Life Here and Hereafter
This is the second and final book (that I am aware of) from medium, Charlotte Elizabeth Dresser.
Here is a description of the book by Geoff Cutler from his site: New-Birth.net:
“This is a continuation of “Spirit World and Spirit Life”
by Charlotte Elizabeth Dresser, also a fabulous book. Actually
however, it is a very different book, and is only partly her
work.
For me this book was really a missing link. The missing link
between “30 Years among the dead” and the various
Padgett related messages on life after death. It is a large
number of case studies of a human working with a celestial
support group tasked with awakening these recently departed
folks – presumably in the Astral Plane, although that is not
stated.
Finally I have a very clear idea of how the many of us typically
awaken in the next realm. And it’s a sad scene. All too many
mortals awake into darkness and confusion, with minds in a
dream state, unable to see anything or hear anything. Some
are relatively quickly taught how to awaken their spiritual
sight, and hearing, and then progress as expected. Some are
so caught up in their original earth beliefs, that they take
a lot of work to awaken, insisting that they are not dead,
because they are “alive” etc. Others (relatively
few) may apparently take centuries to come out of this zombie
like state. These are not folks that are bad either, just
folks who never gave a thought to life after death. One can
see how “earth bounds” occur, and one case of obsession
is handled as well, although very interestingly this is a
case of two ex-mortals being attached to another ex-mortal.
I did not imagine obsession of one spirit by another could
occur.
This book also has two very interesting sections right at
the end. One is on the subject of thoughts, and how they actually
influence the mind. The other is on the location of what I
suspect is the First Sphere.”
