SEVENTY FIFTH DIALOGUE

April 30, 1999

Peter: Yesterday, after I finished recording the Seventy Fourth Dialog, I received a letter from a man, unknown to me, in Slovakia, who brought to my attention a possible contradiction or inconsistency in The New Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ. He is asking for an explanation of the following contradiction: In the Introduction of that book, it is stated that, “The Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ does not contain any inclination whatsoever to command, to force, to impose, to order or to intimidate anything on anyone.” However, in Chapter Two of that book, on page 37 (English version, Second Printing), You stated, regarding the change in the wording of Your prayer, “By the authority and order of The Lord Jesus Christ... .” Would You like to make any comments about this discrepancy?

The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, I would gladly make a comment on this seeming problem or contradiction. Look at it in what connotation both statements were made. In the Introduction we were setting up a condition under which the reading of My New Revelation should be undertaken. It had a general connotation related to all who would be in a position to read My New Revelation. Under no condition should such reading be considered as binding, impositional, demanding, threatening, judgmental, condemning and forcing one to change anything contrary to his/her own free will and choice. That statement talks directly to people who read our book, spelling out to them how its content should be considered. It does not relate to the words of that book itself.

On the other hand, the statement on page 37 relates to the need to change the wording of what had been known until that time as The Lord’s Prayer. Who is the author of the words contained in that prayer? I am the author. If, for example, you had written a book and it was subsequently published in its first edition, and a few years later, when you were considering issuing a second edition, you faced the need to change certain words or wording, maybe even delete or add something, etc. Who has the authority over any change in your book? You have that authority, and from the position of your own authority you give an order to your editor and publisher to change the wording in some places of your book. Your order concerns only and only the content or wording of that book. In no way are you ordering or commanding your publisher and editor to change their own mode of life, or the way they behave, talk, dress or live their lives in general, or the way they relate to your book in general. So, your command or order is issued and relates, in fact, only to yourself as the author of your book. It has no relevance to anyone else as far as their own behavior and lifestyle are concerned. This is the way you have to understand and to interpret the mentioned seeming contradiction. Your response to the author of the mentioned Slovak letter was a correct one.

Peter: Thank You very much for Your explanation and corroboration. The same day I received an E-mail from Slovakia, asking about the philosophy and meaning of the New Age movement. Any comment on that?

The Lord Jesus Christ: Well, throughout the books of My New Revelation, many things were said and explained about that movement. For example, your article, Peter, contained in the Corollaries..., about “A Course in Miracles” which is considered to be a pinnacle of the New Age movement, is a good illustration and explanation of some aspects of that movement and its spiritual danger for those who accept and follow its teachings.

As was mentioned in one of the previous Dialogs, you can consider this movement as a reaction to and a rebellion against the dogmatic, rigid and restrictive ideologies of traditional Christianity and Islam, for example. Also as a rebellion against the danger posed by the nuclear age; against the environmental abuses, misuses and disasters; against the use of all kinds of artificial enhancements in food processing, in growing of plants and in animal feed, and in similar matters. In general, it is a rebellion against the old lifestyle, the way people lived their lives and the way they treated each other and especially their environment.

In their philosophical pursuit, the New Age movement turned its face toward something which was either unavailable, or was restricted, or judged inappropriate for Western culture. The novelty and the mystery of something unknown or inaccessible up to a certain point, fascinated the members and founders of that movement. Because up to that point, the only well-known philosophy and religion accessible for them was of Western-type and Christianity, they basically turned away from it, and looked toward Eastern Mystical teachings contained, for example, in Buddhism, Hinduism, and some other Eastern religions and so-called spiritual teachings. So, in essence, their philosophy derives from these types of teachings adopted and tailored to the needs of a typical Western man/woman.

As you know, replacement of the Christian and Western philosophy with the Eastern one, does not change too much in matters of spiritual truth and how it is conceived, perceived, understood and practiced. They are dogmatic, ritualistic and literal. Because of that, they are all superficial, external, and spiritually blind. In their philosophy, they all contain nothing but distortions and falsities.

So, what has been accomplished so far by the New Age movement? It replaced one dogmatic, ritualistic and externalized approach with another one. And not only that but, in some ways, even more so than before, it turned away from the true inner spiritual factors to ritualistic, external factors. It placed all values, purpose and meaning of life into something that has no meaning, value and purpose in itself and by itself. An example of this is the use of very specific, so-called organic foods and diets, the use of colors, the use of aromas, the use of certain types of fragrances, magnets, herbs, minerals and many other similar means which have no spiritual impact on anyone or anything but which only pleases the pockets of their manufacturers. They improperly assign to these products something that they don’t contain — healing from all ills of the negative state without recognizing that the negative state even exists.

As you remember from The New Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ, it was indicated there that one of the major aspects of the New Age philosophy is its emphasis on love without wisdom. The danger of this approach is obvious: Love without wisdom is blind. It is unable to see the true roots of human problems and the nature of the negative state. Because of that, New Age followers have a tendency to deny that such a thing as the negative state with all its Hells exists at all.

In one of the previous Dialogs, we have already extensively discussed the use of non-traditional medical approaches by the New Age people. It is not necessary to repeat it here again. Therefore, I am referring the Slovak inquirer to that particular Dialog to refresh his memory.

In your particular case, as My true representatives, you are strongly advised not to be preoccupied with anything related to the New Age movement and not to buy into its spiritually dangerous philosophy. Of course, as always, it is up to your own free will and choice to follow or not to follow this advice. In one of the previous Dialogs it has already been explained why it is dangerous and especially why it is tremendously dangerous to mix the ideas of My New Revelation with the ideas and practices of the New Age movement. Again, I am referring everyone to that particular Dialog.

Peter: Thank You for this timely reminder. It always amazes me why it is that even our own people, those who read and practice Your New Revelation, are preoccupied so much with these types of movements. It would seem very obvious to me that, after reading Your New Revelation several times, one should be able to have all necessary answers to these types of questions and to clearly see how useless and spiritually dangerous such movements are. What is the matter with our people that not only are they preoccupied with these movements, but, some of them, even practice their methods and sell their products?

The Lord Jesus Christ: Well, Peter, don’t forget that those movements, or what they promise and contain in their philosophy, can be very charming and attractive. Also, in many instances, by using their products, one could begin to feel physically invigorated, stronger and healthier. This is how the trap of the negative state is set. As you like to say it, Peter, although the negative state is insane, it is not stupid. How does it operate, in order to attract people to its side and subsequently trap them into its clutches? By making things in their properties effective, charming, beautiful, attractive and pleasurable. Otherwise, no one would buy into their claims.

As you clearly remember, in order for the negative state to be effective in its function and illustration, it requires being loved. Someone has to love it so that it can live, flourish and spread. If the negative state would appear to its followers the way it is portrayed by the Catholic Church, for example, as a very ugly, mean, gruesome, repulsive, despicable and murderous demonic face, no one would ever be attracted to its cause. The cunning of the negative state is not in being that way, but in being just the opposite. Its nature was formed in such a manner so that it would be very easy and comfortable to accept all its claims. Otherwise, it would have no way of surviving and manifesting its true nature. Do you think that Satan or the devil looks like he is being portrayed by all those numerous artists, book authors and movie producers on your planet? Absolutely not! To his followers, in fact, he looks like one of the most beautiful persons you could have ever imagined or experienced. Of course, we are talking here about the looks of the pseudo-creators who were called by such names as Satan and the devil.

What you have to understand in this respect is that the inward spiritual state of the so-called Satan or the devil is really as it is being portrayed on your planet in your artwork, movies, books and television programs. However, outwardly, it is an entirely different story. Why do you think one of the most important factors of the negative state’s life, on which it stands and falls, is turning everything to and judging everything by external appearances and not by their internal states, dispositions and conditions? Exactly for that reason — so that it could be accepted and loved. Otherwise, it would have no recourse but to fail miserably in its effort to establish and to manifest its pseudo-life.

This fact is another example of the genesis of the negative state. As you know, in order to activate the negative state, it was necessary to violate and break the fundamental rule, principle and law on which My Creation is founded — the state of inwardness is the originating point from which everything else proceeds and becomes its own process. Because of this rule, it is the state of internals and what it contains or how it looks, in its true nature, that counts.

However, under this rule it would be impossible to activate the negative state in any of its aspects. So, in order to conceal what would happen if the negative state were to be activated or how its internal state would look, it was necessary to close off the ability of all participants in its life to see, to discern, to consider and to understand the state of the internals. If the true value of the positive state could be found only in the state of internals, and from it in all its other derivatives, situated in the externals or in between, then, obviously, the true value of the negative state had to be placed in the externals and from that position also in all its derivatives. If you close off the way to the internals, you have no choice in the matter but, first of all, to deny that anything of the inner or internal nature even exists and, secondly, you would derive everything from and place all your hopes, knowledge, understanding, or whatever you have, in the only thing you consider to be real — the externals or the outsides or in what you see, hear, sense, smell and touch with your external physical sensory organs. All else would be intangible for you.

So, you make everything in the negative state look outwardly beautiful, attractive, delightful and pleasing to all your senses. That way you would develop a tendency to admire everything presented to your senses. And not only that but you would ascribe all that as being My Creation, considering Me the Originator of all that. Under this condition, it would never occur to you even remotely, that what is presented to you, in actuality, has no part in and of the positive state and thus, of and in Me. This is especially true if all those things are presented to you in My Name. How could you doubt it? Or how could you refuse to accept the reality of all of that which is presented to your senses under My Name? This is how the negative state was able to seduce and trap many into its pseudo-life. By this setup, the negative state put its followers into a firm and unmovable position to see things only at and on the scene without ever knowing that the true reality of everything is behind the scene.

Having this proper knowledge and understanding about how the negative state operates, as well as having all other proper and correct knowledge and understanding about its nature and its genesis, you, as My true representatives, are being put into a position of clearly seeing through all its offerings, seductions and promises. This fact gives you the ability to see things behind the scene and disregard what is going on at the scene. By doing that, by training yourself to perceive everything from this proper perspective, you will be able to defy the negative state’s influence on you and you will no longer be attracted to and preoccupied with all its movements, such as for example, its New Age movement.

Peter: Thank You very much for this elaboration. Dr. Ardyth Norem is asking the following question: In response to the negative state’s misery and its present condition, how are You and the beings of the positive state experiencing and responding to the present circumstance? Furthermore, as Your true representatives, is it appropriate for us to experience this deep sadness, given our shared task of manifesting Your Nature and the positive state in this time and place?

The Lord Jesus Christ: The answer to this question should be obvious from our previous discussion about the nature of the positive state and My Nature. As you remember, not a long time ago, you were informed by Me that during the presently ongoing shift, a certain repositioning of attributes of My Absolute Unconditional Love and Absolute Wisdom, and subsequently, their application in the lives of the members of the positive state, has taken place. At the present time, the entire emphasis is on those aspects which were designated as mercy, compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness.

What are these attributes telling you? Our position, thoughts, feelings or whatever we have in this respect, in regard to all atrocities, abominations, pain, suffering and all else in the life of the negative state and in human life on planet Zero, is determined by the above mentioned attributes. Look at it this way: If we have a full understanding of why things have to be the way they are and the way they have been happening and will be happening in the negative state and in human life, then we are able to fully and completely accept the necessity for all that to unfold and be manifested. If you know, first of all, the reasons for all of that, and secondly, if you are cognizant about the voluntary, temporary and transient status of all who participate in the life of the negative state and human life, and of all their miseries, pain and suffering, then our attitude, in this respect, is influenced by our total compassion, empathy, mercy and forgiveness. After all, it was by everyone’s free will and choice to enter that type of pseudo-life. No one was forced or compelled into anything.

If you take into consideration the fact that everyone who initially volunteered to activate and subsequently, to participate in the pseudo- life of the negative state and in a typical human life, did so with great delight, pleasure and elation, knowing that by doing that they would contribute immensely to the cache of knowledge about any other life other than the life of the positive state, and that their negative experiences would be instrumental in the final choice-making effort and decision for the purpose of activation of the fullness and completeness of life in the positive state, then it would be totally and completely superfluous, unproductive and futile to be or feel sad about anything that is going on in the pseudo-life of the negative state and human life. On our part, that would be a waste of precious energy that has to go somewhere else — to some more important causes.

The problem with your view is that you look at everything happening around you from the position of your externals, the way everything appears to be and not the way it really is. Again, the issue of watching things as they are being played out on the scene and not what really is happening and why it is happening behind the scene, is being raised here. In your position, being that you are still in the human skin, it is not that easy to disregard the external perception of and based on it, the external reaction to everything which is going on around you. The human portion of your nature, because it is its integral structure to perceive and to react like that, has no recourse but to feel the pain and misery of suffering that constantly accompanies human life and life of the negative state. However, in the higher sense, or behind the scene, it is all only an illusion. On the spiritual level of every participant in that type of pseudo- life, the situation is entirely different. The pain, misery, suffering, and everything else, so integral to the nature of the negative state, is felt and manifested only in the externals. In the internals, on the spiritual level, because of the proper understanding and, based on it, subsequent acceptance of the necessity to go through all of that, such adverse experiences are not perceived as pain, misery and suffering but as the process of learning, illustration, demonstration and manifestation of how not to be, how not to feel, how not to behave and how not to live one’s life in general. This factor is one of the most important ones in setting up the foundation for salvation of all who have been and will be the participants in this pseudo-life.

Because, as My representatives, and not as typical humans, you have the knowledge and understanding of all these factors revealed to you in My New Revelation, and because you are to reflect the attitude and lifestyle of the positive state and My Attitude in your relative condition, you are asked to train yourself to dispense with such emotions as sadness over everything that you see and experience in human life. Such emotions would not be helpful to you or to anyone toward whom that sadness is directed. After all, sadness is a negative emotion. Logically speaking, by being sad, you are supporting the negative state. Instead, replace your sadness, and similar emotions, with mercy, compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness. By doing that, you will manifest the life of My Positive State and My Life in the midst of the negative state and human life. And this is exactly what you are here for — to manifest that.

Peter: Thank You very much for these nice words. Is there anything else today?

The Lord Jesus Christ: You are welcome, Peter. No, nothing more today. Go and take care of some other important business. Have a nice day.
