only behold spiritual things. This is the
law of nature. This new head unfo.ded
more and more distinctly; and so indiscyi-
badly compact and intensely brilliant did
i. become, that [ could neither see
through it nor gaze upon it as steadily as
! desired. While this spiritual head was
being eliminated and organized from out
of, and above, the material head, | saw
that the surrounding armoral atmosphere
which had emanated from the material
head was in great commotion; but as the
new head became more distinct and per-
feet, this atmosphere gradually disappear
ed. This taught me that those armorat
elements, which were, in the beginning of
the melamorphosis, attracted from the
system into the brain, aud thence elina-
ted in the form Of an atmosphere, were
indissolubly united in accordance with
the divine principle of affinity in the
universe, which rervades and destnates
every particle of matter, and developed
the spiritual head which beheld.
With inexpressble wonder, and with
a heavenly and unutterable reverence,
gazed upon the holy and harmonious pro-
cesses that were going on before me.
In that identical manner in which the
spiritual head was eliminated srd un-
changeably organized, l saw, unfolding
IN their natural, progressive orGer, the
harmonious development of the neck,
the shoulders, the breast and the entire
spiritual organization. 1t appeared from
this, even to the unequivocal demonstra-
ton. that innumerable particles of what
might be termed unpartic!ed matter
which constitutes the mans Spiritual
principle are eonstitutiona!iy endowed
with certain elective atfintives anala-
gous TO an immortal friendship. The in
nate tendencies, which the elements and
essence of her soul manifested by uni
ting and organizing themselves were the
efficient and imminent causes winch un-
folded aud perfected her spiritual organ
ization. The defects aud determines of
her physical body, were in the spiritual
body which | saw thus developed almost
completely removed. In other words, it
aud influences were now removed which
originally arrested the full and proper
developn2ent cf her physical constitution;
aud therefore, that her spiritual constitu-
ton, being elevated above these obstruc-
tons, was enabled to unfold and perfect
itself IN accordance with the universal
tendencies of all created things.
While this spiritual formation was 60
ing on, which was perfectly Visible TO
my spiritual perceptions, the material
body manifested TO the outer vision or
i; ;,,;l Ic ho
symptoms of uneasiness ard pain; but
these iaaica tious were totally deceptive
they were wholly caused by The departure
Of the vital aud spif;tual forces from the
extremities and vi<cera and the brain and
thence in the ascending organism.
The spirit arose at right angels over
the head or brain of deserted body. But
Immediately previous to the iinal dssolu-
ton of the relationship which had for so
many years sutsisled between HE two
spiritual and material bodies, L saw
playing energeticalIy between the feet Of
tne elevated spiritual body and The head
of the PROSTATE physical body-a bright
stream of current of vital elecIr!city.-
This taught me, that what Is cnstonarily
termed Death is but a Birth of spirit
from lower iuto higher state; ihat all
inferior body and mode of existence are
exchanging for superior body are cores
pondiug endowment and capabilities Of
happiness. l learned that the corresp pom
dence between the birth of a child iE,o
this world, aud the birth Of the spirit
from the material body into the higher
wofld. is absolute aud complete even to
the un6iLic0t cord, which was gepresent-
ed by a thread of vital electricity. which,
for few minutes subsisted between, and
connected the TWO organisms together.
And here J perceivd what never had be-
fore obtained knowledge Of tha; small
portion of t.i,S vital oiectriC&' element re-
turned to the deserted body, lsnuiinediate-
ly subsequent tc the separation OF the
umbilica. thread; and that that portion
of this element which passed back 10 the
earthly organism, Instantly di!!used Itself
through the entire structure, aud thus
prevented immediate decomposition.
1t is not proper that body should be
deposited IN the earth until after decom-
position has positively commenced; for
should there be no positive evidences OF
such structural change even though lite
seems to have surely departed. il is not
right to consign the body TO the grave.
The umbilical life cord, of which | speak
is sometimes not severed but is drawn
out into the finest possible medium OF
sympathies connected between the body
and the spirits. This is invariably the
case when individuals apparently die
and after being absent for few days or
hours, returns, as from peaceful Jour-
new. to relate their spiritual experience.
Such phenomen are moderately terineu

spiritual Extasy. There are many dif-
| ferent stages of diversions, and subdiver-
