Why Does God Need Us?

Vladimir Antonov

For most people, the topic indicated in the title will be unexpected. They — on the basis of their original egocentrism — think quite the contrary, asking: “Do I need God?”, “Why should I have to include Him in my worldview?”

And someone may decide that no, He is not necessary for me: after all, if He truly rules everything, then why are there so many troubles, sufferings, and injustices on the Earth? Therefore, God either does not exist at all, or, if He does exist, then He must be so cruel, — and I do not need such God!

But these are the conclusions of those who have no understanding either of God or of themselves and of their own destinies here on the Earth.

Other people agree with the belief of the existence of God, but not on the basis of sound reasoning and knowledge, but only as a result of the “herd instinct”. That is, if everyone around me believes, then I must also believe, and I must believe in the same manner as do all those around me.

A wise large-minded explorers of many different variations of faith, among representatives of different religious branches, have every reason to be surprised… After all, people, even at present, worship various false “gods” of folklore, believing that it is their “duty” to perform “religious” movements, and are involved in meaningless rituals… But, more importantly, they all beg God for various benefits for themselves… They perceive God as a powerful servant, who must please them in every way… And in order for that “servant” to hear one’s prayers — one must pray more and more…

But God is not a servant for us! It is we who must feel ourselves as His servants! (But, first, it would be good for us to understand His Will, both in respect to all humanity in general, and to everyone specifically).

An amazing paradox is found by the intellectually insightful followers of religious sects! This paradox consists in the fact that God does not at all require any ritual actions or prayers from people! God wants something quite different from us: namely, that we become better — in accordance with His Teachings! Our religious efforts should be directed to the perfecting of ourselves in the intellectual, ethical, and psychoenergetical aspects of development! Also, we should direct our efforts to the real service to Him through primarily helping others in their evolution, i.e., in their harmonious participation in the Flow of the Evolution of the Universal Consciousness.

… At this time, God has not only been cognized by various representatives of science, but He has also been sufficiently researched and explored. This information has been published both in certain printed books and on the Internet. His Teachings are summarized and presented in a systematic way, allowing this information to be optimally studied [17-21]. And now it is desirable to make this knowledge accessible to the entire population of our planet. Let atheists receive full and clearly set out information about God and the place of each one of us in the implementation of His Plan. Absurdly distorted ideas about Him cannot satisfy intellectually developed people, that is why they are atheists… Also, by sharing this knowledge, adherents of various religious branches will be able to correct their understanding of God and of their own lives…

One who has studied these materials can easily understand how they would change the lives of all people, if they knew the true meaning of their lives and the possibilities of its implementation!

We discussed this topic in detail from many different angles in previous editions. So now, I will only briefly reiterate the main essence thereof.

God in the Aspect of the Absolute can be described as the Universal Macroorganism, Which is continuously evolving, multiplying Its Perfection. This Macroorganism is really multidimensional, i.e., It consists of layers with differing levels of subtlety-coarseness. The Subtlest Layer is the Main Essence, Which is called by people in their different languages as the Primordial Consciousness, the Creator, God the Father, Allah, Tao, Ishvara, Jehovah, Svarog, and by other words.

Paradise is the layer (eon, loka), adjacent to the Primordial Consciousness. This is the abode of those who have reached a high level of refinement of consciousnesses, but did not yet develop all the qualities required for entry into the eon of the Creator.

At the opposite end of the scale of subtlety-coarseness is hell — the “abode” of those who cultivated vices, such as malice, aggressiveness, irritability, and other similar soul qualities. Hell is the “rubbish heap” of the Evolutionary Process. Life there is a nightmare of existence among similar primitives.

The evolution of the Absolute is carried out by the Creator — through the creation of “islands” of matter in cosmic space, where (when favorable conditions appear) He “plants” the rudiments of souls, which will grow step by step in plant, animal, and then human bodies. Those souls, which reach success in their development, at first settle in paradise, and then in the Abode of the Primordial Consciousness, entering into Its United We.

But those who cultivated the opposite qualities are “rejected”, going into the “outer darkness” of hell.

There is another important detail needed to be answered the following possible question from those who have not yet thought deeply on this subject: why does God need such “complexity”, why not just create perfect souls from the very beginning? But this is impossible. The creation of matter and the creation of the energy of souls — are different. The former is easy for the Creator to do, and although the latter is also easy for Him, it applies only to the rudiments of souls. And then, such souls must develop themselves over a long and hard series of many incarnations.

Individual consciousnesses (souls) have the ability to grow quantitatively — through the consumptions of material food and the transmutation of its energy into the energy of consciousness. Only in this way — and not any other — can the energy of the consciousness grow. Moreover, having free will, souls may cultivate both positive and negative qualities. But only those who have succeeded in accumulating positive characteristics, including ethical perfection, wisdom, and strength — supplement the Creator.

The main positive attribute of developing souls is their subtlety, which then has to become saturated with wisdom and strength.

The refinement of the consciousness grows by means of cultivating the emotions of love, which includes: tenderness, caress, and admiration for the beautiful and attunement with it. “God is Love”, and He teaches people this through Jesus Christ, Sathya Sai Baba, and other Representatives of the Primordial Consciousness [17-21]. And the “organ” of spiritual love, without which the development of true love is impossible, is the spiritual heart. The development of this structure of the soul — in the best variant — may be achieved by the art of psychical self-regulation, which has been taught most extensively in the book [18] and in the video films created by us.

Do we now understand why God needs us? We are the evolving particles of God in the Aspect of the Absolute — with the aim of filling up the most Perfect Part of the Absolute, Which is called by Him the Heart of the Absolute.

Each of us should learn to operate in joint affairs with any associate — not from personal primitive egocentrism, but with a responsiveness to the interests of our partners and to the success of our common evolution.

Let God be the Main Partner in the life of each of us!

And only if you are living on the basis of His interests, can you reach real success in your own life as well!
