In order to understand God, we must first have a brand new understanding of ourselves; we need to redefine ourselves as a soul, a spirit, and not define ourselves only by the flesh of the body. More and more we hear the call for meditation, to look within to remember we are also spiritual energy of light, a soul, and to get back in touch with God to transform the self and the world.
Over time we souls undergo changes in our personality depending on actions performed through our bodies. With wrong thoughts and actions, we continue to lose our peace, purity and power; we can even reach the stage of killing our conscience, as appears to be happening at this time.
Are we aware we need to have a spiritual parent who can correct us when we go wrong and make our personality positive and pure again? As the highest spiritual energy in the Universe, God’s role is to remind us who we are, teach right behaviour and make us beautiful again. If the Supreme Father did not exit, we would keep losing our pristine original spiritual energy, falling down further in qualities and powers. So, is it not wrong to question His presence? He is eternal and so are we and our relationship with Him. Some people feel human beings created the concept of God so they would have someone to fear and as a result would not perform any negative and wrong actions. But God is our merciful and loving parent, not someone to fear. Some people say that the creation of the world is a completely physical process and God has no role to play in it. On the other hand, others have the view that God created the world and human beings.
However, according to spiritual wisdom shared by God, these ideologies are incorrect. Godly knowledge has revealed three entities eternal in the universe—God, souls (that means you and me) and nature, and all three have never been created and will never be destroyed. Out of these three, over time, souls and nature undergo changes in their qualities from positive to negative and negative to positive. Always constant in qualities, God, our eternal Father, never changes. His occupation as a spiritual Generator is to recharge us souls when our spiritual batteries have become flat and our light dim. When we lose power, become impure and cannot see right from wrong, God transforms and purifies souls and nature.
This spiritual creation or spiritual rejuvenation makes the old world new again. By understanding deeply our true imperishable identity, this drama of eternal life and God’s unchanging presence, we are able to transform ourselves by connecting with Him instead of questioning His existence. Use this time wisely and see yourself as a soul filled with love, truth and peace and allow yourself to be transformed by this new knowledge and renewed relationship with our Godly Father.
