ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH DIALOGUE
October 15, 1999
Peter: During my rereading of Dialog 115, a question came to my mind
about the spiritual difference between the woman who came to You in
the city while You were dining in the Pharisee’s house and the woman
who was caught in adultery and who was brought to You for Your
response and advice about how to proceed in her case. We already
discussed her case in some of the previous Dialogs. Would it be
appropriate this morning to address this issue or anything else that You
feel like discussing? I do know the answer to this question but I would
like to ask You, if I may, to elaborate on it, or on anything else for that
matter, so that all readers of these Dialogs would have a proper
understanding about the fundamental differences of these two cases.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, it would be appropriate to do so.
However, before going into pointing out the differences in these two
cases, something else needs My clarification. It relates to the issue of
femininity and masculinity. From one of your phone conversations with
one of the readers of these Dialogs, it became obvious to you that a
possible confusion and misunderstanding may exist in some readers’
minds about the difference between the issue of gender and the
characteristics, traits and attributes of femininity and masculinity,
respectively. Whenever we are talking about masculinity and femininity
and their respective traits, characteristics and attributes, at no time do
we mean gender, or a male or a female. Those are two entirely different
things.
As mentioned many times before, a male contains within himself both
characteristics, traits and attributes — masculine and feminine in
various proportions and degrees. So does a female contain within herself
both characteristics, traits and attributes — feminine and masculine in
various proportions and degrees. Their redistribution within each —
male and female, determines the nature of their mentality, character,
behavior, physical appearance and everything else so characteristic of
both genders. Any deviation toward the extreme of one or the other —
either too much femininity in a male or too much masculinity in a female
— may lead to the development of homosexuality, so often occurring on
your planet. On the other hand, undeveloped or considerably repressed
feminine characteristics, traits and attributes in a male or masculine
characteristics, traits and attributes in a female, and an extreme
emphasis on, identification with and prevalence of only one but not the
other, may lead toward the establishment of a lifestyle which could be
characterized as a brutal he-man or the extreme form of masculinity
with all its arrogance, coldness, supremacy, superintellectualism,
suppression of emotions, inability to show tenderness, kindness and love
and of similar characteristics so typical of male behaviors; or, on the
other hand, it may lead toward a personality makeup which is too soft,
dreamy, impractical, emotional, unrealistic, fairy-talelike, unable to be
independent, unable to take care of herself/himself and similar
characteristics ascribed very often to a female.
So, as you see from this description, for proper function of any sentient
entity anywhere and anywhen, it is very important that both
characteristics, traits and attributes of femininity and masculinity are
contained in a balanced condition. The issue of their balancing has
nothing to do with their gender or the way they physically appear to each
other — one is a woman and the other is a man. The issue here is the
ability to exhibit the needed characteristics, traits and attributes of both
masculinity and femininity in both, whenever they are needed and
necessary or whenever the situation warrants them to be manifested.
Thus, a man can be very loving, kind, appreciative, compassionate, good,
creative, positively emotional and intuitive while at the same time he can
be wise, logical, intelligent, rational, intellectual, knowledgeable,
understanding and discerning of truth. If he is both, then he contains
within himself, in a balanced and proportionate way, both
characteristics, traits and attributes — of femininity and masculinity. At
the same time, a woman can be wise, logical, intelligent, rational,
intellectual, knowledgeable, understanding and discerning of truth while
at the same time she can be very loving, kind, appreciative,
compassionate, good, creative, intuitive and positively emotional. If she
is both, then she contains within herself, in a balanced and proportionate
way, both characteristics, traits and attributes — of masculinity and
femininity.
In other words, whenever the situation warrants or requires, any
sentient entity can be either one way or the other way or both
simultaneously. One does not exclude the other. The opposite is true:
One supports and enhances the other. This is the way the sentient
entities are in the positive state. As you see from this description, the
nature of the positive state and all its inhabitants is balance,
equalization, unity, oneness, harmony and integration of all
characteristics, traits and attributes of masculinity and femininity and
femininity and masculinity. This nature is a reflection of My Absolute
Nature in all Its Masculine and Feminine and Feminine and Masculine
Aspects. No other state, condition or process is conceivable in the positive
state. In order to illustrate this nature of the positive state, some
sentient entities chose to have an external physical form of what you
would call — androgyny. However, in the true sense of this word —
androgyny — its spiritual, mental and physical characteristics are not
what you think they are. In your human life, the term ‘androgyny’ and
what it carries, very often, has offensive, despicable and aversive
characteristics for you. Any human who may exhibit so-called
androgynous characteristics, has no counterpart in the same spiritual,
mental and physical content as any androgyny in the positive state, for
example. You can conceive a human androgyny as a caricature,
distortion and falsification of the true positive state’s androgyny, as
fabricated by the forces of the negative state in order to induce feelings of
disgust, aversion toward and rejection of the concept and meaning of true
unification, integration, harmony and oneness of feminine and masculine
and masculine and feminine characteristics, traits and attributes. This
was a ploy by the forces of the negative state in order to keep humans
and their creatures from anything even remotely resembling that which
is contained in the nature of the positive state in this respect.
So, how does an androgynous sentient entity appear or is in the
perception of some other sentient entity whose gender is either a male or
a female, respectively? In actuality, it is not a matter of appearance as
much as a matter of manifestation of one or the other characteristics,
traits and attributes either of masculinity or femininity or both
simultaneously. In this sense, in the positive state, one can be a woman
or a man, as far as the external gender characteristics are concerned and,
yet, if he/she or she/he contains in an equalized, proportionate and
balanced manner both masculine and feminine or feminine and
masculine characteristics, traits and attributes, — which is always the
case in the positive state — he/she and she/he would be considered to be
androgynous. This is how androgyny is defined and manifested in its
true sense in the positive state.
However, there is another point to this concept — androgyny — in the
positive state. This concept refers to someone who is truly androgynous
in the structural sense of his/her or her/his nature or individuality but
who is endowed with the ability to shift at will between one or the other
as needed and if needed. Thus, any time it is needed, necessary and
desirable, he can appear as she in the most beautiful external female
form and internal feminine content; or she can appear as he in the
external male form and internal masculine content. For this reason a
full, fulfilling, productive, creative and innovative sharing may occur if
the androgyny approaches a female — as a male; or if he/she approaches
a male — as a female. During such sharing there is no other perception,
let’s say, by a female than that he is a true male; or by a male than that
she is a true female. At the same time, if two androgynous entities
approach each other for sharing, they experience each other from the
level of both of their characteristics, traits and attributes simultaneously.
The masculine aspect of each shares itself with the feminine aspect of
each and the feminine aspect of each shares itself with the masculine
aspect of each. During the time of such sharing, there is no sense
whatsoever of anything comparable to your human homosexuality or bi-
sexuality. Instead, they experience a most unique, individualized,
personalized and inherently different aspect of a total integration,
unification, harmonization, equalization, balance-ness and oneness of
their respective characteristics, traits and attributes. As a result of this
sharing they acquire a higher level of knowledge of Me, themselves and
others and they give birth to an unusual and highly developed idea,
utilized for endowment of a new sentient life which transcends the scope
of its content, in abilities and nature of anything previously available.
And this is how things are in the positive state. So, please, don’t ever
look with contempt, aversion or disgust on the concept of androgyny or
what it contains. Again, and I am repeating this over and over again, you
need to learn to look at things as they are behind and not on or at the
scene.
Of course, such an arrangement in the positive state could not allow for
the activation of the negative state and of a typical human life. In order
to activate the negative state and fabricate human life, it was necessary
to deviate from this arrangement. For that reason, if, in the positive
state, everything is in a state of balance-ness, equalization, integration,
oneness and harmonization, then, in order to activate the negative state
and fabricate humans, it was necessary to come up with something
which would be a total opposite to anything existing in the positive state.
As you remember from the previous discourses, the first step in this
respect was the split of all attributes, characteristics, traits and
everything else, contained in masculinity and femininity. It was
necessary to delineate and sharply define the line existing between
masculine and feminine principles, respectively, and to establish a strict
role that one and the other would play.
In order to reinforce this split and make humans and creatures of the
negative state aversive and ashamed of being one or the other within
themselves, but only being what they are as far as their gender is
concerned and being fully identified with their respective gender, the
activators of the negative state devised all kinds of sexual deviation and
abnormalities, which were genetically, mentally, physically and socially
manipulated, which would lead the majority of humans to differentiate
and separate themselves from anyone who would not fit the commonly
accepted modes of relatedness on whatever level. Such differentiation
and separation would only reinforce their identities of being either a pure
female or a pure male with total rejection of anything that is defined as
being homosexual, bisexual or anything else different from their
conceptualization and expectation of how one should be in this respect.
And thus, the trap for humans and other creatures was set up. By
fabricating all kinds of abnormal and deviant conditions in the structural
design of some humans and creatures of the Hells, the forces of the
negative state succeeded in maintaining the strict separation and split of
masculinity from femininity and femininity from masculinity within each
individual and his/her and her/his typical gender identity. This is how
the pseudo-life of the negative state is being effectively maintained for
the time being. By inducing the confusion and misperception about the
true meaning of each, and by externalizing them into physical forms,
placing emphasis on the secondary sexual characteristics of the human
body, the forces of the negative state eradicated from the human mind
the true meaning of what masculinity and femininity in their respective
traits, characteristics and attributes are all about. The extreme of this
either masculinization or femininization of humans can be seen in such
human terms as ‘he-man’ or ‘she-woman.’ In actuality, these terms, and
any similar ones, can be considered an abomination of the negative state.
They support, fuel and perpetuate ad infinitum the separation, disunion,
split and isolation of one principle from the other.
In view of these facts, it is very important for you, as My true
representatives on planet Zero, to defy this accursed condition and
tendency which exists within the human life. The way to do this is, first
of all, to dissociate yourself from agreeing with the way human life is
structured in this negative respect. And secondly, by changing your
attitude toward your own masculinity and femininity and femininity and
masculinity within your own self, equalizing and balancing them in such
a manner so that you can manifest in your internal and external
behavior love, wisdom, good, truth, positive works, faith, kindness,
gentleness, tenderness, tolerance, respect, appreciation, intuition,
creativity, logic, reason, rationality, intellect and all other
characteristics, traits and attributes of masculinity and femininity. As
you see, being a man or being a woman doesn’t preclude you from having
one or the other or from manifesting in your behavior and attitude one or
the other. They are equally important and they are equally needed. At
the very same time, as mentioned in one of the recent Dialogs (106), by
treating one another equally with respect, love, appreciation, tolerance,
kindness and consideration, regardless whether you are a man or a
woman, you may successfully overcome your one-sided approach toward
the issues of masculinity and femininity and femininity and masculinity,
not only within yourself but without yourself as well and, most
importantly, toward others as well. And this is what needs to be done,
among many other things of similar positive nature, on your planet. And
this is what the role of My representatives is all about.
Peter: Thank You so much for this beautiful revelation and explanation.
Some of it was entirely new. Are You ready to proceed with the answer to
my question?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Most definitely, Peter. And yes, some of the
revealed concepts and how they are understood, defined and manifested
in the positive state are new for you and the other readers. Some other
concepts, although discussed several times before, are being looked upon
from an entirely different perspective. In that sense, seen from this
different perspective, they could also be considered as new.
Let us now address the issue of fundamental differences between the two
women in question who appeared before Me during My life on planet
Zero. Under what condition was the first woman brought to Me? First of
all, as you see from these words, she didn’t come on her own volition. She
was forcefully brought to Me because she was caught in the very act of
adultery. In her case, Moses’ law required to stone her to death. As you
remember, I refuted that need. However, this is not the issue. That issue
we discussed in some of the previous Dialogs. We don’t need to repeat it
here. In this case the issue is manifestation, illustration and
demonstration of certain important spiritual correspondences
represented by the first woman in question. As is obvious from the text,
that woman was an adulteress. What does it mean to be an adulteress or
an adulterer in the spiritual connotation of that word and not in its
typical external human behavioral understanding? In order to
understand the spiritual connotation of that word, first you need to
understand what the word ‘woman’ means in this particular connotation.
As you remember, one of the spiritual correspondential meanings of that
word is being in one’s own true nature or in one’s own individuality,
uniqueness and difference. In other words, ‘woman’ corresponds to one’s
own true nature or, also, to one’s own soul or mentality.
In this particular case, this woman rejected her own individuality,
uniqueness and difference or her own nature, soul or mentality. Instead,
she was going around trying to usurp or to appropriate someone else’s
nature, uniqueness, individuality, difference, soul or mentality for
herself. By doing that, she became adulterous. As you see from this
example, to reject one’s own nature and its individuality, uniqueness,
difference, soul or mentality, and to lust for, desire for or wanting to
usurp or steal someone else’s nature and its individuality, uniqueness,
difference, soul or mentality, means to be adulterous. This is what the
true spiritual meaning of adultery is all about. In other words, to lust or
desire to be like someone else, and to go after trying to become like
someone else, and, at the same time, to betray, reject, despise and to be
traitorous toward one’s own identity, the way one is, signifies being
adulterous. Because I am in everyone’s unique and different
individuality and identity, any attempt to relinquish them equals
betrayal, commitment of treason and to be traitorous not only against
oneself but also, against Me as well.
Now, the woman in question didn’t come to Me by her own freedom of
choice or by her own volition. Because of that, no foundation existed for
judging her, condemning her, but also for rejecting her. After all, she
didn’t ask for My forgiveness or for being judged for her behavior. Thus,
she didn’t come to Me, or was brought to Me from the position of her own
individuality, uniqueness and difference. In a situation like that, I had
no recourse, but to tell her only one thing: ‘I cannot judge you; go and sin
no more.’ As you see, instead of judging her, I gave her an alternative: to
stop doing what she was doing; that is to say, to stop rejecting, despising
and not wanting to be her own nature and to stop going after other
individuals’ nature and instead, to accept who she was in her own
individuality, uniqueness and difference and to identify herself with her
own nature. The issue here was that the woman in question was
approaching other men, not from the position of love but from the
position of the need to usurp or to steal their own identities so that she
could appropriate those identities to herself. There is nothing worse than
doing that to oneself. To repeat again, this is one of the worst forms of
spiritual adultery. Whether the woman in question would take heed and
follow My advice, would be an entirely different story.
On the other hand, look what happened in the case of the other woman.
No one was forcing her to come to see Me. She came to Me by her own
volition and by her own freedom of choice. She came to Me from the
position of her own identity, individuality, uniqueness and difference.
Her approach toward others was from the position of loving them. In no
way was it from the position of trying to become like them or to usurp or
steal their identities. Thus, she, by no means, was an adulteress as was
the other woman. Her problem was that she did it from herself and by
herself and not from Me in her and with Me. She recognized her mistake.
Because of that, I told her that her sins are forgiven. At the same time I
didn’t tell her to go and sin no more as I did to the other woman. Her
problem/sin was loving without wisdom. She became aware of that fact
and she rectified the situation. Because from that point on, whatever she
was going to do was with Me, from Me, by Me and for Me, no need
existed to tell her not to sin anymore. To do so, would assume that I
would be sinning right along with her. Such a thing would be an utter
impossibility. Do you see, Peter, the fundamental difference between
these two cases?
Peter: Yes, very clearly. Thank You for elaborating on them in such a
prolific way. I really appreciate this.
The Lord Jesus Christ: You are welcome, Peter. It was My pleasure to
do so. And now I would like to bring to your attention something else, if I
may.
Peter: Of course, any time You may.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Because in this dialog we have been talking
about the issue of sharing, masculinity, femininity, adultery and all
issues related to them, it is time that we redefine and reinterpret the
concept of sexuality. As mentioned many times before, the concept of
sexuality is the most misunderstood and distorted concept in its human
conceptualization. What does any human think or conceive whenever you
utter the word ‘sex’ or ‘sexuality?’ Nothing more and nothing less than
sexual coitus, intercourse or lovemaking between men and women, but
also on your planet, between men and men, women and women and
sometimes even between a human and an animal. In other words, this
term was grossly reduced to something which, in the positive state, has
very little or no meaning at all. On your planet it was degraded to the
level of purely physical, external, lustful and very often, a child-
producing act, which has no spiritual connotation whatsoever. Thus, this
concept in human understanding, lost its true meaning entirely.
In the positive state sexuality or sex has a totally different connotation.
It is not necessarily gender bound. To be sexual doesn’t mean to have
sexual intercourse. In essence it means to deeply love, respect and
appreciate someone regardless of his/her gender identity. It is a desire
and need to share with someone what one has and what one is. In this
sense, any relationship at all, at all levels of its manifestation, stems
from one’s unique sexuality rooted in one’s own uniqueness, individuality
and difference. It doesn’t necessarily mean to have sexual intercourse
with the object or subject of one’s love. Sexual intercourse has a totally
different connotation than sexuality as such. Moreover, sexual
intercourse in the positive state does not take place in the same manner
as in the negative state or in your human life. They have nothing in
common. This method was properly described in Chapter 20 of The New
Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ. There is no need to repeat it
here. What needs to be brought to your attention however, is how you
should conceptualize sexuality from now on.
First of all, it is crucial and vital that you transcend your
conceptualization of sexuality the way you have been accustomed to up to
this point by reducing and degrading it to the level of sexual intercourse
and only to sexual intercourse. Now, this does not mean at all that you
should avoid it if needed and necessary. It also has an immensely
positive connotation if you do it from Me, with Me, through Me and by
Me. What it means however, is that you learn to see sexuality as a means
of sharing, conveying, radiating and emanating the life force energies,
first of all, of My Own Absolute Uniqueness, Individuality and Difference
and, secondly, of your own individuality, uniqueness and difference.
However, as you know, there are many levels of sharing. Sexuality was
defined as an all-inclusive means for sharing. Thus, any sharing at all,
no matter at what level and no matter with whom it is taking place, is
possible only because of these life force energies which are purely sexual
in nature. At this point in time, we are coming to a crossroad, to a new
phase of the currently ongoing shift. This phase requires for all of you to
acquire information which is related to something previously mentioned
regarding the means and the modes of the acquirement of knowledge and
truth about anything at all. In that respect, it was indicated to you that
with the release of the new aspect from My Absolutely New Absolute
Nature, which will rule the incoming cycle of time/state/process, a
transcending mode of acquirement of knowledge of truth will be coming
to its fruition which will incorporate and integrate all previously
available means and modes.
The same thing may be applied to the concept of sharing and sexuality.
The preceding energies of that release require that you become aware
that with the release of the different aspect of My New Nature to the
entirety of My Creation, a new and totally different level of sharing will
become available and will be instituted which will transcend anything
available up to that point. It will transcend the meaning of sexuality as
an all-inclusive means and modes of sharing, as well as sexual
intercourse itself. That new and entirely different level or mode of
sharing will integrate and incorporate all previously available means and
modes of sharing, as well as the entire meaning, purpose, goal and
practice, both of sexuality and of lovemaking or sexual intercourse
practices. It will bring them to a new, more effable, more elating, more
elevated and totally transcending level than has ever been conceived,
understood, apprehended and practiced by anyone in My Creation, not to
mention in the pseudo-creation.
This new and different aspect will redefine and, in essence, replace the
old meaning and practice of sharing and its sexuality and sexual
intercourse. You may prepare yourself for the fact that it will have
nothing in common with what you know about it, how you conceive it and
how you practice your sexuality and lovemaking at any of their levels. At
this point in time, nothing more can or may be revealed about the nature
of this new and different aspect. The reason we are talking about it, is
that you need to prepare yourself for what is to come and to be willing to
change when the time comes to make such changes. Also, we are talking
about it so as to help you to transcend your understanding of these
discussed concepts and avoid clinging, being attached to or habituated to
your old ways. Yes, by all means, you may continue in your current
practices with this new understanding. But be aware that things in any
respect, and not only in this respect, will not be the same in any of their
aspects. By knowing this and by preparing yourself for this, when you
come to the spiritual world, or when the time arrives for the release of
this new and different aspect, you will not be shocked or inhibited from
accepting that which is to come. This is very important information.
More so than you can conceive or imagine at this time. I am preparing
you to be ready for everything new and different which is coming soon (in
non-time and non-space sense, of course). And this is all that we needed
to talk about today. Go in peace, Peter, and have a very nice day.
Peter: Thank You very much for this exciting information.
