What is the measure of a soul?

Not all can feel the same impulses or comprehend the same divine power, but only so much as to them seems real can they accept. Hence the need of separate homes. 

To use a homely phrase, souls are like measures, some hold a pint, some a quart, some only a gill. Yet they are all full and can hold no more. 

So it is here, some see the grand, the ennobling power of a glorious Universe, which seems to infill them with its grandeur, but others only see the material condition of everything, which adapts itself to their wants. 

These last are merely vegetations in the land of souls. 

You cannot inspire such to anything higher than they can see, feel or touch—they only climb step by step in sphere life, as they did while on earth, ever holding fast to their condition of the last until fully certain that they are firmly established in the new, and then are only looking for self-preservation, never yielding or feeling willing to rest in the inspiration of a divine power. 

Spirits have many here who move so slowly that it takes ages to realise that they are moving upward to a superior condition.

For such, they have homes and teachers who kindly care for and encourage them. These homes are like asylums where they are nourished and protected with grounds attached where they are strengthened, thereby healed and made happy to go on in the great life truth of the spiritual world.
