ANTHROPOLOGY %1 



Intimately connected with the sidereal body is the 

 Evestrum and the Trarames. In regard to these, 

 Paracelsus says in his " Piiilosophia ad Athenienses " : 

 " To speak of the Evestrum in its mortal and immortal 

 aspects, we may say that everything has an Evestrum, 

 and that it is like a shadow seen upon a wall. The 

 Evestrum comes into existence, and grows with the 

 body, and remains with it as long as a particle of 

 the matter composing the latter exists. The Evestrum 

 originates contemporaneously with the first birth of each 

 form, and everything, whether it be visible or invisible, 

 whether it belongs to the realm of matter or to the 

 realm of the soul,^ has its Evestrum ; but Trarames 

 means an invisible power that begins to be able to 

 manifest itself at a time when the senses of the inner 

 perception become developed. The Evestrum indicates 

 future events by causing visions and apparitions, but 

 Trarames causes an exaltation of the senses. Only those 

 who are gifted with great wisdom may understand the 

 true nature of Evestrum and Trarames. The Evestrum 

 influences the sense of sight ; Trarames the sense of 

 hearing. The Evestrum causes dreams foreshadowing 

 future events ; Trarames communicates with man by 

 causing voices to speak, music to sound that may be 

 heard by the internal ear, invisible bells to ring, &c.^ 

 Whenever a child is born, there is born with him an 

 Evestrum, which is so constituted as to be able to 

 indicate in advance all the future acts and the events 

 in the life of the individual to whom it belongs. If 



invisible powers is known to all who have examined the phenomena of 

 Modern Spiritism ; but no scientific researcher will ever discover how 

 this is done as long as he does not believe in the existence of Elementals, 

 in regard to which little is publicly known. 



^ According to the teachings of the Eastern Adepts, each of the seven 

 principles of man may again be subdivided into seven, and each soul has 

 therefore a sevenfold constitution. In other words, each of the seven 

 qualities contains also the other six. {See Jacob Boehme.)
