SUDDEN EMOTIONS.
Some of these produce most striking results in
the astral body—results which are well worth
careful study. For instance, by turning to
Plate XL, we shall see an attempt to picture
the effect which is visible when a sudden wave
of strong and perfectly pure affection sweeps
over a person—when, for example, a mother
snatches up her baby and covers it with kisses.
In a moment the astral body is thrown into
violent agitation, and the original colours are for
the time almost obscured. In this, as in all these
cases, the astral body of the ordinary person, as
given in Plate X., is taken as a basis or back-
ground, though during the passage of the violent
emotion, but little is seen of it. If the change
introduced in Plate XL is analysed it will be
found to consist of four separate parts. Certain
coils or vortices of vivid colour are to be seen,
well-defined and solid-looking, and glowing with
an intense light from within. Each of these is
