From Luke, in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 251 – 2.
“The question arose, What is the spirit? I know that there have been, for centuries, great differences of opinion among theologians and wise spiritual teachers as to what the spirit is, some contending that it and the soul are the same thing; and others that the spirit is the real ego of a person, and the soul something of less quality, and subordinate to the spirit; and others having other views. But as I have said, the soul is the true ego, or self, and everything else connected with humans and forming a part of their creation (when they were pronounced to be “very good”) is subordinate to the soul, and only its instrumentality for manifesting itself.
“As Jesus has told you, the spirit is simply the active energies of the soul, and the instrumentality by which the soul manifests itself; and this definition applies to the spirit of humans while a mortal, as well as when they become inhabitants of the spirit world. The spirit is inseparable from the soul, and has no function in the existence of humans except to make manifest potentialities of the soul in its activities. Spirit is not life, but it may become eveidence of life. It is life’s “breath.”
“And as humans were created in the image of their Maker, and as spirit is only the active energy of the soul, by application of the principle of “correspondences” which one of your former psychics declared to exist, it may be assumed (and it is true) that the Holy Spirit is the active energy of the great Soul of the Father – which spirit, as we know from our experiences and observations, is used as the messenger of the Father to convey to humankind His divine-love. And I do not mean to restrict the mission of the holy-spirit to humankind in the flesh, for it also conveys and bestows this great Love upon the souls of God’s children who are inhabitants of the spirit world.
“And so it is a truth that the holy-spirit is not God and no part of the “Godhead,” but is His messenger of truth and love, emanating from His great Soul, and bringing to humankind Love, light and happiness.
“So you see, there is no “mystery of the Godhead”- and no secret that God does not wish for humans to know.” Amen
