A Teacher named “The Beloved One.”
Contributing Receiver.
The Beloved One: “All people are ignorant to some extent, because nobody knows everything
there is to know. There are different levels to knowledge. At times one can be quite in the dark about reality,
although everyone has some notion about what reality is. People, who live on the surface, or fringes of life, have
the least knowledge of reality, and they usually don’t think any deeper than the worries and pleasures life
has to offer them.
“And more is the pity, because a lot of potential opportunities will also escape their attention, including
true enjoyment. True and deeply heart-felt joy is not to be found in the shallowness of life, as most ‘surface
joys’ the world has to offer are fleeting, never to be recalled. Ignorance can also be experienced on the different
levels of living, because the learning never stops.
“Learning goes on forever, as experiences go on forever. Even after the dissolution of the mortal habiliments,
and after the awakening from the longer or shorter sleep of death, learning starts anew. At first there is the recall
of the worthwhile things from the earthly life your spirit personality was engaged in. And, oh yes, there might
also be regrets due to the ignorance in which you lived your life. And often the lament and pinch of regret will
come, “Oh, if only I had known this, or if only I had known about that, I would not have lived my life with
so much anxiety, and so much fear, and I would have been more tolerant and forgiving.
“Hindsight is usually one hundred percent perfect, and more is the pity that so many choose not to think for
themselves, and just accept what so-called learned people tell them. Let Me assure you that only experiences are
worthwhile. Book knowledge may be useful, but if one remains ignorant when the knowledge is not put into practice,
what good is this knowledge then?
“It is most important, especially in the area of religion, that one can speak of personal experience, and that
one can be witness about one’s inner life, without being chastised or belittled by those, who think they know
better, because everyone has part of truth in them as the eternal Creator has gifted each thinking man and woman
with a gift of Himself. We have discussed this before so it should not come as a great surprise that I mention this
again. All of you have this precious Guidance, but most of you remain woefully ignorant of this Gift and all the
delightful possibilities this brings.
“It is truly a great pity that not more humans develop the habit of connecting up daily with this Gift, first
to strengthen the connection with your God and secondly to grow and nurture your soul together with this Indwelling
Companion, which is yours to keep for all eternity if you so desire.
“It is all free will on your part, but I can assure you that the sooner you discover this precious Gift within
you, the happier your life will become, because your belief will then have turned into faith and trust and, all
doubt will have fled from you. You will know for certain that you are never alone, anymore, never mind what might
befall you. Each day will bring new opportunities to flex your faith muscles in the exercising of trust that all
is well and in divine order. You will even ask, “What is Your will for me today?
“Because it is so very important that you place your own puny free will, willingly in the background, so God
and human can cooperate as one. It is the ultimate goal of the ages, that God and human become as one, and no one
will be able to tell you apart anymore. Such is the great love of the Creator for the creature, that He has bestowed
upon the creature part of Himself, so you can learn to become a creator yourself, in creating your own life together
with God, and watch your ignorance flee as does darkness before daylight.”
