"It is completely and utterly amazing to me that someone can study my teachings, even the incomplete teachings found in the New Testament, and conclude that the only road to salvation goes through an outer organization and an outer doctrine. How can anyone fail to see that I did not come to create a totalitarian organization or to bring forth a closed and closed-minded outer doctrine?

Why do you think I repeatedly rebuked the religious authorities of my time? Why do you think these religious authorities considered me to be such a grave threat that they repeatedly plotted to kill my body and eventually succeeded? The authorities of the Jewish religion wanted to get rid of me because I was the ultimate threat to their power structure.

I rebuked those who set themselves up as the only doorway between human beings and God. They created a belief system which stated that no human being could get to God without going through the orthodox religion and its hierarchy of human beings. They created a belief system which stated that unless a person believed in the outer doctrines, that person would not be saved.

I came to overthrow that closed system. I came to denounce the people who had set themselves up as the link between God and the people. I came to overthrow the power structures and to expose the power plays. I came to restore the key of knowledge which these people had taken away in an attempt to control the population."

"It is completely and utterly amazing to me that some people can seriously believe that the teachings I gave forth 2,000 years ago represent the ultimate or highest teachings that God could ever bring forth on this planet.

Let me make this absolutely clear. The teachings that I gave 2,000 years ago were not the highest or ultimate teachings that God can bring forth on this planet. My teachings were nothing more than the highest teachings that could be brought forth at the time, given humankind’s state of consciousness.

My teachings were incomplete, and they were limited in many ways. That limitation was not due to a limitation on the part of God or on the part of his mouthpiece, meaning myself. That limitation was due to the fact that humankind was not ready to receive a higher teaching. One might say that my teachings represent a measured response to a crisis. It was not the highest possible response; it was the highest practical response.

Today, humankind has progressed to a higher state of consciousness, and therefore I can now bring forth a higher teaching than I did 2,000 years ago. This book is but one chapter in my teachings for this new age.

Yet despite the fact that humankind has progressed, the people of today are still in a very limited state of consciousness. God is, and always has been, unlimited.

The gap between the limited consciousness of human beings and the unlimited consciousness of God, is, figuratively speaking, almost unlimited. Yet God created human beings in his own image and likeness. A human being has the capacity of consciousness to experience the fullness of God. Yet to experience that fullness a human being must rise above the state of consciousness that is dominated by limitations, relativity and mortality.

The true meaning of the statement that you cannot serve two masters is that you cannot be in two states of consciousness at the same time. The lower consciousness – what my beloved Paul called the “carnal mind” but which I prefer to call the “death consciousness” – simply cannot fathom the reality of God. It will never be able to fathom the reality of God."

The brutal fact about the current state of affairs on planet earth is that human beings have accepted so many lies, so many erroneous concepts, so many unbelievable ideas that even I, Jesus, find it difficult to know where to begin. You have grown up in a culture that is so permeated by erroneous concepts that one might say that your mind is encaged in a labyrinth. The labyrinth has many blind alleys, and it has only one way that leads to the center of being.

I clearly see that human beings are entrapped in a jungle of lies. I also know the truth and reality of God. The problem is that in trying to impart this truth to you, I must begin at your present level of consciousness. I cannot possibly give you truth in its purest form because in your present state of consciousness your imagination simply cannot cope with that truth. Likewise, your free will cannot accept a truth that is so different from the lies and errors that you have come to accept and that you have incorporated into the very fabric of your being—your sense of identity.

Please take a look at the Bible. Please recognize that the Law of Moses was given to a group of people who were trapped in a very low state of consciousness. That is why this law is a set of commandments, saying: “do this” and “don’t do that.” It was given to spiritual children who needed a very simple set of rules. It was aimed at changing their outer actions.

Now, compare the Law of Moses to the higher law that I brought forth in the Sermon on the Mount and other teachings. For example, I said that it is not enough to abstain from the outer act of adultery. You must overcome the state of consciousness that makes you desire to commit adultery. In other words, it is not enough that you do not commit an outer act that is wrong. You must rise above the state of consciousness in which you desire to commit such an act. My teachings attempted to transform people’s state of consciousness.

For anyone with an open mind, it should be easy to see that the teachings I gave 2,000 years ago represented a progression compared to the Law of Moses. The reason for this progression is that between the time of Moses and my appearance in Israel, humankind had progressed. Humankind had risen to a higher state of consciousness, and therefore people were now ready to receive a higher understanding and a higher teaching; even a higher law.

"My beloved, there are quite a number of you who have followed these teachings for years, who have made significant progress in overcoming things in your psychology, most of you still have things in your psychology that you are not quite ready to look at. But you understand that there is a certain stage on the path where it is not only legitimate but absolutely necessary that there are certain things you do not look at in your psychology, because you are not ready to deal with it.

As we have said, there are 144 levels of consciousness. For each level, there is an illusion in your own psychology that you need to look at. But if you are at the 87th level, you are not ready to deal with the illusion at the 120th level. No one is. This is simply the mechanics of the path and you cannot blame yourself and you cannot blame others for not being at a higher level than where they are at.

What you can do is look at yourself and make a decision that you are willing to deal with the issues in your psychology that you are ready to deal with right now. And if you make that decision, you will know what those issues are. Because they will be affecting you every day and affecting how you feel about yourself and how you feel about other people and how you feel about life on this planet.

You see the next level, the second level of Christ discernment is the emotional level of sensing these energies. There are temporary vortexes that people are pulled into. But there are also ongoing emotional vortexes. There is an ongoing emotional vortex of anger throughout the world, but more in some regions than others. Again, the Middle East is an example of how this anger has been perpetuated from generation to generation for thousands of years.

There is another big vortex, which is sexual energy, where people are pulled into feeling an artificial need to have sex, promoted by movies, TV series, commercials, books, all of these things that make you feel like you should be having sex more often than you are, or you should be wanting to have sex all the time. And this of course, is not natural. It is not even natural at the physical level. But it is certainly not natural at the emotional level to have your base chakra constantly stirred up with sexual energy, so that you, as Astrea said in a previous webinar, are addicted to sex. This is also things you can look at and see how this might have affected you.

There is also in the seat of the soul chakra, there are certain vortexes that make you feel that you should be taking life seriously. You cannot be creative because creativity is not rational. It does not make money, it does not do anything. You cannot be playful anymore, you are an adult now. You cannot play anymore, you should not be like a child. There are these ongoing matrices that stir up the base chakra, the seat of the soul chakra and the solar plexus chakra in order to pull you into this negative reaction.

There is even an ongoing vortex that pulls on your heart chakra to distort love, where you should have a certain attitude towards love relationships, you should behave a certain way if you are a loving person, and it is absolutely wrong not to be a loving person. So, if somebody accuses you of this, you have to tie knots in yourself in order to not be accused of being an unloving person and all of these things.

These are things you can begin to look at in the more long term. But the first task is to look at yourself and see if you are being pulled into these solar plexus reactions of anger and agitation either on a personal level or on the level of society, certain religions, ideologies, political figures, what have you, that are pulling on you to feel anger against a certain scapegoat, a certain other group of people. This is clearly the most destructive example of these emotional vortexes, where you direct anger against other people, and even may be encouraging or performing violence against them. When anger builds to a certain level a large group of people on this planet cannot refrain from violence. Anger building to a certain critical intensity will lead to violence in at least a third of the people currently embodied on earth.

You, if you are serious about walking the path to Christhood, do not want to be among them. For this will not further your Christ discernment."

"I have been with this planet for a very long time. I have seen everything there is to see. I have seen every aspect of the lower state of consciousness that I call the death consciousness. If you desire to be my true disciple, you must realize that the central, in a way the only, key to discipleship under me is that you must overcome the death consciousness.

This is a twofold process. You must overcome the lower consciousness and at the same time you must unite with the higher consciousness. My beloved Paul said: “I die daily!” He meant that a part of his human mind, his death consciousness, died every day. Paul also said that you must put off the old human and put on the new human. He meant that you must put off the death consciousness and put on the Christ consciousness.

This is a process that will take time, and it must happen gradually. If you were to be stripped of the death consciousness all at once, your soul would be thrown into an identity crises. You would no longer know who you were; you would lose all sense of continuity and identity. You would literally go insane. This has in fact happened to people who discovered the spiritual path and attempted to force the process of spiritual growth. They attempted to take Heaven by force and in so doing they invoked so much light from Above that they were not able to hold that light. Instead of raising them up, the light damaged their sense of identity.

The very essence of my message is to point out to you that there is an alternative to the way of life practiced by most people on this planet. Some religious people claim that everything is subject to the will of God, and therefore there is nothing you can do to change who you are. God created you, and that is it. Some scientific authorities claim that your personality, your identity, is the product of environmental and hereditary factors over which you have no control. Both of these belief systems are incomplete.

Obviously, some of the characteristics of this universe are the products of the will of God. Therefore, your personality and individuality are to some degree affected by the will of God. Your personality and individuality are also affected by your heritage and the environment in which you grew up. However, the essential point that I am trying to get across is that you do not have to live the rest of your life as a slave of circumstances beyond your control. You have the potential to take control over your destiny and rebuild your identity. You have the potential, and it is a potential given to you by God himself, to reshape your destiny, to change your psychology and to remake your sense of identity in the image and likeness of God."

"I would like you to consider why there is religion in this world. Do you think that God needs religion? Do you think that the Being who created an incredibly vast and complex universe has some kind of need to be worshiped by human beings living on a planet that is like a speck of dust in infinity? I am not hereby saying that human beings are not important to God. I am simply saying that God is an unlimited, infinite Being, and God does not have human needs. The idea that God needs to be worshiped is yet another example of backwards reasoning.

The simple fact is that God has no need to be worshiped by human beings. Religion was not created for God’s sake. It was created for your sake.

The simple fact is that God does not need religion. Human beings need religion, and it is very important that you understand why. God created you in his image and likeness. You have the capacity of consciousness to experience the fullness of God’s infinite Being. Yet as your lifestream decided to descend into the material universe, you faced a challenge that is quite severe.

You must understand that my Father’s house has many mansions. By that I mean that there many different levels of God’s creation. Modern scientists have found that the entire material universe is made from energy. Energy is vibration.

You know that your eyes can detect only the types of energy which you call visible light. You also know that there are many forms of light, and many other forms of energy, that your eyes cannot detect. Therefore, there are many different layers or levels of vibration. In fact, one might consider that the totality of God’s creation is a vast, but not unlimited, continuum of vibrations.

Visible light is simply part of a continuum of vibrations. Your eyes can see only one pocket of that continuum. Likewise, the material universe is simply one pocket in a larger continuum of vibrations. Your senses, and the lower consciousness of the human mind, can perceive and fathom only a small pocket of the continuum of vibrations that comprise God’s creation. That small pocket is what you call the material universe.

The only difference between visible light and invisible light is a difference in vibration. The only difference between the material universe and higher levels of God’s creation is a difference in vibration. The only difference between Heaven and earth is a difference in vibration.

There are no impenetrable barriers in God’s continuum of vibrations. There is a dividing line between the vibrations of the material universe and the vibrations of the lowest level of the spiritual universe, the level that is right above the material universe in vibration. That dividing line is not an impenetrable barrier. However, your physical senses and the death consciousness will never be able to cross that dividing line. Therefore, to the physical senses and the death consciousness, there seems to be a barrier between the material world and the spiritual world."
