ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH DIALOGUE
October 10, 1999
Peter: During my early morning meditative walk, it became obvious to
me that You would like to continue in our discussion about the issues
which were raised in the One Hundred and Thirteenth Dialog.
Personally, I felt as if something was not completed about the issues in
question. So, I would like to humbly ask You if You would like to
continue in our discussion of the topic raised in the previous Dialog.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, you are right. We need to continue
with the mentioned discussion. And I thank you for making yourself
available to do that this Sunday morning.
There are basically two aspects that we need to touch upon. One of those
aspects relates to the spiritual-philosophical placement of the discussed
attributes, the way they fit into the totality of My Absolute Nature as
well as into the totality of your relative nature. As you remember, in that
Dialog we raised the issue of the importance of the mentioned attributes
as related to My behavior toward Myself and others and to your behavior
toward yourself and others. They were, in addition to all others:
kindness, tolerance, respect and appreciation.
The other aspect relates to inter- and intra-relationships which take
place amongst all of you, the way you relate toward Me, toward yourself
and toward each other. Let us begin with the first aspect, and following
that we’ll touch upon the other aspect.
If you look at the true meaning of the discussed attributes, the way their
nature is and how they fit into the totality of My Absolute Nature and
your own nature, then you will come to the conclusion that they
integrally relate to the two major components of which not only My
Absolute Nature consists but the nature of all sentient entities as well.
As you know, these two components are: My Absolute Femininity and My
Absolute Masculinity. In a broader and higher sense, you can
conceptualize My Absolute Femininity as of My Absolute Divine Love
and Divine Good, and My Absolute Masculinity as of My Absolute
Wisdom and Absolute Truth.
So, if you apply the discussed attributes to these components, then you
can come to the right conclusion that kindness and appreciation are of
My Absolute Divine Love and Divine Good and of My Absolute Divine
Femininity; and tolerance and respect are of My Absolute Divine
Wisdom and Divine Truth and of My Absolute Divine Masculinity. In
applying these attributes to your own individualities and personalities,
they likewise are related to your own femininity and masculinity and to
the type of your own love, good, wisdom and truth by which your ‘I am” is
structured.
If you are filled with true love, good, wisdom and truth, which derive
from and are imparted upon you from My Absolute Divine Love, Good,
Wisdom and Truth, then, in that case, you naturally will possess and
exhibit in your everyday life, function, attitude, thoughts, feelings, will
and behavior nothing else but kindness, tolerance, respect and
appreciation, as well as all other attributes of the purely positive nature
(objectivity, righteousness, justice, judgment, mercy, forgiveness,
compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance and all other positive
traits and characteristics which derive from and are of My Absolute
Absolutely Positive Nature).
So, what does happen if you find yourself in a situation or in a
relationship which produces within you uneasy, uncomfortable,
intolerable, disrespectful, unkind and unappreciative feelings, forcing
you to avoid people causing you to feel like that? Obviously, in that case
you are not functioning from Me in you but from that aspect of your
endowment which didn’t come from My Positive Nature. In other words,
in this case, you function from the position of your typical human nature
or from the position of the negative state. After all, don’t ever forget that
such feelings as unkindness, intolerance, disrespect and
unappreciativeness were invented by and placed into the sentient mind
by the activators of the negative state. Because these types of negative
attributes don’t exist at all within the life of the positive state, if you
have them, then you are under the influence of the negative state. I know
that this is a very unpleasant statement for you. After all, being in
human life, from time to time, you all experience and exhibit within
yourself such negative emotions, states and conditions. So, the logical
conclusion from this is that whenever you feel them or exhibit them, you
are inevitably under the influence of the negative state.
As you see from this statement, it is not easy at all to be in the human
skin. The human portion of your nature was purposefully structured in
such a way so as to make you unkind, intolerable, unappreciative and
disrespectful, as well as everything else which is the opposite of the
above mentioned traits and characteristics of the positive state. One of
the major reasons why human nature was structured that way, was to
eradicate the concept of individuality, uniqueness and infinite
differences. Because each and every one of you, no matter where and
when in Creation, pseudo-creation or planet Zero, are infinitely unique
and different individuals before Me as the One and The Only Absolute
Individual, in order to defy this structure of the positive state, it was
necessary to develop, establish and implement something which would
make people uneasy, uncomfortable, intolerant, unkind, disrespectful,
unappreciative, hateful and spiteful of each other and their unique
individualities. Because you are different than someone else is, your
obvious difference from them becomes a sufficient foundation for
rejecting them, hating them, despising them, avoiding them, not wanting
to do anything with them, being intolerant of them, being unkind toward
them, being unappreciative of them, being disrespectful toward their own
individuality and being everything else which gives you enough
justification and rationalization for your negative behavior, attitude and
relationship toward them and their differences.
And this brings us to the second aspect of our discussion. In relationship
toward others, the way you think, feel, act, behave and consider all
others, you have to take into consideration the factor that any
relatedness is always a two-way street. What do we mean by this
statement? Consider this fact: In someone’s company you feel uneasy,
uncomfortable, miserable and you do everything in your power to avoid
the company of such people, by refusing to communicate with them, etc.
In other words, no matter what you think, by such an attitude you are
being unkind toward, intolerant, disrespectful and unappreciative of
such an individual. However, has it ever occurred to you how someone
else feels about you, about how you are, what kind of person you are, how
you behave, feel, talk, relate, walk or whatever?
So, as you see from this fact, it is not only how you feel about someone
else but it is also how someone else feels about you. Have you ever
questioned yourself in this respect why some people might be avoiding
you, feeling uncomfortable and uneasy in your company and about the
way you are, the way you talk, behave, act or whatever? Think about it,
examine yourself in this respect and ask yourself what it is in you, in
your attitude and behavior that turns some people off. From the position
of being a typical human, your tendency would naturally be inclined
toward finding fault in someone else and not in yourself or the way you
are or behave. It is much easier to see the problems in other individuals,
the problems which turn you off, rather than to see, at the same time,
the problems in yourself which may very well turn some other
individuals off. In their opinion it is you who is unkind, intolerant,
disrespectful and unappreciative and not them.
The problem with this situation is that it is impossible for you to step out
of yourself and watch or observe yourself, or your own behavior, attitude,
actions or whatever you do. You see only how other individuals behave,
act, relate or are. For that reason, your tendency would be to justify and
rationalize your behavior and the way you are, disregarding the fact that
it could be you or your individuality and differences that also induces
into other people the need to avoid you, to reject you, not wanting to have
anything to do with you, to be unkind to you, to be disrespectful of you, to
be intolerant of you, to be unappreciative of you, etc. And then you
wonder why some people, whom you even love and feel very close to, are
avoiding you, not returning your phone calls, or not responding to your
letters, etc.
What is the real issue here? The reason we are discussing this issue is
that, as My true representatives, you need to learn not only to look at
others, but, most importantly and in the first place, to look upon yourself
in order to determine what it is in you that may turn some people off. As
you know, you cannot change other people. The only one you can change
is you. By changing yourself in this respect, you are giving an example to
others how to change. At the same time, by changing yourself, you are
giving the opportunity to others, whom you turned off previously, to
change their attitude toward you. My true representative, by the nature
of being My true representative, will first always seek out if something in
him/her still exists that makes it impossible for other individuals to
relate to him/her in a purely positive, loving, kind, respectful, tolerant
and appreciative manner. Instead of trying to determine what it is in
others that makes this impossible to happen, he/she will turn his/her
attention upon himself/herself and will rectify the situation at his/her
end without waiting for someone else to change or to do this self-
exploration first.
We have entered the phase of this shift, heralded by Manfred’s arrival to
Santa Barbara, which crucially and importantly requires from all and
everyone, who accepted the role of being My true representative, to
reexamine their own behavior, attitude, feelings, thoughts and
everything else regarding how they relate toward others, themselves and
ultimately toward Me. As you remember so well, and we are repeating
this again and again, you cannot relate in a loving, kind, respectful,
appreciative, tolerant and positive way in general toward Me if you don’t
relate the same way toward others and yourself. We are all
interconnected in this respect. Because of that you have to learn very fast
to tolerate, respect, appreciate and to be kind toward your own
uniqueness, individuality and difference, as well as in an equal measure
toward other uniquenesses, individualities and differences and, in an
ultimate sense, toward My Absolute Uniqueness, Individuality and
Difference. This is your most important common denominator. As you see
from this fact, your most common denominator, besides what was said
about it before, is your infinitely diverse uniquenesses, individualities
and differences. In that you are all absolutely equal. And in that, in your
relative condition, you approximate My Absolute Nature which is
Absolutely Unique, Absolutely Individual and Absolutely Different,
transcending all and everything.
So, in order that a condition is set up on planet Zero for it to become
planet Positive Number, or in order for the Zone of Displacement to
become the Zone of Placement, it is necessary to establish a different
foundation on which any type of relationship of its inhabitants could be
formed. If it is ever to become of the purely positive nature, the way it
was supposed to be in the first place, it would be necessary for all its
inhabitants to learn to relate to each other in the manner as it is in the
positive state. Based on what has been said above, such a relationship
needs to be formed from the position of one infinitely unique and
different individual to another infinitely unique and different individual.
No matter how different each individual is, as compared to your own
individuality and difference, that individual reflects that aspect of My
unique and different element or particle, which doesn’t exist in anyone or
anything else. Because of that it is very vital and crucial that you learn
to respect, to appreciate, to be tolerant and to be kind toward every such
individual no matter how he/she appears to you or no matter how
remote, unacceptable, intolerable or incomprehensible his/her behaviors,
actions, attitudes, or whatever are. Your role, as My true representative,
in this respect is to establish in your own life, and in all aspects of your
relatedness toward others, this type of positive behavior, attitude and
lifestyle. By doing that, you are preparing this planet, as well as the Zone
of Displacement, to get rid of its accursed position.
On the human side of your life, as well as in the negative state in
general, the situation is somewhat different. In order to undermine or
circumvent your ability of becoming kind, tolerant, respectful and
appreciative of others, as well as of being able to accept others the way
they are in their own unique individuality and difference, without
expecting anything different or more congruent with your own image of
how they should be or behave, the negative state came up with different
tactics in this respect. As you know, all their attempts to eradicate
individuality, uniqueness and difference, and establish instead
commonalities, uniformity and sameness, were thwarted by the factor of
the principles and laws under which any sentient life could be created or
fabricated, respectively. Because such life could be established only on
the basis of freedom of choice and ability to choose and to change, and
because in that ability and condition of everyone is My unique, different
and individual presence, by the factor of that presence of Mine, being
that I am infinitely Individual, Unique and Different, no matter what
you do, no matter how much you would try to manipulate any spiritual,
mental, genetic, physical, or whatever factors, each such individual
would come out as infinitely unique, different and individual in his/her
own right.
However, although you cannot eradicate this important factor and
condition of life, nevertheless, you are able to alter the mode of behavior,
personality traits and characteristics by which you will establish your
own brand of unique, different and individualistic behavior patterns by
which you’ll relate to other individuals. So, knowing that, the forces of
the negative state came up with many different negative types of
personalities and their patterns, behavior modes, and attitudinal
makeup, which they imposed on many humans. One of the purposes of
this setup was to undermine the ability of humans to relate equally to all
others in a kind, respectful, tolerant and appreciative manner. So, you
have amongst you individuals who are barren, cold, aloof, detached,
unable to properly communicate or to express themselves; some of them
are obnoxious, overpowering, overwhelming, rude, inconsiderate; others
are socially, mentally and professionally inept; still others are too
introverted or too extroverted, or too mentally deranged, or too
something. Whatever the case may be, to be in the company of such
individuals, to associate with them, to communicate with them or to do
whatever with them, is either very difficult, or utterly unbearable,
uncomfortable, uneasy or outrightly miserable for you.
On the other hand, as mentioned above, your own individuality, the way
you are, the way you behave, act, relate, or whatever, could be as
unbearable, uncomfortable and miserable for someone else in the same
manner as that of someone else’s for you. In either case, if you are at this
point, it only means that you are responding favorably to the negative
state’s setup which fabricated such negative differences in order to
undermine your ability or willingness, or at least, to make it very
difficult, if not impossible, for you to be kind, tolerant, respectful and
appreciative, and everything else in the positive sense. With this
important awareness, it is necessary to dispense, once and for all, with
that kind of attitude on your part. If you really care about the
elimination of the negative state, and of all the negative aspects of the
typical human nature, and if the establishment of the fullness and
completeness of life of the positive state is truly on your mind and in your
heart, then, in that case, you have to learn to be tolerant, to be kind, to
be respectful and to be appreciative of others, no matter how weird,
strange, cold, aloof, detached, obnoxious, unbearable, overwhelming or
whatever they are.
Very often you hear people saying that they respect and appreciate
others the way they are, as well as their choices to be that way in their
own individuality, but they don’t have any desire or need to associate
with them, to communicate with them or to be in their company. And
very often you hear these kinds of statements also from My
representatives. If you are in this mode of your relatedness, then you are
still under the influence of the negative state. It is truly impossible to
respect or appreciate someone if you are unwilling or have tremendous
difficulties being with them. My representatives, being who they are and
what their role and position on planet Zero is in this respect, should
never have such an attitude. My representatives on planet Zero should
always keep their door open for everyone who would like to enter it.
Don’t be afraid that someone very negative, who could hurt or harm you
or cause you irreparable damage, might enter your door. You are under
My protection. Even to individuals like that you should show the utmost
kindness, tolerance, respect and appreciation because they are only
fulfilling their own agenda which they have from the negative state. You
don’t know if by your kind and respectful attitude, those types of
individuals would not change their negative agenda and, as a result,
would convert to the positive state. How else could you set up an
illustrative example of how it is to be positive, loving, good, tolerant,
kind, respectful, appreciative, understanding and accepting if not by your
own behavior and attitude which manifest these positive attributes?
It is an entirely different story if someone chooses to avoid you, not to
communicate with you or not to have anything to do with you for some of
their own reasons. Your duty in this case would be, first of all, to respect
such an individual’s need to avoid you; and secondly, you would be
advised to explore or to examine yourself whether there is something in
you, in your attitude, behavior, action, mode of relatedness or whatever
that turns such an individual off, so-to-speak, or that places that
individual into a position of avoiding you.
In conclusion of this Dialog, please, be aware of the tremendous danger
of justification and rationalization for the need of having such adverse
feelings, thoughts, attitudes, behavior or whatever toward anyone.
Remember, please, humans are masters of justification and
rationalization of all their atrocities, abominations and practices which
they have had during their entire putrid and bloody history. Don’t ever
fall into such a predicament. The temptation will be tremendous to
justify and rationalize your stance in this respect. If you continue to do
that, you’ll become a well-pointed and recognizable target to the
renegades. Remember that! And this is all that I wanted to add this
morning to the discussed issue. I would recommend finishing it for today.
Have a nice day.
Peter: Thank You very much for this very timely and extremely
important reminder.
