and independence with his former teacher being always with him to explain and help; no more than when one graduates from school or college it would be right for his former teacher always to accompany him.

If you would truly help him, it were best to let him meet these experiences alone, and thus put to the proof the truths you have given him. Only thus will his soul grow and develop into that which he wishes to become.

Symbolic dreams come beforehand, for they are really the experience of meeting and working out a problem first in the soul realm; and the memory of it is given in order to help when the problem is faced in the outer. —THE EDITOR.

MY INTELLIGENT friend, try this once: Try to think of nothing, absolutely nothing, taking no thought for the morrow, or the next moment. I doubt your success in the attainment of such a state of mind: but if you are happily successful, you will remember to the end of your allotted years on earth how great was the sense of rest, of peace, of perfect joy, felt—not thought of—in that moment.

Could you attain and then retain such a mental state for half an hour, you would become clairvoyant and clairaudient during that time, and could both see and hear across the leagues of earth; aye, and be conscious of futurity, so that a prophecy then made by you would be found to come true in every detail. —From A Dweller on Two Planets.
