We have two fathers: a physical father and a spiritual father

— We all have the same spiritual Father; we are brothers and sisters —

[By Sister Chirya]

The Call of the Time is telling us to reconnect with the Highest Spiritual Energy in the universe, our Spiritual Father, God, and use his help. We all have the same spiritual Father. We are brothers and sisters. 

God the Father is our spiritual parent, who loves and patiently corrects us when we go wrong; who makes our personality positive and pure again; reminds us of who we are; teaches right behavior, and makes us beautiful again. 

Our attention is drawn to God when we want solace, real peace, pure power, and true love.

“But how can I possibly create a relationship with God?” Think about how to connect two electrical wires. All you have to do is remove the rubber insulation from the wires. 

God has no physical insulation to remove. God is spiritual light. So the key to having a loving connection with Him is to remove our body-conscious insulation and our mistaken identity of “I am a body.” Over time we human beings have forgotten the BEING, the soul, the invisible light within, that gives life to the human body. We forgot our true identity as a soul, an eternal thinking being of spiritual light made in the image of God. When the insulation of body consciousness is removed, spiritual energy flows. 

“Remain set in your stable seat of self-respect; don’t become upset.” In the current worldly calamities of nature and war, thousands devastated by death and destruction are calling out to God to save them and their loved ones. By connecting with God’s power, the vibrations of our powerful thoughts of peace and compassion radiate out, travel at great speed, and comfort those trapped by these worldly sorrows and calamities.  

“Whenever you remember Me, I become present.” The Father’s pure love removes the pain of sorrow and gives happiness. If the Supreme Being did not exist, we would have kept falling down in qualities and powers.

“Just create the thought and the space in your heart, and use your time to be with Me.”

Slow down, look within, dial zero, silence the mind, and draw the Father’s pure energy of love into the self.  Make your personality like God’s by having a deep relationship of true love with Him. God in His mercy pulls our thoughts towards Himself, saying, “Keep Your Mind with Me.”

By imbibing spiritual knowledge, removing the insulation of body consciousness, and remembering, “God, my Father is doing everything,” we experience a deep feeling of peace, love, happiness, and contentment. His pure love rejuvenates the self and makes the old world new again.

The world will be at peace when we set aside external physical differences and accept universal brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God. Then the love and respect we give to both our fathers makes every day into Father’s Day!
