“I had cried myself to sleep because I felt so sorrowful over the other dear soul not coming to us. If you will remember, I wrote you about it when I started with the Sun Center Work—how a speeding car had nearly run over me, and our dog had jumped upon me and so frightened me that it caused us to be denied the joy of that dear soul.

“Sometimes later I awoke. The room was dark, but I lay there feeling so joyous, uplifted and happy. Then in the doorway of the room appeared a vivid golden Light, and out of it a voice said, ‘You have seen the Light.

(Undoubtedly, for a babe’s soul spends very little time with the body—only enough to enable it to grow. It is only then when called back by its mother’s love, or by the loving attention of others. In fact it usually takes seven years for the soul to bring its full consciousness down into this new brain-mind, as can be noted by studying the babe’s and later the child’s growing ability to respond to outside stimuli.
