Divine principle - how to manifest the birth of the Divine principle in us

12/25/2004

The goal of the spiritual life is to give birth within us to the divine Principle, to the Christ. This is a long and difficult work but, as soon the birth of the Christ takes place, it is unmistakable. As if heaven opened before us, a presence is revealed to us that supports, enlightens and protects us, and that brings us great joy. Even in the most terrible circumstances when we are the most discouraged, we feel that in spite of everything, we are helped. Yes, we have the sensation of a presence, of a flame that will never be extinguished. Even if we have no need of its intervention, we sense that it is always present, always at our disposal; and when we need it, it gives us all its light and warmth.
