Why is love the most powerful thing?

Scenery of the spheres is not so much unlike the earth, but its transcendent beauty can never be described or realised until seen with the eyes of the spirit body.

We ask do you have homes, families, societies, cities?

Spirits answer, most certainly they do, and a glorious Universe of Love with those who are drawn to them. Homes are constructed for the education and blending of all that come within the sphere of their domestic ties.

Societies associate for the advancement of knowledge.

Cities are on a different plane from earth and on a grander scale of conception, for the soul is ever reaching out in its spiritual capacity for knowledge of that which will benefit all who come within its sphere of attraction.

Spirits are not diversified by divisions of religious teachings, for all are of one mind with a full knowledge of the great Law of Love.

You find no isolated beings who are left to wander alone, but a general law that governs the whole, and all are welcome to come home where the vine and fig tree yields its fruit and there are no walls or barriers to the necessities of life.

It is a spontaneous gift to all and none lose the true condition of their soul's teaching.

None are chilled by the cold look or averted face because not understood—every thought is comprehended and drawn to those in sympathy with them. You see before you grottoes where the poet or author reclines beneath gorgeous foliage of shady trees—where cool murmuring streams and grassy lawns are decked with rarest flowers, birds warbling their glad notes of sweetness, soothing into poetic lore.

The artist reclines in some silent nook, touching the scenes, which will someday be given to earth through the hand and brain of some mortal. 

—Mary Washington in Spirit
