11. God

Why do people tread so timidly around this word, when it should be more intimate to them than anything else? What stops from contemplating it thoroughly and getting a feel for it in order to understand it fully?
 
Is it reverence? No. Is this a peculiar “dare not” in the face of something great, commendable, or profound? Never; for consider: You pray to God, yet you cannot even form a proper conception of Whom you are praying to; on the contrary, you are confused, because neither school nor the Church has ever provided you with clear information to satisfy your inner urge for the Truth. The actual Trinity remains, in essence, a mystery to you, which you ultimately try to come to terms with as best as you can.
 
Can prayer really be as intimate, as trusting, as it should be under these circumstances? It is impossible. But if you know your God and He becomes more familiar to you, is prayer not accompanied by deeper intuitions that are much more direct and intimate?
 
And you should and must come closer to your God! You must not just stand at a distance. How foolish it is to suggest that engaging extensively with God is wrong. Laziness and convenience even call it is blasphemy! But I tell you: God wills it. The condition of closeness lies within the whole of Creation. Therefore, it is not humility that shies away from this, but on the contrary, boundless arrogance! Instead of attempting to draw near to God in order to recognize Him, he demands that God comes closer to him so that he can recognize Him! Hypocrisy, complacency, wherever one looks, wherever one listens, and all in the cloak of false humility!
 
But you, who no longer wish to sleep, who seek with fervour and strive for the Truth, heed this message, strive to grasp what is right:
 
Who is your God? You know, He said, “I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before me!”
 
There is only one God, only one Force. But what then is the Trinity? The Trinity? God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit?
 
When humanity closed itself off from Paradise by no longer allowing itself to be guided by intuition, which is purely spiritual and therefore also close to God, and instead scrupulously raising the earthly intellect and subjecting itself to it, thus making itself the slave of its own tool, which was given to it to use, it naturally also distanced itself more and more from God. The division was thus complete: humanity became predominantly inclined only towards the earthly, which is necessarily bound to space and time, something that God does not know in His Nature and therefore can never grasp. With each generation, the gulf widened, and people chained themselves more and more only to the earth. They became earthbound intellectuals who call themselves materialists, even with pride, because they cannot sense their chains, since being firmly bound to space and time also naturally narrowed their horizons at the same time. How could they find their way back to God? Never!
 
It was impossible, if help did not come from God. Therefore, a new bridge had to be built from Him if help was to be offered. And He was merciful. God Himself, in His purity, could no longer reveal Himself to the base intellectuals, who had become incapable of sensing, seeing or hearing His messengers through their intellectual work. The exceedingly few who were still able to do so were ridiculed, as the constricted field of vision of the materialists, bound to space and time, rejected any thought of an extension beyond it as impossible, since it was incomprehensible to them. Even the prophets, therefore, were no longer sufficient, as their power could no longer penetrate, because in the end even the basic ideas of all religious endeavours had become purely materialistic. So, a Mediator had to come between the Godhead and the lost humanity, One who possessed more force than all the others before Him, so He could be penetrate through. Shall one say: for the sake of the few who, despite the most crass materialism, still longed for God? This would be correct, but opponents would prefer to call it presumption on the part of the believers, instead of recognizing in it the mighty Love of God and yet also strict Justice, which offers redemption evenly in reward and punishment.
 
But the Mediator, who had the Force to penetrate the confusion, had to be divine Himself, since the degeneracy had already spread so far that even the prophets, as messengers, achieved nothing. Therefore, God in His love separated a Part of Himself through an Act of Will and incarnated It (sinking into the Gross Material) into flesh and blood, into a human body of male gender: Jesus of Nazareth, as the Word now made flesh, the incarnate Love of God, Son of God!
 
The Part that was separated Part and yet remained closely connected spiritually, had thus become personal. Even after shedding the earthly body, It remained personal through Its incarnation in the closest reunion with God the Father.
 
Therefore, God the Father and God the Son are two yet, in reality, only one! And the “Holy Spirit”? Christ Himself said of Him that sins against God the Father and God the Son could be forgiven, but never sins against the “Holy Spirit”!
 
Is the “Holy Spirit” higher than or more than God the Father and God the Son? This question has troubled and occupied many minds and confused many children.
 
The “Holy Spirit” is the Spirit of the Father, Who, separated from Him, works separately in the whole of Creation, and who, like the Son, is nevertheless still closely connected with Him and remains one with Him. The immutable Laws of Creation, which run through the entire universe like nerve fibres run through the entire universe and bring about the unconditional reciprocal action, man’s fate, or his karma, are... by the “Holy Spirit”! or more clearly: Its workings.
 
This is why the Saviour said that no one can sin against the Holy Spirit with impunity, because in the inexorable and immutable reciprocal action, retribution comes back to the originator, to the starting point, whether it be good or evil. And as the Son of God is of the Father, so also is the Holy Spirit of Him. They are both therefore Parts of Himself, belonging wholly to Him, inseparable, since otherwise a Part would be missing from Him. It is like the arms of a body, which perform independent actions and yet belong to it, if the body is to be whole; and which also can only perform independent actions in connection with the whole, and are therefore absolutely one with it.
 
Thus God the Father in His Omnipotence and Wisdom, is on His right as a Part of Him, God the Son, Who is Love, and on His left, God the Holy Spirit, Who is Justice. Both proceeded from God the Father and belong to Him as One. This is the Trinity of the One God.
 
Before Creation, God was One! During Creation, He gave up a Part of His Will to work independently in Creation, thereby becoming twofold. When it became necessary to provide lost humanity a Mediator, because the Purity of God did not permit a direct connection with humanity self-chained without the incarnation, He, out of Love, severed a Part of Himself for the temporary incarnation to make Himself understandable to humanity again, and became threefold with the birth of Christ!
 
While many understood what God the Father and God the Son were, the concept of the “Holy Spirit” remained a confused concept. He is the exercising Justice, Whose eternal, immutable and incorruptible Laws pulsate through the Universe and until now have been referred to only vaguely as: Fate!... Karma! The Divine Will!
