	{{GZ\|The other is what one can call direct intercourse with the beings of the spiritual world, concrete direct intercourse, from which we want to pick out today the intercourse that one can have from here to the so-called dead. This is something which is quite possible, but which offers greater difficulties than the first characterisation. The first characterisation is something that is easy to achieve; the other, to really communicate with individual dead people, is certainly possible, but it is difficult to achieve, because it requires attentiveness on the part of the one who seeks this communication. It is necessary for this special intercourse that the human being should really be able to discipline himself to a certain extent. For there is a very important law for intercourse with the spiritual world. This can be expressed in such a way that one says: that which for man here are more base instincts, is from the other side, seen from the spiritual side, higher life, and it can therefore be very easy, if man does not have himself properly under control, that he feels lower instincts aroused through direct intercourse with the so-called dead. If we only come into contact with the spiritual world in general, if we gain knowledge of our own immortality and have to do with the soul-spiritual, there can be no question of anything improper coming into it. But when we are dealing with individual concrete dead people, then there is always a relationship of the individual dead person - as strange as it sounds - to our blood and nervous system. The dead person lives into the instincts that live out in the blood and nervous system; this can stimulate lower drives. Of course, it can only be dangerous for those who have not purified their nature through discipline. This must be emphasised for once, for this is the reason why the Old Testament virtually forbids men to consort with the dead; not because it would be sinful, if it were done in the right way. One must, of course, refrain from the methods of modern spiritualism. If it is done spiritually, it is not sinful, but if man does not cultivate this intercourse with pure, souled thoughts, it very easily leads to man, as I have said, stirring up base passions. It is not the dead who stir them up, but the element in which the dead live. Consider: what we perceive here as animal is the basic element in which the dead live. The realm in which the dead live can very easily, by striking into us, change; it can become low in us what is actually a higher thing there. It is very important that we keep this in mind. This can certainly be said when we speak of the intercourse of the so-called living with the so-called dead, because it is an occult fact.\|182\|42f}}		{{GZ\|The other is what one can call direct intercourse with the beings of the spiritual world, concrete direct intercourse, from which we want to pick out today the intercourse that one can have from here to the so-called dead.

			{{GZ\|In the middle of the 19th century it was already a big question among occultists whether they should oppose this whole spiritualistic movement from their side. At that time they decided not to oppose it at first, because they expected - which was short-sighted - that when people saw all kinds of things coming out of the spiritual world through the medium, they would fall for the idea that there are things and forces in the world which work spiritually from one to the other. Instead, the whole of spiritualism sank into very egoistic, materialistic waters. The mediums mostly said everywhere that they were in contact with this or that dead person. They brought out all sorts of things by saying that this or that soul, which has died there or thereabouts, proclaims one thing or another through the medium. Certainly, they brought out many things. But in the vast majority of cases there was a colossal error at the bottom of it. It was that when we imagine the medium as Man I here (see drawing), we have to imagine the experimenter or hypnotist, that is, the one who arranged everything, as Man II.

			[[File:GA162 233.gif\|center\|500px\|Drawing from GA 162, p. 233]]

			Now in every human being, when he lives here, there is already in him that which is all his dead. But it rumbles below; during the waking life of the day it rumbles below in the sensual sensations. The dead human being rumbles below in the sensual sensations. Now imagine: the medium is there, the experimenter is also there. The experimenter actually transfers that which pulsates in his sensual feelings and often lower instincts - and which will then come to light when he himself will one day be dead - to the medium or to that which otherwise manifests itself in the events. Truths may be contained in them; but one must understand the whole context of what comes to light; one must not listen to the medium when he declares that what comes, what is revealed to him, are messages from the departed.

			The people who did not immediately resist spiritualism said to themselves: we will see what it is. - They actually wanted to know the effect of the living on the medium, of what lives in the living, what lives in the embodied human being, that is what they wanted to promote. The mediums have completely misunderstood this, have always believed that they are in contact with the dead. So we see how mediumship creates a connection with the other world, but a deceptive connection. Lucifer is not removed from the path of normality to mediumship, but he is drawn into it even more, the deception becomes even greater. That which is within is not detached and distributed out into the cosmic, but that which is within darkens up into the imaginary world and becomes an imaginative world. That which is thus within the human being can come from the human being himself or rise up in the human being from the influence of another human being.\|162\|232ff}}

			While the general acquaintance with the spiritual world is relatively unproblematic, intercourse with concrete dead people who are in the Kamaloka can cause greater difficulties without appropriate purification, since the lower drives can very easily be fuelled by this. What is higher life for the dead is connected with the lower drives and desires for the human being embodied on earth.

			{{GZ\|If we start from the physical plane, we have here (it is drawn) seven subdivisions of the physical plane; then would come seven subdivisions of the astral plane. Of these, the three lowest coincide with the three highest of the physical plane. We must regard the astral plan as being pushed together with the physical plane in such a way that the three uppermost sections of the physical plane are at the same time the three lowermost sections of the astral plane. We can speak of a marginal zone, that is, the one which our souls cannot leave after death, when they are still bound to the earth by desires. It is called kamaloka.\|101\|223}}
