Raymond; or, Life and Death: With examples of the evidence for survival of memory and affection after death.

He went into a place on the fifth sphere--a place he takes
to be made of alabaster. He's not sure that it really
was, but it looked like that. It looked like a kind of
a temple--a large one. There were crowds passing into
this place, and they looked very happy. And he thought,
"I wonder what I'm going to see here." When he got mixed
up with the crowd going into the temple, he felt a kind
of--(he's stopping to think). It's not irreverency what he
says, but he felt a kind of feeling as if he had had too
much champagne--it went to his head, he felt too buoyant,
as if carried a bit off the ground.
That's 'cos he isn't quite attuned to the conditions of
that sphere. It's a most extraordinary feeling. He went
in, and he saw that though the building was white, there
were many different lights: looked like certain places
covered in red, and ... was blue, and the centre was
orange. These were not the crude colours that go by those
names, but a softened shade. And he looked to see what
they came from. Then he saw that a lot of the windows were
extremely large, and the panes in them had glass of these
colours. And he saw that some of the people would go and
stand in the pinky coloured light that came through the
red glass, and others would stand in the blue light, and
some would stand in the orange or yellow coloured light.
And he thought, "What are they doing that for?" Then
some one told him that the pinky coloured light was the
light of the love-colour; and the blue was the light of
actual spiritual healing; and the orange was the light of
intellect. And that, according to what people wanted, they
would go and stand under that light. And the guide told
him that it was more important than what people on earth
knew. And that, in years to come, there would be made a
study of the effect of different lights.
