How are you filled with the water of life?

What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

When He said that, He knew what He was saying, and He meant just that―not something else.

When you ask God to pour His spirit on you, declare with the most absolute conviction―

The power, and the presence of the Almighty is on me, anointing and healing me, instructing or guiding me.

Do not then jump up, and immediately set about doing your own sweet will. 

Stay still in absolute, profound stillness and silence, and hear what God will say

Feel the rhythm of the divine power of God―

Be filled with the water of life.

What is the real truth?

The real truth is that you should empty yourself of self, so that God may utterly fill you and live in you, ruling your heart and mind and spirit until you are so utterly united with Him that you live in Him, and He in you, and you thus attain to your full individuality―a human soul wherein dwelleth the Almighty Father―the indwelling God.

I wish I could make you see.

I wish I could make you see that separation is death and that unity is life.

―The Judge

In unity is strength.

Remember; in unity is strength. In disunity is disintegration.

Look for your faults.

Examine yourselves, my children. 

Look for your faults. 

If you can find no fault in yourself, hang your harp on the nearest willow, for your progress is at an end.

How do you score in universal consciousness?

Do you care enough for the plight of your fellow beings?

Is there enough love in the world?

Where are you at now?

How do you score in universal consciousness?


Let Light Descend on Earth

As your consciousness expands, you let in more Light, so now I can really say, with deeper understanding―

Let Light descend on Earth!

―Spirit Sister Frances Banks

Suffering and joy are forever opposite and equal.

Suffering and joy are forever opposite and equal. 

You may rest for a time in the neutral condition of a well-fed half-consciousness, but when the extremes of suffering and joy come to you, you are no longer half-conscious, but awake and alive, and glory shines round you.

You are a state of consciousness.

You are not of flesh and blood and bone and sinew, but you are a state of consciousness.
 
It is because you recognise your state of consciousness as being yourself, that men and women reveal themselves to you.

―The Judge

What are high truths?


We are told that we are not to resist evil, but to turn the other cheek.

The world assumes that evil must be resisted by every means available.


We are told to love our enemies and bless those who curse us.

The world assumes that friends are to be loved and enemies hated.

We are told that the sun rises on the just and the unjust alike.

This world considers this undiscriminating; it would like to see clouds over evil people and is offended when they go unpunished.

We are told that outcasts and harlots enter the kingdom of God before many who are perfunctorily righteous.

Again unfair, the world thinks; respectable people should head the procession.

We are told that the gate to salvation is narrow.

The world would prefer it to be broad.


We are told to be as carefree as birds and flowers.

The world counsels prudence.

We are told that it is more difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom than for a camel to pass through a needle's eye.

The world admires wealth.

We are told that happy people are those who are meek, who weep, who are merciful and pure in heart.

The world assumes that it is the rich, the powerful, and the well-born who are happy.

The values are awry on earth.

The values are awry on earth. 

Intellect, and a trained brain-mind are great adjuncts, but they often become barriers to truth, and a true expression of divine love. 

Your reasoning mind must learn to be obedient to, and co-operative with, the Inner Selfthe Christ in you of the teaching of the Master Jesus, and the light within of eastern sages. 

To me, this has been demonstrated very clearly by the passing through our station of this great soulso simple, yet profound, in her understanding of at-one-ment with truth.

What is the spiritual dreamland?

I have not been to see you for some time, for I have been trying an experiment.


Since coming to this country, I have so often seen men and women lying in a state of subjective enjoyment
of dreamif I may use the word, that I have long wanted to spend a few days alone with my interior self in that same state. 

My reason for hesitating was that I feared to dream too long, and thus to lose valuable timeboth yours and mine.

But when I expressed to the Teacher one day my desire to visit the greater dreamland lying within my own brain, also my fear that I might be slow in waking, he promised that he would come and wake me in exactly seven days of earthly time if I had not already aroused myself.

For, he said, you can set an alarm clock in your own brain, which can always be relied upon.


This I know from old experience, but I had feared that the psychic sleep might be deeper than the ordinary sleep, and that the alarm clock might not go off at the appointed time.

I have heard much comment, so doubtless have you, on the fact that spirits, when they return to communicate with their friends, say, as a rule, so little about their celestial life. 

The reason is, I fancy, that they despair of making themselves understood should they attempt to describe their existence, which is so different from that of earth.

Now, most souls, when they have been out some time, fall into that state of reverie, or dream, which I had so long desired to experience for myself. 

Some souls awake at intervals and show an occasional interest in the things and people of the earth, but if the sleep is deep, and if the soul is willing, or desirous to leave things of the earth behind, the subconscious state may last uninterruptedly, for years, or even for centuries. 

But a soul that could stay asleep for centuries would probably be one that was living according to long rhythmthe normal rhythm of humanity.

So, when I went into the deep sleep, I went into it with a spell upon myself not to remain too long.

Oh; it was wonderfulthat dream-country in my own self! 

Theosophists would perhaps say that I had taken a rest in the bliss of devachan. 

No matter what one calls it. 

It was an experience worth remembering.


I closed my eyes and went in

Deeper than thought, where the restless waves of life are still, and the soul is face-to-face with itself, and with all the wonders of its own past. 

There is nothing, but loveliness in that sleep. 

If one can bring back the dreams, as I did, the sojourn there is an adventure beyond comparison.

I went in to enjoy, and I enjoyed. 

I found there the simulacrum of everyone whom I had ever loved. 

They smiled at me, and I understood the mystery of them, and why we had been drawn together.

I refound, too, my old dreams of ambition, and enjoyed the fruit of all my labour on earth. 

It is a rosy world, that inner world of the soul, and the heart’s desire is always found there. 


No wonder that the strenuous life of earth is oftener than not a pain, and a travail, for the dream-life, which follows is so beautiful that the balance must be preserved.

Rest! 

On earth, you know not the meaning of the word. 

I rested only seven days, but so refreshed was I that had I not other worlds to conquer, I should almost have had the courage to return to earth.

Do not neglect restyou who still live the toilsome life in the sunshine. 

For every added hour of true rest, your working capacity is increased. 

Have no fear. 

You are not wasting time when you lie down and dream. 

As I have said before, eternity is long. 

There is room, for rest in the wayside inns, which dot the path which the cycles tread.

If you want to take a long and devachanic restwhy; take it. 

Take it even on earth if it seems desirable. 

Do not be always grubbingeven at literature. 

Go out and play with the squirrels, or lie by the fire and dream with the household cat. 

The cat that enjoys the drowsy fireside also enjoys catching mice when the mood is on her. 

She cannot be always huntingneither can you.


Just take a dip in devachan some day and see how refreshed you will be when you come out. 

Perhaps I am misusing that word devachan, for I was never very deeply learned in the lore of Theosophy.

I have even heard nirvana described as a state of intense motionso rapid that it seems motionless, like a spinning top, or the wing of a hummingbird. 

But nirvana is not for all mennot yet.

I have hinted at the wonders of my seven days of blissful rest, but I have not described them. 

How can I? 

A great poet once declared that there was no thought, or feeling, which could not be expressed in words. 

Perhaps he has changed his mind by this time, after being out here some sixty years.


As I went to rest, I commanded my soul to bring back every dream. 

Of course, I cannot say whether some may not have escaped, any more than you can say on waking that you have, or have not, forgotten the deeper experiences of the night. 

But, when I came back into the normal life of this plane that is called astral, I felt like an explorer who returns from a strange journey with wondertales to tell. 

Only I did not tell them. 

To whom should I relate those dreams and visions? 

I would not be a bore, even to disembodied associates. 

Had Lionel been here, I might have entertained him many an hour with my stories, but he is lost to me, for the present.

And, by the way, he seems to have taken little or no devachanic rest. 

Is that because he was so young on coming out that he had not exhausted the normal rhythm? 

Probably. 

Had he remained out here, and grown up, perhaps he also would have sought the deeper interior world. 

But I will not speculate, for this is a record of experiences, not of speculations. 

You can speculate, as well as I, if you think it worthwhile.

I found in my own dreamland a fair, fair face.

No; I am not going to tell you about that; it is my little secret. 

Of course, I found many faces, but one was lovelier than all the others, and it was not the face of the Beautiful Being either. 

The Beautiful Being I meet when I am wide awake. 


I did not encounter her, as an actual presence in sleep, only the simulacrum of her. 

In the deeper dreamland, we see only what is in our brains. 

Things do not exist thereonly the memories of things, and the imagination of them.

Imagination creates in this world, as in yoursit actually moulds the tenuous substance, but, in the greater dreamland, I do not think that we mould in substance. 

 It is a world of light and shadow pictures, too subtle to be described.


Even before this experience, I had gone into the memories of my own past, but I had not revelled in them
had not indulged myself to the extent of conjuring with light and shade. 

But, oh! what is the use? 

There are no words to describe it. 

Can you describe the perfume of a rose, as you once said yourself? 

Can you tell how a kiss feels? 

Could you even describe the emotion of fear, so that one who had not felt it, by former experience in this life, or some other, would know what you meant? 

No more can I describe the process of spiritual dreaming.

Revel to your heart’s content in fancyin memorywhile you are still in the bodyand yet I think that you will have only the shadow of a shadow of what I experienced in those seven daysthe recollection of a reflection of the real dream. 


The reflection of a reflection! 

I like that phrase. 

It suggests a clear picture, though not a direct impression. 

Try dreaming, then, even on earth, and maybe you will get a reflection of a reflection of the pictured joys of the spiritual dreamland.

Love to God and man

Love to God and man—

He who can measure up to this standard will be the ideal citizen of the ideal commonwealth in any age of the world.

—Julian Johnson

What are the archives of the soul?

I have spoken of a determination to visit other planets when my work of writing these letters is ended, but I must not neglect to say that I consider such journeys to and fro in the universe of far less spiritual value than those of other journeys, which I have made, and shall make into the deep places of my own self. 

Travelling in actual space and time is important to a man, that he may gain knowledge of other lands and peoples, see the differences between these peoples and himself and learn the causes thereof; yet quiet meditation is even a greater factor in growth if a man whose spiritual perceptions are open can do but one of these two things, it would be better for him to sit in a cabin in the backwoods and seek in his own soul for the secrets which it guards, than to travel without such self-examination to the ends of the earth.

Get acquainted with your own soul. 

Know why you do this or that, why you feel this or that. 

Sit quietly when in doubt about any matter and let the truth rise from the deeps of yourself. 


Examine your motives always. 

Do not say I ought to do this act for such and such a reason; therefore, I do it for that reason.

Such argument is self-deception. 

If you do a kind act, ask yourself why. 

Perhaps you can find even in a kind action a hidden motive of self-seeking. 

If you should find such a motive, do not deny it to yourself. 

Acknowledge it to yourself, although you need not advertise it on the walls of your dwelling. 

Such a secret understanding will give you a greater sympathy and comprehension in judging the motives of others.

Strive always for the ideal, but do not label every emotion as an ideal emotion if it is not really that. 

Speak the truth to yourself. 

Until you can dare to do that, you will make little progress in the quest for your own soul.

Between earth lives is a good time to meditate, but one should form the habit of meditation while still in the flesh. 

Habits formed in the flesh have a tendency to continue after the flesh is laid aside. 

That is a reason why one should keep as free as possible from physical habits.


I have made wonderful discoveries in the archives of my own soul. 

There, I have found the memories of all my past, back to a time almost unbelievably distant. 

In seeing how the causes set up in one life have produced their effects in another life, I have learned more than I shall learn on my coming tour of the planets.

Everything exists in the soul; all knowledge is there. 

Grasp that idea if you can. 

The infallible part of us is the hidden part and it is for us to bring it to light. 

Do you understand now why I advise the disembodied to break away from the distractions and the dazzling mirages of the earthly life? 

Only in the stillness of detachment can the soul yield up her secrets. 

It is not that I am indifferent to earthly loves; on the contrary, I love more deeply than ever all those whom I loved on earth, but I realise that if I can love them wisely instead of unwisely, it will be better for them and for me.

Yet the call of the earth is loud sometimes and my heart answers from this side of the veil.

What is the favourite subject of your thoughts?

It is curious that we never mention to others the favourite subject of our thoughts, that is, most of us do not.

Like begets like!

Remember; in life, like begets like.

There is more than one point of view.

Remember; there is always more than one point of view on everything.

Change it!

Remember; if you experience an event, situation, or condition you do not like, change it! 

Choose again and select another!

One in the Light

God's love resides within you. You are loved. You are one in the light. Remember that always.
