Excerpts from a message in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 96:
“You don’t believe me, I can see, but I am whom I say, and want to tell you that I am now a follower of Jesus and a lover of God, and live in the Celestial Heavens far up near where the Master lives. I know it is hard for humans to believe that I am the father of all physical mankind and that I can come and communicate with mortals, but Jesus has rendered this possible in his opening the way for the higher spirits to communicate through you.
“I and my soulmate lived in a paradise which God had given us, and were very happy until the great fall. We were so filled with the thoughts that we were all-powerful and all-wise that we concluded that the obedience which God required of us was not necessary for us to observe, and that if we only exerted our powers we would be as great as God is, and would be able to obtain that immortality which He possessed. But alas the day, we were mere creatures, although wonderful and beautiful, and we soon realized that fact.
“The disobedience was in not waiting for God to bestow upon us the great Divine Love that would make us like Him in Substance as well as image. We disobeyed Him in that we tried to make ourselves believe we were as He was, and that we need not submit further to His will. We tried to make this belief a thing of reality and in our vanity tried to appear as gods; but as soon as we did this the scales dropped from our eyes, and we saw how naked and impotent we were.
“God did not drive us from our paradise, but the inxorable laws of our creation and the workings of His will showed us that no longer could we expect the Divine Love which He said would make us Divine. As we became more disconnected from our souls and their spiritual powers, we became subject to all the temptations of natural humans, and had to work to satisfy these appetites. We continued to live in the same place, but no more could be satisfied with spiritual food. We became as mortals now are; we were compelled to till the soil to supply our physical wants.”
