Do Not Tie Yourselves to People or Things

16. And if you desire something as much as your life, but it leads you away from the truth, let go of it, for it is better to enter life possessing the truth than to lose life and be cast into outer darkness. (Chap. 25:16)

Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:

What the person craves for himself personally concerns his person, his base ego. All this is binding. A binding means to be tied to people and things. The one who ties himself to people and things, that is, who is bound to something, reduces the flow of cosmic energies.

If you tie a person to yourself solely for the sake of having an advantage, then, with your self-will, you pursue interests which lead you away from the life in Me, the Christ. You thereby forsake the impersonal selfless life; you entangle yourself in wanting to possess, to be and to have, and impoverish the spiritual life in your inner being. If you do not desist in time from wanting to possess, to be and to have, you will lose everything one day.

If you do not recognize yourself in the effects – for example, through the loss of all your worldly goods or in illness, in misery and in suffering – and do not repent and make amends either, you will wander in the darkness as soul and as human being, because you were intent only on yourself, on your own personal well-being.

Therefore, recognize yourself each day anew, and actualize the laws of God on a daily basis, and give up wishing for something for the sake of your personal ego. Remain truthful – and thus, faithful to the law of God. Then you will enter the life that is your true being – and you will be rich in yourself, because you have opened heaven within you.

The truth that is impersonal cannot flow into a person who is not a vessel of the truth. Such a person is concerned only about himself and accumulates things only for himself. This behavior leads to his turning away from God’s eternally flowing power and toward the life of a “stagnant pool”: Only what is against the law flows into the pool and little flows out. This means that he will feel on his own body what he has accumulated in his stagnant pool.

On the other hand, the eternal truth flows into and through the person who is a vessel of the truth. He receives from God and gives from God, thus be­coming the wellspring of life for many. The cosmic energy of life, the source of all Being, flows through all forms of Being and through those people and souls who have turned toward God, that is, who have become the vessel of God.

Recognize: The eternally streaming power flows only through the person and the soul who do not accumulate for selfish purposes, but give selflessly. Only through the one who gives selflessly does the stream of God flow unceasingly! If God can flow unhindered through a person, then this person lives in the truth, in God, in the life that lasts eternally. Only such people give from Me, the life, because they are in Me, the life and the truth.
