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
No prison cells, no hospital wards, no massive walls where the mentally
diseased languish in pain, are to be found in the spirit world; but as
God’s sunshine, and air, his flowers and singing birds, are free to all,
they are there provided for the welfare and pleasure of any and every
soul, and have proved to be the means of restoring to life, health, and
happiness many poor, pain-stricken, suffering human beings.
My experiences in the spirit world have taught me that all crime, all
unkindness of feeling, all selfishness, all misery of men, are diseases
which need to be eradicated from the human system, and if they cannot
become obliterated here, the time will surely come in the spiritual
world when they will be eliminated.
These unpleasant and unfortunate conditions of which I write are the
correspondence of the physical ailments with which man is assailed, and
I believe the time will come when they will be recognized by mortals as
diseases, and proper measures taken to repress and overcome them.
IMPROVED MEDICAL TREATMENT ON EARTH.
As all things have their origin in the spiritual, and as ideas of
practical import are given to mortals through and from the silent yet
potential inspiration of the spirit, I believe the time will come when
individuals on earth will be impressed and imbued with ideas of medical
treatment, and the establishing of sanitariums similar to those which
already exist in the beyond, when the public mind will become exercised
on the subject of the proper treatment and care of the sick and
suffering of both body and spirit, and when a new thought will be
agitated concerning its duty toward the morally weak and low. Then your
hospitals will not be huge edifices, but small habitations with only one
invalid in each, so that no impure and unhealthy magnetism from another
diseased body shall be absorbed by its occupant. Light, air, water,
music, and flowers will take the place of drugs and powders, and
cheerful, ready attendance be freely given. So with your homes of
refuge, your places of confinement for criminals; those now of walls of
stone will give way to light and airy dwellings, gardens of beauty will
surround them; music and flowers, books and papers, congenial, active
employment, and the cheerful companionship of healthy, kind-hearted
teachers, will supersede whip and thong, and supply to the mental nature
that bracing tone so much required, and under your present system of
discipline, so seldom obtained, these will awaken retrospection in the
mind of the diseased, and bring a desire for amendment, thus beginning
that radical cure which will in time be firmly established in every
sin-sick soul.
ONE OF THE SANITARIUMS OF SPIRIT LIFE.
