Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts: Immersion in the Divine Will
We continue our discussion of the spirituality of the Chambers of the United Hearts with two Messages that introduce us to the Sixth and last Chamber of the United Hearts – Immersion in the Divine Will. We first look at a Message given by St. Thomas Aquinas on April 2, 2007, in which he discusses the basic differences between the Fifth and Sixth Chambers of the United Hearts. In this Message St. Thomas says:
"I have come to help you understand the difference between the Fifth and the Sixth Chambers. The Fifth Chamber is Union with the Divine Will. When two things are united, they are still distinguishable as separate entities – like the Two Hearts in the United Hearts Image." However, St. Thomas said: "… the Sixth Chamber is even more. In the Sixth Chamber the human will is immersed in the Divine Will so that they are, so to speak, mixed together. No longer can one be distinguished from the other. As St. Paul said, 'It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives through me.' The two wills – the Divine Will and the free will – are blended together, one immersed in the other, to become one."
This distinction between the Fifth and Sixth Chambers was further highlighted in a second Message, which was given by Jesus on July 27, 2002, in which He said:
"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. I stand before you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity – My Sacred Heart exposed to you. I tell you these words: The Fifth Chamber of Our United Hearts is united to the Benevolent Heart of the Eternal Father (Sixth Chamber) through His Divine Will. There is no other revelation outstanding beyond this Divine Truth. Be in union with the Divine Will."
The Heart of the Eternal Father that Jesus mentions in this Message is the Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts. We know this by way of the series of Messages dictated by Jesus that were published in the booklet called, The Revelation of Our United Hearts: The Secrets Revealed, and that were also discussed with regard to the Fifth Chamber in Chapter 12. As the booklet states: "The revelation of a Sixth Chamber – the Heart of God, the Father – the Highest Heaven – began in April of 2003." Thus, in a Message given on April 1, 2003, Jesus says:
"I have come to explain to you the Sixth Chamber. It is the Heart of the Eternal Father. It embraces all the other Chambers of Our United Hearts. In this Chamber is God's promise – a new covenant of love. The souls that pass into this Sixth Chamber have reached the Highest Heaven. In this life, it is reserved for those who have already reached sanctity. In eternal life, the saints and martyrs of love who reached the Fifth Chamber move into the Highest Heaven. Since My Father's Heart embraces all the Chambers of Our United Hearts, realize He calls each soul to be immersed in this Highest Heaven. For to him who has faith, all things are possible."
This Message was re-emphasized in a Message given by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque the next day, April 2, 2003, as she said:
"The Sixth Chamber is the embrace of the Heart of God which is the Divine Will. The soul feels the embrace of the Father's Heart increase as his soul is drawn deeper into the Chambers of the United Hearts. This being so, please see that as the soul is drawn into the First Chamber, he feels the Father's embrace begin. Each subsequent Chamber allows the soul to feel the Father's embrace increase. The Eternal Father tries to draw each soul into the Highest Heaven."
The deeper the soul moves through the Chambers of the United Hearts, the more he is aware of the Heavenly Father's Provision in helping him become one with the Father's Divine Will. St Thomas Aquinas expressed this best when he gave a Message describing the soul's movement from the Fifth to the Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts on September 25, 2004:
"Every Chamber of the United Hearts is clothed in the Divine Will of the Eternal Father. The deeper the soul is immersed in the Chambers of these Hearts, the more he is aware of the Father's Will for him. When the soul reaches the Fifth Chamber – Unity with the Divine Will – he becomes the Divine Will himself. This union makes the soul one with the Father's Will. Passing into the Heart of God the Father – the Sixth Chamber – is the enthronement of the Father's Heart within the human heart. The deeper the soul journeys into the Chambers of the United Hearts, the more difficult it is for him to slip backwards through sin or human fault. The souls who reach the Sixth Chamber rarely leave. But then, few there are who reach the Sixth Chamber."
Obviously, to reach the Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts (which Jesus calls the Highest Heaven) is not an easy goal and is not attained through one's own merits, but is achieved only by the grace of the Father's Will, which is to say, by Holy and Divine Love.
In a second Message regarding the Sixth Chamber given on April 2, 2003, Jesus attempted to explain this grace in relation to the journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts, as He stated:
"I have come to help you understand this Sixth Chamber of Our United Hearts. When you try to comprehend what I tell you on your own, you get into trouble. I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. The Sixth Chamber – the Will of My Father – clothes all the other Chambers, and yet to reach it you must pass through all the other Chambers – for the Sixth Chamber is the Highest Heaven. So, how can you pass through it but not be contained in it? In order to get into the First Chamber, which is Holy Love, the soul must, to some degree, pass into My Father's Will – for Holy Love is the Divine Will as is every Chamber. At the beginning, the Will of My Father acts as a 'sieve' – filtering out iniquity and self-will, and helping the soul to hang onto the Will of God. With each successive Chamber, more of the soul's own will slips through the 'sieve', and more of the Divine Will fills the soul. The souls that do reach the Sixth Chamber – the Highest Heaven – either, in this life or the next – are consumed with the Divine Will and no longer exist alone – only in God."
As the Visionary, Maureen Sweeney-Kyle, had stated in a speech she gave about the Chambers of the United Hearts on May 10, 2003 (see the Foreword): "To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can say truly, 'Lord, I have no other will than Thine,' it is truly lost in God and united to Him." (Quote by St. Francis de Sales)
Such is the case with souls that are "consumed with the Divine Will and no longer exist alone – only in God," as Jesus said in His Message of April 2, 2003. In trying to comprehend the Sixth Chamber – the Highest Heaven – Jesus also stated in the last part of this Message:
"I cannot explain it in human terms. It is not a concept or a place. It is more of an experience. Certain ones may come close to this experience, but most never reach it."
In a third Message given on April 2, 2003, St. Thomas Aquinas came and further explained this experience occurring in regard to the role of the Sixth Chamber as follows:
"Understand that God's Divine Will is at work even outside of the First Chamber, for it is His Will that draws the soul into purgation – the Chamber of Holy Love. Moreover, the Divine Will never changes; it is always pulling the soul into the Sixth Chamber which is the Highest Heaven. It is the soul's response to the Divine Will of God which changes from one Chamber to the next – always deepening and perfecting until it is conformed, and then, hopefully, united to the Will of God."
What we learn here is that the experience of being or living in the Sixth Chamber – the Highest Heaven – involves much more than just that single Chamber alone, which is not a place but an experience.
In a Message given on April 3, 2003, St. Thomas Aquinas expanded upon the explanation of the Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts, (which is one and the same with the Heart of the Eternal Father and the Divine Will), as he stated:
"I have come to help you understand more fully this latest Revelation. The Heart of the Father is One with His Divine Will. The Divine Will is One with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Therefore, the Heart of the Eternal Father embraces all Five Chambers of the United Hearts. Furthermore, you must see that Holy and Divine Love, as well as Divine Mercy, are the Will of the Father. But the Will of God reaches out to those souls outside of the First Chamber – the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Jesus said in Scripture: 'No one can come to Me unless the Father draws them.' To take the understanding still farther, the Holy Spirit is also One with the Heart of God and His Divine Will. Therefore, the Holy Spirit engulfs every Chamber of the United Hearts. He gives His gifts according to the Will of God. The Sixth Chamber, then, is attainable to few on earth in its entirety, as it is immersion – not just union in the Will of God. However, because the Will of God cradles all the other Chambers and even pulls the soul into the First Chamber, we can say that the essence of the Sixth Chamber – the Divine Will – is ever-present. The Father's goal is to draw all souls into the Highest Heaven."
Jesus also gave a Message the next day, April 4, 2003, using the symbolic image of a beam of light to try to simplify the expanded explanation of the Sixth Chamber that St. Thomas Aquinas had given the day before. The Visionary, Maureen Sweeney-Kyle, stated in this Message:
I (Maureen) saw a beam of Light with angels alongside of it. Jesus stepped out of the Light. He said: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. This Light is the Heart of My Father in Heaven – His Divine Will. It reaches down to earth from the Highest Heaven and shines through every Chamber of Our United Hearts. It is only through this Light the United Hearts and the Chambers herein exist. At its source – the Heart of the Eternal Father – lies the Sixth Chamber. The power of this Chamber diffuses through all the other Chambers. Then it reaches beyond into the world, drawing sinners into Holy Love – the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. The Light of the Sixth Chamber will bring into harmony man's free will with the Divine at the coming Triumph of Our United Hearts."
In the beginning of this Chapter, we learned the distinction between the Fifth and the Sixth Chambers in terms of the relation of the soul's free will to the Divine Will. We further learned that a soul's experience of being or living in the Sixth Chamber was that which St. Thomas Aquinas described as achieving the Highest Heaven, which is one and the same as being fully immersed in the Heart of the Eternal Father or the Divine Will.
Based on these explanations of the experience of the soul which resides in the Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts, what, then, would the status of such souls be in relation to the Heart of the Eternal Father as they attain this most profound Highest Heaven?" In the booklet, The Revelation of Our United Hearts: The Secrets Revealed, this question was answered by St. Thomas Aquinas in a Message given on January 28, 2005, as he stated:
"Let us explore the Sixth Chamber – the Heart of God. In this Chamber, the Heart of God comes alive in the soul. The soul then becomes a living tabernacle of the Divine Will. Such a soul is always at peace, for he has overcome the temptation to pride resulting in impatience, greed, anger and every sort of debauchery born of pride. Such a soul exists in the Heart of God at every moment and with every breath. He lives to appeal to God alone and to please others as they are pleasing to God. Strive for this – it is attainable!"
We should take note here of the encouragement St. Thomas Aquinas and other saints of the United Hearts have given to souls to strive to reach this most profound Chamber of the Highest Heaven. For example, in a Message given on April 7, 2007, God the Father, in revealing the Flame of His Paternal Love, stated the following:
"The journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts is a pathway to My Paternal Love and My Divine Will. I do not want humanity to deem this final destination as unattainable. Right now, in this present moment, each soul has the way and the wherewithal to be transported into the Sixth Chamber – immersion in the Divine Will. It is true! See that I call you with the tender and caring Heart of a Father who desires to share everything with His children. Come, then, without delay. Desire to know Me better, to love Me more, to please Me in everything. I am waiting."
This was also reiterated by Jesus in a Message He gave the next day, April 8, 2007 – Easter Morning, as He stated:
"Understand that through this Mission and these Messages, I have opened the Gateway to the New Jerusalem and the Divine Will of My Father. This is a channel of grace long-awaited by all who desire to live in God's Divine Will. It is through the Chambers of Our United Hearts that you begin to live in conformity with My Father's Will."
Indeed, many graces have been poured out upon this Mission for the salvation and sanctification of souls so that as many souls as possible might be able to attain the Sixth Chamber – the Highest Heaven – which is offered to all. Jesus, however, lamented in the same Message of April 8, 2007:
"There are few, indeed, that are immersed in the Eternal Flame of the Divine Will (the Sixth Chamber); however, it grieves Me that so few try to set this goal before them. As you now see the light from My Wounds, I tell you, this Mission reflects this light into the world – not delivering souls from the Cross, but reflecting the Victory of the Cross. Do not live for this world and its allurements, but for the Eternal Now. Your life is not here, but in Heaven where I await you."
In providing us with this Message, Jesus was very clear in explaining what the ultimate goal and purpose of the spiritual journey is: that each soul should strive to achieve the Highest Heaven (the Sixth Chamber) in this life and thus, complete union (immersion) and eternal happiness (joy) with God in Heaven.
This was emphasized in a detailed and lengthy Monthly Message to All People and Every Nation given on May 5, 2007, on the 10th Anniversary of the Feast of Mary, Refuge of Holy Love, in which Jesus said:
"You must realize that the Eternal Father created time for the specific reason of each soul's salvation. Therefore, understanding this, realize your existence in this life is the opportunity for each soul to work out his salvation – his eyes fixed on Heaven. I sent My Mother to your midst as 'Refuge of Holy Love' so that She could lovingly purge you of your greatest faults and lead you to Me. I come to you as Divine Love to lead you to the Heart of My Father and His Divine Will. Understand that you are now existing in an extended period of grace and mercy, which will have to expire before Justice prevails and My Victory arrives. Do not waste these precious moments of time that My Father has allotted you. See that your own personal holiness in the present moment must be your priority. No wealth or power or reputation will follow you into eternity. Leave the love of these things behind, and embrace the Truth of Holy and Divine Love. Do not be mistaken in believing a lofty title, a big bank account or influential friends will earn you Heaven. Love of these things will only earn you a long stay in Purgatory, at best. Whether or not you believe in Purgatory or Hell does not determine its reality. Your exposure to Truth – the truths of the Faith, of Holy and Divine Love, and your acceptance or rejection of these truths – will bear witness to your judgment. It is not I who will condemn the liberal or save the one who lives in Truth, but the soul himself who decides against good or evil. It is always the same vice that leads you away from living in the Truth – that of inordinate self-love. That same self-love comes clothed in many forms – ambition, intellectual pride, sensuousness, vanity, power and many more; but it is under these guises Satan appeals to disordered self-love. I come, once again today, to call you back to the Truth and to the reality of your existence in time – not to make the most of this life, but to make the most of the next, earning for yourself the highest of Heavens – immersion in My Father's Divine Will – the Sixth Chamber. This is the reality – the Truth – you must focus on. All else is passing."
In achieving this ultimate goal of the Sixth Chamber – immersion in the Divine Will – the soul comes to the end of its spiritual journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts, for this goal is God's Will for all humanity – all peoples and every nation on earth.
As we approach the end of our discussion on the spiritual journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts, it might be wise to briefly review the importance of the soul's free-will choices in consistently progressing deeper through the Chambers of the United Hearts toward this ultimate goal of union and immersion in God's Divine Will, along with the motivational drive or impetus that provides the soul the desire to go deeper into the Chambers.
In a Message given during a Friday Rosary Service held on October 17, 2008, Jesus stated:
"My brothers and sisters, it is only through the passport of free will that the Chambers of Our United Hearts open to the soul. In a similar way, it is free will that determines the soul's depth into the Chambers. If you will to go deep, deep into these Sacred Chambers – even to the Sixth Chamber – it will open to you."
Obviously, the soul must freely choose with his free will to go deeper in following this journey of personal holiness through the Chambers of the United Hearts. However, this can become a stumbling block for those who do not have the innate desire or impetus to make the journey in the first place. This was brought to the forefront in a Message Blessed Mother gave on April 28, 2012, in which She said:
"Every journey has a point of departure and a destination. The spiritual journey is no different. It begins when the soul decides to depart from his old ways, and step forward in pursuit of personal holiness. His destination is the Sixth Chamber – immersion in the Will of God. The soul is asked to leave behind all personal baggage such as disordered self-love, unforgiveness, lack of trust; and to carry with him only love of God (his walking stick) and love of neighbor (his sandals). These two, which are Holy Love, help the soul to skirt any obstacle and to readily recognize the enemy where he lies in\ wait. The problem today is souls do not see holiness as a worthy journey to pursue. If a soul cannot even desire to make this spiritual journey, he most certainly can never complete it. Today, I desire your prayer be that souls re-evaluate their goals in life. Any goal which opposes this spiritual journey is unworthy and at best, passing. I cannot draw souls into My Immaculate Heart if they refuse to come. This is where your prayers make a difference. Prayer can influence free will, thereby influencing free-will choices. This is important to remember."
Hence, the soul's free-will choice to follow the journey of personal holiness through the Chambers of the United Hearts to the ultimate goal of the Sixth Chamber requires him to accept and trust in God's Will in every present moment. This was brought to light in a Message St Thomas Aquinas gave on his feast day, January 28, 2017, in which he said:
"The Sixth Chamber of the United Hearts is complete immersion in God's Divine Will. This can only be achieved through acceptance of God's Deciding Will in the present moment. That is to say, the soul accepts whatever happens in the present moment as God's decision. This surrender takes more than trust. It takes deep humility. The soul that continues to insist in his own way is not surrendering to God's Deciding Will. God chooses only the best for each soul towards his own salvation and sanctification. Very often it is a cross which brings the soul closer and deeper into the United Hearts, if the soul cooperates with the cross... Allow God to decide for you in humility. Ask Our Lady and the angels for the grace of acceptance."
In our final Chapter, we will explore and discuss in detail the concept and experience of the grace, which God calls Unitive Love – the highest and purest form of love that exists, and its relationship to the Sixth Chamber – the Heart of the Eternal Father. ♥
Choose to Accept and Cooperate with Grace
Our Lady comes as Our Lady of Grace. She says:
"Praise be to Jesus."
"Your puppy is getting special behavioral classes designed to protect her and keep her on the right track. It is good and should prove beneficial. I must liken this to Holy Love and the spiritual journey through Our United Hearts. This doorway of grace has been opened to all through the grace of these Messages. If the soul chooses to accept the graces offered, it will prove beneficial and he will receive much grace and protection of his faith. However, just as with your dog who must respond favorably to her lessons, the soul must cooperate with the graces given here. This is a movement of the free will – for or against My Invitation to accept Holy Love."
"So then, when you pray for someone's conversion and acceptance of these Messages and spiritual journey, pray that they accept My Invitation to do so with their free will. It is much more difficult for people to convert than for your puppy to learn to obey. People waste graces in worrying about what others think or what their 'yes' will cost them spiritually, physically or emotionally."
"A puppy has no guile or hidden agenda. A puppy wants to please his owner. Unfortunately, this is not so with many people who do not care about pleasing God – only pleasing themselves."
"Oh, that I could redirect the heart of the world."
