I came across this name after glancing over a chapter in Dialogues With The Master, by Paul Twitchell (1970), called THE TRUE REALITY. It was after I spotted an excerpt from that chapter that read:
"Soul never needs to make a striving effort in order to expand Its consciousness anywhere. Soul never needs to struggle to unfold all of Its wants. It has within Itself whatever is needed in the spiritual world."
I searched for that excerpt and found the following:
The soul never needs to make a striving effort, in order to expand its consciousness, anywhere.
The soul never needs to struggle to unfold all of its wants.
I found that in "I Reveal", The Landon Epistles.

Something else I found in that book as well. References to 'soul travel'.

That was very interesting, I thought.
The date of Landon's Epistles is uncertain. I'm guessing first half of the 20th century, since Landon died in 1945.
Some biography excerpts ...
It has been often stated that no religious movement in history produced as many vital and great personalities in its first hundred years of growth as the Metaphysical Movement of America. Brown Landone was one of them, and many thousands have been helped by his instruction, his healing ministry and his radiant writings. His name will be remembered along with Mary Baker Eddy, Emma Curtis Hopkins, Annie Rix Militz, Nona L Brooks, Malinda Cramer, Prentice Mulford, Charles and Myrtle Filmore, Ralph Waldo Trine, Thomas Troward, Christian D.

Brown Landone was born before the days of the "Gold Rush," on March 6, 1847, and lived to see all of our Modern Day inventions come into fruition - including the atomic bomb!

He served several terms on the Executive Board of the INTA, and also as District President for the States of New York, New Jersey and Florida. [... .]
