that ever directed my efforts. If I failed to see It—if I saw It but to deny It—that, too, was cast up against me.

As each trial on earth ended, if the total to my credit was greater, this Ray became larger and brighter. So it goes on, a seemingly endless chain.

Of my Real Life I remember more and more, as the dream life on earth grows dimmer and dimmer. So often have I contemplated those who have wished to recall their past dream lives on earth, and so often have I wished to admonish them about so doing; for, brother, where your thoughts are, there are your desires also, and who of you dare wish to be chained to a life on earth—to the ashes of the past? Has it not been said, “ashes to ashes and dust to dust?” Why then be concerned about the ashes, when the Real alone has value.

But, the Real Life! How beautifully it stands out, with one’s Ray of Light ever growing larger and brighter; until finally the Light is all that the Soul is!

Well do I remember when I passed my Real Life in a place of beauty and light that even now it dazzles my eyes to remember. These and memories like them are being made more lasting and real, so that they are recalled even during earth experiences. More and more of the Real Life is being revealed to ascending Souls; some of whom it is decreed are to come but once more.

Many call earth life the school of experience, and it is so; but the examinations are all held in the Real Life and the Soul is taught what to reject and what to accept. One is then sent back to transmute what he, in the light of Infinite Love and Wisdom, rejected as unworthy. He descends with only the realization of certain lessons to be learned. If he fails, he is not only held responsible for his own failure, but for the failures of his brothers on the same plane of consciousness whom he had misled by his example and precept. For we are indeed our brother’s keepers, though of this we may be yet unaware. It does not save us, however; for sins of ignorance are as great as those deliberately committed.

In the Real Life we know all this, and as it becomes more deeply engraved upon us as Souls, we (as our credit balance in- creases and our Rays become more intense) are enabled to know and do consciously what we returned to earth to do.
