God - Who and What is God? God is Soul, and only Soul, which has in It all the Attributes of Love, Wisdom, and Thought for the welfare of His Creatures. He is, a thinking and seeing God. All the Energies of His Soul are used to make humans better and happier. As is the natural father of the human a personal father, so is the Great Soul of God, a Personal Father to all His Children. Humans, when they have the development of their souls in the Divine Love, will know that God is a Personal God. Something more than an all enveloping energy, or force, or mere manifestation of His Existence. Jesus.

I am here, Jesus.
You are now in condition. I will give you a short message.
When I was on Earth, I was not worshiped as god. But was considered merely as the Son of God, in the sense that in me, were imposed the Divine Truths of my Father, and many of His Wonderful and Mysterious Powers. I did not proclaim myself to be God. Neither did I permit any of my disciples to believe that I was God. Only, that I was His Beloved Son sent to proclaim to humankind His Divine Truths and show them The Way to the Divine Love of the Father. I was not different from other humans, except, that I possessed, to a degree, this Divine Love of God, which made me free from sin, and prevented the evils that formed a part of the nature of humans, from becoming a part of my nature.
No human, who believes that I am God, has a Knowledge of the Divine Truth, or is obeying the Commandments of God by worshiping me. Such worshipers are blaspheming and are doing the Cause of God, and my teachings, great injury. Many a human would have become a True Believer in, and worshiper of, The Father, and follower of my teachings, had not this blasphemous dogma been interpolated into the Bible. It was not with my authority, or in consequence of my teachings, that such a very injurious doctrine was promulgated, or believed in.
I am only a son of my Father, as you are. While I was always free from sin and error, as regards the True Conception of my Father's True Relationship to Humankind, yet you are His son also. If you will seek earnestly and pray to the Father with Faith, you may become as free from sin and error, as I was then, and am now.
The Father is Himself, Alone. There is no other God besides Him. No other God to be worshiped.
I am His Teacher of Divine Truth. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, because; in me are those Qualities of Good and Knowledge which fit me to show The Way and lead humans to Eternal Life in the Father. To teach them that God has prepared a Kingdom in which they may live forever, if they so desire.
Not withstanding my teachings, humans, and those who have assumed high places in what is called the christian church, impose doctrines so at variance with the Truth, that in these latter days, many humans, in the exercise of an enlightened freedom and of reason, have become infidels and turned away from God and His Love. Have thought and taught that human themselves are sufficient for his or her own salvation.
The time has come when these humans must be taught to know; that while the teachings of these professed authorities on the Truths of God are all wrong, they, these same humans, are in error when they refuse to believe in God and my teachings. What my teachings are, I know, is difficult to understand from the writings of the New Testament. For many things therein contained, I never said. Many things that I did say are not written therein. I am now going to give to the World the Truths, as I taught them when on Earth, and many that I never disclosed to my disciples, or inspired others to write.
No human can come to the Father's Divine Love, except they be born again. This is the Great and Fundamental Truth, which humans must learn and believe. For without this New Birth, humans cannot partake of the Divine Essence of God's Love. Which, when possessed by a human, makes them At-One with the Father. This Divine Love comes to human by the workings of the Holy Ghost, causing this Divine Love to flow into the heart and soul, and filling it, so that all sin and error must be eradicated.
I am not going to tell tonight just how this working of the Holy Spirit operates. I say; if a human will pray to the Father, and believe, and earnestly ask that this Divine Love be given them, they will receive it. When It comes into their soul, they will realize it.
Let not humans think, that by any effort of their own they can come into this Union with the Father, because they cannot. No river can rise higher than its source. No human, who has only the Natural Love, and filled with error, can of their own powers, cause that Natural Love to partake of the Divine, or their nature to be relieved of such sin and error.
Human is a mere Creature, and cannot create anything higher than themselves. So human cannot rise to the Nature of the Divine, unless the Divine first comes into that human and makes them a part of Its Own Divinity.
All humans, who do not get a part of this Divine Essence, will be left in their natural state. While they may progress to higher degrees of goodness and freedom from sin, and from everything that tends to make them unhappy, yet, they will be only natural humans, still.
I came into the World to show humans The Way to this Divine Love of the Father, and teach them His Spiritual Truths. My mission was that, in all its perfection. Incidentally, to teach them the Way to greater happiness on Earth, as well as in the Spirit World, by teaching them the Way to the Purification of the Natural Love; even though they neglected to seek for and obtain this Divine Love and become One with the Father.
Let humans ponder this momentous question. They will learn that the happiness of the Natural Human, and the Happiness of the human who has obtained the Attributes of Divinity, are very different, and in All Eternity must be separate and distinct.
My teachings (in these messages) are not very hard to understand and follow. If humans will only listen to them, believe them, and follow them, they will learn The Way and obtain the One Perfect State of Happiness, which the Father has prepared for His Children. No human can obtain this State of Celestial Bliss, unless they first get this Divine Love of the Father, and so becomes At-One with the Father.
I know it is thought, and taught, that morality, correct living, and great Natural Love will assure a human's future happiness. To a degree, this is True. This happiness is not that Greater Happiness which God desires His Children to have, and to show The Way to which I came to Earth to teach. In some hearts and minds my Truths found a lodgment, and were preserved to save humankind from total Spiritual darkness, and a relapse to worship of form and ceremony only.
I have written you this to show that you must not let the teachings of the Bible, and what humans wrote, or professed to have written therein, keep you from receiving and understanding what I write.
I shall write no more tonight. I will continue to tell you the Truths, which will be "My New Gospel to all Humans". When they have heard my messages, they will believe that there is only One God, and only One to be worshiped.
With my Love and blessings, I close for this time. Jesus.
God
March 3rd 1915
I am here, Jesus.
You are in a better condition tonight. I will continue my messages.
God is a God of Love. No human can come to Him, unless they receive the Divine Love of the Father in their soul.
As humans, are by nature (the nature of their thoughts and beliefs in error and untruth, and the resulting actions; not the True Nature of their Perfectly Created Souls), sinful and inclined to error and the violation of God's Laws, they can be Redeemed from that sin only by obtaining this Divine Love. That can be obtained only through prayer and Faith in the Willingness of God to bestow this Divine Love upon whomsoever may ask for it. I do not mean that there must be formal prayers, or compliance with any church creeds, or dogmas. The prayer that is efficacious, is that which emanates from the soul and the earnest aspirations of a human. So let humans know, that unless they have the Real Soul Longings for this Divine Love, it will not be given to them.
No mere intellectual desires will suffice. The intellect is not that faculty in human that Unites them to God. Only the soul is made in the likeness of the Father. Unless this likeness is Perfected, by a filling of the soul with the Divine Love of the Father, the likeness is never complete.
Love is the one great thing in God's Economy of Real Existence. Without it, all would be chaos and unhappiness. Where it exists, Harmony and Happiness also exists. This I say, because I know from personal experience that it is True. Let not humans think that God is a God who wants the worship of humans with the mere intellectual faculties, that is not True. His Divine Love is the One Thing that can possibly Unite Him and them. This Divine Love is not the Natural Love that is a part of human's natural existence. The Natural Love that humans have, who have not received a part of the Divine Love, is not sufficient to make them One with the Father. Nor is that Natural Love the kind that will enable them to enter the Celestial Spheres and become as the Angels, who are filled with this Divine Love, and who do always the Will of the Father. This Divine Love is found only in the souls of those who have received it through the Ministrations of the Holy Spirit, the only Instrument of God's Workings, that is used in bringing about the Salvation of Humans.
I have seen the operations of the Holy Spirit upon the souls of humans. I know what I tell you to be True. No human must rest in the assurance that any other Instrumentality, or medium, than the Holy Spirit will enable them to obtain this Divine Love. They must not rest in the thought that without this they can become a part of God's Kingdom, for no Love, but this Divine Love, can entitle and qualify them to enter that Kingdom.
When on Earth, I taught the Doctrine of Salvation only through the workings of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling the Commandments of the Father. Mere belief in me, or in my name, without this Divine Love, will never enable any human to become the possessor of this Divine Love. Hence the saying, "that all sins against me, or even against God's Commandments may be forgiven humans, but the sin against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven them, neither while on Earth, nor when in the Spirit World, "unpardonable". This means that so long as a human rejects the influences of the Holy Spirit, they sin against it. Such sin prevents them from receiving this Divine Love. Hence, in that state, they cannot possibly be forgiven, and be permitted to enter into the Celestial Kingdom of the Father.
God's Divine Love is not that which needs the Love of human to give It a Divine Essence. On the contrary, the Natural Love of human, in order to become Divine in its Nature, must be completely enveloped in, or absorbed by, the Divine Love of the Father. So, let human know that their Natural Love is but the mere shadow of what the Father's Divine Love is, and that so long as they refuse to receive this Divine Love of the Father, they will be compelled to remain apart from the Father, and enjoy only the happiness which their Natural Love affords them.
I am so certain that all humans may receive this Divine Love, if they will only seek for It in the True Way, and with earnest desire and Faith, that I know it is possible for all humans to be saved. But humans have the Great Gift of Free Will. The exercise of that Gift towards the seeking and finding of this Divine Love seems to be a difficulty that will prevent a large majority of the human race from receiving this Great Redemptive Boon.
My Father is not desirous that any human should live through All Eternity without this Divine Love. But the time will come, and very soon, when the Privilege of obtaining this Divine Love will be withdrawn from humankind. When that great event takes place, never afterwards will the privilege be restored. Humans who are then without It will be compelled to live through All Eternity with only their Natural Love to comfort them, and get whatever happiness they may be able to obtain from such Natural Love. Humans may think that this time of separation will never come, but in that, they are mistaken, and when too late, they will realize it.
The Harmony of my Father's Universe is not depending on all humans receiving this Divine Love, because in the workings of God's Laws of Harmony on humans souls, all sin and error will be eradicated. Only Truth will remain. But the mere absence of sin does not mean that all parts of God's Creation will be peopled by spirits and humans who are equally happy, or who are filled with the same kind of Love. The human who is free from sin and has only their Natural Love, will be in Perfect Harmony with other humans possessing the same kind of Love. They will not be in Harmony with those spirits who have this Divine Love and the Supreme Happiness, which It gives. Yet, such differences in Love and happiness will not create discord, or want of Harmony in the Universe.
Adam and Eve, or whom they personify, had not this Celestial Love, only the Natural Love that belonged to their Creation as human beings. Yet, they were comparatively happy. But their happiness was not like that of the Angels, who live in the Celestial Heavens where only this Divine Love of God exists. They were mortals. When temptation came to them, the Natural Love that they possessed was not able to resist it. They succumbed. So, even though human may hereafter live forever, and be free from sin and error, yet, they will always be subject to temptations which this Natural Love may not be able to resist. I mean that their nature will be merely the nature that Adam and Eve had. Nothing greater, or less. Even in that condition they may be able to resist all temptations that may assail them, yet, they will always be subject to fall from their state of happiness, and so become more or less unhappy. This is the future of humans who have not received the Divine Love.
But the spirit (soul), who has this Divine Love, becomes, as it were, a part of Divinity Itself, and will never be subject to temptation, or unhappiness. They will be free from all powers that may possibly exist for leading them to unhappiness, as if they were a very god. I mean that their Divinity cannot possibly be taken from them by any power, influence, or instrumentality, in all the Universe of God. This Divine Love makes a mortal and sinful human, an Immortal and sinless spirit (soul), destined to live through All Eternity in the Presence of, and At-One with the Father.
So, if humans would only think, and realize, the importance of obtaining this Divine Love, they would not be so careless in their thoughts and aspirations, concerning those things which will determine their future state through All Eternity.
The importance of these Divine Truths cannot be too forcibly placed before humans for their consideration. When the time comes for them to pass over, the more they have pondered on and obtained Knowledge of these Divine Truths, the better will be their condition in the Spirit World. The Spirit World will not help them so very much, to obtain a more enlightened insight into these Spiritual matters, because in this World humans differ, and have their opinions, just as on Earth. Of course, they have not all the temptations to indulge their passions and appetites, which they had when in the flesh. But as regards their opinion of Spiritual Things, the opportunities are not very much greater, except in this; that because of the freedom from the passions and influences of the flesh, they may sooner turn their thoughts to Higher Things. In this way, sooner realize that only this New Birth in Love of the Divine can save them entirely from the natural results that follow the possession of only the Natural Love. A spirit is only a human, without an earthly body, and the cares that necessarily belong to the obligations of Earth ties. Even as a spirit, some retain these cares for a long time after coming over, and then are relieved of them by paying the penalties of a violated Law.
Well, I have written long and must stop. So I say with my blessings and Love, goodnight.
Your fellow spirit, Jesus.

February 18th, 1916
I am here, your Grandmother. (Ann Rollins)
Well, my son, I come tonight as I promised, for the purpose of writing you a letter telling you of a certain Spiritual Truth that I desire you to know.
I am now in the Third Celestial Sphere, as I already told you. I am in a much more exalted condition in my Knowledge of Spiritual Truths than I have ever been, and have opened up to me a Spiritual View (soul perceptions), that increases my understanding of Divine Truth, and of the question of the Father's Provisions for the Happiness and Salvation of His Children.
I know now, more than ever, that He is a Real Existing God of Love, Power and Wisdom. That wrath, such as is taught in the Bible, is no part of His Nature. That He has, for His Children on Earth, as well as in the Spirit World, only Love, Solicitude and Sympathy.
He is not a God that is afar off, waiting for the arrival of the great judgment day, in order to approve, or condemn, His Children according to the deeds done on Earth. He is with all humans and spirits, in a way that His Influence of Love and Beneficence may be felt by them, if they will only place themselves in that condition of receptivity of soul that such influence may be felt. For as we have before said; the relationship and nearness of God to human depend, to a very large extent, upon the will and desires of human themselves. God is not, in what may be called His Personality, with humans, as has been taught by the teachers of the religions of the bibles of the World.
Humans do not live, move, and have in Him, their being, as Saint Paul wrote. His Personality (Soul) has a Location, which is not everywhere, but in the High Heavens. I know that this will appear startling to many persons, orthodox, and otherwise. That it apparently takes from them the consolation of believing and feeling that God is with, and in, them. Nevertheless, what I say is True. He is not in them. Or, in Nature, as some of the scientists who believe in God say. He is not in every flower, or tree, or other Manifestation of His Creation. As regards His Personality, is not omnipresent, though He has a Knowledge of all things which He Created. I say which He has Created, for there are some things which appear to human, as a part of the realities of the Universe, which He did not create, but which human alone created. For these things He has no love, and does not approve of, or favor their existence. In the end they will be destroyed from the face of His Universe.
When I say that God, in His Personality, is not everywhere, and not with humans at all times forming a part of their being, I do not mean that it shall be understood that He is not the Loving, Watchful Father, trying to make them happy and save them from the results of their own many wrong doings. For such inference would not be True. While, as I say, He is not with humans in this Personality, yet He is with them in the sense, and Truth, that His Attributes of Love, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Power are with them always.
Life emanates from God, but Life is not God. It is only one of His Attributes, conferred upon the objects of His Creation, that they may live, grow, and fulfill the designs of their Creation. When that purpose has been accomplished, He withdraws from them this Attribute of Life. Humans can realize that fact. God has not Himself, ceased to be a part of that object. He never was a part of it. Only this (His) Attribute (Spirit of Life) has ceased to be a part of the object. God is the Source and Origin of all Life. That Life is merely one of His Creatures, as we say. As is human, or other things which mortals call, matter. Human does not live, move, and have their being in God, merely in the Attributes of God. So you see, not all these Attributes together constitute God, for He is a Personality from which all these Attributes flow.
I know that it is difficult for you to comprehend the full purport of what I intend to convey, but you may in a way grasp my meaning.
Love is a Greater Attribute than even Life. But Love is not God, just as Love is not human, though it is their greatest possession, when it exists in its Purity. As human has many attributes, which all together do not make the human, so God has many. Yet they are only parts of His Nature, and not He.
Human has a physical body and a mind, and yet, they do not constitute human, for they may lose them both and still be human, or spirit. That is; the ego, the soul, is the Real Human, the (soul) personality. All the wonderful parts of human, such as the mind, affections, desires, and will, are merely of them. If they were deprived of any of them, they would still be human. Though, not the Perfect Human, as when they are all with them performing their proper functionings.
Human is so Created, that unless they have these qualities, which in their Creation were made parts of them, and which were necessary to make them the Perfect Creature that they were, while they are still human. Yet they are not the Perfect Human that God decreed them to be. Until these qualities are fully restored, or regained, by them, they will not be the human that was the Greatest Handiwork of the Almighty.
God is not God by reason of having these Qualities. These Qualities exist, because they are the Attributes of God. He never loses them. Nor do they become hidden, or cease to do their functioning. Always are they Existing, working, and obedient to His Being (Soul).
God is Soul, and Soul is God. In this Soul does His Personality consist, without individuality, but Real and Existing, and Life, from which flow all these Attributes of Life and Love, etc., of which I have spoken. God is Spirit, but Spirit is not God, only one of His Qualities.
I write this to give you some additional conception of who and what God is. To show you that He is not in human, nor does human have their being in God. To further show you that God does not, and could not, exist in the same place with those things which are not in accord with His Nature and Qualities. Were He in human, or human in Him, then no sin, or error, or things which violate would exist.
I must stop now, but will come soon to finish my message.
With all my Love, I am Your Grandmother, Ann Rollins.
God
February 25th, 1916
I am here, Your Grandmother (Ann Rollins).
I come to resume my discourse, if you think that you are in condition to receive the same. Well we will try. If I find that you are not, I will stop until later.
As I was saying, God is not in humans, or material things, as regards His Personality. Only those Attributes of His, which humans generally considered to be God, are Manifested in the material things.
As I have said, God is not the Creator of all things that appear to have an existence. For many things, which control and govern the conduct of humans are entirely the creatures of human, and are not in Harmony with the Laws of God, or with His Will. Hence, when it is realized that there exists in the souls and minds of humans, evils, that are not in Harmony with God's Creations, you can readily see that God cannot be, and is not, in such souls and minds, nor are His Attributes. Because, as is said in the Laws of physical philosophy, two things cannot occupy the same place at the same time. So we may say, as regards Spiritual Philosophy, two things cannot occupy the same soul, or mind, at the same time. Especially when they be antagonistic, or opposed, to each other in their qualities, or fundamentals. Until the one vacates its occupancy, the other cannot come in. This is invariably True of the Creatures of God, and the (evil) creatures of human, for they are always, under all circumstances, opposed to each other.
It must be understood that when I speak of the Creatures of God, my meaning must not be taken as including God. For He, as the Creator, is altogether different from His Creatures. While His Creatures, or certain attributes, may find a lodgment and habitation in the souls of humans, and the minds of humans, and in the existence of material things, yet He, God, never finds such lodgment. Is never a part of such existences. He is as distinct from the Creatures, or better probably, Emanations of His, as are the thoughts and desires of human, distinct from the human themselves.
God is in His Heavens. Those Heavens have a locality. Just as the different spheres of the Spirit World, in which spirits have their homes, have localities. His Locality is way beyond the highest Celestial Spheres known to the highest spirit, and towards which spirits are always progressing. As they progress, the more and closer they come in contact with these Attributes of God. Which are constantly flowing from Him.
Even Jesus, who, as you know, is the brightest of all the spirits, and the one possessing more of these Attributes of the Father than any other spirit, has never seen God, except through the soul perception. Nor, ever realized that God is in him, or forms a part of him. Mistaken and deceived are humans, when they say, or believe, that God is in them, or that in Him they live, move, and have their being. To believe this as True, God can only be a kind of nebulous something, inconsistent as the air, as many of the Spiritualists say, merely a force permeating the whole Universe. Divided into many and infinitesimal manifestations. Seen and felt today, tomorrow having no existence. A something, less substantial than human, weak at once, and powerful at the same time, a contradiction beyond conception, or explanation.
Such is not God. All these manifestations are merely evidence of the Existence of a Substantial, and, I may say, never varying, Self Existing Being, who is not the creature of human's mind, or of human's necessities, or desires. But the Creator of All, even of these wise humans who cannot conceive of any God but nature, the mere Creature of His Being, Wisdom, and Power.
The human mind, when left to itself, that is; to its own evolution as your scientists say, and not influenced by the Revelations of Spiritual Truths, or the suggestions of spirits who have advanced in Knowledge of things beyond the material, has not improved much since the days when they lived and died the sun worshipers, the worshipers of the sacred cats, bulls, and elephants, of the storms, thunders and lightnings, and god was in all these manifestations, immanent and real, to be appeased, or loved, as necessity required. Today, among your civilized nations, and the wise humans of these nations, who can see no God in the Spiritual, the aggregate of all these material things is the god, which they must worship, if they worship at all.
Nature is god to them. You see, that the only improvement, if any there be, that their minds have over the minds of the worshipers of the sun and in animals etc., that I have mentioned, is that those minds are not satisfied to see god in a single manifestation, but there must be a combination of all these manifestations, which they call Nature. You see, it is only a difference in degree. The scientist of today who refuses to accept, or believe, in any God, who may be of a Spiritual Nature, is exactly the counterpart of their so-called barbarian brother, who could see Him only in the Sun, etc., in everything. Except that they demand a larger god, who must be in the lowest form of mineral existence, as well as in the highest form of solar excellence, and even in human. For with some, human is their own and only god.
It is questionable whether these wise humans are not more limited in their conception and acceptance of a God, than were the earlier uncivilized brothers. Because many of the latter saw beyond, and behind, their Sun god, and god of thunders, etc., another and greater God, whom they could not see, but could feel, and in their souls realized His Existence.
The wise humans of civilizations have so evolved their intellects, that they have lost their soul perceptions. No God, beyond the horizon of their intellectual perceptions, can exist. Hence, as they think they know nature, nature as all of the Creation, and there can be no other God than nature. Oh, the terrible mistake!
God then, as I have said, is a Being, a Soul, with a Personality, that has a Location, high up in the Heavens, towards whom all spirits of the Celestial Heavens, and many of the Spiritual Spheres, are striving to approach in greater and greater nearness. As they approach, they realize and know the increased Love, Life, and Light that emanates from the Fountainhead of these Attributes of Perfection.
So I repeat, God is not in human, or beast, or plant, or mineral, but only are His Attributes, as He sees the necessity for their workings. Human does not live, move, and have their being in God.
Well, my son, I have, in my imperfect way, given you some idea of; Who and What God is. My explanation is, in substance, the consensus of the Knowledge of the Celestial Spirits, whose Knowledge is based upon the Divine Truths, that no mortal, or all the mortals combined, can possibly learn with their finite minds (but may with developed souls perceptions of Divine Love. Ed.).
I think that you have received my ideas and words quite correctly. I hope the Truths, which I have written, may prove beneficial to all humankind.
I am very happy, and will come again soon and write you some other Truths, which may interest you. I must stop now. With all my Love and blessings, I am your own Loving Grandmother, Ann Rollins.
God
January 31st, 1917
I am here, Saul.
I have not written you for sometime. I would like to say only a few words. These are; that never, in all the battles with the Amalekites, did God help me, or bring to me victory, as is set forth in the Old Testament. Although, some of the prophets, like Samuel, at the time might have thought. Yet, as I now know, it was not True. God was not the partial and particular patron of the Jews. To Him it was just as sinful for the Jews to commit murder, and the other horrible crimes that are mentioned in the book, in connection with my Life as King, as it would have been for the pagans to have done the same thing.
God is not the God of any race! He is the God of every individual child who comes to Him in True supplication and prayer seeking His Love and Help in their Spiritual Nature. God will respond. The individual surely will be helped. But should that individual come to Him, seeking power and assistance to murder their fellow human, no matter how great an enemy they might be, God would not help them, or approve of their desires. This being so, you can readily see that He would not help any nation to commit such acts and gain the victory.
I want to tell you here, that God is not a god of nations, but of individuals only. Only as the individuals that compose the nations, can He be said to be a God of nations. He wants not the praise of humans, or of nations, because of victory that they might acquire through bloodshed and cruelties ascribed to His help. He wants the praise of humans only because their souls may have been Awakened to His Love, and have acquired victory over sin and evil.
Nations rise, fall, and disappear from the face of the Earth. The individuals who compose these nations never die, even though the physical bodies die. God is a God only of those things that never die. He is interested in having the individual become victor over sin and the appetites of the flesh.
Of course, the individuals make the nation. Give it its character and qualities. Hence, the nation will become sinful and cruel, as the individuals that compose it become sinful and cruel. He does not deal with nations as such. Only with the small, but important, units that make the nation. Hence, for a nation to say that God is our God, or that God will help us to victory over our enemies, is all wrong. When the individual gains the victory over their greatest enemy, themselves, then they can claim that God is their God, and give Him the praise. When all the individuals of a nation have gained that victory, then that nation can proclaim that God is its God and render to Him praise for the victory. Only in such event is any nation justified in saying, "God is our God."
Here let me say, that no christian nation, so called, has yet, as individuals, attained to that condition of righteousness and victory over sin, that it can claim to be God's chosen nation.
So, I say, that I, Saul the King, before my alleged fall from the Grace of God, was no more helped by God, than I was after that supposed event. For the reason, that while outwardly I may have appeared to seek God's directions and listened to the advice of His prophets, yet inwardly, I was no more in accord with Him, or reconciled to Him, than I was after the momentous event.
God never helped the Jews as a nation, to any greater extent, than He did any other nation. For they, as individuals, were no more in attunement with Him, than were many individuals of what were called the pagan nations.
When I went to Samuel in my despair, as the Bible portrays, and felt the burden of the sins of my Life, I became nearer to God than I had ever been before. He was more my God than ever, though I did not realize it.
I merely write this to show humans that they must not believe and rely on the statement, that because I was said to have observed God's Will and obeyed His Commands before the time that I realized defeat was certain to be mine, that God was any more my God then, directing and assisting me to overcome my enemies, than He was after that event.
I have written enough and will now stop. So with all my Love, and the assurance that God is a God of the individual, and not of the nation, I will say goodnight.
Your brother in Christ, Saul.

The following is a very powerful message. It is highly recommended, from experience, that one pray deeply and earnestly for an inflowing of God's Divine Love by the Holy Spirit prior to studying the message, so that, the souls perceptions of Love and Truth are opened up to the perception of Divine Truth.
God
May 25th, 1917
I am here, Jesus.
I have been with you as you prayed. I joined with you in your prayer to the Father for the inflowing of His Great Divine Love into your soul in great abundance. I know that His Holy Spirit is Present, that His Divine Love is flowing into your soul, and that you are becoming in At-Onement with the Father. His Divine Love will always come to you when you pray as you have tonight. His Listening Ear is always open to the earnest aspirations of His Children, who come to him with the True Longings of the Soul. You have the "secret" of reaching the Father's Divine Love. On all occasions, when you feel that you need that Divine Love, or desire a nearness to the Father, use the secret. You will not be disappointed.
You are in better condition tonight in your Soul Development and Perceptions, and can receive my message, which I have desired for sometime to communicate. To do, which I was waiting, only for you to be in a complete rapport with me.
Well, you will remember, that in the early stages of our writings, I communicated to you my knowledge and conception of "Who and What God Is". That I have recently told you that I desired to rewrite the message, as your condition is now so much better to receive these Truths, than it was when the message was written. So, tonight, I will deliver the message. I will take a more complete possession of your brain, and control of your hand, than I was able to do at the time mentioned.
Then the question is; "Who and What is God?"
In dealing with this question, you must realize that it is not so easy to describe, in language that mortals can comprehend, the Essence and Attributes of God. I feel the limitations that I am under, in endeavoring to give you a satisfactory description of the Only and True God. Not because of the paucity of Knowledge and conception on my part, but because of the fact that you have not the required Soul Development to enable me to form the necessary rapport with you, in order that through your brain, may be expressed the Exact Truth, as to who The Father Is.
Well, to begin, God is Soul. Soul is God. Not the soul that is in the Created human, but the Soul that is Deity, Self-Existent, without beginning, or ending. Whose Entity is the One Great Fact in the Universe of Being.
God is without form, such as has been conceived of by human, in nearly all ages. Especially by those who believe in the Bible of the Hebrews, as well as in that of the Christians. Nevertheless, He is of (Spiritual) Form, which only the soul perceptions of the soul of a human, which has arrived at a certain degree of Soul Development that is taken on the Divine Nature of the Father, and thus become a part of the Soul of God, can discern and Realize as an Entity. There is nothing, in all Nature, with which humans are acquainted, or have knowledge of, that can be used to make a comparison, even in the spirit perceptions, with this Great Soul. Hence, for humans to conceive of God, as having a form, in any manner resembling that of human, is all erroneous. Those, who in their beliefs and teachings, deny the anthropomorphic God are correct.
Nevertheless, God is of Form, such as to give Him an Entity, Spiritual Substance, and Seat of Habitation, in contradistinction to that God, which in the teachings of some humans, is said to be everywhere, in this substance and entity. In the trees, rocks, thunder, lightning, in humans and beasts, and in all Created Things. In whom, humans are said to live, move, and have their being. No, this "concept" of God, is not in accord with the Truth. It is vital to the knowledge and salvation of humans, that such conception of God be not entertained, or believed in.
To believe that God is without Form is to believe that He is a mere Force, Principle, or nebulous Power, as some say, the resultant of Laws. Which Laws, as a fact, He has Established for the controlling of His Universe of Creation, which are expressed to humans by these Very Powers and Principles, that to some extent, they can comprehend.
The child has asked, "Who made God?" Because the wise humans cannot answer that question, in their wisdom, they conclude, and assert, that there can be no Real God of Personality, or Soul Form. Hence, only Force, Principle, or evolved laws can be God. In their own conceit, think that they have solved the question. The child may not be satisfied with the answer. May ask the wise humans, "Who made Principle, Force, and Laws, that must be accepted as the only God?" Then, the wise humans cannot answer, unless they answer, "God.", which they do not believe, which let me say, is the True and Only Answer.
God is back of Force, Principle, and Law, which are only expressions of His Being, which without Him, could not exist. They are only existences; changeable, dependent, and subject to the Will of God, who only, is Being.
God then is Soul. That Soul has its Form, perceptible only to Itself, or that of human, which, by reason of the sufficient possession of the Very Substance of the Great Soul, has become like unto God, not in image only, but in Very Essence. We spirits, of the Highest Soul Progression, are enabled by our soul perceptions to see God, and His Form. Here, I use the words "see" and "form", as being the only words that I can use to give mortals a comparative conception of what I am endeavoring to describe.
When it is remembered that mortals can scarcely conceive of the form of the spirit body of a human, which is composed of, or formed of, the material of the Universe, though not usually accepted to be of the material, it will be readily seen that it is hardly possible for me to convey to them, a faint idea even, of the Soul form of God, which is composed of that, which is Purely Spiritual, that is; not of the material, even though to the highest degree sublimated.
Although, I am not able, because of the limitations mentioned, to describe to humans, that form (of the spirit body of human), which they may glean a conception of the Soul's Form, as such Form can be seen only with the soul's eye, which eyes, humans do not possess, it must not be believed, that because humans cannot understand, or perceive, the Truth of the Soul's Form, therefore, it is not a Truth. A Truth, Truth of the Soul's Form, therefore, it is not a Truth. A Truth, though not conceived, or perceived, by humans, spirits, or Angels, is still a Truth. Its existence does not depend upon its being known. Even though all the mortals of Earth, the spirits and Angels of Heaven, save one, could not perceive the existence of that Truth, yet its existence, perceived by that one, irrefutably proves its Reality.
As I have said, the Truth of God's Form, the Soul's Form, can be testified to, by more than one of the Celestial Spirits of humans passed from Earth. The possibility is before mortals of the present Life, in the Great Future, if their souls have become possessed of the Divine Substance of God's Divine Love, in sufficient abundance, to perceive God, as I have attempted to explain.
The Created soul of human has its form. It, being made in the image of God. Yet human cannot see that form. Although, it is a fact, and can be testified to by many in the Spirit Realms.
Here, it need to be said, that when in our messages, we speak of God as being without form, we mean any such form as humans have, or think they have conceived of. Our expressions must not be considered as contradictory, to what I have tried to explain as the Form of God.
Well, in addition to the Form, God has a Personality. This is expressed and made known to humans by certain Attributes, which to the Consciousness of humans, is Existent in the Universe. To some philosophers, scientists, and wise humans, these Attributes, are their impersonal god himself. To them, the only god. They make the created, the creator, not realizing that behind the expression must be the Cause. That greater than the Attribute, must be that, from which the expression of the attribute is projected. Or, as they better like to say, evolved.
Here, I, who know, desire to say, that these Manifested Attributes, Forces, Powers, Principles, Laws, and Expressions, do not, all together, constitute, or be that, from which they flow, or in which, they have their Source. God is Himself, Alone. His Attributes, or Expressions, Manifested to mortals, or spirits, are only the results, or effects, of the Workings of His Spirit. Which Spirit, is only the Active Energy of His Soul, Himself. Hence, the Form of God is not distributed over the Whole Universe of His Creation, where His Attributes may be, or because they are everywhere manifested.
No, as was said by Moses of old, and as was said by me when on Earth. God is in His Heavens. Although it may be surprising, and startling, to mortals to hear, God has His Habitation. God the Substance, the Self-Existing and Soul Form, has His Locality. Humans do not live, move, and have their existence, in God. In His emanations, expressions, and Spirit, they do.
As you are somewhat exhausted, I think this a good place to stop.
I am pleased that you are in such good condition. So be prepared for an early resumption of the message.
With my Love and blessings, I will say, goodnight.
Your brother and friend, Jesus.

I am here, St. John, Apostle of Jesus.
I want to say only a few words in reference to what the man said to you about my gospel, or rather the gospel attributed to me. His reference to the opening words of the Gospel that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God", etc., is without any force to prove that Jesus is God, or one of the godhead. It was never written by me, or at my dictation, and does not state a Truth. The Word, in the sense referred to in that Gospel, can mean only God. For He, and He Alone, was in the beginning, and made everything that was made.
As we have often told you, Jesus was the son of a father and mother, the same as you are son of your father and mother, and was not begotten by the Holy Ghost, in the sense ascribed to his birth in the account thereof. He was born of the Holy Spirit as his soul opened up to the inflowing of the Divine Love. Was the First of Humankind to receive this Divine Love, and the Father's Essence of Divinity. Hence, was the First Fruits of the Rebestowal of this Divine Love. As a consequence, was the first fitted to declare the Divine Truths of the Father and show The Way. As his soul became filled with this Divine Love, and he grew in Wisdom and Knowledge of the Divine Truths of the Father, it may be said that he was sent by the Father to declare the Divine Truths, and explain The Way to the Celestial Heavens and the At-Onement with the Father.
Undoubtedly, this Divine Love commenced to flow into his soul soon after his birth, because he was selected to declare the Truths of the Rebestowal of the Divine Love. The Knowledge of that Mission came to him as he grew in Divine Love and Wisdom. Hence, he was without sin, though apparently only a boy, natural as other boys, in his human instincts and feelings. But he was the son of human, Joseph and Mary, and also a son of God, as all humans are, with the addition that he was an heir to the Celestial Kingdom.
He was not God. Even up to this time has never seen God, as the orthodox believe. As Moses and some of the Old Bible characters are said to have seen God. But with his soul perceptions he has seen God. So have many others of us who are inhabitants of the Celestial Heavens. That sight is just as real to us, as is the sight to you of any of your fellow mortals. It is impossible to explain this to you so that you may fully comprehend its meaning, but this seeing God by our soul perceptions is a Thing of Reality, and brings with it increased Happiness, and Knowledge of Immortality.
Jesus is not God, but he is the most highly developed spirit in all the Heavens, and is nearest to God in Divine Love and Knowledge of Truth.
So, I say, the Word is God, and Jesus is His son. You may become His Son in the same sense, as an heir to the Divine Essence of the Father, and an Angel of His Kingdom. As Jesus has written you, all humans are His Sons, but with a different inheritance, yet one that is provided by the Father.
Let not these doctrines of the teachers of what are called bible truths trouble you. Listen and believe only what may be written you by us.
I will not write more tonight as it is late. In closing will say that you have our Love and prayers.
I am, your brother in Christ, John.

April 7th, 1919
I am here, Jesus.
Let me write a few lines.
I see that you were much interested in what the preacher said tonight about God, and His Personality, and that you gave him several questions, which he could not answer. This must be expected. To humans, is not given, ordinarily, a True Conception of God. Or, Who, or What He Is. Only by the development of their souls by the Divine Love, can they obtain any conception of His Being. As their souls thus develop, they become a part of His Divinity. Their soul perceptions become opened up to a Realization of Who; God is, to a small degree at least. Then they know that He is something more than an all-enveloping energy, supplemented by a Purposeful Will. The preacher has not these soul perceptions, and cannot conceive of God, the Soul. He can only express to you the Truthfulness of the evidences of God's Existence, such as; the Energy that he spoke of.
As you know, this Energy is His Spirit, although the preacher has not the exact conception of what this Spirit is, or how it operates. He confuses the soul, and spirit. Makes the mere instrument, by, or with which, God expresses His Energy, to be the Real True (Spiritual) Substance of God, The Soul. He is right when he says that he cannot go back of this Energy to find God. His soul perceptions have not yet been Awakened, to a cognition of that, from which the energy proceeds, or which is the Very Source from which flows all the Manifestations, that to his mind, constitutes God. He is like the theologians and philosophers, who believe that these manifestations, energies, and forces, are the only God, the only Personal God. He may be shocked to hear that his teachings amount to only this. But it is True. To him there is no more personal God, than to the others. With this exception, that he attempts to believe, that in some manner, and in some way, connected with this Energy, there is a Will, which has in it a Purpose of Love, Kindness, or Fatherly Care. But the Real, Personal God, with His Great Soul of Love, which is being always Bestowed upon the individual human, he does not conceive of, or make his own.
God is Soul! Only Soul! Which has in It, all the Attributes of Love, Wisdom, and thought for the welfare of His Creatures. He is a Thinking and Seeing God. All the Energies of His Soul are used to make humans better, and happier. As is the natural father of the human, a personal father, so is the Great Soul of God, a Personal Father to All His Children. Humans, when they have the development of their souls in the Divine Love, will know that God is Personal. Something more than an all enveloping energy, force, or mere manifestation of His Existence.
The preacher says, in substance, that God is everywhere, and His Presence may be realized by all who are willing to receive that manifestation, and that whether they are, or not, willing, that presence exists just the same. This is "PANTHEISM", toned down a little by his beliefs in a more personal God, but still pantheism. Wholly wrong, and violative of God's Being.
The Source of Things can never be the things themselves. Although, the things, as they flow from the Source, have some of the qualities of the Source Itself. So, these manifestations of God's Existence, while they are of His Qualities, yet they are not equivalent of His Presence, or the Source from which they flow. God is not everywhere, but in His Heavens. All these Expressions of His Powers, Will, and Energies, are merely evidences, that there is a Source, from which they all come. They are not that Source itself.
Again, the preacher said; "that God Created the body of human, and not the spirit, as he calls it, meaning the soul, so that the body is a Creation by itself, and cannot contain in it the spirit, or the spirit body, but that this spirit is outside of the human body. Is, in a general way, a part of One Great Spirit that is Universal and everywhere. That, therefore, all humans, no matter what their conditions may be in the Earth Life, or in the Eternity part of Life, are brothers. God is the Father of them all".
Well in this, the preacher is mistaken. Every human has their own individual spirit (and) soul (being). On the state, or condition, of that soul, depends the happiness, or misery, of the human. They are merely the fellow of other humans because they are a Creature of God, made in His image. Not because they are a part of the "Universal Spirit", which the preacher believes permeates everything, and exists everywhere. God is the Father, because these Children are His Creatures, the Objects of His Creation. Individualized (soul beings), each working out their own destiny. As we have told you, some of these children will always remain the merely Created Children, while others will partake of His Divine Love, and become a part of His Divinity, and inhabitants of the Celestial Spheres.
The preacher has many things to learn. As he believes in the search for the Truth, if he will let the Divine Love flow into his heart (soul), and Transform his soul into the Very Essence and (Spiritual) Substance of the Father's Divinity, he will be able to learn many, Things Spiritual, as well as of things material, are governed by (God's) Law(s). Unless the soul gets into a condition that enables it to see, and Realize, the Higher Truths of the Spirit World, it can never obtain Knowledge of Things Spiritual. One of the objects of such Knowledge, is God.
Well, I have written enough and will stop.
With my Love, I will say goodnight.
Your brother and friend, Jesus.
