In the world of spirits, willpower is the great creative agency of soul impressions rather than bodily senses.
Soul impressions are, in the main correct, for spirit life is a mingling of the old and new―past and present―not yet wholly spirit, nor wholly of earth, spirit souls partake of both natures.
Like a girl who is just between childhood and womanhood may be a child one day and a woman the next―or like a dragonfly, just emerging from its case comes out with wings, it is true, but they are folded ones, and for a time that bears some proportion to his short life, he seems rather to crawl on these folded wings as if he were a grub than to open them and fly away.
