LIFE IN SPIRIT by Harry Edwards / 1976 / 225 pages.
This is the story of
John and Mary - any John, any Mary, brother and sister,
husband and wife, sweethearts, friends. This is the story
of you and me, but with this difference: John and Mary
have 'died' and have entered into their new 'life in
spirit'. Harry Edwards, known throughout the world as our
foremost spiritual healer and the author of many books on
healing, paused in his busy life to contemplate what the
Spirit world might really be like. The result of these
deliberations is all here in fascinating and intricate
detail as he describes various facets of spirit life as
he envisages it......its architecture and how things are
constructed through the manipulation of spirit energies;
ho time and change is measured in spirit life; how travel
is accomplished and communication is established. There
are vivid descriptions of the halls of learning, The
Animal Kingdom, The Nurseries of Heaven and so on; and
his account of a spirit concert as a galaxy of colour,
light, movement and music has a breathless quality of
beauty and inspiration. Needless to say, spiritual
healing is well featured with scintillating observations
upon the spirit science whereby healings are
accomplished. The story of John and Mary might be
considered by some as pure fantasy, but as Harry Edwards
himself says in the book 'I am my severest critic, for I
readily acknowledge that there need not be any truth
whatsoever in the story of John and Mary - it may all be
nothing more than the product of my imagination'. How
much of the narrative is his imagination is for the
reader to assess; but as Edwards the Healer becomes
Edwards the Visionary, giving full reign to an amalgam of
a searching imagination coupled with such vividly
descriptive writing in Spirit, which flowed freely,
without a word of preliminary preparation, indicates that
it could not be anything other than Spirit inspired.
Perhaps this is not surprising, for it is not generally
known that in addition to his healership, Harry Edwards
was a medium of exceptional calibre and perception and in
this book, he reveals the finer qualities of a rare
mediumship which draws apart the veil of that great
spiritual heritage which awaits us all.
