EIGHTY SIXTH DIALOGUE
June 14, 1999, Moscow, Russia
Peter: Well, for two weeks now we haven’t recorded any Dialogs. These
were a very strange and unusual two weeks. Especially the second or the
last week of these two weeks was unusual and unpleasant because of a
sudden illness that I experienced. I wonder if You would like to offer any
comments on anything relating to that which was going on during this
time or on anything else that You feel is appropriate and timely to talk
about at this time?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, you are right, it has been a very
trying, unusual and uncertain time for you personally as well as for
everyone elsewhere who is connected to you either here or in other
dimensions. Many things have been happening of the most significant
nature. These events required a maximum effort on everyone’s part from
all levels of their functioning — spiritual, mental and physical. In the
process of exertion of this effort, most of your spiritual, mental and
physical energies were considerably depleted. As a result, because your
physical body is the weakest and most sensitive part to the depletion of
these life force energies, it succumbed to a temporary illness. Your
personal involvement, Peter, in this process was to an extreme degree on
other levels without your conscious awareness. At the point when the
greatest amount of energies was released by your participation in this
process, you entered into the state of temptation. The external
manifestation of this temptation appeared in the form of a sinus
infection, with high fever, and all symptoms that accompany this type of
infection. For the whole week you were in this state which put you
externally into an inactive mode. This inactive mode was very necessary
because it allowed us to restore all the spent energies which you gave to
the above mentioned effort.
Sometimes, in order to accomplish this goal, it is necessary to permit the
physical illness of your body in order to put it into a state of total rest
and inactivity. In your human life, very often, it is the only way by which
restoration of spiritual and mental energies can be accomplished with a
subsequent buildup of physical energies. Otherwise, you would continue
to be active to the point of total collapse. The problem with this situation
is that when you are working intensely on other levels, spending all your
energies somewhere else and for something that is not of your world, as
well as of your conscious awareness, meaning, you are not aware that
your spiritual and mental energies are being spent at a considerable rate
somewhere else, you don’t feel that your energies are being spent. So, you
continue in your activities without realizing that very little necessary
and needed energies remain to do them. In cases like that, we intervene
by permitting your physical body to get temporarily ill, so that you are
prevented from continuing in any type of activities which could lead to
your collapse, and even, possibly, to physical death.
If you carefully analyze the external events of the past two weeks, you
will notice how many unusual things were happening even at your
planetary level. And you have absolutely no idea how many crucial and
important things were going on at the other levels! Look what happened
in the NATO war against Yugoslavia, for example. Look what kind of
manipulative events followed the cessation of bombing. The Russian
renegades, in cohort with the Serb renegades, by their impulsive,
competitive and one-sided decision to enter Kosovo without any
consideration for the outcome of such a dangerous and foolish move,
brought the entire humanity very close to total destruction. At the same
time, the renegades of Kosovo or Albania, are unwilling to follow the
agreement of all involved to be disarmed which continues to endanger
and hamper the so-called peace process.
All these events are the sole correspondences of the events and
happenings that have been going on at other levels of pseudo-being and
pseudo-existence in the civil war of the pseudo-creators and various
factions of the renegades. Because all your energies have been going on
in support of the pseudo-creators, and because many unimaginable,
confusing, convoluted, manipulative, competitive and unexpected turns
have been occurring in this process, they required a much greater degree
of your involvement than otherwise would be the case. This situation led
to almost total depletion of your energies without your being aware that
such is the case. In order to prevent your possible death, I permitted that
you would enter a state of temptation, which would place your physical
body in a temporary illness until all your spiritual and mental energies
would be recharged and subsequently recharging your physical energies.
Why is it that I am talking about allowing you to enter temptation? The
entire situation is also being utilized for illustration and demonstration
of something spiritually very important and for learning some crucial
and significant lessons. As you remember from the Seventy Second
Dialog, you were clearly warned there that shortly, you will be entering
an unusual and dangerous phase of the currently ongoing shift, which
may put some of you, and perhaps, all of you, into the state of
temptation. One form of this temptation, the third one, among other
things, indicated that you might be tempted by being sick or ill and that
no matter how much you would ask for help to accelerate the process of
healing or getting rid of your unpleasant condition, you would feel that
no help was forthcoming and that therefore, you would have to go
through the entire course of that illness as prescribed by its nature.
So, in essence, we are talking here about two different aspects of this
entire experience. The first aspect relates to your unconscious
involvement in all events that have been and will be happening on other
levels. They all required and will require your personal and individual
spiritual, mental and physical energies. You all agreed to make them
available to those levels. As you know, your participation on that level, in
most instances, happens without your conscious awareness. At the very
same time this situation is being and will be utilized also for learning
some important lessons on the external or outward levels on planet Zero
by the means of your own personal and individualized experiences and
about the nature of temptations. This aspect is and will always be
available to your conscious awareness so that lessons could be learned by
all involved, including you personally.
What are temptations and who or what is the tempter and how and why
does one enter the state of temptation? This is what you need to learn at
this point in time. If you carefully analyze the nature of human life, then
you would have to conclude that one of the major reasons for its pseudo-
being and pseudo-existence, although not the only one, is to be a stage on
which the nature of all types of temptations could be manifested. In this
particular connotation, you can say with a considerable degree of
certainty that whoever agreed or will agree to enter human life,
automatically agreed or will agree to enter the state of continuous
temptation. In this particular sense you can say that human life is
nothing else but a state of temptation.
Why is it so? If you consider all factors under which the negative state
and its end product — human life, came to their adverse fruition, then
you will clearly notice that by its very nature it continuously requires
some kind of reinforcement in order to effectively and successfully
continue in its pseudo-life. How is pseudo-life of the negative state being
sustained? Among other things, by constantly submitting to its followers
and participants something that would be attractive and desirable which
would keep them in the clutches of its pseudo-life. In other words, it is
tempting people to do something which would keep them in the negative
state. And because the negative state is rooted in all evils and falsities, it
tempts people to do something that would be evil and false. If they do
that on a continuous basis, they remain in the negative state. By this
factor, its pseudo-life is preserved as long as they do that. If they were to
stop doing that, the negative state couldn’t survive for too long. This is
the reason why we indicated above that the negative state and its human
life is the state of continuous temptation.
However, there is a certain degree of falsity in this situation. The false
impression is in the fact that for anyone who is being tempted, it appears
as though that temptation is coming from someone or something out
there. However, the reality of this matter is that in order to be effectively
tempted, you need to open yourself up for this temptation to set in. Being
in human life, even I needed to open Myself up to be tempted by the devil
and Satan. Otherwise, I couldn’t be tempted. One point of My need to be
tempted was in the fact that it was the only way to get in direct contact
with the negative state for the purpose of gathering all its experiences.
So, what are these facts telling you? They are telling you that it is you
who set yourself up for any temptation by your intentions, motivations,
thoughts, feelings, attitudes, behaviors, expectations, beliefs or whatever
you have. Any inappropriate content or connotation in any of them,
opens the doors for temptation to enter. However, in human life, because
of its very nature to be in the externals, everything is perceived in this
respect as if any temptation comes from the outside, in this case from the
devil or Satan.
As you remember from the 26th Chapter of The New Revelation of The
Lord Jesus Christ, it was indicated there that the Old Lord’s Prayer, in
order to reflect this factor of externalization, allowed for humans to
perceive that I am the One Who leads them into temptation (‘and lead us
not into temptation’). On the other hand, in order to make things right,
this false perception was corrected in the New Prayer of The Lord Jesus
Christ which indicates that you are the one who leads yourself into
temptation (‘let us not lead ourselves into any temptation’). The reason for
these differences was explained in that chapter. Therefore, I am referring
you to it — if you wish and are interested in refreshing your memory.
The important factor in this respect that needs to be realized is that,
although temptations are coming from someone or something, it is
entirely up to every individual whether they will have any impact on
him/her or whether he/she reacts to them in any manner which would
open the door for them to enter that individual. As you see from these
facts, the keys to the doors to yourself are in your hands. Because you
have the keys, you are, therefore, ultimately responsible whether that
temptation will have any power over you.
Let us take a couple of examples in order to explain this situation. First,
let’s talk about your own personal experience in this respect, Peter.
Although it was necessary to allow this temptation in order to put your
physical body into a state of transient illness for the purpose of
recharging your personal spiritual, mental and physical energies;
nevertheless, that situation was also fully utilized to demonstrate how
you yourself led yourself into the state of that temptation. Do you
remember what it was that preceded your fall into your illness?
Peter: I was pondering and almost torturing myself with uncertainties
about the content of the Apocalypse in the Bible, doubting whether Your
New Revelation in all its aspects is truthful and is really coming from
You or whether it is not me and my foolish arrogance that makes such
unsubstantiated and non-provable claims.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Exactly, Peter. Look what happened here. Last
Monday (June 7, 1999), you continued pondering about the content of the
Apocalypse. Despite the fact that on numerous occasions it was clearly
explained in My New Revelation why it was necessary to utilize the
negative language for description of everything recorded in that book,
and despite the fact that on many occasions you were given explanations
about its content, something was nagging at you about its content and
especially about everything that has been revealed so far regarding its
meaning. On impulse, that particular day, you took the Russian Bible
which Lyudmila has, and in one session reread the entire book from the
first verse of the first chapter to the last verse of Chapter 22. After you
finished its reading you became almost horrified how brutal,
inconsiderate and nasty the content of that book was. At the same time,
you fell into a state of severe doubt and depression about the strong
possibility that your entire explanation of everything contained in My
New Revelation could be false, and because of that, you will face a
horrible punishment and retribution in the manner as the literal sense of
the Apocalypse indicates.
If you carefully analyze the entire situation which took place that day,
you will notice a negative chain reaction, leading from one negative
condition to another one in your mind. After doubting the verity of The
New Revelation, you began to feel guilty about its transmission. After
that you felt guilty about not being able to live up to the expectations of
the principles of My New Revelation. In your personal view, you thought
and felt that you were not practicing and living what you taught and
preached to others. Then you felt embarrassed, guilty and undeserving
for how much effort, money and energies Lyudmila and Victor spend on
you and how they have been taking good care of you, providing you with
everything imaginable and unimaginable to make your life in Moscow,
Russia very comfortable, pleasant, joyous and productive. So, what really
happened here? By your adverse feelings and attitude in this respect,
you, Peter, led yourself into temptation. Thanks to these adverse states
of your mind, you opened the doors for that temptation to enter.
Following that, you started to exhibit all the symptoms of your illness.
So, what do we have here? First of all, this situation proves that human
life, as well as the entirety of the negative state, is a state of continuous
temptation. It means that life in the negative state is nothing else but
temptation. Secondly, in order that any form of temptation has impact on
you, you have to open the doors of your mind yourself so that it could
enter you and cause havoc or whatever within your spiritual, mental
and/or physical system. In other words, you cannot be tempted unless
you lead yourself into it by your own wrong attitude, thoughts, feelings,
emotions, intentions, motivations, behaviors, relationships or whatever
you have. Thus, as mentioned above, no one else can be responsible for
the state of your temptation but only you yourself.
One of the major reasons for permitting such temptations to take place in
your lives, is to give you feedback on the wrongs of your state of mind. If
your lifestyle or the state of your mind and psyche leads you into
temptation then the unpleasantness and suffering resulting from it are
telling you that something is terribly wrong with your life and the way it
is being lived. In this sense, any temptation can also be conceptualized as
giving you an opportunity to amend your ways and to keep your spiritual
and mental doors closed so that in the future you are prevented from
leading yourself into the state of temptation. As you see from this aspect
of the meaning of temptation, anything negative can be utilized for some
positive purpose. When you are constantly feeling that you are in the
state of continuous temptation, when you clearly doubt your own mind,
or whatever, you may begin to think that maybe something is wrong with
your entire lifestyle and attitude. If you arrive at this point, you are
being given an opportunity to make a different choice and to change. And
this is why I permit temptations to take place in the lives of everyone
who lives on planet Zero and in the negative state in general.
Unfortunately, the human mode of life, which naturally tends to
externalize everything, by its very nature, seeks out the reason for its
adverse condition not in the factors of the state and process of everyone’s
internals but in the state of their externals. For that reason, whatever
adversity is happening in their lives, such as for example, illness or
whatever, the source of it is being sought out not in the state of their
mind but in the state of some external phenomena. A good example of
this fact can be found in the way people ascribe to external occurrences
something that in themselves and by themselves they don’t have. Take
for example, humans’ fear of draught. If the window in your room is
opened and the condition outside is somewhat windy, they either rush to
close the window or avoid being in a direct flow of that draught. Why?
Because they believe that by exposing themselves to that draught they
could become ill by a common cold or some other illness. And yet, as you
know so well, Peter, there is not one shred of any spiritual or even
objectively scientific evidence, corroborated by extensive medical
research in the USA, that would confirm this false assumption. However,
because this falsity, as well as numerous others of similar nature, has
been perpetuated for millennia throughout human history, it became
almost encoded in their genes. It makes their belief in such phenomena
irrefutable and non-modifiable. Of course, as you know, in the case of
wind or draught from wind, just the opposite is true: The air movement
throughout the rooms of your house, which occurs by the factor of this
draught, takes out all impurities in them and cleanses the air, making it
healthier. The closed rooms, with the unmovable air in them, becoming
stuffy and unclean, gives much greater opportunity for all kinds of
microbes, germs and viruses, or whatever you have there in such an
abundance, to trigger your illness due to your wrong attitude and false
belief system. As you see from this example, humans ascribe to outside
phenomena, such as for example, to the above mentioned draught,
something that they don’t possess or have. In this case, it is not draught
from a windy day that causes the human body to get ill, but their fear of
draught that makes them so. It is the human mindset which allows this
to happen. In other words, by having this fear and by projecting it into
draught, they lead themselves into temptation, opening the doors for the
negative state to enter them and to cause their adverse condition.
As you see from this example, one of the reasons why human nature was
structured in such a way as to seek out any causative factors to anything
in their conditions, whatever they may be, in the externals or outside
phenomena, is so that humans would have tremendous difficulties in
recognizing the falsity of this setup. If it were too easy for humans to
discover the truth of this matter, the negative state, as far as humans
are concerned, would have very little chance to take hold in their lives. In
that case, humans would rarely, if at all, lead themselves into any
temptation. If this were the case, being that the negative state is the
state of temptation, among many other things, and thus, not being able
to tempt anyone anymore, it would atrophy into nothingness.
For that reason, once humans realize the true source of their problems
and stop seeking out their source in the external phenomena; and once
they realize that they have the key to everything that is going on in their
lives, by accepting the truth of this matter, they will no longer lead
themselves into temptation. By doing that they will eliminate the
negative state from their lives. And this will be one of the many options
by which humans will be led into for the purpose of their ultimate
salvation from their accursed position and nature. I can assure you,
Peter, it won’t be an easy task to accomplish this feat. It will take time, a
lot of time, to change their false belief systems to which they so
desperately cling and into which they place so much hope and effort. But,
one way or another, it will be done and it will be done in the most
appropriate and effective manner. And this is all that I wanted to
contribute today, Peter.
Peter: Thank You very much for this explanation and elaboration. Is
there anything else that You would like to talk about today?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Not today, Peter. If the need arises to convey
something important to you, while you are still in Moscow, Russia, you
will intuitively know that we need to record another Dialog. In the
meantime, have a good time.
