I am here, Caligula,
I was the Roman Emperor and the murderer of the Christians, and have since that time, and for my sins, suffered all the horrors of a Hell which I can't describe.
Suffice it to say that the Hell of the Bible, or of those who interpret the Bible, is not equal in its torments and horrors to the Hell that I passed through. I tell you this that you may know that every man will have to pay the penalties for the evil deeds he does when on earth, and as my deeds were so extremely evil my penalties were correspondingly great.
But, thank God, I have paid my penalties and am now enjoying the happiness of the Christian Heaven, for I am now a follower of that Jesus, whose followers I persecuted.
Strange as it may seem to you, the cause of my conversion to Christianity was one of the very Christians whom I murdered. She was a beautiful spirit when I first saw her in the spirit world, and when she came to me and told me of the great love of the Father, and the kindness and humility of the Master, I was then in much darkness, though I had suffered for many long years and my thoughts were commencing to turn to things that ultimately helped me to get out of my darkness and find relief from my sufferings.
But this Christian spirit came to me with such love and forgiveness in her speech, that I was greatly affected by what she said and by her appearance, and I listened to her as she told me of the wonderful love of the Father and the great desire of the Master that I should seek for that love and the happiness which it brings to spirits who obtain it.
She had many interviews with me, and at last, she told me that her happiness depended, to some extent, on my getting this Divine Love in my soul, and progressing with her to the sphere of light and love. She said that I was her soulmate and that my love was necessary for her happiness, and that I could not give her that Love until I had become the possessor of the Divine Love to some extent. So you can imagine what an effect this declaration had on me.
I saw that she was beautiful and pure and loving, and that I was not a fit soulmate for her, and that I must try to make myself a suited soulmate in order that I could be with her. And, in addition, when she told me of her love for me, and that we were necessary to each other's happiness, I had a most wonderful longing to be with her and enjoy her love, and the desire soon took possession of me, that I commenced to inquire the way by which I might get this great love, or start to get it, and she told me then of the love of the Master, and how he could teach me the way and what power he had to help spirits like myself to get out of the darkness and torture into light and happiness.
And so I continued in my longings and desires, until at last, my spirit seemed to have a power to rise out of the darkness and to meet other spirits who were not dark and forbidding as I was.
She often came to me and taught me to pray, and I did pray and ask forgiveness and for just a little of that Divine Love of which she had told me.
At last as I was praying and hoping for this Love and for deliverance, the Master came to me, and such a wonderful loving spirit he was, the most beautiful and loving and yet the most humble that I had ever seen or ever have seen, and he commenced to tell me of this wonderful love of the Father, and how it was working for me to fill my soul and make a child of God, and at-one with Him, and he told me that the only things necessary were for me to pray to the Father and have faith and in all earnestness repent of my great sins. That if I did so, the Love would come to me, and as it came into my soul all the sins and recollections of my sins would leave me so that I would be able to progress to a higher sphere where light and love were.
I could not resist his influence, and I did not want to for my soulmate was with me in her love, with pleading eyes and anxious looks, and I commenced to have this faith, and to pray with all the earnestness of my soul and, at last, light came to me and love came flowing into my soul and what a happy spirit I became, and thanked God for his mercy. My soulmate rejoiced with me and we were so happy in our loves and in the great love of the Father.
From thence, I have been progressing ever since, until now I am in the Celestial Spheres, where love is the ruling principle and only those who possess this Divine Love can live, and where Jesus is our Prince and elder brother.
Caligula, the Emperor, is now a humble follower of the despised Nazarene and happy in his humility and in his following of such a loving saviour.
My soulmate is with me, and whenever I look upon her and think that I was the cause of her sufferings and death upon earth, my whole soul goes out to her in great streams of love and she knows it, and that is a part of my great repentance.
So you see, that even though a man may be the vilest of sinners on earth, yet the Father's Mercy is so great that His love is never turned away, or is His mercy ever withheld.
I tell you that Love - the Father's Love - is the greatest thing in all the universe, and like unto it is the pure, holy love of the soulmate who has in her soul the great Love of the Father.
I must not write more tonight, but as I was passing I saw the brilliant light that is with you and I embraced the opportunity to write.
My friend, you must also thank God for his goodness to you, for I have seen your soulmate and she is a most beautiful spirit.
So with the love of a brother in Christ, I am your friend, Caligula the Roman Emperor that was, and the Christian that is.

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.
Your own Helen

Padgett's Cousin Finds Her Soulmate
I am here, Laura Burroughs,
I am glad to be able to write you again and tell you that since I last wrote you I have made much progress and have come into the possession of much more happiness.
Dear cousin, I am so glad that I can tell you this, for I know that you rejoice with me in my happiness and the knowledge of what great mercy has come to me. I merely wanted to say this for it makes me very happy to come to you in this way.
Well he, my earthly husband, is in the Spirit World but in a very dark plane and is not at all happy. I have been with him some but have not been able to do him any good as his old beliefs cling to him and prevent his progress. Sometime we may be able to help him and will try then.
She, Helen, has told me he is not my soulmate and I have met my soulmate very recently. He is in the same sphere with me and we are very happy together and are trying to progress together.
Well, I never knew him on earth. He lived in Pennsylvania and died a long time before I did and tells me that he had to go through much suffering and darkness before he got into the plane of light. He is a very bright spirit and I could love him, I believe, if he were not my soulmate. But as he is, you know what our love means.
He is looking at me write and heard your question and says his name was Henry Spaulding and he lived in Millville, if you know where that is.
After I made some progress and got some love in my soul, Helen brought him to me one time and said:
"Laura, here is a young man who has been very anxious to meet you for some time, and you must not fall in love with him if you can keep from doing so," and she laughed.
Well, I suppose I blinked as mortals used to say, but I did fall in love as you can imagine and have been loving him ever since.
How we all love Helen for her kindness and the great good that she does. You just wait until you come over and you will see the most beautiful girl that you ever saw.
He returns the satisfaction and says that he considers himself very fortunate in having such a cousin, and he means it, for he sees the wonder of the great gift that you have and the loving and high spirits that come to you.
I must say goodnight now and with my love I will stop.
Your loving cousin, Laura

A Soulmate Describes the New Birth
Be true to yourself, as I have told you, and you will soon be in God's Love and favor. Do not let worries or disappointments keep you from seeking His Love and believing that He is waiting to enfold you in His arms of mercy and Love for He is not only waiting but wants you to call on Him.
Do not let the thought that He is afar up in the Heavens cause you to think that He is not always near you anxiously waiting your call. He is not willing that one of His children should perish and, when they go astray, His great Heart of Love yearns for them to return and partake of His bounties and blessings.
You must try with all your heart to realize this truth, for it is a truth, and is the greatest truth taught us by Jesus, who is the greatest of all teachers.
Make your daily life one of prayer and aspirations, and you will see that what I have told you is not only true, but you can make it a part of yourself. You have only to let your desires turn toward God, and He will meet you more than half way, for He never sleeps or closes His ear to the supplications of His children, and those who have sought Him with an earnest and repentant wish and a longing desire of the soul know that He has always responded to their call.
You are now in the way to obtain these blessings, and I pray that you may continue, for you cannot find true happiness in any other way. This is what Jesus meant when he said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life," He knew that there was only one way to obtain the Father's Love, and that is through the New Birth, which is merely the flowing into the soul of man the Love of God to the extent of eradicating all desires and tastes for things which are not in harmony with God's laws and Love.
You must give your thoughts more to this vital consideration of the economy of God's being.
It is not a question of what church you belong to, or what particular faith you may have, or who your preacher may be, or to what duties you owe to the church, or to the ceremony of baptism according to the church's dogmas, but whether you have sought God in spirit and in truth and have received His favor and Love. This is an individual matter, and no man can be saved by the sufferings or progress of another.
Each soul is a complete unit, when joined with its mate, and the spiritual condition of each soul towards God determines what its place and happiness will be in the spirit world. So do not let the thought that it is necessary to believe in a special church dogma or any ceremony, keep you from seeking the New Birth. This is the fundamental principle that operates in the atonement of man with God, and all other doctrines are merely secondary, and need to be believed only as they may lead to a belief in this foundation.
I am writing at the dictation of your grandmother for she knows and I, of course, would not be able to write in this way of my own thoughts and experience. She says that you must try to get in condition so that the Master may write, and that which he shall say will show to mankind the everlasting truths of God's kingdom and laws, that she is a mere tyro [novice] in the knowledge and ability to explain God's truths that Jesus will teach you.
So try to become more spiritual, so that you may learn the wonderful teachings of God's Love and truth that he will give you.
You must stop writing now as you are tired and so am I. So love your own true Helen and pray to God for Love and spiritual enlightenment.

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.
