Mercy And Forgiveness
The Road From Sinner To Sainthood
Part Two
Compassion and love, mercy and forgiveness are the Divine characteristics that awaken in you quite naturally when you finally grasp that whatever once happened on the Earth plane – and still does in some parts of your world – has always been and to this day is doing so for wise educational reasons. This is My way of teaching all of you, as a race of young Gods in the making, your most vital evolutionary lessons. Once you have gained the gift of hindsight, you will be able to see for yourself that for all of you there is every reason to be grateful for the experiences of the past.
Before Me, each one of you is of equal value and loved totally and unconditionally, and that this is true from the most highly evolved souls down to the smallest and least significant, the dirtiest, smelliest and most miserable members of the human race. The more you work with and practise My Divine characteristics, the more your consciousness expands and your energies and vibrations grow lighter. And that is the only means by which human souls can draw ever closer into the loving reunion with Me on the highest levels of life.
Wise ones, who are aware of these things, refuse to peer down their noses onto anyone and that includes those who at present have to do battle with experiencing the depths of human depravity and desolation. At the sight of the suffering of these poor souls the wise one’s own soul memories stir within and an aching feeling of compassion and love opens their hearts. Their whole being fills with a great yearning to help their younger siblings and do whatever is within their power to alleviate any kind of suffering that is in your world.
For each one of you it is also necessary to look at yourselves and your ways of the past with compassion and love. This becomes easier when you understand that what you experienced in your role as one of the sinners of your world is an essential part of everyone’s evolutionary pathway. The first section of this road takes you down into experiencing the lowest and darkest corners of human existence and the deepest depths of deprivation, humiliation and despair. And for each one of you it is true that every step of the way, for a very long time unbeknown to your small earthly self, I, your Highest or God Self, the living God who is part of you, is with you.
Never forget that each time you reach the bottom of any kind of a pit, there is nowhere to go but in an upwards direction. When you truly have had enough of exploring one field of experience and cannot take any more, I am the one, your Spirit Self, who mercifully takes you out of it. This is how slowly but surely, lifetime after lifetime your Angels and Masters, friends and helpers in the world of light, on My behalf and demand move you forwards and upwards. This continues until you are at last ready to return into the conscious awareness of your true nature and your oneness with Me. The Christian hymn below is speaking the truth, although it is not Jesus, a force outside of yourself, but Me and My messengers who accompany you on the highways and byways of life that lead every human soul from the state of sinner to that which is known as sainthood and spiritual Mastership.
You shall cross the barren desert,
But you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety,
Though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words to foreign men,
And they will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
Refrain:
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow Me
And I will give you rest.
If you pass through raging waters,
In the sea you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
You shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the power of hell
And death is at your side,
Know that I am with you through it all.
And when I told you in the Bible’s St. John 6:40: ‘My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.’ When approached from a higher standpoint, it is easy to see that this teaching is neither a lie nor an empty promise, because esoterically the last day stands for the final stage of every soul’s earthly curriculum. When all its lessons have been successfully absorbed by you and this plane of life has nothing left to offer you, you will be allowed to leave Mother Earth’s environment.
As soon as no further lifetimes in physicality are required by you, the Angels will lift you out of it and take you to continue your studies on ever higher and more exalted levels of life. Up to the highest every one of you will eventually journey, back into the fully conscious oneness with Me. All your friends and helpers in the world of light, and especially the Angels will then no longer be invisible to you and travelling incognito with you. You will be able to see them and talk with them to your heart’s delight. But to ensure that these things will come to pass for you, it is of vital importance that you patiently and willingly surrender your ego desires and submit yourself to whatever earthly lessons are still in store for you, so that even the last one of your Karmic debts will be paid in full.
