“Mr. B. Keightley: I suppose you could only say it was the centre of consciousness in Akasa?
Mme. Blavatsky: Now what has Akasa to do with it? Neither Akasa, nor ether, nor air has anything to do with it. It is simply a state of consciousness. It is a state, and not a locality.
Mr. Kingsland: But it is an individualized state of consciousness.
Mme. Blavatsky: Yes, for a person that is in a Devachanic condition. My Devachan won’t be yours, and yours won’t be mine. It is that a person dies and suddenly finds itself in Devachan, where the separation of the principles takes in a moment – or several days or weeks or months. All this depends upon the previous life of the personality, on the statement, on the degree of intellectuality, on the degree of everything.
Mr. Burrows: Then if Mr. Smith has Mrs. Smith there, it does not follow of necessity that Mrs. Smith has got Mr. Smith?
Mme. Blavatsky: Yes. If Mr. Smith loved her he would have Mrs. Smith, but if he did not, he won’t even remember her.
Mr. Burrows: But suppose Mrs. Smith did not love him.
Mme. Blavatsky: That is another thing.
Mr. Burrows: He will have her, and she won’t have him.
Mme. Blavatsky: It is that which we loved. In Devachan there is a perfect oblivion of everything that was disagreeable or that caused any pain, or of anything but an eternal bliss – which must be, by the way, exceedingly monotonous and stupid.
Mrs. Besant: It is really, then, the fruition of our desires.
Mme. Blavatsky: All the aspirations you had which were unsatisfied, all that which you could not have here through divers circumstances, you will have in Devachan. You will have all your desires realized, everything that you loved and could not have – perhaps that from which you are separated – but spiritually; nothing that pretends to the earth. For instance, if you had some vicious love or something like that, you will have nothing of the kind there.
Mr. Burrows: Supposing three or four people had the same desire.
Mme. Blavatsky: Every one of them will have it, so long as it is not vicious. Now, for instance, a man who drank himself to death will certainly not have his whiskey there.
Mrs. Besant: It is only Buddhi-Manas that goes.”
