Are
you serving a dead god or the Living God?
Restoring
the WORD 2
A discourse by Nada
NOTE: This dictation was
delivered on April 6, 2007 during the Shangra-la Easter Conference.
The participants had given the Rosary for Clearing the Heart LINK prior
to the dictation.
My beloved hearts, you have
earned a visitation from the Chohan of the sixth ray, Nada is my name.
I do not often get an opportunity to speak on Earth. And the reason
for this is that so few people on Earth have understood and embodied
the qualities of the sixth ray, which is truly the ray of ministration
and service—service to all life, service to the God in all life.
My beloved, Jesus came on the sixth ray of ministration and service
to set forth an example of service, true service, which is the service
that seeks to raise up all life. What has happened to the example and
the teachings of Jesus is that those who did not have the true desire
to serve all life perverted those teachings and that example –
that unique, magnificent example of service – and they created
their graven image of service.
And so you see, my beloved, there are many people throughout the world
who think they are giving service. There are many people in the Christian
movement who think they are giving service, and they will claim any
day – 24 hours a day if you care to listen to them babble
on about their own greatness – they will claim that they are serving
God. But my beloved, they are not serving the true God, the Living God.
They are serving the graven image of God that has been created on this
planet and that has been reinforced by many religions, but in the Western
world, especially through the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Serving a false God
That graven image is the image of the remote God in the sky, in many
cases the angry God in the sky who judges everyone and condemns those
to hell who do not follow his law as robots. But you see, my beloved,
that God – although that God does exist – is
not the real God. It is a false God that has been created, not simply
on this planet, not simply in this universe, but as Maitreya explains
in his book, it has been created in a higher sphere and has gradually
fallen into this sphere, where it has now become the dominant image
of God that people hold on this planet—the remote being, the external
God.
And so, my beloved, millions of people around the world firmly and truly
believe in the illusion that because they are engaged in this or that
religion, because they are doing this or that work prescribed by their
religion, they are serving God. And they are serving the false God,
the remote being in the sky, but they are not serving the Living God.
And my beloved, here is why—the Living God is not remote. For
without him was not anything made that was made. And so, my beloved,
it is even in the Christian Bible that God is in everything that was
ever made. And yet, were the Christians to hear or read this teaching
they would say, “Oh, but that is Pantheism. That is a pagan teaching.”
And so it is, but it is also a true teaching that was falsely banned
as heresy by the Catholic church fathers.
For you see, my beloved, if God is in everything and if the kingdom
of God is within you, then why would you need an outer church to come
between you and God? And so those who are the beings who fell in higher
spheres and have descended to Earth and who are trying to set themselves
up as gods on Earth, created the graven image of the remote God. For
you see, my beloved, only if people believe that God is remote can they
fall for the illusion that they need an external church in order to
reach God.
For when you realize the truth, and the full meaning of Jesus’
statement that the kingdom of God is within, you realize that you do
not need an outer church in order to enter the inner kingdom. This,
my beloved, is not to say that you cannot benefit from a religious activity,
a spiritual activity. But you can benefit ONLY if that activity seeks
to open your heart, so that you can attain the inner contact with the
God within, with the kingdom of God within. And if a spiritual movement,
organization, truly fulfills that original goal, then it can be extremely
beneficial, and it can be very beneficial for people to come together
in a community.
The perversion of spiritual organizations
Yet, so far on this Earth, what has happened to every spiritual organization
is that, after some time, it has fallen prey to the manipulations of
those who are trapped in the duality consciousness and therefore do
not truly want to serve all life. They want to claim to serve God, but
it is the external remote being in the sky that they serve. And therefore,
my beloved, they need you to keep believing in the illusion of the external
God.
These are the ones that Jesus talked about when he talked about the
hypocrites, who prayed in the streets to be seen of men, who fasted
and walked around with distorted faces so everyone could see that they
were fasting. Or those who paraded themselves in the temples, in the
synagogues, as always being the superior, the wiser ones, because they
knew all this intellectually and they did all the outer things right.
Yet as Jesus said, “Your heart is far from me.” For they
had not cleared their heart of the anti-love that had entered that heart
at some distant time, when they chose to separate themselves from the
teacher of love—whoever that teacher was, in whatever
sphere they separated
themselves.
God cannot be grasped by the intellect
So you see, my beloved, the clearing of the heart is the key to overcoming
the duality consciousness and the illusion of the remote God. For, my
beloved, you can see all manner of people in the world – whether
they be in a formal religion or not – you can see all manner of
people who believe they have God all figured out with the intellect.
Some believe that they have intellectually proven that God does
not exist. Some believe they have intellectually proven that God
does exist. But, my beloved, both are wrong.
Surely, that will sound startling to some—that I can say that
those who believe they have intellectually proven God’s existence
can be wrong. But you see, their conclusion is not wrong, for God does
exist. But what is wrong is two things. First, the God, the image of
God, that they think they have proven is the graven image of the remote
God. For, my beloved – the second thing – the intellect
cannot fathom the real God. For the Living God is beyond the intellect
and beyond all intellectual reasoning, all analysis, all comparison.
God is incomparable, and the intellect works by analyzing through comparison.
Something is right, something is real, in comparison to something else.
Yet God cannot be compared to anything else, especially not anything
in this world. For when you compare God to anything in this world, what
do you do? Yes, my beloved, you create a graven image. And now you say,
“Oh this is the way God is. Now we have figured God out, we have
created a neat little mental box, we have put a label on it that says
‘God’ and now we think the real God is going to jump into
the box and pretend that he can fit inside of it.”
The master key to true service to life
But you see, my beloved, the Living God is the God that is in all, and
therefore those who claim to be serving God, meaning the remote God,
are simply deluding themselves. For you see, my beloved, there is a
remote God, as Maitreya explains. There is a being in a higher realm
that is the Creator of this system of worlds. Yet my beloved, that being
is also in everything in this world of form. For everything in this
world is created out of the being of the Creator.
And so you see, my beloved, all is God. It is simply two different manifestations
of God. And so, those who claim to be serving the remote God will say,
“Ah, but we are serving the Creator. And that is why we are doing
all these religious activities, and we are walking around in our elaborate
vestments, and we are doing chants, and we are burning incense and we
are giving prayers, for we are worshiping God.”
But you see, my beloved, the Creator does not need to be worshiped.
The Creator is the All, what could the Creator possible need from human
beings on Earth?
You have seen this presentation of the images from the universe.* And
surely, when you see the vastness of the universe, you realize that
the Earth is so small. This is not to say that the Earth is insignificant.
But it should give you a sense of co-measurement that the God that has
created this vast universe – which as you all know is only one
part of the totality of this world of form – that God could
not possibly need to be worshiped. How could that God need to have somebody
in a church on Earth burn incense, and light candles, and say prayers?
So you see, my beloved, the true service to God is not service to the
remote God, whatever image you have of that God. No, the true service
to life is to serve the God who is in everything in this world of form,
by serving other people, by serving to raise up all life, by serving
to set all life free. And you see, my beloved, that is why there must
come a point on your spiritual path where you face that initiation:
will you continue to pursue spiritual growth out of self-centered motives
– self-centered meaning focused on the little self, the identity
that you have built – or will you be willing to expand your sense
of self – to let the old limited sense of self die – so
that you can realize that the greater self is the God in all. And thus,
instead of pursuing spiritual growth for the glorification of the little
self, you now pursue growth because it will enable you to serve the
all better.
And that shift in consciousness might seem insignificant, but I tell
you, it is the most Earth-shattering, graven-image-shattering, shift
in consciousness that any spiritual seeker can go through. And indeed,
my beloved, there are so many people in this world who for decades have
been sincerely pursuing spiritual growth. But they have not yet realized
that there comes that point, where you need to expand the sense of self,
so you are not pursuing spiritual growth in order to raise up your self
in comparison to other selves, making your self seem like you are wiser,
you are holier, you are purer, you are more spiritual.
A blind alley of false service
This, my beloved, is not service to life, it is service to self—the
dualistic self, the mortal self. And this can indeed give growth, because
as you grow spiritually and become more attuned, you can expand your
consciousness. But my beloved, it is possible to go into a blind alley,
where you keep pursuing spiritual growth out of this subtle unrecognized
desire to glorify the little self. And some people can do this for many
lifetimes. Some of them even can come to a point where they have attained
a certain state of control over their physical body, over their mind,
even over matter itself, so they can produce certain phenomena—such
as having ashes flow from your hands when you speak, or heal by laying
on of hands, or babble on in unrecognizable tongues or other signs and
wonders.
But you see, my beloved, if you look closely, you will see that the
purpose of these signs, the desire behind them, is to set that person
apart from other people or rather above other people. And that, my beloved,
is a blind alley that can be pursued for a long time. But no matter
what the other signs and wonders might be, there is no genuine growth,
for there is no expansion of the heart. It is only through the heart
that you can have the genuineness of serving all life. And why is this
so? Because only through the heart can you know your own inner connection
to the Allness of God's being. And only when you know that you are out
of the All of the Creator, will you know that all other people are out
of the All of the Creator. And only then can you see God in them, and
only then can you serve to set the God in them free to be MORE, to be
all that it is here below.
Pursuing your original Love
And so, my beloved, how can you connect to that Allness? Well, my beloved,
you must pursue Love. You must seek to understand Love. You must seek
to reconnect to the original Love in your being. For I tell you, it
does not matter where you are today, for you started out as a pure being
in the immaculate concept. You descended into the world of form because
you – the greater you that you truly are – had a true desire
to serve all life, to raise up the sphere into which you originally
descended, whether it be this sphere or another one. You came here out
of a true desire.
You might have fallen into a different state of consciousness and have
forgotten that love and that desire to serve all life. But you can reconnect
to it because it is still at the core of your being. And if you will
to grow beyond a certain point, then you MUST reconnect to it, for there
is no other way.
You see, my beloved, the lie of the fallen beings – from Lucifer
and all of the other ones who have pride – is that they actually
believe that they can raise themselves up to such a point where they
will become equal with God, or more important than God. But this, my
beloved, can never be done as long as you are trapped in the illusion
of separation. You can grow to become a God in your own right, as Maitreya
explains, but you can do so only when you realize that God is the All
that is in all—and you seek to serve the All, to raise up the
All. You become one with God’s desire to raise up this sphere
until it becomes, indeed, the kingdom of God in manifestation, and all
is Light and there is no longer room for any shadows or lies or illusions.
Once you connect to that oneness of the All, then you can become equal
with God. But you see, my beloved, you become equal with God by becoming
one with God. You can never be equal by being separate from God—for
there is no such thing, for God is the All. And so, my beloved, since
God is the ultimate reality, how could you become equal with the ultimate
reality as long as you think you are separate from ultimate reality?
There is only one ultimate reality, so you see, the logic of those beings
who have fallen into the duality consciousness is fundamentally flawed.
They cannot see this, your ego cannot see this, your intellect cannot
see this. But – aah – the heart can see this.
When the heart is purified and opened, the heart can know the oneness
of all life. And that truly is the first part of the spiritual path—to
come to know in the heart the oneness of all life. And then to carry
out that oneness in all your actions and words, so that you serve the
One in the All. This, my beloved, is how I won my ascension so many
thousands of years ago—by serving others, by serving those who
were closest to me in that last incarnation, by serving without thought
of self. For truly, when you come to sense the oneness, you realize,
“It is not about me,” me meaning the separate self. It is
about the real me, meaning the All.
Thus, my beloved, I am grateful for your providing the platform that
allowed me to release this teaching, which is more than the words I
have spoken but truly a complete release of the vibration and the thoughtforms
of the sixth ray of service—selfless, unconditional service.
Realizing the importance of as Above, so below
My beloved, sometimes through this activity you have come to think that
because our releases flow – seemingly – so effortlessly,
that they are not perhaps as important or as holy or that you have not
done any work to earn them. But I tell you, as Jesus said earlier, that
you have indeed earned these releases. As Jesus recently explained in
an answer
on the website, when a new movement starts, when a new movement
catches the winds of the Spirit, they can be given an initial release
of Light. But unless both the leaders and those who join the organization
multiply that offering, they will not come to a higher level.
So indeed, you have multiplied what we have given through this activity—by
giving the rosaries, by studying the teachings, and by giving out those
teachings in various ways to the people you meet on the way. And this
is what has brought you to the point, where we can take this to a higher
level. My beloved, this messenger in his outer mind sometimes feels
a little bit of guilt because he feels that it took him too long to
get Maitreya’s book into physical manifestation, indeed working
on it for almost a full year.
But I must tell you that part of the reason for this was indeed that
the people who had partaken of this activity had not yet multiplied
what they had already been given to a sufficient degree to allow Maitreya's
book to be brought forth. And so, there was indeed a need to wait for
that multiplication to occur, and there was no guarantee that it would
occur at a certain time. It is indeed possible that this book would
not yet have been released.
And so you see, my beloved, I give you a sense of co-measurement, that
even though it may sometimes seem that our releases come forth effortlessly,
there is indeed an effort on your part. You have earned what you are
given. And this is not to cause any kind of pride, but to give you the
realism, where you realize that we of the Ascended Host are not the
remote hosts in the sky. We are not sitting up here, having some ready-made
plan, and all you can do is hang on for the ride. No, my beloved, we
and you are in a partnership, a figure-eight flow. We can release a
certain amount, but only when you take it and multiply it can we release
more.
And so, this gives you the sense that you are not just passive recipients,
as people in churches all over the world come to church every Sunday
and passively sit there and take in whatever the pastor throws at them,
whether it be complete nonsense or not. And so, you realize that we
are in a figure-eight flow, because we are not the remote beings in
the sky and you are not the remote people on Earth. My beloved, we see
God in you as we see God in ourselves, and therefore we know that you
are extensions of ourselves on Earth. And that is truly why you have
the capacity to multiply what is released from us. For if you had no
life you, how could you multiply what we give you?
And so you see—we are you, you are us. We are above, you are below.
But only when you realize the oneness, and realize that you are in partnership
with us, will you experience the fullness of the figure-eight flow.
And when you see this oneness, you will be spurred on to put forth even
more of a willingness to multiply what you have been given. And this,
of course ties, in with Mother Mary and Jesus for there comes a point
where, in order to multiply what you have been given, you have to see
what you have not seen. You have to see part of the dualistic filter
and let it die. For only then can the multiplication occur, for as long
as you are trapped in the illusion, you cannot multiply what is given
from above.
Thus, once again, I seal you in my gratitude, the gratitude of ministry,
the gratitude of service, service to all, unconditional service—not
blind service but unconditional service. Be you sealed. Be your hearts
sealed in that flame of ministration and service. So be it.
