Mother Mary, April
29, 2004
My beloved, I desire to
give you a teaching, so that you may understand why forgiveness is
so important. To truly understand the importance of forgiveness, you
need to realize the profound truth that my son Jesus has explained
so many times, namely that the basic law of this universe is the Law
of Free Will. You also need to understand, as I explained in my previous
discourses [Link 1, Link
2], that the very purpose of life, the very essence of life, is
to grow, to move on, to self-transcend.
So what is it that prevents you from growing, from moving on, from
transcending your current state of consciousness, your current sense
of identity? Well, it is the point of nonforgiveness. You see, when
there is something you have not forgiven, there is something you are
holding on to, there is something you cannot let go of, and in that
point of emotional attachment to the things of this world, you are
holding yourself back. You are holding yourself tied to a limited
and imperfect sense of identity, and you are essentially worshipping
an idol of your own making, or at least the making of your culture.
By not forgiving,
you are taking away your own freedom to move on. And as I tried to
explain in my previous discourses, when you do not move on, you will
stagnate. And if you stay too long in one place, you will become subject
to the second law of thermodynamics, which means that a downward spiral,
a negative vortex, of energy will begin forming around you. When that
vortex becomes too strong, it will begin to overpower your feelings
and your thoughts, until you begin to believe either that there is
nothing outside the vortex or that you cannot escape the downward
pull of the vortex.
This is what causes so
many people, especially in the Middle East, to believe that there
is no other way to live than to be in opposition to the Jews or in
opposition to the Arabs. It causes them to believe that there is no
way to escape the cycle of violence, the cycle of revenge. They feel
they simply must continue the cycle because they must have revenge,
they must set things right by committing another act of violence to
supposedly neutralize or make up for previous acts of violence.
Unfortunately, the intense energies of this negative vortex prevent
people from asking the very logical question of when and how this
could possibly end. Think about this, my beloved. Can there ever be
an ultimate act of revenge? Can there ever be an ultimate act of revenge
that will settle the score permanently and thereby bring about an
end to violence?
My beloved hearts, those of you who are not trapped by the relativity
of the carnal mind and by a downward vortex of nonforgiveness will
be able to see the pure and simple logic behind these remarks. There
can be no peace through revenge. It simply is not possible. There
can be no act of revenge which stops the cycle of violence because
if you avenge what has been done to you by doing something to another,
you will inevitably create the desire for revenge in your opponent.
This should be obvious to anyone who knows elementary school physics
and have learned about the law of action and reaction. For every action,
there is an opposite reaction of equal strength. That is simply a
law of the material universe. So when you take revenge, you are reacting
to what was done to you but your reaction becomes a new action, and
it inevitably creates a reaction from your opponent, even from the
universe itself. And this cycle can literally go on forever—or
at least it seems like forever.
Now my beloved hearts, there is indeed a very small minority of the
people on this planet who do not want peace, who do not want resolution,
who do not want an end to violence or an end to this spiral of revenge.
These are the people who are completely trapped in the Luciferian
state of consciousness that I described in my previous discourses.
Yet those people are few, and the vast majority of the people who
are caught in the spiral of revenge actually do want peace. And this
then gives rise to the paradox that they say they want peace, but
that they are not willing to stop the cycle of revenge.
My beloved hearts, while this can be almost impossible to understand
for a person who is not caught in a negative spiral, your new understanding
of energy and energy vortexes allows you to see the explanation.
When people are caught in such a vortex of anger and revenge, they
simply cannot see the fallacy of their thinking. They cannot think
logically and rationally because they are so overpowered by the emotional
energies that they do not even stop to think. This then is why there
is a need for something to break the spiral, to break the downward
pull. And that something is that someone must consume the energies
created through revenge and nonforgiveness, the very energies that
form a magnetic pull on people's emotions and overpowers them, so
that they lose all logic and rationality. Those someone must be the
balanced people who are not caught up in these negative momentums
and vortexes. My beloved hearths, those someone are you.
TOPIC: Overcoming
the catch-22 of non-forgiveness
Before you can truly become an effective force in consuming the vortexes
of nonforgiveness on this planet, you must free yourself from the
point of nonforgiveness. You might say, "But Mother Mary, you
just told us that we are not caught up in a vortex of nonforgiveness.”
And that is perfectly true. You are not caught in a vortex that is
so intense that it overpowers your feelings and prevents you from
thinking.
Yet many of you do not realize what is the true cause of nonforgiveness.
And you do not realize this because you were not brought up with a
proper understanding, and you were not brought up with a proper understanding
because the beautiful teachings on forgiveness that my son gave 2,000
years ago have been obscured and distorted by the orthodox Christian
churches.
The problem we have
is that most people on Earth simply do not see that nonforgiveness
is based on a set of lies. They do not understand these lies, and
therefore they cannot see the mindset behind those lies. And if you
cannot see through the lies of the devil, if you are not wise as a
serpent, then you cannot completely free yourself from those lies
that permeate every aspect of life on this planet. If you do not become
wise as a serpent, how can you be harmless as a dove?
So let me now give you
a teaching in an attempt to help you free yourself from the lies about
nonforgiveness. As I said earlier, the basic law of this universe
is the Law of Free Will. You have the right to experiment with your
creative abilities. In fact, your lifestream and your soul were created
with a drive, a desire to experiment with God's laws and God's energies.
Unfortunately, what has happened to most people on this planet is
that they have lost their contact with their spiritual selves, and
thereby they have become enveloped in a lower state of consciousness
that causes them to see themselves as being separated from their spiritual
selves, even separated from God. Because of this sense of separation,
you no longer realize the basic reality that God has never hurt you
whatsoever.
God has not created the conditions on this planet that have caused
your soul to be hurt and wounded. Those conditions were created by
human beings trapped in the lower state of consciousness, in which
they are easily controlled by dark forces, as I explained in my previous
discourses. So you see my beloved, God has not created the conditions
that caused you to be hurt, and God never wanted you to be wounded.
Yet most people on this planet cannot fully understand and accept
that the misery on Earth was created by human beings and not created
by God. Somewhere deep within their beings they have a sense that
either God must have created their misery or God must have allowed
it to be created. And therefore, most people blame God for certain
conditions in their lives.
Many people blame God for various negative experiences they have had
in this lifetime. But when you go deep within the subconscious mind,
you see that many people actually blame God for what happened to them
in
the Garden of Eden. They blame God for the fact that they fell
into a lower state of consciousness. After all, where did the serpent
come from if it was not created by God? And where did the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil come from if God did not put it in
the Garden of Eden. So if God had not put the tree in the garden and
allowed the serpent to be in the garden, then their souls would not
have fallen, and therefore it must be God's fault.
TOPIC: If you want to change your life, stop blaming God!
My beloved, these beliefs
are not your own. They have been carefully manufactured by Lucifer
and his followers to trap you in a state of consciousness that makes
it almost impossible for you to come back to God, to come back to
a full realization and acceptance of who you are as a son or daughter
of God. The dark forces have created such a web of interwoven lies
that it is almost impossible for me to help you see through them,
and it is certainly impossible for me to do it in one single discourse.
As I said in my last discourse, Lucifer
fell because he truly believed that God made a mistake by giving people
free will. So he has created a lie, namely the lie that free will
was a mistake because after all if people had not had free will, how
could they have been tempted by the serpent and eaten of the forbidden
fruit? So this causes many people to blame God, not only for the fact
that he gave them free will but even for the fact that he created
them.
In reality, the serpent
is a symbol for a state of consciousness, namely that of rebelling
against God's laws. It is an inevitable result of giving you free
will, because if you could not rebel, you would not have free will.
Nevertheless, you do not need to rebel to exercise your freedom of
choice—that is simply a subtle lie promoted by those who chose
to embody the serpentine consciousness. Do you see that the serpentine
consciousness simply follows free will, as the shadow follows your
body? Nevertheless, God never wanted you to identify with your shadow
or to be afraid of your own shadow. He wanted you to always face the
light of your I AM Presence and keep the shadow behind you.
My beloved, what is the result of blaming God? Well, the result is
that you paralyze yourself, and you do this because deep within you,
you have accepted the belief that you are not responsible for your
situation. You have accepted the belief that you did not create your
current situation, and because you did not create it, there is nothing
you can do to uncreate it.
I hope you can see the very simple logic here. If you go outside without
an umbrella, and it suddenly starts raining, then obviously you did
not create that rain, and so there is nothing you can do to make the
rain stop. This then is the experience that causes many people to
say that they have not created their current situation and they have
not created the current misery on planet Earth. They have not created
the conditions that caused them to fall into a lower state of consciousness
because they did not give themselves free will, they did not choose
to be created, they did not choose to be born, they did not choose
to come to this planet, they did not even choose to exist.
And therefore, they can push aside all personal responsibility and
accountability and feel that there is nothing they could do to change
the situation for the better. Oh my beloved, I must tell you that
this is the most insidious of all lies. The most insidiously of all
lies is the idea that you could possibly be in a situation in which
there is nothing you could do to transcend that situation and come
up higher. The most insidious of all lies is the idea that there could
possibly be a prison, a prison in the matter universe, from which
there is no escape. It is the idea that you could possibly make one
mistake that would make you doomed forever.
Oh my beloved hearts, I wish you could see through my eyes as an ascended
being and see how ridiculous this lie truly is. My beloved, I chuckle
as I say this because once you have ascended, you realize that everything
in the matter universe is created from God's energy. God's energy
is simply vibration, and no matter how low that vibration is, no matter
how dense the energy or the physical matter might seem, it is always
possible to raise the vibration and bring it back into alignment with
the purity and the perfection of God. My beloved hearts, please make
an effort to understand this truth, this fundamental truth about the
universe in which you live. There is nothing that you could do, or
that any force could possibly do to you, which cannot be undone and
purified by the light and the love of God.
The very idea that you
could possibly do something that could not be undone is the most insidious
lie created by the serpent and his seed. It is the most insidious
misuse of the contracting force of the Mother, the very Mother of
God. It is such a misuse because it is the contracting force of the
Mother which gives you life, which gives you form, whether it be a
physical body or a soul. Were it not for the contracting force of
the Mother, you would have no individual consciousness, no individual
sense of identity.
Yet as I have tried to explain with great care in my latest discourses,
it has never been the intention of the Mother of God to trap you in
a particular form. So the very idea that the form created by the energies
of the Mother of God could become a prison from which there is no
escape is such an abomination, such an injustice against the Mother
of God whose unconditional love is what gives you life and form.
How can you overcome this lie? Well my beloved, there is only one
way to overcome the lie of the serpent. And that is to take full and
complete responsibility for your current situation.
My beloved hearts, I am well aware that this will be a very provocative
statement to many people, and they will find it extremely difficult
to take responsibility for their situation. However, the reason for
this difficulty is that many people have lost the true recognition
of who they are. They have lost their true sense of identity, and
they have been trapped, not only by the lie of a false identity, they
have also been trapped in a negative vortex of energy that overpowers
their feelings and their ability to think rationally. This vortex
is not a vortex of revenge, but it is a vortex of energy that reinforces
the false sense of identity, the idea that you are separated from
God. Therefore, you think you are a victim of what God has created,
and you have no responsibility for your situation because God set
you up to fail.
My beloved son has given many teachings on this website in an attempt
to help you overcome your false sense of identity and realize that
you were created as a spiritual being. While I do not in any way claim
that I can do this better than Jesus, I would like to add the perspective
of the Mother of God.
Nothing can hurt the real you
The problem we see on Earth is that people think that because they
have fallen into a lower state of consciousness, because they have
made mistakes and because they have sinned, they have somehow been
permanently stained. My beloved hearts, you need to see through this
illusion and this lie, and you need to do so by realizing the reality
of energy.
What I would like you to do to overcome this illusion is very simple.
You can do this physically if you like, but I am sure that for most
of you it will be enough just to imagine this exercise. Imagine that
you go outside at night with a flashlight. You hang the flashlight
in a tree so that the light beam is shining on the ground. Now imagine
that you have a bucket of mud and you start throwing the mud at the
light beam. Can you make that mud cling to the beam of light?
My beloved hearts, I am
sure you can see that this is impossible but why is it impossible?
Well, as your scientists have told you, everything is created from
energy. So the mud is simply another form of energy than the energy
of the light beam. Both are forms of energy but the difference is
that the mud has a much lower vibration than the light. And because
it has a lower vibration, it cannot cling to and pollute the light
beam.
So you see my beloved, as Jesus has explained on this website, your
true identity is not your soul, the soul that abides in a physical
body in the material universe. Your true identity is the spiritual
self, and that spiritual self resides in a higher realm, in a higher
world that is made entirely of higher vibrations. So the very idea
that the soul that descends into the material world could commit a
sin that could permanently stain the spiritual self, residing in the
spiritual world, is as ridiculous as the idea that mud can cling to
a beam of light. Do you see my point?
Your true identity is a spiritual being, your
I AM Presence. That spiritual self is, at this very moment, residing
in the spiritual realm, and it is as perfect and as beautiful as when
it was first created by God. Nothing you have ever done, and nothing
you could possibly do, could pollute or destroy your spiritual self.
Therefore, you are as pure and you are as worthy of God's love as
the day you were first created. Nothing you have done in this world
has made you unworthy of God's love. Yet the forces of darkness want
to make you think that because you have done this or that terrible
thing, you are no longer worthy of God's love. And when you subscribe
to this lie, you begin to believe that you need to hide from God and
that there is no point in trying to come home to God or even ask for
his forgiveness. You accept the lie that God is such an angry and
judgmental God that he would not forgive you after all you have done.
So you do not even try to come back to God, you keep seeking to hide
from God.
My point here is that what keeps you trapped in your current state
of consciousness, in your current set of limitations and even in your
outer circumstances, is that you cannot accept God's forgiveness.
And why can you not accept God's forgiveness? Well my beloved, the
answer to that question lies in the Law of Free Will.
According to the Law of Free Will, you have a right to create anything
you want. Yet if you create a false image of yourself, you can become
trapped in that image, in that sense of identity. And the only way
you can overcome that limitation, the only way you can escape that
prison, which is truly created by your mind and exists only in your
mind, is that you must decide that you no longer want to be that way.
You do not want to be the limited person that you see yourself as
being. You want to let go of those limitations and move on.
How can you let go of limitations?
You can do so only by forgiving yourself for creating those limitations
in the first place. And how can you forgive yourself? Well my beloved,
you can do so only when you fully recognize and accept that it was
you who created the limitations and not God, and not even Lucifer
or all of his henchmen.
You see my beloved, this is what has put so many people in a Catch-22
from which there seems to be no escape. They cannot improve their
lives because they do not take responsibility for their situation
and realize that they have created it. Yet the reason they cannot
take responsibility for the situation is because they believe that
there is no forgiveness. There is no escape from the limitations,
so if they were to admit that they have created the limitations, they
would condemn themselves for doing so. They would be permanently locked
in experiencing suffering and limitation, and on top of that they
would be blaming themselves for the situation. To the soul, this feels
like adding insult to injury, so to avoid condemning themselves, they
avoid taking responsibility. And so what could possibly break this
stalemate?
The only way out is to recognize that you have created the situation
but that God does not condemn you for doing so. Therefore, there is
no reason for condemning yourself. What you have done is simply to
experiment with your free will and with the energy of God.
I am not trying to say here that everything you have created is what
God wanted to see for you or that it is in alignment with God's laws.
God never wanted you to create limitations that cause you suffering
and pain. What I am saying is that when God made the decision to give
you free will, he gave you the right to experiment. And in so doing,
he also set you free from all blame.
What God has done in creating you and giving you free will is that
he has given you the opportunity to grow in awareness and identity,
until you can fully accept yourself as a son or daughter of God. Thereby,
you become a co-creator with God who eventually becomes so powerful
that you can create your own world. God has literally given you the
opportunity to become all that God is and more. And in creating you
and giving you free will, God has no desire to blame you for doing
what you were created to do in experimenting with your free will,
or even for creating circumstances that cause you suffering.
God does not blame you
Do you see my point here? God does not want you to blame yourself
and God does not want to blame you. God wants you to approach life
as a scientist conducting experiments. Imagine that you were Thomas
Edison trying to find the material that would make it possible to
create the electric light bulb. As you might know, Edison tried dozens
and dozens of different materials before he found one that worked.
Yet imagine that Edison had blamed himself for being a failure or
a sinner every time he tried a material that didn't work. He would
soon have become so burdened and traumatized that he would have given
up before he found the material that gave birth to the electric age.
Instead, Thomas Edison simply discarded the material that didn't work
and immediately went on to try another one. This is how God wants
you to participate in the experiment of life.
When you become a spiritually aware person, you can begin to think
rationally and logically about life. When you experience conditions
that cause you suffering, the rational way of thinking is to say,
"I do not want to experience these conditions any more. I have
had enough of that experience, so what can I do to change my experience?
The first step I must take is to overcome the belief that I am the
victim of circumstances beyond my control. Because as long as I feel
like a victim, there is nothing I can do to change the circumstances
that cause me suffering. So I must take responsibility for my situation
and recognize that I have either created these circumstances or I
have attracted these circumstances to me because I have allowed myself
to be in a lower state of consciousness than what is by highest potential.
And so the very key to changing my circumstances is to change my state
of consciousness. When I do change my state of consciousness, the
first thing that will happen is that my experience of my circumstances
will change, and I will begin to suffer less, even if the outer circumstances
do not change instantly. Yet if I keep raising my state of consciousness,
I will eventually experience a change in the outer circumstances."
You see my beloved, the
material universe is created from energies that are quite dense. As
Jesus and I have attempted to explain,
there are levels in the material world. So everything that is created
in the matter universe started as an idea in the etheric realm. It
was then solidified as a thought in the mental realm. It received
energy and motion in the emotional realm, before it finally broke
through in the material realm. That is why a spiritually aware person
cannot expect that outer circumstances, material circumstances, will
change overnight.
It will take some time to change the circumstances, and the reason
for that is simple. To change the circumstances in the material universe,
you need to go to the source. So you need to begin by changing the
images in the etheric realm, which will then change the thought and
change the feelings, and finally cycle through to the material realm.
However, because the energies in the material realm are the densest,
it will take some time before you will see a change in the visible
world. That is one reason Jesus told you that in your patience you
will posses your souls.
Jesus has used the image that the material world is like a movie projected
upon a screen. The driving force behind the movie is the white light
coming from the light bulb in the film projector, and that light receives
form as it passes through the filmstrip. Yet what I am telling you
here is that there are three film strips in your subconscious mind.
One is your sense of identity, which abides in the etheric realm.
The other is your mental image of yourself and the world, which abides
in the mental realm. And the third is your feelings about yourself
and the world, which abides in the emotional realm. Your outer circumstances
are simply projections upon the screen of life, as the light of God
passes through your consciousness and is colored and given shape by
the images you hold in your etheric, mental and emotional bodies.
Change yourself!
That is why, as Jesus has tried to explain many times on this website,
that to change your outer circumstances you must begin by changing
your inner circumstances, your state of consciousness. And that is
why you need to realize that your outer circumstances are created
by your consciousness, they are a reflection of the images in your
consciousness. And those images were created by you.
I am aware that these images are the products of a complicated process
that has been going on for many lifetimes. This process has been affected
by your culture and by the lies promoted by dark forces. Nevertheless,
the images were created by you, and this then brings me to the central
truth that all spiritual people need to understand.
To explain that truth, let us begin with the spiritual self. Your
lifestream was created by your spiritual parents and it is a spiritual
being. It is as pure and perfect as when it was first created. I can
assure you that your lifestream, your I AM Presence, is in constant,
conscious contact with God. It constantly feels the infinite and unconditional
love of God, and therefore there is absolutely no point in your I
AM Presence that has any negative feelings about being created or
about having free will. Your I AM Presence feels only infinite joy
and gratitude for the opportunity to exist and to be part of God's
magnificent and wonderful creation. In other words, none of the negative
feelings that affect so many souls on Earth exist at the level of
your I AM Presence.
My point for telling you
this is to help you realize that the very idea that you are created
by God is a truth with modifications. Your I AM Presence was created
by God but your soul was not created by God. Your soul was created
by your I AM Presence as a vehicle for experiencing the material universe
and for expressing its creativity in the material universe. [NOTE:
A later teaching gives a deeper understanding by explaining the existence
of a Conscious
You that created the soul.] My point here is that it simply is
not logical and rational, nor is it true, to blame God for the fact
that your soul exists. God did not create the soul that descended
into the material universe and fell into a lower state of consciousness.
Your I AM Presence created that soul, but your I AM Presence is you.
You created your soul because you made the choice to create that soul,
and you made that choice because you wanted to experience the material
universe and you wanted to help co-create this universe as the kingdom
of God.
So you now see that even though you presently might experience yourself
as a victim of circumstances beyond your control, your soul is not
a victim. Your soul is the result of a choice that you, meaning your
true identity as a spiritual being, made. You made that choice because
you wanted to descend into the material realm and have a positive
experience that would lead to your growth, to a growth in your sense
of identity as a co-creator with God. When you realize this truth,
you can see that there is no point in blaming God and there is no
point in blaming yourself.
Stop the blaming game!
If you are currently experiencing circumstances that cause you suffering,
then instead of blaming God, blaming other people, blaming dark forces
or even blaming yourself, you simply need to stop the blaming game.
You need to forgive yourself and say, "I conducted an experiment
that did not work out as I intended. So I am going to leave that experiment
behind and come up higher in consciousness." You need to decide
that if your current situation does not give you the positive experience
that your soul desires, then you will take the necessary steps to
change your experience and use your present circumstances as a springboard
for creating a positive experience for your soul.
To fully make the decision to simply leave behind that which is imperfect,
you need to recognize the profound truth that no matter what the outer
appearances might be in this world, nobody ever did anything to you.
Let me say that again, "Nobody ever did anything to you. No human
being ever did anything to you and God never did anything to you."
The only force that ever did anything to you was yourself. The meaning
behind that statement is that even though your soul is in the material
universe, it is not made from the energies of the material universe.
Therefore, your soul is truly a light beam that is shining from your
I AM Presence. And therefore, the energies of the material universe
cannot cling to your soul, they cannot damage your soul. However,
what is your soul?
Your soul is a state of
consciousness, a sense of being, a sense of identity. It is a being
that has imagination and free will. And therefore your soul creates
its own sense of identity, and it recreates that sense of identity
every moment. The point here is this. If someone comes to you and
slaps you on one cheek, that person has done something to your body
but that person has done nothing to your soul. Yet you have the ability,
through your imagination and free will, to let the action performed
by the other person affect your sense of identity. And in so doing,
you are doing something to yourself, to your soul.
Do you see my point here? Another person cannot change your sense
of identity—only you can do that. And in order to change your
sense of identity, you must make a choice.
I clearly realize that there are forces in this world who use very
aggressive means in order to manipulate people into accepting an imperfect
and false sense of identity. Those forces are very insidious, and
they are very persuasive in the lies they use to make you believe
that you are a sinner and a mortal human being who has done something
so bad that you can never be free of it. I am not saying that it is
easy for you to escape the clutches of these liars and their lies.
What I am saying is that it is possible for you to escape all the
lies in this world. To do so, you must come to a full acceptance of
the fact that they cannot harm you, that none of the forces of this
world can harm your soul.
What can harm your
soul is that you allow the forces of this world to cause you to change
your sense of identity. That is what will harm you, but that harm
can come about only through the decisions you make. And the wonderful
thing about this realization is that anything that has been done to
your soul through a choice that you made can be undone by you making
a better choice. So the key to being free of all imperfections of
the past is that you must make a choice to let those imperfections
go, to leave them behind, and you do so by forgiving yourself for
making those choices.
Once again, we are back to the paradox that if you recognize that
anything that ever happened to you was the result of decisions you
made, you have been programmed by the forces of this world, and you
have accepted their lies, that you need to blame yourself for making
wrong choices. Well my beloved, as I have tried to explain to you,
there is no need to blame yourself for making wrong choices. If you
blame yourself for making the wrong choice, you will bind yourself
to that choice because in blaming yourself, you are reinforcing that
choice. You are reinforcing it by the energy that streams through
your mind and attention. You are feeding the wrong choice, and as
you keep feeding energy into it, you will build a vortex that will
overpower your thoughts and feelings, until you can no longer see
beyond it.
Think back to my thought
experiment about the light beam from your flashlight. You cannot throw
mud at the light beam and make it stick to the light. However, you
can make bricks out of mud and build a wall around the light until
it is no longer visible. That is what most people have done to their
souls. They have made wrong choices, and instead of simply forgiving
themselves and moving on, they have reinforced those wrong choices.
By feeding energy into these imperfect images, they have built a wall
around their souls so that they no longer realize that they are beings
of light. They think they are sinners and imperfect human beings who
have all kinds of problems and errors that make them unworthy of God's
forgiveness, unworthy to forgive themselves.
Ultimately, those walls are not real because the imperfect energies
have no permanent reality in God. Yet as long as your soul is in this
world, the wall will affect your sense of identity, and that is why
you need to break it down systematically. You need to break down one
brick at a time and throw them into the spiritual fire to be consumed.
Thereby, you gradually uncover the original beauty and perfection
of your soul.
The only thing that can break the negative spiral is that you make
the decision that you will no longer feed the vortex, that you will
no longer feed the wrong decision and that you will no longer blame
yourself for making the wrong choice. You will accept the fact that
God gave you the right to experiment, and that in so doing God gave
you the right to learn from a failed experiment and decide to simply
leave it behind.
When Thomas Edison tried copper as the filament of a light bulb and
it didn't work, he simply threw the copper away never to use it again.
He left behind the idea that copper would ever produce light. He did
not insist on keeping the materials from his failed experiments cluttering
up his laboratory until he could barely move around. He simply threw
away what didn't work and moved on, trying something new until he
found something that worked.
TOPIC: Unmasking the serpentine lie that God caused you to fall
My beloved hearts, we now come to one of the most insidious lies promoted
by dark forces. As I have explained in a previous discourse, the very
essence of life is that the world of form is created by the expanding
force of the Father acting upon the contracting force of the Mother.
The very nature of the expanding force of the Father is to experiment.
It is the force of the Father that causes your soul to have the desire
to experiment, the curiosity to experience something new.
Here comes the subtle point. It is very true that it was the desire
to experiment that made it possible for you to fall into a lower state
of consciousness. You conducted certain experiments that gradually
caused your consciousness to fall in vibration, until you forgot your
spiritual origin. Now my beloved, I have tried to explain to you that
many people on this Earth were misled and manipulated by dark forces
into falling, into making the wrong decisions that caused them to
fall. This should not be difficult to understand. Obviously, you made
the choice to accept the lies of the serpent but nevertheless those
lies were there and they were directed at you.
Here comes the important
point. After you had fallen into a lower state of consciousness, the
serpents now kicked in phase two of their plot. They now told you
that it was precisely your desire to experiment, it was precisely
the fact that you have free will, that caused you to fall. And therefore,
the only way to salvation is that you stop experimenting, that you
stop exercising your free will and that you allow Lucifer, or some
of the other serpents, to control you so that they can save you. They
want to make you believe that God's way of doing things, meaning the
gift of free will and imagination, has put your soul in danger because
there is no guarantee that you will be saved. They also want you to
believe that if you follow them and allow them to control you, your
salvation will be guaranteed.
My beloved hearts, this is precisely the lie that permeates this world
and has given rise to numerous claims that an outer organization or
institution, be it a church, a dictator or a political ideology can
save people or can save the world. You should not try to experiment,
you should not think that you can know truth on your own. You should
simply follow the leaders who know best.
This is the lie that has trapped more people than any other lie. Yes,
it was your drive to experiment that made it possible for you to fall,
but at the same time it is only your drive to experiment that can
help you rise back to the Christ consciousness. Do you see what is
actually happening here? It is true that you could fall only because
you have free will and a desire to experiment. Yet it was not the
desire to experiment that caused you to fall; it was the serpentine
lies that caused you to fall. It was perfectly possible to experiment
with your free will without falling. The fall was caused by the fact
that you made the choice to accept some of the lies produced by the
serpents. So in reality, it was not God but the serpents who caused
you to fall.
Here is the essential truth. The serpents used their lies to manipulate
people into creating the current misery on this planet, and they have
also attempted to set themselves up as the true saviors, as the only
saviors, who can save you from the problem that they created. Their
plot is to create so much suffering that you are willing to follow
them blindly in order to escape the suffering. They create a problem
and then try to sell you the "only" solution to the problem.
In reality, the serpents will never save you and the reason is simple.
Salvation means that you reestablish your true identity as a son or
daughter of God, as being one with God. The serpents have chosen to
leave that sense of identity behind, and they identify themselves
as being in opposition to God. As long as you see yourself in opposition
to God, you cannot possibly obtain union with God, and therefore you
cannot possibly be saved.
Please take note that the
true Savior, my beloved son Jesus, always affirmed his oneness with
God. He came to show all people that they have the potential to attain
oneness with God, yet the serpents have perverted the original teachings
of Jesus so that no one dare follow in his footsteps, lest they be
accused of blasphemy by those who embody the serpentine consciousness.
So what is it that gives you the opportunity to reestablish your union
with God? It is your free will and your desire to experiment. Do you
see the essential point? It was your ability to experiment that led
to your fall but it is this very ability that can lead you back to
the Christ consciousness. And it is precisely the plot of the serpents
to use every subtle lie they can think of to prevent you from using
your drive to experiment to come back to union with God. They want
to stop you from experimenting so that you don't even dare to attempt
reestablishing your union with God.
Do you see the very simple truth I am trying to explain? Your soul
is a vehicle for experiencing the world. It experiences the world
through imagination and free will. And through those faculties it
can add on to its sense of identity. What causes the soul to become
trapped in the material world is a limited sense of identity. And
that limited sense of identity is the result of an experiment with
undesirable consequences. Yet the only thing that can help the soul
escape the prison of the material world, the only thing that can save
the soul, is to continue experimenting until you find the higher identity
of the Christ mind. The soul must come back to a state of grace in
which it accepts that it is worthy in the eyes of God, because it
identifies itself as a son or daughter of God.
The only way to get back to that true sense of identity is that the
soul must recreate its sense of identity as a Christed being; it must
experiment with a higher state of consciousness. The soul must dare
to look for a higher understanding of truth than what it has found
in the serpentine lies that permeate the world.
My beloved hearts, Jesus gave a very profound discourse on the fact
that human beings can create
their own god. I must tell you that there is indeed an angry and
judgmental god, as envisioned by many people on this planet. Yet it
is an absolute truth that the angry god is a false god created by
human beings and dark forces. The true God is a God of unconditional
love. In fact, God’s love is so unconditional that you have
no need to even ask for his forgiveness. The moment you forsake the
state of consciousness that caused you to accept an imperfect sense
of identity, at that very moment you are forgiven by God.
TOPIC: Why the key to your freedom is to turn the other cheek
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.
