I AM Maitreya, having come to you.

Today I have come to reflect together with you and to hold spiritual discourse with you. I would like to appeal directly to your soul. I would like you to discard your thoughts and worries of the day at least for a while.

Your states of consciousness during the day are such that they create an insuperable barrier between our worlds.

How can I explain to you and how can I give you the state of consciousness that will enable you to understand me?

I have come with assurance that the time is ripe for a serious talk. And this talk is now necessary for those souls who had already been following the Path of the Ascended Masters but at some part of that Path started to experience doubts and uncertainty.

You are overwhelmed and bewildered by the glut of information scattered everywhere in your world. This information is about the many new ways through which you will miraculously transform yourselves and will become ready to live in the New World.

Remember the words of Jesus about the broad road that leads to hell and about the narrow gate that leads to the Kingdom of God.^[1]

Thrashing about and your effort to deceive the Divine Law and to take up a position inappropriate for you in the cosmic chain are wrong from the start and require immediate correction. You cannot occupy the energy level that does not conform with your consciousness. All that you should care about is the level of your consciousness. And the purity of your consciousness can neither be attained with the help of other people nor bought for money nor obtained at a seminar. Only you yourselves through your personal efforts are able to get free from those energies that hinder your progress along the path of evolution.

There are people among you who are convinced that they will manage to live through some transition and to continue their life of ease in the New World.

They suppose that they can perform the transition to the new level of evolution without giving up their old energies and habits. You cannot be operated on for alteration of your DNA or for removal of your karma. You yourselves must show your ability for further evolution with your own achievements and your own efforts. And this ability is not measured by the number of books you have read and seminars you have attended or the number of rosaries you have read and meditations you have practiced.

Your level of consciousness is determined by those Divine qualities that you acquire on your Path. It is impossible to play at Service, self-sacrifice, unselfishness, or Love.

You must master these qualities, and they must become inherent in you. It is exactly acquiring these qualities that enable you to alter the very structure of your DNA, the informational code that will allow you to exist in the world to come.

There were beings in the history of this universe who tried to deceive the Law and to ascend to the level inappropriate for them with the help of witchcraft, black magic, and different impure spiritual practices. And you know that none of those individuals managed to stay on the level inappropriate for them for any significant period of time.

You can jump from a skyscraper and believe you are flying for a few seconds, but these will just be moments that will end when you hit the ground.

In order to learn how to fly, you must alter your inner state of consciousness. Redirect the energy you waste during the day (on idle talk, entertainment, and watching TV) to work on your qualities. Do not think that any of the most perfect techniques and spiritual practices will have an effect on you if you are unable to overcome the resistance of the unreal part within you, if you are unable to come out of the shell of the human consciousness.

You should get rid of your carnal mind, cast off your human consciousness, just as a snake sheds its skin. You need to obtain a new consciousness. You will not be able to continue your evolution without this. Without this, your development as a species is not possible — your development as a man of reason to become a Divine man.

I have come to you today in order to direct the vector of your aspirations from the pursuit of external ways of obtaining merits to the way you are taught by the Ascended Masters: the attainment of inner merits. These are the riches that you cannot be deprived of. These are the riches that defy moth or rust.^[2] These are the riches that are your treasures in Heaven.

You must learn to switch from your illusory reality to the reality that is the Divine world.

It is as hard for you to keep your human attachments and to concurrently transit to the spiritual world as it is to sit between two chairs at the same time or hold two large watermelons in one hand.

The time is ripe for you to make a choice. Which of the two worlds are you choosing: your illusory world or the real world of God? The future of humanity and the path it will follow in the immediate future depend on how the majority of humans will answer this question.

I have given a very clear Teaching on the choice and the Path.

All you need is to understand this Teaching.

I wish you success on your Path!
