16. Passions of Life

What is your passion?

In life you feel a strong emotion, a strong eagerness to perform a task or a mission. Whether that is as a desire for music, as a desire to give charity, as a desire to invent new technology, as a desire to be a good parent, to take care of your children and your family, as a strong emotion and sentiment towards another being for their welfare, or as a strong emotion towards religion, towards hidden treasures in life, they are all passions of life, but there are passions of both hate and love, and you have to distinguish. When you have a strong passion for something, reason if that is a passion for enhancing yourself, for bringing comfort and value to your life and others. If it is a passion that brings discomfort to other human beings, to other living beings, to Mother Nature, it is, of course, wrong because it does not bring any good.

Passions are part of life to fulfil yourself, to fulfil your objectives in life, to fulfil your mission in life, the mission that you have decided for yourself, that you have brought to your mind, that is to you as a bright star that you can follow in life. Many of your desires must be carefully watched so they do not become overshadowed by passions that are of the negative sort such as selfishness, vanity, greed, envy, lust and misuse of power. These passions in life are there for you to master.

A passion can be a wonderful drive in life, but you have to control the negative sort, you have to see to it that your passions in life do not bring any discomfort to others, that your passions in life give out love and a helping hand for your fellow beings. Be on the alert if your passions become a selfcentred desire, because if that emotion within yourself is uncontrollable then you are on the wrong track in life.

Remember you are an eternal being. Within yourself you have a spiritual self, a spirit that should be your master in life, not your physical body, because it is your physical body that has all the passions of the negative sort, the passions of selfishness, greed, vanity, dishonesty, passions that are there for you to conquer in life. These passions make you untruthful to your inner self, to your spiritual self, and hold you down. They will not give you the charge within yourself to climb the ladder of spirituality, to reach higher towards your inner self, towards creating the treasure, the heaven within, when you only think about yourself.
When you show selfcentredness, there should be a warning light, and you should sit back for while and reflect upon your passions in life, because there is something you have to adjust. I am not saying that you should leave a positive passion. If you enjoy playing your musical instrument and it gives pleasure to yourself and to others, then it is right for you. That is the passion that can contribute to something joyful in life, something that can fill the hearts of the people around you with joy, the fruits of your passion, and that you can be proud of. Always think about your passion in that respect.

Let your passion in life be of love for your brethren, for humanity. Let your passion contribute to harmony in your world, to peace of mind for your fellow beings. Everything in life should be of the positive kind, should be a passion where people can say to you that: “My friend, you certainly give us joy, you certainly bring joy to the world”. Then you know that your passion in life is of God, because God brings joy to the world. God is love and your passion must be of love, then you are in oneness with your Creator and your passion.

What a wonderful creation you are. What a wonderful body you have. What a wonderful human creation you are with all the diversities of challenges and possibilities of passions there are in life to fulfil your desire, your emotion, your strong will for your own mind, for your own creation in life. Let your spirit within you control your passion, because the spirit is of God, that spark within yourself that you received at birth is of God, is of love and is something you can bring out to your physical world.

Do not let passions of the negative sort hamper this spark within yourself. Do not let passions of selfishness, vanity, greed destroy. Close that room within you, that inner room of your treasure. You yourself can flourish and become a beauty in life when you control your passions, when you let this spark come forward so you can show your passion of love, the treasure that you have built up within yourself, that you have nurtured with love for your fellow beings.

All that you have given of yourself for the wellbeing of others, all you have done for humanity on your pathway, will be transparent in this treasure within yourself. Let that be your passion in life, to build this treasure of love within so your spiritual self can shine forth and be a light for others. Let your passion in life be of pure love, be one with your Father, and be of service to your world. Because when we all bring our small treasures together, treasures of love, then my friend, you will be part of the healing process that is going on in your world. Let your passion heal yourself, heal your fellow beings and heal your world.

When you search for the truth of life, then your passion becomes pure, then you are climbing the ladder of spirituality, then your passion in life gives you the direction to your higher self, to your true self, to the oneness with your Father, to his wisdom, the wisdom of life, the wisdom of love.

15. Stony Road

The wisdom of God is given to you in your daily life. It is revealed to you in so many ways, but on the material plane it is easy to forget one’s true self, it is easy to be yoked by the passions of the earth, by lust, by greed and by selfishness when you do not have the truth of life, when you do not have the wisdom within yourself, when you are not aware and do not understand the wisdom of God.

From the scriptures you have the parable of Christ about the sower that sowed on a stony road. Some fell on the wayside, some on stony ground, some among thorns and some fell in good ground. The seeds that fell on the wayside were taken and devoured by the birds, the seeds that fell on the stony ground grew, but were scorched by the sun because there was not sufficient earth for them to grow and bear fruit. Some fell among the thorns, but the thorns grew and yoked the seeds and they yielded no fruit, and the seeds that fell on good ground grew strong, multiplied and brought forth fruit in plentifold.

And what is the meaning of this parable of Christ? It is, of course, the word, as he explained the truth of life, the wisdom of God. The word that falls on the wayside is dismissed by people because they do not understand. The word that falls on the stony ground brings immediate joy, but it has no roots to keep it alive and the word withers away. The word that falls among thorns is easily taken by the lust of the material world, by greed, vanity and selfishness and lust for the money of your world these are passions that are difficult to resist and the word is easily forgotten. The word that falls on good ground is understood and bears fruit, and it becomes a beautiful creation and treasure, and it is given to you in plentifold, in hundredfold as it says in the scriptures, and it is true, but you have to understand the parable, you have to understand that people are of different spirituality to comprehend the word, the wisdom of God, in their present situation. That is why you have to be a light for them, as Christ was. He was the way, the truth and the light. And so can you be, my friend. You can show people that have not reached the understanding of the word the light, the truth and the way, because people when they become afflicted, persecuted and offended, and when the material lust conquers the truth of being, the wisdom of God, they dismiss the word.

When you climb the ladder of spirituality you will understand the parable of the sower. You will understand that when the word, the truth of life, has been given to you there is no return. Then you will master and know that the lust, greed, selfishness and vanity that you are exposed to in your world are easy to conquer because you have the wisdom, you know the truth and the word that is bearing fruit, that is given to you by God and his love.

Christ had many sayings on the earth plane. When he was an incarnate being, he had many parables for people to reflect upon, the revelations in nature, the revelations by God. And so can you, my friend. You can watch Mother Nature and find all the revelations and the truth of life within it, and the word will be given to you, the truth of life, the wisdom of God, as Christ found it, as he tried to explain it to people at that time.

The stony road is of the material world where you will stumble, where you will fall, where you will make mistakes, but you have to raise your sight towards the wisdom, towards God, and he will reveal himself to you. He wants you to lift up and turn the stones so you can find the truth of life, so you can know what you are, your true self, that you are an eternal being, that there is no death, that you are of the Almighty Spirit, of God. You are but one of his children, and he is the good parent, and he wants you to find the truth of life, the wisdom of life, to raise yourself spiritually, so you can be one in him, and in his love, so you can find the answers within yourself.

Love is the answer, and when you have filled yourself with love, then you will pour that love over your brothers and sisters on earth. Then you will see that you have a mission, as Christ tried to tell you, that you should do his works and greater works. You should heal your world. Those were the greater works that you should perform. That was the meaning of that parable, to do his works and greater works. And you can meet us on the Bridge of Love, and we can together go forward and heal your world. We will help you. We will guide you, because we are humble servants of the Almighty Father. We are messengers of God.

All the prophets from ancient times were in communion with the spirit world and achieved the teachings, the truth of life. And so can you, my friend. You can be in communion with us in the spirit world, you can be in communion with God, and there will be no communion without the blessing of your Father, because it is your Father that builds the communion. It is your Father, the Almighty Spirit, that builds the Bridge of Love. Nothing can be obtained without the blessing of our Father in heaven. God is all there is. God is the power of the universe, and God is love.

You can be the hands of God on earth. You can give charity; you can give his love to your fellow beings so they can raise themselves, so they can understand the word, so they can understand the seeds that fell on good ground that yielded fruits in hundredfold. You can be the humble servant, as you will when you heighten yourself spiritually because spirituality is the answer for finding the truth of life, for finding the wisdom of God. Materiality holds you down, because the material world is full of stones, the stones that you are given to learn the lessons of the world, the earthly life, the school of life that you are walking through in your present condition, your present life on the earth plane with your physical body.

You have the opportunity now to turn the stones, to see in Mother Nature, to discover the wisdom that is revealed to you. It is all there; it is all there for you to reflect upon, to experience, to find and search for answers in life. You will see that the stony road was there as a grace from God for you to raise yourself. It was beneficial for you to find yourself. Do not get angry and throw the stones away. No, my friend, look at them, turn them, and reflect on them and they will reveal the truth, the truth of life, the wisdom of God.

14. Divinity

The human being is of such a creation that if you did not take your own abilities and facilities for granted you would say that they were transcendental: the wonder of your intellect, of your conscious and subconscious; your eyes how to reflect the light in your eyes to create pictures; your ears how to respond to the vibration of sound; your mouth and larynx how to create words; your functionality how to move your body, your legs, your arms instantly when you give that as a thought. You see, my friend, you do not reflect upon your own human body and your own capabilities, because they have always been there. When you see a newborn, you say to yourself: “What a beautiful creation”, but do you ask yourself how this creation has come about, how the DNA, as you call the code for genetic information, and the network builds itself to such a creation you cannot perceive? It is beyond your imagination the newborn with its heart, with its lungs, with its small hands, with its small feet, with its eyes that see a new adventure in life, a newborn that is curious and wants to have contact with your eyes what a wonderful creation by God.

My friend, you are a divine being, you are part of God, with divine abilities. When you see people that have been healed by faith, you do not understand. Healing is of the truth because, as with water, you can, with your thoughts, influence and heal the water, change the crystals in the water, and so it is with your body that consists of mostly water. You can change and replace that water within yourself by the healing effect when you are connected to your Father, to the source of life, and to the love and spirit within yourself.

Christ healed many, as you know from the scriptures, and by merely touching them, he could release the energy of healing. Where there is faith everything is possible, because you have to be connected to the source of life, you have to be in communion with God for healing to work. When you see with your own eyes that human beings become well by healing, you perceive it as a miracle, but I can say this to you my friend: that there are no miracles, there is only nature’s law, and everything is governed by this law, everything from the smallest atom to the galaxies in the universe, all there is.

People are born and people die from this material plane and that is part of the evolution, as it is with the stars that are born and that are dying. God gave you birth here on earth to raise yourself spiritually on this material level, because on this level of life, you meet obstacles, you meet passions, you have to strive for your life, physically and mentally, and everything is there for you to climb the ladder of spirituality. It is part of divinity to raise yourself in spirituality. You climb the ladder of spirituality to raise yourself towards divinity, towards God, towards being a divine person in the consciousness of God, in his love. You have the spark of divinity within yourself, and if you had not, you would not be alive.

The spirit within yourself, your eternal self, is the force that keeps your body alive, and when that force, this spirit within, is separated from your physical body, then you join the world beyond, then you become a celestial being, because you leave your physical body behind, the body that turns into earth, but the spirit survives because there is no death. You have always been a spirit of God, of the Almighty Spirit, the Creator. God has given you life so you can evolve, so you can help your brothers and sisters on the earth plane, so you can understand and have the wisdom of your Father.

When you know that you are part of the Almighty Spirit, when you know that you are a spirit, then you will understand that you can be in communion with the world beyond because we are one, we are one in God, and you can create the Bridge of Love with the hands of your Father, and no communication can be achieved without the blessing of his hands.

Christ materialised as a discarnate being. He showed himself to his friends to show them that life is eternal, that every one of you will join the spirit world when you leave the material plane. Many have materialised on the earth plane, it is not a miracle, it is nature’s law. When you meet friends with faith in God, you can establish the communion between our two worlds, you can give the opportunity for discarnate beings to materialise themselves when you reach for them in love. When you are one in love, then everything is possible. Then, what you call miracles become real and true to yourself, because they are governed by nature’s law, given to you by God when you seek, because you have to seek for the treasure, you have to seek to find. You have to explore in love to find the kingdom of God within yourself, the heaven that you can build in the consciousness of God with his hands.

When you find the divine spirit within yourself, you will understand that you are part of divinity, that you are part of the Almighty Spirit. God is revealing himself to you every day in Mother Nature, and in yourself when you open up and ask for his presence and guidance. When you sit in stillness and ask for his guidance, you are sending your prayer to the power of love, and you connect yourself, and your thoughts are being listened to, and if your thoughts are of charity and you want to be a servant, want to help your brothers and sisters, your fellow beings on earth, then your prayer will be heard, and you will be guided and given the power of love within yourself, because it is when you give of yourself you receive.

Remember that you are here on earth to learn and you learn by experience, and you experience passions and struggle on the earth plane to raise yourself, and that is part of your earthly life, part of the school that you have to accomplish to find your true self.

God gave you life, this opportunity to find yourself, to raise yourself to help your brethren so you can be part of the healing work of your world. When you come to the world beyond and look back, be sure that you can say to yourself that: “I did my best, I gave of myself, I helped wherever I could, I did the service, I was a servant of the Almighty Spirit”, then, my friend, your work will be crowned and you will know that you have accomplished your mission on earth.

Realise that you are a divine being of the Almighty Spirit and that you can build up the power of love within yourself. Then nothing is impossible, everything becomes possible everything. Create the paradise within yourself when you are on earth, and you will meet the kingdom of love when you join the world beyond, the kingdom of divinity. Let the divinity of love reign in your heart, because when you have raised yourself in spirituality you will know that you are a divine human being, part of God’s divinity. Christ was divine and so can you be, my friend, when you have raised yourself in love for your Father and for your brothers and sisters on earth. Christ showed the way, he was the light of the divine. It is your turn to bring the light to your world for doing greater works; for healing your world.

13. The Way of Life

My friend, have you ever felt repentance? Have you been in conflict with your inner self? Have you felt deep sorrow for mistakes that you have done, mistakes towards other fellow beings? If you have, well then, I can tell you that you are climbing the ladder of spirituality, because then you know right from wrong. Then you know that your spiritual self does not agree and is in opposition to your physical self. Mistakes on the earth level are human. You are here on earth to find your self, find your true self, and when you feel repentance then you are in touch with your real self, with your eternal self.

From your scriptures you have the figure of Christ. Many regard him as their saviour and believe that he, by making his way to the cross, could redeem your own faults, that he could, by his sacrifice on the cross, expiate your sins, your mistakes on the earth plane towards your fellow beings. My friend, when you use your intellect, your understanding, you will know that Christ was a bright light, that he, by his teachings, showed the way, showed the truth of life that we are all of God, that we are all here on the earth plane to learn, to walk the school of life, so we can raise ourselves spiritually. Christ told the truth, and he was crucified because he was a threat to men in higher positions. He told the truth of love, and he was one with his Father, because he had climbed the ladder of spirituality to such a level where he was one with his Father, and so can you my friend, but he could not, by the cross, redeem your errors and mistakes in life.

The remission of your sins, your own mistakes, must be done by yourself. Christ could only show you the way, the way of love, the way of life. He said: “Love your enemies, love your neighbour, love your Father”, because in you love is the mightiest power there is, and love is the ultimate answer to achieving peace within yourself and peace in this world. He also told you to do his work and greater works, because he showed you that life continues, but this is not a hidden treasure, it can be yours as well, because you can, on the Bridge of Love, have communion with your loved ones, your friends on the other side of the veil, people that have passed on to the world beyond. As you have from your scriptures, many have materialised, not only Christ, because he was a normal human being that had climbed the ladder of spirituality to such a height that he was in oneness with his Father. From your scriptures you are told that Abraham and Elijah on Mount Sermon materialised themselves. So Christ was not alone in his materialisations in this world and many after him have materialised on the earth plane. My friend, you have to understand the secret of life, that this material world is there as a learning ground for you to raise yourself, to recover from your mistakes so you can find your true self, so you can climb the ladder and find the beauty, the treasure, that you have within, and find that you are part of God, that you are a wonderful creation of your Father, and that you are one of his children.

The way of life on the earth plane is to find your true self. And how do you find your true self? Christ showed you the way; he said that love is foremost in life. Make yourself unselfish, cast aside greed and vanity, and cultivate love and honesty and be truthful to yourself above all. You, my friend, can be a light as Christ was, you can show the way to others, you can show that love, forgiveness, humbleness, unselfishness, charity, are words of honour, are words that enlighten you, that brighten your pathway, that brighten your world. The way of life is to give of yourself and then, my friend, you will find peace of mind. Everything in your life is correlated, everything must be in place for you to find tranquillity, for you to find calmness, for you to find love within yourself, the love to be in oneness with your Father. You have to heighten your self. That is the way of life on the earth plane, you have to raise your self above materiality and climb spiritually so you can attain your true self where you find the beauties in life, where you find your self and the wisdom of God.

Yes, my friend, you have to attend to the earthly tasks, you have to find an education and you have to find an occupation. You have to strive and build your own comfort, but your own comfort must not be of discomfort to others. You must always look back and see how you sow your seeds, so you create a beautiful garden around yourself, so people when they look at you can see your bright light and say: “That is where I want to be, that is where the beauty in life is”. My friend, you can be the beauty that people look upon and view as a bright light of the world because we are all children of God, and God has given everyone the same opportunity to raise him or herself, to be the bright light for the world. There is no differentiation in the mind of God. He is unconditional love, as you can see from Mother Nature, as you can see from the sun it reveals itself upon all, the righteous and the nonrighteous; he does not make any differentiation between his children. God has given all to you for you to raise yourself, so you can find your self, so you can find your true self, so you can find the way of life, the way of life towards your Father, towards the oneness in love with your Father in heaven.

God is everything there is, because God is love and that is where you want to be, in that peaceful, in that wonderful kingdom of love.

Christ showed the way, he was the truth, the light and the way as you have from your scriptures, and it is true because he had raised himself to the height of his Father, towards his wisdom. He told the truth of love, and all the sayings that are not of love are not true, because you must remember that the sayings must be according to the unconditional love of your Father to be true, and he would not see any violence towards his children as a sacrifice, because that is not love. You must understand that Christ was a normal being, as you and I are, and we are all eternal beings, we are all spiritual beings, we are all of the same Almighty Spirit, we are all children of God, we are all brothers and sisters, and Christ could not sacrifice himself for remission of your sins, of your mistakes. He sacrificed himself because he could not deny himself for his Father. He could not deny the truth; he could not deny his own truthfulness. He had to tell the world the truth of life, the way of life, and that is why he was brought to the cross and that was one of the methods that they used towards criminals. They regarded him as a criminal and he was telling the truth of life. Christ was love, and people of the earth crucified love on the cross. God cried when Christ was crucified as you cry when you see violence towards human beings on the earth plane. Remind yourself that love is of God, that God is unconditional love, and he does not require any sacrifice. He wants you to find peace of mind and climb spiritually so you can see that you are all of the same Spirit, that you must share with each other, that you must love each other, that you must raise each other, so your world can be healed. So you can bring an end to war, hunger, violence and cruelty in your world. That is the ultimate wish, that is the ultimate objective of your Father to see his children raise themselves as you, as a father or mother, want to see your own children raising themselves to human beings of kindness, friendliness and love. My friend, you have the answer to the way of life that will bring you happiness and joy. Create your own way of life, but be sure that love prevails and that you become one with the wisdom of God.

12. Walk with God

When you sit in stillness, in contemplation, when you sit for meditation and close your eyes, you can imagine a White Bright Light within your inner self, because this inner light is not of this material world that you can see with your physical eyes, it is within, it is a light of love, a light of supreme peace, it is a light of kindness, of friendliness, it is a light that smiles at you with such tremendous compassion for you, with a wonderful unconditional love for you, my friend. It is the light from God, the light from your Father that you see within yourself, the light that he gave you at birth so you should know that you are an eternal being, that you are part of the Almighty Spirit, the White Bright Light, the power of love, the power of the universe.

My friend, God reveals himself in Mother Nature and in every human being when you see the source of life. He has given humankind free will, and he gave you life on earth to develop yourself in this school where you have challenges, where you meet trouble on your pathway, where love and evil is made by humankind and its free will, because you are here to evolve, you are here to see and learn right from wrong. You are here to raise yourself spiritually, you are here to help your brethren, and you are here to climb the ladder together towards spirituality, towards God and his wonderful consciousness of love.

In nature you walk with God because he reveals himself to you in every specimen: in every flower, in every tree, in every fruit that you pass by in all walks in life. But do you see him my friend? Many do not, because they have not raised themselves spiritually. They take everything for granted. They do not reflect upon why the beauty in Mother Nature can reveal itself without the hands of the Almighty Father. They do not even reflect upon themselves, their own human being, their human body, that they are a wonderful creation with eyes, ears, taste, intellect; a body that is fit for its purpose as a woman or a man. My friend, understand yourself. Seek understanding in Mother Nature. See all the revelations from God, question why, and then, my friend, something within yourself will seek and will want to explore and raise itself towards the wisdom of God, towards the Creator of all there is.

How can you walk with God? God is in everything, and it is your consciousness within you that you will enlighten when you ask for guidance. Ask God for his wisdom. He will come to you, he will send a humble servant, he will send a messenger to you from the spirit world that is one with him in love, that you can trust, and you will know by the wisdom given to you, that you can trust the words, because all that is given to you that is of love is from your Father.

Prayer is a powerful mechanism, a powerful service and you should learn to sit in stillness and ask for the wisdom of God. In prayer you send out love because when you send out love, you will receive love from your Father. Send out love to your enemies, to people that do not understand their own behaviour, forgive and be kind. Show that you are walking with God in his love, and you raise yourself above the troubles of the earth. You raise yourself above the material passions when you walk with God.

God has created all there is: the stars, your planet, the galaxies, all the beautiful creations in your world and in the worlds beyond that you cannot see with your physical eyes. There is no death my friend, and you are an eternal being, you have been given the opportunity to come to earth to attend the school of life, so you can raise yourself spiritually, so you can walk with God, walk with your Father, towards your true self, so you can become one in love when you are on the earth plane, because the treasure is within yourself and it was hidden until you yourself found and explored yourself, and the nature, all that God gave you, was a revelation of him. What a wonderful school of life, what a wonderful world, and what a wonderful blue planet you have. My friend, take care of Mother Nature, take care of every human being, every child of your Father, because you are one family, and every one of you is of the same importance, every one of you you are all children of God.

The passions of the earth, with selfishness as a major obstacle, hold you down to the material level, hold you down spiritually, keep you separate from the love of your Father. You set yourself apart, because God is unconditional love and he wants you to take part of his love, of his paradise, that you have within yourself the heaven that you create when you raise yourself spiritually. Then, my friend, you are travelling the path towards the consciousness of love.

Walk with God. That is the way to find your true self, to have peace of mind, to build the heaven within yourself, to find the treasure that cannot be destroyed by moth and rust and that you can bring along to this world beyond that is yours for eternity. God is love, and love is your pathway, so when you walk with God you walk with love in your mind. That is your secret, that is the secret of life, to find the love within yourself that you can pour over your pathway so your being, and what you leave behind, can be a light for others, a beauty that will flourish and that people can look upon and say, “Oh my, that is the pathway to follow, that is the pathway to heaven within ourselves.”

When you walk with God you do his will, and the will of God is to make your pathway perfect, to help wherever you can, to give charity, to make yourself unselfish, to create peace, to be truthful to yourself and everyone that crosses your path, because honesty and love go hand in hand when you walk with God.

When you find your true self, when you are one with your Creator, you have climbed the ladder of spirituality and you will then know that you are evolving. Then you have reached a consciousness that is beyond the material level, and when you walk with God there is only one direction and one way and that is towards your higher self, where you will find your true self, your spiritual self, your eternal self. Then you know that you are one in God. As Christ said: “My Father and I are one.” Because he did the will of his Father, the will of love. Christ raised himself to the consciousness of God and his wisdom. He was truly one with his Father and so can you be, because he walked with God, he walked with God as you can and he showed you the way. He was the light and you can be part of that light and walk with God.

Remember the White Bright Light when you sit in contemplation for meditation, the White Bright Light that is of God. Follow this White Bright Light and you are walking with God.
