The Human Soul
Its Movements, Its Lights, and the Iconography of the Fluidic Invisible
Dr. H. Baraduc
Lights of the Human Soul
LI. Plate of the invisible.
Explanation LI. — Iconography of the invisible, electro-negative method. The glass face plate is greased with badger fat and placed on a small mahogany table previously magnetised, with appeal to a deceased person, the plate is positive.
An energetic fluidic current was produced, which attracted an unknown soul form, with its two planes, and a single plane for the animal souls.
Apparition of animal souls and of an irritated human soul. As a collection of movements, this is a very nice experiment.
(Plate positive, with apparatus, with electricity with the hand.)
LII. Icone of the hereafter.
Explanation LII. — The plate is covered with badger grease on the underneath face: It is placed on a table with glass legs.
Appeal to the invisible: "that something may come."
Positive plate of the hereafter.
The icone represents on the right side, the image, the shadow of M.D. concierge, dead from an open abscess in the peritoneum. I was able to have a sketched portrait of M.D. and verify de visu, that my memory had served me well. This form is the shadow, the spectre of M.D. magnetised by me.
LIII. Spontaneous iconograph.
Explanation LIII. — The spontaneous iconography is the first, in order of date, that I obtained. I detached it from the rest of the negative. It reminds me of the whole form and the details of Mme. G., a friend of my family.
(Without electricity, without apparatus, without the hand, with magnet.)
LIV. Icone of a form, hands clasped in prayer.
Explanation LIV. — This icone represents a form, the hands clasped as in prayer: it is purely white and does not represent the material side, the black face. It came spontaneously in the corner of a plate on which I had projected an image, the portrait of Mme. A.
Spontaneous electro-negative form, which represents not her own form, but the drawing I made of her on her deathbed.
(Negative and positive plate, without apparatus, with electricity, with the hand.)
LV. Differentiation of phenomenon at the two poles.
Explanation LV. — In February 1896 two plates, the glass face of which was smeared by the hand with badger fat, are placed at the north pole of a large magnet, sensitive face upwards. They remain there 36 consecutive hours, in the dark without red light. The magnet has 12 blades.
State of soul: I desire to have the differentiation of the phenomena at the two poles.
Observations: numerous subtile black points on the plate of the north pole, intentionally grouping themselves to form the large form, of which one sees the eyes, the nose, and the open mouth.
LVI. Groupings of cosmic Od.
Explanation LVI. — Same conditions at the north pole plate greased by the hand. 48 hours during the night and day.
State of soul: I desire something to be produced.
A very well defined form, the eyes on the upper part, surrounded by a nimbus of swiftness.
The phenomenon is spontaneous: to produce these groupings of cosmic Od, a spontaneous determinism is necessary.
LVII. Form of a dead person.
Explanation LVII. — Same conditions. Ash Wednesday, 1896.
Clear form of a young person dead for some months.
These spontaneous experiments show that with a certain favourable arrangement, the spirit of a living as well as a dead person may use the cosmic od, entities inferior to him, soul germs, black points, to modulate a form, to give an image, a psychicone of the hereafter, like one projects one's own psychicone here-below.
LVIII. The vital particles.
Explanation LVIII. — Reply to a question asked of the invisible, relative to the vital particles.
(With static electricity, without apparatus, with right hand).
LIX. Iconograph of bulb of light and of intelligence.
Explanation LIX. — This iconography obtained in October 1894, by electric method in the dark. This pear-shaped bulb of light and of intelligence is a large luminous olive. It is the exact resemblance of the tongues of fire described as the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, as well as the bulbs of fire of certain spirit manifestations.
LX. Light life of the Word.
Explanation LX. — This iconography of the light life of the Word was obtained in the dark, with red light, by the electro-negative method, called appeal, by N.P. and myself, our three hands joined in front of the plate without photographic instruments.
Demand, desire of having a sign of our animistic trinity, re-united by a single feeling of pure affection.
On developing, three whirlwinds of fine vitalo-psychic force, of universal psychod being amalgamated, owing to the intermediary whirlwind causing a node. The whole forms a complete trinity, our unity united and re-made: such is the phenomenon comprehensible by a few human spirits, others too absorbed in the first material plane.
LXI. The descent of the Spirit.
Explanation LXI. — Photography with neither light nor electricity, of N. and P. at 5 feet from the lense in red dimness. After the preparations, electric light which was finally turned off. Pose 10 minutes.
State of soul: prayer, meditation, appeal to the universal spirit.
Result: on the left side of the group, descent of fine tongues in the form of feathers. It is a projection of horizontal tongues or from top to bottom.
The importance of this plate is capital, it is the experimental proof of the reply of the psychestasis, ascending towards the Spirit; it is the universal shower, the illumination of the proven prayer, the descent of the Spirit.
