The responsibility of Europe

Ascended Master Lanello, November 2, 2008 through Kim Michaels.

For do you not see, that by the very fact that the Catholic Church originated here and spread its teachings here, you have on this continent a responsibility to the rest of the World to set this right; to change this dynamic and indeed overcome the dualistic polarity between the orthodox, traditional, mainstream Christian churches on one side, and materialistic, atheistic science on the other? You are the ones who have the potential here on this continent to bring forth a new kind of universal, spiritual teaching, that goes beyond traditional religion and goes beyond materialistic science—freeing the people to accept that they can be spiritual beings without fitting into the mold created by traditional religion. That it is indeed okay to accept yourself as a spiritual being and accept that you have a potential to reach – directly in your heart – for that higher reality, that goes beyond the human ego and the duality consciousness.

Certainly, the book that we have released The Art of Non-War has the potential everywhere in the world. But it does have a special potential here in Europe; and was indeed in large part meant for the people in Europe to see, that here is an example of how a universal spiritual teaching can be brought forth, that appeals to the heart and the intellect at the same time. Yet it awakens something beyond, awakens that very fabric of people’s beings to stand up and recognize, that they have always known that there must be a higher truth somewhere—that it cannot all be just a matter of which group or which ideology or which authority is right over another. There must be a way to settle questions, to know what is right in a higher way—to know what is reality in a way, that cannot be distorted by the human intellect and its ceaseless, meaningless argumentation for or against this or that, without ever coming to any conclusion.

The Catholic Church upholds poverty

Ascended Master Saint Germain, December 14, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

Many religions on this earth have been elitist in nature and in practice. They have brought forth an elitist doctrine, that has maintained a status quo that allowed a small elite to have an ungodly control over the majority of the population, thereby being able to have privileges for themselves – such as great wealth – because they took the wealth and the abundance from the people, keeping the people at an artificial level of poverty.

This is no more clearly demonstrated in recent history than by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, where I must tell you – as we already said in England – that without the Catholic Church and its doctrines, the feudal system would not have spread in Europe, would not have been able to survive for as long as it did. It was the Catholic doctrines which were a total perversion of Jesus’ true teachings, where he said “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, my little ones, you have done it unto me.” And had the Catholic Church been faithful to that teaching, it would not have supported the elitist system. But because it perverted the teachings of Christ in many ways, it did indeed support an elitist system, that allowed the feudal lords and the kings to remain in control of the population, keeping the population as virtual slaves for centuries.

What was the core of the Catholic doctrines that supported poverty? It was that certain conditions on earth were the result of the will of God, including the condition that a small elite would rule, even that a small elite of clergy and the Pope were controlling whether the people could have their sins remitted and enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again, a total perversion of the teachings of Christ who said, “The Kingdom of God is within you,” meaning that you do not need an institution and its clergy in order to enter that inner kingdom.

How could the Pope take you by the hand and lead you to the kingdom that is within YOU? This, of course, is ridiculous. But it was not ridiculous to the people of the Middle Ages who had grown up being indoctrinated and programmed, that this was the absolute truth and that they would go to hell if they dared question the authority of the Pope and the Catholic Church and its doctrines. What was it that set the condition for the physical manifestation of poverty? Well it was the spiritual poverty, that was brought on by the Catholic Church perverting the teachings of Christ!

You might look to South America, where the Catholic Church is still strong in many nations, and realize that for poverty to be overcome in South America, well then the people must dare to question the Catholic Church and its doctrines, especially those which are out of alignment with the true teachings of Christ. And why do you think it is important for us to get the translation of The Christ is Born in You out to the people? Well, this is precisely why. For otherwise how shall they learn that there is a difference between the true teachings of Christ and the outer doctrines of the Catholic Church?

Throughout the Dark Ages, going into the modern age, there has been this subtle programming by the forces of anti-christ – even using the religion that claims to represent Christ on earth – to hammer into the collective consciousness that poverty is the will of God, that it is the will of God that some people are more powerful and more rich than others, and that the majority of the population should simply accept their lot and not try to rock the boat, and not try to demand something.

Because after all, what is the will of God—according to the Catholic Church? Well, it is that all people ascend to heaven after this lifetime, and so people have been programmed to not look at the now, and not look at the situation on earth and say, “This is not right! This is not acceptable. We want change!” No, they have been programmed to be passive about conditions on earth and say, “Oh we will just be good Christians, and not rock the boat so that we can be resurrected and be raised to heaven after we leave this physical octave.”

Can you see, that this is a very subtle and very effective way to pacify the people, so that they will not work for changes in the physical octave? Because they believe that they just need to be good Christians and wait for the changes in the next world. And thereby, they leave this world to the forces of anti-christ who have set themselves up to be the undisputed rulers of this world. And can you see, that as long as that programming is allowed to continue unquestioned, well, then there cannot be a dramatic shift in the collective consciousness?

It has been the goal of the forces of anti-christ to use a perversion of the teachings of Christ to deprive the people of their will, their willpower to stand up and say, “Enough is enough! We demand that this planet earth should be an outpicturing of the truth of God, so that the Kingdom of God can be manifest here below as it is already manifest above. And we demand that this society of ours be an outpicturing of the true teachings of Christ, who said ‘I am come that all might have life and that they may have it more abundantly.'” So, you see that religion is the one factor, the perversion of the Father aspect, that has programmed the people to sap their will, to take away their willpower, so they will not stand up to the elite and demand that poverty be eradicated.

The Catholic Church is a tool for controlling the population

Ascended Master Jesus, October 28, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

The one area of society, where you will find the greatest resistance to this truth is precisely in religion. And in British society, you will find that the greatest resistance to change is precisely in the Church of England. For even though the monarchy is very resistant to change, the Church is even more so. And this is what you see in general in religions throughout history, even the religion of the Jewish people that rejected me as the Messiah.

They knew the Messiah would come, my beloved, but when the Messiah arrived, they would not acknowledge him, for they did not want to change, as I indeed prompted them to change. I prompted them to let their old sense of identity die, so they could be reborn of the Spirit, but they would not. So the question today is: can the Church of England be renewed and become a living breathing organization, that can fulfill the spiritual needs of the British people in the modern world? I leave it as an open question, for I have no firm answer to it, for it is dependent on the free will of the people themselves, of the leaders of the Church and of the top ten percent of the most spiritually aware people.

The Church of England is built on the foundation of the Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church was from its very inception conceived as a system – a closed system, a closed institution – that was not conceived as a tool for teaching the true teachings of Christ, for setting the people free. No my beloved, it was conceived by Constantine as a tool for suppressing and controlling the Roman people. Those who cannot see this have not been willing to take an honest look at the history and the origin of the Catholic Church. They have not been willing to look at the institution of the Catholic Church and compare it to the scriptures that give at least a glimpse of my true teachings. For even if you look at the scriptures that have survived – that have been allowed to be given to the people by the institution of the Church – even if you look at them, you will see that there is a gaping discrepancy between my teachings and the institution of the Catholic Church.

When you look at my teachings, you will see that I preached an entirely different concept of spirituality, of salvation, of the Kingdom of God than what has been taught by the Catholic Church from the very beginning. I preached that the Kingdom of God is within you, meaning that you do not need an external institution in order to be saved, for salvation is an inner individual process, namely the quest for the Holy Grail. The Catholic Church, from the very beginning, perverted that concept by going back to what has been the bane of religion from the very beginning, where religion places itself between people and God, saying “You cannot come to God except by going through the outer institution, the outer system.”

Preach the Living Gospel of Christ

From the very beginning, it has been based on a denial of Christ. Truly, I told my followers to go out into all the World to preach my gospel to all creatures, to turn all people into my disciples. But did that mean that I wanted my disciples to go out into the world and make them members of an outer Church and make them blindly follow the dictates and the doctrines of that Church? Surely, that was not what I meant. I meant to go out and preach the truth that the kingdom is within you and is a quest for a higher state of consciousness. For you too have a Christ potential, as you saw the Christ potential in Jesus.

If that gospel, that living gospel, had been preached to all creatures, if that tradition of the living Word, of the Key of Knowledge – where the Church does not tell people what to believe or burn them at the stake for believing what is beyond Church doctrine, but instead encourages people to seek truth from within, to seek a direct encounter with the Spirit of Truth, instead of telling people to fall down and worship the graven images created by the Church – well, my beloved, if that had been maintained, do you think that Britain and so many other Christian nations would have had a culture, where young people grow up without any sense of purpose, without any sense of meaning?

Surely, the only way to give people a sense of purpose and meaning is to show them, that there is a higher purpose, there is a quest for something better, something beyond in their personal lives and in society. To show people that when they reach for that beyond, when they reach for that Holy Grail, they can find a higher state of consciousness, a state of joy that is beyond happiness and unhappiness, but is the eternal bliss of God. They can find a state of peace, that passes understanding, because it passes the duality of the intellect that must always operate with two opposite polarities. But in the spirit of Truth there are no opposites, and thus the peace of God is unopposed by anything.

If people grow up in a culture with that sense of purpose, do you think they would have a need to numb themselves with alcohol, drugs or other forms of escapism? Surely, they would not. Do you see the almost incomprehensible difference between the culture in which all of you have grown up and the vision of the culture I am outlining, where people grow up knowing they have a purpose, that society has a purpose of not just maintaining status quo, of not just allowing the power elite to suck the light and the lifeblood from the people, but to grow towards more and more abundance, where all people experience the abundant life.

Ah, what a difference this would make, my beloved! And can you not sense – when you look at the scriptures, when you look at the person who walked the earth as the Jesus you know from the scriptures – can you not sense, that this is what I would want for all people on earth? That they knew the true teachings of Christ, and that they knew their identity as Sons and Daughters of God who are here for a purpose, a greater purpose, a grander purpose. And when you see this, can you not realize that you have a right to demand that that vision is what drives your society. You have a right to stand up and say, “This is not right. We cannot continue a culture and a society that is not based on a foundation, that is built on the sand of the ego consciousness, not on the rock of the Christ consciousness”. And thus, do you see that I am reissuing the call to go out into the world, to preach my true gospel to all creatures?

I am not hereby telling you that you need to go out and convert people to a certain religion. Not all people need to accept the AskRealJesus website, to accept that someone can bring forth teachings directly from me. I am asking you to become even more universal and realize that you have a right to state the truth that you know in your hearts. Not in the sense that you go into a dualistic argument with people, but that you have a right to express that there is something more, there is something that is real, that is true in a higher sense than the human ability to make everything relative, and to discuss everything as just another argument.

The Catholic Church is “pacifying religion”

Ascended Master Jesus, May 20, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God and the WORD was God. My Beloved hearts, what is the WORD? Well, it is ultimately the Christ consciousness. But on earth, in the material realm, it has another meaning as well. And that is that it is through the WORD that people impress their mental images upon the Mother Light. And thus, it is through the WORD that they co-create. So therefore, the WORD means the beliefs, the images, the world view that you hold in your four lower bodies and that you use in order to co-create your reality in the physical realm.

For it is through your four lower bodies – it is through the beliefs and images that you hold in those bodies – that you impress upon the Mother Light what you want to outpicture. Or perhaps what you do not consciously want to outpicture, but nevertheless the Mother Light forms a mirror and therefore will outpicture whatever you send out. I explained this 2,000 years ago, when I told people to do unto others as they would have others do unto themselves. The meaning being that what you do unto others will be what the Mother Light and the cosmic mirror thinks that you want the universe to reflect back to you in the form of physical conditions.

How the Catholic Church distorted the WORD

When I came as Jesus, I came to restore the WORD to Israel and to the world. For they had lost the true understanding of the WORD and they had lost it precisely because they had become victims of the plots of those who are the fallen beings, who have entered the serpentine consciousness and who have sought to control humankind, as Maitreya explains in his book.  And the primary means for this control is to pacify the people, so that they do not believe they have access to the Living Word inside themselves. And therefore, their entire world view – their entire belief system, their entire concept of themselves, of God, of life – is determined by outer teachings—be it a religious teaching or a political ideology or a scientific mindset and world view.

I came to restore the Living Word to Israel. But most people were not ready for it. And as Christianity began to spread throughout Europe, then certainly the fallen beings saw that this would spell their doom—unless they did something to stop the spreading of the Living Word and the understanding of the Living Word. What did they do? Well, when it became apparent to them that they could not stop the spread of Christianity – although it was not Christianity as you see it today – that they could not stop the spread of the early Christian movement, well they did what they have always done—if you can’t beat them, join them!

They joined the Christian movement, and, through the help of one of their primary henchmen, Constantine, they turned it into an official religion that very quickly became as rigid and closed as the religion that persecuted and killed me when I walked this earth in a physical body.

Dating back to the “conversion” of Constantine, western civilization was set on a specific track, that first was dominated by the Catholic Church—that for many years had a grip on the WORD in Europe. Do you see my beloved? The Catholic Church ruled the population in Europe by controlling the WORD, controlling access to the WORD. They had set themselves up in a position, where they had the physical power to suppress or kill or ban as a heretic anyone who dared to speak the Living Word. And they had defined a doctrine that completely shut out the Living Word, having instead turned it into a dead outer scripture. But not even the outer scripture, for the Catholic Church did not want people to read the scriptures themselves. They only wanted them to have an interpretation that was in accordance with Church doctrine.

Even though the scriptures that were written down are no longer, strictly speaking, the Living Word, there is still so many clues in the scriptures that people who read them can connect to the Living Word—if they are willing to go beyond the letter of the outer teaching. So it was indeed a travesty that people were prevented from reading the scriptures.

How pacifying religion serves the elite

You now see that what the Catholic Church represents in Europe is precisely what I call “pacifying religion.” A religion that seeks to pacify people by promoting the belief that the people are as nothing and cannot save themselves. They need an external savior and they need an external institution and its priesthood in order to be saved. In the Catholic Church this became the doctrine that you are a sinner by the very fact that you exist—for you were born in sin. By just the mere fact that you have existence on this earth, you are a sinner. And that means that you cannot save yourself but need to be saved by the vicarious atonement, where I do all the work for you, therefore completely pacifying people. Do you see that this does not only pacify people on an individual level, it pacifies them in the entire society, so that the population at large becomes susceptible to the domination by the power elite?

Do you see – in the history of Europe – how the power elite took up positions in the Catholic Church, took up positions in the noble class. And even though you had some rivalry between the two power elites, I can assure you that even the noble class was quite happy with the Church, because they knew that it was because of that pacifying element in the very deepest aspect of life, namely religion, that they were able to control the people and maintain their physical hold over them. So that is indeed why you see the wisdom brought forth in Maitreya’s book, where he says that if we can change the religious debate on this planet, then everything else will begin to fall into place after it.

Making the Catholic Church obsolete

Ascended Master Saint Germain, May 18, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

Most gracious Ladies and Gentlemen, Saint Germain I AM, and I come with a flame of gratitude for your presence on this continent, at this conference, at your willingness to study the true teachings of Christ brought forth specifically for the Aquarian Age. For my beloved, there are indeed few beings in heaven that have a greater respect, admiration and pure love for Jesus than I myself.

Truly, in many embodiments I was inspired by the teachings of Christ, and when I walked this continent in various embodiments – and as the Wonderman of Europe – I always sought to impart the inner teachings of Christ that I knew in my heart. Yet the proud, the high and the mighty would have none of it. For they thought they knew better what were the true teachings of Christ. For they had taken those teachings and encapsulated them in the impenetrable wall of doctrine, of dogma and of a Church authority that could not be challenged or gainsaid. So my beloved, is it not ironic that the Being who was destined to become the master of the Aquarian Age – and who for that reason took embodiment many times in Europe – found that the greatest opposition to freedom in Europe did indeed come from the very institution that claims to be the only true Church of Christ?

Truly, this is a state of affairs that cannot be allowed to continue on this continent. This is not to say that I want anyone to go out and do battle with the Catholic Church. For we have no intention of destroying the Catholic Church. However we do have every intention of making obsolete both the Catholic Church and any other Church that will not come up higher and accept the true teachings of the Living Christ being brought forth as the Living Word, not only through one messenger but through the hearts and minds of the people throughout Europe and the World, who are willing to be mouthpieces for the Aquarian teachings of Christ, the teachings that must be brought out before the Age of Freedom can become a reality on this planet.

The greatest need in Europe today

What is indeed the greatest need in Europe today, what is my highest hopes, what is my highest vision for this continent? Well, let me assure you that even though I have spent a considerable amount of time, energy and attention on establishing the United States, I still have a very great love for this continent, and a very great hope that Europe can once again become the open door for bringing forth new ideas in every area of human endeavor.

For was it not so, that during the Renaissance and beyond, Europe was indeed the birthplace of many new ideas. Some of those ideas were surely from the dualistic, serpentine mindset, but still there were valid ideas that came forth and transformed Europe and eventually the world. But look at history again. Look at the Renaissance and how there was an explosion of new ideas, new inventions, new thoughts. Yet they were brought forth primarily through science—not in the area of religion. And once again, was not the reason that there was one Church that claimed to be the only true Church of Christ and therefore felt justified in using whatever power it had to suppress innovation in the area of religion? Truly, there was the Reformation, but as I am sure you, of all people, can see, the Lutheran, Protestant churches and their offspring did not bring out the true teachings of Christ. For they took out some of the artificial elements added by the Catholic Church, but they did not put back in what had been taken out by the Catholic Church or even earlier.

The greatest need in Europe is the restoration of the Word, because the word affects every area of society. The Word is the key element to setting the people free. Why is this so, my beloved? It is so because the perversion of the word that creates illusions is the primary means used by the Power Elite to suppress the people, to prevent the people from having the knowledge, the truth that will make them free.

Surely, there are few better historical examples of this than the Catholic Church and how it suppressed the Word, even the written Word, so that for centuries the Bible could not be translated into any other language but Latin, meaning that the majority of the people in the Christian world back then could not understand and read the Bible for themselves. They had to rely on the interpretation given by their preachers and priests. Can you see that when the people do not even have access to the written Word, well then the institution that took away that access can control the peoples’ thoughts, which is indeed why the same institution managed to keep Europe locked in the Dark Ages for nigh a millennium.

The serpentine mind in the Catholic Church

Ascended Master Patrick, May 18, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

What did that mind say to Eve? “Thou shalt not surely die.” But I must tell you that when you dip into the duality consciousness, thou shalt not surely live either, for there is no life in that consciousness, there is no spiritual life. I was a true universal Christian and I was that way because at the time, the Catholic Church had not totally calcified. And I had the hope that it would indeed not go down but would go up and become more universal, the true universal Church.

Many of us back then saw the Church that way, we saw the hope, the promise, that it would remain Christ’s Church. Surely, I saw the danger signs. But it was, as I said, too early to totally say that the Church was beyond the point of no return. It was my hope that the Spirit itself would transform the Church and those in it, as it had transformed myself and those to whom I preached. For as I said, I was not into the politicking of the Church; I was but a humble preacher.

And yet my beloved, I must tell you, that in retrospect, I realize that that in itself was also a certain weakness, as you might say. I do not look back at my lifetime with regret, for I realize that it was not my divine plan in that lifetime to go into Church politics. It was indeed my divine plan to preach the Living Word, yet I must tell you that if I had been more attentive, I could have set forth a better example, a better organizational structure, for the Church in Ireland that might have kept it from going rigid so soon.

And therefore I tell you, anyone in a spiritual movement must be aware that when you are in this physical octave, you are constantly dealing with the serpentine mind. And when you start a new spiritual initiative, a new spiritual movement, that serpentine mind will seek an inroad in whatever way it can into your movement. And if you are not alert and not aware, as Eve was not aware, it is all too easy to gradually slide down the slippery slope, where you are not surely dead, but where you are not surely alive and connected to your Christ Self either.

You are thinking that because you are doing the outer things that you have been doing for a long time, and that have been prescribed by your religion, you are still on the right track. But you do not realize the subtleties that the things that you did yesterday have fulfilled their purpose, have come to the end of their cycle. And thus, the only way to keep the upward momentum of your own growth and the growth of your movement is to transcend the level of yesterday or a year ago.

Has the Great Divine Director not said that his motto is, “Change is the order of the day?” Change meaning growth. But I must tell you that sometimes any change is better than still-stand. For when there is change, there is at least the opportunity that people with re-consider their approach to life, their World view. But as long as things remain stuck in the mud, stuck on the treadmill of doing the same thing – yet expecting different results – well, then who will rethink the approach when they think everything is going perfectly and that they are on the right track to salvation, however they define it.

This is what some of you have witnessed in various spiritual movements that are much younger than the Catholic Church. By seeing how – within a few decades – things can slide unknowingly into the rigidity and subtlety, the fogginess of the serpentine mind, where people confirm their own illusions that they are doing the right thing. And so with this in mind, you might then look at the Catholic Church and say, “How can an organization that has been rigid for so long, ever be renewed?” And I tell you, it is a topic that is on the discussion board of the ascended masters—whether it is possible at all to renew the Catholic Church.

I must tell you that on one hand we are always willing to let the Holy Spirit flow through individuals who are willing to be the open door, and certainly there are Catholic ministers who are willing to be the open door for the Holy Spirit, at least to some capacity. And they receive the anointing for which they are worthy, that they are able to bear. But I can also tell you that what is going on right now is only a trickle of what it needs to be, if the entire organization is ever to be transformed. And I must tell you, in all honesty, that we do not see how this can happen with the present Pope still in office. For is he not a good example of the kind of people I was up against, when I wanted to follow my inner direction, my clear spiritual direction to preach the Living Word, and yet they first had to make sure they could control me before they were willing to send me to witness to Christ?

Those who are stuck on doctrine and the letter of the Word will always feel threatened by those who have the vision, the fire of the heart, the joy, the enthusiasm—who are on fire for God. Those who are stuck on the outer word do not have the fire. They either never had it or it has gone out, because now they have become attached to the conditions they have believed, they have accepted in their minds, as Mother Mary spoke about. They have accepted a set of conditions, defined by their religion, that says that as long as you stay within this mental box, this physical box, you are sure to be saved because God simply has to let you into his Kingdom because you are such a good Catholic.

Ah what folly is this, my beloved! How long can the people on this earth, how long can they believe in this lie? Can they not look at the life of Christ and then look at the Bishops and the Pope and the Cardinals in their elaborate Catholic Cathedrals, swinging around their incense and their cups of gold, can they not look at that and say, this is not how Christ preached, this is not how St. Patrick walked about in the hills of Ireland—dressed up in ornate raiment and swinging the incense before him? Can you see that throughout the ages, those who have had the flow of the Spirit have not needed or wanted all the outer appearances?

Do you see this my beloved? When you have the flow of the Spirit, you need none of this. You do not need to build yourself up with outer appearances of this or that kind. You can stand anywhere. And you can let that Spirit flow, for those who know in their hearts will recognize that Spirit even if it comes in a humble disguise. And those who do not recognize it from within are beyond your reach anyway.

The Catholic Church makes a false claim to authority

Ascended Master Jesus, October 1, 2006 through Kim Michaels.

I AM the Living Jesus Christ and I come at precisely 11:11 in the morning to signal that this is the eleven o’clock line for the continent of Europe. And the eleven o’clock line is indeed the line of victory. Thus, I, Jesus, desire to see an awakening on this continent, whereby the people will realize that there is a Living Christ beyond the dead Christ that they have been presented by the dead churches for so long.

Therefore, I AM here to pronounce the judgment upon the dead Christian churches, wherever they are found, in all corners of the world. But especially on this continent of Europe, where indeed modern Christianity as you know it was hatched as a plot by those who wanted to stop the fulfillment of my plan for the Piscean Age! And thus, they merged the Roman state with the emerging Christian Church, a Church that had already departed from my true teachings by becoming so focused on the crucifixion, the suffering and the consciousness of Peter—who, although he had the opportunity to be reborn and enter the true path, denied me before men three times and therefore squandered that opportunity.

Enough of the false path of anti-christ!

And thus, the Roman Catholic Church – who claims to have authority as the true Christian Church because it is based on Peter as the first Pope – makes an entirely false claim, when it claims that Peter could represent Christ. Peter did indeed represent the false path, the path that seemeth right unto a man because it is convenient and does not require you to step up higher, to step outside of the box of your comfortability. Thus, from its very inception, the Roman Catholic Church has denied the essential aspect of the path to Christhood, namely that you are willing to enter the Path of Life and leave behind the path of death and the consciousness of death.

And this consciousness of death, disguised as the true path and the true Church of Christ, has indeed been hanging over this European continent now for 1,700 years. And I, Jesus Christ, have had enough of it! And thus, I am looking for those who have also had enough of it and who will choose to be my mouthpieces and give witnesses to the truth that there is a Living Christ and a living path behind the dead path that has been presented by Christian churches, going all the way back to the Roman empire. But also through the Protestant churches who claimed to have corrected the errors of the Catholic Church but never went back to the very inception of the Catholic Church and realized that you cannot be on the path of Christ if you deny Christ before men and if you refuse to come up higher and leave behind the death consciousness.

Thus, the eternal question, presented by the Living Christ is, “Will you choose life or will you choose death? Will you continue to choose death or will you leave behind the consciousness of death and be reborn into the consciousness of life, that the Living Christ bestows upon all, as his body and blood that is broken for all who are willing to take it?”

Thus, the question to ask yourself is, “Am I alive in a spiritual sense? Or am I still weighted down by some aspect of the death consciousness that then makes me feel burdened, overwhelmed, focused on myself or whatever it may be?” I ask you who are here and all who might hear or read this, to take a minute to center in your heart and ask yourself that question. “Am I really alive right now? Am I fully alive?” Or is there an entirely new level of life that I perhaps have glimpsed but have not yet internalized and become? So my beloved, ask yourself this question honestly, “Am I fully alive?”

The Catholic Church does not represent Christ

The Catholic Church makes the claim to be the ONLY true church of Christ. This is based on the claim that Jesus anointed Peter as the first pope and that the Church has an unbroken succession of popes back to Peter.

In reality, Jesus never gave Peter the authority over his church and had no intention of creating an organization as rigid as the Jewish religion who killed him. From its inception, the Catholic Church is based on a perversion of the teachings of Christ, designed to pacify the people so they could be suppressed by a small power elite.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

 

The Catholic Church makes a false claim to authority

  • Jesus pronounces the judgment upon the dead Christian churches, wherever they are found, in all corners of the world.
  • The Roman Catholic Church makes an entirely false claim when it claims that Peter could represent Christ.
  • From its very inception, the Roman Catholic Church has denied the essential aspect of the path to Christhood.

The serpentine mind in the Catholic Church

  • Saint Patrick saw the danger signs but hoped that the Church could be reformed.
  • Anyone in a spiritual movement must be aware that when you are in this physical octave, you are constantly dealing with the serpentine mind.
  • You might look at the Catholic Church and say, “How can an organization that has been rigid for so long, ever be renewed?”
  • Look at the life of Christ and then look at the Bishops and the Pope and the Cardinals in their elaborate Catholic Cathedrals. This is not how Christ preached, this is not how St. Patrick walked about in the hills of Ireland.

Making the Catholic Church obsolete

  • The greatest opposition to freedom in Europe did come from the very institution that claims to be the only true Church of Christ.

  • Christhood is to unlock your inner creativity; not to surrender it to an earthly institution.

Why the Roman Church survived the Roman Empire

Ascended Master Gautama Buddha, February 14, 2010 through Kim Michaels.

Look at the Roman Empire and the buildings. Everything was regimented, everything was built over a theme and repeated that theme without room for creativity or variation. There was, as we have explained, the killing of individuality and creativity—and thus, there was no openness for adaptation as times changed. As we have said before, space is Buddha; time is mother, and an element of the mother is precisely that there must be change. This is what is written into the second law of thermodynamics.

When a system becomes closed – meaning that it does not change – then it will be broken down over time, for time demands change. Time says, that that which is created out of duality can never stand still, can never be maintained over time. For time is the great equalizer, that breaks down everything to its lowest possible level of organization and structure. Time is the enemy of structure, for structure – once created – becomes a beast that wants to preserve itself, rather than continually transcending itself as is demanded by the creative flow of life.

You see the failure of the Roman Empire to adapt, and thus you see that what survived the Roman Empire was not the empire, not the secular militant branch of the empire, but the later creation of the empire, namely the Roman Church—which – partly because it was based on the teachings of Christ and partly because it had been persecuted for centuries by the Romans before it became the state religion – was much more in tune with the matter aspect, with the mother aspect.

And thus, the Christian Church up until Constantine had been forced to adapt in order to survive. And therefore, as the Roman Church was created, there was still enough remnants of creativity for the Roman Church to survive the Roman Empire. Yet once the leaders of the Church began to think, that they had it all made, then you saw the period of the dark ages, where the creativity had run out, the flame of creativity had gone out. And now there was only the incessant desire to preserve the structure by destroying all real or perceived threats to the structure.

And the more the desire, the more the opposition that wanted to break down the structure. And so, you saw the Crusades, you saw the Inquisition, you saw also, my beloved, the incessant persecution of women in the so-called witch hunts. Do you know how many thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of women were killed in the witch hunts and the Inquisition? Any women who had tuned in to the wisdom of the mother – using what today would be called natural healing methods – such a woman would be persecuted and likely killed by the Catholic Church. What a travesty this was, for it could indeed have provided an incredible spurt of creativity to take society, the society of Europe, out of the dark ages much sooner than it happened through the male scientists.

The Catholic Church is based on idolatry

Ascended Master Jesus, February 11, 2010 through Kim Michaels.

My Beloved, do you seriously believe, that the preacher who roamed the hills of Galilee – who withdrew into the hills of Galilee in order to get away from the mental boxes of the Jewish religion – do you seriously believe, that I would have wanted them to create a mental box out of the religion I came to start, and create a structure such as this, that has absolutely no reality to it? There is nothing in here that takes your thoughts, your heart, towards God. It takes you towards a man-made image, a graven image, an idol.

And that is precisely the entire idea and consciousness behind this structure—to create something that occupies your attention here on earth, gives you a ritual, gives you a structure, that takes your attention away from what: the one thing where the Kingdom of God can be found, the kingdom of God within you, the opening within your own heart, where you are not allowed to go. For you are supposed to follow the outer rules of the structure, that is set up here by this organization, that claims to be the only true Church that represents me on earth. But it represents nothing more than the unwillingness of human beings to surrender their mortal lives into the reality of Christ. They are seeking to save their lives; they are not willing to give up their lives for my sake. And thus, as I have said before, those who deny me before men, those must I deny before the father.

Not that I deny them or that I want to deny them, but that obviously those who have not internalized the Christ light – who have not surrendered the ego and the human consciousness – well, obviously they cannot enter the doorway to the ascension. For they cannot leave behind them their graven images, their mortal sense of self, that they think can be somehow perfected, or was somehow perfected by the sacrifice of my own physical body on the cross 2,000 years ago. How this makes any sense to anyone is a mystery, that even I ponder, even though I know exactly the ability of the human mind, the duality consciousness, to seemingly make sense out of the nonsensical.

Nevertheless, one must wonder when sufficient numbers will wake up and demand a change, will simply refuse to believe these old doctrines and dogmas—and will finally say: Let us go back and look at where they came from, let us look at the people who managed to insert these toxic ideas into the Christian Church. And then, let us use our Christ discernment and out hearts to determine, what is in accordance with the vision of Christ and what is not. And then let us decide to root out that which is found to be wanting, that which is not in accordance with the reality of my mission and vision.
