My experiences while out of my body : $b and my return after many days
Richmond, Cora L. V. (Cora Linn Victoria)
Astral projection; Spiritualism
The people know the names of some of those now on Earth whose
“discoveries,” “inventions,” and works have transformed the world!
Those arisen ones who aid in bearing forward the Works Beautiful,
direct their thoughts to such as are ready in Earth life. Here are the
“Thinkers,” whose knowledge of the Truths of the Universe constitutes
the source of all power, Ideas that born of those Truths reach the
minds prepared to receive them and _move the world_. We saw and paused
among assemblies, groups pursuing their usual course of conferring,
interchanging of ideals and preparing to impart more and more the
knowledge that is theirs--as minds are prepared to receive.
_Knowledge is imparted by adaptation._
All such _imparting_ of _knowledge must be by adaptation_. The Spirit
is attracted--would be from the very nature of the Spirit--to the
one best prepared to receive _from that Spirit_. Thus the subtle law
of imparting knowledge by adaptation governs the realm of spirit and
constitutes the basis of deciding concerning “Guides,” “Guardian
Spirits,” and all “ministering ones.” _Affection_ determines the
intimate personal guardians.
FROM SPIRIT TO SPIRIT
It was most interesting and enlightening to see--as I was permitted
to witness--a number of those who are in human states receiving from
luminous and illuminating spirits some new application of science or
art, some new presentation of Truth! The minds of Earth so impressed
are not narrowly questioning “from whence do the ideas come”? Fearful,
if from another _mind_ that those receiving them may “lose their
Individuality.” Such minds know that Truths belong to _minds_--and that
_somewhere_ are greater minds than one’s own--who can impart knowledge.
_Truth is the common heritage of souls_; of Intelligence; and happy is
the mind, spirit or Angel that can perceive or receive it _from any
source_. Intelligence alone perceives and imparts Intelligence.
The process of imparting knowledge from spirit to spirit (whether those
imparting and receiving are in spirit states or still in Earth-forms),
grows ever more and more interesting as one passes into greater
awakening and perception of the _realities_, the _verities_ of spirit.
“Teaching,” “Education” (in the human sense) only exists in those
states or conditions in the spirit realm where the human methods and
forms of thought still govern the minds of the spirits.
Love is the great Illuminator in all realms and worlds, and thus
_adaptation_ of Teacher and the one to be taught _must_ be the keynote
to all reception of knowledge.
