Paradise Regained
Описание книги
Anthony Borgia transcribed the thoughts of a deceased priest and author whom he had known in life: Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, son of former Archbishop of Canterbury, Edward White Benson. From the next world, the spirit priest dictated a wealth of scripts to his friend. He had a great deal to say which he hopes will correct the teachings contained in his previous influential Christian books written when he was living on earth. He speaks about Life in the Spirit World, the Orthodox Church, religious beliefs, faith, spirit communication, mediumship and what existence is really like for those who have crossed into the next states of life. In the present script, book 3 in a series of 7, Monsignor recounts how his friend Ruth and he embarked upon one of their visits to Earth for «escort duty» to a young lad of 18 years. Instead of passing him into the care of other hands as usually takes place, they invite him to stay with them in their home where he first awakens to his new life and thereafter, when he fully recovers, they set out upon «escort duty» of another kind through the realms in which they live, to see the wonders and meet some of the people.

Give the truth to the world. Let it be received where it will. Many will read the messages. Some will accept the truth, others will read through curiosity, a few will ridicule. Yet to all is the truth given, and to all remains the power of choice.
The hope of the world in these times is in spiritualizing all form of activity---promoting understanding through love and service. These must be the watchwords if the world is to come into lasting peace. We are trying to influence a world that is going astray and could cause undreamed of suffering. We are trying to overcome the thought of materialists and to bring a spiritual outlook into the earthly life. We need the help of all on earth who can think in spiritual terms. The great battle to be fought now is between the spiritual and the material, between idealism and carnalism. You can help by spreading the word---we are asking that you help because the battle may be long and the victory far away.

All there was for us to do now, was to await the awakening, which, in the nature of the case, would not be long delayed.
Our simple, but usually effective, arrangements had already been made. The couch upon which the lad had been laid, was placed close beneath a wide-open window in such a position that, without even the slightest movement of the head, a most enchanting view was to be seen of the gardens without, while through a gap in a line of trees, a distant view of our beautiful city was to be had, clear and colorful. Upon the wall immediately facing the lad there hung a large mirror, so that the reflection of the rest of the room, with all that it suggested in comfort and ease, could be observed with the merest turn of the eye. Children's voices could be heard in the distance, and the birds were singing with their customary vigor.
