EXTRA-MUNDANE LIFE

TO THE EDITOB OF TUE PRESS. Sir, —In reply to “Terrene,” my previous letter was an endeavour to give a clear and understandable account of how spirit was the basis of all life working through matter and promoting all growth; that it is not confined to the world terrestrial, but finds its fullness In the celesSir Oliver Lodge has pointed out that science has no cognition beyond the earth’s surface. But we are learning, slowly, it seems, of the ether, that there are different grades of ether, and In those worlds of ether Interpenetrating each other, are life and form. Our limited range of sight and hearing prevents us from seeing those forms vibrating In the ether; but we find that the photographic plate, or film, records the presence of the unseen forms and features of those who have passed on from this mundane life. Some, there are, who. with a range of vision and audibility beyond the ordinary, can see them, and are conscious by the sense of touch and smell of their presence Life does not. consist of one octave only. There are higher notes of scale as well as lower. To confound one octave, with the whole gamut, is absurd when one comes to think of It. Fortunately. the exploration of the unknown goes on apace. Explorers are making tracks to-day that will be the highways of to-morrow. Consolidation goes on all the time by those who follow', and the obscure of 1920 becomes perfectly plain in 1937.—Yours, etc., E. M. LOVELL-SMITH. P.S.—For those who wish to study the subject, there is in our midst a library of some 800 volumes. June 4, 1937.
