I am here, Joseph.
There will be many purposes achieved through your mediumship over
the course of the years. There are spirits who wish to relate their
experiences, and some of them, yes, are the great artists and writers
- at least, those who are in harmony with our purposes. You will
understand that not all these gifted individuals think or perceive
the way we do. So, only those who are willing to contribute to our
cause will be permitted to write through you. These include Ludwig
van Beethoven, Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and
Johann Sebastian Bach. All four of them have accepted the divine
pathway, so they will be permitted to write you informational messages
about their lives.
As you will understand, in regard to the four mentioned composers,
genius and time have both made them seem like gods, out of reach.
Your channeling will make them completely accessible, and they will
relate their lives in terms of their experiences and struggles.
I will say that all four have been humble as to their musical gift
- that is, they acknowledge that it came from a higher source than
themselves. And it is because of this humility that they have been
able to progress.
Artistic talent, of course, does come from God, but gifted people
always have the temptation of using their talent in a negative way,
that is, to feel superior or separate. Now, the insights of a creative
genius do often set that person apart in terms of the actual perception.
However, that person is also a mortal, and as such is just as much
subject to God's laws controlling the mortal life as anyone else.
And so, it has often happened that a composer of great, uplifting
music, can be arrogant or selfish in his or her personal life.
Now, humility is humility, wherever it is found. And so, the great
composer, who is also humble, is able to place more accurately and
truly, his or her gift. And this, I might add, has the additional
advantage of causing less pain and alienation. For the actual music's
purpose will be the same as the composer's purpose in life - to
love and honor humanity and God. This happens, however, relatively
rarely.
And you will not be surprised to learn that a great composer's
sins and errors have to be accounted for, just like every other
spirit. But in this case, there is a consolation, and that is, that
the music has remained behind to gladden the hearts of future generations
of mortals.
As you will understand, if a Divine Love or Celestial spirit possesses
an unusual musical gift, there is no worry about money or support,
for all will support that gift. Actually, all Celestial spirits
have musical talent - it is deeply embedded in the human soul, and
when activated by the New Birth, this gift flowers. However, there
are some spirits who arrive in the spirit world having already activated
a God-given, great musical gift. This gift remains in place through
all the vicissitudes of compensation. But when that spirit comes
into harmony, he or she is then free to develop that gift, all to
the glory of God.
