Torture

Is it possible to be more precise about what happens to the sheaths due to torture, ending in death or not? Is the ego more bound to the physical body? Is the astral body too deeply impressing on the etheric? Is the etheric cut off from its own life forces?

Many sufferers of torture and abuse dissociate to cope with their unbearable situation. What happens to the sheaths during this dissociation? Does the ego withdraw so that the unbearable pain is not felt? If so, “who” digests the pain instead of the ego? What being holds the “experiencing” of the torture? What are the further implications of this dissociation for the remaining life of the individual involved? What can bring about a reunification of the individual with their complete life narrative? What does it mean for the “I” to have lost continuity of its incarnational experience?

Is torture and severe abuse, in this sense, an attack on the ”I,” –an asuric assault?

Human actions that are evil and are also freely carried out–these are deeds of evil that require quick transformation, and also social healing. In the face of pure evil, a man cannot fight alone; he must have helpers both incarnate and disincarnate at his side. When two or more gather in His name, much can be redeemed. We are our brother’s keeper. May we bring both compassion and clarity to those who suffer! May we be willing to take up the karma of another! May we cultivate the selflessness that allows the better good for the community to arise! And may we commit to the deeds and processes through time that are required to bring about true social healing!
