CHAPTER SIX
ON SOME GENERAL TRENDS OF THE NEGATIVE STATE
I am told by the Most High to share the following thoughts and ideas
with all who are interested. They were outlined to me in early morning
meditation on February 23, 1983. These ideas are related to some
general trends of the negative state with which people have a tendency to
identify themselves. Such an identification is dangerous because it leads
to various kinds of insinuations in their lives of the negative spirits that
need to be exorcised should such identification be detected within oneself
or within those people that one works with in treatment or spiritual
counseling.
At this time there are eight points that will be considered.
1. In the negative state the trend is always to seek out differences, to
be separated, to be isolated, to be split and to be disunited from everyone
else. No common points, no commonality of all is emphasized or sought
out. This is a dangerous trend because it leads one to the ultimate state
of self-love, not love of self, but self-love, selfishness, egoism. It is a direct
key for opening the door for insinuation of the negative entity in one’s
life. On the other hand, the positive state has a trend that seeks out
continuously some common grounds, some common points with everyone
else in Creation so that there is a unity in diversity, there is a concept of
being many parts of the same whole. The common point which unites
everyone in the positive state of Creation is the eternal presence of the
Most High within everyone. One relates to the Most High within oneself
and one relates to the Most High’s presence within everyone else in
Creation. This tendency unites and makes one and harmonious the
entire side of the positive state of Creation.
Since in the negative state emphasis is on differences and isolation
and separation instead of on commonality from the presence of the Most
High in everyone, the negative state blocks people, by that virtue, from
the discovery of that common trend which we all have, the presence of
the Most High within us.
2. In the negative state whatever one does, one does for one’s own
sake, with little or any regard for the Most High or for anyone else. The
starting point of doing something is always what use can it be for me,
and not what use can it be for mutual benefit, common good, and sharing
with all for the sake of all and most importantly for the sake of the Most
High. In the negative state, if one does something for the Most High or
others, it is with regard to oneself, for one’s own sake and not for their
sake. Thus the motivating factors of activities in the negative state are
always selfish, self-centered and self-directed.
Identification with such a trend is a direct opening of the door for
insinuation of a negative entity in one’s life which continuously feeds,
fuels and maintains that kind of tendency. This is a dangerous trend
because it can be very subtly disguised by false modesty and humbleness
and humility and especially by charity. Doing things seemingly for the
sake of others and the Most High but, in fact, inwardly, it is done for the
sake of recognition, reputation and good standing and any other similar
ulterior motivations.
On the other hand, in the positive state there is a trend that
whatever one does one does it for the sake of the Most High and for the
sake of others and for the sake of mutual benefit, common good and
sharing and mutual use for all. In the positive state whatever one does
for oneself it is with regard that one does it for the sake of others and for
the sake of the Most High. One loves oneself because one wants to love
the Most High and one wants to love others. If one doesn’t love oneself,
one cannot love the Most High and others. And this is the true
motivational factor that rules the life of everyone in the positive state.
3. There is a very dominant or predominant trend in the negative
state and that is that whatever is done, whatever is conceived in the
negative state, is done and conceived always from the position of without,
from externals, that is from expectations, anticipations, rules and
regulations that are defined and established from the position of outside,
from without, from the externals. These trends lead to the build up of
illusory self-concepts and self-images that people have about themselves
which shuts them off from the discovery of the internals where the real
self-concepts and self-images can be built and acquired from the presence
of the Most High within. The identification with these trends leads again
to the opening for insinuation of negative spirit or entities in one’s life
that fuel, support and keep one in the outside, in continuous illusion and
self-deception about oneself and others and the Most High.
On the other hand, in the positive state, whatever is built or done, is
always done from the position from within, from the reality of the eternal
presence of the Most High within everyone that regulates all events and
that allows one to acquire a true and positive and right and correct
self-concept and self-image which then, in turn, is projected to the
outside, to the externals for sharing with everyone in the spirit of mutual
benefit, common good and common use.
Thus in the positive state the true self is built from the presence of
the Most High, by the presence of the Most High, through the presence of
the Most High and with the presence of the Most High within the totality
of one’s being and existence. And since such presence is the only true
reality, one derives a true self-concept and self-image and one avoids
being ruled by illusions and deceptions. Of course, the negative state has
just the opposite trend, because nothing there is built or done or
conceived from internals but from fabrications of the externals that are
subsequently imposed on one’s style of life and then one chooses to have
no choice but to identify oneself with such fabrications, become such
fabrications and bear the consequences of such devastating identification
with those fabrications.
4. The trend in the negative state is that everything is conditional.
Whatever is done, whatever is concocted in the negative state is always
conditional. It depends always on certain considerations that exclude the
totality of one’s essence and substance, one’s being and existence so that
in the negative state when one relates to anyone it is like relating from
the position of the closed book. I will open myself only as much as I feel
that it is beneficial and useful for me, and deny and reject, and deceive
and become dishonest by claiming that this is all I have. Thus the
negative state is very secretive, always holding back in order that one
doesn’t share unconditionally everything that one has or possesses. This
leads to the development of deception, denial and dishonesty toward
others and oneself which, in turn, leads to the position of self-exclusion
that only “I have the right to possess and to know certain things and
because of that false appropriation of such right I am not going to share
myself or that knowledge or whatever I possess with anyone else. I will
determine to what extent and how much I will share or do or reveal.” Do
you notice how secretive the negative state is? Look at the KGB, look at
the CIA, the IRS and all those organizations of hells that are established
on planet Earth, how secret they are, under the disguise of national
security and various other abominations of the negative state. And, of
course, under existing conditions on planet Earth this is the only way
that is at this time feasible and possible. Of course, identification with
such ideas and trends is one of the devastating manners through and by
which the negative entities insinuate themselves in people’s life and fuel
and motivate and support these kinds of trends and attitudes.
Now, in the positive state the trend is that everything there is
unconditional. Everyone is an open book. I am an open book, therefore
everybody can read me page by page and I share myself unconditionally
without any exclusivity, without any denial, dishonesty, disception,
without holding anything back. This is a great delight and pleasure that
I can completely and totally share myself and everything that I have
with everyone unconditionally. The eternal presence of the Most High is
in such a stance because the Most High shares Himself/Herself
unconditionally with everyone else to the degree and the extent of
people’s ability to accept His/Her unconditional sharing.
5. In the negative state there is a trend that whatever one does or
feels or comes up with is and can be validated only by an approval,
acceptance, admiration and recognition by others. Thus validation is not
done by, through, with and from the Most High, from the position within
the Inner Mind, but instead by what other people say, how other people
react, how other people accept, or approve or admire whatever one comes
up with. Notice, please, that lack of such support, acceptance, approval,
admiration and so forth leads to a devastating condition of depression,
misery, suffering, worthlessness, self-denial and ultimate suicide. This is
a dangerous trend because identification with such attitudes opens the
door for very strong insinuation of negative entities that fuel, feed,
support and motivate everyone to feel that way and to be dependent on
other’s approval, acceptance, admiration and validation.
On the other hand, on the positive side, the trend is that the only
approval, admiration, or acceptance of one’s actions, ideas, thoughts
always come from within, from the presence of the Most High. Therefore
they come directly from the Most High, by the Most High, through the
Most High and with the Most High. From such a position and stance, of
course, there is no lack of acceptance because one accepts the Most High
within oneself. From that position, because one accepts that, one accepts
the Most High in others. This leads to total mutual acceptance, mutual
respect and mutual consideration. Thus no idea even crosses their mind
to be approved, accepted, admired and worshiped in their ideas, thoughts
and deeds from the externals because everyone there does everything
from the Most High, by the Most High, through the Most High and with
the Most High from within, therefore everyone is valuable, positive and
worthy. So, as you can see, in the positive state there is no idea or need
to be approved, accepted, admired and worshiped by others for whatever
one does. One does things for the sake of the principle because this is the
way it is without any need for approval and acceptance by others from
externals. Since externals derive from internals, the internal approval
simultaneously means external approval so that one doesn’t have to turn
oneself outward, waste one’s time and energy for seeking out approval
where there is no approval.
6. There is a tendency in the negative state for people to seek out in
other people, as a trend, only that which is negative, which is bad, which
is wrong, which is weak, which is sensitive, which is adverse. They have
tendencies to emphasize these kinds of aspects of one’s personality.
Usually this is done with the tendency to put people down for the
purpose of condemnation, rejection and denial of anything good and
positive in people in order that one can look as good and positive and
admirable from one’s own position for the purpose of self-elevation,
self-admiration, self-aggrandizement, self-importance, self-exclusivity,
self-righteousness and so on and so forth. The principle here is that “I am
right and everyone is wrong.” Therefore, in order to prove that this is
true, that I am right and everybody else is wrong, it is necessary that I
seek out in people only negative things, bad things, wrong things which
lead me to the conclusion that, because they are bad, wrong and
negative, they cannot be right and, therefore, only I am right and they
are all wrong. The arrogance of this stance, the rudeness and
megalomania of this stance is very obvious and this is a favorite way, if
people identify themselves with this stance and trend, for the negative
spirits to insinuate themselves into people’s lives and rule and influence
their lives in that direction.
Now, on the positive side, there is a general trend that members of
the positive side always emphasize in people everything that is good,
that is positive, that is right, that is correct, that is creative, productive,
constructive and contains in such attributes the presence of the Most
High. Therefore the emphasis is always on the presence of the Most
High. While in the negative state the emphasis is always on the presence
of the devil, on the presence of the negative state, on the presence of
wrongness, in the positive state, emphasis is always on the presence of
the Most High and subsequently on everything that is positive and good.
Therefore, in the positive state no condemnation, no judgment, no denial,
no refusal, no writing off of people is possible, conceivable or even can
come to their mind. Such ideas, occurring in their mind, are an
abomination and they abhor even thinking about them. Thus in the
positive state the principle is: because everybody contains the eternal
presence of the Most High within oneself, within one’s Inner Mind,
everybody, even in the negative state, has the potentiality to be right
regardless of how evil and negative one’s situation is at the moment.
Here the emphasis is on the potentiality of being right, which is the basis
or foundation from which one can recede from one’s evil and falsity or
from one’s being wrong. Therefore, no one is ever put down in the
positive state or from the positive state in the negative state and there is
no desire, wish or even idea that is conceived of self-elevation,
self-admiration, self-aggrandization, self-importance because everybody
is important, everybody is admirable, everybody is different, everybody is
unique, everybody is special and everybody is equal and everybody is
valuable because everyone carries within themselves the unique
manifestation and presence of the Most High in their Inner Mind.
7. In the negative state there is a peculiar trend that everything that
is happening in human life or in life in general, in the pseudo-life to be
precise, is controlled by situations, by events and by externals. The funny
thing about it here is that one does not control the situation, happenings
and events of one’s life but one is controlled by them. One is almost
determined by situations, events, environments and externals. Thus one
is enslaved to the situations and doesn’t have a mastery over one’s life
from this position. Therefore in the negative state the illusion is that one
is not the master of one’s life, one is not the center of one’s own universe
but instead one is a toy of forces and situations that are beyond one’s
control. This is again a dangerous situation because it leads to the
acceptance of the idea that the negative state is inevitable and therefore
it’s futile to combat it. Now, the identification with such an idea is again
a nice opening of the door for insinuation of negative entities in one’s life
that dominate and control people and one really becomes a toy in the
game playings of the negative state.
On the other hand, in the positive state the situation is entirely the
opposite. One is in control of every situation, of every event because one
determines by one’s choice what the situation will be, what the content of
the situation is, what the use of that situation is and what kind of events
and happenings are necessary in order that mutual benefit, common
good and sharing can occur and take hold with all in the Most High’s
Creation. Thus in the positive state, all events, situations and
happenings are the result of one’s internals or one’s ideas that
continuously occur in one’s Inner Mind from the presence of the Most
High, by the presence of the Most High, through the presence of the Most
High and with the presence of the Most High in one’s Inner Mind.
8. And the last trend, number eight, is that everything in the negative
state is built on the principles of projections and excuses. By seeking out
only the negative aspects in others, as was pointed out in trend number
six, one justifies and excuses one’s own negativity and accepts negativity
as a way of life; in fact, as a normal way of life. The principle here is that,
if I look around and see that everybody does things that are generally
considered to be not appropriate and are condemnable or negative, since
everyone else does it, then I have the right to do the same thing and
therefore I should not feel bad or do anything to change because
everybody cheats, everybody lies, everybody deceives, and so on and so
forth ad infinitum. This is a nice way of substantiation, justification,
rationalization and excuse for the negative state. This is another reason
why people tend to seek out in others only the negative aspects so that
they can justify their own negativity.
On the other hand, in the positive state whatever one projects, if one
projects, it’s always positive, good, stemming from the Most High, from
internals that tends to seek out the common points, the presence of the
Most High in others for the purpose of unification, oneness and harmony
in order that the greater mutual benefit, common good and use could
ensue from such relationship.
Again the identification with this negative situation, negative trends
is one of the best ways for insinuation of negative entities in one’s life
that support, fuel and maintain this kind of projection and abomination,
justification, excuses and rationalizations of the negative state’s
existence and being.
Therefore, in approaching people, it is important, particularly when
one is treating them or counseling them, to be aware of these points and
any other points and possibilities of very subtle and cunning insinuations
of negative entities through such false identifications as mentioned
above.
