My experiences while out of my body : $b and my return after many days
Richmond, Cora L. V. (Cora Linn Victoria)
Astral projection; Spiritualism
One would like to say so much while comparing the “Educational” process
of spirit states with the methods of Earth (excellent as some of the
latter have become); but one must hasten to record added experiences
while they are near to the outward consciousness from within. For when
one enters again into the daily life of Earth, even although it is ever
pervaded by those surpassing scenes, the vividness of the higher state
becomes dimmed by the necessary veiling that human conditions bring.
THERE IS AN ANSWER FOR EVERY QUESTION
Everything that I _wished to know_ found ready answer; even before the
wish was formed into _thought_. I could realize that the answer came
from the Guide, who was my teacher by adaptation. I could realize
that for every _real_ aspiration there is ever an answer; in fact that
the answer from within and above prompts the aspiration, the wish to
know. That there is a solution for every so-called “problem”; for,
in the final analysis, there _are_ no “problems”--except _states_ of
_non-perception_.
All this and a thousand times more of inward awakening came to me as I
grew in the perception of the Knowledge of the Spirit.
“THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR FELLOW-BEINGS”
I saw a countless multitude growing brighter, more resplendent,
as I was led nearer. Among them were those more radiant than the
others--greater, it seemed, in the scope and power of their spirits.
I recognized--not always from personal knowledge on Earth--some of
the individuals who were there, centers of groups of radiant ones,
those who, when in Earth life “loved their fellow men”; and who, by
word and deed had sought to overcome the errors and abuses heaped upon
humanity. Their battles with tongue and pen (no armaments or weapons
of war), their shining armors of Righteousness--were finally known and
appreciated by many minds (souls) on Earth.
One whom I had known from early childhood came toward me with the
group of his friends and relatives, whom I had also known. He greeted
me as he was ever wont to do when we both were in Earth-forms. Though
advanced in years before he left the form, he was ever youthful,
ever calm and peaceful; yet firm and forceful in his advocacy of his
convictions of Human Brotherhood, and the final triumph of the spirit
over errors of human conditions in Time and Sense. By those who knew
his life and works he was considered a “leading and inspiring mind”; to
many he was a Prophet of the “Good time Coming.” How my spirit thrilled
with this meeting with him and his household and the group of friends
who were with him. One question I had often asked in mind, or had
wished to know concerning it:
Had he--this friend with whom I was then conversing, met in spirit
states the one who in a distant land of Earth had said: “---- ---- is
the greatest man America ever possessed”?
