The easy way out
There are many spiritual or religious teachings that promise you an
easy way out, an automatic path to salvation. In reality, the only true
way is to systematically rebuild your sense of identity until you accept
who you truly are, which restores oneness between your higher self and
your lower self. This requires work, because you must purify your four
lower bodies of all dualistic beliefs and misqualified energies. However,
there is a sort of easy way out.
The way out is to realize that the Conscious You is what it thinks it
is. Your conscious self has the ability to identify itself as anything
it chooses and to change that sense of identity instantly. We might
say that your ego has built a mental prison out of the self-centered
beliefs and misqualified energies in your four lower bodies.
You might think of this prison as a small brick box with just a tiny
window in the door. The ego has then managed to trick the Conscious
You into entering that prison and believing it cannot escape. Thus,
your conscious self is right now looking at the world and itself from
the very limited perspective it has from inside the ego’s prison.
This is what causes you to feel stuck, to feel that life is suffering
and to feel like you have no way out.
Yet as Mother Mary describes in her book, the door to the prison is
not locked. The Conscious You can – at any time – decide
to open it and step outside the prison. Doing this does not mean that
the prison disappears. You must still undo the self-centered beliefs
and the misqualified energies in order to take back control over your
four lower bodies. Yet once you are outside the prison, your perspective
on life will change dramatically.
You will no longer feel limited or stuck and life will no longer seem
like an endless process of suffering. You will realize the truth in
the old saying that you are not a human being trying to have a spiritual
experience but a spiritual being having a human experience. And if you
don't like the human experience you are having, you can change it by
following the spiritual path.
You can now use your Christ self as a guide to reclaiming your true
identity. You will begin to realize and accept that you are a spiritual
being and you will begin to feel the freedom and joy that comes from
knowing who you are, why you are here and how to fulfill your highest
goals. The sole goal behind the creation of this website is to give
you the teachings and tools that can help you claim this spiritual freedom.
What one has done,
all can do
Many Christians have been brought up to believe that only Jesus could
claim oneness with God because he was the only Son of God, and it is
blasphemy for us to think we can do what Jesus did. Yet Jesus never
claimed to be the only Son of God, and he clearly stated:
I can of mine own
self do nothing. (John 5:30)
I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I
speak these things. (John 8:28)
Jesus used the word “Father”
as a symbol for his I AM Presence or his spiritual teacher. Thus, it
was the Light of his I AM Presence that gave Jesus the power to do the
works that he did. The secret that has been suppressed in most orthodox
religions is that all people have an I AM Presence. Therefore, the I
AM Presence in you has the same power as the I AM Presence in Jesus.
That is why Jesus said:
Verily, verily,
I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall
he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go
unto my Father. (John 14:12)
You, meaning your lower self,
cannot do the works that Jesus did, yet God can do the same works through
you that he did through Jesus. What made Jesus unique was that he stopped
denying God within him, and therefore God could work through him with
no restrictions. We have all been programmed to stop the flow of God’s
Light and Love through our lower beings, yet through the mind of Christ
we can overcome that programming. We will know the Christ truth that
will make us free from the ego's illusions.
When we do, we can achieve the same state of oneness with the I AM Presence
that Jesus came to demonstrate. Jesus came to show us the path that
all of us have the potential to follow. Jesus wants us to see him as
an example to follow, not as an idol to worship. Jesus came to demonstrate
one of the basic principles behind spiritual growth:
What
one has done, all can do.
Your inner longing
The state of oneness with your I AM Presence is your highest potential
here on Earth, and when you attain it, you can fulfill your rightful
role as a co-creator with God. It is only when a critical mass of people
attain this state of oneness that the second coming of Christ can come
about. This will bring God’s kingdom into manifestation on Earth,
which will usher in a Golden Age of peace and enlightenment.
Your soul most likely volunteered to come to Earth at this particular
time for the purpose of helping to bring in the Golden Age. You have
most likely always had a sense that something isn't right on Earth,
that something is missing and that something needs to be done. You most
likely always had a longing for something better, something more, and
that lost paradise is oneness with your true self. Thus, the key to
your personal fulfillment and to improving the world, is to follow the
ancient call:
Human, know thy
Self.
Which really means:
Human, know thy
Self as God.
Your real self is your I
AM Presence. Dare to know it, dare to be here below, all that you are
Above.
