For the first three years, owing to the extreme youth of my new body, I was unable to express much of my individuality, but nevertheless I thought of you often and felt at times that you received my thoughts and knew that I would keep my promise. Of later years, my advancement has been more rapid and I have learned much for one seemingly so young, but here I find knowledge to be easily acquired; my case being no exception to the rule. Many of the things I have learned could be of no benefit to you while you remain on the earth, so I will confine myself to telling you only those things which will be useful to you and to your fellow men.

First, I must tell you what your earth is, and why and how it is populated and from where the souls come that inhabit it. This statement may puzzle you, but if you will follow me closely I will make it clear to you.

The earth is an outcast and differs from all other planets in that it is dominated by the conflicting influences from many other planets. Each of the other planets, as far as I have been able to ascertain, has a distinct class of inhabitants - people that are characteristic of that particular planet. The earth has twelve distinct classes, which you have heard of as the twelve tribes of Israel, and thousands of variations which have been produced by the intermarriage of one class with another, thus forming a conglomerate mass of tongues and natures and religions. The varied and conflicting ideas and emotions of these different classes of souls keep the people in a constant turmoil; each instinctively distrusting or hating the others and ever watching for the chance to take advantage of them. As a result, real happiness is a very brief and temporary condition on the earth. Among the earth's inhabitants there exists an abnormal desire for those things which when attained bring about the person's destruction. That which is harmful to possess immediately becomes attractive and develops into a consuming passion for its attainment. That which is beneficial and for the good of the person is usually distasteful and is avoided at any cost. An unconscious desire for self-destruction thus underlies all other desires and the disastrous experience of one is no guide or warning to another.) Under these conditions it becomes impossible for the inhabitants of the earth to accomplish much of value because their emotions and misguided desires soon destroy them. Yet the law of the earth makes it so. The earth is the battle ground on which each soul must rise or fall in his fight between the good and the evil. These desires are made to test his strength of purpose and his right to advance to more ideal conditions.

The earth is known to us and to the inhabitants of the other planets as the place of eternal torment, where sinners from all the other worlds are sent as in exile to expiate their transgressions of the divine law. The earth is that place your many religious sects designate as "Hell," and as such it is recognized on all the planets.

The universe is divided into twelve divisions. The planets located in each of these divisions is inhabited by a particular type of people. Distinct in the degree of intelligence and ad vancement from all other divisions. Beginning with the first division and advancing to the twelfth, each division represents a distinct character of intelligence, each being necessary to the complete or perfect intelligence. Each of the divisions is ruled by a Division Ruler, who is responsible to the Mighty Ruler over all, located in the Celestial Heaven.

The twelve divisions of the universe have names which correspond to the following: Ahbo, Ahco, Ahdo, Ahfo, Ahgo, Ahko, Ahlo, Ahmo, Ahno, Ahpo, Ahro and Ahso. On each of the planets in these divisions there is a judgment time every year when all the souls thereon who have gained a sufficient degree of development and perfection are liberated from their bodies and sent on a journey to their new and fairer home in another division. Those who have not lived according to the laws of the planet on which they reside, and have shown a disregard for the Creator's wishes and their own advancement, are sent in exile to the land of torment (the earth) until such time as they shall see the error of their ways and show an honest desire to pro ceed with the work of physical and soul perfecting. This judgment period lasts for about one month on the planets in each division.

Following the judgment month in Ahbo comes the judgment of Ahco and so on forever without omission.

Those who are exiled soon throw off their material bodies and depart for the earth, there to take up their abode in a newly-born physical body where they remain until they have made themselves worthy to be again accepted in the society of the planet from which they were exiled. There is a law that determines the character of the bodies these recreant souls shall occupy while on the earth. That is, unto whom they shall be born as children and who shall be called upon to assume the responsibility of their education and development.

This selection is made as much with a view to developing and advancing the parents as of the newcomer.

It is well known on the earth that children born in different months have different qualifications and characteristics. This results from the influx of exiled souls from the twelve different divisions of the universe. Those who are exiled during January reach the earth during the last half of the month and the first half of February. They come from the division called Ahbo and you can recognize them by certain marked characteristics.
