RETROSPECT

"What is it that man seeks in life itself that has any lasting value? What is it, the question may rise in the mind, that we really do take with us when we leave this physical dimension? My friends, all of the thoughts that you entertain, all of your emotion, and all of your attitudes are what go with us into these other dimensions. For that that is known as death is only a change, a returning of the physical form to the physical elements of which it has been composed. But the mind that brought it into being goes on with us. So let us look as we face this new year. This day let us ask ourselves honestly the question, “What has true value to my life?” And if we will, in retrospect, look for a moment backwards to those days that have gone, we can but very quickly see the values of yesterday are no longer the values that we hold today. Is there anything that we thought of value a year ago or even ten that has consistently remained with us, that is serving a purpose to help us to have peace of mind, to have the joy and the wonder of living itself?

There are few in this world today that are prepared to make the eternal journey, the inevitable journey, that we’re all going to make. And because we may be young or old matters not, for that day, my friends, is coming. It is guaranteed for all of us. And there is none of us that know the exact moment that that so-called spirit of death will visit and knock at our door. Does a man with common sense give it some thought? Surely we must at least consider a journey that we’re all destined to make, because if we do not give it some consideration, you may be rest assured, my friends, we will not, in any way, be prepared for it. Many people have many different views of what it’s going to be like when they leave this earth realm, but they don’t really give it a sensible, a logical study and investigation.

If it is true—and from these thirty-some years of communicating with these dimensions it is true to me—that we do take it with us, then let us find out today what it is that we truly have. If it is true—and it is true, I assure you—that we take our emotions, our feelings, and our attitudes with us, that those are the realms, the dimensions in which we shall live and express ourselves, then let us weigh within our minds what attitudes we have, what things we are mentally, emotionally attached to, because that’s where we’re going to find ourselves, friends. And there will be no dense, gross physical body to blind our view. We’re living in those dimensions this moment, but most of us see them not because our minds are so attached to physical substance.

In these worlds known as worlds of spirit—and many dimensions there are—our thought becomes the most important asset that we have, for things in those dimensions are created from the substance of mind-stuff. If we are not able to keep our mind, for some period of time, on one thing, then we will not be able to create the better things in those so-called other dimensions. The same principle is operating this moment, today."
