Excerpt from Claude's Book There was no intention originally of publishing these talks, and it must be understood that the terms used in this little book are the nearest equi valent to the conditions, or states, or feelings Claude wishes to explain or describe to his mother, and cannot always be perfectly technically accurate, because for certain things in the spirit-world we have no exact expression, as they are beyond our normal experience. Many things have been omitted: all references, for instance, to his family, his friends, current Patents, and so forth.
