The Plan of Salvation, as described in Holy Moly: The Story of Duality, Darkness and a Daring Rescue, explains the reality that we have all come from previous hellish spheres. There, we lived in a condensed matter—much thicker than the matter on Earth. Nature was totally absent, nothing was alive, nothing had flavor. Our inner nature was also equally inaccessible. On that sphere, there is no birth and no death—this is a distortion of eternity. It is hopelessness itself and existence is totally mechanized. The principle of evil prevailing there is materialism.
In the last century, this aspect of evil has taken over Earth. As a result, the lifeline to true reality has been broken. We’ve created an alienating reality in which humanity prides itself on its advanced state. We became a reality onto ourselves. The good news is that this has brought people back to taking self-responsibility for searching within. And it is not coincidental that the science of psychology has emerged. The bad news is that we have produced a life not that much different from that dark sphere we came from.
Materialism shows up on this dualistic Earth plane in the form of “having” and “not having”. Of course, on the unitive plane, there is always a way out, which is this: we must learn to give. Because the Law of Giving and Receiving states that receiving is impossible when the soul withholds its innate yearning to give. One cannot exist without the other.
When we are in the illusion that we are empty and impoverished, we automatically create a vicious circle. This belief makes us hoard ourselves—our riches and our talents. We are holding in rather than giving out. This separates us from the riches that surround and penetrate us, confirming the belief of our poverty.
In contrast, we create benign circles by risking giving out; we need to consciously expect that abundance will grow. As we start giving to God in trust and with love, we lift the lever that locked the mechanism. Words can never describe the magnificence of realizing that grace is all around. And that the more we receive the more we can give. And the more we give the more are we capable of receiving. Then giving and receiving become one.

False pictures are reinforced by our beliefs, just as true pictures are. Only when we question them do they lose their energy. We need to unearth and challenge our false beliefs, which is like pulling out poisonous weeds and planting new beautiful seedlings. One such obstacle is our tendency to build on deficit. It links to our belief that we live in an empty, poor, ungiving universe where only some can “have”.
When we build positive beliefs and life patterns on top of hidden negative beliefs, we build on deficit. Same when we secretly believe that we are a totally unlovable and unacceptable human being. Or when our real and false guilts prevent us from turning ourselves fully over to God. When we assume the universe is hostile and we protect ourselves with destructive defenses, we build on deficit.
Building on deficit can appear to succeed for a while. That is the trouble. It is like building a house on sandy ground. It may hold up for while, but when it starts to crumble, we may have forgotten we chose to build on such a weak foundation.
This path is directly designed to create an inner order, painful as this may be at first. In this way, we can begin to build on real assets and never allow our “inner economics” to become fraudulent and unsound. All personal crises—all breakdowns—are nothing but bankruptcy exposed.
We need to stop living above our means, covering one hole with a newly created hole. This is true for individuals as well as governments. Whenever a country goes through a severe crisis—riots, wars or financial collapse—it is a result of waiting too long to establish order in a controlled way. It results from not wanting to expose the deficits so that true abundance can follow.
This step can only be possible through faith in God. Risking to have faith can create faith. A balanced, harmonious, abundant world order requires direct communication with the divine world and the Christ within and around us. If we ignore his existence, we cannot perceive his presence. Nor can we hear his guidance.
We need to connect with Christ within to summon up the courage we need to temporarily expose inner bankruptcy—which outer bankruptcy is reflecting—for both people and countries. Then we will be able to also examine when the individual needs to give more to the collective entity, and when the process can be reversed. The law will fulfill itself so that none will come to deprivation from their giving—quite the contrary, more abundance will accrue for them.

Many spiritual teachings talk about the need to be in the present moment—in the Now. The Guide advocates we use a Daily Review as one of the best means toward living each day and each hour fully. If we don’t do this work daily, we are not fully on this path.
In time, after having recognized, in all its depth, a distortion or a negative attitude in ourselves, we will experience a special peace that is full of the spark of aliveness. That the recognition itself may be very unflattering and disillusioning about oneself, and at times even painful, will not diminish this great experience once the recognition is complete.
It is so only because, at that moment, we are fully utilizing what we are being given—the fragment of time at our disposal. Too often, we are right in it, but blind to it. We merely try to get out of the Now without utilizing it.
Traditions are an example of where we may experience duality that relates to time. They come about when some great beautiful truth breaks through into our physical world, and we want to continue to experience an expression of it.
Some people may get stuck on the notion that all things from the past have value, and therefore they reject change. But change is what was needed to inspire a tradition to begin with. Others swing to the other side and say only new things have value, rejecting all traditions.
Both can be true. True traditions can be very dynamic and alive; others have become empty gestures and should be let go.
