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.
Aman (Adam), the First Parent, Shares His Testimony, Eve (Amon) Did Not Seduce Adam to Do the Great Wrong

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,
