“As all progress in humanity is accomplished through loving effort for
the good of others, Reinstern is now making a vigorous attempt to
elevate your people; to teach them the great truth that soul-life is one
with Universal life, and must be allowed its only expression, Love; not
love in the corrupt sense, received by most of your people, which is not
Love at all, but only a low grade of selfishness. True Love seeks the
good of all, and thereby, wins the best for self. This too is
selfishness; but such is a duty. The Father has clothed us in
individuality, that we may, through our own exertions, become stronger
in virtue; unless we avail ourselves of the opportunities he supplies,
we are ungrateful and unworthy.
“Our bodies are self-built Temples in which to worship, not the outward
manifestations of His power, but His Spirit of Love, which, though
all-pervading, all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving, must ever be
invisible to finite eyes.
“According as we truly worship and enjoy all within human possibilities,
recognizing His presence in every blessing, we live; if we ignore Love’s
voice, we are committing suicide, crowding out of the physical, Life;
hastening the decay,—individual, national and planetary, which
inevitably follows injustice and unkindness. This decay manifests itself
in your ill-health, moral and physical.”
“Do Reinstern people all speak English?” we asked, rather quizzically,
after this broadside of philosophy.
“You have been magnetically prepared for this experience, and
psychically understand all that is presented: this is in the hands of
the electrical students,—is one of their object lessons.
“Were it possible for you to come here unattended and unheralded, you
would see, hear and understand nothing, as our language resembles your
thought communication. We are not so advanced in spirituality as in many
other planets, the inhabitants of which float in the atmosphere at will,
conversing at all distances as freely as you with your family around the
breakfast table. With such the physical is quite subordinate to the
spirit; but we are much above your plane and do not appear materialized
in your eyes.
“Your spirit is, for the time, magnetically maintained by those who are
striving for the salvation of Earth from annihilation.
“You will carry your experience back to your people, and devote your
life to their uplifting. The physical life of those fortunate Earth
inhabitants who have been found susceptible to our efforts, will be
greatly prolonged by our people, that all possible good may be
accomplished.”
After a few minutes—or hours, of riding,—or was it floating? we found
ourselves in Maple Valley.
Would that we were sufficiently gifted to paint that wondrously
beautiful scene! to portray the glories of human life among the Good,
the Pure, the True, the Happy! It were then indeed an object lesson to
all of Earth’s sorrowing people.
