from Jesus:
Being willing to let a spiritual
teaching “throw you for a loop” is an essential character
trait of a true spiritual seeker. Being willing to ask for clarification
– instead of outright rejecting what conflicts your existing beliefs
– is equally essential.
I ask you to begin by considering that this is a very large and very
complex website. Many people would disagree with your assessment that
the focus is on the devil and dark forces. Some of them would say that
the focus is on bringing light and love. So consider why you
look at this website and see a focus on dark forces? As a true spiritual
seeker, you should consider that everything you encounter carries a
potential message and an opportunity to learn. So it was not a coincidence
that you found this website at this point in time. Could it be because
you are at the point on your personal path, where you need to deal with
dark forces in order to rise above their influence over your life?
You see, spiritual growth is all about rising above human illusions.
So whether the devil is real or not, it is inescapable for a true spiritual
seeker that you deal with the concept of a devil. You need to get to
a point of resolution where even the concept has no hold on your mind.
And by running away from or ignoring the concept of a devil, you will
not free yourself from it. You will only remain trapped in whatever
concept of the devil you hold in your mind—even if you hold the
concept that the devil does not exist. Only when the mental concept
is replaced by inner knowledge will you have risen above all illusions.
From my perspective, the focus on this website is on personal Christhood.
And in order to manifest personal Christhood, it is inevitable that
you must deal with dark forces. If you do not deal with them, you cannot
overcome the dualistic lies that give them power over your mind. And
thus you cannot reach the stage where you can say, “The prince
of this world cometh and has nothing in me!” And, quite frankly,
if the prince of this world – meaning the consciousness of duality,
the consciousness of anti-christ – has something in you, you cannot
possibly manifest your Christhood.
You say, “Ever since I have been visiting this website, I have
sensed negative spirits hanging around me, did I create this by reading
about it on this website.” Have you considered the possibility
that dark forces have always been “hanging around you” but
that you simply were not aware of this before you found this website?
It was not long ago that scientists discovered bacteria and realized
they could cause disease. Did scientists create bacteria through their
discovery, or have they always been around?
The brutal fact is that 99% of the people on this planet are negatively
affected by dark forces. The saying that “what you don’t
know can’t hurt you” did not come from the Ascended Host,
so guess who inspired it? As the discovery of bacteria proves, what
you don’t know about can indeed hurt you. And thus you face the
choice of whether you will continue to allow your spiritual growth to
be limited by dark forces or whether you will "take the devil by
the horns" and raise yourself above the influence of dark forces.
You say, “whatever you focus your attention on you create, so
if we read about dark energies, wont we create this in our lives?”
This is an understandable question, but on this website I am not asking
you to focus on dark forces and give them energy. I am asking you to
be aware of how they influence you, so that you can free yourself from
them. You know bacteria exist, but you are not allowing this knowledge
to consume your life. You simply take the necessary precautions to avoid
an infection and live happily in the knowledge that bacteria cannot
harm you when you are protected.
I am quite aware that many New Age teachings focus on bringing, light,
love and joy. Let me make it very clear that the Ascended Host consider
New Age people among our best potential for bringing about a large-scale
spiritual awakening on this planet. The reason is that most of these
people are open to the need to bring forth new spiritual teachings in
this age, which unfortunately is not the case for most Christians. However,
it is a fact that currently the potential of the New Age movement is
just that, a potential rather than a reality, as I explain elsewhere.
One of the main reasons is that too many New Age people refuse to do
the “dirty work” and only want to deal with what is pleasant,
comfortable and easy.
A young child naturally plays in the dirt and then sticks its fingers
in its mouth. As a responsible adult, you try to discourage this because
you know about harmful bacteria that can make the child sick or even
kill it. Small children are not able to understand the concept of bacteria,
so adults use other methods to prevent a child from sticking its fingers
in the mouth. These methods can limit the natural development of the
child and instill various forms of fear. Would a person with a typical
New Age attitude say that we should not curb the child’s tendency
to play but should simply let them eat dirt, and if it kills them, that
is just part of life? This, of course, would not be a responsible reaction.
It is completely unfathomable to me that people can live in today's
world and look at the atrocities committed by human beings and at the
same time deny the existence of dark forces and the fact that they can
influence, even possess, human beings. How can you possibly look at
child molesters and serial killers and think that a benevolent God created
people with the propensity to commit such acts? How can you possibly
believe that if we ignore evil and focus on light and love, people will
one day wake up and be perfect? Why do you think I challenged the powers
that be, including casting out evil spirits, instead of telling my disciples
to just love everybody?
What I did tell my disciples to do was to respond to every situation
with love—meaning divine love. I demonstrated what divine love
means, but unfortunately many people in the New Age community have not
understood the nature of divine love. They have created a graven image,
a golden calf, of what they want love to be like, yet what they dance
around is a form of human love that is always gentle and thus never
challenges any imperfections, including dark forces and people’s
egos. The simple fact is that if you are not willing to look for the
beam in your own eye – to challenge your own ego – you don't
want anyone else to do so either. Thus, you create the standard that
a true spiritual leader should be "loving" and never challenge
anyone's ego. Yet if a spiritual teacher is not challenging your ego,
how can he help you overcome that ego?
Divine love is the basic force of creation, and thus it is the most
powerful force of the universe. Divine love is what gave your Creator
the drive to create, because it impelled the Creator to become more
through creating you. Thus, the very nature of divine love is that it
wants everything to become more; it never wants to leave anyone or anything
in an imperfect or limited state. Thus, if you are not willing to challenge
dark forces, people’s egos or the imperfections in human society,
you are not centered in divine love. How can the Golden Age –
that many New Age people correctly envision – possibly be manifest
unless we first clean up the mess on this planet? And how can we clean
up the mess until a critical mass of people decide that there are certain
things they simply will not tolerate on this planet, as I explain elsewhere?
The brutal fact is that many people in the New Age community are not
fulfilling their true potential to be a positive force for change on
this planet. And the reason is that they have not risen above the very
same state of consciousness in which so many orthodox and fundamentalist
Christians are trapped, namely the tendency to judge everything based
on a human, dualistic, fear-based standard.
I constantly see Christians who find this website, but as soon as they
see me talking about anything beyond the Bible – or their interpretation
of the Bible – they say I could not possibly be the real Jesus.
I constantly see New Age people who find this website, but as soon as
they see me being challenging or talking about anything beyond their
image of love, they say that I could not possibly be the real Jesus.
The reactions of these two groups of people are essentially the same,
only from opposite directions. Allow me to explain.
The essential message of this website is that the vast majority of human
beings are trapped in the duality consciousness, the consciousness of
anti-christ. This consciousness is based on a sense of separation from
God, which creates a basic duality that makes people believe God is
not where they are. As I explain elsewhere,
the duality is defined by two relative opposites, such as good and evil.
The problem here is that the duality consciousness comes up with its
own definitions of good and evil, and both definitions are out of alignment
with the reality of God, which you can know only through the Christ
consciousness. The Christ consciousness is the ”only begotten
son of the father” because it is the consciousness of being one
with God and God’s truth.
The effect of the duality consciousness is the creation of the human
ego, which, by its very nature, judges everything according to a dualistic
standard, a standard that is based on the “things of this world”
rather than the truth of Christ. That is why religious people can believe
it is justified in the eyes of God to kill those who oppose their (only
true) religion. Quite frankly, if you have not seen or if you deny this
tendency for people to define “truth” to suit their ego-needs,
you have not seriously started walking the spiritual path.
As Mother
Mary explains, everything is created by the expanding force of the
Father and the contracting force of the Mother. My point is that the
fundamentalist Christians have taken the tendency to judge into one
extreme, namely a perversion of the Father. They say that anything which
is not in compliance with a literal interpretation of the Bible is of
the devil and they see it as their duty to eradicate it. This is what
caused the crusades, the inquisition and other atrocities perpetrated
by those who claim to be my followers but have not been willing to embody
my teachings.
Many New Age people have taken the tendency to judge into the opposite
extreme by perverting the Mother. They have created a false image of
love as being gentle and never challenging anything, including, of course,
their own egos. They believe that as long as they never challenge any
imperfections, and in fact ignore anything not positive or pleasant,
they will be saved and they will raise the planet. Likewise, the Christians
believe that as long as they ignore or run away from the devil, they
will be saved and bring the kingdom of God to Earth.
I trust the more perceptive seekers can see that this is essentially
the same reaction taken into the two relative extremes defined by the
duality consciousness. Whether you say everything not in the Bible is
of the devil or say there is no devil, you are refusing to reach for
the mind of Christ that will empower you to discern between Christ truth
and dualistic lies. My point is that many New Age people think that
because they are always being gentle, they are not being as judgmental
as fundamentalist Christians. Yet the New Age people are just as judgmental,
they have simply adopted a different standard, namely human love, as
the standard by which they judge everyone and everything.
So when they come across this website, and run into my fiery divine
love that will not let anyone stay trapped in their illusions, they
immediately judge me, my words and my vibration. If I do not live up
to their standard of being “loving,” I cannot be the real
Jesus and they “don’t sense the love” or think this
cannot be a divinely inspired message. Well, you don’t sense the
divine love because you have allowed the flame of divine love in your
heart to be replaced by a golden calf of human love. There is nothing
in you that resonates with my divine love, and thus I cannot reach you
as I could not reach the scribes and Pharisees. They too thought they
knew everything but they had only intellectual knowledge and “had
no truth in them.”
There are indeed many people in the New Age field who have studied a
variety of teachings. They have understood much on an intellectual level,
and they have adopted an attitude of being “loving” toward
everyone. Therefore, they can come across as being very knowledgeable
and very loving, so how could they possibly be wrong? Well, my friend,
there were many Jews who reasoned the same way 2,000 years ago when
I challenged the scribes, the Pharisees and other hypocrites who believed
they knew everything yet had not been willing to look at the beam in
their own eyes and challenge their egos.
These people were doing everything right according to the outer religion,
as many New Age people today are doing everything right according to
their own, dualistic, standard. Yet if you look behind the surface,
you will see the subtle judgment of anyone or anything that does not
live up to their standard. You will see the rigidity of the mind and
the unwillingness to admit that their beliefs are not infallible. This
simply is “the way that seemeth right unto a man, but the ends
thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12).
Why is it the way of death? Because death is stillstand, whereas life
– love – is a process of never-ending self-transcendence.
Divine love never judges—but it always seeks to transform. Judgment
seeks to impose a dualistic image upon others, even seeking to make
the entire universe live up to a dualistic image. Once the judgment
is passed, the person is often unwilling to reconsider and revise the
judgment—as is evidenced by the people who reject this website
on the first occurrence of a statement with which they disagree. In
contrast, divine love never holds any fixed image of anyone. It sees
only the vision of Christ and it sees everything and everyone in a process
of constant self-transcendence. Thus, both fundamentalist Christians
– who will not transcend their interpretation of the Bible –
and New Age people – who will not transcend their image of love
– are trapped in the consciousness of death.
Take note that the spiritual path is a vertical process. Some people
think they can climb it by acquiring outer, intellectual, horizontal
knowledge, but it is not so. If you talk the talk without walking the
walk, you are getting nowhere, even though you may manage to convince
yourself and others that you are very advanced—according to your
own, dualistic standard.
Let me be completely frank with you. There are people who do not need
to concern themselves with dark forces. There can be two main reasons
for this. One is that they are still at the lower stages of the spiritual
path. Therefore, they have not yet reached the level where they need
to confront dark forces. This does not mean that they are not influenced
by such forces, it means that they are not yet strong enough to tackle
them. The other possibility is that people have risen above the stage
of being influenced by dark forces. Yet anyone who has truly risen to
that level will never deny the existence of dark forces nor the need
for spiritual seekers to rise above them. Thus, people who deny that
dark forces exist or tell everyone they don’t have to deal with
them, demonstrate that they have not truly overcome dark forces. They
are either operating from ignorance or they are deliberately seeking
to deceive people.
The simple fact is that the best weapon in the devil’s toolkit
is ignorance. If you don’t know about or accept the existence
of dark forces, it is as difficult to escape their influence as it is
to avoid infectious diseases when you don’t know about bacteria.
Deliberately ignoring something is a fear-based reaction that springs
from the fear that you cannot protect yourself from a danger. Yet what
I do on this website is to give people the understanding and the practical
tools they need in order to protect themselves from dark forces—until
they have overcome the dualistic beliefs that make them vulnerable to
dark forces. Thus, if you are willing to acquire the understanding and
willing to use the tools, you can recognize the existence of dark forces
without fear.
The basic fact is that there will come a point on your spiritual path
where you can make no further progress until you overcome the dark forces
– meaning the dark spirits without and the ego within –
that are seeking to prevent you from manifesting Christhood. The brutal
fact is – and this is why I have chosen to answer this question
at this time – that the human ego is based on a pact with the
devil, with the duality consciousness. And in order for you to rise
to the higher stages of the spiritual path – and manifest your
Christhood – you have to consciously and deliberately break
your personal pact with the devil. Take note that you cannot “consciously
and deliberately” break this pact as long as you ignore or deny
the existence of the devil. He loves nothing more than people who choose
not to believe in him, because they automatically deny their potential
to rise above the consciousness of anti-christ (which is the true meaning
of the devil) and manifest Christhood.
Many spiritual and religious people on this planet think they are doing
all the right things, but they have actually put their spiritual growth
on hold because they have made a pact with the devil. Obviously, these
people do not consciously realize that they have made such a pact, and
many of them made that pact many lifetimes ago. Nevertheless, the brutal
fact is that they have made the pact that if they do not rise beyond
a certain level of the path – if they do not truly manifest their
Christhood (by challenging their own egos) or express that Christhood
(by challenging the consciousness of anti-christ wherever it is found)
– the devil and all dark forces will leave them alone. And truly,
when you do not seek to become the Christ, the devil will leave you
alone because you are no threat to him or his control over planet Earth.
You can thus focus on bringing light and love, making yourself believe
you are a truly spiritual person without realizing that your spirituality
is contained in a very small box.
This is the real reason so many people – both fundamentalist Christians
and New Age people – feel they are not bothered by dark forces.
It is a false sense of security that keeps them trapped in a small box
that gives the devil control over their lives. And this is the real
reason you will “attract” such forces when you try to go
beyond the boundaries defined in your pact with the devil. As soon as
you try to break out of the cage defined by this pact, the dark forces
will rush in to challenge you in any way they can. This can be through
fear or it can be through the very subtle deception of making you accept
a false image of love. These forces will use any means possible to prevent
you from stepping out of the mold and reaching for your Christhood—the
prince of this world will use whatever he has in you.
The key to overcoming them is to realize that they have no power over
you except what you give them through your free will. Yet to overcome
dark forces, you must use your free will consciously. Many people have
given away their power to make conscious choices by ignoring the existence
of dark forces and their own egos. This only keeps you trapped behind
a veil of illusions, and you will not break free of it until you take
back your conscious will and start making enlightened choices, choices
based on the discernment of the Christ mind that separates the lie from
the truth.
Unfortunately, many people refuse to do this and cling to a man-made
(or even a devil-made) definition of truth, be it a literal interpretation
of the Bible or a New Age definition of love. This is worshiping a graven
image, and although it might make you feel good and make you believe
you are saved, it will do nothing to raise you above the dualistic illusions.
And escaping these illusions is the only road to salvation, a higher
state of consciousness, enlightenment, or whatever you want to call
it.
You need both understanding and a firm will to overcome your ego and
the external forces seeking to keep you trapped. I will provide you
with the understanding on this website, but you need to supply the will
power. I am not in the business of making choices for you—I leave
that to the devil who will gladly take over your free will, even without
you knowing what is happening.
My point for this long discourse is simple. I make no excuse whatsoever
for the fact that I talk about many things on this website that are
challenging to both traditional Christians and New Age people. It is
my goal to assist anyone who is ready to move on to the higher stages
of the spiritual path by giving people the understanding and the tools
they need. This website is not for those who want to remain in whatever
illusion makes them feel comfortable. This website is for those who
are willing to break the pact their egos have made with the devil and
reach for the Christ consciousness—thereby taking the only true
way out of the dualistic illusions that spring from the consciousness
of anti-christ.
When I walked the Earth 2,000 years ago I said, “Enter ye in at
the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth
to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait
is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). Today, I am here to
make sure that anyone who is willing to look beyond duality can find
the “strait and narrow” way that leads to Christ consciousness.
I have already shown you the beginning stages of that path on this website
and will continue to reveal more of it. Yet your job is to realize that
I cannot take you beyond the prison of the ego without challenging both
the illusions of the ego and the lies of the devil that keep you in
that prison. If you are not willing to let me challenge your beliefs,
you have a right to stay where your ego is comfortable (because it knows
it has you under control).
Yet consider one of the laws that guide spiritual growth: “When
the student is ready, the teacher appears.” The fact that you
have found this website means that you are ready to make use of what
it offers and take yourself to an entirely new level of the spiritual
path. The only question is whether your outer mind is willing to acknowledge
the inner reality and act accordingly. Thus, I consider that all who
read this message seriously consider what pact their egos have made
with the devil. Ask myself or your Christ self to reveal that pact to
you and then make the effort to break it once and for all.
