Answer from Jesus:
I do not encourage you to call for the judgment of yourself for what
is your self? My beloved, you can call for the judgment of Christ upon
your ego and your human creation. But you do not want to simply call
for the judgment of Christ upon yourself, for you might – in your
mind – think that “yourself” encompasses all of your
being. And there is no need to call upon the judgment of Christ upon
your conscious
self, for your conscious self is an extension of God's own being
and has no need of the judgment.
The judgment is an action that is meant for the lower state of consciousness.
And so – although it is true that your conscious self must make
the choice to leave behind the duality consciousness – there is
still no need to call for the judgment of that. You can call for the
judgment upon your ego so that your conscious self can see what is the
ego because the judgment separates the real from the unreal.
But there is no reason to call for the judgment upon that which is real
because – even though we say that the conscious you is who it
thinks it is – the greater reality is that the conscious you is
always an extension of God. And therefore your conscious self IS real,
even though it might identify itself with an unreal identity.
I realize this is a very subtle distinction that might require some
pondering. But I do not want you to go into the state of mind of in
any way looking at your conscious self as being unreal, even when it
identifies with the ego. And therefore, I want you to always hold the
vision that your conscious self is real, and that it is only the outer
sense of identity, the outer personality, that is unreal.
I desire you to ponder the subtle distinction, where you realize that
even though the conscious self has come to identify itself with the
ego and with a mortal identity, the sense of identity is ultimately
unreal, but the conscious self is real. And the only way the conscious
self can escape the mortal sense of identity is by recognizing that
the mortal is unreal whereas the conscious self itself IS real. And
even though it has fallen into separation and duality, it has not lost
its essential reality in God.
And surely, you would not call forth the judgment upon God. And since
your conscious self is an individualization of God, then you would not
call for the judgment of that either. And so you need to ponder how
you see yourself, what you see as YOUR SELF. For surely, the world programs
you to think that everything that is part of your being is a part of
your self. But this, of course, is not so.
And this is indeed one of the illusions you need to shed on the spiritual
path, where you begin to realize that even though there may be elements
in your being, they are not necessarily part of yourself. For in reality
no aspect of your lower being is part of your conscious self—it
is simply a filter, a tool, through which the conscious self expresses
itself in this world. But the conscious self is MORE.
