Changes

The invisible spirit-world is embraced within God’s universe, and is in close relation to the visible. They are not and cannot be separated. The visible is illustrative of the invisible; they are correspondences. The same laws rule in both. In this life we associate with and seek those with whom we are in affinity. It is ever the same in spirit-life. There and here we are attracted to those upon the same plane of thought and life. The law of association governs in both spheres, only in spirit-life we have a broader comprehension of the cause of human activities, and look with a more lenient eye upon the weak, ignorant, misdirected children of humanity. The world has yet to recognize that all things in the universe are governed by immutable lasts—all Nature in its phenomenal manifestations, all and every act, spiritual, mental, and physical, of the human kind. Supernaturalism is a theological deception, invented by priestcraft as a meant to enslave the mind. Working upon the credulity and ignorance of weak-minded men and women, either to inspire fear or wonder in the relation of miracles, the priests have been wonderfully successful It is a part of their trade, and, in this age of light, many cultured minds accept and believe the mythic tales of supernatural acts said to have been performed by God, the Church, and its ministers. There is nothing supernatural in the communion of spirits in the physical form with those in the spirit form. It is the same as one individual conversing with another in mundane life. The conditions must exist to bring each into ''rapport ''with the other. Spirit-communion is an accomplished fact, however much professors of so-called religion and self-opinioned scientists may deny and decry it.

In the divine order of progressive unfoldment, spirit-communion was first recognized in this era, through the medium of intuitive, youthful, feminine forms. The ''spirit world ''rejoiced at the event, and a dear-seeing humanity hailed the advent with gladness and joy, as a jubilee portentous of the earning time, when peace and good will would reign on earth. It was an ''immaculate conception, ''an unfolding through woman's form of that glorious movement, so much deprecated by Christian teachings, of Mother Eve introducing the knowledge of good and evil in the world. The fruit of that glorious movement ripened into the knowledge—through woman’s intuition—of a loving, invisible humanity, in a world of light, capable of communing intelligently to the conscious perceptions of those in this life by coming into ''rapport ''with them. The problems of ages, in regard to miracles, witchcraft, divinations, dreams and correlated psychologic phenomena, are solved—nay, more, immortality, in continuous, never-ending, conscious life, is clearly proved, and no longer a matter of doubt with those who accept the light of this God-revealed gospel. Since this heaven inspiring dispensation was inaugurated, in the wisdom of prescient judgment, the general mind has been unsettled, unhinged, drifting hither and thitherward.
