Some excerpts from Beyond the Veil:
*
"From the central Vortex of Light streams forth throughout all the vast universes the Astral fluidic rays of creative energy, vivifying all germ-life, from that within the atom up to man and the highest seraph. These rays penetrate all matter with their life force, only expressed in mineral and rocks by assimilation and concretion; in vegetables, by organic life and growth; in animals, by sensation, instinct, and voluntary motion; while in Man all these powers and forces are merged in the supreme intelligence that comprehends, anticipates, and enjoys the two great factors-Infinite Progress and Immortal Life." (p. 175)

"I saw many great teachers from many spheres of widely distant systems all brought together in one grand fraternity of human love. How wonderful, O how sublime the conception All the earths in the immensity of space peopled with the children of one common Father, all members of one common family
"As I came into rapport with many of them, I saw they had the same interest in their native earth as we have in ours, and that they were looking for something better that is to come, showing that the eyes of the soul everywhere are turned toward a higher state. Progress is the law of all worlds." (p. 129)

"I now say to many of you, Feed my sheep; feed my lambs; yea, if ye love me, show them the way, the truth, and the life. Go back to Earth and teach all nations the Gospel of the true Resurrection and the laws of Eternal Life. Make plain the mystery of the New Birth, that they may be enabled to triumph over Death. Inspire the Teachers of the people with higher thoughts, and give them new and clearer views of life and its immortal destiny." (p. 147)
