Third Blog from message titled, “The Longing is Quicker than the Thought,” explaining James padgett’s mediumship qualifications.
“All things in the spirit world, as well as on earth, are controlled by immutable laws; all spirits as well as mortals, are subject to these laws. The law of rapport and communication must be complied with by spirits, no matter how much elevated, and also by humans; no spirit, by reason of the possession of any power, can set aside this law.
“While spirits don’t have this power, yet they may have knowledge of conditions that they can discern what qualities in a human are susceptible to the influence and molding by the spirit, so that the law may be brought into operation. And this, briefly, will explain why I selected you as my medium and mouthpiece.
“For know this: for a long time I have been endeavoring to influence your mind and beliefs so that your soul might become developed in such a way that would enable us to make a rapport and convey these messages of truth. You were naturally a medium, and for ordinary purposes it was not difficult for the spirits to convey information about the spirit world, which are not of a nature in reference to the relationship of God to humans in the higher spiritual sense.
“There is another phase to this, more personal to you, and it’s that while we have been developing you for the purpose of doing our work and make effective our mission, your soul has been developed in its spiritual nature, and has become in closer union with the Father, and has partaken a large portion of His Love, so to a degree, has been transformed into His essence. You have become a different entity form what you were when your development for our purposes commenced. So, you will derive all the benefits that flow from an experience such as you’ve had.
“You are now one of us in the progress towards the Fountainhead of the Father’s Love, and have taken on part of His Immortality. It depends upon yourself how rapid your progress shall be towards a complete transformation. You need not wait until you come to the spirit world to make rapid progress.
“I have written long; remember my advice, pray often and earnestly, if but for a moment, and the condition will be yours, and we will continue our revealments.
“With my love, I am your brother and friend, Jesus”
