About This Book

A sequence of automatic letters presented as communications from a recently deceased individual and transcribed by a living interlocutor, offering sustained reflections on postmortem existence, perception beyond the physical, and spiritual progress. Through episodic missives the writer describes otherworldly landscapes, encounters with departed souls, moral and metaphysical instruction, and symbolic treatments of memory, time, and hierarchical order among unseen beings. The collection blends anecdote, philosophical exposition, and poetic passages to sketch an imaginative afterlife and suggest attitudes and practices for ethical growth and deeper comprehension of life beyond the corporeal realm.

LETTER III
GUARDING THE DOOR

YOU need to take certain precautions to protect yourself against those who press round me.

You have only to lay a spell upon yourself night and morning. Nothing can get through that wall—nothing which you forbid your soul to entertain.

Do not let any of your energy be sucked out of you by these larvæ of the astral world. No, they cannot annoy me, for I am now used to the idea of them. You have absolutely nothing to fear, if you protect yourself.
