Joseph has begun reading some of my work, which has led to this:
Yesterday I read a fantastic conversation between James and Mary Magdalene in BOOK 4a, PDF pages 73-76, and experienced a horrible feeling when I came to the end.
The feeling I had is that when I received a series of messages from my family now living in the spirit-world, I was living a fantasy. I was not consciously doing my soul-healing, and therefore the healing of feelings by spirits was a hidden world to me. Yikes! This feeling almost caused me to destroy the book I published about my experiences receiving messages from my family, which I think John has read.
Thus, this morning I felt that I needed to speak with my family about this subject. You may read the message below that I received from my father (he passed in1951) ...
20170115 A message from my father.
It feels that I am in a whole new world, and I am feeling I am not prepared for it. Maybe it is because I don't like it and don't want it. Maybe I like my fantasy world of believing the Divine Love will fix everything, and the more I long for the love, God will fix everything. What I'm hearing now is that this is fantasy, and if we love truth and desire to progress to the Celestial Heavens and beyond to Paradise, I must be willing to experience all my feelings, and heal all my childhood repressions, which sounds like a yuk world, dark and filled with tears and pain … like returning to the womb in the reverse direction, healing all my bad feelings and experiences on the way to a new birth.
I want to speak with my family about this, in particular, my father or mother.
Dad, you were the first of my family to come and write messages almost two years ago. Would you come again and speak to me of your experiences in the progress of your soul to the Celestial Heaven. Did you go through your soul-healing in order to do this? And if you did, why did you and others in our family not speak to me about this and your healing?
Dad, are you here? Or shall I wait?
Joseph, my son, I am here to be with you again. It has been a very long time, and I have been waiting to speak with you again. Yes, I am Andrew, your father when on earth.
May I first say that you are not living a fantasy. What you are feeling is a real part of your on-going experiences in the evolution of your soul. There is more clarity available to you now. You have grown, evolved if you will. We, your family, have also progressed from the person you not only remember from your childhood but what you learned about us while we began our communications several years ago.
When we communicated our experiences, we provided information based on your level of ability to receive. It was a new experience for you as well as for us. We did not purposely omit information, or by design withhold information.
Yes, I went through a very difficult period when progressing to the Celestial Heaven. I did not tell you the specifics of this difficulty. I can now. say, to an extent you are limited in understanding the dynamics as well as the necessity of our soul being healed of all its injuries. Our feelings are truly the key, Joseph. Like you still on earth, we in spirit also have feelings, and before we ascend to the Celestial world, our feelings range the spectrum of emotions, from hate to the extremes of anger, despondency, and depression.
That's alright, Joseph. Take a break. Breathe deeply and pray for help from our Heavenly Parents. This communication might be difficult for you to receive. So, please, take your time. I will wait...
Thank you, Dad. I am feeling inadequate right now. I am not feeling confident to receive your words. So I will do as you suggest, and I will return.
Later.
I have returned. To tell the truth, I felt that I did not want to come back to continue our conversation. I wanted to run away. I did not want to hear your story. But I stayed, and rested in my recliner chair, breathed deeply, and prayed. I have returned to hear your words, dad. Please continue.
I love you, my son. I will continue, but I will not tell you all that I did to bring healing to my soul, perhaps only a few highlights. First, let me say that I could not have done it without the help of gentle and kind spirit-helpers. They stood with me during the long process. listening to me speak and cry about my feelings of despair and hurt and pain.
As you might recall, I did not immediately follow the advice of Ana (your sister) and Charles (your brother), about the path with the Divine Love. Oh, I experienced some measure of the Divine Love, but I was more interested in understanding my bad feelings, and how I could gain control of them. I ascended from the first spirit-world to the second and to the fourth. I wanted to cover my feelings, especially the bad feelings that continued to nag me and did not leave, no matter how hard I tried, with my mind, to ease the pains. Oh, I found some help and relief, that is why I was able to ascend to the fourth spirit-world.
And you may also recall what changed my course. It was the news of the arrival into the spirit-world of your mother, and how quickly she ascended, with Ana's help, through the other world's I was not aware of, except as information given to me by Ana and Charles. It was brought to my attention again, of the importance of longing for the Divine Love.
Well, when I changed course from the attention of my mind to the way of the Divine Love, I moved immediately to the third spirit-world, where the Divine Love is the main focus. However, and this part I did not share with you two years ago when we were communicating, that I was taught the importance of our feelings, in particular, our bad feelings, as the way to advance with the Divine Love. Thus, I returned to the world of feelings that I was trying to escape when I went the way of the mind. Now, I was face to face with bad feelings that never left me.
These feelings were horrible, Joseph. There were buried feelings I had no idea were still part of my soul-being. In fact, the picture of those buried feelings was the awful deterioration of my human flesh that you saw as I suffered the ravages of cancer. In the end, before I died, I was nothing but skin and bone. You saw this, and I am sorry you had to experience this at such a young age (this was 1951 and you were 16).
Oh, Joseph, the pain of the death of my body was nothing compared to the healing of all my buried feelings, all the feelings going right back to my childhood, and even back as far as the time when I was in the womb of my mother! I did not know, I did not realize that the early feelings never evaporate and disappear. They remain as the things that disturb and distract our life when we become adults. And, left unhealed, the suppressed feelings erupt later as bad experiences, even the bad experience of a cancer in the physical body.
And so I went the way of healing my soul, right to the last of them in my childhood. Why did I yell and beat my children? Because this was a pattern I learned in my childhood. Why was I a strict authoritarian? Because I learned this in my childhood. Oh, and so much more, Joseph … so much more. Through encouragement from others, Celestial helpers, I continued. I would not give up. Love, the Divine Love, received and felt, encouraged me to continue. God was not angry and beating me into submission. No, this was not the way. It was the presence of our Loving Heavenly Parent, helping me to be healed of all my negative emotions and feelings, standing next to us, as it were, encouraging me to take the next step. It was all worth it, Joseph, in the end when the Great Light arrived and I was at the end of the dark, black tunnel, and felt the complete liberation and freedom of my soul, I leaped for joy and thanksgiving. For the first time in my life, flesh on earth and spirit, I felt absolute freedom to be the soul that I am. The transition to the Celestial world was my true birth-day, my new birth.
What I have shared here is not my full story, Joseph. I could not begin to tell you each and every single feeling that I healed. This would fill a book in and of itself. And it is an individual matter. I cannot tell you the story of Ana, or of Charles, or of my wife—your mother. Each one went through their own soul-healing. If you would like to hear their experience, please ask them, Joseph.
I hope you found what I have said helpful to you.
Thank you, dad. Thank you for sharing this. I am sure it will help me as I begin my own soul-healing. As you know, I tried many times during my long life, to search my childhood why I am the way that I am. Yet, only recently, have I discovered how important it is to pay close attention to our feelings, and that the way of feelings, not the world of mind, is the way that we will complete our new-birth as promised by Jesus when he came to write messages through James Padgett in 1914. And I feel that I might be too old to get very far in my soul-healing while still in the flesh, so I will not give too much time to do it now. I will begin in more earnestness when I come to the spirit-world.
I will be waiting, my son, and we all will assist you, that is, your family that is now here in the spirit-world.
I love you, dad. I must go now. Thank you again for coming to write what you did.
You are welcome. And thank you for sitting to receive my words. It was not an easy thing for you to do, but you stayed with it.
I am Andrew, your father when I was on earth and I love you.
