What Is the Truth?
About the ability to understand the eternal truth
(1-3).
Everything is consciousness (4-5). Man can understand only the truth that is actualized - Attainment of perfection (6-11). Who has the truth?
(12). The one who has no selfless love does not live in the truth and does not recognize
it - Each per- son is guided according
to his level of consciousness (13-16)
1. And again the twelve were gathered in the circle of the palm trees, and one of them, namely, Thomas, said to the others, "What is truth? For the same things appear differently to different people and even to the same person at different times. What then is truth?”
2. And as they were speaking, Jesus appeared in their midst and said, "The truth, the one and the absolute, is in God alone; for no one, not a single person, knows what God alone, who is in all things, knows. The truth can be revealed to man according to his ability to understand and grasp it.
3. The one truth has many sides; and the one sees only
one side, another sees another side; and some see more than others, as it is given to
them. (Chap. 90:1-3)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The eternal truth radiates in many facets into this world. However, each person can receive and understand only as much as he himself has actualized from the eternal truth, that is, as much as his spiritual consciousness has opened up.
The "ability to understand and grasp it” means to have opened one's spiritual consciousness - by actualizing and fulfilling the laws of God - to such an extent that he may correctly understand the law, God, the truth, as well as the many facets of the truth which radiate into this world.
The divine laws are taught and thereby revealed to man. One facet of the truth after the other reveals itself to the person who lives in accordance with the divine laws. Thus, his spiritual consciousness unfolds, and he is able to receive and understand more and more from the truth.
"... as it is given to them” means that a person's spiritual consciousness is unfolded to the extent that he has actualized from the eternal truth, from the law of God. With the opened part of his spiritual consciousness, he perceives the facet of the truth which is revealed to him according to the extent of his actualization. The one who has actualized more facets of the eternal truth perceives more; the other who has opened fewer facets perceives less. And so, the person understands more or less of the eternal truth, according to what he has opened of his spiritual consciousness.
4. Behold this crystal: How the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yes, in four times twelve, and each face reflects one ray of light, and the one looks at one face, and another at another, yet it is the one crystal and the one light which shines in all.
5. And behold, when one climbs a mountain and has reached
a certain height, he says: The top of the mountain is there, let us reach it. And when he
has reached this height, lo, there is another beyond it, until he comes to the height from
which no other height is to be seen - if he can
attain it. (Chap. 90:4-5)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Infinity is to be compared to a mighty crystal which radiates the various aspects of the eternal truth. Everything is consciousness. For this reason, the whole truth is contained in everything, in each building block of infinity.
Each person looks at the truth from another side or from another level, that is, from another degree of maturity of the soul. The true wise one has opened up all the facets of the truth and perceives the eternal truth in everything.
The one who lives in the truth has the eye of truth. With this eye of truth, he also perceives the humanness. The one who lives in the truth addresses the humanness, but does not live in the humanness.
6. So it is with the truth. I Am the truth, the way and the life, and I have given you the truth which I received from above. And what is seen and received by one is not seen and received by another. What appears true to some does not appear true to others. Those in the valley do not see what those on the hilltop see.
7. But to each, it is the truth as the individual mind sees it and until a higher truth is revealed to this one; the soul which can receive more light will be given more light. For this reason, do not condemn the others, so that you will not be condemned.
8. When you keep the holy law of love which I have given you, the truth shall be revealed to you more and more, and the Spirit of truth which comes from above will guide you into the whole truth, albeit through many wrong ways, as the fiery cloud guided the children of Israel through the desert.
9. Trust the light that you have until a higher light is given to you. Seek more light, and you will have abundance. Do not rest until you find.
10. God gives you all truth for the liberation and perfection of the soul, like a ladder with many rungs. You will leave today's truth for the higher truth of tomorrow. Strive for perfection.
11. Those who keep the holy law that I have given will
save their souls, however differently they may see the truth that I have given them.
(Chap. 90:6-11)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The statement "And what is seen and received by one is not seen and received by another” has the following meaning: The eternal truth radiates into infinity in countless facets. The whole universe, all Being, lives from the eternal truth. The divine, fine-material universe, the pure Being, is therefore the truth. All aspects of consciousness live from the life which is the truth - and all divine aspects of consciousness are, in turn, the truth.
According to his thinking and living, each person has his spiritual consciousness either shadowed over by negative things, by egocentric things, or expanded by a positive life that is devoted to God.
According to his level of consciousness, a person recognizes many or only a few facets of the eternal truth or, if he is oriented solely to the world, none at all. Thus, what one person can receive from the eternal truth, the other person whose consciousness does not yet have the far-sightedness of the Inner Life cannot receive and therefore cannot understand either. His light of consciousness does not yet reach as far as that of his neighbour. What appears true to the one who has expanded his spiritual consciousness appears to be untrue to his neighbour, whose consciousness still bears little spiritual light. Hence the words, "Those who are in the valley do not see what those who are on the hilltop see.”
The further statement, "But to each, it is the truth as the individual mind sees it and until a higher truth is revealed to this one; the soul which can receive more light will be given more light” has the following meaning: As long as the individual does not fulfil the facet from the eternal truth that was revealed to him, no further facet of the truth can be revealed to him. This means that he can indeed hear it, but will not fulfil it because he has not yet taken the first step, the actualization of the first facet. With his intellect, a person will look at and judge those facets of the eternal truth revealed to him until he, step by step, actualizes what he recognizes each time. Only then will he be able to receive a higher truth. When the correlations of all the facets of the eternal truth are revealed to him, he then immerses into the law of life, into the truth.
God, the eternal light, radiates Himself, the whole eternal truth, into infinity as countless facets of consciousness.
Only that person climbs the ladder to perfection who day after day endeavours to recognize and clear up what the day and the events of the day show him. The days show the person his own way of thinking and living, not that of his neighbour. For the person should first recognize and work on the beam in his own eye, before he looks for the splinter in the eye of his brother.
The one who does not live in the day wastes the days. Then he cannot climb any further rungs on the ladder to perfection. But the one who strives for the perfection of his spiritual life, by recognizing himself in the day and by clearing up what lies before him, will also reach it.
12. Many will say to Me: Lord, Lord, we were zealous for
Your truth. But I will say to them: No, you were zealous just that others would see it as
you see it and no other truth beside. Faith without charity is dead. Love is the
fulfilment of the law. (Chap. 90:12)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The one who just speaks of the truth and is of the opinion that his neighbours should see it as he does has not yet stepped onto the ladder to the eternal truth. Further facets of the eternal truth will not reveal themselves to the person who does not actualize that facet of the truth which is apparent to him and that he acknowledges to be true.
Therefore, the one who just speaks of the truth cannot reveal the truth to his neighbour, because he does not know the path of actualization.
And the one who thinks that only what he says is the right thing and does not admit to other facets of the truth is a fool and is blind to the truth.
Therefore, the one who believes only in what he himself is able to understand and insists on this in the opinion that he has the whole truth opposes those who actualize one facet of the eternal truth after the other in order to reach the eternal truth.
Recognize that the one who, for whatever reason, is against his neighbour is against God. The one who is against God is not in the truth, in the fulfilment of the law of God, the love.
13. How shall the faith which they have accepted be of use to them when they do not practise it in righteousness? Those who have love have everything and without love there is nothing of value. Let each one hold in love what he recognizes to be the truth, knowing that the truth is a dead letter and useless where there is no love.
14. Goodness, truth and beauty abide; but the greatest of these is goodness. If some have hated their brothers and hardened their hearts towards the creatures of God's hand, how can they see the truth for their salvation, when their eyes are blind and their hearts hardened towards God's creation?
15. As I have received the truth, so have I given it to you. Let each one receive it according to his enlightenment and his ability to understand it; and do not persecute those who receive it according to a different interpretation.
16. For the truth is the might of God and will prevail in
the end over all errors. But the holy law which I have given is plain for all and just and
good. Let all observe it for the salvation of their souls.” (Chap. 90:13-16)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The belief in the truth is not the truth itself, the law of life. The one who contents himself with just believing in the truth will never recognize the truth nor live in it.
True belief is the prerequisite for actualizing the recognized facet from the eternal truth. However, the one who does not expand his consciousness through actualization cannot recognize the justice of God, and thus cannot practise righteousness either.
Nor can he give selflessly, because he has not unveiled selfless love, the law of life, the truth, within himself. Only those spiritual principles of God which the person has actualized can he also give selflessly. For it is only out of the actualization of the recognized facets of the truth, that selfless love grows which, in turn, gives itself selflessly. The one who has no selfless love does not live in the truth either. He is interested in himself only; he loves himself and not the truth, for this is free from the human ego.
What is not given out of selfless love is of no value. Even though man talks a great deal about the eternal truth and wants to teach it to his neighbour, it remains empty words, like dead husks; for they are without spiritual life and thus dead letters.
The person who does not give out of the fulfilment of the law, out of God, but only spreads what he has read and considers to be the truth, is not a teacher of the truth - whether he is a theologian, priest, pastor or a believer in the Bible, even when he bears a high title.
The one whose heart is hardened is blind to life. He has no love - neither towards people nor towards animals, plants or stones.
The one whose heart is hardened and whose eyes are blind speaks and acts against his neighbour and against creation.
Therefore, examine with the eyes of righteousness, then you will recognize the righteous and the false teachers by their fruits.
The one who lives in the truth perceives what others do not see and hears what others do not hear; and so, he lets everyone believe as he wants to.
People in the Spirit of the Lord will neither condemn nor persecute their neighbours who receive spiritual knowledge from different sources and expound on it accordingly.
Each person is guided according to his level of consciousness, often through several obstacles or through other sources, until he is able to recognize the source of truth.
The truth is the life, God, the love, the power of infinity. After the return of
all fallen spirit beings, it will fully permeate everything. Then the souls will have
found their way again in God as pure beings out of God, and all coarse-material things
will be primordial substance, that is, divine essence. Then there will be neither human
beings nor souls, neither matter nor part-condensation. Everything will be united in the
Eternal. All Being will again become the Absolute Law, God, the love, the life. Until all
souls have again attained the conscious filiation in God, I remain the Redeemer of all
souls and people: Christ, the key to the door of life.
