NEW TRUTHS ABOUT SPIRITUALISM 

August 24th, 1915.

I am here, Jesus:

    I merely want to say that the book you have been reading is one that shows that Spiritualism is an established thing in this world of mortals.  It is beyond doubt that spirits and mortals communicate.  That spirits know just what mortals are doing on earth and bow to influence them in their loves and actions.

    Well, that is the very reason why I am communicating to you these Truths.  For as you say, they were never before communicated to any mortal.  Well, because no medium was fitted to receive them and the world was not in condition to believe as it is now.  All this was a part of God's Plan to bring about a Salvation of Humankind.  If these Truths had been communicated at the time of the occurrence that you read of in that book, they would have been received with incredulity, even by the Spiritualists themselves.  So the date for the communication of these Truths was postponed, until we saw that mortals were ready to receive these Truths.  Which is now.

    Question asked by Mr. Padgett of Jesus, which was often the case during Jesus writings when he was giving advice to Mr. Padgett.

    I have read some of it.  It is more the imagination of spirits who attempted to impress the believers in Spiritualism with the idea that it was true and contained a true account of the Creation of the world since.  But it is not true.  Has never been received as true by the people.  Will not be so received, but will soon be forgotten.

    My writings will contain only the Truth.  Those Truths must be received and accepted by humans.  For in them is the Eternal Happiness, or otherwise, for humankind.  So you need not fear that they will not be received.

    The power that is behind the present moment to spiritualize the world will not fail.  It will be accomplished through my messages, which are being delivered through you.  You will not pass over until my messages shall be fully declared to the world.  Neither will your mental faculties be impaired, but rather increased.  With all this will be given you power to do many wonderful things, which will cause many to think and believe in what you may give to the world as Truth coming from me.  I cannot write more.

Your friend and brother, Jesus

I am here, Luke.

    I want to write a few lines on the subject about which you and your friend Dr. Stone were talking.  That is; as to whether Spiritualism, as now understood and taught, supplies that which satisfies the souls of humans in their longings for happiness, peace and contentment.

    I have heard, in the course of my spirit life, a great many preachers and teachers of Spiritualism.  Both in recent years and all along the ages, from the time of my first entrance into spirit life.  For you must know that Spiritualism is not a new thing, having its origin, or belief, in the recent years that followed the manifestations in America.  All along the ages spirits have manifested to humankind in one phase, or another.  Humans have believed in Spiritualism and discussed it.

    Of course, in former times when the churches had the great power, which enabled them to dictate the beliefs of humans, Spiritualism was not so openly taught or discussed as in these latter years.  Nevertheless, it has always, during the time that I have named, been known to humankind.  Never have its teachings gone beyond the mere phenomena, which demonstrated to its believers the continuity of life and the communication of spirits.  The higher things of the soul's development and the Kingdom of God, as you have been instructed, were never thought of, or at least, never taught, or believed in.  Only the two facts that I have spoken of were discussed and accepted.  Even today, the scientific humans who are investigating it deal only with the phenomena and are satisfied with proof that human never dies.

    At no time has the existence of the Divine Love, or the Celestial Kingdom of God been sought for, or taught, by the teachers of Spiritualism.  In fact such things could not have been taught, for they never have been known.

    God has never been anything more, to the Spiritualist, than some indefinable abstract force, whose Existence is not of sufficient certainty to make Him anything more than a mere Principle, as some call Him, and The Laws governing all Nature are the only things that humans must look to for their ideas of right, wrong and the government of their conduct in life.

    The Spiritualists speak of the love of human for one another.  The brotherhood of humans.  The cultivation of the mind and the moral qualities, but admit of no outside help, or if so, of the help of some departed friend, who may not be at all competent to help.  Or, if so, such help is only that which one can give to another.  Even when the help of what is called the higher spirits is spoken of, it involves no different quality of help.

    I know that spirits do help mortals, and also harm them.  But all such help, according to the ideas of the Spiritualists, is based upon what they suppose these spirits possess in the way of superior intellectual acquirements or moral qualities.

    The soul of human, which is that part of them that is made in the image of God, although it may be unconsciously, is longing for that which will make such image become Substance, with its resultant Happiness and Joy.  Yet you will not find that any Spiritualist teaches, or attempts to teach, how, or in what way, such Substance may be acquired.  Or the fact that there is such a Substance.  They do not know that the Divine Love, coming through the working of the Holy Spirit, is the only thing that can enable the image to be Transformed into the Substance.  Hence they cannot teach the Truths.  As a consequence, the longings of a human's soul are never satisfied by the teachings of Spiritualism.

    Do you suppose that if the Great Truth of Spiritualism had embraced the Greater Truth of the Soul Development, that it, Spiritualism, would now be the weak, unattractive thing that it is?  That humans would not have sought and embraced it in vast numbers?  Spiritualism, with all the Truths that belong to it, is the True Religion of the Universe. One which would prove more effective in bringing humans into a state of reconciliation with the Father, than all other religions combined.  But it is powerless and without drawing power as a religion, because it has not the teachings which show humans the way to God's Divine Love and to the satisfying of the soul's longings.

    Some day, in the near future, this defect will be remedied.  Then you will see men and women flock to its bosom.  So that they can enjoy, not only the happiness which communication with their departed friends give them, but also, the Happiness which the development of the soul by the Divine Love gives them.

    Why the Great Revelation of this Truth has been delayed to Spiritualists so long, I do not know.  Except it may be that humankind was not ready to receive it before.  Now the time has come.  False beliefs of the orthodox churches and the want of belief of the Spiritualists, will both disappear.  Humans be made free and the possessors of the combined Truths of Spiritualism and the Existence of the Divine Love, which brings to them not only Happiness and Peace, but Immortality.

    I must not write more tonight as you are tired, so I will say good night.  Your brother in Christ, Luke

I am here Job,

    Let me say a few words tonight upon a subject that is of importance to humankind and to the future of humankind.

    I see that you have been reading a book professing to give communications from a spirit who claims to be possessed of a divine mission, in the way of teaching humans the Truths of the soul.  Of the way to immortality and life.  Well, you may accept what is said with some degree of Truth, as to the condition of spirits who are progressing in the development of their natural love, as to the facts that await a soul after it has left the mortal life.  Many of the statements contained in the writings are True.  Should be accepted and acted upon by mortals who desire a knowledge of the True Way to a Kingdom of the purified soul and to a reconciliation to God, in the way of renunciation.  (The Spirit Teachings received by William Stainton Moses.) 

    God is Good.  Not the hateful and merciless being that your orthodox beliefs teach.  Is always the same.  Now, as in the days of old, when humans conception of Him were determined by their own ideas of what a God should be and what humans should believe Him to be.

    There are many things taught in the writings of the book that are not true.  Though, in accord with the knowledge possessed by the writers, and suited to the condition of the medium through whom the messages were delivered, the writers were spirits who were highly developed, intellectually and morally.  Had Knowledge of the Truths, to an extent that made what they said powerful expositions of the Truth, as they knew it to be.  Beyond the fact that humans must, in order to become pure and holy, do those things which the Law of Harmony, in their natural love demands, they could not teach.

    Now, while this is all True, yet they did not know of the Higher Truths, that make a human, or the soul of a human, Divine and At-One with the Father.  Could not teach, because they did not possess any Knowledge of.  Only so far as they knew, must their teachings be accepted as Truth. They were far in advance, in their renditions of the disclosures contained in the Bible, both as to God and Jesus. The final destiny of human and their revelations should be accepted in place of the teachings of the Bible.  They were not only acquainted with the Laws of God, as dealing with human, in their relation to good and evil, but also with the Laws as to human's release from the consequences of their acts and deeds of earth.  As to their release from the consequences of their evil acts.

I would like to write now, but the rapport is broken.

Goodnight,  Job

September 14th, 1918

I am here, Stainton Moses:

    Let me say a word.  I have been present as you read the book called "Spirit Teachings".  Saw, that while many of the statements therein contained are in accord with the Knowledge that you have of spirit matters, yet, that there is wanting the One Great Truth of the New Birth, as it has been explained to you by the Master and other high spirits.  Well, you must not, on account of the fact that this Truth is not alleged and explained by the spirits who wrote the messages that you have been reading, assume that these spirits were not of a higher order, or that they are wanting in the Knowledge of many Truths that the book ("Spirit Teachings") portrays, as to the relationship of spirit to human and human to God, and their future destiny.  No, these spirits were real and genuine.  Taught Truths as they understood them.  They were limited in their Knowledge, by the amount of the progress which they had made in things spiritual.  In attempting to teach, they were honest and declared only those things that they believed to be true.  Many of the Truths that they declared are of vast importance and necessary for humans to know, in order to their own salvation.  They show the way to the condition of the Perfect Human.  The struggles, sufferings and sacrifices that spirits will have to make, in order to arrive at this condition, are not overdrawn.  On the contrary are merely the outlines of what will be necessary for humans and spirits to undergo in order to become the Perfect Human, or spirit.

    These spirits have, since the time of the writings, learned of this formation of the soul into an Essence Divine by reason of the possession of the Divine Love.  Hence, could not use their medium in making known this Great Means of Perfect Salvation, to humankind.  These spirits have, since the time of the writings, learned of this Truth.  Are now progressing towards the Celestial Spheres, which can be obtained only by the means of the Divine Love.  You will notice in the teachings, many expressions that are erroneous.  Solely because the writers did not know to the contrary.  This fact must not cause you to believe that many other things which they teach are not true.  For outside of and independent of this Truth of the Divine Love and what It means to humans and spirits, the teachings are True and should be believed.

    I write this, that you may not doubt the genuineness of the writings.  Or, think that the same were not made by the spirits who professed to write.  These spirits had a mission to perform.  Were earnestly endeavoring to acquaint the medium and through him, the world with the Truths.  The necessity of meditating upon the same and ceasing to be satisfied with the oldtime beliefs.  Which were so erroneous, misleading and harmful, as the spirits declared.

    I have an enlarged Knowledge, of the things that pertain to the spirit world.  To the True Plan of Salvation, as established by the Father.  Have experienced the possession of the Divine Love and its operations and effect upon the souls of humans.  How sufficient It is to relieve humans from the sufferings and penalties of their sins, that they would have to endure, or undergo, were this Divine Love not open and free for them to obtain.  I have that Divine Love to a degree that has made me an Angel of the Celestial Spheres.  A possessor of that Immortality that was unknown to humans when I lived on earth.  Also unknown to the spirits who communicated the writings which you have been reading.  They taught a part only of the Truth of Salvation and Regeneration.  That, the lesser part in importance, but the one which the large majority of humans will know of and obtain, only.

    I thought that I would write this to you.  For I saw that you were very much interested in the "Spirit Teachings".  Had in mind the question as to whether these spirits who wrote were acquainted with the Great Truth.  I am very happy that I am permitted to write.  For I do not want those who have read and believe these writings to rest upon the assurance that the same contain All of Truth, that there is no other way to heaven and happiness, except that set forth in these writings.  It is so important that All of Truth should become known to humans and the opportunity given to them to seek and find the Great Way to Immortality and Bliss.

    I will not write more now, but sometime in the future I should like to come and write further with reference to these matters.  I thank you for your kindness in receiving this imperfect communication.  Will only say further, that the Divine Love, the New Birth and the Celestial Heavens where the Master is forming his Kingdom, are Truths, vital and unchangeable.  The desideratum of the happiness of Humankind.

I will say goodnight, and while a stranger to you, yet, can subscribe myself.

Your brother in Christ, Stainton Moses, the medium.

April 8th, 1917.

I am here, Swedenborg.

    I merely want to say that I have been reading my work as you read.  That I now realize how many statements of error and untruth I made in that work.  The errors are so many that it will take a longer time than I have tonight in which to give you a bare outline of them.  I will soon come and write you and hope that you can give me an evening when I can write without limitation of time.

    Since I have been in the spirit world, I have found that there are so many statements in my writings, of my experiences while in the mortal, when I was permitted, in my spirit, or as I then said, interiors, to enter the spirit world, that were not truly conceived, or interpreted, that it is absolutely necessary that I should correct and describe in accordance with what I now know of the Truth.  Especially is this necessary, as I have on earth a large number of mortals who believe in my teachings, are trying to follow them in their lives and deeds.  So, you will appreciate my anxiety to be permitted to write.  Tonight, I will not write more.

    Well, I am sorry to say, that I did not know of the Divine Love, which by its reception into the soul, made Angels of humans.  Recreated them, so that their souls became in their very Substance, Divine.  I did not know of this Divine Love, as contradistinguished from the love that was bestowed upon humans at their Creation.  Which, in itself, has nothing of the Divine.  No, I was ignorant of this.  Never learned it in the spirit world, in my visits to that world, nor in my conversation with spirits.

    I know now, that no matter how great is the ruling love of a human for falsity and evil, when they enter the hells, they will have the opportunity to have that love changed.  That ultimately, the loves of all who are in the hells, will be changed into the love for Good.  In some instances into the Love of the Divine.  In others, to the purification of their natural loves to that which will make them Perfect Humans.

    These are some of the things that I desire to write about. There are many others equally erroneous.

    I am in the Celestial Spheres.  Of course, am an Angel of God.  The possessor of His Divine Love, that has caused my soul to become Divine and Immortality to become to me a thing of understanding and possession.

    I will stop now.  With my love and the Blessings of God and all the Divine Angels, I will say goodnight.

Your brother in Christ, Swedenborg

May 26th, 1919.

    Let me write a few lines tonight upon a subject that has recently been discussed by a spiritualist, a preacher, a philosopher and a scientist.  That is, the continuity of life after death of the physical body.  Each of these writers approaches the subject from a different viewpoint.  But all arrive at the same conclusion, based upon different means of argument.  That is; that Life continues after death.

    The subject is one in which humankind is vitally interested.  Is worthy of consideration by the greatest minds of investigation and research.  Should be studied in the light of nature, as well as in that of actual demonstration by the experiences of those who have, by their experiences, proved to humankind that the spirits of their departed friends, acquaintances and of others of more or less distinction when in the physical life, do actually live and communicate to humans their existence and the possession of the mental faculties and thoughts that were theirs when mortals.

    The proper study of human would demonstrate this fact and logically doubt would cease to exist.  The difficulty is that humans do not understand humans, or their Creation, faculties and their relationship to things of life, known as the material, or matter.  It is a common belief that matter that is now existent, or rather that what humans see and know of the material, is all that is knowable.  That when that, which is merely physical, as commonly understood, ceases to exist no further, or other knowledge of it can be obtained, or understood by the finite mind of human.  This accepted assumption is not true.  If human would only think for a moment, of what matter, or the material is, they would comprehend the possibilities of its workings and functionings.  Also, of what use may be made of the same, by the minds of the spirits operating upon it in the spiritual world.  That is, in the world beyond the comprehension of the five senses of humans, which are only the means of the spirits working in the ordinary purview of the physical life.

    Matter is eternal.  Exists in all the spheres of the spirit world, just as it does on earth.  Although in different forms and attenuations.  In conditions that may, or may not, be the objects of the physical senses.  Or, of the senses of the mind, which are superior to, or exclusive of, these mere physical senses.  Matter is, in its essential nature, the same.  Notwithstanding the fact that it assumes different forms.  Some visible to the ordinary senses of humans and some entirely outside of that view, or sensation.  As to these senses wholly nonexistent, yet to these other senses of the mind just as real, tractable and subject to the influence of the workings of the mind, as the merely physical matter is to the five senses of humans.

    The world in which humans live is composed of the material.  The world in which I live is also composed of the material, of the same nature, but of different consistencies and objective qualities.  The material of the Universe is always material.  Whether or not it be cognizable by human and subject to their thoughts, inventions and uses.  As human progresses in the study of the same, I mean the practical and experimental, they will discover that there are things of the material in nature, which to them are being developed and made known, which a few years before they had no conception of their existence.  Such is the discovery and use of electricity.  The workings of the Laws of Nature, which enables them to make possible the effects of wireless telegraphy.  These discoveries and workings of Forces of the unseen, are nothing more, or less, than a certain kind of knowledge controlling the same, as to their consciousness, has become apparent.  In all these operations, matter is the thing made use of.  Not any spiritual power as commonly understood by humans.  So you see, matter, whether in the grossly physical of earth, or in the more attenuated and invisible of the spirit world, is that which is used to produce effects.  Is operated on by the mind, whether or not it be tangible and understandable, or not.

    The mind is an entity indivisible and united.  Is not separable into the subjective and objective, as humans frequently teach.  Except in this:  That in its workings, that part of the mind which controls the brain in the ordinary affairs of life may be called the objective.  That part which is suited for and used in controlling the material after it has been transformed into the purely invisible may be called the subjective.  But it is all one mind.  Exists in human while on earth, just as it will, and does, when they become a spirit.

    Human, in their journey through life, I mean when in the earth existence, as well as in the eternal part of their existence, is always of the material.  That is, their soul has a material covering and appearance.  While this material covering changes in its appearance and quality as they progress in the spheres, yet the gross physical of their earth life and the sublimated spiritual of the eternal part of their life, are both of the material.  Real, existing and tangible.  Used for the purpose of their Creation, namely; the protection and individualizing of the soul which they contain.

    Now this being so, you can readily understand that human, when they give up the coarser physical of the human body, does not cease to be of the material.  But becomes an inhabitant of the finer and purer material, of what is called their spirit body.  This body is subject to the Laws governing the material, just as was their physical body subject to these Laws.  The spirit (soul), which in this sense is the real human, clothed in the material, controls and uses that material more effectually than it did when on earth bound in the physical.  All the material of the spirit world is used and formulated by the spirits according to their degree of intelligence and development, as the occasions for such uses may arise.  Such use, or the effects of the same are, or can be made known to human, according as their limitations admit.

    Ordinarily, human's understanding of the effects of the spirit's control of the material of the invisible world, is limited by the capacity of their five senses to comprehend.  As these five senses were Created for the purpose, only of permitting or helping the spirit to manifest itself, with reference to those things which belong to the wholly physical of earth. It rarely happens that humans can perceive the invisible material, or the workings of the Laws controlling the same.

    Now in what I have said, this spirit is merely the mind of human.  The same indivisible mind that they possess when on earth.  But, which because of the limitations of the physical organs, they were not able to function, as regards the invisible material, so that human could understand that functioning and its results.

    Humans, when they die, are thereafter the same being in all their faculties, desires, thoughts and in their ability to use the material, as they were before their death.  Except, that the purely physical organs of their own being are no longer theirs.  As to them they are dead.  Strange as it may seem to you, they can and often do control the physical organs of another human who is living in the flesh, if that human will submit to that control.  When you think for a moment, you will realize that there is nothing remarkable in this.  The mind of the spirit remains just the same as it was before their departure from the body.  Having all its powers, thoughts and consciousness.  If it can obtain control of that, which is necessary to manifest itself to the consciousness of humans, there will be no difficulty in its doing so.  And nothing unusual, or supernatural.  Its own organs of brain, nerves and the five senses having gone, and the brain of every other mortal being subject to the control of its own mind, so long as that mind claims the exclusive use, or control of these organs, the mind deprived of its own physical organs, cannot control.  Because it is a Law of Being, that no mind, in its normal state can be intruded upon by another mind, unless the mind whose seat and functioning are within the spirit body, which is enclosed in the physical body possessing these organs, consents to the control of such organs by the other mind, it cannot use such organs.  The power is in the disembodied spirit, or mind.  Only the opportunity is wanting.

    When the spirit desires to control the invisible material, it is limited only by its intelligence and knowledge of the Law governing such control and its progress in the spirit spheres.

Well, I have written enough for tonight, but will come again and amplify my message.  Thanking you, I will say, good night.

Your friend, Francis Bacon.

February 11th, 1919. 

I am here, Robert Dale Owen:

    Let me say just a word, for I am interested in your work and in the phenomena of Spiritualism.  I have been with you as you read the book, which attempts to show the Truth of spiritual manifestations.  The instances mentioned of spirits showing themselves in the garb of humans are true.  I was then an investigator of the question and had only the knowledge which I received from my own observation.  Hence, was an outsider, as it were, of these spiritual phenomena.  I mean that I was not one of the gifted ones of earth, who can have the power of receiving, or communicating with spirits, by reason of the fact that they possess the power of seeing, or feeling, or hearing the presence of spirits.  I was not so gifted. 

    I am now an investigator of things spiritual.  But not of the possibility of communicating with the spirit world.  For this I know to be a fact and beyond all question.  Humans who doubt the fact, are in the condition of those who will not learn.  Because they do not believe in the First Principles of the Phenomena, are willing to let their prejudices, or their indifference, lead them away from the Truth. 

    The phenomena which I have portrayed in my book are very simple and of the lower order of spiritual phenomena.  Yet humans will not believe, because they fail to approach the subject with open minds and desire to learn the Truth.  Even though the search for the same leads them along lines of investigation that are so foreign to the course of study that they are pursuing in their various vocations.  Of all the bigoted and hardheaded investigators of Truth, the preachers are the most difficult to teach the Truth of Spiritualism.  Their periscope, is one that enables them to see only in a straight line that has been laid down to them for ages and holds them in its iron grasp. 

    I would like to come to you sometime and write you a long description of the spirit world and its phenomena, although it may not surprise you very much, considering what you have had revealed to you. 

    Well, you have asked me some questions which I cannot answer in one breath.  I am in the Third Sphere, where many spirits are pursuing their studies of things which pertain to the Laws of the Spirit World, as well as to the Laws of the Earth.  I have not heard of the Divine Love, except as we call all love, divine.  It must be so, for it leads us to the spheres where those who are sinless and in Harmony with the Father reside.  I am a true believer in the things of God and in the redemption of all humankind, sooner or later.  My intellect is only part of my existence in the spirit world.  Above and greater than that, is the love that causes me to become in Harmony with the Laws of God and at-one with Him.  These are the answers to your questions.  I should like to write you at length upon the Truths of what I have so briefly stated.  I know that you are very busy in receiving communications from the spirit world and have little time for communications from strangers, yet I should like to write at least one letter in reference to my condition and knowledge of things, as I have found them. 

    I say what is true, for I have never heard of the Divine Love in the sense that you have spoken of.  I have never talked with spirits who claim to have this Divine Love and to be better, than are the spirits who are progressing in the love which they have.  As to Immortality, I only know that death merely sets the soul of the mortal free and enables it to enter onto its progress towards the higher spheres, where Truth and Goodness are. 

    Let me wait a moment in my astonishment, for I see more spirits, who seem to be of a different order of spirit from me.  Are brighter, more beautiful and are willing to tell me of the Divine Love.  For they all claim to know it.  I do not understand.  I am sure that if they are possessed of this Divine Love, it is only another form of belief. I am all confused and cannot think for the moment. I will come again.  I must go. 

Good night, Robert Dale Owen

October 3rd, 1915

I am here, Jesus:

    I was with you tonight and you were not very much impressed with the thoughts expressed by the speaker.  Because he did not dwell very much on the qualities of the soul.  Or, the manner in which are perceived the Great Truths of the Father. He spoke of the love of human to human.  Of the duties that humans owed to one another.  Of the wonderful possibilities of the intellect, in guiding human along lines of living that will bring them Happiness and Harmony in their earth life.  He did not show them that the mere intellect is not sufficient to bring them in that condition of soul development which is necessary for their Highest Happiness in the life to come.

    When he spoke of the immortality of the soul, he did not intend to express more than, that the spirits of humans continue to live after the body dies.  He, in fact, does not know what Immortality means, as we have taught you.  He will some day be surprised when he learns that mere continuity of life is not Immortality.  Or, that continuance of existence, which when once possessed, cannot be taken away from the spirit.

    Yet, notwithstanding all this want of Knowledge on his part, he is an earnest Spiritualist.  Is doing much good to mortals.  For he is showing them the fact that the spirit of human is a mere extension of form of what human now possesses.  That there is no such thing as the death of the spirit when the body dies.  Or that the spirit lies with the body in a state of obscurity or nothingness, or rather of oblivion, until, what the orthodox call the great judgment day.

    I am interested in the efforts that these people are now making to build a temple in which to worship and gather in their cause.  I favor the building of the same, because, while they do not preach, or know, the Great and Necessary Truths.  Yet they preach those things which free humans from the beliefs that hold them in thralldom and error, and set them free to receive the Greater Truths, when the time shall come that they shall be known to humanity.  So that I would advise you to help their project to the extent that you feel yourself able.

    Many people will find that the things which they may hear at these meetings, will cause them to arouse from their slumbers and ignorance.  Cause them to investigate for themselves the Truths of Spiritualism.  When once they start and become convinced of one Truth, they will continue to seek.  In the end, if they are sincere seekers, find the Truths.  Because when their minds shall be convinced of the Truths of spirit existence and spirit control, they will then realize, that over and beyond this, there is something that their souls long for and is never satisfied.  The result will be that they will be in condition to readily believe what may be told them, which leads to that which will satisfy their souls in their longings.

    This is the great good that the Spiritualists are doing in their efforts to extend their Spiritualistic Doctrines.  When they are earnest, true believers and teachers in what they know of these things, they will bring about that, which will cause the increase in the number of mortals who will accept the Higher Truths of the Divine Love and the Immortality of the soul and the way to obtain it.  So you see, that while you may not be much benefited in your soul's aspirations in attending these meetings, or affiliating with these people, yet I would advise that you do everything in your power to help the movement to establish firmly that church in this City.  For it will be a great influence in attracting people in all parts of the country to the Truths of Spiritualism.

    Let not the thought that this church may not teach the Real Truths of the Soul Development, or those things which will bring humans in Attunement with the Father, cause you to in any way discredit the movement that they may endeavor to start, in the way of a revival, as one of their preachers said.  A little of the Truth is better than none at all. Especially when it leads to free humans from a bondage, that has caused them to blindly follow the teachings of those who are in darkness and error.

    I will not write more tonight, but will say this, that you and your friend (Dr. Leslie R Stone) must believe what has been told you.  Continue to pray to the Father and seek more of the Divine Love.  When the time comes I will inform him of the work which he shall do.  It will be an important one.  One which will bring him in close contact with me and the Higher Forces of the Celestial Spheres.  He is now in a condition to receive this soul development.  He must let his mind and soul expand to their fullest extent, so that when it comes, I mean the Divine Love, with the Great and Wonderful Power which will accompany it, he will be in a condition to receive it.

    I am your friend and brother, and his also.  You must both believe that I am writing this to you.  For I am that Jesus that all the spirits have told you about.  If it were profitable, I would come to you, as I came a few nights ago, and show my glory and power.  But this is not necessary, for you will believe without this and so much the stronger will be your belief.

    I must stop now.  So with my love and blessings for you both and my peace, which the world cannot give you, I will say goodnight.

Your brother and friend, Jesus
