To reach the centre of light and its perfection, each individual progresses through many evolutions, each one permitting a fuller measure of light. Each evolution has its duties and tasks to perform, its education to make and its errors to overcome. These are not existent―they are the natural outcome of the liberty, free will and limited understanding of the imperfect individual. Naturally they differ in each plane, but the nearer we come to the fount of wisdom, the stronger we are and the greater is our happiness, for we see more clearly the meaning of life and its glorious possibilities.

Where do we go after death?
Why do you seem so happy?
Have you found treasure? Nothing less could make you look so happy. I would participate in your joy.
This is such a beautiful place! I am enchanted! I am delighted!
Can it be possible that I can always live here?
I cannot, cannot describe my happiness!
Such beautiful-looking people! Everything here dazzles my eyes with ecstatic beauty and splendour. The very ground I tread on yields to my touch.
I see such broad and shining rivers, moon and sun, but so much brighter than I ever saw on earth. How strange it all seems!
The very stars seem to smile as they twinkle, and music fills the air wherever I turn my ear.
How I wish to go back and tell the world of this lovely place! My friends would not believe me.
It is more heaven than I ever dreamed of―more than I could ever conceive.
What is the nature and condition of the future life into which you pass after death?
Look directly to this end, furnish a mass of evidence for study and determine what the reality beyond death is.
With this motivation in mind, the writer began to examine books whose spirit authors sought to describe their experiences in the spirit world and the conditions of life in that world.
The writer reasoned―all things considered, who better to learn from than the disembodied themselves?
Besides, the writer was positive that she would find shared tenets in these spirit communications, and only individual narratives would vary, for all experience is relative.
Do the dead still live?
I had said I would face death when it came with the courage of those who know only that for them, it must mean total extinction, for if these priests were wrong, who was right?
Who could tell us anything of the future―or if there were any God at all?
Not the living, for they theorise and guess, and not the dead, for none came back from them to tell. But I am here, make no mistake!
How can I fail to heed the call in the cause of truth and freedom?
And is the picture of life beyond the grave so unnatural?
Out of death arises life.
There are untold treasures in store for the earnest and sincere inquirer and honest seeker after the truth. And is not the enjoyment of this light richly worth seeking for?
May the truth resonate deeply within the very interior of your whole being!

What is meant by spiritual environment?
Let this curb your judgment—remember that the deep decision of the spirit is responsible for the environment in which each one is placed.
Therefore, do not judge when the forces of evil sometimes overcome those whose lives are sordid and free from joy—those who are hemmed in by the many horrors of physical life and those who walk side by side with poverty and with care. Do not judge these because in time to come you will see that all the while they were Christ's friends and He calls them thus.
The inheritance is there—you come from Him and nothing which emanated from that which is All-power, All-thought, All-love—nothing which emanated from the Source of Holiness can do aught but return to its Source at last.
Compassion for all—understanding for all, as far as may be, helping by prayer and thought and action. This is the gospel of Christ—this is the truth He taught—this is what He waits for those who love Him to adopt.
God's Love is everywhere where you tread.

What does God want to do with my life?
Would that all mankind would realise its grandeur and simplicity and mould their lives accordingly while upon the earthly plane. How much better they would then be able to enjoy the many beauties which God has placed about them, ever with the thought for their happiness, yet how many heed them not and pass with unseeing eye and heedless step, crushing beneath the careless foot many a tender and beautiful thing in plant life as well as human.
Mark these expressions of thought, for to the thinker, as well as the unthinker, they will mean a lesson worth study.
God gives us all we have, so why not endeavour to live our human lives in such manner as to be able to stand before Him when the call comes and say to Him—
Dear Father and Friend, I have tried to do my individual part—if I have failed, I grieve for my weakness in not being able to follow your command, but I have tried honestly to live in the right thought and follow in the pathway of truth.
