DIVINE ANGELS

Now I will try to show you why this Divine Love is necessary, or as your learned humans might say, show you the Philosophy of the Transformation of the mere human into the Divine Angel, which every human becomes who receives this Divine Love into their soul.

I am here, Jesus.
    I wish to write tonight on the subject:  What it is that makes a human Divine. 
    When humans were Created, they were given the Highest Qualities that could be bestowed upon a mortal.  Yet, they were mere human, but the Perfect One.  With these qualities, were given them the possibility of becoming Divine, like the Father in His Divine Nature, but this Gift was never possessed by them, in its enjoyment of full fruition, until after my coming to Earth and making known to human that such a possibility existed.
    The First Created Humans never possessed this Gift in its fulfillment.  Merely had the possibility of receiving It, on condition that they continued in their obedience, and made the effort to receive It, in The Way that the Father declared was the Only Way.  You have been told in detail what this Gift was, and how the First Parents forfeited the enjoyment of it, by their disobedience and ambition to possess it, in a way that was not in accord with the Father's Way.
    As we have said, human lost this possibility at the time of the First Disobedience.  Thereafter, became gradually a human with their Moral Nature sinking lower and lower, until they became almost lost in the condition of the beasts in the field.  From that condition, they have been steadily improving, or progressing, towards their First Estate of Purity.  A great many humans have ceased to know, or have never known, that God is The Creator of All Things, and that All Creation is dependent upon Him for its Very Existence.  In their (self) assurance, and self-importance, they have assumed and professed to believe that their progress, or salvation, depends upon their own efforts.  That these efforts are sufficient to bring about this State of Purity, or Harmony with God's Laws and Desires.
    In this, humans are mistaken, for there is nothing in them that is Divine.  There never will be, when they depend upon their own selves, to progress to this State of Perfection.  The Divine Nature of the Father is not in human, and never become a part of them, until they pursue The Way, which is absolutely necessary for them to follow, in order to become anything more than mere human.
    I will not write more tonight as I think it best not to do so.  I understand that you could not prevent your condition of sleepiness.  I do not blame you.  I think it best to wait until later to finish what I desire to write.
    Well, my dear brother, believe that I have only Love for you, and will get close to you as we progress.  So I say, do not worry.
I will say goodnight, your brother and friend, Jesus.

June 27th, 1916
I am here, Jesus.
    I wish tonight to write you upon a subject that is of interest to all humankind.  I hope that we will be able to communicate, and you receive the message.
    I desire to write on the subject of:  Why the Love of God, I mean the Divine Love, is necessary for human to possess, in order that they may become At-One with the Father, and an inhabitant of the Celestial Kingdom.
    Already I have written you what this Divine Love is, in contradistinction to the Natural Love.  How it is necessary to save humans from their sins, so that they may become inhabitants of the Celestial Kingdom.  That nothing but this Divine Love will make a human At-One with the Father.  That no mere ceremony, or belief in me as the savior of humans, will effectuate that end.
    Now I will try to show you why this Divine Love is necessary, or as your learned humans might say, show you the Philosophy of the Transformation of the mere human into the Divine Angel, which every human becomes who receives this Divine Love into their soul.
    In the first place, human, as you have been informed, is a Special Creation of God, and is no greater than the component parts that enter into their Creation, as they are in their individual and aggregate qualities.  These parts are merely what God, in His Act of Creation, designed them to be.
    It must not be assumed that these parts, or any of them, are a part of God.  Or, of His Essence, or Qualities, for they are not.  They are as separate and distinct from Him, and His Qualities, as are the lower Creations of His Will, such as animals, vegetables and mineral substances.  The only difference is; that human is of a much Higher Order of Creation, in one particular made in the image of God.  No other of His Creatures has this image (the soul) in its Creation.  Nevertheless, human is no part of God, merely a distinct Creation.  In their best and purest state, only a human, having simply those qualities which were Created in them at the time of their coming into existence.
    There are certain qualities which human possesses, such as Love, wisdom, and the reasoning faculties, which may be said to resemble the godlike attributes.  And so they do.  Yet, they are not a part of God's Essence, or Qualities.  When humans assert that human is divine, or that they have in them the Divine Nature, or even a portion of the Divine Essence, they are wrong.  For the qualities in them that appear to be of this divine resemblance, are merely those, which were Created, for the purpose of making the human a Perfect Human.
    Because of this conception of human, as to their inherent qualities, they have, do, and will, lose the opportunity of becoming possessed of the Divine Nature, or Essence, of the Father.  Which they may obtain, if they will pursue the proper, and only method, that God has provided for them in order to be At-One with Him.
    The Universe of human can, and will, continue to exist, even though human may never become a partaker of this Divine Nature of the Father.  Human will live and enjoy the happiness that was bestowed upon them at the time of their Creation.  They will not lose the Perfect Condition of this Creation, after they shall have been separated from sin and error, their own creatures.  They will not be anything more than the Perfect Human.  In the time to come will not be anything less.  Yet, they will always, as long as they exist, remain distinct from the Divine Nature and Essence of the Father, just as they were at the time of their Creation, unless, they obtain this Divine Nature and Essence of the Father, in The Way that I mentioned.
    The Highest Endowment of human, either in soul, heart, or intellect, is merely that which belongs to them as a part of their Creation, and is not the smallest part of the Divine Nature and Qualities of the Father.  No part, or portion, of Divinity enters into human's Creation, no matter how divinely constituted human may appear to be, or godlike they may seem, in the greatness of their intellect, or in the extent of their Love Nature.  So you see, human is as distinct from God and from His Divinity, as is the animal, the brute, from human.  Must forever remain so, unless they follow the Only Way the Father has prescribed for them obtain to, in a portion of this Divinity.
    Now, all this shows that human, no matter how highly they may develop their intellect, or to what extent they may develop their Moral and Love Nature, cannot become more than the mere human that they were in the beginning, Perfect in every particular, for they were, in the beginning, Perfect in every particular.  As I have said before, God never makes a mistake as to the Perfection of His Creatures.  Even though, in the case of human, it may appear that He did, in giving them the Great Power of Free Will, which in its wrongful exercise has caused sin and evil to appear in the World of Human Consciousness.
    Human was made finite.  Their capacity for exercising any and all their qualities, is limited.  Beyond which they cannot possibly go.  Their intellect is bound by limits, as determined as the Law of God, which controls it.  Also, their capacity for Loving and for the enjoyment of their happiness.  Though they may live for All Eternity, either as human, or spirit, they cannot possibly extend, or pass beyond, the boundary lines of their Creation.  They cannot enter into the Realm of the Divine, where limitations do not exist, and capacity for receiving Knowledge, Wisdom, and Divine Love, for progression that is commensurate with the very Fountainhead of God, Himself.
    Then, such being the nature, limitation, and capacity of human, it is apparent that they can never, by virtue of their Creation, and the qualities which they possess, become a partaker of the Divine Nature and Essence of God, unless, they receive something, in addition to these qualities.  They must receive this something from without.  It will not do to say, that there is within them, as an inherent part of them, that, which when developed, will make them of a Nature Divine, and a part of the Essence of the Father.  For this is not True.  There is nothing in human of this Divine Nature.  It is impossible to produce an Essence Divine unless there be something from which it can be produced, that in some degree, has the Divine Nature of that Essence.  It would be the equivalent of producing something from nothing, which even God does not attempt to do.
    Then, as human is thus limited, all that flows from the qualities and attributes which they possess is necessarily limited.  The enjoyment of their intellect, the pleasures of their Love, the satisfaction of their reasoning powers, and, as a sum total, their capacity for happiness, have there bounds.  Besides, the Consciousness of Immortality can never be theirs, as either spirit, or mortal, even though they may strive for it to be.
    When human takes on the Divine Nature and becomes absorbed in the Essence of the Father, they then become like The Father.  Whatever their image to the Father may have been when they were mere human, now they become the Real Substance.  Limitations of possibilities removed.  Love sees no ending, intellectual development no boundaries, Happiness no limitations, Immortality becomes a Thing of Knowledge.  The soul, a New Creature, having the Divine Essence of the Father.  Until this New Creation has taken place, the Transformation becomes a thing of Reality, and the soul be made At-One with the Father, human cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, then, no longer human, but now a Divine Angel.
    Now, as I have written you before, all this can be accomplished only by the operation of the NEW BIRTH.  That is; the inflowing into the soul of human of the Divine Love of The Father.  This Divine Love contains the Essence of God's Divinity.  When human obtains It, they are then of the same Essence as the Father, and for the first time becomes a part of the Divine, and fitted to inhabit the Celestial Heavens.  In no other way can human partake of this Divine Nature.  It does not require much reasoning to show the logical Truth of this statement, for human, in their Earthly affairs, and in their material experiments in producing compounds from elements, applies the same Principle that I assert in my statement, “The dough cannot be leavened unless leaven is placed in the batch."
    So you see that without this Divine Love entering into the soul, it will be impossible for the natural human to become the Divine Angel.  Beliefs, creeds, doctrines, and sacrifices, cannot work this Transformation, and even though the beliefs may be without doubt, and the creeds and doctrines satisfactory, and the sacrifices without end, yet they will all be futile to change the soul of the mere human into the soul of the Divine Angel.  All this, in part, is why human should seek to obtain the Divine Love and become an inhabitant of the Celestial Spheres.
    I have written enough for tonight.  I am pleased at the way in which you received it.
    So with all my Love and blessings, I am your brother and friend, Jesus.

October 11th, 1916
I am here, Elias.
I will write a short message tonight as I promised.
    While on Earth, I was a prophet to the Hebrews, and tried to warn them that God was not pleased with the manner in which they were living, especially in not obeying the Commandments, as to their worship, and the individual lives they were leading.  I was not a human who knew the Attributes of God, as I now know them.  For then, to me, He was more a god of wrath and jealousy than (a God) of Love and Mercy.  The most of my teachings were to warn the Hebrews of the wrath that would certainly fall upon them unless they were more obedient and followed the Laws of Moses.
    I now know that the “wrath of god” is not a thing to be feared.  That His wrath is not a thing of Reality, and that when, humans disobey His Laws, and neglect to worship Him in Truth and in spirit, His Feeling towards them is one more of pity and sorrow than of wrath.  That instead of punishment, He extends to them His Mercy and Love.
    In my time the God of Love was not known to the people, in any practical way.  Although, He was written of as a God of Love, the people were not looking so much for Love, as the “fearing his wrath”.  It was only by threatening them with his wrath could they be made to realize that they were disobedient and aliens from Him.  They had not that soul development that comes with Love.  Their aspirations were almost wholly for the possession of the things of Life, and for a happiness that such possession could give to them, as they thought.  They expected a Kingdom of God on Earth.  Such Kingdom was to be one that should rule and govern the earthly affairs of humans.  Of course they believed that when such Kingdom should be established, sin, and the troubles of Life would be eradicated.  All the World would be subject to the dominion of such kingdom.  Their hopes and aspirations were in the nature of national hopes and aspirations, and not in those of the individual.  The individual was swallowed up in the nation.  Happiness was to be a national one instead of an individual one, except, so far as the national happiness might be reflected upon, and be partaken of, by the individuals.
    I, myself, knew nothing of the Divine Love.  Could not possibly have known, for then it was not open to human's seeking, as It had not been Restored by the Father.
    I knew of a higher development of the Natural Love than did most of the people, and realized what increased happiness such development would give to the individual who might possess it.  I also knew that prosperity and power of the nation, as such, would not bring the happiness of Love, but only the pleasures and satisfaction which increased possessions would naturally create.
    The Jews were a carnally minded race.  The development of the Spiritual side of their natures was very slight.  Their acquisitiveness was large, both as individuals and as a nation.  When they were prosperous, they lost their sense of dependence on God, and resorted to those practices, and that manner of living, that would enable them, as they thought, to get the most enjoyment out of their possessions.
    The future, that is; the Future after death, did not enter very much into their consideration of existence.  They lived emphatically for the present.
    If you will read the Biblical history of those times, you will find that most of the warnings of the prophets came to them when they, as a nation, were most prosperous, and as they thought, independent of God, or at least, of not being compelled to call upon Him for help and succor.
    What I have said showed the characteristics of the Jews.  They still have these characteristics, although since the coming of Christ and the teachings of his doctrines that have become so widely known, the Spirituality of the Jews have been increased and broadened.
    At times they would heed my warnings.  At other times they would not.  Sometimes they considered me as a friend, and sometimes as an enemy.

? 
    Well, I was psychic, and frequently heard voices of instruction and admonition from the unseen World.  As was our knowledge in those days, supposed that such voices were the voice of god, and so proclaimed to the people.  Now I know that such voices were those of spirits that were trying to help the people, and bring them to a realization of the Moral Truths, which Moses had taught.
    When Jesus was born into the flesh, there came with him a Rebestowal of the Divine Love (from God), and through his Teachings, that fact became known to humans.  We, who were in the Higher Spirit Spheres, also came to know of that Gift.  While none of us received It to the degree that Jesus did, yet we received It, and became Pure and Holy Spirits, free from sin and error, and partakers of the Divine Essence of the Father and possessors of Immortality.
    So, at the time of the Transfiguration on the Mount, some of us possessed that Divine Love, to such a degree that our appearances were shining and bright, as described in the Bible.  Jesus was brighter than Moses, or myself, for he had more of this Divine Love in his soul, and could manifest It to the wonderful degree that he did, notwithstanding his physical body.
    Our appearance, and his appearance, on The Mount, were to show to the mortals and spirits that the Divine Love had been Rebestowed, and received by both mortals and spirits.  This was the cause of our meeting.  While accounts of that event have been disseminated in the Mortal World ever since its occurrence, so also, had that fact became known in portions of the Spirit World.  Many spirits as well as mortals have sought for, and found, that Divine Love, to their Eternal Happiness.  Its existence was a fact then, and it is a fact now.  The Divine Love is open to all humankind, as well as spirits.
    The voice that the apostles heard, proclaiming that Jesus was the Well Beloved Son was not the voice of god, but that of one of the Divine Angel Spirits, whose mission it was to make the proclamation.  This incident was not a myth, but an actual fact, that formed a part of the Plan of the Father to assure humans of their Salvation.
    I will not write more now, but will come later and write you further on this subject of the Rebestowal of the Divine Love, and of my experience in receiving it.
    So with my Love and blessings, I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, Elias.
