Manifesting Yourself in Yourself as Your Total Wisdom and Your Almightiness. enlighten our minds to understand You as the Truth. Clean our hearts to reflect Your Love towards You and towards all other human beings.
Amen Clearly, no one using words can adequately describe the full nature of Divine Love. What can be spoken of is something about the characteristics of Divine Love and the various colored reflections of human love. Divine LoveDivine Love, is pure, perfect and self-sufficient. Divine Love is non-dual. It is without the polarity of subject and object distinctions. In the Worlds of Existence when we say we love, there are three separate aspects. One is the subject (the one who is loving), the second is the object of our love and the third is the quality of the love being expressed by the subject to the object. Divine Love is not like that. Divine Love simply IS. It does not come or go. It does not decrease or increase. It has no season. Divine Love is unconditional and everlasting. Beyond the oscillations of human love found in the three Worlds of Existence (physical, psychical and noetical), we will find in Beingness, in the center of our Beingness, this unwavering Divine Love. Yet all these Worlds of Existence are suspended within Divine Love. They are a creation of Divine Love. And they are infused with Divine Love. We, and the inhabitants of these Worlds of Existence are embodiments of Divine Love obscured to a lesser or greater degree by self-created veils or shells. It is the quality our own emotional/thought forms (the elementals), which determine the degree of transparency of our shell. Thus it is the composition of this shell (our emotions, desires and ways of thinking and behaving) that we must cleanse and make translucent to allow the radiance of this Love to shine forth and light our way. Divine Love is the eternal nature of God and as a Spirit-Soul; it is also our nature. Divine Total Love is also the nature and a prime expression of the Logos. Ultimately, Divine Love is the irresistible force that all will surrender to. And when that occurs we become free of all veils, all separation and entering into our Spirit-Soul nature, we will find this Divine Love emanating brightly. Human LoveIn the Worlds of Existence we have the spectrum of human love with its vast range of expressions in varying degrees of purity. The quality of these expressions extends from clear luminous selfless love to darkly colored selfish love. Selfless love heals and brings great peace with it. While, self-centered love inevitably harms the giver and receiver bringing suffering in its wake. Love is often identified as an emotion. Real love is not an emotion, but an emotion can carry love, just as noble thoughts and acts of kindness can. Love’s unifying force is found throughout the three Worlds of Existence (physical, psychical, and noetical). We can even find it at work in the laws of physics in the material universe. As Daskalos often noted, “The [scientific] law of cohesion and attraction is Love on the material plane.”Reflected Love“Clean our hearts to reflect Your Love towards You, and all other human beings,” is our opening prayer to Absolute Beingness - God. As a personality we love by reflection, but as a Spirit-Soul we emanate Divine Love directly. Divine Love is whole and everlasting. It never changes; it is uncontaminated and without degrees of purity. With human reflected love however, we find a wide range of purity, which fluctuates over the course of time. At one end of the human love spectrum there is what is known as “selfish love”, which is not really love at all. When human love between two people becomes contaminated with selfishness, then manipulation and domination over the so-called “loved one” can enter and damage or destroy the relationship. At the other end of the human love spectrum is the luminous selfless love, which brings freedom and joy to both the giver and receiver. When we love selflessly we are reflecting God’s love brightly and clearly. And learning to love selflessly is a required course in the school of life. When two people experience a deep love for each other, it is often referred to as “Falling in Love”. But when that love is true and selfless their actual experience is more like “Rising in Love”. Selfless love lifts them on its expanding spiral currents, transcending the prison of self-centeredness. It gives the lover and the beloved a glimpse of the Divinity within them both. Loving Your EnemiesLove does not fight evil or attack others, even when they are behaving like an enemy. Christ’s, persuasion was to: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”[i] This is not only good spiritual advice, but it is also wise practical advice. For it is the Truth that sets us free, but it is the Love that protects us. Joshua also taught that:
Emissaries of LoveSo how can we learn about the nature of this Divine Love? Who can express such a perfect love? Who is capable of teaching us what it means to really love? Our brother guide, our own Guardian Angel is ready, willing, and able to teach about this miracle of Divine Love. As we come into contact with our Guardian Angel we will learn so much about real love. We will learn about the nature of Divine Love by observing how our Guardian loves and cares for us. For our Guardian Angel has been emanating his[ii] perfect love for us uninterrupted from the moment of our humanization. His full unification with us allows him to unerringly know all our intentions, motivations, thoughts, feelings, desires and actions. His charge is to guard and guide our developing personality. And take note of how he carries out this duty of love:
His love for us is perfect and uncontaminated. A Guardian Angel is so closely attuned to a human being that he has sometimes been mistakenly identified as our “Twin Soul” or our “Inner Self” – but he is not our twin soul and he is not our so-called Inner Self (our Permanent Personality). Guardian Angels are from the Archangelic order called Metathronious (Metathronious means near the Thrones). From the eternal moment that God said: “Let us create man in our likeness and image”[iii] an Archangel from the Metathrones, in perfect love, “egofied” with the humanized ray of our Spirit Ego-Being. To give meaning to the condition of being “egofied” with a Guarding Angel, Daskalos often gave the example of two candle flames being united. When the flames are together they appear as one flame and no one can distinguish that there are two. Pull the candles apart and then all can see that there are two individual flames. This limited example is analogous to our Guardian Angel’s egofication with us. Now, imagine this perfect Eternal Being who is so complete in its immaculate Love, Wisdom and Power watching over even your most subtle thoughts, feelings and actions each day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, throughout your whole life, on earth, and in the worlds beyond, lifetime after lifetime. Can you imagine this kind of love? Can you conceive of a love that is capable of witnessing all of our mistakes, all of our crimes of spirit and all of our violations of Divine Law that we have committed in all our lifetimes without a single complaint or condemnation? Can you feel his Divine Love for you? Of course, our life on earth is so attuned to the activity of the material world around us that we remain unaware of his presence and his communiqués, which arise from within. Yet this wise and loving dialogue between our Guardian and our personality is going on all the time but we fail to realize it. This kind of communication can occur during our meditations, when we shower, when we are driving our car, as we are falling asleep, or waking up - almost anytime. When we do notice this exchange, we think we are having a dialogue with our self. We can, however, train ourselves to consciously attune to him and learn to recognize his voice. But what language does he speak? English? Greek? Ancient Aramaic? Our Guardian does not use the limited words of any earthly language. The Archangels have their own language, which is quite literally a language of Divine Love. Contemplate this. These Divine ambassadors express themselves in a range of vibrations. Their vibrations emit sound and color according to the specific frequencies of that Archangelic order. When we learn to attune to them, their messages resonate within us, and their profound wisdom and love dawns within our personality. As the Guardian Angel cares for our personality, the Archangels of the Elements (the Michaels, the Rafaels, the Gabriels, the Uriels and others) care for our bodies. With great love and care, they are working unceasingly to keep our bodies in good health (Karma permitting). Our Guardian Angel and other Archangels, real brothers of Spirit, gladly anticipate the day when we will make self-conscious contact with them. They want this contact with us. They anticipate it. The EchoBut be warned, there is another voice that arises within us. It is the voice of our own egoism – the echo. The voice of egoism can and does cleverly mimic our Guardian Angel. When it does, it seeks to deceive us, tempt us and ultimately lead us astray with its imitation of love, its imitation of truth, its imitation of Life. It can be very, very sly but its imitations lack the power, insightfulness and unmistakable love of our brother the Guardian Angel. When we find ourselves suffering, feeling that we are under the clouds of illusions seeded by egoism, it does not mean the radiant sun of Love emanating from our Guardian has gone away. It just means that to our personality, the clouds of ignorance have eclipsed the Guardian’s light. When this happens, and it will… try not to identify so much with the illusion and darkness and shift your focus, attune to your brother guide, and call on him. Ask for his help and fully expect to receive it at a time that is well chosen by him. The Gift & the GiverNow, who saw to it that such a great gift as a Guardian of Divine Love would accompany each and every human being in all their incarnations on Earth and in the Worlds Beyond? What love is so caring that it provides each of us with this Super-Conscious Guardian? It is the love of God. Of course it is also the Guardian Angel’s own love that joins his Spirit ray with our Spirit Ray at the point of our humanization. But the Guardians are Archangels, Divine emissaries, and their will is the same as God’s will. God’s will automatically arises within all the Archangels as their own will. And they express God’s will according to the classification of their particular Archangelic order. They are so near and dear to the Absolute that we could metaphorically consider them as the very breath of God. When we speak about the Divine Love and the work of the Guardian Angels, we are not offering you a dusty old theory, mechanically repeated century after century by those without direct experience. We are not presenting some unsubstantiated new-age notion for you to blindly believe. We are revealing our own first hand experiences and that of many, many other researchers of truth – past and present. And if you are sincere with your approach to the Guardian Angel, it will be your own experience too. For those who are interested and make the effort to learn how to come into contact with their Divine Guardian of Love, this reality will be self-evident and personally verifiable. I wish you all an ever-deepening engagement with Divine Love.
Daniel
Now, we'll make an exercise. Relax completely.
Love is the divine
flame uniting all souls. Why not and all personalities? You are already
united as a Spirit-Soul Ego in what I call Christhood. Why not unite
ourselves, our personalities also, in that divine Love of the Logos? This
Love nourishes all of our bodies (our psychical and our noetical body, and
the etheric doubles) purifying them and uniting us with the Logos, who is
everywhere and in us.
[ii] Our Guardian Angel is neither male nor female, but for convenience the terms, “his” and “he” are used in this writing. [iii] NIV GE 1:26
