The Story of Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland and of the new Gospel of Interpretation
Maitland, Edward
Kingsford, Anna Bonus, 1846-1888; Mysticism
The memory of the soul is recovered by a threefold operation--that
of the Soul herself, of the Moon, and of the Sun. The Genius is not
an informing spirit. He can tell nothing to the soul. All that she
receives is already within herself. But in the darkness of the
night, it would remain there undiscovered, but for the torch of the
angel who enlightens. "Yea," says the angel Genius to his client,
"I illuminate thee, but I instruct thee not. I warn thee, but I
fight not. I attend, but I lead not. Thy treasure is within
thyself. My light showeth where it lieth."...
The voice of the Genius is the voice of God; for God speaks through
him as a man through the horn of a trumpet. Thou mayest not adore
him, for he is the instrument of God, and thy minister. But thou
must obey him, for he hath no voice of his own, but sheweth thee
the will of the Spirit.
We noted that the inspiring angel of the Apocalypse had twice similarly
spoken when the seer was about to worship him;--"See thou do it not; for
I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
which keep the sayings of this book: Worship God."
The like positive injunctions were given us also against according
divine honours to Jesus.
Besides Socrates, there is another notable historical "Spiritualist" of
whom our experiences vividly reminded us. This was Joan of Arc. The
correspondence between her and "Mary," in gifts, experiences, and
personal characteristics, was of the closest. We had no difficulty in
believing her history. Each of them, moreover, had a mission of
deliverance, the one political and national, the other spiritual and
universal.
