Messages from Jesus and Celestials on Divine Love 1916 May - June

May 7th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I come tonight to tell you that tomorrow night I will deliver my message. I will not disappoint you. I hope that you will be in condition to receive it. Tonight you are in very good condition. I would write tonight, but it is rather late to commence, as it will take some little time to transmit the message. I desire it to be done when you have plenty of time, and not quite so tired physically, as you are tonight.

You have had a pleasant evening with your daughter. Your soul condition is in a very well developed state. You have much Divine Love in your heart.

If you will only pray more, and let your thoughts turn more to Things Spiritual, you will continue in this state of soul perception, and be able to receive my message as I may come to you. I will try to make my message as plain and convincing as possible. I think you will be much benefitted by it.

I am with you, more than you think, trying to help you and encourage you in your work and business. As you see, things are getting better. Only give your attention to your business and it will increase. You will get in condition that will cause your worries to leave you.

I Love you as an elder brother, a spirit who knows what Love means. You must have faith in me; think of me and my nearness to you.

Yes, I will be with her, help her and protect her from evil and try to make her happy. She is very happy tonight, and is commencing to Love you, as a daughter. Very soon, you will see the differences in her affections and demonstration of her Love. You will soon be together in your home. Then you will both be happy. In keeping up your courage and have Faith, and all these things that you desire will become yours.

I will not write more tonight.

Question and Answer:

Yes, she is very mediumistic. I think it advisable to take her to the sance for it will convince her that there is Truth in Spiritualism. She will then commence to think more of the subject, and soon become thoroughly convinced. The power will develop itself in her, and will work to her good.

So with my Love and blessings, I will say goodnight.

Your brother and friend, Jesus.

May 8th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I come tonight to finish my message. I will do so, if your condition is such that you may receive it. Well, as you may remember, my subject is: "How the Divine Love enters into the soul of a human being."

I have already explained to you the difference between the respective functions of the physical body, the spiritual body and the soul, and how the Real Human is the soul, which may live forever. I have also shown you how the physical and spiritual bodies change, their component parts, and as such bodies, disintegrated and disappear in the form that they may have at any one time.

Well, the soul is the human, and becomes the Angel of God's Kingdom. The soul may also become only the everlasting part of human in the Spiritual Kingdom, as contradistinguished from the Celestial Heavens (Kingdom).

The Only Way, in which the soul may become an inhabitant of the Celestial Spheres, is by its obtaining of the Divine Love, and thereby, become a partaker of the Divine Nature of the Father. This can be accomplished only by the inflowing of the Divine Love, by means of the operation of the Holy Spirit, which is the Instrumentality used by God to carry this Divine Love to the souls of humans.

As I have before said, this Divine Love never forces itself into the souls of humans, comes only when humans seek for it, in sincerity, and with effort. It is waiting for all humans to receive It. It never comes into the soul of its own initiative, and without invitation. So the important question is, how does it come into the soul, and what must humans do to induce Its inflowing?

There is Only One Way! That is; by the opening up of the soul, in such a manner, that this Divine Love, when it comes in response to sincere seeking, may find an entrance, and a condition of development, that will cause it to find lodgment and abiding place, harmonious and satisfactory to the qualities of its own existence. Of course, human, cannot of them self, open up their soul to this inflowing. For while they have great power, yet the will is not sufficient. Nor have they any other inherent qualities that will enable them to place their soul in such condition as to make possible the work of the Holy Spirit in causing the Divine Love to flow into the soul.

The only means, by which this can be accomplished, are prayer and Faith. When a human, in True earnestness and sincere aspirations, prays to the Father for this Divine Love, such prayer not only brings Divine Love, but causes those portions of the soul, which are capable of receiving this Divine Love to open up to its coming, and to work in such a way as to attract the Divine Love.

The Holy Spirit never performs this work of preparing the soul for the reception of this Divine Love, but merely brings the Divine Love, and causes Its inflowing, when the soul is in condition to receive it. In answer to prayer, there are other Instrumentalities of the Father working to prepare the soul condition that is required. These Instrumentalities are the bright spirits of the Celestial Heavens, whose duties, among others, are to answer the prayers of the penitent, in the way of infilling the soul with influences that turn the thoughts and aspirations to this Divine Love and its operations.

As I said when on Earth, there is no other way to get into the sheepfold but through the gateway provided, they that attempt to climb over the fence is a thief and a robber. This should be modified to fit the exact fact. There is no possibility of getting into this fold by climbing the fence. There is Only One Way, that through the gate of prayer and sincere longing.

I know that many humans believe that the performance of church duties, the observation of the requirements of the church as to baptism and the sacraments, etc., will be sufficient to enable them to get into the Kingdom. I tell you that they are all wrong. Their disappointment will be very great, when they come into the Spirit World (and not find themselves in the Kingdom).

What are called moral deeds and good thoughts will not cause this inflowing of the Divine Love, because these things are necessary steps towards the Purification of the soul in its Natural Love. No matter how Pure this Natural Love may become, it is not the Divine Love, or any portion of It.

Good thoughts and deeds, though, may help to turn the aspirations of the soul to these Higher Conditions, and open up its perceptions, to a degree that may lead to prayer and Faith. Therefore, in addition to their work of purifying the Natural Love, may prove to be of great value in assisting humans towards the development of the soul, so that the Divine Love may enter into it. To depend on good thoughts, moral deeds, and a Life pure from sin, to give human the right to an entrance into the Celestial Kingdom, is a great mistake.

The Divine Love is a Thing entirely apart from the Nature of Human, even in its purest state, and was never conferred on human, as was the Natural Love. Consequently, when human obtains this Divine Love, and it becomes a part of their soul Qualities, their nature, as it were, changes. They become a New Creature. An additional something has been conferred upon them. It becomes impossible for them to remain the mere human that they were, and they always would, be, except for this change in their Nature.

I know that humans do not understand the distinction between a human with only the Natural Love, and one with the Divine Love. The distinction is so great, that the one, when possessed to a sufficient degree, makes the human a part of Divinity, while the other, no matter how fully possessed, and how Pure it may become, makes human, merely human, though a Perfect One.

Whosoever will pray, in sincerity, for the inflowing of this Divine Love, will receive it. It is not a respecter of persons. The sincere aspirations of the soul of any human, be they prince, or peasant, rich or poor, will invariably cause this Divine Love to come into their soul, and change their Nature, so that they will become a New Creature. One not subject to death forever more (Immortal).

The merely intellectual prayers are not efficacious. It does not have any effect in opening up the soul. Neither does much of this praying do the work. One little moment of this True Praying will be more effective in causing this Divine Love to flow towards the soul, than a whole Lifetime of idle repetition of prayers that come from a source merely mental. Here let me say, that the mind is not the soul, and much less God.

Well, I think I have made plain, how this Divine Love flows into a human's soul. In addition, what its effect is, when possessed by human. There is nothing, in All God's Universe that can take its place, for the purpose of making a human At-One with the Father, and of causing them to become Divine, in so far as they possess this Divine Love.

So I say to all humans, pray, and pray, and never cease to pray for the inflowing of this Divine Love. For there is no limit to its Abundance, or the amount which human, or spirit, can obtain. Always, in the Celestial Heavens, we spirits continually pray for an increased Bestowal. Always our prayers are answered! But always there is more to follow.

I must not write more tonight.

I am satisfied with the correctness of your receiving my message. I will come again and write you another.

With all my Love and blessings, I am, your brother and friend, Jesus.

May 12th, 1916

I am here, John.

I desire to write tonight. If you think it is not too late, we will do so. Well, I will not make my message very lengthy, but try to condense in short sentences.

I want to tell you that when a human gets to Know the Truths of the Father, they will become a very happy and wise human. These Truths have in them, only those Principles that create Happiness and Wisdom.

I know that humans believe many things, on account of their being ancient, or having the authority of their forefathers, or some great saint or writer who lived many centuries ago. Such a basis for Truth, while worthy of consideration and examination, does not of itself, because of being old, afford any certainty that what is thus accepted contains the Truth.

Truth is a thing very old. Existed for many thousands of centuries before the times in which these ancient writers, as you call them, lived. In fact, those days of the writers, in comparison to what had gone before, are as yesterdays. Therefore, you will see that because the declarations of these writers are, what you consider very ancient, they should not be received as having authority.

Truths of those days, of the long ages prior thereto, and of the present time, are all the same. Truth never changes, or assumes new forms, no matter what the conditions of mortals may be as to intellectual or Spiritual Development. They may be revealed today, and are being constantly revealed, as time progresses. Should be accepted with as much credence and satisfaction as any Truths that were ever disclosed in ancient days.

Humans are just as susceptible now, to the reception of these Truths in their Spiritual Natures or perceptions, as they were in the times of Abraham, Moses, or at any time since.

The mind of human was given to them to be exercised in the way of investigation and search. Never was it contemplated in their Creation, that the time would come when they should accept anything as the Ultimate's of Truth, and cease their inquiries. Truths are so many, great, and deep, that so far, in the Mortal Universe, human has acquired only a smattering of these Truths. To rest supinely in this acquirement, under the belief that there is nothing more in existence than human may know, violates, and subverts, the very object of their Creation. What I have said applies to Spiritual Truths, as well as to Material ones.

The churches, I know, declare, and try to enforce the declaration, that it is not possible to discover, or have revealed to humans, the Essential Principles of Spiritual Truths, to a greater extent than has already been declared in the Bible, and the churches' interpretation of the same. That, therefore, it is contrary to God's Will that humans should seek further for any additional Truths. That humans should accept, without question, the sayings of the Bible, the dogmas and creeds of the churches, which their claim is founded upon, and which they declare are the true principles of spiritual truths. For many years, this has been the demand of the churches. The members thereof have acquiesced, without question, or doubt.

Now, this has been one of the great causes why humans have not progressed more, not only in their Spiritual Nature, but also in what may be called their Natural Qualities. They have remained satisfied. What was believed by them centuries ago, are believed today. I say all this to show how stagnant the intellects of humans have been, as it depends on search and investigation, and has remained for all these long ages.

I further recite this, to show the necessity for humans to seek, criticize, and accept or reject, as the results of the search may demand. In recent years, though, humans have made greater progress. The individual has come to the front. The old accepted fabrications of Truths, have been assaulted, shaken, and denuded of their falsities, to a considerable degree. So it should be. Humans must seek, criticize, and accept or reject, as their own conscience and reasoning powers dictate. Therein will be freedom of the mind, as well as of the will (soul).

The soul also has been smothered in these dogmatic beliefs. As a consequence, its development has been slow. Knowledge of Things Spiritual has not come to humans, as it should have done, as is necessary to teach them their destiny, and the Truths, which should control their lives on Earth, and which will control their progress in the Spirit World.

Well, as you are tired. I will postpone the balance of my discourse. I think it best, when you feel tired, to discontinue the writing, instead of attempting to force yourself into receiving it.

So I will not write more. Believe that I am your brother in Christ, John.

May 16th, 1916

Let me write a line. I am your cousin Alice. It has been a long time since I wrote you. As I saw you a few nights ago when you spoke to Mame at the show, I have since, had a great longing to write you, and tell you my condition now and how happy I am. Mary's mother and I were with her at the time. We saw you speak to her, and heard you tell her that you had recently received a letter from her mother. Of course, she scarcely believes it. Nevertheless, she has in her heart, a longing that it may be so. She dearly loved her mother when on Earth, and now thinks of her very often.

Well, I am still in the Third Sphere. I am so very happy, and have such a beautiful home and lovely surroundings, and beautiful and good associates. I never, on Earth, conceived such happiness, or such a home, and such companions. It is one long dream of joy, and freedom from sin and unrest. I mean that I now have nothing to make me unhappy, as I had on Earth. I am still praying to the Father for more Divine Love. Helen, and your mother, come to me often. Tell me that I must continue to pray, so that I may progress to the Higher Spheres, where so much greater happiness may be found. They help me very much. What beautiful spirits they are! Helen seems to Love me so much, and to be so filled with the Divine Love.

Well, Ed, you thought she was beautiful on Earth, but you should see her now! You simply have no conception of her beauty. If I could write for a whole year trying to describe it to you, I could not succeed. You would not comprehend. How thankful I am that she came to me with her Love, and showed me The Way to this Heaven of Bliss. Oh, it is wonderful to know that there is a Heaven. And, that I am eating its fruits and drinking from its River of Life.

I must not write longer.

Well, Aunt Mary is progressing very much. She is not yet with me, but she is very happy and free from all darkness and suffering, and has some of the Father's Divine Love in her soul and knows how to pray and is doing so. She will soon progress. Then I will see more of her. So pray for us both that we may get more of the Divine Love.

I will stop now. First, I want to tell you how much I enjoy writing to you, and how much I Love you.

So with all my Love, I will say goodnight.

Your own true cousin, Alice.

May 16th, 1916

I am here, Luther.

I come to tell you that I desire very much to write you before a great time shall elapse, as I have a subject that is important to me to reveal to humankind, and especially my followers in the Church, which bears my name. I see the necessity of correcting many of the Principles of belief, which now hold my followers to bondage, and prevent them from learning the Truths, as I now know them to be. So soon, let me write, if you can possibly find the opportunity. I am very happy in my condition of Divine Love and living, and so want to help all others to learn the Truth and become happy.

So, with my Love and best wishes, I am, your brother in Christ,

Luther.

May 16th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I will not write a formal message tonight. I will merely tell you that I was with you tonight at the home of Mr. Morgan. I wrote what you received as purporting to come from me. I meant that if I could establish the rapport with him, I would cure him. So I will. It depends somewhat on his having the necessary concentration, and belief in me.

It may seem strange that I cannot do this unless this rapport is established, but it is a fact. There are certain Laws, which control the exercise of this power upon mortals, which must be complied with. When on Earth, I could come in direct contact with the mortal, by reason of my being in the flesh. As the power was in me, or could be engendered in me, by the exercise of my Spiritual Powers, I encountered no obstacle, in the way of my exercising these Powers upon the mortal. Now, there is no direct contact between me and the mortal. Hence, there is no means of communicating this Power to them, until a rapport is established.

This rapport is something more than a mere Spiritual connection, partakes somewhat of the material. Though we are not of the material, yet, the rapport must be of the nature mentioned. The material part of it must come from the mortal them self.

Now, you will understand that my relationship, in such cases, with the mortal is very different from what would be your relationship to them, had you this Power residing in you. When the time comes for you to receive this Power, you will not need to establish any rapport between you, and whomever you may be able to cure. I mean, it will not be necessary for this rapport to be established, by drawing from the mortal any part of the material that belongs to them. This you will have yourself. The Power will be exercised by you, simply as a mortal coming in contact with them.

This power can be possessed by mortals, just as my disciples and others possessed it, at the time that I was on Earth. The same results may be obtained as were obtained in those days.

Well, the Power that was manifested in you, was somewhat of the nature that I have been speaking of. Only it was a power borrowed, or conferred upon you by a spirit. It was a part of this spirit's power. Thereby, differing from that, which you will receive as a part of your own self, when you shall have had that Soul Development, and possession of the Divine Love, which are necessary prerequisites, to any mortal, or spirit either, being able to receive the power.

The spirit who was trying to manifest through you, and help Mr. Morgan, was your own Indian guide, who is a very powerful spirit. He drew on you very hard for the material that was necessary for him to make the manifestation. The power, which he transmitted, will help Mr. Morgan. He will realize it by morning. If you had continued for a while longer, its effects would have become seen before you left him.

I will try tonight, as I promised, to help him. If we can form the rapport that I speak of, there will be no uncertainty as to the results. I will give especial attention to his case, as I desire to demonstrate to him that the Power of the Spirit World, when properly exercised, can be used to help mortals, even in their physical ills, to relieve them from their sufferings. I see that he has a very considerable Faith, and will make the effort to help establish this rapport. We may succeed. At any rate, you have already helped him. He will realize it.

I will come to you soon, and write you another message on an important subject, so that you may see the necessity for our working faster.

I will not write more. I will say that I Love you, and I am with you, trying to help you. So, with my blessings, I will say goodnight.

Your brother and friend, Jesus.

May 16th, 1916

I am here, your own loving Helen.

Well, sweetheart, I will not write much, as you are tired and must go to bed early. You have had an experience tonight, which has exhausted you somewhat. You need rest.

I was with you at Mr. Morgan's, and tried to help him. When White Eagle was rubbing him, I also tried to help. I think that Mr. Morgan will feel better in the morning, for White Eagle used a great deal of his power to treat Mr. Morgan. You received so much that I was afraid it might do you some harm at the time. White Eagle said no, that he would look out for that. So I told him to do his best.

Yes, Jesus was there. What you received, he actually wrote. He was so anxious to help Mr. Morgan, in the way that he indicated, and will succeed, if he can only establish the necessary rapport, as he said. It will be a glorious demonstration if he does succeed.

I would like to write longer tonight, but I must not. So, my own dear Ned, Love me and think of me, and call me to you more often. Give me a great big kiss and say goodnight.

Your own True and Loving Helen.

May 23rd, 1916

I am here, Luther.

I came tonight in the hope that I may write my message of which I spoke to you a short time ago. Well, if you feel that you can receive the same, I will proceed.

In my day, the members of the Church, I mean the Roman Catholic Church, were dependent entirely upon the priesthood for all information as to the contents of the Bible, and the interpretation that should be given such contents. Very few of the laymen were able to possess the Bible. Scarcely any could read it, as it was written in the Latin tongue. The inhabitants of my section of Europe were not acquainted with that language.

The consequence of this was, that all the people were dependent entirely on the priests for any knowledge of the Will of God, and that only as the priests saw proper to convey the same to these people.

Many things were taught by these officials of the Church, in such a way as to convince the people that the Church was the divine institution of God, and that, in every particular. As to the conduct of humans, what the priests said and declared to be the will of God, must be accepted without doubt or hesitation, and that the penalties of disobedience of these teachings of the priests, would be in the form that they should prescribe, and that the wrath of God would fall upon all who should disobey these teachings of the Church.

The Spiritual Enlightenment of humans was not attempted to any degree. The requirements of the Church were; that humans should strictly obey the dogmas and tenets, which should be declared to them by these instructions of the priests. Duty was the principal thing to be observed. The utmost obedience to the commands of the Church must be performed, unless the Church itself should release the people from the performance of these duties.

Every violation of these commands was a sin. To which a penalty was attached, which could not be avoided, unless the priests should give to the believers an indulgence. Then, to the extent of the indulgence, the penalty was taken away. In order to obtain this indulgence, a compensation would have to be made to the coffers of the Church, depending upon the ability of the one receiving such indulgence to make.

At a time when these indulgences were most prevalent, and when the Church was becoming rich from the revenues paid for the same, I commenced to revolt from the claims of the Church. Declared my want of belief in the dogma that the Church could grant such indulgences, and absolve humans from the penalties, which their sins brought upon them (by the workings of Spiritual Law).

You all know the history of the Reformation, and its results upon the power of the Church of Rome. How humans were freed from the superstitions of the Church. How the reform grew in many of the Catholic countries. New churches and beliefs were established. Well, I will not further recite any of these things. Merely say, that what I have written is intended to be only preliminary to what the object of my writing is.

As humans of thought, convinced of the false claims and superstitions of the Church, and of the necessity of making known to humankind, the Truths of the Bible, I and several others, in our zeal, refused to recognize and accept, as a part of the teachings of the reform belief, many things which were contained in the Church's dogmas or teachings that were really True, or in a manner True, when relieved of their appendages, which the Church had attached to the Kernels of Truth. As a consequence, we rejected many Principles, that we should have made parts of the beliefs and teachings of the new beliefs.

Well, I am sorry that you do not feel in condition to receive more at this time. It is best to postpone the remainder. I will soon come, and finish what I desire to write.

So, with my Love and best wishes, I am, your brother in Christ, Luther.

May 26th, 1916

I am here, John.

I desire to write about a matter that will interest you, as I have heard you express your wonderment as to what would become of the soulmate who should happen to be in a condition that caused them to be without the Divine Love at the time the Great Potentiality of Obtaining the Divine Love should be taken from humankind.

Well, this is a subject, which has been discussed by spirits of the Higher Spheres. We have not been able to solve the question. Of course, it is necessary that the two parts of the soul must again unite, in order to make the Perfect One. If one part should be in the Celestial Heavens, and the other part in the Spirit World, at the time the great gift is taken from human, it would not be possible for these two parts to unite and become One again.

As you know, we are not informed as to when this Great Separation will take place. Only know that at sometime it will. That then, the spirits in each of these conditions of development will have to part and never more become united.

As to the effect of such a separation on two soulmates, I cannot tell you, as I do not know.

We do not believe, there will not be some provision made, by which these two separated parts can be united. I cannot conceive that one could be completely happy without their soulmate in Condition of Unity. Many a soul will never enter the Celestial Heavens, or partake of this Divine Love, and Divine Nature of the Father, but will have to spend Eternity in the Spirit World. I mean in the Spheres, lower than the Celestial Spheres, and may, or may not, have their soulmate with them. I do not know how to instruct you in this matter. I am waiting for the Great Event, in order to learn the Truth regarding the matter.

Irrespective of this mystery, every man and woman should strive to obtain this Divine Love, which will enable them to enter the Celestial Spheres, and not wait until they get into the Spirit World, as it is very much easier to start on this journey from Earth, than from the Spirit World.

I do not believe that there will be any separation of soulmates when one of them is in the Celestial Spheres. The result would be the writer's incompleteness of the severance of that soul from its mate.

I wish that I could inform you, as to what provision will be made, for the reuniting of soulmates who are in the condition of the ones just mentioned. I cannot. All that I might say would be speculation only.

I will not write more now. I will say that you have my Love and blessings.

Your brother in Christ, John.

May 28th, 1916

I am here, Your Grandmother.

I will tell you tonight of a Truth that may be of interest to you. I know that it is of importance to all who may long for happiness in the Future Life.

As you know, I am now in the Celestial Spheres, in a place Higher than the Third Celestial Sphere, and where are no special lines of demarcation separating it from what you may call the Higher Planes.

In my Plane, the inhabitants are those who have received the Divine Love in their souls, to an extent that makes them Know that they are of a Nature that is Divine and in At-Onement with that of the Father. Of course, those who have entered the First Celestial Sphere have the Knowledge of having partaken of the Divine Nature, but they are not so filled with this Divine Love as we are who live in the Sphere that I am in.

It is not possible for me to tell you of the extent of our Happiness. You have no words in your language that can possibly convey, a faint conception, of this Happiness. I will not attempt to describe it. If you will combine all the emotions of joy and happiness, which you have received, or experienced, in all the years of your Life, you would not be able to realize the meaning of our Happiness, in the faintest degree.

I merely recite this Truth, to show to you, and all humankind, what is possible for you and them to obtain, if you will only pursue the course that the Father has provided, and the Master has pointed out in his messages to you.

The Great Instrument that causes this Great Happiness is Love. By this I mean the Divine Love, of which we have so often written, and without which it is impossible for a soul to obtain this condition, or to become a dweller in the Celestial Heavens.

Human, as you have been instructed, was not Created with this Divine Love, and could only obtain it by their own longings and aspirations, being exercised in The Way that the Father had provided. In no other way could these desires for this Divine Love be realized. The great pity is that the First of the Human Race declined, or rather refused, to pursue this Way. Thought that they were wise enough to know a better way. In attempting to pursue this way, brought about their own fall, and the loss of the Privilege of obtaining this Divine Love. In all the long years, until the coming of Jesus, no human, after the First Created, had the Privilege. Hence, it was not possible for them to find any greater happiness than that which might come from their Natural Love.

At the coming of Jesus, humans again had Bestowed upon them this Great Privilege, and a possibility of the Knowledge of The Way, in which the Privilege could be exercised. This was not declared to all humans. The territory in which Jesus taught and proclaimed this Important Truth was very limited. The great majority of humans died without knowing that this Gift had been Re-Bestowed. God, in His Goodness and Love, did not restrict the Bestowal of this Divine Love to those who might be fortunate enough to learn of it from Jesus, and his apostles. But sent His Holy Spirit, to implant it in the souls of all humans, who might be in such condition of soul aspiration and longing, as to permit this Divine Love to enter their souls.

When spirits became possessed of this Knowledge, they commenced the work of trying to influence humans, in such a way, that there arose in them a longing for a closer Unity with God, and an opening up of the soul perceptions. As a result, many humans, in various parts of the World, received this Divine Love in their souls, without Knowing that it was this Divine Love. But it was. When these humans, in their spirit forms, entered the Spirit World, they soon found, that to some extent, they were possessed of this Divine Love. It was not difficult for them to listen to the explanations, and teachings, of those spirits who had received It, as to the Truth of its existence.

Now, all this may not appear to be of much importance to present human, and hardly worth attention. My great object in writing in this manner is to show that God had no special or particular people. That it was not even necessary that all peoples should learn from Jesus the fact of this Gift. For in such a case, the great majority of humankind could not possibly have heard of this Divine Love, while they were yet mortals. No, this was not a necessity. But the Knowledge, which came to mortals through Jesus, enabled them who possessed it, and believed, to the more readily pursue the way to obtaining this Divine Love.

Many spirits had received the benefit of the Re-Bestowal of this Divine Love, or rather the Privilege of seeking for, and obtaining it, before Jesus came to the Spirit World, yet they understood that the greater extent of the possession of this Divine Love was in Jesus. No spirit now possesses It to the degree that he does.

Whether the souls of mortals, or spirits, received the Knowledge of this Truth from Jesus, or from the workings of the Holy Spirit in its Ministrations, they all know that the seeking for, and getting, this Divine Love are the only means by which the soul may become an inhabitant of the Celestial Heavens.

I realize that what I have written conflicts with the orthodox belief, that it is only through the death and blood of Jesus that humans can be saved from their sins and become children of God, and at one with Him. If this belief were True, then by Jesus' sacrifice all humans would he saved, irrespective of their obtaining this Divine Love, or only those would be saved who had heard of Jesus, and accepted him as their saviour. Neither of these propositions is True. For without this Divine Love entering into the soul of a human, it would be impossible for them to partake of the Divine Nature of the Father, and become fitted to occupy a home in the Celestial Spheres. This Divine Love in the soul, whether it is a result of the workings of God's Ministering Spirits, causing a Real Soul Longing, in conjunction with the Holy Spirit, makes the human, of a Nature Divine, a Redeemed Child of God.

Now, from what I have said, it must not be inferred that the mission of Jesus, and his work on Earth, and in the Spirit World, are not the great things connected with Human's Redemption, for they are. It was not until Jesus' coming that this Great Gift was Re-Bestowed. It was not until his declaring this fact, and teaching the Great Truth of the New Birth, could either mortals, or spirits, receive this Privilege. The Ministering Spirits could not influence the souls of humans to seek for the inflowing of this Divine Love, until they had first received it themselves, and understood its existence. Here let me declare a fact, that when Jesus preached to mortals on Earth the necessity for the Second Birth, myriads of spirit beings heard these teachings, and became possessed of this Knowledge.

Today, humans are attended by hosts of spirits of all kinds. The sayings, and teachings, of humans are heard by more spirits than humans. The influence of such teachings, has its effect upon spirits, as upon humans. The spirits of humans, which are existing in the Earth Planes, are the same spirits, substantially, that they were when on Earth. An earthly friend, frequently has more influence upon them, than do other spirits, no matter how High their condition may be.

I am so happy to be able to write you again, and let you know that I have not forsaken you. I am with you quite often. I am trying to help you. Pray more to the Father. Exercise more Faith. You will grow in Soul Development, and Happiness.

I will not write more now.

So with all my Love and blessings, I am your Grandmother, Ann Rollins.

May 29th, 1916

I am here, Martin Luther, One Time Monk and Reformer.

I desire to continue my message, if it is agreeable to you. Well, we will try.

When on Earth, I firmly believed what was contained in our doctrines and teachings. I was sincere in trying to induce others to believe as I believed, and taught. After my long experience in the Spirit World, and my communications with Jesus, his apostles, and others, to whom the Truths of the Father have come, I realize, and know, that many of my teachings were erroneous. Should not longer be believed by those who worship in the churches that bear my name. My "Doctrine of Faith", that is, justification by Faith, is all wrong, when its foundation is considered. The impossibility of understanding, from my teachings, and the church's tenets, just what can be intended by Faith. Our "faith" was founded on the assumption that Jesus was a part of the Godhead. The only begotten son of the Father. Who so loved sinful human, that He caused His sinless and beloved son to die on the cross, that divine justice might be appeased, and the burden of humans sins taken from them and placed on Jesus.

Oh, the terrible error of it all! How it has mislead so many of the believers, to a condition of darkness and deprivation of the Divine Love of the Father. No, such objects of "faith" have no foundation in fact. Such a "faith" does not justify sinful human, or bring them in At-Onement with the Father, so that they become a Redeemed Child of God.

Jesus was not a part of the Godhead. Neither was he begotten, in the way that I taught, and my followers believe. He was the son of human, and only the son of God by reason of the fact that he had received in his soul the Divine Love of the Father, which made him like the Father in many of His Attributes of Divinity.

God did not send Jesus to Earth for the purpose of dying on the cross, or for the purpose of paying any debt, or appeasing the wrath of his angry and jealous Father. These qualities are not Attributes of the Father. Only Love, sympathy, and the desire that humans turn from their sins and become reconciled to Him, are His Attributes, as affects the Salvation of Humans. No death of Jesus could make any human the less a sinner, or draw them any nearer to the Father. Faith in this erroneous proposition is "faith" in an error. Never has human been justified by it.

Jesus came to Earth with a Mission to save humankind from their sins. That mission was to be performed in two ways only: The one; by declaring to human that the Father had Re-Bestowed upon them the Privilege of receiving the Divine Love. The other; by showing human The Way in which the Privilege might be exercised, so that this Divine Love would become theirs, and thereby, make them a part of the Father's Divinity, and insure them Immortality.

In no other way, could, or can, humans be saved, and made At-One with the Father. Faith in these Truths, which makes them things of possession and ownership by humans, is the only Faith, which justifies.

I write this for the benefit, more particularly, of my followers. So that they may learn the Vital Truths of their Salvation, and change their "faith" in the death and blood sacrifice of Jesus, to Faith in the Re-Bestowal of the Divine Love, and in the further Truth that Jesus was sent to show The Way to that Divine Love. That he, thereby, and in no other manner, became The Way, the Truth, and the Life.

I know that the acceptance of these Truths will take from them the very foundation of their beliefs. Many will refuse to accept my new declarations of Truth. Nevertheless, they must accept, for Truth is Truth, and never changes. Those who refuse to accept it on Earth, will, when they come to the Spirit World, have to accept it, or exist in a condition where they will see, and know, that their old beliefs were false, and rested on no solid foundation. The danger to many, will be that when they realize the utter falsity and non existence of what they believed to be True, they will become infidels, or wanderers in Spirit Life, without the hope of salvation, or of becoming Redeemed Children of God.

I fully realize the errors of my teachings on Earth. The responsibility that rests upon me for these teachings, which are still spreading. I am almost helpless to remedy them. So, I write this message, hoping that it may be published in your Book of Truths.

I, Luther, the one time monk and reformer, declare these Truths with all the emphasis of my soul, based on Knowledge, in which there is no shadow of error. Which I have acquired from experience, not founded on the claimed revelations to human by the voice of God. My Knowledge is True. Nothing in opposition can be True. The beliefs and faith of a human, or of all the inhabitants of Earth, cannot change the Truth, in one iota.

The Roman church, taught the communion of saints. I declare the communion of spirits and mortals, be they saints or sinners. That church taught the doctrine of purgatory and hell. I declare that there is a hell, and a purgatory, and that probation exists in both places, and that some time, in the long ages to come, both places will be emptied of their inhabitants. Some of whom will become Redeemed Children of God and dwellers in the Celestial Heavens. Others will become Purified in their Natural Love and inhabitants of the merely Spiritual Spheres.

I pray and desire that my followers may become inhabitants of the Celestial Heavens, and partake of the Divine Nature of the Father and Immortality. To them I say, hearken to the Truths, as Jesus has, and will, reveal them in his messages to you. For in the Truths, which he shall thus declare, they will find Life Eternal and the At-Onement with God, for which they have, for so many years been seeking, in darkness and disappointment.

I will not write more tonight. I will come again soon, and reveal other Vital Truths, if you will find for me the opportunity.

So with my Love and blessings, I am, your brother in Christ, Martin Luther.

May 29th, 1916

I am here, St. John, Apostle of Jesus.

    I come tonight to tell you a Vital Truth, which I know you will be interested in.

    The question has often been asked:  "What does the spirit of human do when it leaves the physical body for Eternity?''

    Many spirits, I know, have written you about this matter.  Some of them have described their personal experiences.  Yet, in all the information that you have received, there are some facts that have not been referred to.  I will, in a brief way, describe them.

    When the spirit leaves the body, there is a breaking of the Silver Cord, as it is called.  Thereby, all connection between the spirit and the body is severed for All Eternity.  Never again can that spirit enter that body.  Neither can any other spirit.  Although, I know, it is claimed by some Spiritualists that another spirit may inhabit the cast-off body.  This is all wrong.  No spirit ever enters the body, which has once been the home of another spirit.  Hence, claims made by some of the wise humans of the East, that such a thing can be, have no foundation in fact.

    When the Silver Cord is once severed, no power that is known to the Spirit World, or among spirits of the Highest Spheres, can again resuscitate that body, and cause the Manifestation of Life.  Hence, in the "miracles" mentioned in the Bible, where it is said that the dead were brought to Life, it must be understood, that this tie between the spirit and the body was never broken.

    In those ancient days, as now, there were persons who had the appearance of being dead.  So far as human knowledge was concerned, were dead.  But who were really in a state of what may be called suspended animation (coma).  No signs of Life appearing, to the Consciousness of humans, death was thought to have taken place.  Yet in no case, where the supposed dead were raised to Life, had the mortal really died.

    As Lazarus has already told you, when Jesus commanded him to come forth, he had not died.  So of all the other supposed dead who were called to Life.

    When this tie has been once severed, there are certain chemical Laws affecting the physical body, and certain Spiritual Laws affecting the spirit, which absolutely render it impossible for the spirit to again enter the body.  As you have been informed, we all, mortals, spirits, and angels as well, are governed by Laws, which have no exceptions, and never vary in their workings.

    So, I say, when once the spirit and body separate, it is for All Eternity.  The spirit then becomes, of itself, a thing apart, controlled entirely and exclusively by Laws governing the spirit body.

    With the spirit's entry into the Spirit World, comes the soul, still enclosed in that spirit body.  To an extent, controlled by that body, which latter is also, in certain particulars, controlled by the soul.  The spirit body has not, of itself, the power to determine its own location, or destiny, as regards place.  The Law of Attraction, which operates in this particular, operates upon the soul.  The condition of the soul determines the location of itself (in the Spheres of the Spirit World).  As the spirit body is the covering of the soul, it must go where this Law of Attraction (and the Law of Placement) decrees the soul shall abide.

    While the mind, the mental faculties, and the senses, have their seat in the spirit body, yet the Law that I speak of does not operate upon these faculties, as is apparent to every spirit, which they Know from observation, as well as from experience, that the combined power of all these faculties cannot move a spirit body one step in the way of progress, unless such faculties have, in their influence upon the soul, caused its condition to change.  In the matter of mere mental, or moral, advancement this can be done.

    So, I repeat, the condition of the soul determines the locality, as well as the appearance, of the spirit body.  This Law of Attraction is so exact, that in its operations, there is no opportunity for chance to interpose, and place the spirit body in a location, which is not its, by reason of the operation of this Law.

    So that when the spirit body enters the Spirit World it must go to, and occupy, the place, which its enclosed soul condition determines that it shall occupy.  No interposition of spirit friends, love of parent, husband, or child, can prevent this destiny.  Although for a time, until the soul has really had an Awakening as to its condition of severance from the Mortal Life, these relations, or friends, may retain the spirit body near the place of its entrance into the Spirit Life, even though that place be one of more beautiful surroundings and happiness than the one to which it is destined.  This situation does not last long, for the Law works.  As the soul comes into full Consciousness, it hears the call, and must obey.

    Thus, you see, friends and loved ones in Spirit Life meet with Love, kindness, and consolation, the newly arrived spirit.  But the parting must come.  Every soul must find its home, according as its own qualities (soul development) have determined.   Yet, the consolation mentioned is a real one.  In many instances, if it were not so, the lonely spirit would experience fear, bewilderment, and all the unspeakable sensations of being deserted.

    Then there comes a time, when every soul must stand alone, and in its weakness or strength, realize that no other soul can bear its sorrow, take from its burdens, or enter into its sufferings.  Thus is realized the saying:  "that each soul is its own keeper and alone responsible for its own condition".

    Of course, in many cases, the Loving friends may visit that soul in its place of existence and offer consolation, help, encouragement, and instruction.  In some cases this cannot be.  For as this soul is then laid bare to itself, all its deformities, sins, and evil qualities, come before it.  Thus, throws around it a wall, as it were, that prevents the good friends and Loving ones from appearing to it.  Thus again comes into operation the Great Law of Attraction.  For while these more elevated friends cannot come to that soul, yet other spirits, of like souls and qualities, may become its associates, and render such assistance as the blind can lead the blind in their moving about.  I wish here to say, notwithstanding, what some of you Spiritualistic teachers have said, for the soul has its location, as well as its condition.

    The above condition that I have described is the destiny of some souls shortly after becoming spirits.  It is a deplorable one.  You may think that such souls are deserted by the Loving Influences of God's Ministering Spirits, and left all alone in the dreary places of their habitations.  Such is not the case.  While they are deprived of the presence to them, of the Higher Spirits, yet the influences of Love and compassion are flowing from these spirits, and at sometime, will be felt by the lonely ones.  As these influences are felt, the poor souls commences to have an Awakening, which gradually causes the wall of their seclusion to disappear, until at sometime, the Higher Spirits find that they can manifest their presence to these unfortunate ones.  Besides, this, every spirit, no matter how fallen, has a work to do, even though it may appear insignificant.  Among these spirits of similar conditions, some are a little more progressed than others.  By reason of a Law (Law of Higher Help), which causes the more progressed to help the lesser, the latter are frequently helped from their low estate.

    Now what I have last written applies of course to the spirits who are wicked, vile, and without any soul development in the way of Goodness.  A similar Principle enters into the conditions of all the spirits in the Earth Plane.  Although, the higher they are in that plane, the greater opportunities they have for receiving help and progressing.  Of these latter, and the operation of the mental thoughts and Moral Qualities, upon the condition and progress of the soul, I will write you later.

    I have written enough for tonight.  Leaving you my Love and blessings, I will say goodnight.

Your brother in Christ, John.

May 29th, 1916

I am here, your own true and loving, Helen.

Well sweetheart, you have had some very important messages tonight. The Master says that you have received them in a very accurate and satisfactory manner, and that they need very little correction.

I am so glad that you are in such good condition tonight, and that your soul is so filled with the Divine Love of the Father. It has been a happy day for you and for me too. I have been with you a great part of the day, and entered into your happiness. Also the thoughts that you have had as to the Spirit World, and the Joys of the Redeemed.

I was with you at Mr. Morgan's. You did him much good by your conversation, and the influence, which you cast over him. I must tell you that there were present, human spirits of the High kind that were interested in your conversation, and influenced your thoughts of Things Spiritual.

The music at the church was very inspiring. I enjoyed your thoughts of Love for the Father, the Master, as well as for myself.

Question was asked.

They were present also, your mother and grandmother. They were happy in seeing that your thoughts were turned towards the Higher Things of Life. They were impressing you with their Loving thoughts, and trying to make you realize their presence.

Pray more to the Father. You will find that another sensation of Love will come to you, and Faith and joy. Love me too, for I Love you with all my heart and soul, and long to have you know that I am your own Loving soulmate, who will be yours through All Eternity.

Well, you have written enough for tonight and are tired. I will be with you in your sleep, and will try to carry you with me (into the Spirit World), and let you realize my Love.

Oh my Ned, how I Love you tonight. How dear you are to me. How I long for the time to come when you will be with me in my home. So sweetheart, Love me, think of me, and believe that in All God's Universe, there is no one that Loves you, as does your own True Soulmate.

So kiss me goodnight, and say that you love me. Yes, I am yours, now and always.

Goodnight and God bless you.

Your own True and Loving Helen.

June, 1st, 1916

I am here, your grandmother.

I thought that I might write you a message tonight, if you feel like receiving it.

The Only Way, in which the Salvation that can be obtained by human and make them of a Nature Divine is through the medium of the Holy Ghost, and The Way pointed out by Jesus. I will not here attempt to go into details as to the methods, for they have been fully explained to you. I must say, that no other methods can be pursued that will bring the soul of human in Unison with God, and make them of a Nature Divine.

No sacraments of baptism, or mere ceremony of the church, will enable a human to accomplish this end. In fact, such things frequently retard the soul of human from becoming in the Condition of Spiritual Development that places them in the position of a Redeemed Child of God.

I will not write much in detail, as to what human them self should do, in order to bring into operation the workings of the Holy Spirit. I will merely say, that they must pray, with the sincere longings of their soul, for the inflowing of the Father's Divine Love, and have Faith, that such Divine Love is a Real Thing, and that it comes to them in response to their prayers.

Now, to continue as to the Truth, that this Divine Love is waiting for All Humankind, no matter where the individuals of the race may be. That they can receive this Divine Love, even though they have never heard of the Plan of Salvation, as declared by Jesus (in these messages).

God Intended, when He Re-Bestowed this Divine Love, that every human being, as well as spirit, should have the opportunity to obtain it. That, the manner in which it might be obtained should be made known to All Humankind. In carrying out this Intention, He specially selected Jesus for this work. Who, through his own teachings to humankind, should learn of it.

Of course, during the short ministry of Jesus on Earth, it was impossible that all humans should learn of him through the teachings of himself, or of his disciples. Hence, the spirits of the World of Spirits were permitted to hear these teachings, and come into the Knowledge. Then, when they should obtain this Divine Love, to teach it to mortals, and spirits. Which they did, and have been doing ever since.

While they have been working all these centuries, to bring about this great consummation, yet they have not succeeded. For the reason, that they could not force the Truth of the Plan of Salvation upon either mortal, or spirit. Consequently, human in the exercise of their free will, and spirits also, in the exercise of their free will, unless they would open up their understandings of the soul qualities, supplemented by the exercise of their mental qualities, could not obtain this Divine Love. Just as on Earth, humans have refused to listen to those in Mortal Life, who have attempted to teach them of things religious (spiritual), so in the Spirit World, many spirits have, and are, refusing to listen to the teachings of other spirits, who have the Knowledge and possession of this Great Love. Mortals also, have failed to respond to the impressions, which spirits have been trying to make upon them, as to this Truth. As a consequence, were unable to open up their soul perceptions. Many mortals, as well as spirits, have never received the benefit of the Great Gift of Re-Bestowal.

Yet, as I have said, many have responded to these impressions. Even while on Earth, have had the inflowing of this Divine Love, to a more or less extent. Although, they may not have been conscious of the fact, in such a definite manner, as to Know, that what they had received was a portion of the Divine Love. Among the great obstacles to humans putting themselves in this condition of receptivity, are the creeds, mental beliefs and ceremonies obtaining in many of the churches of Christendom. And in many of the faiths and teachings of the races, which live outside of Christendom, which have never heard of this Great Plan of Salvation.

In the Spirit World, the followers of many of the faiths and creeds, distinct and different from one another, live together in communities, as separate races, still believing in their various creeds and teachings of their leaders. Have never heard of this Divine Love, or of the necessity of receiving it. Worship God according to their beliefs on Earth, satisfied that the doctrines, which they profess are the true and only ones. Absolutely refuse to listen to the spirits, who often try to teach the Truths, as to Eternal Life in the Celestial Spheres.

Of course, these spirits have the right, and the power, to refuse to listen to these Truths. And, are never compelled to. Then again, some of them will listen, and decline to believe that there is any other truths, than the ones that they have embraced.

Thus, you see, that while this Great Gift, the Divine Love, and Privilege of obtaining it, was bestowed upon all humans, and the Divine Love is ever ready to enter into their souls, yet a very large majority of spirits, and mortals, will never receive it, and become inhabitants of the many mansions. All humans, and spirits, will have the opportunity, before the Great Day of Final Separation. Many will not be willing to accept the Gift. Will be satisfied in the happiness of their Natural Love. Contented to live in their merely Spiritual Homes.

Here, let me say, because of the fact of the great variety of beliefs and teachings on Earth, as to the meaning of the Second Death, many humans, and spirits, will neglect to exercise their privilege of obtaining the Great Gift of the Divine Love, and suffer the Second Death. The Second Death will take place when that Great Separation occurs. The Gift of this Privilege of receiving the Divine Love of the Father, will again, be withdrawn from human and spirit. No other death is meant. For human and spirit will continue to live their mortal and spirit lives, without any other death, than that which is now constantly taking place. There will be no death, in the sense of condemning the spirit of human to eternal punishment, or the annihilation of any spirit, as is taught by some of your religious teachers. No, the only death, will be the death that the First Parents died, at the time of their disobedience, which was the deprivation of the Great Privilege of receiving the Divine Love, and thereby partaking of the Divine Nature of the Father, and Immortality.

Well my dear boy, I have written enough for tonight and will stop.

You have my Love, and my influence, to help you in every way. Also, my prayers to the Father for your Spiritual Development. So with my blessings, I will say goodnight.

Your loving Grandmother. (Ann Rollins)

June 1st, 1916

I am here, Your Helen.

Well sweetheart, I am so glad that your grandmother finished her message, for she was so anxious to do so. I know that you will enjoy the same.

I will not write more tonight, as I see that you are tired.

Your own True and Loving Helen.

June 3rd, 1916

I am here, Josephus.

I come tonight to write a few lines upon a subject in which you may be interested, as I have observed that recently you have been reading my History of the Jews. There are some things in that book, which require correction. I do not mean that I desire to correct the whole book, but I do want to say something on some of the subjects that you have been reading about.

Well, you will notice that I attempted to tell of the Creation of the World, and of human, and that what I said was taken from the Old Testament, and that I elaborated a little upon what is contained in Genesis.

My work was not taken entirely from the Old Testament, for in my time on Earth there were other books dealing with this subject that were entitled to just as much credence as was the Old Testament. From these books, I obtained much information, that is contained in my writings.

The truth of the things, which I wrote, I find now, to be not the Truth in many particulars, and should not be accepted as such. The description of the Creation of Human is not in accordance with the facts. The story, as related in the Old Testament, and by me, is not the True Story of the facts of such Creation.

I have not the time now to enter in detail, into a correction of the errors contained in these descriptions, except, that I wish to say a few words, as to the Creation of Human, and their fall.

They were not made of the dust of the ground, but were made of the elements that existed in the Universe, of a different order from the mere dust of the ground. Were so Created by God, for the purpose of forming the mere physical body of human. The two persons called Our First Parents, were Created at the same time, not one out of the rib of the other. Therefore, the man and the woman are equal in their dignity, and in the relationship, which they bear to God. The one is of just as much importance in the Sight of God as is the other. One was Created stronger physically, than the other, and was given a stronger mentality, for the exercise of the reasoning powers, and the workings of the physical organs of the body. The other, while weaker in these particulars, yet was given more of the Spiritual and Emotional Nature, and an intuition, by which she could understand the Existence of Things, just as accurately, and more quickly, than could the man by the exercise of his reasoning power. One was just as the other, as respects the Gifts Bestowed. Together, they were the Perfect Pair; male and female were they Created, with diverse functions and duties to perform, in the Perfect Workings of the Laws of God.

Power and Love were theirs. Neither were made the superior of the other, nor was the one to be subject to the other. Had it not been for their fall, there never would have been the subjection of the female to the male.

When the First Disobedience took place, and the consequent fall, the qualities of the Spiritual were taken from them (or rather, lost) to a large extent. The animal qualities, as they may be called, asserted themselves. Then the male felt his superiority, by reason, of the fact that he possessed a greater amount of these animal qualities. The female became subordinated, and continued to be ever afterwards. The male, not having these Spiritual Qualities, to the extent that his mate possessed them, and not being able to realize the greater existence of these qualities in the female, believed that the physical was the superior, as he possessed the physical to a larger degree than his companion did. He determined that he was the superior, therefore asserted this superiority. The female, observing that this physical superiority did exist, submitted herself unto the male, and so continued until now.

As human degenerated, this domination of the male intensified. In some parts of the Earth, the female became nothing better, in the sight of the dominant man, than one of the lower animals. This degradation continued, until human found the lowest place of their degeneracy. When the turning point came, the qualities of the woman came to be more recognized. But very slowly. For many thousand years, this inequality continued, and man remained the master.

As human evolved from this low condition, and the Moral Qualities began to come more into their consciousness, the animal nature became less dominant, the condition of the female commenced to improve. As education came into the Life and practices of humans, woman's opportunities became more extended. She was more and more recognized as approaching the equal of her companion. In some countries of the Earth, her equality was recognized, but not in many.

The Jews recognized the equality of the woman in all matters pertaining to the home or the domestic life. Continued the distinction, which had previously existed only in respect to public affairs, and the qualities of the mind. Women were not permitted, even by them, to develop their mental faculties, and were taught that they were things that belonged to the male, in all matters pertaining to the state, or religion, of the race.

The consequence of this Course of Life was, that the woman developed the Spiritual Qualities, which were hers to a larger extent. Her refinement, emotional Nature and Love Principle, exceeded those of the man, to a great degree. She became, in her soul, nearer the image of the Divine.

I have noticed that this progress has continued with the passing of the years. Now, in some of the nations of Earth, the equality of the woman has become recognized. Notwithstanding the fact, that the laws of these countries did not permit her to exercise the rights of man, as she is his equal only in the home, or in social life.

A time will come, when she will be recognized, not only by the individual man, but also by the human made Laws, as his equal in every particular. The further fact will appear that she will be his superior, in matters pertaining to the Spiritual.

As the time approaches when human shall return to their former State of Purity and Harmony with the Laws of God, the Spiritual Qualities will assert themselves. The animal (qualities) will become subordinated. Woman will stand before God, and man, as the latter's equal, and in these soul qualities, his superior. For in the beginning, in this particular, she was his superior. That superiority existed only in order that what, in this regard, was lacking in man, was supplied by the woman. The Perfect Pair was One.

You may think that this is a digression from what I first intended to write. So it is. I thought the occasion a proper one to tell humankind the future of the two integral parts of the Perfect Creation of God.

I will not write more tonight, but sometime will come again and write.

So with my Love, I will say goodnight, our brother in Christ, Josephus.

June 3rd, 1916

I am here, your own true Helen.

Well, my dear one, you have had a message from Josephus that may be considered a women's rights argument. I have no doubt that womankind will agree with him. Especially, as to his prediction as to what the future of women will be.

This may be all True. The predictions may come to pass. I do not know. This I do know; that as regards the Divine Love of the Father, and the conditions in the Celestial Heavens, there is no distinction made between the man and the woman, except as the individual soul development makes the distinction. When you consider the further fact that the two parts of the One Soul (as Created, soulmates), represented by the male and the female, must, in order to make the Perfect One, become united in Perfect Harmony, you can readily understand that there will be no superiority of one over the other. That both must be equal, not only in Divine Love, and the Nature of the Divine, but in every other quality that may exist.

So, in my opinion, instead of women and men thinking about women's rights, and such matters, they should devote their thoughts and aspirations to obtaining the Divine Love in their souls, with the certain Knowledge, that as they obtain It in equal degrees, they will become not only the equal of one another, but will become so very equal that they will exist as One, though in two individual forms and personalities.

Of course, I recognize the importance of the equality of both being recognized on Earth, for the purposes of earthly existence. Yet, humankind will find that as this Divine Love of the Father enters more into souls of humans, or even as the Natural Love becomes more purified, the rights of women, as to things material, will become recognized without the enactment of any laws declaring the equality of the sexes. For Love is an equalizer, more powerful than any laws that man can make.

I will not write more on this subject, for when Love comes, it will not be necessary that law shall declare the equality, as that Love, will of itself, make them so in Harmony that inequality cannot exist.

Well, I intended to write you a long letter tonight, but as others have written, and it is late, I will not try.

Your own True and Loving Helen.

June 4th, 1916

I am here, St. Luke, writer of the third Gospel that was.

I desire tonight to write a short message on the question: "What is the use in believing in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as a salvation from sin?"

I know that this belief is at the foundation of the so-called christian religion, and is the cornerstone of most of the churches as they now exist. As such a belief is false, and does not effectuate the object claimed for it, I must declare the utter uselessness of such a belief, and the great harm it is doing to humankind.

A thing is just what it internal qualities make it. I mean by this, what the ingredients of its composition causes it to really be, and these ingredients cannot be supplied, unless they have in themselves, an existence of those qualities, which are sufficient to make that composition just what is necessary and required, to produce the thing in its Genuine Substance.

This applies to things of the soul. Unless the qualities of the soul are such, as to eliminate the elements of sin, and everything that prevents that soul from coming into Harmony with the Laws of God, that soul will continue in sin and separation from the Divine Nature of the Father.

The soul is in each individual an entity, which is distinct and separate from the soul of every other human! It is dependent for its qualities, not in what that other human may do, or not do, but upon that, which will make those qualities like, or in substance, the same, as the qualities of that thing, which is desired or sought for, as a necessary acquirement in making the substance of that possessed and that desired, similar.

According to the belief of which I speak, the sacrifice mentioned causes the salvation of human by appeasing the wrath of God, and lifting from human the condemnation under which they were suffering. By accomplishing such an object, human became a new creature in their soul qualities, and were given the qualities that are required to make them like unto the Father. Therefore, they, human, have nothing further to be done for them, in order to relieve them entirely from the possession of this sin, and from the demands of God. The sacrifice is sufficient to bring about these results.

As we have told you, and as even the followers, or possessors, of these beliefs assert, Divine Love is the great necessity to effectuate the Union between God and human. This Divine Love must dwell in the soul of human, as well as in the Bosom of the Father, waiting its bestowal on human.

It can be obtained only by sincere seeking on the part of human. No other Way is provided, by which it can be obtained. The sacrifice, or the shedding of blood, does not cause the inflowing of this Divine Love into the souls of humans. The mere fact, even if it were true, that an angry god had been appeased, or debt paid, or a mortal is redeemed, would not cause this Divine Love to become a part of the souls of humans.

I know that it is asserted, that these things, in some mysterious way, reconciles God to human, and thereby causes the acceptance of human by God. When that is done, all the sins and depravity of a human's soul immediately become no longer a part of their soul's qualities, the soul is perfected, and its condition is that, which enables it to become of a nature like that of the Father.

A difficulty with this conclusion is; that only Jesus and God are the one's that are participating in this great work of redemption. Human is eliminated from the necessity of doing anything, except to believe that the sacrifice is sufficient to cause their full salvation, and all that it means.

How this belief, that the sacrifice, or the flowing of the blood, can make a sinful soul pure, or become a partaker of the Divine Nature of the Father, has never been explained by the teachers of the christian doctrines, in any way that is consonant with reason. Cannot be so explained. For the one reason, that is of itself sufficient. That is; that the sacrifice does not work such a consummation. No one human, not even Jesus, can do the work of another, or for another that will produce the results necessary, to insure the reconciliation mentioned.

It is claimed, that Jesus died to save all humans from their sins, or that they that believeth on the name of Jesus shall be saved from their sins. The question again arises; how? In what way? Can it be argued that his death made the impure human clean, even though they believed it did? Can his blood shed on Calvary cleanse the soul of any human? I know that it is claimed, that in some mysterious way it does. But no one explains the how.

Can anyone of the great theological teachers tell you, by what mysterious, or other process, this blood operates on the Mercy or Love of God, so that the sinner is saved from their sins, or from the penalties, which the violation of God's Laws entail? I know that they cannot. For the same reason as before stated, that the blood does not accomplish these results. Then what is the use in accepting such belief, when it cannot be understood, or explained, and is the blindest of blind beliefs of mortals?

No, no sacrifice of Jesus, no shedding of his blood, and no vicarious atonement, as it is called, can save a human soul from sin, or bring it into the Divine Love of the Father, or cause it to become a partaker of the Divine Nature. We have already, in previous messages, declared and explained to you what and what only, brings to humans salvation. I will not here repeat. I will say this, that "except a human be born again, they cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." Nothing less is sufficient. Nothing added to, can in any way, bring about human's salvation.

I will not write more tonight, as what I have said should cause humans to think, and understand, upon what false and baseless foundation they stand, when they rely upon the belief in Jesus sacrifice to save them from their sin.

With all my Love and blessings I will say, goodnight.

Your brother in Christ, Luke.

I am here, Lillian Summer.

I am here, the woman who lost her soul to preserve her standing in society while on Earth. I was a woman who never thought of Things Spiritual, or of the Future Life. I lived only for the pleasures of the present.

I had everything that money could buy, and never knew what trouble, in the way of desiring and not getting, meant. I had an indulgent husband, and lovely children, who made my home very happy, and who loved me with all the Love of their Natures. Of course, I Loved them. I did not feel the necessity of any other Love. Nor did I really know of any greater or Higher Love.

Of course, I attended church, listened to the sermons of the preachers, and enjoyed them as intellectual treats. As to appealing to my soul, I never once, as I can remember, experienced any sensation, other than what came from the exaltation of my mind. My children were sent to Sunday school and learned what the teachers tried to instruct them in. At home they had no religious teachings, as I never had any religious experience myself.

My husband was not an attendant at church, knew nothing of the Higher Things of Life, and was satisfied to make money, so that his family could have all the comforts of home. We had a happy home in our Love and associations. Never felt that there was any other happiness that might be ours, other than that which we had.

Now, I realize the want of this Spiritual conception of my being, and the great joy that I am deprived of, because of my want of knowledge of the things of the soul. I had a Love Nature. I loved most people with whom I came in contact in a society way. Yet this Love was more or less unconsciously given. My great ambition was to become a society leader, the admiration and possibly envy of my friends.

Now, I see the falsity of it all. How little of the ambitions of life, in the particulars mentioned, weighed in the standing and happiness of the spirits in this World of revelation and nakedness. I am naked, as regards all the thoughts and acts of my Life. Very seldom do I see anything that helps my present condition.

I merely write you this, that possibly someone who is living the Life that I lived may read it, and turn her thoughts to the Essentials, and let all these things of the earthly become secondary and of minor importance.

My name was Lillian Summer. I lived in Richmond, Virginia, and died in 1902.

I thank you for permitting me to write, as it has made me feel better and more at home.

I will say goodnight. Lillian Summer.

June 6th, 1916

I am here, Kate Stone.

Let me write just a line or two, for while so much Love is present. I want to enjoy it, and tell my brother that Mr. Morgan is not the only one on Earth who has a mother, sisters, and soul mate's love (from the Spirit World).

I have not written often to him, but have been present many, many times when others were writing their Messages of Love. While I was not writing, I was impressing him with my Love. I know that he felt it, for I could see his emotions, and the return of his soul Love to me, as he received mine.

Of course, the sister's Love is not so great, or of the same quality, as the soul mate's. Or even that of the mother's Love. Yet, it is a Love that is all pure and unselfish, and carries with it the influences that can come only from a soul that has received the Purification and Great Joy of the Father's Divine Love.

I do love my brother, as we all do. I try so hard, and so often, to cause him to realize that my poor little sister's Love is flowing to him in all its fullness.

I know that he has a great deal of, not only the Natural Love, but also of the Divine Love as well. If he could only know how happy it makes us to realize that he possesses this Divine Love, and is constantly seeking for more, he will try all the harder to get more of it. We can see his soul condition. To us, it is just as naked and open to our soul's vision, as is the souls of spirits one to another. Nothing can be hid from us.

So you see, from what I say, that he cannot pretend to Love his soulmate, for she knows exactly what Love he has in his heart for her. When he tells her that he Loves her, she knows to just what extent. So with the rest of us.

All of us are very happy, and constantly progressing in our Soul Development, and in happiness. While this is so, we do not forget him, or our brothers and sisters on Earth. I am sorry to say, that they do not know of this Divine Love. We are trying so hard to impress them with the Knowledge of its existence, and the fact that it is waiting for them. We know that some day they will have an Awakening, and receive it. We do not think it possible that such Divine Love as ours can be with them so constantly, seeking to influence them, and not, in the end, bring to them a consciousness that the other Love is waiting for them. We have a great deal of Faith. The Master tells us our prayers will be answered, and he knows. What a precious brother and friend he is! How he seems to Love you, and your friends.

When mother, father, and the rest of the family here get together, we often wonder, and try to understand, why the Master should have selected you as the recipient of his Love to such an extent, and for his disciple to do the great work, that must be done, for the Salvation of Humankind.

Oh, we are all so thankful and happy that such a thing has come to you. You, my dear, dear brother, must try to appreciate what it means to you, and to others.

The Master is with you quite often. When you and your friends get together, he comes to you, and casts upon you his Love and blessings, and also come many High and Wonderful spirits, with their Love and influences of Happiness and Peace.

So listen to your sister, who was not very wise on Earth, but who now Knows the Wonderful Things that come to her with the inflowing of the Father's Divine Love.

When she tells you to pray more, let your Faith increase, and when doubts come to you, turn your thoughts to the Father. Ask His Help and Blessings. They will come to you. You will know it. Divine Love will become a part of your very existence. The happiness that you will receive will be only a forecast of what is waiting for you when you become one of us in our glorious homes in the skies.

I must not write more now. In closing, will say that we all Love you, and are all with you, and pray to the Father that His Divine Love and Blessings may come to you in increasing streams of Purity, and Joy also, which only He can Give.

With all my Love, I am your own dear and Loving sister, Kate.

P.S. This is to me a wonderful and most beautiful message and gives me much happiness and consolation. Leslie R. Stone.

June 8th, 1916

I am here, your own Helen.

Tonight everything seems favorable to my writing you my promised message. I will try.

Of course, you must expect to find some expressions of Love in it, for I could not write you if I did not tell you how much I Love you, and how happy I am when you Love me and want me to be with you.

Well, sweetheart, I am now in the Celestial Sphere with your grandmother, though not in as High a Plane as she. I have not so much of the Divine Love as has she. Yet my happiness is so great that I can hardly realize myself what it means. It is impossible to tell you of the beauties of my home and surroundings. I have tried, when I was in a lower Sphere, to describe to you my home. I did it very inadequately, giving you only a glimpse of what it really was. Now, if you could increase that description a hundredfold, you would have no conception of the beauty and glory of my present home, and the wonders that surround it.

I so often wish that you had words in your language that could be used to fully describe what this new home means to me, or even the one that I just left. As you have not, you will have to be content with knowing, that if you should take all the imagery of the Revelation, and add to it the sum total of all the beautiful descriptions of places, homes and scenery that the whole range of your English literature contains, you would have but a faint idea of what really exists. Besides, the Great Increase in the Divine Love that I possess and enjoy, and the beautiful, Loving and holy spirits, whom I have for my companions, make this home of mine truly one of the Mansions of the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus referred to in the Bible. Only the mansions that he there spoke of, were not necessarily like the one that I have. The mansions in the Celestial Heavens vary according to the Soul Development of their occupants.

I sometimes think, that a very few years ago I was on Earth, without much Soul Development, and very little Knowledge of the Things of God. Now, I have that development, and knowledge of those things, that fit me for these glorious mansions of the Celestial Spheres. How wonderful it all is! How I thank the Father for His Goodness and Mercy, and for having given to humankind such a Loving and glorious saviour as Jesus.

I do not forget that you had something to do with my starting on this Great Journey of Progress. I remember that when I first came to you, things of the material were very attractive to me. My appetites of Earth had not left me. How, when I displayed some of these desires for the material things, you rebuked me, and tried to point the way to the Higher Things. Although, I know now that your advice came from your merely mental conceptions of what I should strive for, as at that time, you had very little knowledge of the things of the soul, and scarcely any Soul Development.

Your Christian training as a child, and the conceptions that had come to you from these instructions, taught you that in the Spirit World, there must be something Higher, and beyond the mere earthly conditions of human, where Purer Joy, and Happier Lives might be found and lived. Your Love for me was such that you desired that I should find and possess these things, if possible. I have never forgotten what you then said to me, although at the time I thought you were unkind, and not so anxious for my happiness. Long ago, I had come to me the knowledge of the motive that actuated your advice. Much happiness has come to me from that knowledge and recollection.

Only a little thought of Love, and an earnest desire on the part of mortal for the spirit, when it is directed in the way of the soul's progress, sometimes work a greater result than the conquering of a city. It means the salvation of a soul, which is of more value than all the cities of the Earth combined.

While I am writing in this strain, I wish to say that one of the greatest benefits, or possessions, that can come to a mortal, is to have a mother, husband, or wife in whose bosom glows the Divine Love of the Father. Even though very faintly. That little spark of Divine Love, to its own degree, makes that soul a part of the Divine Essence of the Father's Divine Love. Its influence upon the possessor causes an atmosphere of Love, and help, to be felt by all who have the relationship to such possessor of a child, wife, or husband. Christian instructions though mixed with dogmas and creeds that may all be wrong, yet will benefit, as in them, are some thoughts that may Awaken the soul to a condition that will let in some portion of the Higher Love, which will remain, though dormant, until the time comes when something will arouse the dormant Love to action and Life.

This benefit passes with mortal to Spirit Life. The influence of the teachings, or rather the accompanying impressions of the Christian mother, etc., to help such a spirit to realize its True Condition, and to start on its progress to the attainment of the Higher Things of the soul. No wealth, riches, or position that a mortal may inherit, can possibly equal the influence of that one little spark in the Christian mother, who possesses some portion of the Divine Love. There is none so poor as the spirit who comes into the Spirit World without any recollection of having, at some time in its Earth Life, received in its soul the influence of that little spark.

So I say, the human who has a Christian mother or wife, who has, at some time in their Earth career, taught them to turn their thoughts to God, and to pray, even though that human in Afterlife forsakes such thoughts and prayers, is a very fortunate being. In the Spirit Life, they have with them the memories of their Earth Life. Nothing is lost. Among these memories will be the influence of their mother's teachings, and their own prayers. While they will have to satisfy the Law of Compensation, yet these recollections of these thoughts and prayers will come to them, sooner or later, will help them, in their progress to Higher Conditions. You must remember, as has been often told you, that all souls will ultimately reach the Planes of Purification of their Natural Love, or the Glories of the Spheres where only the Divine Love exists.

After I commenced to receive into my soul, this Divine Love, I became very anxious to increase its possession. My progress was very rapid, as they tell me. As I progressed from Sphere to Sphere, ever were there coming to me new wonders, Great Happiness, and the disappearance of those things, which belonged to my Mortal Life. No one, who has not experienced this progress, can understand what it means. How the happiness increases. Also, the longings for more. Yet the astonishing fact is; that notwithstanding these longings, the contentment of the spirit is Perfect. No unhappiness, because of longings yet to be fulfilled exists.

As you know, when I entered the Spirit World, I was met by your mother, and others. All fear, or confusion, that usually arises from the change, which so-called death brings to the spirit left me. In fact, never came to me. I was as tenderly cared for, as you can conceive of. Ever, thereafter, while I could not go to the home of your mother, yet she, and others, were with me often enough to keep me from much darkness and suffering, though I did experience some darkness and suffering.

The influence of their Love was with me. They earnestly, and lovingly, told me of the Great Love of the Father. How I might get it, become happy, and start on my upward progression. Your father came to me also, with his cheer and help, and showed me, that upon myself, to a certain extent, depended my being able to get into the Light. He was so good and kind to me, that I Loved him at once, although, I had never seen him in Earth Life.

From all this, can you wonder that I did not remain very long in the lower planes? I tell you that the Love, tenderness and influence, of the Beautiful and Loving Spirits, who have some of God's Divine Love in their souls, are things that can take away the terror of death, and make a spirit who has just left their mortal home, almost happy.

If humans could only realize the fact, that by attempting to get into their hearts, good thoughts and longings of Love, so that these beautiful spirits could be attracted to them, their entrance and reception in the World of Spirits, would become one, even if not of happiness, yet of freedom from fear and loneliness. So, I advise all mortals to so live, as to attract friends on the Spirit Side of Life, that can come to them in the times of the great change, and comfort and help them.

Now, I do not mean by this that such spirits of mortals will not have to endure the darkness and suffering, which the conditions of their souls demand they should endure, but their entrance into the Spirit World will be as I say.

Well, sweetheart, I have written a quite long letter. You must be a little tired. I must further write, and tell you that all this happiness that I have spoken of may be yours. As your soulmate, I believe, and almost know, that it will be. While you are a mortal, no matter how long the years may be, you will have with you, my Love, and longings for your coming, and my prayers to the Father for a Great Bestowal upon you of His Divine Love. Besides all this, you know that you have surrounding you, the Loves of those who are Higher than I, and who possess so much more of this Divine Love.

Oh, it will be a happy day for me when you do come. I know that you will be happy, also. Just think that as your eyes close, in what the preachers call the last sleep, I will be with you. When you awake, I will be with you. The only thing that will greet your newly awakened vision will be my eyes, so filled with Love and joy that you will almost want to die over again, just for the sake of having the Awakening.

I remember that when on Earth, you thought my arms were very beautiful, and loved to have them around you. Thought yourself happy. When you come to me again, you will find arms so much more beautiful, clasping you to a bosom that you cannot dream of. Eyes looking into your eyes with so much Love and Happiness, that you will, for the first time in all your Life, know what happiness means. Then, when I tell you that I am all yours and that never again will cruel death, as it is called, separate us, and that only Love, pure, unselfish and never-dying, will be ours, without any lessening, or disturbing by jealousy, or tiresomeness, you will wonder if you have really Awakened from that last sleep, or are only dreaming. Then I will give you a long, sweet kiss of Love, that you will know that it is all Real.

Oh, my Ned, I do Love you. I want you to Love me, with all your heart! The time will not be long now, until we shall be together in our Spirit Life, when your cares and worries of Life will not longer trouble you.

Sweetheart, you must pray to the Father for a greater inflowing of His Divine Love and Blessings. Upon the development of your soul, depends our continuous living together, and progress.

I will be with you tonight while you sleep. I am so filled with Love, that I know I shall call your spirit from your body, and carry it with me to purer Planes, where we can, for a few moments, enjoy the bliss of living together, without the encumbrance of your body. You may not remember it when you awake, but I will know, and will tell you of it when next I write.

So, sweetheart, give me my goodnight kiss.

Your own True and Loving Helen.

June 11th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I come tonight according to promise. I 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 Spirit 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 appetites and desires, did it lose its Purity, and become contaminated by sin and error. Ever since that time, it has remained in such condition of impurity and alienship to God and His Laws (of Love and Harmony).

This impurity has been the lot of each succeeding generation of humans, and has never been eradicated from human's souls, notwithstanding all the Moral Instructions that human has acquired. Still there has 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, them self, will have to be an important, working factor. For human is the Highest of God's Creations, 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. 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.

June 11th, 1916

I am here, Helen.

Well, I am sorry that you could not continue the writing, for the Master was very anxious to write the whole message tonight.

Well, you were not in condition. It was hard work for the Master to control your hand and brain. It may be that your brain was tired. He could not transmit the thoughts. You may have better success next time.

He understands, and says that you must not feel bad about it.

Goodbye for a while.

Your own True and Loving Helen.

June 13th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I intended to finish my discourse tonight. It is now too late. I will have to postpone it.

Well, there are cases where such results follow. It is not astonishing that it is so. These mediums, who surrender their own faculties, wills and moral powers, will find spirits take control of them. These spirits do not hesitate to use these mediums, for any and all purposes, that they may desire. These desires are mostly injurious and detrimental to the mediums, both morally and Spiritually.

In such cases of spirit control, the mediums absolutely submit their mental and will powers to the domination of these spirits. When once such spirits get control, they are never satisfied, and care not for the conditions of the mediums. Such being the case, the mediums suffer. The mediumship, which you have, is not of such a character, as to permit any spirit who may write through you, to obtain that control of your mental faculties, as will enable them to exercise their wills and powers in a way that will prevent you from exercising yours as you desire. They do not become your masters, but are subordinate to your will, and cannot use you for the purposes mentioned, unless you so incline.

The exercise of your phase of mediumship will not do you harm. You need not fear the results. In fact, it is necessary that your mental faculties should become vivified, and enlarged, in order for you to do the work. The greater development you have, the more you will be enabled to do our work, in a more satisfactory manner.

I know the substance of the book that you have been reading, and the falsity of these speculations that assert the Doctrine of Re-Incarnation. There is no such thing as the second embodiment of the soul into the human form. No return to Earth, for the purpose of improvement of the soul's condition. So try to be in condition. We will continue the writing of my messages.

With all my Love and blessings, I am, your brother and friend, Jesus.

June 17th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I see that you are in better condition tonight. It may be that we can continue the message.

Well, as I was saying, the only way in which a mortal may obtain the development of their soul condition, without the help of the Divine Love, is by attempting to exercise their will, in the way that will cause the thoughts of evil and error to leave them. To be replaced by thoughts that will bring their heart and soul into Harmony with the Laws of their Creation as mere human. This can be done, by their seeking for those Higher Things of Morality. The subordinating of the purely animal desires and appetites of the mortal, to the aspirations and desires of the Higher and Nobler part of their Nature (soul).

As I have before told you, human was Pure and Good, until they, by the exercise of their will, following the suggestions of the animal desires, permitted them self to degenerate from the High and Perfect Condition of their Creation.

These sins and desires do not belong to their Original Nature. Their True Nature was Pure, and in Harmony with the Laws of God. Although, they have lost it, by the excessive and wrongful exercise of their will, obeying the desires of their animal Nature. Yet, they can recover their Condition of Original Purity and Harmony, if they will get rid of these sins and errors, so that their True Nature may again become free from everything that defiles it, or places it out of Harmony, with the Laws that Created it.

So you see, it is not necessary for human to obtain, or add to, their Original Condition, any qualities that were not theirs in the beginning. Merely to get rid of, or eradicate from that condition, those things, which are mere excrescences, or parasites. Thereby have their Nature in the same condition that was theirs when they were Created, and was the Perfect Human.

So long a time, has the Nature, or condition of the Nature of Human, been in this state of defilement and alienation from the True Condition of their Creation, that the effort to bring about the restoration will necessarily be great. They will have to use all their power of will that they are capable of, to effectuate this object. They will find in such efforts; two conflicting forces, always fighting each other for the mastery.

The fact that they believe their present condition is the natural one, and that the state, Purity, and freedom, from sin and error is one that does not belong to them Naturally, but must be acquired, by adding something to what they now have. and always possessed, will make the fight more uneven.

Therefore, the First Things; that human must believe is: that their present condition is not their Natural One. And, that they have nothing more, or greater, to accomplish than to relieve them self of those things, which prevent their condition from becoming as it was, when they were The Perfect Human.

If they will get this belief firmly fixed in their mind, and assert that; they were made by God, that God never Created anything impure, or not in Harmony with His Laws, then they, human, will have accomplished the First Step towards their Regeneration, and towards success in their effort.

They must not consider themselves to be, a weak, low, and UNWORTHY Creature of God, not being entitled to those conditions of Purity and Greatness, which made them the Beloved Child of the Father. Of course, self-esteem, pride, and everything of that nature, must be eliminated from the estimate that they must have of them self. On the contrary, the idea that they are degenerated, and utterly helpless being, MUST NOT be permitted to enter their mind (and is not True Humility). Such thoughts do not make them pleasing to God, as they have been taught they do. Only make them subservient to their masters, of sin and error, and prevent them from asserting their own superiority to these things, which is necessary to exist in their conception of their True Condition, in order that they may obtain the ascendancy over those masters.

When they shall have assumed this position, then, they will realize, that these animal appetites, desires, and evil thoughts, which arise from them, and from the belief that they are, by Nature, degraded and unworthy of a better and Higher Condition of Nature, are really beings of their own creation. Subject to their will, self control, and total destruction.

With such Realization, will come a Consciousness, that they are not parts of their Nature. But foreign to it. That in order that their Nature may become separated from them; they must look upon them as enemies, and treat them as such, to be destroyed and utterly extinguished. Never more to be taken to their bosom, and cherished as inalienable and dominant parts, of their Nature.

Of course, in treating them as such enemies, great watchfulness and determination will have to be exercised. They are very insidious, will at all times, and in all ways, whenever the opportunity arises, try to convince them that they are an integral, and necessary, part of their being, incapable of being separated from them.

By the exercise of this belief, based upon a "right conception" of what is, and what is not, a part of them, as The Perfect Human, and by the exercise of their will power, in accordance with this conception, they will be able to rescue them self from these unnatural appetites, desires, and thoughts, of error and sin.

As this belief becomes stronger, and this conception clearer, and their will, exercised in closer Harmony with the Two Essentials, these excrescences will gradually, and one by one, fall away from them. Until, at last, they will rise again, The Perfect Human, with the Pure and Harmonious Nature, which God gave them, at the time of their Creation.

This process will be slow, sometimes hardly perceptible. The long years of misbelief, in the Idea of Original Sin, and the idea that God created evil and error, for the purpose of defiling human's Nature, and making a disobedient devil of them, without any inherent goodness, or the possibility of becoming regenerated, unless by the operation of some miracle, will make it difficult for the acquiring of the True Belief, as to what they, and what their Nature is, and enable them to become the master, and not remain the servant.

God is the Father of All. Loves All His Children! As He Originally provided for their happiness, so now, He Desires that all may be happy. Even though, they may not seek for that Divine Love, which makes mortals and spirits, more than the mere Perfect Human.

Forgiveness is, in effect, forgetfulness. When humans, in their efforts, cause all these things of evil and sin to cease being a part of their Nature (soul), and only thoughts of Purity and Righteousness to find a lodgment in their minds, then these other things are forgotten. Forgiveness has taken place. Human no longer is the slave of false beliefs and unrighteousness, nor are they their associates. Even in memory, they become things of nonexistence. When they get into this Condition of Purity and Freedom, in Harmony with the Laws of their Creation, there exists nothing, which can be the object of forgiveness. They are the Human of Perfect Creation.

In all this, human must realize, that they do not exist by, and for, them self, alone. Always, they are surrounded by mortals, or spirits, or both, exercising upon them their influence for good, or evil. Helping them to turn their thoughts from these things of evil and sin into those Higher Things, which are theirs by Nature, or causing them to receive and foster these evil thoughts with increased intensity. They cannot get rid of these influences, of one kind, or the other. Hence, they should seek the influence of those who are Good, and desire to help them in their efforts towards the recovery of that condition, which is theirs, by Right of Birth.

Among God's Laws, which never change, and which work impartially, is the Great Law of Attraction. It works in the case of all mortals, and spirits, and never rests. The Great Principle of this Law is, that like attracts like, and the unlike, repulses the unlike. So human must know, that as they are, I mean in their state of mind and soul, so necessarily will be their companions, of those who desire their association. Hence, they should realize this Important Truth, and all that it implies.

If their thoughts and deeds are evil, they will attract those spirits, or mortals, who have similar thoughts and deeds. Who will NOT help them to Higher Things, but who will retard their progress towards their First Estate. If their thoughts and deeds are Good, then their associates will only be those of like qualities, who can, and will, help them in their progress.

Every effort to create good thoughts strengthens the desires and will in that direction assists the coming of other good thoughts. With these efforts, come the help of these unseen influences, and the repulsion of the influences of the retarding forces.

Human is a Wonderful Being, the Highest Creation of the Father. Yet their greatest master is their belief in the power and supremacy of these things of evil, of their own creation.

Beyond all this, a means to accomplish human's restitution to their Perfect Estate is the Help of the Father, which is never refused when human, seeks for it, in earnest sincere prayer. Always, the Father is willing to respond to the True Prayers of human. By His Instrumentalities will make the efforts of human, sure and effective. So that they can acquire that condition, that will free them from all sin, error, and slavery of false belief, in the mastery of their evil creatures.

Human must believe in the Love and Help of the Father, and in the humanhood and greatness of them self, and in the utter error of their belief in the mastery of their own children of sin and error.

I have written enough and must stop, as you are tired. So assuring you of my Love for you, and my care and help, I will say, goodnight.

Your brother and friend, Jesus.

I am here, Luther.

    I come tonight to say that I would like to write again very soon, as I desire to write further in the line of thought of my last message.

   I see that you are too tired to write tonight.  I will not ask you to do so.  If you can soon give me the opportunity to write, I will be much obliged.

    Yes, I know.  I enjoyed his message, and believe that it will be readily understood.  What a Master he is!  So beautiful, powerful, and loving!

Your brother in Christ, Luther.

I am here, your own true and loving Helen.

Well, my own dear Ned, you have had a very entertaining letter from the Master tonight. I am glad that you were in condition to receive it so well. He said that you were very successful. He is pleased.

Goodnight. Your own True and Loving Helen.

June 19th, 1916

I am here, John.

I come tonight to tell you that you are in a better condition than you were last night. I desire to write a short message, if you think that you can receive it.

Well, I will not write very long. What I shall say will have to do with "the condition of the soul when, and after, the Divine Love flows into it."

As you know, the soul, in the condition in which human possesses it, before the entrance of the Divine Love, is not in accord with the Divine Love of God, nor is it a part of the Great Oversoul. It is only a "Special Creation" made in the image of the Father, having in it the Natural Love, which was conferred upon human at the time of their Creation, and not having in it, any part of the Divine Essence of the Father, or any quality that makes it of the Divine Nature of the Father, or necessarily Immortal (as the Father is Immortal).

When the Divine Love enters into it, and it becomes permeated, as it were, with the Divine Essence, then it takes on the Divine Nature of the Father. To the extent that it receives, and possesses, this Divine Love, it becomes At-One with God, and ceases to be a mere image. Becomes, transformed into the Substance. The soul in this condition is altogether a different entity from the soul in the condition in which it was Created. No longer is subject to the dominion of either the mind, or of the animal appetites and desires. Hence, the spirit possessing such a soul is, in Essence, a part of the Father, or as Jesus said; "is in the Father and the Father in it".

Now, do not understand that such a soul, is the soul that human originally possessed, with increased development of Purity and Goodness, or freedom from sin. Because, such is not the case. Such soul, by such Transformation, becomes a New Thing. Never again can it relapse into the soul of Human's Origin. Because of the Qualities that it then possesses, it becomes Immortal. Such Immortal Nature can never be taken from it. It is now a Thing of Divine Love and Purity, and Consciousness of its True Condition, is always with the spirit that has such soul. This Transformation is gradual. Humans must not think, that by the mere act of conversion from their state of (spiritual) death, they at once become possessed of the Nature of the Divine. Such is not the fact.

The Transformation is gradual. Comes according to the susceptibility of the soul to receive this Divine Love, of which I speak. When once the inflowing of the Divine Love commences, it continues, Eternally. Although, there may be times of stagnation, and apparent loss of this Divine Essence, yet always is the Transformation taking place. At certain stages in its progress, the possession of this Divine Love will be so great, that the Original Soul, or its Original Qualities, will entirely disappear, and leave only the New Qualities, which the Divine Love has implanted in it. The leaven, when once deposited, never ceases to work, until the whole shall become leavened.

I will not write more tonight. Only further say, that this Condition of Transformation, may be obtained by all humans, if they will only seek for it in the proper way, and with Faith.

I will soon write you again. In leaving you, I give you my Love and blessings, and the assurance that I am helping you in your efforts to carry forward the work, and in accomplishing all the promises.

So my dear brother, goodnight.

Your brother in Christ, John.

June 20th, 1916

Let me write just a word, as I am anxious to make known to you, that I am interested in your work. And, in the development of the Knowledge of the soul, the means by which all humans may receive the Divine Love of the Father and become At-One with Him.

I am not going to write you a lecture tonight. I merely write that I may get in rapport with you, so that later I may have the opportunity, and ability, to write you of those things of deep and lasting interest to mortals.

I am not known to you. I hope that you will soon consider me one of your friends, as I desire to be, I assure you.

I must stop now. In leaving will subscribe myself, our true friend and brother in Christ, John Calvin.

June 27th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

I wish tonight to write you upon a subject that is of interest to all humankind. I hope that we will be able to communicate, and you receive the message.

I desire to write on the subject: "Why the Love of God, I mean the Divine Love, is necessary for human to possess in order that they may become At-One with the Father, and an inhabitant of the Celestial Kingdom.

Already I have written you what this Divine Love is, in contradistinction to the Natural Love. How it is necessary to save humans from their sins, so that they may become inhabitants of the Celestial Kingdom, and that nothing but this Divine Love will make a human At-One with the Father, and that no mere ceremony, or belief in me as the saviour of humans, will effectuate that end. Now, I will try to show you why this Divine Love is necessary, or as your learned humans might say, show you the Philosophy of the Transformation of the mere human into the Divine Angel, which every human becomes, who receives this Divine Love into their soul.

In the first place, human, as you have been informed, is a Special Creation of God. Is no greater than the component parts that enter into their Creation, as they are in their individual, and aggregate qualities. These parts are merely what God, in His Act of Creation, designed them to be.

It must not be assumed that these parts, or any of them, are a part of God, or of His Divine Essence, or Qualities. They are not. They are as separate and distinct from Him, and His Qualities, as are the lower Creations of His Will, such as animals, vegetables, and mineral substances. The only difference is, that human is of a much Higher Order of Creation. In one particular (soul), made in the image of God. No other of His Creatures has this image in its Creation. Nevertheless, human is no part of God, a merely distinct Creation. In their Best and Purest State only a human, having simply those qualities, which were Created in them at the time of their coming into existence.

There are certain qualities, which human possesses, such as Love, wisdom, and the reasoning faculties, which may be said to resemble the godlike attributes. So they do. Yet, they are not a part of God's Divine Essence, or Qualities. When humans assert that human is divine, or that they have in them the divine nature, or even a portion of the Divine Essence, they are wrong. The qualities in them, that appear to be of this divine resemblance, are merely those, which were Created, for the purpose of making the human a Perfect Human.

Because of this conception of human, as to their inherent qualities, they have, do, and will lose the opportunity of becoming possessed of the Divine Nature, or Essence, of the Father, which they may obtain, if they will pursue the proper and only method that God has provided for them, in order to be At-One with Him.

The Universe of human can, and will, continue to exist. Even though human may never become a partaker of this Divine Nature of the Father. Human will live and enjoy the happiness that was Bestowed upon them at the time of their Creation. They will not lose the Perfect Condition of this Creation, after they shall have been separated from sin and error, their own creatures. They will not be anything more than the Perfect Human. In the time to come, will not be anything less. Yet, they will always, as long as they exist, remain distinct from the Divine Nature and Essence of the Father, just as they were, at the time of their Creation, unless they obtain this Divine Nature and Essence of the Father, in the way that I mentioned.

The Highest Endowment of Human, either in soul, heart, or intellect, is merely that which belongs to them as a part of their Creation. Is not the smallest part of the Divine Nature and Qualities of the Father. No part, or portion, of Divinity enters into human's Creation. No matter how divinely constituted human may appear to be, or godlike them may seem, in the greatness of their intellect, or in the extent of their Love Nature.

So you see, human is as distinct from God, and from His Divinity, as is the animal, the brute, from human. Must forever remain so, unless they follow The Only Way the Father has prescribed for them to obtain a portion of this Divinity.

Now, all this shows, that human, no matter how Highly they may develop their intellect, or to what extent they may develop their Moral and Love Nature, cannot become more than the mere human that they were in the beginning, Perfect in every particular. They were, in the beginning, Perfect in every particular. As I have said before, God never makes a mistake as to the Perfection of His Creatures, even though in the case of human it may appear that He did, in giving them the Great Power of Free Will, which in its wrongful exercise, has caused sin and evil to appear in the world of human's Consciousness.

Human was made finite. Their capacity for exercising any, and all, their qualities, is limited. Beyond which, they cannot possibly go. Their intellect is bound by limits, as determined as the Law of God, which controls it. Also, their capacity for Loving. And for the enjoyment of their happiness. Though, they may live for All Eternity, either as human, or spirit, they cannot possibly extend, or pass, beyond the boundary lines of their Creation. They cannot enter into the Realm of the Divine, where limitations do not exist, and capacity for receiving Knowledge, wisdom, and Love. For progression that is commensurate with the very Fountainhead of God, Himself.

Then, such being the Nature, limitation, and capacity of human, it is apparent that they can never, by virtue of their Creation, and the qualities, which they posses, become a partaker of the Divine Nature and Essence of God, unless they receive something in addition to these qualities. They must receive this something from without. It will not do to say, that there is within them, as an inherent part of them, that, which when developed, will make them of a Nature Divine, and a part of the Divine Essence of the Father. This is not True. There is nothing in human of this Divine Nature. It is impossible to produce an Essence Divine, unless there be something from which it can be produced, that in some degree, has the Divine Nature of that Essence. It would be the equivalent of producing something from nothing, which even God does not attempt to do.

Then, as human is thus limited, all that flows from the qualities and attributes which they possess, is necessarily limited. The enjoyment of their intellect, the pleasures of their Love, the satisfaction of their reasoning powers, and as a sum total, their capacity for happiness, have their bounds. Besides, the Consciousness of Immortality can never be theirs, either as spirit, or mortal. Even though they may strive it to be.

When human takes on the Divine Nature, and becomes absorbed in the Divine Essence of the Father, they, then become like the Father. Whatever their image to the Father may have been when they were mere human, now they become the Real Substance. Limitations of possibilities become removed. Love sees no ending. Intellectual development, no boundaries. Happiness no limitations. Immortality becomes a thing of Knowledge. The soul, A New Creature, having the Divine Essence of the Father. Until this New Creation has taken place, and the Transformation becomes a Thing of Reality, the soul be made At-One with the Father, human cannot enter into the Celestial Kingdom of Heaven. Then, no longer human, but now a Divine Angel.

Now, as I have written you before, all this can be accomplished only by the operation of the NEW BIRTH. That is; the inflowing into the soul of human, of the Divine Love of the Father. This Divine Love contains the Essence of God's Divinity. When human obtains It, they are then of the same Essence as the Father. For the first time, becomes a part of the Divine. Fitted to inhabit the Celestial Heavens.

In no other Way, can human partake of this Divine Nature. It does not require much reasoning, to show the logical Truth of this statement. For human, in their earthly affairs, and in their material experiments in producing compounds from elements, applies the same Principle that I assert in my statement, "The dough cannot be leavened, unless leaven is placed in the batch."

So you see, that without this Divine Love entering into the soul, it will be impossible for the Natural Human, to become the Divine Angel. Beliefs, creeds, doctrines, and sacrifices cannot work this Transformation. Even though the beliefs may be without doubt, the creeds and doctrines satisfactory, and the sacrifices without end. Yet they will all be futile to change the soul of the mere human, into the soul of the Divine Angel. All this, in part, is why human should seek to obtain the Divine Love, and become an inhabitant of the Celestial Spheres.

I have written enough for tonight. I am pleased at the way in which you received it.

So with all my Love and blessings, I am, your brother and friend, Jesus.

I am here, Edwin Forrest.

Well I am here again. I am glad to be able to write you, for I need your advice so much, as several have told me that you can help me.

I am in much darkness and suffering. I do not know just why. I suppose it is because of my evil habits. I want to get relief if possible, so try your best to help me.

Well I understand what you say. I will believe that you desire to help me. I will certainly try to take your advice. So give it to me.

Yes, I see some who are like myself and need help as I do. Yes, now I see some beautiful and bright ones, who are so different from what I have ever seen. As I look, they become plainer to me. I see your wife. She is so beautiful, and speaks to me. She says that she heard what I said to you, and that she is ready and willing to help me, if I will listen to her, and try to believe what she says. My she is lovely, and seems too good!

Well, I have heard what you say. You surprise me somewhat in telling me about Taggart, and the others. I will try to do as you say. Before I go, tell me how did you ever get the power to receive my writing, and thus communicate. I never knew, when on Earth, that you had this power. If you had told me, I suppose I would not have believed.

So Ned, I will do as you say. Your wife calls me to her. I am going. So goodbye, and believe that I am thankful.

Your old partner, and now grateful friend, Edwin Forrest.

June 29th, 1916

I am here, Luther.

I desire to write a short message tonight on the subject of: "The observance of the ceremonies, which my church still uses in its worship, is not approved by God, or Jesus." I will not detain you very long, and will try to express myself as succinctly as possible.

Well, as you may not know, the church of which I am the founder believes and teaches the necessity of infant baptism and the observance of the Lord's Supper, as necessary parts of its church doctrine, and of such very great importance, that without them it is difficult to become an accepted member of the invisible church of Christ.

Nothing is further from the Truth, than these doctrines for the baptism of infants. They have no virtue to save one from their sins, or to make them in At-Onement with the Father. The mere fact that water is sprinkled on an infant's head, and some blessing pronounced by the preacher, does not in any way bring that infant in Unison with the Father. Baptism is of human's creation. To God it means nothing more than an outward ceremony that affects the infant merely as regards its connection with the established earthly church. It is not possible for this baptism to have any effect upon the soul of the infant. Neither does it open up the soul faculties to the inflowing of the Divine Love.

God cares not for these ceremonies. Rather looks upon them with disapproval, for their tendency is to make men and women neglectful of the Great Truth that will bring them in Harmony with God's Laws of Love and Redemption. The same thing may be said of any, and all, kinds of baptism, whether the subject thereof be an infant, a grown man, or woman. As to the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, it has no part in God's Plan for the Redemption of Humankind. It is merely a reminder of the association of Jesus with his disciples. It cannot affect the condition, or development of the soul. As now understood and practiced this "sacrament" is of no importance. Jesus does not want to be remembered in the way of recalling to him the tragedy on the cross, which was only the result of the malice and envy of the Jews. The blood spilt is not an element that enters into the Plan of the Salvation of humans. Besides, with this sacrament, there is always more or less worshipping of Jesus as God, which he, Jesus, abhors, and looks upon as blasphemy.

So you see, the celebration of the last supper is a thing, which is not acceptable to God, or to Jesus. He does not want humans to believe that they can be saved by any sacrifice of him, or by any blood, which he may have shed as a result of his crucifixion.

Of course, you will remember that the question of what the wine and bread of the sacrament really were, was one that engendered much controversy, even hatred, and ill-feeling on the part of those who were assisting me in the Great Reformation. If I had known then, what I do now, no such question would have been debated, or believed in by me, and taught for many years. The blood of Jesus was no more than any other human's blood. The commemoration of the last supper that Jesus gave his disciples before his death is a useless ceremony. Brings no help to those who indulge in this sacrament.

I see that you are tired and sleepy. I will not write more now.

So with my love and wishes for an increase in you of the Divine Love, I am your brother in Christ, Luther.
