is views were upon this subject from the
other side of the veil. I will now leave him to speak for himself.

H. D.--You want me to tell you just my position about the Imperator
group before and since I passed to this side? That is easily done.
Remember, the teaching I got through Imperator was practically the first
_spiritual_ teaching I ever had--the first I mean, of course, that I
could assimilate, because it appealed to my reason, as well as to my
sense of the fitness of things--and therefore I can never feel
sufficiently grateful to him and his group; and I see that they can
teach many who would not be amenable to a more distinctly spiritual
appeal.

Imperator is a great force in his way; a sort of plough that goes over
the hard, caked-up earth and throws it open to the sunshine and rain and
all Nature's beautiful influences, to all the possibility of Divine
influences on the corresponding sphere.

But the limitation of Imperator I see clearly now, as you always appear
to have done.

He is, as you say, too final and too dogmatic. This is at once his
weakness and his strength: his weakness, because it limits his own
spiritual receptivity; his strength, because it focusses his power in
dealing with materialistic minds.

A more spiritually true perspective in his communications would rule out
half the souls to whom his appeal is made.

_Stainton Moses has also progressed beyond the Imperator influence, and
this is why the communications between them had become so clogged and so
liable to error._

S. M. could not switch on to the old wires, as in the days when his
horizon was bounded by them. This accounts, I see, for much of the
misconception and apparent inconsistency of the remarks made through Mrs
Piper, but it was very disheartening for the investigator as time went
on and the "Light" became more and more clouded. Then there was the
additional fact to be faced, that Mrs Piper herself became, psychically
rather than physically, exhausted, and less able to be used from this
side.

Now I see you want to know about Frank Strong, and what he said about
sin existing only on your plane, and how inconsistent this was with the
previous teachings of Stainton Moses, who was supposed to be speaking
through Frank's assistance.

It is so difficult to explain everything in black and white when there
are so many shades of grey, so many degrees and amounts to be
considered. It is like a question in mechanics.
