When
your forgiveness is unconditional, your joy will be full
A message from Mother Mary, November 26, 2006
My beloved hearts, if your
telephone rings, would you not pick it up? And when you pick up the
phone, do you not listen long enough to at least find out whether the
person on the other end has an important message for you or is simply
trying to sell you something. And thus, my beloved, if you do realize
that the person at the other end has a message for you, would you not
do your utmost to listen to that message and understand what it says.
Surely, my beloved,
you will treat your telephone and the person calling with a certain
measure of respect. Thus, my question to you is, “Why would you
not treat life itself with the same measure of respect?”
Ah my beloved, you will say that you that you surely have respect for
life. But I would beg to question whether that is really so. For you
see, my beloved, life itself can be compared to a telephone. Every situation
you encounter can be seen as a telephone call from life itself. And
yet, my beloved, there are so many situations in life where you do not
pick up the phone and listen to see if that situation has an important
message for you, a message that can help you transcend yourself –
or some limitation – so that you can be free and be more in the
River of Life.
Why you encounter the same problems again and again
You see, my beloved, most people go through life with blinders on. They
are only half awake, only half aware of what is happening. And thus,
they do not realize that life is a continuous string of situations—with
each situation having a message that can help them rise higher and overcome
some erroneous belief, some misconception that limits them and the expression
of life itself through them.
My beloved, so many of you have these situations happen over and over
again in your life. And you often cry out, “Why does this keep
happening to me? Why is God doing this to me? Why are other people doing
this to me? Why is destiny or fate or luck doing this to me?”
But my beloved, you do not take time to stand back and say, “Why
am I doing this to myself?”
You see, my beloved, every situation in life can be viewed as a telephone
call, and there is a message in that call. But so often you do not bother
to pick up the phone and listen to the message. And even those people
who pick up the phone – who do consider that they might need to
learn something from certain situations – well my beloved, they
so often do not truly listen for the message behind the phone call.
They do not truly listen with the inner ear, trying to understand the
message, trying to understand that which they cannot see with the outer
mind.
And so they listen to the message, they evaluate, with the outer mind.
And therefore, they do not see the message, they do not hear the message,
for the outer mind cannot fathom that message. For my beloved, if your
outer mind had already understood the message that life is trying to
give you, then why would life bother to call you on the telephone by
having you experience the same situation over and over again?
Life does not punish you
You see, my beloved, it is a complete misconception of the human consciousness
and the human ego that life is trying to punish you. And I can assure
you, my beloved, that life itself – and life is created by God,
so even God itself – has no desire to punish you whatsoever. Thus,
it is an absolute law that once you have learned the lesson you need
to learn from a specific situation, then you will not encounter that
situation again.
And therefore, my beloved, when you encounter the same situation over
and over again, it is because you have not learned the lesson. And that
is why life keeps calling you and presenting you with the same situation
over and over again, so that you have another opportunity – and
another and another – to learn the lesson.
So my beloved, instead of grumbling, instead of complaining that the
same thing keeps happening to you over and over again, I have a very
simple suggestion to you. Simply pick up the phone and listen for the
message that life is trying to give. Then learn that lesson. Resolve
the belief that you need to resolve in order to move up higher. And
I can guarantee you that – as if by magic – you will not
encounter that same situation again.
My beloved, life is not very complicated. Life is really very, very
simple. And the underlying message behind every situation you encounter
in life is simply this: "The material universe is a mirror!"
The Ma-ter light will take on the forms that correspond to the contents
of your consciousness. It is your state of consciousness that projects
an image onto the Ma-ter light. And the Ma-ter light can do nothing
else but to reflect that image back to you—both the image in your
conscious mind and the image in the subconscious layers of your mind,
your emotional, mental and identity
bodies.
My beloved, life is very simple. Life itself is the principle of growth—of
becoming more, of self-transcendence. So the message that life is always
trying to give you is that you can become more. And by seeing your limitation,
by seeing the limiting belief that you have – about yourself,
about the world and about God – you can transcend that limitation
and come up higher and be more in God’s ever-flowing River of
Life.
You see, my beloved, so many people have wondered about the meaning
of life, the purpose of life, the secret of life. So many people have
searched for the philosopher’s stone, the magic wand, some kind
of shortcut that will allow them to suddenly be in a state of bliss,
or a state of having what they think they need in order to be happy.
Yet my beloved, the secret of life is very simple—it is self-transcendence.
And my beloved, this does not mean that you need to attain some remote
state of perfection that might seem beyond your reach. It simply means
that every time you transcend yourself, you are in the flow of the River
of Life. And thus you have the potential to experience the joy, the
bliss, that truly is that River of Life.
And so the message that life is trying to give you in every situation
is that when you encounter a limitation, if you are willing to look
inside yourself and acknowledge the belief that causes you to experience
that situation as a limitation and then let go of that belief, well
then my beloved, you will rise above the sense of limitation and instead
be in the bliss of the River of Life.
Change the way you look at the past
So my beloved, I hope that by giving you this discourse I can change
the way you look at your past. For my beloved, your past is not out
to punish you. Your past is not truly out to hold you back, although
I know that it often seems like your past is holding you back or pulling
you down into repeating the same old patterns over and over again in
a seemingly endless cycle. Yet my beloved, the reality is that your
past, and the memory of your past, is simply another expression of life’s
desire to see you come up higher.
So whenever you are reminded of your past, consider that this is –
once again – life who is calling you on the telephone. And as
always, life is calling you for one purpose only, namely to show you
that you can overcome yet another limitation, that you can rise above
it, that you can simply let it go and join the River of Life—and
then become more by transcending your old sense of self.
You see, my beloved, the situations from your past that keep hounding
you are situations in which you responded to outer circumstances in
such a way that you accepted a limiting belief about yourself. And that
belief is still in your subconscious mind, and that is why – when
you are reminded of that situation in your past – you experience
an uneasiness, a sense of shame or guilt or other negative feelings
that cause you emotional pain. And yet, my beloved, even this pain can
be seen as a reminder. It is a reminder of the fact that you have not
learned your lesson, that you have not overcome the limiting belief.
And thus, my beloved, even the pain can be seen as a grace. For if someone
is trying to call you on the phone and give you a message that can save
your life, would you not want them to turn up the volume on the phone
if they could do so? Imagine that you could not hear the phone. And
yet someone could push a button on their own phone and turn up the volume
so you could now hear it, get the call and save your life.
That is essentially what your past is doing when it is reminding you
– over and over again – of the situations where you have
accepted some limitation. And if you will not pick up the phone the
first time, then what is life going to do but call you again and increase
the volume—thereby increasing the emotional pain in an attempt
to finally make you pay attention. And instead of denying and refusing
the pain, you say, “Okay, I have had enough of this. I am going
to look at this problem and overcome the limitation so that I can once
and for all overcome that pain instead of being burdened by it over
and over again for the rest of my life or even for many lifetimes.”
So my beloved, will you not please consider that instead of ignoring
your past, or denying your past or seeking to make yourself so busy
with the present or the future that you do to pay attention to your
past, it would indeed be much wiser for you to simply pick up the phone
and listen to the message from your past. If you would but listen to
that message, you could quickly come to the realization that the situation
from your past that keeps coming back over and over is a situation where
you have not seen through a limiting belief and thus you have not let
that belief go.
The past becomes prologue to your future
And because you have not let go of that belief, you are constantly holding
on to an imperfect belief about yourself, or about life, or about God
or about other people. And thus, through the power of your mind, you
are projecting that limiting belief onto the Ma-ter light. And my beloved,
what can the mirror of the Ma-ter light do, except reflect back to you
outer conditions that reflect your state of consciousness?
And so you see that your past becomes prologue to your present and your
future. Because the imperfect beliefs you accepted in your past are
constantly being projected upon the Ma-ter light by your subconscious
mind. And thus, the Ma-ter light must take on the forms of those beliefs
and send to you physical situations and circumstances that reflect those
beliefs.
And you see, my beloved, it is not the desire of the Ma-ter light to
force you to encounter situations that cause you suffering. And yet
the Ma-ter light is the mirror, so what can it do but reflect back what
you send into it? Yet the force of life itself does not want you to
keep projecting the same imperfect images onto the Ma-ter light. So
that is why the force of life is trying to help you awaken yourself,
so that you can change the images you hold in your mind—and thereby
change what you are projecting onto the Ma-ter light.
Yes, my beloved, life really is this simple. If only you will pay attention,
if only you will pick up the phone and listen to the message. Unfortunately,
I know that some of you do actually pick up the phone, but you respond
the same way as when you hear a recording that is trying to sell you
some product or service or political candidate. You immediately numb
your mind to the message or you put down the phone and do not listen
anymore.
But my beloved, it is not that your past is trying to be annoying by
repeating the same message. It is simply that the mirror, the cosmic
mirror, can only keep reflecting back to you the same image that you
are sending out. So do you see, my beloved, that it is not life that
is the cause of your annoyance. It is the rigidity of your own mind
and its unwillingness to look at its own beliefs. To evaluate whether
those beliefs make sense and then to replace the beliefs that do not
make sense with a higher understanding that springs from the Christ
mind.
Thus, my beloved, I am trying to awaken you to the absolute necessity
to be willing to look beyond the outer situations from your past and
look for the inner message, the inner lesson you need to learn from
those situations. And if you will do this honestly and openly, you will
see that whenever you have a situation that causes you to suffer, it
is because you are holding an imperfect belief about yourself and about
life.
And if you will only see the imperfection of that belief and reach for
the higher understanding of the Christ mind, then you can replace the
limiting belief with the true realization of who you are. And that will
change the image you are projecting onto the Ma-ter light. And with
absolute certainty, this will change what the cosmic mirror reflects
back to you in the form of outer circumstances.
My beloved, what I am telling you here, is not some kind of daydream,
some kind of unrealistic promise. What I am explaining to you here is
the most fundamental law of the material universe. The law that was
expressed in the Bible by saying, that as a man sows so will he surely
reap. And of course, this applies to a woman as well.
There is an alternative to suffering
So my beloved the law of God is simple. You have free will to do whatever
you want. You are a co-creator with God. And you are here to learn how
to use your co-creative abilities to create situations for yourself
that you can live with, that you can grow with. And thus you learn in
two ways. One is by listening to direction from within, from your Higher
Self, from your I AM Presence, from your spiritual teachers. But if
you will not listen for that direction, or if you will not use even
your reasoning mind to find direction on your own, well then you must
learn in the other way, which is the school of hard knocks—by
seeing the Ma-ter light reflect back to you physical circumstances that
outpicture the circumstances in your mind.
And thus, my beloved, the law of God is this. You have a right to create
any mental image you want. You have a right to project that mental image
outside your own mind. But when you do so, you will inevitably experience
the physical situations that outpicture your mental image. You will
experience what you project upon life. You will experience what you
co-create through the power of your mind by projecting a mental image
onto the Ma-ter light.
And thus, my beloved, God and myself and all spiritual teachers, firmly
uphold your right to co-create any circumstance you want. Yet my beloved,
we would like you to understand that if you co-create circumstances
that cause you suffering, then you have an alternative to continuing
to create the same circumstances. Yet the only way to stop the repetitive
cycle that leads to suffering is to change the cause of the outer circumstances.
And my beloved, I know full well that throughout history people have
come up with all kinds of excuses that make it seem like they are not
in control of the outer circumstances, that they did not create them,
that somehow God, fate, luck or other people created those circumstances.
But my beloved, the stark reality is that you have co-created your own
circumstances because you have formed mental images and you have projected
those images onto the Ma-ter light.
And thus, the only way – the absolute only way – that those
outer circumstances can be changed is that you change the cause of the
outer circumstances. For my beloved, would you not agree that if you
want to change an effect, you have to change the cause that creates
that effect? And what I am telling you is that the effect is your outer
circumstances. And the cause of that effect is the mental images you
hold in your mind. And thus, the only way to change your outer circumstances
is to change those mental images.
My beloved, how can you change the mental images in your mind? Well,
there is no other way but to do so consciously by seeing the mental
images – seeing that they are based on the duality consciousness,
on the illusions of the mind of antichrist – and then consciously
letting them go, replacing the illusions with the truth of Christ.
My beloved, please take note of what I am saying. It is not a matter
of somehow justifying the beliefs you have accepted in the past. Oh
my beloved, if you will look at this honestly, you will see that when
so many people are confronted with a possibility that they might have
an imperfect belief, they go into a defensive reaction. My beloved,
this defensive reaction is the reaction of the ego – the default
reaction of the ego – which simply will not acknowledge that it
could be wrong.
And thus it goes into a reaction of trying to defend or justify its
beliefs.
Yet my beloved, what I hope you can see is that if you keep trying to
justify a past belief, you will simply build on to that belief. And
thus, you will keep sending mental images into the cosmic mirror that
are based on that original belief. And so, of course, what can the cosmic
mirror do but send back to you the same kind of circumstances that you
have created all along?
So my beloved, will you please realize that if you keep doing the same
thing and expect different results, then you are trapped in the basic
insanity of the human ego. And therefore, you must step away from the
old patterns and simply be willing to openly acknowledge that certain
beliefs from your past are limiting yourself. And thus, it is not in
your own best interest to uphold those beliefs. On the contrary, it
is in your own best interest to simply let them go.
You are more than your past
My beloved, the key realization here is the teaching I have given in
my book, and that we have given over and over again on our websites,
including in Jesus’
discourses on the ego. That teaching simply says that the core of
your identity is the conscious self, the Conscious You. The Conscious
You is a spark of God’s own being. And thus, it is infinitely
more than your past, than any circumstance or any belief from your past.
And thus, your conscious self has the God-given right and the God-given
ability to step outside of its identification with your past. And my
beloved, you can do so at any moment, including right now.
Thus, I ask you to acknowledge that there is a force in this world that
is very determined to keep you trapped in your identification with the
past, so that you do not think you can let go of the past. And so that
you might even fear that if you let go of the past, you lose your very
identity. My beloved, this force is comprised of your personal ego,
the egos of other people and the entire dark force, the force of anti-christ,
what Jesus called the prince of this world. And thus, the prince of
this world will constantly come to you, and he will come to see if he
can make you attached to the past, so that you are not willing to simply
let it go, to let the imperfect beliefs go by acknowledging that you
are more than any imperfect beliefs.
My beloved, do you truly hear what I am saying here? You have the God-given
right and the ability to let go of any imperfect belief from the past.
How can you do this? By being willing to look at the belief, acknowledge
that it is unreal, that it springs from the mind of anti-christ. And
then you can acknowledge that you are more than the belief. And thus,
the belief is simply like an old worn-out coat that you took on sometime
in the past. But you can take that coat off at any time and throw it
onto the fire and let it be burned so that it is consumed and is no
more.
And thus, you can take off the old sense of identity, based on that
belief, and throw it into the spiritual fires of the violet flame and
the flame of forgiveness, and you can simply let it go. For my beloved,
the flame of forgiveness, what we have called the violet flame or the
flame of mercy, is simply the cosmic eraser that allows you to take
the old worn-out sense of identity that you have built and throw it
into the fire. For my beloved, your God is truly a consuming fire that
can consume all imperfect sense of self that you might have built in
any past lifetime.
And so my beloved you have an alternative to repeating these old patterns.
And that alternative is to take off the overcoat of your imperfect sense
of identity and throw it onto the bonfire of God, where it will be consumed
and you will then be free as if that identity had never existed.
The master key to letting go
But my beloved, what is the master key to doing this? What is the master
key to letting go of an imperfect sense of identity? Well my beloved,
it is the willingness to forgive. In order to be free of your past,
you must forgive and you must forgive unconditionally.
Do you see, my beloved, that your ego has tricked you into thinking
that in order for you to forgive, certain conditions must be fulfilled?
For example, many people believe that in order to forgive someone who
has hurt them, then that person must somehow be punished first. And
only when the person has been sufficiently punished, can you forgive
that person. Or some people might believe that only if the other person
has truly changed, can you forgive that person.
This, of course, is a belief that will be like a double-edged sword,
where one edge of the sword is pointing to yourself and therefore able
to give yourself a nasty wound. For beloved, what you do unto others
is what you have already done to yourself. This is the reason why Jesus
told you to do unto others as you want them to do to yourself. But the
deeper meaning is that you can only do unto others what you have already
done to yourself, both good and bad.
So if you think that other people must live up to certain conditions
before they can be forgiven, then you also think that you must live
up to certain conditions before you can be forgiven. And my beloved,
your ego is very clever at defining such conditions and defining them
in such a way that no one can live up to them, including yourself. And
that is how your ego keeps you trapped in the cycle of never wanting
to forgive others and never wanting to forgive yourself. My beloved,
your ego essentially makes you believe that because you have made certain
mistakes in the past, you are unforgivable, you are unredeemable, you
can never rise above that past and be free of it.
Do you see, my beloved, that the last thing your ego wants you to realize
is that you have the God-given right and the power to simply walk away
from the imperfections of your past? Your ego does not want you to realize
that you can do this. And it does not want you to realize that you can
do this by openly acknowledging the imperfect beliefs that caused you
to encounter those physical situations that gave you so much pain.
Thus, my beloved, will you not please realize that the master key to
rising above your past is to forgive—but not to forgive in a human
way that is based on outer conditions. No, my beloved, the master key
to rising above your past is to forgive unconditionally.
Do you see, my beloved, when you have not forgiven another person, you
are in reality holding on to the old situation. And that means you are
holding on – whether you are aware of this or not – to the
pain created in that situation when the other person hurt you. And that
pain pulls on your conscious attention and pulls you into remembering
that situation. And whenever you think about that situation, you reinforce
the original hurt, the original pain and the original anger against
the other person. And thereby, you tie yourself to your past and you
actually reinforce the past.
And thus, you see, my beloved, by not forgiving the other person, you
are harming yourself because you are holding on to the imperfect images
and feelings, and you are projecting them onto the Ma-ter light. And
thus the Ma-ter light must reason that you want to experience situations
where other people hurt you. And thus, what is the Ma-ter light going
to give you? Well, my beloved, it has no other option than to give you
future situations where other people hurt you. Because it truly believes
that that is what you want to experience, based on the fact that you
are projecting a mental and emotional image into the cosmic mirror of
other people hurting you.
Non-forgiveness hurts yourself
So my beloved, can you finally see here that when you do not forgive
other people, you are in reality hurting yourself? And what is the excuse
you use for not forgiving others? Well, it is that they do not live
up to the outer conditions that your ego has defined. And therefore,
it seems as if – as long as other people do not live up to those
outer conditions – you cannot let go of the situation, you cannot
forgive and rise above it.
But my beloved, do you not see that this is the very same psychology
that caused you to be hurt in the original situation? Because what happened
in the original situation was that somebody else did something to you.
But my beloved, it was not what they did to you that caused you to be
hurt. It was the imperfect beliefs that you hold about yourself and
life that caused you to respond to that situation in a way that hurt
yourself.
And so, do you see that what really caused the hurt in that original
situation was that you had a belief that turned you into a passive victim?
You thought that when other people did certain things to you, you could
only respond with negative feelings that cause you to be hurt. And thus,
it was this belief that turned you into a victim in the original situation.
And my beloved, can you not please see here that even today you are
holding on to the belief that you are a victim by thinking that only
when the other person lives up to certain conditions can you forgive
that person and let go of the situation. So can you not see that by
not forgiving, you are actually perpetuating the original situation—projecting
the beliefs and the feelings from that situation into the cosmic mirror,
thereby inevitably setting yourself up to reap what you have sown. Which
is that you have projected an imperfect mental image into the mirror,
and thereby inevitably set in motion a chain reaction that will eventually
return to you physical situations that reflect your mental image.
Thus, my beloved what can break this situation? Well, there is only
one thing that can break it. And that is that you pick up the telephone
and listen long enough to realize that what life is trying to teach
you is that it is your own beliefs that cause you to be hurt. And only
by changing your own beliefs, can you break the cycle of experiencing
physical situations that put you in a situation – in your own
mind – where you think that your only potential response is to
respond as a victim and feel hurt.
Take back your power to choose how you respond
And thus, my beloved, can you not please realize here that the only
thing that can change the equation is that you change the way you look
at the equation, the way you look at life, the way you look at yourself.
My beloved, you must take back your power to respond to situations based
on a choice you make today – now – instead of a choice you
made in the past.
For in the past you chose to accept an imperfect belief about yourself.
And as long as you allow that belief to remain in your subconscious
mind, well my beloved you cannot make a choice as to how you will respond
to the situations you will experience in the present. For that choice
was already made in the past, and you can only repeat the same old pattern
over and over again.
So what can break the situation is that you become aware of what is
happening, and therefore you decide to go back and look at the original
belief and dismiss it as being unreal. And when you have dismissed the
belief, then, my beloved, the next time you experience a similar situation,
you will not have that baggage weighing you down. And thus, your mind
will be able to say, “But you know, I don’t have to respond
to this situation by feeling hurt, by feeling afraid, by feeling ashamed,
by coming down on myself and thinking I am a bad person because someone
else treats me as if I was a bad person.”
Instead, you can realize that what the other person does to you is a
reflection of that person’s state of consciousness. It is not
because the other person has an imperfect image of you, although this
might seems to be so based on the person’s outer mind and actions.
In reality, the person has an imperfect image of him or herself, and
the person is projecting that image upon you. But you do not have to
accept the other person’s image of you. For you have a God-given
right to live your life based on the images in your own mind. And thus,
you can choose to respond to the other person freely—when you
do not accept the other person’s images or any other limiting
beliefs from your own past.
And so what is the key, my beloved, to letting go of these imperfect
images that you accepted in the past or that other people have accepted?
What is the key to not being affected by the imperfect beliefs of other
people or the imperfect beliefs of your own past self? Well, it is,
my beloved, to forgive—to forgive by being completely non-attached
to what is projected at you from other people or from your own mind.
It is to accept the absolute power to unconditionally forgive yourself
or other people and to simply let go of all sense of hurt, all sense
of pain.
Perpetual forgiveness
My beloved, I know that once you have become caught in this downward
spiral of hurt and pain, it can seem as if there is no way out. But
my beloved, I have indeed risen over the human condition and so have
many other ascended Beings. And thus, I must tell you that most people
on Earth are caught in an illusion. But the reality proven by so many
ascended beings is that you can indeed rise above the downward spirals
from the past.
But you can do so not by transforming the past, not by controlling the
past or controlling other people. You can do so only by transforming
the way you look at the past, so you are willing to let go of the belief
that you have been holding on to up until now.
Do you see, my beloved, that it is not a matter of finding some magic
wand that can set you free from the past? The magic wand is your conscious
awareness and your willingness to simply let go, to let go of the pain,
to let go of the hurt, to let go of the belief that you need to respond
to certain situations in a negative way, to let go of the entire tendency
to think that in certain situations you can only respond with negative
feelings.
You see, my beloved, once you truly enter into the spirit of forgiveness
– and allow the spirit of forgiveness to enter into your lower
being – well then you will be in a state of perpetual forgiveness,
so that you have already forgiven yourself and other people before they
have done anything to you.
And thus, when they do something to you – for truly you cannot
control the actions of others – well then they are already forgiven.
And when you know that they are already forgiven, you also know that
you can then stay free of any negative reaction, no matter what other
people do to you. And thereby, my beloved, you can follow the most profound
advice given by Jesus, namely that you resist not evil, but when a person
smites you on one cheek, you will turn to him the other also.
My beloved, turning the other cheek can be done only when you are in
a state of perpetual and unconditional forgiveness. And so, when some
person does something to you, you do not go into a negative reaction.
You stay in peace. You stay in love. You stay in forgiveness. And thus,
you simply turn the other cheek so that you can give the other person
another opportunity to see his or her own evil, his or her own imperfections.
Helping others see their illusions
For my beloved, what happens when a person hurts you and you respond
negatively and seek to hurt the other person? Well, my beloved, do you
not validate the other person’s belief that you are a bad person?
And was it not such a belief that in most cases caused other people
to hurt you in the first place, namely that they believe you have done
something wrong and you deserve to be punished or hurt.
And so, when you allow yourself to be hurt and respond back by trying
to hurt them or defend yourself, then you only reinforce the other person’s
belief. And you not only reinforce the belief in the mind of the other
person, but you reinforce it in your own mind. For after all, it was
only because you have an imperfect belief about yourself that you allowed
the other person’s actions to hurt you.
And so, my beloved, when you turn the other cheek, you break the spiral.
When you respond with love when someone else hurts you, you are challenging
the other person’s belief that you are a bad person or that you
deserve to be punished. You are showing the other person that you are
a person who can respond with love. And thereby, the other person is
forced to reconsider his or her own actions and his or her own image
of you. And this can often help people step out of their own illusions,
so that they see that they are trapped in imperfect beliefs about themselves
and about life. And thus, they receive an opportunity to overcome those
beliefs.
Yes, my beloved, I know full well that there are persons with whom you
can turn the other cheek and they will hurt you again. But you see,
my beloved, when you turn the other cheek in perfect love and forgiveness
– in unconditional forgiveness – and another person still
hurts you, then that second act of hurting you becomes the person’s
judgment.
And that judgment will release a reaction from life itself that will
cause that person to experience such an accelerated return of what it
is sending into the cosmic mirror. And that accelerated return will
either cause the person to wake up or will ultimately cause the person
to be judged to the point where the person will not be allowed to reincarnate
on Earth until it has changed its consciousness.
And thus, you see, my beloved, what Jesus was really saying was that
if people would adopt his advice of turning the other cheek and not
resisting evil, then they would allow the law of God to work in full
measure. And by doing this, the law of God will actually be able to
remove evil from the Earth at an accelerated rate.
For you see, my beloved, when you allow other people to hurt you while
you are turning the other cheek, well then God can step in and remove
those people from the Earth. And thereby, you will quickly have a situation
where the most evil people – the most selfish self-centered, egotistical
people – will be removed from the Earth. And therefore, humankind
as a whole will simply rise up to a higher level and overcome certain
states of consciousness that you today see outplayed over and over again
in a seemingly endless spiral of people hurting each other and seeking
revenge for hurt—thereby creating a new hurt that gives the other
people an excuse for seeking revenge.
Breaking the cycle of revenge
My beloved, can you not see that this has been going on over and over
again on this planet, especially in the Middle East, where the cycle
of revenge and revenge for revenge goes on and on. And thus, can you
not see that this downward spiral will not be broken until someone decides
that they have had enough. They will not perpetuate the cycle, and therefore
they will do something completely different instead of responding to
hurt with pain and revenge and a desire to punish. They will respond
with love and unconditional forgiveness.
Ah my beloved, can you also see that by doing this, you will set yourself
free from any ties to the people who have hurt you? And my beloved,
when you think about it, does it make any sense whatsoever that when
a person has hurt you, you will want to keep yourself tied to that person?
My beloved, unless you are a masochist – which I trust most
of you are not – why would you want to come back and invite another
person to hurt you again? You see, my beloved, if someone hurts you,
your logical response should be that you simply want to be free of that
person and never encounter them again. But you see, if you go into the
cycle of being hurt and wanting the other person to be punished, you
tie yourself to that person.
For my beloved, the very desire to punish another person means that
you are not willing to turn away from that person until you have seen
the other person be punished. And so, therefore, you will automatically
keep yourself tied to that person until you feel that the person has
been punished sufficiently. And my beloved, that might not happen in
this lifetime or even in many lifetimes. And this is indeed how people
in the Middle East have created these ties with each other, so that
the same souls keep reincarnating over and over again.
And my beloved, I have told you before that it is not a matter of the
outer race or religion, for people will switch places so that many of
the people who are now incarnated as Jews were in their past lives incarnated
as Germans who perpetrated the Holocaust or as Arabs who persecuted
the Jews. And many of the people who are now Arabs were in past lives
Jews.
And so you see, my beloved, it is these people’s unwillingness
to forgive unconditionally that keeps them repeating these cycles. For
there is indeed an entire consciousness in the Arab world that believes
that Jews cannot forgiven. And there is a consciousness in the Jewish
community that believes that Arabs or Germans or Christians cannot be
forgiven. And so you see, my beloved, when a person is born into a certain
culture, the challenge for that person is to rise above the cultural
belief and to forgive unconditionally, to forgive regardless of the
cultural belief.
For the person must realize that he or she is more than the cultural
belief, more than race, more than religion, more than political affiliation,
more than national affiliation or any other outer label. And thus, when
you forgive regardless of outer labels, you also set yourself free from
these labels. And that is how you can rise and transcend yourself and
rejoin the River of Life, whereby you experience that bliss of constant
self-transcendence.
My tool for overcoming the past
My beloved, I could go on with this discourse forever by citing examples
of how people hurt themselves by not forgiving. But if what I have said
so far is not enough to make you think and look at your past in a different
way, then what is the point of going on?
So I will return to my opening theme, and I will say, “This dictation
is a telephone call from your cosmic Mother. Please pick up the phone
and listen to my message!” And if you feel that you have not understood
the fullness of my message by reading or listening once, then I ask
you to listen again. For my beloved, I am willing to repeat my message
as many times as it takes for you to understand my point.
So try me. Ask me for my inner direction. Ask me to show you the message
behind the outer situations you encounter. Ask me, and I will show you—if
you will but pick up the phone and listen.
And thus, my beloved, as an outer instrument for helping you listen
to the message from your past, I am releasing now this new
rosary for rising above your past, which truly is a very powerful
ritual that can help you learn the message from the past. But my beloved,
more than being a powerful ritual for you personally, it is a ritual
that can have profound planetary implications.
And that is why I ask those of you who have participated in my rosary
vigils – and even those of you who have not yet found time or
priority in your life to participate in a regular vigil – well
my beloved, I ask you now to make an extraordinary effort to participate
in the vigil of giving this rosary for rising above the past for the
last 33 days of this year 2006.
And I ask you, in the beginning of this rosary, to make your own personal
calls for the raising up of the people in the Middle East to understand
the need to let go of the past and to understand the power of unconditional
forgiveness, to understand precisely the points that I have made in
this discourse and that are being made in the rosary.
And my beloved, if a critical mass of people will do this vigil, then
I can assure you that it will have the most profound implications on
the situation in the Middle East that you can possibly imagine. For
my beloved, I trust that those of you who are alert can see that the
one thing that more than anything blocks a resolution to the outer conditions
in the Middle East, is the inner condition of an unwillingness to forgive.
An unwillingness to simply let go of the past and start anew, to look
at life, to look at the situation in the Middle East with new eyes and
say, “How can we create a better future, a future where we are
not condemning ourselves and each other to repeating the same old patterns
from the past?”
So my beloved, I ask you with all the love of my heart to please participate
in this vigil for the Middle East. And in so doing, I make you the promise
that I will personally multiply the calls you make and that I will personally
make the calls for you to overcome your past, as you are making the
calls for the people in the Middle East to overcome their past. And
thus, my beloved, you will see that the calls made by the Divine Mother
on your behalf will have an even more profound impact on your life than
any calls you can make on your own.
And thus, I ask you to participate in this vigil with me, whereby we
can create a figure-eight flow between me here Above and you below—so
that we can be as Above, so below. And so that we can be the force for
the spreading of the Flame of Forgiveness and the Spirit of Forgiveness
to all corners of the Earth. But my beloved, let us start in the darkest
corner, namely the Middle East.
Thus, I bid you peace, and I bid you a joyful Christmas season. For
my beloved, is not the Christmas spirit itself the very Spirit of Forgiveness,
the very spirit that awakens people to the possibility of being reborn,
of starting life afresh, of starting a new day. Is not the life of Christ,
the birth of Christ, another telephone call from life, seeking to awaken
humankind to the possibility of rising above the past and rising into
the new day of the kingdom of God.
Thus, I seal you in the Flame of Unconditional Forgiveness. For when
your forgiveness is unconditional, your joy will be full.
