در زندگی زخم‌هايی هست که مثل خوره در انزوا روح را آهسته می‌خورد و می‌تراشد . اين دردها را نمی‌شود به کسی اظهار کرد , چون عموما عادت دارند که اين دردهای باورنکردنی را جزو اتفاقات و پيش‌آمدهای نادر و عجيب بشمارند و اگر کسی بگويد يا بنويسد , مردم بر سبیل عقاید جاری و عقايد خودشان سعی می‌کنند آن را با لبخند شکاک و تمسخرآميز تلقی کنند . زیرا بشر هنوز چاره و دوائی برایش پیدا نکرده و تنها داروی آن فراموشی توسط شراب و خواب مصنوعی به وسیله افیون و مواد مخدره است- ولی افسوس که تاثیر این گونه دارو ها موقت است و به جای تسکین پس از مدتی بر شدت درد می‌افزاید . آیا روزی به اسرار این اتفاقات ماوراء طبیعی , این انعکاس سایه روح که در حالت اغما و برزخ بين خواب و بیداری جلوه می کند کسی پی خواهد برد؟
There
are
certain
sores
in
life
that
,
like
a
canker
,
gnaw
at
the
soul
in
solitude
and
diminish
it
.
Since
generally
it
is
the
custom
to
attribute
these
incredible
sufferings
to
the
realm
of
rare
and
singular
accidents
and
happenings
,
it
is
not
possible
to
speak
about
them
to
others
.
If
one
does
talk
or
write
about
them
,
people
pretend
to
accept
them
with
sarcastic
remarks
and
dubious
smiles
.
In
reality
,
however
,
they
follow
prevalent
beliefs
and
their
own
ideas
about
them
.
The
reason
is
that
these
pains
do
not
have
a
remedy
.
The
only
remedy
is
forgetfulness
induced
by
wine
,
or
artificial
sleep
induced
by
opium
and
other
narcotics
.
Unfortunately
,
the
effect
of
these
drugs
is
transitory
.
After
a
while
,
instead
of soothing , they add to the pain . Will it be possible that some day someone would penetrate the secret of these supernatural happenings and recognize these reflections of the shadow of the soul that manifest themselves in a coma-like limbo between sleep and wakefulness ?
