Thought Adjuster: “[[Our Father]] does not impose rules or insist on conditions. You already know that the [[love]] of the Father for His [[creatures]] is unconditional, yet many have asked why certain rules must be [[obeyed]]. [[Freedom]] in [[the universe]] can be enjoyed as long as the rules are followed. Isn’t this an implied condition? Should one do as [[the Father]] says, or suffer the consequences?
“The Father is the [[energy]] that sustains [[the universe]] and He is [[the universe]]. We all live in [[the Father]] and are subjected to His [[influence]]. We all are enlivened with his boundless [[love]]. The only rule is to let this love [[flow]] through us and then let it spread towards our [[brothers and sisters]]. This is not an [[arbitrary]] rule, but simply the way [[the universe]] works.
“Some [[consciously]] or [[unconsciously]] [[resist]] this love by stubbornly following their [[materialistic]] [[impulses]]. When they do this, suffering is unavoidable, because they are preventing themselves from [[receiving]] the [[energy]] – the [[love]] their [[soul]] needs to [[survive]]. Material life also imposes certain ‘rules’ that must be followed in order to live. [[Food]] is [[necessary]] to maintain the [[physical]] body. If you decided to stop eating you would slowly weaken until finally your body would fade and perish. Similarly, this is what happens to those who deny themselves the [[influence]] of [[the Father]]’s love.
“[[Our Father]] has not chosen a set of [[arbitrary]] rules. He only offers us His unconditional [[love]] and he even gives us the right to take it or [[reject]] it. So-called divine punishment is merely a [[consequence]] of our misguided [[decisions]]. Those who [[persist]] in [[sin]] – [[error]] committed on [[purpose]] – are destined to die because they have ‘closed their mouths to divine nourishment’. [[Our Father]] doesn’t do anything to punish sinners. The only thing He can do is to sadly [[observe]] how His children [[choose]] to die instead of enjoy what He has [[prepared]] for them. You are a child of God and you can [[enjoy]] His [[love]] simply by wishing it. This is the key to eternal life. This is how you will [[become]] similar to [[God]].”
