from Jesus:
There are many people who
find this website and are deeply disturbed by the possibility that I,
the real Jesus Christ, could actually be speaking through someone and
putting my inner teachings on a website that is available to all. They
are disturbed by this because they have created an image of me that
makes them feel they have me and my teachings under control. They are
disturbed by the possibility that I cannot be controlled because I can
speak through people who choose to tune in to me and be the open door
for the Living Word. So when such people find this website, they are,
consciously or subconsciously, looking for anything that will give them
an excuse for rejecting the website or my teachings on it.
There are indeed numerous teachings on this website that are available
for free, and certain parts of the books are also on this website. There
is, however, a spiritual reason why not all of the books are available
for free. To understand that reason, you need to understand the basic
spiritual law that guides the interchange between a spiritual teacher
and the students of that teacher.
This law basically states that the teacher is allowed to offer the student
a certain amount of teaching for free, meaning that the student can
receive that teaching without giving anything in return. When I say
giving something in return, I first of all mean that the student makes
a commitment to embody and apply the teaching and to follow the teacher.
The Bible tells people to freely give what they have freely received.
The teacher gives freely to the student, and in an ideal situation the
student will multiply the gift and give part of it back to the teacher.
When the teacher gives to the student, it is like one half of a circle.
Spiritual teachings and spiritual energy flows from the teacher to the
student. If the student takes the spiritual teaching and does not make
a commitment to the teacher, then the circle will remain open. Only
when the student makes a commitment and applies the teaching, will the
circle be closed. And only when the circle is closed can the teacher
release more light and teaching to the student.
When the circle is closed, a figure-eight flow is established between
the teacher and the student. The light of the teacher flows to the student
who then multiplies that light and sends it back to the teacher. The
teacher can then multiply the offering from the student and give the
student more light and teaching. This becomes a self-reinforcing spiral
that will gradually lift the student to a higher level of consciousness,
the level of consciousness attained by the teacher.
However, for the circle to be complete, the student must give something
back to the teacher. This is what is expressed in the law of the tithe,
where people give a part of their income to God, so that God has something
to multiply and give back to them. This law was created after the Fall
of Man, and it says that a spiritual teacher cannot continue to give
to a student unless the student multiplies the first offering. In other
words, the teacher is allowed to give the student an initial gift. Yet
unless the student multiplies the initial offering, the teacher is not
allowed to give any more to that student.
The law is explained in great detail in my parable about the talents.
You will notice that both of the servants who had multiplied the talents
received more in return. Yet the servant who had buried his talents
in the ground, and thereby refused to multiply them, could receive no
more and therefore lost everything. You might also consider the situation
where I multiplied the loaves and the fishes in order to feed the multitudes.
Why did I not simply manifest food? Because the law would not allow
me to do so. The law states that I was allowed to multiply what the
students had brought to the altar of God. They have brought loaves and
fishes, and that is why I multiplied them manifold. Had they brought
nothing, there would have been nothing for me to multiply and the multitudes
would not have been fed.
When you understand this spiritual law, you realize that this website
represents the initial offering that I, as the spiritual teacher, give
to the students, meaning those who find this website. It is my desire
to close the circle between myself and anyone who finds this website
and who is willing to enter at teacher-student relationship with me.
Yet for the closing of the circle to occur, the student must multiply
my initial offering and give something back to me.
The multiplication of the offering first of all means that the student
must internalize the teaching and make a commitment to raising his or
her consciousness. This has nothing to do with any outer physical action
and is certainly not dependent on the person supporting this website
in any physical way. Yet there are levels of commitment and the greater
the commitment from the student the greater the multiplication from
me.
One level of commitment is that the student takes the teachings on this
website seriously, studies them, applies them and allows them to transform
his or her understanding and consciousness. Yet at some point the student
should also take some outer action as a result of internalizing the
teachings. One such action could be to use the spiritual techniques
that I offer on this website. This includes the decrees for spiritual
protection, the calls for the transformation
of negative energy on a personal and planetary scale and the beautiful
rosaries released by Mother
Mary. By giving such spiritual exercises, the student will make
a contribution to the purification of the consciousness of humankind
and the energy field of the entire planet. This then will allow me to
give more light back to the student and establish the figure-eight flow.
Another way for the student to complete the circle is to spread the
word about this website or to tell other people about the insights they
have garnered from the site. In other words, students can help me spread
my inner teachings. Finally, a student can also take the physical action
of supporting this website financially. The books are a convenient way
for people to support the website financially, even though it is also
appropriate for them to give a more direct contribution, if they feel
so inclined.
While the Internet is a great
tool, it also has limitations. One is that so many people expect to
get something for free without giving anything in return. Another is
that reading a spiritual teaching on a computer is not the same as reading
a book. You will get a more profound experience from reading my teachings
in a book. Therefore, if someone finds something of value on this website,
there should come a point where the person wants to read one of the
books.
The underlying purpose of this website is to give people a bridge, whereby
they can establish a student-teacher relationship directly with me.
The key to establishing this relationship is to make a commitment and
to multiply the teachings that I have freely given on this website.
As I said, the law only allows me to multiply that which the student
places on the altar. I can do nothing beyond what the law allows me
to do, and therefore it is truly up to the student to close the circle
and establish the figure-eight flow between us.
Finally, there is a practical reason for not giving away the books.
When you consider how much material has been put on this website and
the fact that so many books have been written within one year, you will
see that my messenger simply could not do this amount of work by having
a regular full-time job. It is therefore reasonable for me to provide
a way for him to earn an income so that he can devote his time to serving
me. As the Bible says, the laborer is worth his hire [Luke 10;7]. There
is truly nothing wrong with an exchange of money for services rendered.
I desire the books to go far and wide and reach people who do not have
computers. For this to happen, the books must get in the bookstores,
and I can assure you that no bookstore will give away a book for free.
Therefore, they must be sold at a price that makes them attractive to
a business.
