Some have supposed that the resting place of my Spirit is far, far away, and to finite minds, the distance is immense, but to the freed spirit, it is as the twinkling of the lightning flash as it darts across your vision.
You see it and it is gone—So with the spirit.
With the velocity of human thought, you can be in one point of space, and as quick as the flash of lightning, you can be at another point.
In this respect, we differ from those who inhabit this cumbrous clay, and oh! what rapturous freedom this is when we can answer the heart calls of earth at a moment's notice and be with you almost as soon as desired if not otherwise engaged.
It is superfluous for me to state I am happy.
Rest assured—
As God is true and cannot err, all these things, which seem to be afflicting are but for a moment and will work out for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
Oh! to the hungry man how sweet a morsel is a crust of bread! and to the trial-tossed spirits of time, how sweet is the harmonic reception, which will greet them in spirit life!
Do not despair, for a brighter world awaits and loved ones are there—
With true hearts they wait, and with outstretched arms, they stand at the portals of yon gate that opens into the Spiritland!
There is no death, but all is light, and loving friends await to greet you when you come—a welcome pilgrim—to your starry home.
Perhaps some may say—
What new truth has evolved?
There is nothing new under the sun.
In your advancement in spiritual knowledge, it is necessary that you work out your own salvation and elevate your own spirit to that plane where you may receive the divine efflux, which is ever-flowing out from the Great I Am.
—Spirit S. G. A.
Writer's note—No one who reads the foregoing should make the mistake of supposing that this young man's joyful experience is that of all who pass the change, so-called death.
On the contrary, it can be true of only such as have—like him—devoted their earth lives to the acquirement of Truth and the unselfish service of others.
Truly, serve if you hope to survive.
