SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Spiritual Awakening

    When the soul is in a condition of sin and error, it is not responsive to the inflowing of the Holy Spirit.  In order to get into a condition of receptivity to these influences, it must have a Spiritual Awakening, as to its Actual Condition of enslavement by these things.  Until such a Spiritual Awakening comes to it, there is no possibility of its receiving the Divine Love of God into it, and of turning its thoughts to the Divine Truths of God, and to the Practices of Life, that will help it in its progress towards a condition of Freedom.

Spiritual Awakening

January 20th, 1915
I am here, your old friend G. R.

    Yes it is I.  I am glad to be able to write to you again.  I told your wife that I desired to write and tell you of my progress in Spiritual matters.  As you are kind enough to give me the opportunity, I will try to tell you how my eyes were opened to the Things of the Holy Spirit, and my heart to the Divine Love of God.

    Well, as you know, when I first commenced to write to you, I did not exactly believe in a God, or Jesus, or his teachings, except as they related to the moral condition of humans.  When you first commenced to talk to me about these Spiritual Things, I thought that you were merely telling me the things that you had learned in your church, or Sunday school.  That they were only intended for men and women of no capacity to think for themselves and suited only to receive what the preachers might tell them.  So, you see, I was not in a very receptive condition of mind to enable me to believe that what you told me had any foundation in fact, or in Truth.

    Jesus, to me, was just the same as any other human who had received large conceptions of the Truth, but he was only a mere human.  In the sense that what he attempted to teach, he had learned by study and meditation.  Or through some worldly source that I did not know of.  At any rate, I believed that his teachings were not the result of inspiration, or derived from a source any different from what humankind received other information as to things of nature, or of spirit. Well, as you continued to tell me that I was mistaken, and that there is a Source from which All Good flows, other than the mere mind, or conscience, of human, I began to think about the matter.  When I looked around me and saw that your mother and wife, who claimed that they had received this Divine Love of God, which you insisted was waiting for me to obtain, were so beautiful and happy, while I, and my folks, were not very beautiful, and not at all happy, I began to inquire the cause.  When you told me that their, I mean your mother's and wife's, condition was due to this Divine Love of God, I asked them to tell me about the Nature of this Divine Love, and The Way in which they obtained It.  Your mother, bless her soul, took great pains to instruct me in these things.

    When I learned that prayer was the only Way to this Divine Love, and saw you praying for me with all your heart, and in great earnestness, I commenced to pray also.  I must confess that my prayers were not accompanied with much faith.  But I continued to pray.  Every night, when you prayed for me and for the many others who were with you praying, I tried to exercise all the faith possible and prayed for more Faith.  This continued for some time.  One day your grandmother, who is a most wonderful spirit in goodness and beauty, came to me and said that she was your grandmother and was very much interested in me, on your account as well as on my own, and commenced to unfold to me the great efficacy of prayer.  She assured me that if I would only try to believe, and pray to God to help me believe, He would answer my prayers.  I would soon find that with my earnest efforts, Faith would come to me.  With Faith would come this Divine Love into my heart.  With this Divine Love would come happiness and joy.

    So I listened to her.  Tried to believe that what she told me must be True, and that she was interested in me and desired only my happiness.  I continued to pray, as I said.   One day, after I had received some considerable Faith, I met Jesus.  He told me of the Wonderful Things that his Father had prepared for me, if I would only believe and ask Him to give them to me.  Jesus was so very beautiful and Loving that I could not resist the influence which came over me.  Then my Faith increased.  I prayed with all my heart and soul.

    At last, Light came to me.  With it, such an inflowing of Divine Love as I never dreamed could exist, either in the Earth, or in the Spirit World.  But it came to me.  I felt as if I were a new spirit.  Such happiness came as I never experienced before.  Then that dear mother of yours came and rejoiced with me.  Also your beautiful wife, who had tried so hard to induce me to seek for this Divine Love.

    Oh, Padgett, I tell you that in all the Wide Universe of God there is nothing to compare to this Divine Love of the Father.  Let me say, that in all my Life, when only my intellect ruled me, there was nothing to compare with that which came to me with this inflowing of the Divine Love.

    I am now in the Third Sphere, with many beautiful and happy spirits.  Your mother and wife are higher up, and are so beautiful and good, that when I am in their company I feel that I will become a much happier man if I will try to follow them.  Your father has progressed too.  So has Professor Salyards.

    Well, my soul is one now that is filled with this Divine  Love.  My mind is elevated in its thoughts, and not inclined to think of those things that are merely intellectual.  For I tell you that while Knowledge of all God's Laws, and Nature's apparent mysteries, is desirable, yet a Knowledge of this Divine Love of God is far and above compare, and not only more necessary, but more desirable.   I would not give the feelings that come to me from the possession of this Divine Love, for all the sensations of delight that might arise from the discovery of the most stupendous and important Law of the workings of Nature.

    Let this Divine Love come first.  Then the other acquirements will only help to show the spirit that God is a God of Wisdom and Power, as well as of Love.  But as you have read, "Love is the fulfilling of the law", nothing else is. The human who has all the knowledge and wisdom without this Divine Love is poor indeed.

    Jesus is the most wonderful of all the spirits in both Divine Love and the Knowledge of the Father's Attributes.  He is the greatest.  Knows that the Father's Plans to Save and Redeem humankind, are as he teaches.  So you must listen to him and believe.

    I am going to try to learn more of his teachings.  When I do, you shall know what I learn.  Jesus appears to me the one altogether lovely.  He has no competitor.  No one who sees him, if he has any of this Divine Love in their soul, can fail to know that he is the True Jesus of the Bible.  The most perfect son of his Father.  I realized this only after this Divine Love came to me.  It seems that spirits who have not this Divine Love, do not realize who Jesus is.  Or, how wonderful and glorious he is.  This may seem strange to you, but it is a fact.  Only when the spirit has an Awakening of their soul's Love for God, does Jesus appear as their great brother and teacher of this Great Love of the Father.

    You must not let the things of the material Life lead you to think that you must wait until you come to the Spirit World to get this Great Love.  For I tell you that the human whose soul is opened to the inflowing of this Divine Love while on Earth, is a much more fortunate human than they who waits until their Earthly Life ends.  If I had only become conscious of this Divine Love when on Earth, I would have been saved many hours of suffering and unhappiness after I became a spirit.  My own experience is so True to what so many undergo, and will undergo, that if I could proclaim to every human on Earth, the necessity of becoming possessed of this Divine Love while on Earth, I would do so with all my might and strength.

    I can tell you of my experience in passing over.  I do not think it best to do so tonight, as it would take too long and require more strength than you have tonight.  Sometime soon I will do so in detail.  I am so glad that I have been Redeemed by this Great Love, the teachings of Jesus, and the help of your spirit relatives.  Also, by the help of your prayers, that I cannot express the extent of my gladness.  Nothing in all Heaven, or Earth, can compare with the feelings of Joy that come to a soul when it realizes that it is At-One with the Father in Divine Love and Power.

?
    Yes, they know, and are with you every night as you pray.  They don't seem to quite understand though that you can help them in any way, but still they, in a manner, feel some peculiar sensation as you pray, and the others pray with you.  Do not stop praying for them.

    I tell you that you are a wonderfully blessed human, in having such a Loving Christian mother and grandmother to pray with and watch over you all your Life.  If all humans had Christian parents to teach and show them The Way to this Divine Love of God, as they grow from childhood to humanhood, many a time of suffering and unhappiness would be avoided.  Many a spirit would come into this Life with many less sins to atone for.  Your old friend, G. R.

Spiritual Awakening

March 5th, 1915

I am here, your Grandmother.

    Yes, it is I.  I want to tell you of my experience in progressing in the Spirit Life.

    Well, when I passed over, I was received in the Spirit World by your grandfather, and my own dear mother, who had been in the Spirit World for so very many years.  She was then living in the Seventh Sphere.  Was a most beautiful and happy spirit.  Now she is far up in the Celestial Spheres, and occasionally comes to see me.  Tells me of the great beauty of her home, and of the wonderful spirits who inhabit the Spheres where she lives.

    She lives in a High Sphere of the Celestial Heavens, and is with many of the Redeemed Spirits, who lived on Earth many centuries ago.  She mentioned some of them who were well known on Earth, such as; John Wesley and his brother Charles, Martin Luther, and some of his contemporaries who were engaged in the great reforms of those days.  Whitefield is one she named, and Bunyan, also.  They seemed to have reached this sphere by obtaining the Divine Love that we have written you of.  So, when I think that, through gradual development and progression of my Spiritual Being (soul), there are these high spheres for me to attain to, I feel that my Faith and seeking for the Divine Love have a great deal yet to accomplish, in The Way of Soul Development.

    Well, shortly after I passed over, I progressed to the Third Sphere, and thought that there the very seat of heaven must be, because my happiness was so much greater than I ever anticipated.

?

    Well, when I first entered the Spirit World, I confess I was disappointed.  Because, I did not see the Father on his throne, and Jesus sitting on his right hand, as I had been taught to believe.  It was not long before I realized that such a belief had no foundation in Truth.  That God has no throne, such as the writers of the Bible had declared, but that His Spirit is manifested everywhere and in all places.  Is a Spirit that has no form, in the sense that I had been taught to believe.

    After living in the Third Sphere for some little time, and having received much information from spirits who lived in higher spheres, and having received a great abundance of God's Divine Love, I progressed to the Fifth Sphere.  Found a wonderful home of beauty and Harmony among spirits who had experiences similar to my own, who had received the Divine Love to a degree, which gives us all this Great Happiness that I tell you of.

    In some of the planes of this sphere, are many spirits who have not received this Divine Love, but who have attained to wonderful moral and intellectual qualifications.  They were not so happy as were those who had received the Great Love of the Father.  They gave their thoughts and works, more to things that pertain to moral and intellectual progress, than to the Soul Development in the Divine Love.

    It may seem strange to you that these spirits could live in an atmosphere where so much of God's Divine Love was manifested by the numerous spirits who had received this Divine Love, yet, not realize that this Divine Love is the one Great Thing absolutely necessary for their further progress and greater happiness.  But such is the fact.  Many of these spirits of the greatest intellectual development are still pursuing their studies of Laws that have to do solely with things that relate to the operations of Spiritual Laws, and the causes of phenomena that astonish both mortals and spirits.

    I have wondered, many times, that they have not had an Spiritual Awakening to the Real and Grander Truths of Spirit Life, and to the causes of the development of the souls of those with whom they come in contact, who are so much more beautiful and happier, than are these students of merely Spiritual Laws, and causes that produce only astonishing phenomena.

    Strange as it may seem to some, intellectual progression is not necessary to Soul Progression.  With Soul Progression by obtaining the Divine Love, comes a wonderful knowledge of these other things that I speak of.  I, as you know, was a person of just ordinary mental acquirements.  Yet in this Spirit World, I have left behind me many great minds possessed of wonderful intellectual information.  I mean not only as regards the progress of my soul, but also as regards the attainment of Knowledge that these humans (spirits) are devoting their time and work to obtain.  Strange also, it may seem to you, that with Soul Development in the Divine Love, there comes intellectual development.  To us who have experienced this fact, it is not strange, because the mind is only an attribute, or, as I may say, a quality of the soul.  As the Soul Develops in the Divine Love, the mind must necessarily also develop.

    Philosophy is merely the conclusion of minds that have given thought and investigation to the subject matter of that philosophy.  When it is determined by the mere mind, it is still uncertain, and subject to revision and change, as the mind may change.  The mind, in its development, does not necessarily learn the Full and Real Truth.  In this Spirit Life, among these humans of purely great minds, that do not possess the Divine Love, there is as much variety of opinion, and as many disputes as to what is the Truth, as there are on Earth.  The mind, of itself, cannot always discern the Truth, because it is not infallible, even when it is the mind of a spirit, and that spirit a highly developed one.

    As the Soul Develops in the Divine Love, this Soul Development means, that what comes to it as a fact, is a Truth, the Everlasting Truth.  The soul does not learn all Truths at once, but the Truth that it does learn, is one that never changes, and lets no revision alter, or set it aside.  No Truth, of the soul's discernment, is ever shown to be error.  No error ever becomes a part of the soul's discernment of Truth.  So, you see, the great road to the ascertainment of the Realities of God, is through, and only through, the development of the soul by the inflowing of the Divine Love.  The eye of the soul is that interior perception which needs not reason from cause and effect to discern and forever establish the Truths of God.

    So, how very necessary that humans, and spirits, should learn the great fact; that if they would learn the Truth of Spirit Life, they must endeavor to develop the soul's powers of perception, by seeking for the inflowing into their souls of the Divine Love.

    I could tell you many wonderful things to illustrate these propositions, if I had the time to do so.  I have not now.  Sometime I will go more in detail on this subject.  Then you will more fully understand what I mean.

    Well, after I had lived in this Fifth Sphere and learned the Great and Wonderful Divine Truths (of Divine Love) that are taught therein, I progressed to the Seventh Sphere.  There learned what Real Happiness is, as I thought.  No spirit, who has not received this Great Love of the Father, lives in this sphere.  Because the mind is, as it were, absorbed by the soul, to such a great extent, that without the Soul Development, the mind would have no place of lodgment.  I mean that the mind, as such, then becomes so subordinated to the powers and operations of the soul perceptions, that it cannot exist as mere mind, independent of the Soul's Development.

    In this Sphere all is grand and beautiful to an extent that I cannot describe, because you have no possible mental conception with which I can compare such beauty and grandeur.

    Our homes are very Harmonious, and without stain or anything, that emanates from things other than the soul's essence and power.  No mere intellectual happiness exists.  No spirit, who has not this Great Love, could possibly be happy there.  Yet, while all this happiness exists, I was told that happiness is far greater in the Celestial Spheres (The Kingdom of God).  Consequently, I was not satisfied to remain in the Seventh Sphere.  Although, I could not realize how my happiness could be any greater than it was.  Yet, as I say, I was not contented to remain in my home there.  I was also told that there was a Way to get into this Celestial Sphere, a Way so easy that the mere statement of it caused doubt.  But I prayed for Faith and the Divine Love.  On an occasion my Faith brought the Divine Love into my soul in such abundance.  I progressed to the First Celestial Sphere, where I now am.

    The Book of Revelation in the Bible, in its most extravagant description of the New Jerusalem, gives no True conception of what the beauty and magnificence of this sphere are.  I will not attempt to describe them, for I cannot.  A human, or spirit either, who has never seen the wonderful beauty of this Sphere, cannot conceive of what its magnificence is.

    I am so very happy that it seems to me there can be no greater happiness.  Yet, my mother tells me that there is.  That the Divine Love of the Higher Spheres is so much more intense and filled with so much more of God's Divinity, that I cannot have the slightest conception of what it is.

    I am now trying to reach these Higher Spheres.  I am told that Faith and prayer for the inflowing into my soul of the Divine Love are the only instrumentalities that will enable me to do so.  My prayers are constant, and my Faith is growing.  I realize that when the Holy Spirit fills me with this Divine Love, as I expect it to do, I shall progress.

    So you see, one great element of God's Method of making His Redeemed happy, is to set before them a higher mark for which they may seek, with the assurance that it can be attained.

    Well, I have written you quite a letter.  Feel that I must stop now, as I need to leave the Earth's atmosphere for awhile.

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

Spiritual Awakening

May 3rd, 1915

I am here, Professor Salyards.

    Yes, and I am very much pleased that you have, and that you are in such good condition to write tonight.  Well, I desire to continue my discourse on:  The Laws of the Spirit World, as known to many spirits.

    The next Law is:  That no matter how much knowledge of material things and of purely Physical Laws a human may have acquired on Earth, their knowledge is not sufficient to fit them for the Higher Things of the Spirit Life.

    Many humans think that because they have this great knowledge of the Material Universe, they need not attempt to learn the Laws which control the operations of Spirit Life, or the Laws which determine the position and development of that part of human, commonly known as the soul.

    This is a very great mistake.  All human beings, sooner or later, will realize the necessity of learning these more important Laws of the Soul Development, and of the Spiritual (soul) part of human.  I never, while on Earth, attempted to investigate these Laws.  Consequently, when I came into the Spirit World, I was as a new born babe in my understanding of these Laws.  So will all humans be, who have neglected the investigation and study of these Laws, as I did.

    I would, therefore, advise every human to give their best endeavor to the study of these Laws.  Especially, that part of them which deals more particularly with the Soul's Development and Progress towards the greatest happiness.  These Laws are set forth and declared to a very large extent in the New Testament.  And, in some parts of the Old are many suggestions as to what a human should do to save their soul from (spiritual) death.  By this I mean the death that comes with neglecting to exercise all the qualities of the soul that a human is capable of exercising, when in the Mortal Life.  A human may let their faculties of mind die by neglecting to feed them the proper mental food, and so with the soul.  Of course, the soul never dies, as far as known, in the sense of absolute destruction and disintegration, but it can get into such a state of inertia, or lethargy, that, so far as it is a part of the activities of human, it may as well be dead.

    I don't mean to say that the mere neglect to exercise these soul faculties will cause a human's soul to remain dead forever, for that is not so.  Sooner, or later, either in the Mortal Life, or in the Spirit Life, this soul will have an Awakening.  But that Awakening may be delayed for many years, and even centuries.  In its Highest Sense (the Divine Love), it may never have an Awakening.  So let humans know the importance of studying and applying these Spiritual Laws to their own selves while mortals.  When they come to be spirits, they will find what a great advantage to their progression and happiness such study and application have proved to be.

    There is another Law of the Spirit World that is of vital importance to those in the Mortal Life.  One which they can learn.  That is; that no human can, of themselves, save themselves from the penalties of the Law of Compensation.  I have written about this before, but it is of such vast importance, and affects all human beings to such an extent, that I feel justified in saying something more on the subject.

    This Law of Compensation is as fixed as any of God's Laws, and cannot be avoided under any condition, or circumstances, except one.  That is the Redemption of a human's soul by the Divine Love of the Father entering into it, and making it At-One with His Own.  Like His in all the qualities that partake of the Divine Essence.

    I know that many humans do not believe that there can be any Forgiveness of Sin, because they say it is impossible to make clean, in a moment, the soul of a human that has been steeped in everything vile and sinful while living the Life of a mortal.  Well, this I believe to be True.  I do not think any of our greatest teachers of these Highest Truths attempt to declare the doctrine of instantaneous cleansing of a vile and sinful soul.  At least, that is not the doctrine taught by the Greatest of All Teachers, the man of Nazareth, whom I sometimes see and converse with.  He, I believe, knows more of the Laws governing the salvation of humans, than any other, or all other, teachers combined.

    His teaching here is; that while a soul is not instantaneously cleansed by receiving a portion of the Divine Love, as we have heretofore explained it to you, yet the inflowing of such Divine Love into the soul of a human starts them into the way of right thinking, and causes them to realize that their soul is open to the Influence of this Divine Love.  So mortals, as well as spirits, may receive this Awakening of Divine Grace, to a very large extent, as soon as they realize that this Divine Love is the only thing that will remove the penalties of this Law of Compensation.

    I do not believe that immediately after the sinner feels this Divine Love coming into their soul, they become a saint, and at once gets rid of their evil nature (the nature of the human mind at this time), for that can hardly be.  Such an instantaneous cleansing would scarcely serve the purpose for which the work of this Redemptive Love is intended.

    Some persons seem to be able to receive more of this Divine Love in a short time than do others.  Consequently, their complete Redemption is more quickly accomplished.  But to me, and I have experienced the inflowing of this Divine Love, and its effect upon my sinful nature (of my thoughts and beliefs), and upon my recollections of the deeds of my Earth Life which call into operation this Law of Compensation, there does not seem to be any probability of an instantaneous cleansing of the soul, so that, a human suddenly becomes fitted to live in the Celestial Heavens, where the Father's Divine Love in all its Purity and Completeness exists.

    I know it is taught by many preachers, and it is also the dogma of some churches, that the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin, and that, in the twinkling of an eye.  But you must not believe this, for it is not True.  The blood of Jesus was spilled many centuries ago.  Is now become a part of other elements of the Natural World, and cannot save anyone.  I go further and say, as Jesus has taught me, that his blood never had any efficacy in saving anyone.  He never taught that his blood could do any such thing.  Or, that the shedding of his blood was, in any sense, the means of saving a soul.  He is not now teaching any such doctrine, and is disappointed that those who lead the masses of Humankind should teach any such doctrine, because it takes their attention away from the One and Vital Principle which is necessary to their salvation.  That is; the New Birth; which means merely the flowing into a human's soul, and becoming a part of it, of the Divine Love of the Father.  It does not come to a human because the blood of Jesus was a sacrifice, to appease the wrath and requirements of the Father, or because of any vicarious suffering of Jesus.

    To return to this Law of Compensation.  No human, by their own exertions, can save themselves from the operations of this Law.  They, so long as they have this idea of depending on their own powers, will have to pay the penalties.  Of course, as they pay these penalties, they progress nearer and nearer to a time, and condition, when the Law will cease to operate upon them.  They will become comparatively happy.  Such payment may require long years of suffering and unhappiness.

    So, I say, let human know, that for every act and deed, and for not doing what they should have done, they will have to answer the Law (of Compensation).  I do not mean by this repetition to cause humans to think that I delight in showing them that they will have to suffer and live in darkness for a time uncertain, for I do not take any pleasure in calling their attention to this Great Law, and the certainty of its operations.  Rather I do this to help humans to avoid these sufferings and unhappiness, by seeking the Divine Love of the Father while on Earth.  Because, from my observations, I believe that it can be found more easily while in the flesh, than after a human becomes a spirit.

    Another Law of the Spirit World is that every human being of one sex has on Earth, or in the Spirit World, one of the opposite sex who is their soulmate.  The importance of this provision of the Father for the happiness of humans and spirits, has never been fully understood by those who have not with certainty met and recognized their soulmates.

    I know that on Earth humans have claimed that certain of the opposite sex were their affinities.  With such claims as an excuse, have done much wrong and sin.

    The soulmate is not an affinity which may be suggested by the passions, or desires.  But is one provided by the Grace and Love of the Father, to live with the other soulmate through All Eternity.

    Before they took on the form of flesh, they were united.  When, in accordance with God's Plan, they separated and became mortals, they became no less soulmates, although they may not recollect their former unity, or relationship, while living the Mortal Life.  But as certain as God Lives, these two soulmates, at some time, after they become spirits, will learn their True Relationship to each other.  Will, if nothing insurmountable intervenes, come together again in True Union and happiness.

    The mere fact that a certain man and a certain woman, are husband and wife on Earth, does not mean that they will live together as husband and wife through All Eternity.  If they are soulmates, they may.  If they are not, they will certainly separate after they enter the Spirit World.  That True (Soulmate) Relationship cannot be hidden here.  No mere form of relationship of husband and wife will suffice to keep the persons together.

    The Great Truth of Soulmates is one which needs further elucidation, one, which I will try hereafter to explain more fully.  For now it is sufficient to say that every man born of woman has his soulmate, either on Earth, or in the Spirit World, and vice versa.

    Well, I have written a great deal tonight.  You are tired, and so am I.  So I will continue at another time, the rest of my discourse.  With all my Love and best wishes for your happiness and success, I am, your old professor and friend, Salyards.

Spiritual Awakening

March 2nd, 1916

I am here, Jesus.
    I desire to write tonight on the subject:  How the Redeemed soul is saved from the penalties which sin and error has brought upon it.

    When the soul is in a condition of sin and error, it is not responsive to the inflowing of the Holy Spirit.  In order to get into a condition of receptivity to these influences, it must have a Spiritual Awakening, as to its ACTUAL condition of enslavement by these things.  Until such a Spiritual Awakening comes to it, there is no possibility of its receiving the Divine Love of God into it, and of turning its thoughts to the Divine Truths of God and to the Practices of Life, that will help it in its progress towards a condition of Freedom.

    I would not have humankind believe that any soul is compelled to stay in this condition of slavery to sin until the Holy Spirit comes to it with the Father's Divine Love, to Bestow it in all abundance.  For the mission of the Holy Spirit is not to Spiritually Awaken human's soul to a realization of sin and death, but merely to bring to that soul this Divine Love, when it, the soul, is ready (willing) to receive it.

    The Spiritual Awakening must come from other causes that influence the mind, as well as the soul, and cause them to realize that the Life human lives is not the correct Life, or one in accord with the demands of the Laws of God, or with the Real Longings of their own hearts and souls.  Until this Spiritual Awakening comes, the soul is really dead (spiritually), so far as its having a Consciousness of the existence of the Divine Truths of its Redemption is concerned.  Such death means a continuance in such thoughts of sin and evil, and in the Life which leads only to condemnation and (spiritual) death for long, long years, it may be.

    To come nearer to my point of discourse, the soul that is existing in sin and error will have (to), sooner, or later, to pay the penalties for such sin and error (by the workings of the Law of Compensation or Recompense).  There is no escape from the payment of these penalties, except in the Redemption that the Father has provided by the New Birth (of the soul in Divine Love).  These penalties are only the natural results of the Operation of God's Laws of Compensation.  They must be endured until the full penalty is paid.  Even though a human may progress to higher condition of soul excellence and have much happiness, yet they must pay the last farthing, thus release themselves from these penalties.

    With much Love, I am your friend and brother, Jesus.
