Helping human beings awaken as spiritual beings
THE PLACE OF GREAT SOULS We sat in silence for a while after Sarah had departed with her angel, thinking that our next visit would soon begin, but presently the Ruby Angel pressed upon our minds that he would give us further teaching before this took place. It had no particular bearing, he explained wordlessly, … Read more
SARAH’S PICTURE “Shall we go on a round of visits now?” suggested our angel. “I would like you to learn more of Heaven-sight.” “How would a round of visits help us to learn that?” I asked, and Janet said: “We know a little of extended Heaven-sight…” “Oh, the Ruby Angel intends to take us on … Read more
DEGREE OF DIGNITY “Let us go now to the Place of Trees,” the Ruby Angel suggested. “It is time you attained to the Degree of Dignity.” “Oh, what is that?” I asked, while Janet turned her face to his. Our angel smiled. “I cannot help seeing the picture in you minds! You think of gowns … Read more
THE GREEN PASTURE How peaceful was the time that followed! Our dear angel said we had had quite a lot of teaching and had used up a deal of energy in all our visits and so we must be refreshed. “We shall visit the Garden of Serenity and walk awhile in the Green Pasture,” he … Read more
TREES After the last lesson of the Angel we all walked on for a very long time. At least it seemed a long time afterwards when we came to look back upon it but it may have been a mere flash. Who can tell? We had so many experiences, we met so many people, we … Read more
PEOPLE AND FLOWERS After the Ruby Angel had given us his blessing he seemed to fade away out of our sight as he had done so many times before. We sat again on the log, silent and awed, yet with that radiant joy within our hearts which we knew so well in Heaven’s realm. The … Read more
THE FIRST INTENTION The wood was green and cool and silent. Janet and I sat on a fallen log, enjoying the softness of the vine twining so thickly over its surface. How long had we rested there? It was difficult to say. For a long time we had not spoken. Before that we had been … Read more
The setting sun was so bright upon the water that it dazzled our eyes. We were glad to settle down in the slight shade of a straggling tree, letting its feathery leaves act as a veil for us. “How still it is,” Janet murmured. “And how shining bright,” I added. “So still, so bright, so … Read more
THE ROAD TO FREEDOM Janet and I sat beside the Ruby Angel, looking out toward the snowy hills. There was a tang in the air. The wind whistled among the bare branches of the trees at our feet, and then, rushing up the hillside, swirled icily about us. The grass on which we were sitting … Read more
THE MOUNTAIN AND THE STREAM “Look at that swiftly-flowing stream,” our angel said. He leant against the trunk of a tree, his ruby gown glowing against the shadowed bark. But how is this?” I demanded surprisedly. “Where is the high field and the mountain-range of a moment ago?” Janet, too, was gazing round in astonishment … Read more
“WHAT IS MAN?” “I will teach you of life,” said the Ruby Angel. We were sitting in a field set high among the hills – Janet and I. Our favourite angel was with us, and so we were deeply content. I drew up my knees and clasped my arms around them, looking out over the … Read more
We spent the journey in meditation, feeling that a preparation of quietness and peace was essential. The drifting ease and blankness of the void, and the blue light made stillness simple. As we sped on our way without apparent movement, our minds were each turned inward to the Master, who at once supported and communed … Read more
Far away we heard the sound of trumpets. At once there was movement everywhere. We leapt to our feet and hurried out to the green. All around us, people were doing the same, and without any words, each seemed to know his appointed place. Swiftly the crowds formed two long ranks, the children in the … Read more
“What a delightful place,” Rose sighed, looking round our house. “The comfort of it!” “See how simple it is,” Janet said. “On earth, people complicate life so much. Here, with a place to rest, fruit to eat and all the land to roam in, one can be completely happy.” “I almost wish I could stay,” … Read more
Janet and I gasped simultaneously. “On the sea!” I echoed, “but I thought you said she came from earth? How can she have such powers?” “Does a soap-bubble have ‘powers’ when it rises higher than a man can jump?” he retorted, and added, when he saw my puzzlement, “Of course she would have ‘powers’ if … Read more
I was particularly pleased with our coming visit for I had long had a plan in my mind for acquiring one of the houses in the Plane Between. Remembering the happiness of Stephen and James there, I thought that Janet and I could perhaps secure a house nearby. The mother, whose name was Doris, was … Read more
On our way we talked together. I asked Janet if she had been to the Hall of Sleep before, and she said she had served there for some time. Of course, I wanted details. “How is it that some newcomers need sleep when they arrive and others do not?” “Some have laboured for many years … Read more
The hall was peopled with angels who acted as guides, and as we approached, one came to us at once and motioned us to follow. We were led to a large group of the Purple-Gowned and there was immediately a great number of introductions between us. Very soon my shoulder felt quite stiff with all … Read more
The return journey was very different from that on which I had come. This time I knew where I was and the reason for it. Also, I had the company of Janet, Stephen and James. As we raced along through the void, soothed by its strange blue light, I felt as though we were on … Read more
“Oh the power, the Wisdom, the Love,” I murmured, trying to realise it all. After a while, I asked, “What of the people? Who are they and where were they when we first came?” “This is a Plane Between,” Stephen explained. That was all he said but it opened up my link with his mind. … Read more
