Spiritual Recognition

ESME A. GOLLSCHEWSKY

How heartwarming it is to see, coming toward us out of a sea of strange faces, one that is familiar! How comforting to hear our own language spoken in a foreign country or catch a first glimpse of our native land after a long sea voyage or overseas flight!

The faculty of recognition operates on different levels. There is the recognition of material phenomena. There is also a more ethereal type. This is the instinctive but sure affinity we experience when for the first time we meet a kindred spirit. Right away we feel that we know some stranger very well indeed, and that he knows us.
