   The mystery of the Godhead three in one    
   22 May 07 11:03:32   
   
   [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. ( ... )
