"If two of your friends are on the other side of a
thick wall, you may not be able to recognize them by their voices. The wall
prevents clear hearing. If you wish to recognize them, the wall must not remain
between you and them. This is what we are now doing. In order to recognize the
voice of truth, we are removing our psychological wall. For example, by
removing traditional but false beliefs, we are able to hear the pure messages
of our original nature."

BESIDE the dead I knelt in prayer,
And felt a Presence as I prayed.
Lo ! it was Jesus standing there.
He smiled : "BE NOT AFRAID."

Restore again to life," I said,
“This one who died an hour ago."

“Asleep, then, as Thyself didst say ;
Yet Thou canst lift the lids that keep
Her prisoned eyes from ours away."
He smiled : " SHE DOTH NOT SLEEP."

"Cease to pretend that the nightmare is a beautiful dream and life
takes on a new meaning." Vernon Linwood Howard
The maxim, "The end justifies the means," is the greatest perversion of truth, and still more so if this hidden power, the power of suggestion, is used to injure any one for a more personal motive than in these cases which I have cited. The lower the motive, the lower the action becomes, and to suppose that because mental means are employed they make any difference in the nature of the act is a very great mistake. The Hidden Power by Thomas Troward [1921] II. The Perversion of Truth
I cannot go into illustrations
here at length. They would only necessitate unfavourable criticisms. One has
only to read such works as Andrew Jackson Davis produced
to raise the severest sceptical doubts. No one could have given a more graphic
account of the other life than he does in his Summerland. But if we compare it with the communications of Judge Edmunds, the differences
are so great as to create doubt, rather than prove the case. Then Stainton Moses, in his Spirit
Teachings, gives an altogether different
account, and through Mrs. Piper the same real or
alleged personalities denied some of the most important statements made by them
through Stainton Moses. In all of them, however, it is represented as a replica
or duplicate of the material world. And yet, in the face of this, communicators
will often tell us that they cannot tell us
what it is like, and that we would not
understand it if they did.
