+THE
+reality
+of
+an
+invisible
+world
+surrounding
+the
+physical
+world
+is
+for
+many
+difficult
+to
+comprehend
+since
+the
+mind
+sphere
+is
+often
+limited
+to
+the
+visible
+and
+tangible
+however
+it
+requires
+but
+little
+thought
+to
+realize
+the
+constant
+change
+of
+matter
+as
+it
+occurs
+in
+three
+forms
+solid
+liquid
+and
+gaseous
+in
+its
+range
+back
+and

+between
+the
+visible

+Visible

+at
+the
+bottom
+of
+an
+invisible
+ocean
+the
+atmosphere
+which
+is
+even
+more
+important
+to
+physical
+existence
+than
+any
+of
+the
+visible
+physical
+substances
+since
+life
+can
+continue
+but
+a
+few

+Nitrogen

+Hydrogen

+All

+in

+in

+in

+life
+in
+intelligence
+and

+So
+in
+every
+department
+of
+our
+manifest
+physical
+nature
+it
+is
+evident
+that
+all
+elements
+have
+their
+root
+and
+permanence
+in
+the
+invisible
+The
+invisible
+is
+the
+source
+of
+the
+visible
+Thus
+when
+we
+realize
+that
+the
+objective
+is
+only
+a
+combination
+of
+invisible
+substances
+and
+forces
+the
+existence
+of
+an
+unseen

+Considering

+it
+is
+inconceivable
+that
+any

+The
+hypothesis
+upon

+is
+that

+is
+a

+causes

+at

+Without

+What

+This

+on

+doubtful

+after

+of

+Should
+it
+not
+be
+the
+noblest
+part
+of
+the
+physician
+s
+calling
+in

+situations
+to
+be
+in
+a
+position
+to
+assure
+his

+from

+that
+there

+into

+in

+In

+indubitably

+demonstrates
+that
+such
+entities
+play
+an
+important
+role
+in
+the
+various
+psychoneuroses
+and
+insanities
+The
+physician
+undoubtedly
+comes
+in
+more
+intimate
+touch
+with
+the
+consequences
+of
+promiscuous
+dabbling
+in
+Psychical
+Research
+so
+frequently
+resulting
+in
+mental
+aberrations
+than
+any
+other
+person
+for

+is
+usually
+the
+first
+one
+to
+be
+called
+into
+consultation
+and
+upon
+his
+decision
+depends
+largely
+the
+disposal
+of
+such
+an
+unfortunate
+victim
+For
+this
+reason
+if
+no
+other
+it
+should
+surely
+be
+not
+only
+the
+privilege
+but
+also
+the
+urgent
+duty
+of
+the

+to
+become

+The
+alarming

+often
+occurring

+prompted

+also
+concern
+the
+physician
+The
+serious
+problem
+of
+alienation
+and
+mental
+derangement
+attending
+ignorant
+psychic
+experiments
+was
+first
+brought
+to
+my
+attention
+by
+the
+cases
+of
+several
+persons
+whose
+seemingly
+harmless
+experiences
+with
+automatic
+writing
+and
+the
+Ouija
+Board
+resulted
+in
+such
+wild
+insanity
+that
+committment
+to
+asylums
+was
+necessitated
+The
+first
+of
+these
+cases
+was
+that
+of
+Mrs
+Bl
+whose
+attempts
+at
+automatic
+writing
+led
+to
+mental
+derangement
+and
+altered
+personality
+Normally
+she
+was
+amiable
+pious
+quiet
+and
+refined
+but
+became
+boisterous
+and
+noisy
+romped
+about
+and
+danced
+used
+vile
+language
+and
+claiming
+she
+was
+an
+actress
+insisted
+upon
+dressing
+for
+the
+stage
+saying
+that
+she
+had
+to
+be
+at
+the
+theatre
+at
+a
+certain
+time
+or
+lose
+her
+position
+Finally
+she
+became
+so
+irresponsible
+that
+she
+was
+placed
+in
+an
+asylum
+Another
+case
+was
+Mrs
+Bn
+who
+through
+the
+practice
+of
+automatic
+writing
+changed
+from
+an
+artist
+and
+a
+lady
+of
+refinement
+to
+an
+altogether
+different
+and
+violent
+personality
+Screaming
+at
+the
+top
+of
+her
+voice
+she
+continually
+rubbed
+her
+temples
+and
+exclaimed
+God
+save
+me
+God
+save
+me
+Rushing
+into
+the
+street
+she
+knelt
+in
+the
+mud
+praying
+and
+refused
+food
+declaring
+that
+if
+she
+should
+eat
+before
+six
+o
+clock
+P
+M
+she
+would
+go
+to
+hell
+Mrs
+Sr
+who
+bad
+followed
+the
+same
+practices
+also
+became
+mentally
+deranged
+and
+violent
+necessitating
+police
+interference
+Rising
+in
+the
+night
+she
+posed
+in
+the
+window
+of
+her
+millinery
+shop
+as
+Napoleon
+whom
+she
+presumed
+herself
+to
+be
+and
+after
+committing
+many
+other
+irresponsible
+acts
+requiring
+restraint
+was
+sent
+to
+the
+Detention
+Hospital
+In
+like
+manner
+Mrs
+Wr
+became
+obsessed
+with
+hallucinations
+that
+God
+was
+constantly
+talking
+to
+her
+and
+condemning
+her
+for
+wrong
+acts
+of
+which
+he
+accused
+her
+after
+attempting
+suicide
+at
+the
+request
+of
+this
+so
+called
+God
+she
+was
+taken
+to
+the
+asylum
+Many
+other
+disastrous
+results
+which
+followed
+the
+use
+of
+the
+supposedly
+innocent
+Ouija
+Board
+came
+to
+my
+notice
+and
+my
+observations
+led
+me
+into
+research
+in
+psychic
+phenomena
+for
+a
+possible
+explanation
+of
+these
+strange
+occurrences
+My
+wife
+proved
+to
+be
+an
+excellent
+psychic
+intermediary
+and
+was
+easily
+controlled
+by
+discarnate
+intelligences
+In
+answer
+to
+her
+doubts
+concerning
+the
+right
+of
+disturbing
+the
+dead
+these
+intelligences
+asserted
+that
+a
+grievously
+wrong
+conception
+existed
+among
+mortals
+regarding
+the
+conditions
+prevailing
+after
+death
+They
+stated
+that
+there
+is
+in
+reality
+no
+death
+but
+a
+natural
+transition
+from
+the
+visible
+to
+the
+invisible
+world
+and
+that
+advanced
+spirits
+are
+ever
+striving
+to
+communicate
+with
+mortals
+to
+enlighten
+them
+concerning
+the
+higher
+possibilities
+which
+await
+the
+progressive
+spirit
+But
+death
+the
+freeing
+of
+the
+spirit
+from
+the
+body
+is
+so
+simple
+and
+natural
+that
+a
+great
+majority
+do
+not
+for
+a
+longer
+or
+shorter
+period
+realize
+the
+change
+and
+owing
+to
+a
+lack
+of
+education
+concerning
+the
+spiritual
+side
+of
+their
+natures
+they
+continue
+to
+remain
+in
+their
+earthly
+haunts
+They
+maintained
+that
+many
+such
+spirits
+were
+attracted
+to
+the
+magnetic
+aura
+of
+mortals
+although
+the
+spirit
+as
+well
+as
+the
+mortal
+might
+be
+unconscious
+of
+the
+intrusion
+and
+thus
+by
+obsessing
+or
+possessing
+their
+victims
+they
+ignorantly
+or
+maliciously
+became
+the
+cause
+of
+untold
+mischief
+often
+producing
+invalidism
+immorality
+crime
+and
+seeming
+insanity
+The
+risk
+of
+interference
+from
+this
+source
+constituted
+they
+said
+the
+gravest
+danger
+to
+the
+unwary
+novice
+in
+psychic
+research
+but
+to
+be
+in
+ignorance
+of
+these
+facts
+was
+an
+even
+greater
+risk
+especially
+in
+the
+case
+of
+the
+susceptible
+neurotic
+These
+intelligences
+also
+stated
+that
+by
+a
+system
+of
+transfer
+that
+is
+by
+attracting
+such
+obsessing
+entities
+from
+the
+victim
+to
+a
+psychic
+intermediary
+the
+correctness
+of
+the
+hypothesis
+could
+be
+demonstrated
+and
+conditions
+could
+be
+shown
+as
+they
+actually
+exist
+After
+this
+transference
+of
+psychoses
+the
+victims
+would
+be
+relieved
+and
+the
+obsessing
+spirits
+could
+then
+be
+reached
+by
+the
+advanced
+spirits
+who
+would
+care
+for
+them
+and
+instruct
+them
+regarding
+the
+higher
+laws
+of
+life
+They
+claimed
+they
+had
+found
+my
+wife
+to
+be
+a
+suitable
+instrument
+for
+such
+experimentation
+and
+proposed
+that
+if
+I
+would
+cooperate
+with
+them
+by
+caring
+for
+and
+instructing
+these
+ignorant
+spirits
+as
+they
+allowed
+them
+to
+take
+temporary
+but
+complete
+possession
+of
+my
+wife
+s
+body
+without
+any
+injury
+to
+her
+they
+would
+prove
+their
+assertions
+were
+correct
+Desirous
+of
+learning
+the
+truth
+or
+falsity
+of
+such
+important
+claims
+which
+if
+true
+would
+have
+a
+great
+bearing
+on
+the
+cause
+of
+much
+that
+is
+otherwise
+baffling
+in
+criminology
+as
+well
+as
+in
+psycho
+pathology
+we
+accepted
+what
+seemed
+a
+hazardous
+undertaking
+In
+order
+to
+carry
+out
+their
+purpose
+the
+Guiding
+Intelligences
+allowed
+many
+manifestations
+to
+take
+place
+often
+very
+unexpectedly
+and
+some
+of
+these
+occurred
+while
+I
+was
+pursuing
+my
+early
+medical
+studies
+One
+day
+I
+left
+home
+without
+any
+intention
+of
+immediately
+beginning
+my
+first
+dissecting
+work
+therefore
+my
+wife
+s
+subconscious
+mind
+could
+not
+possibly
+have
+taken
+any
+part
+in
+what
+transpired
+later
+The
+students
+were
+required
+to
+dissect
+a
+lateral
+half
+of
+a
+body
+the
+first
+subject
+was
+a
+man
+about
+sixty
+years
+of
+age
+and
+that
+afternoon
+I
+began
+dissecting
+on
+a
+lower
+limb
+I
+returned
+home
+at
+about
+five
+o
+clock
+and
+had
+scarcely
+entered
+the
+door
+when
+my
+wife
+was
+apparently
+taken
+with
+a
+sudden
+illness
+and
+complaining
+of
+feeling
+strange
+staggered
+as
+though
+about
+to
+fall
+As
+I
+placed
+my
+hand
+on
+her
+shoulder
+she
+drew
+herself
+up
+and
+became
+entranced
+by
+a
+foreign
+intelligence
+who
+said
+with
+threatening
+gesture
+What
+do
+you
+mean
+by
+cutting
+me
+I
+answered
+that
+I
+was
+not
+aware
+of
+cutting
+any
+one
+but
+the
+spirit
+angrily
+replied
+Of
+course
+you
+are
+You
+are
+cutting
+on
+my
+leg
+Realizing
+that
+the
+spirit
+owner
+of
+the
+body
+on
+which
+I
+had
+been
+operating
+had
+followed
+me
+home
+I
+began
+to
+parley
+with
+him
+first
+placing
+my
+wife
+in
+a
+chair
+To
+this
+the
+spirit
+vigorously
+objected
+saying
+that
+I
+had
+no
+business
+to
+touch
+him
+To
+my
+answer
+that
+I
+had
+a
+right
+to
+touch
+my
+own
+wife
+the
+entity
+retorted
+Your
+wife
+What
+are
+you
+talking
+about
+I
+am
+no
+woman
+I
+m
+a
+man
+I
+explained
+that
+he
+had
+passed
+out
+of
+his
+physical
+body
+and
+was
+controlling
+the
+body
+of
+my
+wife
+and
+that
+his
+spirit
+was
+here
+and
+his
+body
+at
+the
+college
+When
+he
+finally
+seemed
+to
+realize
+this
+I
+said
+Suppose
+I
+were
+now
+cutting
+on
+your
+body
+at
+the
+college
+that
+could
+not
+kill
+you
+since
+you
+yourself
+are
+here
+The
+spirit
+admitted
+that
+this
+seemed
+reasonable
+and
+said
+I
+guess
+I
+must
+be
+what
+they
+call
+dead
+so
+I
+won
+t
+have
+any
+more
+use
+for
+my
+old
+body
+If
+you
+can
+learn
+anything
+by
+cutting
+on
+it
+go
+ahead
+and
+cut
+away
+Then
+he
+added
+suddenly
+Say
+Mister
+give
+me
+a
+chew
+of
+tobacco
+I
+told
+him
+that
+I
+had
+none
+and
+then
+he
+begged
+for
+a
+pipe
+saying
+I
+m
+dying
+for
+a
+smoke
+This
+request
+was
+of
+course
+also
+refused
+The
+fact
+that
+Mrs
+Wickland
+has
+always
+abhorred
+the
+sight
+of
+any
+one
+chewing
+tobacco
+precludes
+the
+possibility
+of
+her
+subconscious
+mind
+playing
+any
+role
+in
+this
+episode
+After
+a
+more
+detailed
+explanation
+of
+the
+fact
+that
+he
+was
+actually
+so
+called
+dead
+the
+spirit
+realized
+his
+true
+condition
+and
+left
+Subsequent
+examination
+of
+the
+teeth
+of
+the
+cadaver
+indicated
+that
+the
+man
+had
+been
+an
+inveterate
+tobacco
+user
+in
+life
+Upon
+another
+occasion
+when
+I
+had
+been
+appointed
+assistant
+demonstrator
+for
+a
+class
+of
+students
+in
+dissecting
+the
+body
+of
+a
+colored
+man
+had
+been
+selected
+as
+a
+subject
+but
+the
+body
+had
+not
+yet
+been
+disturbed
+when
+one
+evening
+Mrs
+Wickland
+became
+entranced
+and
+a
+strange
+spirit
+speaking
+through
+her
+exclaimed
+You
+ain
+t
+goin
+to
+cut
+on
+dis
+colored
+man
+Boss
+I
+told
+him
+that
+the
+world
+called
+him
+dead
+that
+he
+was
+not
+in
+his
+old
+body
+but
+was
+now
+controlling
+a
+woman
+s
+body
+He
+would
+not
+believe
+this
+and
+when
+I
+showed
+him
+my
+wife
+s
+hands
+saying
+they
+were
+not
+colored
+but
+white
+he
+replied
+I
+se
+got
+whitewash
+on
+dem
+whitewashin
+is
+my
+business
+This
+spirit
+proved
+to
+be
+very
+obstinate
+offering
+a
+variety
+of
+excuses
+and
+explanations
+rather
+than
+accept
+the
+truth
+but
+he
+was
+finally
+convinced
+and
+departed
+Another
+incident
+will
+still
+further
+demonstrate
+to
+what
+a
+seemingly
+unbelievable
+degree
+spirits
+may
+cling
+to
+their
+earthly
+bodies
+through
+ignorance
+of
+their
+transition
+or
+so
+called
+death
+In
+the
+dissecting
+room
+was
+the
+body
+of
+a
+woman
+about
+forty
+years
+of
+age
+who
+had
+died
+at
+the
+Cook
+County
+Hospital
+Chicago
+the
+previous
+June
+In
+January
+seven
+months
+after
+her
+death
+a
+number
+of
+students
+myself
+included
+were
+assigned
+this
+subject
+for
+dissection
+I
+could
+not
+be
+present
+the
+first
+evening
+but
+the
+others
+began
+their
+work
+Nothing
+was
+ever
+said
+to
+me
+of
+what
+occurred
+during
+those
+few
+hours
+but
+for
+some
+reason
+unknown
+to
+me
+the
+other
+students
+never
+touched
+that
+subject
+again
+The
+next
+day
+there
+was
+no
+school
+in
+the
+afternoon
+so
+I
+began
+to
+dissect
+alone
+working
+on
+the
+arm
+and
+neck
+The
+dissecting
+room
+was
+in
+the
+rear
+of
+a
+long
+basement
+and
+very
+quiet
+but
+once
+I
+distinctly
+heard
+a
+voice
+say
+Don
+t
+murder
+me
+The
+voice
+sounded
+faintly
+as
+from
+a
+distance
+but
+since
+I
+am
+not
+in
+the
+least
+superstitious
+and
+not
+at
+all
+inclined
+to
+credit
+small
+incidents
+to
+the
+actions
+of
+spirits
+I
+concluded
+that
+it
+probably
+came
+from
+children
+in
+the
+street
+although
+I
+had
+not
+heard
+any
+playing
+nearby
+The
+following
+afternoon
+I
+was
+again
+working
+alone
+when
+I
+was
+rather
+startled
+by
+a
+rustling
+sound
+coming
+from
+a
+crumpled
+newspaper
+lying
+on
+the
+floor
+a
+sound
+something
+like
+that
+produced
+when
+a
+newspaper
+is
+crushed
+but
+I
+paid
+no
+particular
+attention
+to
+it
+and
+did
+not
+mention
+these
+occurrences
+to
+my
+wife
+The
+episodes
+had
+quite
+passed
+out
+of
+my
+mind
+until
+a
+few
+days
+later
+We
+were
+holding
+a
+psychic
+circle
+in
+our
+home
+and
+our
+invisible
+co
+workers
+had
+already
+departed
+when
+I
+noticed
+that
+my
+wife
+still
+remained
+in
+a
+semi
+comatose
+condition
+I
+stepped
+up
+to
+her
+to
+ascertain
+the
+reason
+when
+the
+controlling
+spirit
+rose
+suddenly
+struck
+at
+me
+angrily
+and
+said
+I
+have
+some
+bones
+to
+pick
+with
+you
+After
+a
+period
+of
+struggle
+with
+the
+stranger
+I
+asked
+what
+the
+trouble
+was
+Why
+do
+you
+want
+to
+kill
+me
+the
+entity
+demanded
+I
+am
+not
+killing
+any
+one
+I
+answered
+Yes
+you
+are
+you
+are
+cutting
+on
+my
+arm
+and
+neck
+I
+shouted
+at
+you
+not
+to
+murder
+me
+and
+I
+struck
+that
+paper
+on
+the
+floor
+to
+frighten
+you
+but
+you
+wouldn
+t
+pay
+any
+attention
+Then
+laughing
+boisterously
+the
+spirit
+added
+with
+great
+hilarity
+But
+I
+seared
+the
+other
+fellows
+It
+was
+necessary
+to
+explain
+at
+great
+length
+the
+actual
+situation
+of
+the
+spirit
+who
+said
+her
+name
+was
+Minnie
+Morgan
+but
+finally
+she
+understood
+and
+left
+promising
+to
+seek
+a
+higher
+life
+The
+ease
+with
+which
+spirits
+assume
+control
+of
+the
+psychic
+intermediary
+Mrs
+Wickland
+is
+so
+perfect
+that
+the
+majority
+of
+them
+at
+first
+fail
+to
+comprehend
+the
+fact
+that
+they
+are
+so
+called
+dead
+and
+are
+temporarily
+occupying
+the
+body
+of
+another
+Those
+intelligences
+whose
+reasoning
+faculties
+are
+alert
+can
+See
+Chapter
+Page
+Spirit
+Minnie
+Morgan
+generally
+be
+made
+to
+realize
+that
+their
+situation
+is
+unusual
+when
+attention
+is
+called
+to
+the
+dissimilarity
+between
+their
+own
+former
+bodily
+features
+hands
+and
+feet
+as
+well
+as
+clothes
+and
+those
+of
+the
+psychic
+This
+is
+especially
+so
+when
+the
+spirit
+is
+a
+man
+for
+the
+difference
+will
+then
+be
+more
+readily
+noticed
+Following
+the
+statement
+that
+the
+body
+which
+is
+being
+controlled
+belongs
+to
+my
+wife
+spirits
+usually
+retort

+it

+for

+In

+Such

+often
+complain

+there
+may
+be
+a
+number
+of
+spirits
+requiring
+removal
+from
+the

+patient
+It
+may
+be
+asked
+why
+advanced
+intelligences
+do
+not

+of
+earthbound
+spirits
+and
+convert
+them
+without

+Many
+of

+spirits
+cannot

+spirits

+when

+in

+Upon

+experience
+a
+sensation
+of
+dying
+which
+signifies
+that

+Other

+One
+summer
+evening
+we
+were
+called
+to
+the
+home
+of
+Mrs
+M
+a
+lady
+of
+culture
+and
+refinement
+she
+was
+a
+musician
+of
+high
+rank
+and
+when
+the
+social
+demands
+made
+upon
+her
+proved
+too
+great
+she
+suffered
+a
+nervous
+breakdown
+She
+had
+become
+intractable
+and
+for
+six
+weeks
+had
+been
+in
+such
+a
+raving
+condition
+that
+her
+physicians
+had
+been
+unable
+to
+relieve
+her
+and
+day
+and
+night
+nurses
+were
+in
+constant
+attendance
+We
+found
+the
+patient
+sitting
+up
+in
+her
+bed
+crying
+one
+minute
+like
+a
+forlorn
+child
+and
+again
+screaming
+in
+fear
+Matilla
+Matilla
+Then
+suddenly
+fighting
+and
+struggling
+she
+would
+talk
+a
+wild
+gibberish
+of
+English
+and
+Spanish
+the
+latter
+a
+language
+of
+which
+she
+had
+no
+knowledge
+Mrs
+Wickland
+immediately
+gave
+her
+psychic
+diagnosis
+saying
+the
+case
+was
+unquestionably
+one
+of
+obsession
+and
+this
+was
+unexpectedly
+confirmed
+when
+Mrs
+Wickland
+who
+was
+standing
+at
+the
+foot
+of
+the
+bed
+with
+wraps
+on
+ready
+to
+leave
+was
+found
+to
+be
+suddenly
+entranced
+We
+placed
+her
+on
+a
+davenport
+in
+the
+music
+room
+where
+for
+two
+hours
+I
+talked
+in
+turn
+with
+several
+spirits
+who
+had
+just
+been
+attracted
+from
+the
+patient
+There
+were
+three
+spirits
+a
+girl
+named
+Mary
+her
+suitor
+an
+American
+and
+his
+Mexican
+rival
+Matilla
+Both
+of
+the
+men
+had
+vehemently
+loved
+the
+girl
+and
+as
+fiercely
+hated
+each
+other
+In
+a
+jealous
+rage
+one
+had
+killed
+the
+girl
+and
+then
+in
+a
+desperate
+fight
+the
+two
+rivals
+had
+killed
+each
+other
+All
+were
+unaware
+of
+being
+dead
+although
+Mary
+said
+weeping
+wretchedly
+I
+thought
+they
+were
+going
+to
+kill
+each
+other
+but
+here
+they
+are
+still
+fighting
+This
+tragedy
+of
+love
+hatred
+and
+jealousy
+had
+not
+ended
+with
+physical
+death
+the
+group
+had
+unconsciously
+been
+drawn
+into
+the
+psychic
+atmosphere
+of
+the
+patient
+and
+the
+violent
+fighting
+had
+continued
+within
+her
+aura
+Since
+her
+nervous
+resistance
+was
+exceedingly
+low
+at
+this
+time
+one
+after
+the
+other
+had
+usurped
+her
+physical
+body
+with
+a
+resulting
+disturbance
+that
+was
+unexplainable
+by
+her
+attendants
+With
+great
+difficulty
+the
+three
+spirits
+were
+convinced
+that
+they
+had
+lost
+their
+physical
+bodies
+but
+at
+last
+they
+recognized
+the
+truth
+and
+were
+taken
+away
+by
+our
+invisible
+co
+workers
+Meanwhile
+the
+patient
+had
+arisen
+and
+speaking
+rationally
+to
+the
+astonished
+nurse
+walked
+quietly
+about
+her
+room
+Presently
+she
+said
+I
+am
+going
+to
+sleep
+well
+tonight
+and
+returning
+to
+bed
+fell
+asleep
+without
+the
+usual
+sedatives
+and
+rested
+quietly
+throughout
+the
+night
+The
+following
+day
+attended
+by
+a
+nurse
+she
+was
+brought
+to
+our
+home
+we
+dismissed
+the
+nurse
+discarded
+her
+medicines
+and
+after
+an
+electrical
+treatment
+the
+patient
+had
+her
+dinner
+in
+the
+general
+dining
+room
+with
+the
+other
+patients
+and
+that
+evening
+attended
+a
+function
+given
+in
+our
+social
+hall
+Another
+spirit
+was
+removed
+from
+her
+the
+next
+day
+this
+was
+a
+little
+girl
+who
+had
+been
+killed
+in
+the
+San
+Francisco
+earthquake
+and
+who
+cried
+constantly
+saying
+she
+was
+lost
+in
+the
+dark
+It
+is
+needless
+to
+add
+that
+she
+was
+comforted
+and
+promptly
+cared
+for
+by
+spirit
+friends
+who
+had
+been
+unable
+to
+reach
+her
+while
+she
+was
+enmeshed
+in

+aura
+of
+a
+psychic
+sensitive
+After
+some
+months
+of
+treatment

+One
+of
+our
+early
+experiences
+in
+Chicago
+occurred
+on
+the
+of
+November
+During
+one
+of
+our
+psychic
+circles
+Mrs
+Wickland
+entranced
+by
+a
+strange
+entity
+fell
+prostrate
+to
+the
+floor
+and
+remained
+in
+a
+comatose
+condition
+for
+some
+time
+The
+spirit
+was
+at
+last
+brought
+to
+the
+front
+and
+acted
+as
+though
+in
+great
+pain
+repeatedly
+saying
+Why
+didn
+t
+I
+take
+more
+carbolic
+acid
+I
+want
+to
+die
+I
+m
+so
+tired
+of
+living
+In
+a
+weak
+voice
+the
+spirit
+complained
+of
+the
+dense
+darkness
+all
+about
+and
+was
+unable
+to
+see
+an
+electric
+light
+shining
+directly
+into
+her
+face
+She
+whispered
+faintly
+My
+poor
+son
+and
+when
+pressed
+for
+information
+said
+that
+her
+name
+was
+Mary
+Rose
+and
+that
+she
+lived
+at
+South
+Green
+Street
+a
+street
+entirely

+been
+a

+She

+that
+she

+succeeded
+in
+destroying
+her

+for

+she

+Mrs
+Fl
+a
+patient
+who
+had
+been
+declared
+incurably
+insane
+by
+several
+physicians
+was
+a
+refined
+lady
+of
+gentle
+disposition
+who
+had
+become
+very
+wild
+and
+unmanageable
+swearing
+constantly
+and
+fighting
+with
+such
+violence
+that
+several
+persons
+were
+required
+to
+restrain
+her
+She
+was
+also
+subject
+to
+coma
+states
+again
+to
+fainting
+spells
+would
+refuse
+food
+announce
+that
+she
+had
+been
+married
+above
+by
+celestial
+powers
+and
+used
+extraordinarily
+vile
+language
+these
+various
+phases
+alternated
+constantly
+but
+no
+full
+proof
+of
+obsession
+was
+evidenced
+until
+one
+day
+when
+Mrs
+Fl
+lost
+all
+power
+of
+speech
+and
+mumbling
+idiotically
+simulated
+perfectly
+a
+deaf
+and
+dumb
+person
+At
+this
+time
+a
+gentleman
+from
+an
+adjoining
+state
+came
+to
+the
+house
+to
+visit
+a
+patient
+and
+shortly
+after
+his
+arrival
+the
+nurse
+who
+attended
+Mrs
+Fl
+reported
+that
+the
+patient
+had
+again
+changed
+and
+was
+talking
+like
+a
+little
+child
+So
+striking
+was
+this
+alteration
+that
+the
+gentleman
+was
+asked
+to
+step
+into
+the
+room
+to
+observe
+the
+patient
+He
+was
+a
+total
+stranger
+to
+her
+but
+as
+he
+entered
+the
+room
+she
+pointed
+to
+him
+and
+said
+in
+a
+high
+childish
+voice
+I
+know
+that
+man
+He
+used
+to
+put
+bows
+on
+my
+shoulders
+Arid
+he
+pulled
+my
+toofies
+He
+took
+me
+to
+a
+gypsy
+camp
+too
+He
+lived
+right
+across
+the
+street
+from
+me
+and
+he
+used
+to
+call
+me
+Rosebud
+I
+m
+four
+years
+old
+The
+astonished
+gentleman
+corroborated
+every
+statement
+saying
+that
+he
+had
+known
+such
+a
+child
+in
+his
+home
+town
+in
+Iowa
+but
+that
+she
+had
+died
+the
+year
+before
+He
+explained
+that
+he
+was
+very
+fond
+of
+children
+and
+had
+on
+several
+occasions
+taken
+the
+child
+to
+a
+gypsy
+camp
+and
+that
+whenever
+he
+bought
+taffy
+on
+a
+stick
+for
+the
+little
+girl
+he
+would
+tug
+at
+the
+stick
+while
+she
+was
+eating
+the
+candy
+and
+playfully
+threaten
+to
+pull
+her
+teeth
+It
+was
+evident
+that
+affection
+had
+attracted
+the
+spirit
+child
+to
+her
+friend
+and
+that
+she
+found
+in
+Mrs
+Fl
+a
+vehicle
+through
+which
+she
+could
+make
+her
+presence
+known
+to
+the
+gentleman
+The
+patient
+was
+relieved
+of
+this
+spirit
+and
+gradually
+of
+other
+obsessing
+influences
+and
+several
+months
+later
+was
+pronounced
+entirely
+competent
+to
+sign
+legal
+papers
+being
+declared
+normal
+and
+sane
+by
+a
+judge
+and
+jury
+Another
+case
+in
+point
+was
+that
+of
+Mrs
+who
+was
+a
+cook
+in
+a
+restaurant
+She
+had
+observed
+a
+waitress
+acting
+queerly
+laboring
+under
+delusions
+and
+hallucinations
+and
+brought
+her
+to
+my
+office
+After
+an
+electrical
+treatment
+the
+patient
+declared
+she
+felt
+greatly
+relieved
+and
+returned
+to
+her
+home
+But
+that
+night
+Mrs
+herself
+became
+disturbed
+by
+an
+unaccountable
+condition
+which
+prevented
+her
+from
+sleeping
+and
+her
+restlessness
+continued
+until
+ten
+o
+clock
+the
+following
+morning
+when
+in
+the
+midst
+of
+her
+preparations
+for
+dinner
+she
+suddenly
+became
+wild
+tore
+her
+hair
+and
+threatened
+to
+harm
+herself
+I
+was
+sent
+for
+and
+arriving
+found
+Mrs
+raving
+in
+a
+demented
+condition
+complaining
+of
+being
+chased
+here
+and
+there
+and
+being
+unable
+to
+find
+a
+resting
+place
+Suspecting
+the
+presence
+of
+an
+invisible
+entity
+I
+placed
+Mrs
+in
+a
+chair
+pinioned
+her
+arms
+to
+prevent
+a
+struggle
+and
+after
+several
+remarks
+the
+entity
+declared
+it
+was
+a
+man
+but
+denied
+being
+dead
+or
+obsessing
+a
+woman
+The
+spirit
+said
+his
+name
+was
+Jack
+that
+he
+was
+an
+uncle
+of
+the
+troubled
+waitress
+and
+that
+he
+had
+been
+a
+vagabond
+in
+life
+After
+reasoning
+with
+the
+intelligence
+he
+began
+to
+realize
+his
+situation
+and
+promising
+to
+cause
+no
+further
+annoyance
+left
+Mrs
+then
+immediately
+became
+her
+normal
+self
+and
+returned
+to
+her
+work
+without
+any
+further
+disturbance
+It
+was
+later
+ascertained
+from
+the
+waitress
+that
+she
+had
+bad
+an
+uncle
+named
+Jack
+who
+had
+been
+a
+vagabond
+and
+that
+he
+was
+dead
+In
+this
+experience
+Mrs
+had
+acted
+as
+the
+psychic
+intermediary
+to
+whom
+the
+spirit
+obsessing
+the
+waitress
+had
+been
+transferred
+A
+number
+of
+years
+ago
+Dr
+Lydston
+wrote
+in
+the
+Chicago
+papers
+of
+a
+patient
+who
+although
+having
+no
+knowledge
+of
+French
+or
+music
+sang
+well
+the
+Marseillaise
+in
+French
+when
+placed
+under
+the
+influence
+of
+an
+anesthetic
+Dr
+Lydston
+denying
+the
+continued
+existence
+of
+the
+ego
+explained
+this
+phenomenon
+as
+one
+of
+subliminal
+consciousness
+or
+unconscious
+memory
+comnparing
+it
+with
+the
+case
+of
+the
+uneducated
+domestic
+who
+in
+delirium
+recited
+classic
+Latin
+as
+perfectly
+as
+her
+former
+employer
+a
+Professor
+of
+Latin
+had
+done
+during
+his
+life
+I
+replied
+in
+a
+newspaper
+article
+that
+such
+phenomena
+were
+frequently
+met
+with
+in
+psychic
+research
+and
+stated
+that
+despite
+the
+classification
+of
+materialistic
+scientists
+these
+cases
+clearly
+proved
+the
+posthumous
+existence
+of
+spirits
+and
+their
+ability
+to
+communicate
+through
+mortals
+I
+added
+that
+if
+the
+truth
+were
+known
+about
+these
+two
+cases
+we
+would
+find
+that
+the
+man
+who
+sang
+French
+was
+a
+psychic
+sensitive
+and
+had
+at
+the
+time
+been
+controlled
+by
+some
+outside
+intelligence
+while
+in
+all
+probability
+the
+domestic
+who
+recited
+Latin
+was
+obsessed
+by
+the
+spirit
+of
+the
+former
+professor
+Shortly
+after
+this
+the
+gentleman
+alluded
+to
+by
+Dr
+Lydston
+called
+on
+me
+having
+read
+my
+article
+and
+said
+I
+don
+t
+know
+anything
+about
+French
+but
+I
+do
+know
+that
+I
+am
+bothered
+to
+death
+by
+spirits
+In
+the
+study
+of
+cases
+of
+Multiple
+Personalities
+Dissociated
+Personalities
+or
+Disintegrated
+States
+of
+Consciousness
+modern
+psychologists
+disclaim
+the
+possibility
+of
+foreign
+intelligences
+on
+the
+ground
+that
+these
+personalities
+give
+neither
+evidence
+of
+supernormal
+knowledge
+nor
+of
+being
+of
+spiritistic
+origin
+Our
+experience
+to
+the
+contrary
+has
+proven
+that
+the
+majority
+of
+these
+intelligences
+are
+oblivious
+of
+their
+transition
+and
+hence
+it
+does
+not
+enter
+their
+minds
+that
+they
+are
+spirits
+and
+they
+are
+loath
+to
+recognize
+the
+fact
+In
+the
+case
+of
+Miss
+Beauchamp
+as
+recorded
+by
+Dr
+Morton
+Prince
+in
+The
+Dissociation
+of
+a
+Personality
+reporting
+four
+alternating
+personalities
+no
+claim
+was
+made
+that
+any
+outside
+intelligences
+were
+responsible
+for
+the
+various
+personalities
+and
+yet
+Sally
+personality
+insisted
+that
+she
+herself
+was
+not
+the
+same
+as
+Miss
+Beauchamp
+Christine
+that
+her
+own
+consciousness
+was
+distinct
+from
+that
+of
+Miss
+Beauchamp
+and
+told
+of
+Miss
+Beauchamp
+s
+learning
+to
+walk
+and
+talk
+When
+she
+was
+a
+very
+little
+girl
+just
+learning
+to
+walk
+I
+remember
+her
+thoughts
+distinctly
+as
+separate
+from
+mine
+Similarly
+in
+the
+case
+of
+Bernice
+Redick
+of
+Ohio
+the
+young
+school
+girl
+who
+constantly
+changed
+from
+her
+normal
+self
+to
+the
+personality
+of
+Polly
+an
+unruly
+child
+every
+indication
+is
+given
+of
+the
+influence
+of
+a
+discarnate
+spirit
+probably
+ignorant
+of
+being
+dead
+controlling
+Miss
+Redick
+That
+such
+personalities
+are
+independent
+entities
+could
+easily
+be
+proven
+under
+proper
+conditions
+by
+transference
+of
+the
+same
+to
+a
+psychic
+intermediary
+as
+similar
+experiments
+have
+so
+abundantly
+demonstrated
+Any
+attempt
+to
+explain
+our
+experiences
+on
+the
+theory
+of
+the
+Subconscious
+Mind
+and
+Auto
+Suggestion
+or
+Multiple
+Personalities
+would
+be
+untenable
+since
+it
+is
+manifestly
+impossible
+that
+Mrs
+Wickland
+should
+have
+a
+thousand
+personalities
+and
+since
+it
+is
+so
+readily
+possible
+to
+cause
+transference
+of
+psychosis
+from
+a
+supposedly
+insane
+person
+to
+Mrs
+Wickland
+relieving
+the
+victim
+and
+in
+this
+way
+discovering
+that
+the
+disturbance
+was
+due
+to
+a
+discarnate
+entity
+whose
+identity
+can
+often
+be
+verified
+Individuals
+who
+are
+clairaudient
+suffer
+greatly
+from
+the
+constant
+annoyance
+of
+hearing
+the
+voices
+of
+obsessing
+entities
+the
+auditory
+hallucinations
+frequently
+observed
+by
+alienists
+and
+when
+such
+a
+person
+is
+present
+in
+a
+psychic
+circle
+where
+the
+spirits
+are
+dislodged
+and
+transferred
+to
+the
+psychic
+intermediary
+interesting
+developments
+occur
+An
+illustration
+is
+the
+case
+of
+Mrs
+Burton
+a
+clairaudient
+patient
+who
+was
+constantly
+combatting
+obsessing
+spirits
+and
+who
+while
+attending
+our
+circle
+was
+relieved
+of
+her
+unwelcome

+In

+of

+He

+struck
+at

+of

+anxious
+to
+have
+everybody
+know

+pretty
+hard
+sometimes
+to

+children
+Sp
+I
+wish

+much

+so
+glad
+I
+can
+come
+to
+you
+again
+The
+other
+day
+Uncle
+F
+Uncle
+C
+and
+I
+went
+to
+the
+earth
+sphere
+not
+to
+our
+home
+but
+to
+the
+condition
+that
+exists
+on
+the
+lower
+plane
+That
+is
+more
+of
+a
+hell
+than
+anybody
+can
+describe
+It
+s
+worse
+than
+an
+insane
+asylum
+where
+one
+is
+crazy
+in
+one
+way
+and
+another
+in
+another
+way
+You
+can
+t
+imagine
+what
+a
+hell
+it
+is
+One
+has
+one
+creed
+one
+another
+and
+they
+are
+all
+in
+the
+dark
+They
+are
+all
+hypnotized
+in
+their
+creeds
+and
+beliefs
+and
+you
+can
+not
+get
+any
+sense
+whatever
+into
+them
+You
+have
+to
+put
+some
+object
+lesson
+before
+them
+to
+attract
+their
+attention
+At
+times
+music
+will
+make
+them
+realize
+their
+condition
+If
+you
+can
+attract
+their
+attention
+you
+can
+sometimes
+reach
+the
+real
+spirit
+but
+dogmas
+and
+creeds
+are
+so
+planted
+in
+their
+minds
+that
+they
+cannot
+see
+anything
+If
+you
+want
+to
+realize
+in
+part
+what
+the
+condition
+of
+the
+earth
+sphere
+is
+go
+to
+the
+worst
+ward
+in
+an
+insane
+asylum
+and
+you
+can
+then
+have
+some
+realization
+of
+the
+condition
+on
+the
+invisible
+side
+when
+they
+have
+no
+knowledge
+of
+the
+next
+life
+Imagine
+a
+spirit
+of
+that
+character
+coming
+in
+contact
+with
+a
+person
+s
+magnetic
+aura
+and
+acting
+through
+him
+as
+is
+often
+the
+case
+They
+call
+that
+person
+insane
+and
+send
+him
+to
+the
+insane
+asylum
+where
+there
+are
+a
+lot
+of
+other
+lunatics
+both
+of
+earth
+and
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+It
+is
+terrible
+to
+know
+that
+such
+a
+condition
+exists
+and
+that
+selfish
+creeds
+And
+dogmas
+are
+the
+cause
+of
+it
+all
+I
+have
+to
+thank
+you
+and
+mother
+again
+for
+not
+forcing
+any
+dogma
+on
+me
+what
+little
+knowledge
+I
+had
+was
+the
+real
+truth
+of
+life
+Uncle

+took
+me
+at
+another
+time
+to
+different
+conditions

+said
+Come
+we
+will
+go
+and
+we
+went

+some
+place
+in

+came
+to
+a
+place
+which
+I
+cannot
+describe
+I
+can
+t
+describe
+my
+feelings
+I
+can
+t
+describe
+the
+conditions
+because
+the
+music

+so
+sublime
+so
+different
+from
+anything
+I
+have
+ever
+heard
+I
+felt
+so

+I
+felt

+enjoyed
+it
+but
+Oh

+could
+not
+realize
+its
+full
+import

+SPIRITS
+may
+purposely
+torment
+helpless
+sensitives
+sometimes
+for
+revenge
+but
+more
+often
+with
+a
+desire
+to
+punish
+the
+latter
+who
+they
+declare
+are
+interfering
+with
+them
+These
+tormenting
+spirits
+frequently
+cause
+their
+victims
+to
+commit
+deeds
+of
+violence
+upon
+themselves
+and
+do
+not
+seem
+to
+suffer
+from
+pain
+which
+they
+inflict
+upon
+the
+physical

+often
+dashed

+At

+wanting

+for

+which

+latter
+had

+The
+situation
+had
+existed
+during
+his
+life
+but
+he
+did
+not
+discover
+this
+until
+after
+his
+death
+The

+gave
+the

+of
+a
+man
+prominent
+in
+local
+business
+circles
+he
+had
+passed
+out
+some
+time
+before
+but
+was
+not
+aware
+of
+the
+fact
+He
+said
+that
+he
+had
+been

+for
+a
+long
+time
+but
+could
+now
+go
+where
+he
+pleased
+without
+any
+trouble
+for
+he
+had
+become
+well
+He
+could
+not

+why

+no

+speak
+to
+him
+or
+why
+his
+child
+who
+had
+always
+been
+so
+affectionate
+was
+now
+so
+cold
+toward
+him
+He
+declared
+that
+some
+of
+his

+were
+false
+to
+him
+and
+had
+for
+some
+time
+been
+paying

+that
+he
+would
+have
+revenge
+on
+them
+as
+soon
+as
+he
+was
+through
+with
+his
+present
+victim
+The
+spirit
+said
+that
+he
+could
+not
+think
+very
+clearly
+but
+supposed
+that
+was
+because
+he
+had
+recently
+taken
+an
+anaesthetic
+which
+he
+thought
+also
+accounted
+for
+the
+peculiar
+lightness
+of
+his
+body
+and
+a
+feeling
+of
+having
+no
+weight
+He
+was
+puzzled
+by
+the
+fact
+that
+whenever
+he
+thought
+about
+any
+persons
+he
+immediately
+found
+himself
+with
+them
+and
+involved
+in
+their
+affairs
+Recently
+he
+had
+been
+around
+Mr
+P
+but

+not
+get

+done
+a
+lot
+of
+swearing
+kept
+the
+man
+awake
+made
+him
+go
+to
+work
+early
+and
+had
+annoyed
+him
+in
+every
+way
+possible
+After
+many
+explanations
+the
+spirit
+finally
+realized
+that
+he
+had
+died
+although
+this
+was
+at
+first
+difficult
+for
+him
+to
+comprehend
+for

+then
+told
+us
+that
+they
+had
+known
+this
+man
+in
+life
+that
+ten
+years
+before
+the
+quarry
+had
+been
+owned
+by
+three
+men
+one
+of
+whom
+desiring
+to
+own
+the
+quarry
+himself
+had
+bought
+the
+holdings
+of
+the
+second
+man
+but
+the
+third
+man
+who
+lived
+in
+the
+house
+by
+the
+quarry
+had
+refused
+to
+sell
+A
+few
+days
+later
+the
+third
+man
+was
+found
+dead
+and
+although
+there
+was
+no
+proof
+as
+to
+the
+identity
+of
+the
+murderer
+there
+was
+a
+strong
+suspicion
+in
+the
+neighborhood
+that
+the
+first
+partner
+was
+the
+perpetrator
+of
+the
+crime
+As
+time
+went
+on
+the
+owner
+of
+the
+stone
+quarry
+developed
+a
+strange
+reluctance
+to
+work
+the
+quarry
+and
+rumor
+said
+that
+he
+was
+haunted
+by
+his
+dead
+partner
+It
+became
+common
+report
+that
+the
+house
+nearby
+was
+haunted
+and
+when
+our
+friends
+had
+driven
+there
+a
+year
+before
+to
+pick
+berries
+they
+had
+had
+an
+unusual
+experience
+After
+placing
+the
+horse
+in
+the
+empty
+barn
+they
+noticed
+some
+berries
+in
+the
+yard
+and
+returned
+to
+the
+barn
+for
+a
+basket
+when
+the
+horse
+began
+to
+rear
+wildly
+and
+neighed
+in
+terror
+Stopping
+in
+amazement
+our
+friends
+heard
+a
+coarse
+laugh
+and
+looking
+about
+saw
+a
+grinning
+man
+standing
+in
+the
+doorway
+of
+the
+deserted
+house
+It
+was
+the
+man
+who
+had
+died
+several
+years
+before
+they
+had
+known
+him
+in
+life
+and
+recognized
+him
+now
+The
+man
+laughed
+and
+vanished
+and
+our
+friends
+rushed
+to
+the
+barn
+took
+the
+horse
+out
+and
+drove
+away
+in
+great
+haste
+We
+had
+a
+series
+of
+letters
+from
+Mrs
+G
+G
+who
+resided
+in
+a
+village
+in
+New
+York
+she
+was
+a
+psychic
+and
+clairvoyant
+whose
+house
+was
+haunted
+by
+a
+band
+of
+evil
+spirits
+She
+wrote
+that
+she
+had
+been
+in
+the
+best
+of
+health
+when
+she
+had
+moved
+into
+this
+house
+but
+had
+soon
+become
+afflicted
+with
+a
+strange
+ailment
+of
+the
+arms
+and
+legs
+which
+no
+doctors
+could
+relieve
+Spirits
+who
+claimed
+to
+be
+her
+guides
+advised
+her
+to
+have
+a
+psychic
+circle
+every
+evening
+and
+sit
+for
+half
+an
+hour
+saying
+they
+could
+help
+her
+in
+this
+way
+They
+explained
+that
+she
+was
+being
+injured
+by
+the
+spirit
+of
+the
+woman
+who
+had
+built
+the
+house
+and
+that
+she
+could
+free
+herself
+by
+having
+a
+certain
+friend
+of
+hers
+attend
+the
+next
+circle
+This
+friend
+came
+and
+the
+spirit
+said
+she
+would
+leave
+with
+this
+woman
+When
+the
+latter
+reached
+her
+home
+she
+was
+taken
+with
+the
+same
+sickness
+with
+which
+Mrs
+G
+G
+had
+been
+troubled
+while
+Mrs
+G
+G
+recovered
+But
+disturbances
+of
+various
+kinds
+continued
+in
+the
+house
+even
+the
+orchard
+was
+haunted
+and
+spirits
+were
+heard
+to
+say
+that
+Mrs
+G
+G
+could
+not
+live
+if
+she
+remained
+there
+for
+they
+would
+kill
+any
+one
+who
+came
+into
+that
+house
+The
+G
+s
+sold
+the
+house
+and
+moved
+away
+without
+telling
+the
+purchasers
+anything
+of
+their
+mysterious
+experiences
+The
+new
+owners
+took
+possession
+of
+the
+house
+and
+the
+mother
+an
+elderly
+lady
+went
+to
+bed
+the
+first
+night
+apparently
+well
+but
+in
+a
+short
+time
+screamed
+that
+two
+men
+had
+come
+into
+her
+room
+threatening
+to
+kill
+her
+and
+before
+morning
+she
+was
+dead
+Mrs
+G
+G
+however
+continued
+her
+circles
+but
+was
+unable
+to
+rid
+herself
+of
+spirit
+influences
+and
+finally
+wrote
+to
+us
+for
+aid
+There
+is
+no
+one
+I
+can
+go
+to
+or
+depend
+upon
+I
+joined
+the
+New
+Thought
+Society
+to
+be
+helped
+they
+claimed
+to
+send
+out
+vibrations
+but
+I
+failed
+to
+get
+in
+on
+the
+wave
+No
+one
+prays
+more
+earnestly
+for

+than
+or
+tries
+harder
+to
+do
+right
+Tell
+me
+if
+you
+can
+how
+to
+get
+relief
+We
+concentrated
+for
+the
+lady
+as
+well
+as
+the
+house
+and
+a
+number
+of
+spirits
+were
+brought
+from
+both
+One
+of
+the
+first
+declared
+that
+he
+did
+not
+know
+he
+was
+obsessing
+Mrs
+G
+G
+Another
+spirit
+was
+Harry
+Harris
+who
+had
+so
+brutally
+mistreated
+his
+wife
+that
+she
+had
+shot
+herself
+How
+his
+life
+had
+ended
+we
+did
+not
+learn
+He
+insisted
+that
+he
+was
+not
+dead
+but
+was
+living
+in
+an
+old
+house
+with
+a
+band
+of
+outlaws
+spirits
+and
+that
+they
+would
+kill
+any
+one
+who
+dared
+to
+move
+into
+their
+house
+Another
+evening
+four
+spirits
+were
+brought
+from
+the
+haunted
+house
+first
+two
+women
+then
+Pete
+who
+had
+been
+a
+dexterous
+pickpocket
+in

+and
+a
+woman
+named
+Kate
+who
+had
+been
+killed
+by
+Pete
+and
+had
+hounded
+him
+ever
+since
+To
+conceal
+himself
+Pete
+was
+hiding
+with
+others
+in
+a
+house
+that
+belonged
+to
+them
+and
+to
+no

+else
+We

+He
+admitted
+having
+troubled
+Mrs
+G
+G
+I
+stayed
+with
+her
+to

+he
+said
+While
+Pete
+was
+speaking
+Kate
+took
+control
+of
+another
+medium
+who
+was
+in
+the
+circle
+and
+Pete
+was
+terror
+stricken
+while
+Kate
+attempted
+to
+escape
+from
+him
+Each
+thought
+the
+other
+was
+a
+ghost
+and
+neither
+was
+aware
+of
+controlling
+a
+psychic
+It
+was
+some
+time
+before
+they
+realized
+that
+both
+had
+died
+Finally
+Pete
+sank
+on
+his
+knees
+and
+begged
+Kate
+to
+forgive
+him
+a
+reconciliation
+followed
+and
+both
+left

+Later
+Mrs

+wrote
+that
+she
+had
+greatly
+improved
+In
+answer
+to
+an
+urgent
+appeal
+for
+help
+Mrs
+Wickland
+and
+I
+called
+at
+the
+home
+of
+Mr
+and
+Mrs
+C
+in
+Pasadena
+where
+nightly
+rappings
+and
+noises
+were
+keeping
+the
+family
+awake
+for
+hours
+Mr
+C
+had
+purchased
+this
+house
+from
+the
+children
+of
+an
+elderly
+lady
+who
+had
+died
+some
+time
+before
+A
+fact
+not

+us
+until
+later
+The

+had
+been
+moved
+to
+Mr

+s
+lot
+remodeled
+there
+and
+the
+C
+s
+had
+then
+moved
+into
+it
+only
+to
+be
+disturbed
+by
+noises
+of
+all
+kinds
+Every
+night
+between
+twelve
+and
+four
+the
+door
+of
+a
+closet
+between
+two
+bedrooms
+was
+shaken
+and
+rattled
+loudly
+and
+rappings
+and
+crackings
+kept
+the
+family
+awake
+While
+we
+were
+seated
+in
+one
+of
+the
+rooms
+of
+the
+C
+home
+discussing
+the
+situation
+Mrs
+Wickland
+became
+unexpectedly
+entranced
+by
+a
+spirit
+who
+complained
+of
+intense
+rheumatism
+and
+stormed
+at
+the
+C
+s
+for
+living
+in
+her
+house
+This
+is
+my
+house
+she
+declared
+peremptorily
+and
+these
+people
+have
+no
+business
+in
+it
+I
+will
+chase
+them
+out
+The
+controlling
+spirit
+proved
+to
+be
+the
+former
+owner
+of
+the
+house
+and
+later
+inquiry
+bore
+out
+the
+statement
+that
+she
+had
+suffered
+severely
+from
+rheumatism
+She
+could
+not
+realize
+that
+she
+was
+dead
+but
+insisted
+that
+she
+was
+still
+living
+in
+her
+own
+house
+although
+troubled
+by
+intruders
+If
+I
+am
+dead
+why
+am
+I
+not
+in
+Heaven
+she
+asked
+Many
+explanations
+at
+last
+resulted
+in
+understanding
+and
+a
+penitent
+departure
+and
+in
+a
+letter
+written
+several
+months
+later
+Mr
+C
+stated
+that
+all
+noises
+had
+entirely
+ceased
+in
+the
+house
+That
+spirits
+often
+play
+a
+serious
+part
+in
+domestic
+disturbances
+and
+break
+up
+many
+homes
+we
+have
+had
+ample
+evidence
+A
+patient
+Mrs
+SI
+who
+was
+brought
+to
+us
+from
+a
+Northern
+state
+was
+the
+second
+wife
+of
+a
+Dakota
+farmer
+After
+the
+birth
+of
+her
+first
+child
+she
+developed
+a
+tendency
+to
+wander
+away
+at
+random
+and
+when
+brought
+back
+and
+questioned
+she
+could
+only
+give
+vague
+answers
+but
+always
+insisted
+that
+her
+husband
+a
+steady
+reliable
+farmer
+was
+faithless
+to
+her
+When
+the
+obsessing
+spirit
+was
+transferred
+to
+Mrs
+Wickland
+we
+found
+that
+it
+was
+none
+other
+than
+the
+first
+wife
+who
+indignantly
+accused
+her
+husband
+of
+being
+faithless
+to
+her
+and
+said
+that
+she
+was
+determined
+to
+get
+rid
+of
+her
+rival
+After
+passing
+out
+of
+the
+physical
+body
+she
+had
+remained
+on
+the
+farm
+but
+she
+was
+unaware
+of
+her
+death
+and
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+her
+rival
+was
+her
+husband
+s
+second
+wife
+The
+spirit
+after
+due
+explanation
+and
+enlightenment
+left
+and
+Mrs
+SI
+restored
+to
+herself
+returned
+to
+her
+Dakota
+home
+We
+had
+a
+similar
+experience
+with
+an
+acquaintance
+of
+ours
+a
+gentleman
+whose
+first
+wife
+had
+died
+leaving
+him
+to
+care
+for
+their
+small
+son
+Later
+he
+married
+again
+but
+before
+long
+we
+noticed
+that
+the
+family
+life
+was
+becoming
+unhappy
+and
+the
+culmination
+came
+one
+Sunday
+morning
+when
+the
+second
+wife
+angrily
+left
+the
+house
+The
+husband
+desolately
+came
+to
+our
+home
+followed
+presently
+by
+the
+little
+boy
+and
+although
+they
+had
+never
+visited
+us
+before
+they
+remained
+for
+some
+hours
+In
+the
+evening
+the
+boy
+returned
+and
+while
+Mrs
+Wickland
+was
+conversing
+with
+him
+and
+a
+group
+of
+friends
+she
+became
+controlled
+by
+the
+spirit
+of
+a
+woman
+who
+said
+she
+was
+the
+boy
+s
+mother
+She
+had
+no
+knowledge
+of
+her
+death
+and
+craved
+longingly
+to
+caress
+her
+small
+son
+saying
+I
+want
+my
+boy
+I
+want
+my
+boy
+Then
+she
+burst
+forth
+into
+a
+jealous
+denunciation
+of
+her
+successor
+and
+declared
+she
+would
+drive
+her
+out
+of
+the
+house
+I
+chased
+her
+away
+this
+morning
+she
+exulted
+She
+too
+was
+finally
+made
+to
+understand
+the
+true
+situation
+and
+regretting
+the
+suffering
+she
+had
+caused
+promised
+to
+do
+everything
+possible
+to
+make
+amends
+The
+second
+wife
+returned
+home
+again
+and
+during
+the
+ten
+years
+which
+have
+elapsed
+since
+this
+episode
+no
+further
+disturbances
+have
+occurred
+in
+the
+family
+Miss
+L
+was
+the
+young
+fiancee
+of
+a
+widower
+who
+had
+formerly
+with
+his
+wife
+occupied
+a
+flat
+in
+the
+same
+building
+in
+which
+the
+Young
+lady
+lived
+and
+the
+two
+women
+had
+been
+intimate
+friends
+The
+wife
+died
+very
+suddenly
+and
+some
+time
+after
+her
+death
+the
+gentleman
+became
+engaged
+to
+the
+young
+lady
+Soon
+after
+this
+the
+latter
+began
+to
+show
+mental
+abnormalities
+which
+continually
+grew
+worse
+In
+her
+normal
+condition
+she
+esteemed
+the
+man
+highly
+but
+when
+she
+came
+to
+us
+she
+had
+a
+violent
+dislike
+for
+him
+and
+asserted
+that
+she
+would
+rather
+die
+or
+go
+to
+an
+insane
+asylum
+than
+marry
+him
+She
+had
+made
+several
+attempts
+to
+end
+her
+life
+but
+had
+each
+time
+seemed
+to
+come
+to
+herself
+at
+the
+last
+moment
+and
+called
+for
+help
+At
+the
+time
+the
+patient
+entered
+the
+Institute
+Mrs
+Wickland
+clairvoyantly
+saw
+the
+spirit
+of
+a
+woman
+of
+the
+brunette
+type
+possessing
+the
+patient
+who
+was
+a
+decided
+blond
+This
+spirit
+was
+so
+interblended
+with
+the
+patient
+that
+it
+was
+difficult
+for
+Mrs
+Wickland
+to
+determine
+from
+the
+transfiguration
+whether
+the
+patient
+was
+light
+or
+dark
+When
+Mrs
+Wickland
+described
+this
+spirit
+the
+patient
+s
+mother
+and
+fiance
+both
+recognized
+her
+as
+the
+man
+s
+former
+wife
+The
+patient
+proved
+very
+obdurate
+screaming
+spells
+alternated
+with
+obstinate
+stubborn
+moods
+and
+she
+could
+not
+be
+left
+alone
+at
+any
+time
+She
+declared
+herself
+insane
+and
+scoffed
+at
+being
+cured
+and
+insisted
+that
+she
+wanted
+to
+die
+for
+if
+she
+lived
+she
+would
+have
+to
+marry
+that
+man
+One
+day
+during
+a
+treatment
+she
+entered
+a
+semi
+trance
+condition
+and
+a
+spirit
+intelligence
+expressed
+itself
+forcefully
+He
+shall
+never
+marry
+her
+He
+shall
+never
+have
+her
+I
+will
+drive
+her
+to
+an
+insane
+asylum
+or
+I
+will
+kill
+her
+but
+he
+shall
+never
+have
+her
+Immediately
+following
+this
+the
+spirit
+of
+a
+child
+spoke
+defensively
+as
+if
+protecting
+a
+mother
+The
+patient
+s
+sister
+who
+was
+present
+recognized
+in
+the
+latter
+intelligence
+the
+deceased
+thirteen
+year
+old
+son
+of
+the
+dead
+wife
+The
+climax
+came
+a
+few
+days
+later
+The
+patient
+had
+been
+unusually
+obstinate
+and
+unruly
+and
+very
+contemptuous
+to
+her
+fiance
+when
+he
+called
+After
+a
+strong
+treatment
+was
+administered
+the
+patient
+became
+quiet
+and
+slept
+well
+that
+night
+However
+during
+the
+night
+Mrs
+Wickland
+was
+greatly
+troubled
+by
+the
+presence
+of
+a
+spirit
+who
+annoyed
+her
+until
+four
+o
+clock
+in
+the
+morning
+when
+she
+became
+completely
+entranced
+by
+the
+spirit
+of
+the
+man
+s
+former
+wife
+After
+considerable
+effort
+I
+induced
+the
+spirit
+to
+talk
+but
+she
+was
+with
+difficulty
+convinced
+of
+her
+real
+situation
+that
+she
+was
+a
+spirit
+and
+controlling
+Mrs
+Wickland
+s
+body
+She
+strongly
+censured
+both
+her
+forrner
+husband
+and
+our
+patient
+for
+their
+treachery
+to
+her
+and
+repeated
+her
+threats
+against
+the
+girl
+I
+will
+send
+her
+to
+the
+asylum
+I
+will
+kill
+her
+she
+declared
+A
+great
+deal
+of
+argument
+and
+persuasion
+were
+needed
+to
+bring
+the
+spirit
+to
+repentance
+but
+this
+was
+at
+last
+accomplished
+Upon
+being
+asked
+if
+her
+son
+was
+with
+her
+she
+said
+that
+she
+had
+seen
+him
+at
+times
+but
+that
+he
+was
+dead
+and
+she
+did
+not
+want
+to
+have
+anything
+to
+do
+with
+him
+The
+spirit
+was
+urged
+to
+leave
+the
+young
+woman
+whom
+she
+was
+tormenting
+and
+go
+with
+other
+spirit
+intelligences
+to
+a
+higher
+life
+of
+which
+she
+showed
+herself
+entirely
+ignorant
+Although
+repentant
+she
+still
+longed
+to
+remain
+on
+the
+earth
+plane
+but
+finally
+consented
+to
+leave
+and
+to
+cease
+troubling
+the
+patient
+then
+she
+suddenly
+became
+weak
+and
+declared
+she
+was
+dying
+This
+sensation
+often
+occurs
+when
+spirits
+realize
+their
+actual
+situation
+sometimes
+they
+again
+experience
+the
+physical
+conditions
+under
+which
+they
+passed
+out
+of
+their
+earth
+bodies
+Chills
+and
+violent
+attacks
+of
+coughing
+added
+to
+the
+spirit
+s
+distress
+and
+after
+a
+painful
+pseudo
+death
+struggle
+she
+left
+These
+symptoms
+were
+recognized
+by
+her
+husband
+and
+the
+patient
+s
+mother
+as
+corresponding
+exactly
+with
+those
+manifested
+by
+the
+man
+s
+wife
+at
+the
+time
+of
+her
+death
+from
+pneumonia
+After
+this
+the
+patient
+recovered
+rapidly
+She
+was
+soon
+able
+to
+leave
+the
+Institute
+is
+now
+well
+and
+happily
+married
+A
+peculiar
+case
+was
+that
+of
+Mr
+Me
+a
+well
+known
+man
+in
+Chicago
+whose
+family
+name
+is
+one
+of
+highest
+social
+prominence
+This
+man
+suddenly
+began
+to
+act
+strangely
+he
+shunned
+the
+members
+of
+his
+family
+and
+told
+his
+wife
+and
+relatives
+that
+he
+wished
+to
+live
+on
+a
+higher
+plane
+and
+wanted
+nothing
+more
+to
+do
+with
+them
+Then
+one
+day
+he
+packed
+his
+trunk
+and
+left
+home
+going
+to
+live
+in
+a
+small
+room
+which
+he
+had
+rented
+in
+the
+lowest
+section
+of
+the
+city
+We
+had
+never
+seen
+this
+gentleman
+but
+a
+relative
+of
+his
+who
+knew
+of
+our
+work
+asked
+us
+to
+concentrate
+for
+him
+at
+our
+next
+psychic
+circle
+we
+did
+so
+and
+a
+spirit
+was
+brought
+who
+controlled
+Mrs
+Wickland
+After
+some
+solicitation
+she
+gave
+her
+full
+name
+confessing
+that
+she
+had
+been
+the
+first
+wife
+of
+Mr
+Me
+and
+she
+then
+told
+her
+story
+She
+had
+met
+Mr
+Me
+in
+Chicago
+during
+the
+World
+s
+Fair
+and
+for
+a
+time
+they
+had
+lived
+together
+without
+the
+formality
+of
+marriage
+until
+his
+relatives
+discovered
+the
+situation
+and
+compelled
+them
+to
+marry
+The
+girl
+was
+accepted
+in
+society
+but
+rebelled
+at
+the
+restraints
+of
+conventional
+life
+and
+being
+of
+a
+vain
+and
+restless
+disposition
+could
+not
+live
+happily
+with
+her
+husband
+She
+finally
+left
+him
+and
+went
+to
+the
+west
+side
+where
+she
+entered
+a
+house
+of
+ill
+repute
+Although
+at
+times
+she
+regretted
+the
+folly
+of
+her
+conduct
+she
+continued
+her
+mode
+of
+living
+became
+a
+morphine
+addict
+and
+finally
+committed
+suicide
+After
+her
+death
+she
+had
+returned
+to
+her
+husband
+and
+when
+he
+married
+again
+she
+felt
+angrily
+aggrieved
+and
+at
+last
+influenced
+him
+to
+leave
+his
+wife
+and
+child
+to
+go
+to
+quarters
+where
+she
+herself
+felt
+more
+at
+home
+We
+convinced
+her
+of
+the
+great
+wrong
+she
+was
+doing
+in
+controlling
+her
+former
+husband
+in
+this
+manner
+and
+after
+she
+had
+obtained
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+progress
+awaiting
+her
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+she
+promised
+to
+leave
+wishing
+to
+attain
+a
+higher
+condition
+When
+next
+we
+saw
+the
+relative
+of
+Mr
+Me
+who
+had
+asked
+us
+to
+concentrate
+for
+him
+we
+told
+her
+of
+the
+story
+related
+by
+the
+spirit
+and
+in
+amazement
+she
+admitted
+it
+was
+true
+in
+every
+detail
+that
+the
+name
+given
+was
+correct
+and
+that
+Mr
+Me
+had
+been
+married
+before
+but
+that
+the
+unfortunate
+episode
+had
+been
+regarded
+by
+the
+family
+as
+a
+skeleton
+in
+the
+closet
+and
+was
+never
+mentioned
+She
+later
+reported
+that
+Mr
+Me
+had
+returned
+to
+his
+home
+normal
+and
+sane
+and
+was

+In
+many
+cases

+revolting

+will

+that
+the
+crimes
+were
+committed
+by
+innocent
+persons
+under
+the
+control
+of
+disembodied
+spirits
+who
+had

+There

+the
+murder
+of
+Stanford
+White
+by
+Harry
+K
+Thaw
+in
+at
+Madison
+Square
+Roof
+Garden
+New

+whatever

+fancied
+injustice
+done

+Harry

+was
+enacted
+a

+by

+the

+On
+July
+several

+after
+the

+occurred
+a
+strange
+spirit
+controlled
+Mrs

+during

+and
+fell
+prostrate
+to
+the

+Placing
+the

+in
+a
+chair
+I
+began
+questioning
+the
+controlling
+intelligence
+The
+stranger
+strenuously
+objected
+to
+being
+touched
+brusquely
+demanded
+to
+be
+left
+alone
+and
+called
+out
+Hey

+Holding

+Have

+that

+I
+was
+about
+to
+ask
+further
+questions
+when
+the
+spirit
+s
+attention
+was
+attracted
+to
+some
+invisible
+and
+he
+began
+to
+tremble
+with
+fear
+Are
+you
+seeing
+dead
+people
+I
+asked
+He
+nodded
+his
+head
+violently
+then
+shouted
+They
+are
+after
+me
+and
+jumping
+from
+the
+chair
+ran
+to
+a
+corner
+of
+the
+room
+in
+an
+effort
+to
+escape
+His
+agitation
+was
+so
+great
+that
+he
+lost
+control
+of
+the
+psychic
+and
+was
+gone
+Immediately
+another
+spirit
+took
+possession
+of
+the
+psychic
+and
+in
+great
+excitement
+began
+to
+walk
+back
+and
+forth
+exclaiming
+exultantly
+I
+killed
+the
+dog
+I
+killed
+the
+dog
+There
+he
+lies
+pointing
+at
+the

+toward

+had
+lost

+The
+dog
+I
+have
+been
+looking
+for
+a
+chance
+to
+kill
+him
+for
+several
+years
+and
+I
+got
+him
+at
+last
+The
+dog
+I
+forced
+the
+spirit
+to
+sit
+down
+and
+learned
+that
+his
+name
+was
+Johnson
+I
+killed
+Stanford
+White
+he
+boasted
+He
+deserved
+death
+He
+had
+trifled
+too
+long
+with
+our
+daughters
+He
+was
+very
+pronounced
+in
+his
+denunciation
+of
+society
+men
+They
+steal
+our
+children
+from
+us
+and
+put
+fine
+clothes
+on
+them
+and
+the
+parents
+do
+not
+know
+what
+becomes
+of
+them
+I
+asked
+the
+spirit
+whether
+he
+was
+aware
+of
+being
+dead
+but
+he
+laughed
+at
+the
+idea
+and
+said
+How
+could
+a
+dead
+person
+talk
+The
+doctor
+said
+I
+had
+consumption
+and
+would
+die
+soon
+but
+I
+didn
+t
+die
+I
+never
+felt
+better
+in
+my
+life
+When
+asked
+to
+carefully
+examine
+his
+hands
+feet
+and
+dress
+he
+demanded
+to
+know
+how
+he
+a
+man
+became
+possessed
+of
+a
+woman
+s
+body
+Lengthy
+argument
+finally
+convinced
+the
+perplexed
+spirit
+of
+the
+fact
+of
+his
+transition
+and
+he
+departed
+thoroughly
+penitent
+He
+was
+followed
+by
+a
+third
+entity
+but
+this
+intelligence
+was
+aware
+of
+being

+He
+was
+always
+erratic
+and
+so
+excitable
+that
+we
+were
+afraid
+to
+correct
+him
+for
+fear
+he
+would
+become
+insane
+But
+I
+see
+our
+mistake

+I

+not

+queer

+was
+in

+but
+now
+from
+the

+I
+can
+see
+that
+Harry
+has
+been
+a
+tool
+in
+the
+hands
+of
+selfish
+earthbound
+spirits
+most
+of
+his

+He
+was
+obsessed
+by
+revengeful
+spirits
+when
+he
+killed
+Stanford
+White
+I
+have
+tried
+to
+reach
+the

+world
+by
+every
+possible
+avenue
+to
+tell

+that

+is

+Please

+and
+to
+my

+We
+did
+not
+then
+know
+that
+Mr

+had
+been

+but
+verified

+afterward

+We

+to
+comply
+with

+wish
+of
+the

+then
+departed
+The
+following
+evening
+July
+another
+spirit
+came
+he
+seemed
+at
+first
+to
+be
+looking
+for
+some

+then
+asked
+Where
+did

+fellows
+go
+This

+also
+condemned
+high

+in
+general
+and
+denounced

+for

+foolishness
+The

+on

+They

+he
+declared
+and
+emphasized
+his
+words
+with
+suitable
+gestures
+This
+spirit
+was
+laboring
+under
+such
+great
+mental
+excitement
+that
+he
+suddenly
+lost
+control
+before
+I
+could
+ascertain
+any
+particulars
+On
+February
+the
+spirit
+of
+Mr
+Thaw
+returned
+and
+reiterated
+his
+statement
+that
+Harry
+was
+a
+psychic
+sensitive
+who
+was
+frequently
+subject
+to
+the
+influence
+of
+mischievous
+spirits

+also
+urged
+upon

+the
+great
+need
+for

+into

+a

+you
+were
+merely
+used

+spirits
+who
+hypnotized
+you
+With
+this
+new
+understanding
+the
+weary
+spirit
+was
+taken
+in
+charge
+by
+invisible
+helpers
+who
+told
+us
+that
+the
+Big
+Man
+and
+his
+accomplices
+had
+in
+earth
+life
+belonged
+to
+a

+in

+and
+America
+mutilating
+and
+killing
+many
+women
+in
+their

+mania
+Several

+The

+stupefied
+by

+and
+when
+finally
+aroused
+was
+so
+pugnacious
+that
+the
+aid
+of
+several
+persons
+was
+required
+to
+quiet
+him
+I

+The
+Fighter
+and
+I
+ll
+have
+you
+all
+shot
+he
+shouted
+Turning
+to
+some
+other
+invisibles
+he
+cursed
+them
+for
+having
+lured
+him
+to
+this
+place
+and
+commanded
+them
+to
+help
+him
+instead
+of
+standing
+idly
+by
+Subdued
+at
+last
+Charles
+The
+Fighter
+was
+compelled
+to
+listen
+to
+an
+elucidation
+of
+his
+real
+situation
+In
+an
+endeavor
+to
+convince
+him
+that
+he
+was
+controlling
+the
+body
+of
+another
+he
+was
+asked
+to
+examine
+the
+hands
+of
+the
+psychic
+Seeing
+the
+hand
+of
+a
+woman
+he
+shrank
+back
+terror
+stricken
+and
+cried
+Take
+that
+hand
+away
+Take
+it
+away
+I
+don
+t
+want
+to
+see
+it
+any
+more
+Questioned
+regarding

+he
+declared
+I
+shall
+never

+I
+would
+rather
+die
+Oh
+There
+is
+her
+face
+too
+And
+the
+hand
+that
+I
+cut
+off
+to
+get
+the
+diamond
+ring
+They
+haunted
+me
+all
+this
+time
+Looking
+about
+in
+horror
+he
+seemed
+to
+see
+a
+vast
+gathering
+of
+specters
+See
+all
+those
+faces
+Have
+I
+killed
+all
+those
+people
+Have
+they
+come
+to
+accuse
+me
+There
+There
+is
+that
+boy
+He
+was
+hung
+once
+but
+he
+seems
+to
+be
+after
+me
+too
+Ivens
+I
+killed
+the
+woman
+but
+I
+made
+him
+confess
+to

+I
+will
+fix
+you
+when
+I
+get
+out
+of
+this
+I
+will
+cut
+you
+all
+to
+pieces
+But
+at
+last
+Charles
+The
+Fighter
+realized
+that
+further
+resistance
+was
+useless
+and
+that
+his
+days
+of
+robbery
+and
+murder
+were
+over
+He
+told
+of
+his
+hideous
+career
+of
+crime
+and
+said
+that
+he
+murdered
+for
+revenge
+stole
+to
+buy
+whiskey
+and
+drank
+to
+drown
+his
+conscience
+and
+to
+escape
+the
+specters
+which
+constantly
+haunted
+him
+In
+early
+childhood
+he
+had
+been
+happy
+under
+the
+care
+of
+his
+own
+mother
+but
+after
+her
+death
+his
+stepmother
+had
+abused
+him
+so
+mercilessly
+that
+he
+often
+rushed
+sobbing
+to
+his
+room
+and
+on
+his
+knees
+prayed
+to
+his
+dead
+mother
+for
+help
+This
+roused
+the
+stepmother
+to
+a
+jealous
+fury
+and
+regardless
+of
+the
+protests
+of
+a
+weak
+father
+she
+had
+beaten
+him
+angrily
+forbidding
+him
+to
+ever
+mention
+the
+name
+of
+his
+mother
+again
+Her
+abuse
+grew
+into
+such
+a
+cruel
+tyranny
+that
+the
+boy
+had
+developed
+an
+over
+powering
+hatred
+for
+her
+and
+revengefully
+vowed
+that
+when
+he
+was
+grown
+he
+would
+kill
+every
+woman
+possible
+Consistently
+he
+had
+carried
+out
+his
+ghastly
+purpose
+and
+had
+given
+his
+entire
+life
+to
+plotting
+and
+perpetrating
+atrocities
+and
+crimes
+generally
+victimizing
+women
+Ile
+had
+died
+in
+during
+a
+wild
+fight
+with
+his
+companions
+but
+he
+had
+not
+been
+aware
+of
+the
+loss
+of
+his
+physical
+body
+He
+boasted
+that
+for
+many
+years
+he
+had
+continued
+his
+crimes
+always
+eluding
+the
+police
+Once
+in
+Boston
+I
+wanted
+to
+kill
+a
+policeman
+but
+when
+I
+sneaked
+up
+behind
+him
+and
+hit
+him
+on
+the
+head
+with
+a
+club
+the
+club
+went
+right
+through
+him
+and
+never
+hurt
+him
+He
+didn
+t
+even
+turn
+around
+The
+spirit
+thought
+himself
+now
+in
+the
+hands
+of
+authorities
+but
+declared
+that
+he
+was
+willing
+to
+give
+himself
+up
+to
+escape
+the
+haunting
+faces
+of
+his
+many
+victims
+I
+would
+be
+glad
+to
+go
+to
+bell
+to
+get
+away
+from
+this
+torment
+While
+listening
+to
+an

+The
+sight
+of
+her
+had
+an
+overwhelming
+effect
+the
+hardened
+criminal
+cowered
+in
+his
+seat
+and
+wept
+piteously
+while
+his
+mother
+pleaded
+with
+him
+to
+come
+with
+her
+and
+learn
+to
+expiate
+his
+crimes
+I
+Crushed
+by
+guilt
+and
+remorse
+he
+cried
+abjectly
+I
+cannot
+go

+Dear

+in
+Harry
+Hayward
+a
+handsome
+reprobate
+with
+a
+weakness
+for
+beautiful
+women
+and
+a

+and
+was
+hanged
+While

+On

+a

+asked
+us
+to
+concentrate
+for
+Mrs
+McA
+a
+patient
+whom
+she
+was
+attending
+arid
+whose
+case
+strongly
+suggested
+psychic
+invalidism
+chronic
+illness
+and
+lassitude
+due
+to
+spirit
+obsession
+The
+nurse
+was
+a
+psychic
+sensitive
+herself
+and
+surmised
+that
+many
+of
+the
+uncontrollable
+notions
+of
+her
+beautiful
+patient
+were
+caused
+by
+spirit
+obsession
+and
+had
+several
+times
+endeavored
+to
+order
+any
+intruder
+away
+One
+day
+Mrs

+developed
+an
+intense
+desire
+for
+homemade
+ice
+cream
+although
+ordinarily
+she
+did
+not
+care
+in
+the
+least
+for
+it
+But
+she
+insisted
+that
+her
+whim
+be
+satisfied
+at
+once
+putting
+her
+maids
+to
+a
+great
+deal
+of
+inconvenience
+When

+nurse
+entered
+the
+room
+with
+the
+ice
+cream
+she
+had
+a
+sudden
+feeling
+that
+some
+one
+had
+rushed
+upon
+her
+and
+the
+next
+instant
+was
+seized
+by
+so
+strong
+a
+feeling
+of
+choking
+that
+she
+was
+forced
+to
+leave
+the
+room
+Upon
+recovery
+she
+returned
+and
+convinced
+of
+the
+presence
+of
+a
+spirit
+flung
+a
+window
+open
+and
+silently
+ordered
+any
+foreign

+was
+I
+believed

+in

+I
+didn

+The
+doctrine
+was
+better
+than
+the
+church
+had
+taught
+but
+for
+a
+while
+I
+treated
+it
+more
+as
+a
+joke
+I
+talked
+about
+it
+quite
+a
+little
+to
+the
+watchman
+but
+when
+the
+time
+came
+for
+me
+to
+be
+hung
+I
+shrank
+from
+it
+It
+is
+a
+very
+strange
+sensation
+when
+you
+think
+you
+are
+going
+to
+the
+gallows
+and
+your
+life
+will
+be
+snapped
+out
+you
+cannot

+it
+feels
+You
+cannot
+imagine
+the
+sensation
+you
+have
+when
+you
+realize
+that
+you
+have
+only
+a
+few
+hours
+to
+live
+Still
+the
+little
+message
+which
+had
+been
+sent
+to
+me
+gave
+me
+a
+little
+courage
+and
+I
+thought
+probably
+only
+my
+body
+would
+be
+destroyed
+and
+not
+my
+spirit
+So
+at
+the
+last
+moment
+I
+kept
+up
+my
+courage
+and
+felt
+that
+I
+wanted
+to
+see
+What
+the
+hereafter
+was
+I
+have
+to
+thank
+the
+one
+who
+sent
+me
+that
+pamphlet
+because
+it
+was
+a
+bright
+cheerful
+spot
+to
+me
+at
+the
+last
+of
+my
+days
+When
+I
+realized
+that
+I
+had
+passed
+out
+of
+my
+body
+my
+first
+thought
+was
+I
+am
+not
+dead
+I
+went
+to
+my
+mother
+and
+I
+spoke
+to
+her
+and
+she
+felt
+my
+presence
+I
+still
+clung
+to
+my
+body
+however
+and
+I
+felt
+I
+could
+not
+leave
+it
+I
+got
+out
+of
+it
+quickly
+but
+I
+went
+back
+to
+it
+again
+When
+my
+body
+was
+cremated
+I
+stood
+by
+and
+saw
+it
+burned
+After
+that
+I
+walked
+around
+but
+I
+could
+not
+find
+the
+spirit
+world
+I
+walked
+and
+walked
+from
+one
+place
+to
+another
+I
+still
+had
+my
+feeling
+for
+nice
+pretty
+women
+so
+I
+traveled
+In
+a
+way
+I
+realized
+that
+I
+was
+dead
+yet
+I
+did
+not
+fully
+realize
+it
+One
+time
+I
+felt
+I
+would
+like
+to
+take
+a
+journey
+and
+I
+wanted
+to
+travel
+by

+I
+went
+to
+the
+ticket
+office
+to
+get
+a
+ticket
+but
+I
+had
+no
+money
+I
+thought
+I
+would
+talk
+to
+the
+agent
+nicely
+and
+he
+would
+give
+me
+a
+ticket
+but
+he
+paid
+no
+attention
+to
+me
+So
+I
+thought
+All

+I
+m
+going

+anyway
+so
+on
+I
+got
+I

+sit
+on

+until

+was
+ready
+to
+get
+off
+the

+about
+Christ
+and
+if
+there
+was
+what
+did
+I
+care
+I
+walked
+in
+the
+path
+of
+evil
+from
+the
+time
+I
+was
+a
+little
+boy
+until
+I
+got

+children
+please
+give
+them
+an
+understanding
+when
+they
+are
+little
+If
+they
+take
+anything
+from
+a
+person
+make
+them
+take
+it
+back
+where
+they
+got
+it
+Don
+t
+let
+them
+get
+the
+idea
+that
+you
+will
+take
+it
+from
+them
+and
+think
+it
+is
+all
+right
+If
+they
+steal
+once
+they
+will
+again
+if
+not
+properly
+taught
+When
+I
+stole
+my
+mother
+thought
+I
+was
+a
+smart
+boy
+I
+kept
+on
+going
+from
+bad
+to
+worse
+I
+belonged
+to
+a
+gang
+of
+about
+a
+dozen
+boys
+We
+got
+so
+bold
+and
+desperate
+that
+we
+did
+not
+care
+what
+became
+of
+us
+We
+got
+into
+all
+kinds
+of
+hold
+ups
+and
+the
+more
+we
+got
+into
+the
+better
+we
+liked
+it
+At
+last
+we
+held
+up
+and
+killed
+people
+The
+result
+was
+that
+we
+were
+caught
+and
+hung
+I
+am
+Neidemeyer
+and
+here
+I
+am
+Years
+ago
+I
+was
+brought
+to
+this
+circle
+through
+our
+neighbor
+girl
+I
+liked
+that
+girl
+very
+much
+One
+day
+she
+went
+away
+from
+home
+and
+I
+thought
+I
+would
+go
+with
+her
+I
+did
+nut
+realize
+that
+I
+had
+been
+hung
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+I
+was
+dead
+I
+had
+gone
+home
+and
+had
+stayed
+there
+for
+a
+long
+time
+but
+I
+did
+not
+know
+that
+I
+was
+dead
+My
+mother
+was
+a
+strange
+woman
+but
+from
+what
+I
+have
+seen
+since
+I
+came
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+I
+realize
+that
+she
+was
+obsessed
+Nobody
+could
+do
+anything
+with
+my
+mother
+My
+father
+and
+my
+brother
+were
+very
+good
+people
+but
+my
+mother
+and
+I
+were
+the
+black
+ones
+This
+neighbor
+girl
+was
+good
+and
+she
+always
+tried
+to
+do
+the
+best
+for
+me
+that
+she
+could
+The
+day
+I
+followed
+her
+she
+went
+to
+this
+man
+s
+house
+Dr
+W
+and
+she
+went
+into
+a
+little
+room
+and
+spoke
+with
+the
+psychic
+through
+whom
+I
+am
+talking
+now
+and
+I
+saw
+things
+that
+day
+that
+I
+had
+never
+seen
+before
+I
+did
+not
+know
+what
+they
+meant
+Somebody
+seemed
+to
+keep
+me
+there
+and
+I
+could
+not
+get
+away
+Before
+I
+knew
+much
+I
+was
+sitting
+in
+a
+little
+meeting
+I
+heard
+singing
+and
+before
+I
+realized
+it
+I
+was
+full
+of
+life
+again
+I
+could
+talk
+and
+my
+throat
+did
+not
+hurt
+me
+any
+more
+I
+began
+to
+wonder
+what
+had
+happened
+to
+me
+You
+talked
+to
+me
+so
+kindly
+that
+it
+helped
+me
+You
+talked
+to
+me
+about
+the
+real
+life
+on
+the
+other
+side
+You
+helped
+me
+to
+an
+understanding
+of
+life
+not
+what
+the
+church
+and
+ministers
+taught
+that
+we
+should
+pray
+to
+God
+and
+believe
+in
+the
+blood
+of
+Christ
+and
+that
+Christ
+died
+for
+our
+sins
+and
+that
+if
+we
+believe
+that
+we
+will
+go
+to
+Heaven
+I
+was
+not
+the
+kind
+that
+could
+go
+on
+that
+straight
+road
+because
+I
+felt
+that
+was
+too
+easy
+and
+I
+couldn
+t
+believe
+that
+we
+could
+get
+to
+Heaven
+without
+any
+effort
+on
+our
+part
+I
+knew
+I
+was
+bad
+yet
+I
+felt
+in
+my
+heart
+that
+I
+should
+do
+something
+to
+try
+and
+be
+good
+and
+do
+good
+for
+what
+I
+had
+done
+bad
+The
+thought
+of
+that
+seemed
+to
+be
+more
+reasonable
+than
+that
+of
+jumping
+from
+my
+bad
+condition
+right
+into
+Heaven
+I
+thought
+I
+would
+not
+be
+a
+very
+good
+example
+either
+You
+commenced
+to
+talk
+to
+me
+about
+the
+philosophy
+of
+God
+in
+a
+way
+I
+had
+never
+heard
+before
+and
+it
+appealed
+to
+my
+sense
+I
+hope
+somebody
+will
+talk
+in
+that
+way
+to
+my
+fellow
+men
+who
+are
+in
+the
+condition
+I
+was
+It
+would
+touch
+their
+hearts
+There
+are
+many
+of
+them
+who
+are
+not
+bad
+but
+nobody
+cares
+for
+them
+The
+majority
+of
+them
+do
+not
+believe
+in
+the
+Jesus
+Christ
+story
+As
+they
+are
+now
+they
+are
+going
+to
+the
+dogs
+Since
+I
+came
+to
+this
+little
+circle
+the
+first
+time
+and
+received
+help
+I
+have
+had
+my
+struggles
+It
+is
+years
+since
+I
+made
+my
+first
+appearance
+here
+I
+want
+to
+tell
+you
+what
+I
+have
+to
+do
+since
+my
+mother
+passed
+out
+I
+have
+tried
+and
+tried
+to
+bring
+her
+to
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+truth
+but
+she
+will
+not
+listen
+I
+hope
+some
+day
+to
+be
+able
+to
+awaken
+her
+to
+a
+higher
+condition
+As
+we
+progress
+we
+go
+from
+circle
+to
+circle
+If
+I
+believed
+that
+Christ
+died
+for
+my
+sins
+that
+belief
+and
+creed
+would
+keep
+me
+out
+of
+the
+higher
+spirit
+world
+When
+I
+had
+passed
+out
+of
+my
+body
+you
+told
+me
+that
+I
+should
+look
+for
+spirit
+friends
+who
+would
+help
+me
+and
+that
+my
+first
+lesson
+would
+be
+to
+serve
+others
+I
+have
+had
+a
+very
+hard
+time
+The
+first
+thing
+I
+had
+to
+do
+was
+to
+conquer
+self
+and
+it
+is
+very
+hard
+to
+conquer
+selfishness
+when
+you
+have
+never
+thought
+of
+anything
+else
+but
+selfishness
+We
+must
+conquer
+that
+before
+we
+can
+do
+any
+work
+at
+all
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+The
+best
+way
+is
+to
+be
+put
+in
+a
+dark
+room
+we
+sometimes
+call
+it
+a
+dungeon
+where
+we
+see
+nothing
+but
+ourselves
+and
+our
+acts
+of
+the
+past
+One
+after
+another
+these
+acts
+come
+crowding
+in
+The
+good
+ones
+are
+so
+few
+that
+they
+hardly
+count
+for
+anything
+When
+we
+do
+see
+a
+good
+act
+it
+seems
+as
+if
+it
+belongs
+to
+some
+one
+else
+We
+have
+to
+stay
+there
+until
+our
+hearts
+and
+eyes
+are
+opened
+When
+we
+seek
+to
+overcome
+our
+bad
+habits
+and
+to
+live
+for
+others
+then
+we
+get
+out
+of
+the
+selfish
+state
+My
+heart
+was
+very
+hardened
+but
+finally
+I
+cried
+out
+Not
+my
+will
+any
+longer
+but
+thine
+The
+first
+thing
+to
+be
+done
+is
+to
+help
+serve
+the
+very
+lowest
+we
+come
+in
+contact
+with
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+did
+not
+want
+to
+assist
+with
+this
+or
+that
+but
+I
+had
+to
+I
+had
+to
+learn
+patience
+When
+we
+can
+serve
+without
+grumbling
+and
+do
+it
+for
+the
+love
+of
+our
+fellow
+man
+it
+does
+not
+seem
+so
+hard
+So
+I
+have
+gone
+on
+and
+on
+from
+one
+thing
+to
+another
+always
+learning
+and
+through
+learning
+I
+have
+stepped
+into
+a
+more
+beautiful
+condition
+In
+the
+invisible

+by
+stages

+My
+work

+who
+need
+help
+and
+to

+just
+If

+have
+a
+chance
+to
+hang
+any
+one
+don

+do
+it
+but
+give

+chance
+You

+Nobody

+We

+God

+strong
+should
+help
+the

+When
+one
+person
+murders
+another
+no
+justice
+is
+shown
+no
+mercy
+The
+judge
+and
+the
+jury
+what
+mercy
+do
+they
+show
+a
+fellow
+when
+he
+has
+murdered
+Why
+should
+they
+kill
+him
+instead
+of
+giving
+him
+another
+chance
+Why
+don
+t
+they
+give
+a
+good
+word
+to
+the
+poor
+ones
+Why
+don
+t
+they
+go
+to
+the
+prisoners
+and
+teach

+and
+also
+have

+them
+As
+soon
+as
+you
+stop
+capital
+punishment
+you
+will
+not
+have
+so
+much
+killing
+When
+persons
+are
+hanged
+they
+have
+revenge
+and
+hatred
+in
+their
+hearts
+and
+all
+they
+want
+to
+do
+is
+kill
+kill
+kill
+So
+they
+influence
+sensitive
+mortals
+and
+make
+them
+commit
+all
+kinds
+of
+crime
+I
+want
+to
+say

+if

+stop
+capital
+punishment
+This
+is
+a
+Christian
+country
+and
+nobody
+has
+a
+right
+to
+kill
+another
+As
+they
+killed
+Christ
+so
+they
+kill
+boys
+who
+have
+been
+murderers
+instead
+of
+teaching
+them
+while
+they
+are
+young
+Isn

+is
+right
+that
+they
+should
+be
+taught
+to
+do
+better
+and
+to
+live
+better
+lives
+The
+time
+will
+come
+when
+the

+will
+have
+to
+understand
+that
+it
+must
+overcome
+selfishness
+There
+will
+be

+heart
+She

+CHAPTER
+VII
+Spirits
+and
+Suicide
+A
+GREAT
+NUMBER
+of
+unaccountable
+suicides
+are
+due
+to
+the
+obsessing
+or
+possessing
+influence
+of
+earthbound
+spirits
+Some
+of
+these
+spirits
+are
+actuated
+by
+a
+desire
+to
+torment
+their
+victims
+others
+who
+have
+ended
+their
+physical
+existence
+as
+suicides
+find
+themselves
+still
+alive
+and
+having
+no
+knowledge
+of
+a
+spirit
+world
+labor
+under
+the
+delusion
+that
+their
+self
+destructive
+attempts
+have
+failed
+and
+continue
+their
+suicidal
+efforts
+When
+these
+intelligences
+come
+in
+contact
+with
+mortal
+sensitives
+they
+mistake
+the
+physical
+bodies
+for
+their
+own
+and
+impress
+the
+sensitives
+with
+morbid
+thoughts
+and
+instigate
+them
+to
+deeds
+of
+self
+destruction
+The
+fate
+of
+a
+suicide
+is
+invariably
+one
+of
+deepest
+misery
+his
+rash
+act
+holding
+him
+in
+the
+earth
+sphere
+until
+such
+time
+as
+his
+physical
+life
+would
+have
+had
+a
+natural
+ending
+One
+suicide
+case
+which
+we
+contacted
+was
+the
+spirit
+of
+a
+woman
+Mrs
+X
+who
+had
+been
+my
+Sunday
+School
+teacher
+when
+I
+was
+a
+boy
+in
+Europe
+but
+of
+whom
+Mrs
+Wickland
+had
+never
+heard
+This
+lady
+had
+been
+intelligent
+and
+spiritual
+an
+earnest
+church
+member
+happily
+married
+and
+the
+mother
+of
+several
+children
+Without
+any
+warning
+while
+apparently
+happy
+and
+contented
+she
+had
+suddenly
+hung
+herself
+and
+the
+horrified
+husband
+and
+children
+could
+in
+no
+way
+account
+for
+the
+tragedy
+One
+winter
+day
+ten
+years
+later
+when
+Mrs
+Wickland
+and
+I
+were
+alone
+in
+our
+home
+in
+Chicago
+Mrs
+Wickland
+was
+unexpectedly
+controlled
+by
+a
+spirit
+who
+gasped
+for
+breath
+and
+seemed
+to
+be
+strangling
+This
+spirit
+like
+so
+many
+others
+was
+unconscious
+of
+controlling
+a
+body
+not
+its
+own
+and
+upon
+contacting
+matter
+again
+experienced
+its
+last
+death
+struggle
+After
+much
+questioning
+I
+learned
+to
+my
+great
+surprise
+that
+this
+was
+the
+spirit
+of
+my
+former
+friend
+who
+had
+ended
+her
+physical
+life
+by
+hanging
+herself
+She
+was
+still
+bound
+to
+the
+earth
+sphere
+and
+related
+the
+indescribable
+mental
+hell
+she
+had
+been
+in
+during
+all
+those
+years
+As
+soon
+as
+I
+found
+myself
+out
+of
+my
+body
+I
+saw
+at
+once
+the
+cause
+for
+my
+rash
+act
+Evil
+spirits
+who
+had
+been
+attracted
+to
+me
+by
+the
+jealous
+thoughts
+of
+other
+persons
+were
+standing
+near
+grinning
+with
+devilish
+satisfaction
+at
+their
+work
+They
+had
+influenced
+me
+to
+end
+my
+life
+I
+had
+no
+occasion
+to
+even
+think
+of
+such
+folly
+An
+irresistible
+impulse
+had
+suddenly
+come
+over
+me
+I
+fastened
+the
+rope
+around
+my
+neck
+and
+only
+realized
+what
+I
+had
+done
+when
+it
+was
+too
+late
+I
+would
+have
+given
+the
+world
+to
+have
+been
+able
+to
+regain
+possession
+of
+my
+body
+Oh
+what
+horrors
+of
+despair
+and
+remorse
+I
+have
+gone
+through
+My
+home
+shattered
+my
+husband
+brokenhearted
+and
+discouraged
+and
+my
+little
+ones
+needing
+my
+care
+They
+do
+not
+know
+that
+I
+come
+to
+them
+and
+try
+to
+comfort
+them
+and
+I
+have
+seen
+nothing
+but
+gloom
+and
+darkness
+until
+now
+Comforted
+and
+reassured
+by
+an
+explanation
+of
+the
+true
+spiritual
+realms
+this
+spirit
+was
+eager
+to
+go
+with
+the
+higher
+intelligences
+and
+learn
+how
+she
+might
+be
+of
+service
+to
+her
+loved
+ones
+on
+earth
+Many
+years
+later
+when
+we
+had
+with
+us
+a
+patient
+of
+strong
+suicidal

+needed
+my
+help
+but
+the
+responsibility
+of
+raising
+them
+was
+thrown
+on
+my
+husband
+It
+should
+have
+been
+my
+duty
+to
+have
+shared
+that
+responsibility
+Although
+I
+had
+been
+influenced
+to
+do
+what
+I
+did
+for
+ten
+long
+years
+I
+could
+see
+nothing
+before
+me
+but
+what
+I
+had
+done
+I
+could
+see
+how
+much
+the
+children
+needed
+me
+but
+I
+could
+do
+nothing
+for
+them
+and
+oh
+how
+I
+suffered
+My
+poor
+poor
+children
+One
+day
+a
+very
+cold
+day
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+had
+come
+to
+life
+again
+I
+felt
+a
+new
+warmth
+I
+did
+not
+know
+where
+I
+was
+but
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+had
+come
+to
+life
+I
+found
+myself
+talking
+to
+Dr
+Wickland
+He
+told
+me
+what
+had
+happened
+and
+explained
+that
+I
+was
+only
+temporarily
+controlling
+Mrs
+Wickland
+and
+that
+friends
+would
+take
+me
+to
+the
+spirit
+world
+After
+this
+I
+felt
+somewhat
+better
+and
+I
+thank
+you
+for
+having
+helped
+me
+to
+the
+beautiful
+condition
+I
+have
+now
+But
+oh
+how
+I
+suffered
+during
+those
+ten
+long
+years
+All
+I
+could
+see
+was
+my
+body
+hanging
+before
+me
+and
+the
+children
+s
+need
+of
+me
+My
+husband
+and
+children
+How
+they
+needed
+my
+care
+but
+I
+was
+powerless
+to
+help
+them
+I
+want
+to
+warn
+anybody
+who
+is
+thinking
+of
+trying
+to
+get
+out
+of
+the
+physical
+body
+Do
+not
+do
+it
+under
+any
+circumstances
+You
+do
+not
+know
+you
+cannot
+realize
+what
+a
+hell
+you
+will
+find
+yourself
+in
+You
+cannot
+step
+into
+your
+body
+again
+after
+you
+once
+leave
+it
+and
+you
+cannot
+do
+your
+duty
+to
+others
+Think
+of
+my
+children
+always
+having
+the
+thought
+that
+their
+mother
+committed
+suicide
+Neither
+my
+husband
+nor
+children
+can
+ever
+really
+forgive
+me
+Even
+though
+I
+was
+controlled
+when
+I
+did
+what
+I
+did
+I
+have
+had
+to
+suffer
+If
+you
+had
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+laws
+of
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+you
+would
+not
+commit
+suicide
+knowing
+the
+results
+Overcome
+any
+thoughts
+of
+taking
+your
+life
+Be
+happy
+on
+this
+earth
+plane
+until
+the
+time
+comes
+for
+you
+to
+go
+to
+the
+spirit
+world
+The
+ten
+years
+that
+I
+suffered
+was
+the
+time
+I
+should
+have
+remained
+on
+earth
+before
+passing
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+After
+my
+ten
+years
+had
+expired
+I
+should
+have
+left
+my
+body
+for
+my
+life
+would
+have
+been
+lived
+out
+but
+during
+that
+time
+I
+could
+have
+given
+help
+to
+my
+husband
+and
+children
+I
+should
+not
+have
+reached
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+before
+my
+allotted
+time
+and
+my
+punishment
+was
+to
+constantly
+see
+my
+body
+hanging
+before
+me
+for
+ten
+years
+All
+that
+time
+I
+could
+realize
+that
+my
+husband
+and
+children
+were
+in
+great
+need
+of
+my
+help
+Now
+I
+am
+as
+happy
+as
+I
+can
+be
+until
+my
+family
+is
+reunited
+and
+I
+am
+doing
+all
+I
+can
+to
+help
+my
+children
+I
+want
+you
+to
+send
+my
+love
+to
+my
+dear
+husband
+He
+feels
+that
+he
+is
+all
+alone
+I
+am
+with
+him
+but
+I
+can
+do
+nothing
+to
+comfort
+him
+in
+his
+loneliness
+Goodbye
+On
+November
+while
+Mrs
+Wickland
+and
+I
+were
+visiting
+with
+friends
+in
+Chicago
+a
+circle
+had
+been
+formed
+for
+a
+psychic
+demonstration
+when
+Mrs
+Wickland
+heard
+some
+one
+say
+I
+am
+in
+the
+dark
+She
+inquired
+who
+had
+made
+the
+remark
+but
+no
+one
+in
+the
+room
+had
+uttered
+a
+word
+however
+the
+gentleman
+sitting
+beside
+Mrs
+Wickland
+declared
+that
+he
+too
+had
+heard
+the
+voice
+A
+moment
+later
+Mrs
+Wickland
+became
+entranced
+and
+fell
+to
+the
+floor
+the
+spirit
+clutching
+at
+the
+throat
+and
+crying
+Take
+the
+rope
+away
+Take
+the
+rope
+away
+I
+am
+in
+the
+dark
+Why
+did
+I
+do
+it
+Oh
+why
+did
+I
+do
+it
+When
+the
+excited
+spirit
+had
+been
+somewhat
+quieted
+she
+told
+us
+that
+her
+name
+was
+Minnie
+Harmening
+that
+she
+was
+a
+young
+girl
+and
+had
+lived
+on
+a
+farm
+near
+Palatine
+As
+she
+was
+speaking
+brokenly
+between
+sobs
+it
+was
+difficult
+to
+distinguish
+her
+words
+and
+I
+understood
+her
+to
+say
+that
+she
+came
+from
+Palestine
+which
+seemed
+rather
+strange
+The
+spirit
+was
+in
+great
+grief
+because
+she
+had
+hung
+herself
+and
+thought
+the
+body
+of
+the
+psychic
+was
+her
+own
+and
+that
+the
+rope
+was
+still
+about
+her
+neck
+She
+said
+that
+on
+October
+without
+any
+cause
+or
+premeditation
+she
+had
+been
+overpowered
+by
+a
+desire
+to
+take
+her
+life
+and
+when
+alone
+had
+gone
+to
+the
+barn
+and
+hung
+herself
+A
+big
+man
+with
+a
+black
+beard
+made
+me
+do
+it
+Spirit
+He
+met
+me
+in
+the
+barnyard
+and
+hypnotized
+me
+and
+made
+me
+hang
+myself
+to
+a
+rafter
+but
+I
+don
+t
+know
+why
+I
+did
+it
+My
+brother
+John
+found
+me
+and
+cut
+me
+down
+and
+my
+parents
+were
+almost
+beside
+themselves
+But
+I
+am
+not
+dead
+I
+am
+at
+home
+all
+the
+time
+and
+I
+talk
+to
+my
+mother
+and
+father
+I
+try
+to
+comfort
+them
+and
+make
+them
+know
+that
+I
+am
+not
+dead
+but
+they
+do
+not
+notice
+me
+and
+do
+not
+answer
+me
+My
+folks
+all
+sit
+around
+the
+table
+crying
+and
+there
+is
+my
+empty
+chair
+but
+no
+one
+answers
+me
+Why
+don
+t
+they
+answer
+me
+We
+could
+not
+at
+first
+convince
+her
+that
+she
+was
+expressing
+herself
+through
+the
+body
+of
+another
+but
+after
+a
+lengthy
+conversation
+she
+was
+somewhat
+enlightened
+and
+comforted
+and
+left
+with
+spirit
+friends
+Previous
+to
+this
+incident
+neither
+Mrs
+Wickland
+nor
+I
+had
+heard
+of
+the
+Harmening
+suicide
+mystery
+and
+we
+did
+not
+know
+that
+such
+a
+girl
+had
+ever
+existed
+Several
+days
+later
+a
+reporter
+from
+one
+of
+the
+Chicago
+dailies
+came
+to
+interview
+us
+regarding
+our
+research
+work
+and
+I
+related
+our
+recent
+experience
+with
+the
+Harmening
+girl
+In
+great
+surprise
+he
+said
+that
+he
+himself
+had
+been
+the
+reporter
+on
+the
+Harmening
+case
+and
+that
+the
+girl
+had
+lived
+in
+Palatine
+Cook
+County
+Illinois
+The
+dead
+body
+of
+the
+girl
+had
+been
+found
+hanging
+in
+her
+father
+s
+barn
+but
+no
+one
+knew
+of
+any
+cause
+for
+suicide
+although
+the
+girl
+had
+always
+been
+peculiar
+There
+was
+a
+suspicion
+of
+murder
+because
+the
+clothes
+about
+the
+chest
+had
+been
+torn
+and
+the
+neck
+badly
+scratched
+leading
+the
+authorities
+to
+believe
+that
+a
+crime
+had
+been
+committed
+and
+the
+body
+hung
+up
+to
+avert
+suspicion
+On
+Thanksgiving
+Day
+November
+the
+spirit
+of
+Minnie
+Harmening
+came
+to
+us
+again
+still
+grieving
+because
+of
+the
+suffering
+of
+her
+parents
+and
+the
+intolerant
+attitude
+assumed
+toward
+her
+family
+by
+the
+villagers
+and
+church
+members
+who
+considered
+the
+family
+disgraced
+The
+girl
+had
+been
+a
+devout
+member
+of
+a
+German
+Lutheran
+Church
+but
+because
+she
+had
+died
+a
+suicide
+the
+pastor
+had
+refused
+to
+allow
+the
+funeral
+service
+to
+be
+held
+in
+the
+church
+nor
+would
+the
+congregation
+permit
+the
+body
+to
+be
+buried
+in
+the
+consecrated
+ground
+of
+the
+churchyard
+Minnie
+said
+that
+the
+funeral
+service
+had
+been
+held
+at
+the
+home
+of
+her
+parents
+but
+the
+minister
+had
+considered
+the
+viewing
+of
+the
+body
+such
+a
+sacrilege
+that
+he
+had
+stepped
+outside
+the
+house
+while
+others
+paid
+their
+last
+tribute
+and
+this
+had
+added
+still
+more
+to
+the
+grief
+of
+her
+already
+distracted
+parents
+These
+statements
+I
+found
+corroborated
+in
+the
+papers
+afterward
+I
+asked
+the
+spirit
+why
+her
+clothes
+had
+been
+torn
+and
+she
+answered
+I
+did
+that
+myself
+The
+big
+man
+spirit
+with
+the
+beard
+told
+me
+to
+hang
+myself
+but
+as
+soon
+as
+I
+had
+kicked
+the
+box
+away
+from
+my
+feet
+I
+felt
+the
+rope
+tightening
+around
+my
+neck
+and
+came
+to
+my
+senses
+I
+clawed
+at
+the
+rope
+and
+tried
+to
+loosen
+it
+but
+I
+only
+tightened
+it
+and
+scratched
+myself
+Fourteen
+years
+later
+the
+spirit
+of
+Minnie
+Harmening
+spoke

+the

+Another
+experience
+illustrating
+the
+power
+exercised
+over
+sensitive
+mortals
+by
+malignant
+earthbound
+spirits
+occurred
+in
+Chicago
+Mrs

+one
+A
+conversation
+ensued
+which
+drifted
+into
+occultism
+and
+when
+the
+stranger
+Mr
+F
+expressed
+an
+interest
+in
+psychic
+phenomena
+we
+invited

+On

+upon

+became
+entranced
+by
+the
+spirit
+of
+a
+man
+who
+was
+greatly
+agitated
+He
+called
+Mr

+After

+had
+gone
+through
+the
+fire
+of

+I
+was
+purified
+I
+was
+anxious
+to
+find
+the
+truth
+and
+after
+I
+found
+it
+there
+was
+no
+doubting
+I
+wanted
+peace
+and
+harmony
+and
+I
+was
+then
+ready
+for
+it
+You
+find
+gold
+after
+it
+has
+gone
+through
+the
+fire
+of

+After
+my
+soul
+had
+gone
+through
+the
+fire
+of
+conscience
+I
+found
+God
+within
+myself
+not
+on
+the
+outside
+Find
+God
+and
+be
+content
+within
+yourself
+Learn
+to
+understand
+yourself
+first
+before
+you
+judge
+others
+then
+you
+will
+not
+judge
+Let
+us
+be
+friends
+to
+all
+do
+good
+to
+all
+and
+do
+good
+whenever
+we
+can
+Let
+us
+conquer
+self
+Whenever
+self
+rises
+within
+you
+to
+torment
+you
+and
+tries
+to
+make
+you
+give
+way
+to
+anger
+and
+give
+way
+to
+drinking
+and
+all
+kinds
+of
+trouble
+say
+to
+yourself
+that
+you
+are
+not
+angry
+and
+that
+you
+will
+not
+give
+way
+to
+things
+Then
+instead
+of
+saying
+anything
+to
+others
+get
+up
+and
+turn
+around
+and
+your
+anger
+will
+be
+gone
+because
+you
+will
+not
+say
+what
+you
+wanted
+to
+and
+many
+times
+in
+that
+way
+you
+will
+have
+harmony
+When
+we
+are
+in
+a
+state
+of

+we
+say
+things
+that
+afterwards
+we
+are
+sorry
+for
+and
+sometimes
+these
+things
+can
+never
+be
+forgotten

+out
+just
+worn

+out
+Then
+I
+was

+I
+wanted
+to
+get
+to

+They
+operated
+on

+felt
+that
+something
+was
+picking
+me
+to
+small
+pieces
+Dissection
+I
+cried
+and
+I
+fought
+because
+I
+wanted
+that
+body
+so
+I
+could
+satisfy
+my
+very
+soul
+I
+was
+burning
+up
+They
+picked
+at

+they
+looked

+my

+and
+down
+to
+the

+pick
+pick
+pick
+all
+the
+time
+I
+got
+so
+desperate
+I
+fought
+with
+all
+my
+power
+and
+I
+seared
+some
+away
+from
+my
+body
+They
+never
+touched
+it
+again
+There
+were
+five
+or
+six
+men
+with
+knives
+all
+wanting
+to
+do
+something
+with
+my
+body
+pick
+pick
+pick
+But
+there
+came
+another
+he
+looked
+and
+looked
+at
+me
+and
+picked
+and
+picked
+and
+he
+drove
+me
+wild
+I
+thought
+if
+I
+could
+only
+get
+hold
+of
+him
+I
+would
+fix
+him
+He
+paid
+no
+attention
+to
+me
+I
+tried
+to
+scare
+him
+as
+I
+had
+seared
+the
+others
+but
+I
+could
+not
+budge
+him
+He
+would
+not
+move
+one
+inch
+from
+that
+body
+of
+mine
+I
+followed
+him
+and
+thought
+I
+would
+haunt
+him
+but
+all
+at
+once
+I
+got
+well
+controlled
+the
+psychic
+and
+began
+to
+fight
+him
+with
+all
+the
+strength
+and
+power
+I
+had
+for
+picking
+me
+to
+pieces
+To
+my
+great
+surprise
+after

+talked

+for
+I
+had
+not
+been
+dead
+at
+all
+This
+gentleman
+told
+me
+that
+the
+people
+working
+on
+my
+body
+were
+students
+and
+that
+it
+was
+necessary
+for
+them
+to
+work
+on
+a
+dead
+body
+before
+they
+were
+able
+to
+pass
+their
+examinations
+I
+seared
+five
+of
+them
+and
+they
+never
+touched
+me
+again
+but
+I
+could
+not
+scare
+this
+one
+To
+Dr
+W
+Now
+I
+come
+to
+thank
+you
+You
+were
+the
+one
+who
+enlightened
+me
+and
+gave
+me
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+real
+life
+beyond
+I
+found
+I
+could
+not
+throw
+my
+sins
+on
+Christ
+He
+was
+our
+teacher
+but
+we
+must
+live
+our
+own
+lives
+as
+He
+taught
+us
+to
+live
+and
+not
+throw
+our
+sins
+and
+troubles
+on
+Him
+That
+is
+a
+false
+doctrine
+He
+is
+the
+Life
+the
+Light
+and
+theWay
+He
+said
+I
+am
+the
+Light
+of
+the

+he
+that
+followeth
+me
+shall
+not
+walk
+in
+darkness
+Many
+others
+before
+Him
+taught
+the
+same
+lesson
+of

+I
+found
+that
+in
+the
+past
+there
+had
+been
+many
+teachers
+like
+Christ
+Confucius
+was
+one
+He
+taught
+the
+same
+as
+did
+Christ
+In
+the
+Old
+Testament
+we
+find

+taught
+His
+sayings
+are
+the

+in

+Old
+as
+in

+Let
+us
+all
+do
+what
+we
+can
+to
+find
+God
+within
+us
+Learn
+to
+live
+according

+I
+was

+I
+had

+What
+would
+I
+have
+been
+if
+I
+had
+not
+been
+given
+an
+understanding

+how
+to
+overcome
+my

+I
+would

+been
+an

+would
+have
+gotten
+into

+and
+made

+a

+fulfilled
+and
+the

+would

+been
+ruined
+I
+would
+have
+lived
+in

+for

+and

+if
+I
+had
+gotten
+into

+I
+would

+ruined
+one

+kept

+Find

+and

+belongs
+to

+If

+It

+That

+Many

+and
+that

+is

+Everything

+To

+the

+great
+Opiates

+Many

+him
+relax
+His
+nervousness
+goes
+and
+he
+becomes
+stronger
+It
+is
+a
+thorough
+relaxation
+he
+smokes
+and
+feels
+better
+With
+this
+complete
+relaxation
+comes
+quietude
+the
+man
+sleeps
+and
+is
+rested
+for
+his
+work
+the
+next
+day
+If
+people
+would
+have
+more
+love
+for
+each
+other
+and
+less
+condemnation
+they
+would
+be
+more
+like
+brothers
+and
+sisters
+That
+is
+the
+life
+in
+the
+higher
+realms
+We
+cannot
+reach
+that
+stage
+until
+we
+have
+gotten
+rid
+of
+all
+desires
+all
+hatred
+all
+selfishness
+all
+envy
+We
+cannot
+progress
+until
+we
+have
+thrown
+away
+all
+these
+things
+and
+said
+God
+help
+me
+to
+love
+my
+enemies
+and
+friends
+better
+than
+myself
+Then
+we
+will
+be
+ready
+to
+travel
+the
+road
+Some
+people
+think
+that
+after
+they
+learn
+the
+lesson
+of
+truth
+they
+will
+step
+into
+the
+glory
+of
+Heaven
+But
+Heaven
+is
+a
+condition
+In
+conquering
+my
+desire
+for
+morphine
+I
+had
+to
+do
+so
+little
+by
+little
+step
+by
+step
+until
+I
+could
+say
+No
+more
+morphine
+for
+me
+After
+I
+had
+conquered
+my
+friends
+and
+relatives
+met
+me
+and
+said
+Now
+you
+are
+ready
+to
+come
+with
+us
+to
+the
+home
+that
+has
+been
+prepared
+for
+you
+Before
+that
+time
+I
+had
+to
+live
+all
+by
+myself
+I
+was
+not
+in
+a
+dark
+dungeon
+like
+some
+are
+but
+all
+around
+me
+was
+myself
+nothing
+else
+I
+had
+to
+learn
+and
+strive
+to
+overcome
+It
+says
+in
+the
+Big
+Book
+that
+Christ
+went
+to
+the
+lower
+spheres
+to
+give
+help
+and
+teach
+We
+all
+have
+to
+teach
+and
+help
+the
+fallen
+ones
+and
+give
+them
+strength
+to
+overcome
+their
+desires
+I
+wish
+I
+could
+take
+you
+along
+with
+me
+for
+a
+few
+moments
+to
+see
+the
+conditions
+in
+the
+lower
+sphere
+what
+they
+call
+the
+earth
+sphere
+Here
+is
+the
+sphere
+of
+whiskey
+here
+the
+sphere
+of
+morphine
+here
+the
+sphere
+of
+the
+opium
+fiend
+here
+the
+sphere
+of
+selfishness
+and
+here
+the
+sphere
+of
+misers
+Of
+all
+these
+conditions
+that
+of
+the
+miser
+is
+the
+worst
+He
+sacrifices
+everything
+for
+money
+He
+will
+not
+eat
+because
+he
+thinks
+he
+cannot
+afford
+it
+He
+starves
+his
+mind
+because
+he
+wants
+money
+money
+and
+what
+is
+the
+result
+In
+the
+earth
+sphere
+he
+is
+in
+the
+dark
+but
+he
+sees
+his
+money
+being
+spent
+and
+he
+is
+in
+hell
+He
+suffers
+terribly
+He
+sees
+his
+relatives
+get
+his
+money
+it
+is
+divided
+some
+going
+here
+some
+there
+If
+it
+were
+all
+in
+one
+place
+he
+could
+count
+it
+over
+and
+that
+would
+be
+all
+right
+but
+his
+relatives
+all
+want
+their
+share
+to
+spend
+Now
+imagine
+that
+money
+has
+been
+his
+treasure
+Each
+cent
+that
+is
+spent
+is
+like
+cutting
+a
+piece
+from
+his
+body
+because
+his
+whole
+mind
+and
+soul
+were
+in
+that
+money
+and
+to
+see
+it
+scattered
+and
+spent
+is
+hell
+for
+him
+Think
+what
+that
+means
+to
+him
+He
+cannot
+be
+helped
+until
+he
+feels
+that
+he
+no
+longer
+wants
+his
+money
+then
+his
+soul
+or
+better
+nature
+will
+open
+up
+and
+he
+will
+be
+helped
+He
+will
+be
+under
+the
+guidance
+of
+a
+teacher
+and
+will
+be
+taught
+that
+money
+belongs
+to
+the
+earth
+life
+not
+to
+the
+spirit
+He
+then
+has
+to
+do
+good
+A
+miser
+never
+gets
+his
+money
+in
+the
+right
+way
+He
+may
+not
+be
+a
+thief
+but
+if
+he
+loans
+money
+he
+charges
+too
+high
+a
+rate
+of
+interest
+For
+every
+cent
+he
+got
+in
+the
+wrong
+way
+he
+has
+to
+do
+right
+He
+must
+do
+some
+kind
+act
+and
+help
+poor
+people
+in
+their
+work
+He
+has
+to
+lay
+down
+his
+life
+and
+earn
+everything
+before
+he
+can
+gain
+happiness
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+He
+has
+to
+serve
+first
+and
+he
+must
+help
+those
+from
+whom
+he
+took
+money
+to
+get
+it
+back
+You
+know
+a
+sin
+against
+the
+Holy
+Ghost
+cannot
+be
+forgiven
+It
+must
+be
+atoned
+for
+That
+is
+his
+life
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+We
+have
+to
+look
+at
+a
+murderer
+differently
+There
+are
+ten
+different
+degrees
+of
+murder
+There
+is
+murder
+by
+quick
+temper
+that
+is
+not
+real
+murder
+It
+is
+committed
+under
+stress
+of
+strong
+quick
+temper
+At
+heart
+the
+man
+is
+not
+a
+murderer
+he
+simply
+lost
+control
+of
+his
+temper
+Of
+course
+he
+has
+to
+suffer
+and
+do
+good
+where
+he
+did
+wrong
+Temper
+is
+a
+very
+hard
+thing
+to
+conquer
+but
+it
+must
+be
+conquered
+because
+it
+kills
+our
+better
+nature
+and
+makes
+us
+do
+many
+wrong
+and
+unkind
+things
+Then
+we
+have
+the
+cunning
+murderer
+He
+plans
+and
+schemes
+he
+wants
+a
+man
+s
+money
+He
+is
+nice
+and
+sweet
+and
+goes
+to
+church
+He
+plans
+and
+schemes
+to
+get
+that
+man
+s
+life
+in
+some
+way
+or
+another
+but
+he
+does
+it
+slowly
+He
+has
+evil
+thoughts
+In
+the
+spirit
+world
+this
+man
+has
+to
+suffer
+a
+great
+deal
+and
+must
+atone
+for
+his
+actions
+from
+the
+time
+he
+began
+to
+plan
+and
+scheme
+to
+murder
+Then
+there
+is
+the
+psychic
+sensitive
+who
+does
+not
+care
+for
+anybody
+He
+doesn
+t
+belong
+to
+one
+church
+or
+another
+he
+takes
+things
+easy
+What
+is
+not
+done
+today
+can
+be
+done
+tomorrow
+or
+the
+next
+day
+He
+does
+not
+use
+his
+will
+A
+cunning
+spirit
+gets
+into
+this
+man
+s
+magnetic
+aura
+and
+controls
+him
+He
+commits
+some
+crime
+The
+man
+will
+hang
+for
+his
+deed
+but
+he
+never
+did
+it
+He
+will
+probably
+say
+he
+does
+not
+know
+that
+he
+did
+anything
+Or
+he
+may
+say
+I
+must
+have
+been
+drunk
+when
+I
+did
+it
+for
+I
+don
+t
+remember
+anything
+about
+it
+But
+it
+was
+not
+liquor
+that
+did
+it
+Liquor
+never
+does
+that
+When
+a
+man
+is
+drunk
+his
+mind
+is
+in
+a
+stupor
+It
+is
+a
+spirit
+that
+does
+the
+work
+If
+that
+spirit
+has
+been
+wronged
+in
+life
+all
+he
+wants
+is
+revenge
+The
+law
+does
+not
+really
+find
+out
+whether
+the
+man
+is
+guilty
+or
+not
+he
+is
+hung
+The
+majority
+of
+murders
+and
+hold
+ups
+are
+committed
+by
+spirits
+They
+scheme
+and
+scheme
+and
+use
+mortals
+as
+tools
+until
+they
+wake
+up
+and
+realize
+what
+wrong
+they
+have
+been
+doing
+Often
+honesty
+and
+modesty
+have
+both
+been
+killed
+When
+I
+was
+a
+child
+I
+was
+very
+modest
+but
+when
+I
+killed
+modesty
+I
+was
+ruined
+Then
+I
+did
+not
+care
+for
+anything
+Honesty
+is
+a
+virtue
+we
+should
+all
+cultivate
+Judges
+lawyers
+and
+ministers
+in
+the
+majority
+of
+cases
+do
+not
+give
+justice
+they
+look
+for
+gain
+They
+kill
+justice
+honesty
+and
+truth
+Let
+us
+do
+all
+we
+can
+to
+keep
+those
+three
+to
+the
+front
+Honesty
+and
+truth
+will
+convert
+the
+world
+You
+cannot
+convert
+it
+by
+condemnation
+People
+are
+not
+taught
+the
+truth
+Have
+wisdom
+and
+human
+kindness
+and
+you
+will
+see
+better
+results
+Teach
+wisdom
+and
+let
+more
+of
+the
+Christ
+spirit
+be
+in
+every
+one
+Live
+as
+He
+taught
+do
+as
+He
+did
+then
+happiness
+will
+reign
+I

+sorry
+to
+have
+taken
+up
+so
+much
+time

+long
+Even

+That

+his
+name
+was
+Jack
+Finch
+that
+he
+was
+about
+sixty
+five
+years
+old
+and
+had
+been
+an
+inmate
+of
+an
+institution
+near
+Madison
+Wisconsin
+He
+said
+that
+when
+he
+was
+quite
+small
+some
+one
+probably
+his
+sister
+had
+been
+carrying
+him
+and
+had
+dropped
+him
+to
+the
+floor
+and
+that
+this
+fall
+had
+broken
+his
+back
+and
+left
+him
+helpless
+As
+he
+grew
+older
+he
+became
+a
+great
+care
+his
+mother
+neglected
+him
+and
+he
+was
+finally
+placed
+in
+an
+institution
+He
+remembered
+he
+had
+been
+in
+a
+cyclone
+at
+one
+time
+and
+that
+something
+had
+struck
+him
+on
+the
+back
+of
+the
+neck
+adding
+still
+further
+to
+his
+misery
+He
+had
+always
+been
+in
+great
+pain
+and
+his
+broken
+back
+and
+injured
+neck
+produced
+dizzy
+spells
+which
+would
+cause
+him
+to
+double
+over
+and
+remain
+in
+a
+cramped
+position
+until
+aid
+was
+given
+When
+this
+dizziness
+came
+upon
+him
+he
+would
+feel
+as
+if
+he
+were
+sliding
+off
+a
+roof
+or
+as
+if
+the
+walls
+were
+crushing
+him
+again
+he
+often
+felt
+as
+if
+the
+bed
+would
+fall
+on
+him
+and
+as
+if
+everything
+were
+spinning
+around
+He
+said
+that
+because
+of
+his
+helpless
+condition
+no
+one
+had
+ever
+cared
+for
+him
+with
+the
+single
+exception
+of
+a
+nurse
+by
+the
+name
+of
+Anasteena
+who
+had
+been
+very
+kind
+to
+him
+at
+the
+institution
+and
+had
+always
+fed
+him
+But
+everything
+is
+changed
+now
+Sometimes
+I
+feel
+like
+a
+small
+man
+and
+sometimes
+like
+a
+woman
+or
+like
+a
+big
+man
+Sensations
+experienced
+when
+influencing
+different
+mortals
+When
+the
+spirit
+was
+brought
+to
+a
+realization
+that
+he
+had
+lost
+his
+mortal
+body
+and
+could
+no
+longer
+have
+any
+physical
+pain
+he
+asked
+If
+I
+have
+lost
+my

+and
+if
+I
+am
+dead
+then
+why
+haven
+t
+I
+seen

+led
+to
+an

+of
+the
+true
+nature
+of
+God
+His
+manifestation
+in
+all
+things
+and
+the

+of
+the
+spirit

+told
+to
+look
+about
+to
+see
+whether
+some
+one
+was
+present
+whom
+he
+had
+known
+on

+he
+said

+there
+is
+my

+wants
+me
+to
+go
+with
+her
+to
+her
+home
+she
+says
+she

+me
+now
+She
+says
+I
+never
+knew
+what
+real
+life
+was
+on
+account
+of
+my
+crippled
+body
+but
+that
+I
+will
+commence
+to
+really
+live
+from
+now
+on
+While
+speaking
+he
+saw
+in
+the
+distance
+another

+and
+he
+exclaimed
+with
+great
+joy
+It

+I
+go
+with
+her
+too
+Assured
+that
+he
+could

+that
+he
+would
+be
+well
+cared
+for
+and
+would
+begin
+a
+life
+of

+he
+said
+fervently

+Some
+years
+ago
+a
+friend
+of

+Mrs

+was
+living
+in

+very
+happily
+married
+and
+leading
+an
+active
+normal
+life
+She
+had
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+higher
+laws
+of
+life
+but
+her
+husband
+although
+devoted
+to
+her
+maintained
+the
+viewpoint
+of
+a
+materialist
+and
+fatalist
+Believing
+in
+no
+form
+of
+religion
+Mr
+F
+W
+was
+convinced
+that
+death
+ended
+all
+and
+had
+often
+declared
+that
+if
+his
+wife
+should
+pass
+away
+he
+would
+commit
+suicide
+and
+frequently
+urged
+her
+to
+promise
+that
+if
+he
+passed
+away
+first
+she
+would
+take
+her
+life
+but
+to
+this
+she
+would
+not
+consent
+After
+a
+brief
+illness
+this
+gentleman
+suddenly
+passed
+away
+but
+his
+wife
+could
+still
+see
+him
+very
+distinctly
+especially
+at
+night
+when
+he
+repeatedly
+awakened
+her
+frightening
+her
+so
+that
+she
+could
+not
+sleep
+Unconscious
+of
+his
+true
+condition
+he
+still
+sensed
+that
+some
+thing
+strange
+had
+occurred
+and
+wishing
+to
+remove
+the
+barrier
+which
+separated
+him
+from
+his
+wife
+he
+constantly
+urged
+her
+to
+come
+to
+him
+calling
+insistently

+must
+come
+to
+me
+I
+want

+The
+continual
+cry
+of
+Kill
+yourself
+was
+with
+Mrs

+W
+day
+and
+night
+until

+feared
+for

+safety
+Anxious
+to

+rash
+act
+on
+her
+part
+she
+left
+New

+and
+came
+to
+us
+in
+Chicago
+for
+assistance
+During
+an
+interview
+the
+spirit
+of
+F
+W
+was
+allowed
+to
+control
+Mrs

+and
+when

+found
+himself
+sitting
+beside
+his
+wife
+he
+grasped
+her
+hand
+kissed
+her
+wedding
+ring
+and
+asked

+were
+angry
+with
+him
+since
+she
+would
+not
+answer
+him
+when
+he
+spoke
+to
+her
+Then
+seizing
+her
+in
+his
+arms
+he
+kissed
+her
+frantically
+and
+crushed
+her
+in
+so
+powerful
+an
+embrace
+that

+could
+not
+free
+herself
+and
+called

+my

+were
+so
+orthodox
+so
+strong
+in
+their
+belief
+that
+they
+condemned
+every
+one
+who
+did
+not
+believe
+as
+they
+did
+and
+they
+hypnotized
+themselves

+idea
+that
+nothing
+was
+right
+except
+what
+they
+thought
+I
+could
+not
+live
+in
+that
+atmosphere
+and
+I
+left
+home
+I
+was
+only
+a
+boy
+when
+I
+left
+home
+and
+why
+did
+I
+go
+Because
+the
+atmosphere
+was
+so
+strongly
+orthodox
+that
+it
+drove
+me
+away
+I
+could
+not
+believe
+as
+my

+they
+said

+I

+I
+was
+not
+a
+sinner
+and
+I
+could
+not

+did
+so
+I
+ran
+away
+from

+I
+am
+not
+sorry
+that
+I
+left
+for
+I
+learned
+to
+know
+something
+of
+the
+outside
+world
+I
+had
+my
+troubles
+but
+I
+learned
+from
+them
+I
+learned
+the
+condition
+outside
+of
+the
+church
+and
+I
+learned
+how
+to
+battle
+for
+myself
+but
+I
+was
+bitter
+and
+so
+hard
+toward
+churches
+that
+I
+would
+not
+have
+anything
+to
+do
+with
+any
+religion
+I
+had
+heard
+so
+much
+of
+it
+through
+childhood
+and
+had
+seen
+too
+much
+of
+what
+was
+going
+on
+in
+the
+churches
+I
+do
+not
+mean
+that
+all
+churches
+are
+alike
+but
+you
+will
+find
+that
+when
+there
+is
+too
+much
+orthodoxy
+the
+people
+are
+hypnotized
+and
+feel
+they
+are
+so
+good
+that
+no
+matter
+what
+they
+do
+whether
+they
+are
+right
+or
+wrong
+they
+are
+right
+because
+they
+cannot
+do
+wrong
+They
+are
+so
+holy
+that
+even
+the
+wrong
+they
+do
+is
+considered
+right
+I
+traveled
+and
+saw
+the
+world
+but
+I
+had
+a
+great
+longing
+for
+home
+I
+came
+home
+again
+after
+I
+had
+seen
+enough
+of
+the
+world
+and
+I
+thought
+I
+would
+remain
+with
+my
+parents
+But
+the
+same
+conditions
+were
+still
+there
+I
+wanted
+to
+stay
+at
+home
+to
+do
+my
+duty
+and
+work
+but
+I
+could
+not
+I
+felt
+as
+if
+I
+were
+being
+crushed
+by
+orthodoxy
+so
+I
+went
+away
+again
+I
+traveled
+still
+further
+and
+I
+had
+new
+experiences
+I
+opened
+my
+heart
+and
+tried
+to
+look
+for
+the
+brighter
+and
+happier
+side
+of
+life
+Later
+on
+I
+met
+one
+who
+loved
+me
+one
+who
+made
+a
+home
+for
+me
+That
+was
+the
+first
+time
+I
+felt
+I
+really
+had
+a
+home
+and
+it
+was
+the
+first
+time
+in
+my
+life
+that
+I
+was
+happy
+We
+had
+only
+a
+few
+short
+years
+of
+happiness
+together
+on
+earth
+but
+those
+few
+years
+will
+always
+be
+with
+me
+I
+did
+not
+think
+there
+was
+a
+life
+after
+this
+I
+did
+not
+believe
+in
+anything
+I
+was
+tired
+of
+orthodoxy
+and
+everything
+else
+I
+thought
+when
+I
+died
+that
+would
+be
+the
+end
+and
+there
+would
+be
+no
+more
+That
+was
+also
+wrong
+Do
+not
+let
+us
+go
+to
+one
+side
+of
+the
+road
+or
+the
+other
+but
+let
+us
+stay
+in
+the
+middle
+and
+investigate
+everything
+Find
+the
+truth
+and
+stay
+in
+that
+narrow
+path
+the
+path
+of
+reason
+and
+understanding
+of
+God
+s
+wonderful
+manifestations
+I
+passed
+to
+the
+other
+side
+of
+life
+with
+the
+thought
+that
+there
+was
+nothing
+after
+death
+I
+passed
+on
+very
+suddenly
+When
+death
+came
+it
+was
+like
+a
+sleep
+I
+woke
+up
+and
+saw
+my
+dear
+little
+wife
+crying
+she
+was
+very
+sad
+but
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+the
+change
+had
+taken
+place
+She
+did
+not
+listen
+to
+what
+I
+said
+she
+did
+not
+seem
+to
+hear
+I
+called
+to
+her
+and
+asked
+what
+was
+the
+trouble
+but
+she
+did
+not
+speak
+to
+me
+I
+wondered
+what
+was
+the
+matter
+for
+we
+loved
+each
+other
+dearly
+I
+began
+to
+grow
+stronger
+and
+I
+did
+not
+want
+to
+leave
+her
+I
+came
+in
+direct
+contact
+with
+her
+and
+felt
+that
+she
+must
+come
+to
+me
+and
+be
+with
+me
+for
+we
+had
+never
+been
+parted
+I
+was
+attracted
+to
+her
+through
+her
+sadness
+and
+I
+felt
+she
+must
+come
+to
+me
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+the
+change
+and
+I
+knew
+she
+wanted
+to
+be
+where
+I
+was
+so
+I
+made
+up
+my
+mind
+that
+she
+was
+coming
+to
+me
+Before
+I
+knew
+it
+I
+was
+in
+her
+magnetic
+aura
+I
+stayed
+there
+because
+I
+could
+not
+get
+away
+I
+was
+unhappy
+she
+was
+unhappy
+But
+I
+thank
+God
+she
+had
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+life
+hereafter
+She
+knew
+the
+condition
+I
+was
+in
+and
+she
+wanted
+to
+free
+herself
+from
+the
+influence
+I
+was
+throwing
+on
+her
+so
+she
+came
+to
+these
+dear
+people
+Dr

+I
+was

+about
+the

+after

+I
+reached

+my
+changed
+condition
+I

+I
+made

+but
+when
+it
+came
+to

+I
+did
+not
+believe
+in

+I
+felt
+that
+death
+was
+all
+and
+there
+was
+nothing
+more
+I
+would
+not
+and
+could
+not
+believe

+I
+felt

+not

+who
+threatened

+felt
+there

+that
+after

+all
+would
+be

+I
+made
+up
+my

+to
+do
+my
+best
+while
+on
+earth
+I
+went
+to
+church
+sometimes
+I
+traveled
+around
+saw
+the
+world
+and
+gained
+experience
+which
+is
+worth
+a
+great
+deal
+to
+me
+now
+After
+I
+was
+married
+my
+wife
+taught
+me
+a
+little
+about
+the
+other
+side
+of
+life
+a
+more
+cheerful
+view
+than
+the
+orthodox
+one
+still
+I
+did
+not
+believe
+However
+there
+was
+a
+little
+light
+of

+I
+wanted
+my

+to
+promise
+that
+if
+I
+should
+die
+first
+she
+would
+go
+too
+and
+if
+she
+went
+first
+I
+would
+follow
+but
+she
+would
+not
+make
+that
+promise
+because

+understood
+more

+The
+time
+came

+I
+had
+to

+I
+seemed
+to
+go

+Where
+your

+is
+there
+will
+your

+be

+My

+was

+when
+I
+woke
+up
+I
+found
+myself
+in

+magnetic

+She
+would
+not
+pay
+any
+attention
+to

+and
+I
+wondered
+what
+could
+be
+the
+trouble
+and
+why
+she
+would
+not
+talk
+to
+me
+when
+I
+spoke
+to

+I
+felt
+queer
+and
+I
+did

+I

+Death
+is

+a

+very
+necessary
+for

+to
+know
+the

+have
+to
+take
+that
+journey
+I

+that
+God
+is
+Love
+God
+is
+everywhere
+Since
+He
+is
+Love
+and
+Wisdom
+He
+knows
+the
+past
+present
+and
+future
+How
+could
+He
+then
+have
+created
+a
+world
+only
+to
+lose
+control
+of
+it
+For
+if
+He
+later
+found
+the
+people
+full
+of
+sin
+He
+certainly
+must
+have
+lost
+control
+of
+His
+creation
+Yet
+the
+churches
+teach
+that
+having
+lost
+control
+of
+the
+world
+God
+created
+a
+person
+for
+the
+particular
+purpose
+of
+being
+sacrificed
+and
+that
+those
+who
+believe
+this
+will
+win
+a
+golden
+crown
+Let
+us
+not
+misconstrue
+God
+God
+knows
+everything
+and
+He
+reveals
+Himself
+to
+Himself
+Everything

+in

+Where
+can
+you
+go

+lived
+only
+for

+I
+worshipped
+my
+church
+My
+husband
+was
+taken
+away
+from
+me
+I
+worshipped
+my
+family
+more
+than
+I
+did
+God
+I
+loved
+my
+church
+and
+when
+I
+passed
+away
+I
+clung
+to
+it
+I
+had
+a
+daughter
+and
+I
+got
+into
+her
+magnetic
+aura
+and
+clung
+to
+her
+and
+she
+was
+sent
+to
+the
+asylum
+I
+could
+not
+get
+away
+from
+her
+She
+died
+then
+she
+was
+free
+and
+so
+was
+I
+Then
+father
+came
+and
+told
+me
+what
+I
+had
+done
+by
+my
+selfish
+thoughts
+Then
+I
+had
+to
+serve
+All
+my
+work
+was
+with
+little
+children
+not
+my
+own
+children
+for
+they
+were
+taken
+away
+from
+me
+They
+told
+me
+I
+would
+have
+to
+develop
+as
+much
+love
+for
+other
+children
+as
+I
+had
+for
+my
+own
+and
+when
+I
+reached
+that
+point
+I
+was
+very
+happy
+Now
+I
+have
+children
+not
+my
+own
+but
+any
+child
+is
+mine
+because
+one
+child
+is
+as
+much
+God
+s
+child
+as
+another
+and
+we
+should
+love
+them
+all
+We
+should
+care
+for
+one
+as
+well
+as
+the
+other
+I
+have
+my
+reward
+now
+Every
+one
+loves
+me
+and
+I
+love
+them
+and
+my
+home
+always
+has
+a
+new
+child
+in
+it
+I
+take
+a
+new
+child
+one
+who
+has
+not
+known
+love
+I
+tell
+him
+of
+the
+life
+beyond
+I
+want
+him
+to
+have
+an
+understanding
+of
+God
+Love
+should
+govern
+all
+not
+one
+child
+but
+all
+The
+great
+Universal
+Love
+that
+is
+all
+everything
+One
+child
+should
+be
+loved
+just
+as
+much
+as
+another
+Therefore
+be
+very
+careful
+in
+concentrating
+your
+love
+on
+one
+child
+or
+just
+your
+own
+family
+Do
+not
+put
+your
+mind
+on
+one
+child
+because
+when
+you
+pass
+out
+you
+will
+be
+in
+hell
+You
+will
+stay
+around
+and
+disturb
+that
+child
+and
+sometimes
+as
+in
+my
+case
+the
+child
+goes
+insane
+My
+poor
+girl
+was
+called
+insane
+because
+I
+was
+with
+her
+and
+could
+not
+get
+away
+I
+was
+crying
+all
+the
+time
+because
+I
+wanted
+only
+my
+child
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+I
+was
+controlling
+her
+I
+could
+not
+see
+her
+They
+told
+her
+she
+was
+not
+married
+and
+that
+she
+had
+no
+child
+I
+was
+the
+one
+who
+was
+crying
+for
+my
+child
+my
+daughter
+Because
+she
+asked
+for
+her
+child
+when
+she
+had
+none
+they
+said
+she
+was
+crazy
+and
+sent
+her
+to
+the
+asylum
+So
+you
+see
+friends
+how
+necessary
+it
+is
+that
+we
+should
+all
+learn
+to
+know
+these
+things
+before
+we
+pass
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of

+Let

+be
+wise
+and
+learn
+all

+today
+give
+out
+the

+They
+all
+know
+there
+is
+a

+after

+but
+they
+cling
+to

+are
+ready
+to
+grasp
+the
+truth
+and
+some
+are
+not
+I
+thank

+himself
+was
+after

+but
+I
+was
+brought
+to
+a
+realization
+of
+what
+I
+should
+have
+done
+when
+in

+and
+that
+I
+should
+not

+for
+having
+obsessed

+did
+not
+realize

+that
+govern
+I
+was
+not
+taught
+myself
+I
+thought
+I
+was
+teaching
+my
+people
+about
+the
+real
+life
+but
+I
+was
+not

+must
+believe
+and

+will
+make

+is
+not
+so
+To
+faith
+we
+must
+add
+knowledge
+and

+us
+free
+so
+the
+Good
+Book
+says
+I
+did
+not
+preach
+that
+I
+taught
+to
+faith
+add
+belief
+and
+you
+will
+be
+saved
+How
+very
+little
+ministers
+do
+to
+help
+uplift
+people
+or
+to
+give
+them
+a
+right
+understanding

+always
+tell

+to
+believe
+believe

+people
+to
+have
+knowledge
+because
+then

+have
+to
+change
+if

+want

+to
+fill
+their
+churches

+know
+I

+minister
+I
+mean
+I
+was
+not

+I
+could
+never

+my
+whole
+heart
+and
+soul
+in
+the
+work
+I
+felt
+that
+we
+should
+believe
+but
+at
+times
+a
+strong
+power
+came
+to
+me
+and
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+should
+have
+more
+real
+knowledge
+of
+the
+life
+hereafter
+but
+I
+shut
+the
+door
+to
+it
+Now
+I
+am
+sorry
+that
+I
+did
+not
+try
+to
+investigate
+more
+When
+I
+went
+out
+of
+my
+body
+I
+went
+so
+quickly
+that
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+the
+change
+You
+know
+Mrs
+W
+there
+was
+quite
+a
+company
+of
+us
+and
+we
+were
+all
+rushing
+to
+get
+home
+I
+stepped
+over
+to
+the
+other
+track
+and
+another
+train
+which
+I
+did
+not
+see
+coming
+killed
+me
+I
+did
+not
+even
+realize
+that
+I
+was
+hurt
+When
+the
+rest
+of
+them
+went
+home
+I
+went
+with
+them
+I
+went
+to
+my
+home
+but
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+anything
+unusual
+had
+taken
+place
+I
+could
+not
+understand
+things
+I
+went
+first
+to
+one
+then
+another
+but
+nobody
+seemed
+to
+notice
+me
+It
+was
+very
+queer
+I
+did
+not
+know
+what
+to
+do
+Where
+should
+I
+go
+where
+could
+I
+go
+I
+went
+to
+my
+church
+and
+stayed
+there
+still
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+I
+had
+passed
+out
+One
+day
+Mrs
+W
+you
+came
+to
+church
+In
+your
+thoughts
+of
+me
+I
+saw
+a
+light
+because
+I
+was
+in
+darkness
+I
+did
+not
+feel
+sick
+but
+I
+did
+not
+feel
+quite
+myself
+so
+I
+followed
+you
+to
+see
+if
+I
+could
+get
+an
+explanation
+When
+you
+reached
+home
+suddenly
+I
+seemed
+to
+be
+closed
+up
+in
+a
+room
+and
+I
+was
+in
+very
+close
+quarters
+Obsessing
+Mrs
+W
+s
+daughter
+Mrs
+A
+After
+a
+while
+I
+went
+to
+sleep
+I
+slept
+in
+a
+way
+and
+still
+I
+felt
+weak
+and
+had
+such
+a
+strange
+sensation
+There
+were
+several
+others
+with
+me
+but
+I
+cannot
+describe
+the
+condition
+except
+to
+say
+that
+we
+seemed
+to
+be
+in
+a
+room
+too
+small
+for
+us
+We
+were
+all
+packed
+in
+like
+sardines
+I
+could
+hardly
+get
+my
+breath
+Then
+I
+fell
+asleep
+and
+I
+slept
+for
+a
+long
+time
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+anything
+after
+that
+until
+I
+got
+fire
+all
+over
+my
+body
+Static
+electricity
+given
+patient
+There
+seemed
+to
+be
+fire
+all
+over
+me
+and
+I
+could
+not
+realize
+what
+it
+was
+All
+I
+could
+see
+was
+this
+fire
+and
+how
+it
+thundered
+At
+first
+I
+thought
+I
+was
+really
+dead
+and
+in
+hell
+because
+I
+could
+not
+imagine
+anything
+else
+I
+thought
+I
+a
+minister
+trying
+to
+save
+people
+from
+hell
+and
+here
+I
+am
+right
+in
+it
+myself
+Then
+I
+woke
+up
+and
+there
+was
+more
+fire
+but
+before
+I
+knew
+it
+I
+was
+alive
+again
+and
+I
+could
+talk
+which
+I
+could
+not
+do
+before
+Having
+been
+transferred
+to
+Mrs
+Wickland
+While
+I
+did
+not
+know
+I
+was
+dead
+yet
+I
+felt
+I
+had
+to
+come
+to
+life
+again
+I
+found
+I
+had
+been
+brought
+to
+this
+little
+circle
+for
+help
+and
+I
+want
+to
+thank
+you
+all
+for
+waking
+me
+up
+I
+have
+no
+grudge
+against
+you
+for
+having
+given
+me
+that
+hell
+fire
+It
+helped
+me
+from
+hell
+to
+Heaven
+or
+as
+we
+like
+to
+call
+it
+the
+spirit
+world
+I
+found
+the
+hereafter
+very
+different
+from
+anything
+I
+ever
+dreamed
+of
+What
+do
+we
+think
+we
+ministers
+I
+want
+to
+say
+that
+we
+do
+not
+think
+at
+all
+We
+preach
+but
+we
+do
+not
+practice
+We
+do
+not
+realize
+what
+we
+are
+doing
+when
+we
+try
+to
+save
+people
+save
+them
+from
+what
+Since
+I
+left
+you
+and
+you
+gave
+me
+the
+true
+understanding
+of
+life
+as
+it
+is
+I
+have
+seen
+much
+I
+have
+learned
+much
+In
+the
+three
+years
+since
+I
+woke
+up
+I
+do
+not
+say
+three
+years
+since
+I
+passed
+out
+because
+the
+rest
+of
+the
+time
+I
+was
+in
+a
+dream
+state
+but
+in
+the
+three
+years
+since
+I
+have
+had
+an
+understanding
+of
+life
+everything
+has
+been
+so
+beautiful
+and
+I
+have
+been
+very
+happy
+and
+busy
+I
+have
+my
+hands
+full
+with
+my
+work
+My
+mission
+is
+to
+go
+to
+the
+religious
+fanatics
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+and
+preach
+to
+them
+the
+truth
+They
+are
+in
+darkness
+They
+pray
+and
+sing
+and
+they
+think
+that
+Christ
+died
+for
+their
+sins
+All
+they
+do
+is
+to
+pray
+and
+sing
+and
+they
+do
+not
+get
+anywhere
+There
+are
+many
+people
+on
+the
+earth
+plane
+who
+go
+insane
+but
+they
+are
+only
+controlled
+by
+crazy
+spirits
+who
+are
+religious
+fanatics
+and
+all
+they
+do
+is
+sing
+and
+pray
+They
+are
+wild
+Some
+I
+cannot
+reach
+some
+I
+can
+turn
+to
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+higher
+life
+I
+hope
+the
+time
+will
+come
+when
+the
+ministers
+who
+preach
+the
+gospel
+will
+preach
+a
+true
+interpretation
+of
+the
+Bible
+not
+the
+one
+Orthodoxy
+teaches
+Mrs
+W
+I
+want
+you
+to
+tell
+the
+Pastor
+of
+your
+church
+that
+I
+said
+he
+must
+not
+hide
+his
+light
+under
+a
+bushel
+but
+must
+teach
+the
+truth
+He
+must
+study
+and
+learn
+the
+true
+lesson
+of
+life
+He
+must
+give
+out
+the
+truth
+to
+his
+people
+Tell
+him
+I
+said
+he
+can
+give
+it
+out
+little
+by
+little
+and
+before
+he
+knows
+it
+he
+will
+have
+given
+them
+the
+whole
+truth
+and
+he
+will
+have
+many
+more
+people
+attending
+his
+church
+than
+he
+has
+now
+People
+do
+not
+believe
+now
+in
+the
+old
+dogmas
+but
+they
+want
+something
+the
+truth
+Tell
+him
+that
+I
+wanted
+you
+to
+say
+this
+to
+him
+I
+have
+found
+my
+home
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+and
+am
+happy
+but
+I
+have
+a
+great
+deal
+to
+do
+I
+have
+to
+undo
+the
+wrong
+teaching
+I
+gave
+to
+the
+people
+when
+I
+was
+on
+earth
+I
+taught
+dogma
+and
+now
+I
+have
+to
+give
+them
+the
+truth
+Mrs
+W
+please
+forgive
+me
+for
+having
+obsessed
+your
+daughter
+I
+had
+no
+intention
+of
+doing
+what
+I
+did
+for
+I
+did
+it
+unconsciously
+Before
+I
+go
+I
+want
+to
+ask
+a
+favor
+of
+you
+Mrs
+W
+and
+that
+is
+tell
+Rev
+W
+to
+study
+and
+look
+into
+the
+truth
+before
+he
+comes
+to
+the
+spirit
+world
+so
+he
+will
+not
+be
+in
+darkness
+as
+I
+was
+Tell
+him
+he
+can
+give
+the
+truth
+to
+his
+people
+because
+the
+majority
+are
+ready
+for
+it
+It
+is
+very
+monotonous
+to
+sit
+and
+listen
+to
+the
+old
+time
+dogmas
+over
+and
+over
+again
+Tell
+him
+I
+said
+if
+he
+does
+not
+do
+this
+people
+will
+leave
+his
+church
+He
+is
+a
+good
+speaker
+and
+a
+good
+man
+and
+if
+he
+teaches
+the
+real
+truth
+as
+he
+will
+find
+it
+if
+he
+studies
+he
+will
+have
+many
+followers
+but
+if
+he
+keeps
+on
+with
+the
+old
+doctrine
+he
+will
+not
+have
+many
+attending
+his
+church
+If

+and
+has
+a

+he
+will

+has
+been
+to
+some
+Spiritualist
+meeting
+They

+so
+tell
+him
+to
+give
+it
+to
+them
+Tell
+him
+the
+old
+people
+in
+the
+Home
+should
+be
+rightly
+taught
+because
+they
+will
+soon
+come
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+and
+it
+is
+better
+that
+they
+should

+They
+know
+the

+and
+they
+do
+not

+to

+There
+are
+not

+now
+Tell
+Rev

+I
+am
+pleased
+to
+come
+here
+again
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+must
+take
+advantage
+of
+this
+evening
+to
+say
+something
+to
+my
+dear
+wife
+present
+in
+the

+I
+am
+so
+glad
+I
+can
+talk
+to

+as

+always
+talked
+I
+am
+happy
+she
+is
+here
+God
+bless

+my

+We
+were
+so
+happy
+together
+I
+would
+not

+to
+come

+at
+all
+if
+it

+This

+is

+a

+we
+gain

+In
+the

+we
+go
+on
+and
+on
+progressing
+but
+before
+we
+can

+we
+must
+have
+understanding
+of
+the
+spiritual
+laws
+If
+we
+have
+not
+the
+right
+understanding
+then
+we
+remain
+in
+darkness
+and
+hover
+around
+the
+earth
+plane
+I
+am
+pleased
+that
+I
+had
+even
+a
+little
+knowledge
+of
+the
+higher
+life
+for
+when
+I
+reached
+there
+my

+eyes
+were
+open

+I
+could

+realize
+the

+I
+have
+met
+many
+of
+my

+on

+Many
+whom
+I
+knew

+I
+have
+tried

+could

+express
+the

+on

+so
+that
+you
+would
+get
+the
+full

+There
+is
+such

+such
+harmony
+I
+have
+to
+thank
+little
+Silver
+Star
+one
+of
+Mrs
+Wickland
+s
+guides
+for
+having
+awakened
+me
+when
+I
+reached
+the
+other
+side
+Even
+with
+my
+knowledge
+of
+the
+other
+world
+I
+might
+have
+slept
+a
+long
+time
+because
+when
+I
+passed
+out
+I
+was
+in
+a
+heavy
+sleep
+from
+an
+opiate
+which
+was
+given
+me
+on
+account
+of
+the
+nature
+of
+my
+sickness
+But
+this
+little
+Indian
+girl
+called
+me
+by
+name
+and
+woke
+me
+up
+and
+brought
+me
+to
+the
+spirit
+world
+You
+know
+I
+had
+been
+sick
+for
+a
+long
+time
+and
+I
+was
+very
+sick
+before
+I
+passed
+out
+I
+made
+my
+mistake
+in
+trying
+for
+so
+long
+to
+cure
+myself
+Christian
+Science
+says
+we
+should
+overcome
+matter
+We
+cannot
+overcome
+matter
+by
+will
+When
+we
+are
+in
+the
+physical
+body
+and
+the
+body
+needs
+certain
+forces
+of
+which
+it
+is
+made
+if
+we
+do
+not
+get
+them
+in
+our
+food
+we
+must
+get
+them
+through
+medicine
+and
+so
+build
+up
+the
+body
+because
+will
+cannot
+conquer
+substance
+God
+has
+given
+us
+a
+will
+to
+use
+as
+a
+force
+in
+Nature
+and
+we
+should
+use
+it
+rightly
+When
+as
+Scientists
+we
+refuse
+to
+do
+this
+we
+must
+suffer
+the
+consequences
+I
+was
+an
+example
+of
+such
+a
+consequence
+I
+went
+into
+Science
+with
+full
+will
+power
+and
+full
+faith
+that
+there
+is
+no
+such
+thing
+as
+matter
+and
+that
+we
+should
+overcome
+it
+I
+tried
+and
+failed
+Mrs
+Eddy
+is
+suffering
+now
+for
+advancing
+that
+idea
+When
+you
+have
+a
+dress
+that
+is
+wearing
+out
+you
+try
+to
+get
+some
+material
+of
+the
+same
+color
+and
+quality
+with
+which
+to
+mend
+the
+dress
+We
+do
+not
+do
+that
+with
+our
+bodies
+We
+think
+the
+body
+should
+develop
+the
+substance
+it
+needs
+when
+it
+wears
+out
+I
+did
+not
+get
+enough
+elements
+in
+my
+food
+to
+build
+up
+my
+physical
+body
+my
+organs
+became
+atrophied
+and
+sluggish
+and
+were
+inactive
+because
+I
+did
+not
+take
+the
+right
+food
+to
+give
+them
+proper
+activity
+I
+should
+have
+gone
+to
+a

+instead
+I

+to
+use
+my
+will
+to
+make
+them
+work
+I
+tried
+by
+intelligence
+to
+overcome
+and
+build
+up
+the
+weak
+part
+of
+my
+body
+That
+is
+just
+as
+if
+one
+refused
+to
+mend
+a
+worn
+place
+in
+a
+dress
+insisting
+that
+no
+hole
+could
+come
+in
+that
+dress
+I
+was
+just
+as
+foolish
+about
+my
+body
+and
+I
+had
+to
+suffer
+the
+results
+When
+the
+body
+needs
+toning
+up
+we
+must
+do
+something
+to
+tone
+it
+up
+and
+to
+get
+the
+electric
+forces
+set
+right
+I
+passed
+out
+because
+I
+wore
+out
+my
+body
+with
+my
+mind
+and
+did
+not
+feed
+it
+or
+take
+sufficient
+care
+of
+it
+God
+gave
+us
+our
+bodies
+and
+He
+also
+gave
+us
+minds
+to
+take
+care
+of
+them
+If
+we
+become
+one
+sided
+and
+think
+mind
+is
+all
+then
+we
+get
+into
+trouble
+I
+took
+good
+care
+of
+my
+clothes
+but
+how
+little
+I
+took
+care
+of
+my
+body
+If
+I
+had
+paid
+half
+as
+much
+attention
+to
+my
+body
+as
+I
+did
+to
+my
+clothes
+I
+feel
+that
+I
+would
+have
+been
+on

+today
+Probably
+some
+day
+things
+will
+be
+so
+understood
+that
+there
+will
+be
+no
+death
+I
+mean
+that
+we
+will
+merely
+step
+out
+of
+the
+physical
+body
+into
+the
+spirit
+world
+If
+one
+would
+prepare
+himself
+for
+passing
+out
+of
+the
+body
+as
+he
+does
+for
+a
+journey
+he
+would
+be
+able
+to
+say
+Now
+I
+am
+ready
+to
+go
+I
+am
+through
+with
+this
+world
+It
+is
+time
+for
+me
+to
+go
+and
+I
+want
+to
+go
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+Then
+there
+would
+be
+no
+dread
+Many
+Christian
+Scientists
+ruin
+their
+bodies
+by
+lack
+of
+right
+care
+and
+often
+go
+as
+far
+as
+I
+did
+they
+use
+will
+no
+reason
+and
+take
+improper
+nourishment
+or
+not
+enough
+I
+knew
+about
+ten
+years
+ago
+that
+I
+should
+attend
+to
+my
+inactive
+organs
+If
+I
+had
+had
+them
+attended
+to
+I
+would
+not
+have
+suffered
+as
+I
+did
+I
+suffered
+a
+great
+deal
+and
+I
+used
+my
+will
+to
+make
+inactive
+parts
+act
+I
+should
+have
+liked
+to
+remain
+on
+earth
+long
+enough
+to
+do
+the
+work
+I
+felt
+I
+should
+do
+but
+I
+will
+do
+the
+work
+on
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+and
+when
+my
+wife
+comes
+we
+will
+work
+together
+My
+dear
+wife
+if
+I
+had
+thought
+less
+of
+mental
+or
+Christian
+Science
+and
+given
+more
+thought
+to
+the
+material
+side
+of
+things
+then
+you
+would
+be
+in
+a
+better
+position
+than
+you
+are
+now
+I
+really
+lost
+all
+thought
+of
+things
+material
+and
+I
+guess
+I
+thought
+we
+could
+live
+on
+air
+and
+I
+always
+thought
+conditions
+would
+change
+some
+time
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+I
+was
+so
+hypnotized
+in
+my
+work
+that
+I
+hardly
+lived
+in
+the
+material
+world
+If
+it
+had
+not
+been
+for
+my
+wife
+I
+think
+that
+sometimes
+I
+would
+have
+forgotten
+that
+I
+should
+eat
+at
+all
+I
+thank
+God
+she
+was
+not
+so
+deeply
+interested
+in
+the
+work
+as
+I
+because
+then
+there
+might
+be
+two
+dead
+people
+Before
+leaving
+I
+must
+tell
+you
+of
+a
+little
+experience
+When
+I
+passed
+out
+I
+was
+awakened
+by
+hearing
+somebody
+say
+How
+do
+you
+do
+I
+listened
+and
+once
+again
+I
+heard
+the
+quaint
+voice
+of
+my
+little
+friend
+Silver
+Star
+Then
+I
+thought
+I
+must
+be
+in
+California
+because
+I
+remembered
+that
+Dr
+Wickland
+and
+his
+wife
+were
+there
+and
+I
+thought
+that
+Silver
+Star
+was
+speaking
+through
+Mrs
+Wickland
+Nobody
+says
+How
+do
+you
+do
+like
+Silver
+Star
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+I
+had
+passed
+out
+of
+my
+body
+Again
+I
+heard
+Silver
+Star
+say
+How
+do
+you
+do
+in
+her
+strange
+way
+and
+then
+I
+began
+to
+wonder
+where
+I
+was
+All
+at
+once
+I
+seemed
+to
+be
+alive
+again
+Then
+I
+felt
+better
+I
+thought
+I
+must
+have
+gone
+through
+the
+crisis
+of
+my
+sickness
+and
+now
+I
+am
+feeling
+better
+and
+am
+waking
+up
+That
+was
+the
+time
+Silver
+Star
+brought
+me
+in
+to
+control
+Mrs
+Wickland
+I
+realized
+that
+I
+was
+weak
+from
+my
+sickness
+but
+having
+no
+pain
+I
+thought
+I
+was
+getting
+better
+I
+felt
+so
+light
+and
+strong
+that
+my
+first
+thought
+was
+that
+I
+could
+finish
+my
+book
+but
+when
+I
+really
+came
+to
+myself
+I
+heard
+Dr
+Wickland
+talking
+to
+me
+Then
+I
+thought
+Well
+how
+did
+I
+get
+to
+California
+How
+did
+I
+get
+here
+I
+must
+be
+dreaming
+It
+was
+some
+time
+before
+I
+realized
+where
+I
+was
+I
+did
+not
+even
+then
+realize
+that
+I
+was
+controlling
+Doctor
+asked
+me
+who
+I
+was
+I
+thought
+it
+strange
+that
+he
+did
+not
+know
+me
+but
+I
+told
+him
+that
+I
+was
+Mr
+M
+and
+asked
+whether
+he
+did
+not
+know
+me
+Doctor
+was
+very
+much
+surprised
+and
+explained
+as
+gently
+as
+he
+could
+that
+I
+had
+passed
+out
+of
+my
+mortal
+body
+a
+week
+before
+and
+was
+now
+a
+spirit
+That
+was
+the
+first
+time
+I
+realized
+that
+I
+had
+passed
+out
+of
+my
+physical
+body
+into
+a
+spiritual
+body
+It
+was
+very
+pleasant
+to
+think
+that
+I
+had
+wakened
+in
+a
+mortal
+body
+instead
+of
+in
+darkness
+Afterwards
+I
+saw
+many
+of
+my
+friends
+and
+I
+felt
+that
+there
+is
+no
+death
+Doctor
+talked
+to
+me
+for
+a
+while
+and
+then
+my
+father
+mother
+sister
+and
+brother
+all
+came
+to
+me
+and
+they
+brought
+many
+relatives
+and
+friends
+and
+we
+had
+a
+happy
+reunion
+one
+that
+can
+never
+be
+forgotten
+Only
+I
+wanted
+you
+my
+wife
+to
+be
+with
+me
+when
+I
+met
+all
+my
+relatives
+and
+friends
+When
+I
+realized
+that
+I
+was
+using
+an
+earthly
+body
+I
+felt
+sick
+again
+and
+my
+will
+power
+seemed
+to
+fail
+me
+I
+began
+to
+feel
+very
+weak
+and
+a
+sensation
+of
+sickness
+came
+over
+me
+I
+at
+once
+thought
+of
+my
+little
+friend
+Silver
+Star
+and
+she
+said
+I
+must
+throw
+away
+my
+old
+clothes
+because
+I
+had
+no
+use
+for
+my
+old
+body
+for
+I
+had
+new
+clothes
+now
+When
+I
+thought
+of
+my
+spiritual
+body
+I
+arose
+I
+felt
+I
+had
+new
+clothes
+and
+I
+received
+strength
+and
+left
+the
+physical
+altogether
+The
+magnetic
+current
+was
+cut
+and
+I
+dropped
+my
+old
+clothes
+entirely
+I
+was
+then
+lifted
+bodily
+so
+it
+seemed
+and
+I
+felt
+I
+was
+floating
+and
+we
+went
+through
+conditions
+of
+all
+kinds
+I
+felt
+so
+strange
+and
+saw
+so
+much
+that
+I
+grew
+fearful
+so
+they
+told
+me
+to
+shut
+my
+eyes
+and
+keep
+them
+shut
+which
+I
+did
+I
+did
+not
+know
+anything
+after
+that
+until
+they
+placed
+me
+on
+a
+beautiful
+bed
+I
+was
+very
+tired
+and
+all
+I
+wanted
+was
+to
+rest
+just
+rest
+When
+I
+awoke
+from
+that
+sleep
+of
+rest
+my
+relatives
+and
+friends
+were
+around
+me
+Somebody
+said
+Now
+you
+are
+well
+and
+strong
+and
+we
+will
+take
+a
+journey
+to
+our
+home
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+We
+went
+to
+many
+of
+their
+homes
+Each
+had
+a
+little
+home
+We
+were
+united
+and
+happy
+for
+here
+only
+harmony
+exists
+We
+traveled
+from
+one
+place
+to
+another
+When
+I
+had
+been
+to
+visit
+quite
+a
+few
+friends
+they
+said
+Now
+you
+have
+seen
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+Here
+we
+are
+not
+idle
+This
+is
+not
+a
+world
+in
+which
+one
+is
+idle
+it
+is
+a
+world
+of
+busy
+minds
+It
+is
+each
+one
+s
+duty
+to
+work
+Now
+you
+are
+strong
+and
+we
+will
+take
+another
+journey
+to
+earth
+I
+wanted
+to
+see
+my
+wife
+so
+much
+You
+were
+in
+my
+mind
+so
+much
+my
+wife
+and
+I
+wanted
+to
+see
+you
+We
+passed
+through
+the
+spirit
+world
+and
+earth
+sphere
+to
+matter
+again
+The
+earth
+is
+a
+little
+globe
+The
+globe
+has
+a
+sphere
+around
+it
+The
+distance
+between
+the
+spirit
+world
+and
+the
+world
+of
+matter
+is
+about
+sixty
+miles
+This
+sphere
+is
+the
+world
+of
+the
+spirits
+in
+darkness
+Christ
+went
+to
+the
+spirits
+in
+darkness
+and
+prison
+the
+prison
+of
+ignorance
+We
+passed
+through
+conditions
+that
+cannot
+be
+described
+the
+most
+hideous
+the
+most
+fiendish
+so
+ugly
+that
+I
+cannot
+describe
+them
+It
+made
+me
+shudder
+to
+see
+the
+condition
+of
+the
+crippled
+minds
+the
+selfish
+minds
+the
+jealous
+minds
+Each
+had
+the
+countenance
+of
+his
+mind
+They
+were
+dressed
+as
+when
+on
+earth
+but
+only
+because
+of
+their
+minds
+They
+were
+like
+vermin
+They
+were
+like
+a
+lot
+of
+worms
+stirred
+up
+and
+crawling
+over
+one
+another
+Talk
+about
+hell
+that
+surely
+was
+hell
+They
+told
+me
+that
+was
+the
+earthbound
+sphere
+Then
+we
+came
+to
+matter
+again
+We
+saw
+the
+people
+walking
+around
+in
+a
+life
+of
+matter
+each
+one
+in
+some
+kind
+of
+business
+It
+looked
+like
+a
+world
+of
+ants
+and
+each
+one
+seemed
+to
+have
+some
+of
+these
+evil
+minded
+spirits
+clinging
+to
+him
+They
+are
+like
+the
+barnacles
+on
+boats
+some
+are
+shaken
+off
+but
+others
+come
+on
+I
+cannot
+describe
+the
+sight
+I
+have
+been
+with
+you
+my
+wife
+You
+have
+felt
+me
+I
+could
+not
+impress
+you
+because
+I
+was
+not
+strong
+enough
+to
+use
+my
+mind
+for
+that
+purpose
+but
+still
+you
+have
+felt
+me
+It
+has
+only
+been
+a
+little
+because
+I
+had
+not
+strength
+enough
+to
+come
+closer
+I
+am
+with
+you
+a
+great
+deal
+After
+I
+learn
+in
+spirit
+how
+to
+overcome
+matter
+then
+I
+can
+come
+to
+you
+and
+help
+you
+I
+will
+build
+a
+home
+for
+you
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+and
+when
+that
+home
+is
+finished
+and
+your
+work
+here
+is
+done
+then
+I
+shall
+be
+the
+one
+to
+meet
+you
+and
+we
+will
+have
+a
+real
+home
+I
+want
+to
+thank
+you
+all
+for
+the
+privilege
+of
+coming
+to
+your
+little
+circle
+and
+would
+like
+to
+come
+again
+some
+other
+time
+An

+WICKLAND
+I
+wish
+that
+I
+had
+had
+less
+belief
+that
+I
+could
+cure
+myself
+by
+thought
+Everything
+that
+God
+has
+put
+in
+Nature
+is
+for
+man
+to
+use
+not
+misuse
+We
+should
+not
+condemn
+anything
+that
+God
+has
+given
+the
+world
+to
+use
+but
+we
+have
+so
+many
+beliefs
+and
+creeds
+that
+we
+forget
+the
+principle
+of
+our
+Maker
+If
+we
+would
+understand
+His
+wonderful
+work
+through
+Nature
+we
+would
+love
+others
+better
+than
+we
+do
+Do
+not
+condemn
+anything
+but
+teach
+men
+and
+women
+to
+love
+each
+other
+teach
+them
+to
+know
+what
+their
+duties
+are
+in

+Those
+on

+have
+so
+many

+that
+they
+drown
+themselves
+in

+forgetting
+that
+it
+is
+their
+duty
+to
+help
+the
+weak
+ones
+instead
+of
+stepping
+on

+it
+is

+God
+gave
+us
+to
+take
+care
+of
+and
+not
+misuse
+For

+there

+saw
+here
+tonight
+So
+long
+as
+my

+are
+in

+mortal
+body
+they
+are
+all
+right
+but
+once
+the

+is
+lost
+things
+go
+round
+and
+round
+My
+followers
+are
+in
+just
+as
+bad
+a
+condition
+as
+are
+those
+who
+followed
+orthodoxy
+When
+they
+pass
+out
+of
+the
+body
+everything
+they
+see
+is
+mortal
+mind
+Possibly
+you
+felt
+sorry
+you
+did
+not
+convert
+the
+spirit
+you
+had
+here
+tonight
+but
+while
+not
+successful
+with
+her
+hundreds
+of
+others
+were
+converted
+through
+seeing
+how
+foolish
+it
+all
+is
+and
+were
+helped
+through
+your
+talk
+This
+room
+was
+crowded
+with
+people
+and
+I
+hope
+you
+will
+all
+be
+liberal
+enough
+to
+never
+shut
+the
+door
+for
+the
+beautiful
+truth
+of

+return
+I
+bless

+ones
+sometime
+I
+thank

+We
+all
+have
+our
+ups
+and
+downs
+here
+as
+well
+as
+on
+the

+side
+of

+People
+think
+that

+change
+their
+condition
+when
+they
+die
+but
+they
+do
+not
+My
+people
+are
+especially
+fixed
+because
+everything
+with
+them
+outside
+of
+themselves
+is
+mortal
+mind
+and
+their
+own
+mind
+is
+Infinite
+Many

+have
+gone

+New
+Thought
+From

+being
+liberal
+will
+look

+They
+are
+more
+liberal
+in
+their
+reading
+of
+books
+I
+forbade
+my
+people
+to
+read
+anything
+but
+Science
+books
+That
+was
+because
+of
+my
+selfishness
+I
+wanted
+a
+church
+of
+my
+own
+with
+my
+people
+under
+my
+thumb
+How
+I
+do
+wish
+I
+had
+taught
+obsession
+which
+I
+knew
+was
+true
+but
+I
+did
+not
+When
+I
+used
+to
+go
+into
+trances
+I
+wrote
+a
+great
+deal
+and
+when
+I
+came
+to
+myself
+I
+would
+deny
+what
+I
+got
+I
+was
+obsessed
+by
+some
+spirit
+who
+wanted
+me
+to
+do
+such
+work
+and
+I
+could
+not
+really
+help
+myself
+If
+I
+had
+written
+the
+books
+as
+they
+were
+given
+to
+me
+and
+credited
+their
+source
+I
+might
+have
+revolutionized
+the
+world
+I
+again
+want
+to
+thank
+you
+and
+hope
+I
+can
+come
+another
+time
+I
+also
+want
+to
+thank
+you
+lady
+Mrs
+M
+mentioned
+in
+the
+first
+experience
+of
+this
+chapter
+because
+your
+husband
+helped
+me
+in
+the
+very
+beginning
+In
+the
+spirit
+world
+He
+was
+one
+that
+helped
+me
+to
+a
+better
+understanding
+and
+brought
+me
+here
+where
+I
+could
+get
+help
+I
+hope
+you
+will
+have
+all
+the
+success
+you
+wish
+Concentrate
+your
+mind
+on
+success
+and
+have
+no
+fear
+that
+you
+will
+not
+succeed
+and
+all
+over
+the
+world
+will
+spread
+this
+wonderful
+truth
+of
+spirit
+return
+and
+obsession
+and
+through
+your
+obsession
+work
+you
+will
+cure
+many
+more
+people
+than
+I
+did
+In
+our
+work
+often
+when
+a
+healing
+was
+instantaneous
+it
+was
+an
+obsession
+being
+relieved
+You
+understand
+also
+that
+all
+the
+healers
+are
+in
+the
+circle
+of
+concentration
+with
+the
+power
+of
+the
+whole
+church
+to
+aid
+them
+and
+that
+power
+of
+concentration
+is
+so
+strong
+that
+an
+obsession
+cannot
+live
+in
+that
+atmosphere
+Many
+I
+cured
+were
+obsessed
+but
+they
+concentrated
+that
+they
+were
+not
+sick
+How
+are
+they
+helped
+I
+will
+tell
+you
+The
+average
+doctor
+tells
+a
+patient
+that
+he
+has
+such
+and
+such
+a
+sickness
+He
+creates
+a
+fear
+in
+his
+mind
+Let
+us
+take
+a
+case
+of
+gall
+stones
+It
+is
+very
+hard
+to
+diagnose
+such
+a
+case
+correctly
+The
+doctor
+says
+the
+patient
+has
+gall
+stones
+sometimes
+he
+operates
+when
+that
+should
+not
+be
+done
+Sometimes
+the
+patient
+gets
+well
+without
+an
+operation
+That
+is
+due
+to
+his
+mind
+He
+concentrates
+his
+mind
+on
+gall
+stones
+gall
+stones
+until
+he
+can
+think
+of
+nothing
+else
+You
+understand
+you
+have
+in
+your
+mind
+a
+creative
+power
+We
+have
+a
+spark
+of
+the
+Infinite
+within
+us
+In
+that
+Divine
+spark
+God
+created
+the
+world
+all
+in
+it
+and
+you
+as
+a
+part
+Each
+of
+us
+has
+much
+of
+that
+creative
+power
+and
+when
+you
+set
+your
+mind
+working
+with
+that
+power
+you
+create
+your
+condition
+When
+you
+go
+to
+one
+of
+my
+practitioners
+the
+first
+thing
+that
+is
+done
+is
+to
+take
+your
+mind
+off
+your
+sickness
+You
+are
+given
+absent
+treatment
+to
+get
+rid
+of
+fear
+You
+have
+the
+same
+creative
+power
+within
+yourself
+In
+a
+case
+of
+diphtheria
+the
+mind
+can
+help
+but
+we
+cannot
+kill
+germs
+There
+are
+many
+things
+we
+fail
+in
+but
+we
+have
+success
+with
+chronic
+cases
+We
+have
+more
+success
+because
+so
+many
+are
+obsessed
+When
+you
+have
+fear
+you
+are
+negative
+I
+will
+be
+with
+you
+to
+teach
+obsession
+to
+the
+world
+Teach
+the
+real
+truth
+and
+do
+not
+care
+for
+people
+s
+opinions
+If
+only
+I
+could
+go
+to
+my
+Mother
+Church
+and
+teach
+them
+the
+truth
+Thank
+you
+each
+and
+every
+one
+of
+you
+and
+sometime
+I
+shall
+come
+again
+That
+the

+power

+I
+wish
+all
+could
+realize
+and
+understand
+how
+beautiful
+and
+simple
+conditions
+are
+if
+people
+would
+only
+open
+their
+eyes
+to
+see
+them
+I
+mean
+they
+should
+open
+the
+soul
+eyes
+but
+they
+are
+so
+material
+And
+everything
+that
+is
+being
+taught
+is
+only
+matter
+People
+cannot
+grasp
+spiritual
+things
+The
+Bible
+is
+a
+beautiful
+book
+if
+it
+is
+read
+spiritually
+not
+taken
+literally
+and
+not
+as
+history
+I
+wanted
+to
+study
+and
+learn
+what
+is
+in
+life
+what
+is
+the
+aim
+of
+life
+here
+on
+earth
+If
+you
+would
+only
+stop
+to
+think
+and
+study
+yourself
+a
+little
+you
+would
+see
+how
+wonderfully
+God
+has
+manifested
+in
+you
+First
+there
+is
+your
+material
+body
+how
+beautifully
+and
+wonderfully
+it
+is
+constructed
+But
+how
+much
+more
+wonderful
+your
+mind
+is
+How
+few
+understand
+the
+real
+meaning
+of
+life
+it
+is
+always
+theory
+or
+dogma
+It
+seems
+hard
+to
+get
+people
+to
+understand
+When
+they
+get
+a
+little
+glimpse
+of
+light
+they
+add
+dogma
+and
+theories
+of
+various
+kinds
+If
+they
+would
+only
+be
+natural
+and
+look
+at
+Nature
+Everywhere
+you
+look
+it
+is
+so
+simple
+to
+understand
+There
+is
+no
+dogma
+or
+theory
+in
+Nature
+s
+finer
+forces
+These
+forces
+are
+hidden
+but
+they
+are
+for
+you
+to
+discover
+It
+is
+for
+you
+to
+find
+God
+s
+wonderful
+manifestation
+in
+Nature
+Let
+us
+worship
+God
+in
+that
+way
+Let
+us
+worship
+Him
+in
+that
+wonderful
+spirit
+which
+is
+everywhere
+Let
+us
+send
+out
+love
+to
+His
+children
+We
+are
+all
+children
+of
+God
+not
+just
+my
+child
+or
+your
+child
+but
+all
+Do
+not
+think
+there
+is
+no
+one
+for
+you
+but
+your
+own
+child
+That
+attitude
+is
+a
+sin
+and
+very
+selfish
+for
+it
+is
+all
+only
+for
+self
+Let
+us
+give
+out
+love
+as
+God
+gives
+it
+to
+us
+all
+Let
+the
+sun
+shine
+every
+day
+on
+us
+and
+on
+everybody
+not
+one
+or
+two
+but
+all
+Let
+the
+sun
+of
+understanding
+bring
+out
+beautiful
+thoughts
+of
+love
+I
+want
+to
+know
+the
+real
+life
+I
+have
+had
+many
+difficulties
+and
+I
+still
+have
+because
+I
+wanted
+to
+shine
+and
+I
+wanted
+to
+be
+a
+light
+I
+wanted
+to
+be
+known
+as
+one
+of
+The
+Teachers
+I
+had
+my
+difficulties
+before
+I
+attained
+my
+ambition
+I
+followed
+studies
+of
+various
+kinds
+but
+most
+of
+all
+the
+secret
+of
+suggestion
+If
+you
+knew
+how
+to
+apply
+and
+concentrate
+Get
+one
+thing
+in
+mind
+and
+do
+not
+let
+anything
+else
+come
+into
+your
+mind
+just
+concentrate
+your
+thoughts
+on
+that
+very
+thing
+Suggest
+and
+suggest
+and
+concentrate
+then
+you
+will
+gain
+strength
+and
+power
+When
+you
+talk
+try
+to
+suggest
+things
+keep
+them
+in
+your
+mind
+and
+hold
+them
+because
+you
+have
+power
+over
+them
+There
+are
+meetings
+of
+various
+kinds
+but
+in
+a
+meeting
+for
+concentration
+and
+suggestion
+there
+is
+power
+and
+strength
+A
+man
+can
+hold
+his
+audience
+by
+his
+hypnotic
+power
+and
+you
+follow
+along
+and
+presently
+you
+get
+strength
+and
+power
+I
+studied
+that
+because
+I
+wanted
+to
+have
+such
+power
+and
+I
+got
+it
+I
+got
+that
+but
+another
+much
+more
+important
+thing
+I
+did
+not
+get
+which
+was
+to
+study
+Nature
+s
+finer
+forces
+instead
+of
+clothing
+myself
+with
+one
+idea
+and
+just
+circling
+around
+and
+around
+I
+held
+people
+in
+that
+circle
+and
+did
+not
+let
+them
+get
+out
+If
+I
+had
+only
+done
+what
+was
+first
+given
+to
+me
+in
+a
+vision
+That
+is
+what
+I
+should
+have
+done
+but
+I
+closed
+the
+door
+because
+I
+wanted
+to
+hold
+my
+people
+through
+suggestion
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+had
+the
+power
+to
+conquer
+everything
+even
+the
+world
+I
+did
+a
+great
+deal
+but
+selfishness
+crept
+in
+I
+meant
+well
+in
+the
+beginning
+and
+I
+did
+well
+but
+I
+was
+selfish
+I
+thought
+I
+had
+it
+all
+Others
+had
+power
+before
+me
+and
+others
+will
+have
+it
+after
+me
+in
+the

+but
+I
+felt
+I
+had
+it
+all
+and
+that
+I
+had
+found
+it
+all
+I
+was
+not
+true
+I
+should

+I
+had

+given
+it
+to
+others
+as
+it
+was
+given
+to

+but
+I
+did
+not
+I
+called
+it
+my
+own
+and
+I
+closed
+the
+door
+for
+the
+real
+truth
+I
+found
+the
+truth
+in
+the
+beginning
+but
+I
+clung
+to
+theory
+and
+that
+is
+the
+way
+with
+all
+of
+us
+who
+try
+to
+be
+leading
+lights
+We
+are
+always
+clinging
+to
+theories
+and
+not
+to
+the
+truth
+Theories
+seem
+to
+hold
+the
+people
+better
+than
+does
+the
+truth
+We
+do
+not
+teach
+it
+as
+we
+should
+The
+truth
+would
+always
+stand
+if
+we
+did
+not
+deny
+it
+All
+leaders
+want
+a
+little
+theory
+of
+their
+own
+and
+want

+If
+I
+had
+taught
+the
+truth
+I
+should
+be

+People
+may
+say

+cannot
+do
+so
+truthfully
+because

+spirit
+will
+be

+truth
+upon
+them
+I

+thoughts
+for

+health
+to
+the

+That
+was
+power
+and
+removed
+the
+fear
+of
+sickness
+from

+When

+the
+first
+thing

+You
+will
+be
+well
+and
+you
+will
+do
+well
+in
+every
+way
+Now
+I
+will
+say
+just
+a
+few
+words
+about
+my
+experience
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+In
+the
+first
+place
+when
+I
+passed
+into
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+it
+was
+in
+one
+way
+surprising
+to
+me
+because
+I
+had
+concentrated
+that
+I
+should
+live
+forever
+and
+had
+gotten
+the
+idea
+in
+my
+mind
+that
+I
+would
+not
+die
+I
+had
+the
+idea
+that
+there
+is
+no
+death
+and
+that
+I
+would
+never
+die
+I
+took
+it
+literally
+I
+thought
+my
+body
+would
+never
+die
+and
+that
+I
+would
+stay
+on
+earth
+forever
+There
+is
+no
+death
+when
+you
+have
+understanding
+we
+only
+change
+the
+physical
+body
+for
+the
+spiritual
+My
+body
+began
+to
+grow
+old
+I
+concentrated
+and
+suggested
+but
+I
+used
+too
+much
+energy
+in
+my
+work
+and
+I
+wore
+out
+Finally
+I
+lost
+out
+and
+another
+stepped
+in
+at
+the
+last
+I
+was
+obsessed
+Of
+course
+my
+people
+did
+not
+know
+it
+but
+there
+were
+times
+when
+I
+was
+not
+myself
+I
+thought
+I
+would
+never
+die
+but
+I
+had
+to
+go
+just
+the
+same
+Now
+I
+can
+see
+how
+ridiculous
+the
+thing
+was
+You
+know
+I
+did
+not
+believe
+in
+matter
+There
+was
+no
+such
+thing
+as
+matter
+still
+my
+body
+was
+placed
+in
+a
+casket
+and
+sealed
+so
+well
+that
+my
+body
+could
+never
+get
+out
+of
+the
+casket
+It
+was
+sealed
+in
+many
+ways
+so
+nobody
+could
+get
+it
+If
+there
+is
+no
+matter
+why
+should
+all
+that
+money
+have
+been
+used
+to
+put
+my
+body
+into
+the
+grave
+That
+was
+against
+my
+teachings
+but
+we
+are
+material
+nevertheless
+When
+I
+woke
+up
+to
+life
+remember
+I
+say
+life
+because
+that
+was
+the
+real
+life
+I
+had
+a
+spirit
+body
+In
+my
+visions
+I
+had
+been
+to
+the
+spirit
+world
+many
+times
+and
+had
+always
+returned
+to
+earth
+This
+time
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+could
+go
+back
+again
+but
+my
+body
+was
+not
+there
+It
+had
+been
+interred
+Still
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+the
+change
+because
+I
+had
+closed
+the
+door
+for
+spirit
+return
+I
+did
+not
+want
+to
+teach
+it
+I
+knew
+it
+because
+I
+was
+a
+medium
+in
+my
+early
+days
+I
+gave
+readings
+in
+Boston
+for
+some
+time
+and
+I
+gave
+lectures
+as
+well
+but
+after
+a
+while
+I
+denied
+it
+all
+the
+truth
+was
+not
+in
+me
+When
+I
+woke
+up
+in
+my
+spirit
+body
+I
+still
+did
+not
+realize
+that
+it
+was
+not
+my
+material
+body
+It
+was
+very
+hard
+for
+me
+to
+understand
+that
+I
+had
+gone
+through
+the
+change
+called
+death
+because
+I
+had
+concentrated
+and
+concentrated
+that
+I
+should
+never
+die
+The
+realization
+took
+much
+time
+Then
+I
+had
+much
+to
+do
+and
+many
+difficulties
+to
+overcome
+First
+of
+all
+came
+my
+brother
+Albert
+When
+he
+came
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+did
+not
+want
+to
+have
+anything
+to
+do
+with
+spirits
+You
+see
+I
+said
+in
+my
+book
+that
+there
+is
+no
+such
+thing
+as
+spirit
+return
+I
+had
+so
+hypnotized
+myself
+with
+that
+theory
+that
+it
+was
+real

+Let

+Get

+Take

+That

+You
+must
+be
+able
+to
+concentrate
+your

+on
+one
+object
+for

+This
+will
+require
+a

+Keep

+keep
+your

+on
+the
+object
+and
+you
+will
+find
+in
+time
+that

+When

+will
+feel

+because
+you
+have
+a
+part
+of
+life
+itself
+God
+When
+you
+have
+gained
+that
+power
+you
+can

+will
+have
+strength
+and
+health
+and
+you
+will

+Now
+I
+have
+the
+power
+in
+my
+hands
+and
+I
+can
+heal
+for
+you
+cannot
+heal
+if
+your
+mind
+is
+not
+there
+For
+that
+reason
+many
+healers
+are
+not
+successful
+The
+mind
+must
+be
+centered
+on
+one
+object
+before
+you
+can
+heal
+That
+is
+the
+secret
+of
+healing
+Now
+learn

+lesson
+and
+conquer
+When
+you
+are
+sick
+or

+you
+will
+feel
+that
+you
+have
+great
+power
+and
+that
+you
+can
+heal
+because
+you
+will
+receive
+strength
+from
+God
+to
+heal
+That
+is
+another
+secret
+We

+all
+understand
+it
+By
+concentration
+without
+fear
+and
+worry
+you
+can

+A

+had
+been

+until
+the
+age
+of
+five
+when
+he
+began
+to
+manifest
+precocious
+tendencies
+and
+acted
+strangely
+Formerly
+he
+had
+had
+the
+natural
+disposition
+of
+a
+child
+but
+began
+to
+fret
+about
+things
+ordinarily
+foreign
+to
+a
+child

+mind
+and
+acted
+in
+many
+ways
+like

+He
+worried
+over

+awake
+at
+night
+with
+strange
+mutterings
+and
+presentiments
+and
+at
+times
+had
+an
+uncontrollable

+He
+was
+a
+boy
+of
+good
+appearance
+but
+talked
+constantly
+of
+being
+old
+homely
+and
+ugly
+looking
+and
+was
+so
+intractable
+that
+efforts
+at
+reprimand
+and
+correction
+proved
+of
+no
+avail
+This
+condition
+became
+so
+aggravated
+that

+him
+that
+after
+death
+individuals
+could
+reincarnate
+and
+become
+whatever
+they
+wished

+desire
+was
+to
+be
+good

+would
+not
+shun
+him
+he
+decided
+to
+try
+and

+As

+and
+I
+felt
+him
+around
+me
+This
+beautiful
+truth
+will
+come
+to
+everyone
+who
+earnestly
+seeks
+after
+it
+and
+after
+finding
+it
+we
+must
+stand
+for
+it
+in
+all
+honesty
+and
+sincerity
+because
+if
+we
+do
+not
+doubt
+will
+come
+in
+and
+fear
+and
+shut
+the
+door
+for
+our
+dear
+ones
+who
+have
+only
+gone
+ahead
+to
+prepare
+our
+home
+everlasting
+How
+we
+mortals
+are
+clothed
+with
+doubt
+and
+when
+the
+truth
+of
+continued
+existence
+is
+presented
+to
+us
+even
+then
+we
+doubt
+The
+Bible
+is
+full
+of
+the
+beautiful
+truth
+which
+is
+revealed
+to
+us
+but
+still
+we
+all
+doubt
+When
+I
+found
+the
+truth
+I
+wanted
+to
+teach
+it
+to
+the
+world
+but
+my
+physical
+body
+was
+not
+strong
+enough
+to
+do
+what
+I
+should
+have
+liked
+I
+tried
+to
+tell
+it
+to
+the
+soldiers
+because
+I
+knew
+that
+to
+them
+the
+truth
+would
+be
+a
+Godsend
+because
+they
+were
+here
+today
+and
+tomorrow
+there
+Should
+I
+not
+when
+I
+had
+found
+the
+truth
+give
+them
+the
+understanding
+that
+there
+is
+no
+death
+They
+then
+felt
+that
+they
+could
+go
+right
+on
+and
+fight
+because
+they
+realized
+that
+death
+was
+not
+the
+end
+of
+life
+It
+would
+only
+be
+the
+clothing
+the
+body
+which
+would
+be
+destroyed
+How
+courageous
+and
+how
+happy
+they
+were
+when
+I
+said
+to
+them
+that
+there
+is
+no
+death
+only
+a
+transition
+to
+a
+happier
+and
+more
+beautiful
+state
+and
+I
+wished
+so
+much
+that
+I
+could
+give
+them
+more
+I
+spent
+my
+life
+in
+dogmas
+all
+my
+life
+in
+trying
+to
+do
+good
+I
+did
+good
+but
+my
+thoughts
+were
+clothed
+with
+dogmas
+of
+different
+kinds
+At
+last
+I
+found
+the
+truth
+Oh
+my
+dear
+Robert
+had
+to
+go
+to
+open
+the
+door
+before
+I
+could
+realize
+what
+was
+awaiting
+me
+I
+did
+some
+good
+after
+I
+found
+the
+truth
+let
+us
+all
+do
+the
+same
+People
+will
+scoff
+at
+you
+at
+times
+but
+never
+mind
+never
+mind
+By
+so
+doing
+you
+will
+become
+stronger
+and
+you
+will
+find
+that
+it
+will
+help
+you
+to
+grow
+in
+understanding
+I
+found
+the
+truth
+but
+by
+a
+dangerous
+method
+I
+had
+to
+struggle
+as
+well
+with
+that
+The
+Ouija
+Board
+is
+a
+dangerous
+thing
+and
+I
+found
+it
+out
+It
+greatly
+weakened
+me
+Be
+very
+guarded
+in
+seeking
+for
+the
+truth
+for
+it
+is
+a
+dangerous
+road
+You
+must
+learn
+the
+way
+in
+order
+to
+have
+help
+and
+guidance
+I
+had
+struggles
+with
+others
+because
+I
+went
+into
+the
+midst
+of
+earthbound
+spirits
+as
+well
+as
+the
+soldiers
+If
+you
+could
+only
+realize
+the
+dreadful
+pressure
+around
+the
+soldiers
+They
+wanted
+light
+on
+one
+side
+as
+well
+as
+on
+the
+other
+Spirits
+yet
+in
+ignorance
+of
+the
+higher
+life
+It
+was
+too
+much
+pressure
+on
+my
+physical
+body
+and
+I
+gave
+out
+I
+could
+not
+stand
+it
+or
+the
+thoughts
+that
+were
+centered
+on
+me
+I
+taught
+the
+truth
+to
+the
+soldiers
+on
+earth
+but
+I
+did
+not
+realize
+how
+many
+I
+lectured
+to
+who
+had
+gone
+before
+The
+strain
+was
+too
+great
+for
+me
+so
+I
+came
+home
+not
+weak
+in
+spirit
+but
+in
+body
+Still
+I
+feel
+happy
+that
+I
+was
+enabled
+to
+help
+I
+found
+the
+world
+of
+spirits
+where
+I
+could
+be
+with
+my
+dear
+one
+whom
+I
+loved
+the
+most
+You
+wonder
+where
+the
+real
+life
+is
+The
+real
+life
+is
+on
+the
+other
+side
+of
+the
+grave
+as
+you
+call
+it
+This
+life
+is
+only
+a
+temporary
+school
+the
+school
+of
+learning
+to
+know
+ourselves
+and
+for
+what
+object
+we
+are
+here
+People
+think
+that
+when
+they
+die
+they
+will
+see
+God
+but
+how
+few
+realize
+what
+God
+means
+God
+is
+the
+Life
+of
+all
+things
+How
+little
+people
+think
+of
+this
+earth
+plane
+and
+what
+it
+really
+is
+It
+is
+only
+an
+infinitesimal
+part
+of
+the
+Universe
+Once
+I
+thought
+of
+reincarnation
+I
+was
+at
+one
+time
+a
+Theosophist
+Theosophy
+is
+all
+right
+so
+far
+as
+it
+goes
+the
+thoughts
+and
+teachings
+are
+beautiful
+but
+why
+should
+we
+reincarnate
+on
+this
+little
+planet
+I
+would
+not
+care
+to
+come
+back
+to
+the
+earth
+plane
+except
+to
+tell
+you
+of
+the
+higher
+and
+real
+life
+which
+lies
+before
+you
+I
+would
+not
+like
+to
+come
+back
+to
+this
+earth
+plane
+again
+to
+be
+a
+little
+baby
+and
+I
+do
+not
+see
+why
+I
+should
+for
+what
+would
+I
+learn
+Could
+souls
+like
+we
+come
+back
+into
+children
+again
+and
+feel
+satisfied
+After
+you
+have
+learned
+the
+higher
+things
+of
+life
+you
+do
+not
+care
+to
+come
+back
+to
+matter
+another
+time
+You
+want
+to
+learn
+while
+here
+and
+gain
+sufficient
+knowledge
+so
+that
+when
+you
+pass
+on
+you
+will
+not
+want
+to
+come
+back
+and
+learn
+it
+over
+You
+can
+learn
+much
+about
+the
+other
+side
+of
+life
+while
+here
+and
+when
+you
+pass
+over
+there
+you
+will
+learn
+more
+and
+more
+of
+things
+which
+you
+could
+not
+learn
+while
+here
+because
+you
+could
+not
+understand
+them
+Oh
+the
+world
+of
+worlds
+If
+you
+could
+only
+travel
+to
+the
+beautiful
+worlds
+beyond
+and
+see
+the
+grandeur
+there
+We
+also
+have
+to
+serve
+to
+bring
+others
+to
+the
+same
+harmony
+we
+enjoy
+We
+cannot
+return
+and
+be
+babies
+again
+but
+we
+step
+down
+to
+earth
+life
+to
+help
+our
+loved
+ones
+and
+friends
+There
+was
+a
+time
+when
+I
+thought
+I
+had
+reincarnated
+because
+when
+I
+would
+write
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+had
+been
+here
+before
+but
+I
+find
+that
+it
+was
+only
+spirits
+who
+sent
+the
+thoughts
+to
+my
+mind
+and
+gave
+me
+strength
+to
+write
+and
+in
+that
+way
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+had
+been
+here
+before
+It
+was
+only
+another
+s
+mind
+reflecting
+on
+my
+mind
+The
+work
+you
+are
+doing
+here
+is
+one
+I
+wish
+I
+had
+known
+about
+and
+could
+have
+helped
+with
+because
+it
+is
+so
+much
+needed
+So
+many
+need
+help
+and
+enlightenment
+We
+cannot
+reach
+many
+from
+our
+side
+of
+life
+because
+they
+are
+bond
+servants
+to
+creeds
+and
+desires
+of
+different
+kinds
+which
+attract
+them
+to
+this
+earth
+plane
+We
+must
+have
+stations
+like
+this
+where
+we
+can
+bring
+them
+and
+open
+their
+spiritual
+eyes
+that
+they
+may
+see
+Then
+they
+will
+see
+us
+and
+we
+can
+help
+them
+to
+a
+better
+understanding
+Let
+us
+all
+try
+to
+concentrate
+for
+training
+schools
+where
+earthbound
+spirits
+can
+be
+brought
+for
+enlightenment
+You
+may
+be
+surprised
+to
+think
+I
+came
+tonight
+I
+have
+tried
+to
+come
+through
+Ouija
+Boards
+and
+I
+have
+tried
+to
+come
+other
+ways
+but
+here
+I
+can
+step
+in
+and
+talk
+as
+you
+talk
+It
+is
+like
+talking
+through
+a
+telephone
+and
+I
+feel
+strong
+I
+feel
+now
+that
+I
+am
+amongst
+you
+really
+in
+body
+and
+in
+spirit
+We
+must
+all
+unite
+and
+do
+all
+we
+can
+to
+further
+this
+work
+because
+we
+want
+stations
+like
+this
+here
+there
+and
+everywhere
+In
+time
+you
+will
+have
+receivers
+which
+will
+record
+messages
+from
+our
+side
+of
+life
+It
+will
+not
+be
+long
+before
+a
+message
+will
+come
+over
+this
+receiver
+from
+the
+other
+world
+that
+will
+awaken
+the
+people
+from
+their
+creeds
+It
+will
+awaken
+the
+churches
+Churches
+will
+be
+empty
+but
+it
+will
+only
+be
+for
+a
+short
+time
+because
+a
+new
+religion
+will
+spring
+up
+a
+religion
+which
+will
+be
+founded
+on
+the
+truth
+of
+spirit
+return
+and
+not
+on
+dogma
+People
+will
+live
+for
+others
+and
+will
+not
+grasp
+all
+for
+themselves
+The
+churches
+will
+be
+for
+the
+people
+and
+not
+for
+creeds
+People
+will
+pay
+money
+to
+the
+church
+but
+it
+will
+be
+to
+further
+the
+work
+of
+the
+beautiful
+truth
+of
+the
+life
+beyond
+There
+will
+not
+be
+any
+salvation
+but
+you
+will
+learn
+to
+know
+that
+we
+are
+with
+you
+There
+will
+be
+churches
+which
+will
+have
+open
+doors

+but
+in

+spirit
+world
+you
+are

+You
+have
+no
+brain
+to

+Life
+is

+Everything
+you
+have
+learned
+through
+life
+that
+belongs

+is
+stored

+but
+so
+long
+as
+you
+live
+in
+the
+material
+body
+the
+cells
+clog
+up
+You
+lose
+your

+because
+the

+cannot
+work
+on
+the
+brain
+cells
+as
+well
+in
+old
+age
+as
+in
+youth
+The
+cells
+are
+not
+so
+active
+and
+there
+are
+times
+when
+memory
+is
+shut
+out
+There
+are
+times
+when
+you
+feel
+like
+a
+drowning
+man
+everything
+stands
+before
+you
+things
+which
+have
+been
+forgotten
+As
+spirits
+we
+have
+our
+memory
+but
+when
+we
+come
+back
+and
+control
+a
+medium
+sometimes
+even
+our
+names
+are
+forgotten
+We
+get
+into
+another
+body
+very
+much
+like
+obsession
+Dr
+That
+must
+be
+a
+form
+of
+obsession
+Sp
+No
+it
+is
+not
+When
+obsession
+takes
+place
+the
+spirit
+clings
+to
+that
+body
+and
+it
+is
+hard
+to
+let
+go
+I
+would
+say
+that
+there
+is
+not
+one
+person
+on

+who
+is
+not
+obsessed
+in
+one
+way
+or
+another
+You
+know
+in
+olden
+times
+when
+I
+was
+a
+young
+boy
+life
+was
+very
+different
+from
+what
+it
+is
+now
+We
+did
+not
+hurry
+because
+there
+was
+nothing
+to
+hurry
+for
+Now
+life
+is
+all
+hurry
+People
+are
+living
+too
+rapid
+a

+If
+a
+man
+does
+not
+work
+fast
+they
+say
+Quit
+him
+if
+he
+does
+not
+do
+that
+and
+that
+Quit
+him
+Nowadays
+people
+have
+to
+be
+so
+keen
+that
+the
+nervous
+system
+fails
+and
+they
+lose
+themselves
+then
+the
+spirits
+step
+in
+If
+you
+were
+a
+clairvoyant
+and
+walked
+down
+some
+busy
+street
+You
+would
+be
+surprised
+to
+find
+how
+many
+persons
+have
+invisible
+company
+Very
+few
+people
+on
+entering
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+even
+among
+the
+Spiritualists
+who
+preach
+it
+understand
+the
+condition
+of
+the
+higher
+life
+Dr
+They
+usually
+care
+only
+for
+phenomena
+they
+do
+not
+care
+for

+Sp
+Tonight
+I
+brought
+about
+one
+hundred
+spirits
+here
+At
+first
+I
+lectured
+to
+them
+and
+tried
+to
+waken
+them
+but
+could
+not
+Then
+I
+saw
+the
+English
+lady
+spirit
+who
+preceded
+him
+in
+controlling
+psychic
+and
+from
+her
+actions
+I
+thought
+she
+would
+listen
+but
+she
+would
+not
+So
+she
+was
+allowed
+to
+control
+Mrs
+Wickland
+and
+served
+as
+an
+object
+lesson
+The
+other
+spirits
+were
+watching
+her
+as
+they
+thought
+she
+acted
+so
+strangely
+They
+were
+curious
+so
+they
+roused
+themselves
+and
+woke
+up
+then
+I
+could
+talk
+You
+may
+think
+that
+sometimes
+we
+bring
+in
+strange
+spirits
+but
+it
+is
+to
+help
+many
+others
+as
+well
+as
+to
+give
+the
+controlling
+spirit
+an
+understanding
+of
+spiritual
+things
+Forget
+Reincarnation
+because
+it
+is
+a
+sandbag
+around
+your
+neck
+You
+will
+have
+that
+so
+centered
+in
+your
+mind
+that
+you
+will
+think
+and
+think
+about
+only
+that
+and
+then
+you
+will
+stay
+just
+where
+you
+are
+You
+cannot
+progress
+because
+your
+mind
+will
+always
+revert
+to
+the
+earth
+again
+and
+that
+Gate
+which
+was
+opened
+for
+the
+English
+lady
+could
+never
+be
+opened
+to
+any
+one
+who
+believed
+in
+reincarnation
+The
+thought
+of
+it
+is
+so
+self
+hypnotizing
+and
+so
+self
+satisfying
+that
+there
+is
+nothing
+in
+your
+mind
+except
+coming
+back
+and
+those
+are
+real
+selfish
+thoughts
+You
+wrap
+yourself
+in
+those
+thoughts
+and
+you
+remain
+just
+where
+you
+are
+You
+cannot
+reincarnate
+I
+have
+seen
+the
+effect
+of
+such
+thoughts
+and
+have
+also
+talked
+with
+people
+who
+believed
+in
+reincarnation
+Ques
+What
+does
+Madam
+Blavatsky
+think
+about
+reincarnation
+now
+Sp
+We
+had

+took
+a
+very
+long
+time
+but
+now
+all
+she
+would
+like
+to
+come

+be
+to
+correct
+her
+mistakes

+That
+is

+I
+thought

+should
+see

+I
+have
+not

+never

+the
+Principle

+I

+wish
+I
+had
+taught

+and

+I
+do

+but
+when
+truth
+comes
+to
+us
+we
+shut
+it
+out
+Truth
+is
+always
+hidden
+We
+have
+to
+search
+to
+find
+it
+Theories
+and
+dogmas
+seem
+to
+have
+more
+chance
+in
+the
+world
+than
+truth
+Every
+one
+has
+some
+manifestations
+but
+hides
+them
+instead
+of
+acknowledging
+them
+I
+wanted
+to
+be
+a
+leader
+in
+some
+way
+or
+another
+Now
+I
+want
+to
+bring
+the

+I
+had

+I
+did
+a
+great
+deal
+in

+but
+I
+commenced

+investigate
+Theosophy

+Theosophy
+should
+go

+in

+To
+me
+came
+Reincarnation
+It
+appealed
+to
+me
+for
+a
+time
+I
+could
+not
+see
+the

+clearly
+I
+felt
+that
+it
+was
+very
+unjust
+some
+should
+be

+and
+have
+so

+did
+not
+get
+enough
+earth
+experience
+at

+so
+I
+felt
+I
+studied
+Reincarnation
+and
+I
+thought
+there
+was

+in
+the

+that
+we
+come
+back
+and
+learn
+and
+have

+felt
+I
+knew
+all
+about
+my

+but
+I
+was

+study
+Theosophy
+you
+develop

+You
+remove

+Naturally
+you
+become

+naturally
+you
+feel

+this
+for

+former
+incarnations
+I
+did
+not

+this

+came
+to
+the

+side
+of

+I
+learned
+differently
+I
+studied
+a
+great
+deal
+Theosophy
+is
+the

+While

+sorry
+to
+say
+many
+have
+not

+let

+acquire

+we

+to
+a

+In

+life
+you
+have
+your
+material
+body
+to
+hinder
+you
+If
+you
+want
+to
+write
+a
+book
+you
+have
+to
+look
+up
+data
+here
+and
+there
+and
+go
+to
+the
+library
+to
+find
+some
+book
+that
+contains
+what
+you
+wish
+to
+know
+You
+may
+have
+to
+go
+from
+one
+place
+to
+another
+and
+yet
+not
+find
+it
+It
+all
+takes
+time
+and
+time
+is
+limited
+You
+are
+hindered
+In
+the
+spirit
+world
+if
+we
+want
+data
+on
+a
+certain
+thing
+we
+think
+of
+it
+and
+it
+is
+all
+before
+us
+There
+is
+no
+time
+no
+matter
+to
+hinder
+In

+if
+we
+want
+earthly
+experience
+do
+you
+think
+we
+have
+to
+reincarnate
+to
+get
+that
+experience
+No
+we
+do
+not
+For
+illustration
+say
+one
+wants
+to
+know
+more
+about
+medicine
+He
+then
+goes
+to
+a
+school
+as
+a
+student
+hears
+everything
+sees
+everything
+and
+comes
+in
+contact
+with
+everything
+learning
+it
+much
+quicker
+than
+he
+could
+grasp
+it
+on
+earth
+and
+he
+has
+it
+much
+clearer
+in
+his
+mind
+In
+earth
+life
+you
+have
+to
+study
+for
+years
+and
+then
+you
+do
+not
+get
+it
+as
+clearly
+as
+we
+do
+Suppose
+you
+want
+experience
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+with
+machinery
+or
+anything
+else
+you
+can
+get
+it
+easily
+We
+have
+everything
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+because
+everything
+that
+is
+invented
+on
+earth
+has
+first
+been
+invented
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+Suppose
+an
+inventor
+passes
+on
+before
+completion
+of
+his
+invention
+He
+will
+not
+give
+it
+up
+He
+studies
+it
+on
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+because
+it
+is
+easier
+to
+study
+there
+as
+he
+has
+more
+time
+When
+he
+has
+everything
+ready
+he
+finds
+some
+sensitive
+and
+impresses
+the
+invention
+on
+his
+mind
+Then
+that
+one
+commences
+on
+it
+perfects
+it
+and
+gives
+it
+to
+the
+world
+If
+I
+impress
+a
+sensitive
+with
+an
+idea
+in
+one
+sense
+I
+reincarnate
+not
+in
+his
+body
+but
+by
+impressing
+him
+with
+what
+I
+want
+done
+In
+this
+way
+we
+come
+and
+go
+if
+we
+are
+attracted
+to
+earth
+life
+and
+want
+to
+be
+here
+When
+you
+have
+once
+reached
+the
+spirit
+world
+where
+all
+are
+congenial
+where
+all
+is
+life
+where
+all
+is
+bliss
+where
+there
+is
+no
+jealousy
+no
+envy
+where
+all
+is
+one
+grand
+harmony
+do
+you
+think
+for
+one
+moment
+that
+you
+would
+want
+to
+leave
+that
+beautiful
+condition
+to
+come
+back
+to
+earth
+and
+be
+a
+little
+baby
+restricted
+in
+mind
+and
+knowing
+nothing
+nothing
+whatever
+Furthermore
+you
+might
+get
+into
+a
+sickly
+crippled
+body
+and
+be
+worse
+than
+you
+were
+before
+No
+reincarnation
+is
+not
+true
+I
+believed
+it
+I
+taught
+it
+and
+I
+was
+sure
+that
+I
+should
+come
+back
+and
+be
+somebody
+else
+But
+I
+will
+not
+I
+can
+do
+far
+more
+good
+now
+If
+I
+want
+to
+do
+some
+missionary
+work
+or
+some
+good
+I
+go
+down
+to
+the
+earth
+sphere
+the
+earthbound
+sphere
+where
+the
+spirits
+are
+in
+all
+kinds
+of
+misery
+I
+preach
+to
+them
+and
+teach
+them
+I
+try
+to
+rescue
+them
+So
+I
+find
+my
+work
+Why
+should
+we
+go
+down
+from
+the
+harmony
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+to
+what
+I
+might
+call
+hell
+Here
+we
+have
+one
+group
+singing
+and
+praying
+and
+praising
+God
+from
+early
+morning
+until
+night
+and
+they
+are
+so
+selfhypnotized
+that
+we
+cannot
+talk
+to
+them
+We
+go
+to
+another
+group
+and
+there
+we
+find
+the
+misers
+They
+are
+so
+busy
+counting
+money
+money
+which
+is
+their
+God
+that
+we
+cannot
+reach
+them
+We
+go
+to
+others
+who
+have
+been
+ruined
+in
+life
+they
+are
+bitter
+and
+jealous
+they
+have
+nothing
+but
+revenge
+in
+their
+minds
+They
+have
+no
+love
+or
+kindness
+They
+are
+like
+sponges
+which
+have
+been
+dipped
+in
+muddy
+water
+you
+would
+not
+even
+know
+they
+were
+sponges
+Their
+love
+has
+turned
+to
+hate
+and
+they
+cannot
+be
+taught
+love
+and
+kindness
+They
+will
+spit
+at
+you
+they
+will
+laugh
+at
+you
+for
+they
+feel
+that
+there
+is
+no
+God
+no
+kindness
+no
+love
+but
+all
+is
+jealousy
+and
+selfishness
+But
+we
+are
+not
+disappointed
+our
+mission
+is
+to
+turn
+these
+souls
+to
+better
+things
+We
+may
+have
+a
+hard
+time
+We
+cannot
+go
+there
+and
+pray
+for
+them
+no
+no
+They
+would
+shut
+the
+door
+and
+say
+they
+did
+not
+want
+us
+and
+so
+we
+cannot
+go
+there
+and
+talk
+and
+lecture
+You
+may
+ask
+how
+it
+is
+possible
+to
+reach
+them
+First
+we
+try
+to
+concentrate
+on
+them
+Then
+we
+have
+music
+Sometimes
+we
+have
+to
+play
+very
+softly
+so
+they
+can
+hardly
+hear
+it
+then
+we
+play
+a
+little
+louder
+No
+matter
+how
+evil
+how
+mean
+how
+low
+souls
+have
+been
+they
+will
+listen
+to
+music
+When
+they
+have
+given
+their
+attention
+to
+the
+music
+we
+concentrate
+on
+them
+to
+waken
+and
+look
+up
+to
+higher
+things
+Artists
+then
+paint
+pictures
+of
+the
+higher
+life
+for
+them
+object
+lessons
+little
+stories
+Their
+life
+history
+can
+be
+seen
+by
+us
+and
+we
+put
+this
+in
+pictures
+one
+by
+one
+and
+let
+them
+see
+the
+mistakes
+they
+have
+made
+Presently
+they
+ask
+questions
+and
+then
+we
+come
+a
+little
+closer
+to
+them
+After
+that
+we
+take
+them
+to
+the
+higher
+life
+In
+another
+group
+are
+those
+who
+are
+self
+hypnotized
+They
+have
+gone
+to
+sleep
+They
+were
+taught
+that
+death
+is
+a
+sleep
+and
+that
+they
+will
+sleep
+until
+the
+Last
+Day
+when
+God
+will
+sit
+on
+His
+throne
+and
+judge
+them
+They
+are
+difficult
+to
+reach
+especially
+if
+they
+have
+put
+themselves
+into
+an
+actual
+death
+sleep
+Sometimes
+we
+have
+to
+bring
+them
+to
+control
+a
+medium
+and
+waken
+them
+in
+that
+way
+When
+we
+cannot
+reach

+hearts
+of
+my
+friends
+is
+great
+happiness
+The
+reunion
+that
+they
+had
+for
+me
+at
+the
+time
+I
+passed
+out
+and
+came
+to
+an
+understanding
+of
+life
+can
+never
+be
+described
+Many
+of
+my
+friends
+I
+met
+later
+and
+I
+have
+been
+helping
+to
+waken
+them
+to
+the
+glory
+of
+understanding
+Let
+us
+not
+believe
+but
+let
+us
+act
+Let
+us
+all
+do
+our
+duty
+while
+we
+are
+here
+and
+let
+us
+understand
+the
+wonders
+of
+Nature
+and
+the
+wonders
+of
+God
+We
+could
+not
+worship
+more
+than
+God
+for
+God
+is
+everything
+You
+are
+one
+part
+of
+His
+grand
+work
+the
+flowers
+are
+another
+part
+of
+His
+grand
+work
+the
+animals
+another
+part
+so
+how
+could
+you
+be
+outside
+God
+Why
+should
+you
+not
+worship
+His
+manifestations
+in
+every
+way
+You
+are
+in
+the
+very
+midst
+of
+Him
+When
+you
+are
+one
+with
+God
+you
+have
+great
+glory
+I
+want
+to
+say
+Hallelujah
+A
+favorite
+expression
+in
+earth
+life
+That
+is
+grand
+that
+is
+beautiful
+This
+is
+a
+step
+every
+one
+has
+to
+take
+every
+one
+has
+to
+pass
+through
+this
+I
+learned
+my
+first
+step
+in
+a
+few
+months
+When
+I
+woke
+up
+from
+the
+sleep
+of
+death
+we
+call
+it
+a
+sleep
+of
+transition
+I
+was
+really
+awake
+I
+had
+understanding
+I
+was
+told
+about
+the
+grand
+things
+in
+spirit
+but
+I
+never
+could
+have
+imagined
+it
+as
+grand
+as
+I
+found
+it
+Let
+us
+visit
+the
+churches
+of
+the
+earth
+sphere
+the
+place
+of
+the
+spirits
+who
+pass
+out
+with
+religious
+belief
+and
+dogma
+These
+gather
+in
+a
+group
+and
+do
+not
+try
+to
+waken
+to
+the
+realization
+that
+they
+are
+still
+sleeping
+spiritually
+because
+they
+have
+never
+asked
+Who
+am
+I
+Where
+did
+I
+come
+from
+Where
+do
+I
+go
+Where
+is
+the
+real
+life
+They
+are
+self
+hypnotized
+by
+their
+belief
+in
+Jesus
+Christ
+and
+in
+God
+sitting
+on
+a
+throne
+with
+Christ
+at
+His
+right
+side
+judging
+the
+people
+good
+and
+bad
+Some
+they
+think
+have
+to
+go
+to
+a
+burning
+hell
+and
+some
+will
+go
+in
+glory
+to
+God
+in
+Heaven
+That
+is
+the
+belief
+they
+have
+and
+although
+dead
+the
+majority
+of
+those
+who
+only
+believe
+are
+still
+on
+earth
+going
+to
+church
+They
+want
+to
+be
+on
+earth
+singing
+the
+same
+songs
+and
+praying
+the
+same
+prayers
+They
+think
+that
+all
+they
+have
+to
+do
+is
+to
+sing
+and
+pray
+Many
+do
+not
+know
+they
+have
+passed
+out
+They
+do
+not
+even
+stop
+to
+think
+that
+their
+relatives
+and
+friends
+do
+not
+talk
+to
+them
+as
+they
+did
+formerly
+We
+have
+a
+very
+hard
+time
+to
+reach
+them
+Some
+sing
+and
+pray
+others
+walk
+alone
+trying
+to
+find
+out
+what
+is
+the
+matter
+at
+other
+times
+they
+become
+attached
+to
+mortals
+and
+hypnotize
+them
+so
+by
+their
+belief
+that
+the
+mortals
+become
+obsessed
+and
+are
+sent
+to
+the
+asylum
+for
+religious
+mania
+It
+is
+a
+great
+pity
+that
+men
+cannot
+understand
+God
+When
+they
+have
+that
+understanding
+they
+cannot
+live
+for
+themselves
+they
+will
+want
+to
+work
+for
+others
+and
+give
+every
+one
+of
+their
+happiness
+I
+have
+still
+to
+see
+the
+depth
+of
+misery
+to
+which
+the
+wretched
+ones
+go
+because
+of
+hate
+and
+selfishness
+These
+hate
+all
+humanity
+That
+is
+the
+worst
+condition
+They
+are
+so
+crippled
+that
+you
+can
+hardly
+believe
+they
+are
+persons
+They
+have
+to
+be
+taught
+to
+realize
+but
+how
+can
+they
+be
+reached
+They
+are
+afraid
+of
+themselves
+and
+they
+have
+to
+remain
+in
+that
+condition
+until
+they
+pray
+in
+all
+earnestness
+to
+be
+freed
+I
+have
+learned
+this
+in
+the
+few
+months
+I
+have
+been
+on
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+I
+have
+a
+very
+nice
+home
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+I
+have
+my
+relatives
+and
+friends
+but
+everything
+is
+very
+different
+here
+from
+there
+I
+have
+to
+help
+many
+of
+my
+friends
+because
+even
+though
+some
+passed
+out
+long
+before
+I
+they
+are
+still
+in
+darkness
+regarding
+an
+understanding
+of
+the
+real
+life
+The
+teaching
+of
+children
+should
+be
+very
+different
+from
+what
+it
+is
+Children
+should
+be
+taught
+about
+God
+in
+Nature
+taught
+that
+God
+is
+Love
+If
+they
+were
+properly
+taught
+you
+would
+not
+have
+any
+crime
+They
+would
+love
+Nature
+they
+would
+love
+animals
+they
+would
+love
+humanity
+at
+large
+But
+they
+are
+taught
+not
+to
+worship
+Nature
+How
+could
+you
+worship
+God
+more
+beautifully
+than
+to
+worship
+Him
+through
+His
+manifestation
+I
+am
+glad
+to
+be
+with
+you
+tonight
+and
+I
+want
+you
+all
+to
+go
+on
+with
+your
+work
+If
+you
+could
+only
+see
+every
+evening
+when
+you
+have
+your
+meeting
+how
+many
+crippled
+and
+unfortunate
+spirits
+listen
+and
+try
+to
+get
+help
+so
+they
+can
+pass
+into
+the
+life
+beyond
+Humanity
+should
+rouse
+itself
+and
+not
+send
+so
+many
+ignorant
+spirits
+to
+the
+other
+side
+because
+these
+only
+stay
+near
+the
+earth
+and
+do
+harm
+to
+those
+who
+are
+here
+on
+earth
+Humanity
+will
+have
+a
+difficult
+time
+for
+a
+little
+while
+because
+of
+crime
+and
+selfishness
+All
+that
+people
+live
+for
+now
+is
+money
+and
+self
+They
+will
+have
+to
+change
+their
+viewpoint
+some
+time
+Then
+peace
+will
+go
+over
+the
+earth
+Now
+it
+is
+war
+war
+with
+everybody
+but
+when
+peace
+and
+harmony
+prevail
+you
+will
+find
+a
+glorious
+condition
+I
+say
+Hallelujah
+Let
+that
+time
+come
+as
+quickly
+as
+possible
+Just
+now
+it
+is
+fighting
+and
+laws
+Unless
+this
+is
+changed
+people
+will
+rise
+because
+they
+want
+freedom
+but
+God
+speed
+the
+day
+when
+the
+peace
+spirit
+will
+come
+over
+all
+Frank
+is
+a
+good
+fellow
+to
+be
+with
+and
+he
+is
+not
+afraid
+to
+make
+inquiries
+At
+times
+I
+feel
+like
+saying
+No
+I
+can
+t
+do
+that
+but
+he
+says
+there
+is
+nothing
+which
+can
+harm
+you
+if
+you
+are
+not
+afraid
+Fear
+is
+what
+we
+must
+avoid
+we
+must
+develop
+power
+When
+you
+develop
+fear
+you
+create
+conditions
+of
+fear
+around
+you
+You
+should
+develop
+within
+yourself
+the
+power
+of
+God
+the
+power
+to
+conquer
+the
+power
+of
+Love
+Then
+you
+will
+conquer
+no
+matter
+what
+comes
+I
+wish
+you
+could
+all
+understand
+God
+not
+as
+a
+person
+but
+as
+the
+Life
+of
+the
+whole
+Universe
+and
+realize
+that
+there
+is
+no
+life
+without
+God
+He
+is
+the
+Divine
+in
+everything
+but
+we
+are
+clothed
+with
+selfishness
+jealousy
+and
+ignorance
+If
+you
+are
+troubled
+by
+obsession
+say
+to
+yourself
+I
+am
+master
+over
+my
+own
+body
+and
+I
+shall
+be
+Repeat
+it
+over
+and
+over

+and
+you
+will
+find
+that
+you
+have
+power
+Do
+not
+send
+out
+thoughts
+of
+evil
+because
+they
+only
+hinder
+your
+own
+self
+They
+create
+more
+thoughts
+of
+anger
+and
+you
+will
+not
+have
+gained
+anything
+Develop
+within
+yourself
+power
+and

+to
+conquer
+Say
+to
+yourself

+Do

+Sadness

+I
+am
+heart
+and
+soul
+in
+this
+work
+I
+was
+in
+this
+work
+when
+in
+life
+not
+so
+much
+doing
+the
+obsession
+work
+as
+does
+Doctor
+but
+I
+was
+in
+the
+work
+of
+spreading
+the
+truth
+that
+there
+is
+a
+life
+after
+this
+It
+is
+a
+real
+life
+not
+an
+imaginary
+one
+it
+is
+a
+life
+of
+understanding
+not
+a
+life
+of
+belief
+If
+you
+only
+believe
+you
+will
+be
+in
+darkness
+with
+a
+closed
+door
+because
+you
+have
+only
+belief
+not
+knowledge
+of
+the
+other
+world
+The
+Bible
+teaches
+so
+much
+and
+if
+people
+would
+only
+understand
+it
+as
+it
+was
+really
+meant
+not
+take
+it
+literally
+or
+historically
+it
+would
+be
+so
+much
+better
+You
+must
+understand
+that
+at
+the
+time
+the
+Bible
+was
+written
+the
+people
+were
+not
+as
+enlightened
+as
+they
+are
+today
+and
+there
+was
+so
+much
+selfishness
+When
+the
+first
+church
+was
+formed
+it
+was
+the
+church
+of
+the
+understanding
+of
+life
+and
+the
+teaching
+was
+to
+live
+for
+high
+thoughts
+and
+to
+sacrifice
+self
+for
+others
+When
+you
+study
+and
+study
+deeply
+earth
+conditions
+have
+no
+existence
+for
+you
+Religion
+is
+often
+used
+as
+a
+whip
+for
+ignorant
+people
+The
+leaders
+say
+We
+want
+these
+people
+to
+obey
+us
+we
+want
+them
+to
+do
+as
+we
+tell
+them
+to
+do
+we
+want
+them
+to
+be
+slaves
+Look
+back
+in
+history
+and
+you
+will
+find
+that
+people
+were
+easygoing
+very
+lazy
+did
+not
+care
+they
+did
+not
+care
+to
+do
+anything
+The
+women
+were
+the
+ones
+who
+did
+the
+work
+they
+did
+the
+farming
+for
+the
+men
+were
+too
+lazy
+The
+women
+had
+to
+do
+the
+work
+and
+be
+the
+slaves
+Then
+along
+came
+a
+shrewd
+man
+who
+thought
+We
+will
+make
+these
+men
+work
+and
+the
+leaders
+got
+up
+a
+scheme
+to
+scare
+people
+They
+told
+them
+that
+if
+they
+did
+not
+do
+so
+and
+so
+the
+devil
+would
+get
+hold
+of
+them
+when
+they
+die
+and
+they
+would
+go
+to
+hell
+and
+damnation
+Then
+they
+painted
+hell
+in
+the
+worst
+condition
+they
+could
+They
+painted
+it
+as
+a
+big
+oven
+burning
+There
+were
+skeletons
+here
+and
+there
+and
+hot
+fire
+and
+the
+one
+that
+put
+people
+in
+the
+fire
+was
+the
+devil
+and
+he
+put
+them
+in
+with
+his
+pitchfork
+That
+made
+the
+men
+wake
+up
+That
+picture
+gave
+them
+energy
+strength
+and
+power
+They
+were
+afraid
+afraid
+they
+would
+get
+into
+that
+hell
+when
+they
+died
+Humanity
+tried
+to
+do
+everything
+possible
+to
+escape
+that
+hell
+and
+the
+leaders
+were
+able
+to
+make
+the
+people
+do
+whatever
+they
+told
+them
+One
+conceived
+the
+idea
+that
+he
+wanted
+to
+be
+leader
+then
+another
+wanted
+to
+be
+the
+leader
+but
+how
+could
+both
+be
+leaders
+in
+one
+circle
+Then
+another
+conceived
+the
+idea
+that
+religion
+would
+be
+better
+if
+he
+had
+a
+little
+clique
+of
+his
+own
+so
+he
+preached
+in
+his
+way
+and
+called
+it
+whatever
+he
+pleased
+Along
+came
+another
+and
+he
+had
+his
+idea
+because
+he
+wanted
+to
+be
+leader
+so
+he
+gathered
+some
+people
+into
+his
+corner
+and
+preached
+in
+his
+way
+So
+we
+had
+one
+group
+here
+and
+another
+there
+One
+wanted
+to
+rule
+the
+world
+but
+along
+came
+another
+sect
+and
+they
+called
+themselves
+by
+a
+new
+name
+and
+felt
+they
+wanted
+to
+rule
+They
+fought
+and
+had
+wars
+Then
+followed
+other
+religions
+and
+all
+had
+adherents
+Each
+tried
+to
+be
+a
+greater
+leader
+than
+the
+other
+Some
+were
+more
+crabbed
+but
+all
+tried
+to
+get
+the
+people
+together
+and
+hold
+them
+some
+by
+the
+picture
+I
+spoke
+of
+regarding
+hell
+They
+could
+not
+get
+them
+together
+much
+in
+the
+beginning
+unless
+they
+held
+them
+in
+bondage
+That
+has
+gone
+on
+for
+years
+and
+years
+but
+now
+there
+has
+come
+a
+new
+era
+and
+all
+will
+be
+at
+least
+partially
+broken
+up
+There
+will
+be
+a
+different
+condition
+Nowadays
+some
+of
+the
+people
+believe
+and
+some
+do
+not
+and
+some
+think
+they
+do
+not
+want
+to
+have
+anything
+to
+do
+with
+religion
+and
+so
+we
+have
+a
+state
+of
+turmoil
+They
+are
+all
+fighting
+and
+fighting
+Each
+one
+fights
+to
+see
+if
+he
+cannot
+get
+the
+best
+of
+others
+The
+idea
+is
+to
+get
+all
+the
+money
+you
+can
+all
+the
+power
+you
+can
+and
+then
+be
+the
+leader
+People
+want
+to
+get
+all
+they
+can
+now
+as
+this
+is
+the
+time
+to
+make
+money
+and
+they
+say
+they
+will
+make
+it
+regardless
+of
+the
+method
+They
+have
+become
+so
+selfish
+in
+their
+money
+making
+that
+their
+true
+citizenship
+is
+lost
+Things
+are
+very
+different
+now
+from
+what
+they
+were
+when
+I
+was
+a
+boy
+It
+will
+be
+very
+hard
+for
+some
+time
+because
+capital
+wants
+to
+rule
+and
+labor
+wants
+to
+rule
+so
+we
+have
+friction
+and
+trouble
+The
+churches
+are
+trying
+to
+make
+people
+go
+to
+church
+but
+if
+they
+continue
+to
+keep
+people
+down
+there
+will
+in
+time
+be
+a
+war
+that
+will
+be
+terrible
+because
+holding
+people
+down
+kills
+the
+better
+nature
+in
+them
+People
+get
+all
+they
+can
+from
+each
+other
+The
+spirit
+of
+the
+day
+is
+to
+get
+all
+you
+can
+no
+matter
+how
+you
+get
+it
+When
+I
+lived
+on
+this
+earth
+plane
+it
+was
+an
+honor
+to
+do
+your
+work
+well
+and
+to
+be
+faithful
+to
+your
+employer
+Now
+if
+the
+employer
+does
+not
+like
+your
+work
+he
+can
+easily
+get
+another
+man
+to
+take
+your
+place
+How
+can
+you
+expect
+such
+people
+to
+feel
+right
+when
+they
+pass
+out
+of
+their
+bodies
+They
+leave
+their
+bodies
+and
+take
+possession
+of
+any
+one
+they
+can
+reach
+on
+the
+earth
+plane
+and
+therefore
+we
+have
+insanity
+and
+all
+kinds
+of
+suicides
+They
+had
+war
+for
+four
+years
+and
+killed
+thousands
+and
+thousands
+of
+people
+These
+left
+the
+world
+they
+loved
+filled
+with
+hatred
+and
+they
+come
+back
+and
+try
+to
+crush
+this
+world
+The
+time
+will
+come
+when
+conditions
+will
+be
+very
+serious
+but
+after
+that
+things
+will
+be
+better
+People
+will
+reach
+a
+better
+understanding
+and
+will
+learn
+through
+sorrows
+and
+try
+to
+comprehend
+the
+mystery
+of
+life
+There
+will
+be
+great
+inventions
+which
+will
+be
+remarkable
+At
+this
+time
+people
+are
+being
+crushed
+but
+after
+a
+while
+there
+will
+be
+an
+awakening
+It
+is
+said
+The
+mills
+of
+the
+gods
+grind
+slowly
+but
+they
+grind
+exceeding
+fine
+and
+that
+is
+what
+the
+world
+is
+going
+through
+now
+The
+time
+will
+come
+when
+people
+will
+know
+that
+we
+are
+not
+dead
+when
+we
+pass
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+but
+that
+we
+live
+We
+are
+trying
+to
+help
+and
+guide
+you
+all
+and
+we
+hope
+to
+have
+more
+sincerity
+among
+the
+people
+Death
+will
+only
+be
+like
+a
+journey
+which
+they
+take
+to
+another
+country
+where
+they
+will
+be
+with
+their
+loved
+ones
+if
+they
+have
+understanding
+You
+have
+flying
+machines
+now
+but
+after
+a
+few
+years
+you
+will
+have
+air
+inventions
+that
+are
+not
+dreamed
+of
+at
+this
+time
+This
+is
+only
+the
+beginning
+You
+will
+use
+more
+electricity
+and
+atmospheric
+conditions
+will
+be
+used
+as
+power
+You
+will
+get
+power
+from
+the
+sun
+which
+will
+be
+of
+great
+benefit
+to
+humanity
+then
+the
+capitalists
+cannot
+buy
+things
+as
+they
+do
+now
+They
+crush
+the
+poor
+people
+now
+because
+they
+can
+buy
+everything
+and
+the
+others
+cannot
+have
+it
+They
+say
+God
+did
+not
+give
+it
+to
+you
+He
+gave
+it
+to
+me
+Machinery
+will
+run
+by
+that
+power
+Any
+one
+with
+a
+little
+instruction
+will
+be
+able
+to
+use
+it
+and
+can
+take
+all
+the
+power
+he
+wants
+from
+the
+atmosphere
+Selfishness
+will
+then
+be
+done
+away
+with
+and
+people
+will
+learn
+to
+live
+and
+love
+as
+Christ
+taught
+them
+They
+will
+not
+live
+a
+life
+of
+belief
+as
+they
+have
+during
+the
+past
+centuries
+In
+the
+future
+people
+will
+know
+that
+if
+they
+do
+not
+do
+right
+they
+will
+suffer
+for
+it
+They
+have
+already
+taken
+away
+most
+of
+the
+pictures
+of
+burning
+hell
+and
+therefore
+the
+churches
+no
+longer
+have
+the
+control
+of
+the
+people
+they
+had
+in
+the
+past
+When
+ministers
+teach
+the
+truth
+regarding
+the
+life
+after
+this
+they
+will
+have
+their
+churches
+full
+People
+will
+then
+go
+to
+church
+to
+worship
+and
+will
+not
+only
+believe
+We
+all
+make
+mistakes
+and
+we
+should
+learn
+through
+those
+mistakes
+God
+wants
+us
+to
+be
+wise
+and
+understand
+Him
+It
+is
+not
+that
+God
+made
+a
+mistake
+and
+did
+not
+know
+what
+He
+was
+doing
+He
+has
+given
+you
+power
+you
+are
+a
+part
+of

+and
+after

+learn
+to

+God
+in
+all
+His
+wonders
+you
+will
+be
+in
+the
+happy
+state
+that
+we
+call
+Bliss
+and
+that
+is
+Heaven
+You
+have
+to

+should

+Always

+Let
+us

+conquer

+and
+put

+If

+people
+would
+understand
+what
+love
+means
+They
+talk
+it
+with
+their

+but
+they
+never
+practice
+it
+I
+had
+a
+very
+hard

+They

+we
+go

+will
+sit

+taught

+Many

+Mrs

+intimate
+friend
+Mrs

+whose
+little
+girl
+at
+the
+age
+of
+two
+and
+a
+half
+became
+an
+imbecile
+after
+one
+sudden
+convulsion
+The
+mother
+was
+convinced
+that
+this
+condition
+was
+caused
+by
+spirit
+obsession
+and
+together
+with
+Mrs
+Wickland
+began
+to
+investigate
+the
+subject
+Mrs
+Lackmund
+and
+Mrs
+Wickland
+had
+made
+an
+agreement
+that
+whichever
+one
+of
+them
+should
+first
+pass
+to
+the
+spirit
+side
+of
+life
+would
+try
+to

+saying

+A

+two

+appeared

+Mrs

+so

+do

+grow
+among

+of

+The
+green
+leaves
+take
+from

+what

+takes
+what

+When

+you

+go

+tries

+you
+must
+every

+Humanity

+Insanity

+and
+because
+a
+youthful
+spirit
+brings
+to
+a
+psychic
+a
+feeling
+of
+youth
+and
+strength
+It
+is
+often
+asked
+why
+mediums
+usually
+have
+children
+or
+young
+people
+as
+guides
+When
+a
+spirit
+who
+has
+lived
+to

+acts

+magnetism
+For
+this
+reason
+many

+have

+as

+Then
+also
+the
+children
+learn
+earthly
+conditions
+and
+through
+this
+experience
+progress
+in
+the
+spirit
+world
+They
+do
+not
+need
+to
+reincarnate
+because
+they
+gain
+earth
+experience
+through
+contact
+with
+mortals
+Advanced
+spirits
+say
+such
+as
+Abraham

+do
+not

+If

+such

+In

+instances
+the
+medium
+often
+thinks
+the
+advanced
+spirit
+is
+his
+guide
+But
+a
+spirit
+like
+Lincoln
+is
+a
+guide
+to
+no

+he

+to
+return

+If
+mediums
+are
+in

+they
+may

+repeat
+lectures
+given
+in

+but
+they
+are
+only
+receiving

+are
+speaking
+inspirationally
+The
+first
+time
+I
+controlled
+Mrs

+I
+thought
+I
+had
+come

+again
+I
+acted
+as

+girl
+of

+with
+no

+I
+was
+very
+jolly
+and
+boisterous
+and
+the
+people
+in
+the
+circle
+told
+me
+if
+I
+did
+not
+behave
+myself
+I
+could
+not
+come
+again
+So
+I
+tried
+to
+behave
+and
+do
+my
+very

+I
+wanted

+learn
+so
+that
+after

+first
+developed

+she
+also
+studied
+Theosophy
+Christian
+Science

+Psychology
+She
+questioned
+whether
+during

+trance
+condition
+a
+spirit
+was
+actually
+speaking
+or
+whether
+it
+was
+her
+own
+subconscious
+mind
+Wishing
+to
+learn
+the
+facts
+she
+took
+up
+the
+study
+of
+Astrology
+and
+had
+Dr
+Wickland
+ask
+me
+what
+my
+birth
+date
+birth
+place
+general
+appearance
+last
+sickness
+and
+date
+of
+death
+were
+Then
+Mrs
+Wickland
+cast

+horoscope
+which
+indicated
+that
+a

+born
+on
+the
+date
+given
+would
+have
+light

+by

+There
+are
+many
+with

+who
+do
+not

+they
+are
+dead
+they
+go
+about
+preaching
+and

+because
+they
+have
+not
+found
+Jesus
+and
+they
+gather
+around
+the
+churches
+on

+and
+continue
+to
+sing
+and
+pray
+There
+may
+be
+persons
+in
+the
+churches
+who
+are
+sensitives
+or
+of

+some
+of

+Other

+they
+hypnotize
+or
+obsess
+sensitive

+and
+influence
+them
+to
+commit
+murder

+Often
+a

+knows
+nothing
+about
+the
+crime
+of
+which

+such
+as
+the

+to

+The
+person
+who
+is
+executed
+goes
+out
+of
+earth
+life
+filled
+with
+hatred
+and
+comes
+back
+for
+revenge
+impressing
+others
+to
+kill
+or
+commit
+suicide
+The
+judges
+and
+lawyers
+should
+ascertain
+whether
+the
+accused
+person
+is
+actually
+guilty
+or
+influenced
+by
+some
+revengeful
+spirit
+who
+has

+Jesus

+Instead
+of
+condemning
+criminals
+the
+judges
+the
+lawyers

+teach

+If

+people

+they

+Many

+The

+but
+back

+When

+we

+We

+of

+the

+Different

+in

+Some

+do

+because
+they
+have
+not
+had
+much
+schooling
+but
+they
+have
+true
+love
+for
+The
+Great
+Spirit
+and
+a
+true
+love
+for
+helping
+others
+Of
+course
+there
+are
+evil
+Indians
+as
+well
+as
+good
+Indians
+but
+the
+bad
+ones
+are
+only
+those
+who
+have
+no
+understanding
+of
+The
+Great
+Spirit
+and
+most
+of
+their
+bad
+habits
+are
+acquired
+from
+the
+pale
+faces
+Before
+the
+pale
+faces
+came
+to
+America
+there
+was
+no
+fear
+among
+the
+Indians
+The
+Indians
+of
+different
+tribes
+fought
+with
+each
+other
+but
+were
+fearless
+Then
+the
+pale
+faces
+came
+and
+hunted
+them
+down
+like
+animals
+Fear
+and
+anger
+crept
+into
+the
+hearts
+of
+the
+Indians
+and
+then
+came
+trouble
+and
+war
+Many
+pale
+faces
+wanted
+Indian
+land
+and
+some
+stole
+the
+land
+from
+the
+Indians
+and
+then
+the
+Indians
+got
+angry
+and
+fought
+They
+thought
+all
+the
+pale
+faces
+were
+the
+same
+and
+then
+came
+trouble
+If
+the
+pale
+faces
+had
+treated
+the
+Indians
+kindly
+in
+the
+beginning
+they
+would
+never
+have
+had

+Treat
+an

+with

+The

+They
+do
+not

+the
+pale

+often
+do
+pray
+with
+the

+and
+only
+talk
+They
+say
+little
+but
+dance
+around
+in
+a
+big
+circle
+and
+concentrate
+Sometimes
+they
+have
+a
+Snake
+Dance
+They
+have
+learned
+to
+charm
+snakes
+so
+they
+will
+not
+bite
+because
+the
+Indians
+have
+no
+fear
+If
+the
+pale
+faces
+would
+overcome
+fear
+they
+could
+do
+wonderful
+things
+In
+olden
+times
+the
+pale
+faces
+had
+no
+fear
+but
+they
+were
+scared
+by
+the
+stories
+of
+hell

+the

+and
+this
+fear
+grew

+the

+This

+I

+a
+Medicine
+Man
+on

+and
+I
+was
+also
+a
+teacher
+Esquimo
+Movilia
+was
+the
+one
+that
+came
+to
+me
+and
+wanted
+me
+to
+say
+to
+you
+what
+he
+wishes
+to
+say
+I
+have
+only
+repeated
+what
+he
+told

+say
+We
+have
+no

+We
+try
+to
+live
+as
+near
+Nature
+and
+the
+Great

+as
+we

+We

+and
+we
+do
+not

+so
+much

+as
+you
+do

+We
+have
+our

+Prettiness

+do
+not
+care
+The
+Christian
+has
+to
+be
+awakened
+through
+suffering
+and
+trouble
+Then
+you
+begin
+to
+look
+for
+what
+is
+called
+the
+truth
+You
+think
+that
+Jesus
+died
+for
+your
+sins
+He
+could
+not
+and
+He
+did
+not
+The
+sins
+that
+are
+committed
+now
+are
+many
+more
+than
+when
+He
+was
+on
+earth
+Many
+things
+have
+been
+discovered
+that
+were
+not
+known
+then
+so
+how
+could
+he
+die
+for
+something
+that
+was
+not
+known
+I
+think
+that
+is
+very
+strange
+God
+made
+us
+and
+He
+knew
+When
+you
+find
+God
+within
+yourself
+you
+cannot
+do
+wrong
+You
+sing
+and
+are
+happy
+and
+happiness
+is
+something
+we
+all
+want
+We
+had
+one
+man
+come
+to
+us
+and
+preach
+He
+took
+away
+with
+him
+one
+of
+the
+best
+men
+we
+had
+and
+tried
+to
+bring
+him
+up
+with
+your
+Christians
+He
+returned
+to
+us
+a
+ruined
+man
+full
+of
+diseases
+We
+do
+not
+have
+such
+diseases
+because
+we
+live
+up
+to
+the
+highest
+laws
+of
+Nature
+He
+came
+back
+and
+told
+us
+how
+you
+who
+call
+yourselves
+Christians
+live
+We
+all
+felt
+so
+horrified
+to
+know
+that
+the
+Christians
+were
+so
+diseased
+in
+mind
+and
+body
+That
+is
+what
+the
+Christians
+did
+for
+our
+fellow
+Esquimo
+So
+I
+felt
+that
+I
+wanted
+to
+come
+and
+tell
+you
+of
+our
+religion
+Let
+all
+in
+this
+little

+find
+themselves
+and
+God
+because
+you
+and
+God
+are

+Here
+is

+stands
+in

+it
+are
+smaller

+but
+they
+are
+all
+a
+part

+larger

+You
+take
+the
+smaller

+and
+light
+them
+from
+the
+big
+one
+then
+you
+have
+the

+Can
+you
+then
+understand
+what
+is
+meant
+by
+being
+a
+spark
+of
+God
+When
+you
+die
+as
+the

+call

+The

+It

+have

+these
+eleven
+parts
+without
+a

+or
+a

+in
+so
+convincing
+a

+The

+own
+account
+is
+that

+represent
+this

+before

+The

+Conclusion
+DEONSTRATIVE
+evidence
+clearly
+indicates
+that
+much
+which
+now
+seems
+mysterious
+can
+be
+brought

+by
+appropriate
+research
+The
+supernatural

+only
+the

+not

+Psychical
+research
+should
+be
+placed
+on
+a

+basis
+and
+made
+safe

+by
+eliminating

+It

+That
