REINCARNATION

I have met spirits who said they believed in the doctrine of Reincarnation, but strange to say, none of them had ever been able to Reincarnate, though they persisted that they felt assured that other spirits had who were just in that condition that permitted it, and that they would when they became in a condition that was suitable.  I have noticed that these spirits never got in that suitable condition, but progressed in the Spirit World, and now say that they were mistaken, and are thankful that there is no such thing as Reincarnation.

I am here, Saelish.

    I was, when on Earth, an inhabitant of the great Empire of Assyria, of which Nineveh was the capital.  I was not a king but was one of a great king's magicians, or wise men.  When I lived was a human of great influence and power in the kingdom.

    I came tonight to tell you a great Truth in connection with the soul.  As you may infer, when I lived we knew nothing of the One and Only God, but we worshipped many gods, great and little, and believed that these gods could help or harm us, just as we deserved their help, or their injurious workings.  So our many gods sometimes came in conflict in their treatment of us poor mortals, so that we at times hardly knew whether our gods were our friends or our enemies.

    Of course, the help that we sought for was all of a Material nature.  Never did we think of help in the way of preparing us for a Future Life, that we supposed was only for those of us, who by our great achievement in battle, or in intellectual pursuits, would upon death, become gods ourselves.  The poor, ordinary mortals were only intended to live the Mortal Life, at least during the incarnation that they then had.  Their expectations were that perhaps in some future incarnation, they might have the opportunity and the favors of the unknown gods, so that they might become gods themselves.

    This was the substance of the beliefs and hopes of the Assyrians at that time.  Many millions died in that belief.  And, are now inhabitants of the several planes, of certain Spheres of the Spirit World.  None of them has ever returned for a new incarnation, and thereby start on their way to become gods.  This for the reason, which is sufficient to satisfy them when they became spirits, sooner or later.  Those humans, who they supposed had become gods when they died, were in the Spirit World, spirits themselves, and not gods at all.

    So you see that the soul, when once it leaves the physical body, never returns again to any physical body, but continues in the Spirit World to exist as a soul with a body of spirit form and substance.  No spirit has ever experienced the sensation of becoming reincarnated.  This is the Truth that I wished to tell you, that the soul, when once it leaves the physical body, never again finds its habitation in another, or the same physical body.  Forever thereafter occupies the spirit body and that in the Spirit World only.

    When a mortal dies, Earth, so far as being the home of that mortal again in Earthly body, becomes a thing of the past.  It is a mere way station, which has been left behind, and will never again appear as a stopping place on the spirit's line of progression.

    I thought it might do good for me to write this tonight, for it is the information from a spirit, who long years ago lived on Earth and believed in this Doctrine of Reincarnation.  Who during all the long years of its Spirit Life has learned and experienced the Truth; that reincarnation is a fable and has no real existence.

    No, the soul never retraces its steps or its method of existence, for it never goes back from the spirit to mortal.

    I know that on the Earth today, there are thousands of mortals, who believe in this Doctrine of Reincarnation.  Many thousands more have died in that belief.  But they live and die in that belief.  Only when the Truth comes to them, do they realize that their belief was an erroneous one, and that they will never reach Nirvana by retracing their course of Life through the physical body.

The soul never dies, but always lives.  Whenever its position is such as to justify progression, it progresses.

    I live in the sixth sphere.  I am considered to be a very exalted spirit in my intellectual acquirements and in my condition of freedom from sin and errors, which belonged to me on Earth, and which belongs to every mortal.  My happiness is very great.  My home and surroundings are beautiful.  This sphere is a wonderful place, not only because of the surroundings and homes of the inhabitants, but because of the great mental and moral development of those who live in that sphere.  No spirit who has not that development can live in this sphere because of its unfitness.  Male and female spirits enjoy this wonderful development and their intercourse in the intellectual things that exist in this sphere is free and frequent.  The interchange of thoughts brings much happiness and satisfaction.

    We do not know of any spheres beyond the sixth.  Although we have heard, it rumored that there are other spheres.  We give little credence to these rumors, because none of us, I mean the inhabitants of this sphere, has ever found a higher one, and many of us live in the highest planes of this sphere.

No, I have nothing else to write tonight.

    Well, I, of course, cannot say that is not True.  I do say that you astonish me beyond all belief, for I cannot imagine that any spirit can make higher progress than we have made.

    Well, what you tell me surprises me.  I would like to investigate and discover the Truth of this matter.  I do not know how to commence such investigation, or where to start.  Is it possible that you can show me the way in which I can commence this investigation?

    I have done as you suggested.  I do see some wonderfully beautiful spirits.  They seem to be so very happy, too, and interested in you.  One says she is your grandmother.  She seems to excel the others in her beauty and brightness.  She says she is very willing to start me in my investigation, and herself to tell me the great secret of the Great Progression that you speak of, and if I will accompany her, she will commence at once.

    While I write, there comes another beautiful spirit and says that she formerly lived in the Sixth Sphere, and lived there many thousands of years before I lived on Earth.  She says that she was an Egyptian, and that her name was Saleeba, and that now she is an inhabitant of the Third Sphere, in order to prepare herself for the Great Progression that she will make to spheres high above the Sixth Sphere.  She tells me that after I have conversed with your grandmother, she will be pleased to talk to me and tell me her experience.  I will be with her you may rest assured.

    All this is so wonderful to me that I hardly know what to think or do.  I will try to find the Truth of it, if it can be found.

    So, as I have written you a long time, expecting to enlighten you, and not be enlightened myself.  I am now so anxious for that enlightenment.  I will say that I am glad I came to you, and Goodnight, Saelish.

I am here, Your own True and Loving Helen.
    Well, sweetheart, you have been much interested in the book you were reading.  There are some wonderful statements contained in it.  Which, as you must see, are fables.  For never did the things related happen.
    There are in the Spirit World, a great number of spirits who believe in and worship Buddha, and who are satisfied in their beliefs and their manner of living and the places in which they live.
    None of them are in the Celestial Heavens, but are in several spheres of the Spirit World, according to the development of their Moral Natures and their Natural Loves.
    I have never seen the founder of this sect.  I am informed that he is in the Sixth Sphere, and is a very bright spirit and pure, and still engaged in teaching his doctrines.  Of course, he has changed in some of his doctrines, notably the doctrine of Reincarnation.  For all the spirits of his followers on Earth remain in the Spirit World, and never become reincarnated.
    Well, I do not know whether we can have him come and write or not, but we will make the effort sometime in order that he may tell you himself of his present beliefs and condition of bliss.
    Well, you will be able to do that and it may have some effect.  You have so many other things to do at this time, that I do not think we will have him come very soon.
Your own True and Loving, Helen.

I am here, Goliath.
    I have been present for some time.  I have listened to your conversations on the various sects who are expecting a great teacher, and others who look for a reincarnation.  If it were not so serious to the Welfare of Humankind, it would be very humorous.  But the matter is too serious to deal with in a humorous vein.  I will say a few words as to the utter falsity of both of these beliefs.
    There will appear no such great teacher as is expected.  Of course, many may appear on Earth, claiming to be such a teacher.  They may declare some Moral Truth that may be beneficial to humankind.  These teachings will not be such, as these people may expect a great teacher to make known.  The result will be that if the World had to depend on such teachings, it would be very little, if any, better than it now is.  For there is only One Course of Truth, and in order for any great teacher to teach such Truths, they necessarily will have to have a Knowledge of such Truths.  Here, I want to say that there is only one means of learning such Truths, and that is; through the help of Jesus Christ and his followers, who Know these Truths, and the Holy Spirit, that speaks to all humans, if they will open their souls to its Silent Voice of Truth and Love.
    So I say that these people who are expecting some earthly teacher to arise and come to them with a Knowledge of Truth will be greatly disappointed.  For, it is impossible that any human will ever come in some mysterious and godlike way, be endowed with this Knowledge.  The souls of these people are longing for the Truth, and not having a knowledge as to how it may come about, are willing to conjure up in their minds some being that may possibly burst on the World and enlighten them in those Truths for which their souls are longing and wishing.  No, they will never in All Time and Eternity, learn what they so anxiously desire, from any great teacher, of the kind that I have named, and they expect.
    As to the others who are equally misguided, and who believe that their salvation, or future condition of happiness and perfection, depends on reincarnation, I must say; that they are now, and will be, disappointed, just as will the first class that I mention.  This Doctrine of Reincarnation is a false and misleading one.  Will never enable any human, or spirit, to live the second time in the body as a mortal.
    It is so utterly absurd, that it is astonishing that humans can believe that such a thing can be.  Besides, if they will only think seriously for a moment, they will realize that there is no necessity for human to live again on Earth.  The surroundings and things that prevent the progress of human to Perfection, are so detrimental to their progress, that it would not assist them one particle in acquiring such progress to have to undergo a second incarnation.
    When the spirit leaves the body, its possibility for progress then becomes greater than ever existed on Earth.  Though some spirits, for long ages do not take advantage of such possibilities, yet they exist.  Earth Life can afford no means, equal to them, for making this progress towards what these people call Nirvana.  Some day the Truths will become so plain and easily understood by mortals, that these beliefs will, of their own weight, and I mean weight that absurdity gives them, that they will cease to exist.
    You may be somewhat surprised that I write on these subjects, but you must know that I am an Angel of the Celestial Heavens and have a work to do.  Being present, I requested the privilege of writing.  It being granted, I did so.  I know what Divine Love means, and what progress means, as I came from the lowest hells and found no necessity for Reincarnation.  You may be assured that if my condition of suffering and darkness could have been gotten rid of by Reincarnation, I would have Reincarnated centuries before I was relieved of my awful condition.  I have met spirits who said they believed in the doctrine, but strange to say, none of them had ever been able to Reincarnate, though they persisted that they felt assured that other spirits had who were just in that condition that permitted it, and that they would when they became in a condition that was suitable.  I have noticed that these spirits never got in that suitable condition, but progressed in the Spirit World, and now say that they were mistaken, and are thankful that there is no such thing as Reincarnation.
?
    Well, the race will die, and a new race will arise on Earth.  In the new race there will not be any who have been reincarnated.  I want to stop now, so thanking you, I will say good night.
    Your brother in Christ, Goliath, whom humans may think a mythical person, but who really lived and died, even though, he may not have been killed by a slingshot of David, as the Bible relates.  Yet a real living mortal who followed the ways of other mortals in sinning, dying, and gone through hell, and is at last, Redeemed.

I am here, Helen.

    Well dear, you have had a somewhat astonishing letter tonight.  I mean astonishing when you come to consider the person who wrote it.  It is True, it was really Goliath who wrote.  I may say this because I have met him before, and besides the higher, and even some evil spirits have told me that he is.

    Well, he made a very strong argument.  I hope that it may be very effective some day in convincing humans of its Truth.  I could have written on the same subject based on the knowledge that I have, but I would have said, and what I should have said, would have been just as True in a few words.  Thus, there will be no such great teacher as these people expect, and there is no such thing as reincarnation, once a spirit, always a spirit.  I must not take the time to write on this matter.

    I am very glad that you are feeling better tonight, as it makes me able to get closer to you, and more in rapport with your condition.  I am very happy, and want you to be.  I am praying for you and asking the Father to Bless you with a greater inflowing of His Divine Love.

    Mary wants me to say a few words to the Doctor for her.  She says she is happy too, and sees that the Doctor is.  That she is progressing more and more.  That even her progress does not keep her from being with him quite often.  She has asked me to let her write a long letter to the Dr.  I have promised, and very soon, she will do so.  She says she will go home with him tonight and stay with him until he goes to sleep, and will then try to take his spirit with her and give him a taste of the happiness of a sphere that he has never been in.  I will help her.  I believe that she will succeed.  Tell him to prepare for the experiment.  If we succeed, and we promise to bring him back to his body, which will be the only reincarnation that he will ever experience.  So with our Love to you both, I will say goodnight.  God Bless you both, your own True and Loving, Helen.
