Problems concerning longing for the Divine Love?
How do you long - and what is our longing?
Jesus tells us in the Padgett Messages that we can long for the Divine Love. And then leaves it up to us to work out how we are to long.
Some people long for the Divine Love and feel it easily flowing into them; other people long and long, and for the life of them they can’t detect or feel or know if they’ve received any Divine Love. And some people get a little bit - sometimes... then a bit more - sometimes.
Some people might become disheartened if they don’t feel the Love flowing into their soul in answer to their sincere longing, especially after hearing others peoples experiences of it even pouring into their soul.
It’s said it’s a mind verses heart thing, if you ask with your mind you won’t receive the Love, and we have long with our heart. We can’t long with our mind. But we can long with our feelings. If you feel you really want the Divine Love in your soul, wanting to become at-one with God, wanting your soul to transformed into the divine essence of God, then with that desire and yearning, that is your longing.
Some people like to stop what they are doing and sit quietly each day at a regular time - or when they feel so inspired, and long for the Love. Other people like to do it on the go. It’s whatever suits you the best. There is only your way of longing, and it’s for you to find what’s easiest for you. There is no correct way to do it - there is ONLY: your way.
If you’re having problems with longing and don’t know if you are doing it properly or are receiving any Love, then consider beginning - if you’ve not done so already - your soul-healing. Start to identify your worries, fears, anxiety - any bad feelings you might have about it: you not being good enough, you being a bad person, fear of failing, scared of God not loving you - rejecting you, scared of not being able to do it; and start to express such feelings, longing - there’s that word again - to uncover the truth of them. If you have any blocks your healing will break them down, expose them, and help move your controlling mind out of the way so your feelings come more to the fore.
As you know we’ve all got different spiritual paths to grow truth. So it might not be for you to immediately start receiving the Divine Love, there might be other things for you to do first. You might even have to do your WHOLE healing, which could take years to do, before you feel the Divine Love actually coming into your soul. And through all those healing years you might keep longing, still never feeling you are receiving the Love, but still wanting to be with God and wanting to know and feel God loves you. You might have to do your feeling-healing first, that being your healing without the Divine Love, because there are things for you to see about yourself, your relationship with your family and parents, other people, nature, humanity’s evilness, even God, before you include the Divine Love actively in your soul.
And also bear in mind, that just because you don’t actually feel it moving into your soul, that doesn’t necessarily mean you might not be receiving it. It might be coming into you very subtly and in relatively small amounts - you’re just not aware of it yet, your soul-perceptions and truth needing to evolve a little more. Or you might experience one good blast of it, and that does you for years before you become aware of receiving any more.
But the most important part of it all is that if you feel bad in any way about not receiving it (or even receiving it), then look to fully embrace and express and seek the truth of those bad feelings. You soul can’t actually be transformed by the Divine Love UNTIL you’ve healed yourself, until you’ve purified or perfected some of your natural love through your healing for the Divine Love to transform. The Divine Love CAN ONLY transform perfect natural love. So whilst you’re in your imperfect feeling-denying state of mind and will, you have nothing within you the Divine Love can transform. So all you are doing is accumulating the Love for the day when you are true.
So even if are aware of the Love coming into you, but are as yet to begin your healing, then you will still be preventing the Divine Love from acting upon your natural love soul because you have not healed (or are not working on healing) yourself by doing your feeling- or soul-healing.
It’s actually more important to do your healing than partake of the Divine Love, because if you’re not fully healed, if you’re not living true to all your feelings and living in a state of perfect natural love, then the Divine Love can’t transform your soul in any way.
And if you are partaking of the Divine Love but are not actively doing your feeling- or soul-healing, then you are only using the Divine Love to further your negative state, to further your evilness, to become ever more untrue than you already are.
And contrary to the impression one gains from reading the Padgett Messages, receiving the Divine Love is NOT going to magically heal all your sin and error - your rebellious mind and untruth. We have to work at healing ourselves by doing our feeling- or soul-healing, by ending our feeling-denial and looking to our feelings to show us the way rather than relying on our mind.
If you are partaking of the Divine Love and feeling worse and worse, feeling like you’re falling down a hole into a dark lonely miserable angry bad feeling state, then this is good, for it means your soul is pressing you to begin your healing. We are not meant to partake of the Divine Love and start to feel gloriously happy whilst we’re still evil, we are meant to feel bad so we can liberate all our repressed childhood feelings so as to see why we are not happy. If you partake of the Divine Love and yet feel good and always only good, and have not as yet ventured into your healing, then I’d seriously start to question whether or not such happiness was real or just based on fantasy.
The Divine Love is that which transforms our perfect natural love into being of the essence of God, it is NOT meant to be used as a prop or comforter, or something that will make you feel good by taking away all your bad feelings, pain and suffering. It is only through our healing and revealing the truth of our bad feelings, pain and suffering that we can make ourselves feel truly happy and loved. It is the truth of ourselves that comes from our feelings that will give us the true comfort we seek. And when we feel true, then we can feel truly loved and then can we truly love.
You might know you are with your soul-mate but wonder why you are not feeling gloriously happy and in love all the time (as you shouldn’t be if you’re living evilly denying many of your bad feelings). And if you are both striving to live true to yourselves through your feelings - doing your healing, then you will be focused on feeling as unloved as your parents made you feel, so you won’t feel love from or for your partner as that would only get in the way and prevent you from feeling as bad as you need to feel so as to uncover the truth of your childhood repression. So your relationship with your soul-mate or partner might be one of a working arrangement letting all the love stuff go, whilst you both support and encourage each other expressing all your yuk. It will be something of a very different friendship, different no doubt from what you might be used to and expect, however by committing yourself to your healing you are no longer going to be living a ‘normal’ life, so nothing in it will be as you might expect. And when you are fully healed, then if you are still to be together, then the love will come because you will now have the foundation of truth within you to support it. No truth; no love. It’s not the other way around. Our parents didn’t allow us to develop naturally the truth foundation we need to express love and feel fully and truly loved, so that’s what you’re doing for yourself through your healing - developing that foundation. And if you and your partner are no longer meant to be together once you’ve complete your healing, or any time during it, then you will know it’s time to move on.
And when we’ve completely healed ourselves, being of perfect natural love, then with the Divine Love acting upon our soul, as we truly love ourselves, so too can we truly love God. And then you will feel truly loved by God. Whilst we’re living in our negative or rebellious mind controlled states, we can’t truly love or feel truly loved, and the Divine Love is not going to override such feelings. And all the so-called love you feel whilst you’re evil is merely feelings of love coming from or being made by the influence of your mind - it’s not real and true love. Many people believe and so contrive they feel loved and are more loving because of partaking of the Divine Love - yet it’s all a fantasy based on the belief that they should be more loving having received some Divine Love into their soul; and their healing, healing themselves of how unloved they really do feel, awaits them.
So it’s not the way you think it should be. By rights it’s natural to presume and expect to feel really good because you are receiving God’s Love into you, and that will happen when you are fully healed, but in the meantime you might feel good for a time (some people seeming to be able to feel good for twenty years or more), but really should question those good feelings because you’re still in a love- and truth-denying state of mind. I felt good for two years buoyed up by the Divine Love and all the light from spirit coming into me, but then I crashed, and since then through my healing I have come to understand that I’d contrived most of those good loving feelings. Some of them were real and true, as I felt loved whilst I was being loved by the Mother and Father as I received Their Love, but very soon afterwards I’d start to feel my usual down feelings and learnt from Marion that I wasn’t to dismiss them as I’d always done, but to instead go with and into them, express them, and seek the truth they were trying to show me.
Ordinarily we would have to first heal ourselves and perfect our natural love before we could partake of the Divine Love. However with Jesus and Mary’s coming to Earth before humanity had healed its evilness, has meant the Divine Love has been made available to us ahead of time. So we can now partake of it, but we still have to do our healing.
