from Jesus:
When Moses first ascended
the mountain, he received a set of commandments that presented a higher
law, a higher relationship between God and man. The essence was that
the people needed to transcend their fear-based approach to God and
learn to approach God with love. They also needed to learn to respond
to all situations in this world with love.
As Moses descended from the mountain with these love-based commandments,
he saw the people dancing around the golden calf, which truly is a symbol
for the outer, fear-based approach to religion that causes people to
worship an idol from this world instead of looking for the true God
who is beyond this world a form. In other words, when people create
an outer image of God and begin worshiping it as God, they cannot make
contact with the true God who is beyond all form.
As a result of seeing this, Moses became angry. He decided that the
people were not ready for the law that he was bringing them. Although
this was a correct assessment, Moses did not quite understand that you
always give a teaching that is higher than what people are ready for
because the purpose is to encourage people to move up higher. Therefore,
Moses’ anger was not necessary or justifiable. It was the result
of unresolved psychology on the part of Moses, and it shows you that
even a person who serves as a prophet of the Lord can have certain unresolved
aspects of his or her psychology. This can cause the person to miss
the highest potential for his or her spiritual mission. So as a result
of becoming angry, Moses destroyed the tablets containing the higher
law.
Moses’ anger was the main reason God never allowed him to enter
the promised land. Again, the spiritual interpretation here is that
the promised land is a symbol for a higher state of consciousness, namely
what I call the Christ consciousness. You simply cannot enter that state
of consciousness as long as you have unresolved psychology that keeps
you attached to the carnal mind, the ego and the things of this world.
I can tell you that Moses did not ascend after his embodiment as Moses.
He had to come back for several embodiments before he learned to balance
the power of God with the wisdom and love of God so that he became more
balanced and joyful.
After destroying the love-based law, Moses ascended the mountain again
and begged God to give the people a law that was more adapted to their
present state of consciousness. God complied, and therefore Moses received
a set of commandments, a set of clearly defined rules for behavior.
These rules were not essentially different from the former law, but
they were expressed in a way that reflected the consciousness of the
people and of Moses. The people followed these commandments until I
appeared on the scene and gave people a more love-based law. Everything
in my ministry was geared toward presenting people with these love-based
commandments, but my Sermon on the Mount is the most concentrated teachings
on this. Although my Sermon on the Mount is not word for word what Moses
was originally given on the mountain, it expresses the same general
principles.
It is not correct that God’s finger or flames of fire burned the
original commandments onto the stone tablets. This is Hollywood taking
over in order to make a good movie. In reality, God worked through the
mind and hand of Moses to write the commandments on the stone tablets.
This is the principle that you see outpictured through many prophets,
including what you see on this website. God will work through the hearts
and minds of people in embodiment.
Although God sometimes uses a higher law that creates what might seem
like miracles, God prefers to work through human beings in embodiment.
His greatest desire is to demonstrate the miracle that God can work
through people, if people allow him to do so. This is another important
purpose for my ministry, and you see it in my statement that my Father
works hitherto and I work. That is also why I said that I of my own
self can do nothing, it is the father within me who is doing the work.
The point being that what God can do through one person, God can do
through anyone who will raise his or her consciousness and become the
open door for God to work in this world.
