Jesus,
August 24, 2008.
Why Christ came to Earth
Which is precisely why I came to Earth 2,000 years ago—to give
people a bridge to reunite with their God through the consciousness
of Christ, the one truth of the Christ mind, as opposed to the dualistic
"truth" of the dualistic mind, the mind of antichrist. And
this work has not been in vain, even though it has taken 2,000 years
to cycle through to the physical, my beloved.
You yourselves are proof. All those who have studied my website and
my teachings on the ego, and our books
on non-duality—you are our proof that they are not winning,
my beloved. We are indeed winning. And we were winning from the beginning,
as Master MORE is fond of saying. For it is indeed the truth.
When you study Maitreya's teachings
on the spheres, my beloved, you will see that it simply is not
possible that the false hierarchy and those who embody it on planet
Earth can pull against the entire upward movement of the material
universe. And thus, it is inevitable that the Earth and the universe
will be raised into the permanent perfection of the spiritual realm.
It is only a matter of time. Yet time is NOT—for the Buddha.
And thus, even though the false hierarchy think they can delay what
they know is inevitable, yet they have not delayed anything. For time
is the ever-flowing stream of the River of Life. And my beloved, in
that stream nothing can stand still, nothing can pull in the opposite
direction.
For everything must inevitably flow with the greater River of Life.
It can only be the illusion maintained in the consciousness of the
people that makes it seem like a planet or a people can be outside
that River, even going in the opposite direction.
It is nothing but an illusion, my beloved, and you have taken a mighty
action to shatter that illusion in the collective consciousness. Of
course, more is needed, but this will come forth as we trust you will
continue to make use of this tool of the rosary broadcast as you see
fit, my beloved.
The Olympics and oneness
So now, let me turn my attention to the Olympic games. For surely,
as spiritual students you realize that any human activity can teach
you important lessons about the consciousness of humankind. And so
let me give you somewhat of a secret that not many people are aware
of, my beloved.
Now take a look at a sporting event such as the Olympic games or the
soccer and football games or other games that may take place in your
local area every week. You see that the people come together in one
place, in a big hall, and they cheer on their team. And they go through
either elation or heartbreak, depending on whether their team wins
or loses.
But what is the underlying desire that makes the people come together
for such an event? Well, my beloved, is it not that they long for
something more than their regular, normal daily lives, that are filled
with routine and do not offer them anything beyond the ordinary? What
is it they are longing for? What do they long for beyond the ordinary,
my beloved?
Well, they long for oneness, but they do not know this, they do not
fully understand this. Yet, they sense that by coming together in
a great multitude of people, there is some degree of oneness there,
in rooting for their team. Of course, in many cases there are also
representatives for the opposite team who are rooting for their
team.
And so what they often experience is a dualistic state where a group
– the followers of one team – come together in a state
of oneness, but it is defined in opposition to the followers of the
opposite team. And thus you see the outplaying – even in the
sporting arenas – of the dualistic
struggle that has been going on for so long.
Yet, my point here is to help you see that the underlying desire is
that people long for something more. And that more is an experience
of oneness. Now, it is indeed possible, my beloved, to experience
a material state of oneness, what we might call an Omega state of
oneness here below, where people feel oneness amongst each other.
And it can give them a sense of having experienced something unique,
beyond their normal daily lives.
Understanding the consciousness of the multitudes
Now, my beloved, in many cases such sporting events do not give people
what they really long for. Because even though they come together
in a certain sense of oneness, it is colored by the spirit of competition,
the desire to have their team win. Yet, even this is to some degree
an expression of that longing for oneness, longing for something more,
something beyond the ordinary. Only again, people do not understand
that for which they are longing.
But you see, most people on this planet are not in a state of consciousness
where they can grasp the true Spirit of Oneness. And thus, they are
in fact in a certain level of consciousness that I referred to 2,000
years ago as “the multitudes.” The multitudes, my beloved,
are wonderful people but they have not yet manifested a high enough
degree of individuality to stand above the crowd, to go beyond that
level of consciousness that we might call the mass consciousness or
the consciousness of the multitude.
Surely, they have some individuality, but it is not strong enough
to go against the crowd, and thus they follow the crowd, my beloved.
Not only in sporting events but in all aspects of life, including
what they believe in, how they worship, what churches they go to,
what political parties they vote for, and so forth and so on. Even
down to the details of how they dress or cut their hair.
So, what I am endeavoring to explain to you, my beloved, is that many
people on Earth – in fact the majority of the people on Earth
– are indeed at this level of the consciousness of the multitude.
They do not have sufficient individuality, but they long for that
individuality. And thus, they seek to find it in rooting for their
team.
For who are the people on the team? Well, they are, indeed, my beloved,
people who have more individuality, a more strong individuality than
the multitudes. And that is why they desire to be on a sporting team,
where they excel beyond this "ordinary person." And where
they can stand out from the crowd—and even many of them desire
to be worshiped by the crowd.
For you see, when you begin to raise yourself above the consciousness
of the multitude, you will build a stronger sense of individuality.
But it is inevitable that that sense of individuality will be colored
by – even to a large degree based on – the illusion of
separation that makes people seek to build their individuality as
a separate individuality. And thus, they strive to excel, in order
to build that sense that they are different, they are better than
others. And what they seek to raise is, of course, the separate self.
However, what I desire you to understand is that this is an inevitable
stage in the forward progression of the individual. For as long as
you are blindly following the currents of the mass consciousness,
you cannot actually walk the spiritual path and manifest personal
Christhood, my beloved. For personal Christhood is individual Christhood.
Individual Christhood must be won by you as an individual being, raising
up and attaining a direct contact with your own higher being and with
your spiritual teachers.
Understanding the transition from personal growth to Christhood
This, my beloved, never has been – and never will be, and never
can be – a collective path. You can form a community, my beloved,
and you can help each other, but you must go each one individually.
For each one individually must establish that contact to his or her
Christ Self and I AM Presence and spiritual teacher. For only when
that vertical degree of oneness is there, can there be true horizontal
oneness.
So you see, my beloved, even those on the sporting teams of the world,
or those who are individually striving for excellence, are in a sense
on the path of personal growth – of raising up that separate
self above the multitude – so that they can earn the potential
to turn that separate self towards a higher quest, my beloved.
For you see, many of the people that you have seen at these Olympic
games are indeed people who have risen above that collective consciousness
of the multitudes and manifested a stronger sense of individuality.
Many of them have made great personal sacrifices in order to excel
in their sport, setting aside many other normal endeavors. And this
has caused them to develop great self-discipline, great focus, great
dedication to a cause, my beloved, that can indeed be turned into
a higher pursuit of going beyond seeking to raise the separate self.
And thus, I can tell you that many of the people who have tasted this
excellence in the sporting world will – during this lifetime
– come to realize that even though they were caught up in this
pursuit of excellence and competition – even though it gave
them a great adrenalin rush, a great sense of accomplishment, even
superiority – it still left them empty, my beloved. It still
left them wanting more. It still made it difficult for them to come
back to an "ordinary life" after they could no longer excel
in their sport.
And thus, some of them will indeed go beyond that stage of the warrior
consciousness to the beginning stages of the consciousness of the
sage, who begins to look for something more than this world can offer.
For you see, when you have stood in a sporting arena and had billions
of people focus their attention upon you – through the television
– well then you have indeed, in a certain sense, tasted some
of the highest of what this world can offer, in terms of giving attention
to the separate self.
And then, when the conscious self begins to realize that this was
not enough, that there has to be something more, well then the lifestream
has the potential to engage in the true path to Christhood—of
seeking not to raise up itself for the sake of raising itself, but
seeking to raise up its separate self in order to go beyond that separate
self and use its attainment and accomplishment to serve the All, my
beloved. So that the ultimate stand-out individual is indeed the one
who gives the greatest service. For did I not say that he who would
be greatest among you should be the servant of all?
And so you will see that in their next embodiment, many of these sporting
stars will indeed become more spiritual and will begin to walk the
spiritual path in earnest. Some of you who are walking the spiritual
path today have indeed tasted that fame or glory in past lifetimes,
whether through sports, through wars, politics, or in other fields
of human endeavor, such as the arts.
My beloved, this is a perfectly natural part of the evolution of an
individual. Of course, I look to you, who have come to a conscious
awareness of the spiritual path, to go beyond this and to see that
there is something beyond these outer pursuits of material excellence—and
that is spiritual excellence. Which is not as some of you still think
– dedicated to raising up the separate self, but to raising
up the All in service to all life.
The high and the low road
Of course, my beloved, what I am telling you here is, indeed, that
many of the people who make up the bottom
10 percent, as we call them, are indeed also people who have walked
this path of raising their individual sense of self beyond the multitudes.
For you see, my beloved, even before you can – so to speak –
excel in the control games, in the money-making games, well you still
have to attain some individuality—to even have that drive for
power, for control or for money, concentrated in the hands of one
person.
And thus, what I am telling you is that when an individual being reaches
beyond the consciousness of the multitude, it has the potential to
find the path of personal Christhood. But it also has the potential
to find the left-handed path – not the broad way that leads
to destruction that is taken by the multitudes – but the false
path, the path of antichrist, of indeed using one's attainment to
raise up that separate self for the glorification of the separate
self or some material cause.
And thus, you will see that even some of the people who have attained
great power or great money on this planet have indeed walked that
path of first raising the separate self on the path of personal growth,
but then turning it into the left-handed path, the path of antichrist,
of using their attainment to attain power and glory for the separate
self.
If you want examples, my beloved, look to China, to the chairman Mao
Tse-Tung, who was an example of this. Look to North Korea, look to
the former Soviet Union—Stalin and Lenin. Look to Hitler. Look
to Napoleon, who had the opportunity to work with Saint Germain, but
ultimately took the left-handed path.
Look to many other world leaders who have taken that path, my beloved.
And then learn from their example, and realize that even you, who
are the spiritual students – even you who are students of my
course in Christhood –
face that initiation—that very subtle initiation where you know
you have great attainment, where you know you have reached a high
level in terms of raising up your individual self.
But now the question is, my beloved, will you then take the path of
continuing to raise the separate self for the sake of the separate
self, or will you take the path of Christ where you realize the truth
in my statement—that he who seeks to save his life shall lose
it, he who seeks to save that separate self shall eventually lose
it. But he who is willing to lay down that life, that separate self,
for the sake of following Christ, shall indeed find the eternal life
through the Spirit of Oneness with all life, my beloved. This is the
challenge that all of you face, this is the challenge to which I call
you in my course to Christhood.
