All you have to do is remove the rubber insulation from the wires.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cI am a body.\u201d 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.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Remain set in your stable seat of self-respect; don\u2019t become upset.&#8221; 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\u2019s 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. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whenever you remember Me, I become present.&#8221; The Father&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>&#8220;Just create the thought and the space in your heart, and use your time to be with Me.&#8221;<\/i><\/b><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Slow down, look within, dial zero, silence the mind, and draw the Father\u2019s pure energy of love into the self.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Make your personality like God\u2019s by having a deep relationship of true love with Him. God in His mercy pulls our thoughts towards Himself, saying, &#8220;Keep Your Mind with Me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By imbibing spiritual knowledge, removing the insulation of body consciousness, and remembering, &#8220;God, my Father is doing everything,&#8221; we experience a deep feeling of peace, love, happiness, and contentment. His pure love rejuvenates the self and makes the old world new again.<\/p>\n<p>The world will be at peace when we set aside external physical differences and accept universal brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God.
