Let
your vision be MORE
A message from El Morya. This dictation was delivered
during the Shangra-la conference in Emigrant, Montana, October 21, 2006.
I AM THAT I AM El Morya, and I am forever the MORE. Thus, there is no
greater joy than when my chelas here below are willing to become the
MORE, to rise higher, to go beyond where they have been before. And
thus, my beloved, I too congratulate you in that willingness to go beyond.
My beloved hearts, my address this morning is focused on the old saying,
“Without vision the people perish.” Yet I would give you
a greater understanding. I would give you the MORE of this statement.
For truly, my beloved, the surface interpretation of this statement
would be that if people have no vision of the spiritual side of life,
of the spiritual reality, they are blinded by the material world. And
so their lives are entirely focused on material goals, material desires,
material pleasures and material pursuits. And this, of course, is what
you see with a great number of people on planet Earth. And it has been
this way for a very long time.
And so it is true that at a certain level, without spiritual vision,
the people will perish. Which is indeed also what you have seen in past
civilizations who left off of their spiritual vision, became too focused
on something in the material—and then the entire civilization
would collapse and disappear.
Yet my beloved, there is a higher understanding of what it means to
be without vision. For indeed, there are many people on this Earth who
do have a vision that there is a spiritual side to life, that there
is a God, that God has certain laws—and that following those laws
will create a positive experience and going against them will create
a negative experience. Yet my beloved, even though they have this vision
of the spiritual side of life, the question is, “Is it a living
vision or a dead vision?”
Living vision or dead vision?
For my beloved, nothing that is of God stands still.
Nothing that is of God stands still!
God is self-transcendence! For this is how the Creator creates—by
transcending his former state and becoming MORE. So my beloved, you
may have a spiritual teaching, a religious doctrine, and you may think
it gives you all you need to know about God’s reality. But if
your vision stands still – does not grow, does not become MORE
– then your vision has become a graven image. And my beloved,
no graven image can ever convey the reality of the Living God.
Look upon the world, look upon the religious people, for in them truly
all spiritual people can see that even though they have a vision and
claim that their doctrines can explain all there is to know about life,
you can surely see that their vision is a graven image. Their doctrines
are graven images, and they go to church every Sunday worshipping before
those idols that have no resemblance whatsoever to the Living God. For
how can any image ever depict the Living God? Thus, my beloved, you
see so many Christians who hold on to an image of God that is completely
out of touch with reality. For God is not an angry being in the sky.
He is the Living, Loving God. God has no desire to punish anyone. God
does not even desire to punish the devil, or Satan or Lucifer or whatever
Christians name the adversary.
For my beloved, God only desires to see all life transcend itself. And
this is the one thing I would like you to understand from this discourse.
My beloved, God has no desire to punish anyone. For punishment as it
is seen by human beings, often means that you restrict someone from
growing. And God would never restrict anyone from growing, from transcending
themselves. God only wants all life to be free, to become MORE—as
God is constantly becoming MORE.
So you see, my beloved, the image of an angry and punishing God is indeed
a false image, a graven image that springs from the duality consciousness.
And it is created because human beings in embodiment are projecting
onto God the qualities of their own egos. For you see, my beloved, the
ego feels threatened, feels constantly threatened. And thus, the ego
has a desire to control. And when someone else will not submit to the
ego’s control, then the ego wants to punish that someone else.
And so you see, my beloved, the desire to punish, the desire for revenge,
springs from the sense of being threatened. And the sense of being threatened
can come only from unreality.
For my beloved, how could anything real be threatened by anything? Do
you think that God sits up in Heaven and feels threatened by the devil?
Do you think that God sits up in Heaven and feels threatened by anything
human beings do or could possibly do on Earth? So my beloved, God is
not threatened by anything, and thus God has no need to control. Nor
does he have a need to punish those who will not submit to control.
So you see, my beloved, so many people have a vision that there is a
God. But they have the wrong vision of what God is like. And thus, one
might wonder, would it be better for these people that they had no vision
of the spiritual side of life whatsoever? For in many cases, I must
tell you, that those who have no vision, who are stuck in the material,
are often more open to learning something new than the people who call
themselves the most devout religious people, whether they be in this
religion or that.
Being open to a new understanding
And so, my beloved, as a spiritual teacher – which all of us in
the Ascended Host are – we often find that there is the least
opening among the people who claim to be the most religious or the most
spiritual. And so, now that I have given you an example that I trust
you can see, I would ask you to look in the mirror and look at yourselves
and your own vision.
My beloved, there is not a single person on Earth who has the full and
complete vision of the reality of God. Let me say it again, “There
is not a single person on Earth who has the full and complete vision
of the reality of God!” There never has been such a person,
and there never will be.
For while you are in physical embodiment, it is not physically possible
to have the full vision of God because the human brain, the human nervous
system, is too limited to bring that vision to your conscious awareness.
And my point for stating this obvious truth is to make you realize that
all of you can benefit from expanding your vision, from raising your
vision.
My beloved, there is no one who is an exception to this. Have I made
myself clear here? [Yes] So then, you should be willing to look at yourselves
– not in a condemning, not in a controlling, not in a punishing
way – but you should be willing to look at yourself and say, “Are
there any elements in my being, in my consciousness, that resist an
expansion of my vision?” And if you sense such a resistance, then
you know that the ego is hiding behind it. And it has an intention,
which is to restrict you so that it can keep you under control. And
that is why it does not want you to expand your vision, because when
you do, what will happen? Well, you will find the truth that will make
you free from the ego’s control.
Now, my beloved, I will now speak, not only to you here, but I will
speak into the collective consciousness of not only those who have found
a spiritual teaching that was directly sponsored by the ascended masters,
but I will speak to all those who have gone beyond the
black-and-white stage of being religious and have risen to the stage
of being more open to a spiritual teaching, a higher spiritual understanding.
This includes all those in the New Age community. So again, as
we did in Europe, I speak into the collective consciousness and
this time it is the collective consciousness of the entire planet.
My beloved, the biggest problem that we face as spiritual teachers is
that too many people will find a spiritual teaching that will expand
their understanding of the spiritual side of life. And then, after a
while, they will begin to listen to the subtle voice of the ego and
the false teachers of this world—who tell them that now they know
all they need to know. And thus, they just need to keep doing what they
are doing now, believing what they are believing now, and they will
make it to whatever version of salvation that they have been given in
their teaching.
My beloved, I must tell you that the only realistic hope for the raising
up of planet Earth into the Golden Age is that the top ten percent of
the most spiritual people continue to raise their consciousness, until
they attain either the full Christ consciousness or a high degree of
Christhood. And knowing this full well, the false teachers of this world
are working overtime, trying to get these spiritual people to go into
this blind alley of feeling that now they have reached a sufficient
level of spiritual vision. And they have the vision that is needed.
So, as I have said, this is an illusion! There is no one who can fulfill
their spiritual mission without continuing to raise their vision as
long as they have breath in the material realm. My beloved, I must tell
you that there is a substantial number of people in the New Age movement
and in ascended master organizations, who have grown for a time and
then reached a plateau that is below the fulfillment of their divine
plan and their highest potential. And they have then gotten comfortable
or perhaps even discouraged, and so they have stopped their growth.
No fixed or final vision
And this, my beloved, will not cut it—neither for you personally
nor for the planet as a whole. For you see, my beloved, what does it
mean that the Earth is raised into a Golden Age? Is there a fixed vision
for the Golden Age?
My beloved, you sometimes see organizations who conduct a fundraising
campaign. And they create a big sign and they draw a thermometer, and
at the top they have the sum that they are trying to raise. And then
they show by lines and coloring how high they have come, how close they
have come to the goal. And so, when the goal is reached and they have
collected the sum of money that was their goal, then that particular
mission was fulfilled.
And so, my beloved, what many of you have come to think – because
this is the way the ego and the linear, analytical mind thinks –
is that bringing in the Golden Age is similar to this, that it is some
kind of spiritual fundraising campaign where we have a top goal. And
when enough prayers or decrees or rosaries or enough good vibrations
have been released, then we have reached the top and the Golden Age
is suddenly there.
But you see, my beloved, the Golden Age is not a fixed quantity—it
cannot be quantified. The Golden Age does not mean that society has
reached some kind of perfection, and now it will no longer change or
grow. For you see, my beloved, the essence of a Golden Age is that society
is not in a static state of perfection but is in a continual state of
self-transcendence. This is the Golden Age. And in past ages, when civilizations
had reached the Golden Age, what caused those civilizations to decline
was that they stopped transcending themselves. And so the Golden Age
came to a halt and the society went into a downward spiral.
And thus, my beloved, it is not a matter of you having the vision that
if you do a certain amount of outer things or understand a certain truth,
then you are doing what you need to do to bring about the Golden Age
of Saint Germain. No, my beloved, what you need to do to bring about
the Golden Age of Saint Germain is to enter into and remain in the River
of Life that is continually flowing and transcending itself. For only
then will you give the highest possible contribution to bringing about
the Golden Age of Saint Germain and your own ascension and Christhood.
Stopping just before the goal is reached
You see, my beloved, when you look at the pyramid, the Great Pyramid
at Giza, you will see that the King’s Chamber is two-thirds of
the height of the pyramid from the base. And the two-thirds mark is
the level where the Christ is meant to appear. And so what I am trying
to explain to you here is that a substantial number of former or present
ascended master students and people in the New Age movement have come
very close to that two-thirds mark.
Yet instead of pushing harder and going above it, where the Christ starts
appearing in their being, they have somehow come to believe in a fallacy
of the ego, in an illusion of the ego. And they have stood still, they
have stagnated. And they are standing there and they are spinning their
wheels. And some of them are moving hard and working hard, but they
are getting nowhere for they are not willing to raise their vision to
see what will it take to come over that hump and enter into the light
of Christ. And the reason they have not done this is that there is some
illusion of the ego that they are still attached to, that they are not
willing to question, that they are not willing to look in the mirror
and see, “Oh, I have this problem. I am the one that needs to
overcome it.”
And my beloved, I must tell you quite honestly that a substantial portion
of those who call themselves ascended master students have – instead
of manifesting their Christhood – entered into a state of consciousness
that is in opposition to their Christhood, where they actually believe
that they are the most spiritual people, the most sophisticated people,
on the planet, that they are doing the work of the ascended masters.
Yet I must tell you that they are in the state of consciousness that
is the characteristic, the hallmark, of
the fallen angels.
Now my beloved, I have previously, through these two messengers, made
some very direct statements about fallen angels in previous ascended
master organizations. And I trust you can see – if you think with
the heart – that those statements were meant to be provocative
and push people’s buttons. For surely, you have an organization
where many people have come to see themselves as being these spiritual
people who are fighting against an adversary. And the adversary is the
false teachers and the fallen angels. And so the last thing these people
would want to see about themselves was that they could be fallen angels.
And so, my beloved, sometimes, as was explained yesterday, when people
will not hear an outer teaching, we have no other opportunity to reach
them than to try and push their buttons so that we jolt them out of
the stagnating vision, that stale vision that has become like the water
in a pond that stands still until it becomes rotten and starts to stink.
And not even the animals will drink of it anymore, yet sadly many people
continue to drink of such a stale pond. And they explain away the stench
as somehow coming from the world or by some other convoluted excuse.
A higher understanding of fallen angels
So let me now give you a higher understanding of the concept of fallen
angels. For you see, my beloved, as this messenger has known for some
time, God did not create fallen angels. This should be easy to see,
for how could a perfect God create anything imperfect? Yet going all
the way back to the Christian religion and beyond, there are many people
who believe that the devil was created to fall, to sin, to be in opposition
to God. There are even those in the New Age movement who believe that
evil is a necessary polarity to God, and without it the universe would
not be complete. There are even those who believe in the illusion that
it was only by falling, by rebelling against God, that people gained
their freedom and that they were meant to do so.
Well, my beloved, the reality is that God never created anyone imperfect,
evil or dark. Nor did God create anyone to fall or to sin. It is not
God’s intention that anyone needs to fall or rebel against God’s
will. But because of free will, people – self-conscious beings
– have the opportunity to rebel. This is an inevitable consequence
of free will. So the reality is that God and the spiritual beings in
higher realms never created any imperfect beings. They created self-conscious
beings that were created in the immaculate concept and were given free
will, so that they have the opportunity to co-create their identity
according to their own choices.
Now my beloved, how is it then possible that such a being can fall?
Well, it is possible because as a consequence of free will, there must
be the possibility to go against the will of God. And what enables you
to stay one with the will of God, with the law of God, is the Christ
consciousness where you see yourself as one with your own Higher Being,
going all the way up to the Creator. And in that oneness, you would
never even dream of going beyond God’s law. Instead, you express
your creativity and your free will within the framework of God’s
Law, whereby you raise up all life.
Yet in order for free will to be complete, in order for there to be
the opportunity to go against God’s Law, the Christ consciousness
must have an opposite, which is the consciousness of anti-Christ. Now
my beloved, please do not fall into the illusion of thinking that the
consciousness of anti-christ is somehow necessary in order for the Christ
to be complete. The Christ consciousness, my beloved, is completely
self-sufficient and does not need an opposite polarity. The Christ mind
does not need an enemy to fight because the Christ mind is above and
beyond duality.
So you see, my beloved, God needs no opposite. And therefore, evil is
not the opposite polarity of God. Likewise, Christ needs no opposite.
And therefore the mind of anti-christ is not an opposite polarity of
the mind of Christ. It is simply outside of the mind of Christ. It is
outside of the oneness of the mind of Christ, removed from the oneness
of the mind of Christ. And although this removal, this separation, is
only an illusion, those who step into the sphere of the consciousness
of anti-christ will think the separation is real, possibly even created
by God.
So what makes it possible for an angel in Heaven to become a fallen
angel? Well, it is that the angel refuses to step up to the point, as
was discussed yesterday, of becoming self-sufficient. And that, of course,
is the point of Christhood, the point of Christhood where you know the
kingdom of God is within you. And therefore, you are a complete and
whole and self-sufficient being who can be the sun that radiates light
from within itself, because it is your God Flame, out of which you came,
that radiates through you.
And this is the real definition of Christhood—that you are a spiritual
sun, s-u-n. And thereby you become what has been known as the son, s-o-n,
of God. Because now you know you are the offspring of God and you identify
yourself as such. Yet those lifestreams in higher realms, who refused
to step up to that level of Christhood, had no other way to go than
to separate themselves from Christhood. And when the sphere in which
they lived was raised in vibration, then they had to step away from
Christhood and they had to step into the realm of duality, the realm
of anti-Christ.
And you see, my beloved, in the realm of duality, there is any number
of states of consciousness that have been created. All of these states
of consciousness were unreal. Originally, of course, they did not exist.
But as beings have fallen and entered into that state of consciousness,
then they have created a certain state of consciousness, a certain world
view, a certain momentum that has then gradually transcended any one
individual and has taken on a life of its own as a mass entity, as a
conglomerate of consciousness.
And so, my beloved, what makes it possible for an angel to fall is that
it steps outside of the Christ consciousness and steps into that consciousness,
a certain consciousness, that exists in the realm of duality. And it
starts looking at the world from inside that consciousness. It starts
identifying itself with that consciousness. For as we have explained,
the core of a self-conscious being with free will is the Conscious
You, the conscious self which is the seat of free will and the seat
of identity. And thus, it has the ability to either identify itself
as the offspring of God or identify itself as a being who is rebelling
against God.
So you see, my beloved, the conscious self is not a fallen angel—it
simply is not possible. It is an individualization of God. Yet if the
conscious self steps into that mold, that role, that state of consciousness,
then it identifies itself as a fallen angel or as a being with a certain
state of consciousness – whether it has the concept of a
fallen angel or not – it identifies itself with that state of
consciousness. And it expresses that in the material realm or wherever
it appears. So it thinks that it could not be more than that consciousness.
And therefore, it becomes stuck in that consciousness.
Judgment is the hallmark of the fallen consciousness
My beloved, my point for this long discourse is to bring you to the
realization that when people are stuck in one of these dualistic states
of consciousness, it is inevitable that they begin to become very critical
and judgmental toward those who are not stuck in their states of consciousness.
And that is why my point here is that if you look at people, perhaps
even dare to look at yourself, and say, “Do I feel a need to criticize
others? Do I feel a need to judge others? Do I feel a need to evaluate
others? Can I identify that in the back of my mind there is always a
voice, there is always a process, of criticizing, of judging, of evaluating
everything, of comparing to some standard that I am not even consciously
aware of? Can I recognize in myself that there is a tendency, sometimes,
to blame—to blame myself, to blame others, to criticize, to condemn,
to judge, to look for imperfections, instead of looking at the immaculate
concept.”
My beloved, my point here is to show you that too many of those who
formerly were ascended master students, or who still call themselves
ascended master students, have not been willing to step up to the level
of Christhood. They have instead become stuck in one of the states of
consciousness that were originally created and reinforced by the fallen
angels. And therefore, they have become judgmental and critical of anything
that is different from that state of consciousness and its characteristics.
They are constantly judging and evaluating anything that comes to them.
Because it is as if, as it was discussed yesterday, they have a mental
box, and any idea that comes to them must somehow fit into that box
and be put into a little drawer with a label on it, so they feel that
they have the idea under control and so that their egos will not feel
threatened by the idea. And so that the people themselves, the conscious
selves, will not feel an urge to go beyond the mental box, to think
outside the box.
You see, my beloved, what I want you to see from this discourse is that
even if you have a very sophisticated vision of the spiritual side of
life and have a sophisticated outer understanding of the teachings of
the ascended masters, it is still possible that you can be stuck in
a state of consciousness that is not the ascended master consciousness
but is the consciousness of the fallen angels. And so, my beloved, whether
you actually fell from above, or whether you descended on a rescue mission,
or whether you evolved from the Earth, it does not really matter.
What matters is that as long as you are in a state of consciousness
that has the characteristics of the fallen consciousness – the
judgmentalness, the judging after appearances as Jesus said –
as long as you are in that state of consciousness, you are not expressing
your Christhood. And therefore, you are truly not an ascended master
student. You are not truly a chela of El Morya because you are refusing
to become MORE.
And instead of you becoming MORE, and constantly transcending yourself,
you have accepted an upper limit. And now you are spending your attention
on judging others whom you think do not live up to your standard, the
standard that you have used to box yourself in—and your ego is
now using to try to control everybody else and box them in, so that
they will not disturb your vision by demonstrating that there is something
beyond the box.
And so, my beloved, when two people, such as these two messengers, dare
to stand up and say, “We are messengers of the Ascended Host,”
what is the gut reaction from people who are stuck in this state of
consciousness? Well, it is that they judge them. And they look for any
little detail that they can find, so that they can reject them.
And my beloved, again, as we have said, it is not our point that all
of our previous students from other organizations should come into this
new movement. But we would like to see all of our students move on towards
their Christhood, instead of using our outer teachings to create a box
that prevents them from reaching that Christhood. And instead, they
become stuck in the consciousness of the fallen angels, so that even
though they deny that they could be fallen angels, they are in reality
acting like fallen angels, while justifying these actions and this judgmentalness
with the teachings of the ascended masters. My beloved, this is such
a travesty that I can barely express my discontent for it.
Enough is enough!
I have come to say in this place, and I say into the collective consciousness
of the planet, “Enough is enough!
I, El Morya, have had enough!”
And it is time that my students around the world, those who claim to
have any affiliation with El Morya, step beyond this nonsense, this
illusion, and realize that I am not an angry and judgmental master.
I am a firm master. I am a strong master. I am a direct master. But
I am not angry, judgmental or revengeful. I do not judge anyone. I do
not judge the people who judge others. And the people that I am talking
about, I do not judge you at all. I have nothing but love for you.
But my love is the strong love of the Father who says, “It is
time to grow up!” It is time to stand on your own two feet and
come into your Christhood. For I, Morya, have need of you. I have need
of you to rise to that Christhood and bear witness to the reality of
self-transcendence, the reality of the spiritual path that you can go
beyond the consciousness of the fallen ones. And you can stop judging
and you can Be in the River of Life and flow with that River of Life
and Be One in your Christhood, Be One in the Body of God on Earth. So
that the outer organizations and the outer labels no longer matter because
you know that beyond these outer conditions you are one in that body
of God.
Ah, my beloved, the consciousness of judgmentalness is what causes spiritual
people all over the planet to create their own little sphere, their
own little box, and say, “We have the right teaching. We have
the highest teaching. We have the highest guru. And therefore we are
better than others. And we are saved and these other people must come
into our box in order to be saved.”
And so, you have a situation in the New Age, spiritual communities today,
where the forces of this world do not have to come in and use their
divide-and-conquer tactic, for the people have already divided themselves.
And so all that is left is for the false teachers to conquer.
My beloved, it is time you realize that there is a universal spiritual
path behind all outer teachings, gurus and organizations. And this is
the path that we need humankind to discover in this age. And the essence
of that path is self-transcendence. And this is what we need you to
demonstrate to the world—that it is possible to transcend, to
transcend the consciousness of judgmentalness that causes people and
civilizations to stagnate until they start falling apart from within.
My beloved, heed my words! Raise your vision! Look beyond your current
box. And first of all, stop thinking that I El Morya can fit in any
of the boxes created by any previous organizations sponsored by the
Ascended Host. I do not fit into any box, for I am forever the MORE.
Dare to become the MORE and discover, or rediscover, the real, living
I AM THAT I AM El Morya.
