CHAPTER VIII.

“All night she dreamed and wondered with the light

Her lover came—and then she understood

The purpose of her being. Life was good,

And all the world seemed bright

And nothing was, but right.”

—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The next morning, early at dawn, she saw this Indian prince

clairvoyantly. At first she could not believe her eyes! She thought the

trip to Mars and Purgatory only a dream.

“Cresto, are you a true, living soul? Was my awful dream last night all

true?”

“Yes, poor child, your dream was all more than true. Our souls often

travel together. It is a fact that our souls can travel, while our

bodies sleep. Love, there is no limit to the soul’s flight. Our souls

are made in the image of God. Doll, long ago I was once a real, live

Indian prince. I came from another star to watch over you and protect

you, dear. Dreams are often true. I have given you many facts in dreams.

I will also develop you to a higher degree clairvoyantly. You hear me

now, love, clairaudiently. True visions from the other world will often

be revealed to you. Ruth, please remember all that I reveal to you in

visions, dreams, or strong impressions will be real facts,—soul facts. I

develop you to help you make poor, sorrowing humanity happy and teach

you to help others to higher planes.”

“Cresto, why do you spend so much time with me?”

“Dear, I will always be with you. I am your twin-soul—your soul-mate. I

am your other half. Darling child, without you there is no life or

happiness. You are all my very own, my twin-soul. God has made us one. I

love you with all my heart and life! I will often take your soul away in

vision to visit and enjoy other planets. Souls from other stars will

come to teach you and reveal beautiful facts to you. We will help you to

keep busy, happy and content, dove. Ruth all things are dual—all souls

dual. My darling, do you love me?”

“Yes, dear, I love you. I do not know why this new love is so strange to

me, so different from anything I ever heard of or thought of. Cresto, am

I the first mortal ever loved by a spirit? Is this a real fact or am I

still dreaming? Please, dear, tell me?”

“Ruth, do you hear me?”

“Yes, I do?”

“Are you sure?”

“I am positive, Cresto.”

“Now, do you see me?”

“Yes, I see you.”

“My own darling little angel, kiss me.”

Ruth felt his warm kisses on her lovely red lips.

“Now, dear, if you hear me, and see me, and feel my kisses, don’t you

know that I live?”

“I know now that it is true!”

“Doll, you are all my very own. You are the complement of my self-love.

Dearest, there is no individual spirit, male or female, exists without

its one eternal complement. The law of attraction will sooner or later

bring them together. Our souls have always been brought together.

According to science we were once two tiny flames of light. You were a

dim, tiny, soft, white light. I was the stronger and brighter one. We

could not be parted then. Your soul was then effeminate, my own always

masculine. Dearest child, you will always be a lady, I a gentleman—man

through eternity. We had no bodies then, we were all soul, dear. Just

two little lights, imprisoned with a tiny globe of light, floating in a

circle near the lovely, bright Pleiades. So the dear angels could watch

over us and protect our souls. They have protected us ever since and

always will, dear. Some day, darling, we will protect others. There is

lots of work to do in our Master’s vineyard. We will love to work

together; all angels do. In Heaven and all other stars where true

soul-mates are united in holy marriage, they are called angels. In Mars

we almost always see the two together. Sweetheart, our souls were living

and shining in space together for centuries. All others are the same.

God loves us more than we love Him. Our souls are very dear and can

never, never be lost—that is an impossibility. We are one with Our

Father in Heaven. Love, He has made us one for our immortal happiness.

Our souls crave and constantly pray for eternal loving companionship.

You are mine, for you and I, dear, were in embryo in a globe of light,

blended in harmony, and kept together by magnetism for our own

protection; until the angels were sure our souls were perfect and would

be immortal. Our immortality is very expensive, let us prize it and be

grateful, prayerful and always happy. After our souls become very

sensitive, strong, and highly magnetized, we are carried to earth and

become human for the first time. All the rest of the time, our souls

have been taking on immortality, and gradually growing. God created us,

then magnetized us, in the beginning so we could find each other, and be

united now. I have found you again, love, by the law of attraction.

Dear, I will explain more clearly that angels send these sacred little

twin-souls encased in globes of light to your earth by electricity on

waves of ether through the heavens, down, down, safely to earth to live

in mortal forms in order that we may obtain experience and knowledge.

You are my immortal wife, my only love from this day on. Your dear

guardian angel left you in America and me in India. Dear, angels sent

the stork from door to door with you; mothers were all too busy to keep

you long, they did not know your value. Your mother longed and prayed

for a child just like you. She has loved you and kept you close to her

loving heart for sixteen years. Dear, I can see a light around your

sweet, pretty head. Our minds or souls are still light. If mortals could

only see the light. Many can see it clairvoyantly. Good night.”
