Spiritualism versus Spiritism - Addendum

40 Spiritism , is that unwanted spirits are being attracted and they would also like to use the table. Once they succeed they are very difficult to get rid of. Question : (Guest) May I ask about my departed relatives? I would like to send a message to a relative. Is this possible? ELIAS : Such a connection will only be only possible through our mediation. It can only take place within this circle. You will possibly not be able to make direct contact with a deceased relative. There are three reasons for this: 1. Recently deceased people have to find their feet to begin with. They must realise as soon as possible that they no longer live on Earth, ergo are no longer made of flesh and blood, but that they now live in the realm of the spirit. They must comprehend that a lot of tasks await them there as well. One can therefore not expect to make contact with them. 2. Once they arrive in a HIGHER SPHERE, there is a danger that they forfeit their objectivity and also their insights the moment they descent back down to talk to terrestrial people. Those that want to come down from the HIGHER SPHERES must pass through the LOWER SPHERES and this is not an agreeable experience. This is the reason why most of the HIGHER GRADED deceased forgo terrestrial contacts. 3. No contact can eventuate if the soul in question has already reincarnated. Contact can however be made if one is for instance dealing with awarding an honour. If this is the case, the soul will be escorted by angels for protection. Any other attempt represents a risk. We, your TEACHERS, would also expose ourselves to great dangers if we didn’t enjoy this great PROTECTION because of our affiliation with the HIGHER SPHERES. Our teaching activities and our vow to only tell the truth distinguishes us as mediators between two planes of existence. Question : (Guest) I had a supernatural vision. What did it mean? ELIAS : Your vision was supposed to tell you that you find yourself at the SOURCE of GREAT REVELATIONS. • Most people that deal with our proclamations are absolutely not aware of the eminent honour they receive. To be guided to this truth is an unimaginable blessing. If you were to see your late mother now, a mother you remembers as old and frail, she would appear to you like an adult daughter, transfigured and free from terrestrial worries. This is why it is her wish that you strive upwards in order to occupy the same level as hers, namely to lead a free and untormented existence in GOD’S eyes. • The deceased to not want to be confronted with things that could conjure up a dark and unresolved past. Their terrestrial memories are still like a freshly healed wound. Question : The fact that the edition of the Menetekel has not increased of its own accord is indeed strange. What is the reason for this?
