Each spirit in space has its vocation, and pursues it with facilities unknown on earth. Each one finds its<br />
place in this superb field of action in this vast, universal laboratory. Everywhere subjects for study and travel,<br />
with means of education and participation in divine work, offer themselves to the industrious soul. Heaven is<br />
not the cold void of the place of inactive contemplation believed in by some. It is a living universe, animated,<br />
luminous, filled with intelligent beings on the way to continual evolution. The higher these spiritual beings<br />
ascend, the more accentuated are their tasks, the more important become their missions. In time they take rank<br />
among the messenger souls who go and carry to the limits of time and space the will and force of the Infinite<br />
One; for the most inferior spirit, as for the most eminent, the domain of life is without limit. Whatever the<br />
height to which we attain, there is ever a superior plane to reach.<br />
For every soul, however low in the scale, a great future is prepared. Each generous thought, every<br />
living impulse, every effort toward a better life, is a vibration and an appeal from the higher world which will<br />
eventually receive all souls. Each burst of enthusiasm, each act of abnegation, helps us up the ladder of our<br />
destiny. In the measure that a soul detaches itself from inferior spheres, it perceives the high manifestations of<br />
intelligence, justice and goodness: and its life becomes more beautiful and divine. The confused murmurs, the<br />
discordant noises of the human centers, grow fainter, and finally are silent. At the same time, the harmonious<br />
echoes of celestial societies become perceptible. It is the clear call of happy regions where reign eternal light,<br />
serenity, and peace, and from whence come all things fresh and pure from the hands of God. The profound<br />
difference which exists between terrestrial life and life in space resides in the sentiment of deliverance and of<br />
absolute liberty enjoyed by purified spirits. The material cords are broken, and the pure souls takes its flight to<br />
the high regions. In a life exempt from physical necessities, it feels its faculties grow, and acquires a<br />
penetration into the veiled splendors of the infinite realms.<br />
The language of the spiritual world is the language of pictures and symbols rapid as thought. That is<br />
why our invisible guides use symbols by preference in warning dreams of approaching danger. Ether, supple<br />
and luminous, takes with extreme facility the forms which they will to produce.<br />
Spirits communicate with one another by processes which make the greatest human eloquence seem<br />
but dull babbling. The intelligent pupils perceive and realize without effort the most marvelous conceptions of<br />
art and genius. But these conceptions cannot be literally transmitted to man. Even in the most perfect<br />
mediumistic manifestations, the spirits have to submit to the physical laws of our world, and are but vague<br />
reflections or weak echoes of celestial spheres - broken notes of the eternal symphony which they would have<br />
reach even to us. All is grand in the spiritual life; the etheric body becomes more and more transparent and<br />
diaphanous, and leaves a free passage for the radiations of the soul.<br />
With a greater aptitude to enjoy and understand the infinite splendors, and a more extended memory of<br />
the past, an increasing familiarization with things in superior planes, so the soul in its progression attains the<br />
supreme altitudes. Arrived at these heights, the spirit has conquered all passion, all evil tendencies; it is free<br />
for ever from the material yoke and the law of re-birth. It is the definite entrance into divine kingdoms from<br />
which it will no more descend in the circle of generations, save voluntarily, and to accomplish sacred missions.<br />
Upon these summits existence is a perpetual fête of the intellect and the heart. It is the communion of<br />
love between those who have pursued the same cycle of reincarnations and trials. Add to it the constant vision<br />
of eternal beauty, a profound penetration of the holy mysteries and the universal laws, and you will have a<br />
feeble idea of the joys reserved for those who, by their efforts and their merits, have arrived at the higher<br />
heavens.<br />
