Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God and His justice because the kingdom of God has its own special justice, which is different from that of earth. On earth, someone only has to lodge a complaint, often for something quite trivial (someone has ...
Good is not yet God himself; it is a manifestation of God, but it is not God. God is above good and evil, and we cannot know who He is. But since good is a manifestation of God, thinking of good links us to Him: our consciousness shifts, it leaves ...
To find God, the first condition is to love him. Not that God needs our love. If the great masters of all religions have taught people to love God, it is because they knew the magic law of correspondence between the spiritual plane and phenomena we ...

All those who do not work for the kingdom of God will always be hungry, thirsty, vulnerable and careworn. Why? Because they receive no wages, symbolically speaking. But those who serve heaven and work for the kingdom of God receive a marvellous ...
A great many people expend all their energy defending this or that insignificant cause – which, as often as not, they soon abandon in favour of something else. But how many do you know who devote their energies to a truly noble idea such as the ...
As soon as a new need manifests itself in society, there is always someone who is ready to satisfy that need by giving people what they ask for. The evolution of humankind is thus determined by its needs. Necessity is the mother of invention, they ...
Each seed receives the elements it needs from the tree that produced it so that once planted, it is able to grow and become a tree like its parent. In appearance, the seed is different from the tree but on a more subtle plane, the image of the tree ...
In Hebrew, God's name is made up of four letters: Yod He Vav He יהוה. These four letters correspond to the four principles within a human being: Yod, the spirit; He, the soul; Vav, the intellect; and the second He, the heart. But for these four ...
Many people think that they are justified in leading a mediocre life on the pretext that they have no special gifts or qualities and no position in society. No, this is not a valid excuse. Even the poorest of the poor are capable of reaching a ...
Does God exist, or not? The answer is really very simple. To the non-believer, it is true that God does not exist. For whether things exist or not depends on us. Take a man who is asleep: even if all the world's treasures are heaped around him, as ...
Many of people's conceptions about the Lord need to be reconsidered. The notion of a God who is angry with his people, or of an old man with a long beard busy recording their good and bad deeds and punishing their faults, was perhaps acceptable at ...
When Jesus came, he taught humans that God was their father, no longer putting the emphasis exclusively on the notion of justice and severity, as Moses had done, but on that of love, kindness and forgiveness. God was no longer portrayed as the ...
Once upon a time, a man who wanted to be rich made a pact with the devil. ‘Very well' said the devil, ‘I will bring you money, but you must give me something in return.' ‘What would that be?' asked the man. ‘Every time I bring you money, you must ...
In the Book of Exodus it is written that when God entrusted Moses with the mission of freeing the Hebrews from the Egyptian yoke, Moses replied: ‘If I come to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,” and they ...
...e but one aim, one goal in life. Whatever your duties and responsibilities, all your concerns, thoughts, desires, and even the movements of your cells must be directed towards a single end: the kingdom of God and His Justice. When you do this, ...
‘When God drew a circle on the face of the deep, I was there', says Wisdom, in the Book of Proverbs. What is this circle?* It is the boundary drawn by God himself in order to create the world. So in this sense we can say that to create, God limited ...
Christians recite, ‘In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost'* and they never seem surprised that there is no mention of a feminine principle in this trinity. Yet we cannot help but wonder. When you hear, ‘father and son' – words that ...
...ted by their physical body, their instincts, their desires, their feelings and their thoughts.
However, if they seek to find their inner self through study and meditation, they will discover that, beyond all appearances, this ‘I' they are looki...
Seek the Absolute. Seek that which you can never obtain or achieve, for thanks to this pursuit you will receive something more each day. Of course, you will never obtain everything, but by concentrating on one goal, however inaccessible, in your ...
God never gets that angry with sinners. He says, ‘My son is amazing; what energy, what activity! He does a lot of damage, of course, because he still hasn't learned how to work. He knocks people out but that is his way of making music: the only ...
When you address the Lord, do not imagine that your prayer* reaches Him directly. Here on earth, it is impossible to speak to an important person without going through intermediaries; well all the more so where God is concerned! And yet some people ...
One day, after meditating on the immensity of God, which he was unable to fathom, a disciple asked his Master why God is so great. The Master replied, ‘God is great because he takes care of the smallest things.' This also means that all those who ...
Most people think that praying to God means asking Him for everything they lack. They need clothes, food and a roof over their heads; they want to be safe from illness and danger; they want a husband, a wife, children, and so on. And they ask God to ...
When you make a request to God, you need to know that you will never reach Him directly, and that it is his servants, the angels, who pass on your wishes and your prayers. It may be, however, that these messages do not arrive at their ...
Seek the Kingdom of God, hope for the kingdom of God and nothing else, because the kingdom of God is a state of perfection, of fulfilment comprising everything: health, wealth, beauty, order, freedom, peace, wisdom, love, joy and more. So, instead ...
When God wants to descend into our world, He has to clothe Himself just as we do. And to clothe oneself means to enter into matter. But as God does not want to descend and assume all the restrictions of a physical body in order to meet us, He ...
Human beings seek love, wealth and glory, but what they are really searching for in all this is God, because in reality, nothing and no one can bring them joy or wonder apart from God. Yes, in one form or another, people are always looking for the ...
It is not enough to think of God as our father and ourselves as his children, for this implies a separation, a breach: if God is outside us and we are outside Him, then we are at the mercy of whatever exists in the gap between us; we are outside his ...
