I saw many of those who had been poor in worldly possessions, even
despised and scorned among men or put to death because of their
advocacy of an unpopular “cause” now radiant in their own spiritual
brightness, unconsciously
“Wearing their sunbright thoughts
For Robes of Royalty.”
Ah! How beautiful were they! These of the shining faces and radiant
hearts! Ever intent on trying to aid humanity, whether in shadowed
spirit states or in Earthly conditions.
One may not give the names (even if one knew them) by which these
in the various spirit states were known on Earth. I saw many who
were known to be Great: Great in thoughts, deeds and words for the
enlightenment of their fellow-beings. Ever were they humble, as ever
are the truly _Great_. None in spirit life are outwardly _adorned_ with
the “honors” given to them or their “memory” by a tardy World. The
truly exalted are far too intent on ameliorating the adverse conditions
of spirit and human states to take note of the praise and pomp of
Earthly “celebrations” in “memory” of them, sometimes tardily bestowed.
To be truly Beloved by an individual, a country or a world is indeed
blessed, and exalted souls do know and understand the true meaning of
being “appreciated and beloved.”
The Light of the Shining ones, the Great ones, is not dimmed in the
brightness of the higher spheres, for they are of its light a part.
