*The soul is made in the image of the Creator and the Divine Love is the Essence of the Creator. So the image becomes the substance with this blessing.*

It is Augustine, your teacher.
You all know the Truth within your souls. It burns brightly within you, my beloveds, and you all seek to understand this Truth as best as you can as you live your lives from your unique perspectives and your minds seek to know truth and you draw this truth into your beings. Yet the Love within your souls, my beloveds, is a singular Truth. It is not readily understood by the mind but fully understood by the soul. It is a blessing to the soul and without the possession of a soul you cannot receive this blessing, and the soul is made in the image of the Creator, and the Divine Love is the Essence of the Creator. So the image becomes the substance with this blessing, and with this blessing comes a whole chain of reactions and changes within your being. This powerful touch of Love creates a newness within you, an emerging true self imbued with many attributes and abilities that could not be manifested without this Gift of Love.
And in your world you seek to understand the world through your mind. This is because of your education and what has been put in your mind from a very early age. Yet God gave you other abilities and potentials that are inherent within your souls, and through these gifts and attributes that you possess deep within you, you will know the Truth, fully, richly, and beautifully. It comes with the Love, it comes through God's touch within you.
Seek the Truth in this way, my beloveds, seek to know your souls, who you truly are, a unique creation every one. Every soul is unique, every soul has unique attributes and combinations of gifts. Seek to know this, beloveds, to discover what lies within you, eager to be expressed in the world and eager to be enlivened by the Love of the Creator. And when this Love is within you in great abundance, the joy that you will feel, the awareness that will blossom within you, the true understanding of creation, of your Heavenly Father, of yourselves and of your fellow human beings will be very different from how you see the world at this time. It is coming, for some of you it is very close and it is the reward for your efforts to pray for the Love, to make those daily efforts to connect with your Creator in this way. A great reward, a wondrous blessing of life, true and wondrous life burning within you, guiding your way, this Light guiding your way.
Continue in your efforts, beloved students. Walk in the Light, seek the Love of God, and be an expression of this Love with every moment of every day. This is God's wish for you and in this will come many blessings.
God bless you, I am your teacher Augustine and I love you dearly, precious and beautiful souls who walk the Path Divine. And we shall walk with you, as we venture upon this road for all eternity. God bless you.

> [!abstract] Description
> Augustine teaches that Divine Love is a singular Truth fully understood by the soul but not readily by the mind, and that when God's Essence enters the soul it transforms the image of God within into the substance of God, setting off a whole chain of change and newness. He assures the circle that the rewards of seeking this Love through daily prayer are imminent for some, promising an awakening of soul awareness, a blossoming of unique gifts, and a wholly transformed understanding of God, self, and creation.
