The key to liberation as we move along the path is total honesty, to be as honest as possible not only to other people but also to ourselves. If we are honest with ourselves and we feel angry it doesn't matter if you are the most advanced person in the universe, you still have to deal with the emotion, whatever it is.

It does not matter how advanced you think you are, you have to face the fact that this is what you feel. "To thy own self be true," said Shakespeare. If a person feels jealous, and this is a hard one for a lot people because I heard many people say, "I never feel jealous and I am beyond that." Believe me in the right circumstance these people will feel jealousy, and if they say they do feel jealous then they will be in a state of denial. So if the person feels jealous then simply admit it.

What you would do in this state of honesty is share your feelings with the other person. You would say, "Sweetheart that situation made me feel this way and it may be silly but that is how it made me feel." If you share that with a person in the right way then the he or she will understand and work with you so you do not feel that way. This is really important because total honesty is one of the main keys to liberation that will allow us to step along the path.

In a way perhaps the reason I ignored what I was supposed to do for so long is I did not examine my feelings on it with total honesty because it was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to be creative, write and do the spiritual work, and what I found when I got into this business and right now even though the business keeps me very busy, I have increased power so I still do the spiritual work as well as my business. I have been given increased strength so that I can do both. Eventually when I do not have to work on the business anymore, then I can have a focus on the spiritual work like I could have not done when I was younger. Every time we follow the voice of the soul there will always be a lot benefits involved with it.

Another thing that I have talked about that concerns many people is guilt. All the religions tend to induce guilt in people and they try to program it into them. What produces guilt is when there is an outside force that takes the place of God and that is what the Beast is in Revelation. The Beast in Revelation is an outside authority. There is a scripture that talks about the coming of the anti-Christ and says. "He will come in the temple of God shewing himself as God." Everybody thinks that this will be some guy that is bigger, tougher and meaner than Hitler, and he will show up in some temple and proclaim himself as god like the "Left Behind" series is teaching; and the born again people all teach this. That is not what it means. It means that the true anti-Christ is the person that becomes the voice of God on the outside to us. In other words, when the average person wants to know what God has to say he goes and asks some spiritual authority and that spiritual authority will say this is what God wants you to do. This is somebody on the outside taking the place of God showing himself as if he were God speaking to you the words of God with the authority of God.

You are not looking for the voice of God within but the voice of god without. Now when a person goes against the voice of god without he will feel guilt. Guilt is one of the most destructive things in the universe, because guilt is caused by accepting a god without. A man, woman, Bible or even a piece of paper, or a building, something without can represent God. If you cross it and go against it you violate its will, and when you violate that you will have guilt.

The way to eliminate guilt is to eliminate the authority on the outside and put it on the inside. The 144,000 that were redeemed from the power of the Beast are those that have the name of the Father in the forehead. In other words, those that can look within with the third eye so to speak and find God -- they are the ones who have escaped the power of the Beast and they have no guilt. The biblical scripture says, they are as virgins before the throne of God, and they are virgins before the throne of God because they have no guilt.

Now when I tell people that I have no guilt they think that my conscious must be seared with a hot iron, and I do not have a conscience. No, I have a conscience. When I do something wrong, I realize it is wrong and then I think that will just try not to make that mistake again.

This goes back to the definition of sin that we talked about earlier. Sin means to "miss the mark." If you are shooting an arrow at a target and you miss it then you do not feel guilty about it but, you think "I screwed up." If you are bowling and the ball rolls off into the gutter like what happens with Assaf all the time (chuckling) then you think, "Wow that is not too bright of me to do that; give me another ball!" You can't wait to throw that ball again so you can show everybody that you do not always throw a ball in the gutter. In either case you do not feel guilt over your mistake.

When you cross the voice of god from without then guilt is created and you experience shame, you feel like you are not worthy to move ahead and be loved by God and this guilt affects so many people. To release yourself from guilt, release yourself from every outer authority from being the voice of God, even me. It is possible that somebody might accept me as being in the place of God. My mission is not to be in the place of God but to stimulate the God within you. This is where the subtleties come in, in finding the truth about things, because if a person misunderstands the way I am teaching, then I could become a god to them so to speak. That would largely be their fault because that is not what I teach.

I teach everyone to listen to me and verify it from within. The priest, pastor, reverend, Mormon bishop and many spiritual leaders do not say, "Listen to me and then go verify it from within and if sounds right then do it." These people will likely say, "This is what the Bible says and this is what the word of God says so go and do it and if and if you don't do it you are going to go to hell."

Now these people that take the place of God are very subtle. I have talked to people quite a number of times that say they have guilt and they can't see where they have an outward authority that they are still holding on to. These outward authorities are very elusive because many of them can be traced back to an earlier life. There are lot of new agers I have met that think they have moved beyond this, but when you talk to them you will find that they still have guilt.

In other words there a lot of new agers that I have met and when you talk to them a bit you will find that they still have guilt, and when touch the areas of conversation where they have this guilt they are very sensitive about it. They are very likely to attack on you something or get irritable when you bring it up. You can't even hardly mention a religious word or the word Bible around them without the hair on their neck standing up. Yet they claim they have left all that behind. But, if they have such a powerful reaction then they have not left it all behind. They would like to leave it all behind, they want to, but many in the metaphysics world had a bad experience in their childhood with their parents, religion, preacher or friends when they were growing up, and they still have some reservations about what they are taught.

Deep within themselves they will think, "What if the standard religion is true, what if this spiritual path I am on really does lead me down to hell and there really is a lake of fire down there and I am going to get thrown in it?" They try to block this out of their minds but instead of blocking it out of their minds it has to be evaporated with soul contact.
