The Life of Jesus by those who knew him on Earth and know him in the Spirit World.
Life of Jesus
April 15th, 1916
I am here, Mary the Mother of Jesus.
I come to you with all the Mother's Love of one who Loved her dear son so much while on Earth, and who suffered all the heart pangs which the cruel death of my beloved caused me, and with the Love that has been purified by experience and closeness to the Blessed Father.
I say, I come to you with this Mother's Love, for you are the Children of My Father, as I am His Child. You are also the brothers of my dear son, who is with you so much and so interested in you and your future.
Let your Love for the Father increase, and also your Love for the Master, as he is the greatest and dearest friend that you have in all the Celestial, or Spiritual Heavens.
I am in the Celestial Heavens, very near the Fountainhead of God's Love. Also near the home of my dear son, but not in the same sphere with him. For no spirit in all the Celestial Heavens has the same Great Soul Development as he has, or possesses with the Divine Love to such an extent.
I want to say just here, that I am not in the condition, or place, that I am, because I am his mother, but because of the development of my own soul. Only this Great Possession of the Divine Love determines our position and condition here.
I am now in such condition that I know that the Divine Love of the Father is the only thing in all the Universe of God that can make a mortal, or spirit either, a partaker of the Divine Nature, and an inhabitant of the Kingdom of Heaven.
I will not write more, but will come again, and write you of the early Life of Jesus, and of his development in the Divine Love, as was shown to me while he was a growing child, and after he became a man, prior to his public ministry.
?
Well, I suppose I am the only one in all the Universe of God, who knows the fact, with reference to that question. I, as a spirit of the Celestial Spheres, knowing only Truth, say to you, and all the World, that Joseph was the actual father of Jesus. That he was conceived and born as any other mortal was conceived and born. The Holy Spirit did not beget him. I never was informed that such a thing would happen. I was known by Joseph before the conception of Jesus. By him, I was made pregnant with that blessed son. This is the Truth. All accounts and statements to the contrary are erroneous.
I was a simple Jewish maiden. Never had any knowledge that my son was to be different from the sons of other mothers. It was not until after the development in him, of the Divine Nature of the Father, that I realized that he was so different from the sons of other mothers.
I will not write more tonight. So my dear children believe what I have written. Also, know that I Love you with a Great Love, and am working with the other Celestial Spirits to make your souls the possessors of this Great Love. With this Divine Love, and my blessing, I will say, God be with you now and for All Eternity.
Your sister, and mother, in Christ, Mary.
Life of Jesus
June 7th, 1915
I am here, Jesus.
I want to write to you tonight about my birth and Life up to the time of my public ministry.
I was born in Bethlehem, as you know, in a manger. When I was a few days old, my parents took me to Egypt, in order to avoid the soldiers of Herod who were sent to destroy me. Who did kill a great number of male infants of less than two years of age. The Bible story of my birth, and the flight of my parents, and the murder of the innocents, is substantially correct.
I only wish to add to it, that when my parents arrived in Bethlehem they were not compelled to seek the manger of a stable in order that I might be born on account of poverty, for they were supplied with funds and everything that was needed to make my birth comfortable for my mother. As a matter of fact, my father was not poor in the World's goods, as poverty was considered in those days.
The Bible says the wise men came and brought offerings of gold and frankincense to my parents, or rather to me. My parents have told me that it did not amount to so very much, so far as the money value of the same was concerned, and that their expenses of fleeing to Egypt was met by the funds that my father had, prior to his reaching Bethlehem.
After they arrived in Egypt, my father sought the home of a Jew who was his relative, and lived there for a long time, doing the work that his trade fitted him to do. By his work supported the family, and to an extent, educated myself and my brothers and sisters. For I had four brothers and three sisters, and were all, except myself, born in Egypt. When I became of proper age, I attended the common school provided for small children, and was taught those things that had to do with the religion of the Jews, and some things that were not religious in their nature. I was never taught the philosophy of the Egyptians, or of the other pagan philosophies. When it is stated that I received my religious ideas, or moral teachings, from any of these philosophers, they are mistaken. My education as to these matters of religion was derived from the teachings of the Old Testament, or rather from Jewish teachers, whose text book was the Old Testament.
My development in the Knowledge of The Divine Truths, which I taught during my public ministry, was caused by my Inner Spiritual Faculties. My teacher was God, who, through His Angels, and through my soul perceptions, caused to come to me, those Divine Truths, or rather the Knowledge of them. In no other way did I obtain it. I was not born with the Knowledge that I was the son of God sent to Earth to teach these Great Truths, or to announce to humankind the Rebestowal of the Great Gift of Immortality, and the means of acquiring it. This Knowledge of my mission came to me after I became a man and had the frequent communions with God by my Spiritual Senses.
I was never in the presence of the Jewish priests, expounding to them the Law, and asking questions when about twelve years of age, as stated in the Bible. Not before my first appearance, after I became a man, did I attempt to show priest, or layman, that I was the Messenger of the Father, and sent by Him to proclaim the Glad Tidings of Immortality Restored and of the Great Divine Love of the Father which was necessary to make all humans At-One with Him, and to give them a home in His Kingdom.
I never was a sinful boy, or man, and did not know what sin was in my heart. Strange as it may seem, I never sought to teach others these Truths until after my mission was declared by John the Baptist.
In my boyhood days, I was the same as other boys and engaged in the plays of childhood, and had the feelings of a child. Never thought I was anything else than a child. In no wise was I different from other children, except in the particular that l have named. Any account of me to the contrary is untrue.
My teachings were those that The Father had committed to me from the beginning, but which I was only conscious of after I became a close communicant of The Father, and learned from Him my mission. So you must believe that I was a son of human, as well as a son of God, and that in the literal sense. I would not have been True to my Mission had I claimed that I was the only son of God, for it is not True, and humans should not so teach it.
Yes, I know it was said that my mother was told of the object of my birth, and what a blessed woman she was, but this is not True. My mother, as she has told me, had no reason to suppose that I was different from other children born of humans. The story of the angel of God coming to her and telling her that she must submit to the birth of a child who would be begotten by God, or by His Holy Spirit, and that she, as a virgin, should bear and give birth to that child, is not True. For she never, in all her Life, told me that she had any such visitor. I know that she would be as much surprised, as are many humans, that such a thing as the birth of a child by a virgin could take place. So you see the Bible account of my being begotten, and all the attending circumstances are not True.
My father, Joseph, never supposed, at anytime, that I was not his child. The story of the angel coming to him and telling him that he must not put her away because of appearance is not True, because he never, in all my conversations with him, intimated that I was other than his own child.
Between the time that I was twelve years of age and my public ministry, I lived at home with my parents, and assisted my father in his business of carpentry. During all this time, no hint ever fell from him that I was not his child, or that I was different from other children, except that I did not do sinful things.
When I commenced to get this Divine Love into my soul, I became very close to The Father. This relationship resulted in my realizing that I was sent by God with a Mission to perform and a Great and Important Truth to declare. At last the voice in my soul told me that I was my Father's True Son. I believed it, and commenced to teach and preach the Divine Truth of His Divine Love Bestowed and the Salvation of humans.
I knew John the Baptist when I was a child growing up. He was my cousin. We often played together. Afterwards, discussed the Truth of my Mission, and the way in which it should be made known to the World. John was a great psychic, and saw in his vision who I was, and what my mission on Earth was. Hence, when the time came, he made the announcement of my coming. He realized the difference in our missions, and spoke of his not being worthy to unloosen my shoes. Yet, he did not fully understand my mission and the Great Truth of the Bestowal of Immortality upon humans by the Father.
I first became the Christ when I was anointed by my Father. That occurred at the time of my baptism by John. I, as Christ, am different from myself as Jesus.
Christ means that Principle, which the Father has conferred upon me, which made me At-One with Him in the possession of this Great Love. Christ is that Divine Love Itself, made manifest in me as human. This Christ Principle is Universal, and is everywhere, just as is the Holy Spirit. But, I am limited in my place of occupancy, just as you are.
I never, as Jesus merely, promised the great gift mentioned in the Bible, such as; where two or three are gathered together there will I be also. For it would be impossible for me to be in all places at the same time. But Christ, being without form, or limitation, is Omnipresent. Consequently, may fulfill my promise in this regard. Christ is as much alive today as ever. He was never crucified and never died, as did Jesus.
Well, I think you are too sleepy now to continue.
?
Well because you need sleep. I know of no special influence being exerted over you to produce sleep.
I will continue in the near future, your brother and friend, Jesus.
Life of Jesus
June 8th, 1915
I am here, Jesus.
I will continue my letter as to my birth and work, as I commenced it last night.
When I was satisfied that I was chosen by my Father to perform His Work of Declaring to the World, the Bestowal of His Great Gift of the Divine Love that was in His Divine Nature, and which formed the Predominant Principle of that Divine Nature, I commenced my ministry. And, continued to work for the Redemption of Humankind on Earth until my death on the cross. I was not then as Perfect, as I am now. My Knowledge of the Divine Truths of the Father was not so great then, as it is now.
Let humans know though, that what I taught was True, even though I did not teach All the Truth. They will learn that I am my Father's True Son. The Special Messenger by whom these Great Truths were to be taught to Humankind.
I was not, when on Earth, so filled with the Divine Love of the Father, as I am now. And, had not the power to make humans feel that this Divine Love is the only thing that will reconcile them to the Father, and make them At-One with Him, as I have now. So humans must believe that I am communicating to them the Real Divine Truths, which will show them The Way to the Fathers Divine Love, and to their own Salvation.
You have in your mind the desire to know how it was that the wise men came to me with their offerings and adoration, if I was not specially Created by God to become His son and representative on Earth.
Well, the wise men came. Their coming was not because of any knowledge they had, that I was a child divinely created, or that I was not a natural child, but because they were astrologers. At the time, saw a new and brilliant star in the heavens, which to them meant that some important event had taken place. Being students of the Old Testament, wherein such a star was referred to as the forerunner of the birth of a saviour, they concluded that that star was the one intended, and that my birth, being a lowly one as they expected, was the one that the Scriptures meant, and consequently, that I was the Christ spoken of. But outside of this knowledge as astrologers, and that of the Scriptures, they had no knowledge that I was the Christ to be born. When it is asserted that they had any information from God, or His Angels, that I was the Christ, that assertion is not True.
I know this, because since my coming to the Spirit World, I have met these men, and talked with them. They have told me what I write. So, while I was the Christ referred to in the Bible, I mean in the prophecies of the Old Testament yet, those wise men had no other knowledge of that fact than what I have told you.
I know that I was sent by The Father to perform the Mission which I performed. That it was intended in the beginning that I should be anointed as the Christ. This I did not know until after I became a man, and was then told what my mission was by the Angel, and my own inner voice.
My mother, or father, or brethren, did not know. Even after I had proclaimed my Mission, and showed the Wonderful Powers that had been given to me, they did not believe in my Mission. But thought that I was besides myself, that is, as you say, crazy with the belief that I was the Chosen One of my Father. The Bible, itself, shows that this was their condition of mind.
So, while I am the Christ of the Bible, and the Chosen Instrument of the Father, to make known the Great Divine Truths, which I have proclaimed, and which I shall proclaim through you, yet I am not the only begotten son of God in the sense in which it is usually accepted. Much less am I God. As I have said, there is Only One God. I am merely His son and Teacher, sent to the World to declare to Humankind the Bestowal of the Gift of Immortality, and The Way in which humans may obtain it.
I will deal further with myself as we progress in our writings. Let no human believe that I was born of the virgin Mary, or that I was begotten by the Holy Spirit, or that I am God, for all these things are not True.
For the present I will stop. With all my Love and blessings, and the Blessings of the Father, will say goodnight. Your friend and brother, Jesus.

I am here, James the Lesser (brother of Jesus).
I come because most of the apostles have written you. I want to be in the numbers who testify that Jesus is the Living and True Son of God, and that he has selected you, and your friend (Dr. Leslie Stone), to do his work.
I know that this has been told you by many spirits. I want to add my testimony. For the time may come when you will meet such unbelief and skepticism that you will need all the testimony that you can get.
The work that you will have to do will not be an easy one. You will have many antagonists, especially in the churches, and among the preachers and rulers of the churches. You will need all the help that the spirit powers can give you.
I am one of the band of Celestial Spirits that will sustain and help you in your work. I am so interested that you shall succeed, that I want you to know the fact, that back of you both is the most Wonderful Power that has ever been given to mortals to carry out the Plans of the Higher Celestial World.
When on Earth, I was the brother of Jesus, and called the Lesser, to distinguish me from James, the brother of John and son of Zebedee. I was not the son of any Alpheus, such as that name is understood in the New Testament, but the son of Mary and Joseph, as was my brother Jesus. Jesus himself will one day come and tell you exactly who Alpheus was.
So have Faith, and believe what we write you, for it is all True. You must not doubt, as you do sometimes, or let your Earthly affairs turn your thoughts from the Great Divine Truths, which we come to teach you.
So without writing more, I will say, believe. Your brother in Christ, James the Lesser.

I am here, John the Baptist.
I came to tell you that I am now a harbinger of the Master, as I was when on Earth, and that he is the True Jesus who writes to you, in all the communications which you received signed by him, or by his name.
I do this that you may believe, and not doubt the messages that you receive. He has written you. You must rely on what he says, for what he has said to you will surely come to pass.
I am the same John who appeared in Palestine and announced his coming. As I told them what was actually to take place, so I tell you what is actually taking place. You will not only receive the Messages of Divine Truth, which he will write you, but they will also be distributed to all Humankind, wherever the written languages of the World exist, and are spoken, or written.
So you have before you a wonderful and important mission. One that will do more to make True brothers and sisters, and Lovers of the Father, than anything that has happened since the Master was on Earth, and taught, and preached, the Divine Truths of his Father, and did good to physical human.
I sometimes have wondered why you should have been selected, as I see that your Soul Development has not been nearly as great as that of many other humans who now live, and have lived. As he has made the selection, we must understand that he knows what is best, and that his selection must be the right one. As a consequence of this, all we, who are his followers in the Celestial World, are trying our best to forward the cause and help you. I must tell you that you have behind you, in this Great Work, supporting and maintaining you, more Spiritual Power than any mortal has ever had before. This may sound to you surprising, but it is True.
So my brother, for such I must call you now, try to acquire a Faith in the Divine Love, and the Desire of the Father to save All Humankind from the errors of their lives, and to make them One with Him, that will enable you to stand forth as the representative of the Master, and the authoritative teacher of these Great Divine Truths.
I am now in the Celestial Heavens. I am very close to Jesus in his home, and in his Love for the Father and for All Humanity. I have powers, which are Great, and Divine Love which is of the Divine Essence of the Father. What I tell you now, I will tell to the World when the opportunity presents itself.
Your Brother in Christ, John the Baptist.

I am here, St. John.
Well, there are some things in my gospel that do not seem to be very plain, and perhaps are contradictory. You must remember that many of these writings were not mine, or written at my dictation. In the mutations of time, many things have been added to, and subtracted from, what I wrote. As a consequence, the True and the untrue are mixed.
Well, it will be a very difficult task for you to make the distinction in simply reading, or even studying, the Bible. The tenor of the writings is the same. The only way that you can separate the True from that which is not, is to wait until Jesus gives you his messages. Of course, we can help also in that particular.
Well, that was not the word, which he used. Because he never taught that it was ordained by God that Judas should betray him. In fact, the death of Jesus was never a part of that which the Father considered as necessary to the performance of his mission. Of course, it was certain that Jesus would die, but the manner of his death was not foreordained, as my Gospel written in your Bible declares.
Judas was not a bad man, as he is depicted to be. His betrayal, as it is called, of the Master, was not for the purpose of gratifying any avarice that he might be supposed to have, or because of any jealousy or desire to revenge a wrong. It was because he was impulsive, and (had) a belief in Jesus' powers, and ability to overcome the Jewish leaders in their fight to defeat the objects of Jesus' mission. He thought he would be doing the Master, and his cause, a great benefit by having it demonstrated to these Jews (Sanhedrin), that the Master could not be silenced, or harmed, by any act of theirs. It was really an act that grew out of his love for, and belief in, the greatness of the Master's powers.
Well, I tell you that Jesus never said any such thing. He never even told us that one of us should betray him. I know because I was there.
If Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, he did not tell any of us at that time. We only knew it for the first time when Judas actually committed the act. I do not believe that Jesus knew it before that time. In fact, he has told me that he was surprised at Judas' betrayal of him. So you must not rely on the Bible statement as to what occurred at that time.
Judas was the youngest of the disciples and not so easily controlled in his impulses and acts, as he would have been were he older.
Yes, I know, but they are all based upon the same erroneous writings, for you must know that these Gospels, as you have them, are not the originals written by those whose names they bear. Let not these things disturb your belief in the essential Truths, which the Bible contains.
The trouble is that Jesus, as the individual, is given the prominence, which should be given to his teachings. He is displeased very much because of this. One of the great objects of his writing anew his Truths is to correct that error, and make the Truths, which he received from the Father, the prominent things. As you progress in your writings, you will see that this is the great object, of which he shall write.
Well, I will tell you that you are in the way to receive the Father's Divine Love in very great abundance. In fact, so much so, that you will realize that you are One with the Father.
I see that you at present have some difficulty in your way. They will soon disappear and leave you free to do this great work. So my advice is to believe in the Master, and pray to the Father. You will soon be a much happier man.
When on Earth, I was a married man. In my family, the mother of Jesus lived until her death. She, Mary, lives near me. She is a beautiful spirit and filled with the Divine Love of the Father. You must not suppose that because she was the mother of Jesus she has any more exalted position than she otherwise would have had. Family ties do not determine anything in the higher spheres. The soul development is the criterion. Many spirits are living in higher spheres than Mary.
I will not write more now. Your brother in Christ, John.

I am here, Judas Iscariot.
I came tonight because I want to tell you of just what my condition and expectations were, when I betrayed Jesus, which resulted in his crucifixion.
I was a very enthusiastic lover of the Master, and believed thoroughly in his teachings and his power. I did not believe that the Roman soldiers could take him away from where we were, if we did not permit it to be done. As a consequence, I was anxious that Jesus should show his great power, and demonstrate to the Jews that he was a True Son of God, with power over humans and devils.
I never betrayed him for the money that I received, for it was not sufficient to pay for one moment of happiness which I have lost because of my act in betraying the greatest spirit in all God's Kingdom. I see that you are too sleepy to write more tonight. I will come again and tell my story. So goodnight, Judas.
Life of Jesus
October 24th, 1915
I am here, St. Luke, (Writer of the Third Gospel That Was.)
I was with you tonight at the meeting of the Spiritualists, and heard the statement of the speaker, as to the probabilities of what became of the body of Jesus after the crucifixion.
I was not present at the crucifixion. Of course, do not personally know what became of the body of Jesus. I have been told by those who were present, that the Bible description of his burial in the tomb of Joseph was True. The body was buried in the tomb of Joseph and was left there by those who placed it in the tomb, which was sealed. A guard set over it to prevent anyone from approaching and interfering with the body, because Jesus had predicted that in three days he would rise again.
After the tomb was sealed, Jesus arose without his body of flesh, passed from the tomb and descended into the lower Spheres where the dark spirits lived in their ignorance and sufferings, and preached to them the Rebestowal of the Gift of Immortality (Divine Love).
The body of flesh, by the power which Jesus possessed, became so spiritualized, or etherealized, that its component parts became disseminated by Jesus in the surrounding atmosphere. He retained only the spiritual body in which he afterwards appeared to the disciples and others.
When he appeared at the meeting of the apostles, where Thomas, the doubter, was present, he recalled to his form, as you will better understand by my using such expression, elements of the material, so that in appearance the body was as much like flesh and blood as when it was placed in the tomb, and before he disseminated these elements, as I have said.
The flesh and blood, which encloses the spirit form (spirit body) of human, as you may have heard, is continually changing, in obedience to the ordinary Laws of Nature, as understood by human. When Jesus, who understood, and had power to call into operation, other Laws of Nature, caused such other Laws to operate, that the dissemination of the elements of flesh and blood took place. He was left only with the spirit form.
This, I know, has been a great mystery to humankind since the time of the discovery of its absence by the watchmen at his tomb. Because of being such mystery, and as an only explanation of such disappearance, humans have believed and taught that his body of flesh and blood actually arose from the dead. Therefore, the real body of flesh and blood of mortals will also arise in what they call the great resurrection day.
But no body of flesh and blood arose. The spirit form of Jesus did not remain in the tomb after the dissemination of the material body, for no tomb, or other place, could confine the spirit. You will remember that on the third day Jesus appeared to Mary, who was most intimate and familiar with the appearance of Jesus, and yet she did not recognize him, but thought he was the gardener. And so with the disciples who were travelling with him to Emmaus. Now, if he had retained his body of flesh and blood, do you not suppose that they would have recognized him?
If he had the power to resume that material body into which Thomas thrust his hand and found it to be a body in appearance of flesh and blood, do you think it strange or wonderful that he would have had the power to cast off his earthly body while in the tomb and cause it to disappear into thin air?
This I am informed is the True explanation of the disappearance of the material body of Jesus. To me, and to others, who understand the Laws of Nature, I mean that nature that is beyond the ken of humans, it is not surprising, or worthy, to be deemed a mystery.
I am glad that I went with you to the meeting tonight, as I became impressed with the desirability of making this great mystery, a mystery no longer.
With all my Love, I am, your brother in Christ, St. Luke.

I am here, Joseph of Arimathea.
I desire merely to write a few lines to let you know that I really did exist as a mortal. That I am the same man who laid the body of Jesus in the tomb, where never before had any body been lain. I was with him at his death. I was with his body when it was laid in the tomb and sealed. I know and testify, that no human, or humans, or society of humans, as it has been said, stole his body from the tomb. His body was entombed, as was the custom of my time. He was wrapped in cerements and fitted for the long sleep in the tomb, as we supposed.
While I was not a full Christian, yet his doctrines appealed to me as containing the Truth, having about them a Living Inspiration, which I did not find in the teachings of the Jewish theology, for I was a Pharisee. I never thought that his death was justifiable, or approved it. I was not able to prevent it. Feeling that a great crime had been committed by the people, of whom I was one, I tried to make small atonement for the great crime by giving him burial in my new tomb.
Of course, I did not believe that he would rise again, in the way that he had made known to some of his disciples. When we buried him, I only thought that, that tomb would be his sepulcher until nature had destroyed the body, as it had done in the cases of all others who had been entombed.
As you may realize, I was interested in the proceedings taken by the Jewish leaders in their efforts to prove, that he, Jesus, would not arise from the tomb on the third day. I kept watch, as well as did the soldiers. I can testify that no mortal ever removed the stones from the mouth of the tomb.
I was there when the Angel came and the soldiers were put in the sleep that the Bible speaks of. I, Joseph say this, knowing that it may not be believed, and the Bible makes no mention of it, that I saw the stones rolled away, and the shining one standing guard at the entrance of the tomb. I was frightened. I left the place, and was so overcome that I did not return there until the early morning. Then I saw Mary, and heard her inquiring for the whereabouts of her beloved Master, and more wonderful, I saw the man of whom she inquired suddenly reveal himself to her. I can testify also, that it was the same Jesus whom I had helped lay his body in my tomb.
He was not of flesh and blood, as they say, for he suddenly appeared. His appearance was not the same as that of the Jesus whose body had been entombed. When he revealed himself to Mary, there was the same countenance, the same wonderful eyes of Love that I was familiar with, and the same voice of Love and Affection. I know this. I want to tell the World that it is True.
Before Peter came, I went into the tomb. It was empty. When Peter came, I was with him in the tomb, and saw his astonishment, and heard his words of wonder and amazement. For notwithstanding what the Master had told him prior to the crucifixion, he did not believe, or comprehend. He was astonished and bewildered, as were all of us.
Jesus of Nazareth arose from that tomb. His fleshly body was de-materialized. As to his disappearance, I could not then explain, as could none who saw him after he had arisen. But now I know that because of his great psychic powers, as you would call them, he caused the disintegration of that body into its elements, as can be done now by many spirits who have that power.
Yes, Jesus arose from the tomb, but not from the dead, for he never died, as you will never die, only the physical vestment that enveloped his soul.
I am now in the Celestial Heavens. I am with him a great deal, and know that he is the greatest and most wonderful of all the spirits in the Celestial Spheres, the nearest to the Fountainhead of God's Divine Love. He is Truly His Best Beloved Son.
I also want to say, that he writes to you his messages of Divine Truth, and was with you tonight for a short time. Listen to him, and know that you have in him a friend who is closer than a brother, or father, or mother.
My brother, I will stop now, and in leaving say, that you have my Love and blessings.
Your brother in Christ, Joseph of Airmathea.
Life of Jesus
April 1st, 1916
Let me write a few lines tonight, as I have not written you for a long time. I desire to tell you of the scene that was depicted to you tonight by the words and music at the church.
I was present at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus. I saw all that took place and the wonderful display of the forces of nature that were presented to you tonight in the drama of the crucifixion.
Well, as you may not know, many of the scenes that were so forcibly presented to your imagination never had any reality in fact. The drama was the production of the oriental mind, which was so often used to depict things that had their origin only in such eastern imaginations.
When Jesus was crucified, there was no great concourse of people, because he was considered as a common malefactor, paying the penalties that followed the violation of the law that he was charged with violating. Of course, there were soldiers, a large number of the members of the Jewish Sanhedrim, and a few followers present. But there was no unusual crowd to witness the execution. He was not the only one crucified at the time. The other two were considered just as the Jews considered him, a violator of their laws. One to be punished by hanging on the cross. The words, that he is supposed to have uttered at the time of his extremis, were not uttered by him. No words that he may have spoken could have been heard by any of his followers. They were kept away from the immediate scene of his execution. It was only after he had been pronounced dead and found ready to be removed from the cross, that his followers were permitted to approach his body and remove it from the tree. The others, who were engaged in the execution did not hear any words of his. As I have said, his followers could not hear, thus be able to report any supposed saying of his. So far as known, he died as bravely, that is without fear or doubt as to the future, as did any other who has suffered the same fate.
The words that he is supposed to have uttered were not so uttered. He did not call upon The Father for His Help, or to cause the bitter cup to pass from him. All reports of what he said, or did, at that time are not True, merely the imaginings of those who wrote of him in later times.
There was no sudden breaking up of nature or things material, and the accounts of the graves opening, and the bodies arising there from and being seen and talked with in the city are purely fiction, and have no foundation in fact.
I know that christians of today will not be ready to receive these statements as True, because of the long years of belief in these things that have obtained during the centuries. Why humans should want to believe in these representations of things that never happened, it is hard to understand. For in themselves that have no significance except that mere endeavor to make as dramatic and impressive on humanity the wonderful circumstances that they allege surrounded the death of Jesus. If they will only think, they must realize that the death of Jesus, accompanied by all the startling environments described in the Bible, did not afford one iota of help in way of saving a human soul, or teaching that soul the True Way to the Father's Kingdom. His life is what had the effect, not his death. The sooner humans learn that Truth, the sooner will they learn the fact that no death of Jesus could save them from themselves, or show them The Way to the Celestial Kingdom.
I know that humans will not want to believe what I have written, and continue in their belief that all these tragic circumstances surrounded the death of Jesus. I suppose that this belief will continue with them for a long time to come. But what I have said is True. No human can, by any possible workings of God's Laws, find any hope or assurance of Immortality in these things. You may ask me how I know that Jesus uttered no words at the time of his death. I can answer by saying that he told me so himself.
He has not been present tonight at any of the churches where his death on the cross is celebrated, and will not be until after the time of the great worship and adoration of him by the churches has gone by. This worship is all very distasteful to him and are such that he does not desire to witness. Hence, he remains in his home in the high Celestial Spheres. He desires humans to worship only the One True Father that he worships, and thus receive the True Benediction (Divine Love) of the Father.
Well, I see that you are tired. I will not write more.
With my love, I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, Samuel.
Life of Jesus
October 11th, 1916
I am here, Elias. (Elijah, Prophet to the Hebrews.)
I will write a short message tonight as I promised.
While on Earth, I was a prophet to the Hebrews. I 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 man 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 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, and that His wrath is not a thing of Reality. 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, and 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, 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 partaken of, by the individuals.
I, myself, knew nothing of the Divine Love. I 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. I 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, 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 was 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 Re-Bestowal of the Divine Love, 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 (the Divine Love) 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 Re-Bestowed, 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 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 Re-bestowal 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.
Life of Jesus
January 23, 1917
I am here, Elohiam.
I am the spirit of a Jew who lived in the time of Jesus. I was a member of the Sanhedrin, and sat as one of his judges at the time of his condemnation for blasphemy and iconoclastic teachings against the beliefs and doctrines of the Hebrew faith, and was one of those who voted for the sentence of death upon him. In doing so was as honest in my conviction and action, as it was possible for an earnest believer in his faith to be.
Consequently, I was without prejudice against Jesus as a human, as I believed, a fanatic. It was only because I was convinced that he was an assailer of, and dangerous to, our religion, and the welfare of my race that I consented to his death. Mortals of these days cannot fully understand the exact relationship of Jesus and his teachings to the security of our religion and the preservation of the faith, which we believed had been handed down to us by God, direct through our prophets and teachers. When we were confronted with what we believed to be the destructive and irreligious teachings of Jesus, and after making the numerous efforts to suppress him by threats and persuasion without effect, we concluded that our absolute and indisputable duty to God demanded that he be removed from the sphere of his activity, even though such result could only be accomplished by his death.
If mortals of the present day could understand our deep religious convictions, and the sense of obligation that rested upon us to protect and keep whole the divine doctrines, and teachings of our faith, especially that one which declared the oneness of God, they would not judge the action of the Jews in condemning Jesus to death to be a thing unusual or unexpected. He stood in the position to us, and to our religion, of a breeder of sedition. Just as in modern times humans have occupied the position towards the civil governments of breeders of treason and have suffered the punishments which have been with approval, inflicted upon them by such governments.
But to us he appeared, not only guilty of treason to our national life, but of treason to the higher and God-given life of the religious government of our race, the chosen one of God, as we sincerely and zealously believed.
Even in latter days humans have appeared and claimed to be the especially anointed of God with missions to perform, and have gathered around them a following of people whom they have impressed with the truth of their character and mission and of their teachings. For a short time were permitted to declare their claims and doctrines, and then suddenly brought to death by the decree of those who were in authority, as trouble-makers and enemies of the church, or state, and have been forgotten and their doctrines disappeared from memory.
Only in the instance of Jesus has his death been remembered through all the ages, and those who were the cause and responsible for his death have been desecrated, cursed, and charged with the murder of god.
Well, I write this to show you that the Jews who took the Life, and demanded the crucifixion of that just man, were actuated by motives other, or different, from those that have many times since caused the very followers and worshippers of that Jesus, to murder and crucify other humans who have claimed to be the sons of God endowed with special missions for the salvation of humankind.
The sincerity of the Jews who took part in this great tragedy cannot be assailed. Even their Roman masters at the time understood that the demands for the death of Jesus did not arise from personal spite, or the satisfaction of any revenge against the individual, but solely because they believed and so declared that Jesus was an enemy and would-be destroyer of the divine faith and teachings of the Israelite nation, and a seducer of the people. It is only because of the subsequent rise and spread of his teachings and the Truths that he declared, which have made so large a portion of the inhabitants of the Earth followers of him, that the act of the Jews in causing his death has been called the great crime of the World, and the people themselves to be hated, persecuted, destroyed as a nation, and scattered to all points of the Earth.
I do not write this to excuse or palliate the great error which we committed in causing the crucifixion and death of the True Son of God. Only to show that they, though as I now know, mistakenly, did that which other humans with the same faith, convictions and zealous for the religious preservation of the nation, be these humans Jews, or Gentiles, or pagans, would have done in similar circumstances.
The great element of tragedy in all this is not that Jesus was crucified, but that the Jews were so mistaken, and failed to recognize and accept Jesus as their long looked for Messiah and Deliverer, not from their material conditions of bondage, but from the bondage of sin and error in which they have lived for so many centuries. This, I say, was their tragedy. It has been their lasting and deadly tragedy from that time until the present day. The prospects are that it will continue theirs for many years to come, and that generations of them will pass from the Earth Life to the Spirit World under the shadow of that great tragedy.
They still believe, and that belief is a part of their existence, and as firmly fixed as in the days of the great mistake, that they have Abraham for their father. That his faith and example are sufficient to show them the true way to God and salvation, and that they are the chosen people of God, and by worshipping the one and only God, and observing the sacraments, feasts, and commands of God that were given to them by and through Moses and the prophets, and as are contained in the Old Testament, they will find the heaven of God here on Earth, and after death rest in the bosom of Abraham. That the observance of the Moral and ethical precepts of their Bible is all that is necessary to develop their Spiritual natures. That beyond such development there is nothing to be desired, or to be sought for. That some time they will attain the Adamic condition of reward and happiness, which is the ultimate of human's future existence.
Some are still looking for the coming of the messiah who will restore to them their former glory and rule on Earth, as the king and governor of all the nations. That they will be his chosen subjects and selected to assist in the administration of that messiah's kingdom.
How certain it is that their dreams will never be realized. That unless they have an Awakening to the True Nature of their God, they will never become inhabitants of the Father's Kingdom.
I want to say to my people, with the certainty of Knowledge, arising from experience and actual observation, that Jesus of Nazareth was the True Messiah, who brought to the World, and first to the Jews, the Divine Truths of God and His Plans for the Salvation of Humankind, and their restoration to all that they had lost by the fall of their First Parents because of their disobedience. That if the people of my nation had received him, and accepted, and followed his teachings, they would not now on Earth be the scattered, homeless and persecuted race that they are, and in the Spirit World would not now be satisfied with their homes and happiness in the Spiritual Heavens, but would be, many of them, inhabitants of the Celestial Heavens and the possessors of Immortality and God's Divine Love.
You have received many messages describing the Plan of the Father for the Salvation of Humans, and what the Divine Love is. How it may be obtained. Its effect on the soul of human and spirit when once possessed. I will not attempt here to enter into an explanation of these things, but with all the Love that I have for my race, superadded to a Knowledge of the great error and insufficiency of their faith to bring them into At-Onement with God, I advise and urge them to seek the Truth, and apply it to their individual souls, and affirm that the Truth is contained, and The Way be found, in the messages that you have received from Jesus and the other High Spirits.
I am a believer in these Divine Truths, a follower of the Master, and an inhabitant of the Celestial Heavens. I want to say that these Divine Truths did not come to me as a part of my faith, until many long years of Life in the Spirit World, and that some of these years I lived in darkness and suffering.
So, I will say goodnight, and subscribe myself your brother in Christ, Elohiam.
Life of Jesus
January 22nd, 1917
I am here, Elameros.
I am a Greek, or rather the spirit of a mortal who was a Greek. I lived in the days when Jesus walked the hills and plains of Palestine, teaching his New Doctrines of the Divine Love and the Kingdom of Heaven.
I was not a follower of him, or a believer in his teachings. I was a disciple of Plato and Socrates, and was satisfied of the truth of their philosophy, and did not believe that there were other Truths than what it contained.
I was a traveler, and at times visited Palestine. On several occasions heard Jesus teaching the multitudes of people who seemed to be so interested in his discourses. I must confess that I was startled, at times, by his doctrines, and recognized that while they treated of subjects similar to those contained in my philosophy, yet they were different, and gave to these subjects a New and Spiritual Meaning that I had never before thought of.
I could see that he was not a student of philosophy, or yet, an educated human, as we understood humans to be educated, yet he dealt with these questions in such an enlightening and authoritative way, that caused me to wonder at the source of his information. When, at times, he said that he was not speaking of his own knowledge, but that his Father was speaking through him, I was almost ready to believe that such was the fact.
You must remember that I believed in God, and in the lesser gods or demons (spirits) who executed His Will. When Jesus spoke of his Father, meaning God, it was not unnatural for me, in a way, to accept what he declared. Then I recollect, that I was impressed with the fact that he was not speaking from a mind that had been developed by the study of the philosophies, but from a mind that seemed to have in it, that which had been lodged there by some Great Outside Intelligence. He spoke, as he said, with Knowledge. Speculations seemed to be no part of his conclusions, or the cause of any of his deductions.
Notwithstanding these impressions on me, I was too wise, in my own conceit, that my philosophy was the only true one, and that my knowledge of it was without defect, to attempt to give serious consideration to what I had heard Jesus say. Consequently, let the Truths which he uttered pass from me.
I saw and heard him teach only a few times. Then I heard of his crucifixion and death as a malefactor, and forgot about him.
When next I saw him, it was in the Spirit World. This continued after I became a spirit. Then he was teaching the same doctrines that I had heard him teach on Earth, but he was a wonderfully bright and glorious spirit.
I don't think that I can write more tonight. I will come again, your brother in Christ, Elameros.
Life of Jesus
June 21st, 1917
l am the man who said to Jesus, as he bore his cross to Calvary, "Pass on". To whom he said, "Tarry thou till I come". For years and years I waited, until at last he came to me, not as the reincarnated Jesus, but as my brother and friend in the possession of the Divine Love, which I received in my soul after the long years of waiting and suffering on Earth.
I know that this is considered a legend by mortals. To me it was a vital and painful fact. I was truly the Wandering Jew, and found rest nowhere. Even death would not come to me to release me of a Life that was a torture, and a cause of recollection of my inhumanity to the Truly Jesus.
I have now been in Spirit Life for many centuries. I am in the Celestial Heavens, for the Divine Love of the Father is sufficient to redeem the vilest of mortals and the perpetrators of the greatest sins from their conditions of darkness and sufferings.
If I had only known what a Beloved Son of God the Master was, when I uttered my vile words and cruel curses, I would never have opened my mouth, except to bless him and comfort him, as he walked his weary way to the cross. But, I did not know. I thought that I was serving my God when I reviled him, who, as I thought, was a blasphemer and destroyer of our religion.
I paid the penalty, even while on Earth, and suffered the tortures that no man can understand. As I continued to live, and death was always fleeing from me, I commenced to, and did, realize that I had committed a sin against the Chosen of the Father, and his, I mean Jesus', sentence upon me became a thing of wonderful and ever present reality.
Now, I know that he loved even me, and that while I was wandering and suffering he was with me, trying to help me open up my soul to the Divine Love, which was my only liberator from my doom.
I know that this may seem strange and unbelievable to you, and not possible in the workings of God's Economy in dealing with His Creatures, but it was True, and I know. But the Wonderful Love! Oh, how can I ever express my feelings of gratitude to the Father, and to Jesus! While I remained in my ignorant and disheartened state, that very Jesus was with me many times in his Love, trying to help me. Many spirits have told me this, and it is True.
I write this because I want you, and the world, to know that this Divine Love is waiting for all humankind, and that there is no sinner so vile that it cannot turn him into the Divine Angel of God's Celestial Heavens.
I will not write more now, except to say that whenever you read of me, remember that I am no longer the Wandering Jew, but a Redeemed Child from sin and error, and much beloved by that very Jesus whom I treated so cruelly.
With my love I will say, goodnight. I will sign myself as I am best known, The Wandering Jew.
Life of Jesus
June 21st, 1917
I am here, St. John, Apostle of Jesus.
Well, you were surprised at the last message. It is not to be wondered that you were, for I know that to you this story was a mere legend, as it is to most others of the mortal Life, who have thought on the subject.
Again, the wandering Jew was not in your mind, as I know, for I was present before you commenced to write, and know just what the contents of your mind were, and what expectations you had.
I recite these facts to impress you that this message is not the result of any subconscious mind that the philosophers speak of. The message came solely because the spirit who wrote came to you, and took control of your brain and hands, and actually wrote the message.
He is truly the man known as the Wandering Jew. The legend is True, so far as his having treated the Master as he said, and the Master's sentence upon him to "tarry until he should come."
Naturally, the question arises, how could the Master have imposed such a sentence? Or, what power had the Master to do that which is so contrary to all the ordinary known Laws of God?
Well, the question is a pertinent and proper one, and is entitled to an answer. At the time of the Master's crucifixion, he was surrounded by a great host of spirits, in whom was vested the most wonderful powers of the Spirit World. They accompanied him in his weary march to the cursed cross, all trying to sustain him, and listening to his words, many of them knowing his thoughts, and the travail of his soul. When he rested because of the burden of carrying the cross, they were with him and heard the inhuman command of the Jew, and the Master's reply. Then they determined that the sentence should be carried out, and ever end, until the Jew had traveled the weary road of suffering that he saw Jesus was travelling, and until he should seek relief in that Way that the very Master came to Earth to make known to mortals, this Jew was among them.
The spirits were with the Jew continually sustaining him in his physical Life, so that the friend that he hoped and prayed for, I mean death, should not come to him, until first should come the Great Love of the Father to Redeem him from the results of the sentence. Strange as it may seem to you, at the very time that these spirits were exercising their powers to prolong the physical Life of the man, they were also trying to influence him, so that he would open up his soul to the inflowing of the Divine Love. Among those who thus worked was the Master himself.
But the old beliefs of this Jew, in the teachings of the Laws of Moses, and in Abraham, as his father and the great medium of his salvation, and that great power which he possessed, the human will, prevented the opening up of his soul, for many long years. Not until he was convinced that the sentence of the Master was being carried out, did he commence to realize that the teachings of his church, and father Abraham, were not sufficient for his salvation from the awful doom pronounced upon him. There came to him the thought that the man whom he had cursed might be the Truly Son of God, and that his teachings of the Only Way to the Father, and happiness, was through this Divine Love. For in the meantime, he had lived among the Christians and had learned what the teachings of this Divine Love were. That it was waiting for all. And, could be obtained by all through prayer and the submission of the human will.
Well, he suffered, and sought in every way to obtain this death. It always evaded him. Until at last, his will broke. The Truth came to him, and with it prayer. Then came freedom. I must tell you, that when the soul of a mortal prays in earnestness and with True longings, all the powers of all the spirits in the spiritual, or Celestial Heavens, cannot prevent that Divine Love from responding to the prayers, and from making the longing soul free, and At-One, to a degree, with the Father.
The sentences of spirits and angels cannot exist contrary to that Divine Love's demands. This being so, mortals can readily understand that all the powers of the hells and the evil ones cannot prevail against that Divine Love. Thus, further will you understand that the True prayers of a longing soul are more powerful and will bring the response from the Father, than all the powers of angels, spirits, and devils combined. Thus, you may comprehend what an important creature is one poor mite of a mortal, when in Truth and earnestness he comes to the Father, seeking His Divine Love. Well, when I came tonight, I had no thought of writing such a message as I have written. As I realized that you may in thinking about the message of the Wandering Jew, and doubt that the Laws of Nature may be set aside, even at the command of the Master, I thought it best to write you as I have. No Laws of Nature were in fact set aside. But, the powers of the spirits were exercised upon preserving the physical organs and functions of this Jew, so that Life would remain, and the Vitalizing Principle perform its work in preserving the Jew as a living mortal.
Do not wonder at this, for I must tell you that before these messages shall be completed, you will be told of many Truths that will be more astonishing, and contrary to what humans call the "Laws of Nature", than is the case of the Wandering Jew.
I will not write more now. With my Love to you and your friend, I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, John.

I am Josephus.
I am the Jewish historian, and now a Christian. You are not a man to let alone. I mean that I must write some of my knowledge of the things of those ancient days, for I see that you are selected to do a Great Work. I want to contribute to the Truth of Jesus' Life on Earth.
He lived just before I wrote, but I had heard of him many times. I know that he was a real existing being. In my history of the Jews I mentioned him. When the learned say that what is there said, is interpolated, they say what is not True, for he did live, and taught in Palestine as the New Testament claims. I never met him, but the wonders of his works were circulated all over the country, and caused much agitation on the part of the leaders of the Jews.
I never wrote much about him, because we all looked upon him as a mere agitator and destroyer of our religion. To such we never gave much notoriety in our writings.
This same Jesus of Nazareth lived as a human, and was crucified by the Romans at the clamor of the Jews. I want to tell you this because it is claimed that he never lived on Earth.
I am a follower of him, believe in his teachings, and have received the New Birth that he taught. I live in the Celestial Heavens where only his followers live. He was the True Son of God.
His mission was to show humans The Way to God's Divine Love, and to declare the Rebestowal of the Divine Love. I tell you that this is the Most Important Truth in all the Heavens, except this; that God is Love. These two constitute the hope of Humankind, and furnish the means by which human may acquire Immortality. Without this New Birth, humans will remain merely humans, and will not partake of the Divine Love, and the home in the Celestial Spheres. I say this, because I know from experience what this New Birth means, and from observation, that those who have never received it cannot enter these Spheres. So human must believe this Great Truth.
Many Jews have become believers, since becoming inhabitants of the Spirit World. The large majority of the inhabitants of the Celestial Heavens are those whom we called Gentiles. God had no chosen people, in the sense that He designed to save any particular nation, in preference to all others. He knows no preference. All are His Children. The Great Gift is for all who ask for it in Faith.
I must not write more tonight, but with your permission will come again.
Vespasian is a Christian now, but he never was while on Earth, notwithstanding that it was said that he was. He continued a pagan as long as he lived. He knew something of the Christian teachings (of Jesus), and after he had been in the Spirit World a considerable time, he received the Light, and was born again. He is in the Celestial Heavens and a follower of the Master.
So you see, many Jews, Gentiles, and pagans, who rejected the Master and his teachings on Earth, have since becoming spirits had the opportunity, and embraced it, of becoming partakers of the Divine Love and followers of the Master.
Well, you may be surprised to know that Herod is also a Christian. But no pen can portray the sufferings that he had to undergo. Oh the long years of repentance, torment and darkness! His experience was a hell indeed. But the Divine Love and Mercy of the Father were even sufficient for his Redemption. Among all the spirits of our Celestial Heavens, none are more humble and meek than is this same Herod. His Life, voluntarily assumed, is one of service and devotion to the Master. I think that his Love for the Master is so great, that even he cannot appreciate it.
I will, with all my Love and earnestness, accept your invitation, for the work is of the greatest importance and the time is ripe. Oh what an Awakening there will be when the Divine Truths of God, which the Master is communicating through you shall come to the knowledge and consciousness of Humankind.
I am your brother in Christ, and a fellow worker. So I will say with all my Love and best wishes, goodnight, Josephus.
