CONVERSATION WITH LUCIFER BOOK III - страница 10

But then, some children suddenly start showing awareness. They begin to understand why they were confined by adults and gradually start exploring the world around them. They see the dangers that might be lurking. That’s when the next stage of maturity begins. This is the stage of being in a group, recognizing oneself as a part of the whole, and understanding oneself as both a part of the team and the team itself.

When each of you starts to understand that you are an individual part of humanity and can be independent of it, but at this stage, you fulfill common tasks and follow common rules that are not harmful but rather contribute to your development, complementing and educating you, then such a person can slowly be 'let out through the gate' beyond the fence of the 'kindergarten,' beyond the boundary of the world in which they reside.

Some of you have developed the notion that the planet is a prison. This is a distorted view. It’s not like that. It’s simply that care is being taken for you, for your safety. Of course, inside the 'kindergarten' fence, you play strange games. And your caretakers do not interfere with this and carefully ensure that no one causes significant harm to another. Those who fall ill are moved to isolation, and so on—everything follows the same script.

But when someone among you begins to show understanding, they start being taught about what lies beyond the 'kindergarten' gates—explained what laws operate there, how to navigate, and what to beware of. Gradually, you are allowed to take walks in the outside world, but under the supervision of a caretaker. After all, you do the same with your own children, yet you don’t call it a prison. And believe me, sometimes they think so too. Some of you may find this comparison offensive; you don’t want to remain in a kindergarten. But believe me, there’s no condescension here. Only care.

But then, what about the seven Kumaras that Sanat Kumara created: the Kumara of Suffering, the Kumara of Pain, the Kumara of Death, the Kumara of Judgment, the Kumara of Greed, and so on? It is written in the TAO that these are his inventions. Why did he do this, as the leader of our 'kindergarten'?

He spoke to you. He believed that such training programs would prepare you better. And that was his choice. He went through all of this with you.

But let’s return to you. So, some of you are beginning to realize yourselves as independent and are learning new qualities, qualities of a new level. This is what you call the fourth level. It is the awareness of oneself as part of the Whole and existing as a part within the Whole, consciously. With each new level, your degree of freedom increases. Because freedom is, above all, responsibility for your choices. Freedom of choice is the freedom to choose the consequences of your choice. Understand this and remember it. It’s important.

Until you realize that with every step, with every thought, you are choosing this or that consequence, which manifests in your reality and the reality of all humanity, you won’t be let out of the 'kindergarten' gate, which is essentially a playground.

One question keeps bothering me. When I spoke with El Morya, he admitted that we are all now energetically intertwined and can ascend only together. But we can also choose our own path, purely magnetic, and ascend separately. Besides, the TAO says that all the higher essences of our world, except for Christ, have ascended and continue to ascend through the energy of worship, which they receive from us. How would you comment on this?
