I AM HERE. Solomon of the Old Testament.
(Why is it that you come to write to me tonight?)
Well, I was visiting the earth plane and happened to see the last two spirits visit you. I thought that I would do so also.
I know Paul and John and converse with them sometimes, but I do not live in as high a sphere as do they. Wisdom, which I was said to have had in a preeminent degree, is not the equal of Love in elevating a spirit in the Father’s Kingdom. And John and Paul are possessed of more of this Love than am I. Yet, I have great hope that someday I will get this great soul-filling Love to a degree that will enable me to live with them and the others of the followers of the Master. I mean his disciples.
I became a follower of the Master many years ago, and know that he is the only way to the Father. By that, I mean the Way which his teachings show is the only Way. I may seem a little surprising to you that I, said to have been such a wise and good man, am not as exalted as are the disciples. Well, while I lived and died many years before the disciples, and one would suppose that I made more rapid progress than they, yet, such is not the fact, because my progress prior to the coming of Jesus was purely intellectual; and, after his coming, it was a long time before I started on my soul’s progression. So, you must remember that a spirit who is called an ancient spirit does not necessarily mean that it is very highly exalted in the spheres. Prior to Jesus’ coming to earth, a spirit could only make intellectual and soul progress in the natural love, and then not higher than the Sixth Sphere of the Spiritual Spheres. But after his coming, and with the rebestowal by God of immortality and the Divine Love on mankind, the ancients had the opportunity to make the soul progression which was intended, and which would enable them to ascend to the higher Celestial Spheres.
I would like to write more, but you are tired. So, I will say good night.
SOLOMON, THE WISE.
