That which is part of
our souls is eternal. . .
Those lives are countless,
but the soul or spirit
that animates us throughout
these myriads of existences
is the same; and though
"the book and volume"
of the physical brain
may forget events
within the scope of one
terrestrial life, the bulk of
collective recollections
can never desert the
divine soul within us.
Its whispers may be too soft,
the sound of its words
too far off the plane
perceived by our physical senses;
yet the shadow of events that were,
just as much as the shadow
of the events that are to come,
is within its perceptive powers,
and is ever present before
its mind's eye." —
