I am here, Jesus.
I want to add a little to what your grandmother said on the efforts of the Spirit World to show humans the Truths of the Father.
I know that it will be difficult to make humans believe in communications that may come through mediums. That the churches will antagonize the reception of such communications. I want to tell you that there will be such power exerted by the Spirits of the Celestial Heavens, that no efforts on the part of humans, or churches, will be able to withstand these efforts of the spirits. Just as soon as mortals get in condition to receive these Truths, they will be given all the powers necessary. The Truths will come with such force and exactness that the erroneous beliefs will have to give way and let the Truths that I speak of take their places.
I know that it will be difficult to get men and women in the proper condition to receive these communications, but it will be accomplished, and that before a great while.
Humanity is now longing for the Divine Truths of the Father. Their longings must be satisfied. No longer will form, ceremony, and the mere declarations of the churches, as to what God has provided for His Children, and what the churches have provided be sufficient to satisfy. The mind, as well as the credulity, of humans must be considered. When the teachings of the churches are against reason, and the Knowledge of Spiritual Laws, which humans may learn, these souls, which hunger and thirst for God's Divine Love, and the Way to obtain it must be satisfied.
I know that my Kingdom will be established on Earth in a fuller and more Truthful Way than ever. Humans will believe in me with a greater confidence that they ever have, not as a god to be worshipped, but as a brother and friend, who is able to show them The Way to the Divine Love of the Father, and to their own Salvation and Immortality.
So, you see the importance of getting good and righteous mediums to convey these Great Truths. Mere physical phenomena do not enlighten the soul very much, as to its destiny, and what road it shall travel to reach God's Divine Love. Such phenomena will henceforth become of less importance in bringing humans to a Knowledge of what awaits them in the Spirit Life.
I will try to influence many mortals to get in this psychic condition, so that they may receive these Divine Truths. Thus, do the Great Work that is necessary for the Redemption of humans to a greater degree than in the past.
So you must be constant in your work, and Faith. After a little while, many will engage in the same work.
I must stop now, your brother and friend, Jesus.

Samuel, the Prophet of God of the Old Testament.
I am the same Samuel, whom the woman of Endor called from the Spirit World to show Saul his doom. As I come to you tonight, I came to her at that time, only my purpose is not the same. I am not the same spirit in my qualifications.
I am now a Christian, and Know what the Divine Love of the Father means, while then, I did not. Was a spirit living in comparative happiness and existing in the consciousness that I had done my work on Earth, and was then enjoying the repose of the righteous. For as we understood that word then in both the mortal and Spirit Worlds, I was a righteous human.
I come to you tonight, because I see that you have been chosen to do the Great Work of the Master in His efforts to Redeem Humankind from their lives of sin and error, and to show them The Way, by which they may partake of the Divine Nature of the Father and obtain Immortality.
How much more humankind, and spirits too, are Blessed now than they were when I was a mortal, and for a long time after I became a spirit. My God then and your God now, are the same, but His Great Gift of Divine Love was not in existence then, as It is now. So you and all other mortals should realize the Great Privilege you have because of this Gift and the Gift of Jesus to explain, and show The Way by which that Divine Love may be obtained. That; freely without mental exercise of a high order, but merely by the longings and aspirations of the soul in its desires to become a part of the Father's Divinity.
I tell you that the Ways of God are Wonderful and Mysterious. His Plans, while to us may seem to be working slowly, yet they are Working Surely, and will be accomplished in His Own fullness of time.
I never knew when on Earth, that God was such a God of Love and Mercy. He was our Jehovah and Ruler. He was a god of anger, wrath, and a jealous god, as l thought, ever ready to punish those whom He thought to be His enemies with massacre and death. I obeyed Him and performed His Work, as I understood I should, more through fear than Love. In fact, Love was never with me a weapon or instrument to be used in bringing the disobedient Jew to a compliance with what we thought was the Will of God. In such a method of procuring obedience, the soul was never developed. Love was a minor factor in making the Jews obedient to the Father's Requirements.
Our principal desires were for the success of our earthly undertakings. When these were accomplished, we had no further use for our god, except to keep Him in reserve for occasions that might arise, when, as we thought, we might need His Assistance.
I know that Moses commanded the Jews to Love God with all their souls, mind and strength. Many of them thought that they were doing so. But in Reality their love was limited by the extent of their desires for worldly gain. This I know, for when they had succeeded in obtaining what they wanted, they forgot to Love God. Hence, we prophets were so often required to instruct them. So, frequently, did call them to a recollection of God, and the danger they ran in forgetting Him and His Laws. We seldom attempted to have them call back in their recollections of Him through Love, but nearly always through threatening and the portrayal of dire punishments that would be inflicted upon them should they continue to forget Him.
Thus, it was that Saul sought my help and advice. He thought that not only had God forsaken him, but that he had forsaken God. He expected the punishment, that he thought, would result from such neglect to serve and obey God. He thought, that as I was in the Spirit World and probably very close to God, I would exercise some influence and have the great-threatened calamity arrested. He did not seek me through Love of God, but through fear of his enemies, and dread that God would direct His wrath upon him.
So you see, fear was the ruling sentiment that actuated the Jews, in my time, in their dealings with God. When that fear was allayed, or forgotten, God was forgotten. Only again remembered when danger appeared. Of course, there were many exceptions to this class of Jews, for there were some who really Loved God. That; in a way that no fear of wrath, or anger, on His part, formed a part of their Love.
So, you will see that the Laws of Moses were not so much intended to regulate the Spiritual, or soul, part of the Jews, but to control them in their dealings with one another in the practical affairs of Life, and in their dealings with the heathens and strangers.
The Moral Laws, thus taught, were taught for the purpose of making them righteous as between themselves. Then, as a consequence, so they thought, they would be righteous towards God.
But the Great Essential, to make them One with God by obtaining the Divine Love, was missing, and never sought for, and could not then be found, for it did not then exist for humankind. I am now a Christian, and know that the Divine Love is a Reality, and that all humans may have it if they will, and will only seek for It.
Well, the woman of Endor was not a witch, and did not practice the black art. She was a good woman, possessed of powers to call up the dead, as they were called. She did not engage in practices of doing harm to mortals, such as putting spells upon them, or using charms. She was a True Medium. While not possessed of much Spirituality, yet she was a woman of good morals, and had around her many spirits of the higher order, whose only desires were to do good to mortals. She was the one who was careful to have no evil spirits come and communicate. Her powers with the higher ones were very great. Had she been of what you call the lower class of mediums, I would never have responded to her call. She was in rapport with humans, and other spirits, whose thoughts were turned to the Higher Things of the Spirit World. Hence, she had no difficulty in having us appear when she desired it, for the consolation of help to mortals.
Saul, I had instructed and advised when alive. Naturally, after I became a spirit, and he needed help, he would seek my advice.
In those days, mediums were more numerous than most people suppose. Because of their being so common, and of such different kinds, and the most of them engaged in necromancy and evil arts, there were passed strict laws against them pursuing their calling, or engaging, in the practice of consulting spirits. But not all were bad. Many of them did good in the World, and among these was the woman of Endor, notwithstanding that she has been so vilified and abused by the churches and preachers. You may be surprised when I tell you that she is now living high up in the Celestial Heavens, a Redeemed Spirit enjoying the Divine Love of God.
Well, I must stop. I will come again sometime and tell you of the things that I know, in reference to these Higher Spheres.
I will say goodnight, your friend and brother, Samuel.

I am here, Elias.
I will write a few words in respect to the sermon that you listened to tonight on the question: Do the dead communicate with the living?
The preacher is a believer in what he enunciated. The only trouble with him is that he has very little knowledge of the Truths of Spiritualism. Hence, his ability to teach these Truths is very limited. The mere fact that the soul and spirit of human continue to live when they shuffle off the Mortal Coil, as he described it, is but the First Truth of this great subject. Is one that all spirits learn immediately upon their separation from the body, no matter what their religious beliefs may be, or whether they have any such beliefs or not. This fact is one about which there can be no difference in Knowledge. They all know, in a moment, as it were, that there is no such thing as the death of the soul, the Real Human. This, as I say, is the mere beginning of Knowledge. Beyond the fact of this continuous existence, this Knowledge serves no purpose, as to the destiny of human.
The preacher was much interested in the book about which he was talking. Found in it, some statements that are confirmatory of the beliefs that he already possessed, and some statements that are new to him. Which gave him somewhat larger views on the subject, but necessarily these views are not of the Vital Truths, which a more complete or extended Knowledge of Spiritualism will give to him.
The spirit of whom he was talking knew little more than what appeared to his senses. Of course, these things are only those that come to the knowledge of the spirit when it first enters the Spirit Land. Its Truths are not learned in a moment, frequently not for centuries.
As to the Higher Truths (of Divine Love and the Celestial Spheres of God), are never learned by a great majority of the spirits. So that, what is contained in the book referred to is very consoling to those who believe that their Loved ones are waiting to meet them, and will receive them, when they cease to be mortals, with Love, affection and joy. Further, that these Loved ones are with the mortals while on Earth, watching over them and trying to help them. Yet no information as to the lives that these spirits must lead in the Spirit World as soon as their status is determined by the Great Law of Attraction, and what the future may be is disclosed to them. The reason is that the spirit communicant did not know.
As the preacher said, it is a glorious knowledge to possess, that human, after death, still lives. That their soul does not have to wait for some great resurrection day to realize that it has Life and Consciousness. The preacher is still in the dark as to the conditions of spirits and their destiny, and as to the means provided to attain to the Heavens, and become released from the hells, by the Father's Love. To merely live is not the end of humans, or spirits. The fact of living as a spirit of today, instead as a mortal of yesterday, does not demonstrate immortality. The consoling thought that the preacher expressed, from the fact of continued existence after death, are merely the wishes of desire based on such existence.
The preacher has, at this time, within his own soul, that which is freed from the limitations of his erroneous beliefs in many supposed truths, and would cause him to know, that the Life in the Spirit World is something more than the mere living. That this living is only a means to the realization and possession of that Immortality that is so often preached about and hoped for.
He has much of the Divine Love in his soul. That soul is struggling to expand and get in condition to receive more of this Divine Love. Is prevented from so doing, only by the erroneous beliefs that he has imbibed and misconstrued, by his long years of living in, what he calls, the truths of the Bible, and the fear that if he loses such beliefs, or questions the Truth of the source of his beliefs, there can be no salvation for him. This is not surprising, for he knows no source of correction of these errors of his beliefs. As a wise human, and wise only because he does not know how to obtain greater wisdom, he holds on to his beliefs and reverences, the source thereof. His intellect is satisfied.
The soul, the all important soul, which can be fed only by its own perceptions, is like the imprisoned bird, panting and struggling to beat down the bars of its imprisonment and get out into the Freedom of God's Wide Atmosphere. His mind, the misguided mind, is the bars of his soul's freedom and prevents it from opening up its own perceptions. If the preacher only knew The Truth, and The Way to open the doors to his soul's prison, he would long for that Truth, and seek that Way with all the energies of his soul's powers. Would then, become free and progress towards the attainment of the certain Knowledge of Immortality.
This I will say now, that sometime he will learn The Truth and The Way. His beliefs will become in accord with the longings of his soul. The shackles of his mind's erroneous beliefs will be loosened and fall from him. Then he will realize that he is a True Son of the Father, privileged to partake of the Great Love without limit in his onward progress to the Celestial Spheres.
The church was filled with many spirits interested in the discourse. Anxious to learn any Truths that might be declared. But they learned nothing. For what he declared, as Truths, they already knew, notwithstanding that these spirits were of all kinds, wicked, dark and suffering, and bright and happy. Mostly still humans without the physical body.
Well, I thought it might be advisable to write as I have, so that, if the preacher should ever hear this message, he will see the necessity for seeking the Deep and Real Truths that disclose the conditions and destinies of the spirit of humans. Besides, he will also realize the importance of his Knowing these Truths, so that he may teach them, not only to humans, but to spirits as well, who form the vastly larger part of his auditors.
I will not write more now. With my Love and prayers for the Father's Blessings on you, I am, your brother in Christ, Elias.
