...m of God cannot be realized on the physical plane before being realized in the intellect, in our thoughts. Once realized in our thoughts, it will descend into the heart, into our feelings, at which point it can finally be expressed by deeds. Fo...
..., ‘Hallowed be thy name.' A blessing is linked to the realm of thought. It is primarily in our thoughts that we must bless God's name. A name represents, condenses and contains the entity that bears it, so when we pronounce the name of God, we ...
When asked what God is, a sage answers with silence, for only silence can express the essence of the Divine. Yes, saying what God is does not suffice, nor does saying what He is not. To say that God is love, wisdom, power and justice is true, but ...
Jesus said, ‘My Father is working and I also am working with Him.' But should Jesus be the only one who works with his heavenly Father? No. You too can take part in this work so that the kingdom of God may come on earth. It should not matter to you ...
There was once a young man who was searching for a master to teach him how to find God. He walked through the forest until one day he came across an old hermit's cave. He told the hermit he wanted to become his disciple, and the hermit agreed to ...
You will discover the meaning of life only when you decide to work for the coming of the kingdom of God and his righteousness. For then, whatever happens, you know that you are a worker in the vineyard of the Lord, and you feel fulfilled, happy and ...
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 ...

‘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 ...
