RECOGNIZING LOVED ONES
Question—What is your conception and explanation of the lives of loved ones after the passing from this earthly life: Do you believe there is a form taken as in this life, or hose will we recognize the ones whom we firmly believe we shale see again some time?
ANSWER—The poet said that "soul is form and doth the body make." If this is true and we believe that it is, for if it is the soul and not the body that is immortalized, then there is every reason to suppose that the soul will project a definite form upon whatever plane it may function, it is but natural to suppose that the soul will continue to project a body made after the image of its own remembrance. Hence, we shall see and be seen, know and be known after the transition which we call death.
RECONCILIATION
Question—There is inharmony between a very dear friend of mine and myself. It is mostly caused by jealousy and selfishness on my part and partly because of stubborn and false pride on the part of my friend. Will you assist me in working to bring about a complete reconciliation and happiness for us both again.
ANSWER—Jealousy, selfishness, stubbornness and false pride are all one and the same thing, and this thing is the destroyer of your peace. Whatever vitality this thing has is supplied through your own mental action. Turn squarely away from the consideration of these unlovely qualities, and "whatsoever things are lovely" in YOURSELF and your friend, "think on THESE things." Such a realization will keep you in a high love vibration. All good in the universe responds to this vibration.
Say in treating, this truth: "I give my friend perfect freedom, (page 164) even as I want freedom for myself. I love my friend, and this love wipes out all apparently opposing forces. Only love can obtain."
