I am here, Solomon of the Old Testament.
Well, I was visiting the earth plane and happened to see the two
last spirits visit you. I thought that I would do so also.
I know Paul and
John and converse with them sometimes, but do not have as much
of the Divine Love as do they. Wisdom which I was said to have had
in a pre-eminent degree, is not the equal of Love in elevating a
spirit in the Father's Kingdom; and they are possessed of more of
this Love than am I. Yet I have great hope that someday I will get
this great soul filling Love to a degree that will enable me to
live with them and the others of the followers of the Master - I
mean his disciples.
I became a follower of the Master many years ago, and know that
he is the only Way to the Father - and I mean by that, the Way which
his teachings show is the only Way. It may seem a little surprising
to you that I, said to have been such a wise and good man, am not
as exalted as are the disciples. Well, while I lived and died many
years before the disciples, and one would suppose that I made greater
progress than had they, yet such is not the fact, because my progress
prior to the coming of Jesus was purely intellectual, and after
his coming it was a long time before I started on my soul's progression.
So you must remember that the fact that a spirit who is called an
ancient spirit, does not mean that it is very highly exalted spirit
in the spheres - because a spirit prior to Jesus' coming to earth
could only make intellectual and soul progress in the natural love
and then not higher than the sixth sphere of the spirit spheres.
But after his coming, and the rebestowal by God of Immortality and
the Divine Love on mankind, the ancients had the opportunity to
make soul progression which was intended, and would enable them
to ascend to the higher Celestial Spheres.
I would like to write more, but you are tired. So I will say good night.
Solomon the wise
