Anticipate
the Tempter
A message from Jesus
I am come to give you a teaching that is extremely important for those
who walk the path to personal Christhood. The essence of my teaching
is that as you step on to the path, you need to anticipate that your
progress will be challenged by the prince of this world. Wise is the
student who anticipates this and therefore learns to recognize the tempter
at the earliest possible moment. It is only by anticipating the challenge
and by recognizing it early that you can avoid becoming trapped in a
downward spiral of reasoning with the Prince of this world and his Serpentine
logic.
My beloved friends, there is the mind of Christ and there is the mind
of anti-christ. There is nothing in between. As I said, “You cannot
serve two masters.” And as Moses said, “Choose life.”
There is nothing in between the mind of Christ and the mind of anti-christ.
If you are not in the mind of Christ, then you are in the mind of anti-christ.
Take note of the subtle distinction here.
The mind of anti-christ
The mind of anti-christ is the mind of duality. This mind sets up two
dualistic opposites, two relative extremes, such as the polarities of
good and evil. When you are trapped by this dualistic mind, you think
in terms of black and white. Yet this is nothing but a smokescreen,
set up by the prince of this world to fool those who have not yet attained
a glimpse of the Christ mind. For example, many Christians are so concerned
about anti-christ that they have been fooled into thinking that it always
appears as the devil himself. Therefore, they think that an idea which
is anti-christ is easy to recognize because it is dark or contradicts
the Bible (especially their interpretation of the Bible). Yet in reality
the entire range of dualistic consciousness is the consciousness of
anti-christ.
Take note of what I am saying. Surely, many of the dark, egotistical
or manipulative ideas are expressions of the mind of anti-christ. Yet
what most people, especially many religious people, will not acknowledge
is that even most of the ideas and practices that human beings call
“good” are also expressions of the mind of anti-christ.
This is a truth that will make many people uncomfortable, yet it is
a truth that must be acknowledged by all those who are willing to step
on to the path of personal Christhood.
What is the essence of the path to Christhood? It is that you increase
your ability to discern between that which is of God and that which
is not of God, between that which is of the mind of Christ and that
which springs from the mind of anti-christ. The mind of anti-christ
is the mind that keeps you separated from God and prevents you from
knowing, “I and my Father, meaning my I AM Presence, are one.”
The mind of anti-christ is the mind of duality, and as long as you are
trapped in that mind, you can go around in circles for an indefinite
period of time. It is quite possible that a person doing this can believe
that he or she is on the path to salvation. Such a person will often
set up an outer standard and say that as long as you believe in all
the right doctrines, do all the right things and don’t do any
of the wrong things, your salvation is guaranteed. This is the sense
of righteousness shared by the scribes and Pharisees of old, and you
might remember that I denounced their righteousness and clearly stated
that unless you go to a higher level of righteousness, namely the righteousness
of the Christ consciousness, you cannot enter Heaven.
Be willing to be uncomfortable for a time
I am fully aware that for those who are new to the path of Christhood,
this teaching will be uncomfortable and confusing. After all, every
human being has been brought up with dualistic beliefs, which claim
that certain ideas are true and good while others are wrong and of the
devil. If what you have been brought up to believe is good is not truly
good, then what can you trust? This leads to the dilemma that all sincere
spiritual seekers must face. You have been brought up to accept many
dualistic lies, and those lies have given you a sense of security and
comfortability. They have formed the platform for your life and have
given you a secure world view. Yet that world view is a house built
on sand, the sand of the consciousness of duality.
In order to progress on the spiritual path, you need to move away from
the sand and step on to the rocky ground of the Christ consciousness.
Yet the first step you must take is to recognize that you are standing
on sand, meaning that many of your beliefs are out of alignment with
the truth and the reality of God. Admitting this will be uncomfortable
to every single one of you. There is no human being who is an exception
to this, and I can assure you that I was not an exception to it myself.
All those who have walked the spiritual path have had to face the fact
that in order to move forward, we have to leave behind some of the beliefs
that make us feel comfortable. In fact, if you are to make maximum progress
on the path, you must be willing to question any and all of your outer
beliefs. You must be willing to endure the discomfort of questioning
your outer beliefs, and in the end you will have to question every single
one of your dualistic beliefs.
Therefore, the path to personal Christhood is a path for those who are
willing to be uncomfortable in order to make progress. As my beloved
colleague, the master El Morya has said, “The trek upward is worth
the inconvenience.” Yet in the beginning, you will mostly experience
the inconvenience, and you will experience only a little of the reward.
That is why no one can make progress without a certain amount of faith,
which, as the Bible says, is the evidence of things not seen. You have
to be willing to trust that if you endure the discomfort of questioning
your beliefs, you will eventually find the answers you are looking for
and attain a sense of peace that is not built on your outer beliefs
but on an inner recognition of truth.
The key of knowledge
The key to walking the spiritual path is to recognize that you have
an ability to know truth inside yourself. This is what I called the
“key of knowledge,” and you will remember that I challenged
the lawyers who had taken it out of the orthodox religion. Those same
lawyers are still with you on this planet today, in fact many of the
lawyers that I challenged 2,000 years ago have reincarnated as the leaders
of Christian churches. They have, once again, taken away the key of
knowledge and claim that you cannot know truth on your own but that
you must follow outer doctrines.
This is a lie, and you cannot start the path to personal Christhood
until you see through and challenge that lie. You cannot start the path
until you are willing to challenge your outer beliefs, even challenge
the authorities who gave you those beliefs and who claim that they are
infallible. You must be willing to go within and make contact with your
Christ self and seek answers from that source.
You see, my beloved, this is the essential key to walking the spiritual
path. The key is that you must begin to find answers from within instead
of allowing any outer authority, be it your ego, a religious authority,
your best friend or someone who claims to be a spiritual teacher, to
tell you what is true. The central point is that you must begin to trust
the direction you get from within, so that you will not let anyone outside
yourself sway you from the path. And when I say anyone outside yourself,
I also mean your personal ego because that truly is also something that
is outside your Self.
When you have this understanding, it becomes very clear to you that
the path to Christhood is a series of decisions that you must make.
Only you can make those decisions, and the you that is making the decisions
is the conscious you, your conscious mind. Yet the key to making decisions
is to have accurate and complete information. So the question is whether
you make your decisions in life based on an outer authority or the inner
authority of your Christ self?
What I have given on this website are teachings and tools that can help
you establish a conscious contact with your Christ self. Thereby, you
can get inner answers that go beyond the outer teaching. It was never
my intention, and this has been stated clearly in several places for
those who have ears to hear, that the teachings on this website should
become of replacement for the directions from your Christ self.
It was my intention to give you a foundation that would enable you to
tell the difference between the true teachings from your Christ self
and the false teachings from the prince of this world. If you use the
teachings on this website for this purpose, you will do justice to my
efforts to set you free. If you allow the teachings on this website
to become an infallible doctrine that prevents you from thinking on
your own, then you are misusing my teachings and betraying my intent.
Do you see my point here? Even a true teaching can be misused and become
a tool for the forces of anti-christ that seek to pull you away from
the inner oneness with your Christ self and I AM Presence.
Why are you tempted?
With this in mind, let us take the next step. You need to recognize
that your soul was not born into the duality consciousness. As I explain
throughout this website, and as Mother Mary has explained, your soul
made choices that gradually caused you to descend into the duality consciousness.
You decided to move away from God, until you reached a turning point.
Everyone who is open to this website reached that turning point a long
time ago, and since then you have been walking the path that brings
you closer and closer to oneness, first with your Christ self, then
with your I AM Presence and then with God.
Yet the key I would give you here is that walking the path is a matter
of reversing the process that took you away from oneness. You moved
away from oneness because you came to accept certain lies that spring
from the consciousness of separation and duality. You were tempted with
these lies, as Eve was tempted in the Garden of Eden. You were tempted
by the Serpent and the serpentine logic.
By accepting a number of serpentine lies, you gradually moved away from
oneness without even realizing what was happening. Therefore, the key
to moving back toward oneness is that you must see through the very
serpentine lies that took you away from oneness. You must see through
these lies, and you must decide to replace the old decisions with new
decisions that bring you closer to oneness.
Beyond the intellect
The essential key here is that this process is not a matter of moving
toward a higher and more sophisticated human or intellectual understanding.
As I said earlier, the dualistic mind has set up two extremes, and most
people have been brought up to accept that these two extremes are accurate
and in alignment with the reality of God. Therefore, most spiritual
seekers believe that certain ideas are not spiritual, whereas other
ideas are truly spiritual.
Many seekers also believe that the more complex and sophisticated an
idea or teaching seems to the intellect, the more spiritual the teaching
must be. There are even those who claim to be spiritual teachers and
who seek to impress their students with a very complicated teaching,
claiming that only the sophisticated students can grasp the teaching.
In reality, the truth of Christ is not hard to understand, and it does
not require a sophisticated intellect. On the contrary, a sophisticated
intellect can often keep a student trapped in dualistic arguments that
can go on forever. That is why I said that unless you become as a little
child, you cannot enter the kingdom.
Many of the ideas that the religions of this world portray as being
true simply form the opposite polarity to what those same religions
proclaim to be the ideas of anti-christ. So you see, even that which
many religions claim to be truth springs from the consciousness of anti-christ,
the serpentine mind.
The scribes and the Pharisees believed they had a very sophisticated
understanding of the spiritual laws. And indeed, they had a very sophisticated
intellectual understanding of the doctrines of the outer religion. Yet
many of the ideas that they thought were true actually sprang from the
consciousness of duality, and therefore those ideas would take people
away from the inner oneness with their Christ selves.
No outer salvation
I am not saying that all of the ideas espoused by the scribes and Pharisees,
or all of the ideas promoted by the world's religions, are necessarily
false. Some of them are true teachings, yet they have been overlaid
by a subtle culture and belief system that tricks people into believing
that God is outside themselves and that the doorway to Heaven is outside
themselves. And thereby, even a true idea can become perverted into
serving the cause of anti-christ by taking you away from oneness with
the inner Christ.
As I said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” and you will
never find the kingdom of God until you stop looking for it outside
yourself. The key, whereby you can personally enter the kingdom of God,
is not found on this website, nor is it found in any other spiritual
teaching or practice. The key to your entrance into the kingdom of God
is found inside yourself. Therefore, if a teaching encourages you to
look for the key of knowledge outside yourself, then that teaching is
actually serving the cause of anti-christ by keeping you trapped in
the consciousness of duality.
My point being that anything which takes you away from the inner oneness
with your Christ self is a distraction from your spiritual progress.
Therefore, you must learn to recognize ideas and practices that tempt
you away from following what you know is true in your heart. This includes
spiritual teachings and other people who claim to be spiritual teachers.
You must be constantly vigilant
My point here is that in order to walk the spiritual path, you must
make the sacrifice of being constantly alert and vigilant. As I have
said many times, there is no automatic path to Christhood. You cannot
step on to a train, sit back and relax, and expect the train to take
you to your destination. The spiritual path is like walking a road,
and that road has many forks. Each fork represents a decision that only
you can make.
The essence of the decision is whether you will continue to affirm an
idea that springs from the mind of anti-christ or whether you will finally
see through that lie and denounce it by accepting the truth of Christ
that replaces the lie and thereby makes you free. Yet that path is not
automatic; it is a path that you must walk consciously and willingly.
You must be willing to endure the discomfort of challenging the beliefs
with which you are comfortable. And you must be willing to deal with
the challenge of constantly being alert, as you are exposed to some
of the multitude of dualistic ideas that are constantly bombarding anyone
who lives on this planet.
You need to be aware that, as a spiritual seeker, you will be challenged
and tempted by ideas that spring from the consciousness of anti-christ.
In many cases this temptation will be presented by other people. And
as I said earlier, do not expect that these tempters will appear with
two horns and hoofed feet. Instead, you should expect that they will
appear in a disguise. These are the false prophets, the wolves in sheep's
clothing, and many of them will appear in the disguise of spiritual
teachers or those who claim to be advanced students. They will say they
have walked the path and are beyond you, and therefore they can tell
you how you should walk your path.
I am not hereby saying that you should never listen to advice from anyone.
Obviously, you can always benefit from those who are ahead of you on
the path. However, what I am saying is that you need to be alert to
any situation where someone is trying to tempt or manipulate you into
ignoring, doubting or overriding your inner direction.
Beware the false teachers
There are true teachers and there are false teachers. The true teachers
will seek to help you establish a clear contact with your Christ self,
so that you can get answers from within. The false teachers will always
seek to insert themselves between you and your Christ self. They will
use many different lies to do this, and you need to learn how to recognize
them.
Some of the more obvious lies are found in the major religions of the
world, including the Catholic Church. They claim that you cannot know
truth on your own, but that truth can be known only through the scriptures
and the doctrines of the Church. This is an obvious ploy that all mature
spiritual seekers have seen through lifetimes ago, and that is indeed
why they are on the spiritual path instead of sitting in their Catholic
churches passively receiving from the pulpit. Yet there are many ploys
that are far more subtle, and they come in many enticing disguises.
If you will spend some time meditating on this and seeking direction
from your Christ self by using the tools I give on this website, including
the rosaries of Mother Mary and Archangel Michael, you can quickly learn
to recognize the lies. The tempter always comes to take you away from
your inner sense of oneness. You can see an example of this by studying
how I was tempted after my stay in the wilderness. This situation was
really a symbol of what happens when you walk the spiritual path.
Sometimes, in order to make progress on the path, you need to withdraw
yourself from the world, not necessarily in a physical manner, but you
withdraw from the consciousness of this world, the activities of this
world and the beliefs of this world. You come apart from the consciousness
of duality, so that you can be undisturbed and go within to establish
a connection with your Christ self.
Yet when you have established that connection, you come back into the
world, and you must anticipate that the consciousness of this world,
the prince of this world, will be right there to tempt you away from
the oneness you attained while you were apart. Therefore, the prince
of this world will come to see if he has something in you, whereby he
can tempt you into a dualistic reaction that takes you away from oneness.
Why does God allow you to be tempted?
You may think that God should have taken the Serpent away from this
world so that you were not tempted. However, that would be a violation
of the Law of Free Will. God gave you free will, and you have the right
to choose what you will believe and what you will allow to exist in
your world. Human beings chose to believe in the serpentine lies, and
therefore it is human beings who allow the Serpent and his representatives
to remain on Earth.
God can remove the serpents at any time, because truly Archangel Michael
has the power to consume the Serpent with the fire that consumes all
unlike itself. Yet until a critical mass of people separate themselves
from the consciousness of the Serpent, the law does not allow the Serpent
to be removed.
In order to make progress on the spiritual path, you have to see through
and replace the decisions that caused you to move away from oneness.
Therefore, the law allows the Serpent to tempt you. When you take a
step closer to oneness, it is allowed that the forces of this world
tempt you with the decisions that caused you to move away from oneness.
You must be confronted with those decisions, so that you have the opportunity
to consciously put them behind you. Thereby, you permanently remove
them from your being, so that they cannot pull you down any more.
In order to rise to Christhood, you must separate yourself from the
consciousness of the Serpent. One might say that a wrong decision is
like a stick of iron in your energy field, and the magnetic pull of
the consciousness of this world is constantly pulling on that iron,
thereby pulling on your mind and emotions. So only by throwing out that
stick of iron will you be free from the magnetic pull.
My point here is that as you walk the path to Christhood, you will make
things easier for yourself if you will make the effort to learn how
to recognize the tempter. Truly, that tempter will come to you every
time you take a step forward on the path and this is the way it will
be as long as you are here on Earth. There will not come a time when
you are no longer tempted. As long as you are in a physical body, you
will be tempted, yet the higher you move on the path of personal Christhood,
the easier it will be for you to see through the temptations and therefore
walk right through them as if they never even existed. That is when
the prince of this world comes to you, but he has nothing in you.
How to deal with the tempter
How do you deal with the temptation? You deal with it the same way I
did when I was tempted by the devil. You rebuke the tempter and his
temptation, you rebuke the false idea by affirming the truth. Take note
that I rebuked the devil, I did not argue with him or reason with him.
I simply stated the truth that refuted the devil’s temptation.
I did not attempt to convince him that he was wrong because had I done
so, I would have become involved in a dualistic argument that would
have tied me to the consciousness of the devil.
You see, when the tempter presents you with a particular idea, it is
not his primary purpose to make you accept that idea. His overall purpose
is to tempt you into arguing about the idea, so that you are pulled
into the dualistic state of consciousness. You are thereby tempted to
engage in a dualistic argument, and the tempter does not care who is
right or who ends up being convinced.
The tempter’s only goal is to keep you trapped in the consciousness
of duality, and even if you think you have won the argument, you can
still be trapped in that consciousness. Therefore, you might think you
have won the battle, but you have lost the war. The tempter has won
because he has managed to keep you trapped in the dualistic state of
consciousness.
Yet take note that I was not silent in the face of the devil’s
temptations. I rebuked the devil but I did so in a way that was non-attached.
I stated the truth without arguing or reasoning. Also, take note that
I cast the money changers out of the Temple, when they had entered the
house of God and were parading their wares of false beliefs, false doctrines
and dualistic ideas. Take note that I challenged the scribes and the
Pharisees and anyone else who promoted dualistic ideas. This is the
essence of the path to Christhood, namely that you do not remain passive
in the face of evil.
From self-centered to God-centered
There are many people who consider themselves to be spiritual teachers
or advanced spiritual students, yet they promote a path that is completely
self-centered. They make it seem like all that matters is you and your
personal growth. Yet truly, to walk the path of Christhood, you must
come to the point, where you are no longer walking that path for your
own sake. You are not walking the path to attain your own spiritual
growth or to feel that you are somehow more advanced than others.
There must come a point where you walk the path only to serve others
and thereby serve the cause of God, which is to set all people free
from duality. The Christ is not a person who seeks his own spiritual
growth. The Christ is a person who recognizes that all life is one,
and therefore the Christ is here to awaken those who are spiritually
dead. He seeks to awaken people to the true life of the Christ consciousness,
as opposed to the death of the dualistic state of consciousness.
My point is that a Christed being cannot ignore evil and cannot remain
passive in the face of evil. Yet the Christed being will not fight evil
by engaging evil at its own level of consciousness. The Christed being
stays above the dualistic consciousness, and therefore he or she brings
the truth that will make people free.
Some people will reject that truth, and a Christed being accepts the
fact that these people have their free will and therefore have the right
to reject Christ truth. In the face of this rejection, a Christed being
remains at peace, remains non-attached, and that non-attachment then
becomes the judgment of the people who reject the living Christ.
My point for giving you this long discourse is to show you that you
have two challenges on the path to Christhood. You must go through a
phase, where you establish the connection to your Christ self, which
is the only way to learn how to discern the difference between the ideas
that are truly of Christ or ideas that only claim to be of Christ but
in reality spring from the duality consciousness.
As you attain that inner recognition, you must dare to let your light
shine before men and bring them the truth that can make them free—if
they accept it. You never seek to force people into accepting truth.
It is your role to present them with truth so that they have an alternative
to the dualistic ideas of human “right” and human “wrong.”
And once you have given them that truth, you leave it up to them whether
they will accept or reject it. You allow them to judge themselves based
on their acceptance or rejection of Christ truth.
Learn how to recognize the tempter
My point is that you must be constantly alert because whenever you interact
with other human beings, you can anticipate that some people will become
exponents for the consciousness of the tempter. This does not mean that
you should judge these people as being evil or being of the devil. You
simply recognize that a person is temporarily believing in a dualistic
lie and is therefore – knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or
unwillingly – becoming a tool for the tempter.
Because you know that the law allows the tempter to tempt you, you have
no need to be angry with the other person. You do not judge the person
in a negative way, yet neither do you enter into the consciousness that
you have to convert the person or convince others of the errors of their
ways. You should recognize that what you are dealing with is not the
outer person who promotes the idea. When you look behind the surface,
what you are dealing with is the tempter himself who is speaking through
that person. Therefore, you deal with the outer person as if it was
the tempter himself. You simply state truth and rebuke the error without
becoming attached to convincing the other person of anything.
If you look at the world and the long history of how ideas have influenced
humankind, you will see that most people have been enveloped in a struggle
between two dualistic ideas and belief systems. This has caused numerous
well-meaning people to spend lifetimes engaged in this dualistic struggle,
thinking they were fighting for a good cause, while they were only serving
the cause of the prince of this world. As long as people are trapped
in this dualistic struggle, the devil is firmly in control of this planet.
What I desire to see it is that those who are the Christed beings on
Earth will see through this dualistic struggle and decide to rise above
it. How do you rise above it? By turning the other cheek, by not resisting
evil but by stating Christ truth and rebuking evil without engaging
it. To do this, you must remain true to the highest truth that you can
currently grasp in your heart. You must never let any outer force, including
your own ego, take you away from what you feel is true in your heart.
I am not saying that what you feel in your heart is necessarily the
highest possible truth. You should always be open to the fact that your
Christ self can give you a higher truth at any moment. Yet what I am
saying is that you should never let an outside force cause you to doubt
or deny the truth you see in your heart.
The temptation of Eve
Take note of the inner meaning behind the story of how Eve was tempted
by the Serpent in the garden of Eden. Eve had been told not to eat of
the fruit of the knowledge and good and evil, which is truly a symbol
for the consciousness of duality. She had been told by her spiritual
teacher that if she ate of that fruit, she would surely die. How did
the Serpent tempt Eve? He did so by inserting the element of doubt into
her consciousness. He said, “Thou shalt not surely die.”
Eve believed this lie, and therefore she ate the forbidden fruit. Many
people look at this story and say, “But the Serpent was right,
Eve did not die.” Yet what these people do not understand is that
the word “death” was used to mean spiritual death. Eve died
in the sense that she lost her oneness with the spiritual teacher and
with her I AM Presence, and that loss of oneness is truly spiritual
death.
It is true that the soul can still continue to exist, at least for a
time. Yet the immortal spiritual being created by God has now become
a mortal human being, which must continue to reincarnate until it either
runs out of opportunity or climbs back to the Christ consciousness,
whereby it regains its true identity as a son or daughter of God.
The lesson of the story is that because Eve had blindly accepted a direction
from outside herself, she had not fully internalized the lesson given
by the teacher. She had accepted what the teacher said, but she saw
it as coming from somewhere outside herself. Therefore, the outer authority
of the teacher could be cast into doubt by another external authority
that presented itself in a convincing manner.
My beloved, do you see why this website continually stresses the need
to go within and make contact with the inner authority of your Christ
self? If you receive a truth from inside yourself, that truth becomes
internalized into your being, so that it will not be cast into doubt
by an outer authority. No matter how an external authority will tempt
you, you stand firm on the rock of Christ and can therefore withstand
the winds of the tempter, as they attempt to blow down your house.
The discussion forum
This teaching has a direct bearing on what has been occurring on the
discussion forum of this website. You must understand that the forum
was given as an opportunity for you to exercise and express your Christhood.
It is your forum; it is not my forum and it is not Kim’s forum.
Therefore, it is not Kim’s responsibility to moderate the forum.
I have been waiting for those who would take a stand and say, “We
will take up our responsibility to exercise and express our Christhood.”
You have a right to determine that there are certain elements you will
not allow on the forum. You have a right to challenge any inharmonious
influence, and when you have been tempted three times, you have a right
to say “No more, we will not allow this in our community.”
Yet I must tell you that the very fact that you have been tempted is
a sign that you have reached a level of Christhood, where you are a
threat to the forces of this world. They know you are close to breaking
through to a higher level, and they want to prevent you from reaching
that level. Yet this temptation is allowed by the law of God. This does
not mean that you have to allow the tempters to abide forever. It means
that you have to recognize that the tempters are allowed to enter until
you declare that enough is enough.
Again, be aware of those who attempt to take you away from what you
feel in your heart. If you have been attracted to this website, and
if you have started giving the rosaries of Mother Mary, then it can
be for only one reason, namely that the teachings on this website resonate
with your inner being. There is no one who can be attracted exclusively
out of a desire to gratify their egos. The teachings and the path on
this website will not gratify the egos of anyone.
Surely, even the teachings on this website can be misused. Yet it is
not possible to diligently use Mother Mary’s rosaries and study
the teachings on this website without having your ego challenged. Therefore,
if you truly feel in your heart that the teachings and practices on
this website resonate with your inner being, then it is because your
Christ self is telling you that at this particular stage of your personal
path, you can benefit from those teachings and practices.
Therefore, you should follow your inner direction and be alert to when
someone from the outside comes and uses sophisticated arguments to tempt
you into disregarding, doubting or overriding what you feel in your
heart. You should recognize that such an interference can come only
from the tempter. Therefore, you should feel free to rebuke the tempter
and use the incident to strengthen your inner connection.
It is my hope that this website will lead to the building of a community
of people who are sincerely pursuing personal Christhood. The discussion
forum is meant to be one manifestation of this community. And you should
recognize that any attempt to establish a community dedicated to Christ
consciousness will be attacked by the forces of this world. Therefore,
you will be tempted and challenged by these forces, and the challenges
will only become more intense as the website and the community continues
to grow.
Take note that no true teacher ever said that you have to be open to
any idea presented to you. It is not the role of a Christed being to
be tolerant of every idea. It is the role of a Christed being to discern
between ideas that are of God and ideas that spring from the consciousness
of anti-christ. The Christed being will then denounce the errors and
the lies by stating the truth.
Likewise, it is not the role of a Christed being to tolerate any human
being or any type of behavior. It is the role of the Christ not to judge
by a dualistic standard but to challenge people's incorrect beliefs
or unloving behavior. And if people will not let go of those beliefs
but continue in their ways, then the Christed being has a right to say
that, "I simply do not have time to deal with you. It is my role
to help those who are open to coming up higher in consciousness, so
there is a limit to how much time I will spend on those who are not
willing to challenge their egos, their erroneous beliefs."
It is also the role of the Christ to defend those who are not yet firmly
anchored on the path and who can therefore be manipulated by those with
sophisticated intellects and impure intentions. The tempter is not a
passive force. It is a very aggressive force, and it uses a form of
aggressive mental suggestion to insert ideas into people’s minds,
ideas that pull them into the consciousness of doubt. No truly spiritual
community can survive without taking measures to defend itself from
the onslaught of the prince of this world.
I would love to raise every human being on this planet to the level
of the Christ consciousness. Yet I am a practical realist and I practice
the art of the possible. Therefore, I focus my attention on those who
are willing to walk the path because I know that if I raise up those
who are closest to Christhood, they will form a magnet that will pull
up the rest of humanity. If I instead went to those who are firmly trapped
in duality and attempted to raise their consciousness, it would take
much longer to change this planet. And as Mother Mary has attempted
to explain, we simply do not have time to wait for those who will not
change. We have to raise the consciousness of those who are willing
to change and who are willing to do something to transform the negative
energies that burden this planet by giving a rosary or other spiritual
practices. I do not need those who will empty themselves, I need those
who will allow themselves to be filled with light, so that they radiate
that light and become miniature suns that will dispel the darkness covering
the Earth.
So let me once again say that the discussion forum on this website is
your forum. It is your responsibility, and you need to determine what
will happen to it. You need to exercise your Christ discernment and
determine what you will allow on the forum. In that respect, let me
say that there is a tendency for those who are the most loving people
to also be the most passive people. Often, the people who have the most
loving hearts, and therefore in some respects are closer to Christhood,
are reluctant to speak out and challenge the lie and the error.
Yet, as I have attempted to explain, there comes a point where you cannot
make further progress unless you start looking beyond your own comfortability
and begin to work for the growth of others by bringing them the truth
that will make them free. And yes, because there is so much error in
this world, bringing the truth also means that you must be willing to
challenge the lie wherever it appears. And if challenging the lie makes
you uncomfortable, then you need to be willing to deal with that discomfort
so that you can rise to a higher level of Christhood.
So the challenge is always, will the Christed beings step up to the
plate and propel the discussion forum into a positive spiral, or will
they allow others to take the forum into a negative spiral that will
cause it to self-destruct? The question is always that you must choose
whom you will serve, the mind of Christ or the mind of anti-christ.
You must choose to be or not to be. And as always, I say, “Choose
life!”
