Divine Procreation
(Why we are
called God’s Children)
By Michael F. O’Keeffe
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).
