Many of you know that we all have a ``Higher Self```which is the highest principle within us all .It is our true Self and is the witness of our many incarnations. All that we have ever known,experienced,dreamed ,learned ,and so on is stored up within the living angelic principle we know as the Higher Self.
This Higher Self is projecting a ray from it`s own essence down into terrestrial existence and its slow evolutionary development ,and the goal for that divine being that sits deep within us all is making the sou less forms that have been weaved by nature herself into true thinking men with the knowledge of good and evil ,and with the capacity of developing mindborn reflections of itself and to spiritualize matter to evolve the ``Son``,or Christ principle and to take up our residency within the primitive soul-less forms and to endow them with Self Awareness as individualized being who`s eyes are now opened to the knowledge of Good and Evil. For those who have intuition will know that I am writing here about the legend of the ``Fallen Angels``which was no result of any ``rebellion``,but an act of a Great Sacrifice on the part of those Mind Born Angelic Beings of who in fact are our Higher Selves.
I am not permitted to write any further upon this mysterious mystery, but leave it as food for thought for those who`s intuition can grasp this enigma known and reserved by the initiates alone.

After one has discarded the physical body at death one remains upon the astral planes and still lives out their life much the same way as they did while living on earth ,but minus the physical body. With the physical body discarded one is left in a state of psychic astral emotional phenomena in the same way as was on earth but now ever so vivid and animated and heightened much more than was the case on earth.
In time the astral-emotional body is as well discarded and the soul is left in the higher mental body as it ascends into Devachan leaving all memory of earth life with its many personalities behind and to find itself reborn into a state of pure unalloyed bliss, and to have the chance to express its highest and most lofty aspirations of a high order that it could not while on earth. The Higher Soul-Ego can remain in this state for many eons until it has exhausted its merit and reward and begins to feel the need to return and be reborn on earth once again to work out the divine Plan for human evolution.

As the Higher Self rises into Devachan with its higher principles it leave behind a sort of shell ,or shady echo of its last incarnation, which is the animal- ego, which will dissipate over time and re-emerge within Kama-Loka to be broken down into its rightful element.
These mindless shells that are known as earth walkers ,or shadow people is what is left behind after the soul has vacated its earthly body.
In the case of some one who was very wicked and depraved, and who`s point of focus was in the animal passions, will have to exhaust their animal passions in the Bardo state and remain earthbound for sometimes hundreds of years, in or out of incarnation . This is the heavy fate that will descend upon all those who do not aspire any higher than the lower animal passions ,or those who are wicked and depraved beyond redemption as far as the greater cycle is concerned.

``Shadow people`` ,or ``earth walkers`` are therefore the Kama-loka shells [ spooks ] that remain earthbound to suffer avichi which is a lust that can not be fulfilled due to the fact that at some points along the way they have no physical body to enjoy their depraved appetites ,and will seek out those of kindred vibration who are in a physical body and so attach themselves to their organs and try to vampirize others who share in the same depraved delights they did while they were in the body.
