I’ll call his attention to the 87th Psalm: “And the Lord records as he registers the peoples,” and he said, “This one was born there.” It’s all about birth. There are only seven verses in it…it’s a small short psalm. But this is the birth, not of a physical birth, this is a spiritual birth: “And this one was born there.” I can say to him, you did the perfect job that I knew you would in challenging the Lord’s angel, the recording one, for to sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of us all. No coward can be used in his stable of studs. I can say from the way you worded your letter that you have been born, but the perishing vegetable memory has not brought it back; you have been born from above. You have had other experiences that would imply an adumbration, but from this letter I would say you have been, but memory has not brought it back. I’m convinced of it, from your letter, for it’s all in the past, it’s not present and certainly it’s not future the way you worded the letter. For you know your birth date which is physical and it’s September 19th, 1927, and he denied that was the day of your birth. To deny that was the day of your birth would imply you were born in the spirit world, because he represents not the physical world but the spiritual world. So I would say of you, you have been born from above.867 ¶6
