If we ask someone:
“What is the worst thing that could happen to you?”
Most would respond:
“To die, to get sick, to be poor.”
Then they may add: “That I won’t be loved, that I won’t have a fulfilling job, that I won’t be beautiful (and… thin).”
Essentially, these concerns extend not only to themselves but also to their loved ones — the dread of losing family and friends to such misfortunes.
However, if we pose the question:
“What is the best thing you could ask of God?”
The vast majority would answer that if petitioning God was possible, they would ask for the opposite of their worst fears.
In other words: long life (well… since you can’t ask even God to let you live forever), perpetual health, and everlasting wealth and happiness for themselves and their cherished ones.
The truth is that in the Creator’s original plan, our journey through creation was meant to unfold with blessings and prosperity.
However, these were not intended as ends in themselves, as humans perceive them today, but merely as means to facilitate our spiritual maturation.
Had we developed according to the plan of the Light, we would have never known suffering.
Suffering was never part of the Divine blueprint, contrary to the misguided and distorted teachings that purport to explain God’s Will. Instead, suffering emerged as a consequence of humanity’s deviation from the Laws of Creation.
Suffering and curses began the moment Adam and Eve submitted to the serpent’s temptation and ate from the Tree of Knowledge — a symbolic code for humanity’s enslavement to an intellect limited by time and space.
Since then, most of us have utterly forgotten the purpose of our existence, causing our aspirations and fears to become solely fixated on the material realm.
For those truly connected to their spirit — a rare breed, despite many perceiving themselves as “spiritual” — the two questions posed earlier would elicit starkly different answers:
“Now that we are in the Days of the Final Judgment — the end of time for the human spirit’s development before the Final Reckoning — the worst thing that could happen to me is to waste the time granted over thousands of years and countless reincarnations to complete my spirit’s journey. Therefore, the greatest blessing God could bestow is the chance to fulfill my path as a mature spirit, ready to ascend back to the Garden of Eden.”
Such individuals would wish this not only for their loved ones but for all of humanity.
However, this perspective is entirely alien to those who have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge and are now bound to the matrix of the material world. (“Why should I care about the Garden of Eden? No one has proven there’s an afterlife. What matters is enjoying the here and now and not missing my next vacation.”)

Many people struggle to grasp the true purpose of life, because each of us has three types of consciousness:
* Intellectual consciousness.
* Emotional consciousness.
* Spiritual consciousness.
The first two perceive only material reality, binding us to the earthly realm, while spiritual consciousness alone grants the proper perspective, that the material world is a school for the spirit’s development, never its ultimate destination.
Thus far, intellectual and emotional consciousness have suppressed spiritual awakening among the vast majority.
But now, as the old world crumbles and falsehoods are laid bare in these Days of the Final Judgment, those stubbornly clinging to intellect or emotion will experience profound despair or a sense of insanity.
This is because the intellect and emotions can no longer explain reality.
Of course, one could continue to blame others, but as reality becomes increasingly untenable, despair and insanity will befall all who do not awaken to develop their spiritual consciousness.
For the moment this consciousness emerges, the entire perspective on today’s world shifts completely.
What does one with spiritual consciousness know?
1. God does not intervene in Creation on a personal level; rather, His immutable, eternal Laws — expressions of His Will set forth from the beginning — act automatically upon each person, for better or worse. (Consider the Law of Karma, or Cause and Effect. It operates autonomously, without God’s personal supervision.)
2. In this era, known as the Days of the Final Judgment, the material world is undergoing a process of disintegration. This is a natural cycle, as all matter must pass through phases of beginning, development, and disintegration before repeating.
We witness this in flowers and the human body; why should the material aspect of Creation be exempt? It is not punishment, but an intrinsic process.
3. Our true self transcends the body, intellect, and emotions. These are mere aids — cloaks for our spirit, our true self, which enters the material realm expressly to mature through experiences.
4. During the Judgment, the Divine Power, or life energy, flows more intensely into Creation, causing all things to intensify and bring judgment upon themselves automatically.
Evil intensifies and is exposed for this reason. But so too is everything within each person laid bare. We reap what we have sown, and every moment spent accusing others instead of rectifying our ways is a fatal waste of time for our spirit in its final chance to complete its journey.
5. God’s love is not for what is convenient or pleasurable to us, but for what our spirit truly needs: to awaken and break free.
6. The intellect and emotions, which have long reigned supreme, will despair or go insane under the intensifying pressure of the Days of the Final Judgment’s radiation. But for the spirit, this is the opportunity to break out of prison.
7. Suffering comes for one reason: it is the last remaining way to awaken the human being to the purpose of life.
8. The great purification of everything built on false foundations will intensify. Each person is free to choose: keep suffering and lose the opportunity they were given to develop, or awaken and finally become a spirit-led human being.
In conclusion:
Those who choose spiritual consciousness will experience this critical period as the most important and even the most beautiful time of their lives, witnessing miracles and wonders, day after day!
