The Astral World—Higher Occult Powers: Clairvoyance, Spiritism, Mediumship, and Spirit-Healing Fully Explained
Tiffany, Joel
Spiritualism
The only perfect mode of communication is the interior method, or
communication by inspiration. As a means of becoming wise, it becomes
necessary for us to seek by some means to come into interior communion
with the Spirit-world and Divine Being, since we can not by outward
means arrive absolutely at the truth. If we will know that truth which
is required to build us up into eternal life, we must ascertain what
conditions are necessary to be observed to bring us into interior
communion with the Spirit, so that without outward sign they can flow
directly into our consciousness, and be written upon the thought or
heart, as was said, “I will put my law into their understandings, and
I will write it upon their affections.” Thus truth must come to us
without any recourse to Bibles or any other standard whatever. It so
happens that the means by which we are to attain to interior communion
are open to all. It is possible for every person to come into _rapport_
with the interior spheres. According to one’s ruling love or desire
will be his affinity or communion with the spheres of the Spirit-world.
If that be high, his communion will be high. If low, his communion will
be low.
I will illustrate what I mean by interior communication. Suppose
that some of you have a pain in the head. After your best attempts
to describe it to me by natural language, I might not get of it a
correct idea. But by putting myself in a negative condition to you, I
could receive the pain myself, and be able to understand its character
precisely. You thus communicate through the nervous medium interiorly.
Many persons in public assemblies are liable to receive headaches of
others by coming into _rapport_ with them.
