What are the laws of the spirit?

The spirit world is peopled with a vast variety of intelligences, from the highest to the lowest, and it is a Law of Divine Life that every soul will unfold or perfect itself through the agencies of being as best it can.

—William E. Channing in Spirit

What is the souvenir of the Creator?

What is the souvenir of the Creator?

Your Soul or Spirit existed from all eternity in God’s Divine Intelligence. In the fullness of time, and in harmony with His Divine Plan, His Thought found expression in you, and you became endowed with free will and understanding. 

Divinely implanted in you is the souvenir of the Creator, and your immortal destiny persists and guides you through life’s paths.

Why is conscience important in life?

The dictates of conscience abide with everyone—it is a part of the soul and is immortal.

What makes up your conscience?

The dictates of conscience abide with everyone—it is a part of the soul and is immortal. 

Conscience is a guiding element and is the spirit shining through the material covering, which expresses the cast or mould of the mind.

A large degree of conscience makes an individual frank, generous and kind, and indicates a nature whose spirituality is largely developed.

The origin of conscience cannot be defined any more than that of the spirit—both had their origin and are governed by laws cognisant by the First Great Cause. Perverting its manifestations brings it into disrepute through subjugation to another power.

In Instructive Communications from Spirit Life, the spirit author expounds the power of conscience—

The motives by which you are governed are fluctuating and transient, but there is a monitor within, presiding with accuracy, and sitting as judge upon every act, defining the position taken long before it is acted upon.

The conscience is a hidden spring and though silent assumes such a position, as it is right and equitable for it to hold, possessing and governing your acts.

The conscience, when rightly acting and left to decide the course, which ought to be followed is replete with discretion, guiding aright, and if not violated will direct every act, according to the internal workings of the spirit. It glides with perfect power of reconciliation from one emergency to another, tranquillising by the qualities possessed within itself. Propriety and decorum are within its sphere of action. It becomes the highest gift to you, for it is a right mediator and conductor of your ever-varying course in life. It seemed necessary that there should be a guiding element within you as a part of your own being.

As God could not bestow powers upon you without conferring upon you some portion of His divinity, hence, this element of the Divine nature was implanted within you, as the implement of redemption by which you might be governed from within yourself.

Every act should be harmonious with conscience and it will surely entice from wrong when coming in contact with it, as oil is separated from water. Its natural tendency is upward through the ranks of progression—it does not stop for a mediatorial resting place, but is so inclined toward the source whence it was given that of necessity it gravitates to that condition of existence.

If you would give this part of your spiritual nature the confidence that is its due and rely upon its infallibility, not one fault would be committed without causing suffering of the penalty through a harassed and guilty feeling. Every besetting sin it disavows by causing repulsion of the inner feelings against it, and it keeps up a warfare, which to outside appearance would indicate no restraining influence—or that it was inured to the task. But it is the inner or spiritual feelings that writhe in anguish and submerge the mind in a sea of trouble analogous to hell. 

It is just as impossible to violate a spiritual law without remorse of conscience, as it is to violate a physical law without pain. 

It is no evidence of its non-existence or that it is not the prognosticator of individual acts because it does not immediately raise the masses to the high standard, which its efficiency would indicate. It only implies that its chiding voice is stifled and that it is subject to a yielding inclination to act as conditions would seem to indicate. Its voice spiritually cannot be hushed, for it is God calling upon you for better ways—it is constantly whispering in the still small voice—Come ye this way and do right—it raps for admittance at the door of your heart and is heard by yourself alone. If you turn away and do admit another guest, notwithstanding, it will rap on and will continue to do so, as long as the spirit, of which it is a part, exists.

The conscience is ever active and alive to wrongs of whatever character. It is the thinking, reflecting part and acts simultaneously with the mind. 

When grievances are borne, it records every act and vibrates through sensation, reflections long dwelt upon. When indifference to virtue shrouds the moral nature, it presents a higher position and opens a contrast between the two. When sin entices, it arrests the inclination by rebuke. When an alleviation of suffering is demanded, its power to relieve is felt by arousing feelings in sympathy with humanity. Its deep, heartfelt sympathy never loses the touch of tenderness when its chords are rightly touched. Its virtue never loses its vitality, but its susceptibility to action retains its hold upon the moral nature and chides when least expected, melting the hard, forward nature into subdued tenderness. 

Every touch of the conscience meets its full counterpart in the exalted condition it produces, and shares its renovating effects with the mind, one acting in accordance with the other.

Intrigue and deception are so averse to the conscience that it is manifested in the countenance. It permeates the feelings so effectually, working through the spiritual nature, and renders the material so transparent that the emotions of the heart are betrayed. Who can separate it from the spirit, showing each to have a distinct action of its own, involving the standing of the individual in this life and that of the spirit in the world to come? 

Every act is based upon progress and if the conscience should be violated, it intercepts the spiritual tendency of the immortal part, deadens its growth and keeps it upon a plane no farther in advance than its primal condition.

Why this mutual reciprocation if it does not belong to and is not a part of the spirit? If it is the spirit, why not rely upon its capabilities for salvation? Is the spirit not competent to work out its own grace? Is that spark of the deity not planted in you competent to hold a position worthy of its purity, holiness and godliness of purpose? 

You have all confidence in its power to complete every design and work out its own salvation if you would let its current pursue a course unmolested and not submit its highest aims to violation and abuse, constantly thwarting and uprooting its hold and claims upon the spiritual direction of the inner life.

There is a false estimate of the spirit and false assumption, concerning God who gave it. If He imparted to you a portion of Himself, He also gave that portion power to retain its Divine essence, and if you pervert its course for a time and reap the curse, becoming degenerate, it does not prove the incompetency of this Divine element to work out for itself an exceeding weight of glory.

In tendering to you salvation that must consist in the susceptibility of the spirit to good and in proportion as its manifestations are kept pure is its salvation becoming complete. There must be a capacity in you for elevation or no saving influences could be brought to bear. The question arisesWhat may it be that is thus acted upon?

If it is the mind, it is so closely connected with the conscience that you are at a loss to know how you can imbibe it and not the other. While coursing its way through the nature, there is no discernible difference—one bears testimony of the other and redemption is wrought through the instrumentality of the conscience, as much as the mind. When the evil disposed become penitent and desire better ways, it is mental sensitiveness, producing remorse of conscience that embraces the tenor of their acts and modifies the life anew. 

When the mind is brought to a full realisation of wrong, it is no hardship to adopt a proper course and let the tide of life run smooth. 

Those who are disposed to make a broad distinction between the two can test the virtue of saving grace, as brought to bear upon the heart alone, while the conscience remains shrouded in indifference.

The difference between the mind and conscience is in the superior capabilities of one for intellectual attainment, therefore, it does not comprise the mind wholly, but is its accomplice and one with it in moral pursuits. It is an office of the mind that cannot be separated and which presents the best motive where good can be done.

Atonement represents conscientious-making amends through which piety of action is increased. It is by a right use of these God-given powers that sin is overcome, and let other agencies interfere, these faculties must be alive to their work. Their object and distinct properties are to transcend evil and go back to the source whence they originated. Rapidly is this being accomplished and its course to that effect is marked by progression, commencing with God in whom it is destined to end.

Who then is to blame? God or man?

Unknowingly, you walk amid a crowd of angels who are anxiously waiting to impart a thought that may be to your and their advantage.

Why do we suffer? Is it God's fault?

Unknowingly, you walk amid a crowd of angels who are anxiously waiting to impart a thought that may be to your and their advantage.

You have on this material plane angelic guidesor influences, usually called guardian angels. They are drawn hither through sympathy and love, for the purpose of benefiting and assisting you in passing through the various changes and experiences of this material life. 

Without their assistancewithout their guardian care, we would indeed be isolated. They impart strength, giving the magnetic power from the spiritual source, which, interblending with their faculties usually called impressions, aid them in accomplishing designs and objects for the material benefit of the human race.

There are two classes or kinds of influences usually attracted to mortals. The one being cultivated ethereally, the other materially. The one divinely inspired with spiritual power, the other materially endowed with material power. The one divinely endowed can assist the material one, as well as yourself. The individual being the mentor or medium conveys the assistance or impressions imparted by the superior one to the material one.

The material influence remains with you as a protection amid physical surroundings, against accidents—calamities of any character or kind to mortals constantly standing in danger through which many escape not knowing how—always attended with a fright to the individual, which is the electric positive charge imparted to the body by this influence.

The intellectually endowed influence works for the mental unfoldment, bringing the spirit into such a condition that it can work out objects, machinery of various kinds, designs that may impart profit to others, works of art that benefit the human family, progressive intellectual ideas that unfold the spiritual nature of man, spiritualising the body, causing it to interblend with the purer moral conditions in the human system. 

Having the guardian guidance of these two opposite powers, you will readily understand why you can assist the one at the time you are being assisted yourself. 

The superior power working on your faculties mentally gives the more material power conditions to develop his own in spirit. His material pursuits toward your benefit are complied with through a law of spiritual development. He, in his undeveloped state, works out a material mission to your benefit as well as his own. He receives only a portion, as a benefit of what you receive.

If you are crude material, only inclined to the crude material, you cannot be benefitted much by the intellectual influence. It depends upon the organisation of the individual. If the organisation is devoid of sensual passions, not given to excessive use of stimulants or abuse of sexuality, of an even balanced temperament, the intellectual force can work to your benefit and to the benefit of the undeveloped influence. 

But where those passions are developed and the individual gives more attention to material things in adhering to the corrupt surroundings of material conditions, he gives the undeveloped influence all the power, stimulating his passions through yours, never feeling satiated (satisfied) with what you receive, ofttimes waiting in the dead hour of night, goading on to crime and the gratification of sensual desires. 

The mortal then is under the complete control of the undeveloped. 

He has made the conditions, having sown the seed, he will reap the harvest. The pure and divine influence must then withdraw, the will of the mortal holding him in abeyancehe cannot approach through the impure magnetism to impart assistance.

The aura of the individual co-blending with that of the undeveloped becomes material, murky and offensive. 

And not until he feels through a natural desire the necessity of working out of this condition can he again be benefitted by the pure. 

The benefit can come only by being brought in contact with purer magnetism on the material plane and through material assistance. 

The germ of his spiritual nature retains the good as well as the evil. When brought in contact with a mediumistic individual, the mediumistic individual can impart to him psychological conditions through which the superior influence can reach him again who impressing him with remorse, rousing the sympathetic nature within him, he will feel the reproach of this influence, which causes deep regret. 

Never too late to reform. 

This regret unfolds the superior nature of the spiritgives him an insight into all the errors of the past, making them repulsive to his spiritual nature, which is divine.

The evil part of the spiritual nature is material. Thus good and evil lie embedded within the nature of every individual. And it lies within the individual's character, which germ to develop. 

If the organisation is so formed that material desires are more sought for, the evil germ will be developed and overbalance the divine or spiritual, literally destroying the conditions for its unfoldment. Many there are who pass away in that sadly undeveloped state, giving the evil germ of their nature all the conditions for its purely material growth. The divine intellectual still remains, but not having had proper conditions (on account of its imperfect organisation) to develop itself, it enters spirit life with heavier burdens, consequently it remains inactive. The crude material, which it has developed for itself is consumed by the elementsthe intellectual force remains to seek another material bodyto live another physical life. If the material body or physical organisation is so organised that the purer spiritual perceptions and desires can work through, it will be assisted by the divine influencehaving opportunities more in harmony with itself, it is benefitted working out material desires, which adds largely to the growth of the spirit in identity and individuality.

This power depends largely upon the matrons of this life. 

Mothers give the organisation, the physical bodyGod or Nature gives the spiritual body.

Mortals should comprehend that they are creators. 

They create material bodies, which are the tenements of the spirit. God creates perfectly. He gives the germ of life, which is Divine intelligence. Man creates imperfectlythe majority adhering too much to sensuality, he consumes the nerve power of his system, destroying with disease the life fluid, which is essential in developing organic life. It is high time that mortals should make this a studymost of them living disappointed lives. 

No matter what their surroundings may be the spirit in its tenement feels its inability, its incapacity to work out its experiencesfeels the regret being unable to act and pursue that course,  which it was predestined to pursue before its incarnation.

Who then is to blameGod or man? 

Man and woman should learn that they must be one, working out to effect in harmony and love by observing the causes and material effects, positive and negative, in perfecting the human raceby perfecting the organisation of every child they bring into existence. 

If man and woman would study this law, working to benefit each other, they will become as one, the same as God and Nature. Father God the positive force, Mother Nature the negative power. Without Mother Nature, the creative positive could accomplish nothing. 

The positive electric force interblends with the negative magnetic power, giving the conditions to develop and produce every substance that lives upon this globe, from the mineral to the vegetable, from the vegetable to the animal, from the animal to manthe highest. 

You must remember that all must pass through changesminerals existing many million years before vegetation, vegetation existing millions of years before animals, man existed not so many years after the development of animal life.

—B. H. in Spirit

Eternity is filled with forms of all kinds, and eternity has no beginning or ending, bounds or limits.

How do spiritual communications arrive?

Most spiritual communications that reach you arrive from earthbound spirits and spirits of the first spiritual zone.

This is due entirely to the Law of Vibratory Correspondence. That law requires that in order for two organisms to respond to each other, they must vibrate at the same rate. In other words, they must be keyed to the same number of vibrations per second—must be in tune with each other.

The reason that spiritual knowledge, arriving from the first spiritual zone is unsatisfactory, and tells you nothing—or next to nothing of the spiritual world is due to the fact that the spirits of the first spiritual zone have not in a sense entered the spiritual world, but are merely preparing to enter, and are, therefore, in no position to tell you anything of the spiritual world.

The only precise knowledge of the spiritual world that is reaching you is arriving from higher spiritual zones, and is being received by a few masters and seers who have attained in human form to a remarkably high state of spiritual development. 

Most, if not all, of the communications received from the first spiritual zone have to do with the establishing of identity, and with the consolation of, and the suggestion of things to the spirits that are still in human form.

What is the mental activity necessary for spiritual communications?

There are two principal reasons why all spiritual communications are fragmentary or in pieces.

The one reason is that the communicating spirit has difficulty in repressing or slowing down its thoughts sufficiently for you to record them, and the other reason is that the recording spirit has difficulty in maintaining the intense mental activity necessary to the recording of such communications.



Why do most persons know so little of the life beyond?

There are two reasons why most persons know so little of the spiritual world and of the life beyond.

The one reason is lack of sufficient spiritual development. The other reason is lack of a sufficiently sensitive intellect with which to receive spiritual communications and knowledge.

Do what you like with that statement, dear world, for truth is more vital than anybody’s dream, even yours or mine.

Have I seen God? I have seen Him who has been called the Son of God, and you may remember that He said that whoever had seen the Son had seen the Father.

The world is all one family.

What did Jesus say about mysteries?

The time will come when mystery will no longer be mystery, and spirit will no longer be a term applied to one world more than another, for it will be known that all is spirit in truth, and that the world called the material world is as much a spiritual world, as any other, only its development is at a different place in evolution from those beyond the veil.

How can you live a healthy and fulfilled life?

The true attitude of the spirit is one of striving earnestly in the hope of reaching a higher position than that which it has attained. In perpetually progressing, it finds its truest happiness. 

And this applies not only to the fragment of existence, which we call life, but to the totality of being.

What is wise counsel in the Bible?

Moderation in all things!

What is a famous quote about moderation?

Moderation in all things!

How does God reveal himself through revelation?

God's revelation is correlative with our spiritual development and He is revealed in proportion to our capacity.

How then can God be afar off?

Remember that nothing is yours unless you take and possess. You have never known true prayer to fail. Do not cast your care upon an outside God and wait for results. God being within you, the answer is not distant from the desire. The spirit within is one with God and Christ—


What takes place when you speak from the God-centre of your being?

In the strength of your calm assurance, false vibrations are withered entirely. There is neither darkness, nor depth where God is not, and you bring the troubled spirit into touch with God instantly.

How do you send forth this God-energy?

You say to someone in trouble—I will pray for you—or you wish to help someone, say, in Australia. You know your wish is one with God's will, and you desire to bless with your whole being—


Have you ever known true prayer to fail?

Prayer is the breathing of the breath of life. It is the strongest spiritual element in all worlds.

You say to someone in trouble—I will pray for you—or you wish to help someone, say, in Australia. You know your wish is one with God's will, and you desire to bless with your whole being—

How do you send forth this God-energy?

The prayer is often sent with the false idea of great separation to a God afar off. It is never lost, but prayer of this kind enters into the vibrations most in accord with itself. Although something is done in this way, the person you wanted to help is not helped to any great extent. 

Remember, Jesus spoke to the maid alone when He entered the room, saying, Talitha cumi, and you, too, must be definite, clear, positive.

Enter into your closet, the innermost of yourself, there see the perfect will of God accomplished for your friend—this is simple faith—never see or hear anything else. Restfully, without strain, see victory in the name of Christ Jesus.

What takes place when you speak from the God-centre of your being?

In the strength of your calm assurance, false vibrations are withered entirely. There is neither darkness, nor depth, where God is not, and you bring the troubled spirit into touch with God instantly.

You cannot estimate the value of true prayer.

To spirit, it seems as if we were like children set down in a great powerhouse, not knowing the importance of the switches and electric forces around you, waiting for knowledge, yet ofttimes blind and deaf.

Your faith in God is your life and power. With true prayer, you ask what you will—

Remember that nothing is yours unless you take and possess. You have never known true prayer to fail. Do not cast your care upon an outside God and wait for results. God being within you, the answer is not distant from the desire. The spirit within is one with God and Christ—

How then can God be afar off?

Pray always—Thy Kingdom come in every heart and life. For he who knows God in his own heart and in farthest space is at one with all nations—north, south, east and west. In your love and prayer include them all.

Live in the thought of love toward all—your life will become one unceasing prayer, a constant going forth of God.

Live always, and only in the central life, dwelling on the plane of spirit—the only reality. 

Have done with shadow and illusion—

Enter into rest. Cease from time limitations. Remember your first lesson—

You always are, you always will be. Try to realise this now. Rest from your anxieties and live in the eternal. The blessing of God is with you always and forever.

What is the true religion of Christ?

The host of reformers that laboured so spiritually on earth have concentrated their magnetic forces in rapport with Christ, and now, with this new dispensation of power, the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man interblends with every soul that it may receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

He stands, as it were, in the centre of this great spiritual revolution. 

Never in the remotest antiquity do we trace such a revolution, such a spiritual change as is taking place at the present time.

Christ's mediumistic power consisted of twelve definite forms. His prophetic words are now being fulfilled—the Son of man will come again in the clouds and with more power. This is the fulfilment of those words—Verily he is in the midst of us all.

The concentrated power, consisting in magnetism conveys his influence wherever two or three are gathered together. This magnetic power is the baptism, which he gave to his disciples, called the Holy Spirit. 

Legions of angels or spirits, one and the same, are constantly going back and forth from this earth to work out the fulfilment of his prophetic words. 

Not only in Europe and America, but in the remotest parts of the earth where you would little think there was any spiritual culture, but where in fact there is greater impression made upon cultivated individuals than here in the midst of Christian civilisation.

Christ the reformer, since his entrance into spirit life, nearing the nineteenth century, has worked more faithfully, and with more efficiency by far than the preceding reformers, and why?

Simply this—the old philosophers and reformers, having acquired superior knowledge and strength united with the Pythagorean Band, of which Jesus the Nazarene is the centre, He being the latter-day martyr, having been informed after his maturity of his sufferings and death was fully resigned, for the sake of the interest and benefit it would eventually be to the human race in salvation, as the Christians term it, of the soul or spirit, but which in reality is not correctly understood.

Salvation, not consisting in the simple faith in Christ without works, but in faith with works.

Faith in realising that through his magnetic influence each mortal can be assisted in working out good deeds and noble designs.

He was a martyr. He resigned himself to every fate, suffered pain and deprivation, for the sake of truth. Prayed to get in more thorough rapport with his guides and controlling influences, fasted forty days in the wilderness to set an example by purifying his body for spiritual communion—He gained strength in spirit by abstaining from material pleasures, the outgrowth of which has become firmer and stronger up to the present day. He died for the truth.

His teachings were not understood save by the few, and those few could not convey them in an indelible form to the inhabitants of earth, consequently, the misconceived ideas, which have been drawn from the pagan schools. Throwing out portions here and there, they have as a body an indefinite conception of the great definable truth, which Christ the reformer demonstrated. However, it has not lain dormant, it has grown in spirit.

The great philosophers, the remotest reformers, having concentrated their forces are drawn towards the centre where Christ the reformer stands.

They see clearly that they cannot make the right truthful impression upon the various sects and races. They interpose their power and now harmonise with the latest reformer.

Christ the reformer is the Tree of Life. Look at the millions who are imploring him daily! See the millions of mortals invoking Allah, Omah, Jehovah, and a host of other gods!

They, too, were reformers in their day. They strove to lead minds on a higher pinnacle, but were unsuccessful. 

Buddha accomplished greater works, but owing to the ignorance and arrogance of other sects and nations, his power was interfered with and greatly impaired.

However, the more liberal spiritual philosophy still exists in the Brahmin faith. 

Those persons who are individualised powers, standing where Christ stood, working to establish the same purposes in effect have added additional branches to the trunk. 

They have concentrated their power and united themselves in harmony with Christ the Reformer. Through the development of their progressive natures, they now work upon the same plane, for the same accomplishment in power and individuality. Bands of spiritual beings are sent out from this great head or central circle, which is located in the seventh sphere, where their council is daily held.

Thoughts and expressions, influences of love and truth, are thrown off, sent hither and thither through space to the various inhabitants of earth. The more impressive mortals are sensitive to this influence.

They through respiration inhale it—they are then called mediums or instruments through whom this power is conveyed to others and attract more attention from the spiritual Universe. The great Reformer, attended by the antenatal reflections and the reformers of remoter days, sends messenger after messenger from sphere to sphere until the influences reach your earth.

This great reformatory principle will develop the true spiritual nature of man and impart the identical conditions necessary for his development, drawing him nearer toward the Infinite Creator whom they resemble in spirit.

It is through this power, when rightly applied, that the inner principle of man will unfold the sixth sense, which is dormant in the greater number of the human race.

The unfoldment or development of the sixth sense, which is purely spiritual and interblends with the higher attributes of nature, gives strength and individuality to the conceptions of the spirit and causes it to grow more potent in purity.

Consequently, through this unfoldment, the true philosophy of spiritual life will be comprehended.

—B. H. In Spirit

Where do you find the truth?

The truth is always found in life itself.

What is only an episode in your life?

Your earthly career is only an episode in your life, and in His clear vision, He knows that free will is one of His noblest gifts. It is godlike in itself. If you could understand this, you would see that nothing in your power can interfere with this God-given gift.

What are the golden gems of mysticism?

What is unseen except in its outcome?

In your world, you have the visible, physical life in all stages of development and in all formsthe rock, the flower, the animal, and the man. You have, also, mental life in all stages, from the simplest animal instinct to the most complex brain of man. 

So, in our world, we have the psychic life in all stages—that life, which may be said to be outward and visible to our psychic senses. We have, also, the spirit life, unseen except in its outcome, as it manifests itself through the psychic.

Thus, we have trees and stones, animals and manall with the same kind of life running through them, but not to the same degree.
