Peter: From our conversations yesterday and today, it is obvious to me
that the topic which we addressed in the Sixty Eighth Dialog needs to be
further discussed and clarified. Am I right?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, you are right. It is not by
coincidence that your concerns, expressed in that Dialog, have been
intensified at this particular time. The present spiritual situation and
climate are such that they require addressing certain ideas and concepts
that have relevance to the currently ongoing shift. The nature of this
shift requires redefinition of the meaning of some words, concepts and
ideas that traditionally, the way you and everyone else have been
understanding and conceptualizing them, mean and contain something
entirely different than what you are used to.
However, before going into that, let us take up something else first. It
will lead us directly into the presently addressed issue. Take for example,
your statement in the mentioned Dialog that you committed a spiritual
crime by preaching and teaching, in your teens, distortions and falsities
in My Name. If you carefully analyze the spiritual situation and climate
that existed at that time (almost 50 years ago), did you have any
realization at all that any other possible interpretation and
understanding of the Biblical statements existed than that with which
you were presented and which others taught you during those years? You
had no other ideas in your mind. You took it on face value that only one
interpretation and understanding — the literal one — was possible and
feasible. Nothing else was available to you at that time. So, in view of
these facts, what kind of crime were you committing at that time? You
did what you thought was right, proper and truthful. Can you be judged,
adjudicated and condemned for something about which you had
absolutely no idea that it was wrong, distorted or even outrightly false?
It would be a totally different story if you were to fully and completely
identify yourself with those distortions and falsities to such an extent
that they would be internalized by you and that upon your learning that
there is a totally different meaning, or that there are many different
meanings, to all those Biblical statements than what you thought, and
because of your identification with and internalization of the literal sense
only, you would reject them as inappropriate, untrue and false. In that
case, failing to amend your ways and changing your attitude and
understanding, you would condemn yourself to some form of hellish
punishment.
Now, why do I bring this to your attention at this time? First of all, we
need to clarify the issue of condemnation and judgment. If someone
labors under the impression that his/her understanding of something is
right, proper and correct, and if there is no other possibility or
availability of any other ways to understand it or conceptualize it, then
such an individual cannot be judged or condemned for it. However, if
upon presentation of a different, more appropriate understanding of the
same thing offered to him/her and he/she, based on the new available
information, accepts it and consequently rejects his/her previous view
and understanding, then that individual establishes a progressive mode
of his/her life and reflects the reality of the life in the positive state. On
the other hand, should he/she reject this new information and cling to
his/her old mode of understanding and conceptualization, in that case
he/she sets himself/herself up for judgment and condemnation.
However, there is another aspect to this issue. Any current
understanding and conceptualization of any concepts, ideas, words,
lifestyle or whatever you have, provided that nothing else was available
or offered at that particular time, signifies only one thing: That the
currently existing spiritual situation and climate require and are capable
of having only this type of understanding and conceptualization and no
other. Anything more or different, under those kinds of spiritual
conditions, would be incongruent to them. And not only that, but it would
be dangerous to everyone’s spiritual health.
Based on these factors, it is obvious that each particular time in the
history of My Creation and pseudo-creation has its own understanding of
anything at all, congruent to the nature, needs and the level of the
current spiritual awareness that it has. As time goes by, and as different
aspects of My Nature are being conveyed to the rest of all sentient
entities, a different meaning and understanding of the same concepts,
ideas, words or whatever you have, are triggered and placed into their
minds for the purpose of choices that they have to make: Either to
transcend their understanding, conceptualization and, based on them,
their lifestyle, concepts, ideas, words and everything else previously held
by them, or to reject them and keep clinging to the old ones which
outlived their purpose and exhausted their usefulness. If the choice is for
their transcendence, then a new lifestyle is established which reflects the
nature of the positive state in its continuous progressive, onward
movement and mode. However, if the choice is to reject them and instead
to cling to the old ones, then the reaffirmation of the lifestyle of the
negative state and human life occurs, giving them a new surge of energy
and impetus to continue in their stagnant and unproductive nature.
Very often, if not always, the previously held understanding and
conceptualization of concepts, ideas, words or whatever you have,
contradict their incoming new and different understanding and
conceptualization. This is the reason why it was stated so many times in
My New Revelation that what was proper, right and correct yesterday or
before, might not be so today; and what is proper, correct and right today
might not be so tomorrow. A tendency exists on your part to forget this
important statement and reminder and for that reason, you often
question the validity either of that which was stated during the previous
times or of that which is being offered to you at this time. You may see it
as a contradiction instead of as a transcendence of something which was
needed and proper at that time but which is no longer in that position at
this time. Or your interpretation of certain events or phenomena at that
time, which were proper and needed to be understood exactly the way
you interpreted them, have a totally different meaning and
interpretation at this time.
Don’t forget one crucial and important thing in this respect. When you
were in the role of My agents on planet Zero, your understanding and
interpretation of all things, events and phenomena were, in most
instances, from the position of the negative state and your specific
human life, as well as from the level of your own personalized and
individualized needs congruent to that role. As you are being placed in
the midst of the positive state, becoming My true representatives, your
spiritual awareness of all and everything is being shifted to a totally
different level. That level requires triggering of a new, higher, more
appropriate understanding and conceptualization of everything that you
have so far known and understood. Because of that, a different meaning,
more congruent to the current spiritual condition and climate, is being
offered to you and brought to your attention. By this factor, you are being
put in a condition to make an important choice of your life — to
transcend the old meaning and accept the new one or to reject it and
cling to the old one. Either choice will result in its own consequences.
Let Me give you a few examples. At the time when you were writing
Messages from Within, Peter, a certain very rare astronomical
phenomenon was taking place. During that time, that phenomenon
repeated itself three times. Obviously, with such a rare phenomenon
some feasible and understandable interpretation was needed to be made.
As you know, from your prior astrological studies and knowledge, in the
far past that phenomenon was equated with My birth on planet Zero.
This is how the wise men of the East, based on their astrological studies,
determined that an important King was being born. So, naturally, you,
Peter, assumed that because of that important factor, the same
phenomenon occurring at the time of your writing of the mentioned book,
would result in a physical birth of three important people who will be
instrumental in changing human life from its negative connotation to a
positive one.
The spiritual situation on planet Zero and elsewhere at that time was
such that it didn’t allow any other interpretation and understanding of
that phenomenon than what you thought or understood about it. Your
astrological training was somewhat clouded the way you looked at it and
the way you interpreted it. However, this was what was needed at that
time because neither you nor everyone else anywhere was ready to know
more about it or to perceive it at a higher spiritual level. So, because of
that, it was permitted for you, for the time being, to conceptualize that
phenomenon the way it is described in Messages from Within.
However, the presently existing level of your spiritual awareness, as well
as everyone else’s who reads these words, requires a transcendence of
how the discussed phenomenon should be understood and interpreted. At
that time, it was still taken much too literally and not spiritually.
Was anyone and/or anything born during the occurrence of that
phenomenon (the precise, unusual and very rare conjunction of Jupiter
and Saturn which takes place once in several thousand years in that
kind of configuration)? Yes, there were. But not necessarily on planet
Zero. Two events occurred during that time. Three sentient entities were
born in other dimensions whose births were initiated from something
that was going on in My Nature as I was in the final phase of completion
of the acquirement of My New Nature. Because the major catalyst of this
acquirement was My former Human Nature, the nature of the mentioned
three sentient entities was formed in such a manner that it would reflect
the process of changes in My Nature and, at the same time, that it would
reflect the need to set up a very specific condition for the future salvation
of humans on planet Zero and for the future elimination of the negative
state.
Now, in your conceptualization and understanding of that phenomenon,
because, by your intuition, Peter, you correctly perceived that somehow it
had a very important relevance to human life, you concluded that those
beings would be physically born on planet Zero as typical humans; while
the reality of that situation now indicates that the births occurred
somewhere else but with a special important relevance to the human
destiny. Looking at that event from this kind of perspective, was your
understanding and interpretation of it incorrect, Peter? Yes and no. Yes,
it was incorrect because, in actuality, no such physical humans were
born. No, it was correct because someone was born with a direct
relevance to the human destiny. However, the spiritual level of that time
was such that it required some degree of the literal interpretation to
occur because not all spiritual factors were in place that would allow any
other, more appropriate one to be revealed or to have.
However, the most important aspects of this phenomenon were not
reflected in the birth of the mentioned three individuals but in the birth
of three spiritual ideas that were about to be released to the entirety of
My Creation and to the pseudo-creation. These ideas relate directly to
Me and My Nature. After all, even from a typical astrological standpoint,
which you, Peter, correctly rejected from your life, the discussed
phenomenon related somehow directly to Me. Therefore, its major
interpretation and understanding should have relevance only to Me. But
because whatever happens in Me in an absolute sense has, in some way
or other, an impact on everyone and everything else, no matter where or
when, it also produces consequent events in all relatives in their own
relative conditions. So, if some ideas are being born in or being released
from My Absolute Nature, then they always result in the birth of
someone and/or something new that had not been in being and existence
before. Hence, the birth of the three mentioned individuals.
What were the important three ideas that were being born and/or
released at that time? The first idea was that My Nature is in the process
of being changed in an absolute sense, resulting in a totally New Nature
that had not been conceivable at any time before. The second idea was
that, as a result of My New Nature, a new creation is being created that
will fully reflect and contain in its relative condition My Absolutely New
Absolute Nature. And the third idea being revealed was that the
negative state and human life in its negative state are not forever and
that everyone participating in those two forms of life are in them on a
voluntary basis and that therefore, everyone, no matter who, will be
saved and returned to the positive state. The point to realize here is that
no one had known until that time that the negative state was not forever,
and that everyone in it would be saved and returned to the positive state.
The logic of that incorrect perception was in the fact that if the negative
state has to stay forever then, obviously, everyone else, situated in that
pseudo-life, has to stay in it forever likewise.
To make such an important revelation before that time and to tell
everyone about these three ideas, before the actual completion of all
proper spiritual factors, and before My New Nature was established,
would not be feasible or appropriate because no one could understand
what I was talking about. Taking into consideration everyone’s spiritual
state and condition at that time, which derived from My Old Nature,
such revelation would be rejected, thus endangering everyone’s spiritual
life. Before the full understanding and impact of those three ideas could
reach everyone’s mind, those minds needed to be transformed and
brought into full alignment with My New Nature. How could such things
have been done if My New Nature had not yet been fully established?
Only at this time, during the currently ongoing shift, the full revelation
about these facts could be finally revealed and explained.
Let us take another example for the need to have a different
understanding of some words, ideas and concepts as congruent to
different times and spiritual conditions and requirements. Let us discuss
two such concepts — ‘father/mother’ and ‘marriages.’ How do you
conceptualize and understand the word ‘father’ for example? In your
human life, you equate it, first of all, with a typical masculine gender.
You have no other view and understanding than that your father is a
male. Why is it so? And this bring us to the topics discussed in the Sixty
Eighth Dialog. As you remember, in order to activate the negative state,
it was necessary to split feminine from masculine and masculine from
feminine; or, in other words, love from wisdom, wisdom from love; good
from truth and truth from good; and positive works from faith and faith
from positive works. Once this impossible feat was accomplished, based
on that pseudo-principle, human life was fabricated. So, how can you
come to this world, into human life, in order to be able to survive here?
By splitting yourself from your femininity — if you are born as a male; or
from your masculinity — if you are born as a female (of course, by your
own choice and for some of your own important spiritual reasons why you
chose to be born as a male or as a female).
In view of these conditions, you see and perceive your father as a male
and your mother as a female, and yourself personally as a female if you
are a woman or as a male if you are a man. Somehow, during your
physical birth, you split yourself from your own counterpart. Because of
this split, you are unable to conceptualize your gender in any other way.
In My own particular case, because no other possible way existed to enter
human life by the means of the physical birth but only through this split,
I had to split Myself from My Essence, which was of the Absolute
Feminine Nature, and to appear on planet Zero as a Human Male.
Because of that split and separation from My Essence, I had no recourse
but to relate to It as to Someone Who Was separated from Me — which
was the case until that split and separation were eliminated and I, as a
Human Male, was reintegrated, reunited and reconnected to My Essence.
At that time, because of the existing spiritual situation everywhere, I
called that Essence ‘Father.’ But what does the word ‘Father’ in My
conceptualization really mean? The first impression that you all had was
that My Father was a Man, of masculine gender. Because of the
mentioned split and separation, no other perception and understanding
of the word “Father” was available to anyone anywhere. But does the
word ‘Father,’ in its true essence and substance, as well as the word
‘mother,’ in its true essence and substance, really mean or are equated
with the masculine or feminine gender, respectively? From the
observable external position, because to those terms are assigned certain
gender types of characteristics, your expectations and habits in this
respect put you in no other position but to consider them in such terms.
Why would I call My Essence ‘Father,’ from which I split and separated
in order to enter human life, if I took a male form while on planet Zero,
and which Essence is basically equated with the feminine principle?
Because in My conceptualization of the concept ‘Father,’ nothing is
contained related to any specific gender characteristics on one hand and,
on the other hand, at that time, under those spiritual conditions, that
word signified the Absolute Good which takes care of the life of everyone
everywhere and which gives birth to Creation. In other words, I
descended from My Good, or from the goodness of My heart, and I
entered human life in order to establish in humans a condition which
would enable them to be saved from their human life. Thus, I separated
from My Good-Love and brought the Truth to the place where no truth
existed any longer. Because this Truth derives from the masculine
aspects of My Nature, logically, I had to appear as a human male in
order to reflect this condition.
Another reason for this necessary choice was that only Truth is able to
combat evils and falsities. Good-Love does not combat anyone or
anything. It accepts things as they are. If I were to appear as a female,
because such appearance would be from the feminine aspects of My
Nature, I would simply accept things in human life, and in the negative
state in general, as they were, without any attempt to change anything.
In that case, the negative state and human life would have to stay
forever and no possibility would exist for anyone in the positive state to
establish their life in its fullness and completeness.
Thus, in My conceptualization of the word ‘Father,’ its meaning relates to
the factor of parenthood and not to something which is of purely
masculine principle. As you know, the term ‘parenthood’ contains equally
both feminine and masculine principles, or fatherhood and motherhood.
However, in order to accommodate to the then existing spiritual
situation, and to yield to the lifestyle of humans and all others in the
negative state, founded on the split and separation of those two
principles, and because of the familiarity which those two concepts
provided for them, I had no recourse but to speak from that particular
position. If I were to speak in terms that would really reflect their true
and genuine meaning, they would not be able to understand them and,
because of that, they would reject anything I was saying to them. In that
case they would eternally block themselves from being saved. Can you
imagine the consequences of that if this were to be the case?
However, in the process of spiritual development and progression, as one
step, epoch, condition, state and time succeeds another, gradually and
slowly, you upgrade and update the conceptualization and understanding
of all such terms, bringing them closer and closer to their true and
multiple meaning. It is not that much that their meaning wasn’t true
before, as that they had multiple meanings. In the various spiritual
conditions, only those meanings are triggered which are congruent to the
nature and needs of each particular spiritual condition and state.
At this time, during the current spiritual condition, and during the
currently ongoing shift, the new meanings of all such terms are being
triggered and made available to you. One of the most important functions
of these Dialogs, is to explain these facts and give you an opportunity to
familiarize yourself with this new meaning. So, don’t be surprised if
whatever is being conveyed to you in these Dialogs will refute and
replace completely your former understanding and application of all such
terms, concepts, ideas and words. This is an integral part of your
spiritual training, growth and progression in your new role as My true
representatives.
Now, from what I said so far, it is obvious that I and My so-called Father
are not two, or three or more persons, but One and the only One. The
Christian conceptualization of My True Nature, as well as some other
religions, stems from an external observation of the setup of human
lifestyle. It is a form of projection on their part. If human males and
females, and their children, are two or three or several, and if they are
separated and isolated from each other, and if they are distinctly
different individuals, then the nature of God must have the same setup.
In that case, there is a Father-God, in His masculine, He-man
appearance, Mother-God in Her feminine, She-woman appearance, and
possibly there are other gods representing some other aspects of being
and existence. While the fact is that all those so-called gods are various
aspects and characteristics of the same Absolutely One Absolute and the
Only One Individual. Humans improperly derive the understanding of
such concepts from their own false and temporary condition — the
condition of the split and separation from their own masculinity or
femininity, respectively.
And yet, some of you, who have an access to the state of your internals
and thus, to the other dimensions, are sometimes confused to see or hear
someone there who claims to be you in either feminine aspects or
masculine aspects or both. This is a reflection of your separation and
isolation from them which enabled you to enter your human life on
planet Zero. It is as if you left behind your femininity if you are a male or
your masculinity if you are a female. But does it mean that you are two
or more individuals at the same time and not one and the same? Of
course, it does not. After all, your nature, in its original and genuine
state, and in its relative condition, reflects My Absolute Nature which is
One and Indivisible.
Due to the fact of your isolation and separation from the state of your
own integration, unity and oneness, you experience a constant desire to
reunite, reconnect and integrate yourself with your wholeness and
completeness. This desire is reflected in your need to be with someone
who is of the opposite gender. They remind you of your previous state
and condition in which you were before your incarnation on planet Zero.
This is how the concept of marriages came into its own human life.
Noticing the need for this reintegration, reunification and reconnection
with their original nature, the pseudo-creators came up with the
replacement of this need in the form of external types of marriages in
which a male is united to a female and a female to a male. However, even
in this condition, its temporality and transience is obvious from the fact
that it is bound only ‘until death do us part.’ Do you see the true meaning
of such unions from this statement? This is the reason why I said during
My life on planet Zero that in the heavens they neither marry nor are
given into marriages but are as My angels. What is it to be like My
angels? It is to be in the state of unification, integration and oneness of
all feminine and masculine principles in each one individual. In that
sense, you can say in your own familiar-to-you words that they internally
and individually are married within themselves.
However, the word ‘marriage,’ from the position of the nature of the
current spiritual state and development, which transcends any previous
ones, is no longer tenable or suitable to use for the purpose of describing
such unification, integration and oneness. It still gives you the
impression that there are, somewhere out there, two individuals, who
will merge into one individual, and in the process, they will lose their
unique individualities and their unique natures. Such a case is
impossible to envision. It would equal the destruction of both of them,
leading to the impossible scenario of cessation of the unique life which I
Personally imparted on them. To do that, in some sense, would mean
that I relinquished My own life which I placed in those two individuals.
Until now, for the purpose of giving you some comfortable and familiar
grounds in this respect, such terms were proper to use in order to
implant into you some ideas of the concepts of unification, integration
and oneness and what they mean and signify. The word and the state of
‘marriage’ served that purpose well. Therefore, it was permitted to be
used and even required up to this point. This is the reason why it was
also used in the previous books of My New Revelation.
However, these are entirely different times. We are far away from all
other times and we are in a totally different mode and style of life. In
your particular cases, as My true representatives, you are being trained
to approach all spiritual concepts, words, ideas and your life in general in
a way more congruent with the true spiritual positive state’s way.
Therefore, if you hear in your state of inwardness something like,
‘beyond time, beyond space, the promise was made,’ it signifies the
promise of freeing you from the state and condition of your current
separation, isolation and split from your femininity or masculinity,
respectively, and reintegrating, reunifying and reconnecting you in such
a way as it is understood, conceptualized and is, in the positive state; and
the way it is in My Own New Nature.
Well, I believe we should finish for today. There is enough food for
thought for all of you contained in this Dialog and therefore, the
suggestion is to close for now. Go into the sun and have a healing time
for your physical pains, Peter.
Peter: Thank You very much. I’ll take Your timely advice.
