In the presence of God there is no evil. To blame God for the evil that we cause is like blaming mathematics for our errors or music if we cannot play a musical instrument properly. God is no respecter of persons, of race, nationality or religion. From the divine perspective, God is one! And if we ask why the world is not as beautiful and ideal as it might be, the answer must lie in ourselves, for we are the creators of the conditions here on earth. We are never the victims of anything outside ourselves. If we wish to improve our imperfect earthly conditions, we can become active in two directions: outwardly and inwardly. And we can pursue our struggle with or without love.
Struggle need not be bad. However, if we fight against something, we have already lost. For then our energy flows to our adversary and makes him stronger. But if we fight for something, we direct our attention towards something perfect, and that is already a good beginning. And yet we will be unable to harvest any good, ripe fruit if we forget love in our struggle. Struggle without love is self-righteous, hard and separating. A warrior nature may perhaps need to tread a dangerous path where defeat lurks on both sides of a razor's edge. There are people whose zeal is kindled only when faced with the toughest challenge. The peaceful path of love is gentler. It can be found and trodden with a little discipline, but here too we must be clear about one thing when we set out: as our knowledge grows, so does our responsibility. Everyone who reads this article will subsequently have a greater responsibility for life, and it makes no difference whether he believes its content or not.

If we wish to find the essence of love, we must first go to its source. It arises in each of us - each one without exception, even if it is no more than a trickle in the heart of a cynic or world-weary person. The great immutable commandments that order the infinite realm of life throughout eternity are all based on the great principle of creation, namely LOVE. It is the heart, the source of all, the true center point from which the entire world of form pours forth. So: love thy neighbor as thyself. If you don't at first bathe in the love of your own being, you can perhaps try to be kind to others and do good to them. But your acts will then not be truly permeated by the essence of love.
It was said of the Count de Saint Germain that he was the only one who knew the 'secret of peace'. What might that mean? Peace is the sea that lies tranquil because all storms have abated. It is based on harmony, on unison rather than mutual strife, it is the opposite of a struggle against something. There can be no true peace without love, and peace originates from the knowledge that we are all one. I cannot hurt anyone without hurting myself at the same time. Peace comes from accepting reality: everything exists, and everything is good. As soon as I criticize something, am dissatisfied with it, my peace is disturbed. As we are the real makers of the conditions of our lives, it makes no sense to rebel against them. If they do not agree with our ideas of how to live a perfect life, we have probably done something 'wrong' and as long as we let our thoughts and feelings run riot like young pups, we should not be surprised if we don't find ourselves at the place of our ideals. Thoughts are conscious creative forces: "In the beginning was the word" - nay, an idea which became a word!
This knowledge ought to banish every feeling of powerlessness and vulnerability from our minds: my thoughts and feelings can weigh more deeply on the scales of all good on earth if I wish it. So let us take our thoughts and feelings in hand! I will be peaceful only if I am harmless: try to do no harm to any part of life.
How can I do that? By going within, into the heart, where the divine spark dwells. So first we move inwards, to the source of love.

Have you ever asked what makes our heart beat? Is it not a marvel that still remains completely mysterious to us, while we seek the principle of perpetual motion? A new heart already begins to beat in the mother's womb, rhythmically, continuously through the entire span of life. No physician can answer this question from his textbooks. A few years ago, American medical researchers discovered a pencil-sized point in the upper left part of the heart that was much hotter than the rest of the heart. It is the point at which the divine spark glows in the heart, and this glow can be physically observed! This spark is continuously fed by the stream of divine electrons - the divine light - that flows from the creator into the heart of every human being. Most heart specialists know about this mysterious point in the heart, but they rarely talk about it, because they have no explanation for it. We know of a surgical team at a Swiss hospital that refuses to perform cardiac operations close to this point. They know that when an operation is performed there, the patient is very likely to die. So it is not merely a beautiful idea that we and God are one, but a physical fact that - even if we deny God - we are supplied at every moment of our lives with His life energy, which streams into the spark in our heart. This spark originates from the being of God, and its destiny is to become a great and powerful flame one day. So there is such a high density of electrons at this point, so much energy flows in, that a physically observable spark manifests. Every blood molecule that flows through our heart is charged with this divine energy, the life force itself, and this same energy flows continuously through our nervous system. The spark in the heart keeps our bodily temperature constant. We get a fever when this spark expands a little temporarily and thus raises the body temperature, thus incinerating viruses and bacteria. However, the body can withstand a temperature rise of only about five degrees. Above this point, our physical system collapses. At a temperature of 43 degrees Celsius, the proteins begin to disintegrate - resulting in physical death.

By being pulsed through the heart, and specifically through this hot spot, the blood is continuously purified and transformed. So our heart is not simply a pump, but a transformer and cleaner of our blood - and we can guess what this means when we are aware that the blood is also called the 'bearer of the soul'. In any case, the idea of the heart as a pacemaker needs to be corrected. It is not the heart that pumps. The blood flows under its own spiraling force, receiving the impulse to do so from this spark.
Every genuine evolutionary step in human beings is associated with an enlargement of this spark. Every denial of God, every turning away from Him, every destructive thought and feeling weakens this spark. The smaller the spark, the greater the woes of our world: sickness, hardship and destitution. But as soon as we begin to harmonize our thoughts and feelings and prove our sincerity by a more spiritual and loving life, this spark in our hearts also expands. Everything that we do is henceforth charged with more energy, has greater active force - and greater consequences if we carelessly misuse these energies. The key to the spark in the heart is love. If we sit in the stillness, in peace with ourselves, and sink into our hearts with loving thoughts, we simply must >perceive an echo - perhaps a weak one, like a feebly flickering candle - and yet! The spark is there, in each of us, and if it were not, our heart would have stopped beating.
Our body is the 'temple of the most high', and the heart is its tabernacle. This is neither pious talk, nor a matter of opinion, but physical reality! I AM A CELL IN THE BODY OF GOD. Without me God is incomplete, and every denial of my own divinity is blasphemy! I AM the third aspect of the divine trinity that also dwells in my heart.
For those who had always considered themselves as separate from God in the last two millennia, this statement may be hard to accept. And yet it is true.
The divine trinity is not purely male, as the priests of the Catholic Church insist. It is - essentially - a 'heavenly family': God the Father, God the Mother and the Christ child. God the Father corresponds to the will, power or force (blue flame); God the Mother to loving wisdom and illumination (golden flame); and together they bring forth the 'child', love (pink flame) also known as the Christ. Will, wisdom and love are thus the aspects of the divinity that also dwell in our hearts: as the threefold flame to which the spark must one day awake. The larger this flame grows, the more light energy can flow into our physical body. Its rate of vibration then naturally speeds up, for our cells too are ultimately condensed light. The higher the vibrations of a body, the faster do the electrons vibrate in the atom and the more receptive do we become to higher vibrations.
We bring ourselves increasingly into resonance with what is perfect, and this will also be reflected in our personal world. Economic recession, sickness, end-of-the-world fears do not even reach us, because there is nothing in us that can resonate with such things. We have literally raised ourselves above the world of Maya, the world of shadows and mass consciousness. The only security that we find is in our divine self, for this self, life and the law are ONE.
