from Jesus:
There is a great number of
nonmaterial beings who are willing to communicate with humankind. I
have explained elsewhere that the human
mind has the ability to act as a radio receiver. In this day and age,
more and more people are developing the ability to turn the dial of
consciousness and tune in to beings beyond the material octave.
The great need of the hour is Christ discernment so that people can
avoid tuning in to beings who have not yet ascended to heaven. There
are a great number of such beings, and many of them are eager to communicate
with people. Yet the very fact that they have not yet ascended should
make people wonder why these beings have not passed the final initiation
on the path. It is wise to consider that if you want to travel to a
certain destination, it is best to be guided by a being who has completed
the journey and knows the way.
Let me state clearly that no member of the Ascended Host would ever
recommend that you mix alcohol and spiritual exercises. Alcohol might
indeed enhance a person’s experience, but that experience will
not be a spiritual experience. I am sadly aware that numerous people
believe they have attained spiritual experiences as a result of taking
drugs. Regardless of how real such experiences might seem, this is a
very dangerous illusion.
The human brain can indeed, as a result of chemical stimulation, produce
experiences that bear a resemblance to spiritual experiences. Yet the
difference between such experiences and the real thing is like the difference
between watching a movie about flying and actually being in an airplane.
Let me also assure you that no member of the Ascended Host will take
over a person’s body and cause that person to speak with a different
voice. We can indeed speak through human beings and in so doing we might
project a part of our being into the person’s body and mind. Yet
we do not cause the person to become unaware of what is being said because
that would be a violation of the person’s free will.
Concerning the idea that people should not enter into a guru/chela relationship,
there is some validity to the idea that this can cause certain students
to become co-dependent upon the guru. In the physical octave, everything
is a two-edged sword. The Bible is given to people as a means to their
spiritual progress. Yet millions of people cling to a specific interpretation
of the Bible and therefore abort or slow down their growth. It is an
inescapable fact of life that the tools, which the Ascended Host give
as a means to people’s liberation, have the potential to become
a blind alley that cause people to become stuck at a certain level instead
of taking the next step on the path.
Many students develop dependency upon a guru. This is never good. However,
if the student has a true guru, the guru will always seek to help the
student overcome this dependency. Therefore, I disagree with the general
statement that one should never enter into a guru/chela relationship.
The fact that a tool can be misused does not mean that one should abandon
the tool. Imagine that a helicopter has come to rescue you. The helicopter
has landed on the roof of a nearby building. However, to get to the
roof, you have to climb the stairs. While it is true that you should
not become co-dependent upon the stairs, it is equally true that if
you do not climb the stairs, you cannot make it to the roof. The guru/chela
relationship is indeed a viable way to attain swift spiritual growth,
and for many people it will be extremely difficult to attain that growth
without an inner or an outer guru.
The key to overcoming the problem of dependency is to realize that the
outer guru is simply a tool for helping you attain conscious contact
with the inner guru, namely your Christ self.
It is possible to have only one embodiment on Earth. Before the Fall,
most spiritual beings had only one lifetime on Earth before ascending.
After the Fall, certain rebellious souls were given the opportunity
to embody on Earth. Some of them misused their opportunity in such a
way that they have bound themselves to the lower realms, and therefore
they were unable to return to physical embodiment. When I descended
to hell after my crucifixion, part of the purpose was to attempt to
reach such souls and help them get back on a positive path to growth.
