QUOTE OF THE DAY

We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection. When we believe this lie, we use the lie to judge ourselves,to punish ourselves, and to justify our mistakes.

    “We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection. When we believe this lie, we use the lie to judge ourselves, to punish ourselves, and to justify our mistakes. ~don Miguel Ruiz”

    This teaching (of don Miguel Ruiz) is more egregiously false and destructive than the one you posted yesterday.

    The truth begins in the realization that we are ALL Children of the Most High God. And God is Love. Some of these children have chosen to rebel against God, in choosing a personal priority system based on hate and anger to guide their lives. This choice places them in conflict and contradiction to God, who is pure Love. When people are on a sate of conflict and contradiction to God, the perfection of God cannot flow into their lives to heal and uplift.

    The soul must consciously choose to provide a path into the personal life for God’s perfection to flow for the purpose of healing and uplifting and harmonizing. This pathway for the entry of God’s perfection is the choice to love, rather than to hate, to respect rather than to deride. Indeed the choice to follow the golden rule in every department of our lives.

    All of the suffering that we see on the planet, all of the conflict, all of the war, all of the fighting and the bickering, this is the logical outgrowth of the people’s choice to place anger and hatred on the same moral plane as love and respect.

    God has sent his true messengers into the world, and they have always taught that love is the way. But the people say, NO, we want to hate, and so, in their hate, they have their suffering, their bickering, their violence and warfare. Even in the midst of the rubble of their lives, where very little is going right, they still choose to hate. Even though it is their hate that brings destruction upon them and their families. Look at the Palestinians.

    From the perspective of God, the creator of the universe, the creator of our souls, the creator of this planet, and all of the life systems we see so wonderfully manifest, anything less than perfect love, is imperfect. Anger and hate is imperfect. All of the psychological structures used to justify anger and hate are more examples of imperfection.

    We are called by God our Father and Mother to leave this domain of imperfection, and to return to our native domain of perfection.

    John, I would encourage you to factor into your world view, the fact of the Great Rebellion that took place long ago, and God’s response to that rebellion. Yes, many choose to raise the big finger into the very face of God, and they were eventually thrown out of heaven into this universe which was created as a rehabilitation institution for them, where these rebels could be given multiple opportunities, practically endless opportunities, to learn to live according to love, rather than hate. And in that way, having learned the lesson, and mastered it, earned the right to return to their native homeland in the heavenly domains.

    Yes, God is forgiveness. But, the people must give up their propensity to hate, as a soul that hates, cannot return to the heaven world. People hate for many reasons. This is complex tangle of psychological yarn that must be systematically untangled over time.

    The soul is given short term opportunities to embody, to write anew upon a clean slate, and then the opportunity comes to an end. Additional opportunities are given, until the soul gets it right. I refer to this as multiple life opportunity within this rehabilitation institution. This principle is referred to elsewhere as reincarnation, for example in Buddhism, and Hinduism.

    don Miguel Ruiz is obviously a stubborn rebel at heart, because he leads people into making more and more negative karma, that they must balance as part of the process of reconciling themselves with God. For you see, in a universe predicated on Love, the expression of hate is always a destructive expression, of thought energy, of emotional energy, and physical energy. Hate will always cause harm to the target. And the soul is always held accountable for the harm that it inflicts on other souls.

    “A near fatal car accident changed the direction of Don Miguel’s life.” This is KARMA coming back on his head. In the promotion of hatred as equivalent to love, this individual has caused great harm, and this destruction has returned to his doorstep big time.

    “He experienced himself as pure awareness outside of the constraints of his physical body.” This is true of every soul, whether that soul is dedicated to serve the Light, or dedicated to serve the darkness. This is no sign of wisdom, where your returning karma knocks you clean out of your body for a moment or two.

    True, our essential nature is not in the physical body we wear. But the field of consciousness that really describes who we are, which Don Miguel experienced, can be devoted to serve the Light, or the Dark Side, that is the side which is in rebellion against God.

    “In February of 2002, Don Miguel suffered a near-fatal heart attack. The damage from the heart attack and subsequent coma left him with a heart functioning at only 16% of capacity and in constant pain.” This is more KARMA coming back on his head, or rather in this case, on his very heart, which is supposed to be the seat of love.

    “Please help us to change the world’! Only you can change the world that you create, and by changing your world, the world will change… ‘and that is the Truth that will set you free’” This a fairly audacious and bold fraud. His “truth” will bind the soul even tighter to the wheel of endless birth and death, piling karma upon karma, until the soul suffocates and dies under the weight of it.

    I understand that the teachings of Jesus Christ has been weighed down, and made a dead letter in so many ways, by layer upon layer of false doctrine. Strip off the false doctrine, uncover the gold beneath, and there you will really have the truth that will set you free.

    Jesus Christ is not the ONLY Son of God. He came to show us what a child of God is supposed to live like, and what a Child of God is supposed to be capable of, once the Child returns to the domain of love, eschewing all hate and hate justifications. You and I are just as much a son of God as Jesus Christ ever was. EVERY MALE CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD is a SON of GOD BY DEFINITION.

    The most important Teaching that Jesus Christ ever gave was this one:

    “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 god unto my father.” (John 14:12)

    Here, the Master left a reality check for all of us. What does it mean to “believe” in Jesus Christ? Find out what he meant by that, and then you and I will be able to do the works that he did. That is an absolute promise.

    Where in the Christian world do you see people doing the works that Jesus did? Nowhere! What does that mean? It means they don’t have the belief structure right.

    The core of the Teaching of Jesus Christ is Love. That is Love as God defines it. The soul is called to return to its native love in this regard. It is really that simple. Of course, to anchor this concept of our native love, we have to anchor the principle of pre-existence of the soul to integrate that principle, for there was a time when we all lived in the domain of perfect love, and were counted as Shining Sons and Daughters of the Most High God.

    Having accomplished that, i.e. the reintegration of our souls with the principle of our native love, and this through the (inner) guidance of the Master Jesus Christ, the full abundance of God can flow through the soul once again. And this makes perfect sense, as the abundance of God is love-based. A love-based reality of infinite abundance can flow only through the heart and mind that had rededicated itself to the precepts of love. The Masters admonishment to be ye therefore perfect, as our father in heaven is perfect, comes into sharp focus here.

    The Path into Perfection, in this regard, which the Master Jesus Christ sponsors, is in the untangling of the complex web of hate-justifications that make up the psychology of rebellion, working with the willing soul to replace them with love-based justifications which are in harmony with the Greater Mind and Heart of God.

    Hate is a stubborn thing, and the justifications associated with hate are far more sticky and gluelike than a spider’s web. It takes time to unravel these, and that is why, as a general rule, it takes to many lifetimes for the soul to successfully untangle them.

    We must all get a good chuckle at these individuals who sincerely believe themselves to be Christians, and sincerely believe that they are both “born again” and “saved”, when in fact they actually hate other Christians of a another sect or denomination, or others of another religion entirely. They are in for a rude awakening at the close of the current life.
