Spirit - Spiritism - Spiritual - Spiritualism And All Other Isms or Denominations

It is not our purpose here to advance or condemn any Ism, Religion, or Denomination nor to establish a new one. Our purpose is to give Jesus' factful Truths and the "KEY" for salvation to every one who is seeking, it could not be otherwise. Jesus' teachings recognize each person as a God or Goddess, as quoted in the Bible, John 10:34, "Jesus answered them (the Jews), is it not written in your law, I said ye are Gods? and that by reason of us being Gods and Goddesses, we are endowed with Free Choice. So whatever Ism or Denomination you belong to now is right where you belong with your present understanding. Yes, there you will remain until you truly see and hear these Truths of Love and Light. But even then you still have your Free Choice to open your minds to these Truths, or remain as a suckling babe feeding on only the milk of your religion.

To freshen our memory, let us look up the definition of the word "Ism" when used in connection with religion. "Ism" - a distinctive doctrine, theory, system, or practice of the first part of a word to which it is added.

The Isms with which the so-called Christian Religions are affiliated seem general; as far as accepting the theory of a Universal God is concerned. However, we will not accept this theory as it is not factful, is unprovable, strictly theoretical and, according to the quotation in the Bible, this Universal God is unseeable, until Jesus' words in this same Bible counsel otherwise, quoting in the Beatitudes, Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in Heart for they shall see God." Which, when properly understood and interpreted, opens up not a new meaning for many of His quotations, but the proper interpretation thereof. Therefore we do not, for lack of facts, accept this Universal God theory as the Christians propose, but neither do we deny it, for truly there is ONE SPIRIT of which everything in this Universe and the Next is a part thereof. But we know from Jesus' sayings in the Bible that the "revelation" of an Individual God should have been given long ago.

Now, as all Isms, Denominations, or Religions are based upon one word, "Spiritual," we will have to use that word for factful deductions concerning these various Religions, Denominations, and Isms.

Spirit is just any Spirit, whereas Spiritual is the Brightest part of the Spirit of your God from whence all Spirituality springs forth. Therefore, any Ism, Denomination, or Religion that does not teach the Individual God of each, as taught by Jesus as being the source of all things Spiritual, is not teaching the Pure Teachings of Jesus which are of Spiritual origin. Yes, while they are teaching the "attributes" of a Spiritual life, they are not teaching the Godhead of each person.

Jesus' Teachings in this Little Book, as in all His Little Books, gives the "KEY" of how to become At-One with that Eternal Individualized God Part of each. Then when one accomplishes this, that one becomes heir, yea joint heir to all the Universe; each one of us being a Universe within a Universe. The "Key" to success is in the continual Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness.

We know that there must be a Spirit to attain Spiritual things. So; those Isms, Denominations, and Religions that do not teach of the Spirit and only confine themselves to those Spiritual attributes such as peace, harmony, mercy, faith, justice, charity, and so forth, those forms of Religion die at the grave for they deny the Spirit. And for having so confined themselves to the physical expressions of those Spiritual attributes, they will find themselves strangers to the Source of it all; Strangers in a Strange Land. However, they and all others can see God if they will only come to understand Jesus' True description of the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. (The word "Holy" was added to Spirit much later, and even Spirit was changed to Ghost).

In Truth, NO RELIGION can exclude or separate the Spirit side of life from their teachings of physical embodiment for it becomes like the "chicken and the egg" story. For the Bible tells us in Jesus' own words, which we quote here from John 3:13 - "AND NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN: EVEN THE SON OF MAN." Yes, the Spirit World is the Land of Eternity from whence we came, and to which we shall eventually return - EVERYONE!

Come now into the Realization of something greater than just enjoying yourself in that body. Come into the understanding that your body is the Temple of your living God (or Goddess if you are female). Know that you are His Spirit which is inside that body, and not the Eternal Part which art in Heaven. Know that you are the auxiliary Spirit Body of your Father which art in the Light connected by a "ray" of His Light. Know that you are that auxiliary Spirit Body which is generally referred to as the Soul. Yes, come into the Understanding that a combination of these "THREE" make up the Trinity - a Universe within itself. The Father is the Eternal Part of you, you are his Spirit in the Soul, and the physical body is the Son.

Now, concerning the Denomination known as "Spiritualism," they openly go beyond the borderline of death, and therefore they are teaching, in their way, Jesus' truths of Life Eternal. However, while this would entitle them to the name of "Spiritism," their use of the name Spiritualism is a misnomer until they can contact and teach the source of spirituality as other than being the Universal God. And this name that they use, "Spiritualism," will continue to be a misnomer until they teach all the truths of Jesus.

Jesus was, and is, a real spiritualist and teaches true spiritualism as coming from the real spiritual source: the Eternal Individualized God part of each. Yes, true spiritualism comes from your Father which art in the Light. Your Father is that spiritual spirit Being, your God, not an unseeable or unhearable God but one who is constantly attached to you by His ray of Light. The "process" of Spiritualizing your physical consciousness is the "KEY" of How To become At-One with the Light of your Father while still in the body.

"Spiritists" could and can prove these words of Jesus and sometime maybe they will, but they are where they should be right now in their development, and that time of proof will most probably be in a future embodiment. For they, like many of the other denominations, are lost in the attributes of spirituality including Spirit phenomena and message work. Now this is acceptable, especially the message work which brings consolation and peace of mind to those who receive true messages from their loved ones, but with all this attention to so-called attributes, it leaves them little time to prove Jesus' words herein and become At-One with their own God. However, if they will continuously practise the spiritualization of their physical consciousness as outlined in this Little Book, they can be said to be True Spiritualists but until then, they are Spiritists.

We see advertised and hear ministers of denominations speak of Spiritualism as being a "Religion of the Devil," but they have nothing to offer as Proof and doubtless this "hype" is used just to draw attendance to their churches made by hands. However, let us consider their statement concerning Spiritists. No other denomination, to our knowledge, openly admits, teaches, and can contact the Spirit World. We have never heard what percentage of Spiritists there are, but would estimate that denomination as about 1-2 percent of all. And as Spirits became devils (or get their start in an earthly body) and then become devil Spirits, could it be possible that some belonged to those other denominations on earth when they became these Devil Spirits? And now still being devils in the Spirit World, would they not have liked to return to earth through (or to) one with spirit sight in his old denomination? But that devil spirit finding none with sight or believing in such things, hunts himself a Medium in the so-called Spiritualistic Movement, and naturally being "devilish" at heart, he has to resort to the lowest type of Medium, through whom he hopes to express or perform his devilish Desires.

This is just one instance of what can happen; but to you who only listens to those things in connection with Spiritists work - Do you ever investigate what a great help a good conscientious Medium is and can be? Do you ever consider what a wonderful help they are to those here in the body as their loved ones step into the Spirit World at death? Let us ask the question - Are Ministers, Priests, Rabbis, etc. all Angels? Are they true to their cause outside of this so-called spiritualistic movement?

REMEMBER: It is not our intent to direct you to contact a Medium, or Mediums, but to acquaint you with Jesus' Teachings of HOW you can open your own dormant spiritual sight & hearing and find the kingdom of your God (or Goddess) WITHIN. SEEK THE LIGHT WITHIN!

Jesus was the greatest spiritualistic Medium who has ever come into earthly embodiment to guide the people from their Darkness into their God's marvellous Light. He is as much interested in the development of your Spiritual Progress now, as He ever was. Please notice we said "Spiritual Progress" which, when attained, opens up to you the Spiritual Realms of Light (by-passing that Psychic Realm of Spirits who are not of the Light).

It can all be yours if you are willing to put forth the EFFORT to attain AT-ONE-MENT with the Light of your God while you are here in the Physical Body.

THE PROPHETS

The Italian Bible contains within its pages many descriptions of Prophets throughout the ages. It likewise states that some are false! Jesus says, "Pure Prophecy comes only from the Chosen Ones who have the Light." And we recall a few prophets of olden times who forgot the Light and sought after just the gold, which means nothing to a True Prophet.

The meaning of a True Prophet is One in physical embodiment who is worthy of the Light and who has the Spiritual Eye opened. Then the purity and extent of that one's prophecy depends upon whether his "desire" is to reach the high Spiritual Realms of Light and contact the Blessed Ones of Light with an EARNEST DESIRE to bring back to earth, for the help of all humanity, the spiritual truths he or she can attain. For, to such a One as this, there is no limit to the revelations they shall receive. Yes, as long as their goal is to help all of humanity, then their prophecy will be Pure and Dependable.

But on the other hand, if your desire is only to contact any spirit, from any realm just for the purpose of getting Spirit return for material gain, then that is out of the category of Prophecy and at best is not very reliable. And this you should remember: Jesus forsook not the Light when MUCH was offered.

Jesus says, "All true Prophets keep close to the Light, for true prophecy comes only through the Light." This means that the Blessed Ones of Light in spirit bring the truths to the Prophets, or take him or her to the place where attainable. For when a Prophet strays from the Light or loses contact with the Spirits of Light, that one's prophecies become clouded and undependable.

Let us look at the quotation in the Bible, Luke 16:16, reading, "The law and the prophets were until John; since that time the Kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth into it." This means that since the coming of Jesus who teaches the Kingdom of God, or the Father God of each, there is no further need for Prophets, but for every man and woman to press their EFFORTS into action to attain contact with and to become ONE with their own God or Goddess. For when this is attained, there is no need for any man or Prophet to teach you. Yes, your God, the Father of yourself, contains all Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding of things Eternal. Yes, your Father is just waiting for you to seek and become ONE with Him through the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness.

The people of earth have been given about two thousand years to apply the Teachings of Jesus, but how could they when the real meanings have been kept from them and not truly interpreted?

Your lacking in INTENSE DESIRE to attain the Light & Truth from the Higher Realms of Light, through your God's Light, is the same way of getting nowhere beyond your physical desires. You must have a BURNING DESIRE for Spiritual Knowledge, and a willingness to set aside anything and everything that would interfere with such an ambition. This is the Pathway that leads to your God or Goddess, and the Association with Those Blessed Ones of Light in the Realms of Light.

REMEMBER: THE SPIRIT NEVER SLEEPS

It is not the intention of Jesus to give in this Little Book, or any of his other Little Books, the full description of the things possible for you to attain. For if He did it would be just hearsay to you, the same as reading a fictional novel which you read during your spare time and then cast aside to forget about.

Jesus' words in this Little Book and all of His Little Books are for one purpose only, and that is to lead you into the "Process" of HOW TO apply his words of truth and knowledge concerning the Light. Yes, to lead you into the process of Spiritualizing your Physical Consciousness for this is the FIRST thing you must do to bring the first minor experience of At-One-Ment with the Light of your God. It's an experience you could never have had, even by reading a full description of it. This experience is just as different by comparison, as sitting in an audience listening to a great artist is to being that performing artist. Which do you think derives the greatest satisfaction, the listener or the artist? Why the artist of course! Why? Because he WORKED HARD for the accomplishment of his goal, and no one but he knows the glorious exhilaration of such an experience. Yes, there comes to him the true realization of his efforts which he never would have experienced had he just read about it or listened to some other artist perform the same role.

Yes, in every walk of life it is the same. We must aspire to attain for our own satisfaction and in all instances, even more so to excel. In every field of endeavour it is the same. It is the achievement of our DESIRES that brings satisfaction, and that is just what Jesus wants of us. He points the "WAY" and gives the "KEY" to instruction on how to attain our FIRST conscious spiritual experience which will give us that sublime feeling never before experienced. Then each rung of the Spiritual ladder that we climb towards our God or Goddess will bring to us even greater and newer experiences of Joy, Peace, and Happiness. Yes, each rung will bring us a Spiritual Understanding which we never could have experienced or enjoyed by the mere reading of the same experiences as described by another.

And so, again we see the Wisdom of our Elder Brother Jesus, as trying to lead humanity into spiritual unfoldment, yes to higher spiritual attainments, by helping us direct our efforts into spiritual ambitions with the same energy and formula used by us in our worldly desire to reach those earthly pinnacles of fame. To earth earthly things which the human part of us enjoys, we give credit to the physical, whereas in our spiritual unfoldment, all credit is rightfully given to our God or Goddess.

Now as you progress, you may think in your earthly mind that you are devoting too much time to your spiritual unfoldment (for such a devotion is required to attain the experiences) and that you are losing to a competitor that highly desirable top ranking office you had hoped to attain in your earthly affairs. But we tell you now, Worry Not. For when you get on the other side of the veil in the Spirit World, you will find that that top ranking office was merely an earthly treasure, and the one who beat you to the job is now in the spirit world also. Also if you investigate this lost earthly treasure from the spirit side of life after death, you will find that while you are free by reason of the spiritual knowledge of Life after Death, he is bound in Spirit to that earthly position.

Many cannot, and many more refuse to understand the binding of a spirit to earthly activities, especially honourable and honest pursuits. However, there is no Spirit Law that causes or requires this binding, for it is merely one's own physical attachment to those earthly things which the spirit was a part of when in the body, which binds itself. For without the body, that spirit finds itself where its HEART is, with its "earthly desires," and not having been aware of or trained to do anything besides its earthly duties, it will be there in the day time, and at the old home come night. Yes, there is where that spirit will find itself until it adjusts to Spirit Life and seeks new interests.

REMEMBER: The Spirit Never Sleeps and this gives you more of an opportunity to progress Spiritually, or to bind yourself closer and closer to activities of the earth until your earthly desires become so strong that reimbodiment takes place. So harken to Jesus' words of Truth and Light. You have been given a warning. Prepare yourself spiritually to at least some degree before you take that inevitable step into the spirit world: that step which we all must take sometime.

Jesus says, "The Way of Peace I leave with you. Peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, but I give you the True Way of Peace. Be not afraid; nor let your Heart be troubled. For in the earthy world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. For as I overcame those things which bind a man to the earth realm, so can you if you follow in the WAY which I have shown. Ye who believe in the Light, so believe that the Spiritualization of your Physical Consciousness is the WAY. For in the World of Spirit there are many realms of spiritual Being: if it were not so, I would have told you.

"So now, Spiritualize your physical consciousness and prepare a place for yourself in the Light. Then at the transition I will come and receive you into your mansion of Light. Yea, follow the WAY which I have shown, walk the same Path of Light which I have walked, and where I AM - there shall ye be also. Whither I have gone ye know, and now the WAY ye know, and the way is through the Spiritualization of Your Physical Consciousness. Peace. Peace. Peace."

IMMORTALITY

The Book of History, or the Italian Bible as revealed by the Blessed Ones of Light, is the oldest book of history that the world in general knows of. In this Bible are the records of those Blessed Ones of Light who came into earth bodies to give the lost souls evidence of Eternal Life in the Light. Yes, within that book we call the "Holy" Bible are many evidences of Life Eternal which should be given to the people. However, those who are not Chosen are the ones teaching in those churches made by hands. They are the ones who "skip" over that which is not pleasant to hear or not pleasant to apply to our earthly lives.

But the humble ones, those who DO NOT hold within their possession a religuious diploma with a man-made seal, are the ones most apt to receive the Light of Spiritual Understanding that comes to a Chosen One. Yes, these are the ones who are apt to receive the Truth, just as the truth came to those dear ones recorded in the Book of History who were the Chosen Ones in those days and times. Few know of that Light which Jesus saw in the ones whom He called into his fold. And very few of those he called could understand his teachings. Jesus says, "Even those who were very close to me."

Yes, out of the thousands and thousands and thousands of people who listened to his teachings - only 90 disciples "sort of" understood the Message, and only twelve followed Him religiously (if we may again use that term here). And out of the twelve, only ONE could actually REALIZE THE MESSAGE; that one was John. Yes, out of the thousands and thousands and thousands of people who heard the Message, only ONE came unto the True Realization of what Jesus was teaching. And this becomes very evident when we read the Gospels, the Books of John 1,2,3 and Revelation.

And what was that Message? The Message is that Life is Eternal! Yes, the Book of Jewish History (the Bible) is full of facts and fables of Immortality from the opening of Genesis to the closing of Revelation. Yes, so numerous are the Teachings of Immortality that we need not mention the various references. SEEK for yourself and ye shall find this Truth.

Now reading John 3:14-21, and remembering that Jesus said, "I AM the WAY, the Truth, and the Light."

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Sun of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in this should not perish, but have Eternal Light. That whosoever believeth in the Light should not perish, but shall have such everlasting Light. He that believeth not in the Light is condemned already. And this is the condemnation, that the Light is come unto men in the Spirit World, but those men loved Darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither come to the Light, lest his deeds should be made manifest unto him. But he that doeth Truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they were WORKS of the Light."

In olden Biblical times, as the battle was raging, two men sat intensely interested in the outcome. One was Saul, the friend and foe of David; the identity of the other is not made known. These two men knew how they had persecuted the Mediums of those having, what was called at that time, Familiar Spirits. However, now in desperation these two decided to go and talk with one who could see and understood Immortality. So they went their way in deep thought to the humble abode of that one known to have a Familiar Spirit saying as they walked, "the battles are raging and we are doomed."

They had heard of many peculiar things done by this one who had this Familiar Spirit. Now let us refer to this meeting by reading Chapter 28, paragraphs 7-16 in the first book of Samuel. Jesus asks, "Who was that Familiar Spirit?" And He answers, "A humble one of the Light had chosen this one [Medium] to work through: it was not that Medium's Familiar Spirit."

Jesus also tells us that "Much praise was given to Joan of Arc, also a Chosen One, who led the armies to victory. She saw the Light, and followed the Light of the Blessed One who ministered unto her."

Remember, here like in all other things, what Jesus speaks of is the Highest form of Spirits, those Spirits from the Realms of Light. The old time name of "familiar" is not fitting to Their wonderful service. More suitable names are Blessed Ones, Ministering Angels, Teachers, Directors, or Guides of the Light. For They really are the Doorkeepers to the mind of any one in the physical body whose Spiritual Eye has been opened. But also remember this, there are likewise Familiar Spirits of Darkness who work through the minds of those who permit themselves in the physical body to drop down and express and exercise activities of Darkness. These Familiar Spirits are not the kind Jesus speaks of, for the Blessed Ones of Light will not draw close to one in physical embodiment who practises deeds of the Realms of Darkness.

Up to this point we have described Familiar Spirits as those who speak into the ear of the one in the physical body who has at all times conscious control of his mentality. But now, what about the Trance State or condition where the one in the body withdraws its spirit from the body and the familiar spirit steps in and uses the organs of that body? While this is one of the greatest demonstrations of the proof of Immortality by the exchange of souls, it is yet the most dangerous and is not encouraged by any one who really knows.

When a soul leaves a body by any method other than by natural falling asleep, it is accomplished by invisible anaesthetics used by the doorkeeper of the Medium's mind just as physical anaesthetics are administered in a variety of ways to draw the soul from the body for an earthly operation.

Is this dangerous? YES! Anything that takes away your consciousness and robs you of your personality is dangerous. Now the danger could be minimized if all familiar spirits were trustworthy and of the Light, but many, many, many are not! We have never as yet met one Medium who does not think their guides, teachers, or familiar spirits are anything but the essence of perfection and trustworthy. Yet, we have sat with many an entranced Medium whose entrancing guide would warn us not to let its Medium know how many different spirits spoke through him or her, all of which pertained to things of the spirits in the psychic and lower realms close to earth, totally lacking Spirituality.

There are many different types of Trance, none of which is conducive to health or improves your intellectual status. The only good which could be accomplished would be by the entrancement by a Blessed One of Light to give truths which would be beneficial to all humanity, and that is rarely done except where all other avenues have become closed.

The best and quickest way to make contact with the Blessed Ones of Light is to purify your body by abstaining from alcohol, drugs, animal flesh, etc. Then through Desire and Effort, reach for the Light of your own God, and then through that Light to the Blessed Ones of Light in the Realms of Light. Establish yourself consciously and positively on a firm footing. Then you will become a worth-while "receiving station," and you will be able to hear and to see what is brought to you. And in return, you will be able to give forth inspirational talks. For it is in this manner that you will build up your own knowledge, power, and Garment of Light. Continue to Spiritualize your physical consciousness and you will not be negative, nervous, and unhealthy as you will with all forms of Trance, as Trance eventually brings these conditions to most all who practice it, with rare exceptions.

Your Father and the Blessed Ones from the Realms of Light are by Their progress, ONE with all Fathers and Mothers. These are the only dependable sources of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding. Seek Them. But seek Them through conscious Effort, and not through the unconscious effort of Trance. For as the way in which the Blessed Ones of Light came to Jesus, so comes Jesus and the Blessed Ones of Light to us, through the Spiritualization of our Physical Consciousness.

Question: Do all people when passing into the Realm of Spirit recognize or see their God, and if so, Why isn't that knowledge preached by or through the spiritual Ministers and Mediums? To this Jesus answers and says,

"Whether this Truth is to be given through the Mediums, or any earthly denomination, they - many of them, have not reached the place in their own development that they can understand and realize the truth of the question that has just been asked. The avenues that are there to bring these truths of eternal life TO THOSE IN THE Houses of Clay are altogether too few, for many will go just so far in their Light and then no further. It is seen by the Ones of Light over here in the Land of Light that there will have to be many, many, many more who will be willing, willing to go into a Higher Light, and as you know, many will not go.

"If a mother knows not of her Light, how is she to teach her children of the Light? And when that mother passes into the Land of Spirit, these children know not where to turn to get guidance along their pathway of life. It is then that they turn to the same source which their mother did, to try and seek this knowledge with the same results.

"So when the ministers and mediums know not of the Light of their God or Goddess, how can they give to those on earth that whereof they have not the knowledge themselves? And now, as those ones in the Book of History who just wanted to touch the hem of the garment knew they would be helped, so shall all those who seek after assistance. In those ages past, that was the Truth, and this is the WORD I give."

Friends of earth, We beseech you to listen to the voice of your God! Silently that voice speaks to you. No one can hear it but you. It may speak at night while you sleep, or in the day while you are awake, whether at home or away, for wherever you go, your God is with you always. For as you are in the Temple of your Living God, that still small voice is always speaking to you through the Light.

You cannot take with you, through the gateway of death, any stocks or bonds, no castles, no cars, no gold or diamonds, you take with you nothing but the Spiritual Knowledge that you have attained by your own DESIRES & EFFORTS while attending this School of Life. So prepare yourself in the Light of your God while you are now here. Then truly as you come to the end of your roadway of life and enter into the world of Eternal Life, you will hear the still small voice of your God speaking these words unto you, "WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT OF THE LIGHT."

Friends of earth, be ye thankful that now you have been given the opportunity to become joyously acquainted with the wonderful truths of Everlasting Life. Remember that a good shepherd giveth his lifetime to his sheep as he leadeth them into the green pastures by the still waters. Give these words to all who will receive them. We give these words to you for those ones in the earthly bodies that they may be fed with this Spiritual Food and the Living Waters of Light.

May ye Choose to become a Disciple of the Light, and then a Prophet of the Light, for the good of all humanity, Love ye one another. Know that the Gateway of Death leads into Eternal Life, yes eternal life in the Light if you so choose.

Spiritual Knowledge is a Business. Its success is far more important than any earthly endeavour. DO NOT wait until the eleventh hour before you attempt to make its acquaintance!
