The World Needs To Change.

The fundamental cause of the world’s problems is a lack of love rather than an inherent ignorance of how to solve those problems. That’s why engaging our intellects in relation to a world in crisis is largely pointless – we face a spiritual crisis, not an intellectual one. There simply isn’t a widespread appetite to change the systems we have in place that are responsible for untold damage to the natural world and the exploitation of countless souls who are forced to live in abject poverty. Put simply, there is no shortage of clever people with solutions to our problems should we choose to tackle them, but there is a lack of spiritual maturity in our societies in general and our leaders in particular.

Our celestial teachers tell us that as a result of our intransigence, earth changes will escalate and bring an end to the thoughtless materialism that is responsible for destroying so much in the world. These changes will sweep away much of what mankind has created and cause a major reset in society that will eventually lead to a new way of living that is much more in harmony with God. Meanwhile, God is sending massive waves of positive energies to this earth that will awaken many from their spiritual slumber. It’s inevitable that this period of transition will cause worldwide suffering and destruction. However, God’s intervention will save the world from an even worse fate that would otherwise await us. We should prepare for this breaking storm by seeking a spiritual awakening in God’s divine love. This will allow us to experience inner peace and joy regardless of material circumstances. Instead of turning to God, many who are fearful of change will cling to a ship that is sinking.

As we accrue divine love in our souls, we come into greater harmony with God. We will be guided on how to solve our own and the world’s problems. Helping others who will be lost in a sea of change is of paramount importance. We will automatically shine a divine light into the world as a beacon for all those who are coming to understand the need to turn to God as the suffering in the world grows. The love we emanate from deep inside us influences others far more than anything we can say. We should seek to live in our soul consciousness and be a visible example of the love the world needs.

The truth the world needs to hear in words is simple: we should pray earnestly to God for divine love to infill our souls to ignite a new divine consciousness that will fill us with joy and bring us into harmony with God’s laws. Obeying the divine laws of creation will then allow us to live in a peaceful, loving world of abundance where our actions are in harmony with the natural world around us.

The Divine Dance.

We should always approach our relationship with God with the innocence of a child. This acknowledges that God has no hidden agenda, no ulterior motive in helping us. This attitude helps to lower the barriers that we put in place to protect ourselves from others harming us. In our prayers, opening up and expressing the underlying vulnerability we feel is precisely what’s required to bring God’s divine love into our soul, which slowly transforms us into angelic beings.

On our journey, faith takes us beyond where scientific logic can go. We shouldn’t allow the secular norms of society to cheat us of the birthright that God presents us with, which is the option to become ‘as one’ with God in divine nature. In this way, we can choose to engage with God in a divine dance that lasts for eternity.

The societies we live in are highly controlling and coercive. By contrast, the freedom that we experience in our relationship with God brings a profound joy, which comes as our soul is fed with the nectar of divine love.

Everyone can see that the old world we grew up in is crumbling away. In many ways, the foundations of our societies were built on sand. Even though escalating changes may bring temporary chaos and hardship for all of us, I, for one, am not clinging to the past. Spiritual treasures last forever, unlike our material ones. I have faith that the loving energies that God is bombarding this world with will ensure we emerge from this period of transition as transformed beings rooted in a deep spirituality that is much closer to our soul’s true desires.

Without Love, Nothing Would Matter.

If love didn’t exist, would anything matter? A complete lack of love is a state akin to spiritual death. The highest type of love is divine love, which incorporates the principle of immortality – literally endless life. We receive this great gift by praying earnestly to God for divine love to fill our soul. Divine love is experienced not just as an emotional or spiritual state – it is also a substance, a building block that eventually recreates us as a new divine soul. At that point, our soul shares a great deal in common with God’s soul, although we remain as finite beings and retain our individual identity.

Every time we think or act negatively, we suppress the light within our being and reduce our ability to give and receive love. So when we indulge in unloving thoughts and actions towards others, first and foremost, we harm ourselves. Expressing negativity makes our path back to God longer and more painful. When we feel these types of emotions, we should seek God’s protection and retreat into the sanctuary of the deepest part of our being where love exists and from where we can readily connect to God. That way, the energies we radiate will either be loving or neutral but never unloving.

This expression of the love inside us gives our lives great meaning and satisfaction, far more than habitually filling our lives with shallow distractions. We should practise stepping into God’s world of love daily so that we lead a life that we can look back on with no regrets.

Now’s The Day And Now’s The Hour.

As we develop our souls in divine love, we need to support the changes occurring at a soul level by refusing to indulge our material mind in thoughts that are contrary to the loving state we aspire to.

Since we have free will, God will not change the thoughts that we choose to have. Because our minds are strong, those thoughts can easily overpower the tender shoots of burgeoning love growing in our souls. Our thought habits, which are heavily influenced from birth by the often hostile and controlling environment around us, are our responsibility, not God’s. Since our patterns of thought become normalised, it can come as a shock to realise just how far from loving we can be at times. We may, for example, feel justified when we are intolerant of those we dislike – rather than feeling compassion for them as fallible human beings just like us.

We need to root out this harmful mental behaviour in order to support the path we’ve chosen. The battle against our mind’s ingrained habits can seem daunting. In my case, it was a long time before I properly took heed of this advice and consciously tried to curb the detrimental tendencies of my mind. I wish I had acted sooner. The words “now’s the day and now’s the hour” come to mind as I write this – a reminder to remain vigilant of our thoughts at all times until the soul finally comes into ascendancy over the mind.

In addition to divine love, we should pray for help in making wise choices in our thoughts and actions so they become compatible with our spiritual ambitions. We also need to reach out to those around us who may be unaware of divine love so that they too can find salvation from the pitfalls of a difficult human existence on earth.

The Vastness Of God.

How can we understand the vastness of God? It cannot be expressed meaningfully in words. It’s not surprising that we have to develop completely new soul perceptions before we can significantly increase our knowledge of God. These perceptions come as our core nature progresses in divine love.

Those who are content with a mere intellectual understanding of God, which of necessity can only be shallow, miss out on the most satisfying journey any of us can experience. True understanding of God comes about by becoming more like God in our basic nature. God is love, and so we must become love – specifically divine love, which is the essence of God’s own soul and incorporates divine consciousness in every drop that we receive.

Once we start receiving this love, we will begin to realise how narrow our view of reality was when it was experienced purely from our material mind’s perspective. We will see clearly that much of our life was shallow and illusory. Great courage is required to accept that the life we’ve invested in so heavily prior to this point was, in many ways, a fabrication created by a somewhat unguided, over-active and over-indulged mind. Along with any anguish we may feel at this stark realisation comes a great freedom and sense of truly knowing ourselves for the first time. Dear reader, no personal criticism is intended in this rather harsh assessment of our human nature – we are what we are, which is the result of millenia of human existence on this planet spent separated from God. What matters is the opportunity given to us to become as one with God in divine nature.

So, will we know the vastness of God through our newly acquired divine perceptions? Yes, our knowledge of God will expand exponentially as we grow in divine love. We’ll have an increasingly close personal relationship with God and receive much in the way of guidance and blessings. We’ll experience the infinite depth and breadth of God’s love. Much will be given that will never be available to those who choose the path of self-realisation rather than God-realisation. The divine journey will never end.
