40. Egoism and Greed

When we look upon your world, we see your world in a mist of selfish desire, of selfinterest, of thoughts that are of materialistic behaviour, behaviour focused on possession and wealth, the need for acquiring material fortune in your world. People desire richness that is of the material world, and they look upon gold and diamonds as precious treasures in their lives. Diamonds are beautiful to watch, diamonds can be polished in such beautiful forms, so as to reflect the light into such beautiful colours, but my friend that should give you an expression of yourself. You can be this precious diamond, you can be this treasure, you can build this treasure within yourself, and you do not build this treasure by selfishness, by egoism, by greed, by selfinterest, by behaving in a manner where you set yourself first and forget about your brothers and sisters on the earth plane.

My friend, egoism and greed are passions of the earth, of the material plane, that you are here to understand, that you are here to master in your life in such a way that you can see that selfinterest, that selfishness, that egotistical behaviour is of no value, no real value to yourself. You can acquire and own all the wealth of your world, all the gold and diamonds of your world, but by this you cannot find your true self, your treasure in life, when you concentrate your mind on the material things in life, on the material possessions in life. They are there only to bring you harmony, comfort, a sustainable life, they are there for you to share with your fellow beings, they are there for you to gain the truth of life, to find the precious jewel within yourself. You are a spirit and this spirit is of God, and when you fill yourself with the spirit of heaven, when you fill yourself with love, with love for the children of the earth, then you will be on your pathway towards your heaven within yourself, the heaven that is not of the material kind, but of the spiritual kind.

Heaven within is the treasure of your world, it is beyond the beauty of the diamond and the shining gold, it is beyond what you can acquire of material goods on the earth plane. People of the earth must share with each other. You are all children of the Almighty Father and you are all of the same importance. You see, my friend, your Father gave you life here on earth in a physical body to help your brothers and sisters and to find the treasure within yourself, to build the heaven of love that you can foster in your material life. You see, all the passions are there for you to raise yourself, to heighten your spiritual self, and when you acquire the knowledge, the wisdom of God, material possessions will vanish for your eyes, because they have no more value than to sustain you and your family, and to bring comfort to your lives on earth.

Pride and vanity are of the negative sort. They are material passions that bring misfortune to you and to others, because they set you apart from other beings. That is selfinterest; that is egoism. Selfishness and greed cause hatred, anger and jealousy in your world, the misbehaviour of your world. God gave you the resources of your world to share with each other, to find the love that he has for you, that you are here to give to the world, so you can build heaven on earth. Selfishness is the major obstacle for your wellbeing and for all, because when you forget about yourself, when you see the needs of others and bring charity to all, you have found the wisdom of God, you have found your true self, because within yourself is where you will find the key to solve conflicts in your world, conflicts that are causing suffering and misbehaviour due to egoism and their greed.

Let these words of selfishness be replaced by love, love for all, let these words of selfishness be of negative value in your vocabulary, look at these words as misfortune, look at these words as expressions of dishonour. Leave these passions and replace them with love in your heart, the only way to find peace in your world, to find peace within yourself, to find the love that your Father gave you at birth, the love that he gives you every day when you use your hands to help your fellow beings, when you use your hands in love for your brothers and sisters on earth.

Know this, my friend: that the treasure of life is within yourself, it is the heaven that you create out of love, as your Father has created you and your world out of love. You can watch the beauties that he has revealed to you in yourself when you see your children, the beautiful and loving children that you so dearly love, the beautiful Mother Nature that gives you such wonderful creations of flowers, of colours. Look upon the sky, the blue heaven that reflects itself in the ocean, look upon the rays of the sun that reflects itself in the water on a beautiful day, the water that gives you life, that gives your blue planet its paradise. But you must know yourself, you must find the wisdom of God to see this paradise on earth, you must lift your eyes above the material things in life, and feel the oneness with your Creator, with the love that he gave to his creation.

Remember, you are of God, you are a spirit, an eternal being, and you are here to contribute with love to the creation of your Father. Egoism and greed do not contribute to a world of peace and love.

39. Peace Be With You

These beautiful words have been given to you in the scriptures where Christ materialised himself before his friends, where he as a discarnate being came to them in their gathering, showing himself in human form, as a natural human being, even though he had left his physical body, even though he was not among them anymore, and Christ said to them, “Peace be with you.” In that expression he greeted them and gave them comfort, because peace is a word of comfort. Peace in your soul is of God, is of the wisdom of the spirit.

Materialisations were not uncommon to his disciples, his friends. They knew from Mount Sermon that Moses and Elijah had materialised before them, and they knew that Christ had the power to materialise himself because they were all mediums, they were all in the position to give of themselves, to give the living force to Christ so he could employ this force to materialise. This living force is known to you as Ectoplasm, as the fluid that is part of the human body and can be exuded when there are conditions of love, of contentment, of peace among friends.

Discord in such a setting would be noncompliant, would not create the right conditions for Christ to materialise. His friends were in sorrow, they were sad due to the fact that Christ had been crucified, that men in higher positions had taken him to the cross, people that did not comply with his teachings of the truth, teachings that you cannot die, that we have God within ourselves as Christ also expressed, “I and my Father are one.” Christ knew that he was a spirit, that he was of God, and so are you my friend; you can be one with your Father when you become love yourself, as Christ became love in his earthly life. In that room darkness prevailed, lighting was low, and they were grieving the loss of a dear friend, and that gave the right conditions for materialisation.

As you have from your scriptures, Thomas, the doubter, was not in the same position as James, Peter and John who had experienced materialisation on Mount Hermon, so Christ materialised in another gathering where Thomas was present. Christ knew about his doubt, so he showed his hands and his wounds and said to him: “Feel my hands, feel the penetration of the nail, and feel the hole from the sword” and Thomas did, and there he experienced the truth of life, that we from the spirit world can materialise and form and express ourselves as we were on the earth plane. Of course, Christ did not have the wounds when he came to the spirit world, because we are human beings in perfect shape. We can form our human body with our mind, and that is the reason why Christ could show his body as it was at the moment of his passing, when the physical death occurred.

All we experience on the earth plane is in our minds, nothing is lost, everything is in our subconscious mind, and as you know from your own life, you can, when you so wish, recall your life from a long time ago in fractions, but in the world beyond your life is open to your conscious mind second for second, your mind becomes clear as the sky, as when the sun is shining upon you and reveals to you the truth of life on earth, the truth of yourself.

Peace be with you. These words of Christ gave his friends the comfort and the knowledge that he was among them, because at first they could not see him, they could only hear his voice, but then he materialised in full and showed himself.

Life continues, there is no death, and Christ is not the only human being that has materialised. As you have from your scriptures, people have materialised from ancient times, but religion prevented people from bringing the living force, for bringing materialisation, the truth of life itself, to the people of the earth. Materialisations are real and natural phenomena when love prevails, because you are building the Bridge of Love when you sit together in love and ask for the communion with your friends and your loved ones on the other side of the veil. The Bridge of Love is a blessing from your Creator. The hands of your Father in heaven build the Bridge of Love. He is the force, the power of love that creates the bridge.

Peace be with you. These words will come to you when you meet us on the Bridge of Love, because we are of the kingdom of love. We that come to you to bring the wisdom of God to your world, we are humble messengers of the Creator, of your Almighty Father. Let this expression of peace find its path towards your heart, towards the love that we have for you on the earth plane. We in the spirit world love our brothers and sisters on earth. We want you to find peace of mind, we want you to have peace in your daily life, and we can give you this peace on the Bridge of Love, we can show you that life goes on, that there is no death, that when you leave the material plane, you only leave your physical body behind, but your spirit revives. Your spirit can never die, it is of God, and it has the power of love when you have found yourself, when you have become love yourself, and we can show you the way. Christ was the truth, the life and the way, and he showed you that love is foremost, that love will bring you to heaven, that love is of God.

Become love yourself and be one with your Creator. Christ told you this fact of life, that you can be one in his consciousness of love. Let your logic, your reasoning, your intellect be your guidance because you must never let your logic, your reasoning, be set aside and let creeds and dogmas prevail. Make up your mind; let your mind reflect upon life, upon the truth of life itself. Religions are there to bring love to people, and when their creeds and dogmas are beyond your comprehension, beyond your logical sense, then there must be something wrong, because your intellect says that you must understand what you receive.

Your human being is a wonderful creation, your own body is a wonderful creation, and you have with your medical science received a lot of knowledge of yourself, but there is still a way to go, because you are a spirit and the medical profession do not yet have this knowledge, and that is the living force itself, the living force that gives the potential for spirits to come through and materialise and show you that life goes on, that the spirit world is very much with you in your daily lives, that we are as you, human beings with another vibration than the material plane, but we have our minds intact, we have our intellect, we have our feelings, and we are following our loved ones that are still on earth. We bring love to your planet, and we try to influence you to take part in the healing work in your world, so your world can find its true self, the beautiful creation that was given to you by your Father.

Peace be with you my friend, we are close by.

38. Appraise and Advance

In your daily life you reflect upon your actions, you reflect upon the day that has gone by, you reflect on the past, on your past history, because your own life has been a continuous effort to find the meaning of life, to find a better life, to find a better understanding for why things are as they are in life. And you might ask: “Why did this happen to me? Why did I meet this failure in life? Why did I meet all these problems that made such difficulties for my life?” I can assure you, my friend, that you are not alone, you are not alone in thinking as such, thinking why things are happening to you, why you have to struggle in your daily life. I will give you some of my wisdom because I have been on your planet, I have walked upon your earth, I also met the struggles of the material life, and I know now that they were of benefit to me, of benefit for all people that are walking on the earth plane. You see, my friend, that your life is a school, your earthly school of life, and you are here to learn, and the only way to find your true self, to heighten yourself, to advance, to find the truth of life, is to meet the struggles of the material plane, so you can feel the forces and the passions that are there for you to master, that are there for you to experience so they can enhance your spiritual self, so they can influence your whole being and your life on earth.

Every day spend a little time with an appraisal, going through the day, why you met such challenges, why you characterised them as struggles and problems in your life, and how you attended to them, how you can learn from them. If you do so, my friend, you will enhance yourself, you will see where you made the wrong actions, the wrong decisions, so you the next day, tomorrow, can say to yourself that: “I want to change, I want to take another path, I do not want to encounter the same problems as I did yesterday, I want to act on them differently, because I caused the failures myself, because I behaved in the wrong manner.” You see, you are the cause and create an effect that is either of the positive or negative kind. You can influence your life, day by day, you can raise yourself towards a higher understanding of yourself and of people that you are meeting every day, people of different attitudes, of different development, of different character, of different morality.

I can say this to you, my friend, that the highest, the foremost objective is to find your real self. When you do so, my friend, you will be a human being of virtue, of excellence in morality, because then you have climbed the ladder of spirituality, and you will know the wisdom of yourself and the wisdom of God.

God made the material plane for you to find virtue in life, to bring love to your brothers and sisters on the earth plane, to bring harmony and peace in your life and in others’ lives. You see, you behaviour serves as a lesson for others, you are giving your fellow beings a direction in life, they see how you behave and then they appraise, evaluate, the importance of your direction, because they see what you leave behind yourself, they see the positive effect or the negative effect that you have upon them, upon your environment, your surroundings, and when they see that you leave behind love and virtue, they see the beauty of yourself and your life, they see that that is the way to advance in life. Your objective is to enhance your character and the characters of all, men and women, boys and girls. Children that you so dearly love are all here to find the path towards love, towards higher morality, towards a good life on earth. And a good life can only be found when you raise yourself in love for your brethren, for your family on earth. Love is the vital ground, the character of virtue. Let love flourish your character in all directions, because love is paramount in character development that gives you higher understanding of your moral and ethical values in life. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The golden rule is for you to bring forward in your daily life, so you can enhance yourself, so you can find your true self. People admire human beings of high ethics, of high moral values; human beings that are truly love themselves, that want to find peaceful ways in all their endeavours. You love such people because they are something that you yourself strive to attain to in character. You yourself want to be such a person because you know that that is the only way to find peace of mind, to find the love within that you can have in life that will bring you harmony that will bring you a good life on the earth plane.

Let this word of virtue, let this word be the love that you pour over your pathway in life, because when you have this word foremost in life, you will truly find your true self. The spirit that you have within is eternal, and you are of God. Reflect on this, my friend: that you are of God, and that God created you by love. See, love is foremost in life, love will make you a beautiful pathway, and love will make you beautiful. Imagine this: that everything has been made by the power of love, because God is love, and you are made by the same force, by the same elements as the universe.

Do not let your life be difficult. Bring the fortune of God to your heart, the fortune of love, and you will express yourself towards your world in such a manner that people will look upon you and say: “What a wonderful human being, what a wonderful virtue, what a wonderful love that comes from that individual.” You can take part in advancing your world by advancing yourself. You can show the world how to raise itself towards the beauty of love; you can take part in the healing of your world. You can be the flower of a virtue that people want to have in their garden, that people want to plant everywhere on the earth plane, because it is so wonderful to watch, so wonderful to be part of, so wonderful a flower, a beauty that is of the kingdom of God, the kingdom of love. You can be that flower, you can be that beauty; you can have this heaven within yourself, the heaven of love. You can bring heaven to earth by your actions, by your behaviour in life. Appraise yourself every day and advance. Advance yourself and your world to a higher state of being, to a being of love and virtue.

What a wonderful school of life you are being part of. Be sure that you do your homework, fulfil yourself and receive the diploma when your lifetime is over on earth, a diploma for your character of virtue, character of love, character of decency, and character of charitable effort. That diploma will be your curriculum vitae when you come to this side of life, a diploma open for everyone, because there are no secrets on this side of life. Let this diploma be the wonderful human being that you attained to on the earth plane, and God will give you his blessing for your work. Let love prevail, become love yourself and be one with your Creator.

37. Lose Yourself and Gain Heaven

What a wonderful creation you are, what a wonderful creation you all are. My friend, you have the potential and the opportunity to find the love, the beauty, that you have within yourself. You are a spirit, you are an eternal being and you are of God. You came to this earth plane to attend the school of life of this material world. You are here to perfect yourself, your spiritual self, you are here to find your true self, and when you see the truth of life, when you acquire the knowledge and the wisdom of God, you are in a position to raise yourself spiritually, to find what has been prepared for you inside yourself, what was given to you at birth as a small grain for you to nourish, for you to take care of, as you do with your flowers in your world. You look after your flowers, you watch their beauties, and you take care of their mould so they have the right conditions for raising themselves towards the sunlight, towards your Father in heaven. You yourself are such a flower; you have this small seed and can become a beautiful sunflower that shines upon the earth as the sun shines upon you from heaven. You can be a light for your world, you can build the treasure within yourself out of love, the love you give to others, that you give of yourself, so you can find the truth of being, so you can find the truth of life, so you can bring heaven to your mind, to your inner self, to your spiritual self.

When you become love yourself, when you forget about yourself in service to your brothers and sisters, when you leave selfishness behind, when you raise yourself above the passions of the earth that hold you down, that keep you outside the gates that are decorated with love by your Father, the entrance to heaven, to the beauty within yourself, will open up, will always stay open when you knock with the expression of love, when you bring love to this treasure, the heaven within, when you lose yourself in love for your fellow beings.

When you have found the wisdom of life, that you are here as a child of your Father, that you are here with his hands to bring charity to your world, when you understand yourself, your mission, the purpose of life, you have found yourself and you are building the heaven within, the heaven that is there for you for eternity, for you to find peace within, for you to have peace of mind, for you to have a joyful life, for you to find true felicity on the earth plane. You can find true happiness when you lose yourself. That is, my friend, the only way to find God within you, that is to become love yourself.

God created you to bring harmony and joy to your world, to work for your brothers and sisters, to work for your family on earth, and in every occupation you can give of yourself. You can, with love in your mind, bring fortune to yourself and your fellow beings, fortune and wealth of the spirit, and you can bring wealth of the material kind that is there for you to share with your brothers and sisters, with the children of God that are on the earth plane, so you can be part of the mission to heal your world, to raise every child from poverty, to bring every child out of the suffering and despair that people of your world create every day due to lack of knowledge, lack of the wisdom of life itself.

You are a spirit. You can never die. When you have this wisdom you will acquire more knowledge of the truth in your life because then you want to know the answers to life itself, the wisdom of life. On the Bridge of Love, you can find the truth, you can have communion with departed souls from your world and they can tell you the wisdom, they can tell you the answers that you have been longing for, spirits that have become love themselves, that have truly found heaven within, the heaven and the kingdom of love that is transparent in the world beyond.

Use yourself in service, forget about your own selfish needs, because they are there hampering you on your pathway towards heaven.

Imagine yourself as a being of love – dwell on this for a while – imagine yourself as pure love, as unconditional love, as a heart full of kindness, of friendliness, of honesty, of decency, of helpfulness. When you have fulfilled yourself completely for your world, for humanity, for every individual on the earth plane, my friend, then you are one with God, then you are in his heaven of love, the heaven that you have within because there is no separateness in love. Love is the key to find the treasure of life, the treasure of the universe, the treasure of God, the heaven that you can become, the consciousness of unconditional love, the power of the universe, the power of love.

My friend, when you live on earth, you need to sustain your physical body. You have to work for your conditions on the earth plane, for a place to live, for the food on the table, for raising your family, for giving your children a happy and prosperous life, because we all want to have a comfortable and a decent life, but a life in modesty, a life in moderation, will give your soul, the spirit within, the right nutrition for building heaven within yourself, for building love within, because in modesty you share with your brothers and sisters on earth, in modesty you work unselfishly, in modesty you lose yourself so others can find your love for them.

You can have a wonderful life on the earth plane when you seek the highest within yourself, the love that you are made of that you can bring to the surface so you can show the way, be the truth yourself, the truth of your Father; the wisdom of life. You can be the light, the way and the truth. You have the power within yourself when you fulfil yourself with the power of love, the power that made the creation so beautiful, that made you such a wonderful human being, that made your earth such a beautiful blue planet. God creates beauty out of love. You can be his hands of love on the earth plane and take part in his wonderful creation, in his love for you all.

Lose yourself, let God operate within you, let God be the power that drives your spirit forward in love for your brothers and sisters and for Mother Nature, and gain heaven in your earthly life.

36. The Sun is Rising Above the Horizon

Good morning, my friend!
I am here this morning to give you the sunlight, the daylight for you to be happy within yourself, for you to bring this light towards your fellow beings: the sun of God, the light from the stars. I can see that when I come above you, I see the rays of myself shining upon the earth, I see the rays reflecting the light in the raindrops that are on top of the grass, slowly running down the blade, this beautiful green creation.

I bring to you the warmth and the light, the colours that water drops are turning into the beautiful rainbow, the rainbow on your heaven, the rainbow that you admire, that you watch in contemplation and all of a sudden think about life, about who you are, the meaning of life, and Mother Nature all the beauties you have, that you can see with your physical eyes, because I am the sun that gives you this wonderful life.

My friend, I am your friend, I am your Creator, I am your Father and Mother, your parents that bring you nutrition on the table, so you can sustain your body, so you can bring food to your family. I am bringing nutrition to the animals, to nature, bringing water from the ocean to the sky with the clouds that are sailing by, that fill themselves with hope and love for the children, the animals and the nature, for all there is that needs the source of life to refresh itself, to clean itself, and to clean Mother Nature.

When you wake up in the morning and look out of the window, I am there when the sky is blue, when the clouds are dissolved for you to find the light from heaven, for you to watch Mother Nature in all its beauties, and when you walk into this beautiful garden and take off your shoes, you can feel the grass under your feet, you can feel its softness, you can feel its colour of green that gives you peace of mind, and that colour is given to you by the Sun.

You look at me, but I am too strong a light for your physical eyes, for you to watch me. I am God. I am the Creator of all there is. I created heaven on earth for you to find peace within. I created you so you could find your true self, so you could raise yourself and build the treasure of love within, the treasure that will not rust to mould, the treasure that will be everlasting, the treasure that you can bring to the world beyond when you have accomplished the school of life on earth.

I am God that dwells within you when you have love in your heart. You are a spirit, you are of me, of the sun, of all there is, because I am the creation, I am your God, I am everyone’s God, I am the Creator of the universe, and I am the love that you can fill yourself with and stretch your hands towards for my presence in your life. When you go out there in your life and meet people, then you become part of me when you show kindness, when you show friendliness, when you give love to your brothers and sisters on earth. Then you become one with me in love, in love for all, for the creation, for every child on your planet. You, my friend, in turn can bring heaven on earth, by your behaviour, by your attitudes in life, by the knowledge that I give you now, that you are part of the creation, that you are my hands of love on this earth plane, on your beautiful blue planet that I created for you to find the beauties of life, so you could heighten yourself towards the love that I have for you and for the Planet Earth, for all the children, for the animals and nature itself.

You are creating your own world inside as I have created your world. I brought love to my creation, I built my creation by love, and so can you, my friend, you can build yourself by love, by giving love of yourself to your fellow beings and to Mother Nature, and when you have become love yourself then we are one, we are one and of love. That is the most beautiful place that you can ever find, that is where you will find peace and tranquillity and the kingdom of love, the heaven within yourself.

Heaven on earth is a reality, heaven on earth can be your reality when you find the wisdom that I have given to you and that you find within yourself when you see beyond the material aspect of living, when you find your spiritual self.

You came to this world, and I gave you the sun and the daylight for you to work with yourself, so you could bring the love that you received at birth, that you had in your mind when you came from the world beyond. You saw heaven yourself before you came to earth, heaven with all its love, with all its beauties, the children of heaven, how they behave towards each other, the love that they have for each other, the devotion that man and woman have for each other, that spirits have for each other when they have found the love within themselves. And so can you, my friend, on the earth plane, you can bring heaven, the thought and the love from the world beyond. You can bring this love to your world. You can be my hands on this earth plane, so you can create heaven on earth as it was prepared for you.

Remind yourself, when you see the sun rising above the horizon, that I am, that you are, a spirit, that I am here for you, that I want to help you, that I want you to be my hands of love that give warmth, nutrition and the beauties of life to all people and Mother Nature.

I am God, I am your Father and Mother, and I am your Creator.
