If God did not have a purpose for Mediumship, then it would not have been created, reading Colossians 1:16,
"For by Him were all things created,
that are in Heaven, and that are in
earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things
were created by Him, and for Him."
Whatever criticism may be directed against Spiritism, it cannot be denied that Spiritism has influenced many people to take a less materialistic view of life.
Immortality has been demonstrated through Mediumship to MILLIONS of intelligent people ever since time began here on earth. The vital force, or essence, which is incarnate in our bodies, is a pure Spiritual Force. As such, it can stretch out and contact other disincarnate Spirit or Spiritual forces whilst itself is still in the flesh. Mediums have affirmed many times that all the psychic phenomena are wholly due to the acts of disembodied entities.
The tentative knowledge thus gained from Mediums has, in turn, led to the conclusion that mental activities are not confined to the physical organism. It has also led to the conclusion that there is a place, after so-called death of the physical body, where the mind continues to function independently of matter.
Yes, Mediumship has demonstrated to man that he is not just a physical being, but that he is a Spirit Being. That this life is but an apprenticeship, or initiation if you like, into a greater and fuller Life that commences with the so-called death of the physical body.
Mediumship has brought comfort to the bereaved of the earth, and has saved many from taking their lives through grief and temporary depression. Yes, Mediumship has enabled Spirits to comfort the sad, encourage the weak, relieve to doubter, and console the bereaved about Life after Death. Mediumship has confirmed those old-world beliefs regarding Spirit intervention and REVELATION by supplanting our hopes and intuitions with palpable proofs. It has taught men not to fear death, but to realize that death is but the open portal to Life Eternal.
And, of course, through Mediumship (although rarely) an entity has been guided into a Higher and healthier Spiritualistic Life in his or her next incarnation upon the earth. Yes, Mediumship has even led some in the body to "seek" that which is Higher, the contact of their Higher Self [their Father] and the Blessed Ones of Light, in the Realms of Light.
Although really good Mediums are few and far between, even they are not knowledgeable of the Highest Realms of Light. Mediums usually reach only the Psychic Realms of those who lived a "good life" while here on earth, but likewise these spirits know not of any thing Higher. No, Mediumship is not undesirable or wrong, but those who possess this "gift" are not developing their full potential, for they lack the knowledge of that full potential and how to develop it.
The fact that it is possible to communicate with those who have ceased to exist on the physical plane, or if you wish, those who have passed out of sight, should be only a "stepping stone" towards a Higher Knowledge of Life Eternal, and the contact of the Blessed Ones of Light in the realms of Light. For truly, the Blessed Ones of Light have the real welfare of ALL HUMANITY in their Hearts.
If you do not realize these things as yet, then maybe you should be meditating upon this question: "If God is infinite in knowledge and wisdom, Am I taking too limited a view of the reality of Mediumship?"
Know now that only through this Higher Knowledge, from the realms of Light, can mankind adopt the proper "set of values" that will eventually outlaw war, poverty, sickness, hatred and fear, etc. no matter in what form these "evils" are currently being made manifest.
HAS MEDIUMSHIP ANY VALUE IN STORAGE?
To begin: The Light of Mediumship was given to those who have it in order to explain to those without that life is Eternal, by revealing as much and insofar as they can go.
A Medium in Storage is one that has Spirit sight and hearing, but keeps it to himself. This type in its next embodiment will find that he will be minus this "gift".
These Storage Type of Mediums can be likened to those in the quotation of Jesus to the Apostles in John 12:24, reading -
"Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but
if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
The meaning which Jesus was trying to convey to his disciples in John 12:24 was that if they received, accepted, and basked in the Light of his truths, this alone would not bear fruit, they would have to mingle with the people and give to others what they knew. And that in this manner of Work, they would produce the same as the grain of corn which gives of itself (its life) to produce more.
And so we say unto you that Mediums can and should be like fine artists of all descriptions. They should be the inspirers of those who desire Mediumship, but should not encourage people to aspire to Mediumship just for the purpose of contacting just any spirit; but the people should try to prepare themselves for contact with their own God-selves and those of the Higher realms of Light.
Jesus says, "Now, more than ever before in the history of the earth, Chosen Ones are needed to spread the Light and Truth before the people, in its true sense. And that only a Chosen One can do this; for it requires purity of body with an inburning Desire to help all people everywhere."
Yes, to those of you who wish to develop your Spiritual possibilities, and to be able to vibrate to the realms of Light, or to have Jesus' pure truths brought to you here, you must not only have that inburning Desire to help people, but it becomes necessary to live upon a purely meatless diet. For a vegetarian way of life, as shown in Daniel 1:12, is necessary for you to be able to absorb more and more Light from your Father, thus raising your vibration.
The eating of flesh attracts the soul to the lower animal way of life by lowering its vibration, thus degrading the Higher Spiritual senses. Besides, THOU SHALT NOT KILL! God did not say Thou Shalt Not Kill Man . . . God said, "Thou Shalt Not Kill."
But you may be thinking, "I am not a Chosen One." And we say, "How do you know that you are not? You may be a Chosen One who has yet to come into that Physical Consciousness of Why you are here."
If you wish to aspire to this Higher Type of Mediumship, then set your ambitions High, and do everything you can to follow the words of Jesus in this Little Book and His other Little Books of Truth and Light.
Mediums are not entirely at fault for their lack of interest in Spiritual Things, as most people go to Mediums merely for messages or advice concerning material affairs. But it is part of a Medium's duty to try to interest those people in Higher Spiritual Knowledge.
There are many types of Mediumship, which we will briefly describe later, but suffice it to say, the Highest Type is naturally that where the Spirit Attendant is of the Light. For from such a "One of the Light" will come the truths of those higher realms of Light of which we all Desire to know; whether we will Desire to put forth the Effort to attain them or not.
The Highest type of Clairaudient Mediumship is not by a voice speaking in or through the ear, but from and through the Light that comes into your head from your God, if you are male, or Goddess, if you are female, and is anchored within your Heart (sub-conscious). This type of Mediumship is strictly Spiritual Mediumship. The origin of everything received this way comes from those in the Spirit Realms of Light, the Blessed Ones, or your Father. The reception of this type of Mediumship is to the head, through your God's Light, which carries the Spirit Voice into your head through the Light, and not a voice through the ear.
Then there is still a Higher type of Mediumship which develops the more you practise the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness. Instead of carrying the voice into the head, your Light carries the thoughts of your God or the thoughts of the Blessed Ones of Light, via your God's Light, into your consciousness. Yes, this type of Mediumship comes as you continue to practise the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness. Yes, as you continue to Spiritualize your Physical Consciousness, you come closer and closer to becoming ONE with your God or Goddess in thought, word, and deed.
Then there is an even Higher type of Spiritual Mediumship which gives a rare demonstration of the truth of life eternal. This Type is brought about by the raising of one's physical consciousness to the point where your spirit sight can see spirit writing in flashes of light on the wall, table, or any place. These are complete words, one word after another until the communication is finished. The reason for the rarity of this Type of Spiritual Mediumship is that both the Spirit Director, Teacher, or Guide, and the Medium must be of the Light (consequently Spiritual) and free from any dangers of effects from the Psychic Realms.
Yes, through the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness, Jesus, or any of the other Blessed Ones of Light, can contact or tune into your Light at any time, and input their thoughts through your Father's Light into your Physical Consciousness. Thus the term - "SPIRITUALIZATION" of the PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
To the majority of the Mediums, who are truly materialistic, satisfied with mere Psychic Realm Mediumship, we want to say, "For lack of Desire to reach higher and higher, you are letting slip out of your grasp, opportunities you will later regret."
We point out these Higher Opportunities, not to discourage you with whatever type of Mediumship you have, but to encourage you to reach higher and higher. We wish to encourage you to explain to others who do not know of any higher form of Mediumship, that they too, if they DESIRE to, and will put forth the needed EFFORT to, can attain this higher type of Spiritual Mediumship by and through the Light of their God or Goddess, if they will but follow the Instructions in this Little Book, or any of the other Little Books, on How To Spiritualize the Physical Consciousness. These words of instruction on How To Spiritualize your Physical Consciousness are the "KEY", the only Key, of How To Attain Spiritual Mediumship by and through the Light of your God.
Know that Jesus' station and progression in his spirit life is such that He is ONE with the individual God or Goddess of each one of us. He is the mediator between our God, as was spoken by Him when he was in the body. He said, and we quote John 14:6 - "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light: No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
Yes, Jesus has shown us the "I AM", the Father, to be the WAY, the TRUTH, and the Light of the Ascension. The truth is that the WAY of Ascension is through the Light of the Father.
Jesus says, "The Light of the Living God will shine bright for every one if they will reach out and know that `God' is not a god of the dead, but a God of the Living. That each God is a Spirit of Love & Light. To those who are truly seeking, I will place these words into the Light of thy God and open the door for thee, that no man can shut. Peace be unto you all."
THE BLESSED ONES OF LIGHT
In the preceding chapters we have referred to the "Blessed Ones of Light ," and in the chapters to follow we will many times allude to the "Blessed Ones" in many diverse ways. So now, let us begin by answering the question, "Who are these Blessed Ones of Light?"
ANSWER: The Blessed Ones of Light are the Gods and Goddesses who dwell in that Land of Eternity which gives eternal Light: Angels some call them. They are the "Peacemakers," bringing Peace into the minds of those who are making any attempt to find their own God or Goddess. They are the Ones who have travelled the same road, perfectly, which is being outlined for you within these Little Books. They are the Ones who have caused their spirit Light to reach a "Brilliance" greater than our physical sun through their Spiritual Unfoldment and Service while in the body, and likewise after, in Spirit. Yes, "They" are the Ones who truly have the real welfare of all humanity in their Hearts.
So remember this always: These are the watch-words which will bring you Light, Light and more Light . . . . .
SPIRITUAL SERVICE
Know now that the Blessed Ones of Light will not draw close to one in physical embodiment who practises deeds of the Realms of Darkness. The Blessed Ones are only interested in the Spiritual welfare of all humanity. These Blessed Ones of Light also know what is improper to communicate, lest you or others be injured by such communication. They will never communicate an untruth, and they will only communicate what is proper and true, what is wise and good - when it should be communicated! The Treasures (Wisdom) of the Light are what the Blessed Ones seek to disclose. What the Blessed Ones are trying to establish in the Earth Realm is the Brotherhood of Man.
The Blessed Ones of Light who have reached this high stage of spiritual development are the Directors and Supervisors of those in spirit who are trodding the same Path today which they travelled in the past. These Blessed Ones are our Elder Brothers and Sisters who have attained that Glorified State, and now it is their DESIRE and Duty to help those in the body, and those spirits in the Lower Realms, to likewise advance (when there is an inclination shown to advance). Yes, when inclination plus Desire & Effort are shown, the greater will be the assistance that is given to you.
The Blessed Ones of Light can help us to clear up our physical activities and our physical consciousness, and thus allow the Light of our God or Goddess to seep through the veil. Then, once we have begun the process of Spiritualizing our Physical Consciousness, the Blessed Ones can help to increase that inflow of Truth and Light if we but put forth a continuous Effort & Desire to justify Their doing so.
Remember: these Blessed Ones are concerned with establishing a firm Spiritual Foundation for you. They can look back through the Akashic Records of your previous embodiments, and see just what your spiritual progress has been. Then they know how fast to bring you along in your development.
Yes, the Blessed Ones on the Invisible Side, seeing your Desires and Efforts, and knowing your previous training, assist you just as the teachers taught you in your earthly physical school days. And Remember this: that it is possible for them to reproduce at any time they desire, for the benefit of humanity, any happening, regardless of when it took place.
These Blessed Ones from the Realms of Light are the Only ones who have "strictly" Spiritual Knowledge to give. Notice that we did not say spirit knowledge. Therefore you must come into the realization that the Spiritualization of YOUR physical consciousness is the process whereby YOU can make contact with these spiritual Blessed Ones who are also the principal personages in the Bible's scriptural records.
If we but look to that Book of History, the Italian Bible (because the Italians put it together), the oldest book of history the world in general knows of, we will find in those records the coming of Blessed Ones into earthly embodiment to give evidence of life eternal. And that when they made manifest their appearance, to commune with the one on the earth who had spiritual sight, the Blessed One appeared as a "Shining Light" and, more often than not, was thought to be God by the one in the earth body with the spiritual sight.
Likewise, you can now begin to understand how the American Indian's idea of a "Great White Spirit" could have come about. And back down the ages as well, people believed these Brilliant Spirit Beings to be Gods; instead of Advanced Spirits (ie: the Greeks).
Now, from the Realms of Light and through the Blessed Ones of Light who are the unseen voices of the Bible, They say - "There is no such thing as denominationalism. All things are accomplished by and through that Light Substance of God which is PURE."
Now we must ever remember to keep in mind that the truth received from these Blessed Ones of Light may not be consistent with our human earthly up-bringing and understand as this physical-material world breeds emotionalism far too easily, and the power of Satan tends to close our minds to any new or unorthodox idea. Hence a Medium, or any one else for that matter who has not been prepared by proper instruction to understand the Truth, judges from what he has heard or read, making no allowances, thereby allowing his opinions to become subject to the control of the facts found in his earthly brain.
So if you will take the time to overcome the physical sight and hearing limitations imposed upon you by this world, and learn how to see and hear in spirit, ye shall not only see the ones who dwell in the realms close around the Strata of earth - but through your continuous Desire, Effort, and Understanding, ye shall become ONE with your Father or Mother, and the Blessed Ones of Light in the Realms of Light.
Then, if the knowledge you receive from these invisible realms is given and used for the enlightenment of those who have ears to hear and hear not, and eyes to see and see not, there will be no limit to your attainment of God's Wisdom. SERVICE is the passport to the Realization of the Knowledge and Wisdom from the Realms of Light.
And know now that as your Desire for the Light increases, whether through sorrow, grief, or loss (which often causes a more intense longing for the Light) the essence of that Light will become so alive through the help of the Blessed Ones, because it is charged with the True Light of Spiritual Knowledge, that as it is released into your physical body, that essence of Light will become not only a Spiritual help to you, but also a physical help.
However, right now all that matters is for you to know and understand that you can become one of these Blessed Ones of Light, if you will only release your thoughts of the earth world and learn HOW TO seek the Truth and the Light. No one can do the work for you. It is free choice. Each one of you must make that decision for yourself.
Jesus says, "Blessed Ones of earth, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Reach high into these spiritual realms of light and make contact with us; the Blessed Ones of Light. Yes, reach out with an earnest desire in your heart to bring back to the earth realm all the spiritual truths that you can attain for the welfare of humanity. The way to the Realms of Light is through the "process" called in this Little Book, the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness: this is the Truth."
And now know that as you come into the True Realization of the Light through the knowledge of Life after Death, which you will receive from the Blessed Ones of Light, you shall shudder at the experiences which you had in life before coming into the awareness of both.
Jesus says, "Let not your past continue to disturb you - but take consideration for the day only; we care not what you have done, only what you shall do now. So stop sinning, and sin no more."
OVERSEERS
In all the spirit realms of darkness there are "Overseers" - the Blessed Ones of Light. Reading Genesis 28:12, ". . . and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven: and behold the Angels of God ascending and descending on it."
Usually these Blessed Ones travel through the realms as shadows with cloaks covering their glorious Garments of Radiating White Light so as not to hurt the eyes or bodies of the spirits in those realms; nor do they wish to frighten or spread fear. For just as a spirit of darkness turns away from the Light, so would those spirits of darkness turn away from the Blessed Ones' Light if shown in their full splendour. Now remember this: if ye enter into a realm of darkness, including this earthly realm, fail not to entertain strangers, for by doing so ye shall meet some of the Blessed Ones of Light who walk and work among the darkness, seeking and helping those spirits who are willing and ready to raise themselves up out of that darkness. Reading Hebrews 13:2, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares."
And as the cloaked Blessed Ones "Oversee" all the realms of darkness, even the Bottomless Pit, they permit some spirits to contact Mediums and other beings as well. However, if those spirits become too harmful, dangerous, or detrimental to that person's spiritual development, or because of, or not because of Karma that person should not be treated as such, then that spirit of darkness is "whisked away" into another realm (usually a lower realm) from whence they cannot bother that person. There those meddlesome spirits remain until they have learnt their lesson of Love and Kindness. Then they are permitted to rise back up to that realm from which they fell, again.
Now reading Jesus' quotation in Revelation 2:26-28, "And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations (realms of darkness): and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star."
And reading Acts 20:28, "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flesh, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you OVERSEERS, to feed the church of God . . ." And reading Luke 1:35, "For the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee."
Yes, the Blessed Ones of Light are the true Overseers of this Universe of Darkness in which we live and move and have our being. They are the Mysterious Beings, the Angels of Heaven, some of whom have passed through this physical universe to likewise purge themselves of that "evil" within, to learn to choose good over evil so that they could rise higher and higher into that Light of a Thousand and ONE name.
So, hide not your Heavenly Wisdom that you receive; hide it not under a bushel, but let your knowledge of the Light so shine before All Humanity. For as we are taught by the Blessed Ones of Light, so must we teach others.
This Wisdom we have received has come down to us from a High Realm, a Realm of Light. And just as each Realm of Light receives instruction from a realm higher that itself, all are the "Overseers" of those realms below themselves. We are our brothers keepers. Yes, just as the Blessed Ones of Light are teachers of these realms of darkness, so are They taught by the Higher Realms of Light ad infinitum.
Now reading Matthew 24:45-47, "Who then is faithful and wise servant [of the Light], whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods." And reading Matthew 25:21, "His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, so I will make thee ruler over many things: enter into the joy [Light} of thy Lord."
Each one of us reaches the Supreme Degree only through the EFFORTS we make towards self-improvement. Free Choice is ours. We can become the Angels (Gods & Goddesses) who are charged to Oversee the realms below which we raise ourselves to, or we can continue to wallow in the darkness of earthly pleasures and pains. The Choice is yours to make.
