Only The Soul Can Become Immortal.

Our soul is the only part of us that can become immortal. The spirit body that we take to the spirit world with us when we pass over is a covering for the soul and is subject to change over time.

Like our material mind, the mind of our spirit body becomes redundant at the point we become fully divine, which is when our immortal soul mind is fully formed. Until then, the spirit mind will continue to exist. Over time, the spirit mind will become purified but unless the soul changes from the image of God to being divine then we will never become a divine angel and can progress no further than perfecting the natural love that we were born with.

Beyond the first few planes of the celestial kingdom, showing ourselves in the likeness of our old human form is no longer considered necessary, as we will have developed other ways of perceiving the identity of others by then. Nor does the environmental background stay fixed in these higher celestial realms – it changes to reflect the emotions of the inhabitants, something we would find extremely disconcerting in our current state.

Beyond these bare details, celestial beings cannot find words that we would understand to describe the wonderful environment that they inhabit.

Human beings look for meaning in many different mindful ideas. Few realise that divine love is the mystery of all mysteries that enables the soul to experience and know divine reality, including itself, God and all of creation. Focusing on developing our souls rather than our minds is what will lead us to immortality and a blissful future beyond our time on earth.

You Are Close To The Kingdom.

There’s a curious expression that gets used several times in the Padgett Messages, namely, ‘You are close to the kingdom’. It’s not the expression itself that raised my eyebrows since it’s an obvious reference to the celestial kingdom. It’s the context that is very revealing. This phrase is used several times to reassure James Padgett that if he prays to God for divine love in the prescribed manner, then he wouldn’t be long out of the kingdom.

What’s surprising is that he was told this almost from the outset – before he would have accumulated much love in his soul as a result of his prayers. If so, then all of us are likely in the same position, which is not what I expected since, to me, progress seems very slow. Of course, James may have received a certain amount of divine love unconsciously at an earlier stage of his life, which would have helped. But it was also clear that he had been far from virtuous at times, unlike what you’d expect if his soul was being strongly influenced by divine love.

There’s two points worth making. First, from the perspective of our celestial teachers who watch countless spirits progress slowly along their chosen spiritual paths, they know from observation that those who discover divine love while on earth are likely to enter the celestial kingdom within a short time after passing over. In recent times, there’s been testimony from a number of spirits that corroborate this from their personal experience. Second, it seems that while all serious divine love practitioners will make fast progress relatively speaking, there’s an option for all of us to do so extremely fast. This is harder because it requires more dedication, whereby our whole life is devoted to the divine path. It seems it’s particularly hard to take the final steps to becoming a celestial while on earth, but we can get so close that the transformation is almost complete. The point is that God has provided the potential for an incredibly quick journey, should we choose it, so that any suffering we endure is minimised.

James was also told that he could be very close to where Jesus resides within a short time. This seems even more surprising given Jesus, like all celestials, will have been progressing at an exponential rate in the spirit world, since celestials have a far greater capacity to receive divine love than we do and so are pulling away from us. I initially dismissed this statement as an unconscious bias being introduced by James’ mind while receiving the messages. However, I don’t rule out that it could be true. I think one of the reasons that James was selected for the role that he carried out may have been because he had an unusually strong susceptibility to receiving divine love once he became convinced of its existence.

There’s also what I refer to as the Ponzi effect. As the person on earth who is most directly responsible for reintroducing divine love in modern times to the whole world, I speculate that James may forever benefit from all the good that continues over time to come from that one action. If we introduce someone to divine love, could we continue to benefit when they then introduce someone to it, and so on? This idea may not be correct. But if it is, then by performing such an epic act at such an early stage of his soul journey, James may well have earned himself a very privileged and exalted position in the celestial realms.

Getting to the celestial kingdom is not a race. But knowing it’s close at hand is reassuring and can only add to our motivation. It seems that what we choose to do or not do during the relatively short period we spend on earth can have a surprisingly large effect on our future.

Stepping Into The New Version Of You.

When I started to receive divine love in response to my prayers, I initially felt that I was the lucky possesser of this love. But I’ve ended up accepting that it’s the love that really possesses me. It has somehow become who I am now, deep down, but without me losing my sense of identity in the process.

In augmenting the reality I experience, it’s starting to diminish the strong attachment I had to my mind. I sense that in time, the mind will become a mere shadow of itself as I become more centred in soul consciousness, and I have already started to view the human body as just an appendage that I carry around. It’s entirely up to me how much I choose to live in this blossoming soul consciousness. Fortunately, I was never enamoured with who I was, especially my many limitations, so giving up my old sense of self and stepping into the divine version of me is easy, at least in principle. In practice, soul consciousness seems within reach at times and elusive at other times, depending on my spiritual condition.

It’s a lifetime’s work to live fully in one’s soul consciousness, but the rewards are great. There’s also a price we pay in terms of our heightened perceptions of all the suffering and darkness around us, much of which is hidden from normal view. Once our soul is on fire through God’s divine love then we’ll seem different to others and this will tend to polarise people for or against us. However, once the predicted great reset of humanity’s values takes place, these problems will gradually disappear as widespread acceptance of God once again becomes established around the world.

Divine Truth Is Shocking And Revolutionary.

Truth in this world is normally carefully controlled, whether by governments or anyone else in a position of power or influence. The truth is often deliberately concealed and much of what we’re fed is not true. In addition, truth is rarely found in a pure form due to mankind’s inability to discern what is true from the imaginings of our own minds. The mind has a tendency to make complex that which is simple.

I’ve written extensively elsewhere about what divine love is and how it radically changes us. As more people experience this for themselves, it will power a revolution. In truth, we’re not really awake until we receive enough of this love to understand who we are, what God is and the purpose of our existence. The answers to these questions are too profound to express in mere words or to be held as thoughts in our material mind. This is because God’s reality is divine reality – something we can’t perceive or experience in our current spiritual state. What we’re capable of understanding with our minds is superficial to the point of being somewhat banal by comparison with what exists. Only as we develop completely new divine perceptions in our soul, which gives rise to a new divine consciousness, can we finally start to perceive and live absolute truth. From the perspective of where we start and end up, this process, while beautiful, is also shocking and devastating – but in a good way. Many of our strongly held beliefs are shattered along the way, but, in practice, it’s so gradual that we don’t typically experience any real discomfort. We may, however, experience discomfort during the process of soul expiation, when painful memories from the past may rise to the surface in order to be released. If we were to experience all the changes suddenly, it would be incredibly disorientating and would seriously affect our well-being.

Humanity has got carried away with its own power, of being able to transform the world to be as we wish. Coming to the truth requires great humility and an understanding that all that is worth having is given to us freely by God. At the core of this is divine love. It’s not just a source of pleasant feelings, as might be supposed. This love gives birth to a new consciousness within us. Truly, God is love, is life. All who open themselves to receiving this love will, for all eternity, remember the day that they found it as the greatest of all blessings.

Many Will Never Choose The Divine Path.

When we choose to accept God’s gift of divine love, it’s important to recognise that the consciousness that will inform our future is not the consciousness we currently possess. Each drop of divine love changes our consciousness beyond what we can imagine until we experience it. This is why so many will find it hard to ever accept. As human beings, we cannot truly see or imagine our own soul, God or the love that God has provided for the purposes of developing us into divine angels.

On passing into the spirit world, spirits find that initially they are unchanged from what they were. There may be great surprise but there’s no great spiritual awakening. Spirits debate God’s existence just as fiercely as we do. Even in the spirit world, the great awakening that God wants us to experience comes only as divine love accumulates in our souls. A degree of faith is required since it’s impossible to prove in advance what can only be known through direct personal experience as we progress. However, no one has anything to lose by being open-minded and praying sincerely for this love to become part of their being.

Even on earth, we love to bathe in the light of the sun and none of us want to spend our time in complete darkness. In a literal sense, love is light and life itself, while darkness is akin to being dead spiritually. The highest form of love is the divine essence of God’s great soul, which God’s Comforter brings into our souls when we sincerely desire it. This love can never change into something else or leave us.  As it accumulates in us, it elevates our spiritual state – the more we have the closer to God we become.

Many spirits become engrossed learning about all that exists in God’s creation. They may acknowledge God but their focus is elsewhere. These spirits will achieve a certain level of perfection and happiness even without receiving any divine love. For those on the divine path, however, new avenues of learning open up whereby they can readily acquire knowledge through new soul perceptions rather than the laborious sequential thinking processes that we associate with our intellect.

Divine joy is beyond imagination but it’s been foretold only a minority will ever choose the divine path. It seems no one knows exactly why this should be the case. On worlds where divine love is accepted by all the inhabitants from birth as the norm, it would apparently be unthinkable for anyone to become a lost soul. On the face of it, it seems the fall of mankind many millennia ago into a state of depravity has left a legacy of sorts – a sort of spiritual blindness – that may affect some souls for all eternity. At the same time, divine angels work tirelessly to encourage all to step onto the divine path, so it seems the outcome for each individual is not preordained but depends only on our own will. May all choose wisely.

Become A Divine Subscriber.

Many of us subscribe to social media channels – to those who entertain, inspire or teach us. We often use social media as a welcome distraction from the challenges of our lives. But how many of us consider subscribing to God’s divine love, which has the potential, when taken as a daily dose, to permanently elevate us above the human condition that causes us so much suffering? In doing so, it gives us true happiness. We find ample entertainment, inspiration and learning in our own lives rather than experiencing life second hand through others online.

Few do subscribe. But many young people have been born at this critical time in the world’s history to help birth a new glorious age of peace and love. The revolution will be largely powered by this mysterious substance – literally the divine essence of God’s soul. This is freely available to all of us and is a substance that unlocks unimaginable potential within us.

Does anyone really believe we were supposed to exist in the pitiful state that passes for reality in our world? It’s only as you start to awaken that you become fully aware of just how distorted everything really is, including our own consciousness. The increased sensitivity we develop as we awaken can threaten to overwhelm us with the darkness and suffering that we will see all around us. In some ways, it’s easier to stay asleep. But the divine love we accumulate in our souls will give us the strength we need to flourish and thrive even when surrounded by the chaos of a world in transition.

Divine love is stronger than the darkness in the world. Darkness always shrinks from light. God’s will is for us to shine a divine light into whatever darkness surrounds us. If, instead, you confront darkness with physical force in an attempt to destroy it, then you become the darkness.

I pray earnestly every day for divine love to fill my soul and transform me into a being with divine consciousness. Subscribing to divinity is free and God’s channel of divine love is available 24 hours a day.

Spiritual Probation And Soul Expiation.

Our time on earth is the great period of spiritual probation, when we can use our free will fully for good or evil. When we pass over, any negative tendencies we have will be severely constrained in terms of our ability to indulge them by the environment we find ourselves in. Our places of habitation are graded and fixed according to our soul condition so that those who are of a somewhat spiritual disposition are shielded from those from lower realms who would endeavour to harm them.

Our entry to the spirit world marks the start of the great period of soul expiation, when memories of all earthly wrongdoings will at some point resurface and torment us until we remedy the underlying conditions within us that cause us to be out of harmony with God’s laws. This applies to all negative acts that were not fully resolved in terms of the spiritual compensation process while still on earth. Expiation can be achieved either by feeling deep remorse and making amends, or by receiving God’s divine love, which removes the darkness in us that is the fundamental cause of our suffering. The latter is a far faster way of making spiritual progress. Divine love is a great blessing from God that has the potential to minimise any suffering we experience and opens the door to unimaginable bliss.

However, similar to when on earth, many spirits are in love with their own minds and value their independence from God. Besides which, their place of habitation eventually progresses to what we would regard as a wonderful heaven. The promise of an even higher state of being that literally cannot be imagined and where we become ‘as one’ with God (and may appear to lose our independence) is therefore of no interest to most of these spirits. The divine angels who try to encourage them to progress further have to reduce their vibration to make themselves visible to these lower spirits. This means that they are not much different in appearance to those they minister to. Consequently, the lower spirits may just dismiss them as beings like themselves who have different views but know nothing more than they do. Such are the pitfalls of spirit life. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

It should also be recognised that no human or spirit is truly independent of God and all rely on God’s constant existence and inexorable laws for our own wellbeing. Contrary to what some may fear, doing God’s will and at the same time experiencing incredible freedom is the norm for all who choose the divine path. Divine love brings the assurance of immortality since our soul becomes transformed to be of the same substance as God’s soul. Spirits that lack this divine essence cannot be certain of existing for all eternity. What we do in our short earth lives seems to have a disproportionate effect that can determine our future for a very long time to come. May everyone choose wisely.

Wake Up And Step Off The Path.

Some speculate that the consciousness of mankind became fractured a long time ago and we then diverged down a path that most civilisations in the universe manage to avoid during their evolution. It resulted in a massive expansion of our intellects at the expense of the utter neglect of our souls. The soul was designed to be the spiritual powerhouse of our being. These two centres of consciousness were always supposed to be in balance, along with that of our spirit body.

This failure to find a balance between the different faculties  of our being – the material and spirit minds, and the soul – has directly resulted in the grotesque world that we’ve created. One in which unimaginable suffering takes place daily. A world created by God but remade in our image through misuse of our free will over millennia.

History shows that until recently, a large part of the population believed in God. Those beliefs are now widely viewed as being the result of superstition and ignorance. In fact, because people lived simple lives in the olden days, there were opportunities in quiet moments for their souls to influence their thoughts and gently remind them of the unseen spirit world that lies beyond this material existence. The soul will always try to prompt us to recognise its existence so that it can reclaim its rightful place in our lives.

Now, even the belief in God has largely gone. Our lives aren’t quiet anymore. Humanity has been successful in normalising this weird state of affairs to the point that it’s hard to imagine the world being any different from what it is. But no-one escapes the harsh realities of what we’ve created. Even the rich fill their lives with distractions to cover up the underlying pain, emptiness and sense of futility they feel.

There’s still great beauty in the world and many kind-hearted people. But the power of darkness is overshadowing everything. For far too many, reality has become a nightmare. It’s time for all of us to wake up and step off the path. Balance can be achieved by praying for God’s divine love to fill our souls. This progressively brings us greater levels of divine consciousness (Christ Consciousness). This consciousness will give us all we need to successfully redress the problems that humanity has created for itself. I’ve said elsewhere that humanity faces a spiritual crisis, not an intellectual one. We’re very clever but not very wise. The world will change as we change. The highest path is that of divine love.

Rocket Fuel For The Soul.

Recently, I made reference to the fact that throughout history, a small number of resolute individuals were able to find their way to a wonderful spiritual awakening through their single-minded quest to experience the living presence of God in their lives. There’s two very interesting observations to be made about what happened to these highly fortunate people.

First, there was no light bulb moment that sparked the search or the outcome. Their search was driven not by mere intellectual curiosity but by a primal desire to know God and thereby themselves. Second, their reward was indeed a great boon to their lives, but they didn’t suddenly become possessed of great minds or the sort of intellectual wisdom that others would admire. The true facts of the matter are much more interesting.

The great change that they experienced happened at a much deeper level than the mind. Their souls were set on fire in a way that could best be described as a pentecostal awakening similar to what the disciples of Jesus experienced following his death. The rocket fuel that fed their souls was God’s divine love given in response to their earnest supplications to know God. This love provided them with the start of a new divine consciousness that was indeed a light bulb moment, but not for the mind – rather, it affected their souls. I’ve spoken elsewhere about what these soul changes involve and how the soul eventually transcends the material mind. While our souls have the potential to change rapidly with the inflowing of this love, our material minds are the last part of us to change and capitulate to God’s will.

If you find my account somewhat disappointing then it indicates that you are on the path of natural love whereby you will eventually perfect your nature, develop your intellect extensively and become exceedingly happy in the future as an inhabitant of the highest spirit heavens.

And yet, merely becoming a perfected man or woman isn’t what God wants for us. In a way, these beings know and acknowledge God, but they don’t experience the depth and breadth of God’s love and thereby become ‘as one’ with our creator. They exemplify the saying, ‘No river can rise higher than its source’. By contrast, those who infill their souls with divine love end up as inhabitants of the celestial kingdom that lies above all other spirit realms. There’s no limit to their journey walking hand-in-hand with God.

None can understand what this means without experiencing it. And therein lies the problem. In one sense, what we don’t know and can’t envisage might as well not exist. A subset of humanity seems to be born with an inner desire to find this ‘unknowable’ state, or in some cases, this desire is triggered at a later stage. We’re told that many won’t ever seek this awakening. God respects our free will and therefore the great day will inevitably come when the predicted biblical separation of the sheep and the goats will occur. This is the second death. The opportunity for the rebirth of our souls in God’s love will pass. Those who live in the celestial kingdom will progress in God’s love for all eternity. Those who inhabit the spirit heavens will continue to enjoy considerable happiness but will realise too late the opportunity they’ve squandered.

This is a difficult message for me to deliver and I caution against any rush to judgement. I was also deeply troubled by the implications. As always, the best course is to pray for guidance and to be shown the truth. If you’ve not already done so, ask to experience divine love, after which your soul will start to inform your mind more clearly on all these issues.

The Truth Is Simple.

When we pray for the divine essence of God’s own great soul to come into our souls, we take a step closer to God in nature. This is the highest good we can bring about for ourselves and, through the divine light that we shine, all of creation.

Divine love bestows on us a purity like unto God’s own purity in quality. Never in all eternity can it be tarnished or taken away from us. As it builds in quantity inside us, it brings about a complete regeneration of our being. This leads to the greatest spiritual awakening we can ever have. The only important difference between us and the greatest spiritual beings that have ever existed is simply the quantity of this love that we possess. From this love, all else that we could ever wish for follows.

These simple spiritual truths are all we will ever need to make progress. The human mind delights in intellectualising the truth and making it more complex than it really is. Possessing some esoteric knowledge as they see it, is a way for would-be gurus, who may or may not have undergone some degree of spiritual awakening, to have power over those who feel lost and who may turn to them for help. It’s human nature to want to bask in the adulation of others. However, great spiritual beings are always extremely humble because they know the power in them is God’s power that has been given to them freely. There’s nothing we could do in our own right to warrant such a gift being given to us – it is solely the result of God’s love for us that has brought about its availability. Who has the right to boast about their spiritual power when all they did to get it in the first place was ask for it in the prescribed manner?

The availability of divine love is the true message that Jesus came to reveal to mankind. A faint thread of this astonishing truth is still contained in the bible but the Padgett Messages, written over a century ago, were given to the world to make the truth crystal clear to all who seek spiritual meaning in their lives.
