Received by H.R.
Cuenca, Ecuador.
I would like to continue my message of yesterday.

“The key to our rescue work is the creation
of a condition of trust. Usually, it is a poor choice for a
bright spirit to approach one of those gloomy spirits, because
they will “encapsulate" themselves immediately, to
the point of refusing to lend an ear to whatever the spirit
of good will would tell them. How should we proceed, then?”

With these words I ended my message. How should
we proceed, then?
The first step, as you have already guessed, is that spirits who
on earth were friendly with those condemned poor people in hell,
approach them and try to renew this friendship and trust. Well,
you do know an instance where exactly that happened - my own case.
I have always had an excellent relationship with Andrew. He was,
he is, older than I, and in some ways I saw in him a father figure.
Very skillfully he knew how to break my initial resistance to his
presence, a resistance due to the fact, among other things, that
I did not want anybody whom I cared for to see me in my situation
of misfortune and despair. But once the ice was broken and I understood
that his intention was serious and full of love, that spark of hope
was born within me. And it happened because of the trust that I
held in him, that I was able to activate my desire to move on.
Well, I can see what you are thinking: that all spirits in desperate
situations would logically hold a strong desire to improve their
situation. But this is not so easy as you may believe it to be.
You are right, this desire indeed does exist in their souls, a feeble
and weak desire inhabiting a gaunt soul. But even when the spirits
thus confined do not recognize consciously that it was their own
fault that has taken them into such a situation, there is another
desire growing unconsciously within them — the craving for
self-punishment — a much stronger desire than the one that
would allow them to get started towards progress. It is a vicious
circle, and you can be sure that, in the case of the spirits in
the deepest hells, they would never be able to break this steel
chain tying them to their cold hovels if it were not for the help
of other, higher developed spirits who are able to restore their
self-esteem and transform empty feelings of guilt into true penance.
Because it is not their constant wailing over the "injustice"
they are suffering (in the opinion of many of them) and their self-commiseration
that will help them to progress. It is their recognition of their
own guilt, their preparedness to assume the consequences, and also
— more important than anything else — their desire for
reconciliation with God. This is what is called penance; this is
what is called remorse; this is exactly what the Father wants: that
all His misguided children return to Him and celebrate with Him
at the tables of paradise.
Yes, Andrew skillfully managed to break my resistance. I was lucky
that I had such a friend as he.
Sometimes we find relatives, such as parents and siblings, who
come to aid those poor souls in hell. But there is another "institution"
dedicated with even greater success to the task of rescue.
Yes, you received it well. I am speaking of soulmates, of those
individualized halves from one single soul. They have such strong
feelings of attraction to each other that they very rarely encounter
difficulties in establishing a relationship of trust in order to
help their counterparts to progress.
This function, namely that of helping their mates to get started
in the progress, specifically in the lower spheres of the spirit
world, is perhaps the most important and decisive task for the institution
of soulmates.
The love between soulmates has been described as the "icing
on the cake," or in other words, an addition to make what is
perfect (the relationship based on Divine Love) even "more
perfect." But I tell you that this function is practical, necessary
and extremely beneficial — although it is not indispensable.
[H.R.: Is this the reason why soulmates generally do
not incarnate at the same time or in the same family or region?
I mean, is this a provision to make sure that at least one of the
counterparts may obtain the necessary development for being able
to help his or her mate in the case of necessity?]
This is not a rule as far as I would know, but indeed, so it happens
in the vast majority of cases.
[H.R.: Does this also mean that it is impossible that
both soulmates could live in the darkest bottom of the hells? Because
in this hypothetical case it would be virtually impossible for them
to help each other.]
I have never seen such a case. Frankly, I do not know if this is
possible or not. Don't forget that there are other mechanisms to
quicken the desire of the condemned spirits for getting started
and attaining reconciliation with God. But I dare to say that there
is a probability of nearly one hundred percent that such an extreme
case — that both souls live in an abysmal level of darkness
— would not result.
The intervention of soulmates in the rescue work for “lost”
souls in the hells is explicitly
described in the Padgett messages. It is true that in those
messages this essential function of soulmate love has not been highlighted.
With my message I hope that I may have contributed to an ampler
understanding of this institution.
I would have liked to talk also about the creative powers of evil
spirits — uncontrolled and unconscious powers — but I
fear that you are running out of strength. I will leave the treatment
of this subject for another day.
I will say good-bye now with my best wishes for
your spiritual well-being.
Your brother in Christ,
Judas of Kerioth
