Peter: This morning I have a couple of questions. However, before
proceeding with my questions, I would like to ask You if You have
anything to add or to clarify regarding anything You wish.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Thank you, Peter, for your kind offer. Yes, I do
have something to add to the topic of our discussion yesterday. It relates
to you personally, Peter. You have always wondered why, during the
time you were writing your books containing My New Revelation, you
had never been put into a position that would have allowed you to devote
your full-time to your task in this respect. During all that time you had
to attend to your professional job on a full-time basis. No matter how
much you asked Me to provide you with some type of financial resource
(for example, winning a lottery) in order to avoid being bogged down in
your regular full-time job, your request was never answered or granted.
An important spiritual reason existed why you were put into such a
stressful and burdensome situation. It relates to the issue of preferential
treatment, discussed in the Forty First Dialog. The first reason relates to
the exemplification of the fact that although you are My true
representative, who is in a particularly special position as the
transmitter of My New Revelation, I don’t treat you differently from
anyone else. The negative state would have no recourse or reason to
point a finger at you, saying that because of who you are, I prefer you to
all others. If My treatment of you were different, more preferential and
more considerate, and if I were to listen to you and arrange for you to
win that lottery, for example, the members of the negative state would
immediately conclude that I am like them. After all, it is they who
established such a mode of treatment. In that case, what would be the
difference between them and Me and the members of My positive state?
For that reason, in some ways, your life, Peter, has been much more
difficult than the life of some other people. That way, no one could blame
Me or you for giving you preferential treatment. I and you agreed to this
arrangement before you incarnated on planet Zero.
The second reason relates to a typical human sanity issue. During the
transmission of My New Revelation, you were employed full-time. In
your employment, you provided continuous clinical supervision for many
professional people. You taught, advised and guided them in their
clinical work with seriously mentally and emotionally afflicted people. As
a professional person, you were highly respected, listened to and sought
out. Your logic, reasoning, understanding, patience, the kindness in your
approach and the way you treated them were an exemplification of
clarity, cohesiveness, logic, reason, stability, balance and maturity. None
of these traits would have indicated to anyone that you were insane,
delusional or mentally ill. All these professional people, whom you
supervised, are a living attestation that you are not some kind of a crazy,
insane guy who is unable to recognize the difference between right and
wrong, between reality and delusions, between sanity and insanity and
between rationality and irrationality, etc. Because of that, no one could
or can accuse you that you were or are a mentally ill person and that
therefore, all your writings are the fruits of your insane mind. An insane
mind would be unable to function in the so-called normal world for a
minute, especially the setting in which you were working during those
times. The nature of your work required you to be highly objective, clear-
headed, rational, intelligent and fully cognizant of the reality of the
world and environment in which you worked and functioned.
If I were to put you in a situation in which no one out there could witness
these important traits of your personality, Peter, it would be easily
concluded that you are a mentally ill person with religious delusions and
delusions of grandeur. In other words, they would diagnose you either as
someone suffering from delusional disorder or paranoid schizophrenia.
That would discredit the verity of your books and their content as being
My New Revelation. This way no one in the negative state or on planet
Zero or anywhere else has any reason to label you in such a manner. This
is especially true about the inhabitants of the Zone Displacement and of
some other dimensions. With the human situation it is a little different.
Regardless of anything, they could still consider you a mentally ill
person. Such is their nature.
The present situation with you, Peter, is different. You have reached the
legitimate retirement age. Like anyone else, you worked to the very end
of the legal age when you could retire. Again, no one can say that you
were treated preferentially by Me, because I didn’t provide you with
anything extra that would have allowed you to retire at an earlier age.
Again, I and you agreed to this arrangement before your incarnation on
planet Zero.
This is all that I would like to add to the discussed issue. You may now
ask your questions, Peter.
Peter: My first question relates to the acquittal of President Clinton and
the spiritual significance of this act from Your standpoint and the
standpoint of the members of Your positive state and the New Universe.
In other words, what is behind the scenes?
The Lord Jesus Christ: As you know, Peter, any such act has an
important spiritual correspondence. In this case, it is not that much
President Clinton who matters personally, but what his position and role
represents, as President of the United States, and to what the United
States themselves correspond and represent in the scheme of events and
happenings. Not all aspects of these factors could be revealed at this
time. The situation behind the scenes is still volatile, unstable and
explosive, although a step was taken in the right direction. From the
onset of My answer to your question, Peter, I want to make it very clear
that the issue here is not whether President Clinton was guilty or not
guilty as charged but the spiritual implications of the whole process as it
unfolded during that time.
In some ways the entire process reflected the situation that existed and
was taking place in relationship between the pseudo-creators and the
renegades. It would be easier for you to conclude that President Clinton
represented some faction of the renegades. However, you would be wrong
in your conclusion. No matter what kind of a person President Clinton is,
or how bad or good he is, in his position as the President of this country,
he represents the entire United States, which is under the control of
pseudo-creators. Because of this fact, his acquittal signifies or represents
the acquittal of this country from the accusations of the renegades and
their claim to take it over. In this sense, the renegades sustained their
first serious defeat. You may ask, Peter, and I see this question in your
mind, of what did the renegades accuse the United States?
In order to answer this question, you would have to know to what the
United States of America spiritually corresponds. As you know, Peter, in
most instances, each such correspondence is two-fold. One has a positive
connotation, the other has a negative one. In the positive connotation,
the United States of America represents or corresponds to that region of
the spiritual world and its inhabitants which embodies freedom,
independence and everyone’s right to be themselves, with the privilege
for self-determination and for the unique expression, impression and
manifestation of their creativity and incentives. In other words, this is a
country of unhindered opportunities for everyone to be productive,
creative and inventive.
In the negative connotation, the United States of America represents or
corresponds to the false spirituality on which the pseudo-life of the
negative state is founded. This false spirituality is rooted in money and
commercialism on one side, and in fallacious religions and their
numerous sects on the other side. No other country in the world has so
much material riches and so many diverse and numerous fallacious
religions and their respective sects as this country does. They undermine
and destroy in humans any sense of true spirituality as the proper
foundation for the true life.
Due to these factors, the renegades accused the pseudo-creators and,
symbolically speaking, the United States of America in the person of
Clinton, of double standards and hypocrisy. The renegades say that the
presently existing lifestyle in this country is more congruent to their
nature than to the pseudo-creators’ and that therefore, they have the
right to be in control of this country and all the regions in the Zone of
Displacement to which this country corresponds.
And here comes the issue of President Clinton’s acquittal. Following his
acquittal, President Clinton made a brief statement in which he
apologized to the people of this country, admitting his wrongdoings. Once
again, he asked for forgiveness and expressed his deep sorrow for putting
this country through so much suffering. By doing that, because of his
representation and spiritual correspondence in his person, the United
States of America and all other regions of the Zone of Displacement to
which it corresponds, refuted any claims that the renegades made
against them.
In this particular connotation, it doesn’t make any difference if President
Clinton was sincere or not in his own personal inner self about the
feelings or words he expressed. This is not the issue. The issue is that
such important words and feelings were expressed. Because they were
uttered to the face of the entire population of planet Zero, they set up an
important foundation on which the renegades’ claim in this respect could
be refuted and they could be defeated on this particular front.
Peter: Half of the population of this country, as the polls show, believed
that he was sincere and the other half that he was not; although a
majority expressed satisfaction that he was acquitted.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Look at this situation in the following manner,
Peter. Spiritually speaking, one half represents the view of the negative
state, the other half, the view of the positive state. The members of the
negative state are totally unable to accept that anyone can be sincere
about anything. They judge it from their own nature, which is founded on
insincerity. The members of the positive state always want to accept that
whenever someone asks for forgiveness, he/she is always sincere about it.
Do you remember what we said before in one of the first Dialogs? That it
is better to err on the positive side than on the negative side. Don’t forget
this rule — ever.
In a typically psychological frame of interpreting this phenomenon, the
half of the population which didn’t believe in President Clinton’s
sincerity projected their own tendency to be insincere about some things.
Because of that, they don’t like to admit that anyone else can be sincere
in this respect. That way they assuage their own guilt, which they would
have if they were to admit someone else’s sincerity.
But there is another issue to this entire situation. Look what happened
at the very end of President Clinton’s brief speech. When he turned
around, leaving the podium from which he addressed the press, someone
shouted a question at him. He stopped, hesitated and came back despite
the fact that his aides, who were standing in the background, were
indicating to him not to turn back because they were afraid that he
would say something which would spoil the whole outcome of his well-
rehearsed speech. However, he disregarded their advice and in a totally
spontaneous manner, responded with one of the most-needed-to-be-heard
phrases, indicating to the entire world that if you are forgiven, you
should also forgive others.
It doesn’t matter whether President Clinton really meant it or not within
his own mind — that is between Me and him. What matters is that the
entire world, as well as the entire Creation and the Zone of
Displacement, heard his important message. These words were
desperately needed to be said by someone in the position occupied by
President Clinton and to what his position spiritually corresponds. If
President Clinton would have been a representative of the renegades, as
some of you surmised, he would have never been able to utter such
words. This would be contrary to the very nature of the renegades.
However, the pseudo-creators would be able to say such and similar
words because, many of them, in their present state of mind, are really
sorry for what they unleashed on the entire Creation. They asked for and
received My forgiveness. And because of that, they are also able to
forgive.
The reason why it was so important that someone like President Clinton
said those words without any preparation, spontaneously and coming
from his own volition, was because this world has more than enough
bloodshed, vengeance, retaliation, violence, non-forgiveness, rejection
and all kinds of misery and suffering. It was time that something
entirely different was put into the mind of humanity — the need to
forgive and to be forgiven. This is the reason why I said above that the
acquittal of President Clinton was a step in the right direction. If he had
not been acquitted, such words from his specific position and to what
it corresponds — and this is very important to emphasize — would
have never been uttered, and humanity and all mentioned regions
elsewhere would be taken over by the renegades. In that case, some of
the very unpleasant scenarios for the ending of the negative state, as
described in the previous Dialogs, would have to be chosen. I can assure
you that you don’t want to make such a choice.
So, as you see, the fundamental issue here is the issue of unconditional
forgiveness. The negative state and humanity is still lacking it. They are
still bent on punishment, cruelty, vengeance, retaliation and retribution.
But now, thanks to the entire setup with President Clinton, they heard
something they didn’t want to hear, but which registered in their mind,
nevertheless. And this is important.
Talking about unconditional forgiveness and also mercy, which precedes
forgiveness, I would like to remind you of two events from My life on
planet Zero which happened during My First Coming. Actually, one was
an event, the other was a parable.
The first case relates to a woman who was caught in the very act of
adultery (John 8:3-11). So, the Pharisees and the scribes brought her to
Me and asked My opinion about her situation. They hastily pointed out
to Me that Moses, in the law, commanded them that such should be
stoned to death. Do you think that they really wanted to know My
opinion? They wanted to catch Me contradicting their laws so that they
might have something with which to accuse Me. They were hypocrites.
So, what did I tell them? “He who is without sin among you, let him
throw a stone at her first.” In the terms of My New Revelation, we would
say that he who is without problems, let him/her be the first to condemn
her. Hearing these words, being convicted by their conscience, they all
went out one by one, beginning with the oldest down to the last. But the
most important part of this event is when I was left alone with the
accused woman. I asked her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours?
Has no one condemned you?” She answered Me that no, no one had. Then
I told her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
Here is a beautiful illustration of My True Nature. Everyone on your
planet and in the negative state in general, represented here by the
hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, by rigidly clinging to their literal
laws, would like to condemn to death anyone who, in their eyes, is a
breaker of their laws. In this case, President Clinton. Of course, it would
be the death of his career and not his physical death. And that could be
much worse than physical death. Unfortunately, even some of you, My
representatives, were bent on punishing him and removing him from
office without really understanding the entire setup for why his behavior
was brought to light for the entire planet, not to mention to all other
regions of the Multiverse. In doing so, for that moment you inadvertently
and unintentionally sided with the negative state, in this case, with the
renegades.
Your spiritual duty in this respect would be to respond the same way as I
responded to the situation with the mentioned woman. Because
President Clinton was found not guilty as charged, in that sense, the
accusations against him were nullified, and he stands before Me without
his accusers. For these reasons, neither I accuse him of anything. The
only thing I can tell him is, “Go, do your job, and don’t repeat the same
mistake again.” Thus, giving him another chance to make amends and to
correct his mistakes. Whether he will do so or not is a different story. The
choice is his.
As My true representatives, you are being asked right now, by Me, in all
humbleness and humility, (of course, as always, only if you choose so
by your own free will and choice, and in no other way!), to reflect
My attitude in your own life, behavior and attitude in this case, as well
as in any other situations and cases, so that you can become a beacon of
bright light of unconditional mercy and forgiveness in a world where
no such concepts are recognized or retained. And if there is any tendency
to forgive, it is only conditional, accompanied by some strict demands,
requirements and conditions, as reflected, for example, in your
probationary judicial sentences. That way you will be able to set up a
condition for the entire humanity, from which it will be able to derive
and establish the ability to be forgiven and to forgive in the life of
humans. These two concepts are inseparable. Forgiveness can be
meaningful only under two conditions: One, that it be unconditional
without any strings attached; two, to be forgiven and to forgive at the
very same time — as was indicated so nicely by President Clinton; and of
course, throughout My New Revelation, the existence of which, he has no
conscious awareness.
What would happen in a case when someone is forgiven but, in turn,
doesn’t offer forgiveness? This situation is nicely described in the parable
of the Unforgiving Servant, as recorded in Matthew 18:21-35. This
parable depicts a servant who owed his master ten thousand talents. In
the value of this time, let’s say $100,000 dollars. But as he was not able
to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children
and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant fell down
before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay all.’
So, the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him,
and forgave him the debt without any strings attached. But what does
the forgiven servant do? He goes and finds one of his fellow servants who
owed him a hundred denarii (probably a few hundred dollars in your
time), takes him by the throat and demands to be paid what is owed to
him. The fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him to have
patience and said that he would pay him. But he would not forgive him
and he went and threw him into prison until he should pay the debt. So
when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very
grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his
master said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt
because you begged me. Should you not have had compassion on your
fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’
What were the consequences of that servant’s inability to forgive, after
he himself was forgiven? He was delivered to the torturers (in our words,
to the Hells) until he should pay all that was due to his master. Or in our
words, until he bears all the consequences of his unwillingness to forgive
no matter what. And the warning that I gave following My presentation
of this parable, was very clear: The same thing will be done to you if each
of you, from your heart, do not forgive your brother his trespasses,
whoever he is. In this case, President Clinton. Here is the caveat: Unless
you are willing to forgive unconditionally, by that attitude, you will be
unable to receive or to internalize My unconditional forgiveness. Your
unwillingness to forgive, blocks you from or closes the doors through
which My unconditional forgiveness can enter you and perform the
necessary work to eliminate the negative state from your life. This is the
way it is and there is no other way in this respect.
Let Me tell you something, Peter: My role is never to be a prosecutor of
anyone no matter what they did or didn’t do. I am always in the role of
someone who defends. It is the nature of the negative state to prosecute.
The members of the negative state like nothing better than to prosecute
either their own members or, even with greater delight, the members of
the positive state or you, My representatives. In some ways,
metaphorically speaking, you can conceptualize the entire negative state
as being a prosecutor of the positive state and of My entire Creation and
Me as their defender.
In the case of President Clinton, because of the spiritual correspondence
of his position and role in the scheme of things, his prosecutors were, in
fact, the renegades. I defended him because it was My role to do so. It is
an integral part of My Nature to be in that role no matter how much or
how little any prosecuted person is guilty as charged, in your view.
Remember please, the foundation of the entire positive state stands on
unconditional mercy and forgiveness. It reflects My Absolute
Unconditional Mercy and Forgiveness which is being constantly and
unceasingly generated from My New Nature and emanated into everyone
in My positive state. Because the nature of the positive state is rooted in
this condition, which is one of the most important conditions, anyone who
is unwilling to forgive unconditionally or to accept My unconditional
forgiveness, is unable to enter My positive state. Even if such an
individual were to enter My positive state, he/she could not survive its
sphere and atmosphere. It would not be conducive to the survival of such
an individual.
The key word here is ‘unconditional.’ Why is it that we put so much
emphasis on this word? From the position of your typical human nature
you look at things very differently than how they are looked at by Me and
the members of My positive state. In your human view, from the position
of being in the midst of the negative state — your prior position — you
are habituated to evaluate everything in human life and in the negative
state in general as something very evil, bad, putrid, unforgivable,
despicable and intolerable. Thus, the need to judge it and to reject it. It is
appropriate to reject it but it is not appropriate to judge it. Don’t ever
forget for what purpose the negative state was permitted to come to its
adverse fruition. Don’t ever disregard the services it provides for all in
the process of their learning about its nature. Don’t reject the fact that by
the nature of its pseudo-life it will make possible for everyone to make
the right choice for the fullness and completeness of life in the positive
state. And even more, don’t ever forget that all participants in the
negative state volunteered upon My own request to illustrate and
demonstrate such putrid, evil, negative, despicable or whatever, pseudo-
life.
What does all this tell you? As mentioned in My New Revelation and its
Updates, they agreed to partake in illustrating such a life only under one
condition, which I offered them personally: They will be forgiven
UNCONDITIONALLY for whatever they would do no matter how
horrible, inconceivable, evil, negative, putrid, terrible or insane it would
be — after illustrating and demonstrating all consequences,
outcomes and results of such deeds. Only one reason exists for the
Hells’ pseudo-being and pseudo-existence — to illustrate such
consequences, results and outcomes. You can see from this logic that once
this illustration and demonstration is completed, no need will exist for
the continuation of the Hells and their negative state. At the moment of
the closure of this illustration and demonstration, My unconditional
mercy and forgiveness will set in and will bring everyone out of the Hells
and any other places throughout the Zone of Displacement and planet
Zero.
So, as My true representatives, you need to learn to stop looking at the
negative state from within its pseudo-being and pseudo-existence —
which puts you into the position of judging and condemning it, and to
look at it from My position and the position of My positive state — which
puts you in a position of showing mercy to it and unconditionally
forgiving everyone who partakes in it. Look at it as an experiment and
not as something that has any other meaning or significance.
It is time for everyone to realize how false and distorted is the
conceptualization of the pseudo-being and pseudo-existence of the
negative state and its outcome, as offered by the human religious
systems, their holy books and everyone else. It is time to break down
their accursed explanation and brainwashing about its nature and the
purpose for which it was permitted to appear. It is time for you to take
My position and accept My explanation about all these issues and factors
related to the negative state and human life. This is not an easy request.
You have been in the opposite position for so long that it became a habit
for you to look upon it from the commonly accepted position held by
everyone, or most of everyone on planet Zero and elsewhere. Unless you
are willing to change your position and accept My explanation and
position in this as well as in all other respects, you won’t be able to serve
Me as My true representatives. The revelation about these factors and
their acceptance by you as related to the nature of the negative state is
an integral part of the currently ongoing shift. And in one limited sense,
the situation with President Clinton is a test set up for you to see on
which side you will place yourself — on the side of the prosecutors or on
the side of the defendant. You have a choice in this matter. This is very
important, more important than you can surmise at the present time.
Peter: Thank You very much for bringing this to our attention. I feel
that I should postpone asking my second question to some other time.
Am I correct?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, you are correct. We may continue
tomorrow if needed and feasible. In the meantime, have a nice day.
