TRUTH OF LIFE ON EARTH

The Real Truth of Life on Earth and what it means to humans.

May 25th, 1915

I am here, Jesus.

You are better tonight in your spiritual condition. I will write a formal message.

I desire to write on the subject of: The Real Truth of the Life on Earth, and what it means to mortals.

When humans come to the knowledge that they are Children of the Father, and under His Care and Protection, they will see that they must lead such lives, as will fit them to become in Union with the Father and be able to partake of His Divine Love, which makes them, as it were, a part of Himself. I mean that there is in all humans the Potentiality of becoming a part of the Divine Essence. In order for them to partake of this Divinity, they must let the Divine Love of the Father, in its Highest Divine Nature, enter into their souls and make them At-One with Him.

No mere Natural Love that they had bestowed upon them as Creatures of the Father's Handiwork will enable them to attain to this exalted condition. The Natural Love, of itself, is not sufficient. When that Natural Love was bestowed upon them, it was merely intended to enable them to live in a Good and Harmonious way with their fellow humans. It was not the Real Love that formed a part of the Divine Nature of the Father, and was not intended to make humans a part of that Divine Nature. So, in order for humans to receive this Higher Love, they must do the Will of the Father while on Earth, or they will have a more difficult work, after they become spirits, in receiving the wonderful inflowing of this Divine Love.

The Earth is the great plane of probation. The development of the souls of humans depends upon their correct living, in accordance with those Principles, which the Father has established, as the means whereby they may receive this condition of Divine Love, which alone can make them At-One with Him.

Merely good deeds are not sufficient. Back of all deeds must be the Soul's Development, which results only from the possession of this Divine Love. I do not mean by this that deeds do not form a part of this development, for they do. But deeds, without the possession of this Divine Love, will never make a human the possessor of the one thing needful to ensure their entrance into the Heavenly Kingdom.

Humans must Love one another, and must of course, "do unto each other as they would be done by". If this rule of conduct was observed, humans would be much happier on Earth, even if they do not possess the Divine Love that I speak of.

No human, can of themselves, become filled with this Divine Love. For in only One Way will it come into their soul. That is, by prayer to The Father for its inflowing, and Faith that He will give It to them who ask earnestly and humbly. I know that some humans think that prayer is nothing more than an appeal to their own better selves. I tell you that this is a wrong belief. When they realize the Truth that prayer ascends to the Father, and is heard by Him and answered, they will understand the Great Mission and benefit of prayer.

Let humans live the most exemplary lives, and yet, they will not necessarily become partners of this Great Love, and have the qualities that are necessary to enable them to receive the Great Gift of Divine Unison with the Father. I urge all humans to live a good Moral Life, because it has its own reward in the Spirit World, and makes them happier as spirit beings in a condition of mere Natural Love. Will fit them for a Life in the Spirit World which will bring to them happiness, but not the Happiness of those who fit themselves for a Greater Happiness in the Celestial Kingdom. I will not discourage humans from seeking the Life of a Moralist, or of one who tries to follow the Truths of Conduct, which the Golden Rule imposes. On the contrary, emphasize the necessity for such a Life. A good human approaches nearer to the image of the Father than any other being can possibly attain to. Their reward in the Future Life will be that which comes only from living the Life of such a human. So I say; the more a human lives in accordance with these Moral Precepts, the nearer they will approach the image in which they were Created.

But why should humans be satisfied with the image, when the Real Substance may be theirs by obeying the invitation of the Father? The image may satisfy some, who are content with small things, but the aspiring soul wants the Real Substance, which the Father offers freely to those who will accept His Invitation.

No human can really live a good Moral Life unless, they have as their guide the Divine Love that I have mentioned. I do not believe that any human who knows the difference between the image, and the Substance, will be satisfied with the former. For if so, they are rejecting the Greatest Happiness that even the Father can bestow upon them.

So let not humans be content with trying to live good Moral lives, but seek with all their hearts the Divine Love that makes them Truly Angels of God, such Divine Angels as can feel and realize the certainty that they are Immortal.

Immortality is only of God. Anything less than God, or His Divine Essence, which makes the Creature a part of that Divinity, is not Immortal.

Adam and Eve were mortals. Free from sin and obedient to the Father, thought that they were immortal, but when the temptation came, and they yielded, they realized to their great sorrow, that they were not immortal. So will every spirit of mortal be in the Future Life, where the Divine Love of the Father has not become a part of its existence.

Life on Earth is an important part of the Great Eternity of living. Humans should realize this to its fullest meaning, and not think the Earth a mere stopping place, where the spirit is enfolded in flesh, only for the pleasures and gratification of its carnal appetites. This Earth Life is a fleeting shadow of the Spirit Life, but an important shadow to the happiness which human may enjoy in the future. It is the most important period of human's whole existence. The way that such Life is lived may determine the whole Future Life of the human. I do not mean that there is no redemption beyond the grave, for the Mercy of the Father continues into the Spirit Life. But when human fails to accept this Mercy, I mean The Way in which they may become a Divine Child of the Father while in the Earth Life, they may never accept it in the Spirit Life.

So many spirits are contented to remain in the happiness of their Natural Love, and refuse to be convinced that there is a Greater Love and Happiness awaiting them in the Father's Kingdom, which may be theirs, if they will only believe and seek. This I say from my Knowledge of the Real condition of spirits in the Spirit World, and the difficulty which the Redeemed Spirits have found in their endeavors to convince these spirits, who are enjoying the happiness of their Natural Love, that there is a happier and better sphere in which they may live, if they will seek for the Divine Love of the Father.

As I said when on Earth, "strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leads to Life Eternal, and few there be who enter therein". This saying applies to the Spirit World, as well as to the Material World. So let me urge upon all humans to seek the strait and narrow Way. For only by it, can humans come to the full enjoyment of what the Father has provided for them.

I will now stop. In closing will say; with all the Love and Knowledge which I possess: Let humans seek this Great Divine Love, and in Faith they will find it, and forever be One with the Father, Immortal as He is Immortal, and Happy beyond all conception.

So I will say with all my Love and blessings, and the Blessings of the Father, "seek and ye shall find".
Goodnight, your Loving brother and friend, Jesus.

Truth of Life on Earth

August 8th, 1915

I am here to tell you that God is Love. That all humankind are His Children, the Objects of His Bounty and Care. Not even the vilest sinner is beyond the boundaries of His Care and Love. He is not a God who needs propitiation, or sacrifice, but calls to All His Children to come unto Him and partake freely of the Great Feast of Divine Love, which He has prepared for them, and enjoy the Happiness, which His Presence gives.

So my friend, do not for a moment think that the Doors of Mercy, or the entrance into the delights of His Heavenly Home, is closed by the death of the body. I tell you that the death of the body is a mere entrance into a Higher Life, with increased opportunities.

Notwithstanding what I say, the soul that seeks to obtain this Divine Love while on Earth has a great advantage, in time, over the one that waits until their spirit leaves the body before seeking for the Father's Divine Love. The best time for mortals to aspire to attaining this Great Gift is the NOW. No time is so propitious. God's Divine Love is for the mortal, even if they have the passions and appetites, which the flesh encumbers them with. When a mortal fights against the temptations, which these burdens impose, and overcomes, they, when they enter the Spirit World, are stronger, and more able to progress, than when they put off the Great Attempt until they become purely spirit.

So, while there is no such condition as probation terminated when the mortal enters the Spirit World, yet the probation on Earth is the accepted time to seek the Great Prize. I know I am writing like some of your camp meeting preachers, but what I say is a Truth nevertheless.  Happy is the mortal who realizes this fact and acts in accordance.

Jesus is working among mortals now, as he did when on Earth. Although they cannot see his physical form, or hear his Voice of Love, in tones of benediction and pleading, yet the influence of his Love is felt, and the persuasion of his spirit voice is heard in the hearts of humans. He is still the Savior of humans, as he was on Earth. His Mission will not cease, until the closing of the Celestial Kingdom. Sin and error, shall be eradicated from Earth, and from the Spirit World. He will be the Triumphor and Conqueror over sin, and everything that tends to pervert human from that which is Good and Righteous. Human, having only their Natural Love will be freed from all inharmony and live as brothers and friends in peace and happiness. Spirits, having the Divine Love, become as Angels of God, and live forever in the Bliss of the Celestial Heavens.

So I urge upon all humans to seek the Divine Love of the Father and live in His Presence forever.

I must stop now, but before I go let me say; that I am working with the Master in the Great Cause that will make humans who seek this Divine Love, One with the Father.

So I will say as your brother in Christ, goodnight, John Garner.

I was a Christian preacher of England in the time of the Reformation.

Truth of Life on Earth

March 15th, 1916

I am here, Prof. Salyards.

Well, I was telling you of; The object of human's Life on Earth, and the necessity for their doing certain things, in a general way, in order to bring to humankind the happiness, which might be theirs, while on Earth. Now I desire to go a little in detail with reference to these matters.

As has been written you before there is only One Way in which human can attain to the Supreme Happiness, which the Father in His Goodness has made possible for human to attain to. Which, when once obtained, can never be taken from them.

But there is also another kind of happiness, which is not, in either its nature, or results, the same as that which I have just referred to. Human may obtain it, in a way, and by a method, which are different from those which are necessary to obtain the first kind.

Human was originally Created Good, Pure, and Happy. Only by their disobedience did they lose these qualities,which when lost, finally made them approach, somewhat, the likeness of the lower animal. Although, the latter is probably not as unhappy as human became by their fall from the state of the High Condition of their Creation. When in their Original State they were happy, in what we call, and what was, their Natural Love, and which they fully possessed, and needed nothing additional to make them happy. This condition made humans their own master, as it were. The Father's Divine Love was not necessary to develop them more, as mere human, than they then existed. They were Pure, free from sin, and in Perfect Harmony with God's Laws governing their Creation.

After the disobedience, they lost this Harmony. In doing so, lost also the power to preserve in themselves, the happiness which was theirs by Right of Creation. They also soon realized, that as this power left them, their dependence upon themselves became less and less effective to keep them in a condition of purity and contentment. As a consequence, they became less than Perfect Human,and has been such, ever since that time.
Now with the other qualities that were given them at the time of their Creation, there was, and is, one that they have never been deprived of. One that they have never realized. Their inability to exercise, although they so often exercise it wrongly. That is; the will. Which is the greatest of the natural attributes that human possesses. For even God will not attempt to control that. I mean in the way of compelling. This quality is the one, that more often than any other, will help human to again attain to that state, or condition, in which they were the Perfect Human. While this is True, yet it is also one of the greatest obstacles to attaining to that state. Upon human themselves, very largely, depends the success of their regaining their Pristine Purity and Harmony with the Laws that govern their Being. They must understand this fact. For if they should believe, and rest in the belief, that other humans, or other instruments controlled by humans, can rescue them from their present condition of inharmony and unhappiness, they will be disappointed. Their salvation will be a long time delayed. The exercise of this will power, in the proper direction, will depend upon other things that they must possess, in order to insure their return to their First Estate. Among these, are the necessity for their obtaining knowledge that will enable them to know themselves, and the relationship of themselves, to what is True and Good. This knowledge will come to them as they examine themselves and learn the difference between right and wrong. This I mean in its general sense. For right and wrong mean Harmony, or inharmony, with the Laws of which I speak. Not right and wrong according to the several circumstances of humans. For these differ. What may be right, or wrong, to one human, will not be to another. Human, by proper contemplation and observation, may learn the difference between right and wrong, in the sense in which I use the terms. Be enabled to embrace, or avoid, those deeds, or thoughts, that come within one category or the other.

Again, they must realize that there is such a thing as the Natural Love being a part of them. A thing, which may be possessed and cultivated, to such a High Degree, that all humans will be brothers to them. The Children of One Common Father, who has Love and Care for all alike, who are content to remain the mere human.

Again, they must realize that they have a Father in God, their Creator. That, that Father has a Love for them, which will always bring to them happiness and peace, if they will only respond with their own Love. For human must have an object of worship and adoration, even when they possess only the Natural Love. They must learn that their Love must go out to the Father, in Faith and confidence. There are many other things that they may learn by contemplation and meditation, as I have said.

Many qualities that are desirable will flow to human from the knowledge that there is a Father who Loves them, and that they have, or may have, a Love for that Father, and also for their fellow humans. In fact, from these two subjects of Knowledge, everything else may come to human that will make them the Perfect Human, in Harmony with the Laws of their Creation, a Pure, happy and contented Creature.

Now, when human obtains this Knowledge, and here observe the distinction between Knowledge of these things, and the possession of them, they will naturally try to obtain all that Knowledge shows them, may become theirs to possess. Then will come into operation the great will power. By its exercise, there is nothing that can prevent them from arriving at the goal of their desires. In this way, one can, in a sense, be their own redeemer. They will find the struggle hard, and the obstacles to be overcome, many and repelling.

There are many mortals who have a wonderful development of this Natural Love, notwithstanding the fact that they are living in sin and in inharmony with the Laws that I speak of. Who will find, from that fact alone, that their progress will be more rapid and easy when they come to the Spirit World, on their journey to the State of Perfect Human. I do not believe that any mortal can ever attain to this condition while in the Earth Life. But they can lay the foundation for a rapid progress after they become a spirit. The temptations and desires that beset them as a mortal, at this time, are so great, that rarely can they become again, that Perfect Human while on Earth. The time will come, I believe, when humans will become Perfect, even while on Earth. In this I have reference to their Natural Love merely, while, as I say, for human to obtain this State of Perfection, they must depend upon themselves to a very large degree. Yet, it will be comforting to them to know, that there are hosts of spirit friends who are with them, trying to help them to obtain the Knowledge of which I have spoken. In their contemplations and meditations, they are with them. Suggesting to them, and impressing on them, the thoughts of Truth, that help them very much to understand the right from the wrong. They also sustain them, in some degree, in the exercise of their will in the right direction.

So from this, it must become apparent to humans, that a very important thing in the determination of this great problem, as to what is right, and what is wrong, is the kind of associates that they may have. This applies to the mortal, as well as spirit companions. Human must know this; that as their desires and appetites on Earth, attract to them companions of similar desires and appetites. So also, does the same Law of Attraction operate in the case of their spirit friends.

Now, in all this, I have no reference to the Redemption of Human by the possession of the Divine Love of the Father. For such Redemption, and its Way of saving human, are altogether different, from those of redeeming them in their Natural Love. In the one case, when they have found the goal of their desires, they become a merely Perfect Human, and nothing more. In the other case, they become an Angel of God, Divine is their Nature, with no limitation to the progress that they may obtain, and the Happiness that may become their.
Oh, human! Why will you be satisfied to become merely a Perfect Human, when you may become a Divine Angel of the Father's Kingdom, with Immortality assured?
Human may not know it, but it is a fact, that it is easier, and The Way is shorter, to become a Divine Angel, than to become a Perfect Human.

So my advice to all humans is; and I speak what I do know, from a Knowledge that comes to me from experience and possession: To seek for the Divine Love of the Father with all their strength and efforts. Then they will become not only the Perfect Human, but will obtain that which our First Parents never obtained, but which was theirs for the proper seeking, as it is all humans.

I have written enough for tonight, and will close, your old friend, professor, and brother in Christ. Joseph H. Salyards.

Truth of Life on Earth

July 2nd, 1916

I am here, John.

I come tonight to tell you of a Truth, which is important for you to know, as well as for the World of Humankind. I will not write a very long message, but what I may say will be the Truth. Every human should understand it and make it their own.

I will not write upon any subject that you have been instructed upon before, but will deal with a subject entirely new. My subject is: Why should humans learn that they are not to be left to themselves in their conceptions of what Life means, and what its importance is in the economy of Human's Creation and Destiny.

I know that this may seem to you to be a strange subject to write on. But it is one that should be of interest to all humans who know that the Earth Life is very short, and then Eternity takes them into its embrace, and never again permits them to become Creatures of time.

Human lives, dies, and never lives again, according to the materialist, and they are as the brute animal without any future. But the Spiritualist, and by that I mean those who believe that there is something more to human than the mere material, believes they live and never ceases to live, although the physical body dies, never to be resurrected again as such body.

Now, as we take either the one, or the other, of these views, the Meaning of Human's Earth Life assumes a very different aspect, and calls for very different thoughts and actions on their part in living their Life. Of course, if what is called death is the end of things that human should do, or they should think they should do, as the old saying, "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you shall die", and with that death comes oblivion and forgetfulness, never to be Awakened again into consciousness. His mission in the Universe is fulfilled. They can no more experience the hopes, ambitions,joys, or sorrows, which were theirs as a living human.

On the other hand, if human never ceases to live, then their thoughts and conduct should be turned towards the accomplishment of that, which will provide for them the best possible future.

Those, of both opinions, know that when death comes, the physical body can no longer be used. Those who believe in the continuous existence know that as the physical body perishes, human must have some other form, or body, in which may be lodged the consciousness of this continued existence, and that body must be as real as the one which they relinquish. Such being the fact, the human who knows that death does not end all, will naturally and necessarily seek to learn what that body of continued existence is like, and what is necessary to enable them to obtain that body and thereby enjoy the living in Eternity. Thus seeking, they will not be satisfied to learn that that body is the mere spirit body, which has been theirs during all the years of their Earth Life, but will desire to learn further, what the relationship is between that spirit body and the manner of living their Earth Life.

I know, that of themselves, humans cannot, to any degree, discover this relationship. That they must depend upon the teachings and experiences of those who have experienced the separation of the spirit from the physical, in order to at all comprehend this relationship. As one having had this experience, I wish to say that the spirit body is, of itself, a Creation, like as is the physical body. Has its existence only for the purpose of preserving human's individuality (of soul), and of containing and sheltering their soul, both while on Earth, and after they become a spirit.

Then their living means that they are placed on the Earth, merely to acquire an individuality, and to learn that within them is the soul, which is their Real Self, and which they must cherish, educate, and feed with the Higher Thoughts and Goodness of their Original Creation, and not neglect the opportunities that come to them for this development.

I know that this seems incoherent to you, with no special object in view, but you are mistaken in thus thinking. For the object will soon be seen. As you are not just in condition for further writing tonight, I will postpone my writing until later.

So trusting that you will not feel inclined to reject the message, I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, John.

Truth of Life on Earth

October 1st, 1916

I am here, Saint John.

I come tonight to write a few Truths upon the subject of the preacher's sermon, as I was present with you and heard his declarations as to the end of the world.

I know, that among humans, there are, and have been since the time of the Master, differences in opinion as to when this important event is to take place, and as to the meaning of the end of the world.

Well, humans know just about as much now, as to the time of this event, as they have known all down the centuries, and understand the meaning of these prophecies, as well as did humans from my day, down to the present.

In the first place, I will say, there will be no end of the world, from any of the causes mentioned by the preacher. In the next place, there will be no end of the world at all, as understood and declared by the orthodox preachers, and as is expected by most of the professing christians.

The World, meaning the Earth, will not have an end in the sense of annihilation. It will continue to revolve on its axis. To have seed time and harvest, and produce, and reproduce those things that are necessary to sustain Human Life, and have its appropriate seasons of heat and cold, and move along in its orbit as it now does, until some change, we know not of how, may come and destroy it. But such change, not any of the prophecies of the Bible, admitting that there are prophecies, can apply to the end of the world, in the sense that the preacher understood and declared.

If humanity would only understand that the world that was lost by the disobedience of the First Parents, was the World of Human's Immortality and Happiness, not the physical world. That Jesus came to declare the restoration of that World, upon condition. The end of that restoration, then would they know that the material World is not involved in the Plan of Human's Salvation, or in Jesus' Mission, or in the declarations of Jesus as to the coming of the end.

Humans will continue to be born, live a short time, and die the physical death. As to each individual human, the end of the material world comes when they die. For, thereafter, their habitation will be in the Spirit World. Never more will they have Life on Earth. All humans, at some time will have to die the physical death. Then why should it be necessary to include in the Plan of God for the Salvation of Humans the destruction of the material World? For planets, worlds and stars to crash together and destroy, would mean that the Orderly Workings of God's Laws must be interfered with, in order that humans might be destroyed, or saved, according as they might be snatched up into the air, or left to their own weakness on Earth.

Such interpretations of Gods Intentions, or Plans, or of Jesus coming again to Earth, are all wrong and absurd. Jesus will never come to establish his Kingdom on Earth and reign as Prince of Peace and Lord of Lords. The Kingdom which he and all his followers, both on Earth, and in the Spirit World, are seeking to establish is in the Celestial Heavens. It is the Kingdom of God. Not made with hands, or by the mere fiat of any spirit, no matter how high they may be, but made and populated by the souls of humans who have experienced the New Birth and received the Divine Essence of the Father. Of this Kingdom Jesus is the Prince. Only because of his great and exceeding possession of the Divine Love of the Father, and his More Perfect At-Onement.

Jesus is not seeking to establish a Kingdom on Earth, but is working for the purpose of leading humans to the New Birth of the Spirit, and of showing them The Way to the Celestial Kingdom. Also, is he working to help humans by his Love and suggestions, and so also the other good spirits, to cast sin and error from their hearts, and strive to regain the Condition of Perfect Humanhood in the Perfection of their Natural Love. Also, to help humans to get in this condition of soul regeneration, or in that of the purification of their Natural Love, while they yet live on Earth. So that Love to God in the Divine Sense, and Love to God in the Created sense, and Brotherly Love will cover the whole Earth, and humans be at peace and happy, while yet clothed in the flesh. Such a condition of mortal existence may be called the Kingdom of God on Earth, but it will not be the Kingdom which Jesus came to Earth to establish. That is the Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom has its seat and abiding place in the Celestial Spheres, whence it will never be removed.

So then, when the Bible teaches of the World coming to an end and passing away, it does not mean the material World, but the World of humans thoughts, deeds and sinful conditions that are not in Harmony with God's Laws, or the Laws of His Creation. This is the world that shall be destroyed, when righteousness shall cover the Earth as the waters do the deep, and Brotherly Love reign among humans. Even today there are some humans, living on the Earth, who are so separated from the World, that as to them the World has no existence. Not the Material World, but the world of sin and unrighteousness, which is the only World to be destroyed.

There shall be wars, and rumors of wars, and times of trouble, etc., such as never were, and then shall come the end.

Not the wars of the cannons' roars, or the bursting shells, or the mutilated flesh, or the making of widows and orphans, or the ruthless changing of mortals into spirits, but the wars of the spirits of good and evil, of Love and hate, of purity and sin, of joy and despair, and of Knowledge of Truth and belief in error, all to be fought in the souls of humans, with such intensity and earnestness, creating such mind and spirit trouble as never has been, and causing rumors thereof to flood the Earth and the habitations of humans.

Then shall come the end of the World. The world of evil, sin, despair, hatred, and belief in error, this world shall pass away. Truth, Love, Peace and Good Will shall be established on the Earth forever. The Earth of this present day, then becoming to humans, so peaceful, and filled with Love and Brotherly Kindness, that to them, it will seem as if the City of God had been let down from Heaven on to Earth.

Let mortals know that Jesus has already come to Earth, and is among humans. That since the time of his becoming the Prince of the Celestial Kingdom, he has been with humans, and spirits, teaching them, The Way, The Truth and The Life. By the Holy Spirit, have the Truths of the Father, been spoken to humans, as a still small voice. By the communions of souls, has the Master led humans to the Divine Love and Mercy of the Father. As in my time, when he came to the Jews with his Message of Divine Love and Life Eternal, they knew him not, and rejected him. So now, many humans, and spirits too, refuse to listen to him, and learn The Way, through the straight gate, to the Fathers Divine Love and Immortality.

Let humans study the prophecies, and the times, and the seasons, and calculate the time of the end, and predict the near approach of the Master's coming in the clouds, and prepare themselves to be snatched up in the air and become of the heavenly hosts. Yet they will find that all these things are vanities of vanities. Only as each individual passes beyond the veil of flesh, will they realize the end of their Mortal World has come. Then, will all their speculations, as to themselves, become Realities, the certainty of the world's end become an established fact. But humans will continue to live on Earth and die. In succession others be born to die. And so on until,.... only God Knows.

So I say to humans, prepare not for the passing away of the Heavens and the Earth, but for the passing of themselves from the Earth, to the Great World of Spirits. And remember, that as they sow, so shall they reap. A certainty that is never changed, a Truth that no speculation can make untrue. The end of human's world comes each day to some mortal. That end may lead to a glorious Immortality, or to a temporary, or a long, darkness and suffering. Thus are the prophecies being fulfilled. The speculations of preachers, teachers, and leaders of the unthinking, are robbing humans of the Vital Truth, that the end of the World is coming each moment, day, and year.

Oh! Preacher, and teacher, and leader, your responsibility is great. The accounting must be made. The reaping must follow the sowing, as certainly as the day follows the night. What will your harvest be? The end of the world for some mortal is the important NOW!

I have written enough for tonight as you are tired. So believe that I Love you, and am praying for the Father to Bless you, and to so fill your soul with His Divine Love, that when the World comes to an end for you, you shall find the Kingdom of Heaven waiting to receive you.
Goodnight, your brother in Christ, John.

Truth of Life on Earth

November 2, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

Of course, the scenes in which I was represented are creatures of the imagination and intended to impress upon the observers of these scenes the belief, or thought, that because of my teachings of Peace and Goodwill to humans, I would necessarily be interested in those things that violate my teachings. Consequently would be present at the fields of battle and the destruction of human Life.

I may surprise you when I tell you that I do not visit these scenes. Because my mission as a spirit is not to help those who fall in battle, and come to the Spirit World as the result of war's destruction, and murder of human beings. There are many spirits, whose duty it is to look after the spirits of those who are so suddenly ushered into the Spirit World, to help them to a realization of their changed conditions, and to lead them to the Knowledge that they are no longer mortals. These spirits are specially designated for this work. They comfort the unfortunate spirits, and help them to recover from the shock of their violent and sudden transformation.

This work, as you may say, is a material one. That is, the one that helps these spirits come into possession of their Spiritual faculties, irrespective of the question as to whether they are fitted for heaven, or for hell. In other words, they work to make the coming of these spirits as free from the terrors which such sudden transformation might cause, as is possible. This work is a necessary one. One which is a part of the Plan of the Father for the Welfare and Happiness of His Children, without regard to the fact that they know not His Love and Mercy.

My work is different. I deal only with the souls of humans, irrespective of their spirit condition. That is; of the condition of spirit as mere spirit. On the field of battle the souls of humans are not, generally, open to the influence of my teachings. My work is not among the physically dead, but among the living, who are in that state of mental and soul equipoise to receive the influences of my suggestion and Love. No, the field of battle is not my place of work. The killing of humans, and the carnage of war, do not attract me, or have for me the opportunities to do the great work, that I am leading the spirits who know the Reality and the necessity of the Divine Love, to do.

I am interested in the Peace of Humankind, and the Love of one brother for another. My teachings on Earth, and in the Spirit World, are given for the purpose of bringing about this Peace. The wars of nations, or the hatred of battles, will never result in bringing Peace, merely because of the horrors and desolation that flow from such wars and battles. Humans may think that when humankind looks upon these things of destruction, it will also look upon them with such horror and dread, that never again will war take place, and that only peace will follow and forever remain the heritage of humans. I tell you that in this they are mistaken. For in the passing of a few years all these things will be forgotten. Then, humans hearts being the same, with all the hatred, envy, and ambition that existed in the hearts and minds of those who were responsible for the forgotten wars, these things will be repeated. The fact that humans are of the same carnal minds and desires will be demonstrated.

As long as humans remain in their condition of sin, and have only what some may call the Brotherhood of Human to restrain them from seeking to satisfy their ambitions, or to gratify their desires to punish fancied wrongs, wars will ensue. The horrors of such conflicts will reappear on the face of the Earth.

Humans will cry peace, peace. But the World will know no peace. Poor human will suffer the recurrence of the results of the workings of their evil nature.

Hence, you may understand, that I am not so much interested in having peace come to human as a result of the horrors of war, as I am in having it come, as the necessary result of the transforming of humans hearts and souls from sin to purity. From the merely Natural Love, to that of the Divine Love. For when this latter Love is in human's souls, they will cease from war, hatred, and carnal appetites will not be satisfied, because of the horrors that may attend these things, but because of the Divine Love that exists in their souls, which will not permit wars. Divine Love will rule. Humans will forget hatred, and all things which now form a part of their very existence. My work is to change humans from the fallen human to the possessor of the Divine Love.

Also, am I trying to teach humans, that originally they possessed a Natural Love, that in its Pure State would lead them from these things of hatred and war, and that their only salvation, outside of the possession of the Divine Love, is to again obtain this Pure Love, the Purified Natural Love. Strange as it may seem to some, it is more difficult for a human to regain the State of the Purification of their Natural Love, than to obtain that Greater Purification which comes with the possession of the Divine Love.

I see that many centuries may pass before a human will attain to this State of Purification of their Natural Love that will enable them to say that because of their Natural Love, wars cannot come again and peace must reign. Hence, the great necessity for them to know, that only with the coming of the Divine Love will come the impossibility of war, strife, individually, and nationally.
So, when it is written, or portrayed in pictures, that I am on the fields of battle trying to show humankind the horrors of war, or that I am weeping over the slaughter of humans, such writings or portrayals are not True.
My mission is to reach the souls of humans, as individuals, and turn them to the Divine Love of the Father. My weeping, or sorrow, is, when humans will not listen to The Voice that comes to them all, as it calls them to turn to The Father and Live.

A dead body is of small consequence as compared to a dead soul. There are so many that pass into the Spirit World, bring with them their (spiritually) dead souls. As the dead bodies lie on the fields of carnage, I know that there is nothing there that needs my help, or sympathy. The souls that leave these bodies are not in condition, at that time, to listen to my ministrations, or consider their future existence. So you see there is no reason why I should visit the battlefields, or try to help these newly born spirits, as I may describe them.

No, Jesus, The Elder Brother, is not the physician for the mangled or wounded bodies, or for the souls that come into the Spirit World filled with hatred and antagonism at the time of their coming.

Physical death, in view of Eternity, is not of much moment. While I know, that to the ordinary mortal it is one of the most momentous of their existence, yet as I say, it is of comparatively little importance. But, oh, the importance of the (spiritual) death of the soul, and the great necessity of striving to awaken that soul to (spiritual) Life!

Well, I have written enough now, and will stop.

I see your friend with you. I must say to him that I am with him very often. I am pleased that he has arisen from death to Life. That the battle field on which he has fought the fight of the soul, is larger, and more terrible in its aspects and evidences of carnage and destruction, than the field of battle that is now destroying the physical bodies of so many of humankind. I mean that the whole world is the battlefield of the soul's fighting. If humans could only see the results, as they see the results of the war that is now shaking the whole Earth, they would understand that the great war is not the one that is causing so many dead souls to enter the Spirit World.

Give him my Love and blessings. I will come soon and write you a Message of Truth. So, with all my Love and blessings, I am, your brother and friend, Jesus.

Truth of Life on Earth

December 26th, 1917

I am here, Jesus.

Well, my dear brother, I am glad to find that you are in so much better condition. I know that very soon now I will be able to resume the delivery of my messages.
Well, I have no vicar on Earth. In the first place, I am not God, but a mere spirit, a Child of God. One that worships Him with all the devotion of my soul, praying for an increase bestowal of His Divine Love and for a complete Unity with Him, with the longings to progress Eternally in the development of my soul.

In the second place, the pope is a mere human. He can only represent God to the extent that he has, in his own soul, the Divine Love, and the consequent Soul Development. The mere fact that he is the head of the Catholic Church gives him no greater privilege, or no greater commission, to represent God on Earth, than is possessed by any other human with the same amount of Soul Development. His claimed infallibility is a delusion and a snare. He is just as much subject to sin, and sinning, even as Pope of the Church, as is any other mortal. This claim (of infallibility), which is an Attribute belonging only to God, will be one of the sins for which he will suffer very much when he comes to the Spirit World and has his soul opened up to the Truth. At some time I intend to write you in detail as to the Catholic Church and its erroneous dogmas, beliefs, and teachings, and as to its destiny.

This I will say; that the worship of me as God is a blasphemy. A thing that is so blasphemous that I care not to remain in the Earth Plane and hear the prayers of these misguided christians. I know that this will sound surprising, and un-christian, to many, and they will continue to believe in their faith in me as God and also to worship me. But it is a very harmful untruth. These people will have to realize it sooner, or later, in the Spirit World. This is one of the errors that my messages are designed to eradicate.

Well, my dear brother, have Faith, your brother and friend, Jesus.
