128. The Dead Rituals and Dogmas Are the Biggest Obstacles to Your Relationship with the Father

The path of my human living chosen by me two thousand years ago corresponded to the-then conditions and I got adapted to them. The present day conditions are very different from the point of view of the material development and the means of communication. However, your present conditions are much more difficult to your spiritual growth than those of my times. During the term of my incarnation I had to struggle against the-then predominant most progressive Jewish religion that had enslaved all the Jewry even beyond the boundaries of Palestine with its dead rituals-superstitions and dogmas. 

It is extremely difficult to conquer rituals-superstitions. However, it was easier to overcome them at that time than it is now. Today you have the rituals-superstitions and dogmas of many religions rather than of some one religion. And each of them is keeping you as the real spiritual slaves in its own slavery, and holding you so strongly that you do not dare to deliver yourselves from them. And you do not dare to do it because you do not know what is one‘s belief without the rituals rather than because you were pleased with them. Neither anybody either at home, at school, or in church explains to you about applying such a belief without the rituals-superstitions in your daily life. Therefore, while even believing in God you continue to keep up only to the dead rituals-superstitions and to profess dogmas without a living experience with the Father. It is this live experience with the Father that is faith. And it is this in particular that all the world is lacking. There are many religions but there is no faith in them. Therefore, you cannot experience the Father. You cannot feel His real presence around and even most importantly within your own selves. You feel the lack of the Father‘s love within your own selves. And it shows that you are still orphans even in the presence of the living Father.      

You comfort yourselves with the fact that you do believe for you do attend the service in church. Those who are leading the service in church are also the orphans of the Living Father for they are leading the service by merely performing the dead ritual yet having no live relationship with the Father. Therefore neither do they pray out of the spirit nor do allow you to feel a spiritual bond with the Father during the service for it is the performance of the dead ritual that impedes the establishment of such a live relationship with the Father as well as among all of you. And in order the believers who have come would not yet run away their attention is being distracted from a live communion with the Father by the colorful attire of the clergymen-priests that is ever being changed depending upon the ritualistic holidays. Rituals are not only visual but also audio as well as in the form of scents. There is a different ringing of bells, the application of incenses, kneeling down and standing up, the moving of priests from one place to another. All this has no relation whatever either with the Father or with me since both the Father and I are speaking only thru your opened up soul rather than thru the material actions performed by you and seen by your eyes when your soul is not yet awakened.    

All this is absolutely unrelated to your living faith relationship with the Father that must proceed thru the opening up of your soul to the Father and thru your live communion with Him while worshipping Him as your opened up soul itself is speaking by its live vibration directed to both the Father and its brethren that are present in the church, synagogue, mosque, or in the nature wherever this live worship of the Father might be taking place in, as well as to those brethren who are not present at the worship in this place but who live and work in other places, in other lands, on other worlds, and even on the higher worlds that you still shall get to after your resurrection. And in a similar way the love vibration of your opened up souls must also be directed to all the creation for not a single love flicker disappears throughout eternity. It only enlightens the creation.   

And it is only when such a live opening up of your soul, to its very depth, is present that you shall begin to experience, within your own selves, a live relationship with the Father and shall feel a creative power, energy, of a living faith within your own selves. And after this type of the prayer service you shall never walk out in anxiety or sad. You shall always be sensing that you have been filled up with such a love and peace of the Father that you shall be sharing it with others. You shall not have to wish peace to each other for all of you shall be full of it, and the vibrations of the Father‘s love you shall be radiating to all for during the service you shall also be feeling the Father‘s love ever stronger.
