from Jesus:
Let me answer your questions
one at a time.
Why is it so difficult
for the spiritual people of this world to accept that they are the
Christ?
This is difficult for two
reasons.
- Outer pressure generated
by the false prophets of this world. These are the prophets who have
built the cult of idolatry around the outer person of Jesus Christ,
saying that I was the only son of God and therefore the only one who
could manifest Christhood. These false prophets have built an immense
force, an immense beast, that has been running rampant in this world
for 2,000 years, and actually for a lot longer. This force attacks
people at the mental and emotional level and makes it very difficult
for them to a accept the idea that they too are sons and daughters
of God. Therefore, they have the potential to manifest Christhood
and do the works that I did.
- The inner cause, namely
a mechanism in human psychology. That cause is the person's pseudo
self or human ego. This false self acts as an inner force, an inner
beast, which also attacks the soul and seeks to make the soul think
and feel that it does not have the supreme self-worth that comes from
realizing and accepting that you are son or daughter of God.
Another aspect of this inner cause is that when you recognize that
you have the potential to manifest Christhood, you also recognize
that your entire life and your entire outlook on life needs to change.
For many people this would mean a complete turnaround in the way they
look at themselves and the way they look at life. It would also mean
that people have to make dramatic changes in how they live their lives.
Because the pseudo self is always reluctant to make changes, it clings
to what is familiar. Even if what is familiar leads to suffering,
people are reluctant to make this complete turnaround in their beliefs
and in their lifestyles.
That is why the false prophets are so successful in selling people
the dream of an outer, automatic road to salvation. This outer path
is the way that seems right unto a man, as explained in a discourse
that I consider essential.
In reality, the pressures
from the outer enemy and the inner enemy are so great that it would
be unrealistic to expect that anyone could instantaneously overcome
them. That is why this website stresses the importance of following
a gradual path. All you can do is to start at your present level of
consciousness and then use the tools I give to gradually raise your
level of consciousness, until you can finally begin to accept your Christhood
and exercise that Christhood.
So there simply is no shortcut, there is no instantaneous solution,
there is no magic wand that can instantly turn people into Christed
beings.
It seems to me
that the underlying cause is fear, and that fear is the Piscean legacy
of the fallen angels.
This is a correct assessment.
As some modern psychologists are beginning to realize it, there are
only two basic emotions, namely love and fear. You want to get close
to what you love, you want to attain union with what you love. And you
want to get away from what you fear, you want to attain separation from
what you fear. There are souls that have rebelled against God’s
law and God’s will for this universe. This rebellion started with
Lucifer and spread to many other angels who followed him when he left
the spiritual realm. The goal and intent of Lucifer was to remove himself
as far from God as possible and to create a world in which God is not
found.
Lucifer for and his followers want to get as far away from God as possible,
and this proves that they are motivated by fear. This desire to get
away from God is also influenced by many of the feelings that originate
in fear, such as pride and anger. Nevertheless, fear, or the sense of
separation, the desire to get away from, is the primal emotion from
which all negative human emotions originate.
The last 2,000 years represented, as I explained elsewhere,
an age in which people were meant to see and accept themselves as sons
and daughters of God. Therefore, during these past 2,000 years, the
fear of being or the fear of encountering the Christ has been the predominant
fear on this planet. So you might well say that the fear of being the
Christ is the legacy of the fallen angels for the Piscean age.
How do we love enough to overcome this fear which stands in
the way of our Victory.
The all-important lesson
that I am trying to get across throughout this website is that what
once you have descended into and become trapped by the carnal mind,
you cannot use that state of consciousness to free yourself. In other
words, you cannot solve a problem from the same state of consciousness
that created the problem. You need an outer Savior who can show you
the path, the inner path, whereby you can gradually regain your contact
with the inner savior of your Christ self.
The key to overcoming fear is love, however it is not human love. Human
love cannot overcome fear. What can overcome fear is the perfect love
which casts out all fear. That perfect love is the unconditional love
of God, and you can receive and experience that love only through your
Christ self or through an outer teacher who has attained union with
his or her Christ self.
This explains why there is no instantaneous salvation and no instantaneous
process for obtaining Christhood. What prevents you from experiencing
the perfect love of God are the false beliefs, the psychological wounds,
and the negative energy that have accumulated in your subconscious mind,
or your personal energy field. So to start the spiritual path that leads
to Christhood, you must begin by doing the hard work of removing and
resolving these obstacles.
As a visual illustration, imagine that your consciousness is a kaleidoscope.
Throughout your many embodiments in the dense state of consciousness
that has dominated this planet for thousands of years, you have accepted
many false beliefs, received many psychological wounds and generated
some misqualified energy. This would be compatible to putting colored
pieces of glass into the kaleidoscope of self. When too many colored
pieces of glass have accumulated in the kaleidoscope, the pure light
of God cannot shine through to your conscious mind. Therefore, you cannot
experience the unconditional love of God which truly rains upon the
just and unjust. This love is always available to you, but you either
do not see it or you cannot accept that you are worthy to receive it.
The only way to break the stalemate is to systematically start removing
the colored pieces of glass in the kaleidoscope of self. As you clear
away the debris, you will gradually begin to experience the unconditional
love of God, and as this love shines into your consciousness, the darkness
of fear will naturally disappear. So the way to love enough and to overcome
fear is to clear your consciousness, so that the unconditional love
of God can flow through you.
You cannot produce love with the lower mind. You can allow your mind
to be a pipeline through which the love of God can flow into this world.
How do we know that we have this obstacle, when it can manifest
in so many subtle ways. Is there a yardstick that we can use to let
us know that we are the victim of this Piscean Planetary beast of
fear?
The most important commandment
I gave was to love God with all your heart mind and soul and to love
your neighbor as yourself. The key to loving is to realize that I was
not talking about human love. I was talking about divine love. Divine
love is unconditional, and when you understand the meaning of the word
“unconditional” you realize that divine love is not blind.
Human love is centered around the lower self or the ego, and that is
why it is blind. Divine love is unconditional and therefore it sees
everything.
So when you have divine love, you are able to discern what is of God
and what is not of God. Therefore, your love is not simply a soft, mushy,
touchy-feely love. It is a discerning love, and that is why so many
Christians have misunderstood my mission. So many Christians see me
as a feel-good Master, when the scriptures themselves show me as a Master
who directly challenged those who were out of alignment with the truth
of God. When I challenged the lawyers, the Pharisees and the scribes,
I was expressing divine love because I was telling these people that
they could not continue in their ways but had to come up higher in consciousness.
Yet at the same time I did not condemn or judge these people in a human
way. I had no negative feelings towards these people, I was simply uncompromising
in challenging that which was not of God.
So the best yardstick I can give you is to consider whether you love
people with an unconditional love that is not blind. You should love
people unconditionally, meaning that you do not judge them or look down
upon them because they make mistakes or express imperfections. At the
same time, you do not fall into the trap of thinking that loving someone
means that you have to tolerate everything they do. You realize that
true love means that you simply cannot let someone get away with hurting
themselves or other people by violating the laws of God.
Unless we are able to see this energy in ourselves and be
able to overcome it by perfect love, we have no chance of becoming
the Christ.
You are correct that is it
is extremely important for people to be able to see any vestiges of
fear and to see the human consciousness in themselves. This is described
in my parable about seeing the splinter in your brother’s eye
but failing to see the mote in your own. Yet there is no guaranteed
way to make people see their own imperfections or decide to do something
about them. In fact, the essence of the carnal mind is that it makes
you unable to see God's truth; it makes you spiritually blind.
Obviously, if a person is open to spiritual growth, that person can
do much by simply deciding that he or she is willing to take a look
in the mirror and make an effort to overcome that which is not in accordance
with Christ love. Yet there is no way to force the soul to come to that
point. Some souls literally have to go through the school of hard knocks,
and they will not wake up until they experience as severe crisis.
Please give us the key to our freedom.
The key to your freedom is
truly the perfect love which casts out fear. And the key to experiencing
that love is to understand the difference between human and divine love.
I have explained that difference in great detail elsewhere.
