I am here, Eugene Crowell.
By permission of your band, I will write you a little, as I see
that you are reading my book, and I am, consequently, interested
in your right understanding of it.
Well, as you have observed, I did not look upon Jesus as a god,
but merely as a very high medium and in great favor with the high
spirit powers. And that is correct so far as it goes, but he is
more than that: he is the highest, and most enlightened and most
powerful of all the spirits, and is the only one of all the great
prophets or seers or reformers, or messengers of God, who ever taught
the true and only way to the Kingdom of Heaven. And the sooner all
spiritualists recognize and believe this fact, the sooner will true
spiritualism be established on earth and the Love of the Father
be implanted in each soul.
All these things have I learned since I came over here and had
the opportunity of investigating the truth at first hand with all
my powers, which are not limited or encumbered with the physical
senses. So you must, in reading my book, eliminate everything from
what you may accept as true that teaches or intimates that Jesus
is not the great Master and teacher of the true and only way to
God's Love and salvation.
Of course, all spirits do not understand or believe this, and when
John said try the spirits and
learn whether they be true or not, he meant just what I have
told you. I know now that Jesus is the most exalted son of God,
and while we are all His sons, yet none of us is so at-one with
Him as the Master.So as you are investigating this question of spiritualism
in true earnestness, I thought it best to tell you what I have learned,
as I do not want any expression in my book of a meaning contrary
to what I have here expressed cause you to doubt for one moment
the truths that Jesus and your band have been teaching you.
You are wonderfully favored in having such a teacher, and I believe
that the result will be that when you shall have received his messages
and transmitted them to the world, spiritualism will become the
religion of the whole earth. This is my belief and it is founded
on the fact that it will then teach, besides the continuity of life
and spirit communication, the great truths that will show men the
absolute necessity of following these teachings of the Master in
order to become the true children of the Father and be received
by Him in His Kingdom of Love and Divine existence.
I must not take up more time now, but will write you again, if
permitted.
Yes, it is. Well I thought that you wrote Eugene. I cannot see
what you have written at the time of its being written, and when
I guide your hand and impress your brain, I think that you have
written as I intended.
Eugene Crowell - that is my name. The writing of Edward was not
what I intended.
Yes, in 1886, at San Francisco, California. This is true, and you
will find an account of my passing over in the newspapers of June
7, 1886. In the San Francisco newspapers. So examine for yourself
and you will find what I say to be true.
Well, I will say good-night.
Your recent spirit friend,
Eugene Crowell
