Saint Germain,
October 29, 2009.
Our teaching is a living teaching
Do you not understand, my beloved; we are not trying to bring forth
a teaching that is absolute, that could never change? When will you
understand this and stop analyzing and trying to turn everything into
that linear teaching, where you feel you have things under control?
Give up, my beloved, the need to feel that you are in control and
that you know everything. Flow with the River of Life and realize,
as Jesus has recently
said, you cannot be in embodiment without having some kind of
mental box. And so, there is always something to give up. And if you
take one of our teachings and say that this is now the ultimate understanding
of angels or any other topic, well then you are using that teaching
to create or reinforce a mental box. And this is not what we desire,
this is not our purpose for giving a teaching.
We give a teaching to remind
you that there is something MORE, something beyond the outer religions
of this world. There is an inner path, my beloved. The living path
is what we seek to give you teachings about. Not that you may know
it and analyze it intellectually, but you may tune into it in your
hearts. That is our purpose. When you turn it into an intellectual,
outer teaching, well you have shut off the heart. And thus, you have
shut us out, for what are we, the Ascended Host, my beloved? We are
not the outer teaching—this I trust you can see. And thus, what is
it you want? Do you want just the outer teachings? Are you satisfied
with the outer teachings?
Do you hear this bell* in the background, my beloved, do you hear
it? Do you see the structure they have built up there, the monument
they have built on this mountain that they have decided was the Mount
of Transfiguration, even though I can tell you that it was not.
Do you see that if you go into that church, that monastery, you will
find people there who for most of them are satisfied with the outer
teachings of Christ. And what does that mean? It means there is not
room in their hearts for an encounter with the Living Christ.
Fearing an encounter with the Living Master
They are afraid of the Living Master, who would appear to them and
speak to them in their hearts—if they only would give him room to
enter, if there was only room within for the living Christ to be born.
But they are afraid of it, because somewhere in their beings they
know that if they encountered the Living Christ, they would have to
make the choice between life and death. They would have to make the
choice to take responsibility for themselves instead of continuing
in the drama, my beloved.
For you go and see so many of these mainstream Christians today, and
you will see that they have defined a drama, where they only need
to keep playing their part, and then they think they swill be rewarded
in the end by Jesus appearing—somehow taking away their sins, and
that is the only requirement for them entering heaven. To have their
sins taken away by Christ and to live a “good” Christian life, defined
according to some outer earthly standard.
You who claim to be students of the ascended masters, you should know
better. You should realize the difference between wanting only an
outer teaching or wanting an encounter with a living master, my beloved.
You are free to do whatever you want. I have no intention whatsoever
of forcing you. I only offer you my living Presence as the master
of Aquarius.
If you think that any teaching
given through any messenger or dispensation, can capture and hold
my living Presence, then I say, “May you live happily in your drama.”
And then, when you are ready to give it up, I will still be here for
you. For I cannot reach you, if you are focused on the outer teaching,
and if you take any teaching given by Saint Germain, given under that
name, and turn it into a mental box.
Because then you have no chance whatsoever of encountering my living
Presence that I offer to you 24 hours a day, my beloved. For I too
am with you always. We who are the Ascended Host are with you always.
Which does not mean that we will be with you for an eternity. For
some day your time will run out—whereas my time will never run out,
for I am beyond time, for I have transcended my dramas. But it does
mean that while you are in embodiment, we are there at any moment
at any time. You do not need to wait for this cosmic event. You simply
need to decide that this is the time where I want a more direct encounter
with the Ascended Host than what I can get through an outer teaching.
This messenger is a messenger because he
decided that—he looked to us and said, “I want more. I want a
more direct encounter with you.” And you know that the answer was
instantaneous—if he was willing, my beloved, to serve in a greater
capacity. And because he was willing, he got that encounter with Jesus.
This was not for his own growth or for his own glorification. This
was not for the raising up of that separate self to have some special
status. For if you come to us from that perspective – of wanting an
encounter with the ascended masters so that your separate self can
feel special – well then you will still be wandering in the desert
for forty years or more, without entering the promised land, my beloved.
Be willing to move in order to serve
Instead, come to us with that openness of the heart, where you are
willing to serve, to give something to others. Then you will feel
our presence there, as we direct you to how you can serve. But be
aware, my beloved, that this might mean dramatic changes in your life.
For there are so many times, where you cannot serve to your full capacity
in the circumstances you are in right now. Has this not been demonstrated
by all of us in our earthly lives, such as Master MORE talked about
in his incarnation as Abraham, where he had to leave his land – leave
the circumstances where he was comfortable and felt in control – and
move around, not feeling quite in control, but feeling nevertheless
the Presence of that inner guidance with him.
This, my beloved, is indeed what we look for in our students. Those
who are willing to walk into the unknown, to take one step at a time.
Those are true students, following the inner path, not some outer
direction. For my beloved, do you not understand, as Maitreya
has explained, that there is a time where you can follow the guru,
the external guru, but there is a time, where you must go within and
follow the internal guru only.
[A church bell rings in the background]
Ah, my beloved, for whom do the bells toll? Well, the bells you hear
are outer expressions, but there is a symbol in the bell. For I tell
you that for each of you, your I AM Presence is sounding a bell, calling
you to come up higher. Not to go into some outer church and worship
some external image of Christ, but to go within the church of the
heart – to go within your closet, as Jesus said – and there find the
living Presence of the Christ in whatever form it is for you, whatever
master is close to your heart. Is it me, is it Jesus, Mother Mary,
Master MORE or any of the Masters? Find that master, cling to that
master, open your mind and heart to the living Presence of that master,
and then be willing to be led wherever it takes you, even if it makes
no sense for your outer mind.
Be willing to make those seismic shifts in your life that will put
you on the path of your service. Not the path TO your service, my
beloved, for be careful to realize that this dream of some goal of
some ultimate service is just another drama. The reality is that your
service is a process, an ongoing process that will continue for this
lifetime and possibly in other lifetimes or continuing in the ascended
realm, when you have no more need or desire to embody.
Life is a process. There is no ultimate result, for even when you
attain the consciousness of the Creator level, you immediately start
creating—and thus the process continues.
A secret understood by few people
Life, my beloved, is a process. This is true alchemy. It never stops,
it never stands still. And it never goes back, for you cannot step
into the River of Life twice and have the same experience. For the
River of Life is always transcending itself.
I am always transcending myself. I am always in search of new students,
who will tune in to my heart. But as I have said before, you must
be willing – as the one requirement I have – to question everything,
especially your drama in which you are comfortable—even when you are
miserable.
Question why that can be so. How can it be that at one level I think
I am miserable but at another level I am not willing to question why.
And therefore, I am actually comfortable in that state of misery,
for I do not have to take responsibility for myself and make creative
decisions.
Creative decisions, my
beloved, means that there is no predefined outcome, there is no right
outcome, there is no wrong outcome. There is only an outcome, which
then becomes a foundation for you learning something more and making
better decisions, more creative decisions. And thus spiraling upwards,
ever spiraling upwards, into what eventually accelerates and becomes
the ascension spiral.
I have said before that I secured my ascension by making one million
right decisions. But do you think those decisions were made at the
same level, at the same state of consciousness? No, my beloved. Those
decisions were made in an ascending spiral, and that means that the
decisions became more and more subtle, more and more open-ended, more
and more creative, my beloved.
Let me give you a secret that extremely few people have understood.
For you see, it has been said, that as you ascend the path, the initiations,
the tests you get, become more and more subtle. And many have understood
this to mean that it becomes more difficult to see the difference
between right and wrong. For they still have, my beloved, the image
that even at the higher levels of the path of Christhood, there is
a right choice and a wrong choice. And they think it becomes more
difficult to tell the difference.
But you see,
my beloved, right and wrong are dualistic concepts, defined by the
epic dramas. And thus, when you reach the higher levels of Christhood,
you realize a stunning truth. There is no longer the need to compare
your decisions based on a dualistic standard of right and wrong.
It is not that you always make right decisions—it is that you throw
away the dualistic measure of right and wrong, you transcend it. And
thus, there are things you never do at that level of consciousness,
such as harming people, but everything you do at that level, is RIGHT.
For there is no standard any longer that can hold your ever-self-transcending
Spirit.
This is a key to ponder for those who are willing to truly leave behind
the epic dramas. What do the epic dramas do? They define a standard,
a dualistic standard, and you think you have to live up to it. And
if you do, you are right and if you do not, you are wrong. But my
beloved, you have to see this standard for the illusion it is and
say, “I will no more let my life be imprisoned by the standard. I
will be who I will be, regardless of what other people say or what
the standard says. For I am the living Christ, and I flow with the
River of Life, wherever it takes me, that I may serve to shatter people's
mental boxes, for that is my calling. It is not myself, it is not
about me any longer, it is about serving the All, being the All,”
my beloved.
