Does the great and good Father not impart to the very lowest the same as to the highest form of development?
The sun shines with its warming rays upon the evil, as well as upon the just.
The refreshing rains impart their vapoury substances over the just and unjust alike, withholding from none, but all sharing equally in substance.
All are children of one great principle, the Father of Love, the Father of Justice, the Father of Charity, and those who err are the weak—they are dependent upon the strong to lead them, and you, who are the stronger, who have the intellectual development by which you can lead them, see that ye do not hold back, but apply your talents with all the capacity of your comprehension to assist them. It is your heaven-bound duty, and if you do not realise it here, you certainly will in the higher life—then it will be too late—not too late to make amends, but disabled as you are, cut loose from the material temple, which was of great assistance in your material works, you will find that very little can be done without it. Therefore, the return of the spirit, the desire to loosen the shackles, which held you to earth.
How is this to be done?
You reason with those who are your superiors.
They in spirit are not as selfish as you were—they will instruct you, aye, even assist you by leading you to the shrine where you will be able to throw off a portion of the burden, which depresses the soul.
They lead you hither, and assist you to accomplish the work you left undone.
Yes—brothers and sisters, in the beautiful spheres of the summer land, there is no selfishness, there is no ingratitude—all—all interblend in harmony, peace and goodwill toward each other, and it is the reflections of this beautiful world, which casts the rays of spiritual sunlight in your midst, and which is now bringing mortals nearer to the shrine of love and truth.
—B. H. in Spirit
