Q.48

There is nothing ‘real’ or ‘eternal’ in the personality. There is a great need to strip it away to reveal the Divine within. (L8)

In Palestine, I called this process a ‘dying to self’ which has proved to be a frightening statement. Because of it, many people have been deterred from stepping on to the path leading to the highest spiritual dimensions. And yes, that last step in the stripping process is indeed like a death. (L8)

A person loses an essential part of his human/earthly self whilst undergoing it, but the relief and the inner peace experienced when the struggle is finally over, cannot be described. Joy fills the heart. There is true security, rest and tranquillity in the silence of the mind. At last, the struggle for personal control is over. The person becomes a ‘master’. There follows a time of spiritual rest and recuperation. (L8)

This is later followed by a stepping into a new dimension of ‘being’. (L8)

Nothing in the human scene, ‘matters’ as it did before. (L8)

People criticise you? Previously, the magnetic personality would have made you feel angry because of your insecurity, your driving need to appear perfect to everyone, in order to gain approval. If you do not have approval, the ego argued, how will you survive? What will your life be like? (L8)

When the voice of the ‘ego’ has died away, there is no need to seek security for you are SECURE! (L8)

You know that you are sustained, maintained, nourished, protected, healed by ‘DIVINE-LIFE CONSCIOUSNESS’ no matter what others may think of you. Your joy, gladness, happiness, personal fulfilment and contentment are all inside you. In fact, you no longer need ‘otherness’ at all. (L8)

Except, you are a part of all ‘otherness’, and when the Light fills you, you have a driving need to render to others all that ‘DIVINE-LIFE CONSCIOUSNESS’ is pouring into you every moment of the day as you keep in constant touch with this beautiful dimension within you. (L8)

No longer do you reject the personality of others, everyone is acceptable to you, everyone is in need of love and now you have plenty of that to give. No longer is it a struggle to ‘love unconditionally’. It comes spontaneously. (L8)

Whatever faults you may have left, whatever mistakes you make in your attitudes to others, as a result of remnants of the ‘ego’ left behind, these are revealed to you but you do not shy away from self-knowledge but rather embrace it with love and thanksgiving. You discover that recognition and acceptance of the negative human reactions in yourself is both wholesome and healing. You happily accept and take responsibility for whatever mistakes you make and then when you have discerned the ‘loving way’, you let it go. You will experience inner peace, knowing that you have learnt something else valuable which will stand you in good stead when next you are challenged by earthly experiences. The time for deep remorse is over, since it has now done its work of releasing you from magnetic-emotional responses to life which brought you suffering in the past. (L8)

You have now entered what I termed ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ when I was on earth. You will find that all your needs are supplied and you will KNOW that any needs in the future will also be met almost spontaneously. This knowledge keeps you in constant touch with ‘DIVINE-LIFE’ and gives you an immense sense of security. (L8)

With the peace of mind and tranquillity come joy and happiness, and a new sense of youthful well-being. Minor, or chronic or even terminal ailments will be cleared up and you will again enter into a new phase of existence. Each time you learn a lesson, you leave something of the human dimension behind you and move forward into a higher frequency of spiritual consciousness. (L8)

I am describing for you the rewards which await you when you have struggled and dealt with the magnetic-emotional bondage of ‘attraction/bonding-rejection/repulsion’. It is these which initially give you individuality but which become fetters of the soul and from which you must break free in order to get off the treadmill. (L8)

This treadmill is the span of your present human life, continually turning, continually bearing you into experiences you do not enjoy. When, at last, you are able to transcend, in spirit, your magnetic-emotional reactions to life, the treadmill will begin to slow down and then, suddenly, you will find that you are almost stationary and you will begin to experience the beautiful quality of life I have described above. (L8)

Would that I could remove this burden imposed on you by your earthly humanhood. I know your suffering, your times of despair, your grief in the lonely night, your hours of mental and emotional turmoil. As I descend into your consciousness frequencies to transmit my messages and to understand what needs to be said to you, I become aware of your earthly conditions and these words are my response to your most urgent needs for relief and healing. (L8)

Do not doubt these words are from me. Take comfort from them and KNOW that as you study these words they will, in time, bring you deep illumination within your soul which will bring about the longed-for changes in your life and self. (L8)

This ‘death of the self-hood’ should never be undertaken as a means of achieving greater spiritual insight. It is highly dangerous and will not succeed in achieving greater spiritual or earthly life. It will be greatly destructive to the psyche and ego before due time. It will hinder the whole process of soul-psyche-ego-physical development. (L7)

No one should entertain such a thought in order to be more advanced in spiritual perception and truth. Such an act of ‘willpower’ will be self-defeating since it is born entirely of the ego-drive to be more important spiritually. (L7)
