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.

I am here, Jesus.

    I wish to write tonight on the subject:  What it is that makes a human Divine.

    When humans were Created, they were given the Highest Qualities that could be bestowed upon a mortal.  Yet, they were mere human, but the Perfect One.  With these qualities, were given them the possibility of becoming Divine, like the Father in His Divine Nature, but this Gift was never possessed by them, in its enjoyment of full fruition, until after my coming to Earth and making known to human that such a possibility existed.

    The First Created Humans never possessed this Gift, in its fulfillment.  Merely had the possibility of receiving It, on condition that they continued in their obedience, and made the effort to receive It, in The Way that the Father declared was the Only Way.  You have been told in detail what this Gift was, and how the First Parents forfeited the enjoyment of it, by their disobedience, and ambition to possess it, in a way that was not in accord with the Father's Way.
    As we have said, human lost this possibility at the time of the First Disobedience.  Thereafter, became gradually a human with their Moral Nature sinking lower and lower, until they became almost lost in the condition of the beasts in the field.  From that condition, they have been steadily improving, or progressing, towards their First Estate of Purity.  A great many humans have ceased to know, or have never known, that God is The Creator of All Things, and that All Creation is dependent upon Him for its Very Existence.  In their (self) assurance, and self-importance, they have assumed and professed to believe that their progress, or salvation, depends upon their own efforts.  That these efforts are sufficient to bring about this State of Purity, or Harmony with God's Laws and Desires.
    In this, humans are mistaken, for there is nothing in them that is Divine.  There never will be, when they depend upon their own selves, to progress to this State of Perfection.  The Divine Nature of the Father is not in human, and never becomes a part of them, until they pursue The Way, which is absolutely necessary for them to follow, in order to become anything more than mere human.
    I will not write more tonight as I think it best not to do so.  I understand that you could not prevent your condition of sleepiness.  I do not blame you.  I think it best to wait until later to finish what I desire to write.
    Well, my dear brother, believe that I have only Love for you, and will get close to you as we progress.  So I say, do not worry.
I will say goodnight, your brother and friend, Jesus.

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 of:  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.  That nothing but this Divine Love will make a human At-One with the Father.  That no mere ceremony, or belief in me as the savior 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, of His Essence, or Qualities, for 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, made in the image of (the Soul of) God.  No other of His Creatures has this image (the soul) in its Creation.  Nevertheless, human is no part of God.  Merely a 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.  And so they do.  Yet, they are not a part of God's 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.  For 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 a 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, and 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 they 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 obtain to, in 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, for 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 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 by 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 Divine 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 possess, 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" (Divine Love) 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 Essence of the Father.  For 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 there bounds.  Besides, the Consciousness of Immortality can never be theirs, as either spirit, or mortal, even though they may strive for it to be.

    When human takes on the Divine Nature and becomes absorbed in the 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 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, and the soul be made At-One with the Father, human cannot enter into the 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, and for the first time becomes a part of the Divine, and 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, Elias.

I will write a short message tonight as I promised.

    While on Earth, I was a prophet to the Hebrews, and tried to warn them that God was not pleased with the manner in which they were living, especially in not obeying the Commandments, as to their worship, and the individual lives they were leading.  I was not a human who knew the Attributes of God, as I now know them.  For then, to me, He was more a god of wrath and jealousy than (a God) of Love and Mercy.  The most of my teachings were to warn the Hebrews of the wrath that would certainly fall upon them unless they were more obedient and followed the Laws of Moses.
    I now know that the “wrath of god” is not a thing to be feared.  That His wrath is not a thing of Reality, and that when, humans disobey His Laws, and neglect to worship Him in Truth and in spirit, His Feeling towards them is one more of pity and sorrow than of wrath.  That instead of punishment, He extends to them His Mercy and Love.
    In my time the God of Love was not known to the people, in any practical way.  Although, He was written of as a God of Love, the people were not looking so much for Love, as the “fearing his wrath”.  It was only by threatening them with his wrath could they be made to realize that they were disobedient and aliens from Him.  They had not that soul development that comes with Love.  Their aspirations were almost wholly for the possession of the things of Life, and for a happiness that such possession could give to them, as they thought.  They expected a Kingdom of God on Earth.  Such Kingdom was to be one that should rule and govern the earthly affairs of humans.  Of course they believed that when such Kingdom should be established, sin, and the troubles of Life would be eradicated.  All the World would be subject to the dominion of such kingdom.  Their hopes and aspirations were in the nature of national hopes and aspirations, and not in those of the individual.  The individual was swallowed up in the nation.  Happiness was to be a national one instead of an individual one, except, so far as the national happiness might be reflected upon, and be partaken of, by the individuals.
    I, myself, knew nothing of the Divine Love.  Could not possibly have known, for then it was not open to human's seeking, as It had not been Restored by the Father.
    I knew of a higher development of the Natural Love than did most of the people, and realized what increased happiness such development would give to the individual who might possess it.  I also knew that prosperity and power of the nation, as such, would not bring the happiness of Love, but only the pleasures and satisfaction which increased possessions would naturally create.
    The Jews were a carnally minded race.  The development of the Spiritual side of their natures was very slight.  Their acquisitiveness was large, both as individuals and as a nation.  When they were prosperous, they lost their sense of dependence on God, and resorted to those practices, and that manner of living, that would enable them, as they thought, to get the most enjoyment out of their possessions.
    The future, that is; the Future after death, did not enter very much into their consideration of existence.  They lived emphatically for the present.
    If you will read the Biblical history of those times, you will find that most of the warnings of the prophets came to them when they, as a nation, were most prosperous, and as they thought, independent of God, or at least, of not being compelled to call upon Him for help and succor.
    What I have said showed the characteristics of the Jews.  They still have these characteristics, although since the coming of Christ and the teachings of his doctrines that have become so widely known, the Spirituality of the Jews have been increased and broadened.
    At times they would heed my warnings.  At other times they would not.  Sometimes they considered me as a friend, and sometimes as an enemy.

? 
    Well, I was psychic, and frequently heard voices of instruction and admonition from the unseen World.  As was our knowledge in those days, supposed that such voices were the voice of god, and so proclaimed to the people.  Now I know that such voices were those of spirits that were trying to help the people, and bring them to a realization of the Moral Truths, which Moses had taught.
    When Jesus was born into the flesh, there came with him a Rebestowal of the Divine Love (from God), and through his Teachings, that fact became known to humans.  We, who were in the Higher Spirit Spheres, also came to know of that Gift.  While none of us received It to the degree that Jesus did, yet we received It, and became Pure and Holy Spirits, free from sin and error, and partakers of the Divine Essence of the Father and possessors of Immortality.
    So, at the time of the Transfiguration on the Mount, some of us possessed that Divine Love, to such a degree that our appearances were shining and bright, as described in the Bible.  Jesus was brighter than Moses, or myself, for he had more of this Divine Love in his soul, and could manifest It to the wonderful degree that he did, notwithstanding his physical body.
    Our appearance, and his appearance, on The Mount, were to show to the mortals and spirits that the Divine Love had been Rebestowed, and received by both mortals and spirits.  This was the cause of our meeting.  While accounts of that event have been disseminated in the Mortal World ever since its occurrence, so also, had that fact became known in portions of the Spirit World.  Many spirits as well as mortals have sought for, and found, that Divine Love, to their Eternal Happiness.  Its existence was a fact then, and it is a fact now.  The Divine Love is open to all humankind, as well as spirits.
    The voice that the apostles heard, proclaiming that Jesus was the Well Beloved Son was not the voice of god, but that of one of the Divine Angel Spirits, whose mission it was to make the proclamation.  This incident was not a myth, but an actual fact, that formed a part of the Plan of the Father to assure humans of their Salvation.
    I will not write more now, but will come later and write you further on this subject of the Rebestowal of the Divine Love, and of my experience in receiving it.
    So with my Love and blessings, I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, Elias.

March 2nd, 1917

I am here, Jesus.

    I come tonight to write my message on the Human Soul.  I will do so, if we can establish the necessary rapport.

    Well, the subject is of vast importance, and difficult of explanation, for there is nothing on Earth known to humans, with which a comparison may be made.  Generally, humans cannot understand Truth, or the Nature of Things, except by comparison with what they already know to exist, and with whose qualities and characteristics they are acquainted.  There is nothing in the Material World that will afford a basis of comparison with the Human Soul.  Hence, it is difficult for humans to comprehend the Nature and qualities of the soul, by the mere intellectual perceptions and reason.  In order to understand the Nature of this Great Creation, the Human Soul, humans must have something of a Spiritual Development, the possession of what may be known as the "soul perceptions".  Only soul can understand soul.  The soul that seeks to comprehend the Nature of itself, must be a live soul, with its faculties developed to a small degree, at least.

    First, I will say, that the Human Soul must be a Creature of God, not emanation from Him, as a part of His Soul.  When humans speak, and teach, that the human soul is a part of the Over-Soul, they teach what is not True.  This soul is merely a Creature of the Father.  Just as are the other parts of human, such as the intellect, the spirit body, and the material body, which before its Creation had no existence.  It has not existed from the beginning of Eternity, if you can imagine that Eternity ever had a beginning.  I mean, that there was a time when the Human Soul had no existence.  Whether there will ever come a time when any Human Soul will cease to have an existence, I do not know, nor does any spirit.  Only God Knows that fact.  This I do know, that whenever the Human Soul partakes of the Essence of the Father, thereby becomes Divine itself, the possessor of His Spiritual Substance of Divine Love, that soul realizes, to a certainty, that it is Immortal, and can never again become less than Immortal.  As God is Immortal, the soul that has been Transformed into the Divine Substance of the Father becomes Immortal.  Never again can the decree, "dying thou shalt die," be pronounced upon it.

    As I said, there was a period in Eternity, when the Human Soul did not exist, and was Created by the Father.  When it was made the Highest and Most Perfect of All God's Creations.  To such an extent, that it was made in His image.  The only one, or thing, of All His Creations that was made in His image.  The only part of human that was made in His image.  For the soul is the real human.  All their attributes and qualities, such as their intellect, spirit body, material body, appetites, and passions, are merely appendages, or means of manifestation, given to that soul, to be its companions while passing through its existence on Earth.  Also, qualifiedly, while living in Eternity (in the Spirit World).  I mean, some of the appendages will accompany the soul in its existence in the Spirit World, whether that existence be for All Eternity, or not.

    This Human Soul, great and wonderful as it is, was Created, in the mere image and likeness of God, not in, or of, His Spiritual Substance, or Essence, the Divine of the Universe.  It, the Human Soul, may cease to exist, without any part of the Divine Nature, or Substance, of the Father being lessened, or in any way affected.  Hence, when humans teach, or believe, that human, or the soul of human is Divine, or has any of the Qualities, or Spiritual Substance, of the Divine, such teaching and belief are erroneous.  Because human, is only, and merely, the Created Human, the mere likeness, but no part of the Father, or of His Spiritual Substance and Qualities.

    While the soul of human is of the Highest Order of Creation, and their attributes and qualities correspond, yet they are no more Divine in essential constituents, than are the lower objects of Creation.  They each being a Creation, not an emanation, of their Creator.

    True it is that the soul of human is of a Higher Order of Creation than any other Created Things.  Is the only Creature made in the image of God.  Was made the Perfect Human.  Yet human, the soul, can never become anything different, or greater, than the Perfect Human, UNLESS they receive, and possess, the Divine Essence and Qualities of the Father, which they did not possess at their Creation, although, the most Wonderful Gift, with their Creation, God Bestowed upon them the Privilege of receiving this Great Substance of the Divine Nature.  Thereby, become Divine them self.  The Perfectly Created Human could become the Divine Angel, if they, the human, so willed it, and obeyed the commands of the Father, and pursued The Way provided by the Father for obtaining and possessing that Divinity.

    As I have said, the souls, the Human Souls, for the indwelling of which God provided material bodies, that they might live the mortal lives, were Created, just as subsequently these material bodies were Created.  This Creation of the soul took place long before the appearance of Human Soul on Earth as a mortal.  The soul, prior to such appearance, had its existence in the Spirit World, as a Substantial Conscious Entity.  Although, without visible form.  I may say, individuality, yet, having a distinct personality, so that it was different and distinct from every other Human Soul.

    Its existence and presence could be sensed by every other soul that came in contact with it.  Yet to the spirit vision of the other soul, it was not visible.  Such is the fact now.  The Spirit World is filled with these unincarnated souls, awaiting the time of their incarnation.  We spirits know of, and sense, their presence.  Yet with our spirit eyes, we cannot see them.  Not until they become dwellers in the human form, and in the spirit body, that inhabits that form, can we see the individual soul.

    The fact that I have just stated, illustrates, in a way, describes the Being of Him, in whose image these souls are Created.  We know, and can sense, the Existence and Presence of the Father.  Yet, even with our Spiritual eyes, we cannot see Him.  Only when we have our soul developed by the Divine Essence of His Divine Love, can we perceive Him with our soul perception.  Because you have not words in your language to convey its meaning, and nothing in Created Nature of which you have knowledge of, in which a comparison can be made.  It is a Truth!  The vision of the soul perception to its possessor is just as real, as I may say, objective, as is the vision of the mortal sight to the mortal.

    It may be asked, in considering this matter of the Creation of the Human Soul, "were all souls that have been incarnated, or that are awaiting incarnation, Created at the same time, or is that Creation still going on?"  I do know that the Spirit World contains many souls, such as I have described, awaiting their temporary homes, and the assumption of individuality, in the human form.  Aas to whether that Creation has ended, and at sometime the reproduction of humans, for the embodying of these souls, will cease, I do not know.  The Father has never revealed it to me, or to the others of His Divine Angels, who are close to Him in His Divinity and Substance.

    The Father has not revealed to me all the Truths, and the workings and Objects of His Creative Laws.  Neither, has He given to me all power, wisdom, and Omniscience, as some may find justification for believing in certain of the statements of the Bible.  I am a progressive spirit.  As I grew in Divine Love, Knowledge and Wisdom when on Earth, I am still growing in these Qualities.  The Love and Mercy of the Father come to me, with the assurance, that never in All Eternity, will I cease to progress towards the Very Fountainhead of these Attributes of Him, the Only God, the All in All.

    As I was saying, the soul of human is the Real Human.  Before, while in the mortal existence, and ever after in the Spirit World.  All other parts of human, such as the mind, body, and spirit are mere attributes, which may be dissevered from them, as the soul progresses in its development toward its destiny, of either the Perfect Human, or the Divine Angel.  In the latter progression, humans may not know it, but it is a Truth, that the mind, that is, the mind as known to humankind, becomes, as it were, non-existent.  This mind, as some say the carnal mind, becomes displaced, and replaced, by the mind of the Transformed soul, which is, in Substance and Quality, to a degree, the Mind of Deity itself.

    Many theologians, philosophers, and metaphysicians believe and teach that the soul, spirit, and mind, are substantially one and the same thing.  That anyone of them may be said to be the human, the ego.  That in the Spirit World, one, or the other, of these entities is that which persists and determines in its development, or want of development, the condition or state of human after death.  This conception of these parts of human are erroneous.  They each have a distinct, and separate, existence, and functioning, whether human be a mortal, or spirit.

    The mind, in its qualities and operations, is very well known to human, because of its varied manifestations, and being that part of human, which is more of the Nature of the material, has been the subject of greater research and study, than has been the soul, or the spirit.

    While humans have, during all the centuries, speculated upon, and attempted to define the soul, and its qualities and attributes, yet to them it has been intransitive, and impossible of comprehension by the intellect, which is the only instrumentality that human generally possesses to search for the Great Truth of the soul.  Hence, the question; of what is the soul has never been satisfactorily or authoritatively answered.  Though, to some of these searchers, when inspiration may have shed a faint Light upon them, some glimpse of what the soul is, has come to them.  Yet to most humans, who have sought to solve the problem, the soul, spirit, and mind, are substantially the same thing.

    The soul, as concerning human, is a thing of itself, alone, a Substance Real, though invisible to mortals.  It is the discerner and portrayer of human's Moral and Spiritual condition.  Never dying, so far as known, the Real Ego of the human.  In it are centered the Love Principle, the affections, the appetites, the passions, and possibilities of receiving, possessing, and assimilating, those things that will either elevate human to the state or condition of the Divine Angel, or the Perfect Human, or lower them to the condition that fits them for the hells of darkness and suffering.

    The soul is subject to the will of human, which is the greatest of all endowments that were Bestowed upon them by their Maker at their Creation.  Is the certain index of the workings of that will, either in thought, or action, and in the souls qualities of Love, affection, appetites, and passions, are influenced by the power of the will, either for good, or evil.  It may be dormant and stagnate, or it may be active and progress.  So its energies may be ruled by the will for good, or evil.  But these energies belong to it (the soul), and are no part of the will.

    The soul's home is in the spirit body, whether that body is encased in the mortal, or not.  It is never without such spirit body, which in appearance and composition is determined by the condition and state of the soul.  Finally, the soul, or its condition, decides the destiny of human, as they continue in their existence in the Spirit World, not a final destiny, because the condition of the soul is never fixed, for as this condition changes, human's destiny changes.  For destiny is the thing of the moment.  Finality is not known to the progress of the soul, until it becomes the Perfect Human, and is then satisfied, and seeks no Higher progress.

    Now, in your common language, also in your theological and philosophical terms, mortals who have passed to Spirit Life are said to be spirits.  In a certain sense, this is True.  Such mortals are not nebulous, unformed, and invisible existences.  They have a Reality of Substance, more Real and enduring than has human as a mortal, and are, in form and features, visible, subject to touch, and the object of the Spiritual Senses.  So, when humans speak of soul, spirit, and body, if they understood the Truth of the terms, they would say, soul, spirit-body, and material-body.

    There is a spirit, but it is altogether distinct, and different, from the spirit body, also from the soul.  It is not part of the spirit body, but is an attribute of the soul, exclusively.  Without the soul, it could not exist.  It has no substance as has the soul.  It is not visible, to even the spirit vision.  Only the effect of its workings can be seen, or understood.  It is without body, form, or substance.  Yet it is Real, and powerful, when existing, never ceasing in its operations.  Is an attribute of all souls.

    Then what is the spirit?  Simply this, the active energy of the soul.  As I have said, the soul has its energy, which may be dormant, or which may be active.  If dormant, the spirit is not in existence.  If active, the spirit is present, and manifests that energy in action.  So, to confuse the spirit with the soul, as being identical, leads to error, and away from the Truth.

    It is said that God is Spirit, which in a sense is True.  For Spirit is a part of His Great Soul Qualities, which He uses to Manifest His Presence in the Universe.  To say that Spirit is God is not stating the Truth, unless you are willing to accept as True, the proposition that a part is the whole.  In the Divine Economy, God is all of Spirit, but Spirit is only the Messenger of God, by which He Manifests the Energies of His Great Soul.

    So with human, spirit is not human soul, but human soul is spirit, as it is the instrumentality by which the soul of human makes known its energies, powers, and presence.

    Well, I have written enough for tonight.  Sometime, I will come, and simplify this subject.  Remember this: that Soul is God, and soul is human.  All manifestations, such as spirit, and spirit body, are merely evidences of the existence of the soul, The Real Human.

    I have been with you as I promised.  I know that Father will Bless you.

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

Your brother and friend, Jesus.

Divine Angels

15th May 1917

I am here, Jesus.

    I come tonight and desire to finish my message.  I hope that you may be able to receive it.

Well, to continue.

    I have described The Way to the Kingdom of God on Earth, and in the Spirit World.  Now, I will describe The Only Way to the Kingdom of God in the Celestial Heavens.

    As I have written before, when human was Created, in addition to having bestowed upon them those things that made them the Perfect Human, in Harmony with the (Spiritual) Laws and Will of the Father, He also Bestowed upon them the Potentiality, or Privilege, of receiving the Divine Love.  Provided they should seek for it, in The Only Way that God had planned for its attainment.  Instead of embracing this Great Privilege, human became disobedient.  Sought to exercise their own wills.  Did so, in that manner, that lead not only to their fall from the condition of the Perfect Humanhood, in which God had Created them, also to the loss of the Great Privilege of receiving this Divine Love.  Which Privilege was never Re-Bestowed upon them, until my coming and teaching that Re-Bestowal, and the True Way to obtain this Divine Love.

    Now here, it had better be understood, what this Divine Love was, and is.  For it is the same today, that it was when human (soul) was Created in the image of God.  This Divine Love differs from the Natural Love of human with which they were Endowed when Created.  Which belongs to all humans, which they all possess, in a more, or less, Perfect Condition, in this; that the Divine Love is that Love, which belongs to, or is a part of, God (The Divine Soul Being), possessing His Divine Nature.  Composed of His (Spiritual) Substance, which when possessed by human, to a sufficient degree, makes them Divine, and of the Divine Nature of God.  This Great Love, God intended should be received, and possessed, by all humans, who should desire to receive it, and who would make the effort to obtain it.

    It is the Love that contains in itself the Divine, which the Natural Love does not.  Many, I know, write, and believe, that all humans, irrespective of the kind of Love they have in their souls, possess what they call "the divine spark", which needs only the proper development to make all humans divine.  This conception of the state of human, in their Natural Condition, is all wrong.  Human has not in them, any part of the Divine.  Never can have, unless, they receive, and has developed in them, this Divine Love.

    In all God's Universe and Creation, of things material and Spiritual, the only one of His Creatures who can possibly have within them, anything of a Divine Nature, is they who possesses this Divine Love.  The Bestowal of this Divine Love was intended, in its operation, and effect, to Transform human, from the merely Perfect Human into the Divine Angel.  Thus, create a Kingdom of God in the Celestial Spheres where only that, which is Divine, can enter and find a habitation.  You must understand that as it depends very largely upon human, them self, to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth, or in the Spiritual World, so it also depends largely on human to establish the Kingdom in the Celestial Heavens.  God will not, and does not, by any Power that He may have, establish this Divine Kingdom.  If human had never received this Divine Love into their soul, there never would have been any such Celestial Kingdom brought into existence.

    There is now a Kingdom in the Celestial Sphere, not a finished one.  It is still open, and in the process of formation.  Is open to the entry of all spirits, and humans must seek for it, in The Only Way that the Father has provided.  No human, or spirit, will be excluded from it, who, with all the longings of their soul, will aspire to enter that Celestial Kingdom.

    I must also state, that the time will come when this Celestial Kingdom will be completed.  Thereafter, neither spirit, nor human, will be able to enter therein.  This Divine Love of the Father will again be withdrawn from human, as it was from the First Parents.  The only Kingdom that will then be accessible to human will be the Kingdom that will exist on Earth, or that which now exists in the Spirit World.

    Then what is The Way that leads to this Celestial Kingdom?  The Only Way?  For there is but one!

    The observance of the Moral Precepts, and the cleansing of human's souls from sin, by following these Moral Precepts, will not lead to this Celestial Kingdom.  As it can be readily seen, the stream can rise no higher than its source.  The source of the souls of humans, in a merely Purified State, is the condition of the Perfect Human (as Created).  That condition, in which they were before their fall.  Hence, the results of the observance and living of the merely Moral Precepts, and the exercise of the Natural Love, in its Pure State, is, that human will be restored to the Condition of the Perfect Human, the Created Human, in whom there is nothing of the Divine.  This restored condition of human will be so Perfect, and so in Harmony with God's Will and His Laws governing the Highest and Most Perfect of His Creatures, that Human will be very happy.  Yet, they will continue to be only the Created Being, having nothing more than the (soul) image of Their Maker.

    So, I say, living in a Harmony with the Moral Laws, and the exercise of this Natural Love, in its Highest and Purest State, towards God, and towards their fellow human, will not lead into The Way to the Celestial Kingdom.  The greatest height of their attainment will be the Kingdom on Earth, or that in the Spirit Heavens.

    The distinct and differing Nature of these Kingdoms, from that of the Celestial Heavens, will enable humankind to understand the difference between the missions of the great teachers and reformers who preceded me, in their work among humans, and the mission, which I was selected to perform on Earth.  The former could not possibly have taught The Way to the Celestial Kingdom.  Until my coming, this Divine Love, of which I write, was not possible for human to obtain.  The Privilege was not before that time, in existence, after the First Parents lost it.  There was no Celestial Kingdom, in which humans could find their Eternal Home.

    So, I repeat, all the Moral Teachings of the World's history, could not show The Way to the Celestial Kingdom of God.  Cannot now.  For Morality, as understood, and taught, by humankind, and by the spirits and angels, cannot give to human, that, which is absolutely necessary, in order to Transform their soul into that state or condition that fits them for an entrance into this Truly Divine Kingdom of the Father.

    The Way thereto is simple, and single.  Humans were taught that Way by me when I was on Earth.  Could have been taught that Way, during all the centuries since I left the Human Life.  I must say, that some have been so taught, and have found that Way.  But comparatively few.  For the mortals, whose ostensible and claimed mission, and privilege, were to teach that Way, I mean the priests, preachers, and churches, have neglected to teach the same.  But rather, though in earnestness, and realizing their allegiance to God, and their obligations to humankind, have taught merely the way, which the observance of the Moral Precepts, would lead humans into.

    All this, notwithstanding, that in the Bible, which most of those professing to be christians, believe contains my sayings and teachings, is set forth this Way to the Celestial Kingdom.  The words are few.  The Way is plain!  No mystery prevents humans from comprehending the meaning thereof!  When I said; "Except a human be born again, they cannot enter into the Kingdom of God."   I disclosed The Only and True Way to this Celestial Kingdom.  During my time on Earth, there were some who understood this Great Truth.  Since that time, there have been some, who not only understood this Truth, but found The Way, and followed it, until they reached the goal, and are now inhabitants of this Celestial Kingdom.  The vast majority of humans, priests, teachers, and people, have never understood, and have never sought to find The Way.  This Great Truth, to their Spiritual Senses, has been, as it were, a hidden thing.  As they read, or even recite, the same to their hearers, it has no special significance.  But is merely, as one of the Moral Precepts, such as "Love your neighbor as yourself", and with not as much importance attached to it, as to some of these Moral instructions.

    So, all down the ages, since the Great Kingdom has been waiting for humans, they, though in all sincerity, and in Love towards God, have sought for, and to a greater or lesser extent, found, only the Kingdom of the Perfect Human, and have neglected to seek for, and missed, the Kingdom of the Divine Angel.

    Then, as I have said, this Divine Love of the Father, when possessed by the soul of human, makes them, in their (Spiritual) Substance and Essence, Divine, like unto the Divinity of the Father.  Only such souls constitute, and inhabit, the Celestial or Divine Kingdom of God.  This being so, it must be readily seen, that The Only Way to the Celestial Kingdom, is that which leads to the obtaining of this Divine Love, which means the New Birth.  Which New Birth is brought about by the flowing into the souls of humans, this Divine Love.  Whereby, the very Divine Nature and (Spiritual) Substance of the Father.  Wherefrom, humans cease to be the merely Created Beings, but become the souls of humans born into the Divine Reality of God.

   Then, The Only Way to the Celestial Kingdom being by the New Birth, and that New Birth being brought to humans only by the inflowing and working of this Divine Love.  Whether or not a human shall experience this New Birth, depending in its initiative on the human them self, the question arises how, or in what Way, can a human obtain this Divine Love, this New Birth, and the Celestial Kingdom?  Because "The Way" is so easy, and simple, it may be, that humans will doubt the Truth of my explanation.  And, continue to believe, and place all their hopes, upon the orthodox doctrines of the vicarious atonement, the washing of the blood, my sufferings on the cross, bearing all the sins of the World, and my resurrection from the dead.  All doctrines as harmful to the Salvation of Humankind, as they are without Truth, or foundation in fact, or effect.

    The only Way then is simply this:  That humans shall believe, with all the sincerity of their minds and souls, that this Great Divine Love of the Father is waiting to be Bestowed upon each and all of them.  That when they come to The Father, in Faith, and earnest aspirations, this Divine Love will not be withholden from them.  In addition to this belief, pray with all the earnestness and longings of their souls that He open up their souls to the inflowing of this Divine Love.  That then, may come to them the Holy Spirit to bring this Divine Love into their souls, in such abundance, that their souls may be Transformed into the Very Divine Essence of the Father's Divine Love.

    The human, who will thus believe, and pray, will never be disappointed.  The Way to the Celestial Kingdom will be theirs, as certainly as that the sun shines day by day upon the just and the unjust alike.

    No mediator is needed!  Nor are the prayers or ceremonies of priests or preachers.  For God comes to human, Himself.  He hears their prayers, and responds thereto, by sending the Comforter, which is the Father's Messenger for conveying into the souls of humans this Great Divine Love.

    I have thus explained The Only Way to the Celestial Kingdom of God, and to the Divine Nature in Divine Love.  There is no other way, whereby it is possible to reach this Celestial Kingdom, and the Certain Knowledge of Immortality.

    So, I implore humans, to meditate on these Great Truths.  In meditating, believe.  When believing, pray to The Father for the inflowing into their souls of this Divine Love.  In doing so, they will experience belief, Faith, possession, and ownership, of that which can never be taken from them.  No, not in All Eternity.

    So, it is with human, to choose and fix their destiny.  Will that destiny be the Perfect Human, or the Divine Angel?

    I have finished.  I feel that you have received my message as I intended.  I am pleased.  I will not write more now.

With my Love and blessings, will say goodnight.

Your brother and friend, Jesus.

Let me write a line, Luke.

    I was with you tonight at the church, and listened to what the preacher said, in reference to religions and their point of contact.  I was somewhat surprised at his declarations, as to the analogy, which he drew between the believers in the various so-called christian religions.

    While, as you know, there is implanted in the souls of humans, a longing, for that, which tends to elevate and Spiritualize them.  Even though this longing may not be Consciously present with a large number of them, yet the beliefs, as to the ways in which this longing may be made manifest and develop the Spiritual Nature of the soul, are very different among those professing these various religions.  The ways are not equally efficacious in causing their Spiritual Development.

    Religion (Spirituality) is a matter of soul, not of intellect.  The greater the development of the soul in the right direction, the Higher will be the Spiritual State, or Condition, of the soul.  Mere intellectual belief, no matter how intense, and undoubting, will not tend to bring about this Spiritual Development.  For "religion" is really nothing but the relationship and Harmony of human's souls, with the Soul of God".  The mind will not be sufficient to create this State, because the mind of human cannot possibly bring into Harmony, the Soul of the Creator, and that of the Creature.  Mind, in its exercise, may tend to Awaken the soul to this possibility of relationship.  Only the workings of the soul can effectuate the complete Unity of the Creator, and the Created.  Only Soul can speak to soul.  Mind, is only a helper, provided the soul is alive in its longings.

    So, it is apparent that, that form of belief, which is wholly of the intellect, can have no common meeting place with that belief, which is the result of the development of the soul.  Hence, to say that humans, of all the various religions, just because they are what are called christians, are in an equal relationship to the Father, is erroneous and misleading.

    As regards the condition of human as the Perfect Human, these several religions may tend to bring about this State of Perfection, if the Moral Precepts, which they teach are observed and practiced by humans.  As regards human as the Divine Angel, that is, as a spirit having in itself the Essence of the Divine, only that religion which teaches the True Way to acquire this Divinity, can lead humans to the At-Onement with the Father in His Very Divine Nature.  There can be, in this respect, only One True Religion.  Only One Way in which that religion can be practiced, and possessed.  To say that all religions have a common point of approach is misleading, and deceiving.

    I know that among these various religions, there are individuals who have found The Way to the method of becoming Transformed into the Divine Nature of the Father.  This, notwithstanding, that the teachings and creeds of the several churches do not show The Way to this Soul Development into the Spiritual of the Divine.  In these churches, there is waiting, in their dogmas and doctrines, that, which will help humans to this True Religion.

    Because it may be found that in the churches there are some who have, to a degree, this Divine Spirituality, there is no justification in saying that there is any common place of meeting in these several religions.  Of course, the Moral Precepts may be, and are, taught by all the christian churches.  When observed will ultimately lead all humans, to the Condition of the Perfect Natural Human.  Only to this extent can it be said that they may have a common ground of religion, arising from the belief in the Moral Teachings.

    The church, which declares and teaches, as its religion with great exactness and more enlarged comprehension, is the church in which this, as I may call it, Natural Religion exists.  The more dissimilar these churches are in these teachings, the farther apart is their approach.  If a preacher of one church knows, with the conviction that arises from their sincere and honest investigation of the Moral Laws, that some other church is not teaching, or insisting, on the observation on the part of its members, of these Great Moral Truths then they have no right to conclude and say, this latter church is the possessor of religion, as is the church in which these Moral Truths are taught and followed by its adherents.

    It is a mistake for a preacher to say that because there may be good and Spiritual humans in all churches, therefore, one church is as good and religious in its teachings as another church.  Truth is of such a Nature that it cannot be compromised.  The human, or preacher, who would compromise the Truth, is not fulfilling their duty to God, or human.

    The church, which teaches that there is nothing greater than Morality, and that human can become no more transcendent than the Perfect Human, is devoid of the Truth, and would not be accepted, as a teacher of the Full Truth, as should the church, which knows, and teaches, The Way, by which human may become a Divine Angel.

    That the preachers of the various churches should accept as equal, and the possessors of, the True Religion, whenever these Moral Lessons are alike taught by these churches, and have a common point of approach, is not to be wondered at, because these preachers do not know the Higher Religion, or are able to teach The Way to the same.  When it is understood that a Moral Truth is a Truth, no matter where it may appear, and by whom taught, there is some justification in declaring that all churches which teach the Moral Truths are on a Plane of Equality.  That one is entitled to as much respect and freedom from criticism, as another.  Further, as The Great Truth of the Re-Bestowal of the Potentiality of receiving the Divine Love, and the effect on human's souls was never known, and taught, until the coming of the Master, it is not surprising that none of the churches can, or do, teach this Great Spiritual Truth, and The Only True Religion arising there from.  The Knowledge of this Truth perished from the Earth, a short time after the passing of the Master.  Hence, no church can teach this Religion of the Soul that Transforms the mortal into the Divine.

    The Religion of the Perfect Human may exist in varying degrees in all the christian churches.  The religion of the Divine Angel exists in none.  Although, some individuals of these churches, to some extent, have received in their souls the Great Truth, the Divine Love, even though they have no intellectual knowledge of the same.

    I thought it advisable to make these few remarks on the declaration of the preacher, as showing that his broad assertion, that the religions mentioned, which to him is all embracing, may have a common meeting point with every religion.  When he learns the Truth, he will realize the errors of his human and brotherly declarations.

I will not write more.  Goodnight, and God Bless you.

Your brother in Christ, Luke.

St. Luke.

    Let me write a few lines tonight, as you are in better condition.  I am able to make a rapport with you and deliver my message.

    I was with you today at a meeting of the New Thought people.  I saw the impression made upon you by the speaker, in his efforts to show that God is within human, and that only the opening up of the soul, or mind, of human to the development of that God is all that is necessary to bring that human into a Perfect at-onement with the Truths of God's Will.  Well, I have to say that this speaker, when he comes to a Realization of himself in the Spirit World, will find that God is not in him, or in anything that he may have possessed in his Earth Life.  That his development of the "kingdom within" him, as he termed it, was a mere delusion, a snare to the progress of his soul, in its career through the Earth Life, as well as through the Heavens, or Spirit World.

    He is mistaken when he announces that the kingdom of heaven is within him, or that he has that within him, which can by its development, lead to the condition of the Perfect Human, in the sense that he spoke of.  He is following a false way.  All the efforts that he may make, will not lead him into the paths that end in the Perfect Human (Divine Angel) that partakes of the Father's Divinity.

    He is also mistaken when he asserts that God is everywhere, in the flowers, in the thoughts of humans, and in the heart.  God does not find His Habitation in any of these things.  Humans do not live, move, and have their being, in Him.  He is a Distinct and Individual Entity, and is not spread over All His Universe, as the preacher proclaimed.  Can only be found, by the longings of the soul, followed by a development of that soul in His Divine Love.  No, God is in His Heavens.  Human can reach Him, only by the persistent longings of their soul for the inflowing of His Divine Love.  These things that the preacher declared, were the "Presence" of God, are only the Expressions of His Being.  They do not declare His Presence, in any other sense, than as the evidence of His Existence, in His Habitation, from which these expressions flow, and make known to human, His Presence, as these things reflect it.  I am sorry that this speaker has not more Knowledge of the True God, and of His Seat of Habitation.  For then he would realize that these things, upon which he places so much belief, as being the Very God, Himself, are but the expressions that flow from Him.

    Human, has within them, that, which has in itself wonderful possibilities.  I mean the soul.  It may, by the observance of The Way that Transforms it into a Divine Angel, become Divine itself, or it may, only by the slow process of Renunciation, become merely the Perfect Human (as Created), with their Natural Love in a Pure State, which was the condition of the First Parents.  If humans will listen to the call to their souls, they will realize this possibility, and receive this Divinity, with it, Immortality.  Without this Transformation, they never can become other, or greater, than the Perfect Human.

    I know, that humans teach that there is, implanted within the souls of all humans, that, which is capable of being developed into an existence like unto god.  That human needs only this development in order to become a god, and that there is nothing else necessary to make a human soul a part of the Soul of God.  In this teaching, humans are mistaken.  Will find themselves, at the stage of their Highest Development, nothing more than the Perfect Human (as Created).  Human, has within them, only that, with which they were Created.  Can, of them self, add not one thing that will change them from this condition of their Creation.  It is True that they can, by a right course of thinking, and living, renounce those things that have tainted their soul, and alienated it from The Father, made it sinful and disobedient.  When this is done, they are still, only the Perfect Human.  Nothing of the Divine is in them.  Jesus was the Perfect Human.  As such, was an exemplar of what all humans will ultimately become.  If Jesus had never become more than the Perfect Human (by praying and longing for the Divine Love of the Father from his soul), he would not now be an inhabitant of the Celestial Heavens, the most Beloved Son of the Father.  Yet, he became more than the Perfect Human.  It was only after he attained to this Condition of Excellence, that he could say, "I and my Father are one."  For it was then only, that he possessed the Divine Love, to that degree, which made him At-One with The Father.  Only they, who are At-One with the Father (in this Divine Love of the Father), that realizes that they are possessed of the Very Nature and Spiritual Essence of the Father.  There is; Only One Way in which this can be obtained.  That is, by the inflowing into the soul of the Divine Love.  Jesus could not say to the multitude, that they were at-one with him, and with the Father, for they had only the Natural Love, and had not experienced the Transformation of their souls.  Such sayings as this were addressed only to his disciples, or to those among his hearers, who had received this Divine Love.

    The speaker spoke of the New Birth, but had no conception of what it meant.  Like many other teachers, in and out of the churches, believes that a mere condition of the Purification of the Natural Love constitutes this New Birth, and that that is all Jesus meant when he taught the necessity of being born again.  There is, Only One Way, in which this New Birth can be brought about.  That you already know.

    As to the Moral Truths taught by the Master, such as are referred to in the Sermon on the Mount, undoubtedly, they will, if observed in the heart, bring about a regeneration of the soul, that will lead humans to the Glory of the Perfect Human, and make them at-one with the Laws of their Creation.  This condition is devoutly to be wished for, and sought after, by all humans.  When they attain to this condition, they will experience the Beatitudes that are mentioned in the sermon.  This is only the State of the Perfect Human.  Nothing of the Divine enters into their condition.

    "New Thought", as it is called, has in it, something that is an improvement on orthodoxy.  Humans will be the better, if they will embrace some of its teachings.  The great stumbling blocks of the Trinity, the vicarious atonement, and the blood, would be moved from the worship of humans.  They would then, rely on the Moral Truths, in the development of their souls for salvation, and would not rest supinely in the belief of the efficacy of the vicarious atonement.  Some other things that it teaches are all wrong.  Its followers will find, when they come to the Spirit World, that there is a God to be worshipped.  That human has not within them, that god to be developed by their own thoughts and deeds.

    I know, that according to the "orthodox teachings", too little is thought of the Natural Goodness of Human.  Too much emphasis placed in "their innate depravity, that nothing in human is worthy of the release from the sin and disobedience, in which they are now living, that of them self they can do nothing to bring about their Purification, and Restoration, to their Original Condition of the Perfect Human".

    This is wrong!  For very largely upon human's efforts depends their Redemption.  "As a human thinketh, in their heart, so are they".  They are Naturally Good!  Their present condition was brought about by their permitting their soul to be contaminated with sin.  To become again Good, they need only to pursue that way, that will remove sin, and its consequences, from their soul.  Human created sin.  They will have to remove sin.  The process will be slow.  Ultimately, it will be accomplished, by the efforts of human them self.  They will be helped, by spirits who are God's Ministering Angels, in these efforts.  But upon them, depends the removal of that, which they created, and imposed.  Here let me say, that unless human wills it, they will forever remain in sin.  God will not, contrary to human's desires, make them a Pure and Undefiled Being.  Human's belief, unaccompanied by striving and seeking, will not be sufficient to bring about this remedy.

    The speaker is a "good" human, and has experienced, to a large degree, the workings of his own will upon the conditions of his soul.  Knows, that his own efforts have caused him to renounce many things that tended to defile him, and cause doubt.  In this condition, realizes much happiness.  Thinks that he is, of himself, sufficient to attain to that, which will bring him into a Perfect Unison, with the god, that he thinks is within him.  In this, he is deceiving himself.  For what he thinks is god, is only an unusual condition of soul development in its Natural Love that gives him a happiness, which causes him to believe that god must be in, and a part of him.

    As you have been told, the happiness of the Purified Soul is beyond all conception of humans.  The nearer a human approaches to that condition of Purification of their soul, the greater becomes their happiness.  The belief that god must in some way be in that happiness, and form a part of it.  When the fact is; that this happiness is only that, which was Bestowed upon human in the beginning.  As the soul becomes Purer, and relieved from the defilement of sin, human becomes what they were, in the beginning.  Has regained, only that, which by Nature is theirs.  They do not receive any part of the Divine, nor does the Father Bestow upon them anything that was not theirs at the Creation.  They must realize that by the removal of sin, their soul becomes more, and more, in Harmony with the Will of God, and less, and less, in harmony with their own perverted will.

   Let "New Thought" progress, until humans may realize, that they are at-one with them self, their Created selves (soul).  Let it not teach them that what they experience, as a removal of sin from their own souls, by their own efforts and thoughts, is evidence of a development of any supposed god within them.  For it is not True.  Is merely the development of their own Natural Created selves, freed from that, which defiled, and made them unnatural.

    The speaker said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within all humans, and needs only for humans to realize that fact, and declare its truth.  That then, they will become pure, like unto god, find themselves in the presence of God, and see Him face to face.  Well, in this, he is all wrong.  The Kingdom of Heaven, or Celestial Kingdom, is not within humans.  Though, it may be.  Neither is God in their souls, and capable of being seen "face to face".  These humans, who teach Purification of their Natural Love, and a superior state, resulting from that Purification, and nothing more, will never see God.  They will always remain in the mere image, in which they were Created, a merely Purified Human, made in the image of God, and nothing more.  The Father will then, be the same unseen Creator, as He is now.  Humans will worship Him in faith only.  For their soul perceptions, which are the only eyes of the soul that can see God, will not exist.  To them, God will still remain the unseen and unknowable Being, that exists today in the knowledge and belief of humans.

    Well, I have written enough for tonight.  I saw that you were somewhat interested in the teachings of the day.  I thought it best that I should write you as to the Truth of the subject, of which he discoursed, and evidently believed.

    With my Love to you, and the hope that our messages may now continue without interruption, I will say, goodnight.

Your brother in Christ, Luke.

I am here, Jesus.

    Let me write just a line, for I desire to tell you that I was with you tonight at the convention of the New Thought people.  I saw the impression made upon you by the discourses.  I am pleased that what they said only confirmed your Faith in our teachings.  They are sincere in their efforts to obtain a Knowledge of the Truth.  The difficulty is that while they are free from many of the orthodox teachings of the church, yet they have only the Natural Love, and perceptions of the intellect, and to some extent, of the Awakened soul in its Natural Condition.

    They know nothing of the Divine Love, or The Way to the True Kingdom, and are depending entirely upon the Spiritual Feelings, that come to them with the Consciousness of an Awakened soul, in its conflict with the things that prevent its Purification and Development into the Perfect Human.

    These people are to be encouraged in their efforts, and teachings, so far as they disclose the True Natural Condition of Human, and the possibility of their becoming in Harmony with the Will of the Father in their Natural Love.  To that extent, they are progressing beyond the old orthodox ideas of what the Real Human is, and what is incumbent upon them, in order to get into the Condition of Happiness that comes with a Purification of their Natural Love, and a living in Harmony with the Laws of God governing that Purification.

    It is to be wished that these humans will proceed in their teachings.  Thus, give to humankind a knowledge of what human Really is, and the possibilities that lie before them when they exercise the inherent powers that exist within.  For concerning sin and inharmony, until the Great Truths of the New Birth, the Transformation of the soul, and the Wonderful Kingdom of the Celestial Spheres, are made known to humans, through our teachings of these things, these Greater Truths, which lie beyond the Knowledge of humans at this time, will not be theirs.

    In their search for God, they are on the wrong track.  Will never find Him if they pursue the search, in the way indicated by their discourses.  God is not within humans.  Nor do they live, move, and have their being, in Him.  Nor, is He everywhere, waiting to be developed by humans, as they grow better and Purer.  No, they are mistaken in their thought, as to God, and His Habitation.  Will learn, when they come into a Knowledge of the Truth, that God is not in human, or in everything that surrounds them, but is separate from them, and from the environments in which they live and move.  He has His Locality in the Highest Heavens, where He works out His Purposes, and makes Himself, and the evidence of His Existence, known to humans by the Energies (His Spirit) that control the Universe in which humans exist.  He can only be seen by the soul perceptions of a soul that has been Transformed into the Divine Angel.  To humans, in every other particular, He is unseen, and unknown, except as His Laws, and the effect of their operations, disclose His Being.

    Well, I merely wanted to write this short message.  I am glad that you can receive it.

Goodnight.  Your brother and friend, Jesus.

I am here, Jesus.

    Let me write, for I am anxious to tell you that you are in a much better condition than you have been for a long time.  Your thoughts of today, and especially of tonight, have put you in a Spiritual Condition.  If you continue in these thoughts, and longings (for the Divine Love), you will soon enable us to make the rapport, by which, we can continue our messages with greater frequency, and with exact expression of what we desire to convey.

    I have been with you a great deal today.  I have tried to exercise upon your soul and mind an influence that will cause you to more fully realize the responsibility that rests upon you, and the importance of the work that you are to do.  I was with you at church this morning.  I saw the impression made upon your mind by the preacher, when he asked the question, "if any one had anything to offer that would show him that he had not grasped all of the Truth, as to the Spiritual Things, as he called them, that would cause humans to aspire for, and obtain, a Higher Course of Living".  I also saw that you realized, that your work, if carried to its conclusions, would answer that question.  So you must think of this question.  Try, with all the powers that have been given you, to learn these Truths, so they can be made known, not only to the preachers of the so-called christian churches, but to All Humankind.  You already have Truths enough to show this minister that he is not preaching the True Christian Spirituality that I came to the World to teach, and did teach, and that he must not rest satisfied with his Knowledge of Spiritual Things, but must seek for more Light and Truth.  Then, make them a part of his own possessions, and teach them to the World of humans, especially those to whom he has the opportunity of ministering.

    I am much pleased that you are in so much better condition of soul.  I want you to persist in your efforts to obtain more of the Divine Love of the Father.  Then, you will be able to bring True Enlightenment, to the unthinking and unknowing World, of the Truths, that are so Vital to their Salvation.

    I was also with you tonight.  I saw the impression made on you by the preacher, when he set forth Samuel, as he then was, as an example to be followed by the True Seekers after the important things that lead to Spiritual Regeneration and Perfect Humanhood.  I was glad that you could appreciate how far the character of Samuel fell short of what is necessary to make a human the Divine Angel, or even the Perfect Human.  The preacher does not experience the Truth of the Divine Love in his soul.  In fact, has not even an intellectual knowledge of its existence and operations.  He believes that I am God, that my blood washes away the sins of all humans who believe in me.  Thus thinking, he is satisfied to rest upon the promise of the Gospels, which he accepts as the true teachings of me.  Samuel is now here, was with you at the church, and realized how devoid he was, at the time spoken of by the preacher, of that thing, which was necessary to his Salvation.  That his demand upon the people to behold him, and then bring any charge of unrighteousness that they could against him, and his conduct, as a servant and prophet of Jehovah.  This is a very pretty story.  To a certain extent, contains in it a teaching of the Moral Laws that works for good.  It is not more important than many other things contained in the Old Testament.  Samuel will come some time and write you of his Life on Earth, his ministry, as a servant of Jehovah.

    Well my dear brother, I will not write more tonight.  I will soon come and write an important message, which I know will not only benefit, but interest you.

    Well, I will write on the subject that you suggest.  This is an important thing for humans to know, as so many think, they are doing God's Will, in their various courses of living, and in their various forms of worship.  His Will, is one that corresponds with all the Laws that affect human in every way.  Humans must know what His Will is.

    I will come soon and write on this subject.  I hope that you may be successful in receiving my message, as I intend to deliver it.

    With my Love and blessing, and the assurance that I will be with you in all times of need, and try to direct you in your thoughts, I will say goodnight.

Your friend and brother, Jesus.
