Weekly Sermon and Song from Tyla and Douglas Gabriel
We are indeed, fragments of a puzzle made from space and time that create our life as a masterpiece, like an image of the celestial heavens that we live in – the cosmos of life.
The puzzle of our life is a picture of destiny and fate that many call the Divine Plan. Not a predestination of a static life but a dynamic picture of a human being growing into an angel, like the prodigal son returning to his family to find his inheritance.
Every step of the path, every piece of the puzzle is necessary to create the big picture, the golden footprints of destiny — of fate, of receiving the grace and blessings of heaven.
The living Cosmos, the universe as we perceive it, shows forth the Divine Plan of Wisdom working together with Love — as a family of stars shining together in the celestial skies.
But before we can see the whole picture as a unity, we must create a frame around this puzzle from the parts that define the parameters of the whole – the original meaning of the picture-puzzle can then appear within this frame as a congealing image. We might call this our personal world-view or cosmology which enables us to hold in our imagination the picture of the whole as one image, one being, one Divine Plan.
First, we need to create the whole vision, and then the individual pieces have meaning and bring a unique addition to re-unification and completeness which encompasses the individual and their place in the whole – separate and unique but united through wisdom and love – what we call, Sophia and Christ.
To find our way through the conundrum of life we first must envision the perfect template, the angelic picture of the human being’s Spiritual Self – what the ancients called the First Adam or First Eve that lived in the Garden of Eden. The Fall from Eden into individuality is the path of suffering that brings Wisdom to birth.
Humans are not angelic yet, but some day, they will be and then all suffering, illness, old age and death will have “no sting” as our Spiritual Self is born as a new angel in the worlds we have created through moral deeds of Wisdom and Love. This in the fulfillment of the completed, unified picture – the reunion of soul to spirit. This is a wedding of soul to spirit that completes the picture-puzzle.
Our Christened Self is the template we should follow to inspire our efforts to find the place of each piece to the puzzle of our destiny – our fate of growing into the complete picture of the divine.
How do we find the pieces we are looking for at the right time and fill the right space? We look for patterns, similar colors and forms, the threads of destiny, the signs of fate, the karmic moments that fit perfectly, and complete a section of the picture. Often these bring revelations of things to come that could not have been imaged before that moment. We turn a corner and a new view unfolds a different world – and then, suffering might become joy, ignorance might turn into faith.
Each new piece of the puzzle that fits perfectly is another step towards the source, towards wholeness and ultimately reveals the Intelligent Design of the puzzle-maker. The Divine has created the picture of the masterpiece for us to follow, if we know what we are looking for, and can remember the original plan, — the original template of creation.
The Cosmos is a hologram broken into many pieces of different sizes and shapes that become one aspect of the whole when it finds its true home. Each proper fit of destiny is a homecoming for the whole puzzle, as the missing piece melts back into the hologram and adds to the enhanced unity of the meaning of oneness. No piece can take the place of another, and every piece is needed desperately to reunite the divine archetypal image in its continued growth and evolution.
Thus, uniting human destiny through freedom, fate, and karma remake the original Divine Plan in its own image and adds to what the Father and Mother Divine beings created to begin with. Every piece of the puzzle of the Growing Cosmos has advanced spiritual evolution. When this happens, Humans become Co-creative angels with the Divine – the new puzzle is more marvelous and grand than the original – and thus, the child has become more than the Father and Mother combined together. This was always the Divine Plan of Wisdom and Love — to birth Human Love through freedom.
History has pictured the Judges of Karma and Destiny as a variety of Beings: Anubis of the Egyptians, Providencia of the Latins, the Three Fates of the Greeks, the Three Wise Nornies of the Norse, and the Lord of Judgment by Christians.
Gods and men have stood in awe of the Beings of Fate, for humans often stand blindly in the events of history unfolding before them. Many humans have lost their way and cannot see nor understand the winds of fate and are blown around by forces they believe are beyond their control. But faith in the Divine Plan and the Beings of Fate give courage and fortitude on our path that is often dark and lonely. Knowing our true place in this plan bolsters the heart against the slings and arrows that threaten the vision of the divine whole – the celestial puzzle of destiny that leads us toward the summit of the spiritual mountain and the gifts of wholeness and belonging that accompany huamn angel-hood – the spiritual finding of our place in the puzzle of life.
Human freedom that leads towards angel-hood, creates the ability to accept divine grace and the re-unification of the individual with the original, spiritual source of life. All humans have the free choice to rejoin the Original Source or to continue to be alone as an individual. But, Love unites all pieces of the divine puzzle in harmony and balance. And Freedom allows the individual to evolve towards the light — or towards the dark. Our mission is to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together again through freedom and love that reveal the spiritual divine in all things.
We are not predestined, because freedom requires that the grace and blessings of the Divine can only be effective if the individual accepts these Love Offerings in the spirit of freedom, not compulsion. Otherwise, there would be no personal, spiritual growth involved in the process.
Therefore, as the pieces of the Puzzle of Destiny are poured out on the table in front of us and seem random and hopelessly separated – ultimately, the vision of wholeness rests with the one making sense of the puzzles-pieces of destiny to find meaning in the whole. This is a beautiful analogy for life and the drive to understand who we are, where we came from, and where we are going – in other words, a Spiritual Cosmology.
Though we may have visions of the whole, each step, each piece must fall into place slowly and carefully until the last pieces of our lives are added and we find who we were, all along. Every completed puzzle of the individual adds to the cosmic picture, the world-view of the whole masterpiece of cosmic and human spiritual evolution.
To find this home in the heavens, we need a roadmap showing the completed vision of our future travels so that we can refine our aim towards the New Garden of Eden. Having this complete vision of the plan and a topological roadmap to guide our way is comforting and helpful. When we complete the puzzle of the Divine Plan we will secure our place in the masterpiece cosmology of the human being becoming an angel, as was always planned. We are gods in the making and each individual piece of the puzzle of destiny adds to completing the evolution of a human/angel who is a co-creator with the Divine. This is the completion of the goal of creation by both the divine beings and each individual human being who has evolved into their Spiritual Self.
This is the puzzle of the Divine and we are the most marvelous creation in the making that reveals the masterwork of wisdom, love, and life.
