From one who has passed beyond and with love sends her revelations to help us tread the path of earthly trials in preparation for what lies ahead.

“I am like a creature hibernating, and yet at the same time, sloughing off a skin which I no longer will be needing. I feel, sometimes, like a snake gradually shedding its skin. These coils of lower density are slipping away from me. I am emerging from regrets of earth memories, from disillusions, from idealisations which become illusions, ephemeral and of no true worth. I am viewing each piece of skin which peels off from me in its right connection with the true Self which it served to obscure. And more and more I become thankful for the Reality which, God be praised, was there beneath the skin, all the time. This is the Self which is now becoming more and more outstanding, more revealed, more substantial.
That Self is substantial Light. I am trying not to become obscure, but one’s angle of vision alters on this plane of living. I realise that what is passing from me, like sloughing a skin, is insubstantial, impermanent, decomposing, as it drops from me into a dusty nothingness. What is left is essentially Light, is Reality, is permanent and is true. I call this my new Body of Light and that, indeed, is what it truly is. A Body of Light, not dense and material and dull and heavy as the physical body, not insubstantial, shadowy and unreal as the astral body in which I have been sheltering, but brilliant, ‘en-celled’ with Light, ethereal in that there is no weight, no dragging down into matter but is enmeshed with colour and beauty into form and substance. You must remember that I am forming this, my spiritual Body, or should I be more correct in saying I am merging into it.
That sounds a paradox but then much to which I am becoming adjusted here is paradoxical when viewed in the light of the restricted thinking of the human mind. I still have a mind, I still have a body, but both are inevitably changing and because of that I feel as if I am emerging, like a grub from a chrysalis, to a butterfly. Gradually I can function more readily and for deeper periods in my Body of Light, and in it, can commune with more advanced Souls and imbibe their wisdom.
I am trying to function more and more in this Body of Light. I cannot sustain it for long yet, but I have the joy and bliss of the certainty of a further expansion which is available to us all. This is the next step in progression, the stepping out of illusion into the consciousness of the functioning of the Higher Self, an emergence into a wider consciousness and an awareness of Spiritual Beings and of Forces from the All-Creative Mind of God. This is a gradual process and may take years (in earth consciousness of time) to fulfil. I feel as though I am starting on a Path of Light which leads upwards and onwards into Realms of unimaginable beauty and wonder and of which I have, as yet, but the faintest glimmer of comprehension. The journey itself is compensation enough for the trials of earth existence and for the emotion of judgment in action of those trials and of my individual response to them, from which judgment I am now emerging. I am reminded of a passage from an enlightened poet:
“There shall never be one lost good! What was shall live as before… On the earth the broken arcs, in the heaven, a perfect round. All we have willed or hoped or dreamed of good shall exist; not its semblance, but itself; no beauty, nor good, nor power whose voice has gone forth but each survives for the melodist when eternity affirms the conception of an hour. The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard, the passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard. Enough that he heard it once; we shall hear it by and by.“
