The Mystery of
the Road of Life
Early in the
morning, on May 17, 1988, the word of The Lord Jesus Christ came to me again,
saying:
“In the Gospel according
to John, Chapter 14 verse 6-7, it is written:
“Jesus said to
him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you have known me you would have known Him
and have seen Him.”
And further down
in verse 9, it is said,
“... He who has
seen Me has seen the Father.”
Certain important
mysteries are contained in these words that need further explanation.
The life of each
individual, no matter where, when and under what condition that individual lives,
can be compared to a road which he/she travels.
There is a
starting point at which that road is entered by each particular
individual. The starting point is when
the idea of that individual is born and is endowed with a unique sentient mind.
Once the road is
entered, the travel begins. The entrance
of that road always has a certain purpose.
As you remember, before any particular individual enters that road,
he/she is given free choice to decide whether he/she really wants to enter that
road with a particular assignment and mission to travel that road in a
particular way, by particular routes or paths or highways or freeways or all of
them at different times.
And although for
each particular individual there is always a starting point when and where that
travel begins, in actuality, that travel never ends.
However, in the
process of traveling, many rest places exist where the traveler can rest,
re-energize himself/herself and make a fresh choice in which manner or by what
route to continue in his/her travel. But
there is a relative ending of that travel within the frame of spiritual quality
that each cycle of time represents and manifests.
The process of
this travel can be conceptualized as an individualized manifestation of the
unique and specific aspect of the Absolute Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ,
which was placed into each individual in a degree relevant to the nature of the
level of spirituality which is being represented and manifested by each current
cycle of time.
The mystery of
this situation is in the fact that manifestation of any aspect of the Absolute
Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ is possible only through sentient entities who
reflect that Nature in a relative condition.
Because it is a relative condition, each such aspect releases only so
much of its content as that relative condition is capable of hearing at each
particular point of the individualized life.
Another mystery of
this situation is that each individual, being relative, by carrying that aspect
within himself/herself and by manifesting its nature through being his/her own
unique personality and individuality, is built up in his/her strength, potency
and ability to manifest, sometime in the future, after the process of this
build-up is successfully completed, a higher, more potent and more exact nature
of this aspect in comparison with its Original Absolute Source.
Now, when this
build-up is successfully completed and each individual is ready to assume a
life which will be characterized by the higher level of manifestation of the
nature of the aspect in question, the end of his/her traveling is at hand. At that point, for that particular
individual, the goal of his/her life is finished and he/she receives an
appropriate reward for successful completion of the role assigned to him/her on
this portion of the Road of Life.
At this point, for
that individual, a deeply mysterious and mystical transformative process
occurs. From that process, this
individual emerges as a totally different person who has very little in common
with who he/ she was before. The
quality, the content, the appearance and everything else of that individual are
completely changed. No on who used to
know that individual, during the time of his/her travel on the Road of Life
would be able to recognize him/her at the first glance.
The reason for
this change is in the fact that the entire being and existence of that
individual, as well as his/her unique personality and individuality, are now
accommodated to carry and to manifest a different level of spiritual reality
which is contained in that aspect of the Absolute Nature of The Lord Jesus
Christ placed into that individual, giving him/her his/her unique and specific
life.
What you have to understand
here is a mystery of manifestation of something which is absolute in something
which is relative to that absolute. As
you know, the relative condition is not capable of manifesting anything
absolute in its absolute sense, to the fullest of its absolute nature.
Yet, as you
remember, the Absolute
State, in its Absolute
Love and Absolute Wisdom, desires nothing more than to share Its Absolute
Nature with everyone in its absolute sense.
In order to
approximate such a possibility, the way is devised by The Lord Jesus Christ
which makes it feasible for the sharing of this nature to occur.
You take out one element from that aspect. That element, in its original state, is taken
out from the most outward position of the Most Within Inwardness. Such an element can take hold in a relative
condition. It gives life to each
particular reality itself. At the same
time, by manifesting the most external element of that Most Absolute Within in
that relative condition, that relative condition, by the process of
manifestation itself, is becoming stronger and stronger, preparing itself for
reception of a different, more inward element of the representative aspect,
which constitutes one's unique nature given to that one as a gift by the
Absolute Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, the quality,
the content and the means of manifestation of this new element are
fundamentally different from the quality, the content and the means of
manifestation of any previous element. This
is so because nothing is duplicated or redundant in the Absolute Nature of The
Lord Jesus Christ.
Because each
individual's nature, mode of life, as well as his/her physical appearance, is
determined by the quality, the content and the mode of impression and
expression of that element, with any new readiness to reflect a different,
spiritually more inward element, that individual completely changes from the
most within level of his/her mind to the most external physical form of his/her
manifestation.
Before this change
occurs, and after finishing the goal of the previously traveled Road of Life,
there is an interim period, during which, as you remember, his/her personal
Last Judgment takes place.
At this point, the
individual is asked whether he/she is willing, by his/her own free will and
choice, to assume to carry and manifest a different, higher element of the
aspect of life which was placed into him/her by The Lord Jesus Christ. If he/she does agree, which is always the
case (there is nothing more pleasurable than to do just that - doing it has an
experience that far transcends the orgasmic human experience), he/she reenters
the Road of Life at a different point and at a different level, relevant to
his/' her spiritual state and awareness which corresponds to the needs of each
cycle of time. Each particular cycle of
time carries and manifests a cumulative sum of all elements of all the aspects
of each sentient entity. This cumulative
sum becomes an approximation of the Absolute Nature of
that One Global Absolute Aspect, redistributed among all sentient entities and
carried by each particular cycle of time.
Once all elements
of that global aspect of the Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ are fully
manifested and the cycle of time in question, in its globality, is ready to
transcend itself, that cycle of time ends and an interim state comes into
force. The goal of life of the entire
cycle of time was reached and completed.
At this point, a
global Last Judgment takes place, during which everyone is asked if they want
to continue, in their globality, as well as in their particular individuality
and locality, to carry and to manifest a different, higher, spiritually more
approximate, element of the global aspect of The Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of their
nature, which they have from the Creator - The Lord Jesus Christ - all sentient
entities are motivated to continue in this process of approximation of the
nature of The Lord Jesus Christ, being eternally closer and closer to it. For that reason, they always choose to
continue. Once the choice is made, a new
cycle of time, with sentient entities totally and completely changed and
transformed, comes into its being and existence.
One of the unusual
mysteries in relationship between the Absolute State of The Lord Jesus Christ
and the relative sentient entities is in the fact that the process of life is
reversed. The Absolute State
is the State of the Absolute Inwardness from which the process is initiated
toward the without. This is the Absolute
Process from within to without. But in
everyone else, as far as the approximation of the Nature of The Lord Jesus
Christ is concerned only, the process begins from carrying and manifesting
the most external outward element of that Absolute Within to gradually
proceeding more and more inward, that is, to the closer and closer
approximation of the State of the Absolute Inwardness. Because relative
individuals can never become absolute, the process continues to eternity.
After all, the
Absolute would not be Absolute if it were exhaustible. But each individual can and may approximate
this Absolute Inwardness.
However, this rule
is applicable only in relationship between the relative individuals and the
Absolute Lord Jesus Christ and only to the process of approximation. By its very nature, the relative condition,
in its initial stage, is not capable of carrying and manifesting anything else
but the most outward element of that Inwardness. It must be built up very gradually, in
relatively small steps, toward moving from the most outward position to the
most inward position. This is an eternal
process of approximation which can never be finished or completed. As far as each individual is concerned, being
that he/she is the likeness and image of his/her Creator, the life of that
individual reflects fully the Absolute Multiversal Law of From Within to
Without. One can relate to The Lord
Jesus Christ only from the position of his/her own within; and one always rules
one's life, in a positive manner, from within to without.
This individual
arrangement can be called a parallel process. In this process, each individual, by
his/her unique nature, parallels the Absolute Nature of
The Lord Jesus Christ in a relative condition.
Through such a paralleling, the presence of The Lord Jesus Christ in the
relative condition is eternally assured.
The other process,
in which one moves closer and closer toward becoming as and like The Lord Jesus
Christ, can be called a process of approximation. In this process, one approximates the
Absolute Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ.
Because this approximation is from the position of the 'to' to the
position of the 'from,' the 'to' starts at the most remote point from the
Center - the Absolute Inwardness ('From') - and moves from without of that
within to its within.
Philosophically
speaking, a parallel process gives an impetus to the
establishment of subjective perception of time.
From that perception, time becomes an objectified reality in the natural
degree of Creation and in the natural degree of the Zone of Displacement, as
well as the distortion of time on planet Zero.
On the other hand,
the process of approximation gives an impetus to the
establishment of the subjective perception of space. From this perception, space becomes an
objectified reality in the natural degree of Creation, the Zone of Displacement
and distortion of space on planet Zero.
In a spiritual
sense, the less one is in the state of one's own inwardness, the longer it
takes to relate to The Lord Jesus Christ, to others and to oneself. In the negative state, which is the state of
denial of this inwardness, it takes 'forever' to spiritually accomplish
anything at all.
On the other hand,
spiritually speaking, the greater degree of outwardness one represents, the
farther away from The Lord Jesus Christ one appears. In the negative state, where there is no
attempt to approximate the Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ in any manner and
way, but, instead, to deny it, everyone appears as though they do not exist at
all or they appear trillions and trillions of light years away from The Lord
Jesus Christ.
All these factors
are, of course, only subjective appearances because, in reality, no truly
objective time and space exist. As you
see, their existence is determined by one's attitude, mode of thinking,
feeling, state and position that one has and represents in relationship toward
The Lord Jesus Christ.
The great mystery
here is in the fact that all conditions, states, processes, times, distances,
places and whatever you have in the entire multiverse of Creation, the Zone of
Displacement and planet Zero, as well as in the life of each particular
individual, without any exception or exclusion, are determined, happen and depend
on general and specific ideas, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, behaviors and
knowledges (plural!) that everyone together, and as a singular individual, has
toward The Lord Jesus Christ. it also determines in the minutest detail what is
going to happen to you during your specific and unique travel on the Road of
Life.
It is logical to assume that such is the case if you
take into consideration that The Lord Jesus Christ is the Absolute Within or Inwardness
from which everything else, but the negative state, proceeds. The negative state proceeds instead from
those who deny that this is the case.
Now, in
connotation of this great mystery, the words of The Lord Jesus Christ, as
quoted at the beginning of this Chapter, must be interpreted. The Lord Jesus
Christ, knowing that He/She will become The Lord Jesus Christ, being at that
time Jesus Christ, stated very clearly and distinctly,
‘I am the way, the truth and the life.’
This statement
confirms several important factors: The way of life or the Road of Life, which
one is to travel and on which one is to keep going, is with, from, through, by
and of The Lord Jesus Christ. It is
obvious that if He/She built that Road from and by Himself/Herself, He/She becomes
that very Road. What other road is there
in being and existence? The road of the
denial of this fact! Such a road
is the road of the negative state and its dead life. The truth of this matter is in the fact that
no other truth exists but that The Lord Jesus Christ is the only source of the
true life. This is the Absolute Wisdom
of the Absolute Truth.
If The Lord Jesus
Christ is the only one God Indivisible, The Most High, the Creator, The Truth Himself/Herself,
what other truth is there in being and existence? Denial of this truth constitutes the lies of
all falsities. They are the nature of
the negative state which denies vehemently this truth. Because it is an Absolute Truth that the true
life proceeds from The Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Absolute Life in and by
Himself/ Herself, what other life is there in being and existence but the life
of The Lord Jesus Christ? Can anyone
live and be alive without being and existence of life, that is, without The
Lord Jesus Christ? Such a state is
utterly inconceivable. Now, the denial
of this life constitutes the dead life of the negative state.
Thus, the only
way, the only truth, the only road and the only life is The Lord Jesus
Christ. This is Absolute Spiritual
Logic. Denial of this indisputable and
axiomatic fact constitutes the nature of the negative state which is illogical,
irrational and insane. It equals the denial
of life while one experiences that life and his/her own aliveness within oneself. Such a denial does not make any sense. But, after all, has there ever been anything
at all in the negative state that would make any sense? The only Sense the negative state has is its
total nonsense!
No one comes to
the Father except through Me.' In this verse, the word 'Father' has an entirely
different connotation than it has, for example, in the original Lord’s
Prayer. Here it signifies the Absolute
State of the Absolute Inwardness of the Absolute Within from which everything
else proceeds. Nothing can be or exist
apart from this Absolute State. Because
of this fact, the word 'Father' is used to indicate the original Source of the
entire being and existence. In the
connotation of this word, the way it was used by Jesus Christ at that time, the
word 'Father' does not mean Masculine gender.
Instead, its true meaning is of being the only Parent of all else. The word 'parenthood' incorporates both the
masculine and the feminine Components or fatherhood and motherhood.
That no one can
come to the Father or the Absolute Originating Source of all and everything -
the Absolute Inwardness - signifies that, from the position of the relative
condition in relationship to the Absolute, one can approach the Father only by
and through His/Her external degree which was imbued in the form of the human
body-flesh of Jesus Christ. In
actuality, this means that only through the Divine which was made human and
through the Human which was made Divine - Jesus Christ - can one relate to or
approach from one's relative condition the Absolute State of Inwardness from
which all else originated - the Father.
Because no one is
absolute, that is, no one is in the Absolute State of Inwardness, no one can
relate to that Absolute from the very state of that Absolute. Since you are not in that state, you cannot
relate from it. But you can approximate
that state by accepting the fact about the New Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ
who, for that purpose, assumed the relative nature of the human
body-flesh. By incorporating that
body-flesh into the totality of the Absolute Nature of the Absolute Within -
the Father - one now is able to relate directly to The Lord Jesus Christ from
the position of one's relativity through the position of that relative
body-flesh of Jesus Christ. This is the
reason He/She stated that 'no one comes to the Father except through Me.' There
is no other way to relate to the Absolute God but through The Lord Jesus Christ
who became the totality of that God and of all else through the incorporation of
that body-flesh into His/Her Nature.
That this will be the case and that The Lord Jesus Christ will become
the Father, because the Father constitutes the Most Within of His/Her Nature,
is obvious from the statement that follows: 'He who has seen Me has seen the
Father.' Thus, there is no other Father in being and existence.
If The Lord Jesus
Christ is the Father, it is obvious then that to relate to any other Father or
God, under any other name or form or condition, is to relate to no one. But it also means to steal the true
parenthood from the One who is your real Parent and impart it on someone or
something that is not. In that case one becomes a spiritual thief
and a robber. This is what The Lord
Jesus Christ meant by the words in the Gospel according to John 10:1:
“Most assuredly, I
say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”
And in verse 7 of
the same chapter:
”Most assuredly, I
say to you, I am the door of the sheep.”
Thus, there is no
entrance into the state of the Most Within but through that door - the Human
Divine and the Divine Human - The Lord Jesus Christ. For this reason, if you want to travel the
Road of Life successfully, with a sense of fulfillment and joy, wherever and
whenever you are, you are advised to accept this New Nature of The Lord Jesus
Christ into your heart, inviting Him/Her to be your way, your truth and your
life. By doing that, you will be
approximating closer and closer His/Her Absolute Nature, which is called in the
quoted text - the Father.
He/she who has
ears to hear, let him/her hear what The Lord Jesus Christ reveals in this brief
chapter.”
