Hans Wilhelm sketches a two-tier metaphysics: an 'absolute reality' identified with God and unconditional love, and a 'relative reality' that includes the negativity and suffering of physical existence. He uses the metaphor of sun and sunbeams to position created beings as inseparable from but not identical to God.

[Music] hi I'm hunt Willem I'm delighted that you can join me to explore some very important questions like what is reality what is good what is bad who are we and a lot of other important stuff many of the topics that I have covered in the other videos will come together in this new one we sometimes have to step away from the tapestry of life to see the whole picture I'm trying to attempt that right now let us first look at the absolute reality the eternal infinite reality this is the multi-dimensional spiritual cosmos with all the galaxies the stars and planets it is our spiritual home also called the pure heavens central to this is God who is energy and a multi-dimensional being with consciousness and will and that's why I'm incapable of drawing God instead I'm using the Swiss philosopher and theorist Armen Reese's wonderful metaphor of the Sun representing God the unconditional love or being or life also consciousness and intelligence of course and God's will which is the living in the unity with all that is and we as well as all of creation are the sunbeams radiating from this Sun we are created out of the streaming light of God just like a sunbeam so we are not God but we are part of God and we are never separated from God as these sunbeams we we're the co-creators who created and fashioned the ever-expanding spiritual universes we did this in harmony with a will of God meaning we were affirming and living the unity with all that is the unconditional love and by doing so we lived in from what I can crudely call a constant bliss ecstasy or joy that is our true state of being our essence we are total magnificence nothing else and it is absolute reality we do have polarity like up and down and right and left but we do not have anything that we might call negative like war or hate or pain suffering and so on the reason is simple the absolute reality is God and God is absolute the Sun does not require the darkness to exist or to define or to experience itself as some esoteric teachings tell us the Sun just shines just like God is that's all God is this here is our original home from where we came our true divine existence and the stuff we are made of so why aren't we there right now God has his own free will and being his children we also had our own free will because we are part of God we always have the choice whether we wish to follow his will or our own will if we didn't have our own free will we would be just like robots and life would plus would be basically meaningless eons ago a tiny tiny group of these sunbeams meaning spiritual beings turned away from their source from God from God's will they no longer wanted to live for the well-being of all but mostly for themselves it was the beginning of the only me thinking of the egoistic self will versus God's will in the scripture we call this occurrence the fall we can compared to a huge orchestra where all the musicians play this beautiful and harmonious piece of music together but suddenly some musicians decides to play their only tune it would sound something like this naturally these musicians have chosen not to be part of the big orchestra anymore now look what happen when we turned away from the light or shut off the light that continuously flows through us that energizes us we are actually blocking the light by turning away from the source we become an obstacle which now blocks the light and the result is darkness here dark deep darkness space where there is no light a little light having turned away from God we are now facing this darkness ends what is our first reaction to what we see fear we suddenly believe we are separated from God because we are facing away from God because we have forgotten who we are in truth this is our imagined state of separation and with fear our selfishness increases because everything now becomes a question of our survival some scientists claim that about 80% of our thoughts are directly or indirectly related to survival we have chosen to no longer rely on the light energy from God the source and as a result we now have to fight energy outside of our selves from other sources because of miracle says it so perfectly there are only two actions in life one is giving love and the other is crying out for love and this love is the same as energy lifeforce since we are no longer letting the last flow through us to sustain it nourish us we now need it from each other life now becomes the constant battle for energy from simple things like creating for others people attention for praise recognition to outright war collectively and individually we engaged in constantly stealing energies life flows from others all aggressions all hate or greed or the lasting all envy or pride or gluttony or fighting and all suffering our betters for energy for life loss because we feel empty we have forgotten to live in the limitless abundance of God's will this dark area here that we have created is the field of suffering our negative sensing feelings thoughts and words and actions become bullets that we shoot on others and these bullets eventually all come back to us as karma karma are the burdens of our soul the Karma is a blockage for the light and the more burdens we have the less divine light can shine through us and nourish us and the more darkness we see and experience ahead of us and the more desperate we become for survival therefore our goal is to clean up all our karma here and we do this by forgiving asking for forgiveness and no longer steal energy from others through negative feelings thoughts words and actions that are contrary to God's will which is the will of unity with all or succour unconditional love this darkness here that we have created by blocking the lighters to us is called the relative reality because it is temporary and relative the light is eternal but darkness is only temporary these are what is commonly called the temporary Four Worlds which includes the material cosmos with our planet Earth we think of our material universe being so gigantic in size but in truth it is absolutely tiny compared to the dimensions of our spiritual home in this relative reality we also have opposites some call them duality it's like good and bad the things that we call good into things that we call that but what is good and what is bad mother teresa's view of what is good was very different to what Hitler thought was good for Germany when the same applies for bed some see a terrorist as a bad person and others see him as a freedom fighter because in this relative reality we have human judgments and judgments are always based on our personal beliefs and our own view of the world it's all relative our goal is not to just to do good and avoid bad because they are judgments our goal is to transcend our duality and to become divine again this means becoming totally conscious of who we truly are and leading completely in God's will which is divine love it means to become active for the well-being of all without any expectations or rewards or recognition also by undoing our karma and turning Dec towards God instead of away from God our source this is called our coming home or homecoming when we allow the divine light to stream unhindered through our spiritual and physical body again we are the light and we will only see light again in the darkness that created will automatically disappear this is what enlightenment means it means letting the light through the challenge for us all is to remember all the time who we are in truth and turn our selfish thinking to the awareness of the or unity of God thankfully we have a wonderful example to follow the highest light being ever incarnated as the one record Jesus has shown us how to walk the path of divine love I really enjoy making this particular video thank you for sharing your time with me [Music]
