lists. The claim is made that they
come to him while in the privacy of
his home. In speaking of the mes
sages from his departed wife Mr..
Simon says:
They came to me through auto
matte writing. beginning July II,
1919. and ending few weeks later,
on August Z. The first message was
published some time ago and the Sec
ond is now out. The third. fourth.
fifth, sixth messages have evolved,
each sufficient material for book.
The seventh is developing at this
time. 1 write an hour or SO on con-
secutive or alternate days.
The first book. through extensive
review, has impressed for comfort:
There are many who believe as l
know. Others consider it as phe-
others as pathological. My own tes-
timony may be of little value.
These messages would seem Sc
quential unfolding of spiritual condi-

called the greatest unfolding since
Swedenborg My reading. thought
and interests have not led me into
these paths. Neither my wife nor l
were spiritualists. and I do not re.
mmber ever hearing her speak OF
this subject.
Anne Simon possessed an unusual
power to stimulate for ideals and full
ailments. of which she often spoke.
Her professional interests were mu-
sic and literature. Our bond, as
ness, and many of our friends expect
ed such communication as has oc-
Cured.

and are developing. 1 do not know
when the last may evolve. There
would seem to be strong logical Sc
quence of thought. beauty and unfold

They evolve ever to the higher love.

Here are a number of excerpts from
the second message:

Anne Simon, your loving wife. l am
again filled with the higher emana-
tions. influences that come from the
spirit-souls that have been purified
through love and beauty until they
are nearest to the innermost heart
throb of the great source Of all-love
and life. This is then the second mes
sage which has come to you. 1t is not
the further consideration of the NOR
tai earth-man, and it's spiritual sig
nificance should reach. even in a
larger degree than the first message,
the hearts and profoundest conscious
ness of the mortal Of the earthw world.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
such earth-beings should awaken and
encourage in themselves greater
heart serenity. calmer poise. a
deeper probe into the God-essence
within them, the germ and central
pulsating force of which is love. 1t
is for them to become less material.

that it is but Pickering faith.
mortal. the higher development of
mortals of other worlds and systems
has been perfected to it's higher spirit
ual development through the efficacy
and realization of the power of asking
and demanding. So those mortals of
man have advanced to higher stages;
and SO will the earth-man advance as
he comes to a more perfect realization
of what l have told you.
"On the higher mortal planes man is
also in higher intuitional state, and
approximating the conditions on the
spiritual planes. There is partial

So the earth-mortal, as 1 have told
you. is developing toward this. There
is higher degree of happiness among
the creation of the higher mortal
planes, because the veil has been par
TALLY lifted. and the pickering faith
of the earth-world has been changed
to a higher conviction.
"As I explain this higher mortal
development of other mortal-worlds
let the earth-man realize that he is
tending toward this. This higher in
tuitional faculty is the sixth sense:
and with it's use. appreciation and
growth the other senses have also
Glide into the spiritual senses. The
sense of taste and that of actual
touch. Of the senses 1 have mentioned,
however, are not of the same value
in the spiritual world
Sight. hearing and the keen sense
for perfume and fragrance. on the
other hand. are significant in their
increase and spiritual values on the
spiritual planes. So the mortal earth
man of the far future will be in
higher state of development than is
the. earth-man of the present time.
The passing over of the latter is an
episode in the mortal life of a less
developed nature. His higher devel-
opm ent will be on the spiritual planes.
II have written of the more de-
veloped mortal planes. The idea of
the return of the mortal soul after it
has once passed into the spiritual
places Is erroneous. A new germ of
life is given to each new baby Of
mortal life. 1t is fixed by certain
laws Of heredity and certain alb
sorption from the baby, unconscious
ly. of the emanations; each baby diff
fering from another baby in this. The
laws of heredity do not fix the
boundary. Our emanations make the
unusual fluctuations of characteristics
and talents. sometimes by which one
member of a family may stand out
