Time and death
are illusions
You see, my beloved, time truly is one of the greatest illusions in
the material universe. Time causes so many people to lose sight of
what is important in the eternal life because they become so enveloped
in the daily life, and they forget that they are not here simply to
live a daily life of struggle, of running around from here to there,
never really getting anywhere.
So you see, my beloved,
time must be conquered before the last enemy can be conquered. And
what is that last enemy? Well, as the Bible says, the last enemy is
death. But my beloved, throughout this conference we will give you
a new view of death. For you will understand that there is a worldly
image of death and there is the spiritual reality, where death can
be seen in a different light – not as the enemy, not as something
to be feared – for death truly is not the end but it is a release
from limitation, a release from struggle, a release from unreality.
For you see, my beloved, as I have explained in my
book and as Maitreya has explained
in his, there is a core of your being that is beyond time, beyond
space and therefore beyond life and death—as people see it in
this realm. You may call it the Conscious
You or anything else you like. But there is a reality of your
being that allows you to be aware that you exist, that you are conscious.
And this is the reality that can be set free from limitation, from
the limitations of time and space.
And thus, how can that real self, how can that conscious self, be
set free? Well, it can be set free only by overcoming unreality, by
overcoming illusion. And so how can you overcome illusion? Well, my
beloved, you can overcome illusion only through a total release from
that illusion. And that release can happen only when the illusion
itself – and the self that you have built from that illusion
– is allowed to die.
Your attention endows your illusions with life
For you see, my beloved, the conscious you is an extension of God's
very own Being. And it is through the Conscious You – through
the nexus of the Conscious You – that the light streams from
the upper part of the figure-eight
flow, from the figure eight of your own Higher
Self to the lower part of your being, your sphere of self that
is conscious in this world.
And so, whatever the Conscious
You places its attention upon, it will endow with light—and
thus it will endow it with life. You see, my beloved, everything in
this world can be said to be a mirage—an illusion that has been
temporarily endowed with life through the attention of the conscious
beings who have co-created or created this world.
And so you see, my beloved, when you create – or come to believe
– an illusion that you think is real and that you think is the
real you, you endow that illusion with life through your attention
and through the light that streams through it. This does not make
the illusion real, it does not make it eternal, it does not give it
eternal life. But it does give it a temporary life in time and space.
The fear of death
And so, my beloved, how can the Conscious You be free of what it has
created unless it is released from it? And in order to be released
from it, it must allow the unreality that it has created to die. And
yes, my beloved, what you are feeling – what you are dealing
with in this day and age – is nothing less than a cosmic process.
For you see, my beloved, ever since humanity started descending into
the duality consciousness – started creating millions and billions
of these illusions that envelop this planet – well, ever since
then they have feared death.
What is it that fears death? Well, my beloved, it cannot be the real
self. But the ego fears death, because it fears losing whatever life
it has. And so you see, my beloved, humankind as a whole is enveloped
in, is captured in, this illusion that death is to be feared. And
therefore, they hold on to the form of life that is the highest form
of life they can see right now. And they think that if that limitation
– if that unreality – goes, they will have nothing left.
And so you see, my beloved,
what the spiritual people in this age are up against is the planetary
momentum of the fear of death. And whether you are in this teaching
or that organization matters not, for all truly spiritual people around
this planet are engaged in the same process of helping humankind rise
above and see through the illusion that death means loss, that death
is the end.
And that is why some of you will feel a certain fear and trepidation
when you contemplate death, or when you contemplate the death of some
illusion, some part of the mortal self. But my beloved, you are doing
this not for your own sakes alone, but for the planet and for humanity
as a whole.
Understanding the cross
For some must be the forerunners, some must be the trailblazers, who
are willing to see what Saint Paul had seen when he said, “I
die daily.” For truly he knew that unless the carnal mind –
as he called it – unless the carnal self was allowed to die,
bit by bit, day by day, he could not truly follow Christ. For it was
what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Take up your cross
and follow me.”
What is the cross? It is the unreality, the illusion, the unreal self
that holds you fixated in a position where you think you cannot move.
And so, all of humanity is truly crucified, fixated, paralyzed by
this illusion, especially the fear of death. Because the fear of death
creates a Catch 22—if you fear to let go of the illusion, how
can you let go of the illusion?
How can you overcome unreality
if you are afraid to release yourself from it, to release it from
you? It cannot be done, my beloved, for you cannot bear the loss of
self—the Conscious You cannot bear to lose all identity. And
indeed it is not meant to lose all identity, it is meant to transcend
the limited identity until it reaches a higher state of identity,
even goes on to reach the ultimate identity of total oneness with
God and oneness with all life.
The Living Word
and love
So my beloved, why have we called you to a conference where we will
talk about the restoration of the Word and Love? Because they go hand
in hand as the Alpha and the Omega. As you will hear more about throughout
this conference, the Living Word can indeed be shocking because it
cuts through the illusion and makes it much more difficult for people
to deny that they need to change. And at a certain level of the spiritual
path, this can be difficult to bear. Because you are still somewhat
identified with the outer self, with the ego, and thus you go into
this fear mode of fearing that if the ego is exposed, then you will
suffer a loss and you will not know who you are.
So that is why you need the Omega balance of Love, of understanding
what Love is – of tuning into it in your hearts –
so that you can allow the process of the Living Word exposing the
unreality without going into a state of shock or trauma or denial
because you do not have enough Love. And so, only those who truly
love can let go of the illusion. Only those who love unconditionally,
as Jesus loved unconditionally on the cross, can give up the ghost
and let that ghost die—even if it means that a part of what
they thought was themselves dies in the process.
