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

Because it wasn't he! In the first place, it couldn't be,
but if that had only been there, they would have known. He
can't say where he is at the present moment, but he heard
a few days ago that he is being kept somewhere, and as far
as he can make out, in Belgium. It's as though he had been
taken some distance.
Raymond's not showing this--but Feda's shown in a sort
of flash a letter. First a B, and then an R. But the B
doesn't mean Belgium; it's either a B or an R, or both. It
just flashed up. It may mean the place where he is. But
Raymond doesn't know where he is, only he's quite sure
that he isn't on the spirit side. But he's afraid he's ill.
O. J. L.--Have you anything more to say about E. A.? [See 3
March record, p. 243.]
No, no more. Raymond came to Feda to help the lady who
came. Feda started describing Raymond. And he said, no,
only come to help. And then he brought the one what was
drownded. He came to help also with another, but Feda
didn't tell that lady, 'cos she didn't know you. He
doesn't like Feda to tell. Feda couldn't understand why
he wanted to help, because she didn't know he knew that
gentleman. He helped E. A. to build up a picture of his
home. Perhaps she thinks it was Feda being so clever!
O. J. L.--Yes, I know, she's been there to see it. [See p.
245.]
Yes, and she found it what she said. He told
her that she wouldn't be seeing his mother. She couldn't
see why she shouldn't see his mother; but she didn't.
[True.] Raymond hasn't got any good tests. He can't
manufacture them, and they are so hard to remember.
O. J. L.--Is he still in his little house?
Oh yes, he feels at home there.
O. J. L.--He said it was made of bricks--I could make nothing of that.
I knew you couldn't! It's difficult to explain. At-om-;
he say something about at-om-ic principle. They seem
to be able to draw (?) certain unstable atoms from the
atmosphere and crystallise them as they draw near certain
central attraction. That isn't quite what Feda thinks
of it. Feda has seen like something going round--a
wheel--something like electricity, some sparks dropping
off the edge of the wheel, and it goes crick, crick,
and becomes like hard; and then they falls like little
raindrops into the long thing under the wheel--Raymond
calls it the accumulator. I can't call them anything but
bricks. It's difficult to know what to call them. Wait
until you come over, and I'll show you round. And you will
say, "By Jove, so they are!" Things are quite real here.
Mind, I don't say things are as heavy as on the earth,
because they're not. And if he hit or kicked something
it wouldn't displace it so much as on the earth, because
we're lighter. I can't tell you exactly what it is; I'm
not very interested in making bricks, but I can see
plainly how it's apparently done.
