from Jesus:
As I explain throughout this
website, most human beings are trapped by the carnal mind that is based
on duality and relativity. As a result, many people have created the
mental image that if you are a truly spiritual person, you have to live
life a certain way. You have to withdraw from society and live in a
monastery or follow certain outer rules defined by a particular religion.
So I can understand why many people think that in order to pursue the
path of personal Christhood, you might have to start living like a monk
or nun.
However, as I also attempt to explain throughout this website, none
of the mental boxes created by the human mind can contain or capture
the Living Christ. In fact, one of the main tasks of a Christed being
is to demonstrate to people that you can live life in a way that is
beyond their mental boxes.
So there truly is no standard way for a person to walk the path of Christhood
or to express your Christhood. The path is individual, and as you attain
a greater and greater amount of Christhood, you begin to express your
true divine individuality. You will begin to be who you truly are, regardless
of whom the world wants you to be.
So it is not possible to create a standard and say that only people
who live up to the standard are truly Christed beings or are truly following
the path to Christhood. There are many people who have to go beyond
certain human expectations or social conventions in order to attain
and manifest their Christhood. That is why I challenged many of the
conventions found in ancient Israel, such as when I healed a man on
the sabbath and declared that the sabbath was made for man, not man
for the sabbath.
Another consideration is that in order to actually achieve your Christhood,
you have to balance the karma made in past lifetimes. This might make
it necessary for some people to have a family and give birth to children.
You also have to resolve any blocks in your psychology, and again this
might be most effectively done by having a family. Or you might have
made a vow to bring forth certain souls as your children as part of
your spiritual mission. In other words, your path to Christhood might
require you to be engaged in society in a variety of ways.
So the bottom line about Christhood is that it is not possible to create
an outer standard. Therefore, you cannot decide which your outer, analytical,
carnal mind how you should personally follow the path to Christhood.
If you do create such an outer standard, as many religious people do,
you will be following the way that seems right unto a human, but the
ends thereof are the ways of death.
You can follow the path to Christhood only by going beyond the dualistic
mind and attaining inner direction from your Christ self. To attain
the clearest possible direction, it will be extremely helpful to use
the techniques I give on
this website, such as the techniques for spiritual protection from outside
interference, the technique for transformation of imperfect energies
in your field, and a technique for attunement with your Christ self.
In the beginning stages of the path to Christhood, you will often get
inner direction in the form of intuitive insights. A good measure of
whether such insights are correct is whether they give you a sense of
peace of mind or whether they make you feel conflicted. Whenever you
sense an inner conflict, you know that you have not obtained the highest
possible insights. Therefore, you should not make decisions based on
a conflicted state of mind but make a determined effort to gain a clearer
intuitive insight. When you get the right insight, you will feel inner
peace (which is not the same as feeling that you can do what your carnal
mind wants to do). You will have a strong inner knowing of what to do.
Always remember that the carnal mind is dualistic, and this leads to
conflict and division. The Christ mind is one, and it removes conflict
and gives you peace. Therefore, strive for the unified vision of the
Christ mind. Remember my saying that if thine eye be single, thy whole
body is full of light. The meaning is that when you attain the unified
vision of the Christ mind, you will be filled with the light of God.
That light never fails!
As we move into the Aquarian age, it becomes increasingly important
that people take religion out of the churches and integrate it into
their daily lives. Therefore, there are many souls who have taken a
vow to pursue the path of Christhood while raising a family or being
engaged in society. Obviously, this can be more difficult than when
you live in a protected environment, but it is an important part of
the spiritual life of the new age.
