' The two deadly lies '...

What happens to a soul when it has accepted the serpentine logic that you can
maintain your individuality even while you are separated from God? The soul will
begin to walk the path of building a sense of identity, a sense of
individuality, based on the core belief that it is separated from God. Over many
lifetimes, such a soul can build a very strong and very complex sense of
individuality and separateness. It can also build a set of beliefs that makes
the soul firmly convinced that this sense of individuality is real and that the
path of building upon this sense of individuality is the true path that leads
back to God.

The first serpentine lie is that the soul will not die by eating the forbidden
fruit of the knowledge of relative good and evil, namely the relative good and
evil of the lower state of consciousness. Yet the soul does die in a spiritual
sense because when it begins to engage in the dualistic logic, it loses its
direct contact with the source of life, the spiritual self.

There are some souls who have fallen but who either have not realized that they
have fallen from grace or are not willing to admit that they have lost their
former estate. Yet most souls will come to an inner recognition that they have
lost something. They realize that something has changed and that something is
not right. At this point, the serpentine logic uses the second lie in an attempt
to maintain its stranglehold on the soul.

The second lie is that even though the
soul has fallen from grace, it can come back to God's kingdom without
challenging the first lie. In other words, the soul does not have to admit that
the first lie, the lie that it can build an individuality that is separate from
God and still survive, is wrong. The second lie states that the soul can come
back to God by continuing to build upon and perfect the individuality that is
based on separation.

There are many people on Earth who are still so ensnared by the first lie that
they either cannot or will not see and acknowledge that they have fallen from
grace and therefore need to come back to God. Yet in this day and age, a growing
number of people are beginning to realize that they must make an effort to come
back to God. These people realize that they need to find a path, a systematic
process, that can lead them back to God.

While people are still asleep, there is no danger that the forces of this world
will lose their control over these souls. Yet when people awaken to the need to
find their way back to God, there is a real danger, or rather a real hope, that
the forces of this world might lose control of these souls. If these people
discover the true path and diligently follow that path, they will truly make it
back to God. Therefore, the second line of defense built by the forces of this
world is the illusion of the false path, the way that seems right unto a human,
but the end thereof is the way of death.

The false path, the left-handed path, seems right onto a human because it does
not require the soul to confront the choices that caused the soul to believe in
the first lie. The false path makes it seem like the soul was never really
wrong. It was either the victim of forces beyond its control, or God really
wanted the soul to fall, or there was a good reason why the soul fell, or any
number of other reasons that make it seem natural and unavoidable that the soul
fell into a lower state of consciousness.

The false way seems right unto a human, or rather to the human consciousness,
because once the soul has built a false sense of identity, a sense of
individuality based on separation from God, the soul knows no other sense of
identity or individuality. The human self, the ego, springs from the sense of
separation, so it can never see anything wrong with the state of separation.
Therefore, as long as the soul listens to the ego or to false teachers, the soul
does not understand that the only true individuality is that of being an
individual expression of the flame of God.

So the false path makes the soul think that it can make its way back to God by
building on its false individuality of being separated from God. This then gives
the soul a need to find an outer path, and outer organization, an outer belief
system which makes the promise of an automatic salvation. The promise is that as
long as you believe in the right doctrines, follow the right outer rules and
belong to a particular organization, you will automatically be saved because God
simply has to accept you into the kingdom of Heaven.

The false path

Throughout history, numerous people have followed the false path. Even many
so-called spiritual teachers or leaders have followed the false path and have
promoted the false path. Such teachers often did not deliberately mislead the
people. They truly believed in the lie that you can somehow perfect or elevate
the false sense of identity, the pseudo self. They believed that you can attain
salvation and make it back to the kingdom of God without overcoming,
transcending and leaving behind the sense of separation from God.

This lie is very persuasive and pervasive. It is so persuasive that even many
souls who have been engaged in spiritual practices for lifetimes still have not
seen through this lie. They truly believe that they are following the true
spiritual path, and they use all manner of outer signs or inner experiences to
reinforce the illusion that they are following the true path and that they are
coming ever closer to God. Some of these souls are making spiritual progress in
various ways, but they still have not challenged the fundamental problem that
makes it necessary to come back to God, namely the fact that they chose to see
themselves as separated from God.

Although there is a spiritual path which takes you gradually towards a higher
state of consciousness, there comes a point where the gradual path can lead you
no further. There comes a point when you must take a leap of faith into the arms
of God. You cannot make it back to God as long as you see even the slightest
distance between yourself and God. What does it mean to be in God's kingdom? It
means being one with God, being an individualization of God, even being God in
embodiment. It means accepting your true identity as a son or daughter of God,
as an individualization of a God flame.


The mistake of Peter

When I walked the Earth 2,000 years ago, my main purpose was to demonstrate the
true path that leads you back to union with God. The same path of union has been
demonstrated and taught by all true spiritual teachers and mystics. Many souls
have been students of such teachers, yet they have not understood the very core
of the teaching. Such students can sit at the feet of a true Master for many
years and still not understand the lie of the false path. They can look at the
true teacher and recognize that he is a true teacher, yet in their hearts they
cannot understand or accept that the only way to follow the teacher is to become
the teacher.

A perfect example of such a student was my beloved Peter. Peter was a sincere
student. He had attained a certain level of discernment and this allowed him to
recognize me as the Christ in embodiment. When I said, "upon this rock will I
build my church," I did not mean the outer person of Peter. I meant the inner
ability to recognize the Christ, to recognize the true teacher.

Yet despite the fact that Peter was a sincere student with some attainment and
discernment, he was not willing to walk the true path of Christhood. This is
why, when the test of Christhood came to him, he denied me three times. Peter
thought that although he recognized me as the Christ and saw me walk the path
that leads to the death of the ego, the false sense of identity, he did not have
to walk that same path. Peter reasoned that he could maintain his individuality
as being separate from God, as being separate from Christ. He reasoned that he
could still make it back to God by following my outer teachings instead of
following the inner path of overcoming the false sense of identity and winning
back the true sense of identity as being one with God, as being an
individualization of God and not an individualization of the world
consciousness.

At the very moment when Peter denied me for the first time, he started a trend
that set Christianity on the wrong course. The Christianity that Peter founded,
the church that Peter founded, was from the very beginning based on the false
path, the lie of individuality and separateness from God. The lie that you can
make it back to God without walking the path of Christhood which requires you to
be willing to lose your life, to lose your mortal life, to lose your mortal
sense of identity in order to win the immortal life of the Christ consciousness.

For 2,000 years, the orthodox Christian churches have reinforced and upheld the
illusion embodied by Peter. They have built elaborate doctrines and dogmas
around this illusion. They have built a culture that reinforces this illusion so
heavily that millions of souls are firmly entrapped by the illusion. They think
they are true Christians, yet I tell you that they are following the path that
seems right unto a human, yet the end thereof is the way of the death of the
soul.

Be not like Peter.
Learn from the mistakes of Peter.
Make an effort to see through the illusion that entrapped Peter. When the world
comes and asks you if you are one with Christ, do not deny your oneness with me.
Do not fear any of the consequences or the punishments found in this world. Do
not make excuses and seek to explain Christhood in a way that becomes palatable
to the world consciousness.

Be willing to sacrifice your mortal sense of identity, your false sense of
individuality, your sense of pride in the human ego and the human achievements,
in order to obtain union with Christ.

Awaken and Come forth!

Peter reasoned that if he had confessed to be one of my disciples, he would have
been crucified alongside me, and thus he would not have been able to remain in
the world and spread my message. Yet when Peter walked on the water and started
sinking, did I not reach out my hand and raise him up? So why would Peter think
that if he had been crucified alongside me I would not have been able to
resurrect him as I resurrected myself? And could not the resurrected Peter have
walked the Earth again as I did and helped the other disciples spread my
message.

I tell you that if Peter had decided to acknowledge his oneness with Christ
instead of affirming his separation from Christ, Christianity itself would have
been much different. It is not a given that Peter would have been crucified. But
regardless of whether he was crucified alongside with me or had remained in
embodiment, Peter would have become a true representative of the Christ. He
would have become one with Christ, he would have become Christ, and therefore he
could have built a church that was based on the true path instead of the false
path. He could have built a church based on the true individuality in God rather
than the false sense of individuality as being separate from God, separate from
Christ.

I see millions upon millions of people who consider themselves to be true
Christians or consider themselves to be true followers of the spiritual path.
These people are found in all religions, and many are found in the New Age
movement. I love each and every one of you and I desire nothing more than to see
you come home to my Father's kingdom. Yet I must tell you sternly and frankly
that so many of you are walking the false path, the way that seems right unto a
human.

Now I say to you with the full authority of Christ, "Awaken from your sleep!" I
say to you as I said to Lazarus, "Come forth!" Come out of the grave of your
false sense of identity and embrace the Light, the Light of my Christ Presence
which is shining upon you through these words.

I am Jesus Christ.
I am the being who is assigned by God to hold the office as Lord and Savior for
every human being on Earth. So many people think that by making a simple
declaration of words they have accepted me as their Lord and Savior. This is not
so.

I can be your Lord and Savior only if you fully accept me and accept the path to
Christhood, the path to union with Christ, union with God. I can be your savior
only if you are willing to let go of your false sense of individuality, the
false sense of identity based on the illusion that you are separated from God. I
can be your Lord and Savior only if you are willing to let the human ego die.

Do not follow the path taken by Peter and spend the rest of this lifetime using
the serpentine logic to justify why you can perfect the ego. Instead, follow the
path taken by Paul who said, "I die daily." He meant that every day a part of
his human self died.

Be willing to admit that your human self, your human sense of individuality,
must die before you can discover your true individuality in Christ. Admit that
the sense of individuality based on separation is a lie. Do not spend the rest
of your life in an attempt to justify the sense of individuality and the belief
that the false path of building upon that individuality can take you back to
God.

This is what Peter did. This is what the soul of Peter has been doing for 2,000
years. This is what the Christian churches who followed the way taken by Peter
have been doing for 2,000 years.

I am Jesus Christ and I say to you, "Thus far and no father!" The time has come
to draw a line in the sand and say, "Come out of your illusions and delusions.
Come out of your sense that all is well and that as long as you keep following
the path you are following now, you will automatically make it back to God."

Stop attempting to use the logic of this world to justify the false path. Let go
of the false path and follow me.

I am Jesus Christ, and I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life.
