Of Body

Journeys Out Of The Body
Spiritualist
"You listen for sounds such as
a roar of the Ocean, or a bell ringing, or thunder,
or bees buzzing. In time one of these sounds will
come. Some perhaps hear one sound first, then another;
others may hear a different sound first. When this
sound comes, put your whole attention on it, and in
doing this you become 'baptized.'"
- Dr. Quantz Crawford
