      7. Closing Words

      1. Introduction

      What I wanted to do today with you is just raise an issue that I feel comes up from yesterday's discussion first. The discussion we had yesterday was Relationship with God - The Eternal Benefits and I don't know about you but I found many of you in the audience quite resistive to the discussion about God. So what I wanted to do today was talk to you about why mankind is so resistive to discussions about God, and we can have a bit of a discussion about that particular problem. [00:01:26.22]

      Can I perhaps firstly give you a bit of history about mankind's existence and why this resistance towards God began? And then what happened with regard to the development of religions that caused mankind to have such a negative viewpoint of God. [00:01:46.11]

      2. The history of mankind’s relationship with God

      2.1. The first human couple chose rebellion and self reliance

      When God created the first human couple, and obviously when I say created them, he created the bodies in which they existed. So he created the first couples’ bodies. So, both of the bodies, the physical bodies and the spirit bodies were created by God, directly. The soul of course was already created by God, and the first human couple incarnated. When you talk to them, they don’t have a memory of being young like babies. They just incarnated and began their experience in an adult looking body, and as a result of that they didn't really have the same experience that many of us have had in the sense that we were born and we slowly absorbed things through our environment. They still absorbed things through their environment, but they weren't born in the same manner that we were born. [00:02:50.09]
