from Jesus:
There are two main ways to
define salvation. If you read my discourse on the levels of spiritual
development, you will see that some people are moving away from
God and have entered a negative spiral. As I explain elsewhere,
the soul was not created as an immortal being, and therefore it does
not have an infinite amount of time in the material universe. If the
soul continues to run away from God, its allotted time can eventually
run out and the soul is then lost, meaning that it is erased in the
second death.
When the soul does turn around and start the path that leads it back
to God, then the soul has been saved in the lower sense of the word.
If the soul is firmly anchored on the spiritual path and is committed
to following that path, then it is quite possible that the soul will
be granted an extension, even if its allotted time should run out. In
other words, even if the soul has not fully balanced all of its karma
before its allotted time runs out, a soul who is sincere about the spiritual
path will not go through the second death but will be granted an extension.
One might say that when a soul makes a firm commitment to the spiritual
path, it has been saved from the downward spiral. However, I must caution
that many Christians are not correct when they say that by becoming
members of a Christian religion and declaring me as their Lord and Savior
they have been saved. It is not the outer actions but the inner commitment
of the soul that counts. Some Christians do indeed have the sincerity
and the commitment to growth that anchors them on the path to salvation.
Yet others make the mistake of thinking outer actions and outer church
affiliation will save them.
The higher meaning of the word salvation is that the soul permanently
ascends to the spiritual realm. This is the process that I came to demonstrate
through my resurrection and ascension. As you are aware, if the soul
has not balanced its karma and fulfilled its reason for descending into
the material universe, it will have to come back into another lifetime.
This is the wheel of rebirth that is correctly described by many Eastern
religions, and this teaching was also part of early Christianity because
I taught it to my disciples, as explained elsewhere.
When the soul balances all karma and fulfills its purpose in the material
world, it can permanently ascend to the spiritual realm. At that point,
the soul becomes immortal and this is the highest meaning of the word
salvation.
One might say that the turnaround of a soul is a temporary salvation
because the soul could still decide to go backward on the path. After
the soul wins its ascension, its salvation becomes permanent and it
will no longer have to come back to the material realm (unless it chooses
to do so for a specific purpose).
You ask whether salvation means going to Heaven in the afterlife, yet
as I have just explained a soul cannot permanently ascend to Heaven
until it has transcended the wheel of rebirth. You are, however, correct
that many souls do go to a higher realm between embodiments. If you
read my discourse on the levels
of the material universe, you will see that there are three other
levels beyond the material realm. A soul can abide in one of these levels
between embodiments. However, even in the spiritual realm (what most
people call Heaven) there are many levels, and some souls do indeed
go to some of the lower levels of the heaven world between embodiments.
Obviously, this does not mean that the souls can stay there permanently,
because a soul will still have to descend into a new embodiment in order
to win its permanent ascension.
You ask if everyone is saved if they choose God after death, and the
answer is that they are not. The deciding factor is not what souls do
after death but what they do when they are still alive on this planet.
It is here that your soul made the karma that jeopardized its salvation,
and it is here that the soul must balance that karma. It is here that
the soul made the imperfect choices that jeopardized its salvation,
and it is here that the soul must make better choices.
This is not to say that the soul cannot study and resolve it psychology
in between embodiments. Many souls do indeed make spiritual progress
between embodiments. Nevertheless, the soul cannot simply choose God
and be saved. Most souls have built a very complex psychology that springs
from countless imperfect choices, and that psychology simply cannot
be unraveled through one choice.
Christians are in error when they claim that anyone who declares Jesus
Christ to be his or her Lord and Savior will automatically be saved.
This simply will not work, and unfortunately the result is that many
souls go through a rude awakening when their bodies die and they discover
that they are not saved even though they were Christians. This causes
some souls to become angry at God, angry at myself or angry at Christianity.
This is one of the main reasons that you see so many people in today’s
world who are very negative toward religion and especially toward Christianity.
They subconsciously sense that they were cheated by orthodox Christianity
in a past life, and they blame me or God instead of realizing that the
orthodox Christian doctrines were man-made and where never given by
me. Obviously, this is because the souls do not want to take responsibility
for themselves, yet these are precisely the kind of souls that are attracted
to churches that promise an automatic salvation.
You are correct that Christ consciousness is something that the soul
develops throughout its many lifetimes—that is, as long as the
soul has turned around and started the path that leads back to God.
If you have a lifetime in which you make spiritual progress, you will
come into your next lifetime building upon that progress and any progress
you have made in between embodiments. The reverse is also true. If you
take steps backward on the spiritual path, your next lifetime will start
at that lower level.
You say:
This website is
changing my life on a daily basis, and I really feel like I am starting
to communicate with you from within.
These words warm my heart.
It has indeed never been my intention that people would use this website
as a substitute for the direct inner communion with me or another member
of the Ascended Host. One of the main purposes behind this website is
to show that it is possible for a human being to attain direct communion
with the Ascended Host. What one person has done, all people have the
potential to do.
Obviously, this does not mean that everyone needs to write books or
create websites or even share their communication with anyone else.
It does, however, mean that every human being has the potential to attain
communion with his or her Christ self and with a member of the Ascended
Host to whom that soul has a particular spiritual bond. Through this
communion you can receive profound answers to your questions about spiritual
matters and you can receive directions concerning practical matters
that will relate to your personal situation and how you can use the
challenges you face as a springboard for spiritual growth.
It is indeed my hope that all those who visit this website and approach
it in a sincere manner will sooner or later be raised to the recognition
that they too can attain direct communion with me. Prove me now herewith,
saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven,
and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it (Mal 3:10 ). Make a sincere effort to use the tools given
on this website to establish your attunement
with your Christ self, and I shall indeed pour you out a blessing
of insight, understanding and love that your outer mind shall barely
be able to contain it.
