TOPIC: Why the key to your freedom is to turn the other cheek

Mother Mary, April 29, 2004


My beloved, I have given you many thoughts to ponder, and I know these are difficult concepts. I know that when a soul has been programmed for many lifetimes to accept the very subtle lies of the serpents, then the soul cannot in an instance, cannot as the result of reading one discourse, overcome those lies and leave them behind. There are those who claim to be spiritual teachers who tell people that they could change their minds in an instant, but it is not true.

A soul is a being of energy, of spiritual energy. Over many lifetimes, the soul can clothe itself in many layers of lower vibrations. And it is those layers that give the soul a mortal sense of identity. So the soul cannot simply in an instant throw off the false sense of identity because it would be left with no sense of identity. The soul must gradually replace the false sense of identity with a true sense of identity. It must, as Paul said, die daily. It must put off the old man and put on the new man. And this will take time.

However, you can greatly reduce the time it takes to build a new sense of identity by contemplating the fact that the key to true spiritual freedom is to forgive yourself, to forgive every part of life and to forgive God for anything that you think has ever been done to you, both in this lifetime and in other lifetimes, going all the way back to when your soul first descended into the material universe, and even beyond to the Garden of Eden.

The key to freedom from your current limitations is to forgive all who played a role in creating those limitations. My beloved hearts, those who seek revenge against other people, even those who engage in a battle against dark forces, are simply reinforcing the prison walls around their souls. You might recall that the Bible says, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." The truth behind that statement is that God has created an impersonal law, the law of karma, which makes sure that no soul will ever escape the consequences of its uses and misuses of God's energy. Therefore, you do not need to become angry at those who harm you. You do not need to seek revenge because in so doing you misqualify God's energy and thereby you reinforce the prison around your own soul, your own mind.

My beloved hearts, that is why my son Jesus gave the wonderful teachings to forgive your enemies, to forgive those who harm you and to always turn the other cheek. When someone harms you and you turn the other cheek, you set yourself free from any negative influence of their actions. You avoid creating or reinforcing a negative sense of identity. You reaffirm that you are a spiritual being who is above and beyond any influence from the lower vibrations in the material world. Therefore, you will not let anything done to you in this world limit your sense of identity.

This is choosing God over mammon, and it is precisely what Jesus came to show all human beings. He came to show them that when you reunite with your Christ self and become a Christed being, the forces of this world might harm your body and do all kinds of things to you, including nailing you to a cross. But no matter what they do to you, they cannot harm your soul, they cannot harm your true identity because you will rise above it all. You will rise above all of the limitations, all of the chains, that they use to bind you. You rise above it because you realize that they are simply throwing mud at the light beam of your soul. And that mud has no power to cling to the true light that you are.

So my beloved, I give to you the tool of my Miracle Forgiveness Rosary as a way, an extremely efficient and powerful way, for you to consume the layers of negative energy and the imperfect sense of identity that surround your soul and keep you believing in the image that you are a mortal human being trapped in a prison from which there is no escape. There is indeed an escape, and it is to simply leave the imperfections behind and come up higher in consciousness.
