from Jesus:
My main purpose
for this website is to inspire people to walk the path of personal Christhood.
As you walk that path and begin to gain conscious contact with your
Christ self, you attain the inner discernment that will allow you to
expose the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Simply apply the technique
for inner attunement to build
this discernment.
When you are familiar with the technique, take a picture of a specific
guru or a book written by that person and keep it next to you as you
apply the technique. If you will do this with an open mind and heart,
either your Christ Self or I will give you the answers you seek.
I will give you some general guidelines for evaluating whether a person
as a true or false Guru.
The main difference between a true and a false guru is that a true guru
will always work to set you free, whereas a false guru will seek to
bind you to the guru. A true guru has no need to bind you or to receive
energy from you, because the true guru can receive all the energy he
needs directly from above. A false guru cannot receive energy directly
from the spiritual self, so he must steal that energy from his followers.
It is important to keep in mind that human beings have a tendency to
look at things from a black and white perspective. For example, many
people look at a person who is giving forth spiritual teachings and
find one little thing about those teachings that they believe is wrong.
Then they immediately label that person as a false guru and reject everything
he says. This is an unbalanced approach.
My definition of a false guru is a person who is deliberately and willingly
trying to deceive people and take them away from the true path to God.
As we move into the Aquarian age, more and more people will attain direct
communion with the spiritual realm. More and more people will openly
admit that they have such communion and they will, as a natural part
of their personal growth process and the growth process of humankind
as a whole, publicize the teachings they receive through their personal
communion. This is part of a process that we of the Ascended Host support
and inspire.
Whenever you move into a new spiritual phase, there is always a process
of experimentation. This experimentation can be somewhat chaotic, and
it is inevitable some people make mistakes or receive teachings that
are incorrect or incomplete. However, a person has a right to experiment,
to make mistakes and to learn from those mistakes.
If you are true seeker, you will not simply reason that because a person
has made one mistake, meaning that the person might have brought forth
a teaching that is not entirely correct, then that person is a false
guru. In many cases, people are sincerely striving for communion with
the spiritual realm and they are doing the best they possibly can, given
their present state of consciousness. We of the Ascended Host encourage
all people to increase their communion with the spiritual realm. We
do not require people to be perfect before attempting to have such communion.
Therefore, we do not expect or demand that people should never make
a mistake. I encourage all true seekers to do the same.
You must also understand that although there truly are false gurus,
who deliberately seek to deceive people, this does not mean that you
should condemn yourself for having followed such a false guru. You see,
even a false guru will give forth certain true teachings, and you might
have followed that guru because you recognized the truth of those teachings.
What I am trying to explain here is that as a seeker on the path you
have to accept the fact that whatever you do is a product of your state
of consciousness. If you decided to follow a certain guru, then that
decision was the best you could possibly have done, given the state
of consciousness you had at the time. If you have now attained a higher
state of consciousness, a stronger personal discernment, and realize
that the guru you have followed is indeed a false guru, then do not
condemn yourself for making a mistake.
The path is a gradual process. You start at a certain level of consciousness
and you make decisions based on that state of consciousness. Hopefully,
those decisions will help you grow. When you attain a higher state of
consciousness, you can make better decisions. This does not mean that
your previous decisions were wrong or that you should condemn yourself
for making those decisions. If you are a sincere seeker, you are always
doing the best you can, given your current state of consciousness and
you are always striving to raise your level of consciousness. No one
can expect more. Therefore, do not condemn yourself for decisions made
in the past. Instead, rejoice that you have now attained a higher state
of consciousness and then use that state of consciousness as the springboard
for further growth.
I must tell you that conditions on planet Earth are far from ideal.
Many things on this planet are out of alignment with the truth of God.
Therefore, it is sometimes necessary for people to do strange things
in order to rise above a certain level of consciousness.
Most people have descended to their present level of consciousness because
they followed false gurus and false teachings. Therefore, it is often
necessary for people to come in contact with false gurus and false teachings
in their present lifetime so they can have an opportunity to see through
the falsity and rise above it. In other words, if you have followed
a false guru, it might have been a necessary part of your personal path.
In fact, it might have been a shortcut to your personal growth, because
it gave you an opportunity to see through the false teachings and distance
yourself from them.
What I am really trying to say here is that you should use every experience
you have as a springboard for spiritual growth. Do not condemn yourself.
Do not feel guilty for having made a mistake. Simply turn that mistake
around and use it to take the next step on your path.
