during his
illness, and his landlady being asleep, was functioning in her astral
body, which becomes a vehicle of consciousness, and as there was
sympathy between the two it was possible for her to retain her astral
vision in waking suddenly as she did.

The dead are not dead at all, as many imagine. This man is only
physically dead because he has lost his physical body. He is not
intellectually and emotionally dead because he has not lost that part
of his mechanism of consciousness which is the seat of thought and
emotion. The physical body only allows us to express ourselves in the
physical world, but it is not the man, any more than the clothes he
wears.

Extract from the Sunday Herald-Examiner, May 8, 1921:

NEW GHOSTS ARE WRITING POETRY BY UNIVERSAL SERVICE.

Paris, May 7.--Can a ghost write poetry? You betcha, says
Baron Maurice de Waleffe, the French satirist, who tells of
a remarkable book of spirits' poems just published in Paris
under the title of "The Glory of Illusion."

Three years ago died Judith Gautier, niece of Theophile Gautier, and
left a collection of slightly--er--passionate novels and collections
of poems which were circulated among friends. One of these friends was
a girl, Judith's most intimate companion. A year after Judith's death
this girl dreamed a dream. In the dream Judith appeared and commanded
her to seize a pencil and write to dictation. The result was a series
of poems of an exoteric character which are triumphs of meter and scan
perfectly. They are published in the name of the girl friend, Mlle. S.
Meyer Zundel, but Mlle. Zundel says they're not really her works at
all, but were directly dictated by her dead friend. Previous to
Judith's death, Mlle. Zundel says she never wrote a line of poetry.

Here we have direct proof of an invisible intelligence directing this
young lady to write poems which she admits she never wrote before her
friend's death. The materialistic skeptic who is always ready to
interpret dreams as coincidences cannot call this a coincidence before
the testimony of such facts when they are brought to the eyes of an
intelligent public. The would-be interpreter of human existence
remains baffled and silent; they can neither deny these facts nor do
they dare to explain them.
