Scarlat Demetrescu was born on 26th July 1872 in Bucharest. He was a professor of Natural Sciences and Geography, Adjunct Director of the Senate, geologist at the Geographic Institute of Romania, publicist and director of the spiritualist magazine "B.P.Hasdeu".
Besides many manuals of Botany and Zoology issued between 1913 and 1929, he published the works “Life beyond the grave” (1928); "Mistakes from other lives" (1932); "Researches on Metaphysics and Spiritism" (1933); "On the secrets of Life and Universe" (1939).
His books, fundamental works of the Spiritualist Science, have maintained their importance over the decades. I conjured Scarlat Demetrescu’s spirit to ask him for more explanations with regard to the issues posed in his book "On the secrets of Life and Universe".
Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary
- Mister Scarlat Demetrescu, please detail some notions from your books. What was the purpose of Jesus Christ’s coming on Earth ?
- Jesus is the Governor of our Solar System. Jesus Christ is the greatest idol of humankind. He revealed the universal science of spirit. He proved by His own Resurrection that everything is possible, namely there is life beyond death. Man dies, then his or her spirit passes away in heaven or hell (as they are commonly named), but one could come back, also. Put in other words, there is a perpetuum mobile between the two worlds. This cyclical phenomenon is the cycle of life and death in the Universe, or the "karmic chain". Jesus Christ is the most striking proof that one can return to this world either as a fully incarnated spirit or as a "ghost", a rarefied shape.
Jesus Christ has a few billion spirits under His command, whom He leads and guides so as they may spread over the entire Solar System. Jesus Christ knows perfectly where dwells every spirit under His orders, He knows each one’s part in the general, continuous activity of the Universe. Also, Jesus Christ places spirits on each planet of the Solar System, so that everything is perfectly organized, each planet is inhabited, and the groups of spirits have a well-regulated activity, each one knowing their role and tasks. Nothing is done in the Solar System without Jesus Christ’s acknowledgement.
After Jesus Christ’s arrival on Earth, the enlightened persons from that time understood that they were not alone anymore, and they could thoroughly trust Someone, a Ray of Light, who was Jesus Christ. The utter surprise and the strong illumination of peoples, produced by the miraculous Personality of Jesus Christ, brought a great increase of faith in God’s miracle. People from everywhere understood, once and for all, that God may send His messengers to Earth: as He once sent His Son, He can send others anytime. God had and still has many emissaries on Earth. Of all God’s Sons who came to Earth to make clear people’s duty to pray to God and obey His commands, Jesus was the most fascinating, the most thrilling and the most wonderful Personality...!
- Who is Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus ?
- Mother of God is the Mother of all illuminated spirits in the Universe, an intermediate between Jesus Christ and the illuminated spirits. Also, She makes a connection between God and His Son, Jesus. Anything Jesus does is known by the Mother of God. Anything Mother of God does is known by Jesus. Mother of God guides the scores of spirits who were women on Earth or on other planets. She manages their future incarnation, guides their activity on feminine aspects, namely She teaches them not to forget the characteristics of the gender they had when in flesh and blood. She teaches them to remember they were once mothers, and they will still be in other future lives. Mother of God takes the dead women’s feminine spirits and leaves them in care of some astral feminine spirits. Under Mother of God’s orders is Karmela, the Goddess of Dead, who is Her Daughter. Mother of God and God the Lord are ruling the whole Universe. Jesus Christ is only ruling the Solar System, and the Goddesses help Him, extending their sphere of influence over the entire Universe. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ is not limited only within the Solar System, He is in charge here, but He can also move freely in the whole Universe. The Goddesses do not rule, but influence and wisely guide all the activities within their field.
- Who takes the disembodied masculine spirits ?
- There are specific masculine entities who take the masculine spirits. Karmela corresponds to a Son of God named Josephus. He is an illuminated, noble, extremely influent spirit, Brother of Jesus and Karmela, yet almost unknown to the earthlings. He takes the masculine spirit directly from the deceased body and, along with His ministers, who are also Superior Spirits, accompany it to the Astral Realm for the proper further preparation.
The Spiritual Gender
- Which is the difference between masculine and feminine spirits ?
- Spirits are divided, according to their gender, in masculine and feminine. Having a gender does not mean to have sex organs, but to belong either to the group under Jesus Christ’s command, that is the masculine spirits, or to the group under Mother of God’s orders, that is the feminine ones. Mother of God is a feminine spirit, and Jesus Christ is a masculine spirit. God leads all the spirits.
Spirits have different tasks. The feminine spirits include in their field of interest the esthetical aspects, motherhood on Earth or on other planets, evolution of species, cultivation of talents, raising children, especially girls – which are universal activities reflected on Earth. The masculine spirits deal with the tough, martial aspects of life in the Universe and on the physical planets. They guide men on Earth, concern with the education of male virtues. Even from the astral life they are taught to manage family life and bring up boys.
The woman born with a masculine spirit has slight male characteristics, masculine qualities, and is successful in life more easily than a feminine spirit. A man with a feminine spirit is delicate, refined, of little endurance when confronting the vicissitudes of life...
- So, is this a neutral, androgynous state that people must long for ?
- A sexually neutral spirit would be ideal. But it cannot be, it would mean a "heterospirit", which is not convenient, because it would bring about a new human species, either without sex or hermaphroditic... The Androgyn is a myth, it should not be praised. It is natural to exist male and female, in whichever form to manifest. Right from the start, God imagined the female and the male, and gave them shape afterwards.
- What do you think of people who change their sex surgically ?
- Everybody is free to do what they want, however, since God let woman to be female and man to be male, what good for the surgical sex change ? It is a caprice. But, mankind goes astray towards self-destruction, and that is one more sin... A masculine spirit-born woman is free to choose her look and manner of life. She may cultivate the qualities she likes, there is no interdiction about that. And so may a feminine spirit-born man, if he wishes, cultivate the qualities he likes better.
- How can you find out the gender of your own spirit ?
- The spiritual gender can be determined by inner insight, by meditation, by praying to God to reveal your spirit’s gender. It can only be done by meditation, by self-investigation and by making use of various information sources.
- Are there any human beings working properly with both sexes in the same organism ?
On some planets they have no sex, as far as I know. That is why breeding is very difficult. They breed through other methods, like frogs or reptiles on Earth. Their anatomic constitution is specific to their planet.
- Has God a spiritual gender, too ?
- God is the Supreme Androgyn. There is no point in comparing spirits to God. Spirits are gendered, not with sexual organs, but from the psychological point of view; some have masculine features, others feminine. God is Pure Consciousness, the symbol of Transcendence, He the Supreme Divinity is in charge with all the materialization of the Universe. There is a spiritual side of the Universe, which is the Supreme Consciousness, and a material side, visible and invisible, through which His ideas, intentions take shape. God acts through spirits, who are specifically endowed and trained in different fields of activity. Yet, God can act directly, too, by His Energy Force, or His Voice, when is strictly necessary.
- In your work "On the secrets of Life and Universe" you presented a cosmic model in which God was said to be "the Central Sphere, the Laboratory of Creation", around which the 4 universes revolved. Do you wish to detail that model ?
- Yes, I remember, I used to think that way... In God’s acceptation, the Universe has "n" dimensions. Some say space has 3 dimensions, having in view the spherical spreading of the sound waves, the light waves, the energy quantums which form the thoughts. But the Universe on the whole is n-dimensional. It cannot be limited to the shape of a sphere. Around God Father, Who is not in a sphere, float "n" Universes. I do not think anymore that our God’s Universe is in the middle of the other Universes. This Universe can be placed anywhere in the n-dimensional space. There are Superior Entities on the same level as our God, or on other levels, who lead the rest of the Universes. Every Universe has "n" dimensions, different vibratory levels. By the time of physical death the spirit passes to the astral plane; since it cannot be seen by the naked eye, that means the astral matter has a higher vibration than the physical one. Hence, the 3-dimensional space is just an invention of the limited human mind.
- Thank you, mister Scarlat Demetrescu, I will call you again...
- I will answer you with pleasure !
