I am here, John.
I came merely to say that you have received from the Master a communication
which has more importance than you at this time appreciate. I am
referring more particularly to that part of it which states
that your friend (Dr. Stone) has been selected for a work which
is of great importance. I know how important that work will be,
and he will be impressed at it and will probably hesitate to undertake
it, but he must not falter for he will be given all the power that
will be necessary for him to have in order to do what shall be required
of him. You both are highly favored in being selected for these
missions and you must not let doubt as to your being selected or
as to the Master writing to you or as to your having the power conferred
on you which will enable you to do the work.
I am interested in both of you, and you must recollect that, while
you are both weak and unimportant mortals, yet you have behind and
sustaining you the great power of the celestial world, with Jesus
as the leader. What a wonderful thing this is! Why when we were
selected as mortals, to become the disciples of the Master we never
had such power to sustain us, because Jesus himself was not then
as powerful as he is now, and he had not then formed the celestial
spheres with all the powers that now exist there.
So I say there is no reason why you two should not be greater in
your works than were any of us who worked with the Master while
he was on earth or who worked afterwards as long as we remained
mortals. Do not think that this is improbable, for it will come
true; and while you may doubt, considering the fact that you are
weak mortals with all the deficiencies of mortals, yet you must
remember this one fact and that is, that so far as you are personally
concerned, you are not of importance in doing the work, but as mediums
and instruments through which it will be done, you are of the greatest
importance to the plans and designs of these higher spirits - of
more importance than any other mortals at this time. So there is
no reason to flatter yourselves because of the great powers that
will be given to you, and of the importance that you will be to
the salvation of mankind, but you may congratulate yourself that
you have been selected from all humanity to do this work. And further,
remember this, that as a result of your doing this work you will
receive such an abundance of the Divine Love, and come in such close
association with the celestial spirits, that you will probably find
yourselves in that condition of soul development as will enable
you to enter those spheres where your soulmates may be living at
the time, without having to go through the experiences of the lower
spheres.
I will not write more tonight as your power has been greatly called
on by the messages which you have received. So with all my love
for you both, I am
Your brother in Christ,
John
