Divine Procreation
(Why we are called God’s Children)
By

Gardeners and Botanists
know that many plants can reproduce from cuttings, by a process called “total
regeneration.” That is, a small branch or
stem can be snipped and inserted in soil, and it will sprout roots and begin to
grow independently – a complete, autonomous reproduction of the parent
plant.
Some species of plants are
so well adapted to this kind of procreation, a very small cutting will
suffice. In fact, some plants, like
carrots (under lab conditions), can totally regenerate from a single cell.
God, our Father,
procreates through “total regeneration.”
We are His offspring. A very
long time ago, our Father transplanted tiny pieces of Himself. He withdrew countless billions of divine-cells
from Himself and inserted them into suitable soil (called the physical
Universe). Thus, each human being began
as a single divine-spirit-cell (a God-seed ); a tiny piece of our
Father – who is the God of Heaven and Earth.
We are identical to God, yet still tiny and immature. Thus, we truly
are His Children. (And this is why it
is said, “each person has God’s image and likeness within his soul.”)
Our Father-God is eternal
spirit, both male and female, and therefore, He can rightfully be called our Father-Mother-God.
God has three attributes: strength, wisdom and love. We, His children, are eternal spirits, both
male and female, and we naturally inherit the three divine attributes, and we grow
by developing them.*
Furthermore, our Divine Parent is infinite; and we have infinite
potential for growth.
As God’s Children, each
man has a female counterpart and each woman has a male equivalent. In spirit, they are one (just like our
Father-Mother-God) but in the world of physical manifests (where God-seeds
germinate), the woman and her male half (the husband-soul) appear to be
separate, yet they are one.
The physical universe is
the soil where we grow and mature, and eventually become aware of our oneness;
and finally, after innumerable incarnations, we sprout fourth (breaking through
the surface of earthly experience – into the light of spirit awareness); and we
thrive in the Light, to eventually become just like our Parent-God – with
unbounded strength, wisdom and love.
(And Jesus, along with Miriam – His female equivalent, leads the Way.)
We incarnate into the
physical universe countless times, in order to learn all our divine
lessons. During each incarnation, a man
is given the task of finding his female soul-mate (his other half) and her task
is to find him, and they must learn to recognize each other, and then establish
a partnership of service – for the betterment and enlightenment of the human
race. It takes eons for us to learn to
do this; and to learn all our other lessons, and finally, to reach deific
maturity.
Jesus and Miriam reached
full deific maturity during their incarnation on this world 2,000 years
ago. All of us will eventually become
just like them, for they are our elder brother and sister. Their story is well described and well
documented in the Aquarian Gospel.
By reading and studying
this marvelous sacred book of scripture, we can learn how to “honor our Father
and our Mother,” as did Jesus and Miriam.
By reading their life story, we can view our own future – our natural
destiny, and we can follow in their footsteps.
As their younger brethren (and as children of our eternal
Father-Mother-God), we have no place else to go.

Strength is one of the attributes we inherit. The strength that is mentioned here is not
brute strength; it is “strength of character” – the willingness to be honest
and sincere in all situations, and a dedication to a life of kindness and
forgiveness. This is the life that
exercises our strength and enhances it, and fosters growth (the growth of
soul).
