Spiritual Teachings and Universal Truths

God's
Creation and the First Revolt
God
is a spirit, and everything
created by Him is composed of spiritual energy.
It was in His image that He called into existence spiritual beings in
numbers so vast that no figures devised by mankind can even begin to express
them.
In what manner the infinitely great and almighty God created the spirit
world is something that you could not understand if God was to explain it.
Knowledge of this is not necessary to mankind and is of no value to the
good of your soul.
It is sufficient for you to know how you stand with regard to God's
Creation, in order that you may learn why you were placed on Earth and what
tasks you have to fulfill during your stay here.
To teach you these things is the purpose of what I am about to tell you
of the Creation.
God did not create the world with one stroke, nor six strokes as the
false religions teach. God is the great Architect Who, with strict observance of
laws conceived with infinite wisdom, builds up little things into large ones,
simple things into complex, and out of a single seed, produces the tree with its
millions of seeds. He builds up the
family, not by calling into existence parents and children simultaneously, but
by first creating the parents and endowing them with the power of reproduction,
so that in time the family may grow through the birth of the offspring, and out
of this family new ones may come forth without limit.
In a similar manner God proceeded with the creation of the spiritual
realm. Every law that you find on
Earth exists in the spirit world also. I
will emphasize this because it is the basic truth underlying all knowledge of
the Spiritual Dimensions whether you believe it, or whether you reject it with a
smile of disbelief.
You may shake your head in disbelief, but it is true none the less, that
the law which prevails in Nature on Earth, with all living things, namely,
reproduction by the union of the male and the female, must and does apply to the
same extent in the spiritual dimensions. Matter
is merely the incarnation of the ethereal, and therefore merely another state of
spirit, for which the spiritual laws are not abrogated, but applied in a way
that is adapted to matter. Just as
in material Creation where there are males and females in every species, so too
there are male and female spirits in the spirit world.
Among spirits there are as many males as there are females, a female
spirit being mated to each male, according to God's law.
They are invariably perfectly mated, and find their greatest happiness in
mutually supplying each other's limitations and in faithful collaboration in the
task that God has assigned to them.
Such spirit couples that were created for each other are known as
"duals", a term intended to express, "two who belong to each
other". These are the matches
that were made in Heaven. None but
God, not even the "Son of God" known to you as "Christ",
whose real name was and is Immanuel, is exempt from the union of the male with
the female. To all created spirits
the words apply, "Male and female created He them", and "Be
fruitful and multiply".
Immanuel is the highest
Spirit that God could create. He is in every way God's most perfect image, so far as
any created spirit can possess the Creator's perfection. He is not God, as is so generally taught today by the false
religions, but the first created "Son of God", and as such, His
highest and most perfect Creature.
Following Immanuel, six further spirits, also called Sons of God came
into being, but these owe the existence of their spiritual physical bodies to
the first created Son and are His inferiors in power, greatness and glory.
The second Son of God was Lucifer the "Light-Bearer", next to
Immanuel the greatest of created spirits and subsequently a rebel against God.
Still another of God's seven sons is met with in the story of Tobias in
which the great celestial spirit, which had accompanied the young Tobias in
human form said, "I am Raphael, one of God's seven sons."
(Tobias 12:15)
Except for the first created Son of God, the entire spirit world was
brought into existence not by direct divine creation, as was God's first-born
Son, but was called into being through that Son upon Whom God had conferred
creative power. Just as a human race has the source of its corporeal
existence in the first man of that race, so the whole spirit world owes its spiritual
physical existence to Immanuel.
Humans have inherited only their corporeal bodies from their ancestor
through many generations, while their spirits are united with their bodies in
every instance without any collaboration on the part of their procreators.
The celestial spiritual beings owe their spiritual physical bodies to the
Firstling of celestial Creation, to the first-born Son of God, while their
spirits, as coming from God, are always joined by God to their spiritual
physical bodies. There are celestial physical bodies and terrestrial physical
bodies.
These are two different states of spiritual energy in body form.
All spirits receive their shape in what is called the spiritual
energy body.
This spiritual energy that I speak of comes from God and is found in
everything that exists, because it is everything that exists, that has been
created.
You can understand this better if I give you this analogy.
If you have liquid water, ice, and steam you have the chemicals hydrogen
and oxygen, H2O, in different states of existence, and water regardless of which
form it's in, is always a spiritual energy form.
As in terrestrial Creation, where you find the most widely divergent
kinds and orders of living organisms, high and low, each one perfectly designed
to fulfill its functions, so too there is a wonderful variety of kinds and
orders among the spirits which God has shaped into individuals living through
out the vast thirteen spiritual dimensions.
There are human spirits and spirits endowed with celestial bodies, called
celestial spirits. These are the seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominions,
virtues, powers, princes, archangels, and angels.
Every one of these types serves God in a great and powerful specific
manner.
The spirit world created through Immanuel and united with Him in a
communion formed a wonderful living organism in which all spirits were members
of a spiritual community, although they differed in kind and perfection.
Like the parts of a terrestrial body, which though having different
shapes and functions, yet constitute an organic whole in which no part is
superfluous while none is independent of the others, the spirit Creation formed
a spiritual body of which Immanuel was the head, the other parts being composed
of the other spirits. Every spirit
had its allotted task, great or small, but together they all formed one great
and glorious unit, in which no spirit was superfluous and in which no spirit
worked for itself alone, but in which all collaborated with each other at the
wondrous task to be fulfilled by God's Creation.
It was intended that they should share in the labors of God, and
consequently, in the happiness and beauty of Him Who had called them into
existence, in the glory of God and of Immanuel, their King, Whom God had
anointed and appointed.
Paul in his epistles constantly refers to the "secret of the body of
Immanuel". He calls this spiritual body, this great communion of
spirits, the "church". The
"church" is therefore the communion of spirits loyal to God under the
rule of Immanuel. The word
"church" signifies the "rule of the Lord".
Whoever pledges his allegiance to this rule and consequently to God,
belongs to the "church". The
true meaning of the word "church" has therefore nothing in common with
worldly churches and religious denominations, which are the work of mankind,
conceived in human error, and like all of mankind's handiwork, short-lived.
What Paul describes as the spiritual body of Immanuel was a literal fact
in the spirit-creation. All
spiritual beings brought into existence were members of this great spiritual
organization and were subject to Immanuel, its Ruler.
They were, however, under no compulsion, enjoying perfect liberty and
being free to follow their own will in all things.
All of them were truly devoted to Him, God's Regent and their King, and
through Him to God. This great
spiritual family was closely united in the bonds of truth and love.
Immanuel's rule as God's regent was not that of a despot, but one of
brotherly guidance, it was the protecting hand of the strong extended to shield
the weak.
In view of their freedom of action, which was the highest gift conferred
upon the spirits by the Creator, it was possible for them to refuse obedience to
the laws of the King Whom God had set over them.
Every created spirit, even the angels, all except Immanuel the first Son
of God, can error. The spirits
remain holy only as long as they recognize the authority of God and Immanuel
over them and do not by apostasy secede from God's Kingdom.
Unhappily, the defection of a large part of this spiritual organization
created by God came about through rebellion against Immanuel.
It was not, as the false religions teach, a direct rebellion against God
Himself, but against the Regent appointed by Him.
