« Many beings believe more willingly in the power of the evil one than in the divine power. Man is so far from heaven that he prefers to admit the notion of the supermundane in evil rather than in good. »
« The world we live in cannot be understood on its own. There is a radical incompleteness: without the intervention of spirits, gods or God, there is no coherent explanation of the world that holds. It is therefore necessary to appeal to another level of reality of which we know almost nothing… except that it must necessarily exist. »
The question is not "Does God exist?" He exists.
but rather "Why doesn't He help us? Why doesn't He manifest Himself? Why doesn't He intervene??"
When a father teaches his child to walk, when he wants him to come to him, he stretches out his arms; but without ever touching him, and moves backwards as he advances..
And if the child falls, cries, calls... the father does not move, but encourages him with small signs.
« The king was seated at the very end of the aisle. His soldiers, armed to the teeth, were waiting for one of us to move for pierce him with their arrows. Yet we knew the king to be good and we could even make out a pleasant smile on his face. Suddenly one of those who was there in the crowd rushed into the alley, and crossed the soldiers of the guard. Not one however moved and he found himself in front of the pedestal. The king left his throne and rushed towards him: «My son, at last you are here! The king wept and the one he called his son too.
God ardently wishes that we go through the trials of life, which are like in this story only wooden puppets only intended to ordeal us. How many of these obstacles are the fruit of our own imagination? »
Yes, his creatures are myriad, and yet he is unaware of none of them.
Can a single place on the body be pricked without the brain being informed?
Where is He ?
When in despair, I called on God, I looked up, believing him in the heavens, or around me. But I couldn't see anything, I couldn't even imagine it; He was nowhere...
Now I understood why: in fact, he is in me. Or I am in Him. That is why I cannot see Him, nor can He manifest Himself to me in any way other than through signs.
MAN DOES NOT FIND GOD -
FOR HE IS ONE WITH HIM.

Our inner being
« In you there are two characters, one terrestrial, stuck to matter, mired in its heaviness, and the other celestial, letting itself be carried by the light. The moment you conceive your two poles, you become greedy for unity and begin your quest for purity. But that's also where the trouble begins! In the innocence of unconsciousness you found a certain tranquility, operating in the same patterns for generations, fit to taste the pleasures of the flesh.
However, as soon as your consciousness opens to greater lucidity, your thirst for clarity comes up against the shadows.
In the grip of an existential despair, your mind then plays monumental tricks on you. You become the prey of grief, terrible doubts, loneliness and your impatience.
We are with you more than ever in these wanderings. Because then we recognize in you the flame, the inner fire.
Then begins an interior dialogue between your soul, which has already recognized us, and us who are your servants, your companions on the way. At your side, ready to support you in the difficult passages, smiling at your stammerings as a child of light.
In your heart of hearts, ego of earth and soul of light manifest themselves to each other and show themselves in turn. There is no point in adjusting them with a master's hand, there is no point in wishing for their fruitful friendship. Their role is not to oust each other. Thus you grow, by making in you the union of your part of incarnated man and your part of brilliance of light. It is there, in the balanced axis between these two aspects of yourself, that you touch that you touch the new dimension that allows you to Over-Live (among earthly torments). Then your personality of light irrigates your being incarnated in matter for a happy birth: that of the new Man in you, an incarnated reflection of the Father Creator. »

The ultimate goal
_ _
The goal of existence is to pass from the navel-gazing stage to self-abstraction. We understand that one lifetime is not enough.
« Every soul must become aware of itself little by little.
In evolution, the mineral will become vegetable, the vegetable will become animal and the animal will become human. It is the long chain of life. »
(Hélène Bouvier, medium, "Mission of souls in the afterlife")
« The purpose of our life during our passage on Earth, then after our death, in the various worlds of the beyond, is an increasingly complete realization of our being. »
« The soul-personality must become aware of itself. In reality, there is no other reason for the human presence on earth. All circumstances, all emotions, all experiences are aimed at this one end.
Follow Jesus' advice: "Seek first the kingdom of God (in other words, progress towards knowledge) and everything else will be added to you." »
- And what is according to your views, the purpose of our life?
« Amassing experiences. Man asks more of life than food and food. Some consider themselves satisfied when they have ensured their external well-being; but most yearn for something more. Behind their actions and gestures, there is an ideal. »
(Henry Ford)

« At the beginning, the germ of the soul is already no bigger than a seed. But it is a spark of Divine Essence.
By its essential nature, it is immortal and indestructible. But just as a seed must be planted in the darkness of decaying soil for it to sprout, so the germinating soul must be planted in matter. »
« A being is never born for nothing, no existence is vain or free. The souls that inhabit our bodies did not come down to have a good time. We each have a role to play, a mission to accomplish, which is not known to us from the outset.
Every existence is precious, every moment is capital. »
following..., one cannot understand that the silence of Heaven is the very foundation of our ordeal here below. If the reason were revealed to us, ordeal would immediately lose its meaning. Doubt and silence are necessary to reveal ourselves to ourselves.

The little seed aspires to become a flower or a tree.
Then the gardener digs the earth, places it in it, fills it in, and waits.
In its night, , the heat, the pod softens and rots. When it cracks, the little seed thinks it's dying and panics, and curses the gardener who buried her there and won't help her.
But one day it will discover the light, and the gardener will smile at the pretty shoot that points to the sun.
« The problem is that people no longer believe in God. They only believe in themselves, so they do their little will, and of course, it doesn't work, or not for long. So they say that life is bad, and stay in their corner. So there, you know, God does not insist. He knows how to push the door if you leave it open, or even a little ajar, or even closed and He sees light coming through below. But if you close your heart and stay in the dark, well, he won't force the lock. Because it leaves man free to choose. »
(F. Caragnon, "Jade and the Sacred Mysteries of Life")
- Why don't you reveal yourself to everyone? « God does not reveal himself through outward observation, but through inner experience. And when inner experience has revealed Divinity, outer observation is not necessary. If outer observation is necessary, inner experience is not possible. If one needs revelation, one cannot receive it. »
[ After a long meditation and a call to God ] « I had not touched God, but a god who allows himself to be touched is no longer a god. Nor if he obeys prayer. And for the first time I guessed that the greatness of the prayer resides first of all in the fact that it is not answered, and that the ugliness of a commerce does not enter into this exchange. And that the learning of prayer is the learning of silence. And that love begins only where there is no longer a gift to be expected.
(...) You will receive no sign. The stones know nothing of the temple they make up and cannot know anything about it. Nor you of God. For the temple would have to appear to the stone, which has no meaning because there is no language for the stone in which to receive it. »
« God's affinity with my soul manifests itself in an ineffable hazy caress when I approach him. I think, I feel him close to me; I create, I feel it closer; I love, I feel him closer; I dedicate myself, I feel him even closer. »

« Like a blind man in winter who searches for fire with his palms. And he finds it. And he lays down his staff and sits down near it, his legs crossed. Although he knows nothing of fire, the way you know something, you who see. He has found the truth of his body, for you will observe him who will no longer change places.
(...) The blind man, Lord, knows nothing of fire. But he is, from fire, lines of force sensitive to the palms. And he walks through the brambles, because any moult is painful. Lord, I go to You, according to your grace, along the slope that makes becoming.
(...) That is why I walk, forming prayers which are not answered, and having for guide, so blind I am, only a weak heat on my withered palms. »
« She [Mother Teresa] exhorts us to love people who suffer from loneliness and who are in our families, on our path. She will often say that the greatest poverty is in the West, because it is spiritual.
Nevertheless, Mother Teresa will have lived 50 years(!) a night of faith which manifested itself by the feeling of the loss of God, the aridity in prayer, the spiritual dryness (she sought God, and He did not answer her. She will have to act as if He did not exist). She will thus be in solidarity with her century marked by unbelief. She thus quenched his thirst of Jesus by sharing a little of his agony and his cry on the cross. "I thirst": "I thirst". »
« Sometimes I want to tidy up the drawers that are in my head. Sort, keep only the essentials, make a little more room for God.
I would like He gives me a hard time, to abandon me to myself, to pretend not to exist, and then at the last moment, at the worst moment, for him to come whisper in my ear: "Don't worry, Jade, I'm here! It was just to see if you really loved me..." »
(F. Caragnon, "Jade and the Sacred Mysteries of Life")
Why this silence?
« The cement is Love, but there is no Love without freedom.
True love is free; free to reject God and do evil, free to approach him. God then, to probe the soul, will send him no sign, no help. On the contrary, sometimes! »

« God sometimes, said the Baal-Shem, seems so far from man. Because it's the role of the father to teach his son to walk. To do this, he advances or retreats a few steps, even if it means that the child stumbles and falls. »
- How to arouse interest in man? If I approached you, I would arrest you. -
But I'm backing down. You don't even notice it
And so you learn to walk on air.
- Why aren't we rewarded when we do something good?
If you are punished when you do wrong and rewarded when you do right, you would be a well-trained animal. Certainly not a free man.
**
Why doesn't God punish the bad?
_ _
In the texts, three reasons are invoked. The first is that there can be no sincere action without free will. The second is that if a person does evil, his conscience is not yet awakened. Also, a punishment would be useless because she would not understand, and that would make her even more bitter « The law of karma is not necessarily chronological. It can "jump" several lives before finding the same circumstances, at a time when the entity is ready to assume them. »[une lecture d’Edgar Cayce] .
Finally, for the victim or victims, being confronted with evil a person can do, is an ordeal that is worth another, and thus a lesson.
**
« It is up to man to form himself. It's a very long process. As it is useless to sow on a sterile ground, we prefer to wait until the circumstances lend themselves to it, loosen the ground. Meanwhile, the bad man can do a lot of damage. It is for others a ordeal, one of those which reinforces or demolishes.
It is up to you to defend yourself or to cash in according to your inner strength. We only help those who in perdition call us. »
- Why not immediately punish those who do wrong? - The celestial guides are patient as one can be with children. They expect those who do evil to grow up and come to understand the consequences of their act (what you have not understood and assimilated will be offered to you until you ask yourself the real and good questions).
Violence leads to violence. We must move towards more tolerance, even if it is difficult to accept the cruelty of certain humans. For many souls, having to bear to live with evil beings who flout love is a collective ordeal which awakens the desire to transform the vibrations and the atmosphere of this Earth. The intolerance (towards evil) , in this sense, can be a virtue, because "who does not say a word consents". But wisdom must be dominant to defeat darkness. She must dress in justice and love, otherwise there is chaos.
Life on earth is an endless struggle. The baby who cries at birth knows this. Your sentimentality is a weakness in this cynical world. Denying evil will keep you from opposing it. »
« True criminals, those who live to defy the basic laws of the species, those who spread hatred and thrive on the suffering of others can expect no freedom here until they accept the law of reciprocity: "What I have done, I accept to endure in return." »
From the moment a man turns to the good, his difficulties begin. For what ?
They say He tests those He loves!
**
Why do we say that God only makes those he loves suffer?
Because we only ask the one who is ready. If you are entrusted with a simple-minded and an intelligent child, which one will you push towards studies? Which will you prevent from falling asleep?
Who asks the wretch who has nothing?
but we shake the fig tree,
because we expect fruit from it.
« Suffering, trials are necessary for knowledge. They inevitably hit the best who are the most vulnerable. »
(Marcel Belline, 'The Third Ear')Contributions by Belline on the subject of:: LIFE or DEATH
« As soon as one embarks on the spiritual path, trials and obstacles accumulate.
One who advances spiritually must sometimes endure the abandonment of all earthly support: relatives, friends, situation, and the apparent abandonment of spiritual forces. These hardships are intended to probe the degree of resistance to passional or material attractions.He who has not been tested, what does he know? (Ecclesiastes 34-9) » »
(Hélène Bouvier, medium, "Mission of souls in the afterlife")
« When morality supersedes short-term interest, a step is taken in personal evolution. But beware, the conviction must be unshakeable. If you are unsure of yourself, suffer as needed. The truth has many facets.
(...) The consequences of goodwill can turn out to be harmful, at first sight. Don't let this stop you, you are building yourself through the work. »
« God and the Devil are inseparable on Earth. And the more one dreads the second, the more one must rely on the first; the more one loves the first, the more one must fear the attacks of the second. »
« I have discovered that those who give a lot of themselves, must especially preserve themselves and keep faith in life, because negative entities often take pleasure in sowing discord in any constructive work. »
When we are unhappy, when we are in pain, we need to understand why.
But what if God does not manifest himself? that he lets evil happen and does not answer our prayers...
We reject it! Him and his laws – different depending on the man to whom He would have confided.
Well. But then... who or what to turn to?

« Faith comes in its time and the will of man can do nothing about it.
(...) God is the most abstract notion there is. No voluntary step, no effort of the intellect, no prayer, can make you love God if in you the desire for God does not exist. »
Only an open-mindedness allows us to rise above the ego. We then realize that Life goes beyond our brief existence, and that everything has a meaning, including our suffering.
It is with this understanding that faith comes, and it reconciles with life.
« Faith is your spiritual compass. »
« In order to light the candelabra of the eternal flame, there was only pure oil left for one day. Judas Maccabeus could have decided to wait eight days or take ordinary oil, which was possible. However, he decided to light the candelabra from the first day and God made it remain lit during the eight days of the production of the new oil.
This is what we celebrate at Hanukkah: take one step towards God, he will do the rest. Begins to climb the mountain, it becomes plain. Let a little light escape from your heart, it will dispel the thickest darkness. »

« Man must choose God. Ready-made solutions only serve to give a clear conscience to those who like to sleep and live in peace; so as not to hunt down the truth, one pretends to have found it.

« Having learned that disbelievers were demanding proof of the existence of God, the Baal-Shem Tov rushed to the synagogue, opened the holy ark, seized the Torah scrolls (divine teaching transmitted by Moses) and exclaimed, " I swear there is a God, isn't that proof enough? What more do they need?" »
« You have a habit, when you doubt God, of wishing that God would show himself. And who would you meet then, if not your equal and similar to you? And how would you prove such vulgarity? You want something to come down to you, to visit you on your floor.
(...) Only revelation and the appearance of archangels could make this happen. Which is bad puppet, because if God looks like me to show himself to me he is not God, and if he is God, my mind can read it but not my senses. And if it is my mind to read it, I will only recognize it by its impact on me, as is the beauty of the temple. »
« Believers have had personal experiences but it is difficult to put them forward as proof. They will only convince those whose hearts are already awakened by an inner movement. How to prove what is exclusively psychic? »
One day, while walking, I stopped in front of a strange composition on the side of the path: three stones in a triangle and in the center, a feather planted in the ground. “Who could have arranged them like this? and why ? In any case, it's not the wind, nor an animal,” I said to myself as I walked away.
Further on, I stopped, struck by something obvious: "If chance cannot line up three stones and a feather, how can we believe that it could have created the Universe and life!"
