How Shall We Know Christ at His Coming?
By Max Heindel
This book tells us that Christ will return in an etheric, not a physical body. Hence mankind must develop the etheric body to the point where they can function in it consciously before Christ will return. Then they will possess the inner spiritual perception by which they will be able to recognize Him.
These matters are fully elucidated in this book.

Look at some of the chapter headings:
A Visit to the Invisible Planes.
A Sergeant's Experiences after “Passing out.”
A Doughboy's Ideas on Religion.

Earthbound
By Augusta Foss Heindel
An addition to our Rosicrucian Christianity Series of twenty lectures. This pamphlet warns against the craze for phenomena, mediumship, and the ouija board. It cites concrete cases where those who held too closely to things of this earth were thereby held back in their progress after leaving the earthy body and passing onward to the unseen realms of being. It points out how this condition may be avoided; also how some prolong their stay in the Borderland close to the earth.
It describes the condition of those who are bound to the lower Desire World after death by sense affiliation, sorrow, or other causes, showing clearly their delusions and their activities.
