Embracing Divine Love: Understanding God's Nature and Ours
Written on
Chapter 1: The Nature of God’s Love
Recently, I've been feeling an improvement in my well-being. Despite living with arthritis—a common issue for many at my age—this discomfort can be overwhelming. When it comes to easing this pain, I have three options: consider ending it all (which is a daunting prospect), ignore the discomfort (an absurdity given the reality of pain), or embrace life while seeking ways to alleviate my suffering. The third option is the key! I must strive to enhance my own existence.
At one point, I struggled with atheism, questioning how an all-loving God could allow such pain in the world. However, I've come to understand that God is not the direct creator of our universe; rather, He is the source of all that exists, with His laws governing the universe.
God is not the creator of the universe itself; the universe has existed as eternal energy. Instead, God represents the living force and the essence within this energy. He embodies the eternal energy of every conceivable universe, whether real or imagined.
Since God encompasses everything, His love is reflected in the various forms of existence. Ultimately, God can only love Himself, and in doing so, His love expands.
The pinnacle of God’s intelligence resides in humanity. While we are not divine, we possess the potential to embody goodness, improving ourselves continually. A true awareness of God involves recognizing our complete selves rather than being limited to the false ego.
This eternal energy manifests as both infinite and finite, giving rise to spiritual (PSI), psychic (mind), and physical energies. Humans have the ability to harness this eternal energy—utilizing PSI and QI to achieve positive outcomes in the physical realm.
We exist in a world governed by specific laws, and natural disasters or tragedies are not divine failures; they are a consequence of these laws. Weather patterns and animal behaviors operate without choice, while humans possess the unique ability to choose their actions, emotions, and thoughts.
Thus, it is unfair to blame God for tragedies that befall humanity. Natural laws dictate outcomes, and while God does not intervene to prevent disasters, He can inspire individuals to help those affected. The essence of God’s highest intelligence is found in our willingness to assist one another.
This highlights that the Creator of the universe is not an active creator but the immutable laws of existence that we must adhere to. These laws will assert themselves regardless of our actions. Only when God is expressed through humanity can we truly engage in creation for good, thus becoming co-creators rather than mere transgressors.
Disobedience to human law can lead to punishment, but when we stray from divine laws, we face the natural consequences of our actions. God does not judge; we are our own judges. Violation of these immutable laws results in our own demise.
Ultimately, goodness resides in humanity. Each individual possesses the potential to act righteously and to contribute positively to the world. This represents true freedom and the essence of our divine selves.
What matters most is how we express love, joy, and wisdom to others, embodying the divine love of God, who loves Himself most deeply. And in turn, we should do the same.
