I AM HERE. Jesus.
I will answer the question which Dr. Stone wanted to know – if it were possible for Celestial Spirits to keep on obtaining the Divine Love of the Father throughout all eternity, once the privilege of obtaining this Great Gift has been withdrawn from mankind. I have already written you to the effect that, even though the privilege of obtaining this Great Gift is withdrawn from mortals and spirits who have not obtained any of the Divine Love of the Father at the time of its withdrawal, yet, those whose soul mates are in the Celestial Heavens or those who have some of the Divine Love in their souls and are progressing through the spheres towards the Celestial Heavens, will retain the privilege of thus obtaining the Divine Love for a certain period of time, as a period of grace before the privilege is taken away from them as well.
Now in the case of Celestial Spirits, the privilege of obtaining the Divine Love can never be withdrawn. And this also holds for souls with some of the Love who are progressing towards the Celestial Heavens, for the Father cannot withdraw His Love and Divine Nature from a soul once He has bestowed His Great Gift upon that soul. For once some of the Divine Nature is lodged in a soul, It can never be removed. And that soul has the privilege of seeking more and more of the Father’s nature for all eternity. The Divine Love in the soul of man or spirit gives to that mortal or spirit a kinship in nature with the Father born as a result of the At-onement that then exists between the soul of that mortal or spirit and the Great Soul of God, if only to a certain extent. And, in fact, this kinship grows ever closer throughout all eternity as more and more of the Nature of God is conveyed into the soul of that mortal or spirit. God does not withdraw His own Nature or Essence from the soul of the mortal or spirit which has done the Will of the Father and has obtained, if only to a small degree, His Divine Nature. And, thus, the Father may withdraw this privilege from souls which do not have the Divine Love, and those souls have lost nothing which they did not possess before. But removal of the Love from a soul possessing a portion of It would mean God’s taking away from that soul the Great Gift which that soul obtained by prayer; and such a removal of the Love would mean that the soul’s earnest longing for His Divine Love would be in vain. So, even if the Gift of the Divine Love is withdrawn, it means that its withdrawal applies only to those who have not sought for It and have shown themselves indifferent to Its presence and not desirous of its possession. It is never withdrawn from those who have sought for It through the earnest longings of their souls. And to such as have received, It is given; and they retain the privilege of seeking It in greater abundance throughout all eternity.
The Divine Love is the essence and the nature of God, and It is always in existence; for if It did not exist, God could not exist. Therefore, it does not mean that, if withdrawn by God, It ceases to exist. For the age in which you and the doctor live, and for a certain number of centuries to come, this Gift will continue to flow from the Source of the Father’s Being. And when it does cease, it does not necessarily mean that the privilege will be withdrawn for all eternity. For souls yet unborn would thus be deprived of the opportunity of seeking for It in the mortal as well as in the spirit world. And thus, it is conceived that the Divine Love may flow for a period, cease for a period, and then be rebestowed in the fullness of time. And this may or may not continue in a series of ebbs and flows, as the Father so desires.
