If it were not for the grace of God, life on Earth as humans would cease to exist, there would be no second chances. It is through the abundance of grace of our Mathair ( Mother ) through the Dagda, that we are given day after day, life after life infinite windows of opportunity to return to the righteousness and right living. It is not of our own grace and righteousness that we are able to attain such a peaceful place of existence since we incur debt and heap upon our souls negative actions/sins ( Gníma ) through the course of our soul’s journey from lifetime to lifetime. Some people in the modern era teach that “We are God” minus the life of surrender to the greater God, which gives people the subtle notion that they are the creator of the universe itself and are bound by no rules except their own. People run away with this idea without having the fullness of understanding and therefore create sometimes a very lavish and materialistic lifestyle of individualism and selfishness.
The truth is, we are images of God, but we are not THE God of all that is, and we are limited in our power as humans and unable ultimately to free ourselves from lifetimes of karmic debt without the higher power’s ability to untie our souls from debts. Therefore we must pray, meditate, and do rites to attain grace through the High King in order to progress spiritually otherwise we can become lost & everything opposite of our true purpose of existence. Indeed, some people in their deep materialism believe they are found. Some in their delusion believe they do not need a God because of their attachments to the material world they believe is enough. They do not consider from whence their riches came, and by what power it truly comes from. They believe their own mind, their own power is enough. There are some individuals on this planet whom believe they are the God of the universe and believe they hold the cosmos in the palms of their hands and therefore are the reason why this Earth has currently been living in such times of great strife, how wrong they will be when their physical bodies expire.
We are learners of God, we are but children and we are to sit at the feet of correction from the High King Dagda, the master Druid of creation. We have the ability to create as God does, but we are only able to create with limitations. We are only able to create as the Lord allows. As humans we are able to build a life however we want, but however we build it will reflect our relationship to the divine and our duty. If our life lacks grace it will show in our actions and lifestyle. If our lifestyle is guided by God’s love, it will show. Its quite simple, you are free to create with limitations like the creator, but you reap the consequences of not following the law of the Gods. A life of prayer and meditation to God will guide the builders hands towards a greater perfection inwardly and outwardly.
It is through grace we attain inward and outward perfection, the Dagda’s grace is also our Mother’s grace. It is through prayer and meditation and rites that we attain this grace, and our worship and surrender maintains this consciousness, not as slaves to a tyrannical king but as servants of our divine parents.
