from Jesus:
The statement that God's
heart was the first to break is simply not true. I know this can sound
harsh, so let me explain. First of all, as I explained in my discourse
on the terrorist attacks in Spain
and throughout this website, God has not created the suffering you see
on Earth. This suffering was created by human beings because they have
misused their free will and have fallen into a lower state of consciousness.
Because God respects his Law of Free Will, he has allowed this to happen.
And although such atrocities are completely out of alignment with God's
will and God’s intention for this planet, God must simply wait
until human beings make the choice to stop creating the conditions that
lead to such suffering.
When you think about God in the highest sense, God simply does not see
the imperfect conditions on planet Earth. As the Bible says, God is
not mocked [Galatians 6:7] and his eyes cannot look on iniquity [Habakkuk
1:13]. However, the representatives of God, namely we who are members
of the Ascended Host, do indeed see all conditions that occur on planet
Earth.
Please try to understand that when you become an ascended being, you
leave behind the human ego and the carnal mind. Therefore, you also
leave behind the lower, dualistic and self-centered feelings that spring
from these aspects of the lower mind. I am not hereby saying that ascended
beings do not have feelings. What I am saying is that the feelings of
ascended beings are different from the feelings of human beings. Therefore,
the heart of an ascended being simply cannot break.
We could not feel the sense of irretrievable loss that human beings
feel and which causes their heart to feel like it is breaking. This
is because when you are an ascended being, you know that there really
is no irretrievable loss.
You know that behind the outer appearances that happen on Earth is the
infinite reality of God. The things on Earth seem real, but they are
not ultimately real and they are not permanent. They are simply temporary
manifestations that the collective consciousness of humankind has projected
onto the screen of life. If you change the filmstrip in the projector
(people’s minds), you will change the appearances on the screen.
I hope you can see that we of the Ascended Host have the task of helping
all human beings grow to a higher state of consciousness. The most important
aspect of being a spiritual teacher is that you never, ever affirm an
imperfect condition as real or permanent. So when we look upon a calamity
that happens on Earth, we realize that it is happening but we also affirm
that it is not ultimately real and not permanent.
Therefore, our first and foremost concern is to help people leave behind
the imperfect condition and move closer to God’s perfection, meaning
the perfection of the Christ consciousness. We could never allow ourselves
to feel sympathy for human beings, because sympathy simply magnifies
the imperfect feelings. We do, however, feel empathy and compassion
in the sense that we realize that people are going through suffering.
However, we also realize that no matter how difficult conditions seem,
people have the potential to rise above them.
Furthermore, we are constantly anchored in the unconditional love of
God, and therefore we experience the living, breathing reality that
the unconditional love of God has the potential to consume all imperfect
conditions and all imperfect feelings on Earth. We are constantly offering
people that unconditional love. We are constantly seeking to serve as
an open door, as a bridge over which the unconditional love can flow
into the hearts and minds of human beings.
Therefore, I hope you can understand that we do not look at such atrocities
the same way people look at them. This does not mean that we are insensitive
or that we want such events to happen. It means that we have a higher
form of sensitivity which allows us to always feel unconditional love.
Therefore, we constantly seek to reach out to every person to help that
person rise higher in consciousness.
So when an event happens, such as a terrorist attack, we of the Ascended
Host do not judge people the way human beings do. In other words, we
are equally concerned about helping both the victims and the terrorists
rise to a higher state of consciousness. Unfortunately, both sides in
such an event will often reject our assistance.
The victims of a terrorist attack will often feel anger against God
because they ask the question of how God could let this happen. They
are not willing to even consider that they themselves could have co-created
the conditions that caused the event to happen. Therefore, they are
not able to open their hearts to the unconditional love and forgiveness
that we are ready to pour into their minds at any time. As a result,
people often get stuck in negative feelings that prevent them from moving
on spiritually. If only they would open their minds and hearts, we would
flood them with such unconditional love that they would immediately
be able to forgive and move on.
You see, forgiveness is the key to spiritual freedom. As long as you
are holding grudges against any form of life or against God, you simply
cannot be free of the past and move on. You simply cannot move away
from Earth and enter the kingdom of Heaven—in which there can
be no non-forgiveness or other negative feelings. Only when you completely
forgive yourself, other people and God will you be free to move higher
in consciousness.
So by not forgiving, you are hurting yourself. This is what many people
don't understand, and that is why they cannot follow my command to forgive
seventy times seven. Consider how I told people to love their enemies.
I said that if you love those who love you, what is your reward? Anybody
can do that. If you are sincere about walking the spiritual path, you
must learn to love those who hate you and forgive those who harm you.
I fully understand that there are families in Madrid who right now feel
deeply grieved by the terrorist attacks and the loss of their loved
ones. Yet once an event has happened, no amount of grief and other negative
feelings can turn back the clock. However, negative feelings will always
hold back your spiritual growth. So if you really want spiritual growth,
the most important thing for you is to leave the negative feelings behind
and come up higher in consciousness.
Unfortunately, many victims of such atrocities are not willing to come
up higher; they want to remain in the negative feelings of anger, blame,
sorrow or self pity. Obviously, this is their choice but as ascended
beings we cannot allow ourselves to feel sympathy for people making
that choice. We can feel compassion and we can feel understanding for
the fact that it is difficult for many people to let go. Nevertheless,
how easy is it to feel compassion for a person who clings to a penny
when there is someone standing next to him offering him a million dollars
for the taking? How easy is it for us to feel compassion for those to
hold on to a penny's worth of human sorrow when we are ready to offer
them a million dollars of God’s unconditional love and forgiveness?
Of course, the terrorists themselves also find it difficult to accept
forgiveness and move higher. They are often so concerned about maintaining
the illusion that the terrorist acts were right and justified in the
eyes of God that they cannot even accept that they need forgiveness.
And if you cannot ask for forgiveness, how could you possibly accept
that forgiveness? The unfortunate effect of this unwillingness on both
sides of a conflict to accept God's unconditional forgiveness is that
the two sides create a karmic spiral with each other. That can continue
for generations and centuries. In fact, the terrorist act in Madrid
was very much the result of a karmic spiral created between Muslims
and the Spanish people as a result of the Muslim occupation of Spain
and the Crusades.
We of the Ascended Host would love nothing more than to see such karmic
spirals be dissolved and consumed by the unconditional love of God.
Yet for that to happen, a critical mass of people on both sides of a
karmic spiral must accept God's unconditional love and allow it to flow
through their hearts to consume the ancient records and negative feelings.
God's unconditional love rains upon the just and unjust. If you can
fully accept God's forgiveness right now for any mistake you have ever
made, then you will be instantly forgiven. There would still be an amount
of misqualified energy, or karma, that needed to be consumed. Yet the
forgiveness itself would be as instantaneous as your own acceptance
of that forgiveness. This is the fact that most people find it impossible
to accept and that is why they keep making more karma instead of leaving
all human imperfections behind them.
