| with unceasing effort, foresight, and thorough knowledge of divine law, as well as with great devotion to | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| of the latter was in conjunction with the divine female aspect. When it is said that God | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| in His image, it is meant that all divine aspects reoccur in lesser degree within these created | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| also to some extent in every being. This divine substance which God possesses to a maximum degree | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| personality becomes a flow, a principle, or a divine stream. This does not mean the annihilation of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| of making decisions. In this flowing state, the divine female aspect is prevalent. It is the state | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| the will of God and in accordance with divine law. I realize that all this is impossible | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| spirit of Jesus Christ and most of this divine substance is in Christ. Therefore, some religions refer | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| power and thus living within the perfection of divine law in a state of eternal bliss or | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| to comprehend all the more the perfection of divine law, after having gone through the valley of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| infinite beauty, and infinite possibilities which unfolded creative divine aspects for all beings. Here, the divine substance | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| creative divine aspects for all beings. Here, the divine substance of each created being was freely active | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| that it is your task to uncover this divine substance within you and to free it of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| your unity with yourself and with God. This divine substance is also referred to as a human | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| to as a human being's higher self or divine spark. It is also referred to, at times | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| it is often interpreted: it is simply the divine substance that every living creature possesses to some | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| how these foreign layers came to cover the divine substance that each being originally was. This is | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| is a great mistake to assume that this divine substance which exists in everyone is God Himself | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| and what you possess within you is of divine substance and has many of the divine attributes | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| of divine substance and has many of the divine attributes, although not to the same extent as | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| extent as the substance of God Himself. The divine spark within you is Godlike. Only this purified | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| the possibility of directing free will contrary to divine law. In choosing freely and correctly and in | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| divinity, love, wisdom, and a number of further divine attributes. It is of utmost importance for all | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| everything having once turned away from God and divine law will eventually come back. The greater the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| existence, to choose freely either to live within divine law or to act against it. At one | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| The same principle holds true to everything opposing divine law. This one spirit who succumbed first generated | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| a power running in the opposite direction to divine law, but it was still the same power | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| of the angels began. In this process, every divine aspect turned into its opposite nature: harmony turned | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| just as there are many spheres in the divine world, or so-called heaven. When the fall took | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| on the whole, one can say that every divine aspect turned more or less into its opposite | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| your individual faults, try to find the original divine aspect of them. For no fault could come | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| only a distortion of something that was once divine. You can find this divine aspect in all | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| that was once divine. You can find this divine aspect in all your faults. Then it will | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| took place for a great number of beings, divine law provided for the possibility to regain the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| as a slow process of degeneration, whereby everything divine very slowly and gradually turned into its opposite | 21 THE FALL |
| of great strength of love, the fire of divine love. This love force would turn around into | 21 THE FALL |
| attributes would enable the being to further the divine creation in a particular way through the slow | 21 THE FALL |
| more possibilities of how the infinite variety of divine attributes can change into their opposites and create | 21 THE FALL |
| also an infinite variety, just as in the divine world. These spheres of fire or of icy | 21 THE FALL |
| other varieties. Since one of the most important divine aspects is free will or freedom of choice | 21 THE FALL |
| power and to use it contrary to the divine laws. If no choice were available, there would | 21 THE FALL |
| freedom and no power. There can be no divine happiness, in fact, no divinity at all, if | 21 THE FALL |
| Here more than in anything else, maintaining the divine principle was of utmost importance, for only if | 21 THE FALL |
| and understand the dignity that lies in the divine principles, even though it means a path of | 21 THE FALL |
| for nothing can be created without the creative divine force. However, it is equally true that the | 21 THE FALL |
| and sisters back to God. Therefore, both the divine worlds and the worlds of darkness helped in | 21 THE FALL |
| is that pure spirits who remained in the divine worlds were incarnated at all times. To be | 21 THE FALL |
| benefit and remain within the framework of the divine law, an equality had to exist so that | 21 THE FALL |
| both sides. This meant fewer beings of the divine world living on earth, because their strength always | 21 THE FALL |
| spirits had enough enlightenment within themselves to spread divine truth as well as the necessary requirements to | 21 THE FALL |
| designates a special type of being in the divine world. All created beings had originally a particular | 21 THE FALL |
| world. All created beings had originally a particular divine aspect, specially developed, and the purpose of creation | 21 THE FALL |
| and in Christ, who has most of the divine substance. The perfection of all other beings is | 21 THE FALL |
| life forces you. You see, my friends, the divine laws are made in such a way that | 21 THE FALL |
| not exist, my friends. The laws of the divine world work too accurately for that. The problem | 21 THE FALL |
| brothers and sisters to come back into the divine light. Thus here on earth you can find | 22 SALVATION |
| perfectly in one way. Each being represented one divine aspect. The purpose was for each spirit to | 22 SALVATION |
| so forth. The aim was to use the divine power that we all once had to make | 22 SALVATION |
| that a number of spirits have used their divine power for this purpose, and a number of | 22 SALVATION |
| of course, I am still talking of the divine spheres. In the spheres of darkness, some time | 22 SALVATION |
| time after the fall, into contact with something divine, subdued as this manifestation may have been for | 22 SALVATION |
| was so that everything would accord with the divine laws of justice. At that time, no matter | 22 SALVATION |
| Lucifer. For, as I explained last time, every divine aspect was turned into its opposite quality. Therefore | 22 SALVATION |
| its opposite quality. Therefore, free will, which is divine, was turned into domination. And, of course, Lucifer | 22 SALVATION |
| misery. As there are many gradations in the divine spheres, so there are similar gradations in the | 22 SALVATION |
| that. He maintained that he did not recognize divine law and would use his power as he | 22 SALVATION |
| between your forces and the forces of the divine world. The chances would be evenly distributed, which | 22 SALVATION |
| would be evenly distributed, which means that the divine forces must be numerically in the minority for | 22 SALVATION |
| a war took place and even if the divine forces won and took my power away, I | 22 SALVATION |
| at all times the absolute justice of the divine laws. Therefore, Christ asked him: In what way | 22 SALVATION |
| him: In what way would you consider the divine powers to be just? And Lucifer answered: I | 22 SALVATION |
| and many good purposes are fulfilled with one divine deed. This again applies to everyone. However, simply | 22 SALVATION |
| to unite with their Creator and inhabit the divine worlds once more. Even the traps and temptations | 22 SALVATION |
| from that time on, limited. In accordance with divine law, God's spirit world now has the right | 22 SALVATION |
| world now has the right to interfere. The divine laws must be observed in exactitude, the activities | 22 SALVATION |
| often explained reason that he must always recognize divine justice, but also as a necessary means for | 22 SALVATION |
| often after some suffering and a number of divine influences -- will the attitude begin to change | 22 SALVATION |
| imperfections is, however, in constant contact with the divine world. The outer personality, with its willpower and | 22 SALVATION |
| have as a consequence eternal exclusion from the divine worlds. From this Christ has indeed saved you | 22 SALVATION |
| of many circumstances that all play into the divine laws, be given great power and it would | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| perfection of the Creation, of the perfection of divine law. And whatever happens must be for the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the long run. For this is the way divine law is made. So wherever there is sadness | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| trends which lend themselves to the deviation from divine law. Nevertheless, the entire being fell. Now, the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a lesser degree, involved in the deviation from divine law. You all know that certain animals, for | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| is the symbol for spiritual strength, spiritual truth, divine blessing, all the material you need to advance | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| selves that will fit into the scheme of divine law, that will go with the stream. They | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| same as God's substance; it is all the divine substance. It is the same substance you have | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| have in yourself. Whether you call it the divine substance, God's substance, or Christ's substance makes no | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| you if you can develop it. And this divine spark or higher self is the substance to | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| but that is something altogether different from the divine substance in you. The presence of your own | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| substance in you. The presence of your own divine substance inside you can only be unfolded by | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| -- or spirits -- use this power against divine law. Is that clear? QUESTION: Yes, but there | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| to each extreme... ANSWER: Certainly the opposite of divine law exists, but that does not mean that | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| who can then use the power according to divine law or not. I have explained very thoroughly | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| they must be free, for freedom is a divine aspect. The wrong use of the power ultimately | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| the inner forces are not used according to divine law, the soul is not free. With one | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| between you and your fellow-creatures that eliminates all divine aspects that could be spread outward from your | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| and independence. Such a person lives with the divine law that works for him or her, instead | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| remained in darkness because they are separated from divine light? ANSWER: Yes, this is so in most | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| live in a sphere of bliss, beauty, and divine harmony, but they do not have to live | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| wastes away. The same applies to all other divine aspects, not only to faith or love. So | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| few human beings indeed who are capable of divine love. Does that answer your question? QUESTIONER: Yes | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| emotions and evaluate them in the light of divine law. Acknowledge your true reactions instead of making | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |

| feelings and currents are truly in accordance with divine law. Ask God for enlightenment as to what | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| mentioned that activity and passivity are two basic divine aspects in the universe. Now you can see | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| and chained. For the more you live in divine law, the freer you must become, and the | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| you must become, and the more you break divine law, the more enslaved you must become. People | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| in what respect you have obviously deviated from divine law in your emotional currents. Sometimes, when you | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| act of killing by a soldier contrary to divine law? ANSWER: No, it is not. For as | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| battle against forces that abuse free will and divine law. If people take the power upon themselves | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| What are these lightforces? The lightforces represent every divine aspect in creation and every good quality or | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| outstanding quality that strengthens and furnishes all other divine aspects rather than weakening or excluding them. So | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| failed to take place, the lightforce and the divine power that every being has been endowed with | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| never be convinced if you have not gained divine enlightenment. Divine enlightenment is something you have to | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| convinced if you have not gained divine enlightenment. Divine enlightenment is something you have to work for | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| spiritual food is self-development. Your innermost self, your divine spark, is constantly crying out for this food | 31 SHAME |
| spiritually, to develop, and to get to know Divine Law in all its psychological aspects as they | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| ignorance of an emotional current running contrary to Divine Law. If you do know all your inner | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| are not completely purified, your love cannot be divine and perfect. Your love will be blurred to | 32 DECISION-MAKING |

| not love your greater being, which is the divine being you are, you can never truly love | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| are still battling for the attainment of this divine grace -- complete faith. Each individual has to | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| spirits who have willingly incorporated themselves in the Divine Order. Many are on their own. They are | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| of the entity to be incorporated into the Divine Order or not must be considered. This decision | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| to cultivate and obtain direct contact with the Divine World. This may not necessarily be through mediumship | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| mentioned before, for reaching for contact with the Divine World by an individual or a group. If | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| and caution cloud the expression of the innermost divine spark. Contact with other human beings can be | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| their soul, the layer that lies between the divine spark and the physical body translates the longing | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| to join together in sincere prayer asking for divine guidance, inspiration, and enlightenment. We have many good | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| another form of knocking in order to receive divine inspiration. After you have proceeded as far as | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| of purification and who honestly desire to help, divine grace will not come to you in the | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| and pride. All faults bar the way to divine grace; every effort to overcome the slightest fault | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| merely confusion, error, lack of self-knowledge, deviation from divine law: it is ignorance that creates a wilderness | 36 PRAYER |
| faults in relation to their deviation from the divine laws? Until you reach such understanding, you must | 36 PRAYER |

| Self. In the course of the Fall every divine aspect in creation has been perverted into its | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| same coexistence of truth and falsehood accompanies every divine force, aspect, or influx on this earth. One | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| on this earth. One of the most misunderstood divine currents is love. Many other things pose as | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| shall discuss how to live up to the Divine Law of accepting life's adversities without becoming pessimistic | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| you, my friends. Acceptance of life is the divine way; to accept everything life brings, both good | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| case with almost everything. It is equally against Divine Law to be pessimistic and negative. Your lower | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| and refusing life's lessons. Another distortion of a divine attribute concerns dignity. Dignity is a divine aspect | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
