from Jesus:
What does it take to be a sponsored and anointed messenger of the Ascended
Master Jesus Christ? You must follow my commandment to love God with
all your heart, soul and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself.
You must follow the requirement to "hate" your father, mother
and husband, to be willing to lose your life for my sake and to let
go of all earthly attachments and possessions. In other words, you must
not set anything in this world – including your own ego–
before your relationship with me. You must never seek to use your messengership
to glorify yourself – or anyone else – but exclusively seek
to glorify God and feed my sheep. If you will read my comments
on Kim’s personal story, you will see that he did indeed surrender
his all to me before I started using him as my messenger.
Another important requirement for being my messenger is that you are
willing to be who you are in God, meaning that you are willing to lose
your mortal sense of identity of who you think you are as a human being.
This means that even though you serve as my messenger, you are not trying
to live up to any human expectations of how my messenger should be.
You are not patterning yourself after anyone else, including a previous
messenger of the Great White Brotherhood. You are willing to be who
you are as a God-free spiritual being instead of trying to mimic previous
messengers in an attempt to gain authority or popularity. You are willing
to do this even if you are rejected by the students of previous messengers.
If you do not meet this requirement, you cannot be my messenger. You
might become a messenger for other masters who have different requirements,
or you might become a messenger for lower beings who have no compunctions
about masquerading as Jesus Christ. You might indeed believe that they
are the real thing and you might succeed in convincing other people
that you are taking messages from the real thing—especially if
you mimic a previous messenger and play upon people’s unfulfilled
human desires. Yet without the total and unconditional surrender, you
cannot be a sponsored messenger for Jesus Christ.
The Ascended Host have never actually stated that we only have one messenger
at a time. I know this might sound like a technicality, but it is not.
As I explain elsewhere,
we do indeed work with many messengers at various levels of attainment
and sponsorship. In the past, certain messengers have been the only
person in embodiment at that time with a specific mantle as messenger.
Yet this should not be misconstrued to mean that during the time such
a messenger was functioning, we of the Ascended Host were not working
with, speaking through or inspiring ideas upon any other human being
in embodiment. To reason this way is simply prideful.
One of the greatest problems we have is that when we sponsor an organization,
we inevitably attract those who seek to feed their pride by feeling
that because they are members of an organization sponsored by the Ascended
Masters, they are somehow above and beyond other people. These people
will then interpret certain things we say to mean that they have the
highest teaching and therefore they must be the most advanced students.
Indeed, we do sometimes make statements that are deliberately designed
to inflate people’s pride. The reason being that we have not been
able to make these people see their pride in any other way, and therefore
our last resort is to seek to inflate it until it becomes so obvious
that hopefully people will finally see the light. This is indeed a principle
that we use to expose any type of limitation or flaw. We will first
seek to give people a teaching to help them see it through understanding.
Yet if they do not understand and internalize the teaching, our last
option is to inflate people’s weaknesses so they act out those
traits until they become more obvious. I am sad to see that so few of
our students have understood this principle even though they have studied
our teachings for decades.
Another important consideration is that we are moving into the Aquarian
Age, and in this new age of spiritual freedom there will not be one
single religious organization that will dominate the religious life—as
for example the Catholic Church dominated Europe during the middle ages.
The truth is that we of the Ascended Host never have given and never
will give a monopoly to any individual or organization. If you were
charged by God with the task of saving planet Earth, would you let the
future of the planet depend on one person or even one group of people?
There are indeed other people in embodiment today through whom I, or
other Ascended Masters, are speaking. Kim is well aware of this –
although he does not know all of them – and has no need or desire
to feel that he is my exclusive messenger. This is to his credit and
speaks volumes about this attainment and thereby his usefulness as a
messenger.
So far, Kim has been reluctant to let me talk about him and his attainment.
I have – largely – respected this wish—except to give
certain information I deemed necessary and to push him to grow beyond
his reluctance. His desire was partly based on the clear recognition
that what is important here is me and my true message, and therefore
he did not want to stand in the way of people’s acceptance of
my message. He did not want the messenger to become the message. Another
aspect has been that he did not want to be exposed to people’s
ridicule and criticism, and therefore he sought to hide himself behind
my message. This, of course, is the product of a wounded psychology
that comes from being persecuted for my sake in many previous lifetimes.
I am glad to say that he has resolved those psychological wounds and
is now nonattached to what I say or do not say through him or about
him. He is also realizing that there is no way to completely separate
the messenger from the message—which is true of any messenger.
Let me therefore state clearly that although Kim is not my only messenger,
he has indeed reached a level of attainment that makes him the purest
messenger I have had for these past 2,000 years. He has reached a level
of spiritual attainment that is beyond the attainment of any of the
disciples I had 2,000 years ago. He has also reached a level of understanding
of spiritual concepts that makes it possible for me to give some very
advanced teachings through him.
In the capacity that Kim serves as my messenger, I am not taking over
his mind or speaking through a mantle—although he has a mantle
as messenger. I am speaking directly through his mind because he has
attained such a high degree of union with me that I can speak through
him in this very direct manner. There is only enough separation between
us to let him maintain a sense of individuality. I am using him to demonstrate
the principle described in my parable about the talents, namely that
as you multiply your talents, God will reward you. Therefore, when you
serve as a messenger in this capacity, I can multiply only what you
bring to the altar in terms of your understanding of spiritual concepts.
I am doing this to demonstrate through Kim what many other people have
the potential to achieve in this lifetime.
As I explain elsewhere,
there are currently 10,000 people in embodiment who have the potential
to reach full Christhood in this lifetime. All of these people could
potentially serve as messengers for the Ascended Host in various capacities
and as experts on various topics. They would not all have to state that
they are serving as messengers, but they could all become open doors
for bringing forth new ideas and teachings.
This is indeed what I desire to see happen, and therefore I am using
Kim to demonstrate one of the most important spiritual laws of this
universe. This law states simply that what one human being has done,
all have the potential to do. I came to demonstrate that law 2,000 years
ago, but those who claim to represent me have turned me into an idol
and thus destroyed my example. This is precisely what Kim is here to
restore, and he can do that only by demonstrating Christhood through
his own example. Obviously, I could use many more – about 10,000
of them – who would exemplify this.
Therefore, it is my
hope that this website will reach the people who have the potential
to reach Christhood and become messengers for the New Age. I hope they
will see Kim as an example of what they can be by following the path
that leads to the total surrender of all human expectations and desires.
I would encourage people to ask Kim specific questions about how he
passed important initiations on the spiritual path.
