It is an exquisite privilege to be able to present to you a fractionalpart of this new work of ours, wh ich the sp irit folk have themselvesentitled as a whole TH E NEW DI ! IN]T! .

! y vis-aovi s and mysel f, as the mediums, or rather part of ,the

mechanism t hrough which this work has been dictated upon an Ouij aboard

,did not anticipate any results of a wide, se rious or rel igious nature

when we commenced to toy w ith one, bought, unsuspectingly as a gam e

to help the smal l children of the household to pass away the long darkdays of an Alaskan winter ; for, in that beautiful country, we received thebulk Of our work.But Heaven

,in its wisdom

,took practical advantage of the undisturbed

evenness of the “electric l ines of space ! upon which the spirit folktravel , according to their statem ents, in that vast and weird domain of ourown United States. A land where no mechanical

,commercial or warring

medium of disturbance of atmospheric conditions exist to mar the earthenfolding infinite calm.

! rom the fact that we so received most of our voluminous data there,you wil l understand, as we progress, the many references made by oursp irit dictators to that far-away land of beauty, both in the text and inthe many p ieces of poetry which we have had given us.S ince coming to Cal ifornia this past summer

,and viewing the u p

-todate l iterature upon psychic subj ects

,I am stil l thoroughly convinced that

these dictations, received in the domestic circle in that northwestern cornerof the earth, unfaltering in their diction and strength, are the greatestencouragement, fact, and revelation that this world has ever receivedt hrough the void ; sent to its tireless workers for good —those faithful lycom bating the evils of today. These people, who are God

’s foundationfor a superstructure of self-development and good, upon this first andlowest f orm of l ife, our plan e, or planet, the Earth. Those who standfirm in progress against a tide of indifference and worse ; those whosemental i is sufficient to al low t hem to open their minds against that worstcrime 0 the ages, re l igious bigotry.

To the éarélsésObéervér; an 9131351 !b03 rd looks Simp le and inoff ensiveenough to be a quiescent toy.So does the summer bree ! e !So does the smooth ocean !So does the maj esty of calm and beautiful nature upon the surface.But l ike the bree! e gone wild ; the ocean in its active moods ; Mother

Nature,when stirred, the Ouij a board is now admittedly by those who

know,an inspired, purposeful wireless telegraph to the beyond ; powerful ,

deep , mysterious beyond the limits of ou r mental possibil ities—as I shal ltry to explain.

The first inkl ing that we two had of a possible Significance andimportance attaching to the board was of intimate personal matters

,l ong

overlooked by those to whom these suggestions were of interest.The next striking suggestion was a request that we take down an Atlas,

the board announcing that it would be pleased to give us a lesson upon theplanets, as viewed from a Heavenly standpoint.This lesson

,as received by u s

, was so instructive, original , and praotical ly enl ightening that we knew it must come from sources beyond theken of this l itt le round Earth.Upon continuing our experiments, the mission of the revelations

received grew so apparent, with urgings from friends and relatives beyondthe gates of life that we sy st ematical ly pursued sam e, and the data receivedwere of so import ant a nature, that we secured an appointment book, andarranged

,sometimes for weeks ahead , the announced name of a control ,

the subj ect of a lesson or lecture to be given , and the hours between whichit would be dictated.This program we fol lowed daily

,finding always that ou r spiritual

dictators were with us at the moment set,their subject prepared

,awaiting

our co-operation .And I may add that somuch work was offered to us of a philosophical ,

rel igious, scientific, and poetical nature, even fiction being suggested,that

we could have belonged to three unions without violating the code ofeth ics laid down for humans to ob eyEach individual , ow i ng to the W I se prevision of nature, has his ordi~

nat ed walk in l ife. Ours happens to l ie in a great output of valuablework from the Ouij a board.

2

The u se of this board, as w ith the piano, harp or viol in , the paint brushOr palet te, or any of the thousan d and one varied paths of l ife work, l ieswith the sp iritual and mental makeu p of the individual . Each talent iss imp ly an inspired gift.In the course of our work

,we have been to ld by sp iritual lecturers,

that ! rs. E l la Wheeler W ilcox i s a great medium ; that she is the reincarnation of ! arie Antoinette, who was herself, in her time, so gifted .

! rs. W ilcox, with whose wonderful psychic exp lanations you are al ldoubtless more or less fam il iar, freely admits that She receives some ofher most beautiful inspirations by means of an Ouij a board . But Mrs.Wilcox adds also that she has tried the board with nearly two hundredpersons

,three only of whom enabled her to produce anything l ike sat i sf ac

tory results. W ith two of them the work was of an indi ff erent nature ;but w ith the th ird, She was enab led to reach her goal w t o talk with herbeloved departed husband.

As far as I know,however

,the one control only

,i s mentioned .

Sir Conan Doyle,I understand

,admits that he receives many of his

most valued suggestions from an Ouij a board ; but t o these suggestions, asdoes ! rs. W ilcox, he adds the genius of his own mind in their fulfi l lment,before presenting them to the public.But what we receive

,dictated as fast as an amanuensis can take it

down,we do not change in any way—neither add ing to nor subtracting

from the always interesting matter recei ved.

Nor do we, in any way, sense what i s coming to u s,either by way of

contro l , sub ject, or text.Hence, if you hear any or

'

al l of these lectures,you receive by word of

mouth , a verbatim, practical , illuminating, simp l ified solution of theeternal questions of the ages

,un al loyed

“

b one voluntary thought,one

theory, or one suggestion , when the dictate text is quoted.

So , I say again , that, as Simple as the use of the Ouij a board appearsto be, it is, as explained by our spiritual dictators, a new,

exact sc ience,mental , spiritual and phy sical .

In its p lan , it is more than a paral lel to the wireless telegraph.The humanlike mental ity of the loved ones gone beyond

,leaving only

the earthly body behind to enrich the earth, is the sender.The solar plexus—that never Sleeping brain of the ind ividual

,is the

switchboard, or a receiving station.

3

The nerve sentries, or messengers, of the hum an body, fulfi l l theirduty as the wires ; and the mental brain is the final receiving station .There you have it in a nutshel l .And the great secret of why some individuals can successful ly u se the

board,and some can not, is, that the successful person ! UST HA! E,

so

to speak,a diseasedly sensitive solar plexus.

Unless that sensitive receiving sta t ion of the individual is attuned tothe delicate and fragile effort of the spirit control wishing to operate theboard from the spiritual Side

,the attempt to do so i s worse than useless.

I am pleased to state here that we have received a lecture purportingto come from that great scientist of the past, Emmanuel Swedenborg,giving in detail the offices and uses of the solar plexus, as wel l as thedetails of the mental brain, the subconscious mind, and the nerve ofeventual ity.

Our controls,some thirty in nu mber, so far, give as a reason for the

sudden determination on the par t of the heavenly legions to communicatewith this Earth so plainly and forcibly !

1st . That the higher classes, or more intel l igent of peoples here, haveso advanced in knowledge and mentality

,that they are now entitled to

kn ow, and be re warded with the as surance t hat there is a happy andpractical hereafter. Not one to which they cl imb by an imaginary ladder,in golden sandals, to a wooden platform,

and there forever try to sing totheir own music of a more or less dubious character upon a harpless harp.But a hereafter, big and wide enough for al l ; a hereafter consisting ofclasses through which al l progress

,starting with the grade of mentality

each has al lowed himself to acquire while here on Mother Earth,God’s

first work in this system, the first'

andl owest form of life,and the start

of a l l l ife.A hereafter, which we ou rselves inhabit, after casting off our useless

body, as does the snake its Skin , the butterfly i t s incubating prison , or thebird its eggshel l. A hereafter wherein we are dealt the rewards or conse

qu ences of our voluntary choice of act ion ,

'

whi l e here.The second reason or explanation given us by the spirit world as to the

urgent appeal they are making for our a t tention, is the need of a warningon our part ; for they say that unless we are so prepared and forewarned,the war j ust past is only a start for world misery ; because of the ignorant,the brutal , the down ~t eari ng disin tegrating forces of this earth, are gather

4

ing for a T i tan i c struggle against those who would build up and make for'

prog ress and happiness—the constructive forces.In other words

,the predominating peoples who have not yet fairly

emerged from the a e and goril la type, by evolution ; the coarse anddestru ctive

,the greed

!

and unprincip led element, w i l l wage a long andb itter battle against t ose who would “carry on ! and make the world aparadise

,such as was intended by the ! reat Creator.

And these two reasons,and these alone, account for the great wave of

broad thought and reason along religious l ines of thew

past fifty years ; asW el l as the now admitt ed determination of High Heaven personal ly, toW arn those worth whi le, through the mechanisms of automatic writing,the Ouij a board, and by direct insp iration and conversation.

One of our first questions asked through the board was the meaning ofthe w ord O-u -i -j -a.

The reply was that the word sprang from the Greek of the ancients,and means “The ! ASTE! ’

S HAND .

!

Now in the ! rench language,every noun is mascu l ine or feminine. No

neuter exists. So I ha ! ard the suggestion that every solar plexus isfeminine, because each is so temperamental . And these moods and tensesaccount largely for the tenor of messages coming through from the spiritworld

,as to whether they are coherent and learned

,or garbled and

commonp lace,as well as untruthful .

To give the sp iritual dic t ators “a ghost of a show so to speak,added

to a cruc i al ly sensiti ! ed solar p lexus, one must be possessed of a calm,

fair-dealing nature, respectful and receptive, a makeup wi thout violentprejudices, malice or smal l meanness, Such as untruthfulness, greed orvindictiveness And I state here that the spirit world is able to shu n

peop le of these characteris t ics by means of colored l ights emanating fromthe left side of an individual

,thrown to them as a warning searchlight ;

the murderer, for instance, to them, always travels in a pathway of redl ight, the raper in a mauve l ight, and so on .The Spirit dictator, besides being prevented from free expression of

thought by the vagaries of the so l ar plexus, as an unrel iable switchboard,must also hear the burden of the opposing mental thought which may besent down from the mental brain to the solar p lexus

,when they are trying

to send up on the same wires.

5

The meet ing between these t wo messages is equivalent to a head-oucol l ision on a rai lway track of two engines of varying streng th . And thespiritual message, being weaker and finer than the mental message

,su ffers

in the disaster,and i s virtual ly thrown from the track, and lost to the

truth which the spirit folk had wished to impart .This unfortunate col lision of t hese opposing forces, consequently in

part accounts for the garbl ing and seeming mixture of the earthly and theSpiritual data

,which many give out

,mistakenly, as al l-spiritual .

Another great contending force against those in the great beyond whoare so endeavoring to scatter deeds of good and kindness to their lovedones here

,is the un repentant, evi l forces or spirits, who go about, clothed

or wrapped the same as good spirits, in the fragile spiritual mi st or ether ;and who are distinguishable only by their terrible faces—faces so evi lthat they are designated first and last as ogres. And these ogres

,are sent

,

and hover about our earth, com ing from the fountain-head of evil . Evil,

a power,we are told in our lectures

,that existed before the constru ction

of our known u n i verse w as commenced .

Our dictators do not want the company of the evil spirits or ogres,they say repeatedly ; but they are sent, j ust the same, as they must know,

also , whatever i s going on, for ,future uses and j udgment .

These ogres are cal led the earth-bound spirits of evil,for they do not

care to rise higher in intel lectual ity. They originate from the evil source,

and it is their function to tempt, coe rce and caj ole the human being toevil in al l its forms.

Hence, it i s now the wish and determination of Heaven to give tohumans disposed to work for the good of earth

,a clearer vision between

right and wrong, to strengthen their armor against the increasinglypowerful forces of destruction and disintegration.Believe me, when I say from this experience, that the human being is

never free from the connect ing force to the beyond ; that he i s at liberty tochoose his company in the forces of the beyond now

,whether good or bad

,

when

dthi nk ing , acting or communicating, j ust as he does his earthly

f ri en 5.

Hence, the honor and discrimination of the communicator is the only

6

fence for repell ing would-b e evi l d i ctators from the other Side, as muchas we regret to !admit it ; and even then , at times, the evil cannot be en t irelyavoided.So

,I hOpe I have made it p lain to you that this new force of commun i

cation—not new in years,but always new in experience—i s a force aside

from e lectricity—a more important force—which we may know for thetime being only as S! I! IT ! ORCE

,and which is communicated through

our—to them— pregnable bodies,by m eans of the So lar p lexus

,the nerve

W ires and the mental brain.

Also that they have numerous obstacles to contend against ; hence it isnot to be wondered at that many messages are twisted.

Or, if a person or persons using the board are insincere and diereSpect f u l , they receive attention from forces of the same nature, and nothingmore. One must be in quest of high and worth-wh ile thoughts to receivesuch in return ; and what the world wants now i s not agitation , theory, norscientific specu l ation . It wants facts.

The fol lowing paragraph we have d icta t ed direct from the board“There is never a moment when mortals are alone. If one or more

spirits leave the mort al,another group may come to take their places.

Or,the mortal may have direct inspiration from his guardian angel who

is never away,but is part of the heavenly sp i rit which HAS THE ! OWER

to DI ! IDE ITSEL! . ! art being with the mortal on Earth, and anotherha lf in its rightful Heavenly sphere.!

Our messages may not be complete.! an you understand why this i s !

“The solar plexus is the spiritual brain. It is thousands of times more

sensitive than the earthly brain.“If it i s whol ly i n tou ch w i th one Sp i ri t con t rol , its nerve sentries carry

the comp lete message to the subconscious mind- which controls theearthly brain independently of earthly thought.

“When the message is carried to the brain from the solar p lexus, thenerves that carry earthly t hought become tense.

“THAT ISW HAT ! AUSES A ! E! SON TO CONCENTRATE !

One word that does not belong to a spiritual message wil l hinder themedium from getting clear messages—as it is part of her own EARTHL!THOUGHT that comes, mixed with the spiritual thought unconsciously.

“That is why concentration must be thorough—so that spiritual andearthly thoughts do not CLASH.

“If your eyes could se

e spiritual ly, you would see a violet reflectional l over this room. We, the spirits, are a pinkish white Shadow, ful lformed.

“If you could see our faces,you would see u s as we looked in health

upon the eart hly sphere.“The board is sp itting out l ittle flashes of blue l ight from friction.

! ou cannot see it, nor could we, were we not above your mental vision.!

In the earlier part of our work for mere convenience or a figure ofspeech

,our spirit dictators frequently cal led this spiri t force by the name

of “Ouij a ! or spirit dwarf.I explain this so that in the following quotations direct from the board

you wil l un derstand its significance !

H OW ! ITT ! E OUIJA O ! E ! ATES TH E ! OA! D.

While we two ladies were engaged one evening with th i s ! lanchette,two friends cal led as if casual ly, and were invited to be seated.Our control excused himse l f from the subj ect with which we were

engaged,and without any questions from the cal lers, wrote out

“ I wil l tel l these men wha t they came to find ou t . They want to knowwhat power drives the lit tle heart shaped table of the Ouij a. One ofthem is already true to the belief in spirits.

“ I did not expect to talk about that mat t er tonight, and have not my! parchment’ prepared. But it i s al l right, and I will t ry to remember thedetails.

“The modern ! lanchette or Ouij a i s an invention of God,and it was

rmade by a man who did not even believe in i t s mission, or the spiri t s.!He did not know that God ! orda i ned’ him to m ake the invention

,but

made it from heavenly inspiration,and he sel ls it as a toy.

“But God did inspire and ordain him to make this modern ! lanchett eand he sel l s it, never dreaming that a Holy Spirit cam e and incited everything that He thought of in regard to th i s !Right Hand of God’ and Godso desired it named , the Modern ! lanchette.

piece of p ine wood was chosen for the smal l tab le, as it is theto charge wit h electricity, !which it draws through the mortal body !e incense of the spiritual magnetism, which is always around the

al and is half of what they breathe.The atmosphere is not al l oxygen and hydrogen ; it is partly fi l led

w it h spiritual gravity or ether, which goes to make up life.When mortals p lace their hands upon the heart of love andfaith, they

must bel ieve in it to be successful in i t s use.“A tiny elf is instrumental in manipulating the board.The magnetism of the mortals using the board wil l tel l the tiny spirit,

or Tom Thum b, who is a dwarf and pushes the table about on the letters,that they wish to talk to the Heavenly spirits.

“When these two people set t heir hands upon this l ittle elf’s shoulders,he grasps the attention and says to the spirit !

!Here are your mortal loved ones,who want to hear from you.’

The speaker spirit steps behind the mediumistic person using theboard

,and proceeds to use the spiritual brain or solar plexus to produce

the desired results !“In other words, the messages are sent through the so lar p lexus or !

spiritual brain invisibly.“The solar p lexus is a smal l network of nerves used only by God’s

sp i r i t messengers.“The Spiritual brain responds

,but as yet the eart hly brain knows

g about the message that is to come.Litt le nerve sentries carry this message to the mortal brain ; and it

passes to Ouij a from the mortal brain’s message,which has j ust arrived.

Thus the table is carried involuntarily to the let ters.“This explains the reason why the table wil l not travel alone. It mu st

have the spiritual help through the mortal bodies ; the so lar p lexu s andthe four hands must operate the board to cause the message to be put onthe board. These causes start cross currents of elect ricity and th is makesthe table move.

“The large table is only a field of letters, and Ou i j a is a l ittle elf fromthe heart -of God.

“As the character of the person’s heart is,do they get good or bad

messages, and the true or untrue, for they bri ng a l ike influence about

9

them. The clean mind brings about it good infl uences and good Sp iritualaid. But the mortal , known to the spirit world as the black-hearted,bri ng the evil ogres, the unrepentant slaves of Satan, who know theirbusiness—there are no secrets from them—and these receive the untrueand uncanny results or messages.

“The l itt le elf, Ouij a or solar p lexus, does not know right from wrong,and takes whatever is given to him to send out.

“The mortal using the board must al so have mediumistic tendencies t obe successful ; that is, a very sen sitive solar plexus, or they cannotbe used spiritua l ly, and

!Ouij a’ is j ust the l ink that connects the spiritualbrain with the mortal brain. That is h is pecul iarity.

“The solar plexus can be manipulated by the medium when spirits arenot p resent to grasp it in a spiritual message for Ouij a to put upon theboard .

“Sometimes the medium’s solar plexus wil l grasp hidden thoughtsand mix them with those of the earthly brain

,and that explains !Ouij a’s’

human side.!

The fol lowing was given on the board one evening, simp ly to amusethe children of the household ; it is imaginative and beautiful , and I giveit as a contrast to the more serious rel igious and scientific data !
