The Blue Island and Other Spiritualist Writings (Life on Other Worlds Series)

by William T. Stead

We do not talk to each other very much here, we have a more expressive and intimate way than that. Here, thoughts are communicated from one mind to another without the need of vocal expression, although we can talk in earth manner at will.

I cannot emphasize to you too much, that as you are, so you will be.

You are now, whilst on earth, making your bodies for your next conditions. These

are built up by you...

lives and the quality of you...

Earth is not the lasting world. It is the training school. You are not only on earth to amass riches and enjoy life, just for what it is; you are there to learn the truth about your own character, and how to control and develop it, to make

I am not able fully to understand them myself, for as I have said, I am only a little way on my journey, but just far enough to grasp the intense beauty of life, and in life.
