“For the last few days before I left the body and ever since, I have been enveloped in a great light like a cloud of fire. It prevented me from feeling any bodily sensations both before and during my passing, and kept me in a condition of exaltation and joy for three days afterwards. C. (his wife who is still alive) and the bairns came up to me into the cloud every night when their bodies were asleep, and we entered into a state of ineffable glory. “The Master was present, and He shone amidst the glory with an even greater light.

You find Them behind every good movement, not so much as Persons or as Individuals, but tis Officers. There are many more Masters here than there are on the physical plane, and I have already joined a band which contains more than One. Tell my wife that the One we worshipped together is the One to Whom we both belong. “I am so uplifted that the restraint is unbearable when I touch your earth through you. No one on earth knows what life is; such realization is impossible in the physical body. One feels like a bubble always rising to the top of the water and only being kept down by sheer force of will. C. [the wife] comes to the top of the water, too, at night, and the real c. lives there eternally. At last I have found her, the real c. with the real me, and here we are continually together. “The bairns will see the coming of the Lord before very long; this place is all
