Summary
Listen to episode 919 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Getting Over Your Fear of Death. Edited and adapted from Growth in Silence, the Undertone of Life by Susanna Cocroft.

They may or may not commune with us (so that we can see or hear them with our physical senses), but have we not all, in some receptive mood, when lifted above the petty cares of the day, felt a sweet influence pervading the very air?
