THE DEIFICATION OF THE BEINGS TO CHILDREN

It has been a law from eternity that I reign over all spirits in heaven and on earth, - over all beings in the kingdom of light as in darkness: over everything that I had created from love, wisdom and the fullness of power. It is a law that all is subject to Me, and that I therefore am the Lord, Whose power is without limit, and Who also could destroy what His will had called into being. But wisdom had been as much a part of creation as love, and hence I do not arbitrarily destroy, but let all being that is subject to Me endure forever, trying nevertheless to transform it into beings who can create and fashion with Me and hence become My images, because I am filled with immeasurable love towards what I have created.

I want to Myself be active within these beings so that they would become conscious of their divinity and live in radiant bliss eternally. I am a God of love and approach all My beings in love; yet I also am aware of each one's willingness to accept My love, and My love thus acts upon the beings accordingly. Where there is love, there the being strives towards Me, but where love is lacking the being turns away from Me, and My love remains without effect, i.e. it does not exact its return.

The being is found to be in a state of love if as man it searches Me out, of its own accord, striving towards Me and hence having a yearning for its Lord and Creator from eternity.

Then My love can irradiate such being, finding it returned. Man consciously seeks an association with Me, consciously subjecting himself to Me, and therewith the transformation can commence, i.e. the education of a being similar to Me, - the deification of the "works" which had gone forth out of My hand as "works", but are to become divine children; which however can be accomplished only by man's fee will. He who grasps this mystery - the turning into Gods by the works of My power, can be counted among those on whom the transformation is already taking place, because it then is a degree of cognition possessed by man which is in turn a sign of divine power, already indwelling such person. And such cognition is magnified in proportion to the degree of transformation - the number of divine attributes he is gaining through self-change to love, since the divine is and remains love.

The blissfulness of a being - My image, consists in its being eradiated with light and power, - that it is full of wisdom and power, which it shall always use in My spirit of love, having itself become love, without which it would have remained light and powerless.

A divine being is a perfect being, not lacking in anything. Every restriction and limitation is a sign of imperfection. The beings' cognition always shall correspond to the magnification of love, because both invariably go hand in hand. Hence only that signifies spiritual ascent which has been effected by love, because the latter is also accompanied by cognition, - the knowledge taken up by man's heart and intellect.

Love-action is the ladder to the heights, and man waxes by stages if he is transforming himself to love and is therefore constantly assimilating himself to the divine primordial Being. The primordial law from eternity was that love was the power that brought everything into being, therewith making possible the act of Creation and hence being also the deifying power of the created, a process which My beings must themselves accomplish, but are also able to, since the primordial power indwells also them, as a spark, only needing kindling in order to possess the same omnipotence evinced by My primordial Being. My beings can deify themselves through love. You men shall not comprehend this saying until you have reached a stage where as result of a life of love all relationships shall manifest themselves to you like a brilliant light, even as your spirit lights up, which however only love can effect. Then you steadily approach My primordial Being. Then I am no longer your Creator, your Lord, to Whom you are subject, but am your Father Who full of love draws you, His children, to His heart, finding His will within you again, feeling unspeakable blissfulness, which also carries over to you. Then the law has fulfilled itself, which underlies the terrestrial and spiritual Creation in aggregate.
