from Jesus:
An excellent question because
its highlights the state of consciousness, the dilemma, in which many
sincere spiritual seekers find themselves. It also highlights one of
the main purposes behind the creation of this website.
I am well aware that so many sincere spiritual seekers have been brought
up with a false image of me, an image that has been reinforced by orthodox
churches over the past 2,000 years. I am also aware that in order for
humankind to ascend to the next level of consciousness, a critical mass
of people will have to leave behind this false image of Jesus Christ,
and the entire consciousness of an outer Savior who is going to descend
from the sky and whisk away all of their problems with one stroke of
magic.
Yet it is precisely because of this awareness that I have decided to
sponsor this website. It is my hope that I can inspire many sincere
spiritual seekers to let go of the false image of Jesus without going
into the opposite extreme of rejecting me and everything I stand for.
One of the recurring themes on this website is that human beings have
descended into a state of consciousness dominated by duality. The consequence
of this state of consciousness is that in every area of life you can
find two polar opposites, two relative extremes. This is what causes
people to take a black-and-white approach to life, thinking that one
polarity is good and true while the other is false and evil.
When people are trapped in the dualistic state of consciousness, they
often tend to gravitate toward one of the polar opposites, one of the
extremes. In other words, people's viewpoints and behavior gradually
become more and more extreme until they break under the strain and can
no longer stand it. This has caused a number of souls on this planet
to take the orthodox Christian doctrines to the extreme in an honest
attempt to follow me (for many this happened in prior lifetimes). These
souls finally got to a point where they realized that the mechanical
or outer way of following Christian doctrines simply could not lead
them to a higher state of consciousness.
In itself, this recognition is beneficial to the soul, because the soul
now has the opportunity to get off the "way that seems right unto
a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death." Unfortunately,
as long as people are trapped in duality, they often tend to swing from
one extreme to the opposite polarity. The result is that once people
realize the fallacy of the orthodox Christian culture, they swing to
the opposite extreme of rejecting everything related to Christianity
and everything related to me. Thereby, they reject me as the true spiritual
teacher that I am.
It is my sincere hope with this website that I can reach millions of
spiritual seekers and help them see that there is an alternative to
going from one extreme to the other. That alternative is to reach for
the middle way of the Christ consciousness. The Christ consciousness
is not a compromise between the to relative extremes. When you attain
Christ consciousness, you transcend the relative extremes and the very
consciousness that created them.
When you apply this to what we are talking about here, you will see
that by taking the middle way, a spiritual seeker can indeed let go
of the false image of Jesus promoted by orthodox Christianity without
completely rejecting everything I stand for. You can therefore replace
the false image of Christ with the reality of Christ. You can find part
of that reality described on this website, but you can only gain the
full reality through a direct inner experience whereby your Christ self
and I will reveal that reality to you.
It is perfectly true that you can leave behind the “sandal wearing,
ginger-bearded, long-haired cliché of sunday school” and
focus on the universal Christ consciousness. As I explain throughout
this website, it truly is the Christ consciousness that is the key to
salvation. The problem is, as I describe in one
of the discourses on personal Christhood, that the universal Christ
consciousness cannot be expressed on planet Earth. In order to be expressed
on the Earth, the universal Christ consciousness must become individualized.
I was a spiritual teacher who came to demonstrate the individualization
of the Christ consciousness. As I explain throughout this website, I
was not the only person ever to have attained Christhood, and therefore
there are certainly other spiritual teachers who can serve as examples
for the path to Christhood.
Nevertheless, the important point here is that the spiritual path that
has been offered by the Ascended Host for many millennia is the path
of the Master-disciple relationship, in the East called the Guru-chela
relationship. It is a simple fact that as a spiritual seeker, you will
make faster progress by finding a spiritual teacher who can serve as
your example. This can be a person in embodiment or an ascended being.
The teacher becomes the open door whereby you can receive a portion
of the universal Christ consciousness. And until you reach a critical
mass of individual Christhood, you simply cannot receive the Christ
consciousness in any other way. In other words, you cannot directly
contact the universal Christ consciousness; you can receive the Christ
light only in individualized form. In the beginning stages of your path,
this can happen only through an external teacher, and when you reach
a certain level of Christhood, it can happen through the internal teacher
of your Christ self.
My purpose for this website is to offer people a more direct contact
with me as an ascended being, so that they can quickly rise above the
historical image of Jesus and tune in to the true spiritual being that
I am today. Thereby, I can transfer a portion of my individualized Christ
consciousness to them, as I did to my outer disciples 2,000 years ago.
Those who will take advantage of this opportunity and use the tools
I give on this website to establish a personal contact with their Christ
self and with me, can indeed experience a great acceleration of their
spiritual growth. They can then become my inner disciples in this age.
If people are not able to free themselves from the false image of Jesus
Christ, I have no problem with them finding another spiritual teacher—as
long as it is a true teacher and not one of the many false gurus that
peddle their wares in the marketplace. Many souls on Earth have a strong
soul connection to another ascended master, and they should focus their
attention on that master.
However, I do caution against the widespread belief among some New Age
seekers that you do not need a teacher. The Master-disciple relationship
goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, and even beyond. It has
been tested for so many thousands of years, and it has stood the test
of time because it works. It is simply the most effective means to attain
true spiritual progress. I talk more about this elsewhere.
It is important for all spiritual seekers to understand that the dark
forces, the forces of anti Christ, have built a very elaborate culture
on this planet that encourages people to rebel against their spiritual
teachers and the entire concept of a spiritual authority. I caution
all sincere spiritual seekers to avoid falling prey to these subtle
lies that all spring from pride and that are specifically designed to
appeal to the pride of the students, making them think that they can
make it on their own without a spiritual teacher.
Finally, let me also say that you are correct that I am not the kind
of outer savior that has been portrayed by orthodox Christianity. Yet
it is true, as stated above, that I have been appointed the spiritual
office of Savior for planet Earth. Take note of the subtle difference
between the statement “Jesus Christ is the Savior” and “Jesus
Christ holds the spiritual office as savior.” One implies that
I will save you, whereas the other means that I hold an office as the
main spiritual teacher assigned to teach you how to save yourself by
internalizing the Christ consciousness.
It is God’s decree that I hold the office as Savior and that no
one can enter the spiritual realm without going through my Sacred Heart,
as I explain elsewhere.
The consequence is that in order to enter the spiritual realm, a soul
must make peace with me as a spiritual teacher. For the souls who have
been affected by the false image of Jesus Christ, this means that they
must transcend that image.
Many souls do this after the death of their physical bodies, yet for
those who have found this website, why not take advantage of the opportunity
to transcend this false image while you are still in embodiment? By
doing so, you can make much faster progress over the rest of this lifetime.
You will also feel that abandoning the false image of Christ and accepting
the reality of Christ will be an incredible acceleration of your spiritual
growth and your sense of peace of mind.
Again, thank you for bringing up an important question.
