My dear brother, it is a great pleasure to be with you again.
Yes, I am Jesus, and you see me like in those illustrations to the Bible. You know that we can show ourselves in the form most appropriate for mortals. Your spiritual vision helps you very much. You can distinguish now easily the spirits, who communicate with you. And this gives you much confidence.
Judas conceded me this opportunity to speak with you. As you know, he is your
guide, and he watches over you, in order to keep off lower spirit influence.
Judas is a marvelous spirit, and you will draw much benefit from his guidance
and love.
I wish to speak to you about the letter you just wrote to D___, A___ and G___.
It has been a strong letter and will cause some consternation. They have held
you always in high esteem, because they could see your dedication for our cause.
But now you have lost some of your aura of glory and "sanctity", and
they are not so sure anymore, if you are really "Saint H___," as D___
called you in joke.
Still I think that you have done what is correct, and you have followed what your soul told you to do. Do not worry about the consequences, because everything will turn out right.
You put together a list of questions, which in fact have never been answered, and which they cannot answer. But we will convey the answers little by little.
Your appreciation that there has been lately a smoothing of the Padgett messages is also correct. And your idea of why it is so, is correct, too. In the Padgett messages there are some definitive, ultimate statements, which in fact cannot be expressed that way. Padgett came from a very orthodox background, and in some way this presented many problems for our transmission of contents. Padgett certainly was an admirable person. He managed to get rid of the idea that I was God, and this was very important for the success of our undertaking, but in many topics he clung to his mental world of black and white, without seeing the intermediate tonalities. And this is reflected in the messages, as he received them.
It is true that we presented the path toward the perfect man as something secondary, as inferior, and this really is so. But you understand that this path constitutes a legitimate option for man, and it also leads to a state of perfect harmony with God's Will. The Father offered us the option, and it is sad that not all humanity chooses what will benefit them most, but so are the facts, and the Father accepts it this way, and He blesses it.
There will be no weeping and gnashing of teeth outside the Celestial Heavens, but happiness, although it is an inferior happiness. It is true, the destiny of the sixth sphere continues being a mystery for us, because the law demands changes, but we have the certainty that changes will be happy and beneficial ones. God is a God of Love, His plans are loving and perfect, and so the outcome will be a loving and beneficial one.
I found your question about the spirits' clothes very amusing. But I will satisfy your curiosity. Certainly, the soul with its spiritual body, at the moment of the physical death, abandons the physical body "naked", without gear. You also know that there are spirits, who take care of the reception of this novice soul to the spirit world, and they provide clothes immediately. It is neither a feeling of shame nor a rest of sexuality, why they do this, but they try to facilitate a soft entrance without serious ruptures into our world. This way they provide an atmosphere similar to the material environment of earth, so that the spirits may get acquainted and adapt themselves gradually to their new life. Those clothes never wear out, and the spirits may wear them forever, if they decide to do so. But when they advances and arrive at certain level, they may change their clothes according to their taste and their powers. This is one of the small pleasures in the spirit world; they are the first steps in the ability of creating things. And of course, the spirits are given the pleasure of creating clothes for themselves, exactly according to their taste and pleasure.
In some parts, certain feelings of shame do exist. In the hells, where all the soul's deformities are reflected in the spiritual body, the inhabitants feel shame, their deformed egos feel hurt by their own deformation, and the provided clothes contribute to soothe somehow this very unpleasant situation.
But I believe that you already understand that clothes, strictly speaking,
don't have anything to do with some feeling of shame, which has its origin in
sexuality and in earthly education, neither with some supposed cold temperature.
The only cold that one may feel in the spirit world, is the cold caused by the
lack of love, and you cannot protect yourself against that through clothes.
I think I have said enough on this not very momentous topic. Judas will take
care of clarifying your remaining questions in future messages.
I will say goodbye now. You understand that this message is not apt, either, for publishing at the moment, at least its first part. If you wish to do so, you may communicate it to G___, since you have done this once, provided he does not feel disturbed in his faith.
But remember, nothing and nobody can shake the foundations of my teachings, which James Padgett has received correctly, the teachings about the Celestial path by means of prayer and obtaining the Divine Love of the Father.
You have my blessings and those of the Father. Don't worry about adverse reactions, just continue along your way. You have given everything, you offered your collaboration in many works, and a lot of what you wanted to carry out, you could not do, for certain lack of cooperation or will on the part of people, on whom you depended. But this is not important. Now you can carry out a work, in which you don't depend on anybody else, only on you and on your own will. If you maintain your good condition, we may achieve a work of great value.
May God keep His blessings upon you always,
Your elder brother,
