Received by D.L.
My Dearest Jim, Joan, Laura and Michael,
Yes, through the great love and friendship I share with my brother
in Christ, David, I am blessed to be permitted and enabled to send
you all a message from my home to yours. I realize it has been some
time since I passed from this earth, but surely you know and have
felt my presence with all of you on many different occasions. While
you cannot visit my spirit home, I am never unable to visit your
earthly home and to see how you all are, and to provide whatever
counsel and help I might be able to share or impress upon each of
you during my visits.
Let me tell you first a little bit about what has occurred with
me since leaving you all. As you know, Jim, I used to have the blessing
of being able to see my own Mom and Dad each night before drifting
off to sleep myself. Well, need I really say who was here to greet
me when I passed over? But on earth where I could only see their
faces wishing me a good night, when I arrived in the spirit world,
not only were they the first to greet me, but they also appeared
before me in their full spirit form. How beautiful they were and
how loving and subsequently helpful to me!
When one arrives in the spirit world, there is what you might call
a central meeting place for new spirits. The surroundings look very
much like a beautiful place on earth, and this location is the place
where all former relatives and friends greet the new spirit entrant.
It takes a little bit of time for one to acclimate not only to one's
surroundings, but also to discovering and accepting that one is
no longer mortal but now a spirit. And the task of all these greeters
is to make the new spirit at ease and to orient him or her to what
is ahead in the way of living in the spirit world.
My mother and father were wonderful and they alone brought me much
joy and happiness upon our union in spirit. For different lengths
of time, new spirits remain with all these greeters and well-wishers,
and all enjoy a most happy reunion. But, eventually, one is escorted
to a place or location where one's soul is qualified to stay. My
sphere was indeed a beautiful one from the beginning. It was also
a place of soulful review, if I may put it that way. We have all
done at least a few things on earth, either in thought or in deed,
that we must atone for. This atonement occurs when one goes through
periods of regret and remorse. At the same time, if one also desires
more of the Love of God, when this is fervently asked for and received,
these sins of our earthly life start to fall by the wayside and
feelings of happiness become their replacements, along with the
earlier memory of wrongdoing being no longer dwelled upon or remembered.
You see, true forgiveness occurs with ultimate forgetfulness.
But let me move on to say that my first residence was in the Third
Sphere where I lived and communed with the souls of those very much
like myself. My happiness there was wonderful and very fulfilling.
But, as you should know, any sphere below the Celestial Heavens
is still not heaven where the soul is actually transformed into
the very Substance of the Father's Divine Love, and where one becomes
literally immortal and a divine angel of God.
And, so, I continued to pray for more of God’s Divine Love
and eventually moved into the Fifth Sphere. It was during my stay
there when David asked our brother, Jesus, through the mediumship
of Amy Bolton, where I then resided in the spirit world. The members
and friends there at that annual meeting seemed very pleased to
hear from him that my progress to the Fifth Sphere was that relatively
quick and elevated.
Well, I could continue to describe my trip “up the ladder,”
but suffice to say I did make it into the Celestial Heavens. Your
grandmother and grandfather are there as well, Jim, and presently
reside in the First Celestial Sphere. I am presently in the Second
Celestial Sphere and have progressed up to some of the higher planes
in this Sphere.
And, so, let me move on, now that you know where I live and have
some idea of how very happy and fulfilled are those who seek and
receive God’s Love can be. On earth, I was hardly very attractive
in appearance. Now, you would hardly recognize the handsome and
love-lit fellow who is your dad and granddad.
As you have said to Dave in your email to him, Jim, you indeed
have often felt my presence while you, Joan, Laura and Michael have
been together, and particularly when you personally have had need
of my companionship, advice and assistance. But let it be understood
very clearly, I love you all beyond the telling, not only from watching
you all grow and develop now for quite a few years, but also because
my love has increased immeasurably beyond that for you, my son,
for Joan, my daughter-in-law, and for my grandchildren, Laura and
Michael. While I indeed love you all with a father’s and grandfather’s
love, my love for all of you now is beyond mortal description in
its intensity, fullness, glory and fulfillment.
Since David has been so kind as to allow me to speak to you through
him, I do have a simple, unitary message for all of you. No matter
what your earthly lives may be at any given point of time---be they
happy or troubled ones---the assistance of God is as close as your
own breath when it is He and His Love you seek. Your period on earth
is a probationary one---an important developmental one---but a very
short one in terms of the eternity ahead for us all. And I want
you to make the most of this remaining probationary period where
you are all concerned.
Continue to love God, continue to love each other, and know that
both God and I are as close as a mere thought away from your having
our presence in your lives. And learn to give of your love to others,
for, in so doing, reflexive love will come into your own souls as
well in greater and greater abundance. Does it not feel great to
be loved? Well, don’t forget how great you can also feel giving
your love to others.
Laura, Michael, in terms of the school of life’s earthly probation,
you will get an A+ if you just continue to ask for God’s Love
to enter your souls and you give this Love out to others. Do this
for as long as you both shall live on this earth, and you will be
able to live where I live, and to know of happiness now beyond your
wildest dreams.
Jim and Joan, you are doing a wonderful job as both parents and
as human beings doing their very best to love and be loved. And
when things occur that might cause a measure of pain or grief, as
this has happened to us all, know that your souls have the loving
capacity to still move onward and upward. God is with you all, and
with an open, listening Ear. And be assured of this: God’s
Love and my own are available to you always. Be of good cheer; we
are always here!
I shall sign off now with great thanks for the angel-to-be who
has lent me his heart and soul so that I could give you, Jim, you
Joan, you Lauren, you Michael, not only my love for you today, but
also with the added assurance that I do and will continue to love
you daily and throughout all eternity.
Your loving father and granddad,
Bill
