Recently, Karl checked with Creator to determine if an early 1970s book created by automatic writing, The Book of James by psychic Susy Smith, was, in fact, dictated by William James, who transitioned to spirit in 1910. Wikipedia says this about William James, “William James was an American philosopher and psychologist. The first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States, he is considered to be one of the leading thinkers of the late 19th century, one of the most influential philosophers and is often dubbed the ‘father of American psychology.'” Creator said, “This was an accurate and meaningful channeling from the attributed source, so it can be relied on to represent the information conveyed in that body of work.” James, through Susy Smith via automatic writing, explained his motives for channeling the book: “I was interested in psychical research for most of my life. … As I grew older and more cynical I dismissed (discussions of life after death) and approached psychical research from the scientific point of view. Although I saw a good deal of evidence for survival … at no time did I conclude anything more definitive than, ‘I remain uncertain and await more facts.'” However, after James’s death, and through Susy Smith, he says this: “I have acquired more facts now and am happy to impart them to the world. My advanced awareness (from a lifetime of psychical research) prepared me for my transition, and my passing was so much easier than that of most of my contemporaries that I very soon came to realize the value of such knowledge. Because I am aware, then, of how important this information can be to one at the moment of death and even for a long time afterward, I am especially eager to offer the facts for public perusal. I am not alone in my efforts. A great many over here are determined to get the truth about survival to you. We know that the lives of all those now on Earth will change for the better when they know with certainty that there is no death—that they will endure in a life of continuity.” What is Creator’s perspective?

James gives us an interesting example to examine: “Picture, if you will, the situation of one whom we will call John Jones because that is not his real name. John Jones lived a sordid life. His main interests were the attainment of money and the spending of it on himself. He was not always honest, although he could hardly be called a criminal type. He was successful in his business dealings and at the time of his death was a wealthy man. He was also an uninformed man who did not believe in anything except the power of money and his ability to make it. … His relatives who had died had long ago given him up as one they could not influence for the better, and so they made no effort to stay with him and help him (as spirit guides and guardians). When this man died suddenly of a heart attack, no one was there to receive him. I (the deceased/spirit James) heard of his death, and, having known him briefly in life, I decided to try and make his entry into the new phase of his existence as comfortable as possible. I went to greet him. … I walked up to him and he saw me and gave me a perfunctory greeting. Then he lost interest in me immediately. He was puzzled because that body on the bed looked like him, yet he was standing there feeling better than he had in years, if a bit hazy of mind because of his abrupt demise. I told him he’d had a sudden heart attack and died. He paid absolutely no attention. I repeated this several times, but he did not listen. Then finally he said, ‘Look friend, I’m having a crazy dream. I know exactly what is going on, so please stop bothering me. I have many business deals to put through in the morning and no time for such silly talk about death.'” What is Creator’s perspective?

James continues with his example of John Jones: “I gave up trying to impress him with the truth of his situation and merely stood by and watched as he went through his days. … Once in a while Jones looked at me and said, ‘This is a really weird dream. I wish I could wake up.’ Even after he had watched his own burial, however, he did not accept the fact he was dead. The day after his funeral Jones went to the stock exchange and stayed, as his wont, watching the rise and fall of stocks as avidly as he had ever done. This went on day after day. I found I could give him no assistance, so I soon left him, sitting in his office at the stock market, attempting to advise his fellow workers even though no one was aware of his presence. I checked back on him from time to time and always found him in this same situation. He told me he was getting bored with this silly dream, but he would not listen when I gave him the truth. Death has to be so different from life that this could not be death, and so he must be dreaming. This is the only explanation he would consider. If we multiply John Jones’ experience by the thousands and even millions who so live that their interests are entirely earthly and in no way spiritual, you will see that the sphere immediately after death is burdened with those who should be learning and progressing but instead are tied to the lives they formerly led.” What is Creator’s perspective?
