Especially would I have you know that any voice that holds out to you any way of gaining knowledge or power at a price other than through first earnestly seeking My Kingdom and living the life of My Son is the voice of self, no matter if spoken by those proclaimed to be great teachers, swamis, yogis, initiates, or masters, and no matter how much they charge for their teachings. For the Way unto Me cannot be found except as My Son Jesus taught and lived—the Way of loving service to others and the crucifixion of self.

Many have thought they heard My Voice spoken by such teachers, only to learn that my real Voice finally making itself heard in the heart clearly pointed out—that self, both within the teachers and within themselves, cared nothing for Me, but only for what it could gain for self, and that it was only intellectual knowledge that was being taught, and that it contained no spiritual life, and hence no real power came with it.

Finally, you can always tell when it is not My Voice that speaks; for whenever anything is said that is not wholly good, that is not spoken in love, that is not as you know God would say and inspire it, then you may know it is self, trying to keep your mind “separated” so it cannot hear My Voice, when I would lead it back to the consciousness of Me.
