PREFACE IN the four volumes which it has been my privilege to transcribe at the dictation of intelligences who are in the wider life beyond earth is contained a word intended to be helpful to mens thinking. It is the wider lifes interpretation of the mans life in its relation to the Life man is Infinite, of the mans work on earth in its relation to the whole work of the self of man, and of the mans free will and purpose in their relation to the Omnipotent Will and Purpose of mans Maker. It is the interpretation of personal selves who were men, who have filislled the experience of mans life, and have achieved, through that experience, the personal worthiness which makes personal life ready for its emancipation from earth. It is the interpretation of those who remember the mans life, who remember what- helped and what harmed the personal self in the mans life, who know what men should be and do to win the life of freedom. It is the interpretation of those who were deep thinkers while they were men, who carried to the wider life minds disciplined by thought, who voice are no longer limited as men are to one little world, who, in the life of broadened horizon and broadened powers, comprehend as truth that which men may only conjecture. It is the interpretation of those who have not ody lived the broadest plans life, but are now living the wider life which comes to personal self after earth life is finislled forever. It is the testimony of those who assert unequivocally that they have told truth. It is the concurrent testimony of several witnesses, each of whom asserts, in his own way and in his own words, the truths which they all know. It is given to men that it may be a help to wise thinking and wise living. And he who reads seeking wisdom for his own problem of daily living and daily thinking will find it an unfailing aid. It would help a man to have faith in God, the Creator, confirmed. It is by this word from life beyond earth confirmed. It would help him to have faith in Christ, the Son of God, confirned. It is by this word confirmed. It mould help him to have faith that God purposes for all that He made now aid forever. T
