My dear H___, I am Judas, your guide and protector along your way
to our Heavenly Father. I am a Celestial Spirit, born anew in God’s
Love, and ever ready and willing to fulfill the Will of our Father
in Heaven, to lend a helping hand and guidance to the sincere seekers
of Truth.
Today I have come to you in order to write another chapter on the
Spirit of God. Yesterday we have mentioned already that, besides
the spirit of life, God also emanates His creative spirit. As its
name suggests, it happened through this spirit, that God created
the universe and also us. You also know that the creation of the
universe has not ended yet, and hence God’s creative spirit
continues active as it was at the dawn of time.
In various messages to Mr. Padgett, the Celestial angels communicated
that evolution does exist in fact, but that this evolution is not
a line of development chosen at random, but that it follows a line
traced by the Father. It is a guided evolution.
God's spirit moves in its actions strictly within a frame fixed
by God, and the perfect network woven by His eternal Laws constitutes
this frame. The law, which influences in the first place the activity
of the creative spirit, is the Law of Eternal Change.
Many times the Celestial spirits, in their messages, have repeated
that man, the soul, was created in the image of God. The created
soul does not possess the Divine substance, it owns nothing of Divinity,
however, it holds a series of attributes that can be compared to
attributes of the Celestial Father, for example its natural love
may be compared to God's unconditional Love, and so its wisdom,
in fact, it also knows mercy, etc. The little men know of God, is
what is in themselves as a weak reflection of the perfect principle
in our Father in Heaven.
Man, of course, cannot create life, he only can - following natural
laws - create receptacles for God's spirit of life. He can manipulate
organisms containing life, he will even come to produce organisms,
or material formations, where the spirit of the life may enter and
develop its activity, creating this way new life, whose material
base has been created by man.
This activity is a creative work. Man is primarily a creative being,
and he also possesses a kind of spirit, which we may call man's
creative spirit. Certainly, its activity moves on other levels than
the Spirit of God, however, it does exist.
When I speak of man’s creative spirit, I am not only referring
only to buildings, cars, bridges, etc., in other words, purely material
constructions, but I refer to the world of his thoughts, ideas,
intentions, etc.
There are various quotations in the Padgett messages, indicating
an immediate effect of human thoughts and actions upon the environment
in the spirit world.
What I mean with all this is that man, in a similar way as God,
carries out a continuous process of creation and construction, certainly
at another level and mostly unconsciously. And man's attitude on
earth interferes with creation in the spirit world, in its lower
levels. Their negativity is reflected in the environment, where
they will have to live, and so does their positive attitude. This
is where the statement of "hells of man’s own creation"
refers to, this is what Swedenborg meant when he spoke of man on
earth already building his home in the spirit world. For this reason,
man will find a custom-tailored home for his soul condition. He
himself has "furnished" the home where he has to live.
This is a creative process that exceeds humanity's common awareness.
As I have told you, the Spirit of God performs a perfect work inside
the framework of God's laws. But men should be conscious that they
can interfere easily with this work, and the result of this action,
we call lack of harmony. I will give you a simple example. If we
intervene improperly in an organism, the spirit of life cannot exercise
its task thoroughly, and the consequence may be death, a premature
death, a result out of harmony.
I can read in your mind what you are thinking. You have already
grasped the idea. Man's interference goes much beyond this example.
Man's creative spirit, when it is not well guided and moves outside
the frame of God's laws - because man indulges in his free will
- can interfere with God's creative spirit in its work. Evolution
no longer follows its normal process, and the impact can be felt
at all levels. Yes, also in climatologic effects, etc. How this
works exactly, still lies outside your perceptions, but you already
have some idea of what you couldn't grasp at all in the beginning.
I previously mentioned that man's negative attitude causes vibrations
in the network of God's laws, and forcibly falls back onto man.
This is true. But it does not necessarily fall back onto this same
man and only onto him, but this attitude causes environmental alterations
at all levels, in the spiritual, psychological and material environment,
and hence it affects many more people, innocent and guilty equally.
This is unjust, certainly, but I have already told you that injustice
and justice are human creations, but that God is guided by Love,
and only by Love. It doesn't matter what man does, always there
will be a happy end for him in the long run, for him and also for
the innocent victims of his actions.
You know that soldiers frequently march in step or in cadence,
but when they arrive at a bridge, they abandon this "ceremonial"
posture, and cross the distance to the opposite bank walking normally.
The small force of a single step multiplies when many people take
the same step at the same time, and the effect can be devastating,
and the bridge may break down. The same happens with thoughts, attitudes,
intentions, with negativity and positivism in general.
Humanity as a whole is most powerful, uniting their forces for
the same purpose, but they don't take advantage of it.
No, it is not. The negativity of a group of people at some place
on earth does not necessarily cause repercussions at the same place.
This "combined" spirit of men, or rather, the resultant
of their combined forces, interferes in the natural processes of
development, increasing or diminishing intensity, speed, direction
or other markers of this process. Since the entire Earth is a cross-trigger
system, the effect may appear in another region or in different
regions. And the effect is not necessarily immediate. But leave
this like it is, you won't understand now all the implications,
but some day we can discuss them in more detail. The important thing
is that you catch the idea, that you understand and digest that
man's attitude, on the whole, has a much greater influence than
you have conceived of so far.
You once read a very illustrative article. It described, how a
small insect in the Amazon forest moves its tiny wings, causing
feeble turbulences in the air, but at the same time unchains a series
of events - all of them described in detail - leading to the
formation of a Hurricane, which in its fury destroys part of the
Florida coast. You liked this article, full of wit and truth, and
you could understand it. Please, understand also that - apart from
these material causes and effects - there are other causes and effects,
in the spiritual environment, much more powerful and of a wider
scope. You have to detach yourself from some of your "mental
materialism." I know that these statements would not find much
acceptance in the general public, but take it this way: You have
now a deeper perspicacity, a sharper perception, which the great
majority of people are lacking. You owe this insight and this perception
not to more knowledge, but to your greater soul development. They
are the products of spirituality. Take it this way, and enjoy this
advantage, although many won't understand you.
I am happy that you have received the essence of my message, and
also that part of your doubt has found some answer, at least partially.
If we are able to continue along this line, very soon a new world
will open up for your understanding.
Pray and follow my advice, and count always on
me.
Your brother,
Judas.
