from Jesus:
As I explain throughout this
website and in the books, life is a path whereby souls gradually grow
to a greater and greater awareness of their true identity as spiritual
beings. No soul can be completely happy or at peace as long as it is
separated from its spiritual self, its I AM Presence. Only by attaining
union with the I AM Presence can the soul be fully at peace.
So the answer is that all true spiritual seekers should strive to ascend
to the inner planes. However, the only safe method is to walk the spiritual
path and strive for union with your Christ self. And you should strive
to attain this union while you are still in the physical body, so that
you can be the Christ in embodiment and express your Christhood in this
world. Thereby, you can help raise the consciousness of all human beings
and contribute to the raising of the vibratory level of the entire planet.
An important part of my mission was to demonstrate the path that leads
to the ascension of the soul. Because reincarnation, as explained elsewhere,
was removed from Christianity, most Christians do not have a clear understanding
of the process that leads to the ascension. In fact, many Christians
think that I was the only one who could complete this process. This
is a very dangerous fallacy that I would like to see all Christians
abandon once and for all.
The reality of the situation is that a number of souls made the decision
to eat of the forbidden fruit. This fruit was a symbol for a state of
consciousness in which the soul becomes aware that good and evil can
be defined as relative terms instead of the absolute good and evil that
all spiritual beings perceive.
Because these souls partook of this relative state of consciousness
before they were sufficiently bonded to their I AM Presence, they gradually
became lost in the lower state of consciousness and lost their connection
to the I AM Presence. This caused these souls to misqualify the pure
energies of God, which the teachings on reincarnation describe as karma.
As long as the soul has karma in the material universe, it cannot permanently
ascend to the spiritual realm. Therefore, the soul must keep reincarnating
until it has balanced all karma and requalified all impure energy. This
then becomes what Eastern religions call the wheel of rebirth, but contrary
to the teachings of many Eastern religions, the wheel will not continue
forever. Each soul has an allotted time, and if the soul does not qualify
for its ascension before the time is up, the soul will go through a
ritual called the second death and be erased as an individual soul.
Virtually every religious teaching on this planet talks about how to
rise above the lower consciousness and ascend to the spiritual realm.
This is what many Christians call the process of salvation. Unfortunately,
partly because of the loss of the teachings on reincarnation, many Christians
take a passive approach to salvation and think I will do all the work
for them.
There are many safe methods whereby the soul can rise to unite with
the spiritual self. Over the past century, the Ascended Host have sponsored
several organizations that brought forth new teachings and techniques
that are specifically designed to help spiritual seekers in today’s
age. However, you can also base your path on older religions.
To be effective, a spiritual teaching must give you the following tools:
- A way to requalify the
misqualified energy, or karma, that keeps you tied to the material
world.
- Teachings and techniques
that help you resolve all false beliefs about yourself, about God
and about your relationship to God so that you can voluntarily choose
to ascend back to the spiritual realm.
This is explained in greater
detail in the book The Inner
Path of Light, and you can find excerpts of that book here.
I also recommend that you use the tools given on this website, the tools
for spiritual protection, the
Violet Flame for transmuting
negative energy and the technique for inner
attunement to your Christ self. I also strongly recommend that people
use of the Christhood affirmations given in the book The
Christ Is Born in You.
What is consciousness? In its essence, Consciousness is God’s
substance and Being. The unmanifest aspect of God, what I call the state
of pure Being, is a state of pure consciousness. The creator is an individualization
of the state of pure Being, and he is conscious of his own existence
and his ability to create. An individual lifestream is an individualization
of the creator.
A new lifestream is not created with a full awareness of its oneness
with God. The lifestream is meant to grow and mature and gradually rise
to higher levels of awareness, until it can fully recognize itself as
an individualization of God and as a co-creator with God.
The unique individuality of each lifestream is anchored in the I AM
Presence, or spiritual self. At some point in the past, a number of
lifestreams decided to experience life in the material universe. For
this purpose, a lifestream, or I AM Presence, created an extension of
itself. This soul is made of lower vibrations that can enter the material
realm.
One might say that the creator is an individualization of the state
of pure Being, the I AM Presence of each lifestream is an individualization
of the creator, and the soul is an individualization of the I AM Presence.
The soul is simply a vehicle that enables a lifestream to descend into
the material universe and experience this level of God’s creation
from the inside. Obviously, the very fact that the soul is made from
lower energies than the I AM Presence makes it possible that the soul
can become lost in this universe.
Because the soul is the part that can act in the material universe,
it is also the seat of your free will. That is why the spiritual path
can be described as a process whereby the soul must gradually raise
its understanding so that it can begin to make right choices. Right
choices are decisions that bring the soul closer to God, as opposed
to wrong choices, or sins, that bring the soul further away from oneness
with God.
