able to solve your problems with God, in God. 17. THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW Greetings in 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER
Very few people indeed have no belief in God at all. Almost everyone has at least a 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
continue on logically from this premise. They limit God all the time. There are many of you 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
time. There are many of you who admit God exists. God or this Higher Intelligence -- or 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
are many of you who admit God exists. God or this Higher Intelligence -- or whatever you 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
then, when communication with the spirit world of God is manifested to you, do you still think 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
why should it not be equally possible that God sends you His emissaries of truth for your 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
illogical to believe that it is impossible. If God has created any possibility of communication with people 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
further you spiritually and bring you nearer to God. So, my friends, communication with divine spheres is 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
impossible. There are many people who are called. God is calling them. Whether this call will come 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
strength and development necessary to follow it; therefore God waits until they have reached sufficient maturity in 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
you must become with your life. The more God can expect from you because of your basic 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
would not fight against it. Now what does God want from you when He calls you? He 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
solitude with no one knowing about it. What God wants from each and every one of you 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
about yourself and your inner or outer motives. God expects this from you. Whoever is not quite 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
must decide for it clearly and unconditionally, then God will guide you wherever you need to go 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
a sacrifice -- and this, too, is what God wants from you. There is a reason why 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
have completely decided to do the will of God, whatever this may mean, and until you have 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
cross the first threshold on the path to God. But this fight cannot be won in one 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
were before you entered this battle. And then God will help you further along to take the 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
next step. This you may safely believe. Ask God for the strength to win the battle. All 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
have to do is to think of asking God for His help. Many people say wonderful prayers 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
have mentioned. You are expected to turn to God with your difficulties. If you really want this 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
this help with all your heart and ask God for it, He will answer you. I can 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
cured. You cannot effect this cure alone, but God will help you. If all your inner currents 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
and serious endeavors. This is the path to God. This is what it means to follow the 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
do it, once you have decided to ask God for His help. All of a sudden, if 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
that the few privileged people who have found God in their souls to some extent devote more 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
all the conditions that you need to find God, while by not following the divine laws you 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
it and receive it and use it for God. Be in peace! 18. FREE WILL Greetings in 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW
free will is of course a gross error. God has created the Universe, which is governed by 18 FREE WILL
happiness, love, harmony, light, and supreme wisdom, because God, who is perfect, cannot create anything but perfection 18 FREE WILL
they be in accordance with the nature of God. There would be a discrepancy between the basic 18 FREE WILL
the wisdom and perfection of the laws. Then God would not be a god of freedom, but 18 FREE WILL
the laws. Then God would not be a god of freedom, but a god of slavery, even 18 FREE WILL
not be a god of freedom, but a god of slavery, even if His creatures could be 18 FREE WILL
the angels. So many people wonder how a god of love could have created evil. But God 18 FREE WILL
god of love could have created evil. But God did not create evil. As you may understand 18 FREE WILL
so many of you revolt. There is no god who dishes out arbitrary punishment. God has created 18 FREE WILL
is no god who dishes out arbitrary punishment. God has created perfect laws and perfect conditions for 18 FREE WILL
sight that the further you move away from God and His laws of perfection, the more difficult 18 FREE WILL
possessed. Yet the further away you are from God the unhappier you are, therefore the more assuredly 18 FREE WILL
more assuredly must you ultimately come back to God through this very state of unhappiness. In breaking 18 FREE WILL
unless unpleasant events occur in your life. Now God is not sending you these unpleasant occurrences willfully 18 FREE WILL
wish above all to fulfill the will of God. I have already discussed at length how to 18 FREE WILL
go about finding out what the will of God may be in any given circumstance. Apart from 18 FREE WILL
wish is in accordance with the will of God, first go about finding it out in the 18 FREE WILL
has done this. People who do not put God above all else may accomplish things that do 18 FREE WILL
meaning of mysticism is to reach and experience God to the extent possible for an incarnated being 18 FREE WILL
purification, and the goal remains utterly and solely God, fulfilling His will, and experiencing Him. But the 18 FREE WILL
help. Thus the goal of the mystic is God, not because the union with God means inexpressible 18 FREE WILL
mystic is God, not because the union with God means inexpressible happiness and unimaginable bliss -- though 18 FREE WILL
byproduct, so to speak -- but service to God through service to one's fellow-creatures through the utter 18 FREE WILL
person experiences divine forces, divine beings, or even God. That cannot happen very easily. But when people 18 FREE WILL
and tremendous difference between the ecstasy of experiencing God and anything else on earth or in heaven 18 FREE WILL
fate in the beyond. If his love for God is stronger than all else, he may through 18 FREE WILL
experiences. Be blessed, my dear ones, be in God. 19. JESUS CHRIST Greetings in the name of 18 FREE WILL
19. JESUS CHRIST Greetings in the name of God and Jesus Christ. Blessed are you, my friends 19 JESUS CHRIST
is Christ? Some Christian religions claim he is God. This is not so, for he himself has 19 JESUS CHRIST
in the Holy Scriptures, that he is not God. He is not the Father, or the Creator 19 JESUS CHRIST
is the first direct and inborn creation of God. His substance is the same as the substance 19 JESUS CHRIST
substance is the same as the substance of God. All of you possess some of this substance 19 JESUS CHRIST
he chosen? If he is the son of God, so are we all children of God. Why 19 JESUS CHRIST
of God, so are we all children of God. Why should he be better, more exalted, or 19 JESUS CHRIST
this jealousy lies a lack of faith in God and in His capacity to love. For even 19 JESUS CHRIST
in His capacity to love. For even though God created His first son as the highest of 19 JESUS CHRIST
of heaven. Periods of testing, trials, faith in God in times of adversity, crucifixion of the personal 19 JESUS CHRIST
of evil could find the way back to God. God is the power, and with His power 19 JESUS CHRIST
evil could find the way back to God. God is the power, and with His power he 19 JESUS CHRIST
way back would have been permanently separated from God and from an eternal life of bliss. That 19 JESUS CHRIST
at one time find the way back to God. This is difficult to understand now, but in 19 JESUS CHRIST
this will keep people from ever saying that God is unjust or that God has used His 19 JESUS CHRIST
ever saying that God is unjust or that God has used His own power to break His 19 JESUS CHRIST
No one will be able to say that God has used this power to violate His gift 19 JESUS CHRIST
may come up, Can we find and reach God, and can we attain perfection only through Jesus 19 JESUS CHRIST
absolute truth. No spirit of the world of God will ever tell you to leave your church 19 JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ right now that one can reach God. The perception of absolute truth in any respect 19 JESUS CHRIST
that you should pray to Jesus Christ. Only God the Creator should receive our prayers. What God 19 JESUS CHRIST
God the Creator should receive our prayers. What God expects from you and what is part of 19 JESUS CHRIST
light, without whose deed the stream back to God would have been broken. Now some of you 19 JESUS CHRIST
person to whom you owe most next to God. Do not disregard Christ so easily. I hope 19 JESUS CHRIST
Christianity. This was never meant to happen by God or by the spirit world. And that it 19 JESUS CHRIST
its miseries and hatreds. Splitting is separation from God, and this initial tragedy, which took place long 19 JESUS CHRIST
the disease will be cured forever. Union with God, which is the goal, is the opposite of 19 JESUS CHRIST
same bad root of the initial splitting from God. There should have been oneness between Judaism and 19 JESUS CHRIST
such an important part of your returning to God, he deserves your personal gratefulness and some contact 19 JESUS CHRIST
you: you will not be able to reach God without him in the very last analysis. He 19 JESUS CHRIST
answer to the question whether you can reach God only through him is Yes. For the constant 19 JESUS CHRIST
is alive within you, you cannot unite with God. And now, my friends, I want to say 19 JESUS CHRIST
question here remains as always, What is true? God is truth, as well as wisdom and love 19 JESUS CHRIST
stubborn, and childish notion, you are thus denying God, at least in one aspect of your personality 19 JESUS CHRIST
clothed with apparently high-sounding motives. Be blessed. 20. GOD: THE CREATION Greetings in the Name of the 20 GOD: THE CREATION
for them and also for the world of God. If they reject it, their rejection serves the 20 GOD: THE CREATION
law, as well as with great devotion to God and His great Plan of Salvation. The proper 20 GOD: THE CREATION
I have to discuss it in this order: God, the Creation, the fall of the angels, and 20 GOD: THE CREATION
with, what can I possibly tell you about God, my friends? He is so great that His 20 GOD: THE CREATION
sense, to perceive, let alone to know what God is. I want only to say this much 20 GOD: THE CREATION
only to say this much about the Creator: God is person as well as principle. Human religions 20 GOD: THE CREATION
always debated this question. One opinion holds that God is person: the other holds that God is 20 GOD: THE CREATION
that God is person: the other holds that God is not of substance, being solely principle and 20 GOD: THE CREATION
I have already said, both views are true. God in His male aspect is Creator and, as 20 GOD: THE CREATION
aspect is the creative one, not only with God, but, originating from Him, it is the creative 20 GOD: THE CREATION
the universe with all beings. In this capacity, God makes decisions, dispositions, and determinations. In this capacity 20 GOD: THE CREATION
makes decisions, dispositions, and determinations. In this capacity, God as Creator and person created the universe with 20 GOD: THE CREATION
divine female aspect. When it is said that God created His children in His image, it is 20 GOD: THE CREATION
extent in every being. This divine substance which God possesses to a maximum degree, and which Christ 20 GOD: THE CREATION
most radiant matter. It is the life force. God, as well as all creatures in their highest 20 GOD: THE CREATION
state of slow growth and organic building. Whenever God wills it so, the fluids may be retracted 20 GOD: THE CREATION
their female aspect is prevalent, they merge with God in a state of being. With their male 20 GOD: THE CREATION
in the Creation according to the will of God and in accordance with divine law. I realize 20 GOD: THE CREATION
fully grasp the love, wisdom, and perfection of God and the infinite variety of His creation. We 20 GOD: THE CREATION
Him! As I said in my last lecture, God put forth as His first creation the spirit 20 GOD: THE CREATION
is in Christ. Therefore, some religions refer to God the Father and God the Son. You can 20 GOD: THE CREATION
some religions refer to God the Father and God the Son. You can see that there is 20 GOD: THE CREATION
your world. Once I was asked, Why did God create these beings? Being all-knowing, He must have 20 GOD: THE CREATION
I would now like to touch on briefly. God is love and love must share: this is 20 GOD: THE CREATION
this is the nature of love. Of course God realized that because He created beings with free 20 GOD: THE CREATION
temporarily. Nevertheless, as an indication of His greatness, God created beings who could choose freely with the 20 GOD: THE CREATION
high in development to recognize this fact. Thus, God created many beings and many worlds, long before 20 GOD: THE CREATION
you of your unity with yourself and with God. This divine substance is also referred to as 20 GOD: THE CREATION
being, nor is it part of a threefold God in the sense it is often interpreted: it 20 GOD: THE CREATION
this divine substance which exists in everyone is God Himself, or identical with God the Creator. God 20 GOD: THE CREATION
in everyone is God Himself, or identical with God the Creator. God is a being and what 20 GOD: THE CREATION
God Himself, or identical with God the Creator. God is a being and what you possess within 20 GOD: THE CREATION
to the same extent as the substance of God Himself. The divine spark within you is Godlike 20 GOD: THE CREATION
substance within you is capable of uniting with God and therefore of being one with God. No 20 GOD: THE CREATION
with God and therefore of being one with God. No substance that is unlike God can unite 20 GOD: THE CREATION
one with God. No substance that is unlike God can unite with Him. It is erroneous to 20 GOD: THE CREATION
Creator Himself. People often advance the idea that God should not have endowed His creatures with free 20 GOD: THE CREATION
fall could never have happened; or, they claim, God at least should have interfered when the fall 20 GOD: THE CREATION
exist for any created being through union with God. And to be in union with God, you 20 GOD: THE CREATION
with God. And to be in union with God, you must be of the same substance and 20 GOD: THE CREATION
aspects and qualities; otherwise, you would be unlike God and thus incapable of being in union with 20 GOD: THE CREATION
that so far you may not have understood. God has also put into Creation an infinite number 20 GOD: THE CREATION
beforehand for the possibility of a return to God if and when any of the created beings 20 GOD: THE CREATION
their power and freedom given to them by God. These laws work in cycles which have to 20 GOD: THE CREATION
that ultimately everything having once turned away from God and divine law will eventually come back. The 20 GOD: THE CREATION
eventually come back. The greater the distance from God, the more the misery, for only in God 20 GOD: THE CREATION
God, the more the misery, for only in God and with God lies happiness. But through this 20 GOD: THE CREATION
the misery, for only in God and with God lies happiness. But through this misery arises a 20 GOD: THE CREATION
misery arises a stronger incentive to return to God. This thought also lends itself very well to 20 GOD: THE CREATION
give love, you come a step nearer to God, to your fulfillment, and to your liberation -- 20 GOD: THE CREATION
which came into existence through the division from God and through the so-called fall of the angels 20 GOD: THE CREATION
gradually came into existence and the separation from God took place for a great number of beings 20 GOD: THE CREATION
as a group. This was also foreseen by God and provided for, with the timing left for 20 GOD: THE CREATION
part of the Plan of Salvation for which God enlisted the help of all spirits who remained 20 GOD: THE CREATION
to think deeply, to meditate, and to ask God to help you to understand. When you have 20 GOD: THE CREATION
and lack of peace of mind, then ask God to help you find your task, to be 20 GOD: THE CREATION
