Answer from Jesus:
It is indeed a good idea to ask yourself who you are. Only you need
to continue to do so while you are in physical embodiment. For, my beloved,
who are you really?
Well, you are who you think you are and as long as you are in the duality
consciousness, as I said earlier, you have something you can transcend
and become more. So even though it is good to ask yourself, "Who
am I?" and even though you can receive an answer of who you are
in God, do not fall into the trap of thinking you have received a final
answer and now you no longer need to ask.
This is what has happened, indeed, to many people, who have had some
spiritual attainment, who have received some vision or direction. Yet,
they have then used it to think that now they knew everything they needed
to know or they had climbed as high as they needed to climb. And thus,
without any evil intentions, they have essentially become false teachers,
deluding themselves and misleading others into thinking that they have
attained some final state of enlightenment or attainment.
Thus, my beloved, it is good to ask, but it is also good to continue
to ask, for I must tell you that the answer you can receive right now
is a reflection of your current state of consciousness, in the sense
that the answer you can receive is limited by the openness of your mind
and heart—the openness to receive the answer. And so as you receive
an answer that is suitable for your current state of consciousness,
if you fully internalize that answer, you can raise your consciousness.
And then you are ready to receive an even higher answer.
So that is why I will impress upon you that it is good to ask, "Who
am I?" but you need to continue to ask it—and be realistic
and realize that you cannot receive the full answer as long as you are
in physical embodiment. My beloved, this is the folly of some who have
climbed the spiritual path to a certain level, who have done many outer
things and now they think they know all—and they know who they
are and so they have not anymore the humbleness of heart to continue
to ask the question with the open mind of a little child, being willing
to receive whatever answer comes to them.
They have then allowed their egos to take a previous answer –
that was a valid answer for the level of consciousness they had when
they received it – but which their egos have now turned into a
closed mental box—that in some cases they have used to set themselves
up compared to others or gather followers who now revere them as some
kind of guru who has attained some final state.
My beloved, it is possible to attain some state of enlightenment while
you are in embodiment. But do not be fooled into thinking that any person
who has ever walked the earth in a physical body has attained the highest
possible state of consciousness.
This is what I have commented on before—that there is no one who
is God incarnate on Earth
in the fullest sense of that word. And therefore no one has the full
absolute authority over anyone else.
