Those Who Seek and Have the Long to Ings

Those Who Seek and Have the Long to Ings

re ad ‘ I beg you all who this book to be gene rous in your criticism for I wrote it purely and solely wi th love and help for those who have had like experiences and for those who seek and have the long to ings . find love , wisdom and I peace as have wished to have . I have had the experience that there v is a world of lo e , where hate , jealousy and selfishness cannot come . Due to my material instruction on science of numbers , combined fi ve with my spiritual instruction , I write you the story of the higher and lower self as the invisible forces taught it to me for the pu r oi pose guiding me , giving me many experiences , helping me over f severe suf erings , encouraging me to observe , test and prove their teachings . I dedicate this book to th e truth seekers and to the unseen powers who have lighted my path . six The reason for writing this book is due to the encouragement from both the visible and invisible influences . My invisible helpers W ere those of the great beyond , those who passed over into the spirit land , also the forces of na ture which the Theosophical books call nature spirits . O ff and on these have been th e only true friends I have known . There were times in my life , when I experienced the remark of severe ! Jesus the Christ who said , My servants are not of this world . I had these experiences when I was a mere child . Parents I had none , for my dear mother passed to the other side of life when I was r six yea s of age . This left me with strangers . My childish heart ached for the r retu n of my mother and her love , th e . only love I had My mother , who was of a religious turn of mind , had taught me to pray . t Naturally, after her dea h , I prayed for her return . Return she did , but it seemed strange to me . She taught me that she was not dead but could not stay wi th me . She said that I must wait until I should be able to come to her . Her teaching was always for good , to be a good girl and learn to read eigh t the Bible , and to pray every day. As I grew older my experiences r inc eased , but many times I could not understand . The unseen forces taught me th e s and meanings of color , ound the science of numbers , and as I grew older I could prove many things t ma erially by investigating , test ing and proving their teachings to my own satisfaction afterwards . I tried to explain my experience but to those who had me in charge , they could not understand me and simply thought me impossible and r my words imagina y and idle talk . Such treatment caused me to go alone , and so my life became filled t . v wi h ideals I lo ed the beautiful , —m art and music , y little being v was so full of lo e . By those with Whom I came in contact I was nine l thought emotional and foo ish . All were so cold and without feel ing for such longings and such love as I felt . Because of this , as time went on , I began to fear their \ remarks ! they were so cruel and I was so unhappy in their presence . When I was not wanted , I wan dered away by myself , asking within myself why my mother w . ent away Before I realized it , behold ! she would stand before me and answer my question . At times r when she did not appear , othe s would come in her place and also teach me many things . These ex p e rienc es gave me some peaceful moments , but caused me to grow up and live in a world all by my self . Just because no one wanted me nor were they interested in my th e life , I looked for companion of ship the unseen world often , to seek their advice and question ’ them about the why s and whe re ’ b e fore s of my life , and so they came my only friends . The people , who had me in charge , did not think it necessary v to gi e me an education , even though my heart longed for wis dom , art and music , love and peaceful surroundings . No mat te r what I sacrificed I was unable to make people understand me . And still the visions came . At n ight when I was asleep , I dreamed I went to school , and , upon awakening I remembered what I had been taught , and later found the truth of these teachings . As I grew up I was told to investi gate and prove these teachings to ele ven myself by looking up the ref c renees in the library . All this I was told to do by the invisible forces . The voices were audible to me , visions were shown me , and in time it was proven to me and t s t e o her that , hat which I r ceived were great truths . During the day the forces guided me most wonderfully . Years went by before I ever read or even saw books that re lated to such experiences as I had from v n childhood on . Before I e er k ew of Theosophy , I was told by the spirit world of my past live s and in many laws besides . These visible powe rs directed me to find the Theosophical society which exists on earth today . So when I learned about it and its teachings , taking time to investigate and tweIve study same , I found to my delight th e material proof of all the te ach ings th e spiri t world had given me before I knew of Theosophy . This gave me more courage and faith in myself . It also taught thos e who thought I was imag t ining hings as they said , when I tried to explain my experiences , to at least give me their partial at tention . Krotona When I was at , our dear dean and teacher , Mr . K Krotona Augustus nudson , , en Hollywood , California , cou rage d me to write my ex e riences p , and with the help of my r dea , beloved friend , Mrs . Pauline ' A lthofi Oesau , who has ex e rienced p many things with me , I succeeded in compiling this book . thirteen W e h i h n I.

No matter what nationality we are , no t mat er what creed we have , no — at- - matter what color , one ment is the law . Some already live more in the th e higher self , spoken of as God like or unselfish expression . Others live more in their lower self , known as worldly or selfish . Those who live in the higher self are with God and love their brother as they love themselves and do for their brother - man as well as for self . Those who live in the lower self love the world and look out for self only , and do their brother man . ’ You , I and everybody s story of ’ th e emotions of each o n e s lower and higher s e lf is here put down eigh teen for those who seek happi n ess on t t v t ear h hrough lo e , beau y, wis dom , power , wealth and fame .
