Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
While watching Sherlock Holmes it is easy to see from the spiritual eye the many occasions when Holmes uses his spiritual powers.
The man who invented the only Private Consulting Detective had a brilliant and deductive mind and he made a thorough investigation into Spiritualism.
After his very thorough investigation was finished to his satisfaction he publicly proclaimed himself a spiritualist on many occasions.
He published a book, which he entitled The History of Spiritualism which remains as fresh as when it was first published in 1926.
To those who are seriously trying to understand the Spiritual and Natural Law of Life and who wish to follow the teachings of our Lord, much is revealed by this brilliant man.
Nothing simply happens and unless we are prepared to change through our research and understanding of what life is really all about and how in "death" we are still as before but without the physical body, then we will have an uncomfortable time ahead.
What we can do to prepare ourselves for the future existence is all about getting ready now. We have to change our outlooks and allow our mindsets to accept the truth.
Many deny "death" and call it the end and yet it is nothing of the kind. We live on as ourselves in spirit form and have to face the fact that we have got away with nothing and have been watched by Higher Powers above us, who see how we have coped with this existence.
We will have to face our thoughts and deeds in the 'cold light of reason', where there are no excuses and factually we shall feel the effects of what we have done and the intentions with which we did them.
If you haven't already discovered that we are not alone and that help is there for us to succeed if only we listen to it and act upon it, then the sooner you make a start the better.
Nobody is there already and we all need further refining however much we think that we are living a good life, so to those who read this I would like to encourage you to read on.
Spiritual guidance is available in plenty and must be learned and understood before it is too late and your tattered life stares back at you and you have to face the opportunities that you missed and the errors that you made as we all must do.
The material aspiration really doesn't bring the comfort of love and health, so look to your future and prepare yourself well.
Take nothing for granted and test the Spirit, but as the evidence builds up, if you allow it into your hearts and minds, so the light will dawn as it did to Conan Doyle and many men and women far more intelligent and honest than ourselves.
