A Legacy of Love
Questions & Answers with Saint Germain
excerpts from pages 184-185

"When we live an immoral life, then God, through our conscience, still guides us but we do not hear him as clearly. But for those who live morally, the conscience is very clear and it speaks very loudly. That is God speaking through us to us.

Therefore, your question is most important regarding your ultimate entrance into the eternal, spirit world. The best way to prepare for that is to follow the religion of love. This means, love everyone, unconditionally. Love individuals as you love yourself; treat them as you would treat yourself. In the practice of that kind of love you become the favorite place for Heavenly Father to dwell most fully.

Celebrating Your Own Divinity

You cannot come to the spiritual world and find God here unless you find God on earth, in yourself. If you find him in yourself, speak to him and celebrate your own divinity -  the center of which is him -  when you come here, immediately your heart will know that God lives in you. And you will see him in everyone and in everything. Practice that on earth now. When you look at a flower, you already do this. But now do it on a deeper level. When you look at a flower, try to see God's genius in it - God's beauty, the truth of God, God's love - in its color, its shape, its texture, its fragrance. When you look at a dog or even a bug, a rock or crow or another human being, look for God. Look for God in each one of them. If you will practice that for the balance of your life, then gradually the blindness regarding God's existence as being in everything, everywhere will disappear. And in your latter years you will begin to "see" more and more fully the reality of God's presence in everything, everywhere, at all times! That is the most important thing.

But first, see God in yourself. It begins with gratitude. Gratitude for life. Gratitude for all blessings. And then take the time to commune. Not just to ask him for things. Not just to talk to him in times of need. But truly - as you sit on the porch swing or anywhere and in your mind -  hold his hand and allow him to hold yours. Let him come and embrace you and show you his love. His is a love that transcends physical love, that transcends human love. Let him pour over you and through you with love. Let him emanate from you to others.

Jesus tried to teach this reality when he said, "I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. He who has seen me has seen the Father." He also said, "If you do as I ask of you, I will no longer call you my servants, but my friends." He spoke of a state of equality, meaning that that which he was, you can become. So, if in your mind Jesus is the best example, follow and imitate him.

In any case, God is not restricted by man's concept of him. God can be whatever he wants to be and anywhere at any time that he needs to be, in order to lead one of his children home. In other words, he may be a rock. He may be the music on the radio speaking. He may be the silent voice in the heart. He may be something that you read in a newspaper. God will use every facet of life to reflect himself to us, to show himself to us, and make his presence known. Expand your thinking in this way, realizing again that you are the "church," and that the most important "church" is you..."
