 “It is I who have come your saviour and your judge.  I have come as I did long ago among the wayward children of Israel.  I have come to bring truth and to disperse the darkness.  Listen to me.  As my words did long ago, Spiritism must remind materialists the unchangeable truth reigns over them: the good god, the Almighty God, who causes the plants to grow and the ocean waves to rise.  I have revealed the divine Doctrine.  Like a reaper, I have gathered into bundles the good ones who were scattered among humankind and I have said: Come to me, all you who suffer!

 


However, ungrateful humans have deserted the straight and broad path that leads to my Fathers kingdom and they have becomes lost in the rut filled byway of impiety.  My Father does not wish for the human race to perish.  He will no longer speaks through prophets or apostles; he wants , both living and dead; dead according to the flesh, as death does not exist; to help each other and that the voice of those who do not exist in flesh any longer is heard, calling you: Pray and Believe! For death is the resurrection, and life the chosen test, during which, your cultivated virtues must grow and become developed as the cedar. Believe you in the voices that answer you: they are the very souls of those who you evoke/invoke. I only communicate very rarely. My friends, those who have watched my life and my death are divine interpreters of the desires of my Father.

 

Weak men, who believe in the mistake of your obscure intelligences, do not extinguish the beam which divine clemency has placed in your hands, in order to illuminate the path and redirect you, lost children, to the bosom of your Father.

Verily I say unto you: believe in diversity, in the multiplicity of the Spirits that are surrounding you. I am infinitely touched with compassion for the afflicted, for your immense weakness, to fail to extend protective hand to misguided unfortunates who, seeing/watching the heaven, fall into the abyss of mistake.

Believe, love, understand: the truths that are revealed to you; do not mix the chaff with the good grain, the systems with the truths.

Spiritists! Love one another, here is the first teaching; instruct yourselves, this is the second. All truths are found in Christianity; mistakes are man-made that have taken root. Behold, from beyond the grave, you judge nothing, cry the voices that call you: Brothers! Nothing perishes; Jesus Christ is the victor over evil, be the victors over impiety."

 

NOTE: This communication obtained by one of the best mediums of Society Spiritist of Paris, was signed with a name that respect does not allow us to reproduce, but under all reservations, for so great would the illustrious support of its authenticity and because much from Him has been   abused in obviously apocryphal writings.  It is that of Jesus of Nazareth.  We have absolutely no doubt that he can manifest himself.  However, if truly high order spirits only do so under exceptional circumstances, reason prevents us from believing that the Pure Spirit par excellence would respond to any appeal.  It would be at the very least a great sacrilege to attribute an unworthy communication to him.

These considerations have led us always to avoid publishing anything bearing his name.  We believe we can never be too cautious when dealing with publications of this type, which only appeal to vanity, and whose least inconvenience is to furnish weapons to the adversaries of Spiritism.

 


As we have stated, the more elevated the spirits in the hierarchy are, the more we should distrust signatures bearing their names.  It would take a huge dose of pride for certain individuals to flatter themselves at having been privileged with their communications, deeming themselves worthy of conversing with them as if they were one of their equals.  In the above communication, our only proof is the undeniable superiority of the language and thought, and we will leave to each person the care of appraising whether or not he who has signed it would reject it or not.
