Promises - God himself cannot release us from them

08/16/2014

Every promise, every commitment you make to another person regarding an important subject ties you to them, even if you only give your word, for your words are recorded on the etheric plane, and it is just as if you had made your promise in writing, as if you had signed a contract. No one can release you from your promise, with the exception of the person you made it to. If this person is kind, indulgent, understanding, they will free you from your promise; otherwise, you must carry it out in some form or other. And don’t say you are going to ask the Lord to release you from this promise. It’s pointless, as the Lord will not go against the laws he himself has set down. God is all-powerful, yes, but not in the way religion depicts him. Since the world he created is based on laws and he himself agreed to live in this world, he too obeys his own decrees. That is also God’s greatness: he does not whimsically overthrow the rules he himself has laid down. So he will not release you from your promises. He will tell you, ‘As you made a promise, there is nothing I can do. Speak to the person to whom you made the commitment.’
