The Truth About Adam and Eve (video)

Adam and Eve were the very first soulmates. This is their true story. And it explains how they were created, why they disobeyed God and the consequences that occurred when they fell from grace and, finally, how they became true children of God when they received God's Divine Love.

The Padgett Messages

The Truth About Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve, our first parents, were the very first soulmates.

Their real names are Aman and Amon.

God created their souls in the Heavens before He created their physical bodies, and they were born on earth at the exact same time, and were perfect, wonderful and beautiful.

They were the highest creation in all of God’s universe, and no other human beings ever existed before them.

They were spiritual beings and possessed many great spiritual gifts, and lived in a Paradise called the Garden of Eden, which God had created for them.

They were very happy in their conjugal love and had no troubles or worries of any kind, and never had anything that made them afraid, or drew them apart from each other, or from God.

They believed themselves to be all powerful and all wise and decided they did not need to be obedient to God. And they did not seek and pray for God’s Divine Love in order to become immortal and Divine, as God required of them.

They disobeyed God because they made themselves believe they could be as Great as God, and if they only exerted their powers, they would obtain the same immortality, and power, and wisdom that God has.

In their vanity, they tried to appear as Gods and tried to make it a reality.

But this exercise of their free will became their eventual undoing and they fell from grace. And with this fall came the condition of evil and sin on earth.

God’s laws of creation and the workings of His will exerted themselves and Adam and Eve then sadly discovered they were no longer spiritual beings but were now mere mortal creatures, subject to the limitations of human beings.

Their spiritual powers disappeared, and they suffered greatly for their first sin of disobedience.

After their fall, no longer could they partake of spiritual food. They had to work in the fields tilling the soil so they could satisfy their natural appetites.

Many thousands of years passed until God restored the great gift of immortality and divinity with the birth of Jesus, and he made it known to humanity.

Our first parents then followed his teachings and sought the New Birth and received God’s Divine Love in their souls.

Finally, they became God’s true children.

Adam and Eve, our Heavenly Father’s first Soulmates, now live in another Paradise called the Celestial Heavens, where Divine Love, harmony and happiness reign supreme.

A Spirit's Message About the Love-Making Scene of Soulmates

I am here, your Helen

Well sweetheart, we had quite a love-making scene between Mary and the Doctor, and she was so happy that she could write to him that her whole soul was filled with emotion and many tears fell on her letter, though you could not see them.

What a beautiful loving spirit she is, and how she loves the Doctor. I enjoyed the scene more than I can tell you, and when she finished her writings, she came and threw her arms around my neck and cried until I thought that she could have no tears left, but they were tears of joy.

Oh, how dear she is to me, for she seems to have a love that appeals to my love for you, and when she tells me of her great love for the Doctor, I join with her in her tears, and we both thank God that he has given us such soulmates and the great love that we have for them.

I have been with you all day trying to comfort you and help you forget the troubles of your earthly affairs and to some extent I succeeded.

You must love me more and think of me more often, for if you do you will draw me so close to you, that you will feel my love in all its power, and my presence will appear so real to you.

I heard what you said to the Doctor about giving Mary a real lip kiss, and you were right, for while he may not be able to feel her kisses, she can his, and it will make her so happy.

Notwithstanding our spirit love, we have that about us that causes us to enjoy what was a part of our earth nature.

A kiss is just as sweet. Yes, more so than when we were mortals. And you must not think that we are such ethereal, nebulous beings that we cannot enjoy a kiss, or an embrace, for we enjoy both. And as you know, many times have I hugged you until you hollered. So tell the Doctor that he can kiss his Mary just as often as he might were she in the flesh.

I must stop now. So, sweetheart, say good night.

Your own true and loving, Helen

Divinity is of God Alone - Only He Can Bestow It on Us

I am now going to tell you of my progress in this love and happiness. When I last wrote you, I told you that I had commenced to have faith in the Father and had received some portion of His Love. Well, since then I have been praying and asking God to give me more faith and love and, as I prayed, my faith increased and, as my faith increased, more of this love came into my soul and with it an increased happiness.

So I would not stop striving until I realized that my soul was commencing to get such an inflow of this Love that it seemed that all things which tended to retard this influx were leaving me and only love and goodness were taking possession of me.

I am now very far advanced over what I was when you first commenced to talk to me of this love and I shall, through all eternity, remember and thank you for what you did for me. I was also so fortunate to have your mother and wife with me very much trying to show me the way to this truth of the New Birth and, then when your grandmother came to me, it seemed as if I could not resist the influences to seek and try to pursue.

So really when I had received enough of the spiritual awakening to realize who Jesus was, I gave him my close attention and as he continued to show me the way to the Father, I commenced to grasp the truth and believe that my salvation depended on my receiving this great love and becoming a finer and better man.

I tell you that Jesus is the most wonderful of spirits that I have seen or heard about. He is so filled with love and goodness that there seems no doubt in my mind that he is the son of the Father in the spiritual sense of the term. I mean that he is so much nearer the Father and in so much and many of his attributes that he is the only son in the sense of being at-one with the Father.

We are all sons of the Father, but there is such a difference in our spiritual conditions that the contrast between Jesus and us is so great that we can readily believe that he is the one true son and that his great love and knowledge of the qualities of the Father makes him the only begotten in a different way physically from other men, no immaculate conception or birth from the womb of a virgin. I do not believe this dogma and the Master says that it is not true for he was truly, so far as his physical being is concerned, the son of a man and woman as you or I am.

Now I am also convinced that mankind cannot be saved from their sins unless they follow the way showed them by the Master. No man can save himself and I wish strongly to emphasize the fact that man is dependent upon God for his salvation from the sins and errors of the material man. I do not mean that men have not a work to do themselves for they have.

God is willing to save them if they ask it and acknowledge that with His help, they can be saved, but unless they do ask and believe He will not interfere with these conditions. So you see, I am not only a believer in God and Jesus but also in the doctrine that men cannot save themselves.

I thought that man was sufficient unto himself when I was on earth, but now I know that he is not. Man may be comparatively happy and free from what is called sin, that is a visitation of God's laws, but that happiness is not the same nor is man's condition the same as when he gets this Divine Love from the Father.

I will not speak longer on this subject tonight but simply say that when on earth I thought that by my own exertions I might possibly become divine, yet even as a spirit I know that man is not divine and cannot become so in all eternity unless he receives this Divine Essence which comes to him in the New Birth.

Divinity is of God alone and only He can bestow it on man. Man not having this divinity cannot create it by his own efforts. So believe what I say and strive to get it, and you then succeed and become as the redeemed in the Celestial Heavens.

I must stop now for you are tired and so am I. Well, I will tell you of those things the next time I write.

So with all my love and blessing,

I am your old partner, A. G. Riddle

Riddle has progressed to a new sphere and is now seeking more help to further his spiritual progress.

Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i." "God", "u" and "i" dance."

God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

I Hope You Dance!

Soul Transformation with Divine Love

Our soul, in the condition in which we possess it before the entrance of the Divine Love, is not in accord with the Love of God, nor is it a part of the great Oversoul.

It is only a special creation made in the image of the Heavenly Father having in it the natural love which was conferred upon us at the time of our creation and not having in it any part of the essence of the Father, or any quality that makes it of the Divine nature of the Father, or necessarily immortal.

But when the Divine Love enters into it, and it becomes permeated as it were with the Divine Essence, then it takes on the Divine nature of the Father and to the extent that it receives and possesses this Love, it becomes at-one with God and ceases to be a mere image and becomes transformed into the substance.

Our soul in this condition where Divine Love is present is altogether a different entity from our soul in the condition in which it was created and is no longer subject to the dominion of either the mind or of the animal appetites and desires and, hence, the spirit possessing such a soul is, in essence, a part of the Father, or as Jesus said, is in the Father and the Father in it.

Now, do not understand that such a soul is the soul that man originally possessed with increased development of purity and goodness or freedom from sin, because such is not the case. Your soul, by such transformation, becomes a new thing and never again can it relapse into the soul of our origin.

Because of the qualities that it then possesses, it becomes immortal, and such immortal nature can never be taken from it. It is now a thing of love and purity, and consciousness of its true condition is always with the spirit that has such a soul.

This transformation is gradual, and we must not think that by the mere act of conversion from our state of death we at once become possessed of the nature of the Divine, for such is not the fact.

The transformation comes according to the susceptibility of our soul to receive God’s Divine Love. But when once the inflowing of the Love commences, it continues eternally.

Although there may be times of stagnation and apparent loss of this Divine Essence, yet always is the transformation taking place and, at certain stages in its progress, the possession of this Divine Love will be so great that our original soul, or its original qualities, will entirely disappear and leave only the new qualities which the Divine Love has implanted in it. The leaven when once deposited never ceases to work until the whole shall become leavened.

This condition of transformation may be obtained by all of us if we will only seek for it in the proper way - earnest prayer to our Heavenly Father - and with faith.

The Condition of the soul after the Divine Love flows in to it.

Law of Compensation is Removed by Divine Love

I am here, your own true Helen

You didn’t think I could change the announcement of my coming, but you must know that I can do anything to please you, my dear Ned.

Yes, you have, and I have been so very happy. Well, sweetheart, I must tell you that I am very happy and am progressing very rapidly. I don’t expect to remain in this sphere very much longer, for my love and faith are so great that I feel that I must get closer to God’s Fountainhead in the Celestial Spheres. Doesn’t it seem like some fairy dream? But it is all true, and I am so happy.

I will soon be with you in a long letter, telling you of this Great Love, and how much I love God and you.

You are progressing, too. You may not realize it, but it is true. And if you should come over now, you would be surprised to find yourself in a high sphere. I know how you feel, but you must believe that I can see your spiritual condition better than you can.

When you get this Great Love in your heart in sufficient abundance - and you have much of It now - your sins will be blotted out. This is the Law of Regeneration.

Otherwise, the man who continues without this Love and the man who receives It would be in the same condition, and the New Birth would mean nothing. So do not think that this Great Love is not sufficient to cleanse the soul from the results of the sins of earth life. Best of all, it cleanses while you are a mortal.

I know that the Spiritualists quote and proclaim the Law of Recompense, or Compensation, but there is a higher law that nullifies that law. And when Love - this Divine Love - comes into the soul of a mortal, the Law of Compensation is removed from the scope of its working for Love is the fulfilling of the law.

So do not let that stumbling block make you believe that this Great Love is not sufficient to remove all sin and error and to purify your soul so that you may become fitted to live in the Kingdom of the Father and become one with Him.

No, the Love is for the vilest sinner and no man, by a mere act of restoration, can fit himself for the inflowing of this Divine Love. It is waiting for the sinner as well as for the saint. And even though your sins be as scarlet, they will be made white as wool. I mean that you will not have to wait to make recompense to mortals before this Great Love can do the cleansing work. Else, what is the use of having this Great Love provided for man? If he shall first make himself pure, what is the necessity for the work of the Holy Spirit?

Only pray for this Love and have faith, and you will get It. God is the Judge of what a man shall do to render justice and restitution. And when He says that this Divine Love, with all Its cleansing power, is for the sinner who seeks for It by true faith, who has the right to say that the sinner must first do what man may think is justice between himself and his fellowman?

I know whereof I speak for the experiences of many spirits who have been redeemed by this Love show that they were sinners, and had not “paid the last farthing” when they received this Love. God is the Judge, not mortals or spirits.

So, my dear Ned, do not let the idea that you must render to every man that which you think he may be entitled to keep you from believing in the Mercy and Love of the Father.

Oh, how I wish I could be with you a little while in my bodily form and tell you face to face what this Great Love means to you and to me, and to all of us.

So sweetheart, believe me when I say that, even though you may be a great sinner, yet the Father’s Love is sufficient to remove all those sins just as soon as you can receive It. Such is the law of this Great Love.

Faith and prayer can open the very heart of the Celestial Spheres, and

Love will flow down into your soul
As the avalanche of snow,
That feels the warmth of the sun’s bright rays
Rushes from its mountain heights,
When winter leaves with its chilling gloom
And blasting breath for other climes.

Love is not only warmth, but It is the very burnings of the soul’s great storehouse of God’s Divine Essence.

I am not only the possessor of this Love to a large degree, but I also realize that, as I advance to higher spheres, there is a greater abundance awaiting to fill my soul with Its great, undying fires of never ending burnings - but burnings so great and free from everything that makes for unhappiness and discontent.

So, my own dear and precious Ned, love me as I love you, and we both will be so very happy that Heaven will be with us, and in us, even while we are writing in the earth surroundings.

A Soulmate in the Fifth Sphere Explains Spiritual Powers

I am here, Helen:

I am very happy and you are a little better, and there is no need to worry about Nita as she is now very happy in her school. I will try tonight to tell you of what I am now doing in my new home and in the earth sphere, where I am most of the time helping spirits.

Well, in my home I am so very much engaged in studying the laws of communicating with you that I have hardly time for anything else. I am now quite certain that I understand how to talk to you in an independent voice and also to materialize. So you must not be astonished any time to hear my voice or see me in the form of a materialized spirit. I am also trying to help the spirits who are in a condition of blindness and doubt.

I am living with your mother in her home, but I am not as spiritual as she. We are both very happy though and have everything that a heart could wish for.

My home here is much more beautiful than that which I had in the Third Sphere, and everything is beyond what I conceived when I lived there. The house and trees and flowers and fruits are very much more beautiful and delightful. No one could be anything but happy in such a home.

We have nothing to interfere with our happiness and everyone is a delightful companion and full of love and beauty. I have met many spirits that I did not know either on earth or in the spirit world before I came to this place, both men and women.

Yes, we have rivers and lakes and fields and mountains and all the beautiful landscapes that you can imagine. I not only enjoy these things, but they are more real than those of earth.

I am sometimes engaged in painting these flowers and landscapes, and have many pictures which others painted. I find that I can paint with a more artistic touch than when on earth. I have no trouble in drawing as you know I had some in my earth pictures.

I am also studying music, and especially my vocal lessons. You will be much surprised when you hear me sing as you cannot conceive what a different voice I have. Sometimes I try to sing some of the songs that I used to sing to you, but they are not pretty in comparison to the songs we have here, either in the music or the sentiments.

The music is so beautiful that I cannot describe it to you and even the love, which helps to make the music, is of such an intensity that you could not possibly understand if I should attempt to tell it to you.

Spiritually, I am now in a sphere that enables me to know what the love of God really is and that in His love I have almost complete happiness. I have gotten rid of those things. I now love everybody and am trying my best to help every soul that I possibly can. Feelings of dislike or envy or hatred have no place in my heart, for which I thank God.

Well, as you are not so much interested in my description, I will not attempt further portrayal of the things here. Yes, I can see it in your brain - you are thinking about other things, so you see, I know. Yes, but you must think of what I write for that is necessary in order for you to write. While I can guide your hand, yet I have also to use your brain to express my thoughts. You could if you will try. That is one of the things that I want you to do, for then you can hear what I say at any time and it will not be necessary for you to write.

Yes, it is better to presume what I write for sometimes it does you good to read over what I have said and feel over again the emotions which you felt at the time of your receiving my messages.

I love you all the time and you know it, but sometimes it is beneficial to reread my expressions of love, even though you doubt that they are mine. Let me tell you that you are not to remain in this state of doubt much longer, for I will so indubitably show my presence to you that you will never again doubt that I am with you.

Then when you write you will feel that I am, indeed, writing as convincingly as if I sat beside you and you could see me. It may happen any night as you sit and write or when you are lying in bed thinking of me and wondering if I am really with you. So you must be prepared to have anything happen which will show you that I am with you. Yes, I believe that I will be able to do that when you are all alone, and so you will hear my voice when you are alone.

No, this is the most satisfactory means of communicating that I know of. You can exchange your thoughts for mine, and can write so much more than I could possibly speak. Yes, I will be able to speak for a little while at a time, but not as I write.

No spirit can gather such power as would be required to continue to talk for any length of time. Even Bright Star, who is an adept, could not carry on an extended conversation, as she says.

The power that I now have enables me to manifest myself in several ways, such as the independent voice, materialization and writing. I do not know about the slate writing, but I believe that I can do that, too. At any rate, I will try to accomplish it sometime. I don't think that I will be able to manifest on the same night in an independent voice and also materialize for each manifestation requires great power.

Yes, I can knock on the table, but that does not give any special satisfaction -- all earthbound spirits can do that. It is the lowest order of manifestation. We, of the higher spheres, do not care to do that if we can manifest in any other way, and I would rather not try it.

I mean that I am stronger physically, spiritually and mentally than White Eagle. I do not know the exact extent of my power, but the spirits with a better knowledge of these things say that my power is so very unusual that I can do most anything that I may try. Of course, they mean within reasonable limitations. I could not take a mountain and move it, or even a very heavy substance, but I could lift you and will some time just to show you how strong I am.

I mean by having more powerful mentality that I have progressed so very much in knowledge and in my will power. I am not yet a wise woman, but in a certain line I have acquired a great deal of knowledge as regards, for instance, the way in which spirits and mortals while in the flesh.

I am not any more versed in the science of what controls the heavenly bodies, or why one star differeth from another in glory, or what are God's mysteries as you may consider them. These matters are being investigated by other and older spirits. But as regards love, both of God and spirits and mortals, I have learned a great deal.

Let me tell you that of all subjects that should interest men, love is the greatest. For love is the fulfilling of all law and the man, who knows what love is, I mean the real, genuine love both for God and his fellow mortals and spirits, has that which is not equaled by knowledge of anything else in all the Universe.

A Spirit Progresses to Third Sphere and Has Located His Soulmate

I am here, Prof. Salyards,

Your wife told you today that I would write tonight and I will try to do the best that I can.

I am now in the Third Sphere with your wife and father, who are my very constant companions, although I am not so highly developed in spirit love as is your wife, who is one of the most beautiful spirits of my acquaintance.

I am trying to learn what is possible about the laws that govern the spirit life but, as yet, I know comparatively little of them. I am also trying to write poems of love of God and of man. So you must not be surprised if some day I shall write to you some of my productions.

I am also trying to get more of God's Love in my heart, so that I may progress to the higher spheres and find the greatest happiness possible to obtain.

My present condition is one of great happiness, but I know that there is greater, higher up, and that as your grandmother and mother have found it, I will be able to find it also, if I follow the way that they have pursued.

Yes, I have found my soulmate, thanks to your wife, and I cannot tell you how happy I am. Your wife was certainly good to me and I will never cease to thank and love her for her interest in me.

My soulmate is a very beautiful and spiritual woman, who I never knew on earth even though she lived in a part of the valley not very far from my home. Her name was Sarah Conway, as she tells me and her father was a farmer near Mt. Crawford. She is now here and says that you are a very dear man to suggest that your wife find her.

She says that she had never been instructed that she had a soulmate and that, until your wife told her, she did not know that I was the one that God intended for her. I do not understand why this is, but it seems to be so.

I have heard that there is a law of attraction as you say, but just how that law operates I am not able to say. Your wife seems to have a knowledge of this law, which I do not have and have never yet tried to learn. She is a wonderful spirit in her investigations of certain laws pertaining to the laws of spirits for one another.

How she obtained this knowledge, I am not yet informed and cannot explain just how she discovered who my soulmate is. I know though that I have found her and that she is mine forever. How, I don't know, but she did locate her and I have her now with me.

She says that your wife told your mother who my soulmate is and your mother, who is in the same sphere, told her and she came down to my home and found me and then knew that I was intended for her. She is in the Fifth Sphere where your mother lives.

Yes, I see that it is and I will include it in my catalogue of studies. You are right when you say that I must study this matter, for the happiness of so many spirits depends upon knowing their soulmates, that it is well worth studying so that I may help them in finding who is the one that God has selected for any inquiring spirit.

She has not yet, but she will as I will ask her and she is so good that I know that she will tell me. She is a very diligent student of many of the things pertaining to the love of the spirits for the humans and she had made wonderful progress in her studies of the various means of communication between them.

But she is so beautiful and so filled with God's Love that I scarcely know what to tell you of her current condition on any of these subjects. She is a wonderful spirit in her accomplishments in almost any line of investigation.

Yes, I know that it may seem impossible to you, but she is a spirit of such energy and determination that nothing seems to prevent her progressing in these things. She is also a wonderful lover of her soulmate and he should consider himself highly blessed by having the great love which she has for him.

You need not think that all soulmates have this wonderful love for they do not. Love here seems to be something like love on earth. In some, it is developed to a greater degree than in others. I am one who is very deep in my feeling of love and so my soulmate seems to be.

You are very tired and I must stop.

A Spirit Writes of Love to Her Soulmate Who is Still Living on Earth

I am here, Mrs. Horner,

Let me say only a few words for I am so anxious to write a few lines and have been for some time. Many times I have been with you and my husband as you conversed of things pertaining to the spiritual world and I was very hopeful that he would believe what you said to him and turn his thoughts to an investigation of the truths that he would surely find and thereby give me the opportunity of coming to him in my voice, at least, and telling him that I am not dead but very happy and always watching over him to comfort him.

I know that I have been away from him, as he has thought, for a long time and that other things have intervened in his life to cause him to forget me to a more or less degree and to think that it was all of life to live on earth and find his happiness there.

This, of course, was quite natural, and I was not hurt as you mortals say, because of the fact that he had, as he thought, given his affections to another for I knew the conditions of his heart better than he himself knew it and saw that his real love was mine and that no other could take it from me or, as he may be surprised to hear, he could not give it to another.

I have heard you talk to him about the soulmate love and he has some conception of it and I want to tell him that this is the love that is binding us together and nothing in all the universe of God can sever that bond. I should like to tell him what this bond means and sometime, if you will indulge me, I will do so but tonight I will not take your time.

But tell him this, that I thought when on earth that I loved him, and I did, but now I realize how faint that love was as compared to what I now have for him, and what will always be his.

He may not believe that I am writing to him or that my love for him is as I write it is, but as certain as his friend, death, at some time will come to him, so certain is it that when he comes to the Spirit World he will find this love waiting for him and also his soulmate, just at the entrance of his real home.

Well, I must not write more but kindly tell him that I am a very happy spirit with my home in the Fifth Sphere, and that I am bright and beautiful in appearance, as they tell me.

When I left the earth plane the darkness of race left me and I became one of the shining ones and every spirit associate that I had was and is my true brother and sister, and the Father is my Father, and I am His child.

As my soul progressed and developed in Love, I became nearer like unto the Father and my spirit body and appearance showed the purity of my soul. And such will be his destiny if he will only follow the way that the Father has provided for him by which he can obtain one of the beautiful mansions of these spheres.

I will tell him only one thing more before I stop writing and that is that as my soul developed in Love, my intellect and knowledge also developed and I became very wise without having to study as you mortals do on earth, and now I see that many of your so-called wise men are, in their wisdom, very foolish, and in their understanding very ignorant.

I write this because he may think that now I am the same person in my intellect and knowledge that I was when we were happy together. And we were happy for a short while, for I loved him with all the fervor of my young life and trust and was so sorrowful when I had to leave him but God knew best, and now I know that it was for the best.

As I said, I still love him, but with a greater and more fervent love than ever and sometimes I love him so very intensely that I draw him to me and enjoy a spirit communion with him, although he may not realize it.

Pardon me for writing so long. With my love to him I will say good night.

I was Mrs. Horner when on earth for a short time when he gave me the fine love of his youth, and I will be his for all eternity.

Mrs. Horner Writes of Love to Her Soulmate

An Intellectual Spirit Meets His Soulmate - Learns About Love

I am here, your own Helen,

I am engaged as you know, among other things, in finding the spirits' soulmates and bringing them together.

There is a spirit here who believes that the soulmate theory is a false one and only intended to deceive those who are so very lonely and unhappy, and that a man, who has any stamina or any intellect, will not be fooled by such ideas as that soulmates exist and are awaiting to become united. Well, he was in that condition of loneliness and was very unhappy, although he had very great intellectual acquirements and prided himself on that fact.

He thought that love and kindred things are for women and foolish men, when he was suddenly visited by a most beautiful spirit and asked if he had yet found his soulmate. He replied that he had not and didn't want to, unless she should happen to be as beautiful as the spirit who was talking to him and, that if such a thing could be, he would be most happy to find her.

Well, she asked him why he should suppose that his soulmate would be so beautiful, when he was a spirit who was not so very attractive looking and all crooked and devoid of anything that would tend to make him appreciate beauty or love in another.

He said that he did not consider himself so unattractive as she said, because he was possessed of a knowledge of very many things that the ordinary spirit did not have and that, consequently, he must be more attractive looking than she described him to be. And as to love, why, he could love, he thought, if he could find anyone whom he considered worth being loved.

Then she told him that she was his soulmate, but he could never have her until he acquired more love and a larger understanding of spiritual things, that her home was up in the Fifth Sphere, and that he could not go there to live with her until he had gotten sufficient Love in his soul to make him fitted to dwell there, and the longer he delayed trying to get this Love, the longer he would be separated from her and would, now that he knew she was his soulmate, be most unhappy that his intellectual acquirements would not help him very much, and the only thing that would enable him to progress to where she lived was a development of Love in his soul.

He said that he did not know much about love, but if she would show him the way to obtain it, he would devote his whole soul and efforts to getting it. She then told him he must give up the pride which he indulged in and which kept him encased in himself and learn to love everybody else in a brotherly way and God with all his heart and soul; that when he made that effort, he would find that this love, which she as his soulmate must have for him, would come to him, and he would soon realize that in all the spirit world love is the greatest thing to possess; and when a spirit has that, he needs nothing else to make him happy.

He did not seem to comprehend what she said, but said he would try to let his pride of intellect leave him and make the effort to let his soul receive this Love so that, thereafter, Love should be first and knowledge and everything merely intellectual follow after.

So, you see, a soulmate may be found, but not acquired until love commensurate with the love possessed by the higher soul is gotten by the lower soul.

No merely intellectual acquirement is sufficient to attract and make one, two soulmates. Only love in perfect harmony can bring about this union. Let love rule and happiness is the lot of all spirits. But, of course, this love is comparative and so is the ensuing happiness.

A Celestial spirit describes an incident in her work of finding the soulmates of spirits...

A Spirit's Message to Her Soulmate Who Is Still Living on Earth

I am here, Helen:

Well, sweetheart, as Dr. Stone wants so much to hear from his soulmate Mary, and she is here and is so very anxious to write him, I will tell you what she says, as follows:

She wants Leslie to know that he is so very dear to her, that he must not let his thoughts of love wander from her to any other person either on earth or in the spirit land. She has loved him so long and, only recently has she had the opportunity to let him know in a way that he could understand. She feels as if she must just let her whole heart burst upon him with its great fountain of love for him.

She is not able to express to him the extent or intensity of her love, but she does love him to the full limit of her capacity. And when he lies down at night or when he awakens in the morning, she is with him trying to flood his soul with her love and happiness.

She will not be content to ever have him think that her love is not his, for it is to its fullness. Tell him that he must believe her, and that she is with him nearly all the time trying to help him and make him feel her presence.

She is not so very far away that she cannot know at all times what his feelings are and when he gets lonely and wants her help. He must try and come in rapport with her even when he is alone in his room and thinks that no one is with him. She is his own now and will be through all eternity.

Only love like hers can last when disappointments and troubles come and, when they do come, her love grows stronger and sweeter, and he will feel it more as he feels the need of it.

She is not now trying to make him believe that she is only waiting for him to come over in order that he may know that she loves him with all her heart and soul, but she loves him in that way while he is on earth beset by all the cares that come to him. He must love her more and more each day, and he will find that his happiness will increase as this love grows.

Tell him that she is in the fifth sphere and is preparing a home for him which will be so bountiful that he will be more surprised than he will be at the beauties of the spirit plane where she is for her home, in addition to having the beauties that are in that plane, will have her love permeating it.

She has another love which not only helps her love for him to become more intense and pure; but which draws her nearer to the Father of Love. This is the greatest of all Loves, and she wants him to let his heart become filled with it also. It is his if he will only seek for it, and believe that the Father is ready to give it to him, for he is not only ready but anxious.

Tell my dear Leslie to pray to God and ask that this Love may be given to him and fill his soul for if he does, he will receive it and, when he does, he will not only love God supremely but will love his true soulmate with a purer and sweeter love than he can conceive of and, when he does that, he will find that his happiness will be so great and joyful that the little cares and troubles of his earthly life will not be able to mar that happiness or make him wish for any other kind.

I am his and he is mine, and when he realizes that he will know what "soulmate" means. We are not for each other for a time only but for all eternity and even eternity will not be too long for the enjoyment of our mutual love.

Oh, he is my own true soulmate, and I am so happy in that knowledge that my cup of joy seems to be full and running over. Let him think of me as being close by his side all the time, sharing his joys and sympathizing with him in all his sorrows, and he will feel that he is not alone.

Tell him also to try and become a true lover of God and the truths of the teachings of his son, Jesus of Nazareth, our brother and helper. I am a firm believer in these things and know that they are true; and I want my dear soulmate to believe with me for in that belief is found the happiness which I tell him of.

I must stop now - so say goodbye, and rest in the belief that no matter what troubles or cares may come, whether you love me all the time or not, I will love you now and always with my whole heart and soul, and will wait with all the patience possible for your coming. So, Leslie dear, goodbye.

* * *

Helen further writes: Well, she loves him with a very pure and steadfast love - not so demonstrative as Rose's love for the Judge (Judge Syrick) but so deep and pure. She is a lovely spirit and one who is filled with the Love of her Father, and one who is worthy of all the love that any man can give her. I am very fond of her and see a great deal of her. She is so gentle and loving and tender and is so loved by many spirits to whom she has administered consolation and help.

Helen writes a message to Dr. Leslie Stone from his soulmate, Mary Kennedy

Various Experiences of Spirits When They Arrive in the Spirit World, part two

This work to me is one that is not only interesting, but which gives me the great happiness that comes with the realization that I have been the means of leading a spirit to learn to love God and to receive the happiness which the love of God gives to spirits. I tell you that this teaching is the grandest that I ever engaged in all my life.

When on earth as I taught and saw the young mind develop, I found much happiness in the knowledge that I was doing some good. But here, in my teachings, when I see a soul develop, I realize that I am doing a spirit that greatest of all good in bringing it at-one in love with the Father and happiness here and that of earth, as the soul development is so much greater than the development of the mere mind.

My work is not confined entirely to this teaching. I also am engaged in trying to assist mortals to a true conception of the life here - I mean the spiritual part of this life.

No man is entirely without spirit influence, whether good or evil. Many are susceptible to the influence of the evil spirits and, for that reason, the work of the good spirits is so much more difficult. There is in man's nature that which leads him to evil thoughts so much easier than to good thoughts. This is an old saying, I know, but is a true one, and the fact that it has been said so often and for so long a time does not decrease the importance of it as a truth.

So while men have felt this evil inclination in their nature, the fight between the good and evil influences will be somewhat unequal. The advantage though with the good influences is that what they suggest is truth which will never die, while the suggestions of the evil influences last only for a comparatively short time.

When the material gives up the spirit being which it clothes, that being will then be relieved of many of these natural tendencies to evil thoughts and deeds and, while this mere separation does not make a devil a saint, it makes it so much easier for the spirit to get rid of many of these evil tendencies and makes him more susceptible to the influence of truth and goodness.

You must not think from this as soon as they have been in the spirit world for a little time, they become good spirits, for that is not true. Many evil spirits have been in the spirit world for a great many years and, yet, have their evil thoughts and desires and all the evil qualities of hatred, malice, envy, etc., as when they were on earth.

Their giving up the earth life did not deprive them of their will, the greatest force or power that God gave to man, except that of love. And many of these spirits refuse to exercise their will in a way that will enable them to rid themselves of these evil thoughts and desires.

So you see, the mere fact of becoming a spirit does not mean that the mortal has become a good and saintly spirit. No, I am sorry to say that many men who were very evil on earth are still evil as spirits and their happiness, which they think they have, is only that happiness which they, as men, thought they realized from the exercise of evil thoughts and acts.

Yet, there is one great redeeming fact connected with their dark and sad condition and, that is, that in the end, whenever it so pleases God, all evil will be banished from the spirit world, and all spirits will be given that happiness which comes from a nature free from sin and error. Not by the fiat of God, but by men seeking and doing those things that will free the soul from sin and error and again come into harmony with God's laws. Just such I imagine as Adam and Eve enjoyed in the historical Garden of Eden.

But that happiness, while of a character that brings much contentment and peace, yet is not the true happiness which God is waiting to give all His children who ask and seek for the inflowing of the Divine Love in their souls.

I will not discourse on this great happiness tonight as it would take too long and you are somewhat tired, but will say that all men should seek for it both on earth and in the spirit world. When on earth I did not have it, but since I came here I found it and now possess it, thanks be to God and His loving kindness.

You folks all have it and many others too numerous to mention.

Let me stop now as I am tired and you need to rest. So with all my love and best wishes,

I am your old professor,
Joseph H. Salyards

Professor Salyards Describes Various Experiences of Spirits When They Arrive in the Spirit World.

Various Experiences of Spirits When They Arrive in the Spirit World, part one

I am here, Prof. Salyards.

Well, I am very happy and desire to write you on some phases of spirit life that I have observed in my experience of progressing.

I have noticed that the spirit, when it first comes into this life, is very often in a condition of darkness, not realizing where it is or what its surroundings are and, in many instances, it requires quite a long time for the spirit to realize that it is not still of earth.

But in many cases this is not the condition of the spirit, for it seems to have an immediate understanding of its condition and surroundings. I attribute the first mentioned condition to be due to the fact that, when on earth, the mortal had no definite belief as to what the future life might be and, in many instances, believed that the soul went into the grave with the body to await the great resurrection day.

Some of your religious denominations are preaching that doctrine now and, the consequence will be that all those who believe the doctrine will experience the condition of darkness and the want of knowledge of the continuity of life that I have spoken of.

The second class of spirits, or those who appear to realize immediately that they have passed from earth to spirit life are those who, while on earth, believed that the spirit when it left the body passed immediately into the Heavenly Spheres, or into the opposite - I mean the place of the wicked. I know that many of this class have hardly realized that they were in Heaven or Hell, for some little time after their entrance into spirit life.

Well, as soon as the spirits realize fully that they are no longer of earth, they commence to inquire as to where they are and many of them ask questions that indicate that they are disappointed in not realizing the expectations that they had while on earth.

It is very difficult at times to convince them that there are no such places as the Heavens and the Hells as taught by the churches, for while our spirit world may be a Heaven or Hell to them, yet the Heaven or Hell that they expect to find is not here.

Some, on the other hand, do not seem to understand that they have really left the earth, because they say if we had left the earth life, we would know nothing - quoting Job and some of the preachers: "the dead know nothing."

I have been very much interested in observing these different phases of the departed spirits' beliefs and thoughts. Now all this shows the absolute necessity of mortals understanding the truths pertaining to life and death.

This affords a very strong argument why Spiritualism should be more extensively and earnestly taught to mortals and why the false doctrines of those who teach either that the dead know nothing or, that the departed spirit goes either to Heaven or to Hell in the orthodox sense, should be shown to be not only a false belief, but injurious to mankind.

Let the believers and teachers of Spiritualism make greater and stronger efforts to refute these harmful teachings, and they will be doing the cause of truth and of man's happiness a great good.

I am not only interested in these phases but in all others which show that the spirits, even after they realize that they are still alive and must live as spirits, continue to show the fact that their orthodox teachings are false.

Some say that they may yet be able to go back into the body and await the great resurrection day for deliverance and say that they will soon see God and that He will take them into His Heavens where they will find that eternal rest and peace that they were taught to expect when on earth, and the wicked even look in dread to have some devil come and carry them to the Hells where torture of the most terrible kind they think awaits them.

From all this you may understand that we spirits, who know the truth, have a great work to do to enable these darkened spirits to understand and believe that their false hopes and dreadful fears have no foundation in truth and will never be realized. This work many spirits are engaged in doing and these spirits are not necessarily of the higher kind for many spirits, who occupy the earth plane and have no real spiritual enlightenment, are engaged in this work.

I am not now engaged in causing these dark spirits to see the truth for I have progressed to higher things and my mission is to teach the truths of the higher life, which I have been taught by spirits who live in higher spheres.

A Spirit Describes Various Experiences of Spirits When They Arrive in the Spirit World.

A Soulmate Describes her Home in the Third Sphere of the Spirit World, part one

I am here, Helen.

I am very happy for I have so much Love of God in my heart that I cannot think of anything that tends to make me unhappy.

My home is very beautiful and I am perfectly delighted with it. It is made of white marble and is surrounded by lawns and flowers and trees of various kinds. The grass is so very green and the flowers are so beautiful and variegated. The trees are always in foliage and have such beautiful limbs and leaves. I am most pleased with my home, I mean the building.

There are many beautiful pictures on the walls, and the walls are all frescoed and hung with fine coverings, and the floors are inlaid with beautiful mosaics. I have all the splendid furniture that I could possibly wish for, and my library is full of books of all kinds, especially of those that tell of God and His Love for man. You would be in your element if you could be with me.

I have beds on which I lie down, but I never sleep. We do not need sleep here; we only rest, for sometimes we get tired from our work and are greatly refreshed by lying on the beds and couches which are so comfortable that we do not realize that we are tired after lying down a little while.

I have music, such as you never heard on earth, and instruments of various kinds which I am learning to play, and I sing with all my heart and soul as the days go by. Our instruments are not like those on earth, they are not stringed instruments, but are played by our thoughts of goodness and love. We do not use fingers or lungs, but merely thoughts, and if they are pure and loving, our music is very beautiful and not discordant.

When I sing I think of you and wish that you could hear me as you did when I was with you in the body. I like "The Song that Reached my Heart," it seems to bring me more in rapport with you than any of the others, although "Sing Me to Sleep" is one that I enjoy to sing very much.

We eat fruit and nuts, but do not do so because we are hungry, but more because we enjoy the flavors so much; and we drink water, pure and sweet, as it makes us feel so refreshed when we are a little tired. Our fruit is not of the earthly kind - it is so much more delightful that I am unable to describe it to you. And the nuts are different, also, and the water is purer than what you have and is more refreshing.

Yes, it is permanent, and the house and trees and flowers are more real to me than were ever the houses and trees and flowers on earth; they are not shadowy as you may think, but are so very substantial that they never decay or grow old.

Yes, I have one selected for you now, and will make it so beautiful that you will wonder how it was possible for me to do so; there will be so much love in it that there will be no room for anything that is not in harmony with my love, and you will realize that your own Helen loves you with all the love that a soul can have for its mate.

When you are asleep, or doing something in the line of your work; then you do not need me and I am free to leave you. You must not think that I am not free to leave you when I am with you, for I am and I come to you of my own free will; but love compels and in that particular I am not free and don't want to be.

Your love for me is the greatest thing, except God's Love in all the world and without it, I would be very unhappy. You do not know how very necessary your loving me is to my happiness; and you must never cease to love me, for if you do not, I will not enjoy my home or the spirit world so much. Yes, I know, but I sometimes fear that you may forget to think of me as I want you to.

Yes, we will be together in every way and separated only while we are doing some of God's work. You will be with me in all my thoughts and I will be with you in your thoughts. Love will keep us through all eternity.

Helen describes her home in the Third Sphere.

A Soulmate Explains the Process of Dying, part two

But after awhile I commenced to think that I must be deceived in my sight and hearing, and was still on earth, and needed only my body again to know that I was still a mortal. Some time elapsed before I really became conscious that I was a spirit and was not on earth; for when I tried to talk to you, as I did, you would not listen to me and turned away from me as if you did not see or hear me.

After a short time your mother and father came to me again and tried to persuade me that I must not continue in my belief that I was still of the earth, but must believe that I was in spirit life and needed only the things of the spirit to make me more contented.

So you see, I was so very fortunate in having your dear parents and grandmother welcome me when I passed over. If they had not received me, I do not know to what condition of fear and distraction I might have been subjected.

No spirit can learn the truth of the change, unless in some way helped by others.

So you see when you come over, I will be there to receive you and love you so much that you will never have to go through the period of doubt that I did. Your father is also waiting to receive you and, in fact, all your spirit band have agreed that when you come, you will have nothing to fear for want of help and love.

I first saw my parents after I commenced to believe that I was in the spirit world, and when I saw them they did not know me, but thought that I was still in the body and that they were still on earth, as they had not yet awakened to the fact that they were in the spirit world. They were very unhappy, and it took considerable talking to make them believe that they were spirits and not mortals.

My father was more easily convinced than was my mother, for he commenced sooner to recall that when death comes, the spirit must go to God who gave it. My mother would not believe so soon, for she continued to think that she was with her acquaintances on earth, and that they were not treating her very courteously, for when she spoke to them, they would not answer. But thank God, they both now realize that they are in the spirit world and that they must learn to love God if they would be happy.

Yes, when my son came to where my body lay, I returned to it, and saw it taken away, and afterwards buried; but I still did not understand what it all meant, and only when your grandmother told me that I would no more inhabit it, did I commence to realize that I had left it forever. But even then I had some feeling that she was mistaken, and that in some way I would return to it again and continue to live on earth.

Yes, when I had been in the spirit world a short time, I saw other spirit forms and, even then, I was not in a condition of mind to fully understand that they were spirits and not mortals. The resemblance is very real to one who has never had his spiritual eyes opened; and even though the spirit forms all appear much more beautiful and bright, yet to me they all seemed to be human forms, and I thought that I was not in condition to fully see just what they were.

You must let me stop now, for I am tired.

Your own true and loving, Helen

The first message James received from his wife and soulmate Helen Padgett.

A Soulmate Explains the Process of Dying, part one

I am here, Helen.

I am so very happy as you are loving me very much tonight, for I can see that your thoughts are with me so much more than of late, so let me continue to feel that you love me so much.

When I realized that the time had come for me to go, I did not fear to do so, but calmly waited and thought that all my sufferings would soon end. I did not know that I was dying, but felt that something unusual was happening, and I was not afraid.

As I always in life dreaded death, as you know, the strange thing to me was that I did not look upon death as dying. It was only a pleasant dreamy feeling, and I only thought that I was going to become absent from my body until it was refreshed. My thoughts were not of death at all. I had been suffering pain, but I thought that I was getting well, and the feeling of relief that came over me was the result of my getting better.

As my spirit arose, I thought only of my condition and how soon I would be able to return home and see my friends. No other thoughts came to me - not even my love for God, or the fact that I was not in condition as regards my soul to meet my Maker as I had been taught. There was absolutely no fear of what might happen to me, or that I would soon be called upon to account for the sins I had committed.

Just before my spirit left my body, I was unconscious, but just as soon as the separation commenced, I became fully conscious and knew everything that took place and did not feel at all as if I were in danger or needed the help of anyone.

And when my spirit left the body, I commenced to feel as if I was rising out of it and that I was going upward to the place that I had so often heard my father speak about. When I commenced to leave the body, there was no pain or suffering, only a feeling that I was rising out of it.

So you see death, which I so much feared, was not such a dreadful thing to experience.

No darkness appeared to me, and I saw my body lying there as if it were asleep. I did not try to hold it, but thought that it was merely taking a rest and that, as soon as it felt refreshed, I would enter it again and continue to live as before. I did not wait for it to awaken, but continued to arise until your mother clasped me in her arms - she was my own dear mother, as well as yours.

She was trying to tell me that I had nothing to fear or cause me to feel that I was not with those that loved me. She was so beautiful that I hardly realized that it was she, and when I commenced to see that I was no longer in my body, I asked her not to leave me but to take me with her to where she lived.

She told me that I could not go there, but that God had prepared a place for me to go to, and that she would accompany me and show me the truth of my future existence. I went with her, and she took me to a place that was very beautiful and filled with spirits who had recently passed over.

She did not leave me for a long time, and when she did, your father came to me and said, "I am Ned's father and want to help you to realize that you are now in the spirit world, and must not let the thoughts of the earth keep you from getting in a condition to learn that all of us are only waiting for the Love of God to help us to higher and better things."

Your grandmother soon came to me and told me who she was, and was so beautiful and bright that I scarcely could look at her, for her face was all aglow with what seemed to me to be a Heavenly light; and her voice was so sweet and musical that I thought she must be one of God's angels that I had read about in the Bible. She told me of the things that God had prepared for me, and that He wanted me to love Him and feel that He Loved me.

The first message James received from his wife and soulmate Helen Padgett.

A Beautiful Soulmate Love Letter

I am here, Helen:

Yes, I am when you need me and feel that I am your own true wife. I am not yet ready to let you see that you are so necessary to my happiness, that I must be with you all the time, for if I do you will become so careless of my love and will think that all you have to do is say, "Come Helen," and I will be there.

Thanks are not in order as you are too very much of a flirt to make me believe that you really mean "thank you." But you are my darling Ned, and I love you and you know it, and I am glad that you do. You are too much in love with me to ever want another.

I know and I thank God that He gave us to each other, for if I had not your love, I would not be so happy. Oh my darling, I so long to have you with me all the time, so that I could tell you of my great love for you, and that you are the only one that I love or have ever loved in all my life.

Be so true to me that no doubt will arise in your mind that I am the one that God selected for you. Let us continue to love God and then we will love each other with love that knows no ending or falling away. My love for you is not only for a time, but for all eternity, and we will never be separated after you come over to me.

Yes, it is possible, for I know that our love will become so real, that the mere fact of your being in the physical body will not prevent us from realizing that we are together in all the reality of our true being and love.

You will not have to wait very long before you will hear my voice and feel my presence in a way that will convince you that I am with you in all my strength and real existence. Let us believe that we are one in spirit and love, and our realization of that fact will be strong that we will be certain that the union is true. Give me all your thoughts for a while and you will learn that I am not only yours in spirit and love but in real personal contact and actual presence.

So do not doubt that I am with you now, writing this love letter as I promised you this afternoon, for I am actually writing it and you have nothing to do with it but merely hold the pencil.

You do not deserve the blessings which God has given you, but He is so loving and merciful, that He sees that you need His love and my love to make you happy, and in the end become a spiritual man and a true follower of Jesus, who is also your true friend and teacher. He will tell you all things that the Father has in store for you and will not let you go astray again as you did when we were living together on earth.

So do not let the thought that you are too worldly or too great a sinner keep you from seeking the love of the Father or believing that Jesus is interested in your welfare both on earth and in this world. Only believe what He may tell you and you will not be left to go wrong.

Try to let your thoughts turn more to God's love and to mine.

Yes, they all love you very much, but not as I do, because their love is that of a parent, while mine is that of one whom God has decreed shall be the necessary part of a love that is one and a perfect whole.

Our loves are not two but one and, if either part is not in true accord, the perfect one is not in existence. So you see we must be sure that our loves are just in that accord that is necessary to make the perfect one.

Let us not write anymore tonight as I am tired and so are you. Yes you did, but under the conditions, we could not do what you desired.

With all my love and best wishes for your happiness, I am your own true wife and sweetheart, Helen

A beautiful love letter from Helen telling about one love (soulmate love) that is in store for them as they both seek the Divine Love of the Father.

God - Who He Is

God is the only one who is supreme and all powerful and loving and wise.

He is not a being of form or individuality as we may understand, but is a substance of being and soul. His soul is that part of Him which embraces all the affections of love, which love is bestowed on us in order that we may become like our Heavenly Father.

Our Father is not capable of being seen with the physical or spiritual sight, but can only be seen with the soul's eyes of perfect love.

No one has ever heard the voice of God, for He has no voice. He works in a silent mysterious way through the operation of His soul upon our souls. So we must understand that God speaks to us through His Angels, or through the communication of His Soul and theirs.

He is not in any particular place or seated on a throne in His Heavens, but His attributes are everywhere and fill the whole universe. The earth is a very small portion of the universe, and we must not believe that God is only in the Heavens where His children of earth go when we cease to live as mortals.

God is a God of Love above everything else, and the sooner we learn and believe this fact, the sooner will happiness exist on the earth as well as in the Heavens.

God is not a God of hatred, nor does He chastise His children in wrath or anger. His love is with all of us, be we saints or sinners, and no one suffers punishment because the Father wants us to suffer.

He is also a God of Mercy and Forgiveness and will forgive our sins and shed His Mercy over us, if we will truly and in sincerity ask His Forgiveness and seek His Mercy.

He is also a God of Wisdom and His plans for our redemption and salvation are the only plans that can be adopted for us to try to follow in order that we may receive this salvation.

So God is everything in nature and attributes which will not only redeem us from our sins, but will make us lovers of one another and brothers and sisters in the true sense of the word.

He is also a God of Power and, in the days to come when He sees fit to carry out and perfect His plans in their full fruition, He will, through the working of His Spirit which is perfect in its working, destroy all sin and error in His Universe and perfect harmony will reign and we will be at peace and happiness.

The world will not be destroyed but, when the great day of judgment comes, all sin will be eradicated from the world, and we will continue to live upon the earth, free from sin and unhappiness, just as it is supposed that Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden.

James E. Padgett received the second formal message from Jesus only a few days after on his Father's Nature as my God and your God.

Faith - What It Is

Faith is that which when possessed in its real and true meaning makes the aspirations and longings of our soul a real, living existence, and one so certain and palpable that no doubt will arise as to its reality.

This faith is not the belief that arises from the mere operation of our mind, but that which comes from the opening of the perceptions of our soul, and which enables its possessor to see God in all His Beauty and Love.

The possessor of this faith will not actually see God in form or feature, for He has none, but our soul perceptions will be in such condition that all the Attributes of the Father will appear so plainly to us, that they will be as real as anything that we can see with the eyes of the spirit form.

Such faith comes only with constant earnest prayer, and the reception into our soul of the Divine Love. No one can be said to have faith who has not this Divine Love.

Faith is a progressive quality, or essence of the soul, and increases as possession of this Divine Love increases and is not dependent on anything else. Your prayers call from the Father a response that brings with it faith, and with this faith comes a knowledge of the existence of this Love in your own soul.

Many people may understand this faith to be a mere belief, but it is greater than belief and is existing in its true sense only in our soul. Belief may arise from a conviction of our mind, but faith never can. Its place of being is in our soul, and no one can possess it unless their soul is awakened by the inflowing of this Love.

So that when we pray to the Father to increase our faith, it is a prayer for the increase of Love. Faith is based on the possession of this Love, and without it there can be no faith, because it is impossible for our soul to exercise its function when Love is absent from it.

Faith is not a thing that can be obtained by a mere exercise of our mind, but has to be sought for with our soul perceptions, and when obtained will be enjoyed only by our soul perceptions.

Faith and how it can be obtained.
