Episode notes
The Imaginal As An Objective Bandwidth
- The imaginal realm is a subtler, coexisting dimension that interpenetrates our physical world and is objectively real.
- It isn't mere personal fantasy and serves as a shared, causative bandwidth beyond ordinary senses.
Subtle Realms Have Causal Power
- Subtle beings and experiences (angels, visions) can manifest objectively into our world when perceivers' awareness opens.
- These subtle realms also have causal power to produce phenomena in the physical world.
Two Ways People Perceived Theophane's Passing
- Cynthia recounted Father Theophane's funeral where some perceived his living presence while others saw only a corpse.
- The difference traced to each perceiver's state and the 'tincture' of his remaining vital energy.
