My dear brother H___,
I am glad that this time you have decided to receive
my message through dictation. It is good practice to change the mode of
reception whenever this is possible, as you will gain so much more confidence and
accuracy. Currently it is very easy for us to enter into contact, provided that
you find time and a quiet place.
I want to continue writing about the spheres of the spirit world, and with
today's message we arrive at the sixth sphere. It will be a difficult chapter to explain, because even for us, the nature of the sixth sphere
still presents a series of questions which we cannot answer. I already see
that you have guessed what I am referring to. But we will speak of that later.
Firstly I intend to explain the condition of the inhabitants of the sixth
sphere.
As you already know, when spirits of the fifth sphere are able to purify
their souls completely of sin, they have the opportunity to advance and to
enter the sixth sphere. The great majority does so, only some of the Divine
Love spirits prefer to stay in the fifth, because they feel that this
advance or progress would only be an apparent progress. Many of these
spirits however venture ahead, more out of curiosity in order to learn of the
paradise that their "natural" mates so much yearn for, but they return
disillusioned after a short time.
The sixth sphere is a purely intellectual area, and when I say
intellectual, I refer to the fact that in spite of the great spirituality
of the place, the zeal of its inhabitants goes much more for increasing
their knowledge, while they live a life in absolute harmony with God's laws
of spirituality. It is a place where science has reached its most
spectacular results compared to all the spiritual spheres, and where the intelligence of
its inhabitants is supreme, and where absolute fraternity exists, such as
people dream of on earth.
Religion plays an important role, but the mere fact that there are many
diverse religions in this zone, demonstrates that its inhabitants are not
yet in possession of absolute truth. You have already read messages where this
situation is described, indicating that spirits coming from diverse
cultures live in separate communities, happy with each other, but that there is
very little contact with spirits outside their respective societies. Inside
these communities there are subgroups, based on special interests. It is a
paradise of immense happiness, where some kind of semi-truth
reigns, and where the only possible progress is the accumulation of
intellectual knowledge. In the universe of God there is so much we may know, so that we
will never reach absolute knowledge throughout all eternity. But as for the
soul, in this case a natural and totally purified soul, progress no longer
exists beyond what has already been achieved.
And herein lies the great problem. We don't know what will happen with these
spirits. They cannot remain without development through all eternity. You
already understand this problem. This contradicts the Law of Change. And they
also fully realize that.
Well, in order to continue, if I tell you about the great inventions and
scientific discoveries, I don't want to suggest that life in the sixth sphere
consists only of such studies, no, there are great social events, amusements,
all of which provides them with great happiness, their class of happiness.
Paradise, yes, the sixth sphere is the paradise which the Hebrews dreamt of and
continue dreaming of, and it is the paradise that Christian churches teach of, in
general, and also spiritualists.
The spirits of the sixth sphere no longer keep up much contact with
mortals. Messages from them are not very common. You know that Mr. Padgett
received some, but the reason was the curiosity these spirits felt when they
saw Mr. Padgett surrounded of another class of spirits, namely of Celestials.
Those of the sixth sphere, however, do continue helping lower spirits
along their way, and many are dedicated to the work of teachers and
professors in the lower spheres.
Good, I cannot tell you much more. I would love to describe to you the
atmosphere that reigns there but it is impossible.
Yes, it happens, of course, that spirits of the sixth sphere decide to
follow the Celestial pathway, mainly when they already possess some of
Divine Love, which has lain inactive in their souls throughout all their
development, and suddenly awakes and arouses longings in them for something
more when they no longer feel filled with this paralyzing
satisfaction. This happens at times when we talk to them and tell them of
our world. But, as I told you, in most cases we only meet deaf ears. It is
also the true that when they want to change their destination, they have to
return to a lower sphere where they may find better conditions for the
development of their souls in Divine Love. This can be the third sphere,
sometimes it is even the fifth, it depends on the amount of Love they
already possess.
With that I finish my discussion of the spiritual spheres. Next time we
will speak of the seventh sphere, which is not yet situated in the
Celestial Heavens, but which you may consider as the antechamber.
My dear brother, I like the portrait you drew of Andrew. Yes, that was his
appearance. He was a rather short man, somewhat fat, well, not so much fat
as stout, and by that I mean he had a very muscular body and tremendous physical strength. His
hands were huge, callous and firm, weather-beaten from long years of hard
work as a fisherman. He didn't speak much, and he had a rather introverted
character, unlike his brother Peter. But he had a heart of gold, which he
still has now, even more precious.
Andrew works a lot with mortals. And I owe him a lot, yes, in fact I owe him
everything. Throughout all the time of my progress towards the Celestial
Heavens, he accompanied me and helped tirelessly. We still visit each other
frequently, although we don't live in the same place.
It is time to say goodbye. It is thundering, so you'd better disconnect your
computer. I am happy that your gallery of portraits is taking form already.
Very soon I will project another image of one of my old companions into
your mind, and you will be able to try your talent as an artist once again.
May God bless you always,
Your brother in Christ,
Judas.
