“But I understand that the teachings of every prophet is based on the concept of fear. For example, they teach us to make merit regularly so that we can go to heaven, or to refrain from sinning to avoid hell,” I said.

“I’d like to justify for all the prophets. None of them ever taught those messages; they have always promoted love and knowledge in their teachings. What you have heard or seen has been distorted by the religious organisations that were established later to ensure their survival. Those establishments intended to serve as representatives of the prophets in guiding humans to become one with God, or to be able to liberate themselves from the cycle of reincarnation. They created the belief that people must be led exclusively by them. This part is crucial. When people believe that they have to rely on religions instead of relying on their own potential, they easily fall into a state of fear, the fear of not being able to liberate themselves which eventually leads to the loss of their power,” Kyran explained.

“Religions have strengthened their organisations by using fear as a strategy,” he added.

“I’m not sure how much I can understand this,” I admitted.

“So let’s say you own a car repair shop. You wouldn’t teach your customers how to fix the car themselves, would you?” Kyran asked.

“Because if you did, your business would be at risk. All you have to do is to make them believe that they have to rely on your mechanics always. Then your business can survive and be stable.”

“So, to ensure the survival of these religious organisations, their leaders had to distort the message of the prophets. Without telling anyone how to repair the car themselves, so to speak, they sowed fear among the non-believers that they would be labelled as heretics and go to hell if they didn’t follow the rules of that religion. Each establishment also built the concept that only their religion could lead the souls to find their way. This is another form of fear, the fear of not getting the rights to ascend and the fear of being called a heretic.”

“When your prophets were alive, they were in a similar situation like today. There were religious organisations that tried convincing people to rely on them, and they were just as powerful as those today. All the prophets have tried very hard to discard these false beliefs in those days by teaching people to depend on themselves until they finally succeeded.”

“Unfortunately, the successors of those prophets are now using their teachings to revert back to the past. History is repeating itself.”

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Each religion has to try to survive and last as long as possible, isn’t it?” I asked.

“That’s true, but no religion should survive on the basis of fear. Religion should help people gain knowledge and to ascend independently,” said Kyran.

“Even though the outcome is good, the course of action is wrong,” he emphasised.

“So, how should one gain knowledge for ascension?” I asked.

“Let’s evaluate them one by one,” Kyran said.

“There’re two ways to access knowledge. The first is to access external knowledge with our eyes, ears, nose, taste, and touch. However, there are many limitations using these approaches.”

“The second is to access knowledge from within, and this is what has been concealed or distorted. Because once you discover this, you can, figuratively speaking, repair your car yourself. Accessing knowledge using this method has no limitation. It does not depend on the conditions of space and time. This is how we access knowledge on Tuengra, and the key is humility,” Kyran paused.

I went silent.

“Don’t you want to ask how this is related to humility?” Kyran queried.

“No, because I know you’re going to explain it to me, anyway.”

“Humility here means to be truly humble, not only towards others, but also towards your higher self. Do you know that there’s another divine being living inside of us?”

“Yes, I know,” I answered.

“It’s the being who is always watching us. This being is happy when we do good things, and sad when we do bad things. This being always tells us what to do and guides us on our way. Yet, because we’re too proud of our consciousness and arrogant, we never listen to the being within us,” he explained.

Kyran continued, “We should be humble and ask the being every time we think or feel, or say or do anything, whether it is right or appropriate. For instance, if someone takes advantage of us and we ask our inner being what we should do, the response could be to forgive him. In another life, we might have offended that person before. But then our haughty consciousness will immediately oppose this response by saying that such a person has to be taught a lesson, otherwise he would become too arrogant.”

“You see, when you’re humble and listen to the first thought from your divine self, you’ll be enriched in love and forgiveness. The other thought from your consciousness, however, will struggle with its desire to win. This desire to win is a result of the desire for power. This desire for power is actually brought on by fear,” he paused before continuing.

“For this reason, being humble by accepting and listening to the divine self that lives within you is the key to access knowledge. This method, in some of your prophets’ teachings, is for one to be selfless and have no ego, in other words, to be humble.”

“Once you are able to access knowledge, a state which some people call ‘wisdom’, you will be required to accomplish other requirements because you have not reached that state of ascension yet,” Kyran explained further.

“To complete the whole process is like learning to be a mechanic because the only way to enter the state of ‘ascension’ is to start doing. And when you can do it, ascension will follow. If you understand the theory but never apply it, then your effort is wasted. You will never be able to repair a car by relying on your knowledge gathered. Even if you remember every single word in the repair manual and can recite every word of it, you will never reach the state of ‘ascension’ into a mechanic.”

“But if you succeed, you will no longer need to depend on car repair shops. True prophets always want to teach people to ‘repair’ things on their own. When one has learnt to ‘ascend’ and qualify as a mechanic, he or she should continue teaching others how to fix a car on their own, instead of establishing one’s own repair shop.”

“And it’s very easy. Of all the knowledge in the universe you need to gain, it’s love. And all you need to ‘do’ throughout your life is to manifest your love,” Kyran said and continued.

“Remember this: anything that is beyond the normality of human nature, you may assume it to be wrong but all we have to do is very simple. We don’t need to go on a fast, we don’t need to endure suffering. All we have to do is to love everything at the highest level.”

“I think to achieve the highest level of love is challenging and sounds impossible, especially to be able to love those whom we hate as if they were our own children who have wronged us,” I said.

Kyran responded, “And that’s the reason why we rarely find anyone who can raise his or her consciousness to the highest level of love.”

“An important quality for people who strive for success is patience. From a physical aspect, we call it patience, but from a mental aspect, we call it tolerance. Both of them have the same mechanism but they are demonstrated differently. Both combined, we call endurance. This quality, if you’ve noticed, existed in every great man and woman in the history of your world, whether it was someone who made an invention or discovered a new theory, or the prophets who encountered many challenging thoughts and emotions before becoming spiritual leaders. Every one of them developed the quality of endurance through the process of doing.”

“In simple words, the most important step in the act of doing is endurance,” Kyran concluded.

“So, practising perseverance also means tolerance?” I asked.

“It’s been documented in history that some of the prophets endured suffering to demonstrate their strong beliefs. But in the end, when they realised that suffering did not provide their expected deliverance, they gave up and went back to their normal life. One prophet, who found the middle way, also endured suffering to try and test the instructions of his master,” Kyran replied.

He went on, “The true meaning of endurance is to try to demonstrate love even to those who don’t seem to deserve love at all. We can easily love those who deserve it because there are strong reasons for us to do so. It may be because they’re pitiful or because they are our children or relatives. But for those who don’t deserve to be loved, like selfish people, for example, it would require a huge effort to direct our body and mind in giving them love. And the biggest challenge is to be able to express it naturally and with pure consciousness.”

“This is the meaning of purity: it has to happen before and after the process of doing.”

“What does that mean? Before and after what?” I asked.

“Before refers to love, expressed out of consciousness, that impels you to do things honestly and without expecting anything in return. It’s an action taken, knowing that it’s a good thing, and that’s why you decide to do it.”

“As for after, or the outcome of an action, refers to redemption. You eradicate all the karmic contract in every space and time. For example, the second you forgive a person who took advantage of you and love him unconditionally, you not only avoided causing suffering to that person, but also avoided creating hatred and resentment that would have bound both of you karmically. This way you don’t have to be reincarnate again with him in the future lives to resolve this issue.

At the same time, you had also cancelled out or redeem the existing karmic contracts you two had accumulated from the past lives. In conclusion, your action can purify the karma of your three lives, in the past, the present, and the future.”

“Wow! That sounds like a great deal!” I said, jokingly.

“This isn’t a joke, Tim, and it is important,” Kyran said with a serious voice. “These past prophets have made huge sacrifices and they have been reincarnated on Earth to liberate your people from this cycle of reincarnation for ages.”

“I understand,” I said, having regretted at the pun I tried to pull off earlier.

“If this process of showing pure love is applied with every challenge encountered in life, bad karma will gradually and entirely be eliminated. No further karma will arise because you have resolved it completely. Purity, in this context, means to be free of karma, and after that, the state of emptiness, or Sunyata as it’s also called, will materialise. The person who has achieved that state is considered free. According to the law, he or she need not stay in your world anymore and has the option to either remain there until the end of that life or to be re-born on Tuengra to appreciate this perfect world.”

“Living on Tuengra is blissful happiness. It’s a life free from anxiety and worry. The real heaven where only good things happen,” Kyran said, intending this to lead to another topic.
