In the Spiritual World, 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 the new; the past and the 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.
