Life and labor in the spirit world: Being a description of localities, employments, surroundings, and conditions in the spheres.
Longley, Mary T. (Mary Theresa)
Spirit writings; Spirits
Our places where health is sought and found are not great gloomy
buildings where dozens of individuals live, where perhaps no two of them
are alike in temperament, constitution, and habits, but where all must
undergo the same amount and quality of discipline and treatment; but
they are large gardens, beautifully laid out with beds of flowers, banks
of moss, pebbly walks, and groves of trees, where birds sing and
sparkling waters leap and play; where the glad sunshine is felt by all,
and where life is untrammeled, free and happy; or in shady woods where
nature invites man to partake of the quiet, calm, and tranquility of her
forest nooks. And I know of such bright homes of rest, where the
sparkling sea surges and beats upon shining sands, and others that are
built upon the mountain sides, where the atmosphere is strong, clear,
and bracing. The houses are small, light, and airy, furnished with
deference to taste as well as utility; they are at short distances from
each other and separated by garden plots of flowers, groves of trees,
etc., as the particular section of country decides. Only one weak,
enfeebled, diseased spirit dwells in each house at a time, but he or she
is an inmate of a home where two or more healthy, happy, industrious
spirits reside; these vigorous ones are the attendants and teachers of
the patient, and their presence, care, and example impart strength,
health, and happiness to the one under their charge, while at the same
time he or she is learning those lessons of life of which they were
deprived while on the earth, but which are requisite to the upbuilding
and outrounding of every intelligent, progressive soul.
