MAN essentially is spirit whose origin lies in the uppermost and highest section of creation known broadly as the Spiritual Sphere which is followed by a denser and heavier sphere of animistic substance where animals and nature beings originate.
After this, comes the last section which is the heaviest and densest part known as the World of Matter wherein lies our earth. Ultimately, the Spiritual Realm being the lightest and more luminous remains uppermost as the crown of Creation often described as Paradise or the Kingdom of God and it is eternal. But far above the Spiritual Realm and outside Creation stands the Divine sphere of enormous and incomprehensible vastness above which, at an unimaginable distance, is the Being of the Almighty Father - in His unapproachable and unsubstantiated majesty.
Due to the fact that man was unable to withstand the intensity of the Divine Radiation at that height, he was obliged to move further down to cooler regions of the World of Matter for the purpose of developing to become self-conscious, an attribute he lacked as a spirit seed-germ when it first came into being in the Spiritual Realm. He was to develop through exposure to various experiences in the much coarser and heavier World of Matter and at the end of his successful schooling, he would then return home to the Spiritual Realm or the Kingdom of God where he would enter consciously into joyful activity directed towards ennobling the World of Matter lying below.
Furthermore, he had to take on coverings that are of the same substance and homogenous with each section of the Regions he traverses so that as he is much lighter by nature, he did not need to float but could interact and experience fully every part it crosses in order to achieve the objective that brought him down to the World of Matter.
Therefore, man originates from the Spiritual Realm or the Kingdom of God. That was why Christ in answer to a question by the Pharisees as to when the Kingdom of God was to come, replied that 'the Kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is' or ‘There'! For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you." This actually refers to the spirit of man as long as it is not walled in through evil thoughts and actions. If it is so walled in, it becomes inactive and loses connection with Paradise and eventually ceases to exist.
It is the Will of the Almighty Father that we, the human spirits wandering in the World of Matter for schooling must keep our intuitive perceptive ability or our inner lamp alive and bright so that by using it wisely, we can become a connecting link between the Ethereal and Gross Material Earthly parts by letting the ever refreshing and furthering spiritual current flow alternatively downwards and upwards in a harmonious reciprocal action. Thus, we would have brought the Kingdom of God here on earth.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we must earnestly strive to retain the purity of our spirits. We shall not relax one moment but continually and prayerfully endeavour through constant good volition to open our inner self to currents from the Luminous Heights. These currents or the spiritual power streaming through Creation from our spiritual home are the nourishment our spirits need to grow into the necessary consciousness which makes us complete human spirits deserving of being a part of the Kingdom of God. As we then unfold our gifts and abilities we could transform this earth into a Paradise - like condition where the will of the Almighty Father rules to the joy and happiness of all the inhabitants.
Unfortunately, before our Lord Jesus Christ ended His ministry on earth, He foresaw that His teachings would not be preserved in its original purity and that He had more to reveal but the people He worked with could not grasp such new knowledge. He then promised to request His Father to allow the coming Spirit of Truth who would bring about the Final Judgement to fulfil that request before he would commence His assignment.
This request was made in the appreciation that there might not be any reasonable improvement in the spiritual development of mankind at the time of the final judgement hence, the work of the Spirit of Truth would then include additional help to mankind. He gives this help in the all embracing knowledge of Creation; the whole distance to be transversed from earth back to the Spiritual Sphere; everything that must be encountered along the way; the dangers that lie in wait and all the helps proferred; a clear understanding of the Laws of Creation which express the Will of the Father. All this knowledge was to be made available to mankind through a medium comprehensible to modern earthman in order to make up for the lapses in our intuitive perceiving.
Furthermore, we still have the possibility to clarify our spirits sufficiently through listening within to hear our inner voice and allow ourselves to be sensitive to things noble and beautiful in order to receive directly from above the knowledge about how we should live aright through the power of the Holy Spirit flowing to all parts of Creation.
Finally, we should open ourselves and request in all humanity to the Father that we may be led to that work of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit which is already on the face of the earth that will bring to our remembrance the teachings of Christ devoid of errors of transmission and errors in comprehension by those who made noble effort to preserve them for posterity.
