The following is a message given to James Padgett in November 1918 by Francis Bacon and may be of particular interest to those who practice the various forms of spiritual healing.
Also, within the message is a statement, part of which I have capitalised to draw particular attention to it, which lends itself to the the notion of Dark Matter, something which has presented a question for Astro physics as well as quantum physics. The mathematical model reveals that there is something more out there in Space which as far as they are concerned should not be there but the maths indicate that there is.
In relation to this I had an experience one evening in 2004 in which an object fell to the floor from my hands and totally disappeared despite a determined search to find it. On finally giving up I was convinced that it would return sometime as over the years this has been the case with small things which go and then return quietly as if they had not gone at all. In this case it materialised before my very eyes from a height of around 29 inches or 74 centimetres the next morning. A little later I decided to read from a volume of the True Gospel Revealed Anew and on opening it at a random place the message on the page was an explanation about the science of how Jesus’ Resurrection took place and after reading it I understood that the experience had been given in order that I may accept the the explanation.
Although the experience may be classed as being paranormal, for all intents and purposes it seemed normal because it took place without any dramatics, but despite this I did ponder over it for many days afterwards for an explanation.

”The material of the universe is not confined to or entirely comprised in what mortals may suppose to be the only material, that is that which may be sensed by their five senses or some of them.
What is of itself material is always material no matter what form it may assume, whether visible or invisible to mortals; and THE LARGER PORTION OF THE MATERIAL OF THE UNIVERSE IS IN THE INVISIBLE, THOUGH SUBJECT TO TRANSFORMATION INTO THE VISIBLE, AND RETRANSFORMATION INTO THE INVISIBLE, the larger portion of the material of the universe is in the invisible world, though subject to transformation into the visible, and retransformation into the invisible, and the laws governing and controlling the material are the same, whether that material be to men visible and knowable or not.”

Comments on an article written by James Hyslop on Christianity and Spiritualism regarding laws which operated in certain miracles of Jesus
Received by James Padgett
November 20th , 1918.
I am here, Francis Bacon.
I have been with you tonight as you have read, and was somewhat interested in what James Hyslop had to say in his article on
Christianity and Spiritualism, and many things that he puts forth are true, and explain very satisfactorily why many of the miracles, so called, of the Bible, may be believed. As he says, they are not different in the nature of their operations or in the exercise of the law that produced them, from the physical phenomena which are manifesting themselves at this time among the investigators of Spiritualism; and, if today, the same law in its force that was brought into operation by Jesus and the disciples, could be called into operation, the same or similar phenomena would be produced. Of course, a great deal depends upon the medium and the amount of rapport that may be created by the communicating or rather operating spirit, for it must be understood that all the supposed miracles were the results of the work of spirits, who by reason of the harmony existing between themselves and the mortals, were able to call into operation the laws which were necessary to produce the results called miracles.
At the present time, there may not be persons who have sufficient development of these psychic powers, which were possessed by Jesus and the others, to produce such phenomena as they produced; but there have been many mortals since his time sufficiently gifted with these powers to cause manifestations very similar to those of the primitive Christian times, especially as regards healing and the like ; and today much healing is being performed by mortals, and which is attributed to various causes, such as mental healing and faith cures, but which is really due to the exercise of spirit powers by spirits whose duties are to perform that kind of work.
Mortals, of themselves, cannot bring into operation any of these laws, either of mind or soul, but are dependent upon the cooperation of spirits who use some of the properties possessed by these mortals to bring into exercise the laws which only can produce the healing.
And here I desire to state, that it is not necessary that the mortal be of a highly spiritual development in order that the powers of the spirit world may effect and change the conditions of the material of earth for the laws which central (control?) the material are sufficient, ordinarily, to bring about the healing of the physical or mental diseases of men, and therefore, you will find many mediums, and others not recognized as mediums, having this power of healing.
The healing of the body and the healing of the soul require the workings of different laws, and while spirits not having very much soul development, may successfully cooperate with mortals in like condition, in healing bodily ills, yet such spirits are impotent to heal the diseased soul or the purely spiritual condition of men. But spirits who have the power to produce the latter healing, may also heal the body. And this you must know that no spirit who is not what may be called, physically whole or sound, can cause the healing of a physically diseased mortal, for power of this kind can be possessed by and proceed from only those spirits who in their material nature are perfectly healthy and sound.
These spirits, while they have cast off the gross, physical material of the mortal, yet are still material so far as the spirit body and form and the properties which compose the same, are concerned.
The material of the universe is not confined to or entirely comprised in what mortals may suppose to be the only material, that is that which may be sensed by their five senses or some of them. What is
of itself material is always material no matter what form it may assume, whether visible or invisible to mortals; and the larger portion of the material of the universe is in the invisible world, though subject to transformation into the visible, and retransformation into the invisible, and the laws governing and controlling the material are the same, whether that material be to men visible and knowable or not.
This material has its quality of persistence after supposed death or destruction, although the form of its manifestation be changed; and from this you will see that he who is known as the materialist, with his supposed want of belief in immortality or the continuity of existence, is in error even as to the material world of which he assumes to have special knowledge, and being in error as to this, how can he claim to be right when he asserts that the purely spiritual has no possibility of continuity of existence or, as some understand, immortality.
Well, I have written enough, and feel that you will pardon my
intrusion; but I also feel somewhat justified in writing as I have done.
With best wishes. I am, Your friend,
Francis Bacon.
