Peter: Interestingly enough, after all that flooding of so many questions
two days ago, everything seems to be quiet and no one is asking
anything. Yesterday we were talking about John the Baptist. Unless
You would like to make some additional comments about anything You
wish, I would like to ask You, if I may, in connection with John the
Baptist, to comment on Your statement regarding him, as recorded in
Luke 7:28, and I quote, “For I say to you, among those born of women
there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least
in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” This statement is somewhat
confusing. If John the Baptist was the greatest prophet of all, why is it
that he who is least in Your kingdom is greater than he? What does it
actually mean?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Before answering your question, Peter, I
would like to add something to what we discussed yesterday. It relates
to the fundamental law of Creation which states that everything
proceeds from within to without and that this law cannot be broken. As
you know, Peter, in order to activate the negative state and its specific
lifestyle, as well as its end product — human life, it was necessary to
deviate from that law. As long as you consistently follow all procedures
and creative efforts in accordance with the requirements of that law, it
is impossible to activate and to put into motion any other type of life.
On the other hand, it is utterly impossible to initiate any type of life
other than the positive, within the domain of the positive state, by
trying to avoid application of that law in the process of your creative or,
in this case, of pseudo-creative efforts. Any attempt to break or to avoid
that law would end in total failure.
In order to succeed in this pseudo-creative effort, it was necessary to
separate from the sphere and atmosphere of the positive state a certain
contingent of sentient entities, as well as a certain amount of very
specific energy, and place them all in a state totally different from that
of the positive state. Once separated, a great gulf was fixed between the
positive state and the negative state so that for a long time, no one was
able to cross it in either direction. The crossover couldn’t happen until
all conditions for the establishment of pseudo-life and human life were
achieved, and different types of pseudo-laws were applied and instituted
that totally opposed the multiversal law of ‘from within to without,’ as
well as any other laws of the positive state. If crossovers were to be
possible during the time of activation of the negative state, its
activation would totally fail. The reason for this failure would be in the
fact that the mentioned multiversal law would prevent it from
happening because it would exert its influence through the line that
would connect it to the positive state.
However, within the domain of the positive state, that law has never
been violated. As you know, the positive state consists of its own
spiritual dimension, intermediate dimension and physical dimension.
All causes are initiated in the spiritual dimension, proceed to the
intermediate dimension and end in the physical dimension where they
have their effects. From there a feedback is provided which goes back
through the intermediate dimension to the spiritual dimension where
the impact and effect of its causes on all dimensions are registered and
utilized for initiation of further causes. This is how everything has been
occurring, at all times, in the positive state.
Because of the above described factors, nothing of this nature can be
applied to human life and how things have been proceeding in it, as well
as in the negative state in general. One of the major reasons why so
little is known to humans and everyone else in the Zone of
Displacement about the true nature of life of the positive state, is to
prevent them from trying to utilize any methods or lifestyle of the
positive state in their own domain. Incongruency and discord of the two
systems is of such tremendous proportions that if humans and other
creatures were to mix, it would be like mixing together matter and
antimatter. Such a mixture would result in a spectacular explosion that
would annihilate the entire humanity and everyone else in the negative
state without a trace.
This is one of the reasons why, up to this point, such a mixture was not
possible and why the entire positive state was kept, symbolically
speaking, far away from the negative state. However, from the
beginning of transmission of My New Revelation conditions were set-up
for shortening the distance between the two states and bringing them
closer and closer together until during the currently ongoing shift, the
positive state was placed in the midst of the negative state.
As was revealed in the previous Dialogs, this positioning is required and
is very essential if eternal elimination of the negative state can take
place. It was also revealed that I built a special type of insulation placed
around the members of the positive state, the members of the negative
state, and humans proper so that their mixture would cause no harm to
anyone or anything. Now we have here a setup that has never been in
existence before. Within each state, the insulation factor prevents any
seepage of each others’ laws and lifestyles so there is no contamination
and poisoning of each others’ spheres and atmospheres. For that reason,
regardless of how close they are to each other, or in the midst of one
another, they still function within their own parameters. As long as the
lessons and learning are continued, the negative state and human life
have to follow their established pseudo-laws and pseudo-rules.
These facts are brought to your attention, or rather, it is a reminder to
you to not expect any apparent or obvious changes in the structure and
dynamics of life of the negative state and human life as far as their
pseudo-laws and pseudo-rules are concerned. You were warned
previously that as the condensation factor of the negative state is
becoming more and more dense and intense, its apparent manifestation
in human life will become progressively more negative and evil. You
have already been a witness to this happening in your own localities.
However, because of the special insulation that I placed around you,
and because by your spirit and soul you were positioned in the midst of
the positive state, you, as My true representatives, by placing all your
trust and hope in Me, and surrendering your will and your entire life to
Me, will be fully protected from any adverse effects from the results of
the negative state’s condensation process and from the poisonous
atmosphere of the human life.
At the present time during the currently ongoing shift, your duty and
responsibility, by your own free will and choice, is to radiate into human
life and into the negative state in general, from the position of your
unconditional love and wisdom, the state of peace, calmness, serenity
and tranquility and, most importantly, non-judgmental attitude, mercy,
forgiveness, acceptance and the full understanding of the fact that
everyone is situated in a position where they are supposed to be; that
everything serves some positive and good purpose in its ultimate
outcome. No matter where you are, no matter what type of work or job
you do or hold or, in some cases, you don’t do or hold, no matter with
whom you are involved or how you are involved, you are there because
you are needed there in order to provide to that place, condition, state,
situation, or wherever you find yourself at each point of your current
life, these characteristics of the positive state. By doing that, you will be
establishing a very important foundation on which transformation of
the typical negative type of human life into a positive type of human life
will be accomplished, as exemplified by the members of the New
Universe.
In this process, your collaborative effort with the members of the New
Universe is very crucial. It is with these members of the New Universe
who, with your help and cooperation, will be able to build this
foundation. After all, human life as such, because of its sentient
character, cannot be destroyed. However, it can be transformed from its
purely negative connotation to its purely positive connotation as
manifested in the lives of the members of the New Universe. The
possibility of this transformation, as you know, Peter, was established
by the process of making My Human Divine after I made My Divine
human. I am purposefully not capitalizing the word ‘human’ after the
words ‘I made My Divine...’ in order to emphasize the important fact
that I chose, by My own free will and choice, to lower Myself to the level
of humans, becoming one of them. However, once I made that human
within Me Divine, following that process, it is being designated as
Human — with a capital ‘H.’
The importance of this process, of making My human Divine, cannot be
emphasized enough. On the successful accomplishment of that act, not
only did I completely change My Nature, but I made it possible for
humans to be saved from the negative aspects of their nature, placing
them into a condition of transformation into purely positive aspects. My
New Nature enabled Me, also, to create My New Universe that reflects,
in its relative condition, this Absolute Act and provides for humans this
important possibility.
Your position and role in this process, as My true representatives, is
therefore, very crucial and significant because most of this work will be
done through your behavior, attitude, understanding, acceptance and
manifestation of all positive attributes contained in the members of the
New Universe and made available to you by them. In an important
sense, you will become very effective mediators of those attributes from
the members of the New Universe. Of course, as always, only if you
agree to do so by your own free will and choice.
Whatever has been conveyed to you up to this point in this particular
Dialog, leads us, obliquely, to the answer to your question, Peter, about
My statement relating to John the Baptist. At the first glance, there
seems to be no connection between My statement at that time and what
I have been saying to you up to this very dot. In that statement, which I
made during My First Coming, is contained the mystery of positioning
various forces within the positive state as well as within human life on
planet Zero. The issue here is lowering yourself to the level of human
life which is considered to be a manifestation of the most extreme
externalization. The word ‘lowering’ is not a good expression or
description of this process. The more appropriate expression to use
could be something like coming out from the state of internals to the
state of ultimate externals to the point of losing any contact with, and in
some cases even awareness of the internals, or that they even exist at
all.
The process here is described how such positioning can be accomplished
and how it compares to the state of internals designated here by the
words ‘kingdom of God.’ The only way one can relinquish the state of
internals, or, in this case, the kingdom of God is by being born through
a human woman. She provides such possible means through her womb.
The positioning in her womb accomplishes a total separation from the
state of internals or the kingdom of God and places one into the state of
externals without any apparent connectedness to his/her original
source.
Because in the connotation of the discussed case, woman does not
represent a female gender, but the negative state in its totality; to be
born of women in general, signifies to accept the conditions of the
negative state and human life in particular.
If you compare this condition with the conditions that exist in the
kingdom of God, then anyone there would be in a greater degree of
knowledge and understanding than anyone born of women. Being born
of women, because of the negative connotation of this process, means to
be limited in all aspects of one’s life.
This condition, as you know, is very specific to human life. However, if
an agent of the positive state chose to be born into human life, and if
he/she had a very special mission from Me to become someone who
prepares the way for My entrance into the human life, in this case, John
the Baptist, he would be considered the greatest prophet of all times for
the simple reason that no one else had been in that particular role
before him and no one else would be in that role after him. However,
regardless of how important that role was from the human standpoint
and from the standpoint of the situation which existed and still exists
on planet Zero, because of the gross limitations into which human life is
embedded, even if anyone in human life would have the greatest
possible abilities, gifts, talents, understanding and knowledge, as well
as mind control, as many prophets of those times had, he/she would still
be in their much lesser degree than someone in the kingdom of God. For
this reason, ‘he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.’
The issue here is the relativity of one’s condition. The more remote one
is positioned from a state of internals, the greater degree of relativity
one acquires. If you find yourself positioned in the state which is totally
separated from the internals, and your entire being is placed in an
ultimate state of the externals, your relativity would be of the most
extreme nature. Because human life is the embodiment of this extreme
condition, anyone incarnating into human life would be suffering the
problem of the extreme relativity to anyone or anything not in that
position.
So, within the confines of this extreme relative condition one would be
able to accomplish only as much as the limitations of that extremeness
would allow him/her to reach.
However, even in this condition there are differences in how much one
can accomplish or how far one can go with what is available to him/her.
Someone, who is able to fully utilize all available potentials of this
condition, would be considered much greater in comparison with
someone who is not able to do so. The more awareness of the existence
of the internal states, the more utilization of the available resources in
the external states. And vice versa, of course.
On the other hand, in comparison with what can be accomplished in the
positive state, designated here as the kingdom of God, the
accomplishments of one who is positioned in the extreme externals,
seems like nothing. But if you look at his/her accomplishments from the
position of human life, in comparison with someone in the same
position, he/she would be considered the greatest among equals, so-to-
speak.
This is the perspective in which My statement of that time needs to be
seen and understood. In essence, I was describing, obliquely, the nature
of the positive state, the nature of the human life and the situation with
someone who chooses to incarnate on planet Zero through a woman’s
womb but whose origin was in the positive state.
Even I, during My separation from My Essence-Father on planet Zero,
was in the state of limitations which wouldn’t allow Me to do more than
was appropriate within those limitations. As you know, I had to wait to
be asked by other humans to do something for them before I could do
anything for them. And even then, they had to have faith in My ability
to do so. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work.
Of course, under those conditions, to do something more than the
defined limitations of human life would cause tremendous damage
because it would take away from humans the familiar ground on which
their life is built. In order to prevent that from happening, I had to
confine My works to familiar grounds.
My so-called miraculous works didn’t violate in any way those
requirements because humans of that time, in that particular region
where I did those works were very familiar with the miracles from My
prophets whom I provided for them during the history of their existence.
Why do you think such provisions were made? All those famous and
powerful prophets were sent to them by Me in order to provide such
familiarity to humans so that the way would be prepared for My
appearance among them. Because at that time, in the majority of the
people’s view I was considered to be a powerful prophet, therefore, it
was expected of Me to perform such miracles. So, from this position, no
crossing of the boundaries of their gross limitations occurred.
What relevance does all this have for you in your present condition?
Some of you are perhaps frustrated in the limits that you are
experiencing in your current life on planet Zero, as well as in your
position, work, job, unemployment, physical or mental health or in
whatever you are experiencing and going through. These limitations
could be very unpleasant and might cause all kinds of personal
problems and adverse mental states, such as depression, anxiety, fears,
uncertainty, irritability, indecisiveness and similar states of mind.
In view of the revealed facts, it is obvious that you have to function with
what is available to each one of you without expecting or wanting or
desiring more.
No matter how difficult it seems to be on the external level, if you accept
your condition for what it is, knowing that this is the way it is supposed
to be, and knowing that you do your best under any conditions, and that
you make an all-out effort to utilize as much as possible everything that
is available to you within the gross limitations of your human life, you
are fulfilling your mission and you are illustrating your ability to
properly cope with all situations which are put before you. By doing
that, you are becoming My true representatives.
Peter: Thank You very much for Your clarifications and answer to my
question. Is there anything else today that You would like to add?
The Lord Jesus Christ: You are welcome, Peter. No, not today. There
are some other things that you need to do. So, go and do them. Have a
pleasant afternoon.
