One might ask, "If the souls on their return journey from the earth give their experience to the souls coming from above, what do the souls coming from above give to the souls on their return journey?" They can do a great deal too; for they know the forgotten ways through which they have recently travelled, and the laws and customs of the way that the souls on the return journey need to learn. Besides this they give to them that light and life which is necessary to those worn out and withered souls, who have probably given most of themselves to the ever-robbing and consuming plane of the earth. In this way a man is helped towards his goal by the soul he meets on his own return journey.
