Upon this very day upon your Earth plane, there will be many gathered in the various and diverse churches throughout the land, who will be singing praises and thanking God for the Christ, and for the example that he set.
And after the sadness of the so-called Good Friday they will feel more happy and cheerful because they are singing, and praying, and thanking God that Christ rose again from the so-called dead.
But we are so pleased and so grateful that we can come into the company of those that have made so sure that Christ did not die in vain. Those people who, through faith, through understanding, and through searching, not only for the psychic things, but for the spiritual things, have taken unto themselves and understood the message that Jesus the Christ brought to all those, who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. Those that understood and understand, not that Jesus died for him or for her, but that Jesus died to prove that this fear and this ignorance concerning death, was a myth. That the grave had no victory and death no sting.
And to come amongst those who really and truly believe this, who, whilst in the darkness of Earth can see the light of the spirit, this indeed brings us great joy.
We remember, oh so well, our days upon the Earth plane. For we ourselves, so many of us, walked in the shadow and the fear of death. And it is, to some of us here at this time, a great wonderment, that in the darkness of Earth, there are they who will find and hold fast to this very truth. For love could see, all powerful love, in the world of spirit, all those hundreds of years ago, the trouble and the chaos that the fear of death was bringing unto the children of Earth. Because a man was afraid to die, he would steal and plunder to gather unto himself the more, the move, that would put away, or put off the evil day of death. Wars are caused because one nation is afraid of being annihilated by another, and people, individuals are afraid of being killed, of dying, so they kill. And so it goes on. And as long as there is one ignorant fearful person upon the Earth, Jesus cannot truly feel that His mission has been fulfilled.
And so it is not the weeping and gnashing of teeth concerning His death which is important, but the belief and the knowledge and the realisation of eternal and everlasting life, in a proper place which one has prepared for oneself through the love of the Christ within, of the knowledge of the Christ Spirit within one's own heart.
And this truly is the joy of Easter. This knowing, this inner pence, this deep faith and understanding of what goes before. Of the future with people of like mind, with whom we shall make contact when the Earth journey is through. And because people upon the Earth, were, and are, so afraid of the inevitable, so afraid of that which has got to be, that Love came down to Earth, came into the darkness, and yet the fear and ignorance is still with you, still with you. And you see it takes long ages before this great truth can enter into the heart of a man in the midst of the dark cloud and ignorance and fear of Earth.
And this so-called Easter joy is that pearl of great price that men of understanding whilst upon the Earth, of the true meaning of the law.
And at this same time, all around you, is the springing into being of new life. And as it is in the natural sphere of nature, so it is in the psychic and in the spiritual. But Jesus, although he had lived and loved and worked and talked with these, his followers, the few, they did not understand His teaching whilst He was amongst them. But as soon as these very same people saw the living Christ after the crucifixion, they understood, and they believed.
And so it is necessary for some people to have proof. It is necessary for these little ones who cannot believe unless they see with the physical eye, it is very difficult, almost impossible, for them to believe, this natural happening, this natural change. But there are they who love, faith and understanding is enough. But these are apt to go, as it were, unto themselves, unto people of like mind and form the various small groups in your world. And they forget that there are they who need the proof.
And so we come this Easter time to thank you for your effort.
And to say unto you that for every soul that you have enlightened as regards this truth in the world, you have been a saviour, you have been a Christ, you have proved, you have taken away the sting of death and robbed the grave of its so-called victory for all those who you have helped to enlighten. And we ask you not to be afraid for the future. Because before your prayers are asked they are answered. Believe this, they are answered. Again we repeat, not perhaps exactly what you want, but certainly, most certainly what you need. And thou knowest not what your very soul needs to bring it, as it were, into the state of perfection..…
This transcript locates Easter's real message not in mourning Christ's death or celebrating a single historical resurrection, but in what that resurrection was meant to demonstrate: that "the grave had no victory, and death no sting" — a fact rather than merely a hope. The transcript is unusually direct about what fear of death has cost the world across history — theft, plunder, war, "one nation... afraid of being annihilated by another" — tracing an enormous amount of human cruelty back to this single root fear, and insisting Christ's mission remains, in a real sense, unfinished "as long as there is one ignorant fearful person upon the Earth."
Its honest observation about belief itself is worth noting: even Jesus's own closest followers, who walked and talked with him directly, "did not understand His teaching whilst He was amongst them" — only the physical proof of the risen Christ finally convinced them. The transcript treats this sympathetically rather than critically: some people genuinely need proof, and rather than judging this as a lesser faith, it gently criticises those with faith alone for tending to "go unto themselves... and forget that there are they who need the proof" — a caution against spiritual communities becoming closed circles that no longer reach the people who still require evidence.
Its closing promise returns to a note struck throughout this collection: prayers are already answered before they are even asked, though "not perhaps exactly what you want... certainly what you need" — and its warmest recognition is personal and direct: every soul brought to real understanding through years of quiet effort is treated as its own small resurrection, "you have been a saviour, you have been a Christ... you have robbed the grave of its so-called victory" for that one person, regardless of how few or unnoticed such moments might seem from the outside.
