SPIRIT PLANES AND RACE PROBLEMS
"We have a visitor from a far away
plane, one who has never communicated with earth. He is surprised at the
ease with which we give and receive messages, and, considers it a great
advance from the life of fear and dread of this life which he felt
there. He feels that it may be a great blessing."
'Do you mean that his circle is far
away in advancement?'
"Partly that, but not entirely. The
spirit world encircles the earthly world, and he may be thousands of
miles away and yet be within the boundary of this world. The higher planes lie beyond us
out in space. We say higher
more as a term of advancement than of location."
'Do the different races gather in
circles of their own?'
"Not necessarily. It is all a matter
of congeniality. You cannot know the real worth even of some simple
child of nature whose life has
been spent in the wilds, or the desert places of earth."
'Are there foreigners in your circle
besides the Chinese philosopher?'
"We have many visitors from other
countries, but most of the
members of our circle are Americans. It does not follow that it will
always be so, for no nationality
would be excluded. Nationality does make a difference at first. But study
and experience, and the kindness that everywhere expresses itself, makes
for unity and happiness."
'Do different nationalities show any
difference in dress?'
"Not much. The clothing seems to
express their thoughts or
character, and Russian or Hindoo may express the same thought or character."
