|    The mystery of the Godhead three in one     |

      [continued from previous message]              It is said that man is composed of body, soul and spirit, and this is true.       From your life's experience you know what the body is, and I have told you       what the soul is, and now the question arises, what is the spirit? I know       that there have been for centuries great differences of opinion among       theologians and other wise men as to what the spirit is; some contending       that it and the soul are the same thing, and others, that the spirit is the       real ego of man and the soul something of less quality and subordinate to       the spirit, and others having other views, and all wrong, for as I have said       the soul is the ego, and everything else connected with man and forming a       part at his creation when he was pronounced to be "very good," is       subordinate to the soul, and only its instrumentality for manifesting       itself.              As Jesus has told you, the spirit is the active energy of the soul and the       instrumentality by which the soul manifests itself; and this definition       applies to the spirit of man while a mortal as well as when he becomes an       inhabitant of the spirit world. The spirit is inseparable from the soul, and       has no function in the existence of man, except to make manifest the       potentialities of the soul in its activities. Spirit is not life, but it may       become an evidence of life--it is life's breath.              And as man was created in the image of his Maker--and as spirit is only the       active energy of the soul, by the application of the principle of       correspondences, which one of your former psychics declared to exist, IT MAY       BE ASSUMED AND IT IS TRUTH, THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ACTIVE ENERGY OF THE       GREAT SOUL OF THE FATHER, AND, AS WE KNOW FROM OUR EXPERIENCES AND       OBSERVATIONS, IS USED AS THE MESSENGER OF THE FATHER TO CONVEY TO MANKIND       HIS DIVINE LOVE. AND I DO NOT MEAN TO RESTRICT THE MISSION OF THE HOLY       SPIRIT TO MANKIND IN THE FLESH, FOR IT ALSO CONVEYS AND BESTOWS THIS GREAT       LOVE UPON THE SOULS OF THE FATHER'S CHILDREN WHO ARE SPIRITS WITHOUT THE       BODIES OF BONE AND FLESH, AND WHO ARE INHABITANTS OF THE SPIRIT WORLD. AND       SO, IT IS A TRUTH THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT GOD AND NO PART OF THE       GODHEAD, BUT MERELY HIS MESSENGER OF TRUTH AND LOVE EMANATING FROM HIS GREAT       SOUL AND BRINGING TO MAN LOVE AND LIGHT AND HAPPINESS.              So you see there is no mystery of the Godhead, and no secret that God does       not wish man to know and understand, and no truth that it is contrary to       God's laws and will that man shall search for and possess.              IT IS SAID THAT GOD IS SPIRIT, AND IT IS TRUE; BUT SPIRIT IS NOT GOD, ONLY       ONE OF HIS INSTRUMENTS USED TO WORK WITH MANKIND AND THE SPIRITS OF MEN. TO       WORSHIP THE INSTRUMENT IS BLASPHEMY, AND ONLY GOD ALONE MUST BE WORSHIPED.       JESUS MUST NOT BE WORSHIPED AS GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT MUST NOT BE SO       WORSHIPED, AND THE SOONER MEN LEARN THIS TRUTH AND OBSERVE IT THE SOONER       THEY WILL GET IN AT-ONEMENT WITH THE FATHER, AND PLEASE THE MASTER, WHO, AS       SOME MAY NOT KNOW, IS THE GREATEST WORSHIPER OF THE FATHER IN ALL HIS       UNIVERSE.              I have written longer than l expected, but I hope from my message many       mortals may receive the truth, and believe that the Holy Spirit is not one       of the Godhead, and that the mystery of the Godhead is a myth, without body,       soul or spirit, and that there is no truth in all God's universe that man is       not invited to search for and understand and possess.
