and straight to the point . How can one ask the Father to dwell within and grant him his desires without first preparing his temple? Great reminder of the part we must play in Creation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great read, we must have the right thoughts, right action and right attitude should we ever want to seek illumination, the dweller must be dead and the spirit man must rise to God.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Clear and concise.
Well written.
Easy to pick up.
Hard to put down.
Beware the dweller.
Kick his ass.
Love supreme.

CHAPTER I—THE CHILDREN OF THE ELEMENTS
The ancient philosophers peopled the elements of Nature with races and species unheard of by the average individual. The wise men of all ages claimed that Nature works through intelligent forces, and not through mechanical laws. Upon this hypothesis has been built the doctrine of the Nature Spirits and elemental larvae. Paracelsus, called the Swiss Hermes and the first great physician of modern times, has given us the most complete analysis of these strange creatures who live, move, and have their being unseen and unrealized by mortal man. Though daily we see their works, we have never learned to know the workers who, day and night, function through Nature’s finer forces.
These elemental spirits may be divided into three groups: (1) The elementals of the four elements or ethers, which we commonly know as the Nature Spirits. (2) The man created elementals of the astral and mental planes. (3) The Dweller on the Threshold, or the individual elemental.
THE FOUR ELEMENTS
According to ancient doctrines, the tangible universe is composed of four principal elements. These four elements are under the rulership of the Lords of Form, sometimes referred to as the four headed Cherubim. The four headed Cherubim which stood at the gates of the Garden of Eden; the four headed Cherubim, which with its brother creation, knelt upon the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant; the four beasts of the Apocalypse; the four aspects of the great Assyrian sphinx; the Babylonian man bull—all are symbolic of these four primal elements.
From time immemorial, man has divided form into four basic essences. These four essences are the basis of all things cognizable by human material body centers of consciousness. All things superior to these four essences can be cognized only by spiritual vision. All the numerous
