NINETY EIGHTH DIALOGUE
August 26, 1999
Peter: Some readers of Your New Revelation and these Dialogs are
raising a question about the meaning of the term ‘cycle of time.’ They
would like to have some clarification on what this term really means.
You know, whenever I get questions of this nature, I wonder to what
extent anything read in Your New Revelation was registered or retained
in their minds. As far as I remember, this term was discussed in the Big
Book (The New Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ). It was even
pointed out that each cycle of time lasts approximately five quintillion
years, more or less, depending on the spiritual level of its nature, during
which it manifests in its relative condition, the quality of spiritual factors
released by You from Your Absolute Condition, which rule and supply
life to each cycle of time. I wonder, if, in these Dialogs we’ll need to
restate and to reexplain everything which has already been revealed in
Your Big Book or any other books of Your New Revelation. Any comment
on this or any other issue?
The Lord Jesus Christ: If I were you, Peter, I wouldn’t be so frustrated
or disappointed by questions of this nature. Don’t forget one important
fact: If the questions are asked, no matter what kind, and no matter how
many times they were answered, or answers which are already contained
in some or all books of My New Revelation, it only means that we have to
look on these answers from an entirely different perspective. As you
know, each specific time, and in our case, each phase of the ongoing shift,
very often, requires restatement and reevaluation of some terms in order
to bring into focus its different aspect and meaning which was not
available, or timely to have, up to this point. So, if someone is asking for
the explanation of the term ‘cycle of time,’ it only means that it is now
timely to look at its meaning from the position of the currently ongoing
shift and its currently running phase.
The term ‘cycle of time’ can be considered a philosophical construct, and
in conceptualization of human language and understanding, from the
position of the time-space continuum, a physical (in the sense of physics)
construct. In some way you can consider its genesis as the need to
establish an orientation point for any relative mind, which is not
anchored in the Absolute State and Absolute Process, in order to give it
some direction in understanding how and why things flow or are being
conveyed to it the way they are.
What you have to understand, — and this will not be an easy task, — is
that the entire meaning of the term ‘cycle of time’ denotes the nature of
how any form of relationship can be established and accomplished
between the Absolute State and its Absolute Process and the relative
state and its relative process. The issue here is, as mentioned in the
Twenty First Chapter of the Big Book, the state of Creation and the
process of Creation. As you remember from that chapter, the state of
Creation has always been and it will always be. Thus, it has no
beginning or ending. However, the process of Creation occurs, and in
application to the physical multiverse of Creation, it has some kind of
tangible beginning and tangible ending. In the moment Creation occurs,
it becomes relative to the Absolute State.
As you are aware, the life of Creation and its multiverse, is maintained
by life force energies which are being continuously emanated from the
Absolute State — Me. As you also know, the relative Creation and its
multiverse, due to its relative condition, is incapable of containing all and
everything which is contained in the Absolute — Me. And yet, in order to
continue in its progressive mode, Creation needs to be supplied by
everything contained in this Absolute State — Me.
How do you go about providing for Creation and its multiverse
everything that is contained in this Absolute if Creation is incapable of
containing in the totality that Absolute? And here comes the problem
with explaining the multilevel character of being and existence of
Creation and its multiverse. As you know, basically and initially,
Creation proceeded in three levels of its manifestation and establishment
of its life. As you remember, these three levels reflected the nature of the
Absolute, which functioned and discharged Its Absolute Energies from
Its three levels — from the most within spiritual level, or Its Spiritual
Mind; from the intermediate level, or Its Interior Mind; and from the
external level, or Its External Mind. As these Creative Energies of the
Absolute were in the process of their discharge in the outward direction,
they established three distinct and different dimensions — the spiritual
dimension or the spiritual world; the intermediate dimension or the
intermediate world; and the external dimension or external or physical
world.
As you know, in the spiritual world, as well as in the intermediate world,
the time-space phenomenon doesn’t have any objective reality in the
same manner as it has in the physical world. The linearity of the
physical world is determined by its nature which has a straightforward
flow based on the externalization of all occurring phenomena. The term
‘external world’ and the term ‘external’ in itself and by itself denotes this
factor of externalization. Once something becomes external, it perceives
and conceives itself as a linear beginning with a subsequent flow in the
linear direction. From this nature of the external world, you have an
objective experience of time and space. This is the nature of the time-
space continuum. In it everything has a beginning as well as its ending,
which establishes a foundation for a new beginning.
However, the problem, or, to be precise, the non-problem of the spiritual
and intermediate worlds is in the fact that their positioning is such that
it precludes the possibility of objective or external perception and
conception of something that is space-time bound. And yet, because of
their relative condition, in relationship to the Absolute, they need to have
some orientation points that would enable them to perceive and conceive
themselves as being somewhere and somewhen. In their case, this non-
problem is resolved by giving them a subjective sense that they are
somewhere and somewhen. This condition gives them a firm orientation
point from which they can relate to the Absolute State — Me.
As you see from this description, we have established a foundation on
which the answer to the question about the meaning of the term ‘cycle of
time’ could be answered. As mentioned above, the entire issue here was
the need to convey something which is absolute to someone who is
relative. Because it is impossible to convey anything absolute to anything
relative in its absolute content, the subjective time and space for the
inhabitants of the spiritual and intermediate world, and the seemingly
objective time and space for the physical or external world are
established, within which a gradual release of everything contained in
the Absolute State and its Absolute Process is instituted that gives all
inhabitants of all worlds of the multiverse the needed energies and
everything else in order to enable their lives to be lived, and for their
creative functioning. The way you have to understand this issue is that
any life is possible by its spiritual factors. These spiritual factors derive
from My Absolute Spiritual Nature. As you remember, during My life on
planet Zero, I clearly indicated that God was Spirit. In this sense, God —
Me — was the Absolute Spirit. If the determining factor for any life,
including My Absolute Life is always its spiritual nature, then it follows
that everything or everyone else lives, breathes, functions and is, at all,
by these spiritual factors.
So, in order to maintain any life of anyone to eternity, because they are
relative, you need to feed them by the spiritual life which stems from Its
Absolute Spiritual Life. And because you cannot give them everything,
contained in that Absolute Life, at once, you release it in infinitesimally
small steps which are accommodated to the level of perceptive, receptive
and applicable ability of each and every sentient mind.
Once you release from your Absolute State a certain spiritual component
needed for the maintenance of any life, because of its Absolute Nature, it
needs to be broken down into acceptable components accommodated to
the relative condition of the multiverse and all its inhabitants. The
impact of the released spiritual component, which rules the life of each
and every current flow of Creation, is spread out throughout this flow in
such a manner that it continues its influence and function until it is fully
understood, accepted, apprehended, incorporated, internalized,
externalized and manifested in the lives of all sentient entities situated
everywhere and everywhen. In that moment another spiritual component
replaces the previous one so that life of the multiverse could continue
uninterrupted.
In order to exhaust all possibilities, contained in that one spiritual
component, released from the Absolute State to the relative condition,
because of the relativity of the multiverse and because of the relative
flow of the process of the relative life, it takes a lot of subjective, as well
as seemingly objective, time and space to do that. In your terms,
depending on the quality and content of the released spiritual
component, it takes approximately five quintillion years — more or less
— to fulfill the entire purpose for which that spiritual component was
released. The time needed for this fulfillment is called — One Cycle of
Time. This term applies to the life of the entire Creation and its
multiverse. The entire Creation and its multiverse lives by that which
rules its course or which constitutes its very foundation on which it
stands and functions. Thus, Creation and its multiverse proceeds from
one cycle of time to another cycle of time in its own subjective and
seemingly objective flow (in the physical multiverse), during which it
reflects the various aspects of The Absolute Life — Me, in its relative
condition.
This flow, or to use better words, the release of various spiritual
components to My Creation and its multiverse, takes place in progressive
steps. What does it mean — in progressive steps? Initially, symbolically
speaking, — and only symbolically speaking — Creation and its
multiverse, in order to relate, was situated far away in proximity to My
Absolute State, Process and Condition. A different, and more relevant
way of saying this is that Creation and its multiverse, in relationship to
Me and My Absolute State, Process and Condition, was situated in the
state, process and condition of outwardness. From the very onset of the
process of Creation, this state, process and condition of outwardness, in
proximity to My Absolute State, Process and Condition, was positioned in
a far away or the most-remote-from-Me state. The reason for this
positioning was in the fact, that the newly established process of My
Creation and its multiverse, in its symbolical infancy, could not be in
closer proximity to Me, because in its initial relative infantile state, it
would be burned to a cinder by anything coming directly from Me. For
that reason, it was positioned into such a proximity to Me so as to enable
it to be fed by very small and the most external spiritual components
which could sustain its life and its functioning.
And here you have the rule and the law of spiritual progression. Creation
and its multiverse begins from the lowest or, better to say, from the most
outward position in relationship to Me, and then gradually and slowly, at
its own pace, moves closer and closer to Me and to its own state of
inwardness. This movement is ruled by the above mentioned cycles of
time.
As My Creation and its multiverse matures and proceeds on its way to
manifest the spiritual component released from Me, in the process of its
maturation and proceeding, it is readied for the release of another
spiritual component which comes from the more inward area of My
Nature, thus, placing My Creation and its multiverse into a condition
which, in the process of absorption, internalization and utilization of that
component, brings it closer to the state of its own inwardness as well as
to My Own State of Inwardness. Thus, as you see from this description,
each new release of such a spiritual component, heralds the ending of the
current cycle of time, and the beginning of a new cycle of time.
The above description and definition of the term ‘cycle of time’ relates to
its global application as related to the entire Creation and its multiverse.
However, as you know, within My Creation and its multiverse, there are
many universes, galaxies, solar systems, planets, worlds, countries and
individual sentient entities. In this respect you have to distinguish
between the global cycle of time as applicable to My entire Creation and
its multiverse, and the more localized cycle of time applicable to one
universe, or to one galaxy, or to one solar system, or to one planet, or to
one world, or to one country or region, or to one nation, or even to one
individual. They are ruled by the nature of their own cycle of time as well
as by the nature of the global cycle of time. The way you have to
understand this localized cycle of time, is that, as each new spiritual
component is released from My Absolute State and its Absolute Process,
it is redistributed amongst all spiritual, intermediate and physical
worlds and their respective sentient entities. This redistribution follows
the law of titration. A certain portion, or its relevant quality, is taken out
of that one spiritual component, and it is broken down into as many
smaller components as there are universes, galaxies, solar systems,
planets, worlds, countries, societies, nations and individuals, and
imparted on all of them, giving them a surge of a special type of spiritual
energy which enables them to live, to function and to progress along the
line of their own individualized, personalized and unique nature. The
way these smaller spiritual sub-components are imparted on everything
and everyone is that they are being adjusted to the quality, uniqueness,
nature, purpose, goal, position, condition, state and process of each and
every above mentioned entities and sentient individuals.
As each such entity and sentient individual absorbs, accepts,
understands, internalizes, externalizes and utilizes this assigned-to-
it/him/her spiritual sub-component, by the factor of fulfillment of the
purpose for which that sub-component was imparted on them, they all
contribute from the position of their own locality and individuality, to the
fulfillment and closure of the global cycle of time. Within themselves, and
within their own individualized and personalized cycle of time, as well as
within the global cycle of time, at that point in time, they are ready to
transcend their own condition and receive a new aspect from the global
spiritual component which rules any current cycle of time. At that point,
they are in the position to begin a new cycle of their own individualized,
personalized and unique time, ruled by the newly released aspect from
the global spiritual component.
The way you have to understand this function, is that one global
spiritual component, which is released from My Absolute State, Process
and Condition, contains numerous aspects, sub-components and various
other elements that are subsequently redistributed amongst all and
everything. At each particular subjective and objective time, in a
progressive mode, a certain aspect, sub-component and their elements
are released and imparted on all and everything at their own level of
functioning, role, assignment and positioning. When that sub-component,
or aspect or their elements has fully been manifested, internalized,
externalized and utilized, a new aspect or sub-component or their
elements, by the factor of the fulfillment of the previous one, is being
triggered from the global spiritual component and imparted on all and
everything, extending their lives, functions, roles and positioning. In that
moment for them, a new localized cycle of time begins, within the
currently ongoing global cycle of time. The bigger the entity is, such as
an entire universe, for example, the longer the flow of time and non-time
or subjective time is required for the full manifestation and utilization of
the released aspect, sub-component or elements. In this case, its own
localized cycle of time may continue for many millions or even billions of
years (as counted in human temporal terms). The smaller the entity is,
such as for example, a solar system or even a planet, less time is required
for that purpose. And on the individualized and personalized level of
each sentient entity, the time flow is very short in comparison with all
other bigger entities.
At one point in time, within the allotted five quintillion years, or within
one global cycle of time, all sub-components, aspects and elements of that
one spiritual component become fully and completely exhausted as
related to My relative Creation and its multiverse. In other words, all of
them were absorbed, apprehended, internalized, externalized, utilized
and manifested by all involved, at their own localized cycles of time.
When this happens, I am ready to release another spiritual component
from My Absolute Nature, which will be coming from the more inward
level of My Absolute State, Process and Condition. In that moment, the
current cycle of time, as it fulfilled its purpose for which it was
established in the first place, is being closed and a new cycle of time is
coming into its being and existence which will carry this newly released
spiritual component. And this is how My Creation and its multiverse,
and everyone and everything within them, is continuous in its being and
existence and how spiritual progression is assured to eternity.
The situation is somewhat different as far as the fate of the currently
ongoing cycle of time in My Creation and its multiverse is concerned. As
it was stated in The New Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ, the
specificity and unusualness of the current cycle of time is in the fact that
within it you have something that has never been in the previous cycles
of time and that will never be in the future cycles of time — the negative
state in its active mode and its end product — the human life. The
nature of the negative state and human life is such that, because it was
initiated from the position of the relative mind, it doesn’t require as long
a time, or being in its own state and process, as the case is with
something that comes from the Absolute State, Process and Condition.
Therefore, this cycle of time, within which you currently live, will be
considerably shortened as compared with all others. The nature of the
negative state and human life is exhaustible much faster than the nature
of the positive state, which is ruled by the spiritual component coming
directly from Me. This is one of the reasons why in the process of
titration of its pseudo-nature, in all its aspects, sub-components and
elements, all their carriers have a shortened life span as applied to their
own individualized and personalized function, role and position which
they have in the Zone of Displacement and planet Zero. Also, in
relationship to others, who are in the positive state, the spiritual
component that rules their lives is such that it is accommodated to the
requirements of a shorter time or non-time flow than otherwise would be
the case. This is done for the purpose of lightening the burden which you
all have both in the positive state, and in the negative state and human
life, due to the active mode of the pseudo-life of the negative state and
human life. Hence, this cycle of time will not last as long as all the
others.
I hope that this, somewhat extensive explanation, fully answers the
question about the meaning of the term ‘cycle of time.’ Because the
subject of this particular Dialog, Peter, is difficult, perhaps even very
difficult, I would recommend to stop here and not to continue with your
need to clarify certain possible discrepancies in some of our previous
statements, which are on your mind.
Peter: I gladly postpone any of my own inquiries to a more opportune
time. Please, accept my gratitude and appreciation for Your willingness
to put up with our questions.
The Lord Jesus Christ: I can assure you, Peter, and all concerned, that
it is My great pleasure to do so. Go in peace and continue in your good
work for Me and for all My representatives.
