'Defination of the Silver Cord.
In light of the information
above, the soul does not
incarnate and attach to the
fetus for approximately
three months – for it takes
approximately this time for
the development of the
central nervous system. If
a miscarriage or abortion
occurs prior to this time,
I suggest there would be no
spiritual consequence
because a soul has not been
released to the spirit
world. But, if an infant
soul does go to the spirit
world, it will be adopted
by relations or spirit
parents and raised as their
own to maturity.
SOUL DEPARTING
Helen Padgett, wife of
medium:
“I had scarcely awakened to
the fact that my spirit had
left my body before my
husband’s mother had me in
her arms and was trying to
tell me that I had nothing
to fear or cause me to feel
that I was not with those
who loved me. I went with
her, and she took me to a
place that was very
beautiful and filled with
spirits who had recently
passed over.”
SPIRIT BODY
Upon death, the soul is
released from the physical
body encased in its etheric
or spirit body. This spirit
body is not a new one, but
has been with the soul
since its incarnation into
the mortal flesh. The
spirit body takes the place
of the physical body and
protects the soul during
its existence in the spirit
world. This body is made
the active energy of the
soul and reflects the
condition of the soul.
Arthur Findlay,
spiritualist author:
“It will be noticed that,
throughout these meetings
(sessions with the medium
John Slone), the etherians
mention every part of their
body, their hands, fingers,
face, lips, mouth, tongue,
throat, legs, arms, feet,
heart, head, hair, eyes and
tears, thus confirming that
the spirit body is a
duplicate of the physical
body.” Spiritualists know
this to be true because
mediums can describe spirit
loved ones with accuracy
and in considerable detail.
Francis Bacon:
”The soul’s home is in the
spirit body, whether that
body is encased in mortal
form or not. The soul is
never without its spirit
body, which, in appearance
and composition, is
determined by the state of
the soul. The soul has a
material covering and an
appearance that is real and
tangible, which changes in
appearance as the condition
of the soul changes.”
In the spirit world, there
is no deformity of the
spirit body. The blind can
see, the deaf can hear, the
amputee has his limbs. The
only afflictions that are
brought to the spirit world
are the emotional and
psychological ones, and, if
the spirit so desires,
these can be treated by
spirit physicians and
healed.
