My experiences while out of my body : $b and my return after many days
Richmond, Cora L. V. (Cora Linn Victoria)
Astral projection; Spiritualism
There was from the “smallest” to the “greatest,” from the seemingly
“least” to the “most important” of the manifestations a concerted
action. The “rappings” at Hydesville were no “accident,” the visions of
Clairvoyant and seer, the writings and trance utterances (phenomenal)
were all a part of this _Stupendous Movement_. All, all, under guidance
of those wise Spirits who knew what the people of the world needed and
gave it to them according to their needs.
Necessarily many extremists and “imitators” would be attracted to the
subject--like driftwood following or borne upon every new current of
thought--but it is safe to say that Spiritualism during the sixty-seven
years since the “Rochester Knockings” has attracted the attention
of more eminent minds in every department of human research (and
convinced them too) and given knowledge and consolation to a greater
number of people than any movement or system of knowledge in ancient
or modern times. With those who are willing and anxious to be classed
as Spiritualists it is _knowledge_ of life beyond death--and of the
presence and ministration of the beloved arisen ones.
So spoke my Guide to me and to the group of co-workers who had come
forward to meet and greet me. How young and beautiful they were. Always
I had noted in earth life how beautiful the dear ones are when one has
been for a time absent from them--and here, in this realm of perpetual
youth, with the freedom from human pain and cares that some of them had
so bravely borne, I could but note the beauty that is theirs.
In the interchange of thought and experiences with these arisen
co-workers I could readily understand that being brought into direct
personal relationship with their “Guides,” “Inspirers,” “Teachers,”
“helpers” and with each other, they had become more and more aware of
the true meaning and nature of the gifts (mediumship) that were theirs
when in the form, and they realized that even those “Inspirers” and
“Teachers” were also the instruments of higher and wiser Spirits.
One sister worker said to me “I always wanted to _see_ my Guides, as
you did, but I could not, for the gift of spirit vision was not mine.
Now I understand what it means to ‘see with the eyes of the Spirit’ and
I am satisfied.”
Those who had been my most intimate co-workers had many things to tell
me of their “awakening” into added perception of spiritual things and
of the work assigned them in their new state of existence; still
ministering, still trying to lift the veil, mostly of ignorance, that
divides mortals from their arisen ones. Many were the loving messages
sent to friends and loved _Companions_ still in Earth life.
“Tell them you _saw_ me _here_ in spirit life, and I am ever near them,
in response to a thought, or wish or especially a _need_, guiding,
guarding, aiding.”
