RESTORATION TO CONDITION OF PERFECTION

As has been written you, the human soul, as it was Created and placed in human, was, at the time of its Creation in human form, or rather at the time it found a habitation in that form, made Pure and Perfect, in complete Harmony with the Laws of God controlling its existence.

April 27th, 1916

I am here, Luke.

I have not written you for some time. I desire to write a short message tonight on the subject of: What is necessary for a human to do, to recover the purity of soul and Love that was possessed by the First Parents, I mean as a human possessing the Natural Love only.

Well, in the first place, they should realize that they are a Perfect Creature of God. That their sins and diseases are merely the results of their own (inharmonious) thoughts, and of qualities that have come to them down the long ages of their ancestors living on Earth.

They need not suppose that these sins and desires are inherent in, or a part of, their Creation, for they are not. But merely accretions that fastened themselves upon them by reason of the thoughts they have had, and the resultant course of Life they have led. When they change these thoughts, which will necessarily bring about a change in their manner of living, they will find that they can progress toward the condition of the Perfect Human.

I know that many of these thoughts are so deep seated that they seem almost a part of their very nature, and can only be eradicated by the death of their physical body. This is not True. For human, even while in the full vigor of their Humanhood, and possessed with all the appetites and desires, which arise from the perverted indulgence of these desires, either on the part of themselves, or on the part of those from whom they are said to have inherited them, may relieve themselves from these (perverted) desires, and become a human having only the thoughts of good and desires for those things, which are in Harmony with the Nature of their Perfect Creation.

This I know seems to human a thing impossible. So thinking, they do not try to accomplish what I say they may accomplish, and to become free from these sins and unnatural appetites. The almost universal belief in "Original Sin" has caused humans, all along the ages, to think that such a task is hopeless. That they are thinking and acting only in accordance with the appetites and desires that God has implanted in their natures, and that so long as they indulge these thoughts and desires in a moderate, or respectable, way, they are not doing that which is contrary to God's Will, or to their own Nature.

This "Doctrine of Original Sin" is a mocking, damnable lie! The sooner human realizes the fact that it is a fraud and deceit, the sooner they will be able to get rid of those things, which have placed them in their present condition, and held them there bound, as it were, hand and foot. This supine submission to this old and ever recurring belief is the great thing that prevents human from starting to progress towards the attainment of that condition, which is purity, health, and the Perfect Human.

Human must decline, and no longer submit to this belief! Which, I am sorry to say, is fostered by the teachings of the orthodox churches, in order to sustain and make forcible their creeds and dogmas, and to show to human that they are not to be considered worthy of the Mercy of the Father, and cannot possibly obtain that Mercy, and be relieved from the great wrath and punishment that God has prepared for them (God has no "great wrath" towards His Children, ed.), unless they believe and acknowledges that they are a dependent and lost human, unworthy of the Father's Favor, or the help of the instrumentalities, which the Father uses to assist humans in regaining their Lost Estate (of Perfection).

If humans would only think, and in thinking, realize that, they are Dear Children of The Father, His Highest Creation. That He prizes them above All His Creatures, and wants them to know that they are beings of such wonderful qualities and possibilities, they would then have come to them an overpowering and convincing sense of what they really are, and of how necessary it is for them to assert their rights as such Exalted Creatures of The Father. Would realize that they are masters of sin and disease, for they are the creators of the same. When they shall assume such position and become possessed of such Knowledge, they will find that they have a wonderful power, as Creatures of The Father, they will realize that they are masters of sin that must be gotten rid of.

Let humans for a moment think again, and thinking, know that God does not desire His Greatest Creature to become, or be, less than the Perfect Being that He Created. He is not flattered, nor does He have any pleasure in the thought, that human is degraded and fallen from their Perfect Creation, and that in order to rise again they, human, must believe that God may show His Power in rescuing them from their low and hopeless condition. No, God is not pleased by human assuming such an attitude, nor does He need any such helpless condition of human that He may show His Power, or gratify, what the teachings of these orthodox imply, His vanity, which He has not.

In this particular human must work out his or her own salvation. It will be a difficult task, so long as they continue to believe, and act upon that belief, that they are a creature of original sin. That as God in the beginning failed to make them the Perfect Human, so now, only God can remedy what He failed to provide in His Creation, and that human of them self can do nothing. That all they have to do is to wait until God is pleased to recreate them, and thereby take from their very nature this great curse of the original sin. See the great fatality of such belief! How it tends to make human a slave of, and obedient to, this false belief in this blight of original sin.

God gave to human, in their creation, the great power of will. The right to its unlimited exercise, subject only to the penalties of a wrongful exercise (in violation of the Spiritual Laws of Love and Harmony). By the exercise of that will, human created sin and disease, and became depraved and fallen, the possessor of false beliefs, as to the Perfection of their nature. By the exercise of that will, human, them self, must redeem them self from this condition of depravity and false belief, and again become the Perfect Human, God's Wholly Perfect Creation.

As human was in the beginning the Perfect son (and daughter) of God, and by their own will, created their own and only devil, so must they, by this same power, kill this devil and again become the Perfect son (and daughter). They must believe, declare, and show the sincerity of their beliefs by their acts and living, that they are a Perfect son (or daughter) of the Father, needing no new creation.

This I have written to show what human was in the beginning, and what they really and truly are now; although covered with sin, disease and false beliefs.

To recover this Lost Estate, or better, condition, they will find that by searching for, learning, and acting upon, many of the moral precepts of the Bible, and of other so-called sacred writings, they will be greatly helped and strengthened in their efforts. Above all, let them understand and believe, with the certainty of knowledge, that they are God's Highest and Most Perfect Creation.

Now, from what I have said, it must not be inferred that human is their own god, and has not, and needs not, any Tender, Loving Father, who is interested in them, and always ready to help them, whenever they earnestly and in sincerity asks the Help of that Father. Always, is human dependent upon God! That dependence is not recognized by God, unless human first recognizes it, and by their longings and thoughts shows to the Father that they need His Help.

This may seem unbelievable, but human was created so independent in their great will power, as regards the dualities of thought and desire, both spiritual and material, that God never interferes to compel. The Principle involved in "WHOSOEVER WILL", must be exercised by human before the Father will intervene. When it is exercised He does Intervene, and never refuses, or fails to answer, the call of the sincere cry of human for Help.

God does help human in their recovery from the state of false beliefs and degradation that I have mentioned. His Love overshadows all humans. His Instrumentalities are always ready and waiting to answer the call upon Him for His Help in assisting them out of their condition of sin, disease and false beliefs. For, as I have elsewhere written you, in God's Universe there must be Perfect Harmony. The present human, so far as their own creation of inharmony is concerned, is not in that Harmony. Ultimately, human, all humans will become again the Perfect Human.

Of course, you will understand that what I have written, does not apply to the Redeemed sons and daughters of God who receive the New Birth and become partakers of the Divine Nature of The Father, for in their case the Perfect Human is absorbed into the Divine Angel.

I have written longer than I intended, but as the theme is an interesting as well as important one, I thought it best to write just as I have.

I will now say goodnight, and leave with you my Love and blessings, your brother in Christ, Luke.

June 11th, 1916
I am here, Jesus.
I come tonight according to promise, and desire to write my message, if you are in condition to receive it.
I wish to write on the subject of: What is the correct way in which a human should live the Life on Earth, in order to receive the cleansing from their sins, so that they can acquire the Purification of their Natural Love?

Heretofore, I have conferred in my messages almost exclusively to the Redemption of the soul by means of the Divine Love, so that the Redeemed one may become an inhabitant of the Celestial Spheres. Now I will deal only with that cleansing that will fit them to live in the highest and purest of the Spiritual Spheres, where they can have the happiness, which a Pure Natural Love will bring to them.

As has been written you, the soul, as it was Created and placed in human, was at the time of its Creation in human form, or rather at the time it found a habitation in that form, made Pure and Perfect, in complete Harmony with the Laws of God controlling its existence. That; only after the fall, by reason of human's own indulgence in the animal (material)appetites and desires, did it lose its purity and become contaminated by sin and error. That ever since that time it has remained in such condition of impurity and alienship to God and His Laws.

This impurity has been the lot of each succeeding generation of humans, and has never been eradicated from humans souls, notwithstanding all the Moral instructions that humans have acquired. Still there have been wonderful improvements in the purity of human's thoughts, as well as in their actions and habits of Life, since the turning from the bottom of their degeneracy.

Now there are several ways in which human may succeed in acquiring that Purity that existed at the time of the Creation of the First Humans. In time, this consummation will be accomplished. In these ways human themselves will have to be an important working factor. Human is the Highest of God's Creation. With powers and will possessed by no other of God's Creatures. There is no power in Heaven, or Earth, that can, or will, redeem human from this condition of sin and error, unless human will cooperate in the work, and that to the greatest and best of their ability.

These sins that I speak of, were created by human's thoughts and desires, carried into acts and deeds by the operation of their will; they must be removed by the same processes. Where the evil thoughts and deeds created that which contaminated and defiled the qualities of their soul, these evil thoughts and deeds must be supplanted, by good thoughts and deeds, in order that the defilement may be removed and the soul purified. Evil thoughts are born of suggestions, both inward and outward. Also of the influences of spirits of evil who establish a rapport with the mortals.

Let us postpone the writing for our rapport is not just right. I will come soon and finish. With all my Love I am your brother and friend, Jesus.

July 9th, 1916
I am here, Jesus.
I come today to tell you that I am pleased with you in your efforts to find the Truth of what we have taught, as to God and of the relation of human to Him.

I have been with you in your reading of several days past, and have observed the effect upon you of the contrast between the beliefs and teachings of humans, as you have read them, and the Teachings of Truth that we have revealed to you in our messages. While these writings that you have been reading have in them some things of Truth, yet there are many things that are wholly untrue, and the mere results of speculation.
Today, if you feel in condition, I will instruct you as to some of the errors and deficiencies of Christian Science, and the want of the True comprehension of its founder of the Realities of Being.

She writes and teaches that there is nothing real in sin, error, and disease, that their apparent existence is wholly due to the mortal mind, and that when this mind denies the existence of these things, they will no longer exist. Well, in this assertion, there is a large grain of Truth, but in order to understand and apply this Truth, more than a mere denial of their existence, and must be taught and believed by human.

It is True that God never Created anything of evil, or that, which is not in Harmony with His Nature and Essence, which are only Good, and that to ascribe the existence of these evils and discords to God is erroneous and blasphemous. The fact remains that these things exist. The mere denial of their existence does not remedy the harmful results that flow from such existence.

Human suffers from evil, error, and disease; and has always so suffered since the fall from their State of Perfection, and always will suffer, in consequence of there being in their consciousness, these things of Reality. The mere calling them the result of "Mortal mind", will not explain their existence, or furnish a remedy by which they may be gotten rid of.

First arises the necessity of understanding how, and by what means these things came into existence. Then, it will become easier for the understanding of the means, and the way, by which they may be eliminated from the Life and apparent nature of humankind.

As I have already told you, these things, foreign to God's Creation, were created by humans alone, in the excessive and unlawful exercise of their will power in following out the suggestions and desires of their animal appetites, which unduly asserted themselves when human lost a part of their Spirituality by their disobedience.

Their creation was the result of something more than, what the founder of that Science calls the "mortal mind". For the mind is only a part of Human Being. While the faculties of the mind must be used in the operation of all the powers and qualities of human, yet the mind is not the originator of all their desires, appetites, and emotions. The emotional nature, and affections, are distinct from the mere mind, or the intellectual faculties, and as regards sin and error, are generally the creators of the same. Although, the mind, may, and does, foster and increase these things so created.

Then human must understand that these excrescences to their Perfect Creation are Real and existing, and result in their own damnation and alienation from the Good, and are antagonistic to their Original and Natural Condition of Perfection, and that they cannot be swept out of existence by the mere assertion that they are not real. Again, human must understand that they are their creatures, primarily of the inordinate exercise of the animal appetites and desires, and not of the exercise of the mind, to be eradicated by the same process in reverse order as was used in their creation.

Of course, it must not be lost sight of, that, in using this process, the faculties of the mind must be brought into operation, just as they were in the creation of these existences. The great fact to be remembered in this process is that these things are Real, and not things of the mere imagination, which is the equivalent of the founder's "mortal mind".

Now, when human grasps the meaning, as thus explained, of what these things really are, and how they came into being, then they will the more readily comprehend the way, or the means, by which they are to be destroyed, and never again permitted to become a part of their Being. For while they do not, by nature, belong to their Being, yet by reason of their being the creator of them, they are, so far as their consciousness is concerned, together with all the results flowing there from, a part of their being; and that part which keeps them in discord with the Laws controlling their own existence. The Purity of their True Being (the soul) is always besmirched by the impurities of their own artificial being (the mind). And always will be, until they eliminate these impurities, which, as to them and to their fellow human, are real, persistent existences.

The will, however, is the Great Force that must be used in the destruction of these excrescences. As this will power in human is free and untrammeled, and in its operations follows the suggestions and desires of the appetites, both animal, and Spiritual, of human, it therefore becomes apparent that these appetites and desires must first be controlled and directed in that direction that will cause the will to be exercised in such a manner as to lead the thoughts and deeds towards the realization of the desires and appetites in Harmony with God's Laws. As sin and evil are not the creatures of the Spiritual Desires (of the soul), but wholly of the animal (mind), then to eradicate them from human's being, these things of evil and sin, the efforts of human must be directed towards the supplanting of the unlawful and inharmonious animal desires and appetites, by appetites and desires arising from the same source that is in Harmony with the Laws creating this very source.

Human was Created by God with animal appetites, just as they were Created with Spiritual Aspirations. The one is just as Harmonious with the Laws of their Creation as the other. The loss of the Spiritual aspiration, or the perversion of the animal appetites, similarly causes human to become out of Harmony with these Laws. So that human, in order to become free from these foreign parts of their being, must strive, not by a denial of their Reality, but by the effort to supplant them, to recreate, as it were, in themselves the animal appetites that are consistent and in Harmony, with those which were theirs when they were made the Perfect Human. In other words; to destroy the beings of their own creation, and possess only those of the Creation of God.

Of course, in this effort, they will have to use their mind, mortal or otherwise. In addition, they will also have to exercise the faculties of their Emotional and Affectional Nature, which are not of the mind but the soul. Mere negation, or belief, will not be sufficient, but desires and cravings for these things which engender sin must be supplanted by desires and craving for those things which are in Harmony with their Creation.
I repeat, the teachings that sin, error, and disease are not real, and are no part of human's being, as they now exist and lives, is erroneous. When not understood, harmful, and not sufficient to bring about the regeneration of human.

In one sense, it is True that sin, error, and disease are not real, but that means; that so far as God's Creation of Human is concerned they have no existence, for He Created only that which was Good and in Harmony with His Perfect Laws. But as human is a creator, as well as a creature, and as these things are the creatures of human alone, then so far as the being of human is involved, they have a reality which will persist, until their creator, human, has destroyed them.

I am pleased that you gave me the opportunity to write today, and am also glad to find you in good condition.
Your friend and brother, Jesus.

March 8th, 1917
I am here St. James, Apostle of Jesus.

I come to write my message, as Elias told you I would.
Well, I desire to write on the subject of: What is the Great Truth respecting the way that the destruction of the powers of temptation that arises from the perverted human may be Restored to the Condition of Perfection, which the First Parents possessed before their fall.

You will understand that this does not involve any consideration of the operation of the Divine Love upon the soul, but exclusively the consideration of the method by which the soul may be so purified by the operations of the actions and the will power, in conjunction with, or influenced by, the workings of the powers of the spirits who have been relieved of the sins and errors that followed The Fall.

When humans were Created, as has been told you, they were Created Perfect. Every quality, function, and attribute that was a part of them was so Created, so that Harmony, the most exact with the Laws of God that governed their existence, became theirs. No discord of any kind was in existence to mar that Harmony.

As the Spiritual Nature of Human became subordinated to the appetites, passions, and fleshly desires of humans, sin, error, and inharmony appeared and increased, until human became degraded, and desired only those things that would satisfy these sinful desires.
So this degeneracy continued, until human reached their lowest degradation, and the turning point came in their career. Then, they commenced slowly and gradually to rise from this condition of depravity, until at last, they arrived at the stage of their condition of inharmony with these Laws of their Creation that now exists. Their destiny is to a complete Restoration to the Perfection of their First Estate. This improvement and gradual restoration depend upon two causes: One, human themselves, by their own thoughts, and reformation of the animal (material) appetites and desires. The other, the influence and guidance of spirits, who, in the Spirit World have arrived at that Perfection, or are progressing thereto, and are in a condition of Harmony with these Laws superior to that of mortals, to whom they lend their influence and help.

Humans, in their degeneracy, or progression, are controlled very largely by their thoughts. These thoughts are created by the operations of their desires, which on the other hand, cause these desires to increase. But back of the thoughts are always these appetites and passions, existing in their abnormal conditions. They constitute the basic or moving cause, of desire, thought, and action. So that; in order for humans to become relieved of their abnormal desires, thoughts, and acts, the cause thereof must be eradicated, and the seat, or function of the cause, be brought into Harmony with Laws of the Creation of these functions, or seats of emanation.

Strange as it may seem to you, and by a process that is contrary to the ordinary workings of the Law of Cause and Effect, humans must first deal with the effects, in order to control the cause, and thereby, destroy the effects. This may seem to be an impossible operation, and contrary to the Laws that govern the Material World and its ordinary functioning. Yet it is possible. The only possible way in which the causes may be destroyed. Notwithstanding the fact that the animal, or material, part of human has had the ascendancy for all these centuries, over the Spiritual Part of their Nature, yet that Spiritual part exists, and has always existed, waiting to assert itself whenever the opportunity occurred. This assertion was prevented, or suppressed, only by reason of the want of opportunity.

The Spiritual may be said to be the Natural State. I mean, that in that state, the animal (material) is subordinate to the Spiritual and is controlled by it. Human's True Tendency is to exist and act in accord with that Natural State. Then, such being the fact, it may be asked, why, or in what manner, did this Natural Spiritual Condition become, in the manifestation of what human's dominant dualities are supposed to be, subordinated to the control of the inordinate exercise of this animal (material) side of their Nature, which resulted in the sin and unhappiness that so many of the teachers and philosophers proclaim to be their natural condition?

Well tonight, I will not attempt to explain the manner in which this inversion, or perversion, of Human's True Nature took place. I will at some future time, write on this subject.

The question now is: How can human obtain the restitution to their Created Perfection?

As I have said, this can only be accomplished by making the perfect adjustment of the two apparent conflicting sides of their Nature.

First, they must recognize that they have the Spiritual Nature, as well as the animal (material). That there is such a relationship and coordination between the two, that the supremacy of the latter disturbs the Harmony of their Perfection as human. The Spiritual having been subordinated, the remedy is, to remove the subordination and restore the equality. The Spiritual, notwithstanding its condition, is always fighting to regain its place in the True Adjustment, and will always answer the call of human, to come to their rescue. The only thing that has prevented that response is that human has not called for it to assert itself.

Well I am sorry, but we had better postpone until later. Try to get in greater rapport. Goodnight, your brother in Christ, St. James.

May 5th, 1917
I am here, Jesus.

I come tonight to write on: The only Way by which humans can reach the Kingdom of God, or, The Way to the Perfect Human.

This is a subject, which many humans and teachers have endeavored to explain to humankind. The ways described have been as varied, and sometimes contradictory, as the thoughts and education of these humans have differed. All have sought to base their teachings and conclusions on the Bible. I, of course, mean those who profess to be christians. As to other teachers and reformers, as they have been called, their teachings are based on the doctrines of the various sects to which they have belonged, or professed allegiance.

The Kingdom of God is more peculiarly a phrase that is found in, and belongs to, the christian bible, and to some extent in the Hebrew scriptures.

In considering the subject of this message, it is first important to understand what is meant by, "The Kingdom of God". Some understand, or conceive, it to be a Kingdom on Earth, in which the Will and Laws of God will be followed and obeyed by humans in the Mortal Life. Others understand it to be that Kingdom of God which now exists, and will continue to exist, in Perfection in the Spirit World. Some few, that Kingdom, which will find its home, or place of existence, in the Celestial Spheres.

Now, the Way to each of these Kingdoms is not the same. Although in pursuing the Way to one, that the Celestial Kingdom, the Way to the others must necessarily be followed. In other words, they who follows the way to the Celestial Kingdom, pursues that course, which in its pursuit, will cause them to do those things, and obey those Laws of God that are necessary to establish the Kingdoms on Earth, and in the Spirit World. They, who pursue only The Way that leads to the establishment of the Kingdom on Earth and in the Spirit World, cannot possibly become an inhabitant of the Celestial Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God on Earth, or in the Spirit World, may be obtained by human, or spirit, by obeying the Will of God, in those essentials that will work a Purification of their Natural Love, and cause that coming into Harmony with His Laws which affect and control human as mere human. That is, that will restore human to the Condition of Perfection that existed before The Fall of the First Parents. Many of my teachings, when on Earth, of which there are preserved a number in the Bible, were intended to instruct humans into that Way of Life that would develop their Moral Qualities, and free them from the taint and destructiveness of sin, in which they were then, and are now, living. By the observance of my teachings and sincere obedience to these Moral Precepts, human will lose those things that belong to their (perverted) appetites, passions, evil thoughts, and desires, and realize that in their places will come a Purer Love and more Spiritual Desires and Thoughts, which lead to a cleansing of their heart and soul. Which means; a living and thinking in Harmony with the Will and Laws of God. For God is All Good. All His Laws require that human shall become good in order that this Kingdom in the Spirit World shall be established.

Naturally, and I mean, according to their Creation, human is Good. Not the depraved creature, that for so many centuries the teachings and doctrines of the church have declared them to be. When they shall arrive at that State of Goodness that was theirs in the beginning, they will merely have rid themselves, of those contaminating appetites, thoughts, and desires that made them the sinful and inharmonious being that they now are.

So, from this, you will see that the work of human, in order to enable the Kingdom to become established on Earth, is largely a work of renunciation. This Truth was taught by prophets and teachers prior to the time of my coming to Earth and teaching The Way to the Celestial Kingdom. The same Truth applies to the spirits that shall make up and establish the Kingdom in the Spirit World.

In these Kingdoms of the Purification and regaining of the Perfected Natural Love, there will be nothing of the Divine Nature of the Father. Except, as may be generally said, all the objects of His Creation, by reason of being such objects, may partake of the image of the Divine. But this is not the Divine. The Divine, in its True Sense, is that which partakes of the Very Essence and Nature of God. Not that which is merely the object of His Creation.

Human, in body, soul, and spirit body, is only a Creation of God. As to the soul, an image of its Creator. This Creation, was not made of any, the least part of the Essence or Substance of God. This Creation can, if it so please the Father, in its composite and coordinated existence, be utterly destroyed and reduced to the elements of which it was Created, without in the smallest degree affecting the True Substance or Nature of God. So you will see that in Truth there is in, or of, human, nothing of the Divine. Hence, when the Kingdom of God shall be established on Earth, or in the Spirit World, there will be therein, nothing of the Divine. Only the existence of the Perfect Creatures, living and thinking in Harmony with the Laws of God, which control their Creation and existence.

So that the Way in which these two Kingdoms of the non-divine can be established is; by human pursuing that course of thinking, and living, that will enable them to renounce and get rid of those things foreign to their True Nature, which prevent them from coming again into the exact Harmony with the Will of God, as expressed and made obligatory by the Law of Human's Creation. The observance of the Moral Law will enable humans to accomplish this end. The Natural Love with which human was endowed, as the Perfect Human, enables them, as it becomes Purified and more Harmonious, to Love God, and to Love their fellow-human as themselves. For this Natural Love, is one that in its Perfection and Nature is Universal. In its exercise, every human is their neighbor's brother and sister.

The progressive qualities of this Natural Love, which every human may obtain, are Truly and wonderfully set forth by Peter in one of his epistles, as contained in the Bible (II Peter, Chapter 1, Verses 5, 6, 7). If humans will seek these successive steps in acquiring the purifying development of this Natural Love, they will obtain the great object sought for.

As I have written, the Bible contains many of my teachings, which if followed, will lead to this end. Humans will realize the Kingdom of God on Earth. Here let me correct one mistaken belief, or idea, that has so long prevailed among humankind, and which, in its results, has delayed the coming of the Kingdom on Earth. The correction is; that God, by His mere fiat, or irrespective of the desires and workings of humans souls, will not establish this Kingdom. Its establishment depends upon humans, themselves. Until their Loves become, and they become, in Harmony with God's Will, this Kingdom will never be established.

I know that it is believed, taught, and emphasized, and humans place all their hopes and expectations of a heaven of bliss, on the statement that I will at sometime come in the clouds of heaven with a great shout, to Earth, and by the power which they believe exists in me, establish the Kingdom of God. A kind of kingdom in which I will be the king and rule supreme, and receive as my subjects those who believe in and worship me, and send those who do not into eternal damnation and outer darkness.

Well, this is pitiable, untrue and all erroneous. This kingdom will never be established in this way. For only human, themselves can call into existence this kingdom. Only by becoming the Pure Perfect Human that existed when God's Earthly Kingdom had, at Human's Creation, its existence. Human alone, brought sin into the World. Human must themselves destroy sin. Then Harmony with the Father's Will, will be restored, and also this kingdom.

From what I have written, it must not for a moment, or in the slightest degree, be inferred even, that God is not taking, and will not take, any part in the Reestablishment of this Kingdom. It is a fact that He is working, through His Angels, upon the souls and thoughts of humans to bring this Kingdom on Earth. He will not force its establishment. It must come voluntarily on the part of humans.

When He Created human, He gave them a free will, the most wonderful of the natural gifts to human. He will not, by the exercise of His Power, arbitrarily control the direction of that will. As to it, leaves human supreme. Of course, while this is so, yet if human, in such exercise contravenes the Laws of God, human must suffer the consequences (penalties for violation of the Laws of Love and Harmony), for He never changes, or sets aside, His Laws. Human may exercise their free will as they desire, and as their thoughts and appetites may influence them to do, but the freedom of exercise does not prevent the imposition of the penalties that the Laws prescribe when they are violated. Thus you see there is freedom without limitation. But every inharmonious exercise of that freedom must invite the infliction of that, which necessarily follows the violation of (Law of) Harmony.

God wants, and is Patiently waiting, for the Love of human. Is always the Loving Father, who delights not in the suffering of His Creatures. He wants their Love to come voluntarily. Without constraint, or fear of punishment, or hope of reward, except that reward which must necessarily follow the blending of God's Love and the love of human.

Then I say; the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is not the Divine Kingdom. Has not in it that which is necessarily Divine, except the Love of God to His Creatures to Bless, and make them happy. His Essence and Substance are not conferred upon them. For if they were, humans would not remain in the Kingdom of Earth, but would, to a degree, be in the Celestial Heavens, even while on Earth, and as I know some humans, while still mortals, are in this Divine Heaven.
Now, what I have said with reference to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, applies with equal Truth to the Kingdom of God in the Spirit World. There the inhabitants are merely the spirits of humans, after they have surrendered their physical bodies, and become Purified in their Natural Love and in Harmony with the Will and Laws of God controlling their existence as Perfect Humans.

While the Kingdom of God has not yet been established on Earth, it has been in the Spirit World, for in the Highest Sphere of that World, the souls of humans have become Purified. Harmony has been restored. The souls of humans enjoy the supreme happiness that was bestowed upon them at the time of their First Creation, which God pronounced Very Good. Sometime you will have described to you the bliss and wonderful happiness of that Kingdom. I will not say that this is beyond all conception of humans, and was established not by the mere Power and Will of God, but by the exercise of the will of humans, after they became spirits, in renouncing evil and sin, and having their thoughts, desires, and soul in its Natural Love, Purified and made Harmonious. Here I must say; that all humans, who have ever lived, or who shall ever live, will, at sometime live in this Kingdom of God in the Spirit World, or in the Kingdom of the Celestial Spheres. But the large majority will find their homes in the former Kingdom.

The hells and dark places will be emptied of their inhabitants and abolished forever. Surprising as it may seem to mortals, not by the Fiat of God, but the exercise of humans will, and desires and longings for the attainment of the Purification of their Natural Love, and by their reaching the goal of their aspirations. God will be with them in their efforts. His Angels will do His Will, in helping mortals and spirits along this way to the Spiritual Kingdom.

Then how important it is that mortals should understand and realize, the great work that they must do in establishing the Kingdom on Earth, and the Kingdom in the Spirit World. And, not rest supinely in the mere intellectual belief that God will in His Own Way, and at His Own Time, establish this Kingdom. And, that they who believe in God, observe the creeds and doctrines of their churches, perform their duties as church members, will become inhabitants of that kingdom, and in a moment become pure, undefiled, and in Harmony with the Will of God and His Laws. This is a very harmful belief. The Only Way to this Kingdom is the Way of Renunciation and Purification. All the beliefs, ever possessed by humans, that do not lead to this purification of human's souls, will not lead to this Kingdom.

Human, with the Help of the Father, must hew their own destiny. The Father, without the effort of human, will not make for them a destiny that their condition of soul and Love do not entitle them to.

There is a Kingdom, greater, and different, unlike these Kingdoms, of which I have been writing. That is; the Celestial Kingdom of God. Only those, who receive of the Divine Essence, can become inhabitants of this Kingdom. The souls of humans must become Transformed into the Very Nature Divine of God. The Natural Love of human be changed in all its Qualities and Elements into the Divine Love of the Father.

I have written that many of my Moral Teachings are recorded in the Bible. That I came, or rather my acceptance by the Father as His Beloved Son and the reception into my soul of His Divine Love, qualified me to teach The Way to the several Kingdoms. As was said in that book, what was lost by the disobedience of the First Human was restored by the coming of the second. That only means; that by reason of the Knowledge that came to me of Truth, and of the Laws of Harmony that govern God's Universe, I was enabled to teach humans The Way to a return to the Purity and Development of their Souls in Natural Love, that existed before the great loss caused by the disobedience of the First Humans. I was not to bring about this restoration by any great power, or godlike qualities of omniscience, that I might be supposed to possess. Merely, by teaching humans to Love God, and their brothers and sisters. To pursue that course of living and thinking that would necessarily enable them to renounce sin and evil and come into a State of Harmony with the Laws of their Creation.

Now, while I taught these Moral Truths, I also taught the Great Spiritual Truths, that show humans The Way to the Celestial Kingdom. For in my communions with the Father, there came to me, not only the Divine Love, which Transformed my soul into the Substance of the Father, in its Love Qualities, but also the Knowledge by which this Divine Love might be acquired, and The Certain Way to the Celestial Kingdom, even though to a degree while in the flesh.

My spiritual teachings, that show The Way to the Celestial Kingdom, were not so well understood by my hearers. Not even by my intimate disciples. But more so by John. Consequently, were not preserved in the Bible, as were my Moral Teachings. As to the Bible, I mean the original manuscripts, were not written until many years after my death. Even in these manuscripts, not many of my teachings, as to The Way that leads to this Celestial Kingdom, were contained. Afterwards, when these manuscripts were copied, and the copies recopied, these Important Truths were not preserved, scarcely any. Though the fundamental ones, namely: God is Love, and; Except a human be born again they cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, were retained. As time went by, and the recopying continued, fewer and fewer of my precepts were preserved. Humans came to know less and less of these Higher Truths. Consequently, the mere Moral Teachings became better understood. Were used by the teachers and instructors of the masses, to lead humans to a Kingdom of God. In addition to this, these leaders changed even these Moral Truths, and the interpretations of the early writers, in such a way, as to enable these leaders to attain to wealth, power, and control over the common people in their beliefs and observances of worship. The God of Love then, to a large extent, became a god of hatred and wrath, inflicting punishment upon those who dared to disobey those injunctions, that the hierarchy of the church placed upon them, as, the demands and will of god.

These matters have been written upon more fully elsewhere (in my messages to you). I will not further enlarge upon them, will now disclose the True Way that leads to the Kingdom of God in the Celestial Heavens.

Well, we have written a long time tonight. I think it best to postpone my further writing till later. I must say this though, that I am pleased that you are in so much better condition. I feel that now we can proceed more rapidly with our messages.

Remember this that my promises will be fulfilled. You must have Faith. I am with you very often, and Love you, as you know. I will continue to pray to the Father for you. So trust me and be assured that I am helping you in your desire. Goodnight and God Bless you, your brother and friend, Jesus.
