Our beliefs, or tenets - well some of them anyway...
we believe:
That we are children of a loving God, a child of our Heavenly Mother and Father.
That God is both our Mother and Father, our Soul Parents, the Ones who created our soul. They are One who are Two.
That for reasons we will discover one day, our loving Parents have started our lives off on an unloving, rejecting, self-denying, rebellious world.
That They want us to experience living in evil, but don't expect us to live and be it, any longer than we want to.
That when we decide we've had enough of feeling bad, They will do all They can to help us find the truth of our unloving state, just as They did all They can to help us experience our self-denying state.
That our Mother and Father are freely offering us Their love – the Divine Love. And with Their Love we can heal our souls of our negative states.
That our Mother and Father are Divine and we incarnate in Their image, with a masculine and feminine side to us, and of natural or self-love. We do not begin our life in Creation already divine. We begin being of natural love with the soul potential to become as our Mother and Father are – Divine.
That to become divine, we can accept Their offer of love by longing sincerely with all our heart to Them for Their Divine Love. And if our longing is true They will give to our soul Their Divine Love.That Their Divine Love is conveyed into our soul by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit ONLY conveys Their Love doing nothing more.
That our soul, upon receiving Their Divine Love – and Only if we allow it to, can start to become divine.
That by becoming divine we (our soul) becomes of their essence – divine – changing from the mortal to the immortal.
That with our own minds we can inhibit the Divine Love from transforming our soul and helping us to become perfect as our Heavenly Parents are. Therefor choosing to stay in our self-denying states.
That our minds are conditioned and limited by their controlling negative states, a rebellious state passed by default to us from our parents.
That we live in a state of evil, self-denial: rebellion against ourselves, and God.
That the inner transformation process brought about by partaking of the Divine Love is called our soul-healing.
That we need to actively do our soul-healing (which is inclusive of our feeling-healing) to heal our childhood repression the legacy from our negative parenting. And in doing it we can heal all that wrong within us on all levels. And to allow this process to take place we need to submit to our bad feelings, wanting to honour and accept them, allowing them to be: to express them and seek the truth of them. And if we are successful in this then our mind will gradually give up it’s negative control over us. And we will learn how to live with a positive mind and will state, loving ourselves as we love others, all creatures and God.
That we can also heal our childhood repression without the inclusion of Divine Love, this being called our Feeling-Healing. However we are forever limited to life of only a natural love state, not being able to ascend in truth to that of the divine Celestial level and beyond.
That Mary Magdalene and Jesus are soul-mates, and they are the true revealer-teachers of the truths of Divine Love. It is their revelation, we are striving to live and evolve in Divine Love Spirituality.
That we are all self-revealers, and to gain access to our own truth we must understand that our feelings are the key. First we have to live and fully understand through our feelings the truth of our negative mind and will state before we can then move on to growing and evolving in truth under the supportive influences of a positive mind.
That we can live true to ourselves by longing to know the truth that we are, all of which will come to us as we live true to our feelings, both good and bad ones.
That living true to our feelings is also living true to God – and that is living and doing God's Will.That the truth when it comes will set us free: free to live with love, our love and the Divine Love of our true Mother and Father.
New to God?
Having difficulties with the words Mother and Father, Jesus and Mary? Does it all sound too churchy, too religious; and you're afraid of what you might be getting yourself into? What new cult is this?
And what if you don't really know what you want, something within you is looking for answers – truth perhaps? - yet you don't know if it has anything to do with God. But here you are for some reason.
I have written this because this was how I was when I first read the Padgett Messages (contained in the Angelic Revelations of Divine Truth), and I want it to show that you don't have to jump straight in and accept God as both your Mother and Father or even Mary and Jesus to begin Divine Love Spirituality. You can start off slowly, growing into it, if you do find something about it appealing.
I began my spiritual investigations in the New Age. Channeling. Allowing spirits to speak through you and communicating with them in general, sparked my interest as I thought that maybe spirits might know more than we do on Earth they being 'closer' to God. I got involved in all sorts of things, with God being in the background but never the main focus. There was something – an Intelligence, going by such names as Spirit, the Creator, All That Is, Universal Intelligence, God, Universal Mind, to name a few, but nothing concentrated specifically on getting to know it, as it wasn't referred to as a Personality, it was just... everywhere.
I was okay with the Creator. God or the Father reeked too much of religion, of the Church, and all that meaningless stuff I was subjected to at school. I hated it and wanted to keep well away from it.
Gradually as I explored the East and West alternatives to mainstream religion, I answered some questions I had, but always seemed to have more.
Eventually my channeling interests led me to a book, the Angelic Revelations of Divine Truth, which my brother brought back to Australia from America. It included messages from Jesus and other Celestial spirits. And having read a lot of channeled material I thought, well why not, I guess Jesus lives in spirit somewhere so perhaps it's possible he too could speak to us. So, urged on by my brother who was very enthusiastic about it, what became immediately clear was that Jesus was speaking very personally to Mr. James Padgett, who was receiving his messages in a very real and down to earth way. It wasn't Christian, nor churchy, and didn't include endless quotes from the Bible. It was Jesus speaking about how so many people have misquoted him, saying he said things that he didn't say at all. And, as I read the things he did say, they were all so practical and made sense, not like so many of the Bible quotes. There was no need to interpret them, what he said was all very straightforward, and a relief to finally read something that did make absolute sense, and was readily applicable to my life.
Reading Jesus' messages I began to understand that so much attributed to him and what he supposedly said in the Bible was wrong, was sheer nonsense, and made up by people not interested in finding and living the truth, but only wanting to use his and God's name to gain power, hence the manifestation of the Church.
So I decided to give what Jesus said about longing to God, his Heavenly Father, for His Love – the Divine Love, a love that is very different to our own natural love – a go. And as I longed, amazingly, I felt the Divine Love flowing into me just as Jesus said I would.
At this time, however, I only just manage to accept this Jesus of the Padgett Messages, keeping him well away from anything to do with Jesus of the Church, but still I had difficulties with the word God and definitely with Heavenly Father. I could long to the Creator for his Divine Love but that was about it.
With time, the more I longed (I couldn't say prayed – that too was too churchy) and the more sincerely I wanted the Divine Love, and with more reading and re-reading of the Padgett Messages, slowly I became more familiar and accepting of the words God and Heavenly Father. I realised that they had nothing to do with the Church, the churches all being off on their own contrived mind-thing about the Bible, but had everything to do with helping me to find the truth of myself and to heal all my afflictions – the reasons for my unhappiness and fear.
After about three months, I remember I was taking a visualisation meditation group I had started prior to reading the Padgett Messages, and was now introducing the Divine Love and all Jesus and the Celestial spirits said, when suddenly I found myself saying '... now lets all open our hearts and long to our Heavenly Father for His Divine Love'. And it felt good to say it! My relationship with God had changed. It was now very personal. God was indeed my Heavenly Father – I just knew it. It felt right, just as later, when I was introduced to my Heavenly Mother, on 'meeting' Her, it also felt right. It felt very good to know God as my Heavenly Parents.
The important part for me, and what I want you to understand is that ones relationship with God, like all relationships, is constantly evolving. You begin it impersonally and it moves deeper into the personal becoming more intimate as you get to know each other. Currently I am very happy with knowing God as my Mother and Father, and who knows, perhaps one day my relationship with Them will evolve even deeper to new levels of intimacy, and I will know Them by some other name that expresses all I feel. So for now, although it does sound churchy, the meanings behind the words and the feelings I feel have nothing to do with the Church.
I do consider DLS (Divine Love Spirituality) my spirituality, and yes, I guess I would say it's my religion too; however, really what I am focused on is the TRUTH. That is what I want and what I want to live. And the wonderful thing is it comes to me, just as it will come to you, as you embark on the healing of your soul. I don't need to belong to a church, or to live a set of rules from a book. All the truth is revealed to me as I live true to all my feelings.
So if you find that initially you might feel put off, daunted, intimidated by all the talk of the Mother and Father and Mary and Jesus, but you feel you like the idea about directly receiving God's Divine Love into your soul, then I would suggest relating to God however you feel you want to, give it go, and see what happens. And I assure you, you won't be getting yourself involved in any mysterious cult or half-baked spiritual system. Cults are for people who need to be told what to do. For people who are still little children needing to obey their parents, exactly as the Church demands of it's followers. DLS is ONLY for the person who sincerely wants to find the truth of themselves, life and God; and to heal themselves of feeling they still have to obey what someone else tells them to do. If you don't, it won't appeal to you. And were you to do your soul-healing wanting to gain personal power, such untrue motives would quickly be shown up and fail to work.
DLS is what you will make it. As it should be. We should all spiritually grow through and from our own endeavours of seeking to know the Truth, whist partaking of God's Divine Love.
