The descent into duality
How, my beloved, did all of this descent into duality begin? It began,
as Maitreya explains, when a sphere had come to the point of ascension,
where it could ascend and become a part of the spiritual realm. Where
it had reached the critical intensity of light that made it possible
to accelerate the entire sphere into the higher vibrations of the
spiritual realm—the vibrations of unconditionality, of love. And yet,
what was the condition for that acceleration to take place? Well,
you see, my beloved, you had a great number of beings who had applied
themselves in a very concentrated effort in order to raise their sphere
to that level. They had made great efforts. They had truly worked
selflessly, so to speak, on raising all beings in their sphere to
that point.
But you see, even in so doing, some of them had retained a remnant
of the separate self, thinking that by working so hard to raise up
their sphere, they would receive what they perceived as some ultimate
reward by God for their efforts. And so, it was a great shock to them
when all of the beings who had been the forerunners for raising the
sphere were called, and they were shown that the next logical step
for them was not to enter the spiritual realm as some kind of superheroes
– receiving position and recognition in that spiritual realm – but
instead, their next logical step was to lay down their lives, their
attainment, their self-awareness and give that momentum and self-awareness
and attainment as the foundation for creating the next sphere that
would start out as an unenlightened sphere—inhabited by beings with
a limited sense of self-awareness. Thereby, the sophisticated beings
in the ascending sphere would, so to speak, let their beings descend,
and now they would become the ones who allowed the beings in the next
sphere to do with their light according to their free will.
This was a logical step because in the sphere that was ascending,
that sphere was created out of the beings of those in a higher sphere.
And so, the beings who were now at the top of the ascending sphere
were simply being asked to do for others what others had done for
them. Many of these beings were ready to ascend – to shed the last
remnants of the separate self – and gladly embraced this opportunity.
Which is why the next sphere was created—leading to your own. You
would not be here unless someone had volunteered to lay down their
lives to give you the opportunity to have a sphere in which you could
grow in self-awareness. Thus, it is only logical that as you come
to having made maximum use of this opportunity, you are asked to extend
that opportunity to others, my beloved.
Yet, there were a small number, among the beings that had the opportunity
to ascend, who did not want to give up that last remnant of the separate
self. So they rebelled against God’s plan. And they wanted to keep
owning what they saw as a superior position in their sphere, which
they believed they had earned, and therefore [they] were entitled
to keep experiencing that superiority for a time longer. And so, they
demanded to be exempt from this—to set themselves apart as their sphere
ascended. And in so doing, of course, they automatically fell into
the next sphere that was created. For they could not maintain an existence
in the ascended sphere, and thus could only go into the sphere that
was not yet ascended and therefore had room for the separate self
to continue to exist.
And yet, these beings were not stripped of their attainment. And so,
they did, indeed, come into the next sphere with a far greater attainment
and awareness than the beings who were just starting out in that sphere.
And so, naturally, they set themselves up as leaders—as precisely
what Jesus called the blind leaders of the blind followers. Some of
their followers actually having followed them from the ascended sphere
where they had leadership positions. And those of their followers
who were not willing to let go of their obedience to their leaders,
they had to fall as well.
