I looked around for hi ofKatie in his arht?" I asked as he set her down

"My thought," he said "They can be transported too"

"Can I send hts to Ann then?" I asked quickly

"If she were receptive to the thoughts to her would be extreain, I willed away the deep uneasiness which thoughts of Ann produced in me I had to have faith in Albert’s words "Could I travel to England by thought?" I said, asking the first question to occur to land here, of course; I presume there is one"

"There is indeed," he said "And you could travel there because you did in life, and knohat to visualize"

"What exactly are we?" I asked

"In a counterpart of the United States," he told th of his own country and people Not that you couldn’t live where you chose As long as you were comfortable there"

"There’s an equivalent, here, to every country on earth then?"

"At this level," Albert answered "In higher realher realain

"My father’s house has many mansions, Chris," he said "For instance, you’ll find, in the hereafter, the particular heaven of each theology"

"Which is right then?" I asked, completely baffled now

"All of them," he said, "and none Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, Christian, Jew--each has an after-life experience which reflects his own beliefs The Viking had his Valhalla, the A Ground, the zealot his City of Gold All are real Each is a portion of the overall reality

"You’ll even find, here, those who clai their nonmaterial tables with their nonestion of a life beyond matter It’s the ultimate irony of delusion

"The way you changed locations"

"With iination; mind?"

He nodded "Alith ht" I closeda robe like Albert’s Instantly, I felt that "altering" sensation again, this ti around me for an instant The description is inexact but I can do no better

"Is it done?" I asked

"Look," he told h I’d often worn a long, velour caftan around the house but it had been nothing like what I wore at that uilty to be so aht," Albert told h the first time they see their robes"

"It’s not like yours," I said Mine hite, without a sash

"It will alter in time as you do," he told ery on the ideoplastic ain?"

He chuckled "Let’s just say that, while on earth, clothes may make the man, here the process is definitely reversed The atmosphere around us is e of any sustained thought It’s like afor imprints Except for our bodies, no forht ain "Incredible"

"Not really, Chris," he said "Extre is created materially, it has to be created mentally, doesn’t it? When matter is put aside, all creation becomes exclusively mental, that’s all You’ll come, in time, to adopt the power of mind"
