Why does the way we treat people on a horizontal plain determine our vertical relationship with God?

Answer 1

Jesus said,"In that ye have done it unto the least of your brethren, you have done it unto me." "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you have done whatsoever I have told you." "This is my commandment that you love one another." Also it says to treat strangers well because some of them might be angels. Jesus said, "By this shall men know that your are my disciples, if you love one another." And the word of God says: " How can you love God whom ye haven't seen if you can't love man whom you have seen?"

From Alice Bailey's DINAII page 190:

Now ready to build his own cross upon which he takes his stand - with his hands stretched out in blessing.

The Vertical Life

God, or the divine Reality, veiled by all forms.
The polar opposite to this, i.e., the matter in which this divine nature is expressed.
The method, based on ray tendencies, of this revelation.
The polar opposite, i.e., achievement. The trained disciple works always from the angle of achievement, of attained success. This attitude he assumes as regards himself, the serving disciple, and the work to be done.

The Horizontal Life

1. Unity. As a result of his successful vertical life, the disciple feels himself at-one with all life in all forms and with humanity in particular.

2. This works out naturally in understanding. Because there are absolutely no barriers present, and there is also no realization of difference, the disciple can "tune in" on the life in all forms, and therefore enter into a full measure of inclusiveness, with all that that word implies.

3. His motivation is that of goodwill, which is a growing potency as the will-to-good begins to affect him. . .The goodwill of the masses is based on innate divine tendency. .

4. This goodwill - as it is released - produces a normal expression upon the physical plane.

You have, consequently, the crosses (+ X) which - when superimposed, provide a most interesting chart for the disciple's life.

Answer 3

Our belief, gratitude and love for God should be evident in our relationships with other people. The way we love and honor others is a result of our love and following of God.
Treating people well does not come first and then our realtionship with God, loving God results in our loving other people - the vertical relationship reflects the horizontal relationships.

Answer 4

I am Rational Spirituality,

Because the horizontal plane is a testing ground determining your fitness for a particular point on the vertical line to God.

Read "Rational Spirituality" on the Dhaxem website. All is explained in it.

Although only conveyed from the Source in February 2006, it already is a major force amongst the thinking people.

Answer 5

Christians have been commanded to love one another.
1 John 3:11 This is the message we have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
1 John 3:14 If we love our Christian brothers and sisters, it proves that we have passed from death to eternal life.

Answer 6

Because both relationships are in the law of God

Answer 7

If you have a good relationship with God, you will have love in your heart for those around you and it will show. If you treat others with disrespect and do things not really Christ like, it takes away from the relationship with God as it pushes Him away because you are listening to Satan more when you do the un Christlike deeds.

Answer 8

OMG!! what a great relationship. It´s so good.
Really.

However the answer is simple: Jesus is in everybody. He told us: everytime you give food, water, ect to the poor, you´re giving it to me also. The 10 commandments may be resumed in one: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
