Q.47

Because out of your desire to protect and promote your own personal good come all your selfish thoughts, words and actions. (L2)

You will probably ask “Why should I have to worry about these? If what you say is true, that there is no punishment, that ‘God’ sees not our evil ⎯then why should we be concerned about the way we behave?” (L2)

As I have explained, you draw your LIFE from the ‘Father’, therefore, you draw your capacity to think and love from the ‘Father’. (L2)

Even as ‘Father Intelligence’ is creative, so is your consciousness creative. With your minds and hearts you actually form the plans of your own lives and experiences. (L2)

And what kind of lives do you plan and form in your minds? If someone annoys or hurts you, you retaliate in some way or another, you believe that if your eye is taken, you must expect the adversary’s eye in return. (L2)

You believe that whoever kills should be killed as punishment and compensation, you believe that whoever robs you should pay the price, that whoever steals your wife, should be stoned along with your wife. (L2)

You believe in the extraction of payment for every evil thing that comes your way. (L2)

Since it is human nature to hurt others, and you have been taught to retaliate, your lives are a continual scene of warfare, warfare in the home amongst husbands, wives, children, and neighbours, and public figures and between nations. (L2)

Your ‘Father’ knows nothing of this warfare in your lives, but knows the stress in your minds and bodies arising from this warfare but can do nothing ⎯ nothing to ease your pain ⎯ until you yourselves stop the warfare. (L2)

You yourselves must cease your fighting and live in peace with your family, neighbours, employers, public figures and other countries. (L2)

‘Only then, can the ‘Father’ LOVE WORK take place in your minds, hearts, bodies, and lives. (L2)

‘Only then will you be able to recognise and see the Love Work being done in you ⎯ and for you by the ‘Father’. (L2)
