from Jesus:
Thank you for asking some
important questions. Let me begin by commenting on your statement that
you were born Muslim. A person is born as a son or daughter of God,
not as a member of a particular religion. You might be born into a certain
religion or a certain religious culture that is imposed upon you from
early childhood. Yet your soul is more than the religion into which
you were born.
It is particularly important for people in this day and age to realize
that they are much more than the religious culture or the religion into
which they were born. As I explain elsewhere,
there are millions of people on this planet who have the potential to
manifest a high degree of Christhood in this lifetime. Many of these
souls chose to be born into a particular religion because they wanted
to transcend that religion on a personal level so that they could demonstrate
to other people that they are more than Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus,
Buddhists or any other outer religious label.
When you know this fact, you have an important clue to understanding
why you, and millions of other people on this planet, feel confused
and conflicted concerning their particular religion, religion in general
and their relationship to God. This is a product of the fact that your
soul desires to break through to a higher understanding of God and the
universal path behind all outer religions. Yet because your outer mind
has not yet found an understanding that explains the universal path,
your soul has not fully broken free of the limitations imposed upon
it by the religion in which it grew up.
When you understand this dynamic, you understand that it is very important
for you to contemplate religious questions and to seek to get answers
from within yourself. All of the teachings I give on this website are
aimed at helping people find answers from within themselves, including
sharpening their ability to discern between true ideas and false ideas.
If you will use the tools and teachings I give, you can indeed accelerate
the process of breaking free from the religion in which you grew up.
You can then embrace the universal spiritual path that runs like a golden
thread behind all outer religions.
We are entering a spiritual age in which humankind is meant to recognize
and embrace this universal path. Those who follow the energies of the
times will walk the universal path, even though many of them will do
so within the context of an existing religion. You can personally play
an important role in helping the progression of humankind by transcending
the religion in which you grew up and demonstrating that it is possible
to walk a universal spiritual path that helps people transcend all conflicts
in their relationship to God and in their relationship to members of
other religions.
In other words, when you see the universal path behind all religions,
you have transcended the consciousness that causes religious warfare
and conflict. This is especially important for Muslims, because currently
no other religion has a greater potential for causing religious conflict,
as I explain elsewhere.
Now for your questions. I love every soul unconditionally, but friendship
is not a one-way street. Therefore, I am only friends with souls who
are open to being a friend of the Ascended Master Jesus Christ. I am
happy to say that the soul of Muhammad falls into this category, and
I have indeed served as one of the spiritual teachers who seek to help
the soul of Muhammad ascend to the spiritual realm.
This partially answers your second question. I realize that this will
shock many Muslims, but the truth is that the soul of Muhammad has not
ascended to the spiritual realm. In other words, Muhammad is not an
ascended master, and this answers your third question. Muhammad is not
channeling information because he has not attained the status of an
ascended master.
As for what the soul of Muhammad has to say about today’s Islam,
he is extremely burdened by the violent turn that Islam took almost
from the beginning. He does indeed realize that he has some responsibility
in this, because he was not able to fully transcend the warring and
violent culture in which he grew up. He also realizes that because of
this fact, he was not able to receive the revelations from Archangel
Gabriel in their purest form. Although large parts of the Koran were
indeed delivered in their pure form by Muhammad, there are other parts
that were colored by his world view.
The soul of Muhammad has been in embodiment almost continuously since
his death in that lifetime. He has been trying to turn Islam from the
violent path it has started, the way that seems right unto a man, but
the ends thereof are the ways of death. He has indeed been embodied
in an Islamic culture ever since, and his soul was instrumental in starting
the movement that is today known as Sufism. This is indeed the only
remnants of the true Islam and the only part of Islam that is true to
the original purpose that we of the Ascended Host had for giving the
religion of Islam. Therefore, I encourage all Muslims to sincerely study
Sufism and embrace the mystical movement within Islam. Only if a critical
mass of Muslims will embrace the mystical aspect of their religion can
we avoid the large-scale conflict between Islam, Judaism and Christianity
that I predict elsewhere.
Muhammad claimed to be the Seal of the Prophets because he believed
he was meant to be the last major prophet sent to humankind. He believed
that the religion of Islam was meant to bring together the great monotheistic
religions of Judaism and Christianity and take those religions to the
next level. There is actually some justification for this belief because
it was the hope of the Ascended Host that Islam would serve as the ultimate
religion for the Arabic people—at least for a long time.
The religion was never meant to be a religion for all of humankind,
and it was never meant to replace Christianity or other major religions.
It was given to the Arabic people specifically because they had rejected
both the monotheism of Abraham and Moses and the higher dispensation
that I brought. It was therefore decided to give a religion to the Arabic
people that could unite them under the banner of the one God instead
of the many gods worshipped at the time Islam was released.
If the Arabic people had fully embraced the true, inner message of Islam,
namely the total surrender to the will of the one true God, then Muhammad
would have been the Seal of the Prophets for the Arabic people. They
would not have needed another prophet to bring them a new religion because
Islam could have been renewed through the tradition that you current
see expressed only in Sufism.
However, it must be acknowledged that Muhammad himself did not fully
understand what I have just told you. He was partly blinded by the pride
of his culture, a pride that he had not fully transcended on a personal
level. Immediately upon the spread of Islam, the pride of the Arabic
people, and their jealousy of the Jews as God’s chosen people,
caused them to reason that Islam was the only true religion. Their subconscious
belief was that because they had been chosen as the recipients of this
religion, they were now God’s chosen people and therefore superior
to all others. This is the exact same mistake made by the Jews after
the exodus from Egypt and by many modern Christians who believe that
they are better than others because they follow my teachings. This is
nothing but human pride, and it does go before the fall, which will
inevitably come unless people let go of their human and spiritual pride.
What I am actually telling you here is that although Muhammad was chosen
by the Ascended Host to be a Prophet and bring about a major religion,
he had not attained the spiritual mastery that was attained by myself,
Krishna, the Buddha, the Vedic Rishis, and the person who brought forth
the religion of Taoism. What I am saying here is that Muhammad had not
attained full Christhood when he was used as a messenger by the Archangel
Gabriel, and this explains why he was not able to bring forth an entirely
pure religion. Again, I know this will shock many Muslims—if they
were ever to read this message.
Nevertheless, it is the truth and it demonstrates why there is a great
need for progressive revelation in Islam, the revelation that has been
forthcoming through the tradition of Sufism but could be accelerated
greatly if more people would embody the true inner principles of Islam
and open their hearts and minds to being the messengers for a new teaching
on and a new acceptance of the universal principles behind the religion
of Islam.
It should be recognized by all that Islam was given a very long time
ago to people in a state of consciousness that was dominated by conflict
and duality. I am sad to say that, because of the misinterpretations
imposed upon Islam through pride and duality, the consciousness of the
Arabic people has not been raised as far as we had hoped. Yet there
is always a potential that people can quickly grow to a new and higher
level. That is indeed why I need those souls who embodied within Islam
for the specific purpose of bringing forth a higher understanding of
this religion to awaken and fulfill the mission for which they came
to Earth.
Again, I can only encourage any Muslim who might read this message to
make use of the universal teachings I give on this website and use them
as a springboard for understanding the universal message behind the
religion of Islam. There is still time for on awakening of Muslims,
but the time is short and the sand in the hourglass is running out much
faster than the majority of Muslims are willing to acknowledge. Let
those who have ears hear my words before my words will be proven true
bloodshed and war.
Please let go of all fear that I might leave you. I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world—meaning the end of the dualistic
world and the beginning of the unified kingdom of the one body of God.
