The prince of this world is a finite being
Do you see that the prince of this world is not an infinite being;
the prince of this world is a finite being. Meaning, that even though
there are some who think that the devil has great power, the devil
has only finite power, because the devil has only a finite sense of
self, and therefore only a finite awareness.
Do you see, my beloved, that what the devil wants is to come to you
and cause you to accept the fixed sense of identity that holds you
back at a certain level—so that he can now run out and start working
with other people, getting them to accept the fixed sense of identity?
And he wants that when he has made his rounds and comes back, you
are still in that fixed sense of identity.
But you see, if you transcend that sense of identity, and the devil
comes back, he will be shocked, “He is no longer there, where is he?”
And now he will have to try to catch up with your new sense of identity
and try to turn that into a fixed sense of identity. And that takes
his attention away from all the other people that he has to entrap—and
all of a sudden, when enough people transcend their former sense of
self, the devil becomes so scattered, the prince of this world becomes
so confused, that he can no longer keep his sense of control. And
thus, even the prince of this world must somehow transcend his old
sense of identity in order to keep up with the people who are accelerating,
my beloved. And thus, you see, everything is pulled up.
“I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.” [This also means]
lifting up the mass consciousness—which is just one expression of
what has traditionally been called the devil. For as Gautama
explained last year, at New Year’s, my beloved, when you go into the
temple of the dark lord, you see that there is no dark lord there.
It is all an empty shell, it has no ultimate reality.
But do you see that constant self-transcendence is the key to accelerating
yourself out of this pull of the gravitational pull of the mass consciousness?
So that you simply – whatever they send at you – you use it to transcend
your sense of identity, to be reborn. You accept that you are reborn,
and thus, you are a new being in Christ. And it will take time for
your ego, or the false teachers, or the mass consciousness or other
people to catch up with you. And when they eventually catch up with
you, as they probably will while you are in a physical body, you just
immediately allow yourself to be reborn again. And now they have to
play catch-up.
And therefore, you come to the point where they are always playing
catch-up, my beloved. For you have now turned the tables on the moneychangers,
so that they are the ones that have to catch up to you. Because you
are no longer allowing yourself to remain in that fixed sense of identity,
where they think they have you under control.
And so you see, my beloved, that this becomes sort of a cat-and-mouse
game, that you might even for a period find some enjoyment in. Where
you realize that you are no longer playing the dualistic game of seeking
to destroy the opposite dualistic polarity, but you are playing a
sort of a higher version of the game of trying to outfox and outsmart
and out-transcend the forces of this world, the prince of this world.
And you can do so very easily once you truly lock in to the process
of being reborn. Of course, there will come a point where you are
ultimately reborn to the point, where you do not even find enjoyment
in outfoxing or outsmarting the prince of this world because that
prince has simply become irrelevant to your sense of self. And you
are now focused on other things, you are now focused on raising up
others and awakening them from the consciousness of death by demonstrating
to them how it is possible to be reborn. And by teaching them that
they, too, can be reborn—challenging their present sense of self.
