4. What is the difference between Universal Consciousness and Divine Consciousness?
UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS (God) (L5)
DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS ⎯ Highest Intelligent Authority (L8)
Divine Consciousness is the unseen Reality ⎯ the Power ⎯ at work behind the outer appearances of your life, moving ‘intelligent energy force’ to manifest your needs. (L8)

UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS is the UNIVERSAL REALM of SPACE which none may enter or access, since IT rests in a state of equilibrium and self-contained energy. (L6)
DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS is the reunion of the original IMPULSES within UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS which were released to become both the activity and the substance of creation at the moment of the BIG BANG. (L6)
These IMPULSES were explosively divided and then came together in a state of mutual restraint. They were also destined to work forever in the created realm either separately, manifested as energies, or together restrained in equilibrium. It is only this realm of DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS that science may penetrate. (L6)
Perhaps the following paragraph will explain this more clearly: (L6)

Perhaps the following paragraph will explain this more clearly: (L6)
Having given you this intellectual word description of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS, you will not be any closer to an appreciation of the sublime magnificence and grandeur of the Power, nor of the beauty, joy, harmony, ecstasy contained in colour and sound beyond your dimension. (L6)
It is only we who have ascended in consciousness frequencies of vibration to the very portals, or edges, of the equilibrium of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS who experience and can radiate the rapture of self-awareness of true potential without desiring to fulfill it ⎯ the wondrous joy of personal fulfilment without ‘lifting a finger’. (L6)
I use this last term metaphorically, since, although I retain my individuality, I am active in consciousness only and am, in no way, physical any longer and have not been since my continuing spiritual ascension in other dimensions after my death on the cross. (L6)
You may wonder how it is possible to have such enormous UNIVERSAL IMPULSES within a state of equilibrium. They are in a state of equal and mutual restraint, the bonding, nurturing LOVE IMPULSE holding, binding the creative, active WILL under control. (L6)
I can only explain this phenomenon in the following simple terms. (L6)
If you place the palm of one hand on top of the palm of the other, with finger tips of each hand touching the wrist of the other hand and then try to separate them but still keep them tightly flat on each other, you will gain some idea of the meaning of ‘equilibrium’ or ‘mutual restraint’. (L6)
Furthermore, you must realise that although your hands are apparently expressing a physical phenomena, they are actually governed by and expressing IMPULSES emanating from your brain. In addition, your brain may be the vehicle of expressing conscious ideas ⎯ impulses ⎯ but in fact, the IMPULSE is the reality of all movement of any kind ⎯ not the physical brain which is only an instrument of expression of such impulses. (L6)
I have given you only an intellectual account of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. How can I describe for you the latent power, the magnificence of reverence, the rapture, the radiant joy, the state of utter contentment and peace and harmony of Its Being? (L6)
Even if you can contemplate and realise that out of this IMMENSITY of CONSCIOUSNESS the entire universe has drawn life and form, you cannot perceive more than an electron of the vast, immeasurable Joyous Reality of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. (L6)
To fully understand the nature of creation: the reasons why the ego functions as it does, why created entities feel the urges they feel, it must be understood that the NATURE and QUALITY of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS is RADIANT JOY ⎯ FULFILMENT ⎯ HAPPINESS. (L6)
THIS IS WHAT I TERMED THE ‘KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WITHIN YOU’ ⎯ WITHIN YOUR SOUL ⎯ WITHIN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF YOUR PSYCHE, which is the intermediary between the radiance of your soul and the shadow self of ego. (L6)
To return to this transcendent state of glorious, beautiful, happy, harmonious being is your soul’s deepest longing! (L6)
It is this enduring longing, this inborn unconscious recollection of equilibrium and peace, joy and harmony, which, through the psyche, prompts the EGO to manipulate the environment on your behalf. Its consistent purpose is to bring you back to your primal original state of glorious ecstasy out of which you drew your soul, being and form. (L6)
But the ego can bring about your desired joy and pleasure, only by means of the two magnetic/emotional ‘Bonding-Rejection’ impulses ⎯ which are only materialised impulses to give you your individuality. (L6)
Therefore, the inborn longing to rejoin the SOURCE of BEING is experienced in the electromagnetic parameters of thought and feeling as ‘More, more, more’ of what gave you a pleasurable feeling, previously. More friends, more house, car, clothes, etc. Each time the ‘more’ has been achieved, there is a little glow of satisfaction, perhaps a showing off to the neighbours to heighten the happiness, (gaining one up on them, and another little glow), and then the novelty dies away, the new possession becomes mundane, the senses are again at rest ⎯ in equilibrium ⎯ mental tiredness sets in, routine becomes dull and boring. To generate some life, the ego finds another goal to be achieved to provide excitement and pleasure. (L6)
Thus, life is an endless chase for personal satisfaction of various kinds leaving the hidden soul, starved, unsatisfied, still longing for something ‘More’ ⎯ ‘But what is it my deepest self is craving?’ You ask in desperation. (L6)
When a person reaches an understanding of the true source of emptiness and continual inner craving for ‘more of what made me feel good before’, and begins to meditate to make contact with ...‘THAT’... WHICH BROUGHT HIM/HER INTO BEING, a little of the Divine Equilibrium filters through the human consciousness. The emptiness begins to recede. (L6)
If indeed such a person catches a true glimpse of the ETERNAL and the true goal in life, the longing for more possessions will eventually die a natural death. The desire for ‘More’ possessions will be gradually replaced with a sincere appreciation of what you already have and a sense of consistent contentment. Through experiences of the miraculous interventions or activity of DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS within the daily life, the human consciousness is greatly uplifted and learns that its daily needs are met in the very best way. Faith is increased and joy enhanced. (L6)
This is why I have said to you: I have not come to teach you positive thinking to draw into your orbit the things you want and need. I have come to you expressly to lead you back into the Kingdom of Heaven. (L6)
However, it is not only in the matter of desiring more possessions for yourself that your soul is bound down within its secret dwelling place. The ego also uses the magnetic-emotional drive to ‘repel – reject’ to ensure your individuality, privacy, and safety. This impulse takes on numerous forms designed to give you a feeling of superiority, or elitism, or protecting you from people whom you consider to be undesirable, or having less social status than yourself. (L6)
This ego-drive is practised continually and was thought to be perfectly acceptable, even by the churches. The truth is: when the soul begins to gain a little control over the ego-drive, it will chide the human personality for its selfishness and exclusivity. It will urge the psyche towards the adoption of unconditional love and a belief in universality and Oneness of all people, no matter who they may be. (L6)
Perhaps, now, you can more easily understand how and why the creation of your individuality through the medium of the ego, formed the great ‘physical impulses’ capsule which produced and enclosed your human consciousness ⎯ creating both your physical form and your human personality. Since it governs your mind and emotions, thoughts and feelings, it prevents you from making contact with the SOURCE of your LIFE and your SOUL. (L6)
It is only we who have ascended in consciousness frequencies of vibration to the very portals, or edges, of the equilibrium of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS who experience and can radiate the rapture of self-awareness of true potential without desiring to fulfill it ⎯ the wondrous joy of personal fulfilment without ‘lifting a finger’.
