Q:
What is Christ?
M:
Is this not a Christian country?
[Laughter] All right, since you pretend to be "not-knowing,"
I also will pretend that I know something and explain it to you for
the sake of continuing conversation. [Laughter]
Christ is the name of the
Divine Consciousness. There are many names for this Divine Consciousness.
When someone is awakened, he or she is called "Christian."
That is Christian terminology. In other countries and other traditions,
they call the same Power a different name, and that is why we have so
many so-called "religions" and even religious wars - all because
of different terminologies. What do you call "mother" in Greek?
(A: MITERA) In English, it's "mother," in French "la
mere," in German, "Mutter." Are they different or do
they all refer to the same lady who bore us? It is just a language problem.
We all have Christ within
ourselves. We just have to remember it, and I will show you how. In
case you still think Jesus is another person different from you, you
can see and talk to Him during your meditation after you reawaken your
own God power.
Be an
Enlightened Ghost
Q:
If life exists after death and people's spirits come back to Earth,
what are the procedures and the reasons?
M:
Do you want to know about ghosts
or do you want to know about reincarnation? There are two types of spirits
that come back to Earth. The ones that come back without the body are
called "ghosts" and the ones that come back choosing another
physical office to reside in are called "reincarnated." Actually,
they are both reincarnated. There are many ways a soul can be reincarnated,
not necessarily in this world and not necessarily in a physical or human
body.
At the time of death, some
people do not realize immediately that they are dead, so they hang around
trying to talk to relatives and friends, getting frustrated, banging
their heads and it doesn't hurt at all, trying to eat something and
getting very frustrated. Sometimes they try to cause trouble because
they do not want to accept that they have left this physical world and
still feel attached to the atmosphere of this planet. Just as we have
ignorant people, we also have ignorant ghosts, but after awhile they
will be removed to where they belong. Depending on their spiritual attainment,
their level of understanding of the Universe, they will be placed in
different places.
And the souls that come
back choosing another physical body, it is just to further experience
the phenomena of this world until they have had enough, and then they
will go and reincarnate somewhere else, or stay in Heaven, it depends.
Some spirits choose to come back to this world immediately after they
have departed, some choose to stay resting for awhile in between and
then come later, some choose to stay somewhere else for thousands of
years and come back, and some never come back here again. Actually,
the soul is a part of God just as a drop is a part of the ocean. The
soul is God itself, so it will know what it wants to do and it will
decide at the time of so-called "death" what to do next.
It's just that if we train
ourselves, we train this mind, this physical instrument, during our
lifetime, then at the time of death, the soul will depart more quickly.
The body and the mind won't struggle and we don't suffer. We know exactly
where we are going, which is directly to Heaven, and we do not have
to experience so much confusion because of the mind, not because of
the soul. So in order to be an enlightened ghost, so-called ghost, we
should be an enlightened human first, and then it's easier.
Q:
You told us previously about reincarnation, and that spirits can choose
if they will reincarnate or not. They choose freely. What, therefore,
is the law of karma and what are the lessons that we have to learn in
each incarnation?
M:
Actually,
we don't have to learn anything here. We just have to remember what
we already know. And about the law of karma, whatever we do in this
world will affect or come back to us, and some will follow us after
this physical life. Of course, if we are not enlightened, it will follow
us everywhere because the law of cause and effect is that whatever you
sow, so shall you reap. But sometimes the effects don't come quickly
enough before we die, so they are still there and we must of course
take care of that. At the time of death, the soul can choose to be reincarnated
wherever it wants and that always stands true. But the soul is all-knowledge
and all-justice, so if it knows that during the lifetime it has done
something that is not favorable for a higher dimension, then he will,
by himself, choose to be reincarnated wherever circumstances are suitable
to iron out this debt, or this obligation. That's why I said only enlightened
persons have a higher or lower choice, as they truly can make a choice
but unenlightened souls have not much choice.
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
Q:
Do You believe in the final judgment and the second coming of Jesus?
M:
The final judgment comes when we leave
this physical plane. At that time, all the things, bad or good, that
we have done in this life flash before us in what seems like seconds.
We will find ourselves standing as a judge of ourselves, and because
originally we all are God, we have to be responsible for whatever choices
we have or have not made during our existence. And as for the second
coming of Jesus, He comes all the time. He is within all of us, and
whenever we awaken this Christ power, that is the second coming of Jesus
Christ.
