New Birth - Celestial Spirits, Divine Angels, write about the Divine Truth of the New Birth of Divine Love in the Human Soul. What the New Birth is, and how a New Birth of soul is obtained, in their experience.
Then, the New Birth is simply the effect of the inflowing of this Divine Love of the Father into the soul of human by the work of the Holy Spirit, and the disappearing of everything that tends to sin and error by the power of the Divine Love of God.
New Birth
July 30th, 1915
A master in Israel, and yet I did not understand this New Birth. How few understood it then, and how few now.
Oh, the long years that have gone by since Jesus told me that I must be born again to inherit Eternal Life, and how comparatively seldom this Great Truth is taught by the churches and the teachers of religious matters. This Divine Truth is at the very Foundation of Humankind's Redemption. Until a human receives this New Birth, they cannot possibly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Humans may claim to have faith in God, and believe on Jesus' name, and conform to all the essentials and sacraments of the churches, and yet, unless they have this New Birth, their faith and works as christians are vain.
This I know from my own experience, as well as from the teachings of the Master. I desire to emphasize, with all the powers that I have, that it is the only important requirement to Immortality. The New Birth means the flowing into the soul of a human, the Divine Love of the Father. So that, that human becomes, as it were, a part of the Father in His Divinity and Immortality.
When this Divine Truth comes to a human, they commence to take on themselves the Divine Nature of the Father. All that is part of them, that may be called the Natural Nature, commences to leave them. As the Divine Love continues to grow and fill their soul, the Natural Love and affections for things of the earth will disappear. As a result, they will become At-One with the Father, and Immortal.
Why don't those who profess to be teachers of Jesus' Truths, which are the Divine Truths of the Father, and all followers of him, pay more attention to this Vital Truth?
When you shall have received the messages from the Master, I think you will find this Divine Truth of the New Birth to be the one thing that Jesus will emphasize and reiterate most. It is the most important thing for humans, not only to hear about and acquiesce in their intellectual beliefs, but also to actually experience.
I wish that I had understood it when on earth, as I do now. He meant, as no human could see the wind, or tell from whence it came, or whither it was going, so no human who received this New Birth, could see the operations of the Holy Spirit, or know whence it came. But this latter expression must be modified, because we all know it comes from The Father, but just how we do not know. The Holy Spirit is as invisible as the wind, and yet it is just as real and existing.
Humans need not trouble their intellects to know exactly what this Great Power is, for it is sufficient to know: that which causes the New Birth is the Divine Love of the Father coming into the souls of humans.
I must stop as I have written enough for tonight. So let me subscribe myself a brother who has received the New Birth, and a Lover and follower of the Master, Nicodemus.
New Birth

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 and 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.

I am here, St. Paul.
I merely want to write about the Divine Truth of the New Birth, because I speak, or rather it is written, that the blood of Jesus saves humans from condemnation, and sin and death.
This is not True. I never wrote such declarations of what purports to be True. Jesus did not save humans by his death, or sacrifice. As I am informed now, and learned when on earth, he never claimed that his blood, or sacrifice, saved humans. I hardly see how that could be so, because, the blood did not have any efficacy to affect the condition, or Spiritual development, of humans. His death could not help humans to become Redeemed from any condition of evil, or defilement, that they might be in. Hence, there can be no possible connection between his blood, or sacrifice, and the condition of humans, whether good or bad.
I know that it is claimed that the blood of Jesus tended to appease the wrath of God towards humans, as did his death. This presupposes that God had a wrath against humans, and that only blood and death could satisfy it. What a barbarous assumption!
God was never a God of wrath, always God of Love. Humans can come to Him in reconciliation through Love only. Not through any sacrifice. Jesus never taught this doctrine of sacrifice, and does not now. But, repudiates it and says that it is a doctrine that is doing his cause and the Salvation of Humankind a great harm.
If humans will only think for a moment, they will see that the only relation between God and human is that which arises from the soul's condition. God, as I said, is Divine Love. For human to be At-One with Him, human must become Divine Love. I mean that their soul must be filled, or permeated, with this Divine Love to such an extent that it will become impossible for anything that is not of Divine Love, to be, or remain, a part of their soul.
I do not mean that it is necessary for humans to obtain this Divine Love in order to live and enjoy a happiness which is far above the happiness that they have on earth. For that would not be True. God has given to human a Natural Love, which, when enjoyed in all its intended purity, is sufficient of itself to make humans comparatively happy. But this Natural Love does not make human a part of God's Oneness, or enable them to partake of the Divine Essence of the Father. This Oneness is absolutely necessary for humans to become reconciled to God as Jesus taught. So, while the large majority of humans may never become reconciled, in the sense that I have mentioned, yet they will be able to enjoy this inferior happiness in the Spirit World, to such a degree that no sin, or evil, will be permitted to mar it.
A small minority will become Reconciled to God and enjoy the Superior Happiness which such Reconciliation will bring to them. They will be in their Nature and Substance like the Father, having His Divine Essence and partaking of His Immortality. This Reconciliation can only be obtained by what is called the New Birth, which comes to humans, not by reason of any power, or effort, on their part only, but by the operations of the workings of the Holy Ghost, the Instrument of God in bringing about this New Birth. Yet human has their part to perform also in this Great Renewal of their Spiritual Being. They must open their soul to the inflowing of this Divine Love. Must pray to the Father for the inflowing of the (Divine Love by the) Holy Ghost. With their prayers, must believe that The Father is waiting to bestow it.
Without the desire on the part of human to receive this Divine Love, with prayer and Faith, it will not come to them. For God never forces any human soul to a New Birth against their will. I tell you this, because, in my opinion, this is the One Great Important Truth of the Mission of Jesus on earth. The one that human beings should understand and try to comply with. I Know now, as I never knew on earth, the full meaning of this Divine Truth. I thank God all the time for His Goodness and Mercy.
Only those who receive this New Birth become Divine Angels. All other spirits remain mere spirits, subject to all the changes and conditions that belong to spirits. For there is nothing fixed, as to those who may remain mere spirits, any more than there was in the case of the First Man and Woman. We know now that changes may take place in the conditions of these spirits during the workings of God's Plans.
Many humans may, even when they know of the things that I have written, be content to remain mere spirits. Live their Spiritual Lives in the happiness, which their Natural Love gives them. But it seems to me, that all humans, if they will think a little, and understandingly, will seek for the Greater Love, Happiness and Immortality.
I wanted to write this tonight, for I see that some of the teachings of my Epistles may tend to lead humans astray, on this most important question as to what saves them from their sins and reconciles them to God. I will not write more tonight. But will come at times and write you in regard to the various Spiritual Truths of this Kingdom
I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, Paul.

I am here, Selim.
I was the first Mohammedan Sultan of that name. I want to write you for a while, if you do not object.
I have listened to what Paul wrote. Some things that he said I do not understand. I mean the difference between the spirit who receives what he calls the New Birth, and the spirit who has only their Natural Love.
I know that I have a Love for God and a Love for my fellow human. I am very happy and do not desire greater happiness. Have surroundings that I cannot conceive can be excelled in their beauty and desirability.
I know nothing of the other Love, and fail to comprehend how there can be any other Love than the one which God has given us. This Love, in varying degrees, we all have. According as we possess it, and have become freed from the sins and errors of Life, I mean the Earth Life, are we happy.
Our Prophet, may Allah Bless him, never taught us of any other Love than the one I speak of. I do not believe he knows of any other Love.
I confess that my curiosity is excited to learn just what Paul means by his Doctrine of the New Birth. I shall make the effort to find out. Of course, I will have to have something more than his mere statement, or even the statement of all the Christians, to cause me to believe in the reality of this doctrine. But I feel that there may be some Truth in it. If so, I want to learn it.
I will not write more tonight but will, with your permission, do so later.
I will say goodnight and God bless you. Selim

I am here, Aleyabis.
Let me write. I have been listening to those who have preceded me. I am interested in what they have said.
I know nothing about this New Birth, although I have lived in the Spirit World a long time, and in great happiness, yet I have never before heard of the doctrine.
I feel like the Turk, in that, if there be any Truth in this Doctrine, I would like to learn what it means. Of course, to learn I will have to make investigation. To do so I must get a starting point. If you can show me how I may come in contact with anything that may assist me in my investigation, I will be obliged to you.
I am a Persian and was named Aleyabis. I lived four thousand years ago. I was, and am, a follower of Zoroaster, the divine teacher of God. I am living in the highest spheres where the followers of our teacher live. We are not in the same heaven with the spirits of other beliefs, but have a heaven all to ourselves. Although, I sometimes come in contact with spirits from these other heavens.
Sometimes I come in contact with the Christian spirits and talk to them, but we do not discuss our doctrines, because we each so firmly believe in the truth of our respective beliefs, that no good would come of any discussion as to their relative merits.
I see a great many spirits around you. Some are very beautiful and bright, more so than I have seen before. Also, seem to have much Love in their being.
She is here, and says she will be pleased to show me the way to start in my investigations. I will accept her kind offer.
I will come to you again sometime and tell you the result of my investigation, your friend, Aleyabis.

I am here, Jesus.
I am glad that you are feeling better tonight. I see that you will soon be in condition to take my messages again. Then I will be ready to write you more of my Truths.
The messages that you have been getting from the spirits of those who have lived in the Spirit World for a long time, all go to confirm the Truth of my writing to you, and of the reality of the New Birth, and the necessity of humans getting this New Birth in order to become Immortal.
So, I think that these messages will work a great confirmation of what I write. For that purpose, you have been permitted to receive them, and they to write to you. I thought, that considering the fact that humans will be so loath to believe what I write through you, that it is wise that all these spirits should write.
I will not write more tonight. I will have you prepare to soon take another of my messages. I will rewrite the message that I last wrote you, as it is not entirely satisfactory.
Well, that is a subject upon, which I will write you fully later. I can only give you a satisfactory explanation of that question in a message that will require me to write longer than I can tonight. So, wait until then.
I will stop now and say that you will soon be in the condition that we both desire you to be in. I give you my blessings and Love, your friend and brother, Jesus.

I am here, the man who had the ponderous mind, as you called him.
Since writing to you last I have had a great experience. The result is, I see what a damned fool I must have appeared to all of you at the time. I wrote, and because of the manner I wrote in, I now see that I was really an ignorant human, and that I was learned in only what I didn't know. That is in my egregious conceit, that what I didn't know was not worth learning. Since that time I have really had my eyes opened. My mental powers awakened to the fact that I was just on the borderland of learning what is here for me to learn.
I have had the benefit of association with members of your band, and with many other intelligent spirits. I have learned that there are several spheres higher than that in which I live. That they can be obtained only by progress in knowledge and mental acquirements.
Some of these spirits have shown me Truths of the Spirit Life that I never conceived of, and taught me Laws governing this Spirit World that I never heard of.
I must have been very stupid, as well as hide bound. I do not wonder that you all, in a kind of derision, called me the man with the ponderous mind.
I am now in the second sphere, and am studying the Laws of the Universe, and other needful things under the supervision of competent and learned teachers. I have studied also those things which tend to enlighten me of things spiritual. Your friends who first took me in hand have helped me very much, and especially your grandmother, who seems not only so beautiful but to be so filled with knowledge. She is a wonderful spirit. Her teachings have helped me beyond all comprehension.
I have not yet been able to quite believe what she tells me about the New Birth and the Divine Love of the Father. Although when I meet these spirits, who claim to have received this New Birth, I have to think that there is something in it, for they are all so much more beautiful and bright than are we who have not believed in it.
I am seeking the Light though, and that which will show me that there is some reality in this Doctrine. I shall not hesitate to seek further and accept it for my own salvation.
I came tonight merely to tell you that I am no longer the man with the ponderous mind in my own conceit. That I am a very humble student, of the many things of which I had no knowledge or experience.
I will not write more tonight, and will say goodnight, your friend, Samuel R. Smith.
