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

They sat and listened, and the first part of the ceremony
was given in a lecture, in which one of the Guides was
telling them how to teach others on the lower spheres
and earth plane, to come more into the spiritual life,
while still on those lower planes. I think that all that
went before was to make it easy to understand. And he
didn't get only the words of the speaker, words didn't
seem to matter, he got the thought--whole sentences,
instead of one word at a time. And lessons were given on
concentration, and on the projection of uplifting and
helpful thoughts to those on the earth plane. And as he
sat there--he sat, they were not kneeling--he felt as if
something was going from him, through the other spheres on
to the earth, and was helping somebody, though he didn't
know who it was. He can't tell you how wonderful it was;
not once it happened, but several times.
He's even been on to the sixth sphere too. The sixth
sphere was even more beautiful than the fifth, but at
present he didn't want to stay there. He would rather be
helping people where he is.
O. J. L.--Does he see the troubles of people on the earth?
Yes, he does sometimes.
I do wish that we could alter people so that they were
not ashamed to talk about the things that matter. He can
see people preparing for the summer holidays, and yet
something may prevent them. But the journey that they have
got to go some time, that they don't prepare for at all.
M. F. A. L.--How can you prepare for it?
Yes, by speaking about it openly, and living your life so
as to make it easier for yourself and others.
O. J. L.--Is Raymond still there? Has he got any more tests to give,
or anything to say, to the boys or anybody?
Did they understand about the yacht?
O. J. L.--Yes, they did.
And about the tent?
O. J. L.--Yes, they did.
He's very pleased--it bucks him up when he gets things
through.
O. J. L.--Have you learnt any more about [the Colonel[28]]?
He's not on the spirit side. He feels sure he isn't.
Somebody told him that there was a body found, near the
place where he had been, and it was dressed in uniform
like he had had. But something had happened to it here
(pointing to her head).
O. J. L.--Who was it told you?
Some one on the other side; just a messenger, not one who
knew all about it. No, the messenger didn't seem to know
J. K. personally, but he had gathered the information
from the minds of people on the earth plane. And Feda
isn't quite sure, but thinks that there was something
missing from the body--missing from the body that they
took to be him, which would have identified him.
O. J. L.--Do you mean the face?
No, he doesn't mean the face.
(M. F. A. L., here pointing to her chest, signified to me
that she knew that it was the identification disk that was
missing.)
M. F. A. L.--Why was it missing?
