For he was perfectly aware that fear, and a sickening kind of repulsion, formed a very large element in his emotions. For nearly two hours, unless three persons had lied consummately, he--his essential being, that sleepless self that underlies all--had been in strange company, had become identified in some horrible manner with the soul of a dead person.

Book Excerpt: But there was no great need for caution at present. The oldpriest who had spoken to him before stepped a little in advanceof the rest, and turning, said in a low sentence or two to theBenedictines; and the group stopped, though one or two stilleyed, it seemed, with sympathy, the man who awaited him. Then thepriest came up alone and put his hand on the arm of the chair."Come out this way," he whispered. "There's a path behind, Monsignor, and I've sent orders for the car to be there."The man rose obediently (he could do nothing else), passed downthe steps and behind the canopy. A couple of police stood therein an unfamiliar, but unmistakable uniform, and these drewthemselves up and saluted. They went on down the little pathwayand out through a side-gate. Here again the crowd was tremendous, but barriers kept them away, and the two passed on togetheracross the pavement, saluted by half a dozen men who were pressedagainst the barriers--(it was here, for the first time, that thebewildered manRead Mo

The third book of a series of spirit communications from Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, received clairaudiently by medium Anthony Borgia, who later checked the accuracy of what he had written with Benson through a good trance medium with whom he sat for 25 years. In these eight chapters, as well as giving insights on spirit-world life, the building of an extension to his home and other conditions, Monsignor comments on important topics, such as beauty, service, religious unity and how to achieve world-wide peace. Although originally transmitted at the end of World War II, his words still apply to our lives today, particularly in regard to unity and world peace. He writes; "The realms of light teem with colour ... The trees, the flowers, the grass, the very soil in which these grow and thrive, the water, whether It be of sea, river or lake, are revelations of colour in every shade, blend and tint." "As the buildings are set amid beautiful gardens with a wealth of flowers and trees and lawns, the colour of the edifice must accord with its environment and not, by the power of its vividness, overwhelm the hues of nature itself." "The water is wet and sparklingly clear, the light is bright and beautiful. The clothes we wear feel exquisite to the touch." Contents 1. My Home Enlarged 2. Past, Present, Future 3. Colour 4.
