Communication with the departed?

From the June 1978 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A man was troubled. He was drawn to a spiritualist, and during his visit he believed that an acquaintance, who had died some time before, communicated with him.

Another man was inspired. In a sacred event, he spoke with individuals who had departed centuries before.

The first man was King Saul. He had attempted to communicate with Samuel.See I Sam. 28; The second man was Christ Jesus. He spoke with Moses and Elias during the transfiguration.See Mark 9; In the first instance, true communication did not take place. But it was an instructive event, illustrating the fallacy of a mortal view of life. In the second instance, true communication did take place. It was a holy event, teaching an invaluable lesson about the nature of divine Life, God.
