But I submit to you that among the necessary prolegomena for philosophy and for natural science is a thorough understanding of the types of entities, and types of relations among those entities, which are disclosed to us in our perceptions of nature. The two previous lectures of this course have been mainly critical.
Those who do not admit the principle of evolution, must look at species as separate creations, or in some manner as distinct entities; and they must decide what forms of man they will consider as species by the analogy of the method commonly pursued in ranking other organic beings as species.
'Hence it is possible, says our author, 'for yet living persons to have visions of devachan, though such visions are rare and only one- sided, the entities in devachan, sighted by the earthly clairvoyant, being quite unconscious themselves of undergoing such observation. This is an erroneous and incorrect assumption on the Guru's part.
He told her that during a recent trip to a family event, he saw that his aunt and uncle had been using their psychic powers all along to make him deathly ill and to try to kill him. He told her that I had been sending him a great deal of Negative Psychic Energy and that, in response, he had been sending me Entities so my life would be "miserable on a daily basis."
These entities may be called "souls" in one sense, and are living beings of a low degree of development, life, and mind just a little more than the units of "living energy" which comprise the higher sub-divisions of the highest Physical Plane.
What people said or thought of his fixed opinion on a subject was not of the least consequence, in fact did not exist; the entities of the persons who cavilled at such opinions themselves ceased to exist, so far as he was concerned.

The fishermen who witnessed the occurrence, and from whom the reports thereof spread among the people, not understanding the nature of occult manifestations, thought that He was addressing the winds as actual entities, rebuking them and bidding them cease their vicious work, and soothing the sea in the same manner.
Although the essential life of the world is considered from a more abstract point of view, yet the mythical analogy of animal life evidently finds a place in the breath of the void and of time, assumed to be independent entities.
Objects of perception are contrasted, in the discussions concerning realism, rather with psychical states on the one hand and matter on the other hand than with the all-inclusive whole of things. The question we have therefore to consider is the question as to what can be meant by assigning "reality" to some but not all of the entities that make up the world.
These entities have the appearance of distorted caricatures of the objects with which the individual had formerly become acquainted through his senses.
