What is the spiritual side of life?

These extracts from Wadsworth's letters sent out in Interwoven—Letters from a Son to his Mother furnish insights from the spiritual side of Life, which import the fuller, freer and richer eternal existence—

Oh—you must not miss me so. You must try to have strength, for I am not far away. I cannot go too high while you feel so alone and so tired. 

Earth is a very small part of life. There are many heavens, and always room to grow in mind and to do good. 

You may be sure God will not put me back in my career. 

He sent me on where there was a higher need and higher work for good physicians. You were always the happiest when you saw me fulfilling my purposes, and in this life, there is more glory and honour than in the little small earth. 

Let us try, dear mother, to feel that I have entered a world where there is a great duty to perform and where I can gain more honours to lay at your feet as the true son's purpose. I know we can have thought together.

I cannot earn money now, but I can earn light, and in this world, light is as money. I have seen physicians here who knew so much they were illuminated all over. This is the light of self-knowledge. 

I think the power of thought brings the earth up—or perhaps it is the foaming of the sap in the ground. The sap is like a fire and in its struggle to rise it makes a great uplifting.

Father and I have been up into many spheres—or countries, and it is the same as on earth in going from England to France or the Islands, only I notice there is a more orderly grade of being. The poets love to have a country, and the artists are sphered, and the physicians also. 

This is for the purposes of consultation and growth of thought, for there is no quarrelling for position here, no one being pompous above another. 

The one who has the better sense begins to shine in the eyes—on the brow and on the chest and hands, and over this shining he has no control. It comes by godliness, and so this colour light is the purpose working to the surface and showing who is nearer to the fulfilment of the Divine law than another. No one here seeks for gold, but only for the glory of shining that they may take high places in the heavens and become of use in the grand building of the mind powers. 

O mother, life has more meaning than I thought, and, as I study and work, I find there is no end to advancement. 

Money hardens the affections. Money is a thing of earth, and to possess earth is a tendency to become as a part of earth.

Nothing is in vain. All the past endeavour for me is not lost by death.

The reason of all sin and doubt is lack or excess of electricity, being out of vibration or harmony with the pulse of Nature, for there is a standard pulse for harmony, else there could be no God in it. God, to be in his creations, must be a standard God and not changeable.
