God & the Divine

• Letting go of book knowledgeBern seminars · April 1992

  Books offer only second-hand knowledge. Surrender a pressing question to the Divine Mother and the answer comes, often through a person, a book, or a sudden inner knowing.

• Why should we identify with the Divine?Bern seminars · April 1992

  Identify every sense, every act and your very energy with God, and you become a vehicle for His grace, free of the ego that would misuse such power.

• Love and positivityBern seminars · April 1992

  When someone's faults annoy you, ask whether you were once the same. Begin the day with love, fill it with love, and end it with love, treating all of life as sacred.

• The conciousness of a masterBern seminars · April 1992

  What we carry between lives is not memory but the Karmic Akashic record held in the ether. A master plugs into that universal consciousness, yet remains human and refuses to play God.

• The nature of God is in the elementsBern seminars · April 1992

  God cannot be shut away on a throne in heaven. The mountains, rivers, planets and every living cell are His very nature, and that same Maha Shakti is alive within you.

• What is spirituality?Bern seminars · April 1992

  Spirituality is not a cage or a long face but being fully involved in life, taking the Divine everywhere with you and leaving something good for the generations to come.

• Forget your limitationsBern seminars · April 1992

  The only limits within you are the ones you have placed there. With patience and a power of perception few people use, you can sense far more than your eyes show.

• How different vibrations affect usBern seminars · April 1992

  We pick up vibrations from everyone we meet, and they show in our aura. How bathing, loose clothes and a private space prepare you to meet the Divine in meditation.

• How can contemplation change emotional patterns?Bern seminars · September 1991

  Ten quiet minutes a day spent looking at your own behaviour lets you master your emotions instead of being mastered by them, and steer your ship to calmer waters.

• If we are created from love how can we commit evil acts?Bern seminars · September 1991

  Cruel acts come from letting our lower, impulsive nature override the intellect. Rather than judging others, help them along, and gather often to ease loneliness.

• We are always connectedBern seminars · September 1991

  Only the body separates us; the paramatma links us as one. Call on the divinity within and it answers, even after a teacher's physical form is gone.

• What is Maha Shakti?Bern seminars · September 1991

  The Divine Mother is Maha Shakti, the universal energy in mountains, rivers and stars and in every changing cell. Prepare yourself like a lotus and that grace can come to you.

• Form & formlessnessKiental seminars · May 1990

  Why it is easier to begin with the form of God before reaching for the formless, and how every faith rests on the same truth and love.
