In
“Fundamentals of Human Spirituality” (1982), pages 178-190, it
was revealed in thirteen points why the negative state was permitted to
come to its fruition, in general, by the Most High. In the preceding
Chapter of this book some important reasons for the Most High‟s
incarnation on this planet were revealed and discussed.
From the above mentioned discourse, an important question arises: if
Jesus Christ came to this world to save everyone from the negative state
and to subjugate all the hells, and to lock up the pseudo-creators, then
why does the negative state still exist? It seems like the negative state
did not lose its power and dominion on this planet and elsewhere but
became even more powerful, more influential and more devastating.
Did Jesus Christ fail in His/Her important mission?
If one carefully reads the Prophets and the Gospels in the Holy Bible,
one can see clearly that Jesus Christ‟s First Coming on this earth was in
no way for the purpose of elimination of the negative state.
In the Gospel According to Luke, Chapter 4, verses 17-21, we read:
“And He was handed the book of the prophet
Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He
found the place where it was written:
Verses 18-19:
„The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has
anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He
has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to
the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.‟
Verse 20:
Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the
attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who
were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
Verse 21:
And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture
is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Notice please, that Jesus Christ stopped reading the Prophet Isaiah
right in the middle of a sentence without continuing further, and said,
“Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
But, how does the Prophet Isaiah continue? In the Prophet Isaiah,
Chapter 61, the second verse (which was cut off from reading by Jesus
Christ after the first sentence, “To preach the acceptable year of the
Lord,”) continues as follows:
“And the day of vengence of our God; to comfort all
who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord,
that He may be glorified.”
Now, from this text it is very obvious that Jesus Christ‟s First
Coming was not for the total elimination of the negative state. Instead,
its purpose was to bring an alternative to the negative state, as described
in the previous Chapter; to open the door to the positive state; to show
and delineate the way out of the negative state and into the positive
state, giving everyone an opportunity to repent first before any other
steps in this respect could be taken.
As mentioned in the preceding Chapter, the salvation of Creation
from the negative state and their hells, in a general sense, consists of two
fundamental and major phases. In the first phase, it was necessary to
prevent and to save the positive state and its inhabitants from being run
over by the forces of the negative state. If the negative state was to
succeed in this effort, and the positive state was to succumb to them, the
entire Creation and the Zone of Displacement with all their inhabitants
would eternally perish. This is the reason why the most crucial and vital
task that Jesus Christ had in the first phase was not the elimination of
the negative state and closure of all hells but salvation of the positive
state from collapse.
As one remembers, at the time of Jesus Christ‟s First Coming, the
negative state vastly prevailed over the positive state, and its activators,
who are called the pseudo-creators by this author, had direct access even
to the throne of God, so to speak. The pseudo-creators‟ knowledge and
abilities to penetrate all outposts of the positive state even to the highest
heavens were such that no one but the Most High Himself/Herself could
restrain their influence and invasion.
When the point came that the pseudo-creators were succeeding in
invading the first regions of the heavens, it was time for the Most High
to step in. For that purpose, the Most High, in the form of Jesus Christ,
incarnated on planet Earth and expelled the pseudo-creators and all
other negative forces from the heavens, removed their dominance, rule
and control over the negative state and all its dimensions and levels,
removed certain vital and crucial knowledge of the mysteries of
life-making and its application, locked them up in inaccessible regions of
specially designed hells, severed all direct two-way access of the hells
into the positive state, restricted their influence only to the Zone of
Displacement and, until recently, to certain regions of the intermediate
world of spirits and placed all the hells in the negative state in order and
under His/Her ultimate control.
Without this crucial accomplishment, no one in the entire Creation
and in the Zone of Displacement could ever be saved or remain alive.
In this act of Jesus Christ, lies the true meaning of His/Her First
Coming to this world and to all other regions of the Zone of
Displacement. It is necessary to realize here, once and for all, that the
First Coming of Jesus Christ was not limited to His coming to planet
Earth only. It was also His First Coming into the intermediate Zone of
Displacement and into all regions of the hells. This fact is not too well
known to people on earth. However, nothing could be accomplished by
Jesus Christ if His First Coming were to be limited only to His activities
on the physical pseudo-earth. When He was crucified, before His
resurrection, He entered all other regions of the Zone of Displacement,
including all the hells of the pseudo-creators, and successfully
accomplished His mission there. One has to remember that those worlds
are not limited by temporal, spacial laws as the physical universe and
the physical Zone of Displacement is. Therefore, the three days and three
nights in earth time that Jesus Christ spent in the hells, in reality, could
equal many centuries or, as long as needed to successfully accomplish
these missions.
Once the first phase of salvation was accomplished and the negative
state was expelled from the positive state of Creation, with the exception
of some regions of the intermediate world of spirits, the second phase of
gradual elimination of the entire negative state from being and existence
could be initiated. This second phase and its tactics and procedures is
what is meant, among many other things, by the Second Coming of Jesus
Christ.
In view of these facts, it is necessary to gain a proper understanding
of why it was not only necessary but very vital and crucial that the being
and existence of the negative state and all its hells, and all its
dimensions, pseudo-worlds and levels would continue for a certain period
of time allotted by the Most High for very important spiritual reasons.
In order to gain such an understanding, certain reasons for this state
of affairs will now be revealed.
1. At the time of the pseudo-creator‟s uncontested rule and reign over
the vast majority of Creation they also controlled the production of new
life in the form of sentient entities and beings. Having the knowledge
and its application of creating various life forms, they fabricated all
kinds of beings and people and determined their number and
distribution. Because the primary purpose of the pseudo-creators was to
take over the entire Creation, whoever they produced by their magical
and correspondential means, they produced for that one purpose only.
Thus, people were born on this earth and produced elsewhere in the Zone
of Displacement without any freedom of choice but with sole
determination to be evil and negative and to take over the entire
Creation.
At the time of the First Coming of Jesus Christ, most of the
inhabitants of this earth as well as inhabitants of other regions of the
Zone of Displacement, and the intermediate world of spirits were this
kind of fabrication and production of the pseudo-creators. Thus, none of
them had any freedom of choice or awareness that such a freedom of
choice even exists and is possible. The pseudo-creators inculcated in
them the idea that everything is by necessity only and, therefore,
nothing else is available as an alternative. And because, at the same
time, they were given a strong instinctual drive to be and to exist as
living and self-aware entities, they were determined to continue in this
type of non-free, non-choice style of life to eternity.
Thus, at the time of the pseudo-creators‟ uncontested reign, no one
was born or produced (with some exceptions) with any awareness or need
for any choice but the choice to be evil and negative. This situation was
the ultimate “freedom of choice” for them. For that reason, to abruptly
eliminate this condition from their lives, means to eliminate their very
life.
If Jesus Christ, under those conditions, were to eliminate the
negative state, He would eliminate their very life and replace one mode
of necessity with another mode of necessity — this time the necessity to
be positive.
The nature of the negative state is built on the necessity to be this
way or to be that way. This is the life of the negative state.
On the other hand, the nature of the positive state is built on freedom
of choice and fluidity. One can choose to be this way or that way but one
is not forever locked into being this or that way. One can always change.
This is the very fluidity of the positive state. This is the true life of the
positive state. Thus, the positive state cannot survive or accept anything
or anyone by necessity only, but it can do so by freedom of choice.
The freedom of choice to lock themselves into the necessity to be evil
and negative depends on their free choice to remain the way they are. If
the negative state were to be eliminated prematurely, this freedom of
choice to remain the way the negative entities are would also be taken
away. Thus, no actual change would occur because to live by necessity,
even in the positive state, is the negative state.
For this crucial reason, it was necessary to allow the negative state to
continue in its being and existence within all regions of the Zone of
Displacement in order to give everyone an opportunity to be the way
everyone wants to be.
The difference between the situation that existed before the Lord‟s
First Coming and afterwards is a fundamental and crucial one. Before
His/Her First Coming everyone in the negative state remained in it by
necessity because there was no other alternative. However, after the
First Coming of Jesus Christ, when the way out of the negative state was
shown and illustrated by the Lord by a living and concrete example,
everyone in the negative state remains there by free choice.
Thus, as mentioned in the previous Chapter, Jesus Christ restored
the freedom of choice to everyone even in the deepest hells. No one is
anywhere, any longer, by necessity but only by freedom of choice.
This is the very first step toward the elimination of the negative
state. During the activation of the second phase, everyone in the
negative state is continuously presented with an opportunity to get out of
the negative state. Everyone is taught the ways and means to accomplish
this step. This learning is possible only by comparison and by an
example. If the negative state were to be eliminated abruptly, no
comparison of the positive state to the negative state and vice versa and
no setting of an example could be possible. Without this situation, no
true learning could occur but instead everyone would be forced by
necessity to blindly believe that the positive state is the better and the
only choice. Such a forceful imposition takes away the freedom of choice
and thus, makes it impossible to experience what the true positive state
is all about.
This is one of the major reasons why the negative state is permitted
to continue even after the First Coming of Jesus Christ. It shall continue
as long as necessary to expose everyone in the entire Zone of
Displacement to this learning and to the opportunity to convert to the
positive state.
However, at one point, when sufficient learning and opportunities are
made available to everyone in the pseudo-being and pseudo-existence of
the negative state, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will take place. In
this phase of salvation the rest of all the hells will be closed and isolated
and the entire Zone of Displacement will be emptied. Those entities in
the negative state that stubbornly persist in their evil and negativity will
condemn themselves into non-being and non-existence by their own free
choice. Their unique lives will be withdrawn from them into the Absolute
Source of Life in the Most High, where they will be purified and cleansed
from all pollution, poison and contamination by the evils and falsities of
the hells and subsequently released into the new, positive, self-aware
forms and receptacles of that life by free choice again. Their previous
negative forms and manifestations of that life will fall apart and turn
into nothingness because they were built from illusions, deceptions and
unreality. Thus, logically, they will become unreal, that is, nonexistent.
2. The true nature of the negative state cannot be learned by anyone
at all if all participants of the negative state live under the illusion that
they are in it by necessity only, without any other alternative available
for choosing.
As everyone remembers, the Most High permitted the activation and
dominance of the negative state for the purpose of an important spiritual
learning. The being and existence of the negative state cannot fulfill its
purpose and use, if its participants are under the impression that the
negative state is the positive state, because it is the only alternative that
is available. On the other hand, the initial activation of the negative
state would be impossible to accomplish if the negative state would be
presented for consideration to the conscious mind as a choice and not as
a necessity. No one would choose it by conscious free will. This is the
reason why all volunteers for the negative state volunteered that all
conscious memories and awareness of volunteering for and choosing the
negative state would be eliminated until an appointed time or until the
end of this cycle of time and the only awareness and discernment they
would have is that the negative state is by necessity and it is the only
available choice.
This is the only way the negative state can be activated.
Thus, in order for learning about the nature of the negative state to
occur, it was necessary to proceed in two steps:
First, to give the impression that the negative state is by necessity
and not by choice and by full identification of one‟s mind with the
negative state as the only possible alternative. (This enables the negative
state to come to its fruition.) And, secondly, at one point, after full falling
in love and identification with the negative state is firmly established, to
bring to every participant‟s awareness that the negative state is by
choice only and not by necessity.
Now, under these conditions, the negative state is chosen as a
preferable way of life and its nature can be, at last, fully manifested and
learned by everyone in Creation. This is the second important step in the
negative state‟s function and use that it performs for the Most High‟s
Creation.
Thus, when Jesus Christ incarnated in time and space, it was not for
the purpose of elimination of the negative state but for putting it into
proper position so that the fullness of the true nature of the negative
state could be manifested, illustrated and learned from the only position
from which any learning can be accomplished — from the position of free
choice to be negative.
If He were to eliminate the negative state prematurely, the answer to
that crucial question that was plaguing the entire Creation (what would
life be like if it were to derive from any other source than the Most High
and His/Her spiritual principles?), could never be answered properly.
Without having such an answer and learning, everyone in Creation
would be deprived of the most vital and crucial knowledge of what life
would be like without the Most High or with the false Most High. No
comparison would be available to anyone and no true, loving and wise
relationship toward the Most High and the positive state could be
established. Under these conditions, Creation would perish, in an
ultimate sense, from its being and existence.
In order to learn the answer to this vital and crucial question it was
necessary to permit the negative state to continue even after Jesus
Christ‟s First Coming. But now, its existence is allowed to be under an
entirely different condition — as a free choice, since everyone can learn
the ways and means of getting out of the negative state as illustrated,
demonstrated and shown by Jesus Christ.
The actual learning about the true nature of the negative state could
not start until this step was completed and the first phase of Jesus
Christ‟s mission was accomplished.
If one has no choice but the necessity to accept something at face
value, one accepts it blindly without having any possibility of
understanding its true nature and reason for its being and existence.
Under these conditions, one could never learn anything about anything.
On the other hand, if one is presented with various alternatives as a free
choice, one chooses what one wants to, one starts to love it and
understand it and one truly learns its true nature. Otherwise, one would
never begin to love it.
Once the total and complete learning about the true nature of the
negative state as a free choice takes place, its being and existence will
exhaust its usefulness and it will be permanently deactivated. The act of
this deactivation is one of the many meanings of Jesus Christ‟s Second
Coming.
3. At the time of Jesus Christ‟s First Coming into the negative state,
no proper, right and correct knowledge and understanding about the
positive state or the Kingdom of God existed. By that time the
pseudo-creators succeeded in their effort to such an extent that everyone
was of the opinion that the Kingdom of God is unobtainable or if it is
obtainable, it is only by total sacrifice of one‟s life and giving up all
earthly, bodily, material and any other pleasures. Thus, the Kingdom of
Heaven was perceived as something very negative, restricting, boring,
limiting and solemn without any joy or pleasure whatsoever.
With such a prevailing view, no one had a desire to strive to obtain
entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Another misconception that prevailed at the time was that the
Kingdom of Heaven was in a very remote place, outside the reach of
anyone and that the only way that one could enter into it was by violence
and force. Also, because the Kingdom of Heaven is a very negative place
and condition, it originates all miseries and sufferings that exist among
living beings and entities everywhere. Therefore, in order to get rid of all
miseries and sufferings, it is vital and absolutely necessary to take over
the Kingdom of Heaven, that is, the positive state, and abolish its rules
and conditions, establishing instead the rules and principles of the
negative state. Only then, all sufferings and miseries and problems
would be wiped out and eternal blessing and happiness would be
established.
Such was the belief of the majority of people in the negative state at
that time. This position was called an upside down position of the
negative state.
If, under those conditions, Jesus Christ would eliminate the negative
state, a tremendous vacuum would occur because all participants in the
negative state, without any proper knowledge and understanding of the
principles of the positive state, could not establish any proper and loving
relationship with the positive state.
As mentioned previously, the source of everyone‟s life is one‟s love. If
one takes away that love, even if it is the love of the negative state,
without replacing it with some different type of love, one takes away
one‟s life. One cannot enter any kind of relationship without properly
loving it and accepting it by one‟s freedom of choice.
To take the negative state away from people under those conditions
would mean to take away their lives and their ability to learn to love the
positive state. In that ability to love lies one‟s salvation. If one can learn
to love the negative state, it is obvious and logical that one can also learn
to stop loving it and replace that love with love for the positive state.
But, how can one develop any love toward something that is
considered to be cruel, inhumane, solemn, always serious, restrictive and
limiting? No one can love such a condition. Therefore, to take the
negative state away from people without giving them an opportunity to
learn the truth about the positive state, simply means to kill them. This
would be contrary to the principles of the positive state and the Lord‟s
Absolute Divine Love and Divine Wisdom.
For that reason, during the First Coming of Jesus Christ, He teaches
people the truth about the positive state by example and about its
conditions and placement (the Kingdom of Heaven is within). He tells
them that the knowledge of truth about this and all other matters will
make everyone free. This puts everyone in the position to make a right
and proper free choice for going in any direction they want to go or to
choose anything that they want to choose.
However, because this new situation has to be proven and illustrated
by living examples, it is necessary to retain the negative state for some
time in order to show everyone that it is possible to enjoy life, to be rich,
to have all the resources of the negative state and, yet, to be positive and
a member of the positive state. After all, it all depends on the kind of
intention and motivation one has in approaching anything in one‟s life.
Up to that point, the issue of intent and motivation was superfluous
because everyone believed they were in their condition by necessity
regardless of their intent and motivation.
Any manifestation of any intent and motivation is possible by
comparison only and by illustration of the consequences and outcomes.
If the negative state were to be eliminated before this illustration
could come to its fruition, no proper intent and motivation to be positive
could ever be attained. Everyone would be doomed to remain the way
they were at that time to eternity.
Unless the consequences and outcomes of both the positive and the
negative intent could be illustrated first by the living examples of people,
no one could ever obtain any understanding why and for what reason
one is the way one is. One would be enslaved in the necessity to be that
way without ever having any opportunity to understand the true
meaning of this situation.
The positive state is built on proper knowledge of truth and desire for
that truth and development of love toward that truth and motivation by
that truth. One‟s intent to know the truth for the purpose of applying
that truth in one‟s life is the prerequisite for discovery of the positive
state and identifying oneself with it.
This knowledge of truth cannot be acquired without first recognizing
that one is in falsities and their evils.
If one identifies oneself with the view that everything positive is
negative and everything negative is positive, one remains a slave of that
falsity and one has no desire to change anything about oneself since this
is the only reality that is known experientially to one.
If one eliminates the negative state with such identification as this,
one eliminates forever the possibility of learning the truth about the
positive state, also, because with that elimination, no one would remain
alive to learn it.
So, in the first step everyone is taught the truth by comparison to the
evils and falsities of the negative state and by vivid life illustrations of
those who are in the negative state, being positive and good.
This is the reason why the negative state must continue to exist even
after the First Coming of Jesus Christ, to give everyone an opportunity
to learn the truth and to acquire motivation for the development of
positive intent to actualize and realize that truth in one‟s life by gradual
relinquishment of all falsities which one loves or loved up to this point.
This way, the truth about the positive state can be learned and accepted
not by necessity but by freedom of choice.
4. At the time of Jesus Christ‟s First Coming into the negative state,
the pseudo-creators succeeded in total closure, isolation and separation
of people‟s Inner Minds, thus, they closed them off from God and from
the Kingdom of God which is within their Inner Minds. The only thing
that remained to them was their external minds. All values were placed
into these external, worldly, earthly, corporeal, sensual and material
matters. These matters were considered to be the only reality and the
only worthy cause for one‟s being and existence. No direct access to the
Inner Mind and thus to the Most High and His/Her Heavenly Kingdom
existed at that time. This was the outcome and consequence of the
activation of the negative state. Once this step was accomplished and full
love of and identification with the externals occurred, the externals
became the only source of people‟s lives. All knowledge that anything
internal exists or that God and the Kingdom of Heaven is in the Internal
Mind was hopelessly lost. People started to worship everything external,
including external gods in the form of idols or, in the case of the children
of Israel, in the form of external, useless, meaningless rituals and
traditions. The external traditions and rituals became god and the only
meaningful way of life.
Under those conditions, if Jesus Christ were to suddenly eliminate
the negative state (which He had the power to do), everyone in the
negative state would perish eternally because everyone put their lives in
those externals. The sudden opening of the Inner Mind would be so
overwhelming and unbearable that no one could survive such an act.
After all, one has to remember that no one knew at that time that the
Inner Mind even existed or what the Inner Mind was. A sudden
confrontation with the Inner Mind would cause such an unbearable guilt
and shame that no positive intent or motivation for living could be
maintained whatsoever. After all, if one eliminates the negative state,
one eliminates any reliance on the externals and this results in the
opening and realization of the Inner Mind‟s being and existence. Without
proper preparation or gradual acceptance of the Inner Mind‟s existence,
one cannot survive the fullness of the Inner Mind‟s presence in the
condition in which one is fully identified with and loves one‟s externals
and all related matters.
Thus, the very first step that was necessary to accomplish in this
respect was to bring to the realization of people that one‟s life does not
depend on external factors but that there is something else which is
more important and more vital and on which one‟s life truly depends.
Jesus Christ, by His example, teaching, and concrete lifestyle gave
everyone an opportunity to learn all these things and to realize that one
is not in the externals by necessity, but by choice. The concept of choice
supposes that there is a different alternative to life than life in the
externals.
From this point on, both alternatives can be illustrated by a living
example of people‟s lives so that an alternative opportunity to choose the
positive state would be available to everyone in the negative state. If the
negative state were to be eliminated before such an illustration of both
alternatives and the consequences of free choice of both alternatives
could take place, no one would be able to learn what life is like if one
does everything from the position of one‟s Inner Mind and God and the
positive state. Without such learning, no opening of one‟s Inner Mind
could occur. Without such an opening, with elimination of the negative
state in the externals, no one could survive for a fraction of a second.
This is another reason why the negative state was permitted to
continue even after the First Coming of Jesus Christ. To accomplish this
purpose requires time in order to give everyone an opportunity to learn
about all of this. Once everyone is given plenty of such opportunities and
all learning occurs, then the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be fully
actualized and the negative state will come to its permanent end.
5. As mentioned above, all participants in the negative state were
convinced at the time of the First Coming of Jesus Christ that the
negative state was the only alternative in life and exists by necessity and
not by choice. Because of this philosophy the negative state was
considered to be positive and the only feasible source of life. With this
kind of identification, no one in the negative state, as well as in the
positive state, had any knowledge, understanding and acceptance of
what the true origin, source, nature, purpose and goal of the negative
state is. Only the Most High and the pseudo-creators knew its true
origin, source, nature, purpose and goal. Thus, everything in it was
disguised under the mask of something other than it really was. Such is
the nature of the negative state because if the true nature, origin, goal,
purpose and source of the negative state were to be known, understood
and accepted, no one would ever want to be a part of the negative state.
For that reason, it was permitted by the Most High that, for the time
being, no one would know the real origin, source, nature, purpose and
goal of the negative state so that the negative state would have a chance
to prove its point and to enable everyone to attain the answer to that
vital and crucial question mentioned above.
However, once the negative state is firmly established, the learning
about its origin, source, nature, goal and purpose can begin. But, as long
as the negative state remains hidden, disguised and secretive, no one can
learn anything about it. For that reason, during the First Coming of
Jesus Christ, an end to this situation is made and the door is open to
bring to the surface step by step, gradually, the truth about the negative
state. If Jesus Christ were to eliminate the negative state in the
condition it was at the time of His First Coming, no one would ever learn
about its true source, origin, meaning, nature, purpose and goal. Under
those conditions the answer to that question, formulated above, could
never be obtained.
One of the missions of Jesus Christ‟s First Coming was to eliminate
the pseudo-creators from the rest of Creation and lock them up so that
they would no longer block, disguise and keep secrets and hide all these
important matters about the negative state. After this was accomplished,
the negative state could begin to surface and manifest its face in
comparison to the positive state which was revealed by Jesus Christ as
an alternative to the negative state.
It takes a long time, in earthly temporal terms, to bring all these
matters about the negative state to the surface and to properly illustrate
them for the entire Creation‟s learning. However, once this is
accomplished, and the entire nature of the negative state and its source,
origin, purpose, goal and meaning are fully exposed and brought to the
surface, the negative state will be eliminated by everyone‟s choice. This
process constitutes one of the many meanings of the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ.
6. As mentioned above, at the time of Jesus Christ‟s First Coming, the
pseudo-creators succeeded in making everyone accept the view that the
negative state exists by necessity and that, therefore, there is no other
alternative available. By this step everyone in the negative state became
a full-fledged slave of that necessity. Once this is accomplished, no one in
the negative state feels any sense of responsibility for anything that is
happening in one‟s life because it is always beyond one‟s control. It comes
about as a result of its necessity rather than a consequence of one‟s
choice. Since there are no choices in the negative state, there cannot be
responsibility for anything that is happening in one‟s life. Everything is
inevitable and predetermined by the necessity of no choice.
Thus, no one in the negative state feels responsible for anything.
Because of this situation, no proper self-concept, self-image and
self-perception, as a self-aware, free, independent and choice making,
decision-making individual can be obtained or apprehended in the
negative state. For this reason, people in the negative state have no idea
who they are and why they are where they are and what this is all about.
Not only do they not have any idea about this, but they don‟t even care to
know or to strive to have such ideas or knowledge. This is one of the
ultimate accomplishments of the negative state. This is the way of the
negative state.
If one identifies oneself with and loves this kind of attitude and
lifestyle, one is an ignorant slave of the negative state. All
responsibilities are relinquished to someone or something, someone over
there in the far outside, and no one has to care about anything.
Under those conditions, if the negative state were to be eliminated,
no participant in the negative state would have any opportunity to learn
the truth about himself/herself, to accept a proper self-concept and
self-image and to become a free, independent, self-aware, responsible
being and entity. Because of that kind of situation everyone in the
negative state would ultimately, eternally, perish.
One who is irresponsible and has no idea who he/she is and why
he/she is and who thinks that he/she has no choice in any matter
whatsoever cannot be introduced into the positive state.
In the First Coming of Jesus Christ, the first step, in this respect, was
to remove this blindness or irresponsible behavior and identification and
to illustrate that everyone is responsible for everything that is
happening in one‟s life because everyone has an alternative choice.
In the second step everyone is given an opportunity to experience the
results of freedom of choice and to bear the consequences of their actions
without blaming anyone. This leads toward a possibility of establishing a
sense of self as a unique, special, unrepeatable being who can exercise
the newly acquired gift of freedom of choice. The only way one is able to
acquire any kind of self-concept, self-image, and self-perception is by an
ability to choose freely from many alternatives.
But at the time of the First Coming of Jesus Christ no such
alternatives were available because everything was by necessity and not
by free choice. Therefore, if Jesus Christ were to eliminate the negative
state under those kinds of conditions, and impose the positive state on
the members of the negative state, they would take it as a necessity and
not as an alternative and, therefore, no freedom of choice could ever
come to its fruition. In this case the positive state would become truly
negative.
For that reason, it was necessary first to bring to people‟s attention
the true state of affairs about their situation and give them an
experience of life in which they could freely choose to be positive or
negative, making them responsible for all good or bad consequences of
their free choices. In this manner, they can acquire a sense of being
unique, free and independent individuals who live not by necessity but
by their own free choice.
This new situation is a crucial next step in the preparation for the
ultimate elimination of the negative state during the second phase of
salvation, that is, during the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Gradually and slowly, step by little step, people can learn by their
own examples, all the consequences of both the negative and positive
choices and to ultimately want to choose, at one point of their learning,
only the positive state. Once everyone comes to the point that one wants
to choose only the positive state, the negative state will cease to be and to
exist. Of course, only the Most High knows exactly what kind of drastic
measures, examples, experiences, and experiments are needed to
convince people to freely choose only the positive state.
And this is another important reason why the negative state is
permitted to continue. At this point in time, it has not exhausted its
usefulness for learning and choice-making.
7. At the time of the First Coming of Jesus Christ, the
pseudo-creators succeeded completely in convincing everyone in the Zone
of Displacement that this Zone is the only true and genuine reality and
that everything else is unreal or fake. Thus, according to them, only the
Zone of Displacement is the true source of life and everything positive;
therefore, the rulers of it are the true and uncontested creators and gods.
Everyone in the Zone of Displacement identified with this idea and fully
fell in love with all the fabrications and the life style of this Zone. No
other knowledge and understanding was available about any other
possible reality. For that reason, no desire or motivation existed to verify
or to check out whether what is being presented to the members of the
negative state about this and any other situation is true, or false. Under
those conditions, people lost any perspective of what is really true or
desirable and they accepted the falsity of that situation at face value.
On the other hand, some people who were considered good and godly
at that time, had little or no conscious idea that any other form of life
exists but the one they had on planet Earth. Therefore, physical death
for them was the end of any life.
Because the Zone of Displacement was considered to be the only
available reality to all its inhabitants, everyone lived there by necessity
and not by free choice. If one has no idea that anything else exists or is
real, one has no choice in the matter and one is here or there by
inevitable necessity. This being the case, one puts all one‟s trust,
confidence, belief, faith and hope in the inevitable necessity and loses
any desire to search for something else, since there is nothing else.
If Jesus Christ were to eliminate the negative state under those
conditions, He would simultaneously eliminate all its inhabitants and
their faith, trust, confidence, belief and hope in the only thing with
which they identify themselves. Obviously, if one takes away one‟s
source of faith, trust, confidence and belief, one takes away one‟s life.
Thus, no one in the Zone of Displacement could have been saved.
For that reason, in these and in any other matters, it was necessary
to initiate a different approach: to leave people their assumed source of
life, reality, identity, love, faith, trust, confidence, belief, hope or
whatever they had, and at the same time, bring in all other available
alternatives and illustrate their true nature, results, consequences and
outcomes by a living example of those who are identified with the
positive state. And to reveal to people that their life does not end with
their physical death.
During the First Coming of Jesus Christ, He/She opened the door to
all other alternatives, and to other dimensions, leaving at the same time
the negative state in dominance in the Zone of Displacement so that
sudden extinction of life would not occur by taking away the assumed
source and identities of people‟s lives and loves. At the same time He
introduced a new way of life, the positive state, that was to coexist with
the old one in order to serve as an example and comparison to everyone
in the Zone of Displacement of what it is like to be in the positive state.
This peculiar and unusual situation is tolerated by the Most High
until everyone in the Zone of Displacement has enough time and
opportunity to make a true comparison between the negative and the
positive state and to learn from many examples by the people of the
positive state to ultimately make their own free choice in these matters.
When this happens, the negative state is eliminated, the Zone of
Displacement is emptied and becomes uninhabited and the true reality of
the positive state of the Most High‟s Creation takes over permanently.
And this is another reason why the negative state was permitted to
continue even after the First Coming of Jesus Christ.
Now, the above seven points reflect some of the reasons why the
negative state is permitted to continue even after the First Coming of
Jesus Christ. It is conceivable to assume that there is a transcending
understanding for these reasons. However, the points revealed here in
this matter are sufficient for everyone‟s consideration at this time.
