Angelic Revelations - the Gospel of God’s
Love
A Note About
the Mediumship of Daniel Samuels
For those already familiar with the messages received through James
Padgett, the Samuels channelings are a blessing in that they provide continuity
and integration between the teachings of the Bible and the revelations received
through Mr. Padgett.
Samuels' mediumship differed from Padgett's in that it is much more
filled with detail and subtlety, which makes it a perfect supplement to the
"broad strokes" that Padgett's mediumship painted with. However, with
this greater resolution of detail comes greater risk of error, and it is true
that we have found significant
factual as well as conceptual errors in Samuel's writings. We believe that the
benefit of the truth contained in Samuel's writings far outweighs the detriment
of these inaccuracies; but still, we must ask the reader to exercise
discernment when reading these works.
In our opinion, there are a number of channelings where it appears
that there was something of a "tug-of-war" going on between Samuels'
and Jesus' mind. Sometimes the end result is a compromise between the two,
while other times the result seems to be a blending of the contradictory points
of view.
And then there are some of Samuel’s messages which appear (in our
opinion) to have originated almost entirely in his own mind. Messages which appear largely lacking in
angelic influence have simply been omitted from our presentations.
We don't mean to pick on Daniel Samuels here. Being a good medium
is about as easy as being a good ski jumper. And as in such an endeavor, we'd
rather focus on the successful runs rather than the crackups.
In our edited presentations
of Samuel’s channelings, we've tried to filter out words that we perceive as a
“distortion” introduced by the mortal medium’s mind; but in the unedited
archival versions, the reader will need to do the filtering.
The following is an excerpt from a message received from Jesus
(through a different medium) regarding the accuracy and clarity of Dr. Samuels'
mediumship:
Received through KS
6-10-92I am here now to write...and we are working with what is known as a "catch 22" on earth at this time, which means that it's very difficult to convince someone about the accuracy and clarity of a medium -through the use of mediumistic means. But I will bring what clarity I am able to the situation. I am your friend and brother in spirit - the spirit of God's Divine Love made manifest in my soul - Jesus of the Bible and Master of the Celestial Heavens.
...When a person is serving the Cause of Truth in the best way he or she is able, it is hoped that others will accept the goodness of that person, and realize that he or she cannot go beyond the limits which his present condition allows.
So, when a medium is willing to serve as a channel for our messages, we express our thoughts as best as we can through the limitations of that person's development. We know that there is no person on earth, at this time, who is perfect. There are thousands of people who are striving to become more loving and caring people. There are many who know the Truths of Gods' great Love, and are praying for that Love to help them rise above their present limitations and blocks and fears. The Love is working in their souls.... As you have been given the explanation which appears in the volumes of messages we previously delivered, it may seem like a spirit is not the same person when delivering a message through two different mediums, because of the limitations imposed upon that spirit by the condition and experience of the medium. So even though you or others may not be able to discern what they believe my personality to be through some writings which I was able to deliver through a certain medium, (this) does not indicate conclusively that it was not I who delivered those thoughts.
Dr. Samuels was a very strong-minded individual. We were able to deliver many messages successfully, but there were some messages, occasionally, which were given thoughts from his own mind. And this is true of each and every medium we have the privilege of working with in the world today. When a person is attempting to evaluate the accuracy and clarity of a medium, he or she needs to take into consideration a wide range of topics, and particularly taste the flavor of the messages in general, in order to get a feel for the quality of message we are generally able to transmit through that medium.
As the condition of soul determines, to a large degree, the quality of message we are able to deliver, then you can realize that as you continue praying for an increase of the Father's Love into your souls, you will become in better condition to receive higher quality messages...
We do write through ___, and we did write through Dr. Samuels. And we were and are limited by the particular development and imperfections of these mediums; but we are also satisfied that what we were and are able to deliver is as accurate as possible under the circumstances of the (medium's) limitations.
Now you may be more able to see clearly why, as mankind progresses in his nature of love (and) quality of soul, we will be enabled to deliver higher and clearer truths, because these will be able to be transmitted through mediums in a higher condition of soul than are now available for us to use for this purpose.
We love you, each and everyone, and we will remain by your sides and work with you as long as it's your desire and free will choice to serve our God of Love, by example and (by) helping others learn of the availability of His Great Love.
I am your friend and brother in spirit - the Spirit of Gods Divine Love residing in my soul, which came to me in answer to my sincere prayers for its inflowing.
Jesus of the Bible and
Master of the Celestial Heavens
From this you can see that the
revealment of Divine truth is most certainly a work in progress. Sometimes the
necessary response to a request for clarification is simply that we must be
patient – awaiting the time when the soul development of our practicing mediums
will permit the Angels' more successful communication.
In the meantime, there is abundant food for thought in these
messages. And by maintaining that prayerful state as you read, you will enable
the Angels to help you discern the
intended meaning of any questionable passages.
