In the previous Chapters it was clearly shown that each aspect of our
daily life plays an equal importance. No one aspect can be considered
more important or more needed or more vital than any other.
However, it was also shown that there is a certain crucial hierarchy of
spiritual organization in the Most High’s Creation which is also reflected
in the way our life is structured. Everything has its originating point in
which everything occurs first. After it occurs, it proceeds toward its
manifestation. When it is manifested, it then becomes. This is the
spiritual law of Creation. But the equal importance of all three steps —
occurrence, proceeding, and becoming is very obvious. Occurrence
without its proceeding can never become. Then, it is as if it never
occurred. On the other hand, if there is no occurrence, there is nothing to
proceed and no becoming results. Occurrence cannot become unless it
proceeds.
In view of this fundamental spiritual rule, on which the entire
Creation of the Most High is built, we can say that the proper, spiritual
hierarchy of our life is as follows:
The spiritual aspect of our life is the center where the Most High
resides. This is the occurrence. This is the origin of everything else or all
other aspects of our life. From it all else proceeds.
In order for this aspect to be properly manifested it needs to proceed.
The mental aspect of our life is the proceeding of a spiritual aspect of our
life. All ideas, states and conditions of the spiritual life, in the process of
their proceeding, are transformed into a specific and unique soul which
produces the mentality of that spirit. Thus, we can say that the
mentality of our spirit is our soul. The unique ideas of our spirit become
the unique mentality of our soul. Mentality, in all its aspects, enables us
to be self-aware, self-perceptive, self-realized, and self-actualized. It
constitutes the awareness of a very unique, different and special “I am.”
Once this is accomplished, the form of manifestation of that spirit and
soul is sought out and built. In that form, which may be called the body
of the spirit and soul, our spirit and soul truly become. Thus, we can say
that physical and bodily life or all life of the externals, is the becoming of
our spirit and our mentality.
In order to properly actualize, realize and manifest our unique
individuality and its special “I am,” as it is contained in our spirit, soul
and body, we are endowed with various different aspects of our life which
helps us to accomplish this goal. Thus, we have sexual life which helps us
acquire experiences of an all-encompassing nature. We have our
professional and work life which helps us to manifest our unique creative
efforts. We have our family life which helps us to bring out the fullness of
our nature. We have our social life which assures that we have many
proper opportunities for inspiration and actualization of ourselves. We
have leisure life and sleep life which help us to maintain our life energy
in a required and functional condition in order to be able to engage in all
our other life activities.
However, no matter which way we turn, or what kind of activities we
are engaged in at any given moment, we can clearly detect two important
principles:
1. They all originate from the ideas of our spirit and, particularly,
from the presence of our Creator in our spirit. Thus, we all are of a
spiritual origin without any exception or exclusion whatsoever.
2. They all serve one ultimate purpose — to be truly ourselves in
order to share fullness and completeness of our unique nature, or the
unique aspect of the Most High which we carry in ourselves, with
everyone else in the Most High’s Creation. The manner, the mode and
the way of sharing can take many facets and styles. But they all serve
this ultimate and the most important purpose.
On this principle the entire positive state of the Most High’s Creation
is built and structured.
The hierarchy of the spiritual organization of the Most High’s
Creation is not structured in a linear manner, as far as its occurrence,
proceeding and becoming is concerned. The occurrence or the spiritual
aspects of life; the proceeding or the mental aspects of life; and becoming,
or the physical or external aspects of our life always take place in the
discrete mode. That is to say, they appear simultaneously and in
synchronicity with each other. The discreteness of their simultaneous
manifestation clearly confirms their equal importance for understanding
and fulfillment of our lives. Although the beginning and the end of any
activity is the ultimate spiritual fulfillment, that fulfillment cannot take
place without its mentality or soul, through which and by which the
fulfillment is experienced (if there is no experience of fulfillment, there is
no fulfillment). Neither can it take place without its body, through which
and by which that fulfillment produces its outcomes and consequences.
Without its outcomes and consequences, there is neither the experience
of fulfillment nor fulfillment itself. The fulfillment is fulfilled in a
complete manifestation of all its consequences and outcomes. But, the
purpose is always spiritual. There is no other reality than the spiritual
one. The spiritual reality produces all other realities from itself for the
purpose of its fulfillment.
This is the discrete structure of the spiritual fulfillment.
However, there is a continuous or linear aspect to the spiritual
fulfillment of our life. Our daily activities follow in sequence from one
type to another in a cycle. In the morning we get up from bed and clean
ourselves. Then some of us, after we dress, have some kind of breakfast
or drink. Then we are engaged in some kind of work activities. After that
we have leisure time in the form of relaxation, sport, entertainment and
similar activities. Sometimes we go to church or read or study (spiritual
and mental activities). Sometimes we make love, we socialize, we spend
time with our family, and then, in the evening, we go to sleep. This
happens everyday over and over again. All these types of activities are,
in most instances, sequential in time and very often in space (the work
place, fun place, church place, love-making place, social place, family
place, etc., are usually in a different place). These linear and sequential
activities serve simultaneous, synchronous or discrete activities of our
spirit, our soul and our body. Our spirit, soul and body, simultaneously
and synchronously, produce and are involved in all those activities.
Without them no activities are ever possible. Thus, the discrete mode of
life and its linear or sequential aspects are interdependent,
interconnected and interrelated and one without another cannot be and
exist.
From this description it is plainly obvious that all our life activities,
because they serve that ultimate spiritual purpose, are equally
important.
In the positive state, because of equality in their importance, these
activities are balanced out and integrated in such a manner as to receive
equal attention and to have equal opportunity for their manifestation. No
aspect of anyone’s life is ever neglected or emphasized more than any
other.
This is a logical outcome of such practice. If all activities serve, in
their ultimate end, to one common spiritual cause — to be better people,
more spiritual people, more ourselves and to share all that we are and
that we have with everyone — then all activities deserve to be actualized
and realized equally, in a balanced and integrated manner.
Only in this kind of arrangement is the total and complete fulfillment
of our life possible. Unless there is the proper balancing and integration
of all aspects of living, of which life consists, no true understanding and
fulfillment of our life is possible in any mode, level, degree, step, world,
time or dimension of Creation or the Zone of Displacement.
This is a fundamental spiritual law on which the entire Creation and
its life is founded and built. It derives from the Absolute Nature of the
Most High’s Divine Love and Divine Wisdom. Such is the structure of
that love and wisdom. And because Creation was created from that love
through that wisdom, it reflects within itself that structure and the need
for balancing and integration of all its aspects. In the Most High all
aspects of His/Her Absolute Life are absolutely integrated, balanced and
one. In Creation, which is relative to His/Her Absolute State, this need
for oneness, balancing and integration is reflected in proper balancing of
and equal opportunities for all life activities and aspects to take place. If
anything is neglected, the oneness is broken and integration of life
cannot be effectively experienced. Something important would be
missing. The lack of that something makes it impossible for life to be
properly understood and fulfilled.
Thus, in the positive state, it is always made sure that balanced
representation and actualization of all life activities is available and
takes place. By such an arrangement the life of the positive state is
eternally preserved.
It is important to realize that the structure of the true positive state
and its true life is such a balanced and integrated life. This is the very
nature of the positive state. This is the positive state. Any deviation from
this principle violates the nature of the positive state and the positive
state is no longer positive.
For this reason, as long as a balanced and integrated lifestyle is
preserved and fully manifested, no negative state can ever come to its
fruition.
In order to initiate and activate the negative state it was necessary to
violate the balance and integration of the positive state.
As we remember from the previous chapters, the activators of the
negative state led their frontal attack, so to speak, against the positive
state by means of genetic alteration of people’s physical form and
restructuring their spirituality and mentality. The major thrust of their
effort was in making sure that that balance and integration is violated.
The best way to do this was to emphasize one aspect of life over another
or making one aspect more important or more vital than another.
Since the pseudo-creators knew that the most crucial aspect for the
proper balancing and integration of life was the spiritual aspect, because
it is the originating factor of all other aspects, there was no better way to
activate the negative state than to de-emphasize the importance of the
spiritual aspect and put into dominance the most outward and external
aspect — the material or physical or bodily aspect of life. By this act, the
upside-down lifestyle was established on this Earth and in the entire
Zone of Displacement.
Thus, spiritual life was put in the last place on the list of life’s
priorities (or totally eliminated from that list) and the physical, external,
bodily, material life was put in the first place on that list. This is the
exact opposite to the true reality of life as it is in the positive state. Of
course, the last place in the positive state doesn’t mean the least
important or negligible place. As mentioned above, all aspects of life in
the positive state are equally important, taken care of and properly
balanced and integrated. The last place in the positive state means only
the outcome and consequence of something that precedes it. Thus, it is a
succession of something but succession is as important and as needed as
that something because without succession, that something could never
be manifested.
However, this situation was used by the pseudo-creators to pervert
the true reality by making the last place at the same time the least
important and the least necessary item of life.
For this reason, the pseudo-creators altered and restructured human
mentality and the human body in such a manner as to cut off most of the
access from our true spiritual and true mental source. They placed a
concentrated attention on our physical body and on the external world. If
we are forced to pay most of our time and our awareness on our physical
aspects and our environment (the external world on which our body was
made dependent for its survival), we logically conclude that this is the
most important aspect of our life and all else is either less important or
not important at all. And because all our conscious awareness was totally
cut off from the ability to perceive any other reality than our physical
body and the natural world or our physical environment, we came to the
devastating conclusion that no other reality but the reality of our
physical world exists.
In this manner the balance and integration of our life was violated
and activation of the negative state was made possible.
Thus, we live in the world of the negative state that has everything
upside-down and distorted. The results of this perverted arrangement
are vividly illustrated in the bloody history of humankind and all
inhabitants of all regions of the Zone of Displacement, as well as on our
own daily problems, hassles, miseries, sufferings, troubles, illnesses,
unhappiness, etc.
Now, the pseudo-creators were very careful in making sure that
people on this Earth would not retain any awareness of the true spiritual
reality, including the awareness of the existence of other regions of the
Zone of Displacement itself. By and large, we are not aware that any
Zone of Displacement exists either, not to speak of the heavens or other
dimensions which are full of inhabitants.
If the pseudo-creators were to leave intact our ability to consciously
perceive and communicate with other regions of the Zone of
Displacement, they would fail in their endeavor to maintain the negative
state and all related experiences for too long a period of time. People
would know the true source and origin of the negative state and they
would refuse to go along with it. For this reason, it was necessary to
totally abolish any possibility of conscious perception of any other worlds
either in the true spiritual reality, or the true physical reality, or in the
Zone of Displacement. By this act, the pseudo-creators accomplished
their major goal in convincing many people that there is no other reality
except the reality of their own world, or, if there is any other reality, it is
only an assumption that could not be corroborated by any physical
sensory organs. We cannot see it with our physical eyes, we cannot hear
it with our physical ears, we cannot taste it with our physical mouth,
tongue, we cannot touch it with our physical body and so on. And because
the genetic alteration of our physical sensory organs made it impossible
for them to sense or perceive anything else but our external
environment, it is very easy to conclude scientifically that nothing can
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that any other worlds or realities or
inhabitants exist.
Even people who believe otherwise and are spiritually minded, by
their genetic structuring, are forced into continuous violation of the
balanced and integrated life, that is, the true spiritual life. Most of us
have to pay more attention to and spend more of our daily time on
external, worldly, material, physical and bodily activities because our
survival on this Earth depends on them or was made dependent by the
pseudo-creators. If this is such an important factor, is it not “natural” to
assume that this is the way it’s supposed to be? Thus, most spiritual
people end up in an unbalanced and poorly integrated lifestyle. It almost
seems like it is such a necessity.
Some people, in order to overcome this so-called necessity, isolate
themselves from other people in monasteries, secluded places and similar
places. In there they try to practice their spirituality. But it is to no avail
because they go in the opposite extreme disregarding the physical reality
which they consider to be unreal and an illusion. Thus, they fall into
falsities, a trap set up for them by the negative state, believing that they
can accomplish a balanced and integrated life if they restrict themselves
in some areas of their lives. However, any restriction is from the negative
state. By doing that, they support the negative state as much as those
who disregard the spiritual aspect of life. They don’t wish to realize that
they cannot acquire the balanced and integrated life by excluding some
important aspect of that life. They deceive themselves into believing that
the external or physical aspect of life is only an illusion or what Indian
philosophy calls “Maya.” By doing that, these people are violating the
principles of the positive state. Therefore, they cannot be in the positive
state no matter how holy and pious they look, act, and behave.
In view of these facts, how then can we arrive at the true
understanding and fulfillment of our earthly life?
First of all, it is necessary to accept the fact that our earthly life is not
the only type of life; that our world is not the only possible world; that
the reality which we perceive with our physical senses or sensory organs
is not the only reality; that our life neither begins nor ends on this Earth;
and, therefore, it neither derives from nor depends on our physical body
or any particles of matter.
Secondly, it is necessary for all of us to finally realize that we are the
product of the extensive genetic alteration by the so-called
pseudo-creators through which life without true spirituality, without the
Most High, and without the true balancing and integration is illustrated,
manifested, actualized and realized.
Thirdly, it is necessary to realize that, because of this situation, we do
not live in the true Creation but in the Zone of Displacement where such
life is possible and can bear its fruits. All our problems, miseries,
sufferings, hassles and troubles are the fruits of such a life.
Fourthly, it is necessary to realize that this is the upside-down world
in which all reality is perverted and falsified and, thus, in which all our
knowledge, perception, feelings, wills, desires, wishes, understanding or
whatever we have, without any exceptions or exclusions, are either
distorted or totally untrue.
By having this and similar knowledge of what this earthly life is all
about, we can arrive at the proper understanding and fulfillment of our
earthly life.
But why is it that we are part of this pseudo-life and how do we go
about fulfilling its purpose?
These and similar questions were answered in the book called “Who
Are You And Why Are You Here?” Here we are going to repeat only that
we all agreed from our own free will to be here and to illustrate some
aspects of the true nature of the negative state and to learn how to
overcome it. Different people fulfill the purpose of their life in a different
way and manner. But, in an ultimate sense, we all contribute to the
important spiritual learning for all in the Most High’s Creation and in
the Zone of Displacement.
When we were volunteering to come here, we also volunteered to
accept all conditions which exist on this Earth. We also agreed to have no
memories that all these things happened this way and that there is
anything else above and beyond what we remember during our earthly
life.
One of the major purposes of our being here is for illustration of the
negative state. The only way the negative state can be illustrated is by
the exposure of its true nature. The true nature of the negative state is
exposed in our problems, miseries, sufferings, hassles, hostilities,
aggressions, anger, fear, hate, envy, etc., and in everyday life struggles
and, most importantly, in the manner and way that we cope with them
and overcome them. By this act, we illustrate to all in the Most High’s
Creation, that no matter what happens in the interim, the only outcome
of our life is the triumph of the positive state and the ultimate
elimination of the negative state.
The best possible weapon for removal of our problems, or whatever
negativity we have and experience, is in learning to live a balanced life
and strive for integration of all aspects of our earthly life.
In order to do that we need to rearrange our priorities and align
ourselves with the style of life of the positive state.
A balanced and integrated life can be conceived as follows:
1. The first priority of balance of an integrated life is the
unconditional necessity of recognition, acceptance, and application of the
fact that all life, as well as our personal, individual life, in all its aspects,
levels, steps, and degrees, stems from the Absolute Source of Life — the
Most High Who is the Lord Jesus Christ and Who has many others
names (all names are His/Hers). Because the Most High is an Absolute
Spiritual Being, the truly balanced and integrated life can be properly
regulated only by the Lord’s spiritual principles of Love and Wisdom.
Therefore, we need to accept and to incorporate these spiritual
principles into our everyday living. See the formulation of some of those
principles in the first chapter of this book and in the book “Major Ideas of
the New Revelation.” Failure to recognize, accept and apply this principle
in our life eliminates the most important tool of balancing and
integration of our earthly life. By our unwillingness to do so, we support
and fuel the negative state and perpetuate indefinitely all our problems
and miseries or whatever we have. If we refuse the very source of
everything good and positive, we cannot have anything in our life which
is truly good and positive. We end up with fake good and fake positive,
which, in the ultimate sense, brings us nothing but troubles, problems
and unhappiness. No matter what the interim state of this pseudo-good
and pseudo-positive feels like or seems like, somewhere along the line of
our earthly life we get tired of it, or satiated by it or it will bring us all
kinds of physical, emotional, mental, sexual, social, financial,
environmental, family and work breakdowns.
How do we prove that this principle is the most important one for
balancing and integrating our earthly life? Just by looking at what
happens in our life and in the life of humankind on this Earth. This life
was and is patterned on the total disregard of this principle or
underestimation of its vital importance for proper, successful and
effective balancing and integration of our life.
If we cannot see the true reality of this situation, we are totally blind
and deaf.
2. The principles of the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom of the
Most High are manifested in our ability and need to love and to be wise.
The source of that ability and need is One Whose Essence And Substance
Is Pure Love and Pure Wisdom. From this source, our life originated. It
is only natural, therefore, that all our love be directed to its source — the
Most High. In such a direction of our love is its very wisdom. It is wise to
love God above all and above everything for the sake of that principle.
Because the nature of the Most High is Absolute Balance and Absolute
Integration of all aspects of Absolute Life, if we love the Most High above
all and above everything, we inadvertently appropriate to ourselves a
balanced and integrated life. Such is an outcome of that love. Because
God is within us, by loving that Presence within us above all and above
everything, we trigger all positive and good states of that Presence,
which are subsequently transmitted into our everyday life. This is the
only way we can trigger anything positive and good. By loving positive
and good, that is, by loving the Absolute Source of everything positive
and good — the Most High, we trigger in our lives or bring into our lives
everything positive and good. And since everything positive and good is
always balanced and integrated, through such a love we acquire a
balanced and integrated life.
Now, the principle here states very clearly: there is no other truly
happy, balanced, integrated, wise and loving life possible, but by loving
God above all and above everything. This is the true Wisdom of our Life.
If we do love God above all and above everything we are very wise. No
other source of wisdom has ever existed, exists or will exist. If we do not
love God, we end up loving misery. We must love something. This is the
nature of our life. To love means to live. So, if we don’t love God, we don’t
love anything good and positive. We end up loving everything bad and
negative. In order to rationalize, justify and excuse this negative love, we
proclaim everything bad and negative to be truly good and positive.
Thus, we become slaves of the negative state. This results, of course, in
one-sidedness or lopsidedness of our earthly life. The lopsidedness,
disproportion and disarray of our earthly life is the source of all our
miseries, problems, sufferings, pains and unhappiness as well as of all
atrocities and abominations which have been taking place on this Earth
since the time of the so called “Fall,” that is, since the time of activation
of the negative state.
3. The Most High is present in us as well as in everyone else. If we
are to love the Most High above all and above everything for the sake of
principle (because this is the way the truly balanced and integrated life
is and there is no other way), then the consequence of that love is love
toward all others and ourselves.
As mentioned previously, it is impossible to love God unless we love
everyone in His/Her Creation. The presence of the Creator is manifested
in His/Her Creation. Therefore, if we do not love others and ourselves, we
do not love the Most High. By the same token, if we do not love the Most
High, we do not love others and ourselves either.
This is the mystery of true love. No matter what we think, if we do
not love God, we cannot truly love ourselves or others. It is impossible to
separate one from another because we are nothing else but receptacles
and containers of God’s love. Remember, “I am” only because God Is.
Self-love, without love to God above all and above everything and
without love to others, is not true love but a stolen emotion that was
perverted in order to make it possible to direct it toward one’s self with
the exclusion of everyone and everything else. If this were a true love, we
would never end up with all our life problems, miseries, sufferings,
greed, avarice, suspiciousness, jealousy, envy, vindictiveness, murders,
violence, wars or whatever we have in abundance on this pseudo-earth.
The true love doesn’t have such emotions or states. They are destructive.
True love builds and doesn’t destroy. However, self-love is built
exclusively on such negative and adverse emotions.
Thus, no other love but love of God in us and others and, thus, love of
others and ourselves can and may result in any experience and
establishment of the balanced and integrated life.
Consequently, in order to experience, to acquire, to have and to retain
a truly balanced and integrated life, we are to love the Most High in us
and in others above all and above everything. Thus, we are to love others
and ourselves for the sake of the Most High. By doing this we are
fulfilling the purpose of our life on this Earth or anywhere else and we
can eliminate the imbalanced and unintegrated negative state from our
life.
4. In order to bring into our earthly life a balanced and integrated
living, we need to recognize, to accept and to apply the following fact:
In a general sense, we were created for the purpose of receiving,
giving, sharing and reciprocating what we are and what we have. For
this very purpose, our Creator, the Most High, Who is the Lord Jesus
Christ, placed in us a unique and different aspect of His/Her life. No one
else has or can have the same aspect as I do. I cannot have in me the
same aspect as other people do. Being Absolute, the Most High cannot
place in something which is created the totality of all His/Her aspects.
He/She evenly distributed them to the infinite number and variety of
inhabitants of His/Her Creation in order that they may share them with
one another and, thus, through those aspects in one another, that they
may know the Most High better. The better knowledge of the Most High
enables the deeper and the more profound love toward the Most High.
The deeper the love toward the Most High, the deeper the love to others
and ourselves.
Because of this arrangement, it is vital and crucial that we become
ourselves. The more we become ourselves, the more the true nature of
the aspect of the Most High in us is manifested and available in its
purity for sharing with everyone else.
Thus, it is my duty, right, obligation and privilege for the sake of God
and for the sake of all to be truly myself. If I fail to be my true nature, or
if I try or lust to be as or like someone else, or I want to imitate someone,
or to conform to uniformity and standards of external, social demands, I
deny myself and the Most High in me, as well as I deny the privilege for
everyone else to know my true self as it was created by the Most High.
By doing that I destroy the balance and integration of my life.
Thus, the true balanced and integrated life is possible only if we
accept our true nature, as it was created by the Most High and for the
purpose it was created by the Most High, and remain always faithful to
our genuine assignment.
By doing that we effectively and successfully eliminate the negative
state from our earthly life and return to our proper place.
5. It is impossible to lead a balanced and integrated life from the
upside-down position into which our world was violently forced. But this
world consists of human beings who keep themselves and their world in
this perverted position. So, in order to rectify this situation, we need to
change our lifestyle in the most fundamental and revolutionary manner.
We must reject the life which feeds us with all kinds of illusions that
there is no other reality than what we live in. We must begin to follow
the proper flow of life, from spiritual, to mental, to physical, to
environmental, to external, etc.
Thus, the spiritual consideration of our earthly life has to be placed in
its proper position and taken equal care of as of all others.
Unless we start to derive everything from the spiritual principles, as
they flow from the Most High, we can never experience the truly
balanced and integrated life no matter how hard we would try and no
matter what we would do.
It is a total futility to try to be happy, content and satisfied by means
which do not contain in themselves anything of a positive nature. But
this is exactly what people on this Earth and in the entire Zone of
Displacement have been doing since the activation of the negative state.
Thus, we have to rediscover the proper spiritual and mental tools which
are built of everything positive and good and incorporate this tool in our
life in order to acquire and experience the true happiness, contentment
and satisfaction. No such experiences are available if we violate the
major principle of Creation that everything occurs in the spirit, proceeds
into the soul and becomes in the body. Because happiness, contentment
and satisfaction are inherent in the balanced and integrated life, only
properly balanced and integrated everyday living can bring them to us.
There is no other way to acquire a truly balanced and integrated life.
6. As mentioned many times before, our life consists of different levels
and aspects. Because they are all of the same life, our life can be properly
lived and manifested only if all its aspects and levels have a proper and
equal opportunity to be actualized, realized and manifested.
If we prefer one aspect over the other, we shall end up in over-using
one and underutilizing the other. This results in a gross imbalance and
the life in us suffers. From such an imbalanced life many spiritual,
mental, emotional, intellectual, sexual, physical, social, family, work,
governmental, etc. problems and sufferings originate.
If we are ever to establish a balanced and integrated life in our
everyday living, we must learn to structure our daily life in such a
manner as to equally give an opportunity for all aspects of our life to be
properly manifested.
Thus, we need to learn to pay equal attention to our spiritual
well-being, to our mental well-being, to our physical well-being, to our
sexual well-being, to our professional and work well-being, to our family
well-being, to our social well-being and to our leisure and sleep
well-being.
The equal consideration and care for all the above aspects of our
everyday life in succession from spiritual, to mental, to physical, etc., all
the way down to the leisure and sleep life, this is what a properly
balanced and integrated life means. If we neglect or even slightly
underestimate or overestimate any one of those aspects, we are violating
the spiritual rule of balancing and integration. Disregard for one or two
or some aspects of our life creates a serious problem which makes it
impossible for us to become truly ourselves and to properly understand
and fulfill our earthly life. By doing that we support, fuel, and perpetuate
the negative state in us. So, in order to get rid of the negative state, we
have to thoroughly evaluate our current lifestyle and rearrange it in such
a manner as to establish a proper spiritual hierarchy of life which
incorporates all its numerous aspects on an equal basis, giving them all
an opportunity to be actualized, realized and properly manifested. Only
in this manner can we truly learn to live a balanced, integrated life.
7. The devastating and fatal condition for a properly balanced and
integrated life on this Earth is our unwillingness to share everything
what we are and what we have unconditionally with all others and all
others with ourselves. We develop a sense of possessiveness, exclusivity,
ownership, jealousy, inaccessibility, untouchability, exclusive rights,
restrictions, limitations, prohibitions, taboos, and many other similar evil
and negative feelings which make it impossible for a proper godly
sharing to occur. People are willing to share some things but some other
things they exclude from that sharing on the basis that they are private
and their own possession and that they have the exclusive right to it.
These things are jealously guarded to the point that we feel right to hurt
or even kill others if they intrude upon our private life, property or
family life or on our spouse or children, etc. Unfortunately, this type of
lifestyle is sanctioned and protected by civil code, moral, social and
religious laws and considerations.
The intricate judicial system is developed which condones, supports
and protects people to be this negative way. This is particularly true
regarding sexual life, family life, and social life. Unconditional sharing in
these areas is considered immoral, perverted, and destructive to the life
of society at large.
This situation, of course, makes it impossible for our earthly life to
fulfill its major and genuine purpose — for giving, receiving, sharing and
reciprocating with unconditional love and its wisdom (unimposed sharing
or sharing only with those who are willing to reciprocate without any
ulterior or selfish motivations and intents).
Thus, our imbalanced and unintegrated life is imposed on us by the
established laws, rules, regulations, restrictions, taboos, limitations and
expectations that we are bound to follow. Otherwise, we end up being
punished. This is a serious dilemma.
In order to change this situation we need an extreme and intensive
spiritual, mental, moral, sexual and social revolution which would
overthrow such establishments, traditions, conventions, customs or
whatever we have.
We need to learn to give, to receive, to share and to reciprocate in the
spirit of unconditional love and its wisdom. We need to become free of all
atrocities and abominations of self-exclusivity, self-righteousness,
possessiveness, ownership of others, jealousy, envy, greed and egoism
which are socially and legally sanctioned in so many areas of our life.
Because of this, one of the most important requirements of our life is
constantly being violated and, therefore, we can never establish a
balanced and integrated life on this Earth as long as this situation exists.
The above mentioned types of feelings and attitudes can be
considered one of the most successful means, tools and weapons of the
negative state for its success and flourishment. If we are ever to
eliminate the negative state from our lives (all our problems), we must
get rid of this major powerful weapon of our archenemy — the negative
state. Only then can we begin to experience what the balanced and
integrated life is truly all about.
8. Any work on the establishment of a balanced and integrated life
must start with ourselves individually. We cannot change others but we
can change ourselves. By doing that, we can become a living example for
others, demonstrating to them by our new life, that such a change is not
only possible but highly desirable and advantageous. However, we
cannot change ourselves by external means or by expecting that someone
else will come and change us. Up to this point, we have been kept by the
negative state in us in the external world, away from ourselves. We have
to learn to break this devastating bad habit — to always look outward to
someone or something else, and find the way back home — to within
ourselves, to our true spirit and soul and, most importantly, to our
heavenly Parent, our Creator Who is the Most High, the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Thus, we must learn to go inward and to establish a proper
relationship with our true self, with all aspects of our mind, with all
other dimensions and their inhabitants, with all those who are
constantly with us, even though we are not aware of them on our
conscious level, with our true Inner Mind (our spirit) and with the true
Most High in us. Reconnection to our original Source, which can be found
only within us, is the major vehicle by which the negative state can be
eliminated and the balanced and integrated life firmly established
instead.
If we believe that any other way is possible to accomplish this goal,
we are fooling ourselves.
Therefore, we have to seek answers to all questions not outside but
inside of ourselves. Only from that position can we learn to truly
understand and fulfill our earthly life to the satisfaction of our Creator
and to our own satisfaction. Only from there can we learn what the most
efficient, appropriate and successful way for living a balanced and
integrated life for everyone of us individually is. There are no external
means, uniformly applicable for everyone, which would give us this vital
knowledge. We are all different and we need different modes, types and
styles of balanced and integrated life. That mode, style, content,
structure, sequence and time we need to spend for each aspect of life, is
available only within us. No one else has that knowledge. For that
reason, unless we go within ourselves, we can never learn anything
properly. Thus, we could never be balanced and integrated.
9. And, finally, the establishment of a balanced and integrated life
depends to a considerable degree on how much we are willing and ready
to accept the reality of life as it was described in this book and other
books of the so-called New Revelation (the list of those books appears on
the last page of this book).
One of the major means of our success in this, as well as in any other
respect, is our willingness to be open-minded and flexible.
Life is a continuous spiritual progression. Everything in it is always
fluid, changeable and different. Unless we follow this flow, we get stuck
somewhere along the line and instead of progressing we will be
backsliding into a greater degree of rigidity, one-sidedness,
narrow-mindedness, dogmatism, fanaticism and clinging to only one
mode of living, knowing and understanding. If we are not willing to look
at ourselves and see this requirement of life and if we are not willing to
admit that we need to change and to get rid of everything that has been
plaguing our life up to this point, we are loyal slaves to the hells and
their rulers.
No progression, growth and betterment of life, and thus, no balanced
and integrated life is possible without our willingness to change. We
were given by the Most High an eternal ability to change so that we
could live a life of continuous spiritual and overall progression. The
negative state constantly assaults our willingness to use this ability for
changing ourselves. It closes our mind so that we would not feel any need
to seek any change so that we would choose to be kept by the negative
state in a stagnant condition. To feel the need for change requires from
us to keep our mind open and to be flexible. Therefore, we must learn to
recognize the mortal danger of our reluctance to change at any given
moment. Stagnation in one condition and place is a spiritual death. It is
hell. It is a destructor of a balanced and integrated life.
For that reason, in order to succeed in our endeavor to live a balanced
and integrated life, we are advised to go inward and ask to receive a
strong desire, willingness and determination to change any time it is
needed and necessary and to always keep our mind and heart open and
to be flexible to receive any new ideas about life and everything else.
In this way we can contribute toward the elimination of the negative
state in us and in general and toward the establishment of a true life of
balance and integration.
In order to accomplish this we are advised to do the following or
similar exercises:
EXERCISES FOR A BALANCED AND INTEGRATED LIFE
1. Go inward into yourself, as outlined in the previous chapters and in
the book, “Who Are You And Why Are You Here?” (Chapter 4).
2. Establish contact with your true Inner Mind and ask to be
reintroduced to all people present from the positive state (all your
Spiritual Advisors. By now you should have eight Spiritual Advisors —
one for spiritual life, one for mental life, one for physical and bodily life,
one for sexual life, one for professional and work life, one for family life,
one for social life and one for leisure and sleep life). In all humbleness,
modesty and humility request the Most High to become your Highest
Spiritual Advisor Who will be in charge of the balancing and integrating
of your life. You have to remember that only the Most High can help you
and to be the true Source of balancing and integration of anything.
Talk with all your Spiritual Advisors about various aspects of your
life which each of them represent. Ask them what is needed, what are
the current problems, what is lacking, if anything, and what needs to be
done from the standpoint of each of them.
3. Ask the Most High to bring to your attention all and any problems
and sources in your life which make your life unbalanced and
unintegrated. What aspects of your life do you constantly overload, or
exaggerate or overutilize? What aspects do you neglect, underestimate,
and inappropriately incorporate in your life?
4. Ask for mercy and forgiveness for doing that and being that way,
for neglecting to properly balance and integrate your life, and request
help in freeing yourself from all those shortcomings, problems, and
reasons that were behind your adverse lifestyle. Utilize the white lights
coming from the Most High, going into you and removing all of them, as
well as repairing and healing in you everything that needs to be repaired
and healed.
5. Meditate on the content of this chapter and its nine points and ask
all your Spiritual Advisors and the Most High to help you to understand,
to accept, and to apply all the spiritual principles in your life (after you
verify their validity).
6. Ask your Highest Spiritual Advisor Who is the Most High to
determine for you in what manner you should structure your daily living
so that all aspects of your earthly life are properly incorporated,
actualized and realized, and have equal time and opportunity for their
manifestation. Have the Most High show you how much time you should
spend on each activity related to them (different days may require a
different length of time for different aspects of your life).
7. In the presence of all your other Spiritual Advisors, request the
Most High to illustrate to you, if you are ready, what is the true meaning
of your earthly life? Why are you here and who are you? How are you to
understand you earthly life and what is the best possible way to fulfill
the purpose of your being here?
8. Request the Most High, as your Highest Spiritual Advisor, and
your Inner Mind and all other Spiritual Advisors, to properly reconnect
and integrate all aspects of your personality and your life in accordance
with the true spiritual principles of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom from
within to without, and to keep your mind open and to make you mobile,
flexible, tolerant, and always ready to unconditionally give, receive,
share and reciprocate in the spirit of true love and wisdom. Have the
Most High fill you with the sense and experience of His/Her Divine Love
and Divine Wisdom and to inspire you and lead you in all matters of your
life without any exception or exclusion whatsoever.
9. Commit yourself to do this or similar type of exercises on a daily
basis. These exercises are a part of your true spiritual life which make it
possible for you to live in a balanced and integrated manner and allow
you to acquire a true understanding and fulfillment of your life. When
you are finished, be sure to thank everyone for all help and everything
that happened and ask if there is anything else that needs to be
accomplished today. If yes, proceed to work on it until all is finished. If
not, finish your exercises feeling refreshed, alert, clear-headed, in an
excellent mood and ready to go about your other daily activities in a most
effective and successful manner.
Be sure to always search and examine yourself and the style and
mode of your exercises in order to find out whether in you or in your
exercises there is any tendency to slip into ritualization, automatization,
habituation or superficiality. Vigorously remove any such tendencies.
Never allow them to come into your life by being always innovative,
inventive, creative, diverse and versatile in your exercises and
everything else and by asking the Most High and all your true Spiritual
Advisors to help you to be truly innovative, inventive and creative in
this, as well as in any other tasks of your life.
Now, if we follow this or similar procedures, as they were outlined
throughout this book, and if we do them faithfully, loyally, diligently and
with great determination, we can gradually, step-by-step, eliminate the
negative state from our life and establish a balanced and integrated life.
By doing that, we shall have a proper understanding and fulfillment of
our earthly life.
Then we shall be blessed by our Creator forevermore.
