We, mankind, are the worst enemies of ourselves. Because of the wrong ways we have been living. We caused this viral affliction. We attracted it lawfully as a reciprocal consequence of our turning away from the simple Natural Laws governing our existence and the entire Creation. As we attracted every other calamity that has ever befallen us, or that may still hit us.
Through these Laws, the Lord, our ever loving Creator and Owner of the Universe, speaks to us to guide and lead us aright as we go about in His wonderful Creation. Living in accordance with the guidance of these Laws is at the same time living in obedience to the Holy and Supreme Will of the Almighty Father in Creation. It means living as He wants us to be.
And automatically, this voluntary compliance with His Laws definitely would have assured for us an unhindered connection with the chains of help flowing from the Luminous Heights, from His inexhaustible Treasure House above. Our existence here would have been an uninterrupted experiencing of joy, harmony, peace and everything good for our well being. This Earth would have been a picture of Paradise flourishing in radiant light, health and happiness for the enjoyment of all human beings in it.
That is the design, the secret we must rediscover, embrace and adhere to, the best and lasting solution to the numerous problems confronting mankind on Earth today, or that may still knock us, if we want happiness, harmony, good health and peace.
But sadly, we rejected the unimaginable love extended to us in these Laws, which are our best friends. We turned away from them and went our own wrong, wicked, evil ways which we designed for ourselves. Wrong ways arising from our conceited, arrogant opinions and beliefs, which are against, and hostile to the Ways designed for us in the Laws governing Creation.
From these our wrong opinions and beliefs, we formulated our own systems of governance laid on human laws dubbed ‘constitutions’ to govern us as against the everlasting Wisdom of the Father. Sadly, we went our own way. To formulate our own laws, ‘constitutions’ which are narrow, selfish and hostile to the Light, which are against the Wise and Loving Plan of the Light for our welfare, peace, harmony and happiness.
Despite the overwhelming helps from the Light, we went our own way to throw ourselves and His beautiful Earth into disease, distress, suffering, chaos and confusion.
Now we suffer the consequences. Till we, like the prodigal son, come to the painful awareness of how we misled ourselves into the sorry mess of the prevailing viral affliction among other crises we now face on Earth. And resolve genuinely in genuine repentance, to turn back from our wicked, evil ways and embrace truly the Laws expressing the Holy Will of the Father on Earth.
This is the only way, the only solution to this global problem. The only way to help us experience consciously gratefully, although in scalding tears, and survive this and many horrors that may still be coming.
We threw ourselves and the Earth into chaos, breaking earthly humanity into hostile camps run on the basis of a Babel of human laws. Confusion everywhere. Affliction, sorrow everywhere. Increasingly, our wrong ways pushed us and our environment far away and deeper into the swamp, into the Darkness which we had brought about through our dark thoughts, words and deeds, through our wrong opinions. And thus away from the path on which true help from the Light, from the Lord, could easily reach us.
But all along, the Lord has been merciful. Amid the confusion that has been raging on earth for millennia, which we caused, by turning away from the right path lovingly shown us through ages in His Laws, in all the many helps that have been sent down to us through the teachers, prophets, Called ones, forerunners of the Word of Truth, He still sent us the greatest help in the Word of Truth Itself brought by His Son, Jesus.
Sadly, we did not listen to His Son either. We persecuted and crucified Him. Still the Lord was merciful. When He hung on the Cross bleeding and mutilated, He still begged His Father to forgive us. Before this sad turn, He had promised us that Another One, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit shall come. To remind us of all He had taught us; reprove the world of sin and righteousness; lead us into all Truth; and bring the judgement.
Thus, the Word of Truth is the last and only help to this viral affliction, the only solution to the confusion raging everywhere, to the problem confronting mankind on Earth today. If we bring ourselves down from our artificial height, to examine earnestly, absorb and truly accord our whole activities with all that It gives.
