W. When minds in the body deny revealments, because they are
conflicting, they deny the realities of this sphere. When they deny
the realities of this sphere, because all minds are not equally
developed in wisdom, consistency would allow them to deny the realities
of the rudimental state. Will the philosopher deny a fact, because
the ignorant contradict it? Will the mathematician contradict a
demonstration, because the blind and foolish have not beheld it? Will
nature reverse her laws, because ignorance has complained of their
inharmony? Will God cease to be God, because weakness is incredulous of
his wonderful works? Will science disown her pupils, because ignorance
has her votaries? Will wrong work righteousness, because the deceived
have not seen the evil? Will mercy work cruelty, because cruelty doubts
the divinity of sympathy?
Ignorance will act consistent with its nature. The wisdom of this
sphere will be unfolded, and, when it is unfolded, the rudimental world
will be able to judge of this sphere, as it actually is, and not from
mere speculations of fancy, or wrong information. They will be able
to judge of the truth of whatever may be communicated by the nature
of the communication. If it disagree with nature and reason, the wise
will not receive it, and the folly of the unwise will be corrected by
their disappointment. The unwise must learn wisdom to be wise, and if
they will not receive it from the wise, but follow the advice of the
unwise, disappointment will correct the folly which they have received.
There will arise many who will dispute the truth. The wrong will
correct itself, when wrong is discovered. The discovery is sometimes
brought to the mind by disappointment, and sometimes by wise counsel;
but when the latter fails, the former must perform its office to remove
the evil.
The aid and wisdom of this circle will write with mediums. When wisdom
is written, it will not act adversely to human good; and, when folly is
written, it will be detected by minds. The work of writing will require
great care on your part. Such is the physical and mental condition of
minds, that we intend to make a great change in them, before we write
what will be necessary. The writing will not be the commencement of
our work, but will follow other manifestations as soon as will be
expedient. But we shall write what will be profitable, and what is
adapted to mind. The writing will be executed with great rapidity, when
mediums shall become wholly passive.
M. The mediums of writing will not write with spirits who oppose them,
I apprehend.
