Foreword

(Granger) What a pleasant task, one certainly which I cherish, the writing of the Foreword to this pleasant book. We believe the fibres of life flow through this writing. And it is, indeed, our privilege to give the lead-in to its story.

Always someone wants to ask, "But who is this who opens the door to this book?" Well be reassured, I am a worthy and careful butler. I will direct you graciously to the rooms and chambers you will walk through here with pleasure. I have, indeed, walked through the halls of time, the corridors of life in the physical earth. I have known the pleasures and the sorrows of life in the physical, as well as the fears of death at its closing experience. We assure you that in this book you will find the very fabric of life, the reality of consciousness, the validity of truth, and the pleasure of humour as well.

The earth, ...those who walk and live and struggle in the earth today, need very much to be aware of the wider ranges of reality .There is life beyond and surrounding you; there is reality without end; there is conscious awareness in boundaries beyond comprehension. There is endless beauty at the point of the sunrise, and there is the glow of understanding in the embers of the sunset. But life goes on; life is an open, ...an ever opening highway, a skyway, a beyond, beyond beyond.

In this book you will meet those personalities who are referred to here as "The Auroral People". Do not be afraid to open the mind. Let them speak for themselves. Let them present the story of life as they comprehend it. No defence for their reality is required from me. My purpose is that only of encouraging you to open the wings of your mind. Unfold and allow yourself to drift on the airstreams through which this book will give buoyancy to your beliefs. Only then, at the conclusion, sit and ponder that which you have been invited to experience. Do not sit in judgement before the fact of reading. Read with a free and open mind, then let your conclusions be those of your own will and of your own choice. No matter what your beliefs may be, in conclusion, I am sure you will feel that it has been a worth while experience.

And now in conclusion, it is my pleasure to give my blessing to all those who read this book. May the blessing of your own inner-being, your own higher-mind, your own High-soul rest within the purpose, the will, the beliefs that sustain you in your own life. I must, like all things, make my adieu. But there is no farewell; out there, sometime, somewhere, we shall have the pleasure of touching with our minds. And you may say to me, "I too agree, it was worth while to have read that book for which you wrote the Foreword."
