Practical Self-Mastery Course - CLASS 9: "The Hidden Liberation Through True Lent".

The Desert Revelation:

“Please observe! MY SIX WEEKS IN THE DESERT were a time of total cleansing of my human consciousness. Old attitudes, beliefs, and prejudices were dissolved”.

It is with this direct and straightforward call, taken from Letter 01 of the book "Letters of Christ", that we begin another stage of our journey in the Self-Mastery Course.

To dissolve and coagulate. This is the alchemical process that Sananda experienced while traversing his personal desert, leaving behind his old personality like a serpent shedding its old skin, to become a new being, or rather, to allow his TRUE CHRISTIC ESSENCE to emerge from the man he was until his baptism.

In the previous lesson, we understood that the “Kingdom of Heaven” is not a place, but a state of consciousness. Now we take a step further — because inevitably a question arises:

If the Kingdom is internal, then why has the path to it been associated with pain, sacrifice, and suffering throughout the centuries?

And this is exactly where Lent comes in.

Welcome. 🧙‍♀️

The alchemical laboratory remains open.

📕 Lent As It Was Taught.

Traditionally, Lent is presented as a period defined by:

◽ penance

◽ renunciation

◽ sacrifice

◽ preparation for Easter

Inspired by the 40 days that Jesus Christ (Sananda) spent in the desert, it was structured as a time of “self-denial,” often associated with pain as a form of purification.

But here we need to stop and observe clearly:

Did the original teaching really point to suffering, penance and sacrifice?

Or was there, once again, a distorted interpretation of the experience?

❌ The Collective Error: The Spiritualization of Suffering.

Throughout history, humanity has developed a recurring pattern: transforming processes of expansion into narratives of pain — not that it isn't painful to leave behind a personality that we have nurtured for decades, but it's not quite as religion has portrayed it, as happened with the narrative of the crucifixion itself, with the idea of ​​salvation.

And this also happened with Lent.

See what Sananda reveals in the Letters:

“For two thousand years, ‘Christians’ have been reliving the trauma of my crucifixion… This is being written on Good Friday, and I have come especially to speak about my crucifixion… I have come to say that you must abandon all the drama concerning that day… 

It is time for people to wake up from their long, long dream and understand existence as it really is — and the truth about my crucifixion, which has been hidden until this moment.

On Good Friday, year after year, throughout the centuries, all over the world, a traumatic and contaminated ‘state of consciousness’ has been created. This state is as far from the spiritual dimension of UNIVERSAL CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS as hell is from heaven”.

This statement directly breaks with a deeply ingrained structure: that spiritual elevation necessarily involves suffering.

But the truth is different.

Suffering does not purify.

Suffering imprisons when it is not understood, and here I want to remind you of what I brought up in the first lesson of this series of educational texts: everything that makes you feel love, harmony, and happiness comes from your essence, that is, from the Creative Source. Everything that makes you feel sadness, guilt, or any negative feeling derived from it is not part of true reality.

Therefore, what do we conclude when we think about the emotions that were widely disseminated during "Holy Week," as Sananda put it?

Reflect for yourself — and listen to your truth cry out.

💔 The Great Distortion: From the Desert to Guilt.

The desert experience — which gave rise to Lent — has been transformed, over time, into a process of guilt, self-punishment, deprivation without awareness of what is truly being sought by abstaining from certain habits, and symbolic repetition of pain and fear.

And this has generated a silent effect: a spirituality based on effort, burden and disconnection.

But when we look directly at the original teaching, we find something completely different.

❤️ The True Meaning of the 40 Days.

The number 40 does not appear by chance in the Christ-like experience with the desert.

In various traditions, it represents a complete cycle of transformation, such as:

◽ 40 days of preparation

◽ 40 days of purification

◽ 40 days of transition between states of consciousness

◽ 40 weeks of human gestation

All went through the same pattern:

isolation → dissolution → clarity → alignment

There is no suffering as an objective here.

There is transformation.

🧘‍♂️ What Really Happened in the Desert.

Now we return to the central point:

“MY SIX WEEKS IN THE DESERT were a time of total cleansing of my human consciousness. Old attitudes, beliefs, and prejudices were dissolved”.

Notice the depth of this.

The desert was not a space of pain, it was a space of cleansing, a period of dissolution of the ego.

It was not empty deprivation, it was liberation from a limited identity.

And this absolutely changes everything about the concept of Lent.

✨ The Dissolution of the Ego: The Key to Lent.

Throughout the 40 days, what occurs is not a struggle against the body or against life.

What occurs is:

◽ the dissolution of beliefs

◽ the weakening of identification with the ego

◽ the release of dense emotional patterns

◽ alignment with Loving Consciousness

Lent, in its essence, is not a religious ritual.

It is an internal process of disidentification of the human personality.

When Sananda recounts his desert experience in Letter 1, he makes a point of finding words that can express all his happiness, ecstasy, and harmony, due to experiencing a purification of consciousness in direct contact with Universal Consciousness. He even has difficulty describing this in a way that our human consciousness can understand, but he ends up summarizing the nature of this Loving Source as: Growth, Nourishment, Healing, Protection, Satisfaction of Needs, Work (Creation), Survival, Rhythm, and Law & Order.

Therefore, a practice that resembles what he experienced during that period should lead us to feel at least a little of this very nature within ourselves — since we are the individualized form of this greater Consciousness.

Incorporating attitudes that resemble this nature would then be the true Christ-like experience of Lent — as well as internalizing and allowing these emotions to emerge spontaneously within us, as he experienced.

🕊️ Liberation from Dogmas and the Truth About the Resurrection.

At this point, it is important to make room for an essential passage, presented in its entirety, taken from the Letters of Christ, which invites us to break with one of the greatest dogmas constructed over the centuries:

“It has been said that ‘my body rose from the dead.’ What an absurd story invented by the minds of those who did not know how to satisfactorily explain my death on the cross as a criminal! Why would I need an earthly body to continue existence in the other dimension? How could this ridiculous myth persist until the twenty-first century? This gives a measure of the lack of understanding of ‘Christians’: the fact that they have blindly accepted such dogma to this day.

Think about this carefully. Having been freed from an earthly body and having lived the experience of ecstasy and glorious enchantment that is the passage to a higher dimension of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS, why would I want to return to the earthly dimension and enter my body again? What use would that be to me in your world and in mine? While the ‘physical substance’ of My body during my life on Earth could be spiritualized when it is perfectly harmonized with the ‘Loving Consciousness Father’. Wouldn't my body be a hindrance and impediment to my later journeys in the higher Spiritual Realms?

Visible things are nothing more than a manifestation of specific vibrational frequencies in consciousness, which produce a ‘GLOW OF TINY PARTICLES’, creating an aspect of solid ‘matter’. Each visible substance possesses its own unique vibrational frequency. A change in the rate of vibrations produces a change in the appearance of ‘matter’. When the energies of consciousness change, so do the appearances of ‘matter’."

This passage is not here to confront beliefs, but to broaden perception.

It reveals that much of what has been held as absolute truth may, in reality, be a limited interpretation of spiritual experience.

And more than that: it shows that true transformation has never been in the body… but in consciousness.

🌈 “My Kingdom Is Not of This World”.

Another essential point needs to be understood:

“Why would I need an earthly body to continue my existence in the other dimension?”

This statement deconstructs not only the idea of ​​physical resurrection, but also the entire logic of future reward.

◽ The Kingdom does not come later.

◽ The Kingdom reveals itself when consciousness is purified.

◽ When the ego dissolves.

◽ When internal density is transmuted.

Sananda stated several times that his kingdom was not in this world, and that he did not come to govern, dominate, and reign like the famous emperors of the time. Yet, they insisted on trying to keep him “bound” to the need for a physical body to fulfill his mission, when in fact he had already been transiting in both the physical and energetic worlds for a long time — and as we see in his dialogue with Nicodemus, no one noticed.

🌟 The True Lent.

In light of this, we can finally understand that true Lent is not about giving up food, but about continuing to feed inner anger, shame or old grievances.

It's not about suffering, punishing oneself, or lamenting what Sananda went through in his transition beyond the physical world.

True Lent is a process of inner observation, a conscious dissolution of limiting patterns, a detachment from the false and manipulated identity of the external world, a reconnection with the Source of all that exists. It is a return to what is essential.

These "40 days" can happen at any time, whenever you decide or when you least expect it… but all of us, at some point, will have to cross our own desert to return to the "Father's house".

This is the only path that leads us to Him — or, better said, to ourselves.

💌 The Invitation.

Perhaps, for the first time, you are seeing clearly that the 40 days in the desert were not a path of suffering, but of freedom.

And that Lent, when understood in its essence, ceases to be a religious ritual and becomes a portal to self-mastery.

Therefore, only one invitation remains: dissolve what is not you so that what has always been... can emerge with awareness.

Let's continue. 🔥✨
