In paragraph 6 I refer to two visions of houses in the precinct of nature. Now I refer to a third, the greatest, most beautiful and wonderful abode in the universe. This house has no interior of simple space or nothing, and again it has no outer wall of matter. It is the pristine spirit and it is in the interstellar spaces outside of the planets.
12. Conditions in the Spirit Land.
In this land there is no gravity or obstruction. What is built and placed there is free from destruction and decay. Living spirits can move by a thought and build by their desires; spirits can outstrip the earth in its flight in its orbit, can come to earth and leave at any time or part of its orbit. This is a home of joy.
13. Attributes of Spirit.
The soul is kept in our body by the magnetism of our blood. When a person goes into a trance there is an embargo on the blood and the soul can leave the spark cells of the nerve substance of the brain and occupy a spiritual body or electrical vapor in the atmosphere or ether. During sleep or failing powers of the mind, the soul is drowned out by matter, the permanent spiritual center of the spark is overflowed with matter and consciousness is temporarily turned to motion. Spirit always, in any amount, has the attributes of intelligence and power; the ether transmits intelligences.
14. Superiority of Spirit.
When our soul leaves our body it enters its own, it becomes clear and bright as in childhood; there is no fear, pain or dimness of thought and mind. We meet our friends, we remember and visit our earthly friends in the human body, we strive for their uplift and happiness, we live in happiness and peace, yet our earthly career affects our degree of spiritual advancement, and the truths which you can learn at the little country chapel and the emulation of the "SERMON ON THE MOUNT" will prove to be your "WAND OF HOPE."
15. The Pope Says the Advent of the Saviour Is Near.
In a decree of Pope Benedict sent out from Rome on January 19, 1915, he says: "Those days which Christ predicted seem in fact to have come, 'You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom'." Christ can return to earth in spirit. There is no need for Him to come otherwise. He can talk to a person adapted to receive telepathic instructions and give the world His message.
