El
Morya, April 8, 2007.
El Morya I AM! And I am indeed the Chohan of the Will of God. Yet
I come to give you a deeper understanding of the Will of God. For
again, my beloved, in previous times – even in previous organizations
that we have sponsored – we have been limited to giving an understanding
of the Will of God that was appropriate, given the state of consciousness
of humankind at the time, even given the state of consciousness of
the members of the previous organizations we have sponsored.
So you see, my beloved, progressive revelation is progressive precisely
because as humankind steps up in consciousness – as our closest
disciples step up in consciousness – we can release a more profound
understanding of some aspect of God than what we could release yesterday
or years ago.
A higher understanding of the Will of God
And so, my beloved, in previous organizations I have indeed personally
given an understanding of the Will of God that was not the highest
possible, for we did not yet have the magnificent teachings released
that we have seen within the last year and more through this activity
of the focus on non-duality, the consciousness of duality, exposing
how it pulls everything into two extremes.
And so you see, my beloved, children must be given hard and fast rules.
Do this—don’t do that. For they do not yet have the maturity
to decide for themselves, to come to a greater understanding and recognition.
And so, in previous times I have been limited to giving an understanding
of the Will of God that is somewhat black-and-white. And indeed, there
are many people in today’s world who are beyond the black-and-white
thinking. Yet they have come into the gray
thinking of thinking that you can ignore the Will of God altogether.
For after all, you have free will so you can do whatever you want.
And in a sense this is perfectly correct. You do have free will, and
you can do whatever you want. But, as we have explained,
whatever you project into the cosmic mirror, the cosmic mirror will
reflect back to you, so you will experience what you create. And so,
we again face the situation that you have used your free will to either
create or enter into these roles
in the play that are defined by the dualistic thinking. And you
have free will to do this.
So indeed, from a certain perspective one can say that it is the Will
of God that you can create this experience for yourself—if you
desire to experience the contrast between light and dark, joy and
sorrow. But it is not the Will of God that you should stay stuck in
those roles forever. Neither is it the will of your own higher Being,
for my beloved, you did not come to earth to fight other people in
a ceaseless, endless struggle. You came here out of a positive desire
to bring the light of your own Being into this world. And therefore
light up the world and truly bring the material universe and the entire
sphere to the point of ascending and becoming part of the spiritual
realm that is beyond duality, so that you can experience that endless,
infinite bliss that has no contrast.
So the Will of God is not something that can be fully understood in
black-and-white terms. But neither can it be explained in gray terms.
It can only be understood by going beyond and contemplating the reality
that you do have the right to make your own decisions, but until you
become aware of why you are making certain decisions and what consequences
those decisions have, you do not truly have freedom, freedom of choice.
True freedom of choice
So you see, my beloved, you have an entire movement in the United
States that champions a woman’s right to choose what to do with
her own body. Yet that same movement is violently opposed to giving
that woman – when she enters an abortion clinic – information
about the potential dangers of abortion, the potential psychological
effects of abortion, the alternatives to abortion—even the higher
teachings on the soul
perspective on abortion.
And so, how can a movement truly be said to be championing a woman’s
freedom of choice, if they will not give that woman the entire information
she needs in order to make a truly free choice? You see, my beloved,
this is not freedom of choice. And so, when you are stuck in one of
the dualistic roles, you might think that you can do anything you
want, but if you do not fully understand what is involved with the
decision, you are not making a free decision.
And so, again, because you have free will, you can envelop yourself
in a limited state of mind where you do not have free choice, but
it is not God’s will that you stay there forever. And that is
why the Living Christ is sent to Earth. That is why the Word incarnates—in
order to awaken people to the reality that there is an alternative
to the entire decision-making process in which they are currently
stuck.
And so, how can people escape duality? Well, they can do so only by
reaching for something outside their current mental box. And indeed,
in the beginning it is necessary for people to have some kind of hard-and-fast
rule which says essentially, “If you do this, you will go to
hell. If you do that, you will go to heaven.” For this allows
people an absolute guideline that their own egos cannot manipulate.
And if they will follow that guideline, even as many people do in
a traditional Christian churches – where they are very black-and-white
in terms of following outer rules – well then they can at least
gradually grow out of the total domination of the ego, the total inability
to determine what is right and wrong in a higher sense, for everything
seems gray to them. Or everything seems dualistic.
Yet as we have explained, there comes that point where you have to
step up and not simply follow the outer rules, but go within and get
your direction from within instead of blindly following an outer rule,
or an outer doctrine, or an outer leader. And this is indeed when
you have to attain the deeper understanding of the Will of God that
I am talking about. And that understanding could not be given in previous
dispensations, which is why many of the students of those dispensations
still hold on to the black-and-white view of the Will of God—as
something they have to follow without questioning, almost as if they
were robots following a leader.
And yet, my beloved, when you come to the realization that there is
more to it than the black-and-white and gray thinking, you suddenly
realize that you cannot take the Will of God and draw it down and
create some rule that applies to all situations. This is the ego
again, with its incessant dream of an automatic salvation where
it says, “Give me a rule that I do not eat with unwashen hands,
so that I can believe that as long as I follow that outer rule I am
guaranteed to go to heaven.”
The Will of God is beyond rules
Yet the mature spiritual seekers need to step up and realize that
when you go beyond the childhood stage, the kindergarten stage, you
need to come to a deeper understanding of the Will of God. And that
is when you begin to realize that you cannot confine the Will of God
to any hard-and-fast rule in this world. For indeed, my beloved, the
Will of God is simply one expression of the Logos, of the Word of
God. And as Jesus has eloquently explained,
the Living Christ comes into this world to meet a person where this
person is at in consciousness and then challenge the person’s
illusions, challenge the person’s mental box in order to get
that person to come up higher.
So my beloved, what is the Will of God? Well, it is that wherever
YOU are at – wherever YOU are at, wherever YOU are at –
you take one step higher on your path. Do you see what I am saying?
The Will of God for one person right now – at that person’s
particular stage of the spiritual path – is not the same as
the Will of God for another person who is at a different level. And
so you now come into the realization that you cannot have a spiritual
organization, a mature spiritual organization, which sets these hard-and-fast
rules, saying all members of that organization should follow these
rules or they will be excommunicated and possibly sent to hell.
And so you see, my beloved, what we need to see in the Aquarian Age
is the emergence of an organization, such as what you have seen in
this activity, that does not set rules for what you should do and
what you should not do. And this, of course, is a challenge, for suddenly
all responsibility is placed on the individual. You see, my beloved,
there was a time – as Jesus explained in a recent
discourse – where I sponsored the organization of the
Summit Lighthouse and gave a certain sponsorship to each person that
entered and vowed to live up to certain outer rules. This was the
old way, the Piscean way. And while it has its place, it is not the
ultimate goal of a spiritual organization.
For surely, as Maitreya explains in great detail in
his book, you will not become the Christ by following anyone else.
You will not even become the Christ by being under the sponsorship
of an ascended master, for becoming the Christ means that you become
spiritually self-sufficient. And now you do not need someone or something
outside yourself to tell you what it is the Will of God. For you can
go within your heart, become one with your own God flame, and thus
you will know what the specific Will of God is for you in this specific
situation.
Find the Will of God within
You see, my beloved, I am the Chohan of the First Ray of God’s
Will, so I represent the Will of God to the spiritual seekers on Earth.
And it is my job to help everyone get a greater understanding for
and connection to the Will of God, and I must do so at different levels.
So for those who are in kindergarten, I give them a black-and-white
teaching and a set of rules. But I always look forward to those who
can rise beyond that level and who are willing to take responsibility
for themselves, even to the point where they realize that as long
as they look at El Morya as being outside themselves, then they have
not fully come into oneness with the Will of God.
For my beloved, who are you listening to right now? You are listening
to an ascended Being who is speaking through a person in embodiment.
And thus – clearly – the word of that ascended being is
coming to you from outside your sphere of self, entering your sphere
of self, which is perfectly valid. For as long as people are out of
touch with the Will of God, they can only come into oneness with the
Will of God by having some element from the outside that gives them
a lodestone, a guideline, a leaven that can raise the whole loaf of
their consciousness, the body and blood of Christ that they can multiply.
But you will not manifest your Christhood by taking in only from without.
You will manifest your Christhood only when you realize that what
you experienced from without is not outside yourself. For you can
find the Will of God in the kingdom of God within you. And so, as
we have said throughout this conference, experiencing the Living Word
from without, will only have ultimate meaning when you allow that
word from without to become alive in your own hearts, so that you
will find the Will of God in your own hearts. And you suddenly realize
that the Being that you identified as El Morya – as an ascended
master speaking through an embodied messenger – is also in your
heart. For where do I reside, my beloved? I reside in the kingdom
of God. And where is the kingdom of God? It is within you!
So, when the outer El Morya becomes one with the inner El Morya, then
you will know El Morya. And then you will know the Will of God for
you. For it is unique for each one of you. And each one of you have
a unique opportunity to express a specific facet of the Will of God.
For my beloved, contrary to what some of our previous students believe,
we of the ascended masters have no desire to turn our students into
robots, into blind followers. We want to raise you up to become here
below all that you are above. It is indeed the false teachers of this
world who want to turn people into robots who blindly follow them
and who will, so to speak, drink the cool-aide when they are told
to do so.
This is the way of the ascended masters. Yet as I have said, in previous
organizations we had to give people a more simplified way that was
adapted to their state of consciousness, so we had to give them rules.
But I will also tell you that we have had organizations – and
we still have organizations on this Earth – where we give people
so many rules to box them in so tightly that hopefully they will come
to that point of saying, “I have had enough of this. I have
had enough of this role of being the goodie-two-shoes who always follows
all the outer rules to the letter. I can’t even move anymore.
There has got to be more to the spiritual path than this.”
And that is then when people can go one of two ways. They can go into
total rebellion and saying, “I will have nothing more to do
with the spiritual path or any spiritual organization.” As we
indeed have seen some students do. But my beloved, why do they react
that way? They react that way for only one reason. Namely –
as Maitreya explains in his book – they refuse to take full
responsibility for themselves. And so instead of taking the responsibility
to connect to the Will of God within themselves, they find it easier
to follow an outer teacher who promises them that he will save them
if they will follow him blindly.
[This paragraph added later per El Morya’s instruction] The
second option is that instead of going from one extreme – total
submission to the outer rules – to the opposite extreme
– total rebellion – they can go beyond duality and find
a more discerning understanding of the Will of God. Thus, realizing
that the only way to know the specific Will of God for you is through
the Living Word within yourself. Meaning that the restoration of the
WORD is the master key to restoring the Will of God on Earth.
And so, my beloved, this is the challenge you all face. Do you want
to know the Will of God? Well, then stop looking for it outside yourself!
For the Will of God is in the kingdom of God. And the kingdom of God
is, as we have said a million times – hoping that one of these
days it will click – well it is within you. For where else can
it possibly be found, given what you know that everything was made
from the LOGOS. And therefore, the
LOGOS must be in everything—including in you.
