Excerpt from Think on These Things
This book is made up chiefly of communications from the invisible realms of life; and by that phrase I mean not some strange and distant sphere, but a world that lies all about us, interpenetrating and intermingling with our common, every-day life, though ordinarily we are unconscious of its existence.
In one way and another it befalls, from time to time, that a man or a woman is aware of something like the quickening of a new sense; when that which has hitherto been invisible, intangible, inaudible, enters the waking consciousness and makes itself known as real, vital, and of supreme importance. So it comes about that there are some of us for whom it is no longer possible to think of that "other world" as wholly separate from our present selves; no longer possible to think of Death as a blank, impenetrable curtain that shuts us off from all knowledge of those who once gave significance and purpose to our lives.
In my own case it was not until I went down to face the very blackness of Death, when it seemed that my eyes could never weep again or my ears hearken to any song of Life, that the Spirit touched me, the inner sense awoke, and I received the assurance of things pure, lovely, and of good report.
Perhaps it is not possible to impart this assurance to others who have not had such direct experience, but as we can darken one another's lives by the shadow of our doubts, fears, and unbelief, so surely we may hope to share in some measure the light that comes from Love revealed beyond the confines of our day and night.
