Is it true that thought takes form with spirit-lives?
In other words, if a spirit-life thinks, say, of a landscape, does that thought body forth to the spiritual sight a tangible presentation of the thing thought of?
All the essential aids to spiritual progress are placed in the spirit-land, and in earth-life—or wherever the spirit—as a spirit—can go.
Now, as spirit-life is possessed of a very large degree of freedom when it casts off the mortal body—
It is very reasonable to suppose that if you think of a beautiful landscape, place—or thing in your external life, you might commence action to reach that.
If your desire is strong enough, you do not stop until you reach it—until the object is gained and you are thereby satisfied.
In this sense only does thought produce external objects—or bring them to you.
If thought does not take form with the spirit, then is it true that the objectivities of the spirit-world appear fixed and permanent, as with us on earth?
For instance, three persons with us look at the objects in a room and we all see the same things.
Is the correspondence of this true with spirits?
The capacity to understand is within—
The variety is without, but the capacity to enjoy the variety is from within.
There will be a difference of opinion because there is a difference in the internal constitution of the individual, for it is by the internal that the external is measured.
—Spirit John Pierpont
