Jesus: The internal and external Teaching
Jesus: The internal and external Teaching
=====================================
I AM Jesus, having come to you. I have come as before in order to provide some instructions, which I hope will be useful for your souls. There is an external teaching; there is also an internal Teaching. You know this or you may have heard of it. What is the difference expressed in?
Every time when we give instructions on this topic, we give the material in a slightly more different way, in order for you to be able to comprehend the provided instruction in its entire wholeness. You know that when I was in incarnation 2000 years ago, I was giving my Teaching to a lot of people. Was this Teaching external or internal? In order to answer this question let us think together.
When a messenger or a prophet is born, he comes with a particular mission. And the mission of such a herald is only one – retrieval of the true Teaching. The Teaching, which has always been present in the world since the beginning of times, but was forgotten many thousands of years ago. You need the renewal of knowledge. Therefore, we come today in order to provide the retrieved knowledge, the knowledge that you can comprehend now.
If very recently, when I was in incarnation and long after that, a person had appeared, who had been bringing the Teaching, which we now are providing so widely, he could not have preached so widely and openly because of the simple reason that a lot of limitations, inherent to all religions in the world, existed. Every religion in its own represents a codex of particular dogmas and rules. And it probably occurs to you that a major part of these dogmas and rules have not been given by me or the founders of the other religions, but have appeared quite later and have been introduced by the fathers of the church. For every person according to his/her view of life and general culture wants to instruct the others in the best way. However, when this person does not talk on behalf of God, but his/her carnal mind is talking within him/her, then the result of his/her efforts is sometimes completely opposite to the result, which the Ascended Masters wish to be manifested among people. In particular: behind all truly existing mysteries, everyone aims at finding something, which the human mind could be able to explain. While this, which is not subject to any explanation, is either kept silent or is proclaimed as a Divine miracle. And when a lot of generations repeat and transmit the story of this miracle, which took place hundreds and thousands of years ago, by word of mouth, then the stereotype or the dogma appears, which exists regardless of the consciousness of the people, who have joined to one or another religion or church.
The Truth is present in any dogma, but in order for this truth to be understood by new generations of people, there is a need of a person to come and to renew again the people’s perception of the Divine Truth.
It has always been like this. And it is the same as when you dig out a well and use water from it. You get used to drinking the water from this well because there is no other place where you can get it. And even when the water after some time starts stagnating, you put up with this water for you don’t know how to find a new source. And here comes a new person who digs out a new well. You try the water warily because you know that the water can be different and sometimes it is even possible to get poisoned by it. Long time passes away, until all inhabitants get used to the new well and start taking water from it.
This is just the same with giving the new Teaching. Every time a new person comes and provides one and the same ancient Teaching, comprehensible for the people of that time. And this Teaching at the beginning contains perfect Divine vibrations and attracts everyone with its novelty. However, afterwards, when the bearer of the Teaching goes away, those who have accepted that Teaching start interpreting it all in his/her own way. Because the flow of the Divine opportunity is cut, and there is no human being on the earth who is a transmitter of the Divine energy.
Every time one and the same Teaching is being given, and the essence of this Teaching is simple and clear even for a small child. However, this which is clear for an infant slips away from the carnal mind and is not subject to any logical analysis. Therefore, it is very important for each of you to manage to find the source of the Teaching within yourself. All true religions have as their basis the teaching of God, who lives in the heart of every human being. And as the people have lost the ability to hear God in their hearts, the mediators, who hear God or who say they hear God, have appeared.
There is nothing shameful in this that you turn for help to a mediator to instruct you on the path. The question is only in this to what extent such a mediator is a bearer of the Divine Truth. Therefore, it is more simply and more efficiently if every one of you can adjust to the Divine tune and feel the Divine vibrations in his/her heart. Believe me, God lives in the heart of every one of you. And it is not necessary to go around the earth in search for the one who would instruct you. However, as the ability for a direct hearing of God is lost by many of the nowadays people, you have to at least have criteria, which will allow you to recognise among the old and the new preachers the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
There where God is present, there is no place for gossip and tittle-tattle. There where God is present there is no place for mercenary interests and a desire for earning at the expense of the fellowman. There where God is present there is only giving, you are given, give and given the Divine nectar to drink and you are not wanted anything in exchange.
Never run after external rituals. Never try to comprehend mysteries where there are none. Live simply. Fulfil the commandments given by Moses and the prophets, and the most important aim to preserve in your heart the feeling of Love and sympathy towards the fellowman and towards everything alive.
The attitude towards every small particle of Life, towards every Divine manifestation distinguishes the true believer from the hypocrite who hides behind the name of God, but does not have God in his/her heart.
I gave you a commandment: “Love each other”. I have come to tell you that when Love lives in your heart, you do not need any external preacher, you don’t need to waste time in searching for God outside you, because you have Love, and therefore you abide in God, for God is Love.
I have come to you on this day in order to provide you with an idea of the internal Teaching, which is present in your hearts and which is Love.
I AM Jesus.
