Fifty Years a Medium – Chapter 7, 16/16 by Estelle Roberts

Two years prior to this, Red Cloud had bewildered Margaret and me by speaking of a highly evolved spirit being who was helping Sir John and who had first been in touch with him many years previously in India. Time after time he spelled out the name, but for some reason I could never get beyond the first six letters – MAHAMO.

Six more letters followed these but, try as I would, I could not get them. The first six letters, however, were sufficient for Sir John; he knew the name at once as one of Buddha’s two chief disciples. He told Margaret how he had once reconstructed a burial mound containing relics of Buddha and his followers Mahamogalana and Sariputra.

He had spent endless time and care in restoring the monument and supposed that in the course of it he must have come under Mahamogalana’s notice. It is a significant example of the insignificance of time and distance to those who have passed beyond death.

Sir John was passionately interested in the many evidences of survival he received from Red Cloud, and was most insistent that I should include them in this book. He, too, has now passed over. Margaret, however, continued to come to me, receiving from her father repeated proof of his survival beyond the grave.
