CHAPTER THREE
WHAT IS THE REAL ORIGINATION OF ALL YOUR
PROBLEMS, TROUBLES, BAD HABITS, SUFFERINGS,
MISERIES, ILLNESSES, DISEASES, ACCIDENTS,
INCIDENTS, AND ALL OTHER MISFORTUNES,
LIABILITIES, SHORTCOMINGS, ET CETERA?
WHAT KIND OF PURPOSE DO THEY SERVE IN YOUR
LIFE? DO YOU REALLY NEED THEM?
HOW DID THE NEGATIVE STATE REALLY ORIGINATE?
DID EVE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN REALLY EAT AN
APPLE AND GIVE IT TO ADAM TO EAT, WHICH ACT
SUPPOSEDLY STARTED ALL HUMAN MISERIES AND
THE NEGATIVE STATE? WHAT DOES ALL THIS REALLY
MEAN AND SIGNIFY? HOW CAN IT BE APPLIED TO YOUR
OWN PRIVATE LIFE OR TO EVERYDAY LIVING?
Have you ever asked yourself the question, why is there so much
misfortune on this Earth? Why do I have problems? Why do I
occasionally get myself into trouble? Why have I developed bad habits?
Why do I suffer and feel miserable? Why did I get involved in some kind
of accident and why do all other kinds of misfortunes, liabilities and
shortcomings happen in my life and in the lives of other people? Have
you ever wondered what the reason is behind all these things and how
they originated? What is causing them? I am pretty sure you have. But, I
am also positive that you, in most instances, either get an unsatisfactory
answer or a totally wrong answer.
The problem is that we all have a tendency to seek answers
somewhere else where there are no answers. Because of this we come up
with wrong, made-up answers which we then consider to be true
answers. We have a tendency to explain or to believe that all these
negative things, which occasionally happen to us during our life on
Earth, are caused by some kind of external factors beyond our control,
and that, personally, in most instances, we have nothing to do with it.
However, even if this were true, which it is not, have you ever asked
yourself why such external factors exist at all? And how it came about
that you were the one affected by them, or were afflicted by them, and
not your next door neighbor? Or that your next door neighbor was
affected and you were not? Or why you were in that particular hour and
in that particular place (wrong place, wrong time, wrong everything)
where an accident or some kind of misfortune happened to you or to
others? Why do all these kinds of negative, adverse and unfortunate
things occur and exist, and why is mankind on this planet plagued with
all these things, including all kinds of so-called natural disasters such as
earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, severe winters and so on and
so forth? Or why all that bloodshed and those devastating wars have
been plaguing mankind since the first day of its recorded history?
Do all these things happen just like that, by sheer accident, without
having any connection to the way we live, think, feel, act and function,
without any choice to participate in most of them by our own free will?
Or, without our saying so? Are you a helpless and dependent slave of all
these misfortunes, and are they beyond your control so that you cannot
do anything about them because it is the way it is, and things come at
you seemingly without any expectation on your part or without your
conscious invitation? What kind of mysterious forces are behind all of
these atrocities and abominations that make your life and the life of
humankind so miserable and lousy with constant fear of nuclear
holocaust and the total destruction of life on the planet Earth?
Most people have a tendency to think that they are in no way
personally responsible for whatever happens in their life.
If you read carefully and understood properly what was said in the
two previous chapters, by now you know that your conscious
unawareness of the causative factors of these negative misfortunes does
not mean in any way that you are not responsible for things which are
happening in your life. For some reason, at one point in your existence,
you chose, by your own free will, to experience them together with a
choice not to remember consciously for some time that you made such a
choice.
When you tell people this fact for the first time, they find it difficult to
believe all of this. But, once they succeed in getting in touch or in contact
with their Inner Mind, contained in the five percent of the truly human
in them, they are surprised to find out the real truth about this and any
other matters.
So, the first important question is how do these kinds of atrocious
miseries and sufferings come into being in a general sense in the first
place? And the second important question is, how do they happen to you
personally?
As you remember from the two previous chapters, the Most High —
the Creator, did not originate or create any such negative or adverse
things. The nature of the Most High is Purely, Absolutely Positive.
Whatever is Absolutely Positive can originate only pure, positive and
good things. However, the nature of the Most High is also Absolutely
Free and Independent. It is also Absolute Pure Love and Pure Wisdom.
And what is the nature of true Love? True Love wants and desires
nothing more than to share unconditionally everything that it has with
someone else. In such a sharing there is its Wisdom. But, if sharing is
from Love to Share, it must be on the basis of freedom or on the basis of
free choice to share and to reciprocate that Love and its Sharing. I cannot
very well force you to love me only because I love you unconditionally.
Such a forceful love would be unwise and, in fact, no love at all. It would
be a sharing which would not be able to reciprocate anything. Thus, no
sharing would take place in such a relationship.
The only way you can really experience Love and its Wisdom is when
you accept that love from your free will, by your own free choice and
reciprocate it with the one who has a desire to share it with you. Thus,
any true loving can be only in freedom and independence. Such love does
not force, does not demand, is not possessive or jealous and it does not
enslave anyone. If it did all these things, it would not be true love but
hatred disguised as love.
Because the nature of the Most High is such that it has to create the
type of intelligent being with whom He/She can share His/Her Absolute
Unconditional Love and Wisdom, and, because He/She is Absolute
Freedom and Independence, the only possible way that the Most High
can create intelligent beings, for the purpose of free and independent
sharing, is with the sense and awareness of their own freedom and
independence.
Thus, the first principle of such creation of beings is that you can
create them only under one condition; you give them free will, freedom of
choice to decide whether they will or will not accept that Love and
Wisdom; whether they will or will not want to accept that Sharing; and,
most importantly, whether they will or will not reciprocate that Love by
starting to love in return. Only from such mutual Love and its Wisdom
can a true relationship be established. This is true about anything
including relationships among humans.
So, intelligent beings were created originally by the Most High with
an inborn or in-created, so to speak, idea that they may at any time
accept or not accept their Creator, acknowledge or not acknowledge
Him/Her; share or not share with Him/Her; reciprocate or not reciprocate
that love and love Him/Her or not love Him/Her.
But, because all originally created intelligent beings were created by
the Most High from His/Her principles of Love and Wisdom, they were
created for Love and Wisdom. Thus, the condition for any intelligent life
is to love and to be wise. You have to have some kind of love and some
kind of wisdom in order to live. If you don’t love the Most High you have
to love something or someone else. If you don’t love wisdom you have to
love foolishness or things like that. It is Love and its Wisdom or love of
not loving and its foolishness that constitute your life.
Another condition of such a choice, as described above, is that
whatever you choose, results in certain consequences. Your choice, no
matter what it is, brings with itself certain results and outcomes.
What are the results and outcomes of your choice, if you choose fully
to reciprocate the Most High’s unconditional Love and Wisdom? Because
that Love and Wisdom is purely positive, the result and outcome of it is
obviously purely positive; happiness, joy, delight, pleasure, contentment,
satisfaction, peace, serenity, calmness, tranquility, richness, beauty,
kindness, gentleness, tenderness, creativity, freedom, truth, knowledge,
wisdom and many other innumerable felicities. Nothing else can be the
result of such mutual, reciprocal love with the Most High.
On the other hand, what happens if you decide, from your own free
will, to refuse to reciprocate that love with the Most High? What are the
results of such a choice? By rejecting that love, you, of course, reject all
its consequences and outcomes. That is, you reject all its felicities. But, in
order to survive you must love something or someone. So, if you do not
love the Most High and everything what the Most High offers and if you
turn yourself against that Love, you will start to love something or
someone else. You will start to love yourself for your own sake and you
will start to love things which are useless, without any value and of an
external nature; that is, you will start to love this world and all its
negativity. This is the foolishness of such love.
So from this, you can see that from that rejection, that refusal to
reciprocate the love of the Most High, you create from yourself, from your
own free will, by the act of your own free choice, just exactly the opposite
characteristics of the true love which are misery, sadness, unhappiness,
evils, falsities, restlessness, ugliness, nastiness, meanness, anger,
violence, hostility, guilt, wars, illnesses, misfortunes, perversions,
accidents and all other atrocities and abominations which humankind on
the planet Earth has in such an abundance. Thus, the result of self-love
and love of this world is just that. Whatever negativity and evilness
exists, it exists because of that act of rejection. But it was not the Most
High who refused to share His/Her Love and Wisdom with you.
Therefore, the Most High cannot be considered in any way to be the
originator of such negativity, evils and falsities. It was you who rejected
that reciprocity and sharing and by that act you became a fabricator of
the negative state.
Thus, all negativity, evils and misfortunes of any kind without any
exception or exclusion were originated by human beings, who at one
point in their history, decided to experiment with the idea of what would
happen if they were to reject sharing and reciprocating that Love with
their Creator.
The consequence and the result of that experimentation was
activation of the negative state and all its atrocities and abominations as
it is so vividly illustrated in the entire history of humankind on planet
Earth.
This act can be considered a general principle by which all human
miseries, problems and sufferings, be they spiritual, mental, emotional,
intellectual, sexual, physical or any others, originated.
But what about your own problems? How did you get them? Are they
beyond your control? Maybe you agree that some of your mental
problems are the result of some wrongdoing on your part but what about
purely medical or physical problems or illnesses which are seemingly
beyond your control? Do you believe that your body can originate
anything independently of your spirit?
Do you remember from the two previous chapters of this book the
statement that says that the Most High formed from the dead elements
of matter on planet Earth a human body and that that body was not alive
and functional until the Most High breathed or endowed His/Her Spirit
into that body and by that act the Most High vivified that body? So what
is it that is alive in the body? The body itself? It cannot be alive because
it is always a non-living entity, dead elements of matter without any
trace of anything living in it. It is the spirit in the body that lives and
keeps your body in constant motion and functioning, giving you the false
impression that the body lives by itself. Remember that example of the
sunrise and sunset? We say that the sun rises and the sun sets but, in
actuality the sun is stationary and it is the Earth which moves around
the sun and around its own axis and that movement causes this illusion.
The same is true about the body. We think in terms of our body being
alive by itself but it has never been or never will be alive by itself.
Instead, it is the spirit in your body that is alive and that wills, feels,
senses, breathes, moves or whatever you have.
If this is the case, then, how come that body, dead in itself, can
produce or originate any illnesses no matter what they might be? It is a
gross illusion and error of medical science to feed you such foolishness for
many thousands of years and to force you into believing that there is
anything such as physical illnesses which your body can originate by
itself. Whatever is dead in itself and by itself cannot produce or originate
anything. Thus, any physical illness, no matter what kind, without any
exception or exclusion, that might befall you, is originated in your spirit
and is a physical symptom or a correspondence of a purely spiritual state
of affairs in you. Something went wrong with your proper spiritual
function which afflicted that organ or part of your body which directly
relates or corresponds to that function. Since your spirit and soul is
present in every cell and organ of your body, in order to keep it alive, if
something goes wrong with that particular part of your spirit’s function
which is in charge of that part or organ of your body, that part or organ
of your body will become sick to reflect the spirit’s dysfunction.
Of course, this is true not only with physical illnesses but with all
other negativity that you might have, such as bad habits, obesity,
smoking, alcoholism, drug use, various sexual dysfunction, bad temper,
delinquency, crimes, violence, wars and anything else. You name it,
you’ve got it. They are all results and consequences of some
inappropriate spiritual state of affairs either within one individual or
within the entire society or the entire humankind.
But what about the so-called natural catastrophes and disasters
which really seem to be beyond our control? These kinds of catastrophes
and disasters are as much under the influence of spiritual laws as
anything else. When a society as a whole consistently releases, into the
external world of nature, only violent, negative, raging and adverse
feelings, thoughts, actions and similar negative things, these things
influence the movement of all physical elements and components. They
are forced into forms of violent conditions that strike various parts of
Earth seemingly unexpectedly, out-of-the-blue. No one realizes that these
things are the result of humankind’s negativity, violence, rage, and of the
wrong thinking, feeling, beliefs, and actions of people as a whole.
From these explanations you can see clearly that, whatever is
happening on Earth and with you personally and with other people, be it
positive or negative, is the result of the spiritual state of affairs and of
your own mind. It is always a result of your, either right or wrong
spiritual choice of which you have, in most instances, no conscious
awareness. False thinking, false feelings, false attitudes, inappropriate
self-concepts, self-image, distorted views, opinions, attitudes, inadequate
behavior, acts and similar things, which are of a spiritual origin, are
what cause all your problems, miseries and sufferings as well as those of
all humankind.
Of course, you can question how you can be responsible for all of these
things if you have no conscious awareness of making such choices and
creating such false attitudes as mentioned above.
The reason that you are responsible for all of this is because you
chose, for certain important spiritual reasons, not to be consciously
aware of these facts for some time. This choice makes you clearly
responsible. So, what are the originating factors of all of your problems?
As you remember from the previous chapter, your present life did not
start on planet Earth.
Under presently existing conditions on planet Earth, where the
negative state is fully activated and dominates, it would be impossible to
survive your direct entrance into this world without prior thorough
training and preparation in that specific intermediate world which was
created by the Most High for this specific purpose.
You also remember that during your stay in that world you were
exposed to various experiences and aspects of the negative state. This
was done from the position of being fully and consciously aware of what
purpose and goal such negative experiences serve in comparison with the
positive state, from the position of the positive state. You also remember,
that no matter by which one of the seven ways you came to this Earth,
you volunteered for some very specific and unique mission and
assignment. In accordance with the nature of your mission and
assignment, you chose all your future problems, no matter what they are
(even to be born as a total idiot, for example), and your life style to the
minute details at every step of your transient Earthly life. Only by going
through your own personal experiences on this Earth, no matter how
awful and miserable they are, can you properly, effectively and
successfully fulfill your mission and purpose for being here. Whatever
befalls you during your Earthly life is not only by your choice but it is,
most importantly, for a very vital, crucial and decisive lesson about the
various aspects of the nature of the negative state. And the learning is
not only for you personally, but for the entire Creation. Thus, from your
experiential life in the negative state, the entire Creation learns the
answer to that crucial and important question which was described in
chapter one of this book.
When you were in training on that specific intermediate world, you
picked up the type of problems, miseries and sufferings or whatever you
have, that you would have while on Earth and you identified yourself
with all of them. You accepted them as yours. This acceptance made it
possible for you to survive your harsh and extremely dangerous entrance
into this world through inhuman, cruel and unnatural physical birth
from your mother’s womb. If you came to this world without experiences
of those problems, which temper that harsh and dangerous entrance, you
would be instantly annihilated by the onslaught of total evilness and
falsities of the negative state that attack, viciously, everything positive
and good. Thus, you needed to acquire and experience all these problems,
which you would exhibit during your Earthly life, prior to coming here in
order to be able to survive here.
From this fact you may now conclude that, whatever happens to you,
from the moment of your conception to the end of your Earthly life, has
never been a causative or originating factor of your personal problems
and troubles, as psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists,
physicians and counselors would like you to believe. Instead, all those
experiences with your parents and other people, or whatever negative
experiences you have had, functioned only as the triggering factors for
your problems. They triggered your problems, acquired in that specific
intermediate world, in order that they could be manifested,
reexperienced in this dimension and give you and all others in the entire
Creation an opportunity to learn something very important.
You have to remember that the necessity to re-experience those
problems in this dimension, in the Zone of Displacement of this planet,
stems from the fact that in that world you experienced it with full
conscious knowledge of the purpose, need and goal which they served.
This was done in comparison to the positive state and from the position
of the positive state. Such an experience is not sufficient for
learning because this learning does not take place from the
position of the negative state but from the position of the
positive state. The true learning about the nature of the negative
state can take place only from the position of the negative state,
that is from the position of ignorance.
The reason why you acquired experiential problems in that special
intermediate world was not so much for demonstration of the nature of
the negative state but for enabling you to survive your entrance into the
ignorance of the negative state.
On the other hand, people who enter this world from hells (and we
have more than two-thirds of humankind at the present time who came
from hells), cannot survive either their entrance into this world without
prior learning and preparation for how to temper their pure evilness and
negativity. In this world they are exposed to the agents of the Most High
who continuously radiate and emanate pure Love and Wisdom and
Goodness and Truth of the Most High. This exposure would cause them
such an anguish that they would instantly perish. In that process, from
their pure hatred, they would destroy everyone else. The hells cannot
allow this to happen because it would mean their own total self-
destruction. This is also the reason why people who come here from the
hells into this world must be very carefully trained and prepared. It is
also important to realize that those people, who are coming to this world
from the hells, are the ones who were originally fabricated by the pseudo-
creators after the pseudo-creators established themselves in the hells.
Thus, they never experienced any other state but the hells. They have
never been on planet Earth before or on any other planets or any other
place in the entire Creation of the Zone of Displacement for that matter.
So they don’t reincarnate, as some people would like to believe. But they
are either initiated from the negative and evil idea of the two spirits of
hells (which idea is, through the magical and various other mysterious
means, subsequently endowed with life and becomes an individualized,
self-contained, self-aware being) or some negative spirit who lived all its
life in the hells volunteers for the first time to come here for a specific
mission as described above. But because they live in total evilness,
falsities and negativity, they do not contain anything positive and good.
They consider this condition to be the only positive and good state.
Therefore, they must be prepared and trained very thoroughly in order to
enter this world where they would encounter for the first time contact
with something positive and good. This positive and good is emanated
and radiated by the special agents of the Most High on this Earth.
So, from these general considerations the question that you are
asking, perhaps, is, “What kind of purpose, need, goal and learning do
my personal problems and negative experiences, regardless what they
are, or anything else for that matter, serve? How can I learn from all of
this, and, do I really need to go through all of this?”
The answer to these important questions is that the purpose, need,
goal and learning of your own private, personal problems and all kinds of
experiences is known only to the Most High and to your Inner Mind.
Thus, only you, personally, can find out about all of this as it is related
intimately to you. You will be shown a step-by-step way and procedure to
do just that in the next chapter.
You have to remember that we are all different and, therefore, we
derive very different experiences, learning and manifestations even from
the same type of problems and illnesses that we might have in common
with others. For that reason it is impossible for me to tell you what your
specific goal and purpose is, and the need for all of your experiences. I
can give you only general outlines as illustrated in these and previous
chapters. But, I can remind you of or trigger in you something that you
have, that is a very special tool, means, ability or a gift from the Most
High that you brought with you into this world for the purpose of being
able to learn your own specific purpose and the meaning of your own life.
If you are reading this book, you are most certainly ready for a change in
your life and for starting to be aware of and to utilize your specific gift in
order to learn all answers to these questions. If you are not ready you
would never have chosen to buy this book.
I am very much aware that many of you will have difficulties in
believing and accepting all of these facts which are being revealed to you,
perhaps, for the first time in your life. Particularly, many of you will
have difficulties in believing that physical illnesses are only a symptom
of a spiritual state of affairs or spiritual factors.
For those of you who are regular readers of the Holy Bible I would
like to remind you of something that Jesus Christ did and said. For those
of you who have never read the Holy Bible, it will give you a good
opportunity to do so right now.
As I mentioned before, all of these facts, revealed in this book, are
contained in the internal sense of the Holy Bible.
Do you remember that case where a man who was paralytic was
brought to Jesus Christ on a bed and lowered into the house from the top
of the roof because the people who brought him could not get to Jesus
Christ directly because of the multitude of people who surrounded him?
This event is recorded in three places: the Gospel according to Matthew,
chapter nine, verses two to six; the Gospel according to Mark, chapter
two, verses one to eleven; the Gospel according to Luke, chapter five,
verses seventeen to twenty-five. When Jesus Christ saw their faith and
effort, He said, “SON, BE OF GOOD CHEER; YOUR SINS ARE
FORGIVEN YOU.” Matthew 9:2. Now, why would Jesus Christ say that
first instead of directly healing the man of his severe physical condition?
He did it for two reasons: first, to bring our attention to the fact that
there are no physical illnesses of the body which could be originated in
the body but they are all of spiritual origin. Secondly, that the real cause
of any illness, including physical ones, is some sin or evil state that we
adopted or allowed to rule our life. Or, that we identified ourselves with
or that we have a wrong view, opinion, attitude or style of life which is
sinful; since all evils and falsities are sins. They all are the originating or
causative factor of any of our problems. So this saying, “YOUR SINS
ARE FORGIVEN,” is to say, in effect, your wrong spiritual style of life is
being corrected and therefore you can get well in all respects. And since
your physical problem is only a symptom or expression of your spiritual
condition, once that condition is corrected, the physical symptom
disappears and you are healed. After all, the body does not sin in itself
and by itself. It is the spirit and the soul in your body which sin and
cause your body to react in such a miserable and violent manner.
Or, do you remember that man at the Pool of Bethesda afflicted by
some kind of physical infirmity for thirty-eight years as recorded in the
Gospel according to John, in chapter five, verses one to fourteen? That
man was healed on the Sabbath day which was a thorn in the eyes of the
Pharisees. When Jesus Christ saw him for the second time, he said to the
man, “SEE, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE WELL. SIN NO MORE, LEST A
WORST THING COME UPON YOU.” Again, this case only confirms
what was said above about the origination of physical problems. And the
warning is very obvious: If you continue in your negative style of life, in
your wrong spirituality or no spirituality, a worse thing can happen to
you. This is the consequence of such a life.
But, there is another very interesting case described in the Gospel
according to John, chapter nine, verses one to three and in the entire
chapter. This is the case of a physically blind man. When the disciples of
Jesus Christ saw the man, they asked Jesus Christ, “WHO SINNED,
THIS MAN OR HIS PARENTS, THAT HE WAS BORN BLIND?” From
this question you can see that the disciples were aware of the fact that all
human problems, including physical ones, have spiritual origination.
After all, sin is a purely spiritual act, in the negative sense, of course.
But, Jesus Christ surprises them with the following answer, “NEITHER
THIS MAN NOR HIS PARENTS SINNED, BUT THAT THE WORKS
OF GOD SHOULD BE REVEALED IN HIM.”
In this case, there was no negative spiritual reason for the man’s
severe physical handicap, but instead, there was a strong positive
spiritual reason why he was born blind. Obviously, that man chose to be
born that way in order to be a channel for the Most High for revealing
the Most High’s works in him. Have you ever read the whole story about
this man in chapter nine of the Gospel of John? If not, I urge you to read
it right now, preferably in the New King James version. It is a very
educational story.
But, even in this case you can clearly see that the cause of that man’s
blindness was a spiritual one — to do the will of God by accepting a
mission to be born blind. This is a purely spiritual act and, of course, this
is a positive spiritual act as opposed to a sinful spiritual act.
From these examples, we can safely conclude that there are basically
two types of reasons behind all our problems, including physical
problems; both those reasons are purely spiritual. One reason is
negatively spiritual. If we disregard proper ways of spiritual life; if we
neglect or deny anything spiritual in us; if we adopt distorted spiritual
views; or if our attitudes, motivations, intentions, interactions, behavior,
thinking, willing, feeling, desires, wishes, wants, and treatment of God,
others and ourselves are wrong and non-spiritual; if our self-concept,
self-image, self-awareness is incorrect, improper and non-spiritual, we
bring upon ourselves all kinds of problems, that very often are
manifested in various physical illnesses.
The second source of our problems is a positively spiritual one. We
accept a specific mission from the Most High to exhibit certain problems
or behavior patterns so that the work of God and of God’s spiritual
principles can be manifested in us. Have you ever read, or heard of, or
seen or met anyone who was dying of cancer or some kind of other
mysterious physical disease and in whose case all medical treatment
failed and nothing could be done for that case? And then suddenly a
miraculous healing and cure would take place after that person placed
his/her case in the hands of God and used some spiritual methods of
healing?
These are the cases I am talking about. These are the people who
volunteered to do the work of God and to manifest the Lord’s spiritual
principles in such a vivid and illustrative manner.
I am told by the Most High that at the present time on planet Earth
eighty percent of people’s problems originate from the first cause:
negative spiritual causes — lack of spirituality, denial of God or
distorted, false, incorrect religions or perverted spirituality. And twenty
percent of people’s problems is the result of the second cause: positive
spiritual illustration of the work of God.
But, as you can see, both are subject to healing if you apply proper
methodology.
Is it not logical to think and to conclude that, if it is true that
everything originates from spiritual causes, then cures also should be by
spiritual means and that all treatment modalities should include
primarily spiritual tools, means and methodologies?
Why do you think that we have such a high degree of failure in the
traditional medical, psychological and physical treatment approach? The
simple answer to this question is that that treatment approach, in most
instances, disregards even the possibility of spiritual factors playing the
major role, if not the only role in all of this.
When I was first mentioning this possibility to my colleagues in the
therapeutic community most of them either laughed at me or considered
me to be crazy (psychotic, to use their term). Others would say behind my
back, “There goes weird Francuch who believes in the spiritual origin of
all human problems.”
But, such is the nature of the negative state. It keeps you in your own
spiritual blindness so that you will not discover the real truth and start
to do something about it to the point of changing yourself. This is one
thing the negative state does not want you to do: to find out the real
truth and to change yourself in accordance with that truth. The negative
state would lose hold over you if you would start to believe and to know
the truth and make yourself free from the bondage of materialism,
atheism, false religions, distorted spirituality or whatever you have.
In view of all these revealed facts, it can be obvious to you now that
the negative state or everything negative and problematical in your life
originated from the fact that you accepted a mission to experience the
states and conditions which either lack any spirituality or have distorted,
perverted, contaminated and polluted spirituality as reflected in all
presently existing religions, cults, brotherhoods and various other
pseudo-spiritual trends on planet Earth. (More on this issue, if you are
interested, see “Fundamentals of Human Spirituality,” “Messages From
Within,” and “Reality, Myths and Illusions.”)
As long as you are learning important spiritual lessons from your
negative and positive experiences, even though, in most instances, you
are not consciously aware of the process of this learning, you are subject
to remain as you are. It means that you do not want to change and that
you enjoy your life the way it is. Of course, it is a false enjoyment because
it stems from escapism; from the denial that anything is wrong with your
life. (Unless, of course, you are having positive experiences.) But if you
have no desire to change, then you are not reading these words right
now. If you are reading these words right now, you have learned your
lessons and you are ready to change and to start a life of real joy, delight,
pleasure and happiness. Of course, the reading of this book can be
considered only as an opportunity which is being given to you to do
something about yourself and your life. As a free human being, you have
all rights and privileges to refuse to take this opportunity to change and
disregard the entire content of this book as of no value to you. You truly
have the right and privilege to enjoy your miseries and your current self-
defeating lifestyle.
As you know, many people believe that all human problems and
miseries started with that story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
as described in chapter three of Genesis or the First Book of Moses in the
Holy Bible. These people really believe that there was one individual
person, whose name was Adam, and that there was another individual
person, his wife, whose name was Eve, and that they were tempted by
and listened to the serpent and took an apple from the tree and ate it;
and behold, in disobedience of God’s commandment they started
pandemonium and all the tragedies of humankind on the Earth. It is a
nice story and those people who want to believe its literal sense have all
rights and privileges to believe it the way it is literally written.
But what does it all really mean? Some of these meanings were
already explained in the previous two chapters.
First of all, there was no apple from the apple tree. Instead there was
a fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That God forbade
the eating of the fruits of that tree, under the penalty of death, signifies a
warning not to activate the negative state because of its dire
consequences for the entire Creation. The tree of the knowledge of good
and evil signifies the external part or the sensory, sensual part of human
beings or the external, outward mind that does not contain any real
truth or good in itself. Whatever good and truth it has stems from the
Inner Mind, that is, from the true Most High in the Inner Mind. The
serpent in the Garden of Eden signifies the idea in the human mind that
you can reject or deny the Most High and His/Her Love and Wisdom and
that you do not need to reciprocate or share that Love and Wisdom with
the Most High. Thus, the serpent signifies self-love, egoism, and love of
the external, outward matters that have no spiritual value and that
usually are equated with the love of this material world. The serpent’s
question (paraphrased), “Did God really forbid you to eat from the tree of
the knowledge of good and truth under the penalty of death?”, signifies
that important question which was formulated in the first chapter of this
book: What would life be like without any spirituality or if it could be
derived from any other source than the Most High and His/Her spiritual
principles? And the serpent’s answer that, “you would become like gods
knowing good and evil, and you would most certainly not die,”
(paraphrased) signifies that self-love and love for this world would come
to its fruition and you would be led by yourself and not by God. To
acquire new knowledge, not available until that time, seems to be good
and positive (Eve — feminine principle, found the fruit of the tree to be
edible and tasteful). That Eve gave it also to Adam — masculine
principle, who ate it and found it also good and pleasant, signifies that
the rational capacity of the human mind justifies, excuses and
rationalizes this act for the sake of learning.
Now, this is in brief, what one aspect of the part of this story, as
related to the content of this book, truly signifies. Of course, there are
nine more meanings to this story which are not appropriate to reveal at
this time. (You can read more on this in Swedenborg’s first volume of
“Heavenly Secrets” or “Arcana Celestia” and in my books, “Fundamentals
of Human Spirituality” and “Reality, Myths and Illusions.”)
From the above presented facts, you can now ask the following
question. How can all this be applied to my own private life or to
everyday living? The answer to this question will be given in the
following points:
1. THE ENTIRE CREATION LEARNS FROM YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
At one point, in no time and no space, a certain specific and unique
idea came to life related to the need to do something important in the
world which activated and put the negative state in dominance, as
described in the internal sense of that so-called story of Adam and Eve.
In the moment that idea came to life, it was asked whether it wanted to
be and to exist for this initial specific purpose. That idea was shown in
the moment of time, the entire plan for its life on planet Earth, and,
subsequently, its eternal continuation. Obviously, that idea agreed to be
and to exist for such a purpose. How do I know that it agreed? Because
that specific and unique idea is you. You are here, therefore, you agreed
to be here. Because you agreed to be a part of all this setup in the
negative state, whatever happens in it and whatever happens in your
personal life is very important for you to know and to understand so that
you can truly be yourself and serve the purpose for which you came here.
From your personal experience the entire Creation is learning
about the important aspects of the negative state. By your choice,
you are deeply involved in all of this even if you live alone somewhere on
this planet without coming into contact with other people too much.
However, you have to understand that many other intelligent beings
from various different dimensions whom you cannot see with your
physical eyes are constantly present with you no matter where you are.
Before you came here, you agreed by your own free will to have these
beings with you all the time so that they could transmit your
experiences, learning and lifestyle to the rest of Creation and to place it
in the Universality-Of-It-All for the purpose of the preservation of that
learning to eternity. The reason why it is necessary to preserve that
learning to eternity is so that no such state, experience, condition would
have to be repeated by anyone else. You have to remember that the
negative state will be activated only during this cycle of time. But what
about people from the previous and subsequent cycles of time? In order to
avoid the necessity of activating the negative state again in some other
cycle of time, and again going through these painful, miserable, lousy,
putrid and devastating atrocities and abominations that the negative
state produces, all experiences of all people throughout all regions of the
Zone of Displacement, from the very beginning of its activation to the
very moment of its de-activation, are and will be completely, totally and
very carefully recorded and placed in a permanent eternal storage in the
special condition and state called Universality-Of-It-All. In the future,
should a similar question ever arise again — what would life be like
without any spirituality, or with distorted spirituality — the answer
would be available immediately to anyone from the state of Universality-
Of-It-All.
The person or persons who would ask that question could get in tune
with everything that happened since the activation of the negative state
to its de-activation and personally re-experience, through the momentary
identification with you or your experiences and with all others and their
experiences, all aspects of the negative state. For this important reason
the negative state need not ever be activated again.
By your being here on this Earth and by your life experiences and
learning, you are continually contributing to this important, vital and
crucial task.
2. YOU CAN BECOME AN ILLUSTRATOR OF HOW TO FIND YOUR WAY HOME
There is another vital and crucial purpose for your being here and
why you personally are tied into all of this. If you are reading this book,
it means that somewhere along the line you volunteered also to show the
way for the agents and slaves of the hells, who are present on this planet
and in other regions of the Zone of Displacement, how to get out of the
negative state and back into the positive state. If you follow the
procedures, which you are going to learn from this book, you may start to
illustrate to everyone in all dimensions how to overcome, conquer and
subdue the negative state and not be overtaken by it, overwhelmed by it
or intimidated by it. You are here to illustrate by a living example that it
is possible to leave your home in the spiritual world and to come down to
the negative state and to lose your way and memories about your home
and yet, nevertheless, find your way back home to the spiritual world or
to the Kingdom of God which is within you. You can also illustrate how to
get out of the mess of the ninety-five percent of the animalistic pseudo-
mind, which is super-imposed on you by the original genetic and magical
manipulation of the pseudo-creators, and to find your way to the five
percent of your true and genuine human mind where your Inner Mind is
and where the Most High resides.
Thus, your everyday living and private life can become the channel
for this vital and crucial illustration. In the process of your learning how,
in the process of your finding your way back home, you will illustrate to
everyone in the negative state how to accomplish this.
3. YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL BEING AND EVERYTHING DERIVES FROM AND IS CAUSED BY THE SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES
In order that you may start to do something positive about your life,
it is very important for you to realize the truthfulness of the statements
in this chapter which reveal to you that everything derives from and is
caused by spiritual principles. Thus, you are a spiritual being. Your body
is only an external shell for your spirit, which shell was formed from the
stolen spiritual principles of the Most High by the pseudo-creators. If you
are not willing to accept this important fact, you will be continuously in
the state of being misled, misguided, misused, abused and used by
yourself and by others. You will constantly feel guilty, you will suffer,
feel miserable and nasty and you will be a slave to the negative state in
its present active form. The negative state does not want you to be
spiritual. It wants you to be physical, corporeal, external, materialistic,
atheistic or live in the falsities and evils of the pseudo-spiritual
principles. It wants you to be egoistic, inconsiderate, violent, self-
centered and miserable. By being this non-spiritual way, you are
pleasing and supporting the negative state, and you will have to go
through worse conditions that do not exist on planet Earth. Therefore,
instead of going back home, you will have to go into some other region of
the Zone of Displacement where the situation could be much worse and
with less opportunity to get out of the negative state. Remember what
Jesus Christ said to that man whom He healed at the Pool of Bethesda?
“SIN NO MORE, LEST A WORSE THING COME UPON YOU.” John
5:14. This is how all this is related to you personally.
4. NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WHAT IS AND IS NOT PROPER FOR YOU BUT YOUR INNER MIND
It is necessary for you to realize that the concept of “sin,” as
interpreted by various churches, is interpreted from the position of the
negative state. Therefore, those interpretations contain many distortions
and falsities. In some instances what they consider to be sin is not sin at
all and what they consider to be non-sinful could very well be sinful. The
only way you can find out for sure what is and what is not sinful for you
personally is by going inward to your Inner Mind and to the Most High
in your Inner Mind and ask about these issues and follow their advice.
No one else can tell you what is truly sinful for you but only the Most
High in your Inner Mind. You have to remember that you are a unique
human being and, therefore, no generalizations are possible in any
respect. What is proper for you might not be proper for others and what
is not proper for others might be proper for you. This is why it is not
appropriate to judge people in any respect. But the negative state,
disguised in various religious doctrines, imposes on you all kinds of guilt
feelings and states which very often unnecessarily constrict you, stifle
you, limit you, and restrict you to one rigid way of living your Earthly life
full of unhappiness, sadness and misery. If you agree to follow their
rules, you are personally contributing to the perpetuation of the negative
state.
5. YOU CAN PERSONALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE ELIMINATION OF THE NEGATIVE STATE
It is important for you to realize that the only way the negative state
with all its miseries, sufferings, atrocities and abominations can be de-
activated and returned to its original dormant condition, is through the
personal and private efforts of every single individual. The negative state
is not here or there but it is in your life, in your feelings, in your
thinking, in your will, in your intentions, in your motivations, in your
behavior, in your actions, in your desires, wishes, wants, in your attitude
and in all your problems.
So, how can you personally contribute to the elimination of the
negative state? By changing the mode of your life, of your thinking, of
your feelings, of your activities, of your attitudes, of your behavior, of
your treatments, of your motivation and intentions, and by getting rid of
all of your problems. No one else can do this for you. They are your
problems and only you can get rid of them.
But, in order to do this you first need to learn what your problems are
and why you have them, how they originated, how much you are
habituated to your problems and how to get rid of them. This book was
written for just that purpose: to show you why, what and how.
6. YOU ARE NOT STUCK WITH OR LOCKED IN ONE CONDITION FOREVER
Having all kinds of problems and being habituated to them does not
mean that you are stuck with them forever, or that you are locked in one
position or condition to eternity. When you were volunteering to come to
this world, it was with the agreement that you would not get stuck or be
locked forever in one state in which you would have to spend your
eternity in various regions of the Zone of Displacement (hells, for
example). There is always a way out for you even if you happen to be in
the deepest hells, so to speak.
Certain ways and procedures were established by the Most High for
those who are trapped in the negative state to the point of their full
identification with evils and falsities, to be unlocked from their accursed
position.
This condition is a request for a desire and need to change, confession
of your sins (find out what your specific “sins” are and confess them),
repentance from the bottom of your heart (full remorse for being
negative), and asking for mercy and forgiveness from the Most High in
your Inner Mind and for showing you the way out of your current
condition.
This is the only key by which you are capable of unlocking yourself
from your current locked-in, negative condition in the negative state.
However, it is not sufficient to say in general terms, “I confess my sins, I
repent, Lord, show mercy upon me and forgive me.” This kind of
generalization will lead you nowhere. It is necessary to examine yourself,
to explore yourself and to search yourself to find out what are those
specific “sins” that you need to confess and repent and ask for mercy and
forgiveness. You can do this only by going inward, into yourself and
asking the Most High in you to help you to realize things and manners
which are wrong, negative, problematical and sinful so that you can
remove them. You have to actively participate in their removal in order
to be forgiven and shown the way out of your locked-in position.
At the present time you are locked in the negative state. But because
no one can be locked forever in any state, unless one chooses to be in it
forever, you can now initiate the process of getting out of the negative
state and entering the positive state.
7. ALL YOUR LIFE PROBLEMS SERVE SOME USE, PURPOSE AND LEARNING
All problems that you have been having up to this point serve some
use, purpose and learning. It is a sign of deep wisdom and maturity to
ask, whenever you are in some kind of trouble, “How can I learn from
this experience in order to become a better human being and a more
spiritual human being?”, instead of asking foolish questions, “Why me?
How come I have to go through all this? Why is this happening to me?” If
all you do is ask these kinds of foolish questions you will learn nothing
and you will only feel more miserable and sorry for yourself.
When you start to approach anything in your life with the attitude of
“How can I learn from this experience in order to be a better human
being?”, you will suddenly become aware of how easily you can cope with
everyday problems in your life and at one point you will be in total
control and mastery of your life. You will be the one who will determine
what is going to happen in your life and how you will feel about all things
in your life, instead of the negative state.
Once you learn what purpose each of your problems served in your
life, you can get rid of that problem for good and forever. You no longer
need to have that problem or to be influenced negatively by that problem
ever again.
However, many people are habituated to their problems so much that
they desperately cling to them as though if they were to let go of them
they would die. They are right. Because, if they let go of those problems,
the problems would die and everything related in them to those problems
would also die. This is how the negative state can be eliminated from
your life.
8. YOU CANNOT BE A GOOD HUMAN BEING UNLESS YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL BEING
To be a better human being always means to be a spiritual human
being. From all those things which were revealed to you in these three
chapters, it is obvious that you are a spiritual being.
Therefore, you cannot be a good human being unless you are a
spiritual being. Remember, all miseries, negativity, falsities and all
kinds of evils were initiated from the condition of giving up the spiritual
principles of the Most High and starting a non-spiritual life. Thus, from
this it is clear that if you want to be a better human being and a happy
human being in all respects and ways, without any exception or
exclusion, you have first to be a spiritual being. The first follows the
other.
9. WHAT IS IT TO BE A SPIRITUAL HUMAN BEING?
But what is it to be a spiritual human being? To acknowledge the
existence of the Most High as the Creator of the entire Creation; to
acknowledge that everything positive and good and that all love, truth
and wisdom derive only from the Most High who is the Lord Jesus
Christ; to recognize that everything evil, bad, adverse, problematical and
negative stems from the denial of this fact about the Most High, the Lord
Jesus Christ. And to apply, live and practice all this in your own personal
life. Simple as that. This is a general description of what it is to be a
spiritual being. As far as what it is to be a spiritual being in your own
personal life, in a very specific sense for your own personality, you have
to find out from the Most High in your Inner Mind. How to do all this,
you will be shown in the next chapter.
To be a spiritual human being does not mean that you have to go to
the conventional churches, to say long prayers, to fast, to restrain
yourself from eating certain things, not to have sex or to walk with a sad,
sorrowful, serious countenance and similar nonsense. There is nothing
spiritual in such activities by themselves. To be a truly spiritual human
being is to be joyous, glad, happy, content, satisfied; to smile, to laugh, to
have fun, to have good sex, to feel good, to love and to be loved, to be
wise, to enjoy life in all its aspects be they spiritual, mental, emotional,
sexual or physical. This is what life was given to you for by the Most
High. And to acknowledge and accept the fact that all this goodness and
positiveness stems from the Most High in you and not from your own
merit. If you are like this, then you are a truly spiritual human being.
10. THERE ARE TWO EFFORTS OPPOSING EACH OTHER THAT OPERATE WITHIN YOU
It is important to realize that the Most High, who is in your Inner
Mind, continuously utilizes everything that is happening in your life, no
matter how good or bad it is, to liberate you from the slavery to the
negative state and to make you a more spiritual human being as defined
in points eight and nine. On the other hand, your pseudo-mind and its
pseudo-personality do everything in their power to keep you stagnant,
rigid, miserable and unhappy. They are always discouraging you, taking
you deeper and deeper into suffering, that is into hells. They always
oppose all efforts of the Most High and anything which is coming from
the Most High.
Therefore, once you realize this fact, it is your duty, right and
obligation to yourself and to others and, most importantly, to the Most
High to break out of your fake mind and fake personality and to make
contact with your real mind (five percent of the truly human in you) so
that you can actively contribute to become a more spiritual human being.
This is one of the purposes of your life on this planet. This is why you are
here, among other things.
11. YOUR LIFE IS NOT LIMITED TO THE EARTHLY LEVEL OF YOUR EXPERIENCES ONLY
From what you have so far learned you probably have started to
realize that your life is not limited to the Earthly level of experience only.
It is time that you fully realize that you reside simultaneously in many
worlds besides this planet even though you are not consciously aware of
this fact. The negative state, through the process of physical birth, closed
off your awareness of this fact when it put you in the state of ignorance.
But the true reality of your life’s situation is that by your pseudo-mind
you reside in and are in contact with the Zone of Displacement of the
spiritual world which is called hell. By your pseudo-interior mind you are
connected to the Zone of Displacement of the intermediate world; and by
your external mind, you reside in or are connected to the Zone of
Displacement of planet Earth. This is ninety-five percent of all your
connections and residences.
On the other hand, you reside and are in connection to the Most High
and heavens from the five percent in you which is truly human, from the
position of your Inner Mind. By your interior mind you are connected to
the intermediate world. And by your exterior mind you are connected to
the true natural world and the true planet Earth.
All these worlds and pseudo-worlds, that you are thus connected to,
are inhabited by all kinds of intelligent beings who are called by different
names such as, for example, archangels, angels, spirits, human beings,
demons, devils, Satan and by many other different names. These beings
are in constant communication with the respective levels of your true
mind and pseudo-mind.
One of the reasons why you are on this Earth is to learn to reverse
the process so that ninety-five percent of you can start to reside and to be
connected to the heavens, to the positive state, to the true Creation and
their inhabitants and only five percent of you can be connected to the
Zone of Displacement.
The other purpose of your being here is to learn how to become
consciously aware of those beings who are in constant contact with you so
that you can be helped by those in the positive state and be of help and
services to them and particularly to those who are residing in the
negative state. This is how you learn to share yourself on the multi-
dimensional universal level. This will help you to break out of the
limitations which were put on you by being on this Earth where you are
consciously aware of only the external world and people on this planet.
This is a very important step toward your liberation from the negative
state.
12. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR LIFE IS TO PROPERLY AND CORRECTLY KNOW YOURSELF
There is nothing more important in your life than to properly and
correctly know yourself and the purpose of your life here and anywhere
else. Once you start on the path of this knowledge, everything else
becomes very easy.
But, unfortunately, most people avoid seeking such knowledge
seriously. They are busy and preoccupied with everything else in this
world but themselves. Some people consider this kind of effort, that is to
seek the knowledge of their true self, to be dangerous, leading to
insanity. Of course, just the opposite is true. By not seeking this
knowledge, by avoiding themselves, this is what leads them to insanity
(for more on this issue see “Messages From Within”). The problem with
this kind of knowledge for people is that it requires you to go inward into
yourself. There is no other way to acquire that knowledge. No one has
knowledge of you, but you. Only you can know yourself. However, the
negative state in you keeps you busy elsewhere so that you will not have
time to learn how to go inward in order to discover and know yourself
better. In the moment that you do that, the negative state starts to be
eliminated from your life.
Thus, it is impossible to find joy and happiness in your life without
the effort of going inward for the purpose of knowing yourself. But, it is
also impossible to do anything constructive about the elimination of the
negative state from your being and existence unless you go inward to
yourself. That it was possible to keep you outside of yourself at all, is the
result of your identification with the negative state. This is the reason
why, if you want to be free from everything negative and adverse in your
life, you have to learn how to properly communicate with your true self
and learn from it and from the Most High in it the answer to the
question of who you are, why you are here and what the purpose of your
life is and all other related issues.
13. YOU CAN LEARN THE TRUTH ONLY BY KEEPING YOUR MIND AND HEART OPEN AND BROAD
Once again, it is necessary to repeat that the only way that you can
learn the truth about yourself and your life is by keeping your mind and
heart open; and by putting aside all superstitions, prejudices and biases
of your parental, school, religious and any other type of up-bringing
together with externals, impositions and belief systems adopted by you.
Do you remember the very first lesson which was formulated at the very
beginning of the first chapter of this book? Whatever you learned so far
in your life is all wrong or distorted. This means that the process of going
inward is also the process of the unlearning of everything that you so far
learned because it is totally false or distorted. This claim will not be easy
to accept by everyone. Very often we pride ourselves in what we know or
what we think we know. If you lose this kind of knowledge then what
will you have? But remember, it is a false knowledge and, therefore,
there is nothing to be proud of. You should also congratulate yourself on
the opportunity which is being given to you to get rid of all that false
knowledge and to replace it with true knowledge.
All I can suggest to you is to try out the procedures which are being
offered to you in this book and check it out from within yourself.
If whatever is presented to you in this book will not be confirmed by
your Inner Self, you can always revert to your previous knowledge and
your pride in it without any danger or harm. And then see what happens.
