Country Beyond

"Books which have strongly influenced ones life can be likened to old friends, rare and beloved, and to whom one can turn again and again for truth and wisdom. Such a book, to my mind, is Jane Sherwoods The Country Beyond. The author started her investigations when her husband was killed in the First World War. She could not accept either that Andrew was no more or that he might survive in a realm where there was no use for his own energy and enquiring intellect. A valuable section of the book describes what befell the author when she set out to try to contact her husband. She was not in touch with anyone who was qualified to advise or warn her, and throughout many years endured frustrating, misleading experiences and dangers of which she had been innocently unaware. If for no other reason the book should he valued for the advice given to all who pursue psychic investigations. Jane Sherwood came through it all having three supreme advantages: unshakeable Christian faith, a keen logical mind and sound common sense. Finally, through unflagging determination, to her surprise she found herself to have the gift of automatic writing. She achieved her ambition of contact with her husband, and also with two other communicators. Subject matter includes descriptions of the active, progressing life beyond, analysis of the human entity - ourselves - i.e. descriptions of the four bodies or modes we all have, reincarnation, and the esoteric order within our solar system. With characteristic humility the author describes her book as a 'starting point for others to work from.
