And every hour you are learning new truth -- and forgetting how you learned it.

The babe is conscious, and the babe learns -- fast, fast. But it forgets how it learned. And if it is not pleased with its experience and learning it lets go its body and passes on -- to other experiences.

Those who die die because they are ready. And they “are taken away from the evil to come.”

“Accidents” are results of “natural causes.” An “accidental” death is a “natural” death -- and sometimes much easier, and’ preferable to a so-called “natural” death. Who would not, if left to a decision, unbiased by public opinion, -- who would not prefer instant death in the electric chair to a slow rotting by cancer or tuberculosis? One death is as “natural” as another.

No man dies unless it is best for him to do so.

“Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born?

I hasten to tell him it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.”

There is nothing about death to be afraid of. It is but a wiping off of the mistakes which have handicapped you. YOU go on forever.

Death is as natural and as good as life.

Only the fear of death can harm you, by tearing down your body before you want it wiped out.

It is said the first mark of insanity is that the patient fears and hates his best friend. The fear and hatred of death is insanity. To fear death for ‘yourself is foolish. It but hypnotizes you, and death charms you as a snake charms a bird. You die before you would need to if you had not feared death.

It is still more foolish to fret over the death of another. In this case you not only add the death-dealing forces to your own body, hastening death for yourself; but your heavy thought ‘handicaps in the outset of his new state of existence the friend for whom you grieve.

Spiritualists who claim to see and converse with departed souls often tell their friends that the “spirit forms” are “so weak and worn” that they are not able as yet to communicate with their old friends. The medium says the new made “spirit” is “heavy” over the unhappy state of its earth friends.
