Knowing God is the only virtue that we must acquire
Athens, Greece May 20, 1999.

We have known that since the old time, most of the people who know God begin not to feel interested much in the world anymore, so they can forsake all the temporary comforts of this world. However, we don't have to do that; we can have both. We can also forsake everything because we will not truly feel the need of anything of this world anymore; but, because we are in the modern time, we keep everything as usual for the sake of being simple and carrying on our temporary existence until we go back to our true Home. Because so many gods and goddesses have visited our planet and blessed us with so much spiritual grace, our world has become more civilized, more modernized, and filled with all kinds of comfortable scientific equipment. We should make use of these as the grace of God. To thank God for all these because we feel grateful, we must know who God is. We must thank Hirm personally. We must talk to Hirm. We must listen to what Hes is saying to us in order to continue with this beautiful planet and to serve our brothers and sisters the way Hes wants it.

We all want to believe in God, but sometimes it is difficult because we do not have a direct contact. We do want to be good to our brothers and sisters. We do want to share our wisdom and wealth with everyone, but we just do not have much.

We are here to show you how to achieve the thing that is always the deepest desire in your heart. The prayers, rituals and fasts sometimes bring us a little comfort and a little glimpse of God, but we must do more than that in order to know the complete true Self, which is the quality of the gods and goddesses. To do more does not mean that we forsake our work, forget our families, and don't eat and sleep and all kinds of asceticism. No, we carry on with our life! We just save a little time to communicate with the Divine. And, the more we communicate with the Divine, the more time we have because we will need less of every other thing - less sleep, even less food, less of everything that before we thought was so necessary to us. The body is nourished not only by food but also by spiritual grace. Otherwise, why is it that a person who dies cannot move anymore, cannot talk anymore, cannot think anymore? His whole body, the brain, everything is intact; why is he motionless? In the person who is dead, the soul, his divine Self, has left this physical instrument and has gone elsewhere. So that divine Self, that true Person, must be fed and taken care of in order for this body meanwhile also to function perfectly.

If we practice a spiritual meditation or contemplation, true spiritual prayer, that means we also take care of the body - we water the plant from the root and not from the leaves. That's the principle of the universe: ...seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. [Matt 6:33, KJV] Lo, the kingdom of God is not far; the kingdom of God is at hand. It is very near, within you, and is there every second. If the kingdom of God is at hand, we can see it. I can assure you that we can.

If I can, and all of our people, thousands and thousands of people, already can, I am sure you can, and I can prove it to you immediately the moment you want it. When we have time for each other, you will see it right away. You might see the whole kingdom in one second; you might see a little bit, it depends on you. Nevertheless, you will see something so that you can be assured that after we die, we are not going to hell. Life exists forever and ever, and there is truly heaven awaiting us.

In the Bible, a saint has said that he dies daily. [St. Paul, 1 Cor 15:31 KJV] Why should he die daily? And it is said, Forsake the flesh for the spirit so that you will begin to live. What does that mean? They both mean the same. We can die while living - visit heaven, come back again and continue our duty, and then go back to heaven and come back again, just as if we own the two worlds. Today, after the lecture I will remind you, if you want, and every day you can do the same. It's as simple as taking the glasses off your face, and that is why many of us don't know. We think heaven is something very difficult to attain and that we must punish ourselves for our sins; we must fast for many months, we must do this, that and the other. Why should we do all these? We are God. Every scripture said that at least we are the children of God.

If the prince is the son of the king, does he have to do any penance and suffering in order to be a prince? He is already a prince. The reason we suffer is we forget that we are princes and we let the servant, which is the wickedness, the negativity of this world, torture us. I am here to remind you, to help bring you back to the protection, and help you to remember that you are God. It's not by saying this that you will remember; it is by the invisible awakening of your own God power within yourselves at the time of so-called initiation that you will know that you are the children of God.

In this world, everything needs confirmation, a physical certificate or diploma, in order for us to know who we are. In the Kingdom of God, we have invisible diplomas and invisible education so that we can know who we are. And that, you will learn today, and then you learn it every day until you graduate. It doesn't take long to see God; it just takes long to become reacquainted with our own true Self again. We are so used to these physical bodies, this physical world, and the thinking of this world, that it takes a little while for us to truly assimilate the teachings of heaven. Otherwise, it takes only seconds to know God, and every day you can know God again and again, until you truly remember. This thing cannot be achieved by listening, by seeing or reading. It has to be achieved quietly, all by yourself. Your Wisdom will be reopened and you will recognize your Self, which is God. But of course, I have to say something so you will be introduced to this Way of heaven again.

In case you have any more questions, I will be willing to answer before you decide whether you want to remember your great Self or not. Thank you very much for your attention and God bless you.
