THE
COMMUNICATING CIRCLE
'Does your circle have other
interests than communicating?'
"Yes, of course. You don't think we
are bothering the old earth to speak to us all the time, do you? We do
call ourselves a communicating circle, but we meet for all sorts of discussions, and
also for just friendly social
life,—visiting,—you might call it. We separate at times and go our own
various ways, and then meet again and relate our experiences,—ask for
advice perhaps, or maybe have some humorous story ,of adventure to
relate. Do you believe this last?"
'It doesn't sound much like the old
orthodox idea of heaven!'
"Not much it doesn't! And we are
glad. Heaven would scarcely
be a place of endless enjoyment for us if psalm singing and harp playing
were to occupy an eternity of time." 'Can you tell us what you have been
doing today?'
"Yes, we would like to, if we can
measure a day in your kind of time. We went "out in space" with a teacher
for a time, then returned and found a wonderful concert taking place in
the temple of music. Then we went to look up some friends, "making calls,"
you would say,—and afterwards listened to a lecture on — well, on etheric,
— no, thought waves. This took most of the time until we got your call and
came here."
'How did you get the call?'
"Just a thought call. It comes like an
impression on the brain." 'How
many are here?'
"Not all the circle. Many were away
with other occupations or with
other friends. So chiefly your most intimate friends are here."
