What follows is an
outline of the materials all Essenes are expected to understand. You'll
find more information about these issues on the
Universal Gnostic Fellowship
website. But if you have any questions, please ask us by contacting
our
offices.
1. The Divine is Everything
The Divine is everything. There is no thought, no thought form, no
holographic projection, no illusion that is not a part of the Divine. We
are a part of the Divine. We exist in the Divine Mind just as everything
in existence does. There is nothing that is not a part of the Divine,
contained within the Divine Mind.
The Divine is all matter and all forms created from matter. The Divine
is all energy and all expressions of force created by matter and energy.
The Divine is Light and this light is a symbol of knowledge. The Divine is
Sound, Vibration, Light, Energy and Matter because all these things are mind
stuff. The Divine is Love because love is a decision and the Divine
chooses to love just as the Divine chooses to create. The creation itself
is an expression of love.
The problem is that to choose to love means there is something opposite to
love that can also be chosen. The Divine created love just as it created
to opposite to love. The Divine created all emotions and the opposite to
each and every one. It is because of this duality the Divine has the
ability to choose. It is because of this duality that everything in the
creation has the ability to choose.
2. The Divine Created All That Exists
The Divine conceived everything that is. There is nothing that is
not conceived by the Divine. That means everything is created by the
Divine. Love and hatred, abundance and poverty, health and illness,
light and darkness, knowledge and ignorance, freedom and bondage are all part of
the creation. So are you and I.
We were created by the Divine and we were empowered by the Divine
to choose how we would live our own lives. This freedom of choice is the
same freedom expressed by the Divine. This right to choose is a part of
the creation because the Divine thought the creation into existence in this way.
It could have been different, but it is exactly as the Divine created it to be.
3. We Create Our Own LivesAs
a Child of the Divine we all have the right to create our own lives according
to our own will. The problem is we're a very complex creation and we
live in a world of complex creatures all doing what they want to do.
Sometimes what they want to do impacts us for good or ill. So we create
and recreate our own lives many times each lifetime.
We also have to heal ourselves when other people impact us for ill, when
others cause us injury of some kind. We heal ourselves spiritually,
mentally, emotionally, psychologically and physically to the best of out
ability all the time. As we mature spiritually we heal ourselves better
and better. This is how we create ourselves over and over, how we create
our own lives.
4. Healing is Creation
If we become aware something needs to be healed, intend to heal it and
believe we can heal it, we will manifest healing in our life. This is
the basis of all spiritual healing. All healing starts with the
awareness something that is currently wrong and that can be made right. Once we intend to
heal it and believe it can be healed, healing will become manifest in whatever
requires healing.
All of Creation is a matter of first an intention, secondly a belief and
finally the manifestation of this intention and belief.
All healing depends upon the
essence of Deity. The essence of Deity is unconditional love. This
unconditional love is the key to how we create our own lives and how we heal
ourselves. Unconditional love is expressed as acceptance, forgiveness
and love. The creative and healing power of the universe is the essence
of Deity.
The Divine is unconditionally loving, all-accepting and all-forgiving.
Divine Acceptance allows us to accept ourselves and others. Divine Forgiveness allows us to
forgive ourselves and
others. Thus we learn how to love in our own lives.
Learning to love ourselves and others is a natural consequence of accepting
and forgiving ourselves and others. Loving ourselves and others is the
key to all spiritual healing, because the Divine is unconditional love and the
Divine heals all things. We become an instrument for the Divine Love of
the Divine when we help other people heal themselves.
