Spiritual Helpers

Tee is much better, Sister, writes Harry, and when we all are with him you ought to see what stunts we can do. Oh, we all take deep breaths of the air up here, then spread our hands over Tee, and watch the vital current run through him.

Harry

This is Helen. Harry wasn't really strong enough to help Tee and write besides. Yes, it is queer about that, but we have a worse time trying to get words to you than we do to accomplish a tremendous amount of work over here. Harry is still a newcomer, and not entirely rhythmic yet. That only means his vibrations are jerky, which keeps him behind us when we are hastening to do some emergency work. Well, that sort of work means, as a rule, to join a circle banded together to help some sick person who hasn't run his course yet.

Do people die before their time? Yes, often; it happens to thousands. I mean people on your plane come here through accident or disease before they have built the bodies they need here.

Do you have to build your own body? Yes, you all build your future bodies, as we do our abiding places, and when one is hurled over too soon it is not comfortable.

How is that? Oh, they cannot see, maybe, or cannot hear, or perhaps are unable to move about. Yes, it is horrid, rather. That is why we all unite so readily to keep a soul in his body till we are sure he will arrive here in first-class condition.

I daresay it does seem queer to you to speak thus about the so-called dead, but we know it is very easy to arrange things here all right, and it gives us things to do while we remain on the plane near you. People come over sort of half baked, Harry says. This side of our life interests Harry very much.

Well, to go back, when our circle is complete about Tee we take deep rhythmic breaths and then expel them in unison. This creates a steady flow of vital force from us through him, and then back to us again. If we are all very much in earnest and don't let ourselves be diverted by other people who like to meddle, we can always raise the resisting power of our patient, and his own force does the repair work. Tee should not be given any sort of dope [the doctors had been giving him morphine]. It is bad in every way, and prevents our getting to his centre. It acts like a sort of smoke or cloud all about him. Harry says tell Tee to cut it out.

No, F. H. isn't here, not near us in any event. No, we don't mingle, I don't know why. Yes, people of his faith take so long to shake off beliefs that it impairs their freedom as workers in the open field. Open field means to be able to respond to any call for help, no matter on what plane. It strikes us like a bell ringing. No, not loud, but penetrating. We always gather at the call if it is in any of our harmonics. Our own people register in some harmonic of your personal tone or sound vibration. When we hear any bell tone belonging in our key we stop what we are doing and drift swiftly towards it, or let our magnetic sense carry us instead of our will. It always takes us more swiftly than anything else. When all respond to a call they recognise one another as a family group.

Those of F. H.'s faith form groups apart working for their own. F. H. is still with that group.

Isn't he beyond that yet?

No, he believes he belongs there, but later he will realise the common call as we do. Yes, they are good; it is not that which binds them close, but belief which holds them captive to a smaller area of usefulness. Help Tee now. Au revoir.

Yes, Sister, we have concluded to let Tee's brother come again, as he is so much more powerful than any of us. Of course he wants to help, but the laws are such here that he cannot unless we all make links in the chain of Tee's friends and relatives. Yes, father and all; father makes the first link. Yes, that is it, the bridge; and we act as reducers, Harry being next to Tee. There are ten of us. With a perfectly harmonious chain we can do a great deal, provided Tee helps by being relaxed in his mind; that is, feeling certain of our help. This mental attitude makes the first link strong enough to carry more vital force than it could if he were just despondent or discouraged. We must have connections all along the line, which are strong. Mental colour can harm or help to a vast degree. Mental colour is the term we use here for mood. In truth it is merely a higher or lower rate of vibration.
