264Tom: Don’t you think you had better be thinking about it?S.: Possibly I had.Tom: You can’t live always; and when you die you can’t take your money along with you—so what will you have? Where will you be, and what will you do then? You will have to leaveeverything behind you when you die.S.: I suppose I will have to.Tom: Of course you will have to; and how much have you got stored up on the other sidefor you? How much good have you done in your life? You have only just looked out for yourselfevery time.S.: Oh dear! you startle me so.Tom: Why should I startle you? I am sorry for you, and so is your sister Rebecca.S.: I never had anyone talk to me that way before.Tom: It is my pleasure as a spirit to help poor souls like you, because you are poor.S.: I have thought sometimes I would try and get religion and live a better life.Tom: Religion won’t do you any good.S.: Then why do you talk to me in that way? I thought you wished me to get religion.Tom: No; but I want you to live a more unselfish life, and be kind to those about you. It ismy mission to help poor souls like you. There are a great many people who make the change calleddeath and don’t know it, and you know it is very bad for you to get angry; you know the last timethe doctor saw you he told you you must avoid that, because you know you have that heart trouble.S.: I can’t help being angry. I have a temper, I know, but I can’t help it.Tom: That quarrel you had with James your coachman was very bad for you; and a greatmany people die and don’t know they are dead—isn’t that funny?S.: Why, yes, that seems strange.Tom: And these people that are dead and don’t know it go hunting around, and they giveexpression to the thoughts that were last in their mind before they made the change called death;you know just simply dying don’t change you at all. You are just the same individual; the spiritonly escapes from the physical body. Now you mustn’t be frightened when I tell you you have madethat change called death, and that is why you couldn’t get anyone to pay any attention to you,because they don’t know you are there.S.: Oh, dear me!Tom: It is true.S.: Oh, no—oh, no—it isn’t true.Tom: It is so, or how could you be talking to me in the way you are, and how could you seeme as a spirit? You never saw a spirit before, did you?S.: I never saw anything like that before.Tom: If you hadn’t moved out of your old body, you couldn’t see me that way.S.: You are a very strange man. I never saw anyone like you in my life before.Tom: No, of course not, because you never saw anyone in this way before.S.: It cannot be.Tom: It is so.S.: Oh, no.Tom: Hold up your hand now, and you will see something go from it.S.: I do. Oh, mercy! I am dropping to pieces.(She is dematerialised and rematerialised.)S.: Oh, I never could imagine that death was like this before. It must be that I havechanged some way.Tom: Yes, you have; but you weren’t aware when you made that change, because you diedvery suddenly in anger, and that was bad for you.S.: What will I do?Tom: Do you want to turn me out now?S.: No, don’t go.Tom: Just look about you now.S.: Strange—strange.
265Tom:, Yes, you have left everything behind you now; you can t take anything with you;in the life you are in now everything is known, and good deeds count more than wealth; you haveno use for money now; you have entered a new life—a life of eternity.S.: What will I do? What shall 1 do? What will become of me?Tom: You will meet much that will be unpleasant to you, for your whole past life will riseup before you like an open book, and each mistake will have to be corrected, and each wrong willhave to be atoned for by labour and sincere soul-repentance; you will be aided and assisted bymany bright spirits, who have passed on and up through the valleys into the heights of wisdom. Ifyou sincerely desire it, it will be extended to you; follow the instructions that are given you, and youcan work out the mistakes of the past.S.: I feel terribly.Tom: Yes, you are alone, as it were, in a strange country. How many kind acts did you do inyour life that you sent on before? They would be a great benefit and help to you now. All the wrongmust be met and overcome by labour and repentance, and when I leave the young man you go withme.S.: Where? Where?Tom : I will take you where you can be helped, for you cannot wish to remain in thisunpleasant condition; I will take you where you will be aided and instructed pertaining to your newlife, and how to correct the mistakes of the past. You are being aided now by spirits who haveclothed your spirit body with earth conditions, to enable you to speak and converse with me andthese friends in the manner you have.S.: I don’t understand it at all.Tom: No, but you will.S.: I am lost—altogether lost.Tom: Yes; but you will be able to comprehend it more in time. You cannot understand fullyyour condition at once; but when I tell you that you have made the change called death, and you arein the spirit life, it is true; and when I tell you that many make that change and are not aware of it,because the life seems so nearly like the one they were in, that is all true.S.: Oh dear! When you tell me that, it seems like something shutting down over me.Tom: Yes; and now I will leave the young man, and take you and give you in charge ofthose who will aid you and assist you. Will you go?S.: Are they strangers?Tom: Yes; but they will assist you.S.: I am afraid.Tom: Do not be afraid; they assist you with love, kindness, and sympathy; they only wish tohelp you out of your darkened condition.S.: Well, I must; everything else has left me. It has gone away; I am alone; I have nohome. Don’t go away, sir; don’t.Tom: I won’t go away; and if I do, I will leave you in charge of those who will care for youkindly. Your sister loves you very dearly, and she would like to have you work and obey all theinstructions that are given you, so that you may reach her as soon as possible.S.: Tell her to come to me.Tom: She will in time, when you are prepared to go to her. Now I will leave the young man,and we will go.Through these conversations with Tom we are able to draw them into magnetic currents incompanies, so we can reach their conditions; and it would be impossible for us to explain how manywe reach in this simple manner.— EVA.
