Peter: I would like to interrupt, if I may, our break in dialoging in order
to bring to Your attention some concerns expressed by one of the readers
of these Dialogs and my inappropriate reaction to these concerns. May I?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Of course you may, Peter. It was clearly
indicated at the very end of the Fiftieth Dialog that if a need arises to
interrupt this break, it should be done. So, go ahead.
Peter: Thank You very much. Actually, there are two concerns and, of
course, my stupid reaction to them. The first concern relates to the
statement in the Forty Second Dialog about the results of the poll which
was conducted shortly after President Clinton’s apology following his
acquittal by the U.S. Senate. It was stated there that half of the polled
population didn’t believe in his sincerity. Based on that factor, the
psychological indication was made that those people were responding out
of their own guilt for not being sincere themselves. The reader of that
statement took it somewhat personally because he is Your representative
and he believes that he did not act from that type of psychological
position. I think the issue here is that You sweepingly proclaimed
everyone in that category as insincere themselves. The other concern
expressed by the same individual was that, somehow, nothing is
mentioned about wisdom but only about unconditional mercy and
forgiveness. In his conceptualization, wisdom requires justice in order to
balance things out — as was pointed out so many times throughout Your
New Revelation. And of course, my reaction to these concerns.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Let Me address your reaction first, Peter. Any
time someone expresses such concerns, in the manner and by the
words used for expression of such concerns, and this is important, it
triggers many times over your doubts about the true source of such
statements, in this case, whether it is I who said that. For many years
now you have been asking for resolving that problem and for being able
to restrain yourself from such inappropriate, in your view, reactions.
However, as of this date, your request has not been granted. You still
have a tendency to react like that. There are important spiritual reasons
why, no matter how hard you have been trying to get rid of such
reactions, so far you have not been successful. These reasons cannot be
revealed at the present time. Some requests of this nature can be
granted either much later during your life on this planet or only after
you leave human life. Eventually though, your problem will work itself
out and you will be free from it — maybe not here and maybe only after
you come home to the spiritual world, but nevertheless, it will be worked
out.
Peter: All I can say is that I am disgusted with it. I wish I would be able
to restrain myself better in situations like that.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Be patient, Peter. Don’t forget that everything
ultimately serves some good purpose. No matter how burdensome or
troublesome it seems to be at each time such reactions are triggered,
they do serve something that is needed at this time. And concerns that
such reactions of yours, Peter, may discourage the readers from asking
you their questions or raising some important spiritual issues with you,
are understandable, but I can assure you and all the readers of these
Dialogs, that it wouldn’t happen.
However, let us go now to the expressed concerns. The first concern,
which addressed the issue of insincerity, stems from the
misunderstanding of the context in which it was said. We were talking
about the representatives of the sample of that poll and not about the
entire population. The sample was purposefully chosen, from our side,
without the poll-taking individuals’ knowledge or conscious awareness, to
represent only those in the population who, in their own lives, are prone
to be insincere themselves. This was done for the purpose of comparison
and illustration of how humans approach such important spiritual
issues. It was not meant to be understood as a sweeping generalization
applicable to all. We were concentrating solely only on those in human
life who, on one hand, have the same type of tendencies to be insincere as
they project on someone else and, on the other hand, those who are
willing and able to believe that the person in question was sincere.
Because you, as My true representatives, are not considered to be typical
humans, even though some of you may side with those who thought that
the person in question was insincere, or unwillingly and unwittingly
sided for that moment with the renegades, to you such statements are
not applicable. Your siding, in this case, was used to bring to your
attention the need to recognize the limitation, inadequacy and
inappropriateness of the human judgmental attitude and how the factors
of projections distort things and place them into a totally wrong
perspective. The issue here is to train yourselves to look upon everything
from the position of their internal causes — spiritually, and not from
their externals — non-spiritually, as the majority of humanity does. This
is not discrimination but differentiation.
Therefore, the major and most important issue in that particular case
was to train you, as My true representatives, in looking at and accepting
things of that nature the way I and the members of the positive state do.
Your preoccupation with the need for justice is more congruent with your
former role as agents of My positive state. In that role, it was appropriate
to look at everything from the position of the need to bear the
consequences of any choice, decision, state of mind or behavior. At that
time, the emphasis was on the law of cause and effect or actions and
reactions or choices and consequences. In that setup, justice was
prevailing above everything. And even though many individuals, in your
view, could get away with murder, for example, some crimes of that
nature required a different brand of justice than your human criminal
justice system, or whatever human system, was able to provide. In that
case, justice was done elsewhere, beyond your planet, where more
appropriate means exist to accomplish such a goal. So, as you see from
this example, the human expression that someone can get away with
murder, or whatever, is totally wrong. It tells you very clearly how
limited and narrow the human perspective is. No one has ever been
getting away with anything. It was only a matter of time and place. You
are being asked to dispense with this type of totally inadequate and
wrong human perspective. Once again, this is an issue of training you in
taking a much broader, more realistic and real perspective than that
with which human nature is able to provide you.
You can see from the above description what could happen if some of My
statements, or anyone’s statements, are taken out of context of the entire
topic discussed in the mentioned Dialog and narrowly applied to any
particular individual. Once again, our repeated statement that nothing
should be taken personally in any of these Dialogs, was somewhat
disregarded. Unless otherwise noted, or unless specifically related to you
as My true representatives, whenever we are talking about events in the
negative state and human life on planet Zero, or anything related to their
nature, it is not applicable to you. Remember this. However, if you take it
personally and apply it to yourself, it only means that you still have some
problems related to that portion of your human nature of which you need
to be aware and which you need to get rid of, or, at least, to learn how to
control.
Peter: What about the issue of lack of wisdom in that Dialog and maybe
in all these Dialogs? What happened to the issue of balancing?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Again, this is a misperception and
misunderstanding of relatedness among certain concepts used in our
Dialogs. At the same time, it is indicative of the nature of the currently
ongoing shift. As you noticed, in the process of our dialoging, the shift to
and emphasis on unconditional love, mercy, compassion, empathy,
understanding, acceptance and forgiveness has been prevailing
above everything else. This is not by coincidence. If you are placing the
entirety of the positive state and its membership in the midst of the
negative state and its end product — human life, in order to prevent
them from being eternally and justly condemned for what they unleashed
on the entire Creation, as the wisdom of justice would require, and as the
presence of the positive state itself, by its very nature, would require, you
need to insulate all involved from that to happen.
Of what do you think the insulation factors or their spiritual materials
consist of or are? They are or consist of unconditional love, mercy,
compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance and
forgiveness. Without them, no one could survive in the negative state or
human life. But bear in mind please, that without them no one in the
positive state could survive either for the simple reason that such an
outcome would be inconceivable for anyone in My Creation or to Me
personally. You have to understand very clearly that life in the negative
state and human life, or life in the Zone of Displacement and all its Hells,
is punishment and retribution in itself and by itself.
Do you remember what was so strongly emphasized in the last
paragraph on page 365 of the Forty Second Dialog? That unconditional
love, mercy, compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance
and forgiveness are applicable only after illustrating and
demonstrating all consequences, outcomes, and results of any evil, wrong
or bad deeds. In other words, after everyone bears and experiences all
consequences of such deeds. This statement signifies that only after the
wisdom of just dues being fulfilled, such categories could be applied and
attributed to anyone who is asking for them.
However, because all participants in the negative state and human life
are already in their own hells, and because the punishment and
retribution portion for the activation of the negative state has been going
on for many millennia, during the currently ongoing shift, the emphasis
needs to be switched from the justice and retribution portion of wisdom
to unconditional love, mercy, compassion, empathy,
understanding, acceptance and forgiveness. How else do you expect
Me to eliminate the pseudo-life of the negative state and its human life
in its negative aspects? By totally destroying it — as your understanding
of the concept of wisdom would require? That would equal elimination of
the negative state by the means of the negative state, which would end,
not in the elimination of the negative state, but in its further
establishment and confirmation of its rights to stay forever. Are you at
all able to deduce the unimaginable consequences if such a scenario were
to be taken?
So, the nature of the currently ongoing shift is rooted in the
establishment of a special condition which would place in everyone’s
mind, not the issue of justice, punishment, retribution and just dues,
which have been going on up to this point, but the issue of
unconditional love, mercy, compassion, empathy, understanding,
acceptance and forgiveness. And this is the very wisdom of such a
new setup.
However, if you carefully analyze these concepts, what kinds of
conclusions would you draw from them? How do they relate to My
Absolute Love and Absolute Wisdom with their subsequent application
into the relative conditions?
Mercy, compassion and empathy are of pure love; whereas,
understanding, acceptance and forgiveness are of pure wisdom. This is
the truth of the matter. Because of that, from this understanding, we
have never excluded, or neglected or put on the back burner, so-to-speak,
wisdom and all its attributes. It has always been present and
emphasized whenever we mentioned the words ‘understanding,’
‘acceptance’ and ‘forgiveness’ and similar attributes. Love always works
in cohort with its wisdom; and wisdom always works in cohort with its
love. They are inseparable. It is a matter of which aspects of love and its
wisdom and wisdom and its love are being put into the foreground and
which into the background. From each situation and ongoing shifts, as it
analyzes their nature, wisdom always determines for its love which
aspects need to be put into immediate application or brought to the
obvious and tangible surface.
In order to implement these factors in your life in their practical terms,
your position as My true representatives requires from you to shift your
awareness from and preoccupation with those aspects of wisdom which,
up to this point, emphasized justice, punishment, retribution,
condemnation and rejection, to those which emphasize understanding,
acceptance and forgiveness founded in unconditional love, mercy,
compassion and empathy. When you understand clearly why I permitted
the negative state to come to its adverse fruition in the first place, then
you accept the necessity for such an act. Once you accept this necessity,
you are able to forgive. From this chain of sequences you will be able to
experience the states of My unconditional love, compassion, mercy and
empathy. It was because of My Unconditional Love and Wisdom that I
permitted the experiment of the pseudo-life of the negative state and
human life to take place. It was because of the ultimate choice for the
fullness of the positive state to be chosen and activated by everyone that
all these things transpired. No other purpose for it exists.
So, in view of these facts, it would be wise for all of you who read these
Dialogs to make proper adjustments and changes in the mode of your
thinking, feeling, behaving, acting and relating, as well as in your
attitude toward and in the way you look at and analyze the entirety of
the negative state and human life in general, and your individual lives in
particular. Remember please, what was proper, appropriate, right and
correct up to this point, may not be so at present or tomorrow. As
mentioned previously, you are in a transitional period. The nature of this
particular transitional period is such that it provides you with an
opportunity to be trained in these new modes and manners of life.
During this period you are given a chance to get rid of your various
habits, attachments, dependencies and attitudes that would impede your
spiritual progression and your becoming the fullness of My true
representatives. Clinging to the old modes of thinking, concepts, ideas
and lifestyle, or whatever you have in this respect, which have been an
integral part of your everyday function, is no longer tenable. Not only is
it not tenable but it would place you into the spotlight, becoming very
much visible to the renegades for targeting you and interfering with your
normal and healthy spiritual, mental and physical function in whatever
role, position or choice you are.
As far as the issue of balancing is concerned, as you remember from
Update 20 in the Corollaries..., the energies utilized for balancing the
positive as well as the negative state, respectively, were tilted toward the
pseudo-creators, in helping them to find the right answers to their
existential questions. However, during the ongoing shift, these energies
are no longer required to provide such balancing, or given only to the
pseudo-creators, because it now goes into the total pseudo-winning of the
negative state on planet Zero. In this process, the entirety of the negative
state is seeking the answers for the meaning of its pseudo-being and
pseudo-existence and for the establishment of understanding within its
own sphere about its ultimate purpose and outcome.
Because of this all inclusive expansion, and because of an entirely
different positioning of the positive state and the New Universe, your
energies, as well as the energies of the entirety of the positive state and
the New Universe, are no longer required for balancing out the positive
state on your planet and elsewhere. Instead, they will now go into
providing all members of the negative state, and not only the pseudo-
creators, with the proper answers about its meaning and purpose, as well
as about its ultimate outcome and the needs it served for the entire being
and existence and pseudo-being and pseudo-existence.
The only way you will be able to work with the members of the negative
state in providing them with proper answers, is if you adopt this new role
and position, as My true representatives, rooted in My unconditional
love, mercy, compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance
and forgiveness; thus, as defined above, only if you will be working
from the position of the spiritual unification and integration of love and
wisdom, goodness and truth and positive works and faith.
The wisdom of the current situation on your planet and in the entire
Zone of Displacement requires from you a full-fledged commitment to be
in, to exhibit and to manifest such unconditional love, mercy,
compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance and
forgiveness. At the very moment when you are able to do so, you will
become My true representatives in all aspects of your life.
The concepts of objectivity, righteousness, justice and judgment, which
are other attributes of wisdom and its love and love and its wisdom, have
already been established. They are no longer your concern. They have
already been taken care of. Now is the time for the other aspects of love
and its wisdom and wisdom and its love to be in full manifestation and
application. For that reason you are being asked in all humbleness and
humility to stop being preoccupied with them and, instead, to
concentrate on the acquirement and implementation of My
unconditional love, mercy, compassion, empathy, understanding,
acceptance and forgiveness. By doing that and by being that way, you
will provide proper and truthful answers to all members of the negative
state. By doing that, you will prepare them for conversion to the positive
state. By doing that, you will fulfill your mission for which you agreed to
be incarnated on planet Zero. By doing that, you will become truly wise.
Do I need to say anything more?
Peter: Not for me. I am deeply thankful to You for this elaboration and
explanation. Is there anything else You would like to add today?
The Lord Jesus Christ: You are welcome, Peter. No, not today. I think
all of you have sufficient food for your thoughts. Go, rest and relax for the
rest of today and take care of some other business.
