Chapter 9
The uniqueness of the act of being born again
Being born again restores humanity's bond with the Creator, that is, with our true Father. For now, this is a unique process, as we still live in a world under Satan's rule. Therefore, it happens slowly, because compared to the Creator, people most often act evolutionarily. Renewing our bond with Him therefore comes gradually. However, He, who acts revolutionary, can react to our return to the original state without the passage of time. For us, such a situation represents a kind of epiphany, a sudden understanding of a phenomenon that may have been previously incomprehensible. Unfortunately, after thousands of years under Satan's rule, we need time to accept the concept that the Creator initially shaped. This is especially true for increasing the level of love we cultivate within ourselves. It is worth remembering that people subject to the flow of time should develop during their physical life through experiences of childhood, marital, parental, and friendly love. Time is also necessary to solidify the knowledge that the purpose of our lives is to become perfect, just as our Heavenly Father is perfect.
According to my system, at the very beginning of time, humans entered a state of spiritual death and halted their spiritual development. Therefore, after deciding to sever ties with Satan, we face a transformation to return to our proper state. This means that, as we begin the period of rebirth, we also enter into conflict with a world under Satan's control. This is because Satan is still present in our world, and thus seeks to regain his "property." Therefore, breaking subordination to Satan involves constantly overcoming difficulties and doubts. "Externally," being reborn is a process of reevaluating the state of reality, combined with internal instability. We can assume that in our present world, no one will help us for now. In this loneliness, from the first moments of the transformation process, we only have the support of our angel. It is also good to constantly think of our Father, simultaneously asking Him for His Power of Love, which we constantly need. After breaking with Satan, we have too little good spiritual energy to cope on our own. Through love for the Creator, we enter into a proper relationship with Him and restore spiritual peace within ourselves. Over time, we become increasingly resistant to the influence of Satan and his demons.
I constantly remind ourselves that we still live in an evil world under Satan's rule. It is normal for a new appreciation of the phenomena surrounding us to bring about rather painful experiences. This is especially true of the feeling of alienation from this world, as we quickly notice that virtually no one around us shares our perspective, and, moreover, almost no one is interested in our perspective. This is because our new way of behaving does not resonate with others. It "reflects" their fallen nature. This makes us feel like strangers in this world. It is also because we begin to see the world "through new eyes," which, incidentally, confirms that the act of being born again is underway. Our foundation is a constant and deep feeling of love for the Creator. This is our daily "religion."
The essenceist system, explaining the process of spiritual rebirth, asserts that these difficulties are only temporary. Positives significantly predominate in this process. It is therefore worthwhile to recognize the positive experiences that accompany this phenomenon.
The most important experience associated with being reborn signifies the full awareness that one gains certainty of the Creator's existence and that one possesses an eternal spiritual person within oneself. Moreover, one acquires the knowledge that one will enter the eternal spiritual world where one will complete one's development towards perfection. This guarantees an eternal bond with the Creator. It also signifies a new richness of experience in the state that awaits us beyond time and space. Since the purpose of the Original Being's creation of the world was to constantly experience the highest state of true love, such an experience also applies to anyone who has become perfect like the Creator.
As part of being reborn, one increasingly feels like a citizen of the universe. This is because a perfect person in the form of a spiritual person can unite harmoniously with other spiritual persons without any limitations. If a civilization arose somewhere in the cosmos, on some planet, consistent with the Creator's concept, then the spiritual person residing in the spiritual world would be able to communicate with the inhabitants of that planet. They would also be able to participate in the life of this planet, experience its beauty, and experience true love.
Followers of many religions regard entering the Kingdom of God as the ultimate goal of their lives. It is their greatest dream, although they have not yet known how it will happen. Therefore, after being born again, they will be able to fulfill their dream.
