Incarnation and Birth of the Human Soul - The mystery of the birth of the soul in the human being, The Incarate Soul, how a soul is born into the flesh and becomes individualized.
Incarnation and birth of Human Soul
January 13th, 1916
I am here, Luke.
I want to tell you tonight of: The mystery of the birth of the soul in the human being.
All souls, which enter into mortal bodies, are previous to such advent, real living existences made in the likeness of the Great Soul, though not having the Qualities and Potentialities of that Divine Soul. Also, not having the form of individualized personality that they have after they become parts of the composition, or form, of the mortal and spiritual bodies of human beings.
The soul, in its existence, prior to becoming an indweller in the mortal body, has a consciousness of its existence, and of its relationship to God, and to other parts of the Great Soul, and more especially of the duplex character of its being. By this I mean the sexual differences in the two parts of the soul, which, in the way that they are united, constitutes the One Complete Soul.
When the time comes for this soul to become an indweller in the mortal frame, the two parts that I speak of, separate. Only one of the parts enters at the same time into a mortal, and never into the same mortal. While this separation is necessary for the individualization of each part of this One Complete Soul, yet the two parts never lose that interrelationship, or the binding qualities, that existed before their separation, and which continue to exist thereafter. In the Great Future, after the work of individualization shall be completed, will come together again and reunite in a Complete One. This separation may exist a longer or shorter time, depending upon the similar development of those similar qualities that is absolutely necessary in order that this coming together in the Original One, as it were, may take place.
While, as I have said, this soul, before its separation has a consciousness of its existence. When its duplex character leaves it, or rather leaves the two separated parts, and thereafter, until its reentrance into the Spirit World, does not again return to these parts. But in order to regain this consciousness, it is not necessary that both of these parts, at the same time, shall come again into the Spirit Life. For if one part becomes a spirit, free from the physical body, and the other part remains in the mortal body, that part that comes into the Spirit World may receive the Awakening to this consciousness, depending upon certain conditions and developments.
It often happens that both these parts will return to the Spirit World, and yet, for a long time, live as spirits without having a restoration of this consciousness, because of various reasons that may exist. The conditions of the development of the two parts may be so vastly different, that the realization of this consciousness may be wholly impossible. Very often it is the case that when these two individualized parts are informed that they are the soulmates of each other, they will not believe that information, and live on in utter indifference to the fact. Ultimately, the consciousness of their relationship will come to them, because their development, no matter whether intellectual, or Spiritual, will tend towards the Awakening of this consciousness, which is always present with them, although dormant.
Now, as to what this soul is in its constituent parts, or shape, or form, prior to its separation for the purpose of becoming an inhabitant of the mortal body, we spirits are not informed and do not know. We are often present at the conception, and also the birth of a child, and realize that a soul has become enveloped in the flesh. But we cannot see that soul as it enters into that home of mortal environment, because, as to us, it is invisible and has no form. But after its lodgment in the human body (embryo), we can perceive it and realize its existence, for then it assumes a form. That form varies in different incarnations, or, in the incarnations in different humans.
We have never seen the Soul of God. Although, we know that there is this Great Oversoul. Hence, we cannot see the soul of any image of the Great Soul, until it becomes, as I say, individualized.
I know that humans have often wondered, and asked the question, as to the preexistence of the soul that has been incarnated, and what qualities and attributes it had during its preexistence. As to these particulars, I wish to say, that we spirits, although we are inhabitants of God's Celestial Heavens, have little information. Though, we know that the soul, and I mean the complete soul in oneness, has an existence prior to its becoming individualized. You may ask how we know this? Well, it will be hard to explain this to you, so that you may comprehend. This I can say, that we spirits of the Higher Soul Development, can by our soul perceptions understand the existence of these souls as images of the Great Soul. The qualities of these images are such, that while we cannot sensibly, as you would say, see these souls, or their dualities, yet we are conscious of their existence. To use an illustration, that is not altogether appropriate, you understand that the wind blows, yet you cannot see it.
We further understand, and such is the result of our observations, that when the soul, and keep in mind that I mean the two parts when I say soul, once becomes incarnated and assumes an individualized form, it never thereafter loses that individuality. Hence, never again returns to its condition of preexistence, and can never again become reincarnated in the existence of any human being.
There is no such thing as reincarnation. All the theories and speculations of humans, upon that question, which conclude that a soul, once incarnated, can again become incarnated, are wrong. For the incarnation of a soul is only one step in its destined progress from an invisible formless existence, to a Glorious Divine Angel, or to a Perfected Spirit. A soul in this progress never retraces its steps. It is always progressing, though sometimes stagnation takes place, but continues as an individualized spirit until it reaches its goal in fulfillment of the Father's Plan for the Perfecting of His Universe.
This is a subject that is difficult of treatment, for several reasons. Among which, is the fact that we spirits, no matter how high our attainments, do not have the information, in order to give a full and complete description of the soul and its qualities, prior to its incarnation, and you mortals are not capable of comprehending the Full Truth as we may try to convey it to you.
I have made this effort to give you some faint idea of the soul, as you are in good condition tonight to receive my ideas. I realize how inadequate my attempt has proved to be. But from it, you can understand that the soul has an existence prior to its finding its home in the physical body. That it is duplex, and has a consciousness of the relationship of its two parts. That after it has received the experience of the Mortal Life and received an individuality, it returns to the Spirit World, and that at some time that consciousness will come to it again. The two parts will become one, unless, in the development of these separate parts, have arisen barriers that may prevent their reuniting. Further, that this soul will never again retrace the steps of its progression and become "reincarnated".
I will now close. With my Love and blessings say goodnight, your brother in Christ, Luke.
Incarnation and birth of human soul
January 17th, 1916
I am here, Samuel. Yes, Samuel, the prophet.
Well, I will not write long tonight, as I merely want to say that you are much better in your Spiritual condition. The rapport between us is so much greater than heretofore.
Tonight, I desire to say one word on the subject of my knowledge of: How a soul is born into the flesh and becomes an individualized person.
I heard what Luke wrote you. I agree with him in his explanation of the character and qualities of the soul in its state before its incarnation. I want to add one other thing to what he wrote. That is, that when the soul first separates into its two component parts, and one of these parts enters into the physical body, the other part remains a mere soul, invisible even to us, but having an existence of which we are conscious, and hovers close to the Earth plane seeking the opportunity to also incarnate and become individualized. This happens within a short time after the separation from the half that has already incarnated. Of course, when I say a short time, I do not mean in a few months, or even a few years, because sometimes there is a space of several scores of years between the two incarnations. But such time seems short to us who know nothing of time.
The soul which remains, as Luke has told you, as well as the soul that enters the human body, loses its consciousness of having been a part only of One Complete Soul, and of its relationship to the other part of that soul, and exists in the supposition that it is still a complete soul and needs no other soul to make it complete. This is a provision of the Father's Goodness, so that the soul that continues in its pristine existence will not become lonely or unhappy.
You will naturally ask how I know this, as we have said these souls are not visible to us? I can only answer that we spirits, who have developed our souls to a high degree, have acquired certain faculties, or what you may call senses (soul perceptions), which enable us to know these things. It is not necessary that we should see these unindividualized souls, in order to know of their existences and the qualities that they possess, any more than it is that we should be able to see the Great Oversoul of the Father in order to understand its Qualities, Attributes, and Existence. I know it is hard for you to understand this. I cannot now satisfactorily explain it, for your senses of the Earth Life are not capable of comprehending the explanation. But, what I tell you is True.
We often see the birth of the two parts of the souls into mortals, and know that such souls, then, for the first time assumes a shape and form. For this invisible image of God fills the whole of the spirit body. From that spirit body, assumes, or receives its form, and thereby becomes individualized. The soul is the Life of the spirit body, and never leaves it during the Earth Life of the mortal, and comes with it at the death of the physical body, and remains a part of it during all the time of the existence of the spirit body in the Spirit World. Whether it can ever become lost is a question upon which I shall write you later. You will remember that Jesus said, according to the Bible, "What does it profit a human to gain the whole World and lose their own soul?" I will say this though, at this time, that a human may retain their soul as a fact, yet have a consciousness of having lost it. They are then, as if they had no soul.
I have said to you what I intended to write, because Luke had omitted to speak of the condition, of that half of the soul that remained in the Spirit World, after the other half had been incarnated.
Matters of this kind, though, are not important as regards the Salvation of Human, or the Perfecting of their soul to such a degree that, that soul may become At-One with the Great Soul, having, what it did not possess before its seeking a dwelling place in the flesh. That is; The Divine Nature of the Father and Immortality, as an individualized, never dying person.
As we proceed in these writings, you will understand the importance of the soul's becoming incarnated, and then leaving the flesh and again returning to the Spirit Spheres. You will also learn that the Doctrine of Evolution is to an extent correct, but not as commencing from an atom, or from an animal inferior to human. Back of, and greater than, this Doctrine of Evolution, is the Great and More Divine Doctrine of Involution, for if the soul had not come from above and been placed in the physical human, there would never have been any evolution. If the soul had never received its individualized existence, by coming into the body of the human, it would never have evoluted to the Divine Nature, as well as to the individualized being that follows that incarnation.
When I say the Divine Nature, I do not mean that all souls, either on Earth, or in the Great Eternity, necessarily receive that Divine Nature, for many of them do not and never will. But all, no matter whether they come into the Divine Nature, or retain the Perfect Nature which was theirs in their preexistence, will become individualized personalities, which will be theirs so long as that soul and its spirit body shall continue to exist.
I have written enough for tonight, but will come again and write you other Truths. So with my Love and blessings, I am, your brother in Christ, Samuel.
Incarnation and birth of human soul
February 6th, 1916
I am here, Jesus.
I come tonight to resume my discourse of several nights ago.
As I was saying, human is the Creature of God. Made in Perfection and instantaneously, as it were, not having a slow growth as other Creations. When they were Created, they needed no evolution, or additional attributes, to make them The Perfect Human. Their physical bodies were Perfect, also their spiritual bodies, and their soul.
They (the First Parents) had, in addition to these three constituents, a gift, which by their disobedience they forfeited. Which was never restored to them until my coming, and which, when possessed by them, made them more than mere human. As to those things, which were made constituent and absolute parts of them, they were Perfect. No evolution was necessary to give them any increased Perfection. Human then, was a more Perfect Being, than they are now, or ever has been, since their fall from their Condition of Perfection.
After their disobedience, and the consequent death of the Potentiality of partaking of the Divine Nature of the Father, which is The Gift above mentioned, human was left in a state where they depended exclusively upon the qualities which they then possessed, for their future happiness and freedom from those things which would cause them to lose the Harmony that then existed between them, and the Laws governing their being.
The greatest of all the qualities Bestowed upon them was that of the will power, which was wholly unrestricted in its operations. Although, when exercised in a manner which brought this will in conflict with the Laws controlling this Harmony, human had to suffer and pay the penalties of such violations (of the spiritual Law). But notwithstanding that these perversions of the exercise of the will brought the sins and errors which now exist on Earth, God did not place any limitations on this exercise.
Human, in their Creation, had Bestowed upon them appetites and desires pertaining to their physical nature, as well as desires of their higher, or Spiritual Nature. They were all intended to work in Harmony, and not in antagonism. In such workings, human was kept pure and free from sin, which is merely the violation of God's Laws of Harmony. But after the First Disobedience, which is the greatest demonstration of the power of human to exercise that will, even when God had forbade them to do so. After human lost this Great Potentiality that I speak of, succeeding disobediences became easier. As these disobediences occurred, humans lost, to a great extent, the desires for the Spiritual Things. The animal, or physical, part of their nature asserted itself. Then, instead of exercising these appetites, which belonged to the physical nature, in such a wise way that no inharmony would ensue, and here let me say, that even after the fall it was possible, and even expected, that human would exercise these appetites in the way mentioned, they indulged them beyond their proper functions, and increased such indulgence, until they commenced to find, as they thought, more pleasure in such indulgence, than in the thoughts and exercise of their Higher Nature (the soul and love), and the aspirations which belonged to it.
This deterioration of human was not sudden, but gradual. Until, at one time, they became in a state, or condition of being, bordering on that of the lower animals. In fact, because of this increased indulgence of these appetites, they seemed to be transformed into the lower animal. Yet they remained human (soul), a Being Created in the (soul) image of their Maker. From this position of low degradation, or degeneracy, human slowly commenced to progress towards the attainment of their Original Condition before the fall. Never, in all this time, was their freedom of will taken from them, nor attempted to be controlled by God. Always the Law of Compensation worked. Human suffered, as they continued to create sin and evil.
As human on Earth continued to degenerate, and to permit what is sometimes called their animal nature to dominate their Spiritual Nature, many humans died, and continued to die. Their physical bodies went back to the dust of which they were Created. Their Spiritual Selves became inhabitants of the Spirit World, where they were freed, in a longer or shorter time, from the desire to exercise these animal appetites. The Spiritual part of human again asserted itself, until many of these spirits became free from sin and evil, and in Harmony with the Laws of God controlling their natures and conditions, as they existed before their degeneracy and before the disobedience commenced.
These spirits thus made free and in their Spiritual dominance, commenced to try to assist humans while living on Earth to direct their will in such ways as to rid themselves of submission to these appetites, and to become again a True Human, as in their Creation State, minus the Potentiality that I have mentioned. These efforts on the part of spirits have been slow in their effects. While humans, in individual cases, and have been almost regenerated, yet as a whole, the progress has not been as rapid as is desirable. Sin and evil still exist in the World. Humans perverted appetites and desires still control them to a large extent.
Of course, this progress from the bottom of degeneracy has taken place, in some parts of the Earth, faster than in others. Hence, you have your distinction between the civilized and the uncivilized races, or nations. But this does not necessarily mean that the civilized people, as individuals, have made greater progress in the manner indicated, than have the individuals of some of the so called uncivilized nations. For it is a fact, that among some humans of the former nations, are perversions, and manifestations of perversions, of these appetites that do not exist in the latter nations.
Advancement in the intellectual qualities does not necessarily mean progress in the Spiritual asserting itself over the perversions of these appetites. For the will is not a thing entirely of the mind, and neither are these appetites and desires. Because back of the mind are the (souls) affections, usually called the heart's desires, which are the seat of these appetites, and from which these desires arise. As they arise, the will is influenced by them, and as the will is influenced come positive thoughts and deeds.
It is not surprising that your scientists believe and preach the doctrine of the evolution of human from a lower species of animal, or from an atom, or from something that they cannot just understand, or give a name to. Because in their studies of the History of Humankind, and of the Created World, they find that human has developed and progressed amazingly from what appeared to have been their condition in some ages past.
But history does not extend to the time when human was in this lowest condition of degeneracy. Hence, all the conclusions that these scientists reach are based upon facts, sufficient unto themselves, which show the progress of human, only after the turning point of their degeneracy. They have no fact, and of course when the word "facts" is here used, it refers exclusively to the material things of Nature, showing them the gradual decline of human from their state of being a Perfect Human, to that when their retrogression, or degeneracy, ceased, and their progress of return to their former estate commenced.
So, if the scientists will believe, and teach, that human, instead of evoluting from an atom, or some other infinitesimal something, or from a lower species of animal than human, evoluted from their state or condition when they were at the bottom of their degeneracy, to which they had descended from the Perfect Human, then they will believe and teach the Truth. Their theory of evolution will then have as its foundation, or basis, a fact. Which now it has not, only a speculation.
This in short is the History, and Truth, of the Creation of the Universe of Human, and of human's fall and degeneracy, evolution, and progress. Through all this Creation and subsequent existence, runs (the Spirit of) LIFE, permeating it, and always with it. The Origin of Life is God.
I have finished. I hope that you will find some instruction, as well as entertainment, in what I have written. I will come again soon and write you another Truth. The fact that you waited for sentences to be formulated to express my thoughts merely means that I was manipulating your brain, so that the proper expression, or idea, could be conveyed to your hand as I wrote it.
You have my Love and blessings. I am more interested, as time passes, in you and your work. Keep up your courage and your desires will be fulfilled. Your friend and brother, Jesus.
Incarnation and birth of human soul
February 15th, 1920
I am here, Jesus.
I am here as I promised last night, and will write on the subject of: The Incarnate Soul.
You may have observed, in your studies of the different theories of the Creation of Human that always, the question has arisen as to the relationship of the Spiritual and physical. That is; as to the soul, and the material body. I know that many theories have been set forth as to how and when the soul became a part of the physical body and what was the means adopted by the Laws of Nature, as they are called, for the lodgment of the soul into that body, and the relationship that one bore to the other. Of course, this applies only to those mortals who believe that there is a soul, separate in its existence and functionings from the mere physical body. As to those who do not believe in the distinctive soul, I do not attempt to enlighten, but leave them to a realization of the fact when they shall have come into the Spirit World and find themselves existing without such body, but really existing, with the consciousness that they are souls.
When the physical body is Created, it has no consciousness of its having been Created. For it is merely of the unconscious Creations, that are of the other material Creatures of Nature. Does not feel, or sense, in any degree, the fact that it is a living thing, dependent upon the proper nourishment of its mother for its growth and continued Life in accordance with the Laws of Nature, and the objects of its own Creation.
The father and mother, being necessary to the Creation, or formation, of this merely animal production, know only that in some way there has come into existence an embryo thing that may eventuate into a human being like unto themselves. If this thing were allowed to remain without the soul it would soon fail to fulfill the Object of its Creation and disintegrate into the elements of which it is formed. Humankind would cease to exist as inhabitants of the Earth. This physical part of human is really, and only, the result of the commingling of those forces that are contained in the two sexes. Which, according to the Laws of Nature, or of (Laws of) Human's Creation, are suited to produce the one body fitted for the home of the soul that may be attracted to it, to develop its individuality as a thing of Life, and possible Immortality.
The result of this commingling is intended only as a temporary covering or protection for the growth of the Real Human Being (the soul), and does not in any way limit or influence the continuous existence of the soul. When its functions have ended, the soul, which has then become individualized, continues its Life in new surroundings and in gradual progression. The mere instrument used for its individualization is disseminated into the elements forming its appearance and substance. As this body was called from the elements for a certain purpose, when that purpose shall have been served, it returns to these elements.
This body, of itself, has neither consciousness, nor sensation. In the beginning, has only the borrowed Life of its parents. Then, when the soul finds its lodgment, it has only the Life of the soul, for the human Life can exist only so long as the soul inhabits the body. After such habitation commences, the borrowed Life of the parents ceases to exercise any influence, or directing force, on the body. This then, is really the True description of the physical body. If it were all of human, they would perish with its death, and cease to exist as a part of the Creation of the Universe of God.
The soul is the vital, Living, and never dying part of human, is really the human. The only thing that was intended to continue an existence in the Spirit World. It was made in the image of God. There is no reason for its existing for the continuing companionship of the physical body. When humans say, or believe, that the body is all of human, and when it dies human ceases to exist, they do not understand the relationship, or functioning, of soul and body. Know only the half truth which is visible to their senses, that the body dies and can never again be resuscitated. This is a determined fact. All arguments by analogy, to show that human must continue to live, notwithstanding the death of that body, are not apposite and very inconclusive. All these analogous appearances only show that the objects of the analogy ultimately die. Thus fail to prove that these objects are Eternal, just as much as if there had never been any change in their condition or appearance. The final demonstration is that they die. When this analogy is applied to human, it must show that they die also, and is no more.
The questions are asked: Whence comes the soul? By whom Created? How does it become incarnated in human? For what purpose? What is its destiny?
First, let me state, that human has nothing to do with the Creation of the soul, or its appearance in the flesh. Their work is to provide a receptacle for its coming, a mere host, as it were, for its entry into the flesh, and existence as a mortal, or in the appearance of a mortal. But their responsibility in this particular is very great, for human can destroy that receptacle, or care for it, so that the soul may continue in Earth Life a longer or shorter time. While this receptacle is the creation of human and without them it could not be brought into existence, yet the soul is no part of their creation, and is independent of the body. After the Earth Life, in the Spirit World, it will cease to remember that it was ever connected with, or dependent upon, the creation of its parents.
The soul in the Spirit Life, as a Truth, is so separated from, and dissociated with, that body which was its home while in the Earth Life, that it looks upon it as a mere vision of the past and not a subject for its consideration.
As has been told you, the soul was Created by the Father long before its appearance in the flesh, and awaited such incarnation, for the purpose only, of giving it an individuality. Which it did not have in its preexistence, and in which it has a duplex personality, male and female, that is needed to be separated and made individual. We who have had this preexistence and incarnation in the flesh and have obtained this individuality, Know the Truth of what I have here stated.
There is a Law of God controlling these things that renders these preexisting souls capable of knowing the desirability of incarnation. They are always anxious and ready for the opportunity to be born in the flesh and to assume the separate individuality that they are privileged to assume. As humans provide the receptacle for their appearing and homing, as it were, they become aware of the fact and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the receptacle, and become ostensibly, a human being, with the necessary result of individuality.
I am glad that you are in a better condition and will continue the messages, as we have been desiring to do for some time. I shall be with you and help you in every way, and hope that you will keep up your Faith and prayers to the Father. Goodnight and God bless you, your brother and friend, Jesus.
Incarnation and birth of human soul
March 21st, 1920
I am here, Jesus.
Let me write tonight as you are in good condition. I desire very much to write you in reference to a subject that is important for humans to know.
As I have before written you, there are two destinies for human in the Spirit Life. The one or the other of them may be just as they desire and seek for.
I was with you today as you listened to the preacher expound the reasons why he is a believer in the faith of the church to which he belongs, and in which he is a leader and teacher. He is undoubtedly honest and earnest in his beliefs. So far as they go, they will afford him the happiness that he spoke of, provided he puts such beliefs into actual, practical living and makes them the dominating, dynamic influence that shall guide and control him in his intercourse with humanity. He said Truly, that there is a Law that operates in wonderful power in shaping humans lives, which, when obeyed, will determine the career not only of humans, but of nations. That Law is; that when once a Truth is ascertained, or comes to the knowledge of humans, it must be recognized and acted upon, or it will lose its beneficent effect upon the lives of humans. If he applies this Law to his own Life, he will experience a wonderful help in meeting the difficulties and cares of Life, and in overcoming the things that beset him as a thinking human.
This is a wonderful Truth, and so far as it pervades the Life of a human, will result in making that Life one of consistent goodness, and cause Harmony between that human and God, who overrules the secret things of the Universe. That human will enjoy a great happiness even while in the flesh.
But this is not the important object and aim of what the preacher calls religion. Nor does it furnish the means by which a human may come into a greater and closer Harmony with the Will of God.
I know that to human, this present Mortal Life seems a thing of the greatest importance, and that the chief aim of human should be to act in that manner that will make their Life successful and happy. So far as it is suited to make human the Harmonious Creature that is intended, it is advisable to follow that course of living and Loving. The preacher does not know of, and cannot teach, the Great Object of human's appearance on Earth, and the goal that is ever before them waiting to be reached and possessed. As I have told you before, human's existence in the flesh is ONLY for the purpose of giving their soul individualization. All other apparent objects are only secondary, as you may say, accidental accompaniments of this process of individualization.
Hence, you will observe that this great object is accomplished equally, in the case of the infant who dies young, and in the case of the human who lives to a ripe old age. In each case, the object of the soul's incarnation in the flesh is affected. The old human, of course, has their experience, a longer and more diverse existence in meeting and overcoming, or submitting, to the exigencies of their living, than does the infant. But the Great Object is not more perfectly accomplished in the one case than in the other. The soul becomes individualized the moment it finds its lodgment in the receptacle (embryo) prepared by the Laws of Nature, in using the human father and mother as its instruments. Time thereafter does not influence, or have any determining effect, upon that soul, so far as its individualization is concerned. Neither does Eternity. For that condition (individualization), being once fixed, never can be changed, nor annihilated, so far as is known to the Highest Spirits of God's Heavens. Of course, the soul, as thus individualized, is subject to the various influences that surround it in its Mortal Life. These influences may be retarding, deadly, or destructive, to the progress of the soul, but cannot possibly affect the object (individualization) obtained by that soul's coming into the flesh, or ever require a new individualization of that soul. Its identity and character, as an individualized thing, are established. No condition of the soul, as to its goodness or badness, can ever, in the slightest degree, affect this character, or identity. The soul, once individualized, always remains the individual, even though the elements that enter into and make up the form will always find it self being rebuilt and continued by the operations of the Law that preserves the individuality of that soul.
Then, I say, the object of the incarnation of the soul is to give it individualization. This, in two appearances. First; in that of the physical form, which humans, by their perception of their natural organs of sense, can perceive. Secondly; a form that is more sublimated and generally invisible to these organs, a spiritual form (the spirit body).
At the moment of incarnation, the soul takes the form, which has been prepared for it by the Forces that exist in the parents, and retains that for during the Natural Life. At the same moment there is Created for it, or attracted to it, the form of the spirit body, which then, and ever afterwards, remains with it. Both of these bodies are of the material, one of the visible material of the universe, the other of the invisible, but still of the material.
As you know, that body which is made of the visible material lasts for a little while only, and then disappears forever. While that which is of the invisible, and which is more Real and substantial than the former, and exists all the time of the existence of the visible, continues with the soul after the disappearance of the visible body. While changeable, in response to the progress (condition) of that soul, yet the spirit body, never in its composite form, leaves that soul.
This we in the Spirit Life know to be True, just as certainly as you mortals know the Truth of the existence of the physical body. As you mortals may, in the short space of the Life on Earth, identify the human, which is really the soul, by the appearance of their physical body, so we in the Spirit World identify the same human by the appearance of the spirit body. So this fact must be forever. Then such being the fact, it must be conceived that the soul has its existence in the physical body for an infinitesimal short time. That is; its Life on Earth is only the breath of a moment. Then it enters on its career through Eternity. After a few years, as you may say, it may cease to remember that it ever had a lodgment in the physical body.
The preacher criticized the religion that taught human to think of, and prepare for, The Future of the Soul. Emphasized the fact that their thoughts should be more of the present, and that duty and good works towards their fellow human should be the object of their living, and their religion. Well, I recognize the importance of duty and good works, and approve of them with all the Knowledge that I now have of the demands and requirements of God's Love. On the other hand, must say, that their importance to human's Future Destiny, is also the importance of other privileges and obligations possessed by, and resting on, human, during the short time that the soul is clothed in the physical body. Duty performed, and good works, will lessen the distress and sufferings of the Mortal Life, and cause the human who performs the duty, and does the good works, to become more in Harmony with God's Laws of Mercy and Truth, but will never suffice to bring a soul into Harmony with the Will of the Father, as regards the Higher Destiny of human. These things will tend to lead merely to the purification of the soul, and to cause it to come into accord with the Laws of its own Creation, and their end. These constitute merely the exercise of compliance with the Moral Laws, and bring only a moral effect. When I say Moral Laws, I mean those Laws that demand that, and by, the observance of which, human comes into the condition of the Perfect Human, which was theirs at the time of their Creation. They, thereby, obtains nothing more than belonged to them when they existed as the Perfect Human and were in Complete Harmony with God as such Perfect Human. They then, Loved God with all the capacity of their souls, in the exercise of the Love that had been Bestowed upon them. Could have Loved their brother as themselves.
To this condition, humans are, to a more or less extent, now striving to attain. Many precepts of the Old Testament, as well as of the New, will lead humans to thus obtain. If this were the only destiny of human, then the religion of the preacher, which he says is based on these Moral Precepts of Love to God and Love to their fellow human, would be sufficient to obtain the goal sought. Love, duty, and service, would be all that are required of humans while on Earth, as well as after they become spirits. The exercise of these graces by humans, while on Earth, would be just as necessary and helpful, as would their exercise afterwards in the Spirit World. These things of Love to God and Love to human, and service and sacrifice, constitute the True Religion that leads to the Perfect Human, and makes for that Harmony with the Laws of God, governing the condition of the Perfect Human, but not the Divine Human.
These things should be preached by all ministers and teachers, and practiced by humans everywhere! In their practice is happiness and bliss unspeakable. As these things work to a finality, human, again, becomes the Son of God and obedient to His Laws, and realizes the meaning of "Love God and Love your brother". So I repeat, the preacher in pronouncing the basis of his religion, declared the Truths that will lead him into the condition of the Perfect Human, in Harmony with God's Will, as to Human's Creation.
Well, I see you are tired and so we will postpone the further writing. I am very much pleased that you are in so much better condition, and hope that we may continue our messages without further interruption. Only pray more and believe that The Father will answer your prayers. So believe that I Love you, and want you to be happy and free from care.
Goodnight, your brother and friend, Jesus.
