From Blue and red light: or, Light and its rays as medicine; showing that light is the original and sole source of life, as it is the source of all the physical and vital forces in nature and that light is nature’s own and only remedy for disease by Seth Pancoast, 1877.

When we sleep our astral body separates from the etheric body, only connected with the silver cord. When we wake again the two bodies connects again and in that short time before they are joined fully, the dreams are transferred from the astral body to volatile memory in the etherbody.
When the two bodies are rightly joined we have no spiritual access to the astral world, but for some people the two bodies don’t join fully, there is a rift between them which can be used by natural clairvoyants or there can be created a rift through drugs or other means.

Dialectics: Being-Nothing-Becoming
