“This book records a continuation of the ‘talks’ already published in ‘Claude’s book,’ which described a young airman’s first impressions and experiences of life after death in the spirit-world in which he suddenly and unwillingly found himself when he was killed.” (Preface) The present volume is furnished with an introduction by Ellis Thomas Powell and some of Claude’s “talks” are: Some difficulties of mediumship; The circle of power; Ideal sitters; Spiritualism and occultism; Man’s reincarnation; Dreams; The power of mind; Spirit helpers; God—the war—the Christ-spirit; Development of personality; The prerogative of spirit; Prayer.
“In this second book of Claude’s talks with his mother, we find a considerable advance in thought. Certain chapters, such as that on prayer, would be recognized for their worth, even if they were entirely disassociated with this type of book.”
