"Those approaches that utilize machines on your level are considered antithetical and anti-ethical to Risen Scientists in the higher vibrating spheres.   Some scientists from Earth bring their machine co-dependence with them, felt to be a necessary symbiotic component by their ego-self. Although the ego-self can no longer be sustained indefinitely in their new Risen reality, these recently arrived scientists continue to act as if the ego-self still lives, and also proceed as if unconscious about its dominance in their new existence, as they did in their former lives on earth. Old habits are hard to release. They continue to build and 'improve' their machines here. They still believe in and invest energy into attempting to obtain measurements with their thought-objects, or machines.

Their notions of measurement have no lasting validity in their present transitioned state, although they either cannot or will not accept this."

THE LOVELY BONES

The Harmonial Philosophy: A Compendium and Digest of the Works of Andrew Jackson Davis. London: Rider, 1917.

"DIAKKA" was a term used by Andrew Jackson Davis to signify wicked, ignorant, or undeveloped spirits.

Davis believed that at death no sudden or violent change takes place in the character and dis-position of an individual.

Those who were mischievous, unprincipled, or lascivious during their lives remained so, for a time at least, after they died.

The American Spiritualist Hudson Tuttle stated, "As the spirit enters the spirit world just as it leaves this, there must be an innumerable host of low, undeveloped, uneducated, or in other words, evil spirits."

Davis believed there was a special sphere or plane for these diakka where they were put on probation. He said they were responsible for the fraud and trickery often witnessed at séances; they not only deceived the sitters, but the medium as well.

Davis believed the way to avoid their influence is to live a pure, refined, and religious life, for these evil spirits are naturally attracted to those whose minds most resemble their own.
