GOD IS NOT PRESENT IN DEAD MATTER

You should understand that I do not abide in limited, specially designed places in earthly matter, at certain places during certain times, but that I am everywhere where a heart is developing love. Only a loving heart can claim to possess Me, to be blessed by My presence. For My primary substance is love and consequently, I can only be where love is manifesting itself. A material vessel can never be the holder of My Eternal Spirit. Such an assumption can only be the product of 'spiritually blind men' who have a completely wrong conception of My Being, which fills the whole of infinity with its omnipresence and which can never be contained in a limited vessel, as men are being taught. What is mankind making out of the eternal Godhead? Such a belief demonstrates extreme spiritual poverty and how far people are kept away from truth through misinformed teachers!

How can a spirit that controls infinity make its abode within a material form, which, as the spiritually awakened person knows, contains that part of the spiritual, which is still on a very low level of development! If I visit the heart of a person I am making contact with the spiritual in its final stage of development. I fill the soul -the spiritual in man -with the power of My love, My personal emanation. And the influx of strength increases in accordance with the willingness of a person to love and thus fills the entire heart. Then I Myself am present in that person; I take possession of him as he harbors Me in all fullness.

Why should I dwell in a vessel which is still dead, which in fact is part of the spiritual opposing Me? My presence would cause any shape to melt as it is irradiated by the power of my love, and every thinking person should recognize the absurdity of such a doctrine and reject it.

However, human beings are very foolish, they do not want to, be taught but stick to what they are ordered to believe! They hold a dead object in veneration which they themselves credit with contents supposedly representing the supreme and most venerable Being! A pure human heart capable of love is the only temple wherein I Myself can make My abode and therefore, I must not be sought in particular places at certain times in a particular form, but instead everyone should prepare himself to become a suitable vessel for Me, i.e., everyone should develop love in his heart. Then I as ETERNAL LOVE shall make My abode within him.

AMEN
