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