Earth values are so false.

Look closely at your own habits, your thoughts, and see what can be profitably eliminated. One must come over here [the spirit world] light. Light means in all senses. I begin to see truth in the Bible I never noticed before. Those old fellows got wise to the game. Lay not up treasures on earth, etc.; I am short on the quotation, but you recall the idea. The treasures were to be laid up over here where they had some true value.

Earth values are so false.

They almost overlook entirely what lasts, what moulds the universe, which is human character. That is the answer to everything—character. It has nothing to do with property or possessions so-called. Even one's garments here are made from one's quality of character.
