The Dual Nature Of Man

dual nature.gif:

(Transcript: August 30th, 2004)

"You are confused about the True Nature of your Being, because you have a dual Nature.

We all know from our religious studies that God is Spirit, that God is pure Light, that God emanates Light, that God expresses things in Light.

The Christ is the person of Jesus who Manifested the Truth and the Reality of the Integration of God and Man in one physical, Spiritual Being.

It is the Prototype of Mankind.

It is the Hope of our Christian Faith.

It is the predominant, the foundational Belief, of what we believe is the Destiny of Mankind.

The Unification with God.

Or more accurately the re-Unification with God, without losing our individual personalities.

Like I said, before the tape started... God, the Perfect Being... you can't experience It unless you experience It.

You cannot describe It with words.

But this Essence of Light which we understand as God - the Cosmic Being - Emanated forth - and this is in many cultures - Emanated forth out of His Being a Multiplicity of Sparks of this Light and Created the Souls...

This is Light Energy and these Souls Manifested into a physical form, what we call the world, the physicality.

We have a dual Nature.

We have this Spark of the "Urseele", of the Original Soul of God, expressed into the Multiplicity of individual Souls expressing through the vitality of organic - or physicality - which we call physical life. Our physical mind. We have a Soul mind and we have a physical mind.

We have a dual Nature.

God spawned us so that we may experience multiplicity.

I mean, what good is it, if God were to Create the world and He sits down here in His rocking chair enjoying the scenery of Nature, the scenery of everything... What good is it for a God in the Person of One Soul.

He experiences it from One Dimension, One Perspective.

So He sits there in His rocking chair enjoying things.

That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that.

But you see, God is an intelligent Being, a tremendously innovative and intelligent Being - that's where we get most of our innovation >from - and He believed, it would be a much more profound experiment to send out Multiplicity of Himself.

This is where this desire to clone us comes from.

It comes from the Soul Memory, that God spawned us.

We think we want to replicate the process, but physical cloning is NOT Spiritual cloning.

He did NOT clone us.

It is a confusion.

What it is, is He - the only word I can really find is - it's like He Sneezed and Essences of His Spirit, of His Soul - very small Particles - went out - Pure Light - and They came to the world and became integrated into a physical form.

In the Biblical account, which is a very poetic and very beautiful account, He takes mud from the earth and moulds it into a physical form - we call it Man - it can also be Life generally. And he breathes into it His Own Spirit.

Now, whether He breathes Spirit into the whole of the world or into one physical man - the image is still appropriate. The image is beautiful. It embodies the Concept and the Intent of the Creator. And the Emanation of Intent of Life.

So Adam lies there... he awakens.

Consciousness awakens within a physical being and there is a duality there.

There is an awareness that one is physical and one is also Spiritual.

Every human being from childhood on is developing a relationship to this duality. When the child plays with his toys, his blocks, his building blocks, it's experiencing space and time from two perspectives: from a physical being and from a Spiritual being.

That's where the Creativity comes from. The Creativity comes from this beautiful interplay between the two aspects: the physicality and the Spirituality.

And I must say that is God's greatest work.

His greatest accomplishment is this form of expression.

So individuals have this capacity.

Now what do we talk about when we talk about a particular religious belief called Christianity, which is based on an historical figure called Jesus, the Christ. Jesus who became Christ. Jesus who Manifested the Christ. Jesus who is the first Man. That is also in the Bible, you hear Jesus is the Adam. He is the Manifestation of the Perfect Man Integrated with God. The Unification. The Prototype of the Unification.

So all of the struggles that mankind has, what we call the quest to become more perfect, is not about some fixed ideal, it is about the ability for the Spiritual Aspect of the duality of man learning to deal with the physical limitations of the physical man.

It is about mankind's struggle to live with the pragmatic challenges of a dual Nature.

What we have termed evil in human civilization is where the physicality of our humanity, the physicality of our being, brings with it challenges, intense challenges that our Spirituality has difficulty dealing with.

You see the Spirit does not have these problems from the Domain from where It came. We usually call It the Heavenly Abode. We do not have the intensity of feelings and emotions as pure Spirit in the Heavenly Abode.

The physicality brings with it a dimensionality which the Spirit finds... it is like driving an automobile for the first time - it takes some getting used to, to control that physicality of the automobile from within, behind the steering wheel.

We are all beings of pure Light, struggling with physical bodies and physicalities and principles of physicality which go beyond our capacities as Spirit, as Original Spiritual points of Light going out from the Divine Father, the Original Soul.

The struggle we have is to understand the Harmony between the physical and the Spiritual: How to achieve the Harmony in our expression?

This is the primary challenge of what we call Human Life.

There is no other challenge.

It is not about accumulating gold, diamonds, water rights, land rights. They have their place. But what it is - it's about dealing with our Humanity and our Spirituality in an appropriate balance.

Every human Soul knows, when they have achieved that balance.

They can feel it.

They have the capacity to sense on some deep visceral level, when they have achieved the appropriate balance. And when they are in violation of this balance, they feel it and they are discontented about it.

So the frustrations we feel, the frustrations - and this is what actually is manifesting in modern culture - the frustrations of not being able to find the so called 'sweet spot'.

Like in tennis, when you hit the ball perfectly in the middle of the racket, you can hear this sound the ball makes as it hits the racket - it is a very nice sound and the ball goes perfectly where one wants it to go and one is in one's top form of the game - one feels this synchronicity of perfection.

There is a 'sweet spot' - and we haven't been able to get to that 'sweet spot'.

Any golf player will tell you, when he is on top form, he feels great. When the swing is great. When the ball goes there where he intended it to go - it is a feeling of excellence.

And that's why we're here.

We are here, to get into the position of top form at our game of being human.

That means, the capacity to perfectly integrate and balance our Spirituality and our physicality.

We have been given some rules, some outward rules which we - sometimes we listen, sometimes we don't listen to the rules, because we want to experiment.

Sometimes our physicality is protesting like an infant about why we can't do certain things, shouldn't be permitted to do certain things. And then our Spirituality suffers.

And in other cases our Spirituality does things and our physicality suffers.

And this is where the misunderstanding comes from - what we call religious dogma.

Religious dogma comes out of a misunderstanding of what is the physical and what is the Spiritual necessity.

This is where we are at right now in our modern debate.

We saw recently that in Austria there have been some difficulties with regard to the seminary for priests where there have been homosexual practices revealed, discovered.

And the Catholic Church has closed the seminary. And I think - I heard it last night on the news - they dismissed the bishop who has been responsible for that.

So the Church is struggling as a Spiritual institution with the challenges of the physicality of its members, of its participants, its representatives.

Just like in normal society a husband and a wife struggles with the moral issues of loyalty to their partner - the physical thing.

The world says - is constantly tempting mankind - to sexually broaden their sphere of contact and the Moral and the Spiritual says no. One should be loyal to one partner.

And this incongruency between what the world says the physical issues are and what an inner Voice, what the Spirit says.

These incongruencies are there, in order to do something.

It is the process of Life and it is particularly intense at this time - not just within the Church or within traditional institutions but also in so called modern institutions - they are all facing the same moral dilemma - what I call consistency of practice.

People are making the rules as they go. And they are finding that everything is in dissolution.

No one knows, when they enter a marriage contract, how long that contract will last, because it is now implicitly inferred that the contract is a fluid and temporary legal state.

So what we have done is we have taken society to a point of absolute extremes, where we say everything is fluid, is in dissolution.

A physical analogy:

When water is frozen as ice it is very rigid. The molecules are moving, but they are very slow, the bonds are very fixed.

As it warms up - as they become more active - then they move to a liquid form. We experience as liquid - where they are more fluid and changing.

And then they can vaporize into gas - water vapor - and it is even more fluid.

So we have reached a certain point of what we call dissolution of physicality.

And it is an amazing thing, because we don't know why.

Why are we at a point, where all of our physical institutions are being challenged to such a degree that it is like we are all turning into gas - we are dissolving.

I personally believe the reason is, that we have made it so impossible for the Spiritual aspect of our Being, the Spiritual part of our Nature to express Itself the way it needs to be expressed, that It is unconsciously inciting this dissolution of physicality.

The Spirits of all of these people in the world, the Souls, the Light that Emanated out, wants to end the experiment of physical manifestation.

It wants to free Itself from all bonds.

It doesn't want to engage in any more contractual obligations.

This so called need to be free from all sorts of responsibilities is an amazing thing in our time and I was wondering: "Where does it come from?"

The Spirits want to remove all shackles, because They don't want to be here any more.

So what is driving the dissolution of human institutions and human societies, human civilization?

It is - I believe - Spiritually driven.

It is the partnership between the physicality and the Spirituality.

The Spirituality says: "Fuck-you physicality! Look what you have done to me. You have terrorized me for 1000s of years. You have created all sorts of farcical situations. You have violated my Spirituality and now I want out."

And this expresses itself in the breakdown in marriage.

The breakdown of family.

The breakdown of our legal institutions.

The breakdown of every aspect of what we call the physical world.

We can't trust anybody about anything because they cannot trust themselves. They don't know why they are driven to break their word or break their physical responsibilities.

Their Spirits want to be Free.

Their Spirits who were released into this experiment of physicality by the Manifestation of God's Will. The Purpose of the physicality was to experience the Multiplicity of our interactions.

You see the Buddhists understand when they meditated. They transcended what we call the worldly domain and they accessed a Visionary place, where they could see, that all the Souls are interconnected with this One Soul.

So they knew that all Life, all sentient Life, all Life actually, is interconnected to the Original Soul Purpose of God and that, when one individual Soul acting in its mental belief that it is individual disconnected from everything else against another individual - we are violating Oneself.

That's why the Buddhists primary dictate is benevolence, because they understand by acting non-benevolently towards another Life-Form, one is violating Oneself.

It just makes common sense.

Be careful how you deal with other Life, because you are violating your own Spirit!

That's the brilliance of the Buddhist philosophy. They understand where we came from. They also understand, that the physical mind has difficulties with the principle of the Multiplicity of Divine Will. Where God has no problem with it. As we know God is very creative.

So we are at this point of dissolution because the Spiritual part of the dual Nature wants to leave the physical world. Because the physical world is an impossible place for the Spirit to remain.

The physical world is such a violation against the Dignity of the Spirit, that it wants out.

That's why some of our young children commit suicide.

That's why so many... people say: "why is there such a high suicide rate amongst young people?"

The question is NOT: "Why there is such a high suicide rate among young people."

The question is: "Why aren't the old people just as sensible about the impossibility of life?"

The young people are not attached to the oil reserves, the gold, the diamonds. They are not addicted to the murdering and pillaging because they are still young formative beings in a very pure Spiritual form and they say: "NO! We are NOT going to prostitute ourselves, sell our Souls to the devil, to evil, for the purpose of exploiting others."

So they say: "Let's go!" They leave. They opt out.

Any responsible being, who cannot live with the terms, opts out.

That's why they go.

This is also where the incongruency of the 60-ies came up with.

Where they say: "Don't trust anybody over 30!"

Because they knew that the Spiritual integrity of a young person gets challenged by the pragmatic necessities of life, of providing for their family.

Once a person has a wife and kids, they are put under financial pressure. They are extorted, they are blackmailed, to either provide for their family or they starve.

They either do what the evil systems of the world want or they starve.

And so we have this dilemma.

That's why we have been operating out of this paradigm - what we call 'Fall From Grace' - since time immemorial.

Struggling to rediscover our Spiritual Purpose, the Spiritual side of our Nature, the Spiritual Purity and re-enter the Domain of the Divine, of God, which we call Eden. The original place of our birth, where we were pure Light and we began our journey as physical beings. Still innocent, still spiritually motivated, our physicality was not dominating us then.

But eventually the physicality starts dictating to the Spirituality the terms of our existence and we don't like that. That's our fall from Grace. When we let our minds dictate to our Spirits what is right, what we should do... we fall from Grace. This is a psychological - Spiritual process. And the process of mankind is nothing other than the reclamation of this Grace. Return to Eden. Return to the Domain of Paradise. Where the Spirit calls the shots.

That's why the re-Unification is the Process of the Human Spirit.

Enlightenment is the Total recognition of our fundamental Reality in the context of the larger Purpose which is God.

That's what all the religions know.

That's what our struggle is.

That's why we go to school.

We learn philosophy, we learn history, we learn all these things so that we get an idea about the pragmatic challenge of the morality of our Spiritual Essence over the practicality of our physicality.

That's why the churches always said - all religious authorities always said - it is a struggle between man's animal nature and his Divine Nature.

And what was it about the Christ - the Prototype?

He had the capacity to demonstrate what happens when the Spirituality leads the animality.

Then He can do the Miracles of the Loaves and Fishes.

He can heal all illnesses, because the Spirit puts everything back into Harmony on the physical level.

The demons that He cast out were potentialities of energy. Potentialities of energy, of mind... of all sorts of things... thoughts... that were incongruent with Divine Purpose.

And that's why they had to go.

Because when complete congruency Manifests between God in the Spirit and God in Man - which is nothing else than to say the Glorification of the Spirit in the physical form - healing is the natural consequence, the Glorification is the State of Being, and Paradise is the Manifestation of our social condition.

Why is this so difficult? We all know this. Everybody knows this - in every theoretical religious... we all studied this.

Like anybody who has ever baked a cake or baked something... or is interested in making fine cuisine... it is one thing reading the recipe in the cook book. It is another thing dealing with the practical aspects of bringing those ingredients together in a proper balance.

This is what we have.

We are basically dealing with a cook book here - of God Almighty.

Our religious philosophies are the cook book.

Our physical reality - how we deal with it, how we deal with our society, how we deal with each other - that's where the cooking meets the pot - that's where the recipe meets the physical reality.

And the results don't always come out the way we want it.

That's the nature of this place we call the world.

The results don't always turn out the way we intended.

That doesn't take anything away from the fundamental Purpose. That's why we learn. That's why we are here.

We are here to do it 'til we get it right - 'til we master it.

'Til we become the Glorification.

So okay, so we got it wrong a few times.

So we missed the target a few times.

So what?

Do we give up?

NO !

We continue with the Process of what many philosophers call the human condition in the Process of Perfection.

What is this Perfection ?

What is this Goal ?

The Goal, which I call the Moment of Grace, is where the pure Light of the Human Spirit which is the Divine Spirit of God Gracefully expresses itself through the physical Being without difficulties.

We know It in the Arts.

We know It when we see a ballet dancer after years of practice, doing a performance.

There is a Moment of Grace where the whole audience holds their breath, because they cannot believe such Grace being expressed in a physical form.

We know.

We recognize this Glorification.

We recognize this Ultimate Capacity of the Human Soul to express perfect Grace.

Not technical perfection. Not a monotone robotic... Not a zombie-like replica-table process.

But every time the performance is performed, it is a little bit different, because it is a unique Manifestation of Perfection.

We call that Grace.

No two snow flakes are the same.

No two performances of absolute Grace are the same.

Yet we know, that they are all Perfect.

This is what the Olympic Games were supposed to be.

To assist the movement from the physicality to the Spirituality.

Where half-gods or mortals transcended the steps of Mount Olympus to reach the Seat of Absolute Glorification, of becoming a full God.

A full God is someone Who achieves this State of Perfection.

We know what It is, when we achieve It.

We sense, we are moving in the direction of It, but our greatest poets have had difficulty to communicate It.

But it makes It no less Real. It is absolutely Real and It is the Purpose of mankind to achieve this Glorification.

It is difficult in the modern era to see something so simple, because we desecrate everything.

We desecrate all the temples to our former gods and in their place we put this cynical idea. It is not even an idea. It is just an attitude, it is cynicism.

We don't believe in anything any more.

Not in our own Greatness.

And not in the Greatness of anyone else.

In other words we are the gods that have fallen from Grace and we are lying there, pitying ourselves, feeling sorry for, making excuses for the fact that we are not on the top of the Mountain.

We don't have the emotional and the physical and the Spiritual capacities to pick ourselves up.

But of course we do!

It is just that when we are in the physical form and we experience failure of any kind - we feel it so intensely.

It is a shock to feel the fall from Grace so intensely.

You see mankind is a being in recovery from this initial fall from Grace which the Biblical story of Adam and Eve symbolizes - represents.

We could not believe, when we fell out of the nest - the Eagle's Nest - we didn't have the wings to fly yet.

We jumped out too early as Divine Beings and we fell out of the Tree down the Mountain-side, banging ourselves and we are a broken bird sitting on the ledge somewhere.

And we have to make up our mind.

Are we going to die ?

Are we going to give up ?

How the hell are we going to get back up to that Nest ?

So we are in a state of trauma. This is what it means to be human. We are in this state of trauma, because we feel our physicality.

Every nail nailed into Christ on the Cross, every thorn piercing His Body, every thorn on that Crown on His Head, these are the failures of mankind. These are the slings and arrows of mankind's failures to achieve his Godhood.

Now what is the Victory of Christ?

We know what It is.

It is the Divinity overcoming the limitations and the resistance of the physicality.

Everything said no, you cannot be a God!

The religious hierarchy of the Jewish people In Israel, in Jerusalem, said to Christ: "You cannot be a God. We won't permit you to be a God!"

The Roman Empire said: "You are not on the list of official gods. You cannot be a god. You are not on our official list of state sponsored gods."

And Christ said, "But I am a God!"

I mean, He never said it so directly, but they could not believe it.

How dare this person claim his Divinity? By what authority does this being claim his Divinity against our official doctrines, against our system of beliefs ?!

His Resurrection was The Testimony of His Authority, because He CAN!

We have to tell Mr. Clinton this!

Why did Christ Resurrect ?

Because He CAN!

Why did Christ achieve His Glorification ?

Because He COULD !

Why did He Ascend to Heaven to sit at the Right Hand of God Almighty ?

Because He COULD !

So we have a condition called anxiety and fear from Resurrection.

Admission of the Truth that our physicality is a secondary condition.

The primary condition, the Spiritual Truth is, that we are a Divine Being.

We come from the Gods - God Almighty.

And we will return to the Gods - God Almighty.

And it doesn't matter what mind-fuckers are telling us: "you cannot achieve your Glorification".

Because We CAN !

We WILL !

And We ARE !

Resurrection is a state of mind.

Christianity is a Testimony of this Truth.

We stand on the ground of Truth about this Reality, that we are saved from our physical limitations by the Spiritual Truth, that we are More than we thought we were.

Some people have difficulty overcoming their own mind - the limitations of their own mind.

And in the moment they pray to Christ for strength - when they invoke the Christ and they commit themselves to the Truth of this Being, then they become 'Born Again'.

Their Spirit again takes charge over their mind, over their physicality and the Reality of their Spiritual Nature becomes clear to them and the secondary manifestations of that Reality affects their relationships to others and to the world.

We are Spiritual Beings. That is the Truth. And if we haven't figured that one out yet, then we are really slow learners!

So we come from God as pure Light.

We go through the experience of a physical existence in order to re-Integrate with God and say: "Boy, that was an interesting experience"!

And everybody shares their experience in their unique personality because the Diversity of Life is a Miracle of God.

He could have Created a monotone Existence of only Himself. But instead He Created a Diversity, a Multiplicity in order to amplify the Glorification.

He could have made every snow flake a carbon-copy of each other.

He didn't.

He could have done anything - but He didn't. If you look at the Miracle of what we call Existence: The Miracle lies in its Multiplicity, its Diversity of Expression. No two beings are the same. They have their own unique Grace, Intelligence, Beauty.

So what are we waiting for ? Why are we always challenging the fundamental Truth about our Reality ? We know who we are ! We know who we are !

Yesterday the Olympic Games in Athens came to a close with a wonderful celebration and I could feel the Glorification, the Spiritual Manifestation.

It is an amazing thing what Humanity is capable of. The Greatness.

So why stop there?

Let's go all the way up the Mountain to the very Throne of God Almighty. The Great Unifier. Then recognize the Truth about ourselves and about God.

There is NO adversarial relationship between Man and God.

Some psychotic nuts have always been trying to protest, because they don't understand.

There is NO adversarial relationship.

We are competing against ourselves to become everything we can become.

God is NOT our adversary - HE IS OUR ADVOCATE.

He is cheering our development and our Ascension into our proper Domain of the perfect Being and our return to Eden. Our return to Paradise which is nothing other than the full Recognition of our True Nature in harmony with the Unified Spiritual Reality of God.

No religion on the face of the earth is against it. Because they all represent that struggle in their own way.

They tried to communicate it.

The practice of all religion is the practice of re-Unification.

The process of re-Unification.

Everyone knows that when we pass from this Life, we go to God. That's why all of our language talks about going to the Creator after Life. But what the re-Unification is about, is not waiting 'til we pass on. It is about manifesting It in the physical form, while we are in the physical form.

This is the Miracle of what the Christ did.

He did not wait 'til He passed on. He did it in the physical. And Christianity is an Affirmation of witnessing of this Reality, that we don't have to wait 'til the Soul passes on, to go back to God. We can Integrate while in the physical form.

This is the mission of the Avatar to manifest the Glorification of Human Spiritual Reality in the physical domain.

You don't have to wait 'til you die to go to Heaven, you can go to Heaven right now just in the process of letting the Truth of your Spiritual Nature direct your Life.

That's the meaning of Achievement.

That's the meaning of Grace.

That's the meaning of Harmony.

That's the meaning of Beauty.

And that's the meaning of your Reality.

Everyone knows, when they take a moment to contemplate their life, they know that they are more than they ever can imagine.

Thank you."
