INTER-WORLD MESSAGES is a compilation of three books of communications received by Winifred Willard from the higher planes: FROM THE SEVENTH PLANE (1946), SEEING THE INVISIBLE (1950), and PEACE THAT IS POWER (1957). The main teaching is that there is no death and that life is eternal. Some excerpts include:
*
The body is never anything except the housing of the soul. When the housing is outworn, it is laid aside as of no further use. Then the spirit which lives eternally, leaves its no-longer-useful home and goes to a better dwelling.
*
Only a small part of the spiritual realms may be opened to you while you are of earth. You could not endure it otherwise. God's will in this is supremely best, as in all other things. But it is desirable to impart to you and through you to others, some of the life that prevails in these sacred precincts where all is activity and growth and service and love and worship.
*
The Spiritual Planes are the realest things in the universe, peopled by those who have come up through tribulation, who know only the desire to come closer to the heart of the Infinite and to reflect His love in such service as they are assigned to render.
*
Earth people bother so much over the fear lest one loses his individuality when he comes to these Higher Planes. Of course he does not He has simply stepped up higher, laid aside the outworn body, robed in garments of immortality and exchanged the physical for the spiritual. . . . But he does not forget that which was his earth life. He only begins to learn the lessons which he did not learn and moves on into higher realms of existence and service which were not revealed to him while he was on earth.
*
All is so marvelously ordained that we thrill at the provisions which the Creator has made for His children, through which they come to their full stature as children of the Spiritual Kingdom.

Many another in years past has been privileged to impart to earth something of life and duty and God from these Planes. They are all carriers of Divine truth to certain hearts of earth. Quite naturally these follow a certain line of similarity in that they all seek to show something of what life over here is, and more of God's nature and love than earth minds have known.
