BIBLICAL SPIRITISM AND SPIRITUALISM

Spirit World contact runs like a "golden thread", spanning thousands of years throughout the entire History Book of the Hebrews and on through the New Testament. It runs from Adam and Eve speaking with the Gods (Elohim) in Genesis to the resurrection of John's spirit while still in the body as recorded in the Book of Revelation.

Yes, the Bible contains so many accounts of spirit manifestation that an entire eleven volume encyclopedia could be dedicated to this study. But suffice it to say, we will touch only briefly on some of these physical and spiritual phenomena in the hopes that ye shall pick up the Italian Bible, which most people prefer to call the "Holy Bible," and a good Concordance, and a Dictionary, and SEEK these things for yourself!

Yes, we can give you the tools and show you the way, but only you can do the work for yourself. If you will but open the Bible and seek these things for yourself, ye shall find the Truth, and the Truth will set you free from the shackles of those man-made doctrines which have been inspired by the Spirits of Darkness.

If you will but open a Concordance and seek, ye shall find that those theological teachings of today are not the same as, and indeed not even convergent with the "path" pointed out by Jesus. Yes, and even greater things than these shall ye find.

Since even the most skeptical "Bible Believer" will acknowledge God as appearing and speaking to men and women, and since "God is a spirit" - John 4:24, they must also consider Clairaudience and Clairvoyance.

While spiritists do think and speak of Jesus as having been a great spirit Medium, He was not such a Medium as they suppose. Spiritists understand very little of the nature of the Highest Order of Mediumship: the Order After Melchizedek. For while Jesus was a Medium of the very highest order of divine beings, His Mediumship was always conscious. Spiritual Mediumship, not spirit mediumship, is what Jesus taught the Disciples to seek after, and then to teach others; the voice of their own Father which art in the Light (Heaven), and likewise to teach of the Blessed Ones who also reside in that Divine Kingdom of Light.

Jesus taught his Disciples how, that through the Spiritualization of their Physical Consciousness, they could rise into the Realms of Light to both see and hear God's Wisdom. He taught them that in time, through striving to make their Hearts pure, they could rise up into that Light of Angelic Ministry to hear and even to see as He did. They were to work to become as He was if they were to be where He would be. Yes, Jesus truly is the "Way-Shower."

By these Teachings of Jesus' the Disciples were always to practise Spiritual Mediumship, and not spirit mediumship. They were taught that Spiritual Mediumship involved contact with their Father or Mother, and the Blessed Ones of Light through whom they would receive God's Wisdom (Knowledge of the Light - by those of the Light - through their Father's Light). Whereas they were taught that Spirit Mediumship involves contact with less than perfect, or even bad spirits of Darkness who know not the Light, nor the Wisdom of God, Spirits who have only earth earthly messages.

Therefore seek after attaining Spiritual Mediumship by Spiritualizing your Physical Consciousness. Fulfil the Supreme Purpose of your Father which art in Heaven, the finding of the "Lost Sheep" and the bringing of them back into the Fold of Light. For such Mediumship is Blessed and is the only Mediumship worthy of endeavour. So remember this always: Spiritual Mediumship comes to us as the natural result of our Spiritual Growth. The greater our Desire to attain Spiritual Knowledge and the more ardent our Effort to attain Spiritual Knowledge, the greater our Illumination (Light) becomes through the process of Spiritualizing our Physical Consciousness.

The whole "Spiritualistic Movement" (call it New Age if you wish) must recognize these Truths and seek to cultivate this Higher Mediumship, for they need such Mediumship for true ILLUMINATION.

The following is a partial list of some of the records of Spiritual Mediumship which exists in the Italian Bible. If we were to list all instances, then essentially we would be re-writing the entire Bible. Yes, the Bible is composed of the recorded History of Spiritism and Spiritualism as encountered by the Hebrew people down through the centuries until the time of Jesus and the Apostles. Here the History appears to have ended, but those who have become "awakened" know that communication continues forever. To deny any of this is just pure materialism at work.

Now, looking for signs of Clairvoyance and Clairaudience in the Bible, we reveal these few passages to you, for these are the promises of Jesus: John 11:40; John 3:3; Matthew 5:8; Matthew 13:16-17; John 16:13. And some additional passages in the New Testament are: Luke 2:26; Luke 10:23-24; John 1:33; John 1:48-51; John 4:16-29; John 8:56; John 14:19; Matthew 17:3-5 and Mark 9:7; Luke 11:31; John 8:47; Luke 1:29; Acts 10:13; Acts 27:23; Acts 7:55-56; Revelation 1:10; Acts 9:3-9; John 12:28 . . . . . and so on.

Now then, don't just read over or pass these passages by, set down this Little Book and pick-up your Bible and Concordance and see these Things for yourself. Also look up the word "seest" in your Concordance.

BELIEVE NOT - KNOW THE TRUTH

Yes, we could go on and on listing reference after reference. Look up the word "Dreams," and the word "Visions," and the word "Healing." There are physical manifestations, materializations, Ministering of Angels, appearances of Angels, lying spirits, independent spirit visions, spirit obsession and expulsion, etc. etc. etc.

And that we may go on and on, let us look to the Hebrew Scriptures for passages containing Clairaudience and Clairvoyance: 1 Samuel 9:9-20; 2 Samuel 15:27 and 24:11; 2 Kings 17:13; 1 Chronicles 9:22 and 21:9 and 25:5 and 26:28 and 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29 and 12:15 and 16:7 and 16:10 and 19:2 and 29:25 and 29:30 and 33:18 and 33:19 and 35:15; Job 4:12-16 and 13:1 and 42:4; Psalms 10:17; Proverbs 20:12; Isaiah 29:10 and 30:10 and 50:5; Jeremiah 6:10; Amos 7:12; Micah 3:7; Zachariah 1:9 and 1:13 and 2:2 and 5:5-10 . . . and on and on it goes. TAKE A LOOK!

Wherefore is it that, seeing, you cannot understand? Has the power of Satan (Darkness), working through those Churches made by hands, closed your mind? Or should the question be, "Why have you allowed them to close your mind?" How could the blood and death of Jesus on the cross save you, especially since Jesus didn't die?

The following passages show other related Spirit and Spiritual phenomena: Levitation: 1 Kings 18:12; 2 Kings 6:6; Ezekiel 3:14 and 8:3; Matthew 14:25; Mark 6:49; Acts 8:39-40; 2 Corinthians 12:2&4; Materialization and Dematerialization: Luke 24:13-16 and 24:36; John 21:4; Mark 16:14; Luke 24:31; Mark 16:19; Spirit Writing: 1 Chronicles 28:29; 2 Chronicles 21:12; Daniel 5:5; Speaking in Tongues: Mark 16:17; Acts 2:3-4 and 10:46 and 19:6; 1 Corinthians 13:1 and 14:2 and 14:27; Trance, Vision and Revelations: Numbers 24:4 and 24:16; Acts 10:10 and 11:5 and 22:17; Matthew 17:9; Luke 1:22 and 24:23; Acts 2:17; 2 Corinthians 12:1; Prophecy: Matthew 15:7; Romans 12:6; Spirit Control: Luke 2:27-29; and for Physical Manifestation also see Acts 4:31. And the list goes on and on. Seek what ever type of Spirit or Spiritual Manifestation you wish, and ye shall find a record of it in the Bible.

Now some will argue, "But this is because He was Jesus; or, only God can do such things," or, "But they were Prophets," etc. etc. etc., and we say unto these people, "Only You Can Convince Yourself!"

But Jesus says unto YOU, "If you but have faith as a grain of mustardseed, and BELIEVE, thou shalt see greater things than these. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth in me, these things that I have done, he shall also do; and greater things than these shall he see and do."

Woe unto the Mediums who have followed after their familiar spirits, for they have seen nothing of Heaven. Submit yourselves now, to the Light (God), resist those devilish spirits and they will flee from you. Draw nigh unto the Light and the Light will draw nigh unto you.

Many false prophets (Mediums) have arisen, and they have deceived MANY. And likewise many false Messiahs (Priests) have deceived MANY. Yes, many false Messiahs and many false prophets have shown great signs and wonders and have deceived MANY, but they cannot deceive the Very Elect.

We wrestle not against Flesh & Blood, but against the Spirits of Darkness. Therefore dear brothers and sisters, "believe not" every Spirit, but try the Spirits whether they be of the Light.

Open your "eye single" and turn from Darkness to the Light and ye shall know the Truth and ye shall inherit the Kingdom of your God or Goddess. Jesus says in Matthew 10:27, "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in the Light: and what ye hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops." Woe unto those foolish prophets who have followed their own spirits of darkness, for they have seen nothing yet!

1 Corinthians 14:1,3,31,32,39 - reading, "Follow after charity, and DESIRE Spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. For ye may prophesy one by one, that ALL may learn and ALL may be comforted. And the Spirits of the Prophets are subject to the Prophets. Wherefore, brethren, covet to Prophesy."

And reading Numbers 12:6, ". . . if there be a Prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream."

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them." - Proverbs 20:12

TO THE CRITICS

In elementary logic, to seek something one must first know what it is that they seek. Until now you have only known Spiritism and have sought it. Now this Little Book brings you the Truth about Spiritualism. Will you seek it? Will you become a true Critic of this Great Work which has been going on all around you? Or will you remain a vinyl padded seat critic of emotionalism? Free Choice is always yours.

At any time in History, the age old maxim, "Man Know Thyself - Man Control Thyself," should be prevalent. We should be continually striving for Truth while opposing our physical sensations; knocking the bottom out of some of our most cherished beliefs. We must be strong enough to at least consider that maybe, just maybe, we have been misled. What do you think of the Church's doctrine that only God can communicate Truth? For if this is true, then why learn the Truth if we cannot help others? Would that not be selfish?

Today because of the multitude of man's iniquity and great hatred, the time has come when the majority view the Prophet as a "fool," and the Spiritual man as "mad." Whom do you say that I am?

Simply because you say that you believe or do not believe the facts presented in this Little Book, does not make them right or wrong. For to judge Spiritualism by what you believe is only proof positive of your inexperience, and destroys all the value of your opinion. A serious critic perseveres with patience, desire, and effort to find the Truth of the matter.

Sit in the seat of Critical judgement; put forth the effort to prove the instructions and facts within this Little Book are wrong . . . for in doing so ye shall find the Truth, and the Truth will set you Free. Do not accept what has been written here without putting forth a serious Desire & Effort to Spiritualize your Physical consciousness. Even some of the so-called "Great Saints" believed all their lives that the Light within was the Truth, but they never gained the Experiences of the Light for they would not put forth the Effort to attain them. (Doubt?) Go to your nearest theological library and seek this fact for yourself; yes, seek and ye shall find.

MEDIUMS: Do not turn to your Spirit Guides for verification of these facts presented, for they know not these Truths or they would not be living earth-bound through you. Discover your inexperience as relating to true Spiritualism by seeking out these Truths for yourself, for you will not only advance yourself, but you may even be advancing your Spirit Guides (if they so Desire to and Choose to advance).

Yes, serious Critics are few and far between. However, serious Critics are not unlike others who seek to excel in whatever field of endeavour they are involved in.

Strive for the Truth - oppose sensationalism! Go ahead, knock the bottom out of some of your most cherished beliefs. Yes, be strong enough to admit maybe, just maybe, you have been misled. Fear not, it has happened to the best. Seek to attain the Understanding of this Great Knowledge of the Light for in doing so ye shall be led into true Realization.

Do not let the Spirits of Darkness wield the powerful sword of Satan to implant thought vibrations into your ego that say, "I do not believe this and therefore it is impossible." Do not let their thought vibrations say to you, "I am not comfortable with the use or context of these words." Do not let their one-sidedness echo in your mind, "These words do not match my preconceived ideas or labels, therefore I do not agree." Remember that no matter what form denial comes in, it cannot make the Truth any less than it is!

And so remember this always: It is only through "trial & results" that we come to experience the real spiritual Truths: the trial involving the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness, and the results received therefrom.

A truly wise man will always thoroughly investigate something new, before discarding it, and even then he is like a "pack rat" storing it away, just in case there is a need, or use, or an experience which brings it to Light.

IN THE BEGINNING . . .

These things do we speak, not in the words which man's knowledge teacheth, but in the wisdom which the Spirit of Truth teacheth, comparing Spiritual Things with Spiritual Things. The natural man receiveth not these Things for they are as foolishness unto him, and neither can he know them because they can only be Spiritually discerned. And so it is written, "God is a spirit" (John 4:24): "the Father of Spirits" (Hebrews 12:9); and "God is Light" (1 John 1:5); "the Father of Lights" (James 1:17). Yes, in the Beginning, God created man in His own image . . . A SPIRIT OF LIGHT!

Now there was a day when the Suns of God came to present themselves before the Great Spiritual Sun, and Beelzebub came also among them. And a great war broke out in Heaven between Beelzebub, his followers, and the other Angels. And the Gods on High said, "Behold; while they have become as one of us, they know not evil from good." And the Gods cast Beelzebub and his followers out of Heaven (the Light) and into the Darkness such that their place would be found no more among the Suns of God.

Immediately the cries came out of that Darkness from those who recognized that they had allowed themselves to be deceived and misled by Beelzebub and the others.

However, the Gods on High being Pure Love, created a physical Universe in that Darkness and provided lesser lights to give periodic illumination to a Planet within that Universe. And the planet the Gods created was called the planet "Earth." Yes, the Earth was created for a prison in which to keep Beelzebub and his followers until they should learn, of their own God-given Free Choice, to choose a Life of Good in the Light over a life of evil in that Darkness. (Another small insignificant note is that the word "evil" spelled backwards is "Live").

And the Elohim formed a prison house from the dust of the ground, and encased it in a coat of skin. And then the Elohim breathed into the nostrils the Light of those Fallen Angels (Spirits) who had been the first to realize their error. And to those bodies which They animated with the Light of those Fallen Spirits, They caused a deep sleep to come over their Spiritual Consciousness that the Fallen Angels should know Death, and not Life Eternal. Thus came about the first human beings on earth, vagabonds, knowing life and death until such a time as they, of their own Free Choice, would turn and choose Good by overcoming the evil which they had created within themselves. And so it is written, "The first man Adam is made a living soul, and the last man Adam is made a quickening Spirit."

And it came to pass as man began to multiply upon the earth, bringing forth more spirits from out of the darkness, that the Elohim looked down upon the earth, and behold, it was still corrupt. The wickedness of the fallen spirits had not changed; every imaginable thought of evil was continually within their Hearts, "For they wrestled not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in dark places." (Ephesians 6:12)

And it came to pass that the Suns of God came down from the Realms of Light, and entered into the children of the daughters of these wicked men. Thus the Elohim seeded the wickedness that was great in the earth with the Teachers of Righteousness. But the wickedness of man was too great in the earth, and many of the Blessed Ones became lost in the earthly desires and attractions.

Now then, after many years the Elohim caused a great catastrophe to befall mankind, sending large numbers of these wicked and lost Spirits back into the Darkness to recapitulate their "beliefs" with the NEW Teachings which the Blessed Ones had brought.

But Noah and the other Blessed Ones who had not lost sight of the Purpose of their coming were saved. These were the first grains of wheat sown amongst the tares. And Noah and the other Blessed Ones spent hundreds of years incarnating back on earth, during which time they prepared bodies for other Blessed Ones, and Chosen Ones of the Light to enter into. It was in this way that the Elohim would help the Fallen Angels regain their heritage.

And the number of the Chosen Ones multiplied until they stabilized at one hundred and forty-four thousand, twelve thousand Chosen Ones for each of the twelve types (Zodiac) of incarnate man. Yes, from the beginning the Great Work has gone on; with History repeating itself from time to time as the devils of this world cause mankind to fall asleep as to their Spiritual Progression, and the Gods must re-awaken them.

"But I would not have you ignorant, Brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." (1 Thessolians 4:13-14).

Verily, Verily, we say unto you, The hour is coming, and NOW IS the time that the Spirit of Truth is upon us to teach the recovering of Spiritual Sight to the blind, to awaken them that sleep and who are ready for Life Everlasting in the Light. To open their "EYE SINGLE" and turn them from their darkness without, to their Light within.

FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN

This Bible quotation in Matthew 22:14 is generally misunderstood. Most people think that it applies to all people, whereas it only applies to those people in the physical body who have attained the Light of Spirituality through Desire and Effort.

Yes, this statement in Matthew applies only to those people who have attracted to themselves, through their Effort and Desire to know of Life Eternal, the Blessed Ones of Light from the Realms of Light. For to such a one the Blessed Ones give the Truths of Life before, now, and after so-called death. Then in return, that one is expected to give forth to humanity the words of Light and Truth, to help guide all of humanity along the Pathway of Light and into Life Eternal in the Light (Heaven).

When this happens, it mean that the Blessed Ones of Light, in the Spirit Realms of Light, have sent a CALL to that one in the Physical Body to come into the awareness and realization of the Purpose for which he or she came into embodiment this time. That Purpose is to enlighten the people of the earth world regarding Life Eternal and the Spirit Realms of Light and Darkness and also the Bottomless Pit.

Up to this point, that one in the physical body who has attained this stage of progress is merely "called" by the Blessed Ones to "seed" the Truths. However, it is always the Free Choice of him or her to choose. If his Desire to know these Truths was just to satisfy his own curiosity of consciousness and not to spread the truths to humanity, then he comes under the category of "called" but not "chosen" by reason of his own Free Choice which is accorded to all in physical embodiment.

So then, as the Book of History states, "Many are called but few are chosen", meaning that those ones who have come into embodiment for this specific Purpose have somehow or for some reason, failed to live up to the Physical Spiritual Consciousness, or the "at-one-ment" with the Desire of their Spirit Mind before coming into the body. Thus while they have been "called," they have "chosen" not to partake in the Great Work. Yes, they are classed amongst those that are "Called but not Chosen." Yes, Called by the Blessed Ones while he or she was in the spirit body, but found wanting after coming into the earth body. Hence that person is abandoned by the attending Blessed Ones after They see that there is no chance for that one in the body to carry out his or her Spiritual Ideal during this embodiment.

Therefore, a Chosen One is one who has reached that same stage of unfoldment and knows and acknowledges the assistance brought and given to him by the Blessed Ones of Light from the Realms of Light. He is also the one who gives the truths to the people word for word as received without fear or favour of anyone regardless of their position, rank and/or station in life. Then that one becomes a Chosen One adopted by the Blessed Ones of Light to serve Them and They in turn serve him by reason of their At-One-Ment of PURPOSE.

Know now that such a one who serves in the capacity of a Chosen One never has to return into physical embodiment, by compulsion, unless he so chooses to do so. And that if and when that is done, it is always through a Universal Desire to further help humanity. Then, in cases of that kind, he is attended by the Blessed Ones of Light from the invisible side of life. Yes, his or her start in the WORK comes early; however, in some cases that one is impeded by the channel through which he comes (mother and family) and in some cases he ponders by the wayside and once again he does not accomplish his intended goal. If this is the case, such a one keeps incarnating back here on earth, time and time again, until he fulfils his original Purpose in coming.

So remember, Blessed Ones of Light do not have to return into earthly embodiment unless They want to. Unless there is a great demand from the earth people for "Spiritual Knowledge," not spirit knowledge, but Spiritual Knowledge, THEY will not come.

So know now that the Chosen Ones who come into earth bodies to help humanity and who have earned the right to be Chosen Ones through previous SERVICE, when they come willingly to serve, must, as all others, SEEK the LIGHT before they can carry out their plans. As Jesus says, "This is the first thing which ye must do: Spiritualize your physical consciousness: SEEK ye first the kingdom of your Father. For only then will the plans and advice, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and all his righteousness be added unto you with the help of the Blessed Ones of Light. All this is planned before a Chosen One enters into an earthly body.

"Yes, when one has the true understanding there comes to that one, through the Light Ray of his Father, the Blessed Ones who Desire to help. From this the Chosen One is understood by the listeners of his talks and the readers of his books; as all words he speaks and writes go out through the Light which is supplied by the Angels of Light who attend him. Yes, these words of Light sink deep into the Physical Spiritual Consciousness of those who hear and/or read them."

It is no different now than it was in Biblical times. The Blessed Ones are, and the blessed one Jesus still is, and forever will be the attendants and assistants to those in the earth bodies who will Spiritualize their physical consciousness enough to come into at least partial at-one-ment with their own God or Goddess. Yes, in time, as you practise the Spiritualization of Your Physical Consciousness, the Blessed Ones will bring into your Physical (Spiritually Awakened) Consciousness the PURPOSE for which you came into this embodiment. Then, They will help you to carry out that Purpose. In this way you become the one who was "Called and Chosen."

Also know that this same help and assistance is given to anyone coming into embodiment from the World of Spirit who is prompted to assist humanity in the way of its Spirit mind, as you so Desired before being breathed into this physical body.

Know that the higher the Realms from which these Chosen Ones come, the greater the perfection of their expression will be, but only if their Physical Consciousness does not lead them into the many avenues that could make their embodiment a failure.

One of the most outstanding instances regarding a Chosen One is Saul's (or Paul's) experience on the road to Damascus. If you are not familiar with this, then read Acts Chapter 9: quoting Jesus' words to Ananias concerning Saul or Paul. Notice he is being called by both names; to Ananias was said, Acts 9:15 - "But Jesus said unto him, Go thy way: for Paul is a Chosen Vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, the kings, and the children of Israel."

Yes, all down the ages there were Chosen Ones who attempted to carry the Banner of Light to the people of earth. Many of these Chosen Ones are recorded in that Book of History which includes Moses, Jeremiah, Daniel, etc.

Now reading Daniel 10:5-12, "Then said He unto me, fear not, Daniel, for from the first day thou didst set thy heart [Desire] to understand and to chasten [purify] thyself before THY God, thy words were heard and I AM come for thy works." Then we turn to the prophet Jeremiah, and read in Jeremiah 1:4-5, "Then the word of the Lord came unto me saying; before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a Prophet [Chosen One of Light], unto the nations."

Now let us turn to the Book of History and see if Jesus was the Chosen One of those from the realms of Light: who gave him their power (coupled with his own) by supplying him with the Light and Assistance to do the things he did.

Jesus was no more Lord or God than those of the Light who attended him from the Land of Eternity, and he never intended to convey the idea that he was God incarnate! He was, and still is, a servant of the Light and attained his state of advanced progress in things Spiritual by reason of his Desire & Effort. His teachings, when properly understood, tried to lead all peoples into the understanding that they, as well as he, were and are Gods; and he said so much so in the quotation of John 10:34 which reads, "Is it not written in your law [Psalms 82:6], I said Ye are Gods?" Yes, Jesus said that we are ALL Gods and Goddesses.

And so it is down through all the Spirit Realms. We are the Chosen Ones of some Spirit even if it is only to the extent that the Spirit wants to be with us or wants to be of help to us with our earthly interests and welfare.

But why not Spiritualize your physical consciousness and reach the highest spirits of Light? Remember, some spirits are not friendly and have no intention of being helpful. That is the reason that Jesus so stresses the necessity of attaining Knowledge of the Spirit Worlds here and now, and in the manner he suggests, by Spiritualizing your Physical Consciousness, through and by the process described in that chapter of this Little Book entitled "How To Spiritualize Your Physical Consciousness".
