Verily, I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Who is the one true God?

There is no God here save the One True God, and Christ who is His manifestation. 

An idolator, in spirit, asks if he might see Christ.

Shortly after this, Christ manifested Himself in dim light to him and to others who had newly arrived in the world of spirits because at this stage, they could not have endured a full exhibition of His glory, for His glory is so surpassing that even the angels look on Him with difficulties, and cover their faces with their wings (Isaiah vi.2).

When He does reveal Himself to anyone, He takes into account the particular stage of progress to which that soul has attained, so He appears dimly―or in the fuller light of His glory that the sight of Him may be endured.

Bathed in the rays of His life-giving light, and with the waves of His love, which constantly flow out from Him, flowing over all, all error is washed away.

What is the impact of thought?

You do not attract that which you want, but that which you are. Your inmost thoughts and desires are fed with their own food, be it foul―or clean. The divinity that shapes our ends is in you―it is your very self. You are chained only by yourself. It is not what you wish and pray for that you get, but what you justly earn. Your wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonise with your thoughts and actions. In the light of this truth, what then is the meaning of fighting against circumstances? It means that you are continually revolting against an effect without, while all the time you are nourishing and preserving its cause in your heart.

James Allen, As a Man Thinketh, Thomas Y. Crowell, New York, 1913, Chapter Two, Effect of Thought on Circumstances, 15-6

What makes up a living soul?

What must be brought home to every living soul?

The great truths of active life in the spirit world—of retaining one's own personality—of many dividing places on this side, for the many types of souls in all stages of development, the fact that we, in the spirit world, are not formless ghosts, but living (wo)men with real bodies, the certainty of recognition among those who have loved each other on earth, together with the great long-forgotten truth of pre-existence, and the unalterable law that we pay for our wrongdoing ourselves are points, which must be brought home to every living soul.
