TOPIC: Ponder the difference between the consciousness of life and the consciousness of death, so you will not fall back into the unaware life that is death

Jesus, October 1, 2006.

 


Come into the consciousness of life

This, my beloved, is the difference between life and death. And I desire all of you to come into the consciousness of life as quickly as possible. I recognize that you cannot all do this in a split second, that you have healing to go through. But nevertheless, spend a little bit of time and attention now and then to ponder the difference between the consciousness of life and the consciousness of death. Reread these words. Listen to them again, when you feel you need to reconnect. Make it a part of your consciousness that you know the goal is to rise above the consciousness of death and enter into the consciousness of life.

If you will make this part of your path, you will make much swifter progress. You will shorten the time until you come to that point of making that ultimate decision to choose life, the final decision that frees you from the fear and doubt that you could fall back down. My beloved, it is indeed possible to be in embodiment on Earth and be beyond the risk of falling back down into the blindness of the ego and the duality consciousness. It is possible to come to a point, where you know you have been spiritually reborn and it simply would not be possible for you to forget that higher state of consciousness that you know is ultimate reality.

Certainly, it is always theoretically possible, but in all actuality – having worked your way up through the consciousness of death – you would not again fall for the temptation that caused you to fall so many lifetimes ago, when you first left off from your spiritual teacher. And my beloved, as was explained yesterday, this does not mean that you know everything, that you are the perfect human being.

But it does mean that you know that you would never again fall back into living a completely unconscious life. And that gives you a sense of peace of mind, which is what you see exemplified in these two messengers and in many other spiritual people throughout the ages who have come to that sense of inner peace, of knowing who they are and daring to be who they are, even if they are not perfect or still make mistakes and certainly don’t know everything and still need to sleep and take a shower and do these other mundane things that people do to take care of the physical body.


Encourage each other

My beloved, this is the inner peace that I desire to see you have. For I am the Prince of Peace. I came to demonstrate that it is possible to be on Earth and be at peace. And I want all of you to have that peace. And if you are willing to look at the elements of the death consciousness that pulls you away from that inner peace, and do whatever is necessary – use whatever tools that are available in the world or that we have given you in order to work through those elements of death – then indeed you can make progress.

And I think you will recognize, when you who have faithfully given the rosaries, studied these teachings, when you come together for a conference with people you saw at the last conference only a few months ago and you see that they have changed. And suddenly, you can then look in the mirror and see that you too have changed but it was just so gradual that you didn’t notice in your busy daily lives.

And I strongly encourage you to help each other see how much you have changed. Not in a prideful way, as we have seen in all our past organizations, where those who claimed to be students of the ascended masters entered into this subtle spiritual pride of thinking that they were the most advanced spiritual seekers on the planet. My beloved, that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about you acknowledging the growth you see in each other and helping each other realize how much you have grown in just a matter of a few months. Because it encourages you and helps you realize that you can continue to grow and continue to come closer and closer to that state of inner peace, where the world cannot touch you, cannot touch your relationship to God. Because you have discovered the truth that the kingdom of God really is within you and that no human power, not even the power of your own ego, can prevent you from entering that kingdom—when you are willing to leave behind all those elements that pull you back into the outer world.

Nothing can stop you, except your own attachments to the things of this world. And when you realize that, even that is a sense of peace. For you know that if you keep looking at one attachment at a time, as you are able, and letting go of one attachment at a time, you are moving forward step by step toward that breakthrough point, where you can finally let go of the very sense of attachment itself. That gives you that inner knowing, that inner peace, that allows you to say, “I and my Father are one. And there is nothing that can take away that oneness.”
