The witnesses..in the court trial..portray
Knowledge,..Drunkenness,..Misery,..Sickness,..Miserliness..and Robbery.

Love,*..the young maiden,..cherishes a true,..*deep affection..for the hero;
she dwells..in the same abode..with Frivolity,
who entertains..an unrequited love-sentiment..for Selfishness.
(Here is shown..the close association..in life of the Truth and Falsity.)

Truth enters..and proposes to Love,..who accepts him;
he then departs..and is followed*..by Selfishness,..who desires Love..*for himself.

When his advances are rejected,..Frivolity,..with her most fascinating coquetries,endeavors to charm the Ruffian..*(Selfishness)..from Love to herself.

This angers him and..he threatens her with death,
then leaves..in a rage,[must be..some ancient means..of travel..
[or travail]..as he is swearing to kill..his rival,..*Truth.

Love..writes a frantic note of warning..to her lover..and hastily sends her servant to
deliver the message.. but the servant arrives too late,..for Selfishness has attacked Truth by..the way-side..and fatally wounded him in a..s-word duel.

[see why i put off doing this
to me words are sacred..sacred/words..=..s/words
but its all so much drama]..but on with the show

Truth dies..a lingering death,
representing the murder..of man's higher nature..by self-ishness.

The servant hurries back to his mistress..with the news of the death of her lover.

She..rushes to the place of the attack..and,
finding Truth dead,..falls on her knees beside him.

[this would be so much easier..if you got it now
not have to sit through drama's like these later]

..With a prayer..she draws her dagger..and stabbing herself,..dies.
[see here i would put in the truth of death transition..but back to the script]

When Selfishness..sees that Love,..*as well as
Truth,..is dead he becomes infuriated,..[hey a transition..
yet another oppertuinity to explain..crossing over...missed]

[infuriated..'selfishness]..declares there is no God
and..swears that he will..have fullest revenge.

[this is a drink..best served in small cups]

[infuriated selfishness...high on revenge]...then
..An officer,..Justice,..[who comes to get just-us]..arrives,
and handcuffing the murderer,..

and takes him..[the multiple transitory..*infuriated..high on revenge...selfishness]..*into custody,..after which follows..

the funeral..of the lovers...[truth..and love]

[no mention is made re the mourners..names
but lets presume..a generalised mix including the rouges..pitty...why me...poor me
mr widow...and the greedy nephew..peue...the weeeping mouner..and a collection of [past joiders and hanger on's..officiated by the high priest intoning his charge]

ANYHOW..

Justice..brings selfishness..before the Judge,*Wisdom,..lol
..and at the trial the witnesses,Knowledge,..Drunkenness,..Misery,
Sickness,..Miserliness..and Robbery all testify..that had it not been
..for..Selfishness,..Love./.and Truth would not have died..had not died.

Wisdom then banishes Selfishness..from the land.
note no jury was [present...and no lawyer]..no bailif...etc
but one can get too carried away with the sacredness in word..so lets..move-on]

During a psychic circle..held at our Institute,in May,..1923,
in his book “Our Second American Adventure,”..Sir Arthur briefly described the play,

commenting further:
“It was certainly a most extraordinary performance
and left us all in a state of amazed admiration . . .

“I have seen all the greatest actresses of my generation,
Modjeska,..Bernhardt,..Duse,Terry
but I do not think..that any one of them..could have played these..
eleven parts..without a stage..or a costume..in so convincing a way.

“The spirits' own account..is that they are a band of players
on the other side,..who re*present this play..before the undeveloped dead
in order to teach them..the moral,..and that they use the wonderful mediumship
of Mrs. Wickland..in order to demonstrate their*power..to us mortals.

It was very impressive.”

Recently these invisible performers..have presented through Mrs.Wickland
another drama,..“The Soul's Passion Play,”..symbolical of the development of the soul.

In “The Morality Play,”..Selfishness kills Truth,
and causes the death of Love..

while in..“The Soul's Passion Play,”..Truth and Love conquer Selfishness.

“The Soul's Passion Play”..represents the contest of the Soul
with opposing principles and symbolizes the victory
of Truth and Love over Selfishness..through Understanding,and the attainment of Bliss.

Dwelling in the Home of Happiness,..with Obedience*..as the servant,
are Kindness and Friendship,..father and mother of the maiden,..Love.

Truth,..a young man,..admires Love,
while Selfishness,..another maiden..
who is found..in the same society with Love,

but..whose father,..and mother..are Hatred and Envy,..
living in the Home..of Unhappiness,

who..*boldly..attempts to attract..the young man to herself.

Truth finally wins Love..
and they are united..in marriage,

after having sent Selfishness..away from..the Home of Happiness.

Selfishness,..overcome by jealousy and humiliation,
goes to seek some means of revenge in the slums,..where,
in the Home of Misery,..lives the villain Revenge..with his father and mother,..Temptation and Evil.

Together,..as time goes on,..they plot that Selfishness..shall return
to the Home of*Happiness..and, pretending repentance,..wait for an
opportunity..to steal the child Victory..,which has been born..to Love and Truth.

The child..is to be given to Evil,
who will bring him up..*in squalor and sordidness,
forcing him to commit crimes..and finally become imprisoned.

Selfishness will then go to Love and Truth,..tell them
of the disgrace of Victory,..and,with Revenge,
gloat over the ruin..of the Home of Happiness.

Selfishness succeeds in stealing Victory,
who, for some years, is cruelly mistreated by
Evil and Temptation,..but is at last discovered..by his parents..and taken away/from the..Home of Misery.

Enraged at her defeat,..Selfishness becomes insane
through anger..and dies a violent death.

Truth and Love..bring Victory back into the Home of Happiness,
and there,..with selflessness..*Selfishness vanquished,..and they all..dwell together in Bliss.

CHAPTER XVII
Conclusion

Demonstrative evidence..clearly indicates..that much which now seems mysterious..can be brought to light..by appropriate research.

“The supernatural..is only the*..natural not yet understood.”

Psychical research should he placed on..a scientific basis,..and made safe and sane..by eliminating the dwellers on the threshold of the unseen,..who,

through deception..and falsehood,
frequently pervert the truth which the enlightened spirit intelligences are constantly endeavoring to convey to humanity.

Advanced intelligences on the invisible side continually urge that broad minded investigators..*on the physical plane cooperate with them..in establishing research centers in asylums,..churches,..universities and other institutions.

It is imperative that psychical research should be in the hands of men of science,..men who are willing to set aside prejudice..and,..with unbiased minds,..weigh the evidence and
classify findings.

this work of investigation..‘is the most important work which is
being done in the world by far the most important.’”

Scientific bodies,..*willing to thoroughly master and observe the governing laws,..*could readily obtain evidence..similar to that presented in this volume.

There is little sympathy;..all want only what they..can get from others through moneymaking/schemes.

In time..this money scheme*..[scam[..will fall to pieces.

We should study..the other side of life..as well as this,
when we are on earth...If you..want to become a minister..doctor,..lawyer or lecturer

you have to study*..to acquire..*knowledge.
Why should we not study..*ourselves?

It is very important..that all on earth should know
where they are going..after passing..out of the physical,..for they will then go..to the right place..and will not stay in the homes
they have left.

Without this knowledge..many do not realize
they are dead and they remain in their earthly homes...Some one of the family may be sensitive..and may become obsessed.

Then the doctors will declare..that person insane..and send him to the asylum,..for there is..*no pity for one..who is controlled by earthbound spirits.

People should be taught..*the truth,then,
when they pass out,..they will look for the spirit_world..and FUIND..a happy place beyond..instead of a fictitious..“Heaven.”

Heaven or hell..is only a condition..*within yourself
and “Heaven”..*must be found within
before you can be..happy..in the spirit world.

Some say:..“What is the spirit world?”
The spirit world..is a counterpart of this
with only one exception...here you are thrown*together..with every sort of person,..*while there you cannot go..*anywhere..unless you have..the understanding..of where you are going...to.

The spirit side..of life is like a school
you progress by degrees...There is no belief.
You learn..where you belong..and where you are going.

It takes time to understand,..but
there is plenty of time..in eternity to study..and learn.

The time is not far distant..when people will open their eyes..and see,..and the churches..*will have..*circles and try to understand life.

next..
to tell you of the beautiful conditions..
we have..on the spirit side.

The greater number..think that when death comes..they will go*..*to a certain place..and..stay there..until the last of this earth.

The “Last Day”..is every day..that you throw away..selfishness and ignorance.

*That is
“Death.”

then*..again comes..re=birth..!

Life..*is Love..and Wisdom.

Let us die daily..to our ignorance..and selfishness.

Let us*awaken..to the truth..and..

an understanding of God/good

..who has given us that truth,..and who has sent forth His many messengers..to tell us..what life is*..on the other side.

It is a life which is/more spiritual,..more congenial..and more beautiful in every respect..than the one on earth.

When you have Truth..*in your heart..you are happy.

When you have selfishness..and ignorance..
in your heart you are sorrowful.

Sorrow will follow..you until you say:.“Not my will, but Thine.”

When others come..in your way..and try to keep you down,..rise
and say:..“No,..I will be firm,loving..gracefull..

BUT..I will conquer,”..and then you can create happiness..and contentment in your*soul,..and you will have happiness..*around you.


When you think only of selfishness and creeds you have sadness and sorrow,..and you*will have to burn these out..by suffering/the redemption price..[repairibng..the vile done..,and say:..“Not my will any longer,..but Thy will.”

Let us pray to God,..because He..is All in All.
He is with[in]..you all.

We could not live
one minute without that wonderful power.

Do not let us pray..to anyone else,..because..GOOD/
God..is within ourselves.

You do not need to go anywhere
except your own heart to pray to Him.

Have communion with God in your heart
and you do not need to take communion..outside.

When you have learned the truth..then communion..*is within you.

You do not/need to be reminded..to take communion with God
because..you know*,..He is there to help you...here/now..

You have opened your heart to God..and He has heard you..and you can then commune with Him...RIGHT NOW>>RIGHT HERE..Communion is not understood..*as it should be.

You take communion...It is only a reminder
that you should be united with God.

When you have learned..and have progressed higher
and higher..you do not need..*a physical reminder,..because you understand...*When you have communion..with God..you do not
need that m,aterial[bread and wine.]

You cannot..go anywhere without God.
God is in the air;.,.dirt..sound/wind..He is everywhere.

You..cannot walk on the earth..without stepping
*on..His creation,..and you should try to
understand His work.

There..has been..*so much theorizing...One..has one theory,..someone else..another. ..0ne goes into this corner,..another into that corner,

and..one says..this..*is the proper way,..and the other..says that is the proper way;..

all paths..lead to god

one has one creed,..and one has another...one one messenger..the other yet anopther mess-anger

They go around..in a little circle..and forget
they are*..in the midst of life,..of God..GOOD/Himself.

When you do..*a kind act..to another..*you do it..*unto God,
because he TOO..is one part*..of God..and you another.

We only serve God..*when we serve others.

Live to serve..and do all you can..*for others,
*then you will progress..in understanding.

To go to church..*to serve God..is only to remind you
of..*what you should..actually do.

Act,..and do..*good
to those..who are in trouble.

Why should you go to any MATERIAL_place..to worship..spirit?

“Enter into thy closet/..body..
and pray to thy Father..which is in secret.”

Pray earnestly..and your prayers..will be heard.
Do not pray idly,..but pray..for others..

pray/live..earnestly.
Live..so that people will know..you have done your duty..in life.

On the spirit side..we find it is difficult..to open the spiritual eyes of many...They are all*..so blinded by creeds..and dogmas..that we have to do all within our powe.. to help them/understand..*

that God..*did not make dogmas..and creeds,

but..that God..*made the Universe,and the people in it..*should worship Him*alone,..*without any creed or dogma.

When we understand..and realize love
not what people call love here,..but the love
which springs out everywhere...then love is*..like the sun.

When there is love..in your heart
you are like a sun to others.

You have found God in*..your heart
and this shines forth..just as the sun shines on all.

Those who have only creed,..dogma..and selfishness,
and are ignorant,..feel gloomy;..they have a fear of God,
*a fear of everything*..around them.

They have not opened their/souls'..*eyes..to ask for the light,..for understanding..of God...good..

These come..to the spirit side of life..*in darkness..and gather/together,..one group here,*..another there,..all in deep gloom.

They pray..and sing..*and moan*..from morning until night,
year after year.

It is very difficult..to make them understand
that they have passed..to the spirit side of life;

very hard for them..to wake up..and see the mistake they made in accepting dogmas..and creeds.

They have clothed themselves*..with gloom
and have shut out..the light/love..logic..*that
should..have been shining..*throughout their lives.

If you love God..in the sense I have spoken of,
then..*you will be happy.
