Princess Saleeba, inhabited the Natural Heavens for many centuries, before coming to James Padgett for help. I will give highlights from her messages. Published in “Messages from Jesus and Celestials,” on pages 77 -80.
“Let me write a little, as I need help and observed how you helped the previous spirit who wrote. To me it was wonderful to see her change as you told her of God’s Love, and when she went with that beautiful spirit who spoke to her so lovingly. I thought there might be hope for me too.
“I am a woman who lived many centuries ago, and was an Egyptian Princess. It was a time when the Jesus you speak of was not known to the world. I was taught the philosophy of the ancient Egyptians, Osires and Isis were our God and Goddess. We worshipped them, not in love or soulful adoration, but in fear and dread. They were not the loving Father that you say your God is, but one that called for our obedience through fear of punishment and tortures of hell. So, you see our souls were not developed in love, our minds were controlled with fear and we offered sacrifices to appease the terrible threatenings of their wrath.
“I was a naturally loving woman and in my life outside my religious beliefs, I was compassionate and sympathetic. Those who were my subjects in our interactions, loved me and were grateful and obedient. Our beliefs were as real and earnest as are yours in your God of Love and Mercy. But as I now see, there’s a great difference in motives and results. Our motives were to appease our angry gods, and your motives are to receive and be filled with the Love and Mercy of a loving Father, to live in his presence and become supremely happy.
“While I have heard of this Love of your Father, and have seen the results of it upon the appearance, and happiness of those who worship your God, yet I have never understood this great love, except intellectually. Love to us was not a thing divine. Obedience and placating the anger of the Gods were divine to us. I never felt the influence of this love, and I didn’t feel the necessity to seek for it. But now I see there is something more to it than the mere knowledge of its existence. I have come to learn more about it.
