EXPERIENCES IN SPIRITUALISM WITH MR. D. D. HOME. BY VISCOUNT ADARE, [Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin 1841-1926] WITH INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY THE EARL OF DUNRAVEN. [Viscount Adare's father] [1869]
From Séance 56,
D D Home said the following in a trance state
“Talk, go on talking to each other, your minds are much too positive; the human mind is like a barrier to us. Your minds now are all intent, and it makes such a confusion that I cannot see and find out what I want; it is like looking through a shrubbery with all the branches in motion: I cannot make out clearly what there is on the other side."
Mrs. Blackburn becoming slightly under influence and agitated., he stood behind her and calmed her, saying,
“You must not mind it, they will do you no harm; when on earth they would not have hurt you, why should they now ? You must have trust ; but even if you have not confidence in them, you know that God protects you from all evil - have trust in him. Should it seem unpleasant and even evil to you, remember that God's ways are not our ways ; and out of what is apparently evil, much good may come ; that which you might at first consider bad, may turn out to be the greatest good to you.”
