Jesus,
May 20, 2007
In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God and the WORD
was God. My beloved hearts, what is the WORD? Well, it is ultimately
the Christ consciousness. But on Earth, in the material realm, it
has another meaning as well. And that is that it is through the WORD
that people impress their mental images upon the Mother Light. And
thus, it is through the WORD that they co-create. So therefore, the
WORD means the beliefs, the images, the world view that you hold in
your four lower bodies and that you use in order to co-create your
reality in the physical realm.
For it
is through your four lower bodies – it is through the beliefs
and images that you hold in those bodies – that you impress
upon the Mother Light what you want to outpicture. Or perhaps what
you do not consciously want to outpicture, but nevertheless the Mother
Light forms a mirror and therefore will outpicture whatever you send
out. As I explained 2,000 years ago when I told people to do unto
others as they would have others do unto themselves—meaning
that what you do unto others will be what the Mother Light and the
cosmic mirror thinks that you want the universe to reflect back to
you in the form of physical conditions.
How the Catholic Church distorted the WORD
So, my beloved, when I came as Jesus, I came to restore the WORD to
Israel and to the world. For they had lost the true understanding
of the WORD and they had lost it precisely because they had become
the victims of the plots of those who are the fallen beings who have
entered the serpentine consciousness, and who have sought to control
humankind, as Maitreya
explains in his book.
And the primary means for this control is to pacify the people so
that they do not believe they have access to the Living Word inside
themselves. And therefore, their entire world view – their
entire belief system, their entire concept of themselves, of God,
of life – is determined by outer teachings—be it a religious
teaching or a political ideology or a scientific mindset and world
view.
Thus, my beloved, I came to restore the Living Word to Israel. But
most people were not ready for it. And as Christianity began to spread
throughout Europe, then certainly the fallen beings saw that this
would spell their doom—unless they did something to stop the
spreading of the Living Word and the understanding of the Living Word.
And so what did they do? Well, when it became apparent to them that
they could not stop the spread of Christianity – although
it was not Christianity as you see it today – that they could
not stop the spread of the early Christian movement, well they did
what they have always done—if you can't beat them, join them!
And so
they joined the Christian movement, and, through the help of one of
their primary henchmen, Constantine, they turned it into an official
religion that very quickly became as rigid and closed as the religion
that persecuted and killed me when I walked this Earth in a physical
body.
And so you see, my beloved, dating back to the “conversion”
of Constantine, Western civilization was set on a specific track that
first was dominated by the Catholic Church—that for many years
had a grip on the WORD in Europe. Do you see my beloved? The Catholic
Church ruled the population in Europe by controlling the WORD, controlling
access to the WORD.
They had set themselves up in a position, where they had the physical
power to suppress or kill or ban as a heretic anyone who dared to
speak the Living Word. And they had defined a doctrine that completely
shut out the Living Word, having instead turned it into a dead outer
scripture. But not even the outer scripture, for the Catholic Church
did not want people to read the scriptures themselves. They only wanted
them to have an interpretation that was in accordance with church
doctrine.
My beloved, even though the scriptures that were written down are
no longer, strictly speaking, the Living Word, there is still so many
clues in the scriptures that people who read them can connect to the
Living Word—if they are willing to go beyond the letter of the
outer teaching. And so it was indeed a travesty that people were prevented
from reading the scriptures.
How pacifying religion serves the elite
So, my beloved, you now see that what the Catholic Church represents
in Europe is precisely what I call “pacifying religion.”
A religion that seeks to pacify people by promoting the belief that
the people are as nothing and cannot save themselves. They need an
external savior and they need an external institution and its priesthood
in order to be saved. In the Catholic Church this became the doctrine
that you are a sinner by the very fact that you exist—for you
were born in sin.
And so, by just the mere fact that you have existence on this Earth,
you are a sinner. And that means that you cannot save yourself but
need to be saved by the vicarious atonement, where I do all the work
for you, therefore completely pacifying people. And my beloved, do
you see that this does not only pacify people on an individual level,
it pacifies them in the entire society so that the population at large
becomes susceptible to the domination by the power elite?
Do you
see, my beloved – in the history of Europe – how the power
elite took up positions in the Catholic Church, took up positions
in the noble class. And even though you had some rivalry between the
two power elites, I can assure you that even the noble class was quite
happy with the Church because they knew that it was because of that
pacifying element in the very deepest aspect of life, namely religion,
that they were able to control the people and maintain their physical
hold over them.
So that is indeed why you see, my beloved, the wisdom brought forth
in Maitreya's book,
where he says that if we can change the religious debate on this planet
then everything else will begin to fall into place after it.
Europe as the birthplace of pacifying ideas
And so, my beloved, when you look at the history of Europe, you see
the cradle of a number of ideas that have been used around the world
to pacify and suppress the people. First and foremost, of course,
in the religious arena, as I have explained. But then see what happened
when the religious domination of the Catholic Church began to crumble
and the people began to say, "We have had enough. We want to
have our freedom to think. We want to have our freedom to look at
the reality of the physical octave and what it tells us, instead of
being fed these infallible doctrines that truly are out of touch with
reality."
My beloved, it was an incredible expansion of the mindset of Europe,
when it began to be generally known that the Earth was not flat and
that it was not the center of a very small universe. But that it indeed
revolved around the sun and that the sun was the center of the solar
system.
My beloved,
what you had before that time was a mindset where the general culture
and world view of the population was almost completely out of touch
with reality, divine reality. For what you had seen in the preceding
centuries was that the leaders of the Catholic Church had created
a world view that was entirely man-made. So they had made the Word
of God of no effect in their tradition (Mark 7:13). They had indeed
created a world view that was so removed, from the reality of God
that there was hardly any reality left. And you can see this clearly
by the fact that the Catholic Church promoted the idea that the Earth,
this little planet, was the center of the entire universe—although
certainly they believed the universe was much smaller than today.
So can you see, my beloved, that when it first became apparent to
people – and greater numbers of people—namely the top
10 percent – that it was possible to make an observation
through a simple telescope – and see that the movements in the
heavens did not correspond to the doctrine that the Earth was the
center of the universe – that this, my beloved, was an incredible
expansion of the mindset of Europe. For certainly, then it once again
connected to the fact that there is a reality beyond man-made ideas
and beliefs.
And, my beloved, this was indeed the very central element of the bringing
forth of the Renaissance and the many new ideas and inventions that
sprung up in Europe. But of course, as always happens, it was not
only true ideas that were promoted. For it is inevitable that when
there is an expansion of creativity, there will be both true and untrue
ideas. And so you did see several ideologies that were brought forth
here in Europe, such as Karl Marx and Marxism and Darwin and the theory
of evolution.
Now, my beloved, I must tell you that there are some elements of truth
even in these ideologies. They are not completely lies. There is indeed
a reality to the fact that a country cannot bring forth a just society
while allowing those who are the most aggressive people to attain
whatever power they can take through force. And therefore, there must
be some way to stop this. But of course, it is not the socialist way,
where the state owns and controls everything. It is the spiritual
way, where the people are awakened, so that they are subject neither
to the privately owned companies nor to the state. And my beloved,
that is why communism is not a solution to the problem of the power
elite, for it gives the power elite a perfect vehicle through which
to attain and maintain power, namely the state itself.
And so you see that capitalism and communism form a dualistic polarity
that both work towards the same goal, namely a society with centralized
control. Either you have a society controlled by the state, as in
the communist countries, or you have a society that is controlled
by one company that has eventually absorbed all the other companies
and therefore in effect has become the state. Or you can have what
you had in Catholic Europe, where you had a society that was controlled
by the religious authority which had taken over all areas of society.
And so,
my beloved, it should be possible for you to see that Europe is indeed
an interesting continent, where so many of the ideas that have shaped
the world have been born. And therefore, again, as Saint Germain has
said, there is an incredible potential on this continent of people
rising up and saying, "Enough is enough! We want something more.
We want something better."
And that is indeed already beginning to happen, as it is beginning
to happen in other areas of the world. And it can and will –
by the grace of God and the willingness of the top 10 percent of the
most spiritually aware people – become an unstoppable movement
that will sweep away the old mindset, the old ideas and bring forth
precisely what Saint Germain talked about when he said that we need
a universal spiritual awakening so that we can overcome the ideology
of materialism that denies your spirituality. For it is only through
spirituality that the world can be righted and set on the right course.
