My experiences while out of my body : $b and my return after many days
Richmond, Cora L. V. (Cora Linn Victoria)
Astral projection; Spiritualism
It seems better to receive a message from one who has “been there,” who
has actually _seen_ and _conversed_ with one’s friends “face to face”
and “spirit to spirit.” So, in the treasure house of my spirit are
stored those messages to be given whenever I meet any of those loved
ones in human life to whom I was so fortunate as to bear a message. It
is to them alone that the message for them can be given.
The transcendent brightness and spiritual beauty of that assemblage of
spirits--from guardian spirits of relatives and friends to the wisest
and most advanced that one could see, are beyond my power of language
to express.
There is no formal taking of one’s “place” or “position,” no
ceremonious “assigning” of “duty” or “work,” but in groups and larger
companies, as well as in personal ministrations, a mutual understanding
of purpose, according to adaptation. If a united or concerted action
upon earth-minds for any given purpose is needed it is readily
perceived and entered upon by all who are in accord, and is performed
by such methods as enlightened spirits readily understand.
Human minds are better prepared to comprehend the methods of spirit
communicating with spirit since “wireless telegraphy” and other recent
scientific wonders have been achieved, not that the _process_ is
similar in any degree, but being prepared for the new revealments in
science also prepares impartial minds to know of the more subtle powers
of the spirit. “Volition” in its highest analysis is the one attribute
of the spirit by which other spirits know--through perception, what
is being imparted, _but_ there must ever be _accord_, _sympathy_,
_adaptation_.
From some of those who had been my friends in my early life and who
were “leading minds” in this cause, and in other subjects of human
interest, I received many thoughts and suggestions concerning
the present status of the “movement” (Spiritualism) and what
they now think of the possible and desirable results of “united
action,”--“organization” for the work and the workers. These and many
other themes must be left for opportunity, time and strength to reveal,
as my work goes on in human life.
One notes the same minds and spirits in many assemblages of the
different branches of all purposes for aiding humanity. Even as when on
earth the “Pioneers” in “Anti-slavery,” “Equal Suffrage,” “Temperance,”
were the same staunch body of men and women, ready now as then to
respond to the call to give a voice to Truth. In the assemblies for
promoting “peace” by “those who love their fellow men,” there was the
universal sentiment: “Peace must be born of Justice and Justice can
only come by true Fraternity.”
“My country is the world;
My countrymen all mankind.”
This is the standard extending to include “All Souls.”
