Spiritual Forum

Throughout the spiritual circles, it’s constantly expressed that we’re God; Source; the Creator of all that is, existing in individualized human bodies.

We’re believed to be individual extensions of the greatest creative force responsible for our existence, and if everyone can get behind this idea, we can do away with religious dogma and understand that it’s impossible to anger God by “sinning” – because we have freewill and are meant to learn and grow from our experiences, however negative.

When every person can recognize that they hold the power we’ve assumed can only be held by an almighty God who’s vengeful against “sinners” in a humanistic display, we can tap into and benefit from this power and unlock an incredible spiritual perception that we’ve been taught to believe can only be attained if we get into heaven.

Heaven is here, right now. It’s all around us, and it waits to be believed in and picked back up on. The qualities of heaven wait to be expressed through us so that we can start rebuilding our utopian kingdom in peace and unity, and we have the ability to express these qualities because of our “status” as the creators of our reality.

Likewise, hell exists on this planet when we bring it into form with hate and fear. The qualities of hell include but aren’t limited to anger; hate; fear; greed; general selfishness; and jealousy. When we express those qualities, we bring the reality around us down and make ourselves and those around us feel worse.

We can express the qualities of heaven, which have been called the divine qualities, and create a much better place by anchoring a heavenly existence onto our current. Understanding that we hold the same valuable “status” as our creator who loves and supports us and would never cast us away is important to creating the heaven of our dreams right here, right now.

I’d like to reinforce the idea that we are God incarnate, as opposed to being God’s “subjects” who can be judged and condemned to a fiery inferno, by examining what’s been said about the subject by spiritual sources who have a better vantage point on it than we do.

I understand that some of you out there might not resonate with the modern channeled material of our day, but I think that a wealth of valuable channeled material has been given in the last few centuries.

Some of the material we’re going to examine dates back to almost a century ago, and you might notice that despite its age it expresses many of the concepts that are endorsed today. Such is the multidimensional nature of genuine channeled material, and the sources we’re going to hear from exist outside of our concept of time and have much to offer us.

So, is there a difference between the material world we experience and the omnipotent Source that created it? Philip Gilbert, speaking through Alice Gilbert, explains.

“In some way, all aspects of form into which creative energy is constantly converting itself are the source. We are all, in so far as we are in alignment with Him, ‘God.’ We are his personality en masse. People like you and me are very minute specks of Him, but the very advanced people are more “substantial” parts of Him and they administer the laws in a sense, though there seems to be certain automatic inevitability about the law in action.” (1)

By “very advanced people” I think Mr. Gilbert refers to the greater cosmic forces helping create and sustain our reality. Given the belief that we’re all Godsparks, the “advanced” nature of these “people” doesn’t make them any better or worthier than us. It simply means that they’re at a different stage in their growth.

Just like there are advanced higher-dimensional entities existing in realms beyond ours, beyond their realms exist even more advanced creator entities who look upon them with the same love they look upon us with. Everything is perfect creation that experiences and assists itself.

Claude Kelway-Bamber then tells us that the universe as a whole, right down to every human, is a manifestation of divine spirit.

“The whole Universe is of God; the Planets revolve from the power of God within them, touched and supported by power without. God is creative, from Him all life springs. Elemental man is a manifestation of God-power through form, which in the lower creation is manifest in a different way, though he can deteriorate to less than they.

All life as projected into human bodies is therefore a ‘bit of God,’ and we are in consequence truly His sons and by that fact immortal.” (2)

True immortality lies in our discovery that consciousness doesn’t end at death and that we’re God, creating and experiencing a distorted reality until we remember our sacred heritage and seek ourselves in greater and more expanded ways.
