True Wisdom is Driven by Love and the Christ Consciousness
In this post I am writing about the association between the 2nd ray of wisdom and love, following Master’s Lanto teachings, I intend to show that true wisdom is Driven by Love and the Christ Consciousness.
When I say «love» I don’t mean human love but divine love.[1] And the wisdom I am talking about is not the judgement of the intellectual mind but the vision of the Christ mind. Wisdom always expresses through love.
Now, a clear distinction is needed: judgement associated to human judgement gives false wisdom; only divine love- unconditional love- associated with Christ discernment, gives true wisdom.
The first created state of consciousness is Christ consciousness, since this is the original consciousness of the spiritual self.
The Christ consciousness doesn’t judge but, instead, gives us discernment. But when human beings descent into the separate mind, the ego took command, and the discernment was replaced by judgement of the duality consciousness that compares two extremes and chooses one as true and the other as false living in a permanent tension between true and false.
When human beings entered in duality, love also became a dualistic quality, creating the opposites “love-hate”. Human love is a perversion of divine love, just as the dualistic mind is a perversion of true wisdom. And in this way, what is called wisdom is no longer a harmonious combination between Christ consciousness and divine love.
The judgemental mind evaluates everything according to predefined standards. This brought the belief that there is only one «truth» and all other perspectives are false and opposite to what is called «true».
One of the effects of this is the epic mindset that believes it is justifiable to fight for that «absolute truth» and that everyone who doesn’t conform has no right to accept other perspectives and is absolutely wrong.
Division among people appeared too, as the distinction between the people with the «right» perspective and people with the wrong perspective. This generated all the behaviours of discrimination, separation, exclusion among people, placed at two extremes, along with the idea that the people with the «wrong perspective» have no right to express it.
But Wisdom always expresses itself through love, it is inseparable of Love. True wisdom doesn’t divide or separate people, doesn’t exclude people based on their beliefs or any predefined standards, doesn’t deprive people of their freedom nor tries to limit them in their possibilities by the mentality of «either you are with us, or you are against us».
In the words of Master Lanto:«Love does not judge. Divine Love does not judge, but human love is, indeed, entirely based on a judgment. »[2]
False Wisdom Seeks to control
We see on Earth how the judgemental separate mind has been using the false wisdom to control humanity, beginning by what have been happening in religion. We’ve seen how the Catholic church and its inquisition used what they called the «Bible’s truth» to control what people could think or accept as «true» imposing a general standard for all beliefs about life and about the world.
And they used torture and extreme cruelty to exercise that control, while claiming to do so in the name of the “salvation” of the ones they killed, through death at the stake or on the “wheel”, saying that they were doing this from love, the love of God, using pain to purify their souls.
So, they seemed to believe that divine love can express itself through excruciating pain and suffering. But can divine Love ever be synonymous of torture and terrible pain? Only to a distorted mind that can’t experience unconditional love.
The medieval history of religion of western societies is very illustrative of this false love and false wisdom, fruit of the association between human love and judgment, where there is no discernment and no real love.
Christ discernment and divine Love don’t use force to change anyone’s behaviour or human beliefs. True wisdom doesn’t go against anyone’s free will nor torture or kill anyone «for its own good».
If we open ourselves and focus on our heart, we can experience and know that the Christ mind, divine love, are at a much higher vibration then the mentality based on fixed standards and the illusion that there is on Earth some truth that is worth to dye or kill for.
What human love and human judgement want is to feel in control of their lives and take possession of things and persons they want for themselves. Once again, this comes from the ego’s need to feel safe, to feel in control. But this is not wisdom nor divine love.
Divine love is free, sets no conditions or limits. And this is not something the ego can fathom or understand. The ego can’t grasp wisdom. As Master Lanto explains to us: «What is true wisdom? I have said that the highest wisdom is the awareness that all life is one because everything is the Buddha Nature»[3]
It takes Christ discernment and unconditional love to entirely grasp the meaning behind these words. The Christ mind is the mediator by default of all creation, is union, is the experience of being one with all life.
But this experience is not possible if we see ourselves as separate beings, as «me» and «you» separated by what is mine and what is yours. True wisdom or enlightenment, as it has been described by the Budha, implies the spherical consciousness that the Masters have talked about, the consciousness that can feel oneness with all life, while also knowing life is individualized in many unique individuals.
We can’t completely grasp this, but we can feel, when we open to the Christ mind, a glimpse of this Alness or oneness, because we know that we are individualized beings, but we are not separated from other parts of life.
Everything is the Budha Nature
Master Jesus once said that as everything is created through the Christ mind, it is also created through the Budha Nature, the oneness pervading everything, with the «Buddha» being the alpha and the Christ being the «omega» aspect of the oneness in all life.
But life is not a fixed state or «perfect state» as it is seen by the dualistic mind that sees perfection as an absolute, as something that needs not and is not subject to change. There is a tradition on Earth of looking for «the ultimate state», the last stage of life.
But this is just an illusion, because the nature of life is transcendence, perpetual transcendence, the drive to become more than it was before.
In Master Lanto’s words: « You see, the Buddha Nature is constant change. The Buddha Nature is constant self-transcendence. The Buddha Nature never stands still. »[4]
Here is where on Earth philosophical traditions always have been confused, considering that everything that changes have no real istence. In fact, the opposite is true: everything that is fixed belongs to the illusions of “death consciousness” and has no real existence.
The truth is, we can’t define the Budha Nature and neither can we set rules and predefinitions about the truth or wisdom. Jumping out of the ego’s mindset of separation and grasp the oneness of all life, that is wisdom.
Wisdom is the process where we release ourselves from the external self and return to the Christ consciousness of the Conscious you; it is letting go of the illusions that form a veil concealing our true identity and transcend the mental box of the ego ‘s security.
Wisdom is to love something higher than the sense of security of the Ego, our divine identity, the I am Presence. It is to recognize that the I am Presence is not far away or alien to us, that we are our I am Presence.
Wisdom is to express the love coming from the I am Presence in us, so that there is the consciousness of abundance in this world of form, instead of the consciousness of lack, poverty and less, of the mortal identity.
