THE DAILY LESSON - February 7, 2012
"That changes a little bit as these people who have passed on - some of
them - do the same thing that we do here: become a little more spiritual
through our studies and enlightenment. Just as we are not the same people we
were five years ago, not by a long sight. Whatever we have picked up of
spiritual wisdom or metaphysical knowledge has lifted us in consciousness to a
more spiritual state of being.
Well, of course, those who have passed on have that same opportunity as we
have. They also may be as 'sinful as scarlet' today when they pass on, but they
are just as apt to be 'white as snow' tomorrow because their opportunities for
expansion and development are just exactly the same as ours. And so some of
those who go further in spiritual development may ultimately either give
messages of a more spiritual nature or if those that they give the
communication to do not grow and are not able to receive spiritual
communication, they may leave them entirely and find somebody else to
communicate with or through.
Now all of this is in the realm of the human. None of this has to do with
spiritual illumination from, let's call it, illumined consciousness. Let us say
that one is as illumined as Buddha, Lao-tzu, Jesus, John, Paul. Would you not
say that that illumination is of God - that they have received their illumined
consciousness of God? And if you do agree that any degree of spiritual
illumination that we receive is of God, you must take the next step and agree
that that state of illumined consciousness is immortal, that it can't die, and
it can't go any place." ~Joel
I Cor 2:12,13
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(The wisdom of the world is rarely given without condition or some kind of
implied agreement. Spiritual illumination is unconditional, and infinitely
available. It is always freely given as the Grace of God [loving for the sake
of Love]. ~Al)
