ASTRAL FLUID
The magnetizer imparts strength from the abundance of his strength. The medium exhales the life principle to depletion, and, in the loss Sustained, insensibly draws upon the force of others. The medium is emphatically a “Sensitive." Every nerve is laid bare, every pore is a conductor of thie too rapidly ebbing life fiuid. When the brain is sinall, and the generative power of this life fluid is waak (the brain being its source), the intellectual faculties are limited and dull; the mind, incapable of drawing from the brain, becomes in. active, and the nature is solid and unimpassioned. It is from such types as these that the superficial remark has arisen, that media should be, or always are, “very passive," unintellectual persons. These, however, are only one type of the class. A great many persons, highly charged with the Austrl fluid, and losing it in such rapid streams as to constitute them good media ums, are in consequence exceedingly sensitive, restlessly nervous, and susceptible to every influeuce they come in contact with. The life principle flows off all too rapidly through their tissues, leaving them irritable, weak and despoiled.
As nature abhors a vacuum, these organisms necessarily attract the Astral spirits of all things and persons around them, hence others in their presence often experience a sensible diminution of strength, whilst the media themselves are frequently affected painfully or pleasurably by the mere approach of certain individuals, realising also the special influences
