A few weeks after this I again invited Mr. Beard down and, on resuming our investigations, I was again favoured with even more conclusive evidence of the continuity of life on the plane beyond this, but which indubitably interplanes with it.
Mr. Beard was in his normal condition, and, after sitting in the music room for a few minutes in silence, said, ” There is again your Eastern friend standing near the piano and he is looking at you with friendly, loving eyes.” He added: ” Your old friend is saluting you by placing his hand upon his brow and bowing towards you; evidently some form of Eastern salutation.
He is repeating these salutations so that I may call your attention to what he is doing.” This form of salutation is the well known Indian ” salaam,” and never did my old friend enter or leave my presence without punctiliously performing the ceremony; indeed, to omit it would have shown a lack of respect.
I said ” I am very glad, and I should now like him to show me in what way he was connected with me in the past; in what business, for example.”
Mr. Beard promptly said ” He is showing me what I take to be an immense room or warehouse, with quite a number of pillars in it. On the floor, all over this great room, are large heaps of some material of which I am ignorant.
This curious looking stuff seems to consist of some cob-webby looking material like thread; its colour is of a light greyish hue or greyish yellow. It seems to be in bundles or knots of some kind, and I am now feeling it on my hands, arms and feet as though it is of a clinging, cob-webby nature. Your spirit-friend is evidently anxious that I should get some clear idea of what he is showing me.”
He then went on ” I am now shown, in the same warehouse, but at the back, an immense array of great bales piled one on the top of the other, stretching right across the back wall and reaching to the roof of the building, and I am particularly anxious to take note of this, because I gather that this is the business with which your friend was connected with you during his earth-life.”
