✧ Opening Prayer — Prayer of the Living Heart
O Infinite Source of Light,
Awaken in me the Love that transforms all things.
Let my soul shine stronger than fear,
For I am born from the Fire of Divine Love.
Amen — and Ascent.
❖ The False Command of Negation
Aragón argues:
“To free ourselves we must deny everything – emotions, desires, even our very being.”
(Herrou Aragón, The Forbidden Religion)
This is the doctrine of annihilation, not enlightenment.
It asks us to:
-
Erase ourselves
-
Destroy our humanity
-
Suppress the soul’s living qualities
-
Reject even the capacity to love
This is not liberation —
it is spiritual suicide.
❖ What Divine Revelation Actually Teaches
Love is the very essence of the ultimate reality:
-
“God is Love.” — 1 John 4:8
-
“Love is stronger than death.” — Song of Songs 8:6
-
“Love is the law, love under will.” — Hermetic tradition
-
“Where love is, God is.” — Mahāyāna teaching
To deny love is to deny God.
To deny love is to deny the soul.
To deny love is to deny healing.
To deny love is to deny truth.
❖ Desire Transformed — Not Destroyed
The Forbidden Religion insists on:
“Eliminating desire completely.”
But desire is raw spiritual power.
Untamed → attachment
Purified → Will of God in motion
Desire is the upward pull of Spirit on the soul.
It becomes holy when directed toward:
-
Truth
-
Goodness
-
Beauty
-
God
-
Others
-
The awakening of all beings
❖ Emotion — The Language of the Soul
The book says to crush emotion.
But emotion is how the soul:
-
experiences compassion
-
bonds through love
-
responds to spiritual beauty
-
receives intuition
-
transforms through grief and joy
Emotion is the climate of spiritual growth.
❖ Ministry Teaching
Love is the ground of being.
Emotion is the song of the soul.
Desire is the flame that rises.
To suppress these is to minimize God’s work in you.
To embrace them wisely is to let God finish what He began:
The Spirit in you becoming the Love of God.
❖ Reader Affirmation
I welcome holy desire.
I honor my emotions as sacred messengers.
I love, therefore I am.
And God loves through me.

🌟 ILLUMINATED EDITION
✧ Sacred Text
The false doctrine fears Love
because Love reveals God’s true claim
upon the soul.
Love dissolves despair,
unasks every lie,
and restores the face of the Beloved
within us.
The heart knows
what the mind unawakened denies:
We rise
because Love Itself rises in us.
Negation is silence.
Love is Symphony.
Negation is emptiness.
Love is overflowing Presence.
Negation is fear.
Love is God.

The Adversary is the shadow that reveals Light
-
Spiritual testing = Soul empowerment
