The divine birth from ignorance

The mother once said:

"It is not the spiritual being that suffers for personal reasons, but rather the mental, vital, and ordinary consciousness of the ignorant person. The reason: the connection between outer and spiritual consciousness is not firmly established. Whoever has anchored this connection within themselves is always happy. The spiritual being works with perseverance and fervor to complete this union—yet it never complains, but waits quietly for the hour of realization."

(The Mother, 14:357)

Divine birth is a transition – from ignorance, from apparent imperfection, to a higher facet of our being. To a place where we become one with ourselves and with everything. This becoming one is not a personal achievement of our limited power. It is a gift. A gift of grace.

Reborn in spirit – by a divine power. Greater than the power of ignorance. Greater than the power of forgetfulness. And stronger than the bonds of death. This power descends to us. It lifts us up. It awakens the highest within us and carries us from oblivion into the consciousness of oneness.

But how can the soul—immersed in this material world—rise again from the darkness of human existence? How does it find its way back to the knowledge in which it recognizes itself and experiences its truth in merging with the divine? It is an inner journey. A journey on which we no longer see only with our outer eyes—which contemplate the material world—but begin to see with our hearts. To see with the soul, in which the awareness of truth has never been forgotten.

Within us shines a spark – the divine spark of the soul. It is the bridge to our true nature. When we remember it, when we give space to this deep longing for freedom, love, and acceptance, the light of our soul unfolds. This light allows us to recognize what was previously hidden in our everyday consciousness. It reveals to us the illusions, the wounds, the shadows of our human existence.

And at the same time, it reveals the divine consciousness that lives in everything – and lets us know: Separation was never real. It's not about focusing on what limits us, but on what lives within us: the divine spark that expresses itself as a pure longing for truth, for happiness, for being.

When we become still and connect with our hearts, this light spreads within us. It lifts us from the cocoon of apparent imperfection into the infinite expanse of being. Often we don't know where this longing comes from. We have forgotten that we have a soul. Yet it is the soul that lifts us, step by step, out of oblivion.

This highest essence allows us to recognize our true selves – amidst the structures and challenges of this world. We awaken from the grip of ignorance into a truth that liberates us, that gives us wings, that grants us space to breathe deeply and fly into the vastness of existence. This truth already lives within us. Many feel it. And suddenly, external things no longer hold us as tightly as before. Something within us begins to see more clearly.

To know oneself – with all facets, with all the legacies we carry within. How wonderful when all these facets unite. When our existence is permeated by a vibrant awareness of truth that reminds us of our eternal nature. This awareness brings peace. It brings tranquility. And even when life's game challenges us with disharmony – it sharpens our focus on what truly matters.

In the end, the truth will set us free. It will give us wings. It will give us space. And if I may speak from the Christian tradition: Jesus was, for me, the expression of this truth in human form. He spoke of a light that dwells within us all. And he wanted to remind us of it . Thus, we—brothers and sisters—are united in our spiritual existence.

Part of this truth. This divine spark within your soul has the power to lift you up, to remind you who you truly are. This power resides within you. Don't let your quick mind, with its "Yes, but...", hold you back. It doesn't change the fact that everything you are is alive. You have the free will to live all of this. You possess a forgotten dignity that is being reawakened. Life is the expression of the eternal—in all its facets.

In suffering. And in the fullness of life.
