SIMPLE TRUTHS

AS ONE THINKS, ONE IS.

There is no compulsion to review one’s past life on earth as soon as one arrives and the new life begins. Some take a long while to tackle the problem. They dread to see the effects of mistakes and failures.

THE CONVICTION THAT ONE HAS FAILED IN THE LAST ROUND HAUNTS THE SOUL.

Some get stuck—these undergo a kind of mental and spiritual psychiatry—and spiritual helpers devote their love and thought, their skill and experience to aiding the stumblers until their course has become clear (both past and possible future) and they have been able to rectify the places in the chain where they have failed.

IN THE DEEPS OF ONE’S OWN MIND

Two blueprints are brought forward into the spirit-soul’s consciousness. These are so clear that the spirit-soul can literally take them out, materialise and study them. One is the Perfect Idea with which the spirit-soul went bravely into incarnation. The other is the resultant of only a partially understood Plan—the life, as it was actually lived.

A SALUTARY EXPERIENCE

It is a shock to the spirit-soul to find that these two plans, that is, the Life Review and Judgement, differ exceedingly.

The blueprints resemble maps, with coloured places, and light and dark patches, and a kind of glowing sun for the highlights. The mind looks at the whole comparison and sets the blueprints side by side. This is the first shock—a true humbling of oneself to find that one did so little when one would have done so much; that one went wrong so often when one was sure that one was right.

And yet, one learns so much by facing the results.

YOURS IS THE JUDGMENT

During this experience, the whole cycle of the spirit-soul’s life-term unfolds before it in a kaleidoscopic series of pictures. During this crisis, the spirit-soul seems to be entirely alone. It stands at its own bar of judgement, making its own decisions and taking its own blame. It is the accused, the judge and the jury.

This is where quite a few souls become immobilised. Their pictures are too searing in their exposures. They remain prisoners of the self until they have made the inner desire to right their wrongs.

Immediately the spirit-soul becomes ready to face itself again, it is guided to these beautiful and peaceful homes.

The second stage of this recapitulation starts when the spirit-soul feels strong enough and calmed sufficiently to take the earth life, round by round (so-to-speak). Then the blueprints are brought into the mind again; only this time the start is made from the moment of departure from the body. The mind works slowly backwards through its experiences. Now the spirit-soul seems no longer alone.

Someone is beside it. Only now, as the spirit-soul ponders, works out, goes over, tabulates and judges what it did AND WHY AND WHAT WERE THE RESULTS—good or bad—the spirit-soul is aware of a great Being beside it, giving strength, peace, tranquillity and helping with constructive criticism. This is a wonderful experience, though harrowing at times. But very cleansing and bringing new hope.

The Sisters in the Home help the stumblers—many get stuck on their first picture—and try to link up with these great ones and bring help and strength to the stumblers’ level. The soul cannot move on until it has literally seen the Light or at least as much of the Light as it can assimilate at its present stage.
