My dear brother, today I come in order to tell you a little more
about conditions prevailing in the fifth sphere of the spirit world.
We have already made a long journey together through several spheres,
and you already have some notion of the spheres which you got from
Ann Rollins, Jesus, and John's messages, etc.
My main interest has been the description of the development in
the diverse stages, and not so much the description of the environment,
because that is something that is impossible to achieve. Only in
the earth planes can you use comparison to convey an appropriate
image, but by the second sphere, that would be much more difficult,
and now, in the fifth sphere, that is absolutely impossible.
I have told you how spirits from the fourth sphere get rid of all
their earthly bonds. Only then are they mature spirits, true inhabitants
of the spirit world; they are only then 100% spiritual beings. Earth,
for these spirits, is of no interest anymore, except in as much
as there are other incarnated spirits who need their help.
Ann Rollins, in her writings, said that the spheres of the spirit
world can be categorized according to the kind of development they
offer. There are spheres which foster the development of the soul
through purification of natural love, as the second, the fourth,
and the sixth spheres. There are other spheres, which encourage
the development in Divine Love, as the third, the fifth, and the
seventh spheres.
Now, in the fifth sphere, we are in one of those soul spheres,
as they are also called, which offer great opportunities for obtaining
the Love of God, and where "natural" spirits don't spend
much time. We will analyze this in a little more in detail.
Natural spirits have already achieved almost everything. The only
thing that they still lack is the absolute purity of their natural
souls. They have to eliminate the last traces of sin from their
souls. Error continues to exist because they still cling to false
convictions, to their beliefs, but, as I already mentioned once,
those are harmless beliefs. The kind of truth they possess is really
a kind of truth that is in harmony with the laws under which they
develop, but it is not in harmony with the Laws of Divinity, with
the Law of Divine Love.
This last stage of purification, in general, doesn't take much
time, and very soon they may leave the fifth sphere and enter the
sixth, the great goal of all their spiritual life, the entrance
into paradise. Why should they stay in an inferior place, given
that they have the possibility of living where their greatest desire
is to live?
We know that Divine Love achieves the purification of natural love
in the soul. Hence, the spirits along the Divine path of the fifth
sphere, who have obtained a considerable amount of Divine Love in
order to arrive there, already have a highly purified soul, too.
They don't need much time either to reach their definitive purification.
And many of them, in fact, hurry to progress into the sixth sphere,
and almost all return very soon to the fifth. What has happened?
You remember once, when you still were living in Europe, that one
of your friends informed you that she was going to get a divorce.
She was college teacher, and was married to a bricklayer. At the
beginning, there was no problem in this relationship, both understood
each other very well, but in the course of the years, the situation
worsened definitively. She summarized it in this way: "I am
really fed up, the only topic of conversation with him is Mickey
Mouse!" She enjoyed the opera, and he didn't have any interest
in that. He enjoyed soccer games on Sundays, but this bothered her.
And so things were throughout all fields of interest. The importance
of sexuality had disappeared, there was nothing new in this relationship,
and in theory only basic topics of common interest were left. But
in fact, they did not exist. I don't want to discuss if this marriage
was based on love or not, but rather I want to take advantage of
this example to explain to you that spirits on the Divine path no
longer find common interests with spirits of the sixth sphere.
During their development through the spirit world, the Divine spirits,
if one is allowed to call them such, as they are not still truly
Divine, try to convince the natural spirits of the superiority of
their path toward the Celestial Heavens. Success is rare, but they
try anyway. In the sixth sphere, however, where natural spirits
know that they have achieved the maximum that they can achieve,
and where they live in incredible happiness, there is not even the
inclination to listen to them, in general. The scientific and philosophical
topics which are developed there, are of little interest for Divine
spirits, although they do possess enough knowledge to be able to
follow these discussions, but to them they lack importance. And
the topic of Divine spirits, that is to say, the development of
the soul in the Love of God, is an absurdity for their mates.
Well, as I have said, after a very short time and after many disappointments,
the Divine spirits prefer to return to the fifth sphere, where they
try to obtain more Divine Love, in order to be able to enter directly
the seventh sphere.
The "mentality", if I may call it so, between natural
spirits and Divine spirits of the fifth sphere is already quite
different. As you know, the obtaining of Divine Love also entails
a superior role that the mind of the soul plays in comparison with
the material mind, with its seat in the spirit body. This is a process
that does not occur in natural spirits.
You have already read that the criterion for the entrance into
the seventh sphere is the disappearance of the material mind and
the absolute ascendancy of the soul's mind. I won't try to explain
this now, as you would not understand it anyway, but I tell you
that one needs a lot of God's Love, of His Substance, in one's soul
to achieve this goal. And this is exactly what spirits on the Divine
path in the fifth sphere seek to obtain. And besides that development,
as you may imagine, they continue working for humanity's benefit.
I think I have written enough on the fifth sphere. It is a fascinating
topic. But you have to experience it in order to understand it.
Now I will leave you. I wish you a very productive day, and as
you already know, when you should need me, just call me. I will
be here at once.
With all my love, I am your brother in Christ,
Judas,
a spirit from the Celestial Heavens
