It was most interesting and enlightening to see--as I was permitted
to witness--a number of those who are in human states receiving from
luminous and illuminating spirits some new application of science or
art, some new presentation of Truth! The minds of Earth so impressed
are not narrowly questioning “from whence do the ideas come”? Fearful,
if from another _mind_ that those receiving them may “lose their
Individuality.” Such minds know that Truths belong to _minds_--and that
_somewhere_ are greater minds than one’s own--who can impart knowledge.
_Truth is the common heritage of souls_; of Intelligence; and happy is
the mind, spirit or Angel that can perceive or receive it _from any
source_. Intelligence alone perceives and imparts Intelligence.
The process of imparting knowledge from spirit to spirit (whether those
imparting and receiving are in spirit states or still in Earth-forms),
grows ever more and more interesting as one passes into greater
awakening and perception of the _realities_, the _verities_ of spirit.
“Teaching,” “Education” (in the human sense) only exists in those
states or conditions in the spirit realm where the human methods and
forms of thought still govern the minds of the spirits.
Love is the great Illuminator in all realms and worlds, and thus
_adaptation_ of Teacher and the one to be taught _must_ be the keynote
to all reception of knowledge.
One would like to say so much while comparing the “Educational” process
of spirit states with the methods of Earth (excellent as some of the
latter have become); but one must hasten to record added experiences
while they are near to the outward consciousness from within. For when
one enters again into the daily life of Earth, even although it is ever
pervaded by those surpassing scenes, the vividness of the higher state
becomes dimmed by the necessary veiling that human conditions bring.
