How To Use The Spirit Cabinet


When the cabinet is properly arranged the medium enters it and sits down

on a chair provided for that purpose. He should not be disturbed

thereafter, but should be encouraged and aided in his work by the

maintenance of a quite, reverent mental attitude on the part of the

members of the circle. It will be found helpful if a few hymns are sung

while waiting for manifestations from the cabinet. The best way to

encourage m
terialization at a regular circle is for gradual steps to be

taken leading up to this high phase of phenomena. For example, the

circle should sit in the ordinary way at its regular meetings, and

devote itself to the production of the lesser forms of phenomena. Then,

before adjournment, the medium may go into the cabinet while the circle

sits for materialization phenomena. This practice may be made to form a

regular part of the proceedings of the circle. But the circle must be

very patient concerning the production of this class of phenomena, for

the necessary conditions are very difficult to develop, even when aided

by the most powerful spirits. Many sittings may be required before even

the slightest sign of materialization is obtained--but the final result

will repay much waiting and watching, much patience and much

perseverance. But sooner or later the phenomena will come if the proper

conditions are provided for them.
