Introduction I sent out an email recently. It’s been a while since I sent out an email to everyone and the reason for the email was that I wanted to address some of these issues people have regarding how they process their emotions. In particular how they process their emotions about things that I say. Because what I find happens is a lot of people listen for a period of time and then I say something that really grates badly, that really annoys them or upsets them, or is very personal, and instead of letting themselves sit and settle into those emotions, what they have a tendency to do is to really overreact with that emotion and live in the emotion, which is actually not the Divine Love Path by the way. (00:00.49) So remember all the things I have talked to you about the Divine Love Path so far have all been about owning your own emotions, allowing yourself to settle into your emotions, feel your emotions, process your emotions and then when you do that, when you’re in that state of complete ownership obviously God can connect to you far better. Unfortunately a lot of people haven’t got that message yet and so they respond quite angrily and get upset with me, which has been happening unfortunately for the last four or five weeks for some; I have got quite a lot of different messages over that period of time. And, even though at times you don’t send me the message, trust me when you feel it, I feel it, and so I just want to remind you of that. And so every time you get upset and angry with me I’m feeling that, I can feel who it is and what they feel about it and why and obviously sometimes there’s hundreds or even thousands or sometimes, in the case of spirits, there’s millions of them doing that at one time, which can get a bit overbearing. (00:01.45) Participant: Don’t you get the good ones too? Of course I get the good ones too, but unfortunately because I’m still working through unworthiness the bad ones have a greater effect on me, so that’s the way it goes. (00:01.59) Now, do all of you have a handout for today’s session? Today’s session is about longing for Divine Love. And what I wanted to do today… This is probably the most important piece of information you could ever tell any single person, that you could ever discuss, of anything to do with God. 2. Understanding how to receive Divine Love is the most important truth of the universe Now, the reason why I have left it this long to tell you this… and you’ll know that I have told you many messages over the last eighteen months, for many of you who have known me for that long, about receiving Divine Love and how you receive Divine Love and so forth. The reason why I have waited until now is that it’s really important that you understand the emotions inside of yourself and you understand your own soul before you actually get some of this information. And so that’s what I have been doing for the last eighteen months, basically preparing your soul for the reception of the most important truth of the universe which happens to be today; what we’re going to present today. (00:03.04) Now many of you already know it, because I’ve discussed it on many occasions before, but today I want to discuss it in detail. And in fact the detail that I’ll be providing today is not the normal and I’ll even go further into detail to it in coming discussions. The reason why it’s so important is because without this one thing your soul cannot expand beyond the sixth sphere. So this particular discussion is all about how you can eternally expand as an individual. Whether you are living here on Earth or you’re in the spirit world, this information is the most important information you could ever receive. But it’s connected to God, and when we hear the term God, many of us still have this shudder sort of feeling, where we feel, “Oh this God stuff, it’s all getting a bit too religious for me,” and we start going down that track. (00:04.03) 3. God is an entity with whom we can have a personal relationship with My internal viewpoint of God is a mixture of things and one of the things I internally view God as is, it’s a scientific fact to me that God exists. And later down the track we’ll be talking about, and I’m not talking today, I mean down the track in later discussions, we’ll be talking about how we can actually prove to ourselves that God exists. The information you receive today is one of the ways you can prove it because it’s the reception of Divine Love when you ask for it that you start receiving it and you start feeling the changes within you, and if you can start trusting that emotionally, it’s going to prove to you the truth that actually God exists. (00:04.47) And God doesn’t exist as some kind of far out nebulous sort of energy source, it’s not like that at all. God is a personal being, an entity, with whom you can have a relationship. So for example, if you were just thinking for a moment, if you thought of God as an energy source then God becomes like an electricity plant. If you think of God as just the energy of the universe, then you can think of God as the electricity plant of the Universe. Now do you have an emotional relationship with your local electricity plant? You don’t, do you? You might have a bit of an emotion about it when you plug in the power and turn on the switch and nothing happens, then you might have an emotion, but you don’t actually have the feelings of love go to your electricity plant and feelings of love come back from your electricity plant. Those kinds of things just don’t happen. And this is the problem if we can see God as being some kind of energy system of the universe, then we have a very, very incomplete viewpoint of God and also it’s going to be very, very difficult for us to connect to God. But if we see God as a being, who is my Creator, your Creator, and we start connecting to God on a very, very loving and personal basis, now we have a love transaction that can occur between ourselves and God. (00:06.20) So what I’m going to suggest today and one of the reasons for the discussion today is to address this emotional issue that some of us have that God is still not real to us, but rather God is some kind of far off concept. What I’d like to do is, instead of thinking that way, pull it back into this; God actually being your parent, a person if you like that you can connect to, that you can emotionally connect to and receive love from and give love to. And if you can start conceiving God in this manner what will happen is that the relationship between you and God can be established. (00:07.07) So for every spirit who’s listening to our discussion today… there are still many spirits who don’t believe in a God, they don’t believe in a personal God. Or they believe that God is some kind of punishing, vindictive God, because many of the spirits who attend our sessions in the spirit world are in the hells of the spirit world so they feel like they are being punished by God. Which is not actually a truth, but it is something they believe inside of themselves. And so what they do is they go down the track of either feeling that God exists but is the punishing wrathful Father, or going down the track of, “No, God’s just an energy source,” not really understanding the universe at all. (00:07.50) So what I’d like to encourage you to do over this session today is to start conceiving God as a person whom you can connect with; your best friend that you can connect with. And that’s how I’ve felt about God ever since shortly after I was born and started to feel about these things that are universal. (00:08.15) 3.1. Message from Loss Trenos in the Padgett messages Now in the handout that I’ve given you, on page five there’s a message that I’d like to read to you. The reason why I’d like to read it to you is that this is a summary of many of the messages that are in the Padgett messages. Many massages are like this. I wanted to read one that is quite concise so that you could get the idea of what Divine Love does to your soul. (00:09.00) So this is a man Loss Trenos, who lived in Spain during the Inquisition of the Catholic Church, and he is in the Celestial Heavens now, but he wanted to talk about some of his experience while he was on Earth and when he was in the spirit world. So here he goes. “I am here, Loss Trenos. I am the spirit of a man who was murdered in the Inquisition of Spain because I would not declare that I believed in the false and damnable doctrines of the Romish Church. I was a student of the Bible and I learned that the church was not teaching and enforcing the true doctrines of Jesus and I would not surrender my beliefs, even to save my life. The unholy and devilish priests and persecutors wracked my body and tortured my mind and at last tore me asunder but my soul preserved its faith and came to the spirit world in the fullness of its belief, all unspotted from these false teachings of the church. There were many who were tortured and killed as I was because they would not recant.” (00:09.06) So this man was torn apart, physically torn apart; that’s how he died. “When I became a spirit in all the vigour of my manly strength and greater, but I did not find myself in Heaven as I expected for I did not know what the great Love was, but yet I was not in such darkness as some of my persecutors who followed me into the spirit life. Of course I was more or less human and when these church devils came into spirit life and found themselves in hell, I naturally rejoiced and enjoyed for a time their suffering condition of hellish torment and used to visit them and charge them with my murder. But after some years I realized that such satisfactions as I thought I experienced did not give me happiness, or help me to progress and I became sympathetic and tried to help them, which was not easy to do at first. As I continued to help them, I found that my soul was being benefited and that I was gradually getting out of the darkness in which I had been living. And so I continued this work until at last, I came into the light and knowledge of the Truth that by helping and trying to love my enemies I was helping myself. I will not take the time in relating to you my fortune in meeting some spirits who I know possessed the great Love of the Father and how they taught me the way to this Love, but I will only say that I am now one of the redeemed children of God and the possessor of that Love and have my home in the Celestial Heavens. And to show you how wide and all embracing this great Love is I must inform you that some of these very priests and minions of the church who committed the outrages of which I speak, are now in the Celestial Heavens also, and of course the possessors of this great Love. All their sins having been eradicated by the merciful workings of this Love in their souls. Of course they suffered the torments of the damned when they first came to the spirit life and for a long time afterwards, but the Love of the Father and his Mercy were sufficient to wash away even their sins. So from this you will see there is no sin so heinous and deadly that the Father’s Love will not destroy, or rather destroy the effect of it. You must excuse me for intruding as I have, but I saw that you had the gift of receiving communications from this side of the great divide and I wanted to try the experiment. I am a redeemed child of God and can never thank him enough for His Mercy. So with all my love I will say goodnight, your brother in Christ, Loss Trenos the martyr to a belief that was not true belief, but not so violent and ungodly as the one he renounced.” Obviously Loss Trenos wanted to make a few points about that. (00:12.52) So, what we see in the experience of this spirit is what we see over and over again with many, many spirits. I’ve talked to literally hundreds of thousands of spirits who have progressed from the hells of the spirit world and after slowly progressing many of them have even reached the Celestial world, which remember is from the eighth sphere or above. Now remember from the scientific or technical point of view, the eighth sphere is like an eighth dimension, it’s the dimensional space of existence. The first sphere is the first dimension and another dimensional space of existence. The first sphere is the darkest sphere and as you progress so does the light increase, but the only reason that the light increases is because the love increases. So that’s why it feels brighter, it feels nicer, as you progress. Now remember in all our discussions we have said there are two ways of progression? What are they; what are those ways? There’s the natural love path, which is developing the love inside of yourself, then there’s the Divine Love Path, which includes the natural love, but is actually receiving God’s Love into your soul. (00:14.06) 3.2. Reluctance towards hearing about God Now today’s discussion focuses on receiving Divine Love into your soul. Remember I’ve said God is an actual being of which there is scientific evidence and proof, which we’ll provide in time to you, and in fact one of the goals of the fourteen who’ve returned is to actually provide you complete truth about the existence of God. But once that truth is provided, that often gives you more faith that you can have a personal relationship. But at the moment what’s facing each one of us is that we don’t necessarily have so much faith about the existence of God, but we love hearing a lot about the truths of the universe that I’ve been discussing with you. (00.14.50) So what I’m finding is, for many of us, you’re fascinated when I talk about spiritual matters, you’re fascinated when we talk about channelling and all those mediumistic type things. You’re fascinated when we talk about the human soul and how everything works and you’re fascinated about the emotions and how they impact upon your children and all these kind of things. But when it comes to talking about two primary subjects, which by the way are the two greatest truths in the universe, which are the importance of Divine Truth and the importance of Divine Love, for many of us we feel not as emotionally connected to that discussion. Have you felt that yourself, like, “Oh I’m not feeling this so much?” The reason why that is the case is because we are so used to doing all the metaphysical stuff, we so used looking at and examining physics and metaphysics. By physics I mean the actual physical life, from a physical or mathematical point of view and by metaphysics I mean the actual spirit life using similar sorts of techniques. And so now there are lots and lots of information being bombarded at you from all over the world of proof that there is life after death. (00:16.04) And there’s all this information about the integration between the two lives, the spirit life and the material life and there’s all this information available to you, but the greatest information, the information that is going to make your soul progress the most, is often the information that we’re the least interested in, which is quite sad really, isn’t it? So what I’m trying to do today is allow you to contemplate that perhaps there’s some information that is the greatest information that you could be contemplating. What I’ve been noticing that many of you now post things on the forum and Mary reads the forum, probably a lot more than I do, and we often discuss it because Mary is often fascinated with what’s going on, aren’t you, babe? And so what happens is Mary brings up something and we discuss what’s happening on the forum. But what I see is happening a lot of the times is, for example, when the issue of, “Shall I have pets on the Divine Love Sanctuary?” comes up; there’s a whole long list of postings, maybe fifty or sixty of them. And when the issue of eating raw fruit and vegetables comes up there’s a long posting about that. But as yet I haven’t seen much posting about the soul, the actual, the deepest truths are still being skipped over by many of us, can we see that? Now why are we doing that? Can you see that our focus is still very much on the physical, rather than, or on the metaphysical and less on the soul? (00:17.36) What we discuss today is about the true soul development that each of us needs to do. And that soul development is about love and there’s only two ways you can grow in love. One way is by developing the natural love in you and every single religious format on Earth basically does that. They help you develop the love that’s inside of yourself for others. It also helps you develop morally, so that’s why most religious formats have different moral guidelines. Which often then become rules, which often then become, “You must not…” or, “You must do…” but in the end they are still moral guidelines that can help you to progress. But there are very few religious formats that focus on the relationship that you can have with God, without having religion. Because you do not need to have religion to have a relationship with God! Religion is just man’s creation trying to define God. And what we want to do is find out what God’s definition of God is. Wouldn’t that be much better? (00:18.42) 4. Jesus’ teachings about prayer in the 1st Century So, when we were on Earth in the first century, what happened was, that there was this time of development for myself which went for nearly thirty years, and then once I could feel myself in that condition of at-onement with God, I then started to do what was called a public ministry; what I called the public ministry. And what would happen in that public ministry was that John the Baptist would go ahead of me into a town and he would prepare the town morally in natural love. So he would help that town, he would speak openly to the town and lots of people would come around him; he was a very, very good speaker, far better speaker than I am. And so lots of people would come around him and he would have these long discussions with them about developing natural love and as that occurred, lots of people’s hearts were opened to love, just developing the natural love. (00:19.37) And then a month or so later I would go into that town and I would speak primarily about the Divine Love, because usually a person needed to be opened a bit to love at least before they could hear the truth about Divine Love. And so after a while there came to be a group of people, similar to yourselves really, that when I went to speak somewhere then a group of people would come and we’d sit down and talk about a certain subject. So it wasn’t anything planned, or anything like that, it was just the Law of Attraction at work. I’d go to a certain town and the people who wanted to listen just gathered around and away we went; a lot of times gathered on the side of a mountain or the side of a hill or sometimes I was actually in a boat across the water, and all sorts of things occurred. (00:20.24) But one of the things that would happen in each case is that there would be a group of people that really wanted to practice the truth they were hearing. And so they would always want to come along with me wherever I went generally. So they would just follow me wherever I went and we would finish up having a camp. And eventually there would be up to a hundred people in that camp who would follow along and we’d talk about all sorts of things. (00:20.48) Now one time we were near the Sea of Galilee and we had just finished talking to a whole group of people. There’s a mountain near the Sea of Galilee called Mt. Tabor, and we walked to the foot of the mountain after talking and then I wanted to walk to the top of the mountain. So all of the others just followed me! Often they followed me way behind me and I don’t know why... but what would often happen was that they’d all get discussing something that I’d said, similar to what you do actually. They’d all discuss something that I’d said, “I don’t know if can agree with that. I don’t know if I can believe that.” They’d go through all that, but they wouldn’t tell me that of course. (00:21.30) So I’d know that that’s going on, and so a lot of times I’d be walking ahead and eventually when I met Mary she’d be with me but the others would be talking about things behind us generally. Anyway we went up to the top of the mountain and usually what I like to do, is I like to pray in places that were important to me and Mt Tabor was important to me, from the time that I was a child. And so we would sit there under the top of the mountain and I would usually go off to be private and pray. In this case Mary wasn’t with me yet and so there was mostly a group of male disciples with me at that point because a lot of the female disciples didn’t come with me until Mary was with me. (00:22.15) So there was a group of men basically all sitting around and they were all talking and I came back from praying and sat down with them and they asked me what I was doing, and I said, “Well I was praying” and they all went deadly silent; so total silence. And then Thaddeus, who was one of them, said, “Can you tell me what praying is? Because I don’t know what praying is. I’m sorry but I don’t know what praying is,” or words to that effect. (00:22.46) And so what ensued then was a discussion about prayer, which is the same discussion that I have been having with you over the last few months. Remember we’ve talked about prayer firstly in terms of what it is, remember our first discussion about prayer, for those of you that were here for that, it’s about a longing from the soul and how it has to be in truth and harmony with desire and passion and all those kind of qualities of prayer. (00:23.11) So we’ve talked about that and then the last time we got together we talked about how prayer is actually harmonious with truth, there has to be truth involved, so you can actually long for truth or pray for truth. So whenever I use the word pray, if that’s too religious for you, just use the word longing, or having a passion for; if you can think of it that way. I have a passion for the truth; that’s a prayer. Whatever you have a passion for, will be a prayer. Now if it’s in harmony with love; the prayer will be heard by God. If it’s not harmonious with love, then the prayer is usually heard by a lot of other people in the spirit world who are not very harmonious with God and they help you go in the opposite direction. So, all this depends on what kind of harmony with love the prayer is, as to who listens to the prayer. But it’s all longing, passionate longing. (00:24.05) And so we sat down and I actually described a sample prayer to them and the sample prayer that is mentioned in the Padgett Messages is almost the exact sample prayer that I discussed with them. It’s not in the Bible, because most people didn’t understand it by the time they got to write it in the Bible, so what you ended up with in the Bible, was: “Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom...” All those kind of things and very little of that was what I actually put in the original prayer. (00:24.38) The reason why I want to discuss this prayer with you is because it actually shows you many of the reasons why we are not connecting with God. And every single reason why we’re not connecting with God needs to be addressed and the beauty of the prayer is, it reminds you of the reasons. And if you have a feeling in your heart, you will actually start feeling those reasons, inside of yourself when you are praying. (00:25.07) 5. God designed the universe to draw us to Her What I’d like you for a moment to picture that God is not only your Creator, but God is your friend. And you have the ability to connect with God, and God always wants this connection with you. In fact the way God designed Her Universe was in such a way that every single thing that happens to you is there in order to draw you to her. So, all the laws that have been created are laws that have been created to draw you back to God. How many of you have heard of the Law of Attraction? The majority of us have heard of the Law of Attraction. That’s a law that’s there that God uses to draw us back to God. The Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Desire, The Law of Compensation, The Law of Karma, all of these different laws are laws that God’s established in order to bring us back to God. (00:26.44) 6. God desires a personal relationship with us So God wants you, God wants your longings. There is only one thing that God can’t get because of the way she designed Her Universe, there’s one thing that God does not have control over. Do you know what that is? Well it’s actually your soul. God doesn’t control your soul, because your soul has free will. In particular there is one thing God would love to have from you, and that is your love. But that is a gift that you can give God, it is not something that God expects from you and it’s not something that God demands of you, but it is something that God would dearly love to have from you. Many of you are parents? So you understand that when you have a child you would dearly love your child to love you. You love the child, but you would also like the child to love you, wouldn’t you? That’s how it is and so this is how it is in the relationship with God as well. (00:27.48) So if you can think of God as not only this awesomely powerful being, who is your Creator. I feel God is my king; to me, God is everything. Not only is God those things, but God is this parent or friend that I can connect to, and God wants your connection. You don’t have to give it though, and God’s not going to punish you if you don’t. So you know a lot of these religious formats teach you that God will punish you if you do this, and punish you if you do that, and obviously that’s not the case at all. God’s just waiting. God’s constantly acting though in order to give you love, but whether your soul receives that love or not, depends on a number of different things, which we’ll look at in the prayer. But God is also constantly waiting for you to love her and to actually want a relationship. (00:28.48) Just like when you meet a person, let’s say, if you cast your mind back when the first time you met somebody that you eventually fell in love with. At the time you met them you didn’t love them straight away generally. But what happened is over time you wanted to get to know them; you felt what you would call a passion inside of yourself, or a longing inside of yourself, drawing you to them. Isn’t that how it worked? And as that passion or longing was drawing you to them what started happening then? You started wanting to spend more time them, you started wanting to know them more, you started trying to find out more about them, and it’s exactly the same with your relationship with God, exactly the same. It doesn’t have to be based on a religion; you don’t ever have to see me again. It’s got nothing to do with me; it’s got everything to do with your desire, your passion, for this connection between yourself and God. That’s what it’s all about. (00:29.45) Now the way that this connection works remember is that, so here’s God. I’ll draw God as a soul, with masculine and feminine qualities. There’s God, God’s got Her Divine Love. Here’s your soul. You are really a half of a soul, but that’s another discussion altogether. There is a connection that can be established between you and God. Scientifically the way it works is that there’s an energy pathway that can be established between you and God that is like a power connector. So you’ve all, most of you have heard me say this before, there’s an energy connector, and the reason that I’m going over these very basic things again is because I want you to understand that this is the most powerful thing you can understand at the soul level, and many of us think we understand it, but are not yet really understanding it, so I want to go over it again. (00:30.49) 7. The Holy Spirit transmits Divine Love into our souls when we are in Divine Truth This connection, historically, I called it the Holy Spirit. The reason why in the first century I called it that and that’s what most Celestial spirits now call it, is because spirit means a force that is connecting two things together. And the reason why I called it the Holy Spirit was that it’s the only force is that God has that actually transmits Divine Love into your soul. From a scientific perspective, what actually is going on is that you’re getting pumped full of Love, when this connector is connected. (00:31.42) The Holy Spirit, which brings Divine Love to our souls from God, can only connect when the soul is in Truth From a love perspective, which is actually a higher perspective than any scientific perspective, what’s actually happening is that God’s emotion of love is entering you via this connection and that’s why we often call this connection the spirit of truth. It’s not actually the truth, because God has other spirits, but the Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth in the sense that, without truth the Holy Spirit can’t connect. In other words you have control of the connection, based on how much truth you’re in. And I mean how much Divine Truth you’re in. And I don’t mean how much intellectual truth you’re in. I mean how much emotional truth you’re in. Now they are two totally different things. You see often what we can do intellectually, is that we can believe one thing and emotionally we can believe totally another thing. (00:32.36) 7.1. Understanding truth at an emotional level transforms our lives How many of you in the past have been in a Christian faith in the past? A good three quarters of the audience, okay. How many of you when you were in that faith believed in hellfire? Like you thought you believed in hellfire. Quite a few! How many of those same people when you really think about it now, you never really believed it? Because oftentimes we say we have a belief here (AJ points to his head) but it never actually enters here (AJ points to his heart). So, many of you never really believed in hellfire even when you were practicing a religion that believed in it. (00:33.10) Now, how many of you actually have heard of the Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit? Okay. How many of you actually believed it to be a truth, when you were in the religion you were in? Far fewer, so obviously what we have in our head and what we actually feel are two totally different things, aren’t they? (00:33.32) Often I ask people the same about animals. How many of you feel it’s okay to eat meat? Now most of us at some stage in our life felt it was okay to eat meat? And yet how many of you have personally killed a lamb? Who’s personally killed a lamb, in the whole audience? Two, three, people! Only those people really know what it feels like to do it. The rest of us get somebody else to do it for us, which distances us emotionally from the act. If we actually had to go and do it personally, don’t you think we’d have a lot more emotions about it, than we probably have? (00:34.16) So you can see how sometimes our belief system, our intellectual belief says, “It’s okay to eat meat”. But when you go to kill the animal, let’s see whether you still have that same intellectual belief. Because there is a feeling in you that says, “This is terrible. This is bad,” and that feeling starts coming out. It’s the same with all these truths. Unless the truth enters you emotionally, it’s not really a part of you. If it’s just an intellectual concept for you then it doesn’t change your life and it’s not a part of you yet. (00:34.55) When the truth becomes an emotional concept for you it will absolutely transform your existence. And this is the primary, the highest truth you will ever receive. And when I say ever receive, I’m not saying that down the track in the future there won’t be some higher truth than this, because that’s a possibility, but from where I’m standing right at the moment, my feeling is, everything else is based on this one truth. So whether we even receive another truth from God, which might be something to do with another quality of God sometime in the future, it’s all going to be dependent firstly on whether we received this one, the Divine Love. So from my perspective it is the highest possible truth that you could ever connect to emotionally. (00:35.42) But most of us are not connecting to it emotionally. Most of us are connecting to it as a concept, but are yet to really let ourselves feel the connection that we have between ourselves and God on a moment by moment basis; in other words, it changes our entire life. Because most of us are afraid, for whatever reasons and most of us are afraid of our friends and what they’ll say and think. We’re afraid of our family, what they’ll say and think, and so forth and so forth, we’re afraid of society and what they’ll say and think. You know, “Oh we can’t do that, it’s not practical to connect with God every single day, all day, because in the end you’ve got to go to work.” But you see we are not understanding yet, the truth is that when you connect with God and you are permanently connecting with God, your Law of Attraction is so powerful you won’t have to work. You know, you’ll be able to actually grow a tree right in front of you and pick the fruit and eat it; you don’t have to do anything to do it. That’s what happens in the spirit world, why can’t it happen here? (00:36.41) So the truth is that God has all these wonderful things planned for your soul but they’re all dependent upon your development in Divine Love. That is what they are all dependent upon. And the development in Divine Love is dependent upon your how much you’re willing to live in truth. How much you’re willing to live not in your truth, but God’s Truth, at the emotional level. Not intellectually, but in your heart in truth. (00:37.10) 8. The importance of praying for Divine Love for soul progression Alright, what I started to describe to them on that mountain was this connection, that God wants to have with you at the soul level, and the connection was about your emotions and passions and desires, being influenced by this connection so much that it transforms your life. And after I had that talk, the average person who was present at that talk that I gave on Mt Tabor never prayed for the next six months. In fact the majority of the disciples that I knew, the male ones in particular, never prayed the entire time I knew them. Even though I spoke of prayer as the primary thing to do, and demonstrated how to do that. So that’s why when I passed many of them weren’t in the development. It was only after then, when they started feeling their emotions that they started understanding some of the things that they started to actually have that longing for God. (00:38.14) Participant: AJ, when you were saying they never prayed at all, was it that they attempted to pray and it was unsuccessful or that they had no desire to even attempt it? For many of them, there was no desire to even attempt it. They were like most audiences, they loved all the metaphysics, they love the healing, they loved all of those things, but they didn’t get this personal... They didn’t get why I could do those things and why they couldn’t. And it was because of this connection with God. But, for others what it was is that they attempted it, but they attempted it from their intellect all the time, and after a while they became very downhearted because nothing was happening. Because to be honest with you, every time you “pray” to God in your intellect, it raises this high; just the same height as your head is. It doesn’t go anywhere else because your heart’s not involved and it’s your heart that God feels and hears. (00:39.21) So, for many of them, there were a few who prayed, like the Apostle John for example prayed and so by the time I passed, John was one of the most developed persons on Earth, aside from my soulmate, because he learnt to have that longing. Participant: So you’re saying that after you gave them that talk they were inspired to pray but they didn’t grasp what that meant and so it didn’t succeed? Many of them weren’t even inspired, because they felt the same way that many of you do. “Oh here we go again, it’s all just religion now, it’s all just like, God stuff, and I’m not interested in that.” (00:40.01) You know, that is how many of them went. They were so interested in all the other things, but the primary thing that I was teaching that was this thread through every single illustration I ever gave, was often neglected. Now I’m not saying all of them did that, but I’m saying the majority of them did that. Participant: So why do you think that was, couldn’t they grasp it? Didn’t you explain it properly, or didn’t they know how to make the step? How many of you feel that God is real to you? Really, honestly! Alright, so there is about half. Now how many of you feel that every moment, that God is real to you? Now we’re getting down into the tens. How many of you actually live your life every single day like God is real to you? Participant: What does that mean though? Well that means that every single thing that happens to you… you think about your relationship with God and how it affects you. See that doesn’t happen very often. Participant: Is it all or nothing? Yes. How many of you felt, “Ugh,” when you heard that, when I said yes? Participant: Now unless you get to that point you’re nowhere? No, you’re not anywhere, because remember every single time when you learn a new truth and you feel about new truths, you’re expanding your soul. You’re not nowhere, but until you actually understand that your relationship with God is the most important relationship you will ever develop, any single time in the universe, until you understand that, at the soul level, at the emotional level, then you’re not yet getting the Divine Path. (00:41.43) Participant: How do you get to that point? Only by developing desire and the prayer is about developing desire. So when we talk about the prayer in more detail in a minute you’ll see that it is about developing desire and understanding what’s going on within yourself, and how God connects to you. So that’s what the sample prayer is really all about. So my suggestion is to allow these desires to build and develop. Many of you have heard the information eighteen months ago about connection with God but many of you are feeling really frustrated still about the connection not happening for you. It seems to be happening for some people but obviously for many of us, it’s not happening. Now there’s a lot of reasons why and next week we’ll be having a talk about “Emotions of Self-Deception,” and there’ll be a whole big area there, where you’re preventing your connection with God, that we’ll talk about. So the key is to understand those things, but the primary understanding that needs to get to us at the soul level, is this understanding that God loves you, God is a real person, a real being who loves you. God is going to be, for many of you, the closest relationship you will ever have. And when you have God as your closest relationship every other relationship will be enhanced because of that relationship. Your relationship with your soulmate for example will be enhanced. (00:43.06) 8.1. “All these other things will be added to you” If you think about it, for any person who doesn’t have that, they can only progress to the sixth sphere of the spirit world. In the sixth sphere of the spirit world there is no soulmate union. You are together with your soulmate experiencing life with your soulmate, it’s much more enhanced, but it’s not much different to spending time with a person that you love here on Earth in a sexual union. What we’re talking about in a soul union state is the twenty second sphere state, so there’s huge progression that needs to occur between those two states and at that state, the two of you are one, in all things. (00:43.42) Now those two states are vastly different and that comes about from your relationship with God. Nothing else can give you that, other than your relationship with God. Now, in the first century I said, “All these things other things will be added to you,” if you develop your relationship with God. So every single thing you’re that you’re worried about right now, many of you might be worried about where to live, how much money you have, what kind of relationships you have with all sorts of people around you. What kind of relationships you have with children, partner, whatever, your work situation and so forth. These are the worries that bombard you in this world that we live in? All of those things will all be sorted out, if you put as number one, this relationship with God. (00:44.29) All of these other things will come to you because your Law of Attraction will markedly change as you work through things with God. So, many of the things you currently worry about that you think are real are actually not even real. When you’re at-one with God, you will never even think of them again. And that doesn’t mean that you’re blank when you’re at-one with God because it’s actually the opposite, when you are at-one with God. You are in fact the most powerful being you can be. But, you will not ever have a fear-based thought in your life again. How joyous is that alone? (00:45.10) 8.2. Self-reliance vs. God-reliance Participant: AJ, are spirits who are perfected in natural love like that as well, or do they have fears and doubts and worries? Certainly they have fears and doubts, but remember they’ve used their minds and their morals to develop in love. Sometimes what has happened is, the emotions are still unsettled underneath the surface, and one of the greatest emotions that a sixth sphere spirit has, is one of self-reliance. Self-reliance means you’ve got to create everything for yourself. (00:45.44) Now, many of you feel that feeling of self-reliance so strongly that you feel like you know that no one’s going to help you in life, right now. There are many sixth sphere spirits who feel exactly the same, they’ve enhanced and developed their natural love but they still don’t feel that God loves them. They still don’t understand the connection with God, and so they are still really in a state of fear, because they can’t let go of their own self-reliance. (00:46.34) Now when you let go of your own self-reliance that’s a huge transition that occurs and when you let go of that you start creating far more powerful things, because now God can create them with your soul development. God can create them rather than you just doing it for yourself. (00:46.27) Participant: But do they understand that that’s what they actually need to do, or are they just asleep to that fact? 8.3. Understanding truth at the soul level No they think they understand. You see many of my audiences even now think they understand. But as yet don’t understand, because we’ve got the words coming in here. And then what happens is, “Oh yeah, wow, that makes sense to me. Isn’t that wonderful?” Many of you have had those realizations. “That makes sense to me, isn’t hat wonderful. Wow.” And then you go away and tomorrow do exactly the opposite of what you recognized today was wonderful. Why did you do that? Because there’s an untruth inside of you emotionally, that is actually driving you, that hasn’t changed. And it’s what’s inside of this soul emotionally, that is the real truth. This is why many of us can be absorbed in this intellectual simulation of truth, but if it doesn’t change me inside of my heart, inside of me emotionally, I will never really understand it. (00:47.37) Now if I could give you an illustration. You could actually sit down with a man who’s a mathematician. I’ll say a man because most men are renowned not to understand love, although I don’t agree with that, but that’s the general opinion of most women. And, he’s a mathematician, so most mathematicians are very much in their mind, aren’t they? Usually that’s the thought that most people have. I don’t agree with that either, but that’s what most people have. So there’s this man who’s a mathematician, he’s thirty years old, he’s never been in love. So if you imagine that for a moment. And you’ve got to describe to him what love is. How are you going to do that? (00:48.18) Now you might come up with a thousand words and even some pictures. Because a picture tells a thousand words, so you might come up with a hundred pictures, a thousand words or two, and at the end of the day is he going to understand what love is? No, because he is yet to feel it. He is yet to experience it. You see with every single truth I’ve ever told you, unless you’re actually experiencing it and feeling it, you do not yet understand it like you think you are. And this very much applies to this, unless you’ve actually received Divine Love, and many of us haven’t as yet, because we are still working through emotional blockages to receiving love. So we don’t really notice the reception of love that is only coming in, in little tiny little drips, or not coming in at all, because there are still these emotional blockages suppressing this love connection. Unless we’ve actually felt it enter us we will not understand what it was. (00:49.22) 8.4. Our emotional injuries impair our relationship with God Participant: AJ, I’ve just been thinking about this and my concept of God when I was little was the man in the chair and the big white beard, which kind of helped me in a way, because it made Him real to me. So it made him personal at least? Participant: Yes. But now I’m thinking why can’t I make Him personal to me now? And when you said about trying to see God as your Mother and Father, I’ve also tried that, but I just realized that because I didn’t have a close emotional relationship with my own mother and father...” Exactly! Participant: That doesn’t seem real to me either so I can’t connect to him emotionally… Exactly! Participant: … using that way. Can you see why I’ve spent so much time talking about your mother and father injuries? Because really what it’s leading us to is this connection with God. You see if we have injuries with our mother or injuries with our father, or let’s make it a little wider. If we have injuries with the opposite sex, or injuries with ourselves or the same sex, then any of those injuries affect your relationship with God. And that is going to continue that way and this is where we need to start, right at the start of our development, at the start of receiving Divine Love. The greatest quality that we need is a quality of faith. Now, I’m not talking about some religious thing again, what I’m talking about is a quality that’s inside of you, that you can develop, that every single person is able to develop and that’s this quality where we can actually believe something’s possible without yet knowing it. Do you understand what I mean by that? (00:51.11) 9. The importance of faith for connecting to God 9.1. Faith is based on real evidence So, for many of you on a purely physical point of view you can see how that might occur. For instance the Wright brothers, who you know got the first plane off the ground in a documented sense, they had a belief in something that very, very few other people had. And that was that they had these theories, that they felt inside of them were truth, they just couldn’t work out how it worked. And then after a while they worked out that if I design this wing, just like this and it creates a vacuum, they could start understanding the science of it and then it would created lift, lighter at the top than underneath, and actually the amount of lift would actually get above gravity if we did that. Then they started to put that into practice and when they did the first flight there, their faith was proven to be reality. That’s what happened to them. (00:52.10) And to be frank with you every single scientific development in history has had this process. Where, the person at the start had faith in something that very few or no one around them had any faith about. The reason why you can fly right now is because somebody had faith, the reason why you can watch telly right now is because somebody had faith, and the reason why you can do all sorts of these technological things you can do right now is because somebody before you had some faith. They had some faith and if we define the faith as, they felt something to be true inside of themselves that nobody else around them thought was true and that they personally couldn’t prove to be true at that time. (00:52.54) Now why is that quality so important with God? It’s because many of us don’t have a good enough concept or an accurate enough or scientific enough concept of God to even understand God’s existence. And we don’t even have enough understanding that God would actually have Love even sometimes. So what we’ve got to do is start having some faith. And what that faith needs to develop is that, if there is a God, and if this God cares, and if this God wants to connect with me, “Can you please give me some of your Love?” That’s the faith that will motivate that first connection. So there are many spirits with us today who have no faith in God whatsoever, or no faith that God is actually a God of love. And that’s what they need; they need to at least allow this quality of faith to develop, just like any person in history has had to allow the quality of faith to develop before an invention came along; it’s the same principle, exactly the same principle. It’s not a religious principle; it’s a principle of life. The only way the human race has developed is by somebody having faith about something and then they made it. (00:54.09) Participant: If I imagine God to be the parents that I always wanted to have, then I could create emotionally the God that I could connect to? Yes. Now you have to be aware that that concept may have to change as God actually tells you about Herself. But in initial phases, even if you just say to yourself, “What would I want as an ideal parent?” And then you start conceiving God as that ideal parent, and then when you start longing for that ideal parent’s love, see what happens. It's a scientific experiment. If you feel like you’re receiving love, you'll know it. (00:54.51) 9.2. Receiving Divine Love is a physical connection that occurs between God’s and our soul Now many spirits in the spirit world can actually see the connection, there is a physical connection that occurs between God and them. There's actually an energy stream that gets set up. The Holy Spirit is an actual energy stream. You could think of it like, if you want to make some kind of concept, this is not true, but if you can think of it like some sort of concept like a little wormhole coming from somewhere to a person, this little cord coming. And in the spirit world you can actually see it coming when the person has an actual desire or a longing, a pure longing for God's Love. (00:55.25) Now the problem we have here on Earth is you can't see that. All you can do is feel it. Now when I say it's a problem, I don't really believe it's a very big problem, because at some point you've got to start trusting your own feelings. At some point, when are you going to do that? You might as well start with this one, start trusting the feeling of love entering you from God. So, what I'm saying is, see God as the most ideal being you could ever perceive, with regard to love. And then start projecting at that being, the feelings that you want to have a relationship with them. (00:56.08) That's what prayer is. And that's what I was talking about with this group of people in the first century and that's what I've been talking about ever since. The reason why it's such a simple concept, it's such a simple concept a child can understand it, and yet the majority of people think it's far too simple, so, “I'm not going to do that. I would rather go along to a mediumship class for three months, talking about how to talk to a spirit and I'd rather do this and I'd rather do that, and I'd rather do this other work and be involved in all these metaphysical things than actually develop myself with love.” (00:56.43) What I'm suggesting is do the opposite to that. Focus on your love development first and let everything else slide. Because as you develop your love, you're joy will increase, your wonder will increase, everything will increase if you focus on the love first. (00:56.59) 9.3. Lack of faith that God loves us blocks our connection with God Participant: If I have plenty of faith that God can love, but no faith that God can love me, that seems to me to produce a block that God can't get past? Exactly, it does. We'll talk about it that block in a minute, as part of the prayer. What Karen was saying is that if I have no faith that God can love me, but I have faith that God can love, then obviously I am blocked from receiving that love and there's good reasons why actually, Karen, why I'm blocked in under those circumstances and we'll talk about some of them when we read the prayer itself. (00:57.43) 9.4. Being angry with God Participant: I had to really admit that I was really angry with God. Admit it to myself first, and then in admitting that I was really angry at God, and well, vengeful and raging at God, then I had to come to a point where I wanted that to change but didn't know how to. And then, from there, I was drowning in that for a long time, hanging on to it, because that's all I really know. Yes. For many of us when we hear the term God even, we shudder. How many times has that happened in your life before? You know, you start hearing someone talking about God and you start getting into a panic. There are all these fears that all rise just even hearing the term God. So these are the types of emotions we need to deal with first, before we can connect to this being who wants to give you her love. (00:58.55) Participant: So from then I had to admit to myself that it was actually really God that I was really angry at for everything that had ever happened to me. So you had to start getting into truth. Participant: Yes, and then I was really surprised. Really, really surprised, because I did not have an understanding at that point, that the desire that I had in my heart, because I'd never done it before, I'd never really longed to such a deep level, but I didn't know I was. So we can actually be in a religion for years and actually in that religion feel a deep rage with God, for all that time, and all of a sudden someone comes along and says, “Oh, you're actually angry with God.” That anger with God all that time that we were in the religion meant that we weren't probably receiving Divine Love during that time. Even though we probably went to a church, or went to some kind of talks, and talked about it and you know, you feel the buoyant spirit you feel about it, hearing about it, but because of that blockage, the emotion doesn't get received. So we'll talk about all of those emotions in a minute actually when I go through the prayer. (01.00.08) Participant: So then I was so keen not to believe that I was worthy, of having God touch my soul and when it actually happened for the first time, nobody was more surprised than what I was, that God’s actually there, a real being, and loves me regardless of where I’m at, if I simply just admit to myself and then be prepared to just want something different. And I’m still working through all of the anger. What I’m trying to get at is, it didn’t seem to matter that I’m still in lots of anger. (01.00.59) Yeah, that’s right, it doesn’t. Because it’s the truth that matters, it’s the truth that controls the connection, so as long as you admit the truth, now a connection can occur. What most of us are doing at any one time emotionally is we are denying the truth and while we are denying the truth no connection can occur; this is why truth is so important and this is why I’ve presented prayer in the way that I have. Remember the first discussion about prayer was about the physical and scientific possibility, the second discussion about prayer was the discussion of longing for truth, in other words getting ourselves in alignment with truth because truth means that we can connect to love. Then the third discussion, the one we are having now is, “Right, let’s see how this works with regard to love and let’s see how we can start utilizing what we’ve learnt.” So let’s do that now. (01.00.52) 10. The prayer for Divine Love What I would like to do now is actually read through the prayer, it’s on the last page of the handout and what I’m going to do after I’ve read through the prayer, is I’m going to go through it again, step by step to show you the principles that the prayer highlights and we’ll discuss them. So the prayer is, you can say, Our Mother or our Father (if you prefer that), or my parent who’s in the Heaven We recognize that you are all Holy, and Loving and Merciful and that we are your children, and not the subservient, sinful and depraved creatures that false teachers would have us believe. We know that we are the greatest of your creations and the most wonderful of all your handiworks and the objects of your great soul’s love and tender care. Now can you see already that there are quite a lot of emotions that we would have to work through to even feel that? We know that your will is that we become at-one with you and partake of your great love which you have bestowed upon us through your mercy and desire that we become in Truth your children through Love and not through the sacrifice and death of any of your creatures. We pray that you will open up our souls to the inflowing of your Love and that then will come your Holy Spirit to bring into our souls this, your Divine Love in great abundance, until our souls are transformed into the very essence of yourself and that there will come to us faith, such faith as will cause us to realize that we are truly your children and one with you in very substance and not in image only. Let us have such faith that will cause us to know that you are our Father and the bestower of every good and perfect gift and that only we ourselves can prevent your Love from changing us from the mortal to the immortal. Let us never cease to realize that your love is waiting for each and all of us and that when we come to you in faith and earnest aspiration, your Love will never be withheld from us. Keep us in the shadow of your Love every hour and moment of our lives and help us to overcome all the temptations of the flesh and the influence and the powers of the evil ones who so constantly surround us, and endeavour to turn our thoughts away from you, to the pleasures and allurements of the world. We thank you for your Love and the privilege of receiving it and we believe that you are our Father, the Loving Father who smiles upon us in our weakness and is always ready to help us and take us into your arms of love. We pray this with all the earnestness and sincere longings of our souls and trusting in your Love, give you all the glory and honour and love that our finite souls can give. 11. What Divine Love does to the human soul Now what I would like to do is talk to you about the principles that are here, the emotional principles that are here. But before I do I would also like to talk about what Divine Love does to you, so that you’ve got an idea of what it was going to do to you if you decide to receive it. What happens when the Divine Love flows into the soul, through the connector if you like, the power point if you like of the Holy Spirit, is that the soul begins a process of getting larger and expanding. 11.1. Divine Love expands the soul’s ability to love Now the way the soul expands is that it expands emotionally, primarily. So what that means is your capacity to experience emotions and passions and desires expands and it continues to expand exponentially. So what that means is that every time you go into a new sphere of love, what’s happening is your soul has just expanded in its power to actually give and receive love and in its power to do everything else. (01.05.54) 11.2. Divine Love expands the soul’s ability for mediumship So let’s say you are a medium right at the beginning of this process. You can talk to spirits. As your soul’s expanding your soul now has this capacity to talk to spirits ten times better than you did before and then as it expands again it is a hundred times better than it was before and as it expands again. (01.06.04) 11.3. Divine Love expands the soul’s ability to express its gifts If your gift is music or if your gift is art, or whatever your gifts are, as your soul expands your gift or ability to do these things will also expand. The soul itself has an infinite capacity to expand but only under one condition, and that is that it receives Divine Love. 11.4. Divine Love allows the soul to progress beyond the sixth sphere of the spirit world If the soul doesn’t receive Divine Love, the soul cannot expand beyond what it was originally created as, which is a normal being, a normal human. That’s why any person who doesn’t receive Divine Love stops in their progression at the sixth sphere of the spirit world. It actually ceases to progress beyond that, because to progress beyond the sixth sphere your soul needs to expand and the only way your soul can expand is by Divine Love entering the soul. (01.07.06) 11.5. Divine Love transforms the soul into a new creature with greater capacities It’s by the Divine Love entering the soul that transforms the soul into a new creature, it changes the way the soul works. When you started, when you were first born, you could say that you were just a normal man or woman, a normal person at the soul level. I’m not talking about what you physically look like; I’m talking about at the soul level, which is the real you. You’re just a normal soul, a normal person the way God created you to be. By the way that is a pretty amazing place because that’s the sixth sphere location place that was originally created and so that’s an amazing place to be. So I’m not decrying the amazing capacity of the soul in its normal state, but what I’m saying is that as soon as the Divine Love starts entering the soul you now become abnormal, in a good way. (01.07.58) The way you become abnormal is your soul now has the capacity to experience emotions far more than it did before, and the more Divine Love you receive the more capacity the soul has. When we receive Divine Love our soul expands and changes from being “normal” to “abnormal” As you receive Divine Love your soul physically is changing. This is a scientific fact, by the way, and later at one point we will actually prove to you when we are in the twenty second sphere state, which is the only place you can prove this by the way. So all the other states until the twenty second sphere state you cannot prove that this actually happens to the soul because you can’t see it happening to the soul, but when you get to the twenty second sphere state you can actually see your soul and when you get to that state, you will see the soul expand and it will be proven to you that it is a fact. (01.08.48) 11.6. The soul is capable of shrinking as well as expanding Participant: I think you partly explained why I feel like I’m going insane sometimes because the soul is expanding. Can the soul actually shrink? Yes, totally. Every single time you do something that is not in harmony with love, your soul shrinks. This is how the hells were created, because the soul shrinks and shrinks and shrinks until they were creating hardly anything at all, which was the darkest location of the spirit world. Yes your soul can shrink and in fact for many of us on Earth, we start out when we were just a new born babe in quite a good state and then our soul begins shrinking because of all the decisions that are made for us by our parents and shut downs emotionally, and then we make a lot of decisions and our soul shrinks and shrinks and shrinks. And to be frank with you there are many persons who pass into the spirit world who believe they don’t even have a soul at all, because they can’t even feel a single emotion. (01.09.50) Participant: Can it diminish out of existence? No. It can never come out of existence as far as it is known. So it can shrink to an almost infinitesimal tiny pinprick if you like, but it can’t actually go out of existence. And it can grow from that point to this huge expanded place as well. So in the Padgett Messages there are many messages from people who are in the hells who have said that their souls feel like they’ve shrunken or shrivelled up. In fact there’s a message there from the Roman Emperor Nero where he said his soul was a shrunken, shrivelled soul. And it began to expand once he started receiving Divine Love. So, yes your soul can shrink. And your soul can expand. (01.10.38) So as your soul expands, the only way it can expand is by receiving Divine Love. Now when I say the only way it can expand, I mean above the natural state, which is above the sixth sphere state. So obviously our soul can expand to the sixth sphere state if it is a shrunken soul here on Earth and then it expands, we can expand to the sixth sphere state without receiving Divine Love. But that sixth sphere state is actually your natural state. That was the state God originally created you in, and it can only grow above that state as Divine Love enters the soul. (01.11.13) 11.7. Our souls control every aspect of our lives So Divine Love has the operation of changing your soul in so many ways. It also changes the way you interact with your body. Now, right at the moment your soul has complete control over your body. You think you have control over your body with your mind but that’s not true actually. You try it, how many of you have gone on a diet and not lost weight? Why did that happen? If you had control over your body with your intellect and with what you are pumping into it with food, why did you not lose weight? Well something else was going on. It’s because your soul has control over your body and it’s your soul’s emotions that determine whether you lose weight, or whether you put weight on. (01.11.59) How many of you have got a disease, and then you’ve gone down the track of trying to change all these physical things and you still have the disease? That happens all the time on Earth, doesn’t it? We die of diseases like that. Where we’ve done this, done that and we still degrade in our physical sense because we do not understand one truth and that is, you don’t have intellectual control over your body. The soul controls your body. The soul is your feelings, your emotions, your inspirations, your passions, desires and longings and all those things, that are what’s in your soul. That has control over your body. That even has control over every word you speak, every action you do, every accident that happens to you, every thought that ever goes on in your mind, all goes on because of something happening at the soul level. (01.12.49) So, it makes sense then that if we develop this thing, everything else will develop, doesn’t it? These truths can be proven, all you need to do is put into the practice the truths and see whether it turns out to be true, whether your capacity expands. So in other words let’s say I was a medium and I decide alright, “Instead of going to all these mediumship classes and all these metaphysical things and all that, what I’m going to do instead is I’m going just to develop in Divine Love and then see what effect that has on my mediumship.” So, that’s a verifiable thing you can do in your own life, just to prove whether it works or not. (01.13.29) You can prove it with your Law of Attraction. You can prove that there is this thing called Law of Attraction, quite simply, by saying, “Alright, if I do what AJ says and focus on the soul creating my Law of Attraction. Right at the moment I’ve got no money, so there’s an emotion in me creating that. So what I’m going to do, instead of trying to go out and work and trying to get more money, and do all the things I would normally do, what I’m going to do instead is I’m going to focus on releasing this emotion from my soul that causes me to feel the way I feel about money. (01.13.59) 11.8. Divine Love transforms our soul into a “supernormal” soul with much greater power Now you can do that and see then what happens after that, can’t you? It’s verifiable, you’ll be able to see that and if you change nothing else you’ll be able to just change the soul’s emotions, but the way that you do that is by experiencing them. But then as the soul receives Divine Love we are now getting away from the soul’s normal capacity to experience everything and we’re becoming this “abnormal” soul, or I would call it actually a “supernormal” soul. In other words the soul now has this ability that we never had before and when you get into a state of at-onement with God, which is a transition between the seventh and the eighth sphere of the spirit world, this abnormality becomes very pronounced, because now you have a connection with God one hundred percent of the time, sleeping or awake. Now in that state, that is a state where you can create amazing things, because now your soul has expanded literally thousands of times in its power to create. (01.15.04) This is how one soul in the first century created all the changes in the last two thousand years that happened, because of the soul’s power to create. There was no telly, there were no videos, there was no worldwide communication, but all of you have heard of me? Why? Because the soul has the ability and the power to create that! One soul, your soul, has the ability to create that. This applies to every single person on this planet and every single person in the spirit world. Your soul has this ability and power of immense creation. (01.15.50) Now that only happens through the operation of the Divine Love flowing into the soul. So it’s important to understand that it’s the Divine Love flowing into the soul that actually creates this expanding soul that actually creates this expanding love that you will be able to reflect to others, that will be far beyond the normal love that you would ever be able to reflect to others as a normal soul, as a normal person. Because it’s actually not your love, it’s actually God’s Love flowing through you and out to others, obviously. (01.16.30) 11.9. Divine Love exposes untruths within our souls Can you see how the soul is transforming you. Sorry, Divine Love is transforming you? The Divine Love also has the operation of actually focusing on every single untruth that exists within you. So absolutely every single thing that you currently believe is going to be confronted in this process. You will half the time not even know who you are anymore, because you have some very, very tight concepts in your mind of who you are, which are not true. And you will start losing all of those concepts about who you are, when you progress as the Divine Love enters you. 11.10. Divine Love allows us to grow infinitely You will also have this infinite capacity to give. Obviously when I say infinite, it’s going to be very finite for your soul depending on how much Divine Love you’ve received, but in the end, because we have this infinite capacity to expand, we also have an infinite capacity to give when we are in this state of infinite expansion. I hope that made sense, it didn’t make much sense to me either! (01.17.44) What I’m trying to say is if your soul can expand in an infinite way, then obviously your capacity to give is also potentially able to expand in an infinite way. And so at the moment spirits in the sixth sphere still have energy going out of them and they feel depleted at times, which is a normal thing, because we’ve got energy going out and we’ve got to recover our energy. As the Divine Love flows through us, we have more and more capacity to give without actually being depleted. (01.18.15) 11.11. Divine Love allows us to reach a state where we forgive instantly And we get into a state where we also can forgive instantly. So how would that be? Something happens to you, somebody comes up and actually shoots you in the leg lets say, and you actually instantly forgive them. So in other words you don’t actually have an emotion of anger or resentment or anything about what they’ve just done. You imagine being in that state. That’s a pretty powerful, joyful state to be in, that nothing negative that can happen to you will actually feel like it’s harmed you. That’s what the Divine Love does for you. (01.18.56) Now there are literally, and I’ve listed on the first page of the seminar outline, lots of things the Divine Love does. So under the section of, “What the Divine Love does to the Human Soul”, I’ve actually listed a lot of the things that Divine Love does to the human soul and there’s a few there that I haven’t mentioned either. What is happening to the soul is that it is becoming so sensitive to everything around it. So the reason why I can feel many of your emotions and I even can actually hear many of your thoughts is because the soul becomes more and more and more sensitive. Your soul will do the same as you receive Divine Love; there’s no difference. It doesn’t matter about the person, what matters is receiving Divine Love. All of a sudden you will get all of these things different things happening to you because your soul is expanding in its sensitivity and its emotional expression. (01.19.54) 11.12. Receiving Divine Love increases joy in our lives Its ability to love is going to grow and obviously our joy is directly proportional to the love that we have within us. So obviously the more love we have, the more joyful and happy our life is going to become as well. That is also a part of this receiving Divine Love into the soul. Can you see the advantages of doing it? A few of which I’ve mentioned. (01.20.21) 11.13. Receiving Divine Love allows us to become at-one with God Now the reason why we need to look at the advantages of doing some things often times is because we forget, and when you’re in the throes of your own emotional experience and you’re working your way through some really deep and dark negative emotions there is this tendency that we have, to forget why we’re doing it. And the reason why we’re doing it is because we want to be closer to God and receive more love and be able to express more love to others; that’s why we’re doing it. And our soul has this beautiful ability to grow, in fact once we’re at-one with God, the Divine Love creates the state of at-onement with God, we go through this process called the new birth. Now it’s not a religious experience, although some people would call it a definite, “way out there” experience. It’s not a religious experience or religion isn’t involved in it. (01.21.15) It’s a process where your soul has now been transformed so much that it’s now no longer the normal person, it’s the supernormal person the abnormal person. What actually happens in that state is your mind now ceases to really operate as the controlling force of you. Now at the moment, for all of us the mind is very dominant and controls a lot of our actions and a lot of our responses. But the more we progress in Divine Love the less that happens until we get into this state where the only thing that happens is what we feel. We do exactly what we feel at every single moment. Which means you don’t have to think of anything at all? That’s also what the Divine Love does in transforming your soul. (01.22.10) It gets you to the place where you don’t have to think at all and everything that you create is automatically harmonious with love and based on your complete desire. Your thoughts just come, bang, bang, bang, bang from the soul, you feel like… how can I describe it? It’s hard to describe it sometimes. Obviously it’s something I’ve experienced in the past and I’m not experiencing now as much and the difference is terrifying to me sometimes; how much I think about something when, if I was just feeling in the soul I’d be creating all these different things all at once, which is what my state was that I’m used to. (01.22.50) So, if you could just picture that, that every single thing you feel, creates instantly around you. So, you feel hungry, you have food right there. You feel like you want to visit somebody in Canada. You feel it and you’re there. There’s no delay between those two experiences, the feeling of it and you being there. Imagine that state, that’s the state of at-onement with God. You feel something and you’re there, there’s no break in between, there’s no delay, everything gets created instantly as you feel it. (01.23.27) So you’ll actually notice this more and more as you progress on the Divine Love Path even before that state. You’ll have a feeling and all of a sudden something will happen. This happens to me quite often now where I have a feeling, “Oh I’d like to talk to so and so,” and they ring me up. And that also probably happens to you at times, that is already happening. So you imagine your soul’s ability to expand more and more and be able to create that constantly. Everything around you being created like that. (01.24.10) The soul has these wonderful abilities that are only activated by Divine Love. You know, have you ever done anything with resins? I don’t know, many of us probably haven’t, but the principle of a resin is that, you have a resin and then you have the catalyst. The resin is like a liquid that you pour into something and then when you add the catalyst the resin goes hard. The catalyst is the substance that transforms the resin into a totally different state. So, you know there are lots of different products that man makes based on that principle. Even things like Araldite, how many of you have used that? You’ve got two tubes; one of them is the catalyst for the other one gluing. And you can think of the Divine Love as the catalyst for all transformation that will occur in your life. Divine Love is that catalyst, without it you will only ever be the resin; you will only ever be in one state. With the Divine Love you will be completely transformed into another state. (01.25.16) 11.14. Spirits in the sixth sphere of the spirit world Participant: You were saying before about spirits in the sixth sphere who travel to any place or manifest anything they want and are basically in a state where they can just do anything that they desire… Yes, but their desires are very limited. Participant: How do they get beyond that state into the state of feeling and creating the way you were just describing? Only by receiving Divine Love! When they receive Divine Love, one of the first lessons they have to learn is the lesson of truth. Most spirits in the sixth sphere have then to regress and go back to the third sphere and learn the lesson of truth. And we’ve talked about the lessons of truth in the past discussions. I think it was in the past discussion we had, “Relationship with God - Longing for Divine Truth”. So almost every sixth sphere spirit who has not received Divine Love will need to go back to the third sphere and begin learning lessons that they didn’t learn when they were there the first time. And so they will have to actually regress in their progression and start learning the Divine Love lessons that they could learn in these different locations. (01.26.31) Participant: From spirits that already know the lessons, or from God? Well both. Obviously all learning comes from God in the end, but mostly we learn because somebody else has told us something and then we put that into practice, and then we start receiving Divine Love and that’s in the end the best way to be taught. But often we need to first go through this feeling about the truth thing first. So, many of you probably were not aware in your life on a conscious level that Divine Love was available to you at your asking at any time. Somebody had to tell you that that was the truth and then you thought about it and you thought, “Ah, this is worth experimenting with, this is worth thinking about a bit,” and then when you start thinking about that you start putting it into practice and then you start feeling it and then you can start validating whether it is the truth or not. (01.27.23) And that is the exact process that these spirits in the highest spheres of the natural love progression, from the sixth down, need to do. They need to allow themselves to start conceiving… in fact there is this thing that they believe they know about already but they’ve never experienced. Just like the mathematician might believe he knows about love, but he has never experienced it so he doesn’t know yet. And once they get to the state of feeling it then they’ll also start living in more truth and they’ll start feeling the emotions. Most sixth sphere spirits are quite detuned at times from their emotions. (01.28.01) So they’re very in tune with their emotions about creating new things because that’s fun, but they’re very detuned from their other emotions, such as their desire for self-reliance, which is an emotion. They’re quite detuned from that so they need to work their way through those kinds of things. Many of us here on Earth do to, need to work our way through those things. (01.28.21) Participant: Are they kind of addicted to one aspect of manifestation but not the other? Yeah. Well you think about it, if you can create most of the things you think you want, you’d be pretty satisfied with yourself wouldn’t you? But if you can’t conceive in fact that you could be creating in a totally different way, then you won’t know that you can do it. Like, how do you know what you don’t know? And every sixth sphere spirit is in a state of “I don’t what I don’t know. I only know what I know.” And that’s what they put into practice, but they don’t know, what they don’t know and all of us here on Earth are the same. I know it’s a bit of a sort of little stretch to get the mind around that statement. You don’t know what you don’t know. In other words you can’t even intellectually conceive the things you don’t know, let alone feel them. (01.29.22) So a sixth sphere spirit in the state of not even being able to intellectually conceive what this state of emotional existence is like, because they are only used to this intellectual state of existence. They’re used to using their intellect, their mind, their morals, developing in love that way. They don’t know what they don’t know. (01.29.40) So what the Divine Love does is it expands your faith. Remember just before I said every single new development that occurred on Earth, occurred because somebody had faith that this imagined thing could become a reality. Well for many sixth sphere spirits they think they already know what the Divine Love is, so they don’t bother investigating it at the emotional level. See this is a problem for many of us too. When we think we know something and have yet to experience it feeling-wise, we think we can ignore it. “Oh I know that already, you don’t need to tell me about that,” is often the response we have, but in reality we are yet to feel it. So most of us have heard of the Law of Attraction, but how many of us are totally focused on what it’s doing moment by moment in our life? Very few of us, if we were we would be progressing very rapidly. But we’re often totally ignorant of what the Law of Attraction’s brought to us at any one moment because we automatically think, “Oh I know about that, I don’t need to learn anymore about that.” It is this automatic dismissal thing that we have, which also sixth sphere spirits have a tendency to have. (01.31.06) So because they dismiss it all intellectually, or they can’t even conceive it intellectually; they don’t think it exists. There’s no scientific reason or no scientific basis they feel, that they can prove; to prove it exists. So what they do is they don’t bother with the experiment. And all the experiment is, if I have a passionate longing desire for God’s Love to enter me, it will enter me. That’s the experiment. I’ve had spirits in the sixth sphere try that experiment but they thought they could generate a desire intellectually. So they’re there trying with their mind, “I want to receive Divine Love, I want to receive Divine Love,” and not receiving any, and then they say, “Oh no, you’re not telling me the truth”. And yet in the same group of spirits I might have been talking to, some of them understood, that it needs to be a feeling, an emotion, and those ones automatically receive it and they automatically move on. (01.31.58) So even then we are so locked in to our existence for a long time generally to this mind being our dominant force and we’ve got to get away from that to the emotions being your dominant force. The soul expands emotionally, not intellectually. I’m no cleverer than I ever have been. But my soul is a lot cleverer than it was and it’s always constantly growing. Intellectually I mean I’m no cleverer than I ever have been. (01.32.33) 11.15. Receiving Divine Love without being aware of it Participant: AJ is it possible for a person to receive Divine Love without knowing about it intellectually? Yes, totally possible. In fact the majority of people on Earth who have received Divine Love have received it and not known how they did it. For example, many of you might go along to a musical, like a symphony orchestra. How many have been to a symphony orchestra? It’s quite a wonderful experience. So you’re sitting there and all of a sudden the emotion of the music just overcomes you and you just go into the state of wonder and disbelief really. How many of you have started to have tears running down your eyes in that state? Yes? You were receiving Divine Love right then. How many of you have sat down with your child and felt this so overwhelming connection of love that you just cried? (01.33.38) Participant: When they’re sleeping. Okay, when they’re sleeping? We’ll talk about that one but hopefully when they are awake. And what happens there oftentimes is there’s a huge amount of love just causes us to open up and then our emotions just start flowing and often in that moment we’re receiving Divine Love. And how many of you were members of a Pentecostal type of religion in the past, like a Christian type religion? Very few, okay, there’s been a few. Those kinds of people often experience when they go to one of those churches, and my suggestion is to go along to one and see whether this happens to you. Just allow yourself to get involved with the music and the feeling of it rather than what they’re saying, because what they’re talking about, the Trinity and this and that all these things, you don’t need to worry about that so much. All you need to do is go into the feeling, go into the feeling of it and you will find in many cases you will feel God’s Love enter you and all of a sudden the tears will come and flow and you will actually feel this sense that you are closer to God, right at that moment. (01.34.47) Now most people do that over their life sometime, so many of us have received either a smidge of Divine Love at some time in our life; it’s rare for us never to have received any Divine Love. But the problem is that we don’t understand how we’ve received it and we didn’t even understand what was going on at the moment we received it. So then we don’t replicate that process. What I’m trying to do is describe to you the process of replicating that over and over and over again, which is prayer. That’s what it is; it’s a longing, a passionate longing and desire from the soul. So do we all understand the mechanism? If you can think of it as the science of receiving Divine Love and I know it’s been perhaps not that emotional at this point, our discussion about it, but at least we understand the mechanisms, because all of us are trying still to understand intellectually many times before we actually put something into practice emotionally. So do we understand the mechanism of what Divine Love is? And how it actually works and how it transforms the soul? Does everyone get that? (01.35.56) Now what we are going to do after a break is we’re going to talk about the prayer itself and what type of emotions you’re going to be focusing on, in order to feel these emotions of longing for love entering you. The reason why we want to do that is because as we understand what emotions are preventing the connection between myself and God, we can begin to deal with each of those emotions in a conscious way. And when I say in a conscious way, I’m not saying in an intellectual way, but rather in an emotional way; exercising our desire and longing to work through those emotions. Because it’s the emotions, that prevent our longing from actually connecting. And it’s our longing that drives how much love we receive. So we need to understand that process. (01.36.52) Longing for Divine Love: Part 2 12. The prayer for Divine Love What I’m going to do is just briefly go through some of these things about the prayer itself. I’d really like you to focus on the emotional parts of this prayer. So when we look at the prayer itself, the prayer for Divine Love, the first line of the prayer is: Our Father who is in Heaven, we recognize that you are all Holy and loving and merciful and that we are your children and not the subservient, sinful and depraved creatures that false teachers would have us believe. 12.1. We are not inherently sinful, but are perfect creations of God Now one of the main things that prevents our connection with God is this internal belief that the majority of us have on the planet today that we are in some way inherently sinful by nature. In other words, “There’s something wrong with me. There’s just something wrong with me, I don’t know what it is, there’s just something wrong with me and God’s never going to want to connect with me.” That is a huge emotion inside of us that we need to allow ourselves to start connecting with. (00.01.43) It’s that emotion actually that is like a block. The reason why it’s like a block between yourself and God is because it’s not God’s opinion of you. God’s opinion of you is that you are this beautiful, radiant, fantastic, wonderful, most awesome creature that God has created; that’s God’s opinion of you. Your opinion of you and God’s opinion of you will match one another when you’re at-one with God. So in other words when you’re at-one with God you’re going to feel inside of yourself that you are this awesome, radiant, fantastic creation of God. (00.02.21) It’s not a state of arrogance; it’s a state of truth. You are this awesome creature that God has created. You see God doesn’t create anything other than awesome creatures, which you happen to be one of. But what happens is this emotion inside of you (and you look at how much religion has played on this emotion) that you are sinful by nature, the emotion that there is something inherently bad in the human race. These emotions are now a part of us, now a part of the human race and it’s one of the primary emotions inside of us that prevents our connection with God. (00.03.03) So when you pray and long to God, if you can’t feel that you are this incredible creation of God, then long for God to show you that you are, long for God to teach you and God will teach you by helping you release the emotion that’s the opposite of course. So you’ll need to be willing to feel terrible in the process and allow that emotion to be released from you. You see also God is merciful and non judgmental. There’s this common belief and there are literally billions of spirits locked in the spirit world in different spheres who still believe that God’s a punishing God. (00.03.48) 12.2. God is not punishing nor wrathful So whenever we hear of the term God nowadays on Earth a lot of times what we’re hearing inside of us emotionally is this concept of God that is so damaging in our relationship with Her. We believe that “He”, as we usually refer to God as, is this vindictive and punishing and wrathful Father. “And if you don’t do exactly what I say, I’m going to make you pay,” is what the emotion is, that we feel God has toward us. And often when we are going through painful experiences, that is exactly what we feel, that God is punishing us for whatever we have done. That is not true by the way. So these are untruths that need to leave us emotionally. (00.04.40) So it’s very, very important for us to start working through a lot of these emotional untruths when we start praying. So you imagine the difference in your feelings if you could read that first line: Our Father who’s in the Heaven, we recognize that you are all holy, loving and merciful and that we are your children. If you could read that and actually feel that you are God’s child and feel that you are not sinful and depraved, if you could actually feel the feelings of that, can you see how much different you would feel about yourself for a start? Let alone feel a much stronger connection with God. (00.05.25) We know that we are the greatest of your creations and the most wonderful of all your handiworks and the objects of your great soul’s love and tender care. God is better than any human parent. So if you can imagine the very best possible parent you could have ever had, God is, of course, far exceeding that person’s qualities. So if that’s the case why would God ever want to punish you? Why would God ever want to harm you? And why wouldn’t God feel that you are the most wonderful thing that She has created? You see most of the time; it’s our own opinion of our selves that prevents our connection with God. (00.06.22) 12.3. Our feelings of unworthiness block our connection with God My opinion of myself in the first century was quite good; when I say “quite good” it was as God intended it to be. What I’ve experienced in this life is the terrible feelings of not having that opinion of yourself, a good opinion of yourself. And I am still working through those things right now, still working through and feeling about those terrible things. (00.06.48) Just recently I watched the movie “The Duchess”. Have any of you seen that movie “The Duchess”? My recommendation is to watch it, particularly if you’re a woman who has a lot of anger issues; it would help you quite a lot. Particularly anger issues with the opposite gender, it would help you connect with a lot of those. I watched this movie and I was just gutted by it. And these feelings overwhelmed me of how much I felt responsible for how badly women have been treated over the last two thousand years. If you can think of two thousand years of feeling like women are being treated badly, stuffed into one person, and then feeling that you’re responsible for not undoing that, which is the emotion that I felt, you’ll have some idea of what I was feeling. And a lot of my unworthiness with women I found was linked to that emotion. Because every time a woman came along, my first feeling was this terrible feeling for them of, “Oh, it’s so sad that you’ve been hurt so much.” Do you know what I mean? And not interacting with them in a way that’s actually loving because I’m trying to actually overcompensate, for all the harm that women have received. (00.08.05) And I connected to this harm that my soulmate had received in the first century. Mary had a very difficult life in the first century, both before I met her and after I passed. And these terrible feelings of responsibility for that just overwhelmed me, and I realized that a lot of my unworthy feelings when I was with women were all about these emotions. So I had to really let myself feel them all and release them. (00.08.36) Now as I did that, I cried I think for a couple of hours that night, and as I did that I could then feel a difference inside myself about how I viewed myself, because I’ve been viewing myself quite terribly when it comes to my relationship with women. And so that straight away started relieving that feeling. And this only happened a few days ago; I can since then feel a stronger connection of joy and a stronger connection of love with God as a result of that. Just releasing those one or two emotions! (00.09.12) So now obviously I’ve had lots and lots of unworthiness feelings to feel because there have been feelings like, “Literally millions of people have died because they’ve known me.” Just for that one reason I’ve had lots of feelings about, “If you know me, its bad news.” That feeling I’ve carried with myself until very recently and so I had to release that emotion as well. And as I release each one of these emotions, my opinion of myself improves. And as my opinion of myself improves, my joy improves, but I can also feel a much stronger connection to God as my opinion improves. (00.09.53) So it’s going to be the same for yourself. As you connect with different emotions inside of yourself about how you view yourself, your opinion of yourself will improve and eventually your opinion of yourself will match God’s opinion of you because at the moment none of you have God’s opinion of you emotionally. You might think you do, but you don’t because if you had God’s opinion of you right now, you would already be at-one with God. So we’ve not yet got God’s opinion of ourselves. (00.10.26) So that’s a huge impediment to receiving Divine Love, coming to appreciate God’s opinion of your self. And that’s going to mean you giving up your own opinion of yourself. For some of us it means giving up this inflated opinion of ourselves. For some of us it means giving up this really negative disapproving opinion of your self. Many of us are holding onto these opinions of ourselves for other reasons, and next week when we talk about emotions of self-deception, you’ll see what some of those other reasons might be. (00.10.57) But we hold onto opinions of ourselves to prevent ourselves from being the grand creation that we already are and we just don’t believe that we are this grand creation. It’s been drummed into you by religion and by society, and by politicians and by the economic system and by all sorts of means right from the time you were born, but also all through your schooling years, that if you are a grand being, you think too much of yourself. Hasn’t it been drummed into you? What do we do in Australia to a “tall poppy”? We cut him down to size. Why do we do that? Because we want everyone to think as badly of themselves as what we think of ourselves! (00.11.42) It’s a huge emotion in the human race that prevents connection with God. Allow yourself to pray about that with God and long towards God to do with that particular emotion. It’s a big emotion that affects how much Divine Love you can receive. It’s been my single biggest issue. I’ve been dealing with the issue for twelve years now and it’s been my single biggest issue and I’ve had literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of facets of it. You won’t have that many, but I’m just saying how deep the issue goes for many of us. It’s so deep that it affects our very existence and everything that we can create. (00.12.22) Your Law of Attraction is not operating as well as it could be because of this emotion. If I have this feeling that I’m unworthy what do you think I’m worthy to receive? For many of us we think we’re worthy to receive nothing. So it’s a huge emotion that needs to be dealt with in the human race and we can pray about it and long to God to deal with that emotion. (00.12.48) 12.4. God desires to be at-one with us Let’s look at the next one: We know that your will is that we become at-one with you and partake of your great love which you have bestowed upon us through your mercy and desire that we become in Truth your children through love, and not through the sacrifice and death of any of your creatures. You see God has this huge desire to be at-one with you. As yet your desire to be at-one with God doesn’t come near God’s desire to be at-one with you. Now because God’s exercising this desire constantly, all that is needed for this at-onement process to occur is for your desire is to finish up approaching… and it’s never going to match, but at least it can begin to approach what God’s desire to be with you is. (00.13.40) 12.5. Our desires that are in harmony with love grow as we grow towards God But often, what we do with it is that we believe that we come to God through sacrifice. Many of you have come to me asking me questions about sacrifice. “If I sacrifice this, will that make me closer to God? If I sacrifice that will it make me closer to God? If I give up this will that make me be closer to God?” A lot of times what we are doing is we’re just re-doing the same religious message which is, if you subject yourself to God, then you come closer to God. Now there are literally billions of spirits in the sixth sphere state who still believe this. They believe that if they subject their will to God’s will they will become at-one with God; they actually believe that that’s what the state of at-onement with God means. They feel that it means to subject their will. (00.14.36) The truth is that what is going to happen to your will is that it will expand. Your will, or your desires, will expand in their expression as you become at-one with God. So in actual fact you will be giving up less and less and less, and you’ll actually be getting what you desire more and more and more. The problem is that often what we desire right now is totally disharmonious with love. So that’s the thing that we need to learn to give up. But if we understand and we start to understand inside of ourselves, even intellectually, that when I desire things in disharmony with love, that’s what creates my pain then I will start understanding the reason for giving them up. (00.15.18) You see every single thing that you need to give up on this path is something that is creating pain inside of you. Every single thing that you will give up is actually creating your pain. None of it is creating your pleasure. Someone recently posted on the Internet, I think, that they thought they had to give up sex in the spirit world, because there’s no sex in the spirit world. Now why would God want you to give up something that is pleasurable? There’s sex in the spirit world, there’s just not sex for a lot of people in the spirit world. (00.15.51) To be frank, there are literally millions of spirits in the sixth sphere state who don’t have sex. Because they believe it’s not holy. They believe it to be wrong, so they don’t do it. You know I can feel them come and visit me sometimes after myself and my lover have had sex, and I can feel them visit me and they say, “You’re not Jesus, you just had sex”. I can feel them do that. They won’t believe me. “Bright body, yeah, that’s right, no worries, but you can’t be Jesus, you wouldn’t be having sex if you were”. (00.16.39) No, because God doesn’t want you to give up your desires. God wants you to bring your desires into harmony with Divine Love. That is what’s going to make you the happiest you could possibly be. So if I was going out having one night stands with somebody, then obviously that is going to create pain in my life. It’s also going to create pain in everyone else’s life who I’m having the one night stands with, and any children that are born from those interactions are also going to experience pain as a result of my actions. (00.17.14) But if I bring all of my actions into harmony with God’s Love, then sex can be at its highest state. Just like every other emotion that you have will be at its highest state, when you bring it into harmony with God’s Love. So for literally billions of spirits there is no sex. So they come to people on Earth saying there is no sex in the spirit world, hang on to sex as long as you can. But the reason why they have that reality is because they have these belief systems and emotional systems inside of themselves that they haven’t released yet that aren’t the truth. (00.17.53) No, Celestial spirit doesn’t have sex. Unless they are alone and their soul mate is not with them yet, then they don’t. So they have it in purity. Linda would you like to ask a question about that issue, a bit off topic maybe, but I love this sex issue. Participant: AJ I can’t understand how they can have sex in the spirit world because you’re a soul… You will find when you have soul sex that it’s actually far more powerful than the physical sex act. So the problem with having a body in some ways is that when we are not fully connected with our emotions, our body is quite disconnected from our spirit body and it is quite disconnected from our soul’s emotions. When all of that is flowing, what you’ll actually be having is not so much the physical response, but you’ll have far more powerful emotions and far more powerful physical sensations in your soul than what you could ever experience in the physical form. That is still a sexual union. (00.19.05) Participant: So why do they call it sex then, if that’s not really physical? Because that’s what we call it here on Earth! It’s the same sensations of orgasm and everything. Participant: But it’s not a physical, it’s an emotional because… Yeah, but you see almost everyone in the audience has never had this kind of sex. So all we can do is relate it to a physical response. Participant: Do you do demonstrations? No, we don’t. That is one thing you are never getting a demonstration of! Never! “He’s a terrible man, isn’t he?!” (00.19.55) These are things that you will experience in your progression, as you release the emotions that block you. Getting back to the subject of God, God doesn’t want you to give up your desires. So, all the desires will become what the spirits in the Celestial Kingdom call holy. Now holy doesn’t mean that everyone is sitting around playing harps singing Hallelujahs; that doesn’t make you holy. No Celestial spirit is like that. Every Celestial spirit has a great sense of humour but they are holy in the sense that they truly understand the joys and benefits and the actual connection with God. They feel it because they’re at-one with God they are also in this state of Divinity. (00.20.47) So every single emotion that you have will be Divine in its nature and it will be at its highest possible expression. And every single emotion that you have right now that is the opposite of that will have gone, and it won’t exist in you. Now most people on Earth then go down the track of, “Oh, here we go again, he’s just talking about utopian crap.” For most people that are how they feel, isn’t it? They just feel like this is just a utopian dream that mankind has for centuries, and it never happens. Well in the future this will happen, if we start to deal with these negative emotions. (00.21.22) See most of us are holding onto all these positive feelings for grim death. Because they are the only joys we experience in our life. So we hold onto them, hold onto them, hold onto them and often they’ve even gone by now, but we’re still holding onto them, you know, “Twenty five years ago, that’s what happened,” and they’re still holding onto it. Because it’s just such a joyous experience, so we’re holding onto it. But we don’t want to experience everything. (00.21.48) 12.6. Progressing on the Divine Love Path vs. the Natural Love Path; the example of a splinter What God is going to ask of you in this process of at-onement is to experience everything and eventually all the things that are negative and painful will be released from you. And all the things that are joyful will be enhanced and expanded in their ability to be experienced. So the process we are going through now is a bit like the process of having a splinter. Most of you have had a splinter in your life, yes? Is there no one that’s had a splinter in their whole life? I’m pretty amazed if you’ve not had a splinter. You’re very lucky person. I had one a few weeks ago; in fact I had about twenty a few weeks ago. And what happens with a splinter is a splinter goes in and you might not notice it too much at the time, sometimes. But then all of a sudden you start feeling this irritation, don’t you? Your body starts feeling this irritation. I had one in this finger just last week. I didn’t even notice it had gone in there until I looked at it and I was putting the wood in the fire, so I’m rubbing this and the splinter is there. (00.22.49) Now by this time a whole series of events goes on in your body trying to get rid of this splinter. They all happen automatically. Your body starts producing different types of substances to wrap around the splinter to cushion the splinter from your nervous system and so forth and eventually, if you leave it long enough, maybe a year to five years sometimes or in some cases ten years or fifteen years, all of a sudden, “Wow that piece of metal came out of me.” My father said that to me once, he had a splinter in him for twenty two years or something. And often that’s what happens. (00.23.26) So the splinter comes out of you in a natural way. Well I’d call that the Natural Love Path. What happens in that time you’re feeling the pain of it the entire time. But a lot of times it’s not like this big pain, it’s just this constant irritation and annoyance with occasional bouts of pain when you poke it, or when something bashes into it. Then you feel these constant feelings of pain. Most of the time you can ignore it and get yourself away from it, but sooner or later it keeps coming back to you. That’s what sin is like, sin is like that. (00.24.09) Sin is like this like this constant irritation, a lot of the times we don’t notice it. But, when we bash it, we notice it. Just like the trigger happens. Law of Attraction brings you a trigger and all of a sudden now you notice you’ve got that particular problem that you didn’t know before. Driving along the road, “I’m fine driving along the road, I’m not afraid.” Then somebody cuts you off, “Argh!” Now what’s happening is I’ve just had a fear-based response and now I’m angry at the person who created it. That’s when my splinter got touched. (00.24.35) Now the Divine Love path is this path where God just does an incision and pulls out the splinter. Now you can see if God does an incision, and pulls out the splinter, you can see that very rapidly all of the effects are all taken away, aren’t they? In that one moment that splinter is taken out. And you know you can have a splinter in your finger, can’t you? Or anywhere else in your body and the moment you take it out, instant relief, isn’t it? That’s what it’s like; you get this feeling of instant relief. So you can have this beautiful feeling of instant relief. (00.25.14) So if you imagine that God is doing this little tiny operation on you with every single emotion that’s in error. So remember all that sin is, is emotions in error, desires in error, beliefs in error that exist inside of me. So all God’s doing is this little tiny incision and pulling it out. That’s the operation of Divine Love on your soul. This is what happens, it pulls it out and you have instant relief. So that’s like the Divine Love path. When you deal at the causal level with an emotion, you will get instant relief. If you’re not getting instant relief then it means you’re not dealing with a causal level emotion. (00.26.14) Now next week I’ll talk about why we don’t get instant relief when we’re being emotional, because that’s all to do with emotions of self-deception. But what I’m trying to illustrate at the moment is the difference between progressing on the Natural Love Path and progressing on the Divine Love Path. One way is this way where things naturally occur through the Law of Attraction events and that eventually expels the problem from me. The other way God’s actually doing an incision, pulling it all out and it’s done there and then. I know what I’d prefer, just that little bit of pain, taken out, rather than this long term, nagging, irritating pain that goes on for years and years and years. Many of our spirit friends with us today have experienced five hundred years of that, if you can imagine. (00.27.10) You know what; it’s hard enough for you to experience one day of pain, isn’t it? You imagine five hundred years of it. As Nero said in his channelling in the Padgett Messages… he could write volumes about the pain, but, he said that Padgett would never be able to understand it; the extent of his pain. So he let it pass. So a lot of our spirit friends who are here today feel the same way. And so what I’m trying to illustrate is how Divine Love works. Divine Love actually can come and take these out of us. But we need to allow the experience of the cutting open of the wound, which is a painful experience. Actually the painful experience is the sin entering us and when it gets pulled out that’s the painful experience. (00.28.07) So any pain we experience in this state is either through complete denial of our emotions, or through this process of having the problem… if we can call it the problem emotion being pulled out of our body. Being pulled out of our soul, which is our real body. So if you think about it like that, God doesn’t want you to suffer. But because sin has entered us, because error has entered us, we are going to suffer on this progression. But our suffering is going to be for very short and intense periods, rather than this long, long, hundreds of year’s experience, which most people go through. There is a huge difference between those two states. (00.28.25) 12.7. Receiving God’s Love requires an open soul and living in truth Listen to the next one. It says: We pray that you, God, will open up our souls to the inflowing of your Love and that then will come your Holy Spirit to bring into our souls this your Divine Love in great abundance. You see a lot of people on the Divine Love Path think that if they receive Divine Love that that’s what opens up their soul to receiving Divine Love. But that actually doesn’t make much sense when you think about it. Your soul needs to open to Divine Love by other mechanisms, and it’s through Truth in particular that your soul opens to Divine Love. Once your soul opens to Divine Love, now the Holy Spirit, which remember is that connection of truth between you and God, can connect. Now the Divine Love can flow. And what I’ve been describing up to now, over the last eighteen months, is the process you’ll need to go through, to open up to Divine Love. (00.29.52) What I’m talking about today is how the Divine Love flows into you, but up until now I’ve been discussing primarily what you need to do to your own soul to open up, and part of it is praying to God to help you do that, to open up your soul to Divine Love. Now, what are the things that close down our soul? Well you think about it, it’s all to do with emotional or desire suppression. So when you suppress your desires, or when you suppress your emotions, you are closing down your soul, you’re not opening up your soul. So you can be praying all you like intellectually, “Please, God, help me open up my soul,” and right at the same moment be closing down your soul. So is that now a prayer? No, because it’s not a sincere desire. So my suggestion is to actually let yourself feel the fears you have about opening up your soul. (00.30.47) Now we were talking about this last night with Paula and we were talking about how many of us make decisions about something we are going to do in six months time, or in 12 months time. So in twelve months time I’m going to leave my work and find another job. Why twelve months? Because you’re suppressing your desires! Because do you think when you’re at-one with God, you’re going to suppress any desire? No. Do you think you’re ever going to say, “Oh in twelve months time I’ll do that?” No. You’ll have a feeling and you’ll do it. So why aren’t you doing that now? If you’re not doing that now, you’re suppressing your desire and so therefore you’re suppressing your soul. (00.31.36) When you suppress your soul, your prayer to God is, “Please, don’t open up my soul.” Can you see that? So live in harmony with your desires. If I’ve got a prayer to God of opening up my soul then I’ve got to live in harmony with that. Living in harmony with that means, I notice a desire inside of myself and I do it; if I know it’s in harmony with love I do it. I don’t delay it, I don’t put it off for any reason, money or otherwise. You know fear, friends, family, none of the reasons that we often put on us. Don’t put it off for that, allow yourself to follow your desire. When you’re in that state you are saying to God, day-by-day you are saying to God, “I’m open to receive your love. I’m open to experience your love.” Let yourself feel those desires and passions that you have that are harmonious with love and act on them immediately. Don’t delay them; don’t put them off. And if you can’t act on them immediately because of some other thing, have a good cry about that, because obviously there’s an emotion being triggered as to why your Law of Attraction isn’t automatically attracting that. So deal with that emotion, whatever that emotion be. (00.32.59) You see, this is the thing we need to understand in this section is that God has an abundance of love for us and the Holy Spirit can only connect to us when we live in this truth state. So many of you have had moments of living in this truth state already? But most of us don’t have it every single moment of our lives because we are compromising so many things. We are compromising in our relationships with truth, with our family, with friends, with people that we meet. Like be honest, how many of you have told your friends that you are coming to listen to a guy who actually says that he’s Jesus? So about half, now the other half, you’re not living in truth. (00.33.49) Now, you can say, “Oh, you know, all AJ’s doing now is putting some emotional blackmail on me to go and tell my friends.” I’m not actually. I’m just saying to you that, if I’m not living in truth, then I’m not activating the Law of Desire in my life. So I’m not saying you have to do anything. What I’m saying is every disharmony with truth, every cover over of truth that you do, you’re actually proving to yourself that you’re never going to get to the state of living in your desire while you stay in that state. So deal with that emotion. What are you afraid of about telling the truth? Deal with that emotion. Let yourself experience what you’re afraid of. And as you do that you’ll release the emotion. (00.34.40) 12.8. Divine Love can transform our souls into the Divine Now, notice the next section says: Until our souls are transformed into the very essence of yourself. You see that prayer is telling us what’s going to happen to us. If we receive Divine Love, and receive Divine Love and receive Divine Love, and we continue to do that, eventually our soul will be transformed and we will be like God. In the first century I would say to people quite often, that they needed to be like God. And even religiously today when people read those words they go, “That’s totally impossible”. No it’s not, it’s not impossible to be like God because that’s what happens when your receive Divine Love to the at-onement state; you become like God. You become like God in all of your emotions, and desires and passions. That doesn’t mean you are God, because you’re still God’s child. But you become like God in the way in which you express everything, that’s what happens to you. And as that happens to you, you’ll find all your joys will expand and all these beautiful experiences will expand, because of you being in that state. (00.34.50) 12.9. Receiving Divine Love increases our faith And then I said: That there will come to us faith, such faith that will cause us to realize that we are truly your children and at-one with you in very substance and not in image only. You see the Divine Love entering you causes you to have more faith that God exists. So for many of the spirits who are here today who don’t believe God exists, or believes God’s wrathful, if they just allowed themselves to open up to love and open up to this loving feeling, and longing for Divine Love, what would happen is God’s love would enter them and they’d straight away confront that belief, wouldn’t they? But see a lot of times what happens is we stay in a belief that prevents us acting and we stay in that state for ages, and ages and ages, many times hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, just because we don’t want to act. (00.36.48) This is one of my major problems at the moment is, I’m so afraid of how big things will get that I’m trying to keep them at a certain level. Do you know what I mean? I’m trying to keep everything at a certain level because I’m afraid that it’s going to get really big and I don’t think I’m going to cope with that. There’s an emotion in me that causes me to feel that. It’s just a fictitious emotion, I know that, but it still feels powerful, until I release it. And that’s how it is for your life too. Often there’ll be lots of these things that are limiting your life and you’re not going to have faith until you stop allowing them from limiting your life and start acting upon the truth and see the change. But we’re often so afraid of change. We are often so scared of how good we’re going to be. And that causes us to actually step back from practicing the truth. So the prayer confronts that feeling within us. (00.37.46) 12.10. Receiving Divine Love to the point of at-onement with God transforms us into immortal souls Then it says: Let us have such faith as will cause us to know that you are our Father, the bestower of every good and perfect gift and that only we ourselves can prevent your Love from changing us from the mortal to the immortal. So firstly, before you experience Divine Love to the point of at-onement, you will not be immortal. What’s immortality? Immortality is this gift that God gives when you become at-one with Her, that you can never, ever, ever die. Your soul can never die. Until that time it is not known whether your soul will die or not! The reason why we only know that the at-onement condition is the condition in which our soul can never die, is because if we died, then a part of God’s Love would die. And that’s a total impossibility. (00.38.47) So after you become at-one with God, you are fully conscious of your own immortality. In the spirit world and all through history, many people have been discussing what creates immortality and there is this constant belief in the New Age movement now that immortality is a given. That your soul is actually immortal from the day it was created. In other words, it can never die. Not that it will ever die, but that it can never. But that’s not true. The only time that you’ll know that for certain, and you’ll feel as an emotion in you, is when you become at-one with God. And when you feel it as an emotion in you, do you think you’re going to be afraid of death? No. Do you think you’re going to be afraid of pain even? No. You won’t be afraid of anything, when you feel this as an emotion in you. When you feel immortality as an emotion in you, you will feel that you will never, ever, die. (00.39.43) You will feel it, and it doesn’t matter what happens to you, you will feel that inside of you. Now can you imagine how freeing that is? Nothing ever scares you after that. Nothing! Not a single thing. Many of you in the future may finish up being in front of thousands of people talking to them. Right at the moment, you’d be petrified doing that. But when you’re in that condition it won’t faze you one single bit. It’ll have no effect on you emotionally; you’ll just enjoy it because of that belief entering you. (00.40.21) Now those beliefs enter you because, like it says in the prayer, God is the bestower of every good gift. You see what we don’t realize on the Natural Love Path is that we don’t realize that we are “God sufficient”. We feel self-sufficient, we’re not reliant on God, and we’re reliant on ourselves. And one thing we realize on the Divine Love Path is that actually that’s not even true. Every single person in the universe firstly is God reliant, even whether they believe in God or not. On the Divine Love Path you choose God reliance, right across the board emotionally, so you’re no longer become afraid of what you’re going to eat tomorrow, for example. Where you’re going to get the next dollar from, none of those emotions will ever, ever pass you again once you’re in that state. (00.41.19) Why? Because you know God is going to give you absolutely everything you desire that’s harmonious with love. And surely your own survival is harmonious with love? So you would never even consider your own survival anymore. You think of how many of your emotions right at the moment in any one day, or any one week are surrounding you surviving materially. You won’t have any of those emotions anymore and to be frank with you, if you have them now that means that there are some emotional injuries that need to be worked through. Let them be confronted and be released from you and then deal with them. (00.41.54) 12.11. If we long for Divine Love sincerely, we will receive it Notice the next bit was: Let us never cease to realize that your Love is waiting for each and all of us and that when we come to you in faith and earnest aspiration your Love will never be withheld from us. Many people come to me and say “Look, I’ve been longing for Divine Love for a year now and I’ve not felt it enter me.” What does that part of the prayer say? If you long for it in sincerity, you will always get it. That’s what it says doesn’t it? And that’s the truth. So if you’ve longed for Divine Love for a year now and not received any, then the truth is you haven’t longed for it. Now that’s a really confronting thing to cope with isn’t it? Do you see why? Because we think we’ve put all this effort into it, and we’ve got nowhere. It’s a terrible feeling to feel that, isn’t it? To feel that feeling that we’ve got nowhere and we’ve had all this, what we thought was sincere effort. (00.43.01) But we need to come to understand this truth really deeply. God always will give you Her Love if you have a sincere longing for it. So if I’m not receiving Her Love right at this moment, then it means right at this moment I don’t have a sincere longing for it. Is there a question about that? (00.43.31) Participant: If you haven’t experienced Divine Love, how do you know when you’ve got it? There was a spirit prompting you to ask this question. You and every spirit who has never received Divine Love will know; there will be a sensation you will feel and also probably lots of tears you will feel as you receive it. So you will know in the instant that you get it. That’s the beauty of it. Now many of you have got it because of what you thought was another reason. Do you know what I mean? Like you were at a music concert, like I was saying earlier, and all of a sudden you had these overwhelming emotions of, “Oh isn’t this beautiful, isn’t it amazing,” and projected an emotion in that instant to God and then received some Divine Love, and it made you cry. Now many of you didn’t realize at that moment that you were actually longing for Divine Love. But, whenever you long for it you will receive it, and after a while you’ll become very conscious of what it feels like. (00.44.44) Right at the start you’re not conscious of what it feels like at all because you’ve never received it before, but you’ll see the pattern generate as you receive it more and more. Participant: Is it possible that I have potentially received it in the past but I didn’t know it as Divine Love? There’s a very high likelihood that all of you have received Divine Love in the past because you’re attracted to this message already. It’s very unusual for a person to be attracted to the message and not already have received some Divine Love. So many of you might not be conscious, because you’ve had these other experiences which were emotional in your life, times when you were at your wits end and you were crying and things like that, a lot of the times you received Divine Love then and you attributed it to something else. Now what will happen in the future is that you will become more and more conscious that you’re actually receiving Divine Love in those moments. In the end you’ll get into a state where you receive it all the time, so you have a constant connection with God and that’s when you’re at-one with God. (00.45.40) Now that is quite a confronting issue, you see most people want to hear that, “Oh well if you’ve been trying hard, oh it’s lovely,” don’t you? “And if you’ve been trying really hard for a year, surely you’ve definitely received some by now.” And this is something we talked about in the Padgett Messages quite a lot because there is this constant desire that most people will have to falsify events in order to cheer people up. On the Divine Love Path you won’t want to do that. (00.46.15) So what we were trying to do with the Padgett Messages was to describe in fact to people the process of receiving Divine Love and all those kind of things and to show them that many people believed they’d received it when they actually hadn’t. Because they weren’t projecting sincere longings at God! (00.46.33) Now let’s look at sincere longings. Now I have said this before to you quite often, remember if you have a longing for another person. The person’s over here, I’ve got a longing for them, I make a step towards them and usually what happens then is all of these emotions start kicking in don’t they? How many of you have had an emotion with me that you want to talk to me, so you start coming up to talk to me and then you think, “Ah…Oh, Ohhh”? A good three quarters of you have done this right, “Oh, Ah, Ohhh, No, No, No, No,” and it doesn’t happen. (00.47.07) So what happened to your desire? t the start it was pure wasn’t it? And then what comes up? Fears, doubts and fears. My suggestion is, don’t try and overcome them, just sit in the chair and feel them. Don’t bother talking to me. Don’t force yourself to talk to me under those circumstances. This is a Law of Attraction event just perfectly placed for you to connect with some emotion of unworthiness. So sit down and feel how unworthy you feel, just to even talk to me. Let yourself feel that emotion. When you feel that emotion, you know what’s going to probably happen? I might come and talk to you, because the Law of Attraction will have changed in you. So a lot of times that’s what happens. (00.47.54) Now, we’re exactly the same with God. Oftentimes we start making a pure connection with God, and then all of these emotional things inside of us kick in to place. You know we start feeling unworthy, and we start feeling that God wouldn’t want us anyway and we start going through all of these different emotions. We need to feel them. It is those emotions that prevent our connection with God. So feel them. Don’t force yourself to pray under those circumstances. Allow yourself. You wouldn’t force yourself to come and talk with me if you felt those emotions. Sit with them; feel them, feel what’s inside of you that is causing you to feel the way you feel. Allow it to be triggered; just the act of walking toward something often triggers it. (00.48.43) So in my case, when I first saw Mary, I was completely speechless. She often says, she has said to me quite a few times, “Why didn’t you speak to me?” Well because I was all mixed up and to be frank, I had this emotion in me of unworthiness with her. And that emotion got triggered the instant I met her. And so I had to work through those emotions, I had to feel about that. And it’s exactly the same in your relationship with God. You need to feel the emotions that you feel that are preventing you from actually connecting. (00.49.22) And it would have been really good if I’d felt good about myself and I’d gone up to Mary and I’d picked her up and said, “Girl, you’re mine!” like Tarzan style. I’m sure that would have triggered some of her emotions. When I look back on it, I would have really liked to have done that, but it’s too late now, because I had all of these other emotions which were being triggered. And often that’s the case with our relationship with God too; we have all these other emotions being triggered. We need to be truthful and honest, and open about them all. (00.49.59) 12.12. Temptations of the flesh Alright, so what’s next? Keep us in the shadow of your Love every hour and moment of our lives, and help us to overcome all temptations of the flesh. What would you classify as a “temptation of the flesh”? “Coffee, chocolate, food…” Yeah, let’s define all these temptations of the flesh. Temptations of the flesh are when your fleshly desires overcome the love that’s in your soul, and cause you to do things, which in the end become painful to you. So temptations of the flesh are when you have these fleshly desires that are in you, that are stronger than the desire for love, the pure desire for love in your soul, and they cause all of your pain. (00.50.51) Now for example, a temptation of the flesh is not sex. Sex is not a temptation of the flesh in its pure form. But it can be a temptation of the flesh; can you see why? Because I could have a desire for sex and I don’t care whether I love the person or not; now I’m in the temptation zone. And if I act upon that I am going to harm myself and the other person. If my desire was to be in harmony with love, that would be a totally different situation. And this is why a lot of you have got to the part where you’re okay playing the field, or, I was talking with Simon earlier and he was just saying that, “You meet a woman, yeah, let’s play.” There’s that feeling. But now that can’t happen anymore, and you feel like it can’t happen anymore, once you’ve received a certain amount of Divine Love. Because what happens inside of you is the knowing, “I need to have a meaningful interaction; I can’t just do this non-meaningful thing anymore”. And so that stops happening. (00:52.03) So the temptations of the flesh are these desires and passions and unhealed emotions within us that cause us to act upon fleshly desires. So let’s look at how they affect us. All of us love food, yeah? But if I become a glutton and I’m starting to get bigger and bigger and bigger, what’s going on? What’s going on now? I’m in the temptation of the flesh mode. All of us love to drink? I love to drink water myself, but I know many of you still love to drink alcohol. The temptation of the flesh is to drink more and more and more. To become gluttonous with it and that obviously is going to affect you. So just the aspect of what happens to us with these temptations shows us the emotions that we need to avoid. (00.52.57) And the prayer is saying, “Please God, help me avoid these temptations of the flesh.” So here I am, I’m smoking away; there’s my temptation of the flesh. Why is it a temptation? Because I’m smoking, and if I’m smoking… and I don’t mean to offend anyone who is still smoking. And by the way you’re allowed to keep smoking. You’re allowed to do anything; you’ve got free will. You’re allowed to kill yourself anytime you want. It’s true. (00.53.27) So I’m smoking, which is actually destroying a part of my body, it’s well known that it’s destroying a part of my body. But I’m smoking. Why am I smoking? Because I’m looking for a feeling! What’s the feeling? Well most of the time when I’m smoking, by the time I get addicted to it, I’m looking for the feeling of satisfaction, the feeling of being calm, the feeling of having something to do, whatever the feeling is that’s driving me to have this cigarette. The temptation of the flesh is, I am using this physical tool to actually avoid the emotion. And I’m allowing my body’s desire for this physical tool to dominate my soul. So that’s what a temptation of the flesh is. (00.54.15) Now, if I’m doing that, in that moment I’m actually not praying to God, “Please help me avoid the temptations of the flesh.” Right at that moment what I’m saying to God is, “Give me as many temptations as possible, I love this temptation of my flesh.” That’s really what I’m saying. Now you’re allowed to do that. God’s not going to say, “You naughty boy, there’s a lightning bolt for you!” God’s not going to do that. What God’s going to do is that God’s not going to respond to your prayer. Because you’re not in truth! And you need to be in truth if you’re going to receive Divine Love. (00.54.50) So you can smoke and receive some Divine Love. I’m not saying that you will never receive Divine Love if you’re smoking. James Padgett, who wrote the Padgett Messages, smoked. He never got above the third sphere because of it. We often tried to address this issue with him and unfortunately a lot of his personal messages weren’t included in the Padgett Messages, which is sad because we often tried to address the issue with him, but he avoided the issue. He wanted to avoid the emotional reason why he needed this temptation of the flesh. (00.55.25) So what the prayer is doing is addressing these issues, it’s saying, “Why do you want to avoid these things? Why do you want to not deal with those things, they are all blocking your relationship with God?” 12.13. Negative spirit influence And then the next part says: Help us overcome all temptations of the flesh. And the influence of the powers of the evil ones who so constantly surround us and endeavour to turn our thoughts away from God to the pleasures and allurements of the world. You see because of our temptations of the flesh, which are to do with our avoidance emotions, spirits surround us who want to utilize these emotions for their own power and benefit. Many of you are experiencing this in your day-to-day life now. When you get on the Divine Love Path in particular, lots of spirits don’t like you being on it. And what they do is they scan your body, your spirit body, and they can scan it really easily and they say, “Ah, problem there, problem there.” They don’t care about how good things are, they don’t think about how you’ve got a big beautiful heart and all loving and everything. None of that! “Problem there, problem there, problem there, oh problem there; this person really wants to have sex with lots of people. I’m going to create that around them as much as I can, so that I can connect with their sexual feelings and enjoy some sex myself, through them.” Spirits can do that. (00.56.54) So what they do is they focus in on your emotional injury that you are denying within yourself and then they utilize that injury to their benefit. Now many of you are not dealing with your emotional injuries about doubts about me. Many of you still have lots of feelings about me. I don’t mean that you’ve got to believe I’m Jesus, but what I’m saying to you, many of you have doubts about my character. Many of you feel emotions that are things like, “Can I really trust him? I don’t know if I can trust him.” We’ve been eighteen months together and you still can’t trust me. Many of you can’t trust me still. And you feel like I’m going to be some kind of cult leader in the future or something like that. Or that I’m somehow I’m going to ask you for extra money or I’m going to somehow… When Peter sent out the posting about the Divine Love Sanctuary some emails came back to him saying, “Oh, now we know what AJ’s up to.” (00.58.04) Now all that is, is not dealing with emotions of doubt, emotions of doubt about my character. You’re allowed to have them, perfectly welcome to continue having them for the rest of your life, that’s fine, because that’s your free will. But what I’m saying is, when you don’t deal with an emotion like that, what happens is a spirit comes along, “Oh, doubt! I can use that.” And at the moment there’s a whole group of spirits who really want to give me a hard time. They can’t give me a hard time personally so much, so what they try to do is connect with as many people as they can around me, to get them to give me a hard time. (00.58.41) And so what they do is they try to actually connect with… (Someone’s mobile phone rings) Interesting, interesting. I was just thinking about the Law of Attraction of that, and that was totally spirit driven. But anyway we’ll talk about that another time. Interestingly enough, many spirits want to connect with your unhealed emotions that you don’t want to recognize within yourself. (00.59.10) So for example, if you have an emotion of arrogance in yourself, what’s going to happen is you are going to attract lots of people telling you that you’re really great. You’ll reject all the people that don’t tell you you’re really great of course. But you’ll attract the people that do tell you you’re great and there’ll be spirits around you who want to tell you that you’re greater than everyone else. So that eventually what will happen inside of you, you know they can actually manipulate you, in such a way to manipulate that arrogance, into doing things they want. Then there’re other spirits who do that with sex, and there’re other spirits that with alcohol and there’re other spirits that do that with drugs, and there’re other spirits that do that just with emotions of anger toward men, or emotions of anger towards women. Do you see what I’m saying? It’s so easy to influence you if you don’t own your own emotions. When you deny your own emotions, that’s when you are heavily influenced. (01.00.09) Participant: How would a spirit use arrogance as a tool? If I believe I’m better than I am, and I could influence lots of people negatively and a spirit who is feeling powerless wants to have some power, he can connect to me through my arrogance and cause me to say things to that group of people I might not normally have said, just to get a response back to them that they’ll feel powerful. So this happens a lot of times with mediumship for example, where a medium might be in a state of arrogance and so spirit connects with them and they connect with lots and lots of people, telling them a heap of untruths, which the spirit believes are true, and the person believes are true, in their own arrogance and now lots of falsehood is disseminated just from that one event. (01.00.59) So a spirit can connect through any emotion, any emotion disharmonious with love or even harmonious with love. The key is, if they are disharmonious with love we need to face them and deal with them inside of ourselves. Every fear you have is manipulable. Coca Cola manipulates you every day. People say I manipulate them. Honestly, I don’t even know how to do it, compared to Coca Cola. Coca Cola say in the adverts, diet Coke is sexy. You get a sexy woman in a bikini drinking a diet Coke. What’s that saying to you? You’ll be sexy like this if you drink diet Coke. Now if you have an emotion inside of you that connects with that, you’ll go and buy a diet Coke for the first time. You never bought a diet Coke before, but you’ll go and do it. (01.01.53) And that’s the whole point of marketing, isn’t it? That’s why marketing is not really harmonious with Divine Love; because it’s actually used to manipulate people’s emotions. It doesn’t help them resolve their emotions. It acts upon their negative emotional state to do what the marketer wants. That’s how many times in our lives we are manipulated! Why did you buy the iPod? Because you were manipulated most of the time! Or was it pure desire? Did you buy the iPod because your next door neighbour had an iPod? Why have you got a mobile phone? Was it because your mates bought a mobile phone and you haven’t got one? Often that’s what motivates us. You’re hip if you do this. That is what motivates many of our choices and decisions. Or, why do I go and buy a V8 car, when a four cylinder car will do just as much job and cause less pollution? Because a V8 car gives me an emotion that the four cylinder one doesn’t! (01.02.59) I’ve had the emotion myself. I went and bought a sports car, this was ten years or so ago, may have been eight or nine years ago. I bought a sports car looking for the emotion. Drove around in my sports car, pretty good. Like two hundred and forty km per hour up the highway. Fair dinkum I did. Yeah Jesus was a maniac! I was driven by the emotion. I once remember a conversation I had with a fellow, a friend of mine who was a multi millionaire. He said, “One thing you haven’t learned yet is that no matter how powerful the car is, the next car you will want will be more powerful.” And that’s true. I hadn’t learnt that and what do I drive around in now? I’ve got a 1994 Hyundai XL, 1.5 litre. Mary still feels I’m a maniac though, but anyway. (01.04.08) But the emotion that drove me was there and the marketing system and everything was based around the emotions. And that is how you’re manipulated; through your unhealed emotions. This is how the world manipulates you. This is also how spirits manipulate you. So when we have the prayer… To lead us away from the influence of the powers of the evil ones … (Or powers of the spirits who are evil in their nature) who surround us and turn us away from God. What are we saying? What we are saying is, I have a sincere desire in my heart to no longer focus on all these allurements of the world that are before me. But now I’m going to focus on my soul development, because that’s going to bring me everything else anyway. (01.04.58) It’s my soul development that brings me everything else, so if I focus upon my soul development, all these other things will be added to me. If I understand that emotionally, I won’t be focused on all the allurements of the world, if we could call it that. This is what I meant in the first century of being in the world, but no part of it. So what I’m doing there, is I’m in the world, I live in the world, but I’m no part of it because I’m not drawn into its allurements. In that state, if I own all of my emotions and I’m praying to God for this, then what will happen is these spirits that have been heavily influencing most of us over this last eighteen month period will have far less influence upon us. (01.05.40) And by the way they have influenced all of us all our lives and that’s because of these unhealed emotions. So once we focus on that and we pray to God, what we’re really saying to God is, “I want to deal with everything inside of me that causes an attraction between me and these spirits. I want to actually deal with it emotionally rather than living in the expression emotion,” if you could call it that. So when I went out and bought the sports car I was living in the expression emotion, but I hadn’t learnt the truth yet. I’m not saying sports cars are wrong, in the future there’ll be these lovely sports cars that levitate that actually won’t produce any emissions whatsoever and that you actually create with your power of your soul and you’ll be able to drive them anywhere you want, if you want to. I don’t know why you’d want to, because you’ll also be able to teleport. (01.06.34) But you know that all these things are all available to you, and in the spirit world there are locations in the first and second sphere where these things exist. And so you will actually be able to do those things if you want. Of course your desire for it changes as you grow in love and so a lot of times, what you think you want now changes quite markedly. But can you see the power of the prayer, in the sense of exposing the connection between how spirits can influence you and your connection with God? (01.07.07) Many you will notice that. If you read the Padgett Messages even daily you’ll notice that you’ll feel a different type of connection. Just that action of reading the Padgett Messages does that, because you’re actually associating with a whole other group of spirits, when you do that. Because all the spirits who want you to go down and party down the street and pick up a woman and take her home, they’re not there when you’re reading the Padgett Messages. They are with somebody else who wants to go down and party. That’s who they are with. Now the instant you put it down, you might still have that desire in you and then they might be able to influence you, but can you see how just the action of actually raising your own spiritual desires causes you to disconnect from spirits around you. (01.07.57) When you deal with the emotion completely, of course the spirit can’t even influence you at all. So the truth is, right at this moment, I am still being influenced by spirits. Because I’ve got unworthiness issues! So what do the spirits want? They want me to stay unworthy. Why do they want me to stay unworthy? If I stay unworthy I won’t do more teaching of truth. If I don’t do more teaching of truth, less truth will get out there. So they want me to stay unworthy. So how do they do that? They get people to send me emails. “You’re not Jesus, what do you think you’re doing?” I just had one a few days ago, someone put in bold letters, and “You are Allan John Miller. Don’t you think you’re Allan John Miller? Can’t you see that’s the truth?” (01.08.46) Of course I’ve had lots of those emails over five years as you can imagine. So I’ve had lots of people trying to tell me what they think I should feel about myself. And in the past, a lot of the time I’ve taken it on. I’ve taken on those projections. But the fact that I’m still getting them means I’ve still got some unworthiness issues to work through. Can you see? So I need to work through them. So right now all of us are still being influenced by different spirits through these different emotions that we’re not releasing. (01.09.20) In my case it’s this big fear of what’s going to happen in the future. You know the last time I began my ministry; it lasted three and a half years, resulted in my crucifixion and terrible painful emotions in my wife and in my child. That’s what happened last time; do you think I am afraid of that happening again? Right at the moment, yeah! So I’ve got to work through that emotionally. So once I work through that emotionally that won’t be there, that won’t be there, the Law of Attraction will be different. But it means me working through it emotionally. (01.09.58) There are many things you’re afraid of about living in truth. How many of you are afraid just to tell your mothers that, “No, mum, I don’t want you controlling my life any more”? Many of us are grown adults and we’re still in that state where we’re afraid of that. So we’re afraid. So let yourself tell your mother that and let the emotions rise up. Those emotions prevent the connection with God. 12.14. God smiles upon our weaknesses What’s next? We thank you for your Love and the privilege of receiving it and we believe that you are our Father, the Loving Father who smiles upon us in our weakness and is always ready to help us and take us into your arms of Love. You see God’s constantly surrounding you. God is constantly surrounding you, trying to give you every single thing that God has the power to give you, which at the moment, you don’t have the power or the willingness to receive. But God’s there doing that. If we pray for that, if we understand that God’s this God that is smiling upon us, and not castigating us, not trying to punish us, or be wrathful with us, then we’ll go a lot farther in our connection with God, than if we believe the other things. (01.11.15) Can you see why many Christians don’t get further than the second or third sphere while they’re here on Earth, even if they are receiving Divine Love? Because they believe God to be a ‘punishing God’ who punishes the wicked! Who punishes all of my sins that I’ve committed in the past that I didn’t deal with, and that’s not what God’s like. And many of us hold over those beliefs still within us that need to be released from us, so that we can come to see that God is actually this beautiful, loving person, who just wants us. 12.15. Trusting God And then notice I’ve said, We pray this with all the earnestness and sincere longings of our souls and trusting in your Love, give you all the glory and honour and love that our finite souls can give. You see to actually connect with God we’ve got to trust quite a lot of things initially. After a while what happens is that we start receiving Divine Love and we don’t need to trust them anymore, because it’s reality then. So in the beginning this period that we’re going through, this beginning period; it’s often very difficult, because we don’t trust things and we don’t trust God, and we don’t trust God exists all the time. To be frank many times in our lives when you’re going through a really hard emotion, you don’t feel like God’s around you, do you? Even though God’s right there next to us, we don’t feel God’s there. (01.12.44) And so what happens a lot of times is we get embroiled in that emotional state and we forget the truth and the truth is, God’s always around us wanting to connect to us. And God deserves your love and God deserves your honour and God deserves your respect. God deserves those things from you. Of course you don’t have to give them. I’m not saying God expects them from you, I’m just saying God deserves them. And at some point inside of us we need to start to feel whether that’s the truth or not. (01.13.16) 13. The Divine Love Path is all about connecting to God So now in briefly covering the prayer, the outline, you’ll notice in the outline there are lots and lots of things I haven’t covered. There are lots of points about God that I haven’t covered. So my suggestion is to actually allow your self to go home now and over the coming weeks re-go over that outline and start looking and feeling about things about God. This is all about your connection with God. The Divine Love Path isn’t about emotional processing; the Divine Love Path isn’t about the Law of Attraction. It does involve those things, but it isn’t about it. What it’s really about is your connection directly with God. And when you do that, all these other things will be added to you. So my suggestion is to focus on that completely. Mary, do you want to say something about that? (01.14.16) Mary: I just wanted to try and express that I have been starting to re-establish my connection with God and I wanted to try and express just how beautiful this is, how much love is available to all of us, every single one of us. It’s really an emotional place and how, when I’m having a connection with God, how much love I actually feel for God as well. In the beginning I used to think, “Oh receiving Divine Love, it’s all about what we’re going to get from God.” And it never felt good to me and it is because I have these really deep feelings of gratitude and thankfulness to God and when I’m experiencing those things, and experiencing the love from God it’s just an amazing thing. And I just wanted to try and reassure everyone that it’s available for all of us and it’s just a wonderful thing. (01.15.50) Yeah. There’s often times when, and I don’t know if you have felt this yourself yet, many of you I know have, when you’re sitting down and you’re actually feeling about how wonderful God is. How wonderful it is that you’re even learning all the things you’re learning now. Many of you have been seeking for twenty, thirty, forty years for the truths of the universe. Many of you have been feeling that. Then when you start hearing the truths of the universe, hearing actually God’s Truths and they all make sense, they all fit together like a glove, don’t they? They all just fit together nice and neatly; everything works. You understand everything as it goes, it all is just so perfect and you start feeling about the person who made that. And how wonderful the person who made that, is. (01.16.39) When you start allowing yourself to feel that inside of yourself, these powerful emotions come from your soul to God! And in that moment that those powerful emotions leave you is the moment you also begin receiving Divine Love. And many of you have had that experience. So get to know God, allow your self to think about God more. Allow yourself to meditate about God more. So instead of meditation being a practice of laying yourself down on the bed and taking yourself out of body, or taking yourself into this nice quiet place where you focus on nothing, instead of doing that, why not add this other element during that state? Allow yourself to feel about God, and you’ll notice your meditation just changes into prayer really rapidly and you’ll start feeling these things from God then. (01.17.42) There’ll be talks in the future where I’ll be talking about God’s qualities and God’s attributes. And they are so numerous that you know we could talk for hundreds of years about them and still not cover the subject. There’ll be things that are covered, like even about God being a mathematician or a scientist, but also these other aspects of God, love, joy, peace, these aspects of wisdom, knowledge, power, all these other aspects of God. When you start adding it all together and you start realizing how awesomely powerful God is, but also how infinitely loving She is, then you start having these feelings generate in you about God. (01.18.30) But you see while I believe inside of my mind that God’s punishing and wrathful, and that God’s going to punish me for my sins and all that, how can I have those feelings? I can’t, can I? And so naturally those feelings are going to disconnect me from God. So what I’d like to encourage you to do over the coming weeks and months is to actually begin really focusing on your relationship with God and using that relationship as a means to work through emotions. (01.19.00) You see up to now what we’ve been doing is a lot of emotional processing working through things and finding out what the emotions are intellectually and then delving into them emotionally. But actually the faster way of dealing with all of our emotions is to connect directly with God. See if you’re not receiving Divine Love right at the moment, it’s because there’s an emotion blocking it. So talk to God about that. “I’m not receiving your love because there is an emotion blocking it. Please show me through your Law of Attraction, what that emotion is”. The very next moment generally you will find it. But if not then, certainly over the coming days you will find what that emotion is that’s preventing it. (01.19.40) As soon as you release it, you’ll be able to long for God’s love and think about God and feel God and you’ll actually feel a feeling enter you. And you’ll know that’s God connecting back with you. So allow yourself to start developing this relationship with God. This is what the Divine Love Path is all about. It’s not about all these wonderful truths that are very, very external to you. It’s about what’s going on in your internal relationship between you and God, and nothing else really in the end. (01.20.10) 14. The benefits of a relationship with God All of those other beautiful truths, which all of you have been so attracted to for the majority of your lives, will all come to you, if you develop this relationship first. Now those truths may come to you over a period of time if you develop other relationships, instead of this relationship with God, but you’ll never understand them until you receive the Divine Love to understand them. So do that first. Focus on that relationship with God first. When you focus on that relationship and long for God’s Love to enter you what will happen is, you will feel this two-way conversation, which is an emotional conversation between you and God. And you will know God exists. That is the way in fact that you will prove to yourself that God exists. And no one will ever be able to shake that in you. And you’ll get to the point when you’ve received enough Divine Love to be at-one with God that no one will ever be able to shake any of the knowledge in you. (02.21.12) You will feel the truth inside of your being and you will become outspoken about it, you will have no fear about it, you will know it’s the truth inside of yourself. You’ll become a person who speaks in knowledge. Not in knowledge of intellectual knowledge, you’ll become a person who speaks in full emotional knowledge of the truth that you’ve actually personally experienced. That’s what will happen to you. So my suggestion is to really contemplate this stuff about praying for Divine Love and praying for Divine Truth. They are the two greatest things that you could ever pray for and allow yourself to start understanding God’s nature and let yourself feel and meditate about God’s nature and connect to God. Allow that to occur and your soul will expand a lot more rapidly than if you try to circumvent that or you get interested in other things. (01.22.09) And the beauty of doing that is that all of your spirit communication will all grow very rapidly as a result. All of your joy will grow rapidly as a result, if you do it that way. If you do it the other way where you’re focused on these other emotions, you’re focused on natural love, you’re not so focused on God, you want to connect with your spirit guide and all those things, it will be much slower for you. So allow yourself to do what’s going to be the most powerful thing. And I know right at the moment many of you may feel like, “Oh, God doesn’t feel real to me.” So say that to God, “You don’t feel real to me. I don’t know why, but I would like you to feel real to me. How do I do that?” And notice what happens in your Law of Attraction. What is it then attracted to you? Say to God the things that you feel. Just be honest with God. Because remember connection with God is all about honesty and truth. (01.23.10) 15. Emotions of self-deception So that’s what I would like to encourage you to do. Now the reason why I’ve created next week, a talk about emotions of self-deception, is that a lot of the time we think we’re doing things emotionally. Working through things emotionally, but a lot of the time what we’re doing is creating emotions because we’d rather not do something. And many of you, what I’m finding when I feel about your own progression is that many of you are creating emotions inside of yourself that are not real causal emotional experiences. (01.23.45) Some of you have said to me about self worth issues, “I don’t actually have a self worth issue,” for example. Some of you with issues with the opposite gender don’t actually have an issue with the opposite gender in some ways. So some of you have said, “Oh, the opposite gender has hurt me so much,” and you’re going through those emotions. But I’m actually feeling, “No, no, actually you’ve hurt the opposite gender far more than they’ve hurt you,” and they’re the emotions you need to go through. (01.24.13) So what we need to do is look at the truth about our emotional state, so that’s what we’ll be looking at next week and hopefully some of you will be brave enough to share some of these things. Now what I’m doing next week, or what I’ve considered doing, and I might have to ask for your permission... although I’m tempted not to, but anyway. Many of you are posting publically on the Internet your own emotions and I’ve had the opportunity to read some of them, and by the way most of them are emotions of self deception. (01.24.45) And so what I would like to be able to do is get some of those postings, and then call you up and sit you down and talk about your emotions of self-deception. If you feel brave enough to do that, if you don’t feel brave enough to do that, you just say, “No,” and I’ll say, “No worries”. So you don’t have to do it, but I’ll just invite you to do that. It’ll be very good for you from a teaching point of view, but also teaching others. (01.25.11) Now it’s these emotions of self-deception that often mislead us on the path of emotional processing and the emotions of self deception are often the emotions that cause us to become downhearted in our relationship with God. So many of you have said things to me like, “I’ve been processing emotions for three months, and it’s this one emotion and I don’t seem to be getting through it. What’s going on?” Well what’s going on is you’re in an emotion of self-deception. It’s not the real emotion, because the real emotions when you deal with them get released from you and your Law of Attraction changes instantly. (01.25.48) So we can deal with that with God. So that’s what we want to start to do now is start incorporating God far more in all of these discussions that we are having. Now for some of you that will challenge you and for some of the new people that come along it will challenge them a lot. But that’s okay because that’s all part of their emotional state, and we need to challenge these things to move through the emotional period and really get to the core emotions that are in us. So that’s what we’ll be doing next week. (01.26.21) I’d really like to thank you that you came along today, on this discussion because I feel that it is the most important discussion that we will ever have; this discussion about Divine Love, and how to receive it and how to pray for it. Many of you I know are not feeling that at this moment because there are many other things that interest you, but in time I know that many of you will come to feel that as well. So allow yourself to meditate about our discussion today. (01.29.34) 16. Processing blockages to causal emotions Participant: AJ, I feel a little bit disheartened because I’ve been crying enormous amounts, that I might not actually be accessing the causal. But my question is could it be that it is so big and so deep that you’re just doing chunks of it? That is sometimes the case; we’ll talk about that next week a fair bit, but that is sometimes the case where yes, you need to chip away at something. But usually if we’re not accessing the causal there are deep fears associated, so the first step is accessing the blocks. So most of us are going through emotions of accessing the blockages to our causal emotions, rather than the casuals themselves! (01.30.20) Now the process of accessing blockages and we’ll talk about this more next week, but the process of accessing blockages often doesn’t feel productive because our Law of Attraction doesn’t change. You see if I’ve got a blockage of fear and I deal with that fear, the causal emotion with other attractions doesn’t change. So let’s say I’m afraid of dealing with sexual shame for example. The fear blocks me from experiencing the sexual shame, so first I need to experience the fear, but when I experience the fear and release it, the sexual shame still exists, so my sexual attractions still exist unchanged. My Law of Attraction will exist unchanged. (01.31.00) So dealing with the fear is an emotional process, but it feels like it didn’t accomplish anything, but in reality it did. What it did is it lifted the lid on the deeper emotion. So it’s one of the things we’ll talk about next week with emotions. There are a whole group of emotions, which I’d call “capping” emotions. There are capping emotions, which I’d call emotions of denial, and then there are a whole group of emotions, which are the covering emotions, which cover over deeper emotions. Many of us are in that state of dealing with covering emotions, which is an important part of the process and has to be dealt with before you’ll get to the real causal emotions. (01.31.40) So it’s a matter of, “How do I know which one’s which?” and that’s what we’ll talk about next week. 17. The closing of the Gates of Heaven Participant: AJ, there’s one thing that I’ve been reading in the Padgett Messages, that I know that I’ve discussed with other people too, but it is something that’s standing between me and feeling there’s this… it’s making me feel like God’s a bit wrathful, you know? And it is that the gates of Heaven will close soon; can you explain that? Yep. It’s probably a subject that I’d like to cover in a lot more detail, rather than just giving a brief explanation at this moment. But yes there will be at a time in the future, there will be a closing of the Celestial heavens. I’m not saying that it won’t re-open at another time. There are really, really good reasons for the closing and the major primary reason is that all of those people in the Celestial Heavens are very much focused on helping people in lower conditions. That also to a degree prevents further progression. There’s a whole new set of gifts that God wants to give mankind aside from Divine Love and only those ones who’ve received Divine Love will be able to receive those new gifts. And so there has to be a time when those who’ve received Divine Love no longer are focused on what’s happening on the Earth, or what’s happening in the spirit world in the lower spheres, but now can focus on these new gifts. And so what I see happening is there’ll be an opening and a closing and an opening and a closing of the Celestial Heavens. (01.33.34) You see Divine Love, and this is something I haven’t talked about today but it’s really important to understand, Divine Love is a gift, it’s not a given. Do you understand the difference? See you imagine at Christmas time you’ve got children or whatever and you want to buy them a gift. If the child expects the gift, how does it feel giving it? If the child actually abuses the gift, how does it feel now when you’ve given it? (01.34.09) What’s going to happen on Earth and in the spirit world during this time that we’re living right now is that God’s gift of Divine Love is going to be offered to every single soul. Some souls, in fact I feel perhaps quite a few souls, will reject it. Now there will be a period of time when it’s offered and reoffered and reoffered. This gift is known about and offered and offered and offered and maybe even generations where it is offered. And it will be well known all through the spirit world and on Earth. You see at the moment it’s not well known even in the lower spheres of the spirit world, but it will be. (01.34.49) And so God will be offering these gifts, but what will happen is sooner or later everyone will come to a choice and the choice is, “Am I going to receive the gift, or am I going to reject it?” All those who reject it will actually be prevented from accessing the gift for a period of time. The reason why that will occur is because… it’s a bit like if you gave a gift to a child and it just jumped up and down on it, would you contemplate giving back exactly the same gift at exactly the same moment? No. Why? Because the child already has shown a thankless and unappreciative emotion toward the gift! So what you would generally do is talk to the child about that, reason with the child about that, and wait a period of time perhaps, before you bought the same gift again, wouldn’t you? And then you’d give them the same gift again and see how they treated it then, and that’s exactly how God is going to deal with mankind. (01.35.52) So this period of time we’re living in is a great time because every single person in the spirit world and every single person on Earth will be open to the gift of Divine Love, and it’s a fantastic time on Earth. There’ll be a time when that offer, this particular offer… I’m not saying there won’t be an offer in the future, I’m saying this particular offer of that gift will be closed and all the persons who didn’t appreciate what they were being offered, and they will be given time to work through those emotions as to why they didn’t appreciate it. And then there’ll be a re-offer, probably, made to mankind for that gift. (01.36.34) Participant: Is that what happened before… like is that when you were there in the first century, did you re-open that, or…? What happened was, it was closed when Amon and Aman denied the gift. So when Amon and Aman rejected the gift, the first human couple rejected the gift of Divine Love. And because God could foresee what was going to occur because of their rejection, which was this subsequent soul damage on every generation for a long period of time, what God did was withdraw the possibility of the gift, until my coming in the first century. And then God re-opened the possibility of the gift, which I embraced. So I was the first person to embrace that gift and then after me many, many others embraced that gift. But there was a period of time where the gift was not offered. (01.37.24) So in the Padgett Messages you’ll notice there are many messages where they were saying, “I didn’t know about the gift being offered again.” Amon and Aman say the gift was actually closed from the gift being offered to them after that period. So if you read those messages you’ll see that God has in the past stopped offering the gift when the people didn’t want it, allowed a period of time to pass until there was someone there that wanted it, and then re-opened the gift again. (01.37.54) Participant: And so when it’s closed, people will still go to the sixth level even on the Divine Love Path. Yeah, yeah! But there won’t be a Divine Love Path for a period of time. And then the path would open again, if you like. Now any who’ve received Divine Love, Divine Love can never be removed from you, so any of you who have received Divine Love means that you can never be not offered it. Because God would never do that, so it’s only those ones who definitely refused, they know of the choice, and they have refused to receive the gift. (01.38.35) Participant: But what about people in the second sphere and third sphere, they’re not up to going through the Celestial gates… They will still be able to progress in Divine Love. Even your soulmates will be able to progress even if they haven’t received Divine Love, because remember the soul is a complete unit, not just half. So if half of the soul received Divine Love and the other half hasn’t received Divine Love then that entire soul will still have open to it the possibility of receiving Divine Love. Because it’s the whole soul God looks at, not the halves. So that will continue to occur. The issue is that where the whole soul, both halves, have rejected the gift of Divine Love, for those ones there’ll be a time period where God will not offer that gift. (01.39.20) And it’s not for punishment or any of those things, but there are a number of loving reasons for it. One is you don’t keep offering a gift to somebody who rejects it. That’s a basic principle of love. The second one is that the people who’ve accepted the gift are in a state where they can accept other gifts and they need to be given the chance to accept those gifts. So it loves to both people and then the third thing obviously is that God will re-open, just like he did in the first century. The opportunity to the gift and the opportunity has been from there until now and will probably be a few centuries yet, or a few generations yet, and then God will close down that opportunity for the gift and those people have the opportunity to progress in other ways. Then there’ll be a new crop of people, if you like, who receive Divine Love after that time, when God re-opens the gift. (01.40.12) See in the first century when the first person wanted the gift to be offered, God offered it. So when all of the people who’ve rejected it are in a state of rejection, God won’t offer it anymore, but when the first person of those get into a state where they want to have it offered, God will offer it again. It is totally dependent upon man’s desire for the gift. So if you can bear that in mind when you read about those things about the closing of the Heavens, that’d be good. (01.40.56) Are there any other questions? I’ve go about a quarter of an hour so I can answer any other questions. Good. 18. Questions from the audience 18.1. Is there ever going to be a time when the Earth with pass away? Participant: Is there ever going to be a time when the Earth will pass away. When the Earth will not be? If you are talking about a time when the Earth passes away, from a purely scientific perspective, there is the potential of the Earth passing away. Because the sun has the ability to go into a supernova state, which would destroy the Earth! Now as far as predictions go, when that occurs may be millions and millions and millions of years in the future. But it may occur. But by that stage mankind will be in a state of development where we can go from one planet to another planet without there even needing a method of transportation between those two locations so it wouldn’t affect us. (01.41.49) So there’s nothing to be afraid of but, there is the scientific possibility of the sun going supernova and there are many other planets that support life in the universe. And so we could easily go to one of those planets, or many of them. In fact you know one of the things we may be doing in the future is actually going to planets, other planets, other than the Earth. These are all possibilities, and so there is this possibility that the Earth may pass, but not now. (01.42.25) 18.2. How does the soul condition of one half of a soul affect the other half? Participant: Does the soul condition of the soul halves affect one and other, even if they’re not together? Yes, definitely! What happens is that the soul mate connection, so if you can imagine, here’s one half of the soul and here’s the other half of the soul. This is what you look like when you’re separated. So one half of the soul, let’s say this one is male and this one is female, in terms of the bodies connected to them, male bodies and female bodies in this illustration that I am giving you, there is a constant energetic transaction going on between the soul mate halves, even if you’re unaware of it. And the Law of Attraction operates upon the soul mate halves, more than it operates on any other relationship. But it’s the emotional blockages in each half of the soul that prevent the recognition of this connection. (01.43.29) So any change that you make inside of yourself that actually prevents connection with your soulmate will be felt by your soulmate. It doesn’t matter what their condition is. Now when their condition is in a really, really, really poor or shrivelled condition they won’t feel it very much. But if their condition is quite a good condition, they’ll feel it as a very strong feeling, and they’ll feel very much drawn to you. (01.44.00) So what I had to do is deal with a lot of my feminine based issues; issues with the opposite gender. Mostly I had no anger; I had very little anger with the opposite gender. What I had mostly was these terrible fears of disappointing the opposite gender and all of those kind of things and I had to work through a lot of those issues, which slowly but surely attracted my soulmate and then I had to also live in desire. (01.44.24) Soulmates are able to feel the other half of the soul changing So I lived in South Australia and my soulmate lived in Queensland, so how were we going to meet, if none of us lived in our desire? So my feelings started coming up, “Oh, I really love Queensland for some reason, I don’t understand why, and you know, but I just like the idea of living there,” so I started travelling up here a bit more than anywhere else. I started to follow those desires too. (01.44.50) So that’s a part of what the soulmate attraction does too, follow the desires, often that’s going to lead you to a place that’s closer to where your soulmate is. But definitely when you deal with your emotions in your half of the soul, the other half of your soul, whether it be male or female, is definitely going to actually feel those changes and be drawn to you. The Law of Attraction operates in the most powerful way between soulmate halves. (01.45.15) 18.3. How big is God? Participant: AJ, how big is this God? Is it universal, is it the galaxy, is it all the planets, and is it just humanity, how big? The best way I can illustrate God in terms of size, to give you a concept. What I’m going to try to do it give you a concept of infinity basically, because God is infinite, in nature and in power. God’s soul is infinite in power. But remember God’s soul doesn’t exist inside of the universe. The universe is created by God’s soul. So, for example, if you create a car, you don’t exist inside the car do you? You can get in the car and you can get out of the car, but the car isn’t you. (01.46.22) So this is the same as God’s nature. God has created universes. Like the first universe we’d call the physical universe. Now man can’t even measure the extent of this universe, at this point. We don’t know how big the universe actually is and the spirits have measured the extent of the physical universe but mankind at the moment doesn’t have the means to do that. So for all intents and purposes, mankind’s view of the universe is infinite. (01.45.46) Most of us have seen a picture of the Milky Way galaxy. It’s a very vast galaxy. The Earth is a pinprick in a tiny little location, somewhere near the top. That is just one galaxy and there are literally billions of those galaxies, that each has billions of stars in them. And each of these billions of stars each has billions of planets revolving around them. So there is the extent of the physical universe; you can’t even conceive of the extent of the physical universe. (01.47.30) Now if you just imagine. Then there’s the thing called the first sphere. The first sphere of which the physical universe is a part, you could say. The first sphere is another set of that kind of extent of creation. So in other words it’s as big as the physical universe. So you could start seeing it like slices in an orange. So here’s an orange and you slice up an orange and you can think of each one of those as a universe. Each sphere is a universe. Now God created all that. (01.48.10) At the moment there are twenty two of those that are known and each time a person gets into a new condition of love, another one is created. So God not only created these universes, he created the potentiality of the universes existing. The reason why sometimes why I’m referred to in the Urantia book as the Creator’s son, is that the universes from the seventh to the twenty first are the universes that I personally created. But I didn’t create them in the sense of physically creating them. I created them by my soul getting into a condition of love that automatically created the universe that I needed to exist in. (01.48.55) The universe is constructed of 22 spheres, including the physical world and the first sphere of the spirit world So God’s created this unlimited potential for your soul to grow, with unlimited number of universes, each of which is as vast as the physical universe that we’re living in right now. So we are starting to conceive how big the universe is, and God’s bigger than that. So can you conceive that this being, who’s that big, wants to talk to you? (01.49.23) So God is so vast and so powerful that all these universes are actually created through the laws that God constructed. And every one of you when you enter one of these new universes will change the universe. You will change it. Every new person who enters a new universe physically changes that universe. And God created that potential for you. (01.49.54) So when you start stretching your mind… and there’s a lot of things like that that I’ll be talking about with you in the future… when you start stretching your mind enough to even begin to contemplate emotionally what this feels like, then you’ll start to understand how God is. And yet She wants to talk to you. She wants to have a connection with you. She wants to have a connection with every single child. (01.50.22) God is so vast that God can connect with every single child to the extent that you, through your own love that exists in your soul, can create a universe and God has enough love to actually give love to every single one of you to create your own universe. If you can contemplate how much love that is you start to understand, which is very difficult to do, how vast God is. (01.53.50) So when you start feeling about God in this way, you’ll start really connecting with this beautiful gift that she’s giving you that is the gift of this personal love that she has for you. Do you know what I mean? To have a being that powerful, who can actually give you enough personal power to create an entire universe that’s almost infinite in its nature and yet do that for Brian, and do that for every other person that’s here and every other person that wants that and God can do all of that for us. Just by this process of receiving Divine Love expanding the soul! Participant: No wonder I have been freaking out. Yep. God is huge. Participant: AJ, in the spiritual traditions they talk about, say a star as having a form of soul and likewise planets, and an oversoul for a galaxy. Is there some Truth in this? There’s some truth in the sense that the combined consciousness of the people on the planet cause the planet to have a certain nature. So obviously without people on it, then it all just operates perfectly as God designed. But the combined soul consciousness, or the soul condition of every single soul on the planet determines what happens to the planet. (01.52.33) So the planet then takes on the nature of the people living on it. So our planet right at the moment is doing that. That’s why there are lots of areas of our planet that are quite arid and desert. There are quite a lot of areas of our planet being destroyed even naturally. There are quite a lot of areas of our planet where we are losing glaciers and we’re losing all these things that are quite essential for our living, our comfort. We’re losing a lot of these things because of the soul condition of man. So that you could say that the planet is taking on the characteristics or the soul attributes of each one of us are reflecting back at the planet. But it doesn’t mean the planet has a personality of its own, or a soul of its own. The soul of the planet, you could say, is our soul combined together, being reflected. (01.53.24) 18.4. What is God’s view on abortion? Participant: I’m wondering what you think of abortion? What I think of abortion? Participant: Yeah. It doesn’t matter what I think of abortion. What matters, is what God thinks of abortion. Participant: What does He think? Okay. What is abortion? Abortion is the taking of a life of a child, growing in the womb of its mother. And what actually happens at the soul level? What would that little soul be able to do if the mother never did it (the abortion)? (01.54.06) Well the little soul would be able to be born, it would be able to live a life on Earth where it’s gathering information, and it would be able to have a unique experience here on the Earth. As soon as you take that away you’re actually affecting the free will of the child. Anything that affects the free will of another person is actually in disharmony with Divine Love. So God’s opinion of it is it’s totally disharmonious with God’s Love. (01.54.32) Now, usually we choose to abort a child for lots of different reasons and they’re all emotional. The emotions might be that we’re afraid to bring the child into the world as it is today, or it might that we feel like we’re too old, or it might be that we’re too young, or it might be that we won’t be able to cope with it. And what God would prefer us to do is to deal with those emotions, rather than abort the child. (01.55.00) When we abort the child there is an emotion created within us that will have to be released through the Law of Compensation and to be frank it’s the same emotion that needs to be released by a murderer. So that is something to consider when we are in that state. Now of course many abortions don’t happen because of the choice of the mother only. Many of the abortions happen because of the choice of the father, who created the child as well, and so the Law of Compensation is acted upon both of those, not just the mother herself. (01.55.41) Of course if the mother decided to abort the child and the father wanted to keep it then that would be a different matter all together. But if the mother wants to destroy the child and the father wants to… Let’s say the male puts a lot of pressure on his wife to abort the child, then obviously the Law of Compensation will very much effect the male more than the mother, maybe. So every single situation is very different in the way the Law of Compensation affects it, but the truth is, that an abortion has the same affect on a person’s free will as a murder. (01.56.19) Participant: So, I’ve had four abortions and I’m wondering what is my relationship with these four souls? If you work through your emotions as to why you had the abortions, what will happen is you will be able to re-establish really good relationships with these four children you have. They’re all in the spirit world; they’ve all been looked after very, very well; they’ve all been loved. The key for you is to work your way through the emotions. When you work your way through the emotions the spirits who have looked after these children will be able to bring these children to you. And if it happened twenty or thirty years ago, forty years ago or whatever, many of these children will automatically feel drawn to you as you feel love for them. (01.57.11) So when you work your way through the Law of Compensation about this… and of course the Law of Repentance even overcomes that. So if you work through this issue with God and pray to God about having destroyed these persons’ free will choices and you let yourself feel that emotionally, what will happen is these young ones will be drawn to you. So by the time you pass you’ll probably have a very good relationship with them and you’ll be able to spend a lot of time with them and see them. (01.57.41) The key with all of my statements is not to take it as, “Oh you’re as bad as a murderer,” The truth is that there are sets of emotions inside of us that cause us to do things, often which later we regret terribly. The key for us is to direct our feelings of repentance and regret towards God and Divine Love or Grace will actually help us remove those emotional causes, which created the desire in us to have the abortion, or to do whatever we did, whether that’s harming anybody’s free will, let alone a child’s. So the key for us is to work through those emotions. When we do that we demonstrate our true repentance, our true sorrow. (01.58.25) Our true sorrow is dealt with completely when we have a pure desire to deal with every emotion that caused us to make the choice we made. So just allow yourself to work through those emotions that caused you to make the choices. Let yourself feel about them, pray to God about them, let yourself feel your emotions about them and also start to let yourself feel the desires you have to re-connect with these children because you do have those desires now. Let your self feel those desires as well and cry about the fact. You know allow yourself to grieve what has been done. And when you do that you will have a much stronger bond with them and you’ll feel them come to you when you do that. (01.59.08) Participant: And who is that, who does the forgiving? There are two that do the forgiving. Firstly God always forgives. So every single action you’ve ever taken, including one of abortion or murder or any other thing, God has automatically forgiven it. But what needs to happen inside of you is there needs to be this process of forgiveness of self that needs to occur. And that only occurs through this action of repentance or through the Law of Compensation. (01.59.40) So the forgiveness of self is really a focus on eventually not remembering. So when you go through the Law of Compensation if it’s with abortion, many women have gone through, thirty, forty, fifty a hundred years in the spirit world of the Law of Compensation of that, or, they’ve spent a few months working through their emotions with the Law of Repentence as to why they did it and God’s Divine Love enters them, takes away the cause, which means that they’ve automatically forgiven themselves. (02.00.10) So, every single person at some point will come to a complete knowledge of everything you’ve done in disharmony with love and you will also at some point have forgiven yourself for every single thing you did in disharmony with love. God has already forgiven you, but we don’t forgive ourselves, even when we think we have. The fact that we still think about it emotionally means that we haven’t forgiven. What will happen is you’ll get to a point where all of these things you feel within yourself as forgiven and you will have forgiven yourself and you’ll at that point know that forgiveness has occurred. And Divine Love is the operation, which can do it in a vastly speeded up manner by repentance. But if you don’t get involved in the Law of Repentance then you’re on the natural love path and you’ll have to go through the Law of Compensation. And that may be many hundreds of years dealing with such issues. (02.01.06) Participant: Thank you. 18.5. How do our parents choose us? Participant: How do our parents choose us? How do our parents choose us? By their emotional and soul condition! And there are literally billions of factors at play in the choice of a child at a soul level. So those of you who have heard my previous presentations know that it’s the parent’s soul condition that attracts the child into their life, the unborn child into their life. Now there are literally thousands, millions of conditions in this child that cause a certain type of child to be attracted. And those factors include things such as personality but they also include such things as emotional injuries, reflection of emotional injury between… So the parents might have a certain emotional injury that needs a certain type of child personality to trigger those injuries. That will be part of the Law of Attraction. There’ll also be environmental factors in the parent and what the child longs to do in its life. Remember the child doesn’t have a conscious longing, but remember there are child characteristics that cause the attraction as well. So the parent’s location might even cause the attraction to a certain child and so forth. There are literally like I say, millions of factors. (02.02.34) The key for us to be aware of as a parent is that, “I’ve attracted this child into my life, anything that this child is triggering in me, or any way this child is acting, is actually a reflection of my Law of Attraction.” So it’s really important for the parent to see that. (02.02.51) From a child’s perspective we often feel it’s so unjust where we’ve had a certain parent, but actually there are certain things inside of you, for instance, Morgan emotionally, that are going to vastly help your family when you get into a state of truth. So when you’re in a state of truth and love, you’ll find that you’ll become the leader in your family, of actually dealing with all these emotional causes within them and your whole family line, not only the ones that were born after you, but all the ones born before you, will benefit from that. So actually while you’re seeing being born into a certain family at the moment as a very disadvantageous thing, the reality is that in the future you’ll see it in a totally different light, once you’ve worked your way through some of the hurts that you have. (02.03.36) Participant: Thank you. 19. Closing Words Alright, well thank you very much for all your time today. Thank you. And we’ll catch up with everyone who wants to do the mediumship tomorrow obviously. So bring along your mediumship or healing roles and we’ll see how we go tomorrow. Thank you. (02.04.07) Appendix 1: Relationship With God: Longing (Praying) For Divine Love Seminar Outline What Is Prayer? A passionate desire & longing coming from the depth of our emotions (from the soul) directed towards God A pure, earnest and sincere yearning (seeking with all the heart) directed towards God What Divine Love Does To The Human Soul Read the message from Los Trenos (“Progress Into the Celestial Heavens” page 3 of this document) Divine Love expands the souls capacity to Love (and therefore expands the soul’s power and beauty) Divine Love transforms the soul into a new creature that becomes Divine and Godlike in nature Divine Love removes error (sin) from the soul through the Law of Repentance Eg. Error is like a splinter in our body Natural Love is like using the bodies natural processes to remove the splinter Divine Love is like cutting the splinter out of the body with the resultant instant relief Divine Love brings with it an emotional understanding of all of the secrets of the Universe (Divine Truth) “All of these other things will be added to you” Divine Love expands the souls sensitivity to emotions, passions, desires and feelings Divine Love allows the soul to transcend the 6th sphere of spiritual existence, into the spheres above Reminders of The Mechanism of Reception of Divine Love Diagram of the connection between our soul and God’s Soul If those emotions & feelings are harmonious with Love, God’s Soul instantly responds emotionally God “hears” our prayer by having an emotional response to our prayer, and instantly acting upon it Praying For Divine Love Read the Prayer on the last page Introduction The prayer contains the most powerful Divine Truths that help us connect to God When at-one with God, we come to feel about everything how God feels Prayer is like a deep desire to know God well as a friend, to understand Her Feelings & Emotions God “hears” our prayer by having an emotional response to our prayer, and instantly acting upon it God Loves all, but God’s personal Love cannot enter the soul that has not asked for it (Law of Free Will) God’s Love can only enter a soul that has desire to remove the error from itself & wants to practice Truth Remember it is the soul, and not the minds belief that controls the operation of the Holy Spirit Eg. In your mind you may believe you have self-worth, but at the soul level you may not Eg. In mind may believe in harmony with Truth but soul emotions be completely in disharmony God is a Being or Entity with Attributes & Characteristics This is a basic Divine Truth, and unless the soul accept it emotionally, we cannot receive Divine Love He is not some abstract force, without personality, nor is He part of or inside all His creation His Love, can be within or part of any of His children, depending on the at-onement that exists If God was just a force without personality, then a personal relationship with God would be impossible Eg. Illustration of Electricity. Electricity is a force, but is it an entity that can love you? If our concept of God is damaged, then we cannot enter a personal relationship with God We must first clear the emotions that cause our concept of God to be damaged God’s Nature is Beautiful God is Beautiful, Holy, Loving and Merciful, and, very important to understand, never wrathful If we believe God is wrathful, then we have an emotionally damaged concept of God God’s Nature is that of tender care for us, so we do not need to live in fear Since our soul has been created directly by God, we are all God’s Children in a direct sense We are all great in God’s eyes, none of us are more important or more blessed than the other If we are in error, we do not need to punish ourselves, since our Mother never feels such things We only need to come to recognize that we have further progress to make God will demonstrate to us the areas in our life where changes can be made only if we want to know We were created perfect God created the human race, and the soul itself, perfect Sin and error is of our own creation, a combination of our personally leading a life of error, our ancestors passing down error through the genetic code, actions performed by them that impact on our nature God does not, and has not made mistakes in our creation, any perceived mistakes are in fact erroneous Any erroneous concept of God will prevent our eventual at-onement with God We need to take personal responsibility for the existence of sin and error within us, in: 1. within the material body in things such as disease and sickness 2. within the spiritual body in issues of spiritual health and morality 3. and within the soul with issues of love for others, love for partner, and love for our Father God will never force her Love upon an individual without the soul of the individual longing for that Love If we choose to keep the feelings and thoughts that are error we prevent God Love entering us We are worthy of Love Any feeling that we are “not good enough”, “unworthy”, “unloved by God”, “alone in this world”, “without anyone that cares for us”, “bad inside”, “unable to be redeemed”, “unable to be forgiven” and many of such similar feeling are emotions of error which will prevent Her Love from flowing to us. Eg. If we are sad within our soul, we can deny that sadness with our mind, and use denial tools Eg. We could choose to feel the sadness, experience and release it, which allows space for Love We need to understand that a part of worthiness is to validate and experience our own emotions Each time we release, if we pray to God for Love, these dormant feelings no longer block Her Love When we feel unworthy, we are in disagreement with God’s own opinion of us God desires Our Love God’s desire is that we become at-one with Him God’s desire is that we have a personal relationship Her God does not desire or create us to live alone and unloved God desires our love, but does not demand our love Our love is the most precious gift that we can give God, and God cherishes our love We come to God in Truth, understanding Divine Love & Truth are priceless Love cannot flow to a more complete degree unless the soul also accepts and believes Truth. God’s Love is not available to us if we refuse Divine Truth (which is different to personal “truth”) Our reception of God’s Divine Love is dependent to a large extent on our personal love of Truth If we have emotional injuries about God, & continue to reject the Truth about God, we reject Divine Love We may reject truth for many reasons: We may not wish to take personal responsibility for our personal beliefs and feelings We may wish to blame others for our emotions We may feel that others should accept the Truth first We may not want to feel our hurt pride or become the laughing stock of others We may prefer to accept the lie so we can stay friends with those whose love is conditional. We may feel that if we accept the truth family and friends may reject us So our personal love of truth may not be as strong as we thought God’s Love and Truth are priceless; we must understand it is a treasure of the highest value If we reject Divine Truth for any reason, we are saying to God that Her Truth now has lesser value Love of God does not involve sacrifice God is abundance, so sacrifice of any kind is not called for Everything in the Universe is God’s; there is nothing we can sacrifice that would demand Her Love There is nothing we can do to make us more worthy to receive Divine Love Because of the gift of Free Will God cannot take our love from us if we are unwilling to give it Because of the gift of Free Will God cannot take give us Her Love if we are unwilling to receive it If we feel we have “made the sacrifice” to obtain Divine Love, then we are yet to understand God or Love Receiving God’s Love requires an open soul Before the Love can be felt by a soul desirous of its inflowing, our soul must be open to the inflowing God will not open up our souls to the inflowing of Divine Love, unless we want it to occur from the soul Our openness at the soul level depends on our humility, our willingness to feel all our own emotions God will assist us to open our soul using methods that also have the effect of confronting the error that is preventing the opening of the soul The Holy Spirit God’s Holy Spirit is the medium or conduit by which God’s Personal Love is impressed upon our soul Holy Spirit requires that our soul be opened by other methods before it can transmit God’s Love Holy Spirit connects instantly with a soul that is open to the inflowing of God’s Love Holy Spirit is so sensitive to our soul longings that it senses the instant a connection is longed for Holy Spirit is so sensitive to the intensity of the longing & makes connection proportional to the intensity The Holy Spirit is God’s special force or energy used to transmit Divine Love to Human Souls Attributes of God’s Love God’s Love is infinitely abundant; there is no limit to the amount we can receive God’s Love is the only substance that can totally transform us into the Divine state, and give immortality Once we have received of God’s Love to the extent required, we experience the complete transformation Divine Love expands the souls capacity to Love (and therefore expands the soul’s power and beauty) The Role Of Faith True Faith is a knowing of things real, substantial, things are have been and are continuing to be proven Faith makes the aspirations and longings of the soul a real, living existence, so certain with no doubt Faith is a progressive quality, and it increases as possession of this Divine Love increases Once we are conscious that Divine Love is always within us, our faith also is now continuously felt God Is Abundant & Perfect God gives us everything, does not expect us to live in poverty, or embrace a life of self-denial & sacrifice We will always be provided for When our struggle for existence ceases to become a struggle we have come to know God’s abundance God’s Love us truly unconditional, only we ourselves can prevent Her Love from flowing into our souls The humble soul makes all effort to find feelings and emotions within that prevent connection with God Any prevention of the flow of God’s Love into our soul is always personal Any lack of abundance in our life, or others lives, must firstly be addressed by our own Law of Attraction Longing Of The Soul Is Required Our earnest aspiration, our soul longings, are the method by which Divine Love will flow We need to understand that feelings, emotions, aspirations, inspirations & desires come from ourselves We are not controlled by any force outside of ourselves, this is the truth of personal responsibility If Divine Love is not being received, then the cause for this is within ourselves (and not with God) Make the transition from blaming others for emotions, to taking personal ownership of emotions Take action in personal life to live a life of Truth, this honours your soul feelings & emotions God Has An Unlimited Nature Since God is perfect in Love, She will never betray herself to provide us with our desires We will act in the same manner in our own relationships when we understand this about God’s Nature As we receive Divine Love, God’s Unlimited Nature becomes a part of our nature, we become powerful As we grow and progress, our soul will possess more of God’s Love, we will express more love to others God’s immense power is seen when we see that each of us can receive Divine Love to more abundance Temptations Of The Flesh Temptations of the flesh are caused by feelings, emotions and desires in disharmony with God’s Love Responding to these temptations does not assist our soul progression and personal happiness The process of overcoming temptations, is not by using the mind to force the desires, feelings & emotions When we allow the ‘temptations of the flesh’ they influence our ability to receive God’s Love Eg. Desire for food versus gluttony Eg. Desire for sex in harmony with Love verses sexual promiscuity without true love Eg. Desire for abundance versus greed God does not punish us, but actions that lead us away from Love hurt us emotionally; we hurt ourselves Associations Affect Us Our associations affect us; they influence us in many ways, for good or evil. Eg. Drinkers, smokers, sex addicts etc We cannot generally see that which is invisible to us, so we usually cannot see evil spirits surrounding us Spirit’s motive for influencing us is to experience the satisfaction of the desires they had while living Influence can be felt with all types of destructive behaviour, drinking, drugs, smoking, sexual activity, etc Spirits with bad motives or incorrect beliefs may take action to prevent mortals from following the truth Spirits who have never followed the Divine Love path will always influence us towards Natural Love Spirits can be in just as much spiritual darkness as we personally are or even be in a worse condition Many spirits and mediums do not respect God’s Gift of Free Will (telling others what to do) Listening to these can result in abdicating personal responsibility, taking actions damaging to ourselves It is beneficial for us to develop in Divine Love before we attempt to get advice from the spirit world Be Thankful Thankfulness & gratitude are important qualities, a product of our feelings and emotions of appreciation How can we not be thankful for what we have, and then ask for more than what we have? “What a lousy gift, you did not spend much on that, I did not really want it anyway, you can have it back” Sincere thankfulness and appreciation connect us to even greater feelings of Love from God God Is Never Wrathful If make decisions that result in disconnection from God, God does not punish us or become angry We are being perfectly led, so there is never any need for punishment When we come to see that we are the creator of our own life, we will avoid behaviour that hurts us When we are insensitive to our own soul, we have a lot of difficulty understanding pleasure & pain God created us & the Universe so that we eventually are happy, so punishment is unnecessary Earnest & Sincere Longings Our prayer comes from the soul, is expressed by feelings, emotions, desires, inspiration and aspiration The prayer needs to be felt within us before our Father can feel our sincere longings of the soul This is something we have complete control over, the expressions of our own soul’s longings Give God Glory As we progress in the development of our soul, we exceed the being we were originally created as We become a new being, Born Again into His Love to the extent that we are now a part Divine Love We have a part of God’s Divine Nature within us, immortal, powerful, loving, compassionate; with infinite capacity She created within us to grow and be taught by Her We are yet to fully know how much God has done in Her Desire for us to experience Her Love God is deserving of all the glory and the honour our finite souls can give, Amen References, Music and Movies Movie: “August Rush” 2007.

Volume Los Trenos Tells Of His Progress Into The Celestial Heavens I AM HERE, Los Trenos: I am the spirit of a man who was murdered in the Inquisition of Spain, because I would not declare that I believed in the false and damnable doctrines of the Romish Church. I was a student of the Bible, and I learned that the church was not teaching and enforcing the true doctrines of Jesus, and I would not surrender my beliefs, even to save my life. The unholy and devilish priests and persecutors racked my body and tortured my mind, and at last tore me asunder, but my soul preserved its faith, and came into the spirit world in the fullness of its belief, all unspotted from these false teachings of the church. There were many who were tortured and killed as I was, because they would not recant. Well, I became a spirit in all the vigor of my manly strength, and greater, but I did not find myself in heaven as I expected, for I did not know what the great love was, but, yet, I was not in such darkness as were some of my persecutors who followed me into spirit life. Of course, I was more or less human, and when these church devils came into spirit life and found themselves in hell, I naturally rejoiced and enjoyed, for a time, their sufferings and condition of hellish torment and used to visit them to charge them with my murder; but after some years, I realized that such satisfaction as I thought I experienced did not give me happiness or help me to progress, and I became sympathetic and tried to help them, which was not easy to do at first. As I continued to help them I found that my soul was being benefitted and that I was gradually getting out of the darkness in which I had been living, and so I continued this work until at last I came into the light and a knowledge of the truth that by helping and trying to love my enemies, I was helping myself. I will not take the time to relate to you my fortune in meeting some spirits who, I know, possessed the great love of the Father, and how they taught me the way to this love, but will only say that now I am one of the redeemed children of God, and the possessor of that love and have my home in the celestial heavens, and to show you how wide and all embracing is this great love, I must inform you that some of these very priests and minions of the church, who committed the outrages of which I speak, are now in the celestial heavens also, and, of course, possessors of this great love, all their sins having been eradicated by the merciful workings of this love in their souls. Of course, they suffered the torments of the damned when they first came to spirit life and for a long time afterwards, but the love of the Father and His mercy were sufficient to wash away, even their sins. So from this you will see that there is no sin so heinous and deadly that the Father's love will not destroy, or rather, the effect of it. You must excuse me for intruding as I have, but I saw that you have the gift of receiving communications from this side of the great divide and I wanted to try the experiment. I am a redeemed child of God and can never thank Him enough for his mercy. So with my love, I will say goodnight. Your brother in Christ, LOS TRENOS, the martyr to a belief that was not the true belief, but not so vile and ungodly as the one that he renounced. Appendix 2: The Prayer for Divine Love The Setting Mt Tabor, Thaddeus asked "I don't want to appear stupid, but in fact, I don't know how to pray." The others were silent. Of course they all wanted to know the answer, but were afraid to ask the question. Nobody had been taught it. It was something different to participating in the rites of the Temple, and to fulfil the norms of conduct as the Torah demands them, rather than to pray or to converse with somebody who they could not see. How can one speak to somebody who is invisible? How could we know if He was listening to us or not? So Taddi had formulated our question with courage and frankness. I explained to them that eventually we would always feel the presence of God ever stronger. The eyes and the ears of our souls would open up and we would know that the Father was always with us, listening to us unfailingly and watching over us. When praying do not use needless repetitions expecting God to listen because of the number of words. Your Father knows what things you need before you ask Him. He wants your longings, your true desire to be in communion with Him. Although the Father knows all that worries you or makes you happy, He needs you to express his desires to demonstrate your will to accept His guidance and His gifts, because He respects you, and even more, He loves you, and therefore, He will never impose His Will upon you. The Father in Heaven is like a magnificent King who grants an audience to all His people at all times. He likes to hear people telling Him of their happiness and He listens to their problems. And to all people who approach Him, He gives exactly what they may need. This is prayer: The audience with our true King, informing him of our desires and problems, our happiness and sadness. When we open up our hearts, He opens up His, and when we need, He gives with wisdom. The Prayer Our Father, Who is in Heaven, we recognize that You are All Holy and Loving and Merciful, and that we are Your Children, and not the subservient, sinful and depraved creatures that false teachers would have us believe. We know that we are the Greatest of Your Creations, and the Most Wonderful of all Your Handiworks, and the objects of your Great Soul’s Love and Tender Care. We know that Your Will is that we become At-One with You and partake of Your Great Love which You have bestowed upon us through Your Mercy and desire that we become, in truth, Your Children through Love, and not through the sacrifice and death of any of Your Creatures. We pray that You will open up our Souls to the inflowing of Your Love, and that then will come your Holy Spirit to bring into our Souls this, Your Divine Love, in Great Abundance, until our Souls are transformed into the Very Essence of Yourself; and that there will come to us Faith—such Faith as will cause us to realize that we are truly Your Children and one with You in Very Substance, and not in image only. Let us have such Faith as will cause us to know that You are Our Father, and the Bestower of every Good and Perfect Gift, and that, only we ourselves, can prevent Your Love changing us from the mortal into the Immortal. Let us never cease to realize that Your Love is waiting for each and all of us, and, that when we come to You, in Faith and Earnest Aspiration, Your Love will never be withheld from us. Keep us in the shadow of Your Love every hour and moment of our lives, and help us to overcome all temptations of the flesh, and the influence of the powers of the evil ones who so constantly surround us and endeavour to turn our thoughts away from You to the pleasures and allurements of this world. We thank You for Your Love and the privilege of receiving it, and we believe that You are Our Father—the Loving Father who smiles upon us in our weakness, and is always ready to help us and take us to Your Arms of Love. We pray this with all the earnestness and sincere longings of our Souls, and, trusting in Your Love, give You all the Glory and Honour and Love that our finite souls can give. AMEN.
