Judging Others Is Counterproductive.

As spiritual practitioners, we cannot aspire to love the whole world and at the same time be judgemental. Judgement creates division, an ‘us and them’ of those we approve of and those we don’t. By befriending even those who are widely reviled in society, we may bring a blessing into their lives that helps them to progress towards the light.

We who know of God’s divine love are deeply blessed by this love and the presence of God’s angels in our lives. We need to have compassion for those who are filled with negativity and who may have a long path of suffering in front of them before they start turning towards the light. Truly, it has been said that ‘they know not what they do’ because everyone wants happiness and none would choose a path leading to intense suffering if they were aware in advance of the consequences of their choices.

When we indulge in negativity, we attract dark spirits to us who delight in reinforcing those inclinations. So even after we start walking the divine path, we must be vigilant and resist all temptation to express ourselves in negative ways, otherwise our own light will be dimmed and we will delay our own spiritual awakening. While God is giving us the transformative power of divine love, our role is to avoid giving our power to negativity in any form.

Divine Love Is The Great Destroyer Of Sin.

Our souls are the only part of us made in God’s image. However, we have the potential to be infilled with God’s own divine soul substance and thereby become ‘as one’ with God. This love causes a great spiritual awakening in us that cannot be achieved in any other way. It brings new divine soul perceptions and abilities, along with the sure knowledge of being immortal. Becoming divine does not cause us to lose our individuality or personality, as some may fear.

When we pray earnestly for this love, God’s Holy Spirit brings it into our souls. In this process, all the encrustations around our soul caused by sinful thoughts and actions are steadily removed. Eventually, we come into full harmony with our Creator.

The consequences of the law of compensation, whereby we suffer in proportion to our wrongdoings, are progressively nullified by the divine love we accumulate in our souls. Once the darkness around our souls has been eliminated then there is nothing for the law of compensation to act on and we become fully relieved of the penalties of our past sins. This is a remarkable blessing from God whereby the suffering normally associated with transgressing God’s laws is circumvented by the activation of a higher divine law.

Divine love is, therefore, truly the fulfilling of the law and the great destroyer of sin and error from our being. It allows us to avoid or shorten the potentially long period of soul expiation that spirits face when they enter the spirit world and their conscience confronts them with the memories of their past negativity.

Live Your Best Life In God’s Love.

As the world becomes an ever more dark and chaotic place to live, many are looking beyond science, philosophy and other mindful disciplines in a search for true meaning in their lives.

The truth is simple. Love is the foundation of all happiness. An absence of love causes suffering. There are different types of love, such as the natural love we are born with and soulmate love. But the highest of all is the love that forms the essence of God’s own great soul – divine love. Our souls can be progressively transformed to be of this same substance through sincere prayer. This love causes us to develop divine soul perceptions and consciousness that we cannot gain in any other way. Eventually, this new soul consciousness comes to dominate our awareness. The divine journey brings unimaginable joy, meaning and truth to our lives. By comparison, the daily diet of mundane thoughts and distractions generated by our material minds doesn’t bring the lasting happiness we’re looking for. Yes, we have to function in the material world and deal with everyday affairs but the highest good for ourselves, those we love and the whole world comes from the time we spend with God, receiving divine love and doing God’s will.

Those who study the bible will see that the love brought by the Holy Spirit is different in nature to the natural love we are all familiar with. The Padgett Messages were dictated by the highest beings in the spirit world and describe in great detail what divine love is, what it means for our future happiness, and the consequences for those who instead choose to progress on the alternative path of natural love.

If you truly open up to God in prayer, you will feel the sensation of divine love coming into your soul. Few turn back once they start receiving this great gift. Are you ready to accept the offer to live your best life in God’s love?

It’s Time To Wear The Mantle Of Divinity.

As someone who has never belonged to any religious organisation, I was amazed when I discovered the following personally verifiable facts: Jesus came to this world to announce that God had made available to everyone the very special gift of divine love. That this love is fundamentally different from the love we are born with. That it can progressively become part of our innermost being simply by sincerely asking for it, causing God’s Holy Spirit to deliver it into our soul. That it will eventually cause us to be totally free of sin and error whereby we become fit to inhabit the highest realms of the afterlife that cannot be reached any other way.

This one truth is simple and powerful. We are told that developing one’s soul in divine love is the normal way of life on countless other planets. It unlocks endless new perceptions and abilities as we walk along the divine path. It dissolves all of the negative human conditioning that we have accumulated since birth.

Applying this one truth diligently in our lives will bring everything of a spiritual nature we could possibly desire. Our minds will undoubtedly try to make the truth more complex. In many respects, our mind is not our friend. We’ve been indoctrinated since birth in ways that are not in harmony with God. Now is the time to listen to our soul’s true desires and walk the highest path hand in hand with God. In donning the mantle of divinity, our soul becomes transformed into the same substance as God’s own great soul, bringing us guaranteed immortality.

Pray to God with the utmost sincerity and you will immediately feel this love entering your being. Only we ourselves can prevent it from becoming part of us. The world needs as many of us as possible to adopt the divine if we are to rebuild the world to be in harmony with God’s true desires for us.

Time To Get Over Ourselves?

There’s a rather unkind expression that gets used about people who take themselves too seriously, namely, ‘Get over yourself’. It may also be appropriate to say it to ourselves in a kindly manner when we need to take more responsibility for our circumstances, to stop being a victim and put aside the melodrama of life.

When we receive divine love into our souls, then we start to heal inside and we develop new gifts that can help us cope and thrive in our life on earth. This is a wonderful journey that is full of joy and deep meaning. But if we hold on to outdated views of who we are then we may fail to recognise any new strengths and abilities we acquire. So we should proactively seek to grow into the new version of us that is unfolding every day with every prayer. As an example, we should seek our own guidance from God and God’s angels instead of automatically relying on others on earth who we look up to. This recognises that everyone here is fallible and that the highest guidance needs to reflect our personal circumstances.

Spiritual maturity comes so slowly that we can doubt whether we’ve really changed. Consequently, we indulge our old bad habits because we allow them to feel more real than who we’ve become deep down. There is an alternative to being hoodwinked by our own minds. Divine love, blessings from God and the help of divine beings who we attract to us, along with our own commitment and vigilance, allow us to truly get over ourselves and progress steadily along the path towards the celestial kingdom.

Feeling Empty Inside Is A Hidden Blessing.

One of the many reasons people turn to God is because they feel empty inside. There is a hidden blessing in this because it means a space has already been created that God can fill with love. Those who lead a very full, satisfying material existence often struggle to make room for God in their lives, even though deep down a hole exists inside them also.

The impulse to turn to God comes from our soul, deep inside us. The yearnings of the soul often go unrecognised and unanswered. A lack of love and meaning in our lives is the true underlying cause of these feelings. Deep down we have a primal desire to feel enveloped in God’s love.

Divine love comes into our souls when we pray to God sincerely for it to become part of our being. As our soul fills with love, it utterly transforms us. It reveals within us a new, deeper sense of self that we never knew existed. This is the true foundation of happiness.

Although we may feel an emptiness, since love doesn’t actually take up any space inside us then we can continue to pray for divine love for all eternity, all the while experiencing an ever closer relationship with God.

Resistance to God is built into our minds and the world around us. Finding God is not easy. Those who find their way during the brief period of our earth lives are truly blessed.

Moving Past The Past.

All of us carry psychological baggage from our pasts. What we’ve experienced often distorts our judgement and thoughts in ways that are unhealthy and don’t lead to happiness. Yet, moving past our pasts can be very difficult. The spiritual damage we do to ourselves through negative thinking, whether self-directed or otherwise, is not necessarily something we are aware of or can readily assess. There are a number of examples described in the Padgett Messages of those who thought they had led tolerably good lives on earth, only to find they wake up in considerable darkness when they pass over to the spirit world.

If we’re spiritually inclined, we may feel we’re morally ‘better’ than most others we know and therefore don’t have to worry unduly about our day-to-day behaviour and what conditions may await us after death. It’s easy to avoid looking at who we’ve become. It takes great courage to be truthful with ourselves and fight against our lack of self-awareness.

To combat any complacency and ensure our true happiness, we should consider honestly how God wants us to be. Since God is all loving, then we should try to follow this example literally and become all loving in our attitudes. Praying sincerely for divine love to fill our souls is the single most important thing we can do to progress towards God. Over time, this love will purify and heal us and eradicate much that blights our beings. The second most important thing we can do is to police our minds and avoid habitually indulging in harmful thoughts. God won’t change our thoughts – that’s our responsibility. Rather than reacting instinctively to situations and events as they transpire, it helps to consider for a moment how a great spiritual figure would react in our place. Being angry and wanting instant karma for those who act in ways that we disapprove of, for example, isn’t God’s way. We need to have faith that all of God’s laws are perfect. This makes it easier to detach ourselves from events in our own lives and the wider world. It doesn’t mean we don’t care what happens, just that we acknowledge that reacting instinctively and emotionally may be counterproductive.

Being loving at all times is hard. However, expressing negativity harms us as individuals and fans the negative waves of energy in the world that true spiritual seekers want to neutralise.

God’s Narrative Is What Counts.

We’ve all spent a lifetime hearing about all kinds of  badly behaved prominent people in society. Their litany of dismal headlines and bad examples has provided the backdrop to our lives, an ungodly narrative that, sadly, reflects some darker aspects of human behaviour.

Meanwhile, science has persuaded many to disregard God as mere superstition. Scandals in religious organisations haven’t exactly helped endear people to religion.

So wherever we look around us for inspiration, meaning and role models, we’re often disappointed.

For me, the only narrative that really counts is the faint whisper in my soul, all too easily ignored, that comes from God. God wants to co-create the narrative to our lives with us. A journey through life that is in harmony with our Creator and brings us great joy.

Fortunately, there’s a growing number of lightworkers in the world who want a better, more spiritual world based on love and peace. Their values are so different from the norm that they largely go unrecognised by wider society. What they believe in, which is a better world, isn’t even considered newsworthy.

The highest path to God is to pray to be filled with divine love, which will eventually remake us as divine souls that experience Christ Consciousness. Once we establish ourselves on this path, it’s unlikely we’ll ever turn back. Divine love and our relationship with our Creator then become the living narrative to our existence that we can joyfully engage in forever.

Belief Is Not Enough.

Some who choose a spiritual path are satisfied with merely acquiring a set of beliefs that appeal to their minds. Thereafter, they feel sure that their knowledge of these beliefs will bring them all the benefits they imagine are necessary for their future happiness.

Regardless of whether their specific beliefs are right or wrong, this approach often disregards the necessity for any deep change within one’s being. Leading a moral life and doing God’s work on earth brings its own rewards. But unless there is a deep remaking and rebirth of one’s being in God’s love, then any happiness that is experienced will be limited and not of the kind that God wants us to have. For those who choose to receive God’s divine love, what lies ahead is a magnificent transformation whereby the manufactured reality that we experience through our minds is, over time, entirely replaced by an ever-growing, God-given, divine consciousness. This love brings a profound joy to the soul.

Unfortunately, we have a strong, inbuilt tendency to cling to who we are and what we know. Even after all the suffering we undergo in a human life, it takes courage to be willing to step into a new version of ourselves. It’s easier to adopt spiritual beliefs that give us a safe path forward and don’t challenge our sense of who we are. All who choose this apparently safer path will eventually purify the natural love they were born with and, in time, will enjoy a great deal of contentment.

We are told that only a relatively small part of humanity will ever choose to go beyond the boundaries of perfected natural love. And that, in general, even the great spiritual leaders of the past have never ventured further in all the time that has elapsed since they were on earth. The first and most prominent exception is Jesus, who showed us the way to the highest realms of the afterlife, namely, the celestial kingdom. Only those who are wholly divine can enter these realms. The journey starts with the recognition that we need to be reborn in divine love and thereafter allow our growing soul consciousness to gradually replace that which we are familiar with.

Life Happened To Them, Too.

Recently, I was somewhat surprised and disappointed to see how unloving I can still be at times, despite praying for and receiving divine love for a number of years. What happened to make these negative attitudes so ingrained? The answer is that life happened, just as it did to those I’ve expressed intolerance towards. A life on earth that is far from God’s ideal for all of us.

We need to have compassion for ourselves and others. We rarely consciously set out to be who we become in life. Things happen and we can easily change in ways that are unloving, perhaps in small steps we don’t notice. We’re surrounded by examples of unloving behaviour that aren’t a good influence on us. Even after starting to receive divine love from our Creator, being full of love isn’t likely to be how we feel most of the time.

If we could experience on earth the loving environment we’re told exists in the spirit world, then I doubt we’d ever succumb to negativity in the first place. This is something to reflect on. Why should we let our environment play a detrimental role in determining who we are? The spiritual battleground is between mind and soul, which requires us to persevere in our prayers and be vigilant with regard to our thoughts. We should be a loving example to others and be a friend to all, even those who’ve chosen very different values to us in the precarious journey we all traverse through life.

Don’t Become A Lost Soul.

In the history of the world, the number of beings who have been conscious of what divine love is and conscious of receiving it is altogether negligible compared to the number who have lived. To achieve this experience during one’s earthly life is a blessing beyond measure. It creates the real possibility of progressing to the celestial kingdom within a very short time after entering the spirit world. In the Padgett Messages, Helen Padgett, who appears to have been an exceptional person, was able to enter the celestial kingdom within a year or so of passing into the spirit world.

By contrast, it’s not uncommon for spirits on the path of natural love to spend hundreds or even thousands of years perfecting themselves before entering the highest spirit heavens that sit below the celestial kingdom. Many souls feel lost and directionless when initially confronted with the immensity of the spirit world. Their earth lives have left them ill-equipped to navigate the spirit world. Many are simply happy that their basic needs are being met in a way that they weren’t on earth. Few seem to be in any hurry to experience a spiritual awakening. However, none who read these words and believe in the transformative power of divine love need fear becoming a lost soul.

Nor does seeking our own highest good make the divine path a selfish one. What we do on earth doesn’t go unnoticed by those who are close to us in the spirit world. My parents weren’t religious when on earth. I’ve been told by my celestial guides that they’re now on the divine path as a direct consequence of their interest in my experiences of divine love and through meeting my divine guides. I’m learning that when we aim for the highest, we help not just ourselves but also those closest to us, as well as many unseen spirits who watch our example. At those times when we draw our divine guides close, other spirits on the earth plane of the spirit world are attracted by the light and watch the proceedings. They too, are often benefited.

It’s easy to be dismissive of divine love or to underestimate its impact on our lives. A healthy dose of scepticism certainly seems well founded in relation to worldly affairs in general. But I’ve learnt that it would be a very big mistake to not take everything about divine love very seriously. The journey doesn’t need to involve blind faith. Waymarkers in various forms will pop up in our lives and provide the personal proof we need that we’re on a wonderful path to the celestial kingdom.

Progress On The Divine Path.

How do you recognise the progress you’re making on the divine path? Well, in the earlier stages, you may not see a lot of change, as life will likely continue in much the same way as before.

The experience of receiving divine love varies with the individual. It may be accompanied by a physical sensation. I feel divine love as a distinct cool energy, a bit like having goosebumps but on the inside (if that makes sense), usually in the chest area. I have never heard anyone else make this particular comparison. It may be accompanied by feelings of wellbeing and joy depending on one’s overall condition at the time. This wellbeing is quite unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced – it feels profound and unearthly, as if one has been directly touched by God, which is, in fact, the case. The physical sensation tends to be very short-lived in my experience – perhaps a few seconds or tens of seconds. It can be extended, depending on one’s ability to sustain the emotional feelings that trigger the flow of love. The feelings of wellbeing may persist for some time, depending on factors such as whether mundane earthly demands interfere and cause us to switch back to our normal selves.

Over time, a number of changes will gradually emerge. These may include some or all of the following (not in any particular order). This list is by no means comprehensive and is intended merely to give a sense of some of what to expect.

In their interactions with others, divine love practitioners will become increasingly humble in nature and more discerning of the needs of those they’re talking to.

They generally won’t talk a great deal about themselves and their experiences unless they have a strong feeling that it would be beneficial. Experiences, by their nature, are very personal, and if the audience is not spiritually ready, then they won’t understand and may end up rejecting the speaker. Viewpoints tend to change only slowly with experience rather than as a result of hearing personal anecdotes. Besides, spiritual experiences are a personal gift from God for your benefit alone and may mean little to others, even those closest to you.

To avoid the risk of creating disharmony, practitioners won’t correct you or tell you what mistakes you’re making except in special circumstances. It’s a mistake to point out errors and faults in another if you know that they have no interest in changing. Instead, the practitioner may stay quiet and just pray for that individual and move on. The soul connection that they make with another is what provides the most help.

They develop a heightened ability to be able to communicate with the spirit world and celestial beings in particular.

They become proficient at reading a person’s personality and sometimes know about specific events in a person’s life as soon as they meet them.

They develop an increasingly profound sense of fundamental truths that doesn’t rely on words, thoughts or anything else that comes from the material mind.

They start to lose their sense of personal willfulness and find themselves submitting more readily to God’s will.

God’s love will also awaken a unique combination of gifts in our souls, such as the power of healing, inspired speaking, etc.

The absence of these enhanced abilities doesn’t mean you aren’t making progress. The power of our mind can obscure the state of our soul for a long time. In fact, it’s unlikely we will become fully aware of our internal soul state until after we pass over.

Where you are on the path is less important than simply appreciating divine changes for what they give you. If you persevere, regardless of how you feel day to day, then at some point, you are guaranteed to be able to look back and be amazed at what you’ve achieved.
