LAW OF RAPPORT AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SPIRITS AND MORTALS

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals - A Spiritual thought, I mean a thought, which can come only from a spirit who has the Development of the Soul that makes that soul Divine, cannot possibly pass through a human brain, which has never been developed by a soul in which the Divine Love has entered and worked its regenerating powers. Things of the material may be conveyed through a brain purely material. Things moral through a brain which has been influenced by Moral Truths. Things Spiritual, through a brain which has assimilated those Divine Truths, that come only with the development of the Soul by Divine Love. This is the Law of Rapport and Communication.

I am here, Helen.

Let me tell you that you are only making yourself unhappy trying to learn all about the way that I write to you. You cannot do it, as you are not able to see my method, and I cannot fully explain it to you. I will try to do as best I can.

When you take hold of the pencil, I exercise all my power to move the pencil, so that it will write just what I think. In order to do that, I have to let my thoughts go through your brain. You do not do the thinking, but merely let the thoughts pass through your brain. The movement of the pencil is caused by the exercise of your brain, in conjunction with my power, which I exercise on the pencil. So you see, you do not originate the thought, but merely convey it to the hand, which I guide in accordance with my thought. You do not have anything more to do with what is written than an electric wire has to do with transmitting a message from the party at the end where the message is given.

Let me explain in another way. When I think a thought, I pass it through your brain to your hand. My power to move your hand is brought into action, just as when you think a thought, your power to move your hand is brought into action.

My thoughts are not your thoughts. When I think, your mind catches the thought, but does not create the same. So you must believe that I am doing the writing, and not you. For I write some thoughts which you could not write if you tried. How do you like that for assurance?
But to be serious, you could not write the things that I write, without giving much thought to the different subject matters, for some of them are not familiar to you, as you have often said. Let go the idea that you are writing things which emanate from what is sometimes called, your subconscious mind, for you have no subconscious mind. The philosophers who teach such an idea are not acquainted with the Laws of the Mind.
The mind is only the spiritual evidence (spirit) of thoughts that congregate in the brain, but which really are not a part of the material thing which the "wise men" call the subconscious self, or mind. There is no such thing. When they let their explanations of things, which they cannot account for, rest on the assertion that the subconscious mind furnishes these thoughts, they are all wrong.

Only the material brain furnishes thoughts, which it puts forth from the observation of the senses, or from the faculties which are brought into action when the reason is made the basis of the thoughts.

I am not a very good expounder of these things. I tried to make it as plain as I could. Yes, I am telling you this from my own observation and understanding of these things. When you receive communications from Mr. Riddle, he will be able to explain more fully and more satisfactorily the Laws which govern these things. You must soon, let him write.

I am studying the Laws of Physical and Psychical Sciences, so that I may be able to assist you in your investigations, when you come to search for the True Relationship between spirits and mortals, and the Laws of Rapport and Communication, which control these communications. Yes, my studies include the investigation of the Laws governing Clairvoyance and Inspirational Communications. You will have the opportunity sometime to have an experience in each of these phases. I want to be in condition to assist you, to a degree that will help you in arriving at conclusions which will be correct, and which will help others to understand the Laws that govern these things.

So you see your wife Loves you so much that she is willing to attempt to learn these things, which are thought to be only for the masculine minds, in order to help you more clearly understand them. While I will do this, and I will not cease to try to learn to the fullest, those things which will give me a clearer understanding of those Spiritual Truths that lead closer to God and His Divine Love. These are the absolutely necessary. The others are important, but not necessary, in order that a soul may sooner or later reach the Knowledge that makes it One with the Father. The Divine Love of God, which passes all understanding, is the One Great Thing to learn of and possess.

My home is now so very beautiful, that my happiness is more than I can tell you of. You will be also happy when you come over, for I am filling my home with such beautiful thoughts and so much Love, that when you come you will wonder how your little wife could possibly have accumulated so much beauty and filled the house with so much Love.

Yes, as I receive more of God's Divine Love into my soul, my home becomes the more beautiful. Only I do not have to be in the home to be able to have this Divine Love with me. It is with me all the time. When I am in my home, the home becomes a reflection of that Divine Love (in my soul). The home is not beautiful if the Divine Love is not there. So you see the home depends upon the existence of the Divine Love for its beauty. My soul is the creator of my home. Without the soul being beautiful, the home could not be beautiful.
When I leave my home to come to you, the home remains the same, because while my soul is with me, and also the Divine Love that makes it beautiful, yet the home retains the reflection, or as you might say, the atmosphere of that Divine Love to such a degree, that the beauty of the home is not lessened or deteriorated by my temporary absence. So you see the home has a permanency, although it depends upon the soul to give it its beauty and loveliness. My home is not yet perfect, but as I grow in God's Divine Love, then more Perfection will come to it. The more Divine Love that I have the more beautiful the home. We all are dependent upon the degree of Love in our souls for the appearance of our homes.

Let your endeavor be to get all of this Divine Love that you possibly can. If you succeed in getting as much as I have, you will be One with me and our home will be together. If you do not, I will have to wait until you do, before we can live as One together. So do try to get all of God's Divine Love that you can. If you will only give your thoughts to the Spiritual Things, and let your soul be open to the inflowing of this Divine Love, by praying with all your soul longings, you can progress just as rapidly as I do. So Love enough, and want to be with me enough, to try with all your heart to get this Divine Love.
Your own True wife, Helen.

I am here, John.

I merely want to say that what the Master says is True, and will soon triumph. You must believe, for Faith is a wonderful help. I know that it seems a long way off to you before you will get in condition to do these things, but it will not be long, for all the powers of our True Christian Spirit World is working to bring this about.
I am with you very often when you are least aware of the fact and so are herds of others.

? (Jesus communicating?)

Well, he is subject to the same Laws, controlling communications that the rest of us are. The powers had left him when he so stated. It is nothing that you should be astonished at, because you will find in the future that many times this power will exhaust itself.

You must not think that he is infallible in these things which pertain to the working of the Laws governing the Communications between Spirits and Mortals. We are all subject to them. Sometimes conditions arise that prevent the continuance of communications.
?
Yes, it is so and you must not let the fact disturb you.
I will stop now, your brother in Christ, John.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

September 12th, 1915

I am here, John.

I do not write St. John, because I am not called by that name in the Spirit Heavens. I have written you often enough now, that you will identify me when I merely write John.

Well, I heard what the Master said (wrote). I can only add thereto, that I never wrote the things, which declare that I preached that the blood of Jesus saves from sin, or that Jesus was a propitiation for the sins of humankind. Neither in my Gospel, nor in my Epistles, nor in Revelation, did I write such a doctrine. As I have told you before, many things contained in these books were written by others to carry out certain plans and ideas of the writers. I never said that Jesus was God and that he was begotten by the Holy Ghost, or that he is equal with God, or that he saved a human from sin by reason of any personal qualities which he may have had. So let your mind eliminate these false doctrines and receive the Truths, which the Master shall write, with a perfectly unbiased mind, free from all preconceived ideas.

?

I meant that many spirits would try to communicate with humans and attempt to teach false doctrines, as to Jesus and his mission.

That the only spirits who were capable of conveying the Truth, and worthy of belief, were those who should acknowledge that Jesus was the son of God in the way that it has been explained to you. Not that Jesus, or Jesus Christ, was God. Only those spirits who acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, and have received the New Birth, and know anything about the Kingdom of Christ, or of the Gift of the Divine Love of the Father, and The Way to obtain It, as taught by Jesus (in these messages), should be acknowledged. All other spirits who have not this knowledge, and consequently would not acknowledge Jesus as the son of God, who should hear his teachings, is not to be trusted as being True Follower of Jesus.

This is nothing mysterious, or contrary to the Laws governing the conduct or beliefs of humans. If a spirit, or human either, knows nothing about a certain subject, they certainly cannot teach others its qualities or merits. Hence, I was applying an ordinary Law of Nature to the way in which spirits should be tried.

For I must tell you now, and it is a Truth, and was a Truth at the time I wrote my gospel and epistles, just as it is a Truth now, and always will remain a Truth, that every spirit who acknowledges that Jesus is the son of God, is a Redeemed Spirit. Has received a portion of the Divine Love, and is progressing in the Kingdom, which Jesus is now forming. When I gave those instructions to my children, as I called them, I intended that their communications should be only with those spirits, or humans, who had received this New Birth.

I know that all the spirits who have received this Divine Love, in sufficient abundance, are good spirits. Free from sin, error and the power, or inclination, to influence mortals not to sin, or to do anything, which is contrary to the Will of the Father. While all the other spirits may, or may not, exercise upon mortals the influence of evil.

Hence, try the spirits! If they do not acknowledge Jesus as the son of God, let them alone. Do not receive their communications, or teachings, because they are not believers in Christ and the New Birth.

Among my children, or believers in the Christian religion, were many persons who had the power or gift of communicating with the spirits of the departed. Did so communicate. Such communications were made known to the rest of the congregation, and believed by them. Hence, my injunction against communion with those spirits who were not believers in Christ.

You must not think that this is the only age in which spirits communicate with mortals. I must tell you that in my time it was much more common than now. In our congregations, when worshipping, and when in our other gatherings, and often in private, we had these communications.

This was an important part of the services of our meetings. One that kept us in constant harmony with the soul power of those who lived in the spirit form, and from whom we received powers of healing and of doing good in many other ways.

In those days, healing the sick, and doing kindred things, were a very important part of our work as Christians. We believed what Jesus had told us on Earth. We increased our Faith and performed many works, which the people who did not believe as we did, thought were miracles. To us the healing of the sick and the doing of these other things were just as natural as eating and sleeping. I tell you that our Faith then was a certainty. We possessed the Substance that Paul speaks of. We expected to do the things, just as we expected to breathe, and be able to do material good to our brothers.

After a few centuries, when humans came into the church for other purposes than to receive the New Birth and do the Will of the Father, Faith, such as I speak of, died. The power to do these things was taken away from humans. The church became a congregation of humans having the mere lip worship. All through the centuries from then, until now, this power has not been with humans. Except, that here and there, some True believer, with a Faith such as we had, has appeared and done wonderful things.

So I say, let not what the Bible may say about Jesus being God, and having those other qualities with reference to the salvation of humans, disturb you in your beliefs in what the Master may write you.

I will not write more tonight, but will say goodnight.

Your brother in Christ, John.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

December 1st, 1916
I am here, Judas

I will say only a few words tonight, as I see that you are not just in condition to write a long message.

I wish to say that whenever you let the thoughts of your material mind control your Spiritual Consciousness, the result is that you suffer a darkening of the soul's faculties. A consequent impossibility to get in rapport with the Higher Spirits and their condition of Exalted Truth, and the Happiness that necessarily accompanies the association of such spirits with your Spiritual Essence (soul). So you will understand the importance of keeping the purely mental thoughts, that are created by, or arise from, the exercise of the five senses, and the reasoning powers, in subordination to the perceptions of the soul that arise from the condition of that soul being in Harmony with the Divine Truths of the Father.

I know, that at times, the cares and worries of Life, will cause the mental faculties to so operate, as to obscure, or make almost non-existent, these faculties of the soul, which alone can perceive and comprehend the Spiritual Truths of God, that are the only Truths that can make humans really happy and fitted to enjoy the Blessings that the Father is Bestowing upon them.

I make these abstract suggestions that you may apply them to your own condition of mind, as it has existed for the past few days. Making such application you will realize the force of what I say.

Your worries and dread of impending distress and failure to be able to satisfy the demands upon you, have alienated you, to a large extent, from the Higher Truths and the rapport that you have heretofore enjoyed and possessed. Have caused much unhappiness to come to you. But being mortal, and realizing the demands that are made upon you as a mortal, it may be quite natural that you should get into that condition of worry and dread, and not be able to realize that these Higher Spiritual Conditions are the more desirable. The only ones that will bring you happiness and freedom from worry.

I know that so long as you are a mortal, the cares of Life will be a part of your living. That they will be of sufficient weight to exercise a powerful influence on your thinking and acting, and that you will scarcely be able to cause the Spiritual Thoughts and Happiness that always flows from them, to set aside and make unreal this material condition. Yet such a thing is possible. You can bring about, this so desirable condition, if you will only follow the advice that has been given you by your spirit friends. Pray to the Father and believe!

?

No, that is True. This desired condition will not, of itself, bring to you these things that you speak of. It will help you to endure their absence, to a greater extent than you can possibly imagine. Neither does the fact that you worry and fret bring these things. When you have this need, and in addition, the conditions of mind that worry and dread bring to you, you have a double burden, and one, which does much harm.

So let me advise you to make every effort to get into that condition that these Spiritual Acquirements will place you in, and trust to the promises that have been made you as to the material things.

I desire to write merely this tonight to encourage you. To assure you that you need not let the worries and fears of the future, as to these material wants, take possession of you, and deaden the Spiritual Contentment that may be yours.

You will not be abandoned in the particulars mentioned. You must rely upon the promises that have been made you. You will find that you will not be forsaken.

So think of what I herein say. Give your thoughts to the Father's Divine Love, and to the promises of the spirits who are so much interested in you.

I will not write more now. With my Love and assurance, that what has been promised, you may expect.

I am, your brother in Christ, Judas.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

November 2nd, 1917

I am here, St. John, brother of James, the Apostle of Jesus.

I come to you today because I see what your condition is, and that you need encouragement. As I am your special guardian, I could not abstain from writing you as I have. So I say, trust in the Father, and in our help. You will not be disappointed.

It has been a long time since I have written you in regards to Spiritual Things. I desire very much to do so, as I have important messages to communicate, as have many other spirits who have been accustomed to write you.

While your material affairs are important, yet these Spiritual Truths are of more importance. Not only to you, but to the World, for whom they are primarily intended. The World needs these Truths, more at this time than ever before. The sooner we can complete our Book of Truths, the better it will be for suffering Humanity, and for many whose hearts are now lacerated because of the great destruction of Human Life caused by the war (WWI).

Well, I know that many believe that in some way God has an overpowering direction, as regards the progress and outcome of the war. In a certain sense, this is True, for He is always interested in, and seeks to reach, the souls and hearts of Humankind. Of course, desires that the great suffering and devastation shall cease. But as the cause of all this was the evil desire and ambitions of humans, He will let humans, themselves, control the conduct and outcome of the war. He will not, by His Exercise of Power, in an arbitrary way, end the war, or determine which of the contending nations shall be successful. Except in this, that through the Instrumentality of His Spirit, He will Influence the minds and consciences of these humans, in such a way, that right and justice will prevail. The evil thoughts and deeds of humans be stopped in their operations. His Spirits are working to this end at this time, and have been for a long time. So have the evil spirits been working to bring discord and destruction upon Humanity. The leaders of the nations have been, in a large degree, obsessed by these evil spirits. Have been influenced in many of their thoughts and acts by these dark ones, who delight in seeing humankind suffer, and in evil asserting itself.

The Spirits of Truth are exercising a wonderful power over the hearts and souls of humans. One that will cause them to soon realize that evil must not be allowed to prevail. That Truth and Right must assert themselves. To the end, that the war must not only cease, but that humans must become more in Unison with Truth and Justice. In this way, the Father will answer prayer. His Love will also continue to flow to humans.

I know that prayers are ascending unto the Father from many humans, and from many of the churches, of the respective contending nations for success. Only those prayers will be answered, which tend to bring about the overruling of evil and injustice. The spirits who are working the Father's Will, will answer these prayers, only which in their answer, will bring about the desired end.

As I have said, while God does not take interest in these matters by His arbitrary power, and decree that the one or the other of these warring nations shall overcome and conquer the others. Yet, He does, by His Angels, exercise such influence upon the humans who are engaged in the struggle, that in the end, His Will (of Love and Harmony), will be brought to pass. Humans, immediately, must determine the course and results of the issue. No miracle will be performed which will make one side the conqueror of the other. While this is so, this determination by humans will be influenced, as I have stated.

Human has their free will. As we have written you, that is never arbitrarily controlled by the Father. In the exercise of that free will, whenever human violates the Laws of God (Laws of Love and Harmony), human must suffer the penalty of that violation. This is a never changing Law, of the material, as well as of the Spirit World. When evil (unlovingness) is sown, evil (a lack of love) must be reaped. Until this evil ceases to operate as a cause, Good will not appear. The humans who are directing the war must understand that this Law is operating in the conduct of the war. That evil thoughts put into execution will inviolably bring evil consequences.

You may look for an earlier determination of the struggle than some humans now believe possible. Yet ere that end comes, many mortals will become spirits and find their homes in the Spirit World, some in the darker spheres, and some in those (spheres) of Light and Love. All are the Children of God. Will not be forsaken by Him in the Great Eternity.

?

Well, you have not been in that condition of mind that has enabled us to make the necessary rapport with you. We must have a mind that is filled with thoughts of the Higher Things of Divine Truth, even though we do not use those thoughts. Our thoughts (the Celestial, or Divine Angels) are all Spiritual. Our Divine Truths can be received only by the mind in a Spiritual condition. You, lately, have not had so much of this Spiritual Mind, as formerly. Our contact has not been so close. Our rapport, necessary to enable us to express through your mind these Spiritual Truths, has not been so perfect. When I say mind, I merely mean the organs of the brain, as influenced by the thoughts of the mind. For I will tell you what you may not know, that these component organs of the brain are not always, and under all conditions, receptive of the same control by the minds of spirits. You may receive through your brain a long and profound message of things pertaining to what you may call the material. Yet under similar conditions of these organs, not be able to receive messages of the Higher Truths. The conditions of these brain organs are caused by the condition of the soul in the possession of things Spiritual.

It is difficult for me to express just what I intend to convey, but this you will understand; that upon the development and possession by the soul of Things Spiritual, depends the capacity of the human brain to receive the various kinds of messages. A medium who is merely intellectual and morally good cannot receive those messages of the Highest Truths, because there can be no rapport between the brain of such a medium, and the mind of the Higher Spirit, who may desire to communicate. Thus, you will understand why it is that the messages from the earth-bound spirits, or from those who have merely the intellectual development, are so vastly more frequently received by mediums, than messages from spirits of the Soul Development (of Divine Love).

A Spiritual thought, I mean a thought, which can come only from a spirit who has the Development of the Soul that makes that soul Divine, cannot possibly pass through a human brain, which has never been developed by a soul in which the Divine Love has entered and worked its regenerating powers. Things of the material may be conveyed through a brain purely material. Things moral through a brain, which has been influenced, by Moral Truths. Things Spiritual, through a brain which has assimilated those Divine Truths, that come only with the development of the Soul by Divine Love. This is the Law of Rapport and Communication.

Well, I will not write more now, but in closing urge you to have faith in us. Let your worries leave you. Pray more to the Father. Goodbye, your brother in Christ, John.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

January 4th, 1918
I am here, John.

I desire to write for a short time tonight upon a subject that I consider important, and you may consider interesting.

As you may know, it has been sometime since I wrote anything of a formal character. I regret very much that so much time has gone by without my being able to communicate some of the Spiritual Truths, and regret that your condition has been such that I was unable to make the rapport with you that is necessary, in order that I may deliver to you these messages, of the nature mentioned.

I have explained to you in a former recent letter, in a brief way, the Law of Rapport and Communication. That Law, if you will try to understand it, will enable you to comprehend the reason why we have not been able to communicate these Higher Truths.

It may seem to you that if we control your brain, and not use, or transmit your thoughts, but only the thoughts, which come from our minds, it would be immaterial what the nature of our thoughts might be. That as your brain is used by us as a mere instrument, we, having possession of your brain, would have the power to write anything we might desire. Upon a mere superficial glance at the assertion, it could be reasonably supposed to be true.

As we have told you before; Rapport, and our ability to use your brain, are governed by Laws. One of these Laws is that a High Thought cannot be transmitted through a human brain, which is not in the condition, that qualifies it to receive the (high) thought. Just as the brain, in matter pertaining to mere material knowledge cannot receive a conception, or comprehension, of some intellectual Truth with which it has not had acquaintance, and transmit it. A brain cannot be used by the mind of the human to make known, or present, a problem in geometry, when that brain has never been used by the mind to acquire an acquaintance with, or knowledge of, the Principles of Geometry. This is an incomplete analogy, but it may serve to illustrate what I mean.

In the conception by the human mind of a Truth, material, or Spiritual, the brain must be used in order to manifest, or make known, that conception. This is absolutely True where the idea, or thought, originates in the mind of the human who is using their own brain to formulate, or manifest, that idea, or thought. The mind may have the thought, or knowledge, of some branch of learning, and yet when it has never used the brain to put that thought, or knowledge, into concrete form, the brain cannot manifest or transmit it. This Law applies specifically to the capabilities of the brain, where it is attempted to be used, or controlled, by the mind of the human who owns the brain. From this, you will see that it is possible for the human mind to have thought, and Knowledge, of things, which it cannot use the brain to express.

In many of your material things of Life, such as great invention, the knowledge of these inventions is in the mind. It may be, for a long time, before it is formulated and expressed by the brain. Sometimes it never gets through the brain at all. The mind and the brain are not one and equivalent things. The one is the operator, the other is the thing used to operate with, so that, the possessions of the operator may become manifested to others.

But this Law applying to and controlling the relationship of the mind and brain possessed by the same human, does not so absolutely apply to, and control, the relationship of mind and brain, where the mind is that of a spirit, and the brain that of a mortal. For in such case the mind may take such complete control of the brain, that the former's manifestations are not governed, or limited, by the special experiences, or wants of experiences, which the brain may have had, in its use by the mind of the mortal, along specific lines of expression or manifestation. Thus, as you may know, and as it has been demonstrated by the work and experience of many human mediums, the minds of spirits have controlled the brains of these mediums, so that such brains have transmitted, from these spirits, expressions of various kinds of languages and mathematical Truths, with which such brains never have had any acquaintance, or become exercised in expressing.

In these instances the brain is used merely in the sphere of intellect. The spirit who takes possession of that brain, and uses it to express and make known the knowledge of the spirit's mind, is doing no different thing, in essentials, to what the human mind, controlling its own brain could have done, had the brain been exercised in those directions. The capacity of the brain, whether exercised, or not, by the human mind controlling its own brain, limits the power of the spirit to control, in the manner, and for the purpose, mentioned.

This Law has a further phase. That is; the greater the general experience of the brain in its exercise by the human mind, the more perfectly can the spirit mind control it. All this is dependent upon facts, which I cannot linger here to explain, such as the mediumistic qualities and susceptibilities of the human whose brain is attempted to be controlled by the spirit.

The same Laws apply to the disclosure of Truth and Principles along the Moral Planes. A spirit cannot possibly use the brain of a mortal to convey or transmit through it, Moral Precepts, or Truths, that that brain is not capable of receiving. I do not mean by this, that the brain must have had any acquaintance with, any, or many, particular Moral Truths, or must have been used by the human for the purpose of receiving, or imparting, these precepts, but must be, in its essential capacity, potentially able to transmit and receive these Truths. So the capacity of the brain to receive and transmit these Moral Truths, limits the control of the spirit, over the brain, to express through it these Truths.

The rapport of the spirit with the human is determined by the development of the brain and the moral qualities of the human, at the time the rapport is attempted to be made. This means the actual development of these conditions. Not what they may appear to be to other humans, or even to the individual themselves. This development determines to a large extent, the power of the spirit to use the brain to disclose the Truths, either intellectual, or Moral.

A medium can receive only such Truths, as their condition, according to the Nature of the Truths, is susceptible to the forming of a rapport by the spirit. The possibility of rapport, and the kind thereof, lie at the foundation of mediumship, and determine and limit the power of the spirit to convey its thoughts, and the capacity of the mortal to receive them.

When the medium is in a certain condition of development, the spirit writing can form the rapport, according as that condition harmonizes with the condition of the spirit. It is impossible, unless the harmony exists, for the spirit to write these things, which require a greater degree of development than the medium, at the time, possesses. Hence, you will, in a way, understand why so few of the Higher Spiritual Truths have ever been delivered to the World through the mediumship of any mortal, who has been possessed of gifts of either automatic writing, as it is called, or clairvoyance, or inspirational powers.

As to those Truths which did not require a higher degree of development than was possessed by the medium, there arose no difficulty in transmitting the same. Many mediums have been very successful in receiving the Truth, suited to their condition. This fact, and Law, also will explain to you why the same spirit may communicate through several mediums, and yet the communications be of a dissimilar character. That is, the communications through one medium contain higher, or lower, character of Truth than those transmitted through some other medium. With the result, that those mortals who have heard, or read, these different communications, especially when critical, have been prone to believe that the same spirit was not making both communications. This is not a just conclusion. For while the spirit was in the same condition, possessing the same Knowledge, at the time of both communications, yet the mediums, because of their difference in development, were unable to receive the same character of messages.

You may search the whole History of Spirit Communications, and of Mediumship, and you will not find any messages, of the character of those that have been transmitted through you,for the reasons that I have stated.

Swedenborg was the last and nearer perfect instrument for receiving these Higher Truths. Yet he, because of his want of Soul Development, and his being bound, to a more or less extent, by his orthodox beliefs, and scientific knowledge, that caused him to coordinate and fit in these Truths with his ideas of correspondence, and such like conceptions,was a failure. Could not be successfully used to transmit these Divine Truths, which we have been communicating through you. After him, other gifted, and in some respects, successful mediums were used by Spirits of the Higher Knowledge and Progression to convey (Spiritual) Truths. But their conditions were such, that under the workings of the Laws governing rapport, these mediums could receive only those Truths, which their conditions of (spiritual) development permitted them to receive. The workings of this limitation were not dependent upon the condition, and ability, of the spirits to impart these Higher Truths, but upon the capacity of the mediums to receive them.

You, yourself, have had experience as to how this Law works, and controls Communication and Rapport. For, as you know, it has been a long time since you were able to receive any spirit messages of these Higher Divine Truths, although the spirits have been present with you many times, ready and anxious to make the rapport and deliver their messages. You have been willing, intellectually, to receive them. But because of your condition, or want of condition, the spirits could not deliver them, and were compelled to wait until you get into the necessary condition.

From all this, you will comprehend why so very few messages, containing High Spiritual Truths, or even Moral Truths, come through mediums. The mediums, mostly, are so developed, that they can receive only messages dealing with the material affairs of Life. Which kinds of messages, I am compelled to, and can Truthfully say, are those that are largely desired by the mortals seeking information from the Spirit World.
Again, in your reading of Spiritual literature, you may have observed the great diversity of opinions of spirits upon the same subject. Sometimes contradictory opinions. Thus causing doubt on the part of mortals, as to; what are the facts existing in the Spirit World, as to the subject of inquiry. Well this is due very largely to the condition of the mediums. Also, to the Knowledge of the spirit who attempt to communicate. For the knowledge of spirits is limited by the extent of their progress and (spiritual, or soul) development.

Many spirits believe that what they have learned is True, and so, give authoritative expression to the facts of their knowledge, and often believe what they know, is all that may be known, of the subject on which they communicate. These are mostly honest in their beliefs, and truthful, as they think, in their messages. Thus it is well for mortals to understand; that everything written, or spoken, by spirits, at all times, is not to be accepted as the Finality of Truth. On the other hand, apparently contradictory statements should not be taken as fraudulent, merely because they are contradictory. A spirit with greater knowledge, using a medium in Harmony with themselves, can convey to humans, the more exact and greater extent of Truth, than can a spirit with less knowledge and development, using a medium in Harmony with themselves.

Now, from what I have written, it is apparent, that in order to get the Greater Truth, and more extended Knowledge of the Spirit World, mediums should make the effort to obtain larger and more intensive development of their Spiritual Natures, as well as of their intellectual capacities. This acquirement (of Spiritual or Soul Development) is absolutely necessary to the reception of the Higher Truths, which are so vital to humankind.

So, you see, communication and rapport depend upon the condition of both spirits and mortals, working in unison. Though more, I may say, upon the condition of the mortal. For, if the medium is in the proper state of development, there being always many spirits present with that medium, in condition and readiness, a rapport can be made.

The Master is here tonight, has heard my communication, and unites with me in saying: Have Faith, and seek with all your soul, for this Divine Love.
Believe that I am your special angel friend, your brother in Christ, John.

I am here, Jesus.

Well my brother, I see that you are in much better condition tonight than you have been for some time past. I desire to tell you that it is due to the facts that you have turned your thoughts more to Spiritual Things, and have prayed more to the Father. If you will continue to do these things, you will soon be in that condition of soul where I can make the necessary Rapport with you in order to deliver my messages.

I have been very much disappointed in not being able to deliver my messages of the Higher Truths, as I intended. I have felt that we have lost much valuable time in pursuing our work. It is True. Now, I hope that we will not have to delay longer our communications. We will not, if you will take my advice, and in that way try to remedy the difficulties that beset us.

I know that you are interested in the work, and intellectually desire to receive the messages. This, as I have told you, is not sufficient. You must get in that condition of Soul Development that will bring you in rapport with me. I come to you for the purpose of writing these Higher Truths. It has been explained to you, that a particular quality of Rapport is required in order that we may be able to get in that condition of Harmony that will enable us to use your brain and hand so that the messages may be delivered. So for the next few days try to have your soul opened up to the inflowing of the Divine Love, so that the development may come to you.

I have many messages to write before the book will be completed. So have many other spirits who are engaged in the work. Pray, and let all the longings of your soul go to the Father. You will realize the response that will fit you for the work.

With my Love I will say goodnight, your brother and friend, Jesus.

I am here, John.

Let me write a few lines, as I see that you are expecting some of the Higher Spirits to write tonight. Yet you are not just in that condition which will enable them to write of the Higher Truths that are waiting to be made (known) to you.

I am sorry that this is so, for there are many messages to be delivered. The spirits are very anxious to write. You are in better condition that you have been for some time. If you continue to improve, in a very short time you will be able to receive the messages.

Tonight I merely wish to say that we have been with you a great deal, trying to influence your mind, and tune your thoughts to things Spiritual, so that your soul may become more in accord with us, and we be enabled to make the rapport that is necessary. You have thought more tonight of these Spiritual Truths than for sometime. As a consequence, your soul has had a new Awakening, as it were, and taken on the qualities that will enable us to form the rapport. For that result we are thankful, pleased, and desire to advise you to continue in these thoughts, and the opening up of your soul. We are all very anxious for the return of the Rapport and the opportunity to continue the writings, as so very much time has been lost and the urgency of communicating the Truths is very great. They must not be longer delayed.

As you have been told; the most effective way of reestablishing the Rapport is by your praying more sincerely and frequently to the Father for the inflowing of His Divine Love. For you must know that the possession of that Divine Love in your soul, brings you in closer union with us, than anything else that could possibly exist.

I say this that you may appreciate the importance of action, in the particular mentioned, on your part. Also the vital necessity for doing the work which has been assigned you to do. So take my advice and make the effort. Success will undoubtedly come. We will all be happier.

I will not write more tonight as I prefer to wait until you get in a condition which will permit me to disclose some of the Divine Truths that I desire to communicate.
Believe that we are with you and Love you. Above all else, desire the development of your soul in Divine Love and progress towards a condition of religious (spiritual) experience.

Pray to the Father, and believe that it is I who am writing. That I am your sincere and True guardian and friend, John.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

October 22nd, 1918

Let me write a few lines tonight, as I have not written for a long time and am anxious to say a few words, which may be of help to you.

I have been present on many evenings when you were expecting to receive communications and were disappointed because of reasons, or causes, that you could not understand, except that you were not in that condition which would enable the spirits to make a Rapport with you.

Well, this is True, and is the immediate cause of the want of power of communicating. It is well that you understand more than this, for in order to remedy the difficulty you must have some knowledge of the seat thereof.

I have explained to you the Laws controlling Rapport and Communication, and endeavored to make it as plain and understandable as possible, so that you, at least, might grasp its meaning. I see there are some things that you do not understand. Because thereof, you have had the recent experience of not being able to receive the many messages, that were waiting to be delivered through your brain and hand.

As I have said, the first, and most important, requirement is that you be in that condition of soul, which will, because of its qualities, enable the (Celestial) spirits who may desire to write the Higher Messages, to form a Rapport, or union, with you, which means simply to take charge and control of your brain. A brain, which because of certain qualities and thoughts having possessed it, will be in Harmony with the thoughts that these spirits desire to transmit through it. Just as it is absolutely necessary that the medium through which it is desired that the electric fluid shall flow, must be a medium possessing such nature and qualities as will permit the fluid to flow through it. A wire, or medium, may be made of wood and the electric fluid be present, ready to flow through it, but cannot. Why? Not because the wire or wood may not be perfect in itself as such wire; but, because the wire has not that nature and quality that will permit the electric fluid to make a union with it and thus control it. So it is with the brain of the mortal. That such brain has the possibility of possessing, when properly prepared, those qualities that will admit of this union and control, while the wood has not. But the brain, when devoid of this preparation, is just as non-receptive to the union with, and control of, these spirits, as to the Rapport, as is the wooden wire to the union with the electric fluid.

You have been told on numerous occasions that you were not in condition, and that the spirits could not make the Rapport, that you must make the effort to get in condition. This assertion and advice are all True. You were told to pray more to the Father, and think of Spiritual Things. Then you would become in that condition. This is True. The advice is helpful. You were not told what this praying to the Father, or thinking of Spiritual Thoughts, means. Hence, you may do these things, in a way, and yet not get in the condition.

I know that during a long period in the past you have been receiving many messages of the Higher Truths, and for the delivery of which, a brain highly prepared was necessary to receive the same. The thought has come to you, why were you able to receive these messages, at the time of their delivery, and not be able to receive them now. Because, as you further think, your brain is in as good condition now, as it was at those times. Well, in the latter thought you are mistaken. The fact of such mistake should be sufficient to convince you that your inability to receive the messages should not surprise you. During the periods mentioned, you prayed more often for the inflowing of the Divine Love, and your longings were intense. The desires to possess this Divine Love, which is so vital to the preparation of your brain, were so much more active. Also, your thoughts of Things Spiritual were so much more frequent. In other words, you were then seeking with your whole heart to learn the Divine Truths of God and to possess His Divine Love. Hence, your brain was continually in that condition, which enabled the spirits to make the union, and control it, for the purpose of their Higher Expressions.

Lately, you have not had the longings (as intensely), or prayed the prayers for the Divine Love as frequently. As a consequence, the qualities, and elements, of thought that have possessed your brain were not such, as to put your brain in that condition which made it receptive to the passing through it, of those thoughts of the Higher Truths. Now from this, you must not infer that this condition is a mere matter of brain condition, produced by itself, for it is not. You have had the intellectual desire to write and receive the messages, as much as you ever had. Also, to receive messages of the Higher Truths, that should be new, as well as edifying, to you. Your desires were real. You were disappointed because they were not realized. This merely demonstrates to you that there is something more than the mere mental, or intellectual, necessary to prepare the brain for the reception and transmission of that, which partakes of the Nature of Truth, and that has its source in something else than the mere human mind. These Higher Truths come from spirits whose minds, as you might say, are of the soul. As only soul can deal with soul, it requires that the preparation of the brain, should come from the exercise of soul powers upon the organs of that brain. Hence, the necessity for your soul being in that condition, that will produce in the brain, the qualities that will unite and permit the Truths of the Soul to be received and transmitted.

You must not only pray to the Father for the inflowing of this Divine Love, but you must pray often, until you realize almost constantly the possession of this Divine Love in your soul. Also, you must turn your thoughts, and I do not mean the merely intellectual thoughts, but the thoughts of the soul, which, as you have already had, and you may have again, to the Spiritual Truths which have been revealed to you, and to the Spiritual Realm where you believe other Spiritual Truths are waiting to be revealed. If you will thus pray, and think, you will find coming to you the desires and expectations of the fulfillment of these desires, and an enthusiasm which will come from the development of your soul by the possession of this Divine Love, and also the soul thoughts. This is what is meant by the condition necessary to enable the (Celestial) spirits to make the Rapport.

Of course, as to the ordinary matters of the Spirit World, where no special soul condition is required, the spirits can make rapport as they desire. In your case many of them could have written at the times you thought you were unable to receive any writings. But we thought it best that no spirit be permitted to write you, as it might endanger the probability of your getting in the condition that we desire, and which is necessary in order for your brain to receive our Vital and Important Messages. Hence, your Indian was directed to not permit any spirit to write you. He did not, though many made the effort to do so.

Well, I am glad that I can write you in this manner tonight. I hope you will consider what I have said, and realize the importance of your getting into the condition of which I speak. The brain must be used by the soul having the Divine Love active, and so prepared to receive the Rapport.

I will not write more tonight, but will merely say that we have many more messages which we desire to transmit.

So believe that I am frequently with you in my Love, and desire to help, protect, and make your mission a success.

Goodnight, your brother in Christ, John.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

October 25th, 1918
I am here, Jesus.

Well my dear brother, time is passing. The necessity for the revealing is very apparent, as humans are longing, and waiting, for that which will satisfy the natural cravings of their souls. Which the present religion, called christianity, has not in it, the qualities to satisfy.

I am pleased that you are in so much better condition, and that your Love is again becoming active and awakened, and operating upon the qualities of your brain so that a Rapport can be made, as recently explained to you by John in his message. Here I desire to impress upon you the necessity and desirability of your understanding, thoroughly, the Truths set forth in that message, and of meditating upon the same and making a personal application of what is therein written.

I would like very much to deliver a message dealing with Spiritual Truth tonight, but do not think that your condition is such as will enable me to take possession of your brain, and control the same, that the Qualities and Divine Truths of my message demands. So I will not attempt to write the message. Instead, will advise you somewhat upon the way in which you must think, and act, in order to perfect the condition, which you must possess, that the Rapport may be made.

John has told you to pray often to the Father so that the Divine Love may become more abundant and your soul becomes permeated with it, and, to think thoughts of Spiritual Things, until by such thinking, your brain may become as it were, infused with these thoughts. Thereby, receive those qualities that will make its conditions similar to the conditions of the minds of the Celestial Spirits, who may wish to form a union with your brain, and convey through it the Divine Truths that are waiting to be delivered. I confirm what John has written.

In addition, say that your praying must be more frequent, so that the soul may be freed from the condition, that the existence in it of thoughts not spiritual, be established. You need not wait for occasions, or opportunities, to formally pray. All during the day and evening let your longings for the Divine Love ascend to the Father. A long prayer, or even one formulated into words, is not necessary, as in order to have the longing, it is not necessary that words should be used to give it form. The longing may be rapid as unformed thought, and as effective for the Father to catch, as I may say. The longing is quicker than the thought. The answer to the same will come with as much certainty, and Divine Love, as if you were to put the longing into the most exact form. Prayers of this kind ascend to the Father, and are heard, and answered. By a Law of your Relationship to the Father, affect the qualities of the brain in the way of preparing it for the union with the Spiritual Thoughts of the (Celestial) spirits who desire to write, as I have stated. Your thoughts of Spiritual Things, or of the Truths of the Spirit World, as they have already been revealed to you, especially those, which pertain to the Divine Love and Mercy of the Father, and to His Will, in their passing and operating, also affect the qualities of the brain, so as to produce the condition which is so necessary for our Rapport.

It may be surprising to you that this condition is required in the brain of a human, also the development of the soul, which really produces the condition, in order that a rapport may be made, so that the Spiritual Truths may be delivered. Also, surprising that you have been selected from all the humans on Earth in whom this condition and development shall be made. It may be more surprising to know that it is True.

There are certain qualities in your constitution, both spiritual, and material, that render you susceptible to the influence of our powers, and to the use by us for the purpose of our design and work, which determines one to choose you for the work, in the way in which I and the other high (Celestial) spirits have heretofore used you. It may seem strange to you, that in all the long ages preceding, I have not found one human with the qualification to fit them for the work.

I have used others before, but they have failed to submit their minds, souls, beliefs, and forethoughts, to our influence and directions, as you have so far done. Many humans have the qualified conditions of Spiritual, and material, make up to perform our wishes and work. As they all have free wills, which we cannot compel. As circumstances, environments, education, and beliefs, are elements, which affect and determine the possibility of our finding an instrument suitable for our purposes, we have not been able to find a medium who was qualified to be used for our work.

You, of course, understand that you were not selected because of any special goodness, or freedom from sin, or because you were more Beloved by the Father. Or naturally, and I mean according to your course of living, by reason of any Spiritual condition that you were in. For there were many superior to you in goodness, and more in At-Onement with the Will of the Father, and whose Divine Love, and the results there from, were more perfect than yours. So you will realize that you were not selected because of any special spiritual merits possessed by you.

As you have been told; all things in the Spirit World, as well as on Earth, are controlled by Immutable Laws. All spirits, as well as mortals, are subject to those Laws. The Laws of Rapport and Communication must be complied with by spirits, no matter how much elevated, and also by humans. No spirit, by reason of the possession of any supposed power, can set aside this Law. While spirits have not this power, yet they may have such Knowledge of Conditions, that they can discern what qualities in the condition of a human, are susceptible to the influence and molding by the spirits, so that as a result thereof, the Law may be brought into operation. This briefly will explain to you why I selected you as my medium and mouthpiece. For know this, that for a long time I have been endeavoring to influence and mold your mind and beliefs, so that your soul might become developed in such a way, that conditions might be formed, that would enable us to make a Rapport that would permit of our controlling your brain to convey these Messages of Divine Truth.

You were naturally a medium. For ordinary purposes, it was not difficult for the spirits to control and communicate through you the Truths of the Spirit World. Which are not of a Nature, such as I and others have communicated, in reference to the Soul Spheres and the Relationship of God to human, in the Higher Spiritual Sense. As you read John's message you will the better understand what I intend to explain at this point.

There is another phase to all this, more personal to you. This is; that while we have been developing you for the purpose of doing our work, and helping make effective our mission, your soul, as you, has been developed in its Spiritual Nature. You have become in closer Union with the Father, and have partaken, to a large extent, of His Divine Love. To a degree, been transformed into His Essence, so that you have become a very different entity, from what you were, when your development for our purpose commenced. As a consequence, you will derive all the benefits that flow from an experience such as you have had.

You are now one of us, in the progress towards the Fountainhead of the Father's Divine Love, and have taken on a part of His Immortality. It depends only upon yourself how rapid your progress shall be towards a Complete Transformation, such as spirits who are inhabitants of the Celestial Spheres possess. You need not wait until you come to the Spirit World in order to make a rapid progression. Although, it will be more difficult for you to progress while in the flesh as you understand. But, wonderful progress may be made while in the flesh. You have been told the Secret of this progress.

I will further say that you have a closer association with spirits that are nearer the Father and more possessed of His Essence and Substance, than have any humans of Earth at this time. To you this may seem extravagant and improbable. I declare to you that it is as True, that I, and many spirits who come to you and write, are in the Celestial Spheres of God's Immortality.

Well, I have written a long time, and you are somewhat tired. Remember my advice. Pray often and earnestly, if but for a moment. The condition will be yours. We will come and continue our Revealment.

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

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

November 15th, 1918
I am here, John Wesley.

I desire to speak to you upon a matter, which is very closely associated with your mission, and the work you are now doing. I am one of those spirits who are engaged in the carrying on of that work on this side of the borderline, and know the importance of the work, and the necessity for its being done as rapidly as possible, so that humans may have the opportunity to learn, know, and teach the Divine Truths of God. I am with you quite frequently as you receive the messages from the (Celestial) spirits who are revealing these Divine Truths, and read your mind and soul, and know your exact condition, regarding your conception of the task that has been imposed upon you, and which you have assumed to do. Hence, can tell you with almost certainty of your attitude towards this great undertaking.When I say attitude, I do not mean only that of which you are conscious, but also that which is apparently latent, but which, nevertheless, is operating and obstructing, or assisting, the progress of the work.

I am glad to say that just now you have a fuller appreciation of your position in the matter, and of the necessity for completing the writings, and the dissemination of the Divine Truths that they contain. If you continue in this attitude and permit your desires therein to intensify and become manifested in actual performance, the work will progress rapidly. The great end in view will be accomplished.

If you will consider for a moment, you will realize that there is nothing in all your Earth, so important to Humankind, as the Knowledge of these Divine Truths. For they deal with, and affect, that which belongs to the Eternity of the hereafter, and the future of the souls of humans, and lead to a destiny which will be a Divine Existence, or a mere living of the Perfect Human of their Original Creation.

Of course, humans are really more interested in their Future Destiny, than in any, or all, things of Earth, and the Life thereon, but give less attention to the ascertaining of the Truths of the same than to many, merely human things, which exist only during the short Earth Life. This is not to be wondered at. Because they have no satisfactory, or convincing, means of learning what this Destiny is, or may be. It is natural for the desires and interests of humans to be attracted to that, which has certainty, and probability of realization, rather than to that, which is devoid of the elements that give assurance and hope founded on Knowledge.

As you know, many of the expectations of humans, as to the Future Life, are based entirely upon what is called faith. Which itself is founded upon what the teachers of the Bible call the mysteries of God, which are not the subject of research or study, because God in His Wisdom retains to Himself, with a jealous care, the understanding of these mysteries. So humans, in their lives, accepting the mysteries and applying the faith, turn their thoughts to these things very rarely. Even then, in a perfunctory way, applying the idea, that sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Consequently, humans live more for the present. In a way, let the future come and find them in a condition that surprises and injures them, and makes for them a Destiny, that were the Truth known to them, need not be theirs.
When humans shall be able to learn the Truths that affect, or rather create, their Destinies, if believed in, and lived, they will not be so indifferent to the Life of the Future, even though they retain their interests in the Life of Earth.

Now, in this generation (1918), when humans are thinking for themselves, and not resting satisfied with the dogmatic teachings of their supposed leaders, they are becoming incredulous, and demanding more Light. Are refusing to accept the teachings of the mysteries as satisfying to their feelings of want of those things, which will give them an assurance of the Truths of Living as mortals. Such faith is dying. Humans prefer its death, to the living in the uncertainties. This preferring to thus die does not imply, nor is it really True, that they are not, in their souls, interested in the Eternity part of their lives, and all that it means. But, becoming hopeless, because they see no succor from their unsatisfied condition, they resort to the Moral Teachings and conduct, for their salvation, having the hope that a right living in accordance therewith, will result in a future, as well as a present, in which there must be some happiness, and that "all will be well."

This, I say, is the condition of many humans today. Because thereof, the ground is fallow for the planting and the nurturing of the Divine Truths that are being Revealed to you. So you must appreciate what the Revealment, and dissemination, of these Divine Truths mean to the World at this time.

I know that you must give much time and labor to the work of fulfilling your mission. Also, that you must live a large portion of your Life, and thoughts, with the spirits who are using you for the Great Object in view. This apparent sacrifice will soon cease to be a sacrifice. Become to you a joy, and a source of never-ending benefit to your soul and its future.

So you must work, and think thoughts of the Spiritual. Above all, continue in earnest prayer to the Father for increased Bestowals of His Divine Love. You will not be disappointed. I felt that I should write you as I have, and while you, I know, expected some spirit to communicate some unknown and important Vital Truth, yet I believe that what I have said may serve to facilitate the delivery of the messages.
I will not write longer tonight.

?

I am a possessor of this Divine Love. From this you will understand what my Love is for you, and how earnestly I pray to the Father to Bless you, and help you in the Great Work which is yours to do.

Goodnight, I am, your brother in Christ, John Wesley.

Law of Rapport and Communication between Spirits and Mortals

March 7th, 1920
I am here, Jesus.

Let me write a line, for I see that you are desirous to hear from me and obtain the encouragement that always flows from my communications.

I have been with you tonight, as during many nights passed, with the desire to write you upon subjects important to the work that you are to do. Was prevented from doing so only by the condition in which you were that prevented me from making the Rapport. As I have told you before, we are governed by Laws, in regards to the kind of messages that we may communicate to you. Unless you are in condition that will permit these Laws of Rapport and Communication to be complied with, we are powerless to use your brain for the purpose of delivering our messages. You also know what the remedy is for the defect that may exist at any particular time. We have urged upon you to seek this remedy. Thereby, get in the proper and necessary condition that will enable us to make the rapport. But you have not been successful in applying the remedy. Not because it is not available to you, but because of your course of thought, and failure to pray to the Father for an inflowing of His Divine Love into your soul. Thereby, causing the proper influence to be caused upon your brain which will enable us to take possession of its functioning and deliver the messages that we have to communicate.

You are in better condition tonight than you have been for some time. I hope that you will continue to think of these Spiritual Truths and pray to the Father. If you do this, we shall soon succeed in writing to you many of the Divine Truths that we are so anxious to communicate.

There are very many of these Divine Truths yet to be revealed to you. Some, of far greater importance than you have already received, except those relating to the Divine Love. We are anxious that you receive them as rapidly as possible, for they are needed by humankind. Many souls are longing for the Truth that can only be made known through you. So my brother, think deeply of what I have said. Let your work be to you the most important thing in your Life. As you know you have only a few years yet to live. If you do not do our work it may be that a lifetime will elapse before we may be able to get another who shall have the qualifications that are required. You, sometimes, I know, realize the importance of your work, but lately, and more often, you let your thoughts turn to, and become absorbed in, things that are of the mere Mortal Life. As a consequence the Greater Things are put aside and neglected. I like that this may not continue. We will be with you, and give you all the help that is possible for us to give, and hope that from now on it may be successful.

Tonight I will not write upon any subject of a formal character, and wish to say that we are ready to continue our messages, and are dependent only upon you getting in the condition that will enable us to do so.

So think of what I write. Pray earnestly to the Father. You will be able to overcome this inclination to lower your thoughts to these material things. We understand just what you need to enable you to turn your Life on Earth. As we have told you, these things shall be provided. You will not be compelled to suffer for anything of this nature that is necessary for your comfort or living. Only trust in us, and do the work instead of thinking of these things.

I will come soon and write another message that will be of importance, and far reaching with its effect upon the belief of humans. Many spirits are with you, watching over you and ready to help. You must believe this and act on that belief.

?

Well, as I have said, it is because of your want of condition. The spirit who moves your pencil, are those who merely have the desire to write and are not present to do so. Your guide, the Indian (White Eagle), is a very careful guardian and will not permit many of them to intervene, but occasionally he does let one write, so that you may know that there are many spirits surrounding you ready to take advantage of the opportunity to write.

Until our work is accomplished, this kind of spirit will not be permitted to write. You will remember that sometime ago we suddenly stopped the spirit in darkness from writing you and asking your help. This was done, not that we did not want these spirits to get all the help possible, but because the work that we are doing, are just now, of more importance to Humanity, as well as to spirits. Every other kind of communication must be stopped, in order that our work shall proceed. Then you will see how important the work is, for ordinarily nothing is of so much importance as the rescuing of a soul from sin and ignorance.

I will not write more tonight.

Yes, I will pray with you. I hope that you will let all the longings of your soul enter into your prayers. For the greater the longing, the greater will be the abundance of the Divine Love received in answer to your prayers.

I will come soon, goodnight, your brother and friend, Jesus.
