While searching for some spiritual sites, I was led to the Angelic Revelations. I have read the books over and over. They were written in such simple, understandable yet profound and beautiful terms, that reading these materials is an enjoyment in itself. These books will continue to be my life-long studies for spiritual understanding. Since this discovery, I have put the principles into practice. There're no more doubts. The answers are there. Prayers and meditation have helped me to find the way to faith, which provides me with peaceful days and restful nights. There's a great deal more to learn, and I'm still searching. I'm looking for Atonement in the true sense, whatever that means. Whenever I see an opportunity, I also try to spread the Truths. Thanks for providing this site to open up my mind and heart to the Divine Truths.
Lani B. My first encounter with the Truth was quite some time before my first encounter with the "Truths". In my first year of graduate studies, I open-mindedly attended a Bible study which was put together by a couple of medical students. I had no idea at the time that it would lead to an extreme pressure sell for their church, which shall remain nameless. I had been brought up Catholic, had never read more of the Bible than what was presented in readings at Mass, and had reached a point in my life where I was just becoming interested in getting back to religion and God after several years of apathy. My disinterest changed rapidly as this group made it clear to me that I hadn't really ever questioned or challenged the rules of my upbringing. Although their fire-and-brimstone approach, and anti-Catholic Bible passages didn't get me to join them, (Their descriptions of 'Satan' trying to 'grab my soul' depicted their own behavior far too closely.) it did undercut all of my beliefs, leaving me hanging in a spiritual crisis. So I pored over the only source which I had at the time, the Bible. I found the Old Testament to be very depressing (too much calling for war and blood of enemies, etc.) with a few bright points, and nothing which called to me or soothed my heebejeebies (translation: massive and irrational fear of frying after death.) Changing to the NT didn't help much, either. Although the synoptic gospels clearly showed how much the people needed the example of Jesus, and his understanding of God as a Loving Father, they really didn't carry much of a spiritual message. So, on to John, a long-time favorite from gospel readings during holidays. (which is when the RCC uses John.) I had never heard of the preamble.. and as I read it, I thought of the book of Wisdom, in which the Word was God's Wisdom, personified. Yet John was getting at something different. It wasn't easy to read the term 'Word', having just been through the abusive twisting of the term by this fundamentalist group, and all the talk of 'inerrancy', and 'God wrote a manual so that man would have it, and God has never talked to man since' which was their line. (Can't have anyone with ideas which come from anywhere you aren't in control of, after all.) The last thing I wanted to hear was the term "Word of God" But, humorously, I turned it over in my mind... John was describing Jesus, not the book in my hand, to which the fundamentalists were devoted. (Haiku: When a finger points at the moon, a fool looks at the finger.) But 'Word' was singular, not plural, certainly not the thousands of words used to make such a thick book. Why all of this, when one word would do? What word? LOVE! It was then that I first understood that Jesus was the Incarnation of God's LOVE. But it would not be for a couple more years that I would find that we, too, are meant to be the Incarnation of our Father's LOVE, just as Jesus was...

Is it strange, or is it merely destiny? Perhaps it is the destiny of all, but which few lucky souls manage to recognise. And I feel profoundly blessed to be one of these souls. That upon finding the Padgett Messages some four years ago, I knew, instantly, at the very core of my being : I had just found what I had been searching for all my life. Oh, how much I needed the Love I came to understand through the messages. In the few years that comprised my teens, I visited many different churches. I had not had much in the form of spiritual education or guidance, save my mother's wish that I attend (Baptist) Sunday school. Born to a father who was inclined to believe in science and in what he could see, I had a mother who had not the necessary self-love to feel or know the unconditional love of a Creator her orthodox upbringing had instilled as a wrathful, jealous God. Within the first half hour of reading the content of the Padgett messages, I knew I had found what alone could quench a seemingly unquenchable thirst. Something which had the power to appease a soul hunger that had kept me constantly searching, sometimes consciously, sometimes not. For I find I have always yearned to know the real truth regarding our existence, the Truth of God. I believe we all yearn... In the gracious unfolding of my soul development - how I stand in awe of the perfect symmetry of this Grand Design of God - I was destined, some 6 years ago, to meet a very powerful spiritual woman, who taught me that I needn't wait until death to find answers; that a great deal of knowledge and wisdom was obtainable even in the flesh. Nevertheless, while this meant much for my spiritual growth, I continued to experience spiritual confusion and despair, wondering and wishing to know the Real, Core and Unquestionable truth of our existence. The Truth that would answer all the questions of my mind as well as my heart. And so it happened that, after a few months at a new job, some four years ago, I went onto the Internet. The company had already installed the Internet on my computer several months earlier but somehow, in these preceding months, I had never had the urge to visit the much talked about World Wide Web. Until this one day.... I was feeling frustrated and disorientated. Feeling I no longer knew, if ever I had, where I was going or what life was about. I was despondent. I had so many, many, many questions which continued to drift aimlessly in shadows....either I could not find answers or there was a profusion of diverse and contradictory information. Upon this special day, sitting at my desk, I suddenly experienced a strong urge to connect to the Internet...... There, upon the home page of the particular search engine I 'randomly' selected, my eye fell immediately upon an invitation from the Angelic Revelations site. And that was the profoundly simple moment that changed my life. I wish, often times, that I may stand upon a mountaintop and shout, to tell all the world they can stop searching. That they might read for themselves the messages, and investigate their content, and that they may happily trust in and follow only their very own heart and soul. That they might bathe in the sublime bliss that comes with the knowledge to have, finally, truly, found the Truth; the absolute Truth of God, of our existence. The Truth all the world is looking for. I am a dreamer. Yet I have come to know that I cannot convince people the Dream is true. All I can do is to live the Dream, the beautiful existence I know we were destined to live, but which the human race in its guilt and fear no longer believes ourselves worthy of. All I can do is to believe in the Power of God's magical Divine Love. To strive to be a soldier for Truth, and fight global belief systems which keep us locked in violence and pain and fear. And as one by one human souls find and recognise the Absolute Truth of God's Love, Divine Love, so will we solve the living enigma of the human race, and find our way back to our Eternal, most Exquisite Creator. Our way back Home. Tanya
(excerpt from a letter) So I wrote a Bible paper at that time called "Jesus did not come to die". It talked about the preparation of the nation of Israel to receive Jesus and take the messiah to the world at large thru their example. It also spoke of the need for a second coming because what Jesus wanted to teach was left unaccomplished. Of course, everything I wrote was not quite in line with the messages because I assumed the Bible spoke the truth. But it was close enough. This was four years before I got the Padgett book. So I guess I am also a "whole truth" kind of person. :) When I was in DC, I was on the way to photocopy this Bible paper, and a strange woman was staring at the house I was renting a room in. I asked her if she was okay, and I walked her down to her "church". On the way, she began talking about God and Jesus, and I assumed she was a traditional Christian, so I covered this paper up so we wouldn't get in an argument. Lo and behold, when we parted, she gave this tract "Truths All Mankind Should Know" (taken from the Padgett messages - ed.) which of course, states clearly that Jesus was not to die. She left me, and I heard clearly in my heart, "Read it NOW", so I stood in the middle of the intersection reading it. I called her back, and she took me to the house in DC and gave me Vol. I. I lent it to a friend who lost it, the church had moved, and over a year later, I saw this woman again who gave me Vol. I right out of her car trunk, which is the copy I still have. Then ten years later, I saw another on a bookshelf of an American couple I stayed with in Moscow. This woman was into spiritual healings, and had a virtual spiritual library there, and there was the book again. So you can imagine how I felt finding your websites after all these years. ... I do believe in respect for others free will (as to whether they believe the Bible teachings or the Padgett messages). But I also believe that if people can really deeply understand what Jesus wanted to do on earth, he and God would not only become more real to them, but they would also want to draw nearer and long for God more. I think there is lots of beautiful truth in the messages that I treasure very much in my heart. I listen alot to people on firetalk, and I guess what I have again realized is that all the arguing and all the discussion is because people want to find the real God, not the conceptual one!!!! For me, the question is not just teaching people to pray to God, but also how to stimulate the longing from the soul...
...I'm an engineering student. Age 21. I was born under a family that never worship God, but rather more towards idol worshipping. For starters, I was never a Christian until I accepted Christ approximately a year back. My family wasn't exposured towards Christianity or even understood the meaning of God. I learnt about God through my friends and merely regarded Jesus as another "idol" to be worship by Christians. When I was child, I suffered loneliness as I was never brought into the understanding of Love of a Father and even friendship love throughout my childhood years. When I first came to study in a college in Kuala Lumpur, the meaning of trust and friendship never existed in my life. My soul virtually died, and unusual as it may seems, I sometimes cried up to the heavens to gain some relief in the heart, but it was only temporarily. I seek towards studying a few religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Islamic and so on, but it doesn't help much either. Then a friend came and brought me to a Christian gathering. For the first time in my life, I actually felt the warmth of friendship and I was brought closer and closer towards Christianity. But deep in my heart, I was still the stubborn old self. I don't even believe that God existed. Only a year ago, I accepted Christ, but out of the persuasion of a friend. Deep within me, I still do not trust God. I only accepted Christ 'verbally' and not from the heart. Then came the time when my pastor decided to baptize me with the Holy Spirit. And that was the first time I heard about speaking in tongues. So, I asked the Father, "God if you really existed, then give me that whatever thing that my pastor has been talking about." When my pastor baptized me, I started talking strange continuous language, unceasingly, for almost more than 2 hours! It was the first time I actually felt the presence of God by praising Him in this unusual language. And God has planted a firm root into my heart, that He actually existed. Then after a few months later, I felt myself spiritually backslided. Not in the sense that I've been doing something bad. But that I felt the discomfort of believing Jesus is God?? I wasn't sure why my soul says that Jesus is not God. And again, I was totally confused, and sadness began to creep back into my heart. It was only recently a few months back that I finally found the web page, Truths.com. When I first started to read through the message, I was somewhat a bit confused but somehow I felt that what the message is conveying truly "fulfills and matches" my soul understanding even though I don't quite understand it mentally. This was the starting point when I began to understand more about God, and my life was slowly lifted up by the grace of God. I finally understand the meaning of Love and even the love among friends. It was truly unusual as I was lifted up from a nobody to a somebody. I must say that it was the most precious moment when I first found out about this web site. Oh, such bliss that stays in my heart! And I must also say, if it wasn't for you guys, my soul would have stayed in oblivion and "darkness". Thank you so much, all of you and especially to you Amy and Doug. And I pray that may your work be continued to be recognized by the world and somehow, I felt deep within my heart that God is going to work miracles and the people who get to know about the messages will start to boom in great numbers. I felt the sense of "potential" in this website as well. Continue your great work in spreading the sharing the truths with others and God will multiply His gratefulness in return to all of you. Well, that's all about myself for now. Hmm...I suppose this mail is more like a testimony.... God Bless. Love,
Bill S. - Dear Friends of the Divine Love; I am compelled to write to you all about the wonderful life that I have now, thanks to God's loving mercy. I discovered that, 'wanting to know the Truth about my life', I did not realize what I was in for! My friends this is my personal testimony of the Love of God and it's power via prayer to answer our questions and issues with subtle complexity. When I first started on this pathway I was nervous, hesitant, down right afraid. My family has been through, well, quite frankly, hell over the first 6 years of our marriage. Here is just a sample: we had a serious stalker who then turned to the IRS and courts to torture us unfairly, a son born during this time with heart defect (1 operation done, 1 to go) and slight brain damage and then finally opening my home to my wife's 17 year old step sister, who was abused and angry, plus her 70 lb dog. We really tried to provide her with everything, family too. She never once thanked us for our efforts and we finally had to kick her out, the entire family was in disarray by then. This is just an example of how incredibly bad things can get even for decent people. Remarks from outsiders that noticed and commented on the "incredibly BAD" luck we were having. All the while, as life knocked me down, I always could get back up. But not till the sister in-law was destroying my family did I finally look up and ask "Hey what's the deal here!!!!!" and "Do I deserve this!!!" God. You just helped us pay off $28,000 in credit card debt IN JUST 6 MONTHS, we finally saved $$$ and she shows up, we spend $4,000 building her a private room etc, why this!!!! Awful, I felt beaten for the first time. That was the moment that turned me around. I never left God, just didn't know who He was inside. But even a suffering Catholic has their limit (believing that I would earn rewards and love through suffering). I felt I had to knock on God's door and confront my life, because frankly I didn't get it! I was overcoming my fear of going directly to Him. This was before I found the messages too. Fast forward two years, to today. I just received another startling blessing this past week. Over the last two years people are now noticing the "incredibly Good" luck that has been happening! Isn't life interesting, I witnessed to my closest friends and family as soon as I found the messages. Obviously, my message was not accepted with open minds. Now God is proving Himself, through me, to everyone via a string of remarkable circumstances which literally has turn all of our lives around. The difference now is that when people look at me, I point them to God for all the credit. I take zero credit for everything and I am so humbled by God's grace and Love that others have noticed the change, through example, not preaching. Now, my sister in-law tells us that I was her only real father figure she ever had and apologies for her behavior. My 'atheist' brother in-law, thanked me recently, for sharing with him my views and now his interest in his spirit has increased as has my sister. One night, while praying for my son's health, I "got" a thought for a children's game. After a long process and constant faith in it, the game will be on the market by December. This was startling to my family, I am not an inventor, but this is a wonderful game, again I am so humbled each time someone tells me they love it, I just thank God for the opportunity!!!! I told my company that I want to move away for a better life for my family, they said I could keep my job and work from there!!! I could not believe this, I was completely prepared to have to look for another job! And SO MANY "lesser" blessing that I just can't list but have caused such a deep sense of gratitude from my soul to God's that it is almost constant unconscious worship and praise all day each moment. Thank you all for letting me share this, I realise that it is not a "deep" email. I just could not sit back anymore without sharing what the Divine Love has done for our family and how far we have actually come because of it and all of you, who have carried me along with your wonderful experiences too. I Love you all and Thank you for adding my son, Brandon, to the prayer list. He also has made great strides in his development and has taught me a lot about joy. Your Brother in Christ,
"Seek and Ye Shall Find" I am so grateful to have found the Truth, which I so earnestly sought! I was brought up Jewish, but eventually rebelled against the rituals and human imperfections I observed in my native faith. At the age of 30, I "accepted" Christianity, and studied with the Jews for Jesus. But after two years of Bible study, I figured I had had enough: the idea of Jesus' death on the cross as a means of my salvation, made no sense to me. So I embarked upon a passionate and diligent search for spiritual Truth. I studied many different traditions, and my soul was really on fire to know the Truth. I reasoned that God existed, and that He was Truth. So therefore, the Truth could be revealed to me, in a way I could understand. Well, when I met the Padgett messages, I discovered that Truth. A friend of mine at work was a spiritualist, and it was he who introduced me to them. These messages had a lofty and spiritual tone, but the thing that won me over was the reasonable and logical approach. Finally, spiritual Truth was presented in a way that I could relate to not just through my soul, but also through my intellect: I had found what I was looking for. That was back in 1983. Since then, I have realized that that find was the BEGINNING of my spiritual journey, not its end. I learned that we have to know ourselves and work through our problems when we are on the spiritual path. I had problems and insecurities that went way back, and in order for me to progress, I had to address them directly, which I did. Though I haven't had an "exceptional" experience with the Divine Love, nevertheless as a result of consistent and earnest prayer since 1983, I have been able to feel the glowing of the Love quite regularly. It has really been wonderful to experience the peace and joy that the Love brings, especially considering the fact that much of my earlier life was spent in turmoil and confusion, and, yes, mental torment. Just as an aside, I wish to say that I possessed the Divine Love in childhood. I remember intense prayer sessions with God when I was a child. It was this that gave me the goodness that people have responded to in me, both then and now. My journey had some blind alleys, but I now accept it, because I was truly seeking. As Jesus says, "Seek, and ye shall find." No matter that we may make mistakes and sometimes temporarily lose our way; if we persevere, we will eventually come home. It is not enough to read the Padgett messages. They are just ink on paper. One has to APPLY them, and that means praying for the Divine Love with sincerity and faith. The messages taught me that there are two distinct types of perception: mental perception and soul perception. These messages have to be approached on a soulful level, though the mind must be engaged as well. Indeed, as I have said, it was my mental satisfaction that caused me to believe. The mind is a wonderful thing, but it can sometimes be at odds with our soul, even to the point of conflict. I was given a strong, logical intellect, and it has often caused me much pain. In my college years, I was immersed in the life and work of the Irish writer, James Joyce. I have since come to see that Joyce's intellect was a trap, a labyrinth, that prevented him from experiencing the Love. I myself was in that labyrinth, and could find no way out. My advice to you, dear reader, is to try the experiment. If you haven't already done so, pray for the Divine Love earnestly, and believe in your heart that you can receive It. And remember, praying for the Love is a soulful activity, not a thing of the mind. Let your whole soul go out to God, and truly desire His Love. The response may not be immediate, but if you persevere, you will eventually experience that peace and joy that have made me such a happy person. May God bless you on your journey.
