After being favoured with much clear manifestation from some of my dear ones who have passed over, and a visit from my radiant Guide—”Maira”—a celestial being of Eastern origin—which I will refer to later on, the Medium became under the control of some potent influence and presently a voice commenced to speak in slow, measured tones, low, yet perfectly clear.

This noble Guide began with a powerful exhortation in which I was first told that he, among others, had been watching over my life for many years and, although I knew it not, I had been guarded and protected by spirit influence, and was still surrounded by vigilant watchers and active helpers who were always ready and willing to lead me with their spirit hands along the paths of rectitude, honour, and truth, to enrich me with their spirit thoughts, and help me with their spiritual wisdom.

I was particularly enjoined to press forward and, by prayerful hopefulness, to develop those spiritual powers which I, in common with all men, possess—if mortals would but recognize the truth—and never cease to use them in the service of my fellow-men and to the Glory of God.

I was told that already many had been influenced by me, and I was never to cease in my efforts to spread abroad, but always with discretion and judgment, the living truths in respect to spiritual science so that others might be comforted by hope, and cheered by those warm rays which ever proceed from that never-failing source of God’s protecting love.

It was pointed out that, although many were still far from Him, all would be gathered in so that none would be lost; the work of redemption was going on and, although man was doubtful of the value of the work done, and to be done, yet the Everlasting Intelligence knew that, in His good time, the harvest would be full and every ear of corn safely garnered.

It was then pointed out that neither Here nor in the Hereafter was a thought ever lost; that my thoughts, for example, found their counterpart elsewhere, and attracted exactly those thoughts, ideas or desires which corresponded to my own condition. “Like attracts Like,” affirmed my Guide, and this, he explained, is but the operation of a universal law applying with inexorable inflexibility to every sphere of God’s Illimitable Creation.

So faithfully is this law carried out that all spirits, on the plane of life immediately removed from our own, are clothed in robes of distinctive colour, which not only denote their particular sphere but their thought-condition as well, and it thus becomes apparent that such a law must,

in its comparatively simple operation, automatically render promiscuous intermingling of uncongenial natures impossible. ” Like attracts Like is the law, and the Ever Merciful accordingly sets up a simple law for the comfort and for the protection of His creatures which cannot be broken or set aside.
