Spiritual Light
By Rev. Paul Booth
By Reverend Paul Booth
From this world's natural sun comes natural light and heat
from which our natural affection and knowledge is derived.
Eventually a man's self love closed the light of heaven's Sun.
Thus the truths and goods that came from heaven's Sun ended.
The truths and goods were now to come through the written Word;
First it came through the ancient Word then in the Word of the Israelites.
Then came a time when the Word - the truth and good - came in flesh on earth. Over centuries, after the Word of the Israelites, another written Word came.
By Rev. Paul Booth
There is a Sun of the Spiritual World.
There is a sun of the natural world.
From this sun there comes no spiritual light
And so all were in darkness and without life.
There was no truth, no good, being without spiritual light;
"Let there be light" God spoke.
Then there was the spiritual 'light' coming from the Spiritual Sun
forming mankind into an image of God's spiritual Good and Truth.
Celestial light flowed forth.
Divine love and truth came to man forming .
him into a likeness of God. This was the celestial man on earth.
Spiritual good led him as well as did spiritual truth.
So, mankind was now not merely spiritual, but celestial.
Still, while on earth mankind was not separate from natural life.
Over time they came to desire this earth's light - natural thought and affection.
And the light of spiritual Sun faded and man saw things naturally..
Spiritual darkness again came upon the earth;
Save only a little light remained in the minds of certain men.
In time that remaining spiritual light seen now in written Word grew
spreading across the earth into different religions and beliefs.
Over time, the spiritual light again dimmed and at length went out.
And the world was in total spiritual darkness,
And mankind was dead as he was before and was
without any goodness or truthfulness
Then a 'great light' appeared on earth again to mankind.
Though, few recognized this spiritual light, having rather loved darkness;
having chosen this world's light of his own understanding.
And the world soon plunged into the dark ages
Where is that 'great Light' from the Sun of the spiritual world?
Many still wait for it, others wait for it's return to come and guide them.
Look my people, look, the 'Light' has already come again;
It shines through a New Word - the Word of the Divine Human. Few have seen it.
Like in the ancient days when man was spiritual it
shines through this New Word, now even brighter
enlightening all those who turn to it in love;
enlightening all who turn in love to God and their neighbor

- There is a heavenly Sun; just as there is a natural sun.
From this world's natural sun comes natural light and heat
from which our natural affection and knowledge is derived.
- In the beginning mankind received the heavenly Sun's love and wisdom.
Eventually a man's self love closed the light of heaven's Sun.
Thus the truths and goods that came from heaven's Sun ended.
- And a man's spirit or his interior was closed to heavenly light.
The truths and goods were now to come through the written Word;
First it came through the ancient Word then in the Word of the Israelites.
- In those times many religions arose and had their doctrines.
Then came a time when the Word - the truth and good - came in flesh on earth. Over centuries, after the Word of the Israelites, another written Word came.
- This Word revealed the story of the Word that had come in flesh. It told of the Divine coming in a human form and of overcoming temptations; thus of making His Human Divine; becoming the Divine Human. The Divine and human were united; and a man could become joined with heaven through faith.
Over time, another Word came; this was the Word of the Divine Human, who was the Lord glorified. His work on earth had been completed, and now it was also in the spiritual world, which had continually turned from the Divine as man did from the truths and goods that were taught in the written Word.
This new Word reveals an internal, a spiritual sense to the written Word and to itself. The correspondences between heaven and earth is shown
- Today, through this New Word of the Divine Human one may have new light from heaven. And when this light or truth is believed and followed spiritual heat is received which is filled with Divine love. In this way one's spirit is again opened to understand spiritual truths and goods and the person enter into heaven.
