The Doors of Life
Walter DeVoe
(1909)
The Mortal Must Put On Immortality
I am continually receiving letters from those who mourn because their friends have journeyed into the realm invisible. This is the great journey that all must take, and we should not feel any more disturbance over it if we trusted our Creator, than we do when our friends make a journey of a thousand miles on the earth plane. It is true, they cannot return to us in their physical bodies, but all spirits will meet in a little while in that land where there are no partings.
We should not expect our friends to manifest to us in spirit immediately after their entrance into the new life, because they need to rest and prepare for work in that wider realm of spiritual endeavor. They must learn the conditions of life in the new land, and when they become strong, they can use the spiritual power of thought to help us overcome physical conditions.
When they first pass out of their mortal bodies, we can help their spirits to gain strength by holding affirmations of strength for them just as if they were still in the body. They are as close to us in the universal Mind as ever, and our minds can commune and give and receive blessings through the far-reaching power of thought. There cannot be any loss, because our minds will always be united, and as we go forward in this faith, we shall often feel the strengthening thought and encouraging presence of our beloved.
I can feel only soul joy over the release of a spirit from disabling physical conditions. I have seen the power of the Spirit exercised in behalf of those passing through a trying period of loss, so that they were astonished at the way their minds were held in Divine Peace, above the waves of mortal sorrow. They had a vivid consciousness of the truth that ALL IS WELL because their beloved were still in the arms of Eternal Love.
There is no awful journey past the portals of death.
We do not die. I know we do not die. I have realized that death is but as a sleep and an awakening. We merely wake up to a larger consciousness, as the child at birth wakes up to a greater expression of life. We are merely reborn into a new world, circumstances and people.
