1717. But loving one's neighbour, creating real love for one's neighbour, could not be attained by a mere pat on the cheek, a friendly smile or loving, forgiving words; in brief, ordinary kissing and caressing would not suffice.Such visible expressions or signs of the as-yet superterrestrial love would of course also have caused outrage among the still very masculine and very feminine beings, leading them to hate and persecute – and no good would have come of that.This new sex was not yet of this world, and the signs of it could therefore be neither understood nor tolerated by the citizens of this world.But the world redeemer had an entirely different way of caressing.With his reserves of wisdom, his divine cosmic fount of wisdom, he could overshadow and embrace all living beings and thus be a perfect instrument for his Father's will, power and spirit, and be the "holy spirit" incarnated in flesh and blood.He could thus be a sacred fire, a flame that could gradually lift his beloved neighbour out of darkness into light, into the divine, lasting peace on Earth, even though he, in the first instance, was also hated and persecuted by this neighbour.He could thus caress in a way that was as yet completely superterrestrial and could therefore not be surpassed.Indeed, he was the revelation of the very culmination of love.With his Father's spirit in his divine being he caressed everything and everyone.He loved his enemies and prayed for those who hated and persecuted him.He revealed that only by loving all those who do not like us can we find the way to the eternal light.This love alone can make the living being one with its cosmic Father and source or turn it into the "human being in God's image".It was not so surprising that he could say that "I and my Father are one".
