Afterlife Conditions?

For My dear Son

It is a gratification to me to meet you in this way and I trust that ere long you will be able by self-development to communicate direct with us. 

That would be a real satisfaction to both you and me. It is not that I am far away.

It is condition, not distance, that makes it difficult at times for us to manifest to you. I am often with you at home but there is no way to let you know I am there. If there be anything I can do to help you in any way, call me. I can come in a subtle way assist you I feel sure.

Causation of Circumstance?

Every thought seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind and to take root there produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruit.

Introspective Journey?

Behold how clearly is revealed the meaning of the words, Man know thyself in this study of the mind! 

The study of the subjective mind is an introspective study of self, unveiling the higher self, for in the subjective world everything is contained and in the degree that we allow the higher self to manifest is every power in the being manifested. So that in reality only by recognising and thus comprehending and manifesting his perfection, his oneness with the Universal Harmony, can the man become master.

Dear William

If you would develop, or invent the lens that Dr Franklin is anxious for some mortal to do, it would enable mortals to see the spirit leaving the mortal body at decease. 

I wish this might be for the sake of doubting Thomases. 

You might be the only one to unfold this valuable lens. It means fame and fortune, of course, to the one who succeeds in bringing it out. 

I am glad to be here now.

—Truly, Spirit William. C. Riffley

Was it for Him to sin?

Was it possible for Jesus when in the body to sin?

Yes, it was possible for him to fall, but I never could discover a fault in him. It is quite a possible thing to live a sinless life. From the time I last threw down the sword, I never sinned, neither against God, nor my brother, nor myself―I did whatever my conscience allowed me to do—whatever it told me was right. Unlike others, I was greatly under spiritual influence or guidance.

What if the Sun were a grain of sand?

Let us see. 

Suppose you were to take the smallest grain of sand and drop it on the Sun, the contrast would be great indeed, but were that Sun to be dropped on the Grand Centre, it would be but as a grain of sand—All would be swallowed up within its vast embrace.
