The only claim that you have on the Spiritual world is a love claim—is a love for someone on the other side that tends to draw that one near to you, and to establish rapport, or a state in which communication is made easy.
A love claim is usually the connecting link between the physical and the spiritual world in so far as it concerns the first spiritual zone and the lives of those who have recently departed.
But something more than a love claim is necessary when higher spiritual zones are to be entered and more highly developed life communicated with.
You may attain to the first spiritual zone, and to a communication with your departed loved ones there through the attractive power of love alone, but when you wish to get into communication with the higher zones, you must do so through evolution, growth, development—through attaining to a high state of vibratory refinement while still in human form.
