Peter: As of this moment, no questions of multiversal significance have
been received from anyone. However, I would like to ask You, if I may, to
elaborate further on the issue of the differences which may exist between
how Your representatives behave, react, relate and feel about You, the
positive state, the negative state, the human life and their living in this
world, full of misery and suffering, and how the representatives of the
negative state/renegades do. Of course, as always, if You would like to
talk about something else first, before answering my question, I would be
more than happy to yield this time to You.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Of course, you may, Peter. And thank you for
yielding this introductory time to Me. Before answering your question, I
would like to elaborate on something else. As you know so well, the most
important issue in the multiverse is how its members or inhabitants
conceive My Absolute Nature and how they relate to Me, based on that
conception and knowledge. On your planet, before The New Revelation
of The Lord Jesus Christ was granted, there has never been an
appropriate or correct perception, conception, knowledge and
understanding of My true Nature and how humans should relate to Me.
In the majority of the cases on planet Zero, this situation continues
without any change in sight. If it were not for My New Revelation, and if
it were not for you, My representatives, who read, understand, accept
and practice My New Revelation, no form of life or pseudo-life could be
sustained on your planet.
As you see from this statement, it is vitally and crucially important that
someone on your planet has the correct perception, knowledge,
understanding and acceptance of Who I Am, what My true Nature is and
how I relate to all sentient entities. At the same time, parallel to this
factor, and as important as this particular factor is how those of you, who
are My representatives, relate to Me, how you feel about Me, what you
think about Me, how you represent Me and My Nature and how you
behave toward Me.
As you remember from the previous Dialog (109), the factor of
relatedness to anyone, and not only to Me, is determined by your self-
relatedness. This is a fundamentally important issue. If you have no base
or platform from which you can and may relate to anyone but only
yourself, then, in that case, your self-attitude, self-relatedness, self-acceptance,
self-perception, self-feeling, self-thinking and everything else
in this self-whatever, will be the most important factor of your
relationship toward Me and anyone else.
So, in order that life on this planet, in whatever form and condition,
continues unabated so that it may fulfill its purpose for which it was
established or allowed to be fabricated in the first place, it is necessary
that someone on it has the right conception, perception, knowledge,
acceptance, attitude, behavior, thinking, feeling, willing, relatedness and
anything else in this respect, toward Me. Otherwise, no one could survive
here. By the means of My New Revelation, you, My representatives, were
put into this vital and crucial position. In this respect, your responsibility
is great, greater than you can imagine by your human mind.
Now, if this most important, vital and crucial factor is determined by
your self-relatedness, then you have to carefully examine how you relate
toward yourself, how you feel about yourself, what you think about
yourself, what your behavior is toward yourself, and how you relate to
yourself in general. If all these factors of relatedness toward yourself
were to be negative, in that case your relatedness toward Me and
everyone else would be negative likewise. Therefore, you need very
urgently to look into yourself and discover the truth about the ways you
relate to yourself. After all, if I am in you and you are in Me, then any
mode of this self-relatedness applies to how you relate to Me likewise.
And by association and connectedness to everyone else through Me, your
self-relatedness applies to how you relate to everyone else, regardless of
what your outward, external, pretentious behavior might be, or what you
would be saying about it to others.
Let us take, for example, the following hypothetical situation: You are
very angry at yourself; you feel miserable about yourself; you despise
yourself; you feel very inferior about yourself; your self-image, self-
concept, self-perception, your sense of self-worth are very negative and
therefore, self-rejective. Based on these negative self-characteristics,
what do you think your attitude, behavior, feeling, thinking and
relatedness would be toward Me and others? Could it be any other way or
any different than how you feel about yourself? In no way could it! You
would have no recourse but to project such negative behaviors and
attitudes onto Me and others. Such a projection could go so far that you
would ultimately claim that I, as well as all others, am that way. So, it
would be claimed that I, as well as everyone else, am angry, rejective,
inconsiderate, intolerant, impatient and negative in general.
This is how a false, distorted and totally unrealistic perception about Me,
My Absolute Nature, My behavior, My attitude, My relatedness, etc.,
came about in human life and in the negative state in general. In the
reality of this situation, if you are angry at Me, for some reason or other,
it only means that you are angry at yourself, etc.
However, there is another point to this issue. The issue is: How do I
respond or relate to such an angry outburst, or whatever negative
behavior, toward Me? Knowing the source and the reason for such
behavior in an absolute sense, in My Absolute Condition, in relationship
toward Myself, I accept it with the utmost understanding, love and
wisdom. I don’t respond with a similar negative attitude or behavior.
However, the situation is somewhat different as related to the needs of
amendment of such negative self-behaviors on the part of anyone who is
in such a negative self-attitude. At the same time, everyone in My
Creation would like to know how I react in any particular case, of such
negative behavior. Due to the fact that in My Absolute State, Condition
and Process I set up proper examples for any behavior and response in
the positive connotation, and only in the positive connotation, every
sentient entity in the positive state looks toward Me to see how I respond
to it so that they could learn something for their own responses in
situations like that.
So, as everyone else, I have an absolute choice in this matter. I can
choose not to respond at all or to respond in a manner that would give
the one who is behaving in such a negative manner an opportunity to
recognize the true source of his/her need to behave like that, so that the
individual in question could amend his/her behavior. Because of My
Absolute Unconditional Love and Wisdom, I never choose not to respond.
My response in this positive manner can come in many ways, congruent
to the needs of every unique individual and to the availability of
resources and endowments which each individual has from Me. If this
situation occurs with someone who is not My representative, either
overtly or covertly, My response can be only by setting an example of the
appropriate behaviors in this respect by means of My representatives.
The way you have to understand this statement is that My
representatives, by their positive and appropriate self-attitude, by means
of My input into them about it, project into humanity’s universal
consciousness such positive behaviors and attitudes. Even though in
many instances, other humans may not be consciously aware of your
positive self-attitude and self-behavior, nevertheless, it is registered in
their unconscious mind from which they will be able, at an opportune
time, to change their own negative self-behavior and self-attitude and
consequently, their attitude and behavior toward Me and all others as
well.
The situation is entirely different if such negative self-attitude and self-
behavior is found in someone who is supposed to be My representative.
Because of the special and unusual position that any of My
representatives has in the eyes of all in My Creation and pseudo-
creation, their behavior in this respect is watched very carefully by all.
At the same time, My response or reaction toward such behavior and
projections is watched likewise very carefully. Because any type of
behavior of My representatives has a multiversal impact and meaning,
My response to it is very needed and crucial. By what means do I respond
in situations like that? If anything of that nature comes across your desk,
Peter, (symbolically speaking), or if you become aware of such behavior
on the part of anyone who reads, accepts and considers My New
Revelation and who, at the same time, exhibits such negative behavior, I
choose to respond through you, Peter. Because such a response always
has a multiversal significance, setting up examples and patterns of
proper behavior and attitude, it is needed to be conveyed through you,
because it is your role and position to do so by the means of these
Dialogs. As you remember, it was indicated to you before in these
Dialogs, that they are given to all of you, among many other things,
exactly for this purpose. However, if such behavior occurs privately, and
it is not brought to your attention by whatever means and ways, it means
that it doesn’t have this multiversal significance but it is solely between
that individual and Me. In that case, My response is needed to that
individual only and to those in other dimensions who are maintaining
connectedness with the individual in question.
So, in this respect, any time anything of this nature is brought to your
attention, even if it were not meant to come to it, it means that it is not
personal but multiversal. In that case, the individual in question would
have to accept the fact that there is something very important and
needed about the whole situation of that nature and therefore, a
response from Me is needed not only on a personal level, but at an all-
inclusive, multiversal level. The original choice, and not the interim one,
was to have it be manifested in that manner. The only choice the
individual in question has, is that the identity of that individual will
remain concealed from all My other representatives and anyone else
unless, of course, that individual chooses by his/her own freedom of
choice to divulge his/her identity.
Now, any such individual has, at least, two choices. One, he/she can
choose to be hurt by and to sulk about our bringing to everyone’s
attention, by the means of these Dialogs, the issue of such negative
behavior, attitude, relatedness, or whatever he/she has in this respect. In
that case, we’ll fully accept the individual’s need to be hurt and to sulk or
whatever negative response he/she chooses to have. None of us will
judge, condemn, reject or avoid him/her; unless, of course, that individual
chooses himself/herself to reject, condemn, judge and to avoid us. In any
case, we’ll respect that individual’s choice in this matter.
Two, that individual chooses to see things from our, that is, from the
multiversal perspective, as something very important and crucial for the
learning of everyone; as a contributory factor toward the proper
understanding of all aspects of humans’ behavior and how it determines
their attitude and relatedness to Me and to them. In this case, I and
everyone in My Creation, at all levels of its multiverse, would be
immensely thankful, grateful and appreciative to that individual for
becoming a crucial and important means by which this factor could be
brought to everyone’s attention. At the same time, by this positive and
meaningful choice, that individual would be given a great opportunity to
change his/her negative self-attitude, self-relatedness, self-perception,
self-image, self-identity, and self-whatever in this respect, into a positive
one, and consequently, to change it, in a positive manner likewise,
toward Me and everyone else. This second choice would confirm that this
individual is, in fact, My true representative who is willing to learn from
all of this, not only for himself/herself (which would be, to some extent,
selfish), but for the sake of all. And this would be what My true
representative would want and desire anyway.
In some way, you may say that the choices that any individual would
make in this respect, would determine to what extent that individual
really is My true representative; as well as to what extent that individual
truly accepted and incorporated in his/her life the principles of My New
Revelation. Due to the fact that everyone’s acceptance and practice of My
New Revelation is determined by how anyone behaves toward
himself/herself and consequently, toward Me and others, under presently
existing human conditions, the way human life is set up to be and to
function, the only way this most important factor can be determined is if
all My true representatives are exposed, from time to time, to situations
in their own everyday life which would require from them to make such
choices as described above.
How is this situation played out? Because of your human shell or skin,
from time to time, your behavior could be very much humanlike. For
example, you could get angry at yourself, at Me, at others. You could get
so upset that you scream and yell and argue with yourself, with Me or
with others, or all of the above. Following such a negative outburst,
whatever it may be, you could end up either resolving that problem
individually with Me — it would be between Me and you and the
members of your spiritual family and everyone connected to you from the
other dimensions; or, should that type of behavior come to the attention,
by whatever mode, to Peter, it would mean that something in your
behavior and your response, because it inadvertently has come to his
attention, has a deeper meaning and is needed to be resolved or
answered, or whatever is the need in this respect, on a multiversal level.
And here comes the determination of whether your reaction to such a
necessary exposure would be by the means of the first choice or by means
of the second choice — as described above. In other words, as My true
representative, you would, without any hesitation, make the second
choice. If your reaction were to be by the nature of the first choice, the
negative one, it would be indicative of your not yet having become My
true representative. So, in essence, situations like that function as a vital
test of determination of where you are in your own life as far as being or
not yet being My true representatives on planet Zero. From the
standpoint of the needs of the positive state, in cases like that, your
response or reaction, as well as choices in this respect, are no longer
personal only, but they are of multiversal nature. Remember that!
Another brief clarification that needs to be offered to you, is the issue of
understanding of what it is to be Absolute. It was indicated to you in the
previous Dialog (109) that if you treat yourself, others and Me as I treat
Myself, you and all others, such treatment can and may bring you closer
to the understanding of your relative mind what it is like to be Absolute.
When you treat yourself, Me and others only and only in all possible
positive manners, which are of the utmost love, respect, understanding,
acceptance, kindness, gentleness, tenderness, consideration, objectivity,
righteousness, justice, mercy, forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and
sometimes, if needed and when needed, with loving-kind firmness, as
well as with all other positive characteristics of true love and its true
wisdom, then, in your behavior, you reflect Me and My Absolute State.
The dynamics and the processes of My Absolute State are rooted in these
characteristics. In fact, they comprise My Absolute Nature. As you
remember from My previous statements in these Dialogs, they are Me
and I am them. For that reason, in the logical construct of this setup,
anyone who strives to be like that in his/her own life, as related to
himself/herself, Me and others, reflects this Absolute Nature in his/her
relative condition. This reflection brings him/her closer and closer to the
understanding of what it is to be Absolute. The less and less such
positive characteristics are contained in one’s self-behavior, in behavior
toward Me and in behavior toward others, the less and less
understanding one has or is able to acquire about who I am, what My
true Nature is all about and what it is like to be Absolute. In that case,
one gets more and more remote from being with Me or in My presence.
At the same time, because of such negative self-behavior, not giving
himself/herself an opportunity to know Me and others better, one loses a
true perspective of who one is and what his/her true nature is likewise.
So, as you see from the described situation, your self-knowledge, self-
concept, self-identity and everything else related to them is tied in
directly with your knowledge and acceptance of who I am and what My
true Nature is. Thus, the more you know Me, the more you’ll know
yourself and others. And vice versa: The more you know yourself, the
more you’ll know Me and others. In The New Revelation of The Lord
Jesus Christ it was clearly indicated to you that the most important
knowledge of all is the proper knowledge of yourself, the reason being
that the true knowledge of Me is contingent on the knowledge of yourself
and vice versa: Only the true knowledge of Me and My Nature can and
may lead you to the discovery of your true self or your true identity the
way you are behind the scene and not as at or on the human scene.
In response to your question, Peter, it is obvious that the fundamental
differences between someone who loves the negative state and considers
it to be the same as the positive state, and My true representatives, is
that whereas the lovers of the negative state don’t possess a proper
knowledge of themselves and, most importantly of Me, My true Nature
and anyone else’s nature, My true representatives do so. Moreover, My
true representatives recognize the true nature of the negative state, of
human life and their position. Yes, from their position of being in and
functioning from the midst of the positive state, while by their bodies
they live in the negative state or human life, they can be as happy, as
comfortable, as joyous and as delightful and everything else, as the
lovers of the negative state are. But they never ever consider the
negative state as being the same as the positive state. Whenever they
descend (symbolically speaking) into their bodily functions and the
human aspects of their nature, they feel the pressures, the negativity,
the inappropriateness, the evilness and everything else so much inherent
in the negative state and in their human life. However, from the position
of their positive nature, which they have from Me, they are able, in most
instances, to cope efficiently with all turmoil and tribulations of their
human life without succumbing to it and without being taken over by it.
The lovers of the negative state don’t experience such feelings. After all,
they are comfortable being in human life. This is one of the signs of how
you can distinguish between someone who is a lover of the negative state,
thus, being its true and genuine representative and someone who is not.
By the means of these Dialogs, you have been given a tremendous tool to
know all these things and to cope with everything in your life in the most
efficient and successful manner. All you have to do is to accept,
incorporate and internalize all this knowledge into your life and to
consider it as a beacon which shows you the right way by which you can
travel the road of your life. Take it and travel with it! And this is all for
now, Peter. Go and rest and have a nice day.
Peter: Thank You so much for these encouraging words and ideas.
