RELIGION
You are all right, but you are all so wrong. This is because you all have accepted what you have been told, what you have been conditioned to believe. What I will say today may sound unbelievable to others but you should be able to ring the bell of truth. Let us once again, as so many of my discourses do, start from the moment of separation. When the soul separates from the universal soul and attains an individuality all of its own and then desires for whatever reason to take human form, the soul in order to live and maintain itself and its energy in the human body needs to go through certain changes. We constantly speak to you of your higher soul. The higher self is your own soul that is still unchanged and completely like the universal soul. The soul that is trapped within your human body is the soul that has been necessarily made to go through changes. What kind of changes? Forgetfulness. By this I don’t mean forgetting day-to-day things. Forgetfulness means forgetting what the universal soul is all about. That is the one greatest change and we all know why this change is made. Because this soul needs to experience, to learn whatever lessons it desires. There is no domination on our part there is no pre-destination. There is only free will. You may very often feel that you are being pushed into things and that we keep on and on and on teaching you lessons till you learn them. You wonder where the free will comes in. The free will, my children, is not for the soul that is trapped in the human body, your higher self, who remains unchanged, exercises the free will. But it is you, it is no one else. And at no point of time, not for the slightest moment is the link between you and your higher self broken. So if there are “pushes” that come your way and if you experience anger from us, remember children, that we feel no anger. What you experience as anger is power, strength, and determination to stand firm. And if you feel that you are faltering and we push and show you our power, it is only because we are in contact, in direct link with your higher soul every moment. The moment your higher soul decides that a lesson has been learnt, or the higher soul decides to change a little bit of the blue print, we will not in any way interfere. So then what is religion and its connection with all that I have said?
When your soul is trapped in the human body, because of the changes made in the soul, the soul experiences a shift in its energy. You must know children, and you must always remember that every thing, from the smallest word to the largest deed is all just energy. The whole universe is nothing else but energy, you are nothing else but energy; we are nothing else but energy. So the soul experiences a shift. You may wish to call it an imbalance. It is not really an imbalance; it is just a shift from the normal energy. Now, this shift is necessary because with this comes the forgetfulness that is so essential. But, so funny are the ways of energy. Energy wishes to forget in order to remember. So there is a shift, and your whole purpose as a human soul is to come back to the same balance of energy so that you are aligned to the universal soul. You have heard of spiritual souls living without food, water and sleep and you may wonder why. You may think that it is because of the strength of their prayers and meditation. It is no such thing at all my children, it is no such thing. The minute this son of mine, who constantly says “how can I” stops saying that and believes that he can, his energy will shift. He will be aligned. He will then not need to ask the question “how”. When there is need to ask “how” you know there is an imbalance. When there is balance then there is no need for the human body to survive in the way other human bodies survive. Then a wonderful thing happens. The human soul has the same energy as the higher soul, which, of course, has the same energy as the universal soul. And then the human soul, even when trapped in the human body, is part of the universal soul. And why then does the human soul need food and water and drink?
So why religion? All that the religious masters tried to teach was how to realign your energy. There was no other truth. Children, never blindly follow scriptures. Let me tell you one thing. A religious master himself has written no scripture. None. They wouldn’t have known what to write because all they desired to teach was done through their own living. They never taught, they never spoke they only lived. And when they lived as human souls, in complete alignment with the universal soul, they hoped that others around then would learn to do the same. Very often, their words have been misinterpreted, and very often they have been made to say things they never said. But even if they did not write the scriptures, those who followed their precepts wrote them. There are words of truth in the scriptures. But, you see what happens when you are reading the scriptures; you feel you are reading the words of Mohammed, of Buddha, or the Christ or Zarathushtra. They are not their words. All that the scriptures are giving you are guidelines of how to align your energy. Think of it in this way. This is the universal soul. Within is the human soul. (He cupped one hand in the other.)One fits so well into the other. But when is there a shift, there is no fit. All that the masters tried to teach was how to ‘fit’. When you are ‘unfit’ and that is where the word comes to you in your language, you are unfit because your soul’s energy is in conflict, it tosses you about constantly, there is no calm, and so your physical body will also be unfit. There is only one cure to every disease, every sickness, and every illness. REALIGNMENT. That is it. There is no other cure. Your medicines, temporarily, because of their chemical energy, enable a small shift. Chemical energy can never help you to realign. That is the only permanent cure. Realignment. This child of mine spoke of the origin of the word and she said that it means to ‘bind’. But my child, this does not mean bind you to God. Children there is no binding to god, ever. THERE IS NO GOD TO BIND WITH!!! Now I can see raised eyebrows. There is no God, so what have we been talking about all these weeks? There is no POWER (pointing upwards), there is GOD (pointing to the heart within). So whom do you bind with? Yourself. And how do you do this? By realignment. So the word ‘bind’, my child, is an important word. It does not mean to link, it means to SHIELD. That is the meaning, to shield, to bind your energy so that it does not get more out of alignment. That is why, my children, you tie the kusti or the hindu thread. In other religions and ancient tribes there will always be a thread, or a metal ring or any band, which is symbolically worn. It symbolizes the shield you make for yourself. Because if her energy is not aligned, and his energy is not aligned, and if she does not shield her unaligned energy, she leaves herself open to further unalignment from him. That is why “PRAYERS”. Prayers are not meant to take you upwards on some mythical journey. There is no upwards, there is no downwards; there is only inwards. So what do prayers do? I have already said that they help you shield your unaligned energy, but they also simultaneously help you to realign your self. But the mere parroting of the words is not enough. They don’t do anything for you. They neither help you, nor harm you. They do nothing. Yes, because they are words and they have their energy, for a short while you will feel their positive energy around you. But that is all. But when prayers are spoken out of love, only then do they become ‘prayers’. And why were certain set prayers given through so many mediums? For only one reason. Not every one can sit down and write a prayer. Some appreciate something that is already there for them in black and white, and others prefer their own words. There is no compulsion in either. Yes, what is true is that when the same words are spoken again and again and again and again and again, their energies are always vibrating and your realignment might be simpler…. MIGHT. But, if you are uncomfortable with the words that are written and you truly feel no love when you are saying those words, why waste your time? You all lead such busy lives, and it should be so. Why sit for even five minutes doing some action that you think, erroneously, might take you to a place that does not even exist? I repeat again children. There is no GOD (pointing upwards). So then, who is this divine power, who is the divine energy that we speak of, who is the ‘lord’? One part is within you and the other part is the large universal soul that you are striving to realign with. So what is this universal soul? LIGHT ENERGY.
So you see, dear child, there is no need for fear . All that GOD is, is LIGHT ENERGY that you have not yet aligned with. You spoke wisely, child, that fear helps to control. Do not ever listen to any one who desires to strike fear within you. They may claim words from the highest source but if the words scare you, you know that they are false. When the High Lord Mitreha spoke to you, you were disturbed. What you experienced as a disturbance was the gap between your energy and his. So now you know how out of alignment you are. And when the energy vibrates at the rate that the High Lord’s does, you will naturally experience disturbance. Do not mistake disturbance for fear. And if there are ever words that we speak through this child which strike fear within you, ignore them. Those are our instructions. IGNORE THEM. But be cautious. Do not ignore them because it is convenient to ignore them and say that they scare you. Don’t let this fellow play tricks on you.(pointing to the mind). This fellow, my son, is responsible for the shift (showed unalignment of the hands) and this fellow is necessary for the shift (showed alignment of the hands).
Q: Then don’t you think we would have been better off without this fellow?
Then why take human form at all? You could have remained the universal soul that you are.
Q : I wish I had.
Now, that is the human soul talking. The higher soul desired the experience. Who is the higher soul? YOU. So you are now saying that you don’t desire the experience that you desire. You have been a man of logic. Is this logic?
Q: I regret it now.
No regret, my son, no regret. When you regret there can be no shift. No regret, but responsibility. When you say you regret, my son, you are running away from responsibility.
Q : Sir, I regret all the wasted years and the LOGIC that came in my way.
That is a wonderful statement, my son, and do you know with that one statement your energy has already realigned considerably.
So that is religion, and that is prayer and that is God, and that is you and we and the large universal soul that never ends and never begins.
