In Search Of God

The oft debated duality between ‘religion or faith’ and the ‘secular world’ is often intolerant, divisive and far from open-minded. Nonetheless, there is an encouraging trend in the modern world that people are thinking for themselves, using their own inner guidance to tap the inner resources of intuition and to develop a holistic perspective. Is it not true then that many people religiously inclined or otherwise have a sense of that which is beyond their understanding, beyond the material, not entirely of the planet — transcendent, luminous, artistic, creative, an intensity of finer feelings. A beauty is sensed that makes all of life worthwhile. Is the search for God then, now closer to home? Coming to know the inner resources of the soul will surely lead to a recognition of the soul in others and of the divine in all of life and ultimately to an understanding of God transcendent. It is a spiritual fact that the inner urge of humanity is to draw closer to the divine. And, although there is a questioning of the need for organised religion, especially in the West, an inner yearning for the good, the beautiful and the true is drawing out the best of the human spirit in which the enduring and enhancing power of love becomes manifest.

By virtue of our surroundings and the impact of the media, we are developing a global consciousness as the world is reflected back to us and our spiritual sense recognises this extraordinary time of change, as also one of opportunity. Seeking to understand the energies behind events presents a panoramic view, engendering an expansion of consciousness. And, as conscious participators in the unfolding drama of life we become conduits for the energy of spirit through the agency of the soul. The individual awakened to the soul and dedicated to a life of service participates in the forward motion of evolving life.

Spirituality is not a passive philosophy, it requires an incisive approach to life, rising to the inspiration and motivation of inner impulse. The energy of spirit doesn’t necessarily soothe, it can shake things up, destroy glamour and break up crystallization. We recognise that the universe is the expression of a great Life and whilst materiality urges towards separation and differentiation, all is connected by the subtle realm of etheric life, and on a higher turn of the spiral by the soul of all things. Truly everything is related to everything else.

Humanity needs mental illumination, it demands “light on its way”. As a result of the daily action of Triangles workers a network of light and goodwill is generated and spiritual intention impinges on human consciousness. In co-operation with the hierarchy of greater Beings, we are participating in the distribution of light and love for the good of humankind and the entire planet. Humanity is awakening to its spiritual destiny to become an outpost of the Consciousness of God in the solar system. Quite possibly, the search for God has only just begun.
