from Jesus:
My beloved son, because I
know you are willing to come up higher, I will use your response as
an example of what can happen to people when one of their long-held,
fundamental beliefs is challenged. You say that the truth cannot hurt,
but that statement is not universally true. If a person has become emotionally
attached to an idea or belief that is out of touch with truth, then
it can indeed hurt emotionally when that person is presented with the
truth. It can be painful for a person to acknowledge and admit that
the long-held belief, which the person believed was absolutely true, has
indeed been in error all along. And this causes many people to seek
to avoid the pain by denying the truth that challenges their existing
beliefs—as do many of the people who find this website and are
not willing to know the truth about me.
When people do have emotional attachments, they often tend to go into
a response that one might call the "all-or-nothing" or the
"black-and-white" response. If people are not willing to let
go of their long-held belief and accept the truth that can replace the
belief, then they have no other option than to somehow seek to refute,
question or discredit the truth or the source bringing forth that truth.
This causes people to take things to the extreme and look at it from
a black-and-white perspective. In other words, if this new idea is true,
then my existing beliefs must be completely false, and since my beliefs
can’t be completely wrong, the new idea must be false.
In your case, you are saying that if my statements about rock music
are true, then your son's involvement with music is completely false.
You seem to be taking the perspective that he must play rock music or
no music at all. You also seem to be saying that if my statements are
true then they indicate that there is something that exists outside
of God, and since you believe that cannot be the case, then you question
my statements. In other words, either my statements are true or your
beliefs are false. Allow me to show you an alternative response to this
situation.
Let us begin by acknowledging that planet Earth is a crossroads. There
are many different types of souls who embody on this planet. Some of
these souls have never rebelled against God and have no desire to rebel
against God. These souls are what one might call Holy or innocent souls.
They are souls that are completely committed to good, and as a result
they cannot understand how anyone could willfully rebel against God’s
law and God’s intent. This makes them reluctant to accept the
existence of evil or souls who are committed to evil.
One might say that these souls have mastered my call to become as little
children. They have the innocence of a child, and it makes them approach
life with the basic assumption that everything must be good. What you
need to understand is that some of these souls have been very shocked
by the conditions found on planet Earth. They carry in their soul memory
the image that everything should be only good and that everything should
follow God’s law. This soul memory is true as far as the spiritual
realm is concerned. Unfortunately, as I explain throughout this website
especially in the section
on evil, it is not currently true for planet Earth.
Because such souls are greatly shocked by the conditions on this planet,
many of them go into a state of denial, in which they simply refuse
to acknowledge the existence of evil on Earth. This causes such souls
to become easy prey for the dark forces, because no one is more easily
fooled than people who refuse to believe that anyone is trying to fool
them. These souls cannot understand my call to be wise as serpents and
harmless as doves. These souls are naturally harmless as doves, and
they believe that in a perfect universe this is all that should be needed.
My friend, these souls are correct. In a perfect universe, harmlessness
as a dove is all that is required for your ascension. What these souls
do not understand is that the Earth is not a perfect planet.
As Mother Mary so beautifully explains in her discourse,
Earth serves as a platform for people's experiments with their free
will. Even those who have never rebelled against God’s law can
make mistakes when exercising their free will. This is allowed on planet
Earth. As a result of this tolerance for error, certain lifestreams,
who deliberately rebelled against the will of God in the spiritual realm,
have been allowed to embody on planet Earth. These lifestreams have
come to this planet with the desire to prove God wrong, as my beloved
mother explains. They have created conditions on this planet that are
a far cry from the original vision of God.
These rebellious beings are using their self-created conditions in a
deliberate attempt to cause people to misqualify the energies of God
and prevent them from ascending to the spiritual realm. In other words,
there are many activities on this planet that are deliberately designed
to cause people to misqualify God’s energy. One of those activities
is discordant music, which forces the energies of God to flow in the
opposite direction than was intended. Let me return to that later.
For now, I want to address your statement that there is good in everything
and that nothing can exist outside of the Father-Mother God. When you
step back from the situation on planet Earth and look at the overall
perspective, it is correct that nothing can exist outside of the Father-Mother
God. As explained in many places on this website, everything is created
from the energy of God. Therefore, God is in everything, no matter what
the outer appearance. The importance of this realization is that even
if something appears to be dark or evil, that outer appearance is only
a temporary disguise. Behind the temporary appearance is the pure energy
of God. Because the energies of God are in everything, any appearance,
no matter how dark or evil, has the potential to be transformed back
into the original purity of the light of God. This is indeed the very
basis for the concept of salvation. If God was not in everything, nothing
could be saved.
However, you need to add to this the concept of free will. As Mother
Mary explains, Lucifer descended into a lower state of consciousness
in which he saw himself as separated from God. In reality, this sense
of separation was an illusion. Nothing can be separated from God because
everything exists inside of Gods being, Gods consciousness, and everything
has the energies of God inside of it. Nevertheless, when it comes to
self-conscious beings that have free will, they can choose to create
the illusion that they are separated from God or in opposition to God.
They can then choose to create conditions that are out of alignment
with the laws and the creative intent of God.
So you now see that such conditions do not have good in them. They have
God in them, but they do not have good in them. As
I explain throughout this website, human beings have descended into
a carnal state of mind in which everything seems relative. Therefore,
they define good and evil as relative concepts. There is, however, an
absolute definition of good and evil. The absolute definition of good
is that which is in perfect harmony with God’s law and God’s
creative intent. The absolute definition of evil is that which is out
of harmony with God’s law and intent.
Something, which is out of harmony with God’s law, does not have
a good in it; it does not have absolute good in it. It still has God
in it, and therefore it has the potential to become realigned with God’s
law. However, for that potential to become manifest, the being, or beings,
who created the imperfect manifestation must make the decision to realign
itself with God’s law. Until that decision is made, the imperfect
condition will persist.
My point here is that there are many people on planet Earth today who
are committed to good but who are being manipulated by dark forces because
they are not willing to become wise a serpents. They are not willing
to admit that there are things on this planet that are not good and
have no good in them whatsoever. These people refuse to exercise the
discernment which is the hallmark of the Christ mind. The most important
function of the Christ mind is to discern what is of God, meaning what
is in harmony with God’s law and intent, and what is not of God.
I need these people to come out of their state of denial and acknowledge
the responsibility they have to put on the mind of Christ and thereby
serve God in a much higher capacity than they are now doing. It has
been said that for evil to triumph, it only takes that good people do nothing,
and it is true. Evil is currently dominating many aspects of life on
planet Earth precisely because the good people will not recognize the
existence of evil and will not discern between what is of God and what
is not a God. As a result, they do not take a stand for God, and therefore
God cannot remove the evil conditions on planet Earth. Until people
choose whom they will serve, until they come apart from the manifestations
of evil and be a separate and chosen people, God cannot pull up the
tares without also pulling up the wheat.
You say that evil is the result of ignorance, and that is true. I have
explained that in detail elsewhere.
However, ignorance cannot be removed through more ignorance; it can
be removed only by bringing the light of truth. Who can bring that light
except those who are committed to God-good? Yet to displace the ignorance,
you must become wise as a serpent so that you can see through the serpentine
lies that have influenced and infiltrated every aspect of life on this
planet.
In that respect, let me say that it is indeed true that all religions
on this planet have been influenced by ignorance, and therefore they
all contain false ideas and even a false culture. The entire purpose
for this website is to expose the false ideas in Christianity. There
can still be good in a religion because there are good people who are
members of that religion. Nevertheless, it would be better for all if
those good people became wise to the serpentine lies and made the effort
to realign their religion to the truth of God. For that to happen, people
must strive to attain the state of consciousness of the person who brought
forth that religion. You cannot fully understand the teachings of a
religion until you attain the level of consciousness from which the
teaching was given. Only by attaining the Christ consciousness can you
know the inner reality of Christianity. That is why this website seeks
to encourage people to put on that Christ mind.
You see, my friend, your
son has an obvious talent for music, and he came to this Earth for the
purpose of expressing that talent and helping to bring in a new and
higher form of music. This is his highest potential, but to exercise
that potential he needs to step up into the consciousness of recognizing
that not all music is in alignment with the laws and the intent of God.
If you carefully study my answer to another question about rock
music, you will see that I am not making a black-and-white statement
about music. What I am really talking about is that some music causes
the energies to flow down and become concentrated in the lower chakras,
and this kind of music binds people to the matter universe and holds
back, or even aborts, their spiritual growth. In contrast, some music
causes the energies to flow to the higher chakras and thereby enhance
people's spiritual growth.
Nature itself has a built-in rhythm. That rhythm is the basis for everything
that was created because, as the Bible explains, God created the matter
universe through the power of sound. The basic rhythm of nature is 4/4,
3/4, 6/8, 12/4, 12/8 and so forth. The human heart beat follows the
3/4 rhythm. Any music that is in harmony with the basic rhythm of nature
has a positive effect on people and on the planet as a whole. Any music
which is out of harmony with the basic rhythm of nature will have a
negative effect. This can clearly be seen by the scientific studies
that have shown that certain types of rock music causes plants to die,
whereas certain forms of classical music causes plants to grow faster.
I can assure you that what affects a plant will also affect a human
being, although the human being is a much more complex energy system
than a plant. Therefore, the effect is not as noticeable in the short-term.
As my mother explains in her discourse, there are beings who deliberately
and willfully rebelled against the laws and the creative intent of God.
Such lifestreams have a negative view of the harmony and rhythm of nature.
If you ask them about this, they will say that such music is boring.
Yet if you go deep into their psyches, you will see that they find harmonious
music repulsive precisely because it reinforces the harmony and unity
of all life. They don't want to be in harmony with all life or with
God; they want to rebel against God by destroying the harmony of all
life. And they will use music to destroy that harmony.
A number of these lifestreams have embodied on planet Earth, and in
past ages, that are not recorded by current science, they have actually
used music to willfully destroy civilizations and even cause the sinking
of entire continents, such as Lemuria and Atlantis. I know current scientists
reject this idea, but this is another example of how people will reject
the truth that challenges their comfortable beliefs.
Within the last century, a number of such souls were allowed to once
again take embodiment on planet Earth. This was done to give these souls
a final opportunity to abandon their rebellion against God. It was also
done to give humankind an opportunity to manifest discernment and avoid
following these rebellious souls. Some of the rebellious souls have
indeed turned themselves around and have started the upward path. Yet
many of them continued their rebellion, and they have become famous
musicians in the fields of rock, rap or other discordant types of music
and art. They have created a culture that is based on the idea that
anything goes and that “if it feels good, do it.” This is
what has led to the drugs and promiscuity that follow the rock culture
as a shadow. It has destroyed many lives and caused many people to set
back their spiritual growth for lifetimes.
The basis for this new musical culture is music based on the syncopated
beat, which breaks the rhythm of life. This forces the spiritual light
into the lower chakras, where it is released in a violent action. As
explained elsewhere,
the chakras are designed to release light, and therefore it feels good
when light is flowing through them. So even if light is forced through
the chakras, the flow of light will still produce a pleasurable sensation.
This is what causes people to feel pleasure during a violent release
of light, whether this happens through rock music, certain forms of
sex or other activities that force the light through the lower chakras.
When a man is raping a woman, he feels pleasure, but I am sure you agree
that doesn't make rape right.
There are indeed many people on this planet who can feel that a violent
release of light through the chakras is not good in the long run. Even
though it feels pleasurable at the moment, it actually drains you of
your life energy and leaves you feeling down, empty or depressed. Because
nature abhors a vacuum, this emptiness makes people vulnerable to dark
forces seeking to enter their energy fields.
This is indeed what happens to many people at a rock concert. The light
is forced out of their chakras, leaving their energy fields open to
demons that enter and manipulate people into taking drugs. This of course
drains their energies even more and leaves them open to further possession,
which can become a downward spiral that eventually can lead to suicide,
even the suicide of drug addiction.
Many of the people who have become victims of such dark forces through
rock music are precisely the type of innocent souls who refuse to recognize
the existence of evil. Such people are easily manipulated into giving
their light to dark forces, and because it feels pleasurable to release
the light, they cannot see anything wrong with it. And for many years
they might be able to engage in rock music, drugs and promiscuity without
noticing any negative effects. Yet there always comes a point of no
return when the person has lost so much light that there is nothing
left to sustain any kind of spiritual growth. The person begins to feel
empty and often looks much older than his or her actual age. You will
see that in many rock musicians and their followers.
Now let me return to your son's involvement with music. As I said elsewhere,
we of the Ascended host have a great desire to bring forth new forms
of music that will appeal to the youth without having the negative effects
of rock music. There are a number of souls who have chosen to come into
embodiment at this time to be the instruments for bringing forth this
new and higher form of music.
Your son has the potential to be one of those souls. This is indeed
his soul’s highest potential and his highest love. Yet to realize
that potential, he must strive for the Christ consciousness, which gives
him the discernment to determine which music causes the energies to
flow upward and which music causes the energies to flow downward. I
can assure you, that if he will seek first the kingdom of Heaven, meaning
the Christ consciousness, all else will indeed be added to him from
his higher self. He will then fulfill his highest potential and his
highest love concerning music.
However, to reach that point he needs to overcome any emotional attachments
to particular types of music that are popular in the current culture.
He needs to decide whether he will serve mammon, meaning what is popular
among human beings in a dysfunctional culture, or whether he will serve
God, meaning what is the true type of music that God desires to bring
forth.
As you point out, he is already able to create music that opens people's
hearts. Obviously, this means that the music causes the life energies
to flow upward through the higher chakras. He simply needs to study
music and to seek attunement with his Christ self, so that he can perfect
his ability to open people's hearts through music.
So he needs to decide whether he wants to be the instrument for bringing
forth a higher form of music that can open people's hearts to God, or
whether he wants to practice the music that is popular in the current
culture? Does he want to reinforce the current culture, or does he want
to help bring forth a new and higher culture?
I am a spiritual teacher, and as such I respect the free will of every
person. My job is to give people the understanding that will help them
make wise choices. When I have given them that understanding, the Law
of Free Will requires that I must step back and let people make their
own choices. I hereby step back and allow you to choose this day whom
you will serve.
