Diversity
and tolerance are keys to a Golden Age society
A
message from Gautama Buddha. NOTE: This dictation was given
on 12/31/07 as part of the Shangra-la conference in Los Angeles, California.
The Buddha I AM, and I come to this Earth to bring peace, but not a
peace that is brought about by making everyone the same or forcing everyone
to become members of a particular religion or to live in a certain way.
For my beloved, such a peace cannot be peace for the simple reason that
when you seek to force all people into a particular system of thought
– be it a religion or political ideology – you create a
closed system that will inevitably break down under its own internal
conflicts and contradicting forces.
Thus, my beloved, you have seen this movie earlier,* of a society that
in periods had a great deal of harmony between different religions,
so that the members of those religions could live in peace and tolerance,
thus allowing their society – their shared community – to
flourish. And although the people did not truly understand the cause,
the cause, my beloved, was precisely that when diversity exists in a
harmonious setting, then the creative tension between different lifestyles
and beliefs will lead to growth and prosperity, both materially and
spiritually.
Yet you have also seen how – when one force becomes dominant and
seeks to destroy diversity and create uniformity – well then a
society enters a downward spiral that will eventually lead either to
its own destruction or to a revolution of some kind that brings that
society to a new and higher level. Thus my beloved, the lesson to learn
from a society such as the one outpictured in the film is that –
contrary to the beliefs held by many people – uniformity will
not bring peace. And my beloved, it is important for you to understand
why this is so.
Diversity does not cause conflict
And you can understand it by looking at a very simple fact, my beloved.
God – before anything was created – was One. This is
uniformity. But God did not desire to remain the One. God desired to
create, and in order to create anything, God had to become more than
the One, the undivided whole. So God expressed itself as the first polarity
of the expanding
and contracting force—the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the ending, the Father and Mother, or whatever you desire to call
it.
And then, out of that first polarity, sprang all of the diversity that
you have just seen in these images of the material universe.** But I
can assure you that in the spiritual world there is even more diversity
than what you find in the material realm. So thus, you see that the
driving force in creation is the drive to be MORE through diversification,
my beloved. And thus, you can see that the human desire to force everyone
to fit into a particular system or society is against the basic force
of life.
And thus, my beloved, that human desire to stop diversity can never
bring peace. It is an illusion, my beloved. For you see, it is actually
so that if human beings do attain a state where they have forced uniformity,
well then the conflicts that will inevitably arise are actually brought
about by the River of Life, by the force of life, because the River
of Life will create tension that will eventually manifest as a diversification
in society. And when there is a force that seeks to stop diversification,
then conflict is the inevitable result and you then see a society that
divides into separate factions.
And if there is no tolerance for diversification, well then those separate
factions must inevitably be at war with one another, possibly even leading
to a state where the society is fragmented or destroyed. So you see,
my beloved, it is not that the River of Life actually brings conflict.
It is not that diversification and differences actually bring conflict.
It is when human beings adopt the mindset that they need to stop diversification
and create an artificial state of uniformity—well then, my beloved,
conflict is the inevitable result.
You see, my beloved, if human beings are focused on becoming more and
are focused on bringing their societies into a state of being or becoming
more, well then there is no time or attention or energy left over for
conflict. For if you know that you can manifest more by applying yourself,
by expressing your creativity, then why would you have to have conflicts
with your neighbors?
Why would you have to control others, to take from others, when you
see that all are growing and becoming more? And so my beloved, you see
that the very foundation for a Golden Age is that human beings enter
into a state of consciousness, where they are focused on becoming more
rather than focused on seeking to control others—which is the
consciousness of becoming less.
Why Golden Age societies deteriorate
And yet my beloved, why is it then that there have been several past
golden ages that had attained a state where there was growth and abundance,
yet they could not maintain that state and stay in that growth pattern?
Well my beloved, the hidden explanation for this fact is that there
has not in any past Golden Age been a sufficient awareness of the fact
that there are lifestreams on this Earth who are so
trapped in the duality consciousness that they simply cannot see
any value in diversification and growth.
They do not want a society that grows, for in such a society all are
becoming more, and thus there will be less of a difference between the
low and the high. In fact, in a truly Golden Age society there will
be no people who are seen as better or higher or more valuable than
others. For all will be seen as being of equal value, being appreciated
not for their standing or their rank in some hierarchy on Earth, but
for their willingness to allow their built-in, God-given creativity
to express itself through them, so that the most creative people are
– not the most valuable – but the most appreciated.
And this, my beloved, is precisely what those who are trapped in the
consciousness of duality do not want to see in a society, for in such
a society, my beloved, they have no possibility whatsoever of attaining
high positions. For the very fact that they are blinded by the duality
consciousness means that they are cut off from the flow of the River
of Life and thus cannot express their built-in creativity. They will
not let that creativity flow, and thus in a society that rewards creativity
they cannot attain high positions and thus cannot attain positions that
give them the illusion that they are better than other people.
And since they are bent on attaining such positions, my beloved, you
see that such people – who are driven by power – must stop
creativity, for they see it as a threat. And thus, my beloved, how do
these lifestreams – which we might call the blind leaders of the
blind as Jesus calls it, or we might call it the fallen lifestreams
– how do they manage to destroy the Golden Age society and take
it into a downward spiral? Well my beloved, they do it, of course, by
perverting the very driving force behind that society, which is creativity
that expresses itself through diverse manifestations.
And so they take the diversity and they process it through their own
dualistic consciousness. And therefore, they come up with a thought
system, a philosophy, or even a popular culture that suddenly portrays
diversification as a threat, as a source of conflict. Where they manage
to get one distinctly separate group of people to see themselves as
separated from the rest of society and see that those who belong to
a different group are a threat to themselves, or a threat to society,
or a threat to progress, or a threat to God or whatever appeals to the
people in that society and culture.
So you see, my beloved, because there was not a sufficient awareness
of the duality consciousness and how it affects the people who are blinded
by it, well because of that very reason, many past Golden Age societies
eventually went into a downward spiral. Where the people – instead
of seeing diversification and creativity as the very cause of their
abundance – now entered into the consciousness of seeing it as
a threat to the stability of their society.
They came to believe, my beloved, that maintaining a Golden Age society,
maintaining the kind of society and culture they had, necessitated the
clamping down on the creative flow because the creative flow was seen
as the threat that could bring forth something that would upset status
quo and therefore threaten society. When, in reality, the fact is that
diversification and creativity is the only thing that can secure the
long-term survival of a Golden Age society, for that is the only way
a society can flow with the River of Life instead of becoming a closed
system that deteriorates through the forces described in the second
law of thermodynamics.
Religion as an excuse for conflict
So my beloved, what you have seen in this film was an example of how
religion can so often be used as the outer excuse for creating tension
between different groups of people. And this society of Al-Andalus*
is not the only example where a booming, creative, civilization and
culture was destroyed through religious division and strife. In fact,
my beloved, when I embodied on Earth, I embodied in a culture where
the Hindu religion itself had become the source of strife, the source
of contention, the source of conflict.
And this was precisely because in the Hindu religion, so many diverse
groupings had sprung up, each claiming to have the ultimate cosmology
of the universe and how the universe was created. And so my beloved,
there are some modern people, especially in the West, who look at Buddhism
as a religion without God or even a religion that denies God, but this,
of course, is not the case. Buddhism, however, was a very pragmatic
approach to spirituality which said that in the current state of consciousness
of the people – where they had become more or less blinded
by duality – it was not possible for them to reach beyond the
dualistic mind and attain some divine revelation of the ultimate cosmology.
And thus, it was meaningless to discuss cosmology through the filter
of the dualistic mind.
Far better, my beloved, to do what Christ later said: to look at the
beam in your own eye, rather than focusing on the mote in the eye of
your brother, claiming that his religion was of the devil or was a threat
to the stability of society. So my beloved, I attempted to create a
new spiritual movement that would cause people to take their attention
away from this ultimate question of how the universe came into being,
thus causing them to focus on their own minds. Seeking to attain some
mastery over their own minds, instead of fighting with those who had
a different view of the cosmos.
And this, of course, my beloved, was a very practical, pragmatic view
that did have a certain positive effect of creating a more stable force
in society. And by the fact that so many people embraced Buddhism and
were willing to work on their own minds, well the growth in their consciousness
created a stabilizing spiritual force that actually prevented a great
war, an armed conflict in society. And thus provided a stabilizing force
where the Buddhists who dedicated themselves to the mastery of their
own minds became able to hold, so to speak, a great spiritual balance
for their society.
And my beloved, I give you this image because you who are the spiritual
people – and many other spiritual people on the Earth today who
might never hear this message and do not necessarily have to –
well you who are the spiritual people, you have the potential today
to become a spiritual force that can hold the spiritual counterbalance
to the forces of duality. That you know are rampant in the world today
and are seeking to take the world into a downward spiral of armed conflict,
driven by religious strife that will actually destroy the potential
for the manifestation of Saint Germain’s Golden Age.
And thus, my beloved, the only thing that can stop this downward spiral
of religious violence is precisely that there are those spiritual people
on the Earth who say “I will not war against my brother. I will
look deeply into my own being and see that there will not be peace in
the world by destroying those who are different from myself. There will
be peace in the world only when I free myself from the dualistic forces
that are the real cause of strife.”
Resist not evil—transcend it
For you see, my beloved, it is not true – as some scientists say
today – that religion is the cause of war on this planet.
No, my beloved, the real cause of war on this planet is the duality
consciousness that leads to intolerance of diversity.
And thus, religion simply becomes the outer excuse for taking that intolerance
of the duality consciousness out in the form of armed conflict—and
the attempt to violently destroy another group of people that have been
labeled as the enemies but are truly the scapegoats, the excuse for
not looking at the beam in your own eye.
And so my beloved, the image I desire you to hold is not simply an image
but the actual reality that it is truly possible that a relatively small
number of people can hold the spiritual balance for an entire planet
and prevent that planet from going into a downward spiral, instead allowing
the River of Life to raise it into a positive spiral and manifest a
Golden Age society—where there is abundance both spiritually and
materially because there is diversity. New inventions and creativity
that constantly brings new solutions to problems that seem to have no
solution, when they were looked at through the filter of the old consciousness.
That is now replaced by a new freedom, a new willingness to think beyond
the old systems, beyond the old mental boxes, and thus a willingness
to look at problems in a new light, whereby the solution becomes obvious.
And so my beloved, hold that vision—that it truly is a reality
that if you are willing to look at anything in your own psychology,
as was discussed earlier today, anything that takes you away from peace,
if you are willing to look at it, to deal with it until you understand
– until you see it for the unreality that it is, until you see
that it actually harms yourself – and then you can spontaneously
manifest the willingness to let it go, to surrender it, to not continue
to reinforce that pattern, because you do not actually resist the pattern,
my beloved. You see it for the unreality that it is. And when you see
it as unreal, my beloved, you see that it is completely unnecessary,
completely fruitless to resist it.
For my beloved, when something is unreal, there is no point in resisting
it. For in resisting it, you direct your energies at it, whereby you
reinforce the impression, the illusion, of reality. You reinforce the
illusion that what is unreal seems to be real and have some kind of
substance that gives it an existence and a continued existence.
Understanding the false hierarchy
Thus, my beloved, we have sometimes talked about the fact that there
is a certain percentage of lifestreams who have been allowed to embody
on this planet, and that they form – together with lifestreams
in the mental and emotional realms – a hierarchy which we have
called the
false hierarchy. Now my beloved, this is the force that I earlier
said has destroyed many previous Golden Age civilizations.
And so you who are spiritual people have gone through a phase, many
of you, where you saw the necessity to make calls or decrees or call
forth the judgment of the false hierarchy. And this was a necessary
step, not only in the planetary unfoldment but also in your own personal
growth. But many of you, my beloved, have reached a point where you
are, as again was discussed earlier, ready to truly free yourself from
the last very subtle remnants of the duality consciousness. And thus,
I, as the Lord of the World – who truly holds the spiritual balance
for all lifestreams who embody on Earth – I have determined to
give you a teaching that is beyond what we have released earlier.
Thus my beloved, let me take you through a little bit of a thought experiment,
an exercise of your imagination. You might, my beloved, start out with
the image that was given in the books and movies that were popular in
the recent time about the little hobbit Frodo who received the ring
and had to bring it back to its creation point [Lord of the Rings].
And in so doing had to fight against this dark force that seemed to
be permeating the universe and seemed to be emanating from a central
point, where supposedly there was an evil emperor or sorcerer who was
directing not only the force, but who was directing millions upon millions
of orcs or other beings who were doing his bidding and were under his
control.
Yet my beloved, I desire to give you a twist on this story. Now imagine,
my beloved, that you look at the world and see that there are certain
people who are seemingly committed to destroying peace and prosperity
in the world. And you see deeper and realize that they are committed
to this because they are in a certain state of consciousness. And you
see, my beloved, that they are in this state of consciousness primarily
because they are afraid. They are afraid that if they do not pursue
a certain course of action, well, some calamity will befall them, such
as burning forever in the hell that is the worst thing they can imagine.
So out of that fear of going to hell, they are afraid of going against
those who command them to kill others in the name of God. And thus,
you see that on Earth there is a certain hierarchy, as you have seen
for example in past ages, where the leaders of a particular religion
– even the supreme leader, such as the pope of the Christian religion
– would command those below him to make war with the members of
another religion. Thus killing other human beings in the name of their
god, which they at the same time claim was a god of love who had given
the commandment, “Thou shall not kill.” And who had sent
his only begotten son into the Earth, who gave the commandment to turn
the other cheek and to love your neighbor as yourself.
Yet somehow, the logic was that if you killed in the name of this god,
you would avoid a fiery hell that would otherwise come upon the Earth—if
those of the other religion were allowed to spread their religion unhindered.
And so my beloved, you have an earthly hierarchy but when you are a
spiritual person and see deeper, you see that there is a non-material
hierarchy that is actually pulling the strings, so to speak, of the
marionettes that dance around on the Earth. But even those who seem
to have great power, such as popes and emperors, are truly robots who
are doing the bidding of some greater force behind them.
Facing your fear of the false hierarchy
And so you might, as some of you have done, open your awareness to the
fact that there is a force beyond the material. And in the beginning,
you might feel some fear about this force. And you might think, my beloved,
that as there is a hierarchy of darkness on Earth, well there is an
even greater and more powerful hierarchy in the higher realms –
in the nonmaterial world – so that that false hierarchy has unlimited
power, or almost unlimited power, over those who have been pulled into
their sphere of influence.
And this, of course, has given many people on Earth – from various
religions including ascended master students – a great fear of
being influenced by this false hierarchy, my beloved. So that in that
fear of being influenced by the false hierarchy, you become so concerned
about keeping your consciousness pure that you actually – without
realizing it – shut off the flow of the River of Life through
your own being, shut off your own creativity by thinking that you need
to be so afraid of experimenting with your own creative ability for
fear of opening yourself to the false hierarchy.
So my beloved, many spiritual people who have gone beyond the “ignorance
is bliss” of “seeing no evil, hearing no evil” have
come to believe that there are these dark forces. And indeed, there
are dark forces—I am not in any way denying that. But the image
I want to give you here is that there truly is a false or dark hierarchy,
a dark force that is organized into a hierarchy, my beloved. And so
you can look on Earth and you can see that there are individual people
who are driven by this evil force, who are blinded by it and some of
them, for example, become serial killers.
But there is also a more organized form, where at certain points an
entire society can come under the spell of the false hierarchy, so that
they now unite their forces in seeking to kill the members of another
society. And of course, if you want an obvious example of this, you
can see the Nazi force in Germany as one modern example. But if you
dare to look a little more closely, you can see that many societies
have elements of this. Even modern-day America has certain people who
are in high positions of power, who have come under the spell of this
false hierarchy and thus become instruments for precipitating war and
conflict on a planetary scale.
And yet, my beloved, when you look beyond these people on Earth –
who have been blinded or taken over by the false hierarchy – you
see that beyond them is a non-material hierarchy. And you might think
of it in terms of evil spirits, demons,
discarnates, entities, whatever you want to call them. But the main
image here is that there are beings who are completely blinded by the
consciousness of duality and thus are completely focused on and committed
to expressing some form of darkness—even though they often believe
it is for some greater good.
And so my beloved, if you conceive of this false or dark hierarchy as
a pyramid, where the physical manifestations you see are the lowest
level of the pyramid and beyond it is another level, and beyond that
is another level—and all of it leads up toward the top of the
pyramid. And you know, my beloved, of course that the pyramid ends in
one single point. And thus, you have the popular image that at the top
of the pyramid of the dark hierarchy is the devil or Satan or Lucifer
or whatever that being has been called in various cultures and religions.
A journey into the illusions of darkness
Yet my beloved, now imagine that we put on the full armor of Archangel
Michael, so that we are invulnerable to the dark forces, and we set
out on a journey like Frodo who traveled to the depths of Mordor, the
depths of darkness. We are traveling now through the different layers
of the false hierarchy, the forces of darkness. We are traveling higher
and higher towards the apex, the very top point of the pyramid.
And as we come closer and closer, we encounter various manifestations
of darkness, as Frodo encountered on his journey towards Mordor. And
we expect, of course, that as we come to the very top, we will find
the ultimate temple of darkness, the ultimate building that houses the
dark lord himself, who is at the very top of this dark hierarchy. And
indeed, my beloved, as we penetrate through the deeper levels of darkness,
we do see such a temple, a structure constructed with all kinds of evil
or ugly manifestations of figures, of dragons, of gargoyles of whatever
you can imagine on Earth.
And yet my beloved, as we get to this very temple itself, we see something
peculiar. We see that surrounding the temple are beings who worship
the temple, but those beings are so afraid to enter the temple that
they never, ever enter the temple. They always reside outside. But we
see that these beings form, so to speak, the top level of the dark hierarchy
that we can see from our position outside the dark temple. And we see
that they are so hypnotized, so focused on promoting or perpetuating
a particular idea that they believe has been given to them by the dark
lord himself. But we realize that none of these beings have ever seen
the dark lord, have never actually received that philosophy or matrix
from the dark lord.
They believe it was given in the distant past, my beloved, to their
forefathers, and they are simply continuing to carry out the instructions
that they were given in the past. And they pass those instructions on
to the next level of the pyramid, to those below them. And so those
below them blindly carry out the instructions of their overlords, which
they believe came directly from the dark lord himself, and so on down
through the levels of the pyramid. And now my beloved, we look at these
that are – so to speak – the most advanced dark beings we
have encountered on our journey, and we see that although they have
great power over those below them, we see that they are actually driven
by fear themselves—rather than being the powerful beings that
their followers see them to be.
We see through them and see that they are hollow shells because they
are driven by fear. And in their fear, they are actually mechanically
carrying out what they believe to be the instructions of their dark
lord. And although they believe that the dark lord is the counterpoint
to God – and thus as powerful as God – they really have
no proof of this, for they have never seen the dark lord himself, my
beloved. So when we realize this fear – and again, of course,
being protected by the full armor of Archangel Michael – we say,
“Well, perhaps we should do what they are afraid to do. Perhaps
we should walk into that temple and take a look at this dark lord, who
is supposedly as powerful as God himself.”
And now my beloved, we gather our courage, and we walk through the temple
gates and we encounter a great hall, and at the end of that hall is
a great throne. But to our surprise we discover that there is no one
sitting on the throne, save a little mouse, my beloved, who has snuck
into the dark temple looking for food, but has found none and thus quickly
runs away as it hears us coming. And thus, we stand there in front of
that dark throne—and suddenly it dawns upon us, my beloved, that
there is no dark lord!
Stop giving power to what is not real
There never was a dark lord! There never was an evil being who was the
counterpoint of God and who was thus as powerful as God. You see, my
beloved, what we realize in an instant is that all of the different
levels of the hierarchy of darkness are worshipping a complete illusion,
my beloved. They are worshipping something that is not there, something
that has no reality, my beloved. And thus, we see something very profound.
The beings at the lower levels of the pyramid are afraid to disobey
those above them because they believe those above them have power over
them. And to some degree this is true, for when you are at the lower
levels, well those above you have certain powers of black magic that
they can use against you.
But we also see that the entire hierarchy leads towards the very highest
level of the beings who are outside the temple, and we see that those
beings are worshipping the dark lord that they think resides in the
temple. But they do so because they believe that the dark lord is there
and that he has real, actual powers over them, and thus will destroy
them if they do not do his bidding. But we see that those beings –
even though they have power over all of the beings below them in hierarchy
– they are actually the most to be pitied—because they think
that the dark lord above them has power over them. But since the dark
lord is not there and the temple is empty, there is no power over them
and thus there is no one who can destroy them if they do not do the
bidding of the dark lord that is nonexistent.
And thus we suddenly see, my beloved, that this false hierarchy –
which might appear to have power on Earth, or in the mental or emotional
realms – actually has no real power. It is all an illusion, and
that which is unreal cannot have power over that which is real—unless
that which is real has fallen into the illusion of believing that the
darkness is real, thereby – by affirming the reality of the darkness
– giving the darkness power.
So do you see, my beloved, that we suddenly realize that those on the
lower levels of the hierarchy of darkness are using their
own energies to feed the illusion. And in so doing, they
are sending their energies into a false matrix, and thereby they give
their own energies to create a force which those at the next highest
level of the pyramid can then use to control them.
In other words, those who are being controlled are themselves giving
their own energies to those who control them. And thus, if those who
are being controlled would stop feeding the energy to their overloads,
well then they would take away the power that the overlords have over
them. And when you see that this is repeated at each level of the pyramid,
you see that it is not actually true – as you see portrayed in
many myths around the world – that those who are immediately
below the dark lord are receiving power from the dark lord himself.
For you see that there is no dark lord, so how could those who are at
the top level of the pyramid receive power when there is nothing above
them but emptiness? And so you see now that the entire superstructure
of the false hierarchy are not fed by the dark lord. They are fed by
those below them, going all the way back to the human beings in embodiment
who are not completely empty of light but still have some reality, some
light in them. But who have been tricked into misqualifying this light
through illusions and thereby feeding the entire superstructure of dark
beings and the false hierarchy.
And so we suddenly realize that evil is not real and its appearance
has no actual power over human beings—except what human beings
give to darkness by misqualifying their own light with the illusions
created by darkness. The illusions that people believe are real.
Overcoming the illusion that darkness has power
Now my beloved, you who are the spiritual people, many of you are right
at that point where you are ready to fully integrate this truth that
I have given you. Where you are ready to take that step, which finally
and fully brings you out of the reach of the forces of duality. Which
brings you to the point, my beloved, where the prince of this world
will come but have nothing in you, whereby he can force you to go in
to a negative reaction that feeds your light to the darkness.
You are right at the point where one more step will set you free, so
that you can sit as the Buddha under the tree and be confronted with
the demons of Mara, the forces of this world. But no matter how they
attempt to attack or tempt you, there is no attachment in you, whereby
they can cause you to give power to their illusions. For you see through
the illusions, and thus you are unmoved through your own perpetual surrender
of all that is unreal.
And do you see, my beloved, that many of you are at the point ,where
a slight turn of the dial of consciousness will suddenly open up your
vision to see the complete unreality of all that is dark and evil? This
my beloved, would not instantly remove that darkness from the Earth,
for the law of free will allows that there are still many people who
believe in the illusions of darkness. But there are two important aspects
of you overcoming that illusion.
First of all that you, of course, are free of the pull of duality, free
of the fear of the false hierarchy. You are anchored in the infinite
peace of the Buddha, the infinite peace of Christ, the infinite peace
of the Divine Mother, the infinite peace of the Divine Father, the infinite
peace of the Holy Spirit. And by being anchored in that peace, well
then you can step up to an entirely new level of holding the balance
for the Earth, so that you can serve as a counterbalance to the people
who are still blinded by duality and still think they have to do the
bidding of the evil lord and those above them in the dark hierarchy.
Which they often do not see as a dark hierarchy but see as the hierarchy
of their own religion or the hierarchy of their political party. Or
whatever illusion you have on Earth that is designed to trick people
into giving their obedience and energies to the dark forces while thinking
they are working for God or some ultimate cause.
And this, truly, is how you hold the counterbalance, my beloved, against
the forces of darkness—when you realize that there is no dark
lord. There is no reality to the forces of darkness, but you also realize
that too many of your brothers and sisters are still blinded by that
illusion that darkness is real and that is has actual power over them.
And so you recognize that there are many people who are not yet ready
to let go of that illusion.
And why are they not ready my beloved? Because they are not ready to
take a look at darkness. They are not ready to acknowledge that if they
are engaged in the dualistic struggle – even though they believe
they are fighting for a good cause – they are actually working
for the hierarchy of darkness. They are afraid to acknowledge that—because
they would feel such remorse and self-condemnation that it would take
them lifetimes to heal from that wound. And even those who are willing
to acknowledge that fighting can never come from the hierarchy of light,
they still are afraid to take a close look at the hierarchy of darkness,
following it all the way to the top and then finally seeing that there
is nothing at the top and therefore it can have no power.
And so you see that it is necessary that there is a certain percentage
of people who will hold the balance that gives the rest of humanity
more time to build up the maturity and the courage, where they are then
able to look at the darkness, to see it for what it is and thus use
their free will to abandon it. And you see that it is necessary that
those will hold the balance so that the people who are blinded by the
darkness will not plunge this Earth into a negative spiral of violence
that will prevent the manifestation of the Golden Age.
Hold the vision of an awakening from the illusion of darkness
So what you need to hold the vision for, my beloved is that humankind
will be pulled out of violence and will be raised gradually into the
Golden Age consciousness. And the vision you need to hold, my beloved,
is that this happens by more and more people being awakened to the value
of tolerance the value of diversity, the value of creativity—and
that it is through creativity that humankind will solve its problems,
not through control. That it is through finding creative solutions rather
than repeating the mechanization consciousness of thinking that it is
by enforcing one particular solution, one particular belief system,
that supposedly has the solution to all problems but in realty does
not have the solution to any problems but will only reinforce the dualistic
struggle.
And so my beloved, I desire you to hold the vision that this awakening
will spread like rings in the water. And that when you fully awaken
to the reality of light and darkness – seeing the unreality and
darkness, and seeing the reality of God and the reality of the statement
of Christ that with God all things are possible – and therefore,
truly, the golden age can manifest and emerge as the phoenix bird that
rises from the fires of the conflicts you see in the present world.
I desire you to hold the vision for that awakening of humankind, my
beloved, to the value of creativity, the value of their own built-in
creativity—that they can all play a part in bringing forth creative
solutions or supporting creative solutions to the problems that for
thousands of years have caused conflict. Including, my beloved, creative
solutions in the field of religion and spirituality, so that religion
will no longer be the trigger for violent conflict that will set the
world ablaze. And thereby create a spiral that people cannot free themselves
from, where they mindlessly and mechanically kill those who belong to
a different religion, becoming like robots that are completely taken
over by the dark forces who want to kill and destroy.
A thought-form for 2008
So my beloved, to assist you in holding this vision, I will give you
the thought-form for the new year of 2008. My beloved, there are those
on this Earth who believe they have contact with the real Buddha and
which have received the real thought-form already. But I tell you, my
beloved, the Buddha is not complicated. The Buddha mind is not complicated.
It is, in fact, a false hierarchy who attempts to complicate everything,
for the more complicated they can make it, the more difficult it becomes
for the people to see through the illusion. So they have built layers
of complexity upon complexity as a way to divert people’s attention,
so that they do not see the very simple reality that darkness is not
real.
And so, I come to give you a very simple thought-form, my beloved. It
is a thought-form of a very dense snowfall, where the snowflakes are
descending upon all areas of the Earth. The snowflakes are golden in
appearance when seen from a distance, but when you look closer, my beloved,
you see that each snowflake is unique as you know that physical snowflakes
are unique.
But these particular snowflakes are not like physical snowflakes. They
actually – each snowflake – forms a mirror, and each snowflake
will descend in front of one person on Earth. And there are enough snowflakes
that each person will have his or her personal snowflake that forms
a mirror that reflects back to that person what it is that makes that
person trapped in limitation, trapped in darkness. And thus gives each
person on Earth an opportunity – throughout this year of 2008
– to see themselves in a new light. ***
And my beloved, this does not mean that each person will be awakened
to Christhood or Buddhahood by the end of 2008. But it does mean that
throughout this coming year, each person will have a far greater opportunity
than they have experienced previously – in this life and for many
lifetimes – to see what it is in their own psychology that limits
them, that prevents them from being who they are, that prevents them
from moving forward, taking a decisive step forward on the spiritual
path.
Truly, many people, my beloved, are not at the point where they within
one year can step up to Christhood or even step up to the point of recognizing
the path to Christhood, the universal path behind all religions. But
each person has the potential to take some step forward, and if all
people on Earth make use of that opportunity, well naturally the entire
planet will be lifted tremendously.
But of course, given free will, not every person on Earth will make
use of the opportunity. But that is of no concern for you. What you
hold the vision for is that – throughout this coming year –
the mirror that each person has in front of them will keep reflecting
back to that person precisely what that person needs to overcome in
order to take the next step towards freedom. And so that – throughout
the entire year – the person will repeatedly be confronted with
what they need to overcome, thus receiving many opportunities to finally
acknowledge it, to take a look at it and say, “I can no longer
continue to mindlessly repeat these old patterns. I need to reach for
something new, something More.”
And that, my beloved, is the vision I give you. And if you will hold
steadfast to that vision throughout this coming year – of course,
also working on yourself, working on coming to that point of total surrender
of the illusion of darkness, the illusion that darkness has any power
over you – well then you can make tremendous personal progress,
but you can also hold the vision and the balance that will allow the
planet and humankind as a whole to make tremendous progress in this
2008. Literally, to take – as they say – a quantum leap,
my beloved, seeing that 2008 is a leap year and thus making use of that
opportunity, my beloved.
I commend your willingness to transcend
Thus, I commend you, my beloved, for being willing to come to this conference—and
even before, making use of these teachings that are a higher level,
a higher opportunity to reach for Christhood, to reach for Buddhahood.
Oh my beloved, I can assure you that even though the Buddha is completely
non-attached to the manifestations on Earth, this does not mean that
the Buddha has no feelings. I do have positive feelings, my beloved.
I have very strong feelings for the people on this Earth, or I would
not still be in the position of being the Lord of the World, holding
the balance for them. And thus, I naturally have a strong sense of joy,
when I see people who are willing to make and extraordinary effort to
rise above the duality consciousness and move closer to Buddhahood.
And thus, I commend you, and I want to give you the joy of my heart,
a joy that is beyond duality and thus cannot and should not cause you
human pride. But should cause you to go beyond pride and have the sense
of realism that allows you to recognize that you have made progress,
that you have come closer to peace, my beloved, and that you are indeed
the forerunners for the golden age of Saint Germain.
Thus, see yourselves as the open doors through which the light of the
hierarchy of light, the true hierarchy, can shine into this world. See
that you are part of that great flow of the River of Life, the flow
of the IS that is the collective force of the hierarchy of light, seeking
an open door to express itself in this world. But of course being loyal
to free will, and thus being able to express itself only through those
who are willing to rise above duality, to rise above the mechanization
consciousness that shuts off the flow of life and thereby open themselves
up to becoming one with, becoming that flow of life. Giving
up the ego’s dream to control and being willing to let the winds
of the Holy Spirit blow where they listeth, and take you where the Holy
Spirit wants you to go, where you can be of most assistance to the hierarchy
of light.
Many of you have been willing to move physically, but you have especially
been willing to move in consciousness, my beloved. And this is the true
joy of the Buddha’s heart, a joy that I desire to share with you
this night, as we move beyond the old cycle, leaving that cycle behind
as an empty shell, having no regrets, no longings.
For you see, my beloved, what was portrayed in this movie* was a certain
melancholic longing for this golden society of the past. And you see
how many people on Earth look back to the "good old days"
while thinking that the present is below it and the future can only
get worse.
But you, my beloved – who are the students of the hierarchy of
light – will naturally let go of all longing for the Golden Age
of the past, focusing instead on the reality of the Golden Age, not
only of the future, but the Golden Age of the now, the eternal NOW that
is one with the Buddha consciousness. Which does not recognize time
as real but sees even time as an illusion, my beloved, so that there
is no separation in the Buddha mind between the present moment and the
Golden Age.
But the present moment can only be in the eternal NOW, where also the
Golden Age is manifest. So accept, my beloved, the vision given earlier
that each of you is the center of your own personal universe, and use
what was given earlier on the teachings on determination, to determine
right now that in your personal universe, the Golden Age is a manifest
reality!
And then hold that determination throughout this year of 2008 and beyond,
so that you do not let any world events – no matter what they
might appear to be – detract you from that full determination
and acceptance—that in your personal universe Saint Germain's
Golden Age is a manifest reality in the eternal NOW that IS each now
you experience.
Thus my beloved, in that flame of the Buddha’s determination,
my beloved—which is the foundation for the Buddha’s peace.
For the Buddha is infinitely determined to reject the forces of anti-peace,
and that is how the Buddha stays in peace. So in that flame of the Buddha’s
infinite determination, I seal you, and I send you forth as emissaries
of myself.
Thus I say to you, “Go out into all the world and make all people
into disciples of the Buddha by helping them see their own Buddha nature!”
And you do this, my beloved, in only one way. Not by preaching the teachings
of the Buddha but by BEING the Buddha where you are.
Thus be sealed! Be sealed in my gratitude, in my joy, of seeing your
growth, your growth towards the infinite awareness that is the Buddha
nature, the Buddha mind.
* The participants watched a documentary called Cities
of Light: The Rise & Fall of Islamic Spain. It depicts a society
in medieval Spain, named Al-Andalus, in which Muslims, Jews and Christians
lived together in harmony and prosperity because there was mutual respects
and tolerance between the members of various religions.
** The participants watched a slide show of images of the universe set
to classical music.
*** The snowflakes serve
as a focal point for the energies from Alpha and Omega that Saint Germain
was granted as a dispensaiton, and which he describes in the following
dictation.
