Because some have asked regarding the extent of one’s ability to conceive and progress in any one lifetime, let it be said that it is frankly very doubtful that the majority of persons would make all the headway possible in any particular earth life for, in most cases, people are too into their own physical material life.

In the case of this entity, as has been mentioned, due to the existing need, the briefness of time to accomplish all things and because of much preparation, she feels as though just about all has been worked out and conceived which has been set up to do. After man actually sets out upon the more progressive pathway, we plan while on the Inner just what we shall accomplish and learn while on this side; and it does seem this has been completely accomplished, other than the remaining testimonial books to be published. But there exists a sense of completeness and peace – a peace possible only through the severance or separation of self from past influences and ties.

The world and all its belongings – all things of the world have come to seem meaningless – as nothing. They no longer hold my interest. Occasionally, I will wander into a store, an apparel shop, as ladies are wont to do, to try to find a little stimulation and if some garment may appear for the moment, a bit attractive to me, even before I can purchase it interest has already dissipated; the oscillation with these values has all been changed, and they are as naught. Some outfit that would, to the average person, cause reaction and emotion, means nothing to me. I can find nothing to quicken this one – and that’s good! The only thing that ‘yours truly’ can get a little ‘charge’ with anymore is to see, when it does take place, the post office box stuffed extra full – orders from new faces – which means others are joining hands in their upward climb and, of course, the letters of testimonial as they relate to us of their happy progress of change, healings, etc. These are the real values and which, I am sure, shall always remain of interest as they are of the spirit, the inner and higher.

Our ‘Visitors’ still (and shall always) continue to appear now and then but we know They are with us continuously on the Inner – and we need not have to ‘see’ to believe. When they do appear in consciousness, the lift or transcendency is less in its intensity with me because of the more compatible relationship which has been formed with me. The trance state is usually slight now, as I have been tremendously stepped up in frequency.

Especially if we two speak of some higher aspect, of some abstraction, as Ernest often does, then one or several Spiritual Beings make the attunement as He has attuned unto them and their beautiful, glowing Energy Bodies are viewed, and it always is wonderful to sense. The Power, the heat, Ray beams and Light have become more frequent, stronger and more intense as attunement is made with anyone in need – so much so that any more, even through the letters, the powers flow abundantly as Consciousness is thusly directed toward them.

Yes, the climb up this golden stairway into the future has been a most wonderful one. We look forward to future time on the Inner when life can be lived more fully in Consciousness and in company with the Brothers and Sisters of Light. My one regret – yet it could not really be termed regretful – is that it is utterly impossible to relate in words this tremendous flight out of the dim, distant past into the glorious light-filled Consciousness of the present. What a joy it is to view all things objectively, rather than being involved with them emotionally!

And of our Beloved One who patiently, yet longingly, awaits the time when He shall step from the prison flesh – and indeed, it has been that to such a Soul – to again take up his abode and directorship with the great Spiritual Brotherhood. I am sure it will be a welcomed homecoming! But, for the time, even though the works He had planned to bring to the earthean have all been voiced, written and found their way into print, He continues to carry on the transducing of the Energy Rays, the Powers from the Higher into the earth-plane, to aid each one in touch.

In his particular way, He keeps his finger on the pulse of creation, continues to relate with the scientists on the Inner via his ‘objet d’lens’, for he has always appreciated fine lenses. He was, as you know, the scientist Spinoza.

Thus, his telescopes, cameras (of a large variety), microscopes, binoculars, etc., serve to furnish him a vague interest even to this day. He has a fondness for these things; even though they may not be used. He enjoys handling and the feel of these scientific objects with their intricate lenses, which have enabled man to learn many things.

Just last evening, He showed me a view of the glorious Saturn. What a beautiful sight to see, the great silver disc with its rings surrounding it, so clear, sharp and distinct. Such things get one to thinking when we see these heavenly bodies seemingly floating (supposedly) in space. Surely, there can be no greater thought provoker – planets to which man can evolve!

So, as we often reminisce – who else in the entire world has so accomplished? It is not untruth or bragging to state, that with all the efforts of all peoples of all the world together, they do not begin to compare in real, true, lasting value with the works He has brought; for what it actually amounts to is the difference between life and death of the planet earth!

This is quite true but, only through conceiving of principle, of personal progress, of inner growth and awareness could one conceive of that vast and incredible fact. All that man does or accomplishes in any one lifetime on earth, in a physical way, advances him very little, if any. It is the spiritual values, when added to his inner nature, that create of him the spiritual being who can and does become godlike; becomes an oscillating polarity with the Infinite Intelligence!
