God exists, and God is love. Any knowledge our material minds have of God is little more than speculation; only our souls can truly know God. This is because God is soul and soul speaks only to soul; what bubbles up to our minds is at best an interpretation of what the soul knows and understands.
Our intellect, which we cherish so much and which is so indispensable to our normal daily lives, is not suited to discerning great spiritual truths. All our material minds can ever glean is a second hand, pale imitation of the truth. Faith can be thought of as the product of the deep abiding knowledge of the soul whereas the material mind has to make do with mere intellectual beliefs that are liable to change over time. Even our souls need continuous development in order to discern ever higher truths.
Trying to perceive truth through the study of myriads of spiritual teachings of variable quality, or by gaining mental impressions that originate in the deeper layers of the soul, is a haphazard way of discerning God’s laws. In addition, because our souls are made only in the image of God and not of God’s own actual divine soul substance, then the range of truths that we can understand at the outset of our search is extremely limited. God’s reality is a divine reality and is governed by a set of divine laws. These cannot be understood until our souls have been developed to a sufficient extent by the inflow of God’s divine soul essence, which opens up within us new divine soul perceptions and abilities. This divine essence is also referred to as divine love and is the most amazing and mysterious substance in existence. It develops within us a new divine consciousness that eventually completely transcends the consciousness that we are familiar with. How else could we ever understand God?
It is a common misconception that since God made us then we are already divine, and all we have to do is meditate on, or ‘polish up’, what is inside us in order to realise our divine nature. This is not true. Just as God has not given every living type of entity a soul, God created human beings using a natural life essence that is not inherently divine. It is not that there’s anything wrong with polishing up what is inside you – you will be very happy but you will not become divine. You can perhaps start to sense that the divine love path doesn’t require you to give up anything you believe in that is making you a better person. Divine love is for everyone, regardless of existing beliefs.
God, who respects our free will, has given us the choice of whether we become divine or not. Divinity brings with it the sure knowledge of being immortal. A divine being can no more cease to exist than God can cease to exist. This is because our soul is transformed to be of the same substance as God’s own soul. It is understandable that when someone goes through the process of bodily death and finds they are still alive that they assume this proves immortality. This is not the case and it is unknown whether those who lack the divine essence will continue to exist for ever or not.
Divine love also makes us free of sin and error by removing all darkness that has accumulated around our souls. This form of redemption is a profound blessing from God that brings us freedom from the tyranny of negative conditioning that afflicts us all to a greater or lesser extent.
There is only one way that God has prescribed by which we may become divine and that is by issuing our heartfelt, soulful longings to God asking to be granted this great gift of divine love, which will make us ‘as one’ with our Creator. Some may be fearful that becoming as one with God means losing their individuality but we are assured by our divine friends who have followed this path that this is not the case. In fact, the whole purpose of our soul incarnating in an earthly body was to gain individuality and personality that we didn’t have prior to that point. Individuality is therefore fundamentally important to God’s plan for us and not something we can ever lose. Becoming divine does not make us God and we remain finite individuals who will continue to progress for all eternity in divine love.
Many people have had the experience of issuing a heartfelt prayer to God in a crisis and receiving a portion of divine love without necessarily being aware of it. However, those who have conscious knowledge of divine love will tend to make a point of praying for it frequently, thereby assuring themselves of a future in the celestial realms of the afterlife, which sit above those spheres where spirits whose souls have only the natural love that they were born with are constrained to reside.
We may doubt that the most important spiritual truth we can ever know (apart from God being love) is that we can become as one with God through praying for divine love. However, God has made the truth simple so that everyone can understand it.
Most people are not aware that there are these two spiritual paths – the path of natural love and the divine love path. Nor is it easy at first to see how the paths and the two types of love differ. Most of us are not even conscious of having a soul so how much harder is it to understand what it means to have a divine soul? Fortunately, a great deal of information has been provided to mankind through various mediums over the past century by those beings who reside in the celestial realms of the afterlife. The first medium who revealed the truth of divine love was a Washington D.C. lawyer named James Padgett, in the early twentieth century. His writings were published in four volumes long after his death and are now widely available for free on the internet. Collectively, his writings are referred to as the Padgett Messages.
If you have any doubts that what you are reading is the truth then you have nothing to lose by trying an experiment whereby you pray earnestly for divine love for a period of time and see what the results are. More will be said about how to open up your soul so that a special spirit of God (which I will call the Comforter) is able to bestow this love into the aspirant’s soul.
Also, if you doubt that there are mediums out there who receive messages from the spirit world then there is nothing to stop you becoming a medium yourself and getting information first hand! There are countless celestial beings who would like nothing better than to talk to you! Yes, it takes time and effort but no-one said the spiritual path would be easy. Above all, don’t let anyone, especially yourself, tell you you can’t do it!
I myself had no special talents along those lines but I set out to develop some degree of mediumship only because I could see a great need for closer direct cooperation between this world and the higher realms of the spirit world. (For the record, I don’t see myself as by any means the best qualified person to write a book like this but ‘the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few’ as the saying goes.)
Prior to discovering divine love, I spent decades studying various religions and ways of living. Yes, I found truth in all of them but, for me, the divine love teachings stand out as the only approach that actually FEEDS THE SOUL rather than the mind. While divine love has been around for thousands of years and is mentioned in various religious and spiritual writings, until the Padgett Messages were published there was no body of teachings that provide clear insight into what it is and why we should want it. Being a divine love practitioner is by no means incompatible with holding other religious and spiritual beliefs.
In this book I have tried to adopt a ‘light touch’ to make the contents a digestible starting point for aspiring divine love practitioners. I provide references to other material that goes into divine love more deeply for those who wish to know more. My sincere wish is that this book will help you to take the first step to becoming a celestial divine angel! You don’t need any intermediary between you and God, nor do you need to join any religious organisation. Reassuringly, when you start out on the divine path one or more divine guides from the spirit world will be assigned to help you on your way.
Finally, it takes great faith to believe in a God and spirit world that we cannot see and to make spirituality a fundamental part of our lives. What we have not experienced seems at best like a dream, so I wish you every success in turning your dreams into reality.
