Divine Love Messages from Jesus and Celestials 1915 February

February 15th, 1915

I am here, White Eagle.

    You are much better.  The Master helped you very much last night.  I manipulated you as he directed.  Your digestive organs are now doing their work.  Your prayer to the Father was answered.  He heard you, as Jesus told you he would if you would pray in Faith.  You had the Faith, and the cure came.  So it is with everything in Life, only pray and believe and you will receive the answer.  You are certainly Blessed.  I wonder, as do all of us, at your Faith, but thank God; you are the one that the Master has selected.  You will be in condition soon to do his work as he desires.

    Yes, you are right; He is the only one that can help you in time of trouble.  Only continue in your Faith.  You will realize that he is your Father, and your helper.  Jesus says; that your Faith is wonderful, and that you will be able to do many things that will help humankind.  Only be True to him and you will never be forsaken.

    No, you need not use any more medicine now.  The work is done.  Medicine is no more necessary.

    Well, he (Dr. Stone) may help you some in starting your various muscles and nerves to get into activity, but even his treatment is not necessary now.  When God Heals, He Heals effectively.  No other help is needed.

    You are commencing to get that Great Love in your soul now.  Soon you will be filled.  Then your happiness will be complete.  That is, it will be of such a character, that the worries of Life will not make you unhappy.

    Yes, he (Jesus) was present.  He directed my movements.  He is the all-powerful one.  His knowledge is without limit.  He is so full of Divine Love, that when he tries to impress you, you cannot resist the influence of that Divine Love.  So be more prayerful.  You will become possessed of that Divine Love, to a degree that will make you Love All Humankind, as well as God.  Well, I am telling you what the Master tells us, and he knows.  You had better not eat promiscuously yet.  Give the digestive organs a chance to get back their full strength.

So goodnight, White Eagle.

February 20th, 1915

I am here, your old partner.  (A.G. Riddle)

    I am very happy tonight.  I am glad that you are so much better.  You had a rather hard time of it, and reminded me somewhat of the suffering that I used to undergo when I was on Earth, and in Washington.

    Well you are cured of the indigestion.  The gas accumulates at times and makes it uncomfortable for you.  That will pass away before long.  Your digestive organs will soon be in perfect working order.

?

    The Faith that you had, in your prayers, and the work of the Master.  You were actually cured by your Faith.  The work done was only a means used to impress upon you with fact that God had answered your prayer.  I do not see how you could have had such Faith as you evidenced at the time, but it is a fact that you had it.  As a consequence, the cure was effected.

    When you prayed as you did, I was so very much impressed with your Faith that I expected to see your prayers answered as they were.  Jesus helped you to pray, he also helped your Faith.  He also did the work that you observed, through the power which he possesses, and used White Eagle to manipulate your intestines and liver.  It was a revelation to me I must confess, and caused me to believe more than ever in prayer and Faith.

    I am now so very happy in my new Sphere, that I cannot explain to you what that happiness means.  I cannot express myself, in language sufficiently strong and descriptive, that you may comprehend.  This I will say; that my happiness now transcends all conception of what happiness might be, when as a mortal, I sometimes thought of the afterlife and the happiness, which might be in store for me when I passed over.

    I am in the Third Sphere, but I am not contented to remain there.  Your mother has told me, on many occasions, of the far Greater Happiness existing in the Higher Spheres.  I am now striving, and praying, for this greater happiness (Divine Love).  I will never be contented until I get it.  Your wife is in a much Higher Sphere, and is so very beautiful, and so exceedingly happy, that I know that where she lives such happiness must exist.

    I am also happy because I have my soulmate with me so very often.  Her Love is so great and pure, that it leads me on to Higher Things.  Enables me to seek with so much earnestness the Great Love of the Father, which I now believe is working for me.  If I only will strive to obtain it, and have the Faith, which all who have obtained to a very large degree of this Divine Love, tell me of.

    Your grandmother is so wonderfully beautiful, and so filled with the Divine Love, that her very presence inspires me to believe and seek for the happiness of these Higher Spheres.

    Well, as you want me to tell you of some of the Laws of the Spirit World, I will say that the One Great Law is; that God is Love, and that He is willing to bestow that Love on anyone, spirit, or mortal, who ask Him for it.  I am not only very happy, but I find that my mind is expanding to a great extent, by reason of the Divine Love that I possess.  No human, or spirit of human, can possibly be filled with this Divine Love, and not have the wisdom that necessarily comes with the Divine Love.  I am not so much interested in purely mental phenomena, as I was before I received this Divine Love, and believed in a Father of Love and Truth.  I am nevertheless, able to understand many things to a far greater degree than I could when I had merely the mental pursuits in mind.  I am not yet fully conversant with the Laws of (Spirit - Mortal) Communication, as I told you I would learn and instruct you in.  I know enough to be able to say; that every spirit is trying to communicate with their friends on Earth.  Why they are not able, is because the mortals are not in that condition of psychical rapport that will enable them to receive the communications of the spirits.  I do not yet know why one mortal is susceptible to these influences, in such a way, as to be readily understood, and another mortal is not.  Some spirits say that this Law controlling this matter is not even understood by spirits who have been here for a great many years, and who have given considerable study to the subject.  This I do know, that when the rapport exists, the communications become stronger, with the exercise of the powers.  You have this power to a very large degree.  If you will continue to try to exercise it, you will find that manifestations of several kinds will be disclosed.  Your writing powers are very great, and will grow as you continue to write.  Beside this phase, you have the potential ability to have other manifestations, such as independent voices and slate writing.  This latter, I think, will soon come to you.  When it does, you will get messages that will have their great value to you, in convincing you that what you write, in this method, is written by the control of the thoughts of your (spirit) friends who profess to write.

    You will also get the voices very soon, as I think.  When you do, you will be able to converse with us in your room at night when you are alone.  I do not know of any manifestation, as satisfactory to both spirit and mortal, as the writing, such as you are now doing.  For we have the opportunity for such a greater extent of communicating and interchanging of thought.  I am perfectly delighted at the possibility given me of writing you in this way.  So you must believe that I am writing to you, and that all the others of your band are doing the same thing.

    Your wife has more power, in this regard, than any of us.  She does not hesitate to write you whenever you call her.  She is a wonderful spirit in her grasp of spirit things, and in her Love for the Father.  So you must not let any doubt come into your mind when she writes to you, and tells you of so many wonderful things, and of her Love for you.  She seems to Love you with a Love that has no limit, or possibility of growing less.

    I am now going to tell you of my progress in this Divine Love and happiness.  When I last wrote you, I told you that I had commenced to have Faith in the Father, and had received some portion of His Divine Love.  Well, since then I have been praying, and asking God to give me more Faith, and Divine Love.  As I prayed, my Faith increased.  As my Faith increased, more of this Divine Love came into my soul, with It, an increased happiness.

    So I would not stop striving until I realized that my soul was commencing to get such an inflow of this Divine Love, that it seemed that all things which tended to retard this influx were leaving me, and only Divine Love and Goodness were taking possession of me.  I am now very far advanced, over what I was when you first commenced to talk to me, of this Divine Love.  I shall, through All Eternity, remember, and thank you for, what you did for me.  I was also so fortunate to have your mother and wife with me very much, trying to show me the way to this Divine Truth of the New Birth.  Then when your grandmother came to me, it seemed as if I could not resist the influences to seek and try to pursue.

    So really when I had received enough of the Spiritual Awakening, to realize who Jesus was, I gave him my close attention.  As he continued to show me The Way to the Father, I commenced to grasp the Truth, and believe that my salvation depended on my receiving this Great Love, and becoming a finer and better human.  I tell you that Jesus is the Most Wonderful of spirits that I have seen, or heard about.  He is so filled with Divine Love and Goodness, that there seems no doubt in my mind that he is the son of the Father, in the Spiritual Sense of the term.  I mean, that he is so much nearer the Father, and in so much and many of his attributes, that he is the only son, in the sense of being At-One with the Father.

    We are all sons of the Father!  There is such a difference in our Spiritual conditions, that the contrast between Jesus, and us, is so great, that we can readily believe that he is the One True Son.  That his Great Love (the possession of the Divine Love) and Knowledge of the Qualities of the Father, makes him the only begotten in a different way physically from other humans.  No immaculate conception, or birth from the womb of a virgin.  I do not believe this dogma.  The Master says that it is not True, for he was truly, so far as his physical being is concerned, the son of a man and woman, as you, or I, am.

    Now, I am also convinced that humankind cannot be saved from their sins, unless they follow The Way, showed them by the Master.  No human can save them self.  I wish strongly to emphasize the fact that human is dependent upon God, for their salvation from the sins and errors of the material human.  I do not mean that humans have not a work to do themselves, for they have.  God is willing to save them, if they ask it, and acknowledge that with His Help they can be saved.  Unless they do ask, and believe, He will not interfere with these conditions.  So you see, I am not only a believer in God, and Jesus, but also in the doctrine that humans cannot save themselves.  I thought that human was sufficient unto them self when I was on Earth.  Now I know that they are not.  Human may be comparatively happy, and free from what is called sin.  That is a visitation of God's Laws.  That happiness, is not the same, nor is jiman's condition the same, as when he gets this Divine Love from the Father.

    I will not speak longer on this subject tonight, but simply say that when on Earth, I thought that by my own exertions I might possibly become divine.  Yet even as a spirit, I know that human is not divine, and cannot become so, in All Eternity, unless they receive this Divine Essence, which comes to them in the New Birth.  Divinity is of God Alone!  Only He can bestow It on human. Human, not having this divinity cannot create it by their own efforts.  So believe what I say.  Strive to get It.  You will then succeed, and become as the Redeemed in the Celestial Heavens.

    I am with my Earth wife and son a great deal, trying to show them The Way.  I am glad to say that Light is breaking in their hearts and perceptions.  I believe that very soon they will fully realize that the Only Way to get True Happiness and Peace is through The Way of the New Birth.

    I am trying to show them this Way.  They are having more faith in me.  Your dear wife is with them too, so very much.  She seems to have a great influence over them.  Especially over Bert, who believes that she is so very good and pure, that he wonders why she is such.  It causes him to think what she tells him as the cause, must be True.  Your father is with me a great deal too.  He has helped me very much.  He is now progressing so rapidly, that he will soon be with his soulmate in the Fifth Sphere.  Your good mother tells me this, and she knows so many things pertaining to Spiritual Progress.

I must stop now for you are tired, and so am I.  Well I will tell you of those things the next time I write.

So with all my love and blessings, I am your old partner, A. G. Riddle.

February 20th, 1915

I am here, Helen.

    I am here to tell you that you are my own Loving Ned, and that I could not let you stop writing until I told you how dear you are to me.

    Yes, I am so very, very happy.  I am willing that you should share it all with me.

    Yes, you will hear my voice soon in your own room.

    We will then talk Love, as well as write it.  Oh, my darling, how much I Love you tonight.  I see your heart is open to my Love.  I want you to get so much of it that you will be happy all the day long.

    I must not write much tonight for you are tired, and you must not exhaust yourself.

    Yes, he is full of Love, and his Faith is very strong.  He is a most unusual spirit, and is strong for the Higher Things.  He will progress very rapidly.  I know.  He is with his soulmate a great deal.  She has a wonderful influence over him, and is leading him to the Higher Thoughts, and Greater (Divine) Love.

    Alice is progressing.  She is praying, and believing.  She will soon be in the Third Sphere.  She loves you so much, and wants you to love her, and continue to pray for her.

    He (Jesus) says, that you need not ask his Father, for he Loves you too much to get offended.  You must Love him more, and believe in him more.  He will give you a communication that will satisfy you.

   She is here, and says that you are very good to think of her and Love her, and that she returns your Love, and hopes that very soon we may all be able to talk as you desire.  She is now trying to bring about conditions that will enable us to succeed.

I will stop and say goodnight.

Your own dear and loving, Helen.

February 22nd, 1915

I am here, Helen.

    Yes, I am.  When you need me, and feel that I am your own True wife.  I am not yet ready to let you see that you are so necessary to my happiness that I must be with you all the time.  If I do, you will become so careless of my Love, and will think that all you have to do is say, "Come Helen," and I will be there. Thanks are not in order, as you are too very much of a flirt to make me believe that you really mean "thank you".  You are my darling Ned.  I love you, and you know it.  I am glad that you do. You are too much in Love with me to ever want another.  I know, and I thank God that He gave us to each other.  If I had not your Love, I would not be so happy.  Oh my darling, I so long to have you with me all the time, so that I could tell you of my great Love for you, and that you are the only one that I Love, or have ever Loved, in all my Life.  Be so True to me, that no doubt will arise in your mind, that I am the one that God selected for you.  Let us continue to Love God, and then we will Love each other with a Love that knows no ending or falling away.  My Love for you is not only for a time, but for All Eternity.  We will never be separated after you come over to me.

Question and Answer:

    Yes, it is possible.  I know that our Love will become so real, that the mere fact of your being in the physical body will not prevent us from realizing that we are together in all the Reality of our True being and Love.  You will not have to wait very long before you will hear my voice, and feel my presence in a way that will convince you that I am with you, in all my strength and real existence.  Let us believe that we are one in spirit and Love.  Our realization of that fact will be so strong that we will be certain that the union is True.  Give me all your thoughts for a while.  You will learn that I am not only yours in spirit and love, but in real personal contact and actual presence.

    So do not doubt that I am with you now writing this Love letter, as I promised you this afternoon.  I am actually writing it.  You have nothing to do with it, but merely hold the pencil.  You do not deserve the Blessings, which God has given you, but He is so Loving and Merciful, that He sees that you need His Love, and my love to make you happy.  In the end, become a Spiritual man, and a true follower of Jesus, who is also your True Friend and teacher.  He will tell you all things that the Father has in store for you, and will not let you go astray again, as you did when we were living together on Earth.  So do not let the thought that you are too worldly, or too great a sinner, keep you from seeking the Divine Love of the Father, or believing that Jesus is interested in your welfare, both on Earth and in this (spirit) world.  Only believe what He may tell you.  You will not be left to go wrong.  Try to let your thoughts turn more to God's Divine Love, and to mine.

    Yes they all Love you very much, but not as I do.  Because their Love is that of a parent, while mine is that of one whom God has decreed shall be the necessary part of a love that is one and a perfect whole (True soulmate love).  Our Loves are not two, but one.  If either part is not in True accord, the "Perfect One" is not in existence.  So you see we must be sure that our Loves are just in that accord that is necessary to make the Perfect One.  Let us not write anymore tonight, as I am tired, and so are you.  Yes, you did right, under the conditions.  We could not do what you desired.

    With all my Love and best wishes for your happiness, I am your own True wife and sweetheart, Helen.

February 25th, 1915

I am here, Prof. Salyards.

    Well, I am very happy, and desire to write you on some phases of Spirit Life that I have observed in my experience of progressing.

    I have noticed that the spirit, when it first comes into this Life, is very often in a condition of darkness, not realizing where it is, or what its surroundings are.  In many instances, it requires quite a long time for the spirit to realize that it is not still of Earth.  In many cases, this is not the condition of the spirit, for it seems to have an immediate understanding of its condition and surroundings.  I attribute the first mentioned condition to be due to the fact, that when on Earth the mortal had no definite belief as to what the Future Life might be.  In many instances believed that, the soul went into the grave with the body, to await the "great resurrection day".  Some of your religious denominations are preaching that doctrine now.  The consequence will be, that all those who believe the doctrine will experience the condition of darkness, and the want of Knowledge of the Continuity of Life that I have spoken of.

    The second class of spirits of those who appear to realize immediately that they have passed from Earth Life to Spirit Life are those, who, while on Earth, believed that the spirit, when it left the body, passed immediately into the Heavenly Spheres, or into the opposite, I mean the place of the wicked.  I know that many of this class have hardly realized that they were in heaven or hell, for some little time after their entrance into Spirit Life.

    Well, as soon as the spirits realize fully that, they are no longer of Earth; they commence to inquire as to where they are.  Many of them ask questions that indicate that they are disappointed in not realizing the expectations that they had while on Earth.  It is very difficult at times to convince them that there are no such places as the heavens and the hells, as taught by the churches.  For while our Spirit World may be a heaven, or hell, to them, yet the heaven, or hell, that they expect to find is not here.

    Some, on the other hand, do not seem to understand that they have really left the Earth, because, they say, "If we had left the Earth Life, we would know nothing".  Quoting Job, and some of the preachers: "the dead know nothing."

    I have been very much interested in observing these different phases of the departed spirits' beliefs and thoughts.  Now all this shows the absolute necessity of mortals understanding the Truths pertaining to Life and death.

    This affords a very strong argument why Spiritualism should be more extensively, and earnestly, taught to mortals.  And why the false doctrines of those who teach either that the dead know nothing, or that the departed spirit goes either to heaven or to hell in the orthodox sense, should be shown to be not only a false belief, but injurious to humankind.

    Let the believers and teachers of Spiritualism make greater and stronger efforts to refute these harmful teachings.  They will be doing the cause of Truth and of human's happiness a great good.

    I am not only interested in these phases, but in all others, which show that the spirits, even after they realize that they are still alive, and must live as spirits, continue to show the fact that their orthodox teachings are false.  Some say, that they may yet be able to go back into the body and await the great resurrection day for deliverance, and say that they will soon see God, and that He will take them into His heavens, where they will find that eternal rest and peace that they were taught to expect when on earth.  The wicked, even, look in dread to have some devil come and carry them to the hells where torture of the most terrible kind, they think, awaits them.

    From all this you may understand that we spirits, who know the Truth, have a great work to do, to enable these darkened spirits to understand and believe that their false hopes and dreadful fears have no foundation in Truth, and will never be realized.

    This is the work many spirits are engaged in doing.  These spirits are not necessarily of the higher kind, for many spirits who occupy the Earth Plane, and have no real spiritual enlightenment, are engaged in this work.

    I am not now engaged in causing these dark spirits to see the Truth, for I have progressed to Higher Things.  My mission is to teach the Truths of the Higher Life, which I have been taught by spirits who live in Higher Spheres.

    This work to me is one that is not only interesting, but which gives me the great happiness that comes with the realization, that I have been the means of leading a spirit to learn to Love God, and to receive the happiness which the Love of God gives to spirits.  I tell you that this teaching is the grandest that I ever engaged in, in all my Life.  When on Earth, as I taught and saw the young mind develop.  I found much happiness in the knowledge that I was doing some good.  But here, in my teachings, when I see a soul develop, I realize that I am doing a spirit that greatest of all good, in bringing it At-One in Divine Love with the Father.  Happiness here, and that of earth, is as the Soul Development is so much greater than the development of the mere mind.

    My work is not confined entirely to this teaching.  I also am engaged in trying to assist mortals to a True Conception of the Life here, I mean the Spiritual part of this Life.  No human is entirely without spirit influence, whether good or evil.  Many are susceptible to the influence of the evil spirits.  For that reason the work of the good spirits is so much more difficult.  There is, in human's (mental) nature, that which leads them to evil thoughts, so much easier than to good thoughts.  This is an old saying, I know, but is a True one.  The fact that it has been said so often and for so long a time, does not decrease the importance of it as a Truth.  So while humans have felt this evil inclination in their (mental) nature, the fight between the good and evil influences will be somewhat unequal.  The advantage though, with the good influences, is that what they suggest is Truth, which will never die, while the suggestions of the evil influences last only for a comparatively short time.

    When the material (body), gives up the Spirit Being which it clothes, that Spirit Being will then be relieved of many of these natural (mental) tendencies to evil thoughts and deeds.  While this mere separation does not make a devil a saint, it makes it so much easier for the spirit to get rid of many of these evil tendencies.  Makes them more susceptible to the influence of Truth and Goodness.

    You must not think from this, as soon as they have been in the Spirit World for a little time, they become good spirits.  For that is not True.  Many evil spirits have been in the Spirit World for a great many years.  Yet have their evil thoughts and desires, all the evil qualities of hatred, malice, envy, etc., as when they were on Earth.  Their giving up the Earth Life did not deprive them of their will, the greatest force or power that God gave to human, except that of Love.  Many of these spirits refuse to exercise their will in a way that will enable them to rid themselves of these evil thoughts and desires.

    So you see, the mere fact of becoming a spirit does not mean that the mortal has become a good and saintly spirit.  No, I am sorry to say, that many humans who were very evil on Earth, are still evil as spirits.  Their happiness, which they think they have, is only that happiness, which they, as humans, thought they realized from the exercise of evil thoughts and acts.  Yet there is one great redeeming fact connected with their dark and sad condition.  That is; that in the end, whenever it so pleases God, all evil will be banished from the Spirit World.  All spirits will be given that happiness which comes from a nature free from sin and error.  Not by the fiat of God, but by humans seeking for, and doing, those things, that will free the soul from sin and error and again come into harmony with God's Laws.  Just such I imagine as Adam and Eve enjoyed in the historical Garden of Eden.

    That happiness, while of a character that brings much contentment and peace, yet is not the True Happiness which God is waiting to give all His Children, who ask and seek for the inflowing of the Divine Love in their souls.

    I will not discourse on this Great Happiness tonight, as it would take too long, and you are somewhat tired, but will say, that all humans should seek for it, both on Earth, and in the Spirit World. When on Earth, I did not have it.  Since I came here, I found it.  I now possess it, thanks be to God and His Loving Kindness.

You folks all have it, and many others too numerous to mention.

Let me stop now as I am tired, and you need to rest.

So with all my Love and best wishes, I am your old professor, Joseph H. Salyards.
