PROBLEM OR SOLUTION
Just watched "Sicko" again and I believe firmly in a universal
healthcare system for human rights and that all services that have to do
with human rights should be a system that is non-profit and non-private
along with a universal tax system based on human and equal rights for
all human beings. Instead of focusing on the problem all the time, let us focus on the solution for all of us to have proper affordable health care and I believe this is one way to do it.
Write, email or call your congressman that you want a universal health care system and you are supporting HR 676. Do it now!
A universal tax system would be a equal rights system and a person could only be taxed not on personal income but what is left after all necessities are paid off. That would really give us tax relief.
I believe if we had one number say maybe 5% taxable income across the
board, it would be very beneficial for us all. The rich would pay more
because they have more and the poor would pay less because they would
have less. This is equitable for all. One for all and all for one! We are only as strong as our weakest link.
The problem is that we have a private government that is for the rich
instead a government for the people. We are the people. The government
should not be telling us what to do, we should be telling the
government what to do. That is a democracy as I see it. I believe the reason for all form of organized crime is really a model of our so called government machine. We do not want a government separate from the people, a separate power, we want the government to serve the people and not we serve the government. The same with all the laws they are here to serve the people not for us to serve the laws. Instead of voting in laws of freedom and equal rights we vote in law that establish bondage and servitude.
The health system that is being implemented at this time is only a temporary band aid that allows us some time to put into action a health system that is equal rights, non profit and affordable to every tax paying person.
Watch “Sicko” if you haven’t watched it, and if you have watch it again but with your heart of compassion and put your self in their place this could be you.
I am not telling you this so you can become more paranoid, but to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. We are all responsible in some what for what is happening in our world. It is time for generosity and loving kindness in all areas of our life expecially our minds because what comes into our experience comes through our minds and our thoughts that we put there. We are the vehicle for the Christ Consciousness for the planet and all sentient being. Our enlightenment is theirs as well because we are all one Self in Creator Mind.

The Way of the Heart Mastery Lesson 12
Now, we begin.
1 And again, greetings unto you, beloved and holy friends. 2. Once again, we come forth to abide with you. 3. Once again, we come forth to celebrate with you. 4. Once again, we come to abide with the Holy Mind that is the Sonship. 5. We come to abide with our brothers and sisters and we come as brothers and sisters. 6. And indeed, we come forth to abide in that process whereby the Sonship is remembering Itself as the Son - something to contemplate there. 7. Indeed, beloved friends, I am one who comes forth in this particular work, to be as the primary spokesman, through this, my beloved brother, to share that with you which already resides within you.
01:15
2 I come forth - we come forth - to join with you who have chosen to answer a certain call to bring forth a creative expression that can signify, to the world, the Truth that alone can set this world free. 2. Free of what? 3. Free of fear, and all of the children that fear begets: guilt, dishonesty, unworthiness, limitation, the need for suffering, judgment, and the list goes on and on.
02:03
3 But ultimately, when a gardener seeks to improve the quality of the soil from which that gardener would want his flowers to bloom forth, the gardener seeks not to look upon the effects of a weed, that is, that which is above the surface, but rather, makes haste and goes for the root. 2. And when the root has been pulled up, the effects of that weed can no more be seen.
02:45
4 Therefore, in Truth, we come, not to improve what you would be thinking of as the surface of the garden, the surface of the soil, but to strike at the root that resides deep within the mind, in the depth which I have called the heart, or the soul. 2. All that we endeavor to do, then, is designed to uproot the weed of fear that has made a home in the depth of your being.
03:25
5 And in this past year, as you would know time, we have endeavored to share with you what we have chosen to call, The Way of the Heart, which has required (for those of you that have truly participated in the devotion necessary to extract the wisdom which has been offered to you) - The Way of the Heart has been designed to bypass the cognitive, or thinking mind, and to strike at the roots of fear that abide in the depth of the mind, and therefore resides in a place that is, by and large, what you would call unconscious. 2. All that we do seeks to dissolve that root from the depth of your being.
04:27
6 We cannot do this to you; we can only do it with you. 2. For never can anything be forced upon the mind of the Son of God. 3. The Holy Spirit makes no effort to usurp, or take from you, your freedom. 4. For in your freedom, all power under Heaven and Earth resides. 5. And Grace does not descend until your Father knows that you are willing to prepare a place to receive it. 6. And this is why, in the process of healing and awakening, it is not necessary to seek for Love. 7. It is only necessary to prepare the place, the soil, by choosing to discover the obstacles to Love, which all come down to fear, and to be willing to loosen that root, that it might be removed from the garden of your consciousness.
05:48
7 And then, that Rain of Grace that purifies, transforms, awakens, and brings Christed Consciousness to the mind, can descend gently. 2. For when the rain falls upon hard ground, it strikes the soil and runs off, and the garden remains barren. 3. But the wise gardener, who has softened the soil, who has reached in and begun to pull up the roots, to sift the soil and make it soft and open and porous, with the intent of bringing forth a beautiful garden, will indeed, then, be assisted by the Rain of Grace that falls gently, without it being earned - 'tis given freely.
06:41
8 This year, Drops of Grace have been offered to you in each and every one of your months. 2. Some you have received: some you have not noticed. 3. Some are waiting to penetrate the deeper levels of your consciousness as you continue in your willingness to release fear. 4. And suddenly, a Pearl of Grace that has not yet been received, will sink deep. [Snaps fingers] 5. And the recognition will come, the awakening will come. 6. And suddenly you will find yourself saying, Wait a minute. This insight, this vision, this realization I've just had, it sounds like something that was on tape number one. Hmm. I think I'll go back and listen. Yes, there it is! I wonder why I didn't notice it the first time? 7. It is simply the natural process in which the Drops of Rain of Grace had not yet a place to be received.
07:55
9 Understand then, and this is of great importance as we move into this next year, that all that transpires from this point rests on how well the gardener has cultivated the soil with the tools that have been given. 2. If they have not been utilized, the soil remains hard, and the drops of rain run off and pool in the side of the garden, waiting for the soil to be properly prepared. 3. Of all of these, that which can continue, and will continue, to serve you in the greatest, will be the simple five-minute practice of abiding as Christ, and observing all that you see, all that you feel, all that you think, as though a perfectly Awakened Christ was the only One sitting in that chair.
09:06
10 I know that this sounds simplistic for you, but the way is easy and without effort.
2. Complexity is born of the world, and not from the Mind of God. 3. Therefore, continue well in that practice, and allow it to be the foundation from which soil is prepared, the roots of fear are loosened, even in ways that you cannot comprehend with the thinking mind.
4. For the roots of fear are not merely ideas. 5. They are the effects of ideas. 6. They've been allowed to penetrate deep into what you call the unconscious. 7. This is why The Way of Transformation - which is, by the way, the entitlement, the title, that we will give what is to be shared during your next calendar year - it is why The Way of Transformation requires not striving, but allowing: not thinking, but letting go . . . feeling; not doing, but trusting.
10:33
11 Those roots of fear must be dissolved at a level that is deeper than the conscious thinking mind can reach. 2. The mind was never designed to be your master, but to become aligned as a servant of the Awakened Heart, just like the flower blooms and sends forth its scent for all to see, from the depth of the soil that is unseen but has been well prepared, so that the only roots that gather nourishment from the soil are the roots of that which speaks of Life and beauty, not that which speaks of fear and unworthiness.
11:31
12 Seek you, then, to seek no more. 2. For the place is prepared for you, and you need only go to it. 3. Therefore, we will be cultivating more deeply the art of surrendering, resting ever more deeply into that place of silence which is the threshold to perfect Wisdom Divine. 4. The Way of the Heart is the preparation of the soil which allows The Way of Transformation to truly occur. 5. And transformation is not complete unless it envelops, encompasses, and is expressed through, the very life you know, right there on your speck of dust, whirling about one sun in a small part of one universe - your Earth, your time frame, your relationships, your experience, your life as you know it, as you live it, as you breathe it, as you feel it!
13:06
13 So, to many of you that are listening (and the breath is beginning to stop), let the breath flow and realize that, with your grand technologies, you have the freedom to go back and see if there is anything you missed. 2. As you do that, do it from a place of Christedness: I am that one choosing to enter The Way of Transformation whereby human consciousness, the human lived experience, becomes the living expression, the fruit which has sprung forth from the soil in which the root of Grace and of Love and of healing has been well planted.
3. Not from the perspective that you are doing something amiss, but out of the desire to be the master gardener, who brings forth that fruit which extends beauty and the scent of joy for all to be received, for all to see, for all to marvel at.
14:35
14 And yet, that beauty that springs forth from the gardener's beautiful garden does not build up the ego of the master gardener, for a master gardener knows that he or she has only been the keeper of the soil. 2. But the magic that brings forth the flower is not his or her possession, it is merely that which you have been given stewardship over: consciousness.
3. And consciousness is the gift of Life, streaming forth from the Mind of God. 4. Your mind, then, is the soil of the garden. 5. And all awakening, and all transformation, occurs nowhere save in that garden.
15:36
15 And right away, some of you are still seeking to understand the mind by seeing it as something that is locked inside the shape of your skull, and is somehow co-habitating with what you call the gray matter of the brain. 2. Rest assured, your mind is unlimited forever.
3. And the body that sits in the chair, in your five minute exercise, is as a drop of foam being expressed at the slightest tip of one wave in an infinite ocean. 4. And that ocean is itself within the unlimited expanse of your Mind. 5. You are Consciousness as such - Pure Spirit!
16:42
16 The only question, then, is: Are you willing to allow that drop of foam to be transformed into that which fully and always expresses only the Love of God, even though that expression is still temporary because the body has arisen in the field of time and disappears in the field of time? 2. Are you willing to say, "What the heck!" and allow that Love to be as fully embodied as it is possible for it to be, for the split second that the body is in this world?
17:27
17 For rest assured, to the degree that you turn your attention to expressing mastery, which is the effect of The Way of Transformation in this world, in this time, in this little tiny moment - to the degree that you do that, to the degree that you use time wisely to be the embodied Christ, rest assured that when the body drops away, and it veils from you no longer the magnificence of the Light you are, the Light will not be blinding to you. 2. And you will not contract in fear. 3. You'll merely let this world go, gently, and as easily as a child has put away a toy that has been outgrown, because its usefulness is complete. 4. All that you see - the body, your relationships, your devices, your stars and your winds and your waters - will eventually be put aside by you, not out of denial, but simply out of recognizing that their usefulness is over.
18:58
18 Indeed, beloved friends, as we then come to the completion of this one brief year together, look well to see that no Drops of Grace have been ignored. 2. Open the heart ever more deeply. 3. Allow those pearls, those Drops of Rain, of Grace, to penetrate ever more deeply, not just as ideas in the thinking mind, but as feelings in the cells of the body. 4. Let it create for you a sweetness in the flow of breath, a sensitivity in the way your foot rests upon the soil of the Earth with each step. 5. Let it begin to transform the way in which you rest your hand upon the shoulder of your brother or sister. 6. Allow that sweetness to permeate your gaze as you look upon another - seeing the Christ within them that is growing into a beautiful flower whose scent and beauty will be as a blessing to many. 7. For there is no one among you who is not the evolving Christ. 8. And remember always that what you see is what you get, in the same way that as you teach, you learn.
20:48
19 Look well, then, and ask yourself this: Who do I know in my existence whom I have judged, and locked into a certain box, and I have decided that is all they are? 2. There you will find a fruitful meditation for the remainder of your time until we begin that which will be called The Way of Transformation. 3. In other words, you have about thirty days to take the time, and use it wisely, to allow the names, the images, the faces of those that you've done that to, to let them come back to you, to say: You know, mother, father, ex-mate - whatever it is - I get it. I've placed you in a box and thrown away the key. You're stuck, so I have said. 4 And now, I release you, that I might be released.
22:00
20 And contemplate their image. 2. Allow the memories of the experiences you have shared with them to come back. 3. If there are feelings, by all means, let yourself feel them. 4. Gaze upon them, in your mind, until you feel that sweetness that dissolves the imprisonment into which you've placed them. 5. For as that imprisonment begins to melt, you will sense and know that your freedom is blossoming.
22:32
21 You cannot take fear into Love. 2. You cannot take judgment into forgiveness. 3. You cannot take limitation into unlimitedness. 4. These things must be released at the level in which they were first created. 5. Therefore, make note that this practice should not be overlooked. 6. Give yourself thirty days with the goal to truly go back and - shall we say - mop up any forgiveness or releasing that you need yet to do. 7. Don't let the mind say, I don't know if I did that well enough. 8. For understand, it is the Comforter that releases you and the other, through your willingness to allow it to occur.
23:36
22 Now there are some effects. 2. This will mean that when you've truly done that, never again do you have any justification or excuse for attaching any experience you have had, any feelings you have ever felt - shall we say, to the hook on the side of their imprisonment that you've placed them in. 3. Often, the human mind, the egoic mind, wants to hang the coat of its judgment on the hook just outside the bars in which you have locked someone: That which I have experienced is the result of my father's alcoholism. That which I have experienced in life is the result of my mother having forty thousand affairs a week. That which I have experienced is the result of my business partner who has stolen my golden coins. - and all of the rest. That which has caused my suffering is the result of the position of the stars in the sky when I chose incarnation. 4. If only they would have gotten it right, I would be okay.
24:53
23 It is time, fully, as we conclude this year of The Way of the Heart (and to those who will be concluding it many years hence). 2. I say unto you, do not enter The Way of Transformation until you've truly and fully satisfied your awareness that you are not clinging to even the subtlest iota of perception that, in any way, you are a victim of the world you see. 3. Nothing has been caused by your relationships. 4. All of them have merely shown you what you have already decided will be true. 5. The world, then, is not the cause of anything. 6. You merely see what you have used the freedom of your consciousness to concoct about yourself.
26:05
24 Lack is not caused by taxation. 2. Taxation is caused by the decision to need to believe that there is a power outside of yourself that needs all of your energy. 3. Government does not cause you to be subservient. 4. Your sense of being subservient, guilt ridden, weak, and limited is what births the idea of government. 5. And then some of you, as loving brothers and sisters, say: Well, I'll play that part. 6. And they become your politicians that, pardon the language, create the "pissing off" feeling that you have.
26:50
25 The world is uncaused by anything, save the choices you have made as a free consciousness. 2. You've concocted the thought, immersed yourself in that which reflects back to you what you have already decided to believe. 3. This means that The Way of Transformation is that way in which one becomes empowered, in every moment, to become fully responsible for clearly deciding what they will see, and that they will not settle for anything less. 4. The better you get at this, the quicker it happens. 5. Until one reaches the point where miracles occur.
27:50
26 And yet, they are only miraculous to those that do not understand how consciousness works. 2. And you can achieve that place in which you hold out the palm of the hand and desire the sweetest tasting apple that has ever been created, and it will, literally, appear in the palm of your hand. 3. Of course, at that point, you will be well beyond any need, whatsoever, to even hold the thought of requiring physical form.
28:30
27 You will begin, then, to get a sense of your mastery by being able to look at the world you are seeing and observing clearly what's been changing in it, and how quickly and effortlessly that which the heart truly desires, because it's in alignment with the Mind of God, becomes manifested, effortlessly. 2. When the gap between the pure desire and the manifested reflection of it is smaller and smaller and smaller, you will literally sense in the feeling body that mastery is growing, and that you are merely a Child of God playing, without ceasing, in the sandbox of all possibilities called the Mind . . . and that there is, literally, nothing out there that is solid, nothing out there that is unrelated to you.
29:45
28 So! That's where we're going, if you wish to come along on the journey, if you are willing to truly become committed to uprooting every root of fear that has taken hold within the depth of the mind that has been rendered unconsciousness because of your hatred of yourself. 2. It is called the separation from God. 3. And therefore, because it has become unconscious, it has ruled you. 4. Time to release the un-rule-able, by allowing that alone which can uproot the root of fear to come and take up its rightful place within you: Christ-Mindedness.
30:43
29 So! You have your homework before you, then. Go within and ask: When that third tape came and I listened to it, but I was trying to watch the game of the football on the television, I wonder if I missed something? Hmm. 2 When I listened to tape number seven, but was on the way to having the dinner date with that new body that looked so enticing to me, did I really sit with it and extract all of the pearls that were offered? 3. Perhaps I will go back and really set aside an hour in which I deliberately set the world aside and - what you do when you call it the "hanging on every word."
31:45
30 And yet, with a relaxed body and a soft breath and a non-grasping mind, be you therefore like a sponge that allows the raindrops to be absorbed into the self, and that is all. 2. Knowledge is not a cognitive struggle. 3. It is not the arranging of ideas in some order that satisfies the thinking mind. 4. Knowledge is the receiving of a vibration that begins to soften the soil of the heart and dissolves the root of fear from your being. 5. Knowledge is that which is the result of the transformation of the garden that you have been given and entrusted with - the field of mind that is you. 6. And that mind pervades the body. 7. It pervades the space around you and melds and dances with other infinite webs of relationship called other minds - energy dancing into energy, unlimited forever, out of which all things of time are birthed and pass away.
33:11
31 So, you see, where I abide is everywhere at once. 2. And so do you; you simply don't know it yet. 3. I abide with an infinite array of friends who have realized the Truth and have been set free. 4. They are infinitely creating, without ceasing, that which extends their treasure, which is the good, the holy, and the beautiful. 5. Many have given you images of choirs of angels singing the praises of God. 6. It's the same thing.
34:03
32 For when extension of joy becomes free to express only the good, the holy, and the beautiful, it is like a vibration of many notes, a choir of creative consciousnesses, sparks of divinity, who abide in perfect unlimitedness and know it, and ceaselessly extend their deepest bliss by allowing the good and the holy and the beautiful to flow through them from the infinite, mysterious, ungraspable, uncontainable Mind That Is - God - as the sunlight of the sun creates and streams through many sunbeams that extend out to the far reaches of your universe as light, out of which planets are birthed, and animals and water and trees and birds and man.
35:10
33 Imagine, then, that that is your destiny, to take up your rightful place beside me, to join your brothers and sisters in infinite and perfect creativity, like a harp player would ceaselessly run the fingers across the strings, creating the most beautiful notes. 2. And the combinations never cease. 3. And in every moment, you experience the fruit of the flowers springing forth from the garden that you have well prepared to receive the Rain of Grace - evermore, evermore, evermore, the good, the holy, and the beautiful flowing through your unobstructed mind that rests in perfect marriage, or union, with That which is your Creator, your Source.
36:20
34 Not a bad way to spend eternity! 2. But if you look ahead, and feel that there is a distance between where you are and where that reality is, you will miss the opportunities required, right where you are, to practice where you're going, by being it now. 3. You have heard it said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. 4. And the beginning is every bit as important as the end. 5. For in the beginning, the end is already present. 6. The Way of Transformation, then, asks you to truly become present where you are, to deliberately and consciously cultivate, with every thought and every breath, the willingness necessary that allows the root of fear to be dissolved, so that the good, and the holy, and the beautiful is all that emanates from you, like a beacon being sent out to creation around you.
37:54
35 Do not delay. 2. Do not waste time. 3. Time can, indeed, be wasted. 4. But listen well, for time can also waste. 5. You have a saying we would perceive in many of your silly little movies, where someone gets "wasted." I'll go and waste Charlie. 6. How many times have you been the mafia leader that has said to yourself, Well, I think I'll just waste myself? 7. How many ways have you gone unconscious? 8. How many ways have you numbed your feelings? 9. How many ways have you judged your brother or sister? 10. How many ways have you decided to hold onto thoughts that say, I could never do that. What's the point? It's a waste. 11. Oh, yes! 12. You just put a gun to your head and pulled the trigger.
13. You've wasted yourself by wasting time.
39:04
36 Every moment is as a doorway through which the good, and the holy, and the beautiful can be expressed, the cultivation of the consciousness through which the power to do so grows. 2. Oh, beloved friends, those moments of your time are very precious! 3. Do not look out upon the world and go, Well, what the heck, it's just the same old world.
4. Remember, then, as you begin to come to the completion of this year's Way of the Heart, that what you see outside of you is only the reflection of what you have allowed to live within you.
40:05
37 And simply ask: Is this what I wish to continue? What do I truly want? What is this, my very consciousness, for? What do I commit myself to? What do I say I believe? Where do I freely choose to place the power of valuation? 2. For what you value, you experience [snaps fingers] immediately. 3. And the world will bow down and say, Very well. You have let us know what you value. We will mirror it back to you, because we love you, because we're a part of you. And heaven forbid that we would take away your free will.
41:05
38 So if you value hopelessness, the world will be a hopeless place. 2. If you value lack of golden coins, you will continue to see lack of golden coins - flow of energy is all that means. 3. If you value loneliness, you will continue to be alone. 4. If you value the right to be in judgment of another, you will experience the fruit of separation.
41:35
39 If you value sweetness, sweetness will come. 2. If you value receiving Love - listen to this carefully - if you value receiving Love, the world will begin to show up at your doorstep in completely different embodiments. 3. Different vibrations, different thought patterns will be mirrored back to you that let you receive Love. 4. For nothing can be received until the place is prepared for it to enter. 5. And you can only give what you have been willing to receive. 6. If you receive a drop of water into your glass, that is all that you can give to another. 7. But he that receives all, gives all. 8. And he that gives all, receives tenfold more.
42:41
40 So, it has been a good year. 2. And we have watched with great amusement, at times, but always great compassion, and always perfect patience, and always perfect Love. 2. We have called out to you across space and time, and if you have heard the call, the connection, the relationship with us is already established. 3. There’s been no bridge to cross, merely the willingness to receive what is true: Jeshua is available for me always. Mary is available for me always. 4. The one you would call as my friend, as Germain, is available for you always. 5. The entire family, lineage, of masters that have sought through time to create a frequency and a vibration that can dissolve the effects of the negative thinking that you have extended out of your mind, that creates like the smoke and the veil around you - to dissolve that - all of us are available to you, and our number is legion!
44:01
41 Rest assured, you are not alone. 2. And in any moment, you need only call upon me, and I am with you. 3. And I do not come alone! 4. For some of you, then, we would highly suggest that in those moments when you feel like you need a little help, when fear seems to be coming up but you know you must go ahead, whether it be to spend golden coins to go visit some teacher, whether it be to tithe to some church, whatever it be, whatever you think you're fearing, simply say: Legions of angels and masters and friends, whose number is infinite beyond comprehension, you who are sent directly of God to assist me over the ditch, come now, because I declare it and I receive it. 5. And therefore it IS!
45:04
42 And then take the step that is necessary to take. 2. It will not be your imagination.
3. We will be with you. 4. And the perfect end is certain. 5. Fear is nothing more than the illusion you have chosen to value in order to experience what it's like to feel separate from Love. 6. That's all. 7. You merely waved your cosmic magic wand and said: Let there be fear so I can experience it. 8. That's all.
45:53
43 We love you. 2. Beyond your present comprehension, we love you. 3. Beyond all comprehension, even at what you might perceive to be our level of functioning, is the presence of God's Love, which we seek to merely pour forth to you, that by giving, we continually receive. 4. You see, the Laws of Consciousness work for us just like they work for you! 5. We're just more aware of them, that's all.
46:40
44 That Love which God Is is incomprehensible forever! 2. The Sunbeam can never comprehend the Sun. 3. I am a Sunbeam to that Sun. 4. You are a Sunbeam to that Sun.
5. We are therefore made of One Substance, and that Substance alone sustains us throughout eternity. 6. And the greatest of joys is to surrender fully into allowing That Light to light your way without ceasing.
47:43
45 And she that releases the world, embraces the Creator. 2. And he that releases fear, remembers Love. 3. She that embodies forgiveness, lives at peace. 4. And he that relinquishes control, knows perfect trust. 5. And that Awakened Christ that has surrendered the knot of fear, called "I," rests in unlimitedness forever, in perfect communion with all of Creation. 6. And that union never ceases. 7. It merely expands and extends as Life comes forth, Creation comes forth, extending the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
48:53
46 A flower that blooms in the spring for a day is the good, the holy, and the beautiful. 2. The bird that alights upon your fence and sings its morning song has come forth from that infinite perfect Sun. 3. And its notes extend the joy of the Son of God. 4. The smile upon one of your brothers and sisters, who has received a Pearl of Grace through you, is Creation Itself and is the presencing of the good, the holy, and the beautiful. 5. The rays of sunlight that dance upon the oceans of this world, creatively sing forth the good, the holy and the beautiful. 6. Every loving thought that you allow to be cultivated in the garden of your own mind extends the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
50:13
47 Therefore, sing that song without ceasing. 2. And be willing, as we close this year, to celebrate your willingness to embrace, with perfect deliberateness, your creativity and the power you have, the dominion over that which is planted in the soil of your mind. 3. Prepare that soil well as you complete this year, that the Pearls of Grace might bring you in to The Way of Transformation.
51:00
48 And with that, beloved friends, by the time you hear this you will have celebrated your birth date as those sunbeams which are expressed through these stories of the birth of Christ into the world. 2. Seeming that it occurred two thousand years ago? 3. For me. 4. Is it not time now for you to let that same birthing be fully completed in you?
51:45
49 Therefore, we bring this message to a close, for now. 2. Know that it has been our honor and our joy to abide with you. 3. And there is a whole host of beings encircling you every moment you remember that you have chosen to answer a call that can be traced to the very Mind of God. 3. Who has reached out to call His Creation, you, back to Himself, so that you can deliberately extend Love without ceasing.
52:33
50 Yes, we will have that which is called the question/answer period. 2. But for now, we bid you peace. 3. We give you Love. 4. We hold you with perfect patience, knowing the Truth that is true, alone, about you. 5. And we will never leave you.
Peace, then, be unto you always. Amen.

53:15
51 Jeshua we have some questions that came up at the Christmas celebration. 2. The first one is, On the day of your crucifixion, it was told that you spoke the words, Father, why hast Thou forsaken me? Can you elaborate on that?
53:42
52 A: That is always the proper question. 2. First, I have, indeed, given forth this answer to a certain one that you're aware of. 3. We would highly suggest that you merely obtain that answer, for it was not given to be kept and held in privacy. 4. Now, we would amend it by saying that I've felt guilty about that statement ever since. [Laughter]
54:13
53 Beloved friend, if I have not touched every kernel of humanity and the experience of it that you have known, it is useless for you to listen to me. 2. And I have nothing to offer you. 3. Therefore, to have come into your world and to have, shall we say, made myself impervious to pain, doubt, guilt, tears, laughter, anger, you name it - yes, even lust - to have done that would have rendered my relationship with you meaningless.
55:06
54 That is what we'll give as an amendment, a clarification, a driving home a very important point that can then be amended or added to the answer that you will extract, that has already been given. 2. Does that make sense for you?
55:25
55 It is a very good question, but in the end, bring it around a little further and ask of yourself: Why have I said, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" Hmm 2. Something to be pondered.
55:53
56 Another question is, There seem to be many, many women who tap into memories and experiences as being Mary Magdalene. 2. Can you talk about that, or the fragmentation of that one soul?
56:13
57 Beloved friend, we would suggest here there are many in what you call the male body that also hold secretly that very same thing, a little more deeply, because they would perceive that it would truly be seen or perceived as insanity. 2. Well, since I only have this kind of apparatus . . . what you call the plumbing and that which helps to - in the procreation process of the body, since it is of a certain type, surely I could not possibly have ever known incarnation in any other kind of form. 3. So, if I say to another "I believe I've tapped into being - having been - Mary, the one that you speak of," but then I would certainly be laughed at. 4. Because, after all, my chest has too much hair on it. 5. But no, I don't believe I'm just the body! [Laughter]
57:12
58 Now, what occurs? 2. In the beginning, Mind is One. 3. You - we speak to all you's - were That Mind. 4. A dream was dreamt in which fragmentation seems to have occurred.
5. In that fragmentation, it is as though many individual Points of Light, Souls, Sparks of Divinity, call yourself whatever you want, call yourself a Burp in the Mind of God . . . it doesn't matter. 6. That is the result of the dream of separation, which, in Reality, never occurred.
58:14
59 It does rather boggle the mind - thank God for that! 2. In that process, many worlds have been birthed, and continue to be birthed, by Mind as It perceives Itself as fragmented. 3. In one tiny, tiny, tiny speck of dust or speck of Light, a world was birthed that you call the Earth, and all life forms with it. 4. And in that tiny speck, a time frame was evolved or created in which human bodies were given names. 5. And minds believe themselves to be, much as you still do yet today, that you are somehow something other than the one who sits apart or across from you, just because there's a body that creates the perception that there's a distance from you.
59:15
60 One such very temporary illusory fragmentation is That One known as Mary of Magdalene, Mary of Magdala. 2. Within that dream, one emerged known as Jeshua ben Joseph. 3. And in the process of that expression of that dream, these two, shall we say, looked upon each other and went, Oh, my goodness! How sweet it is! 4. That is, as souls, as yet still parts of that dream - it's not that we're from someplace higher than you. 5. We're all in it together, since Mind is One.
01:00:04
61 In that dream, there was relationship, 2000 years ago in embodied form, between two Sparks of the same Mind, manifesting as individualized consciousness. 2. One is called Jeshua, one is called Mary. 3. And a rather nice friendship evolved in which one seemed to serve as the teacher and the savior, and the healer of the other, who then, in turn, served as supporter, healer and awakener of the other.
01:00:41
62 Now here's the point: That individualized focus of Light lives within everyone.
2. How could it be other than that? 3. Just as I, as an individualized aspect of the dream, abide wholly in everyone. 4. You, again speaking to all of you, could not begin to recognize me as Jeshua ben Joseph, that individualized Spark of Divinity that somehow got its "stuff" cleared up enough to remember the Truth and let it shine through. 5. You could not know me or remember me, if I was not you. 6. It takes One to recognize One.
01:01:45
63 So when you approach the question of Mary Magdalene from the perspective that there is something separate from yourself to begin with, you'll end up with all kinds of fantastic perceptions and philosophies. 2. Now, within the dream, That One, who's really you, experienced a process of healing and awakening, a transformation, a healing of the heart, experienced relationship with me and many others, experienced passion and sensuality - what you call the little sparks that excite the cells. 3. When This One died - and death is an illusion - that crystallized contraction of energy has, in itself, never incarnated again.
01:02:40
64 However, it has - in a sense, you could perceive it this way - extended or radiated aspects or strands of Light of its own being that have made a home in other individualized body-minds. 2. And therefore, in the process of healing and awakening, This One needs to be looked upon as a symbol of an aspect of the part of consciousness that is awakening within yourself - that part that can recognize and love Christ and take Christ into its arms, your arms, and embrace it as the Beloved.
01:03:28
65 It is time to release the insane perception that there is a separate you, distinct from all other you's, that has incarnated over and over again. 2. We talk this way because a teacher must have a form of language that the student can understand. 3. But the point is to lead beyond that language and understanding, to release the attachment and the value that has been placed on an individualized past. 4. And to anyone who feels that they must have been Mary: You're not special. 5. Do not make the egoic mistake of claiming That One as yourself, in order to feel special or closer to God.
01:04:34
66 Your value is not found in the past. 2. It is not found in who you were, but in who you are choosing to be now. 3. And if your name is Fred or Ralph or Hazel, it doesn't matter. 4. For Hazel can be just as Christed as Mary ever was. 5. And indeed, Hazel must become Christed in order to be free.
01:05:11
67 It is the egoic mind that looks to the past. 2. It is the egoic mind that requires specialness. 3. It is the egoic mind that simply refuses to let you, so to speak, settle in to be Hazel, or Fred, or George, or Anastasia. 4. These are merely sounds floating in the ethers that designate a temporary aspect of Christ's incarnation. 5. So you're beginning to see, then, why there can be so many Mary's. 6. Some are sincerely tapping into that aspect of the One Mind. 7. Some need to create the illusion that they were That One because they refuse to heal the holes in their bucket where they are, and seek to reach back and find that energy in another and make it their own. 8. It is called special relationship.
01:06:31
68 Look well, then, and see: Is there anything lingering in me which needs to reach out to grab another part of myself in some ancient past so that I can finally feel I have some measure of worthiness? 2. The only thing that defines your worthiness is how well you are choosing to be the embodiment of Christed Consciousness now.
01:07:07
69 This is why I once taught, and continue to teach, that belief in reincarnation is not necessary for awakening. 2. And if you think it is, you may rest assured that, if there's anything unhealed from the past. it is with you now. 3. Learn to look only to how you are now. 4. For there you will discover the effects of what was not healed in what you perceive to be the past.
01:07:47
70 You need not go to the great Akashic Record Library and research yourself on the cosmic microfiche of the world in order to discover who you were, so that you will understand why you're such a schmuck now. [Laughter] There, I finally got it! Whew! Ah, that explains everything. 2. As you down yet another beer. 3. You are creating your schmuckness nowhere but right now. 4. So, will you be the princess of schmuckdom? 5. Or will you don the cloak of one who assumes complete responsibility for creating their experience?
01:08:58
71 To those that seem to feel an affection for the John's, and the Mary's, and the Peter's, the Judas's, notice that it's coming up in your consciousness so that you can make the decision to love that expression of the dream and see the Christedness that is its essence. 2. Bring it into yourself. 3. Love it. 4. Let it go. 5. Let it be assimilated to that which you are.
01:09:40
72 Therefore, for all of you, then, to contemplate, especially if you're feeling some affection or attraction or identification with this Mary, why not stop keeping Her at arm's length and. in your meditation, ask yourself: What are the qualities of That One that make me feel so affectionate toward Her? 2. What is it in Her that I desire to have within myself?
3. And bring those qualities in. 4. Again, as though you were a sponge. 5. Make them part of your being. 6. Overcome the fragmentation that has occurred in the dream of separation.
7. Does that make sense for you?
01:10:34
73 Now, I know that what I've just shared might give a few a bit of a start when they hear these words. 2. If it does, it only means that they're yet needing to perceive themselves as having some special form of relationship that somehow got lost in an ancient past. 3. No. It is not lost. 4. And they must take another step and realize that they have to start doing the work, if that is what it is perceived to be, of getting on with what has not been completed here and now, Am I embodying Christed consciousness? 5. Yes or no. 6. What steps do I need to take to do that? 7. That's all there ever is. 8. That should suffice for now. 9. The only other alternative, of course, is to remain in the kingdom of schmuckness.
01:11:43
74 The last question that was mentioned over the weekend was, that you had mentioned you're coming through 2003 or so other people. And there have been several people out there claiming to have channeled St. Germain. And we have been told by Johah that nobody does channel St. Germain. They only receive thought forms. So the question is: Are there people out there who are authentically channeling our mutual friend, St. Germain?
01:12:18
75 You're asking what is called a technological, philosophical question. 2. You are doing what is called the "mincing of words." 3. It is the effect that matters.
01:12:32
76 We would suggest here for you that This One, my friend who was once my - almost - my executioner . . .that, indeed, is symbolic for you. 2. For who do you perceive as your executioner? 3. That One communicates with many. 4. For That One has long since learned to assume responsibility for those assigned to Him. 5. That One does communicate through thought forms to a multitude of beings. 6. That One, by the way, still pops in and manifests a body whenever He wishes - just to spend a few moments on a park bench with an old friend. 7. This One lives in complete unlimitedness.
01;13:28
77 Therefore, to the degree that those minds receiving This One's thought forms are continually at work keeping their garden well-cultivated and free of egoism do, indeed, reflect very accurately that which This One would seek to transmit. 2. As you would understand that which you are calling channeling, in which this One's consciousness blends with the temporarily-crystallized form that you call a certain individual, in order to speak through the mind, the mental field, the language structure of that one to others, This One, my friend, does indeed do that, from time to time. 3. But as you would perceive it, the number of those through whom that effective blending is occurring is very, very small. 4. We would say that you could count the number as less than the fingers on two hands.
01:14:45
78 But there are a multitude who receive This One's thought forms, and a multitude who do a very, very good job of transmitting those thought pictures, those images, those thoughts, into a language that conveys His message to those in your world. 2. Does that help you in that regard?
79 Response: Much.
01:15:10
80 Always what matters is this: Anyone who serves as what your world is now referring to as a channel has the very same work in front of them, constantly, that anyone does - the work of constant self-cultivation, surrender, allowing, trusting, letting go, letting go of egoic consciousness, letting go of need for specialness, staying in observation of how one is truly being. 2. Surrendering, surrendering, surrendering. 3. I'm not the maker and the doer. 4. I'm not the one who knows anything. 5. I need nothing from anyone. 6. Who do I need to let off the hook? 7. How deeply can I master forgiveness? 8. And all of the rest. 9. That is primary. 10. And, in fact, the relationship, such as the one between my beloved brother and myself, is one that accentuates the need for that one to practice these things.
01:16:20
81 We would also say here that it is possible, and Germain is one of these who can overcome the impediments within the consciousness of another to get their thought form well planted, well received. 2. So it's kind of a mutual thing. 3. The channel must always be involved in the same work that everyone's involved in, because everyone is a channel. 4. And nothing is manifested through them, save the frequencies that they are allowing to make a home in their mind . . . those that channel my beloved friend, as you would call Him, as St. Germain . . . although, where we abide, sometimes we joke about the 'saint' part of that.
5. Now, those that are channeling Him, then, are no different than you. 6. They need to keep doing their own inner work. 7. Their goal should not be to rest, but to continually desire to be the embodiment of Christ Itself. 8. Not to rest on their laurels, so to speak.
01:17:37
82 At the same time, rest assured that we are capable of insuring that the purity of that vibration be maintained. 2. Because, when it isn't, we simply pull away. 3. If egoic consciousness begins to take root in any channel, we simply, shall we say, "put it on a shelf" and wait until later. 4. And it is only you who can discern whether what is being spoken is flowing from us or is merely the repetition of a record that has already been implanted in that one. 5 Then they've reached a certain limit of their own growth and we have departed. 6. And you are well aware of that. 7. It is a vibration that you sense, even in the cellular structure of the body.
01:18:32
83 Does that help you in regard to that question?
Response: Yes. Thank you.
Jeshua: Indeed. So have you any other questions?
Response: No.
Jeshua: Rest assured, unto you we would say that, in the weeks to come, a multitude of questions you did not know exist will come into the surface of the consciousness.
Response: I'm sure.
Jeshua: For only one reason: so that you can embrace them with the answers that you already know. And, thereby, be freed of the past.
Response: Amen.
Jeshua: Very well then, as you have spoken.
Amen.

________________________________________
1 And again, greetings unto you, beloved and holy friends. 2. Once again, we come forth to abide with you. 3. Once again, we come forth to celebrate with you. 4. Once again, we come to abide with the Holy Mind that is the Sonship. 5. We come to abide with our brothers and sisters and we come as brothers and sisters. 6. And indeed, we come forth to abide in that process whereby the Sonship is remembering Itself as the Son - something to contemplate there. 7. Indeed, beloved friends, I am one who comes forth in this particular work, to be as the primary spokesman, through this, my beloved brother, to share that with you which already resides within you.
01:15
2 I come forth - we come forth - to join with you who have chosen to answer a certain call to bring forth a creative expression that can signify, to the world, the Truth that alone can set this world free. 2. Free of what? 3. Free of fear, and all of the children that fear begets: guilt, dishonesty, unworthiness, limitation, the need for suffering, judgment, and the list goes on and on.
02:03
3 But ultimately, when a gardener seeks to improve the quality of the soil from which that gardener would want his flowers to bloom forth, the gardener seeks not to look upon the effects of a weed, that is, that which is above the surface, but rather, makes haste and goes for the root. 2. And when the root has been pulled up, the effects of that weed can no more be seen.
02:45
4 Therefore, in Truth, we come, not to improve what you would be thinking of as the surface of the garden, the surface of the soil, but to strike at the root that resides deep within the mind, in the depth which I have called the heart, or the soul. 2. All that we endeavor to do, then, is designed to uproot the weed of fear that has made a home in the depth of your being.
03:25
5 And in this past year, as you would know time, we have endeavored to share with you what we have chosen to call, The Way of the Heart, which has required (for those of you that have truly participated in the devotion necessary to extract the wisdom which has been offered to you) - The Way of the Heart has been designed to bypass the cognitive, or thinking mind, and to strike at the roots of fear that abide in the depth of the mind, and therefore resides in a place that is, by and large, what you would call unconscious. 2. All that we do seeks to dissolve that root from the depth of your being.
04:27
6 We cannot do this to you; we can only do it with you. 2. For never can anything be forced upon the mind of the Son of God. 3. The Holy Spirit makes no effort to usurp, or take from you, your freedom. 4. For in your freedom, all power under Heaven and Earth resides. 5. And Grace does not descend until your Father knows that you are willing to prepare a place to receive it. 6. And this is why, in the process of healing and awakening, it is not necessary to seek for Love. 7. It is only necessary to prepare the place, the soil, by choosing to discover the obstacles to Love, which all come down to fear, and to be willing to loosen that root, that it might be removed from the garden of your consciousness.
05:48
7 And then, that Rain of Grace that purifies, transforms, awakens, and brings Christed Consciousness to the mind, can descend gently. 2. For when the rain falls upon hard ground, it strikes the soil and runs off, and the garden remains barren. 3. But the wise gardener, who has softened the soil, who has reached in and begun to pull up the roots, to sift the soil and make it soft and open and porous, with the intent of bringing forth a beautiful garden, will indeed, then, be assisted by the Rain of Grace that falls gently, without it being earned - 'tis given freely.
06:41
8 This year, Drops of Grace have been offered to you in each and every one of your months. 2. Some you have received: some you have not noticed. 3. Some are waiting to penetrate the deeper levels of your consciousness as you continue in your willingness to release fear. 4. And suddenly, a Pearl of Grace that has not yet been received, will sink deep. [Snaps fingers] 5. And the recognition will come, the awakening will come. 6. And suddenly you will find yourself saying, Wait a minute. This insight, this vision, this realization I've just had, it sounds like something that was on tape number one. Hmm. I think I'll go back and listen. Yes, there it is! I wonder why I didn't notice it the first time? 7. It is simply the natural process in which the Drops of Rain of Grace had not yet a place to be received.
07:55
9 Understand then, and this is of great importance as we move into this next year, that all that transpires from this point rests on how well the gardener has cultivated the soil with the tools that have been given. 2. If they have not been utilized, the soil remains hard, and the drops of rain run off and pool in the side of the garden, waiting for the soil to be properly prepared. 3. Of all of these, that which can continue, and will continue, to serve you in the greatest, will be the simple five-minute practice of abiding as Christ, and observing all that you see, all that you feel, all that you think, as though a perfectly Awakened Christ was the only One sitting in that chair.
09:06
10 I know that this sounds simplistic for you, but the way is easy and without effort.
2. Complexity is born of the world, and not from the Mind of God. 3. Therefore, continue well in that practice, and allow it to be the foundation from which soil is prepared, the roots of fear are loosened, even in ways that you cannot comprehend with the thinking mind.
4. For the roots of fear are not merely ideas. 5. They are the effects of ideas. 6. They've been allowed to penetrate deep into what you call the unconscious. 7. This is why The Way of Transformation - which is, by the way, the entitlement, the title, that we will give what is to be shared during your next calendar year - it is why The Way of Transformation requires not striving, but allowing: not thinking, but letting go . . . feeling; not doing, but trusting.
10:33
11 Those roots of fear must be dissolved at a level that is deeper than the conscious thinking mind can reach. 2. The mind was never designed to be your master, but to become aligned as a servant of the Awakened Heart, just like the flower blooms and sends forth its scent for all to see, from the depth of the soil that is unseen but has been well prepared, so that the only roots that gather nourishment from the soil are the roots of that which speaks of Life and beauty, not that which speaks of fear and unworthiness.
11:31
12 Seek you, then, to seek no more. 2. For the place is prepared for you, and you need only go to it. 3. Therefore, we will be cultivating more deeply the art of surrendering, resting ever more deeply into that place of silence which is the threshold to perfect Wisdom Divine. 4. The Way of the Heart is the preparation of the soil which allows The Way of Transformation to truly occur. 5. And transformation is not complete unless it envelops, encompasses, and is expressed through, the very life you know, right there on your speck of dust, whirling about one sun in a small part of one universe - your Earth, your time frame, your relationships, your experience, your life as you know it, as you live it, as you breathe it, as you feel it!
13:06
13 So, to many of you that are listening (and the breath is beginning to stop), let the breath flow and realize that, with your grand technologies, you have the freedom to go back and see if there is anything you missed. 2. As you do that, do it from a place of Christedness: I am that one choosing to enter The Way of Transformation whereby human consciousness, the human lived experience, becomes the living expression, the fruit which has sprung forth from the soil in which the root of Grace and of Love and of healing has been well planted.
3. Not from the perspective that you are doing something amiss, but out of the desire to be the master gardener, who brings forth that fruit which extends beauty and the scent of joy for all to be received, for all to see, for all to marvel at.
14:35
14 And yet, that beauty that springs forth from the gardener's beautiful garden does not build up the ego of the master gardener, for a master gardener knows that he or she has only been the keeper of the soil. 2. But the magic that brings forth the flower is not his or her possession, it is merely that which you have been given stewardship over: consciousness.
3. And consciousness is the gift of Life, streaming forth from the Mind of God. 4. Your mind, then, is the soil of the garden. 5. And all awakening, and all transformation, occurs nowhere save in that garden.
15:36
15 And right away, some of you are still seeking to understand the mind by seeing it as something that is locked inside the shape of your skull, and is somehow co-habitating with what you call the gray matter of the brain. 2. Rest assured, your mind is unlimited forever.
3. And the body that sits in the chair, in your five minute exercise, is as a drop of foam being expressed at the slightest tip of one wave in an infinite ocean. 4. And that ocean is itself within the unlimited expanse of your Mind. 5. You are Consciousness as such - Pure Spirit!
16:42
16 The only question, then, is: Are you willing to allow that drop of foam to be transformed into that which fully and always expresses only the Love of God, even though that expression is still temporary because the body has arisen in the field of time and disappears in the field of time? 2. Are you willing to say, "What the heck!" and allow that Love to be as fully embodied as it is possible for it to be, for the split second that the body is in this world?
17:27
17 For rest assured, to the degree that you turn your attention to expressing mastery, which is the effect of The Way of Transformation in this world, in this time, in this little tiny moment - to the degree that you do that, to the degree that you use time wisely to be the embodied Christ, rest assured that when the body drops away, and it veils from you no longer the magnificence of the Light you are, the Light will not be blinding to you. 2. And you will not contract in fear. 3. You'll merely let this world go, gently, and as easily as a child has put away a toy that has been outgrown, because its usefulness is complete. 4. All that you see - the body, your relationships, your devices, your stars and your winds and your waters - will eventually be put aside by you, not out of denial, but simply out of recognizing that their usefulness is over.
18:58
18 Indeed, beloved friends, as we then come to the completion of this one brief year together, look well to see that no Drops of Grace have been ignored. 2. Open the heart ever more deeply. 3. Allow those pearls, those Drops of Rain, of Grace, to penetrate ever more deeply, not just as ideas in the thinking mind, but as feelings in the cells of the body. 4. Let it create for you a sweetness in the flow of breath, a sensitivity in the way your foot rests upon the soil of the Earth with each step. 5. Let it begin to transform the way in which you rest your hand upon the shoulder of your brother or sister. 6. Allow that sweetness to permeate your gaze as you look upon another - seeing the Christ within them that is growing into a beautiful flower whose scent and beauty will be as a blessing to many. 7. For there is no one among you who is not the evolving Christ. 8. And remember always that what you see is what you get, in the same way that as you teach, you learn.
20:48
19 Look well, then, and ask yourself this: Who do I know in my existence whom I have judged, and locked into a certain box, and I have decided that is all they are? 2. There you will find a fruitful meditation for the remainder of your time until we begin that which will be called The Way of Transformation. 3. In other words, you have about thirty days to take the time, and use it wisely, to allow the names, the images, the faces of those that you've done that to, to let them come back to you, to say: You know, mother, father, ex-mate - whatever it is - I get it. I've placed you in a box and thrown away the key. You're stuck, so I have said. 4 And now, I release you, that I might be released.
22:00
20 And contemplate their image. 2. Allow the memories of the experiences you have shared with them to come back. 3. If there are feelings, by all means, let yourself feel them. 4. Gaze upon them, in your mind, until you feel that sweetness that dissolves the imprisonment into which you've placed them. 5. For as that imprisonment begins to melt, you will sense and know that your freedom is blossoming.
22:32
21 You cannot take fear into Love. 2. You cannot take judgment into forgiveness. 3. You cannot take limitation into unlimitedness. 4. These things must be released at the level in which they were first created. 5. Therefore, make note that this practice should not be overlooked. 6. Give yourself thirty days with the goal to truly go back and - shall we say - mop up any forgiveness or releasing that you need yet to do. 7. Don't let the mind say, I don't know if I did that well enough. 8. For understand, it is the Comforter that releases you and the other, through your willingness to allow it to occur.
23:36
22 Now there are some effects. 2. This will mean that when you've truly done that, never again do you have any justification or excuse for attaching any experience you have had, any feelings you have ever felt - shall we say, to the hook on the side of their imprisonment that you've placed them in. 3. Often, the human mind, the egoic mind, wants to hang the coat of its judgment on the hook just outside the bars in which you have locked someone: That which I have experienced is the result of my father's alcoholism. That which I have experienced in life is the result of my mother having forty thousand affairs a week. That which I have experienced is the result of my business partner who has stolen my golden coins. - and all of the rest. That which has caused my suffering is the result of the position of the stars in the sky when I chose incarnation. 4. If only they would have gotten it right, I would be okay.
24:53
23 It is time, fully, as we conclude this year of The Way of the Heart (and to those who will be concluding it many years hence). 2. I say unto you, do not enter The Way of Transformation until you've truly and fully satisfied your awareness that you are not clinging to even the subtlest iota of perception that, in any way, you are a victim of the world you see. 3. Nothing has been caused by your relationships. 4. All of them have merely shown you what you have already decided will be true. 5. The world, then, is not the cause of anything. 6. You merely see what you have used the freedom of your consciousness to concoct about yourself.
26:05
24 Lack is not caused by taxation. 2. Taxation is caused by the decision to need to believe that there is a power outside of yourself that needs all of your energy. 3. Government does not cause you to be subservient. 4. Your sense of being subservient, guilt ridden, weak, and limited is what births the idea of government. 5. And then some of you, as loving brothers and sisters, say: Well, I'll play that part. 6. And they become your politicians that, pardon the language, create the "pissing off" feeling that you have.
26:50
25 The world is uncaused by anything, save the choices you have made as a free consciousness. 2. You've concocted the thought, immersed yourself in that which reflects back to you what you have already decided to believe. 3. This means that The Way of Transformation is that way in which one becomes empowered, in every moment, to become fully responsible for clearly deciding what they will see, and that they will not settle for anything less. 4. The better you get at this, the quicker it happens. 5. Until one reaches the point where miracles occur.
27:50
26 And yet, they are only miraculous to those that do not understand how consciousness works. 2. And you can achieve that place in which you hold out the palm of the hand and desire the sweetest tasting apple that has ever been created, and it will, literally, appear in the palm of your hand. 3. Of course, at that point, you will be well beyond any need, whatsoever, to even hold the thought of requiring physical form.
28:30
27 You will begin, then, to get a sense of your mastery by being able to look at the world you are seeing and observing clearly what's been changing in it, and how quickly and effortlessly that which the heart truly desires, because it's in alignment with the Mind of God, becomes manifested, effortlessly. 2. When the gap between the pure desire and the manifested reflection of it is smaller and smaller and smaller, you will literally sense in the feeling body that mastery is growing, and that you are merely a Child of God playing, without ceasing, in the sandbox of all possibilities called the Mind . . . and that there is, literally, nothing out there that is solid, nothing out there that is unrelated to you.
29:45
28 So! That's where we're going, if you wish to come along on the journey, if you are willing to truly become committed to uprooting every root of fear that has taken hold within the depth of the mind that has been rendered unconsciousness because of your hatred of yourself. 2. It is called the separation from God. 3. And therefore, because it has become unconscious, it has ruled you. 4. Time to release the un-rule-able, by allowing that alone which can uproot the root of fear to come and take up its rightful place within you: Christ-Mindedness.
30:43
29 So! You have your homework before you, then. Go within and ask: When that third tape came and I listened to it, but I was trying to watch the game of the football on the television, I wonder if I missed something? Hmm. 2 When I listened to tape number seven, but was on the way to having the dinner date with that new body that looked so enticing to me, did I really sit with it and extract all of the pearls that were offered? 3. Perhaps I will go back and really set aside an hour in which I deliberately set the world aside and - what you do when you call it the "hanging on every word."
31:45
30 And yet, with a relaxed body and a soft breath and a non-grasping mind, be you therefore like a sponge that allows the raindrops to be absorbed into the self, and that is all. 2. Knowledge is not a cognitive struggle. 3. It is not the arranging of ideas in some order that satisfies the thinking mind. 4. Knowledge is the receiving of a vibration that begins to soften the soil of the heart and dissolves the root of fear from your being. 5. Knowledge is that which is the result of the transformation of the garden that you have been given and entrusted with - the field of mind that is you. 6. And that mind pervades the body. 7. It pervades the space around you and melds and dances with other infinite webs of relationship called other minds - energy dancing into energy, unlimited forever, out of which all things of time are birthed and pass away.
33:11
31 So, you see, where I abide is everywhere at once. 2. And so do you; you simply don't know it yet. 3. I abide with an infinite array of friends who have realized the Truth and have been set free. 4. They are infinitely creating, without ceasing, that which extends their treasure, which is the good, the holy, and the beautiful. 5. Many have given you images of choirs of angels singing the praises of God. 6. It's the same thing.
34:03
32 For when extension of joy becomes free to express only the good, the holy, and the beautiful, it is like a vibration of many notes, a choir of creative consciousnesses, sparks of divinity, who abide in perfect unlimitedness and know it, and ceaselessly extend their deepest bliss by allowing the good and the holy and the beautiful to flow through them from the infinite, mysterious, ungraspable, uncontainable Mind That Is - God - as the sunlight of the sun creates and streams through many sunbeams that extend out to the far reaches of your universe as light, out of which planets are birthed, and animals and water and trees and birds and man.
35:10
33 Imagine, then, that that is your destiny, to take up your rightful place beside me, to join your brothers and sisters in infinite and perfect creativity, like a harp player would ceaselessly run the fingers across the strings, creating the most beautiful notes. 2. And the combinations never cease. 3. And in every moment, you experience the fruit of the flowers springing forth from the garden that you have well prepared to receive the Rain of Grace - evermore, evermore, evermore, the good, the holy, and the beautiful flowing through your unobstructed mind that rests in perfect marriage, or union, with That which is your Creator, your Source.
36:20
34 Not a bad way to spend eternity! 2. But if you look ahead, and feel that there is a distance between where you are and where that reality is, you will miss the opportunities required, right where you are, to practice where you're going, by being it now. 3. You have heard it said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. 4. And the beginning is every bit as important as the end. 5. For in the beginning, the end is already present. 6. The Way of Transformation, then, asks you to truly become present where you are, to deliberately and consciously cultivate, with every thought and every breath, the willingness necessary that allows the root of fear to be dissolved, so that the good, and the holy, and the beautiful is all that emanates from you, like a beacon being sent out to creation around you.
37:54
35 Do not delay. 2. Do not waste time. 3. Time can, indeed, be wasted. 4. But listen well, for time can also waste. 5. You have a saying we would perceive in many of your silly little movies, where someone gets "wasted." I'll go and waste Charlie. 6. How many times have you been the mafia leader that has said to yourself, Well, I think I'll just waste myself? 7. How many ways have you gone unconscious? 8. How many ways have you numbed your feelings? 9. How many ways have you judged your brother or sister? 10. How many ways have you decided to hold onto thoughts that say, I could never do that. What's the point? It's a waste. 11. Oh, yes! 12. You just put a gun to your head and pulled the trigger.
13. You've wasted yourself by wasting time.
39:04
36 Every moment is as a doorway through which the good, and the holy, and the beautiful can be expressed, the cultivation of the consciousness through which the power to do so grows. 2. Oh, beloved friends, those moments of your time are very precious! 3. Do not look out upon the world and go, Well, what the heck, it's just the same old world.
4. Remember, then, as you begin to come to the completion of this year's Way of the Heart, that what you see outside of you is only the reflection of what you have allowed to live within you.
40:05
37 And simply ask: Is this what I wish to continue? What do I truly want? What is this, my very consciousness, for? What do I commit myself to? What do I say I believe? Where do I freely choose to place the power of valuation? 2. For what you value, you experience [snaps fingers] immediately. 3. And the world will bow down and say, Very well. You have let us know what you value. We will mirror it back to you, because we love you, because we're a part of you. And heaven forbid that we would take away your free will.
41:05
38 So if you value hopelessness, the world will be a hopeless place. 2. If you value lack of golden coins, you will continue to see lack of golden coins - flow of energy is all that means. 3. If you value loneliness, you will continue to be alone. 4. If you value the right to be in judgment of another, you will experience the fruit of separation.
41:35
39 If you value sweetness, sweetness will come. 2. If you value receiving Love - listen to this carefully - if you value receiving Love, the world will begin to show up at your doorstep in completely different embodiments. 3. Different vibrations, different thought patterns will be mirrored back to you that let you receive Love. 4. For nothing can be received until the place is prepared for it to enter. 5. And you can only give what you have been willing to receive. 6. If you receive a drop of water into your glass, that is all that you can give to another. 7. But he that receives all, gives all. 8. And he that gives all, receives tenfold more.
42:41
40 So, it has been a good year. 2. And we have watched with great amusement, at times, but always great compassion, and always perfect patience, and always perfect Love. 2. We have called out to you across space and time, and if you have heard the call, the connection, the relationship with us is already established. 3. There’s been no bridge to cross, merely the willingness to receive what is true: Jeshua is available for me always. Mary is available for me always. 4. The one you would call as my friend, as Germain, is available for you always. 5. The entire family, lineage, of masters that have sought through time to create a frequency and a vibration that can dissolve the effects of the negative thinking that you have extended out of your mind, that creates like the smoke and the veil around you - to dissolve that - all of us are available to you, and our number is legion!
44:01
41 Rest assured, you are not alone. 2. And in any moment, you need only call upon me, and I am with you. 3. And I do not come alone! 4. For some of you, then, we would highly suggest that in those moments when you feel like you need a little help, when fear seems to be coming up but you know you must go ahead, whether it be to spend golden coins to go visit some teacher, whether it be to tithe to some church, whatever it be, whatever you think you're fearing, simply say: Legions of angels and masters and friends, whose number is infinite beyond comprehension, you who are sent directly of God to assist me over the ditch, come now, because I declare it and I receive it. 5. And therefore it IS!
45:04
42 And then take the step that is necessary to take. 2. It will not be your imagination.
3. We will be with you. 4. And the perfect end is certain. 5. Fear is nothing more than the illusion you have chosen to value in order to experience what it's like to feel separate from Love. 6. That's all. 7. You merely waved your cosmic magic wand and said: Let there be fear so I can experience it. 8. That's all.
45:53
43 We love you. 2. Beyond your present comprehension, we love you. 3. Beyond all comprehension, even at what you might perceive to be our level of functioning, is the presence of God's Love, which we seek to merely pour forth to you, that by giving, we continually receive. 4. You see, the Laws of Consciousness work for us just like they work for you! 5. We're just more aware of them, that's all.
46:40
44 That Love which God Is is incomprehensible forever! 2. The Sunbeam can never comprehend the Sun. 3. I am a Sunbeam to that Sun. 4. You are a Sunbeam to that Sun.
5. We are therefore made of One Substance, and that Substance alone sustains us throughout eternity. 6. And the greatest of joys is to surrender fully into allowing That Light to light your way without ceasing.
47:43
45 And she that releases the world, embraces the Creator. 2. And he that releases fear, remembers Love. 3. She that embodies forgiveness, lives at peace. 4. And he that relinquishes control, knows perfect trust. 5. And that Awakened Christ that has surrendered the knot of fear, called "I," rests in unlimitedness forever, in perfect communion with all of Creation. 6. And that union never ceases. 7. It merely expands and extends as Life comes forth, Creation comes forth, extending the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
48:53
46 A flower that blooms in the spring for a day is the good, the holy, and the beautiful. 2. The bird that alights upon your fence and sings its morning song has come forth from that infinite perfect Sun. 3. And its notes extend the joy of the Son of God. 4. The smile upon one of your brothers and sisters, who has received a Pearl of Grace through you, is Creation Itself and is the presencing of the good, the holy, and the beautiful. 5. The rays of sunlight that dance upon the oceans of this world, creatively sing forth the good, the holy and the beautiful. 6. Every loving thought that you allow to be cultivated in the garden of your own mind extends the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
50:13
47 Therefore, sing that song without ceasing. 2. And be willing, as we close this year, to celebrate your willingness to embrace, with perfect deliberateness, your creativity and the power you have, the dominion over that which is planted in the soil of your mind. 3. Prepare that soil well as you complete this year, that the Pearls of Grace might bring you in to The Way of Transformation.
51:00
48 And with that, beloved friends, by the time you hear this you will have celebrated your birth date as those sunbeams which are expressed through these stories of the birth of Christ into the world. 2. Seeming that it occurred two thousand years ago? 3. For me. 4. Is it not time now for you to let that same birthing be fully completed in you?
51:45
49 Therefore, we bring this message to a close, for now. 2. Know that it has been our honor and our joy to abide with you. 3. And there is a whole host of beings encircling you every moment you remember that you have chosen to answer a call that can be traced to the very Mind of God. 3. Who has reached out to call His Creation, you, back to Himself, so that you can deliberately extend Love without ceasing.
52:33
50 Yes, we will have that which is called the question/answer period. 2. But for now, we bid you peace. 3. We give you Love. 4. We hold you with perfect patience, knowing the Truth that is true, alone, about you. 5. And we will never leave you.
Peace, then, be unto you always. Amen.
* * * * * * * * *
53:15
51 Jeshua we have some questions that came up at the Christmas celebration. 2. The first one is, On the day of your crucifixion, it was told that you spoke the words, Father, why hast Thou forsaken me? Can you elaborate on that?
53:42
52 A: That is always the proper question. 2. First, I have, indeed, given forth this answer to a certain one that you're aware of. 3. We would highly suggest that you merely obtain that answer, for it was not given to be kept and held in privacy. 4. Now, we would amend it by saying that I've felt guilty about that statement ever since. [Laughter]
54:13
53 Beloved friend, if I have not touched every kernel of humanity and the experience of it that you have known, it is useless for you to listen to me. 2. And I have nothing to offer you. 3. Therefore, to have come into your world and to have, shall we say, made myself impervious to pain, doubt, guilt, tears, laughter, anger, you name it - yes, even lust - to have done that would have rendered my relationship with you meaningless.
55:06
54 That is what we'll give as an amendment, a clarification, a driving home a very important point that can then be amended or added to the answer that you will extract, that has already been given. 2. Does that make sense for you?
55:25
55 It is a very good question, but in the end, bring it around a little further and ask of yourself: Why have I said, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" Hmm 2. Something to be pondered.
55:53
56 Another question is, There seem to be many, many women who tap into memories and experiences as being Mary Magdalene. 2. Can you talk about that, or the fragmentation of that one soul?
56:13
57 Beloved friend, we would suggest here there are many in what you call the male body that also hold secretly that very same thing, a little more deeply, because they would perceive that it would truly be seen or perceived as insanity. 2. Well, since I only have this kind of apparatus . . . what you call the plumbing and that which helps to - in the procreation process of the body, since it is of a certain type, surely I could not possibly have ever known incarnation in any other kind of form. 3. So, if I say to another "I believe I've tapped into being - having been - Mary, the one that you speak of," but then I would certainly be laughed at. 4. Because, after all, my chest has too much hair on it. 5. But no, I don't believe I'm just the body! [Laughter]
57:12
58 Now, what occurs? 2. In the beginning, Mind is One. 3. You - we speak to all you's - were That Mind. 4. A dream was dreamt in which fragmentation seems to have occurred.
5. In that fragmentation, it is as though many individual Points of Light, Souls, Sparks of Divinity, call yourself whatever you want, call yourself a Burp in the Mind of God . . . it doesn't matter. 6. That is the result of the dream of separation, which, in Reality, never occurred.
58:14
59 It does rather boggle the mind - thank God for that! 2. In that process, many worlds have been birthed, and continue to be birthed, by Mind as It perceives Itself as fragmented. 3. In one tiny, tiny, tiny speck of dust or speck of Light, a world was birthed that you call the Earth, and all life forms with it. 4. And in that tiny speck, a time frame was evolved or created in which human bodies were given names. 5. And minds believe themselves to be, much as you still do yet today, that you are somehow something other than the one who sits apart or across from you, just because there's a body that creates the perception that there's a distance from you.
59:15
60 One such very temporary illusory fragmentation is That One known as Mary of Magdalene, Mary of Magdala. 2. Within that dream, one emerged known as Jeshua ben Joseph. 3. And in the process of that expression of that dream, these two, shall we say, looked upon each other and went, Oh, my goodness! How sweet it is! 4. That is, as souls, as yet still parts of that dream - it's not that we're from someplace higher than you. 5. We're all in it together, since Mind is One.
01:00:04
61 In that dream, there was relationship, 2000 years ago in embodied form, between two Sparks of the same Mind, manifesting as individualized consciousness. 2. One is called Jeshua, one is called Mary. 3. And a rather nice friendship evolved in which one seemed to serve as the teacher and the savior, and the healer of the other, who then, in turn, served as supporter, healer and awakener of the other.
01:00:41
62 Now here's the point: That individualized focus of Light lives within everyone.
2. How could it be other than that? 3. Just as I, as an individualized aspect of the dream, abide wholly in everyone. 4. You, again speaking to all of you, could not begin to recognize me as Jeshua ben Joseph, that individualized Spark of Divinity that somehow got its "stuff" cleared up enough to remember the Truth and let it shine through. 5. You could not know me or remember me, if I was not you. 6. It takes One to recognize One.
01:01:45
63 So when you approach the question of Mary Magdalene from the perspective that there is something separate from yourself to begin with, you'll end up with all kinds of fantastic perceptions and philosophies. 2. Now, within the dream, That One, who's really you, experienced a process of healing and awakening, a transformation, a healing of the heart, experienced relationship with me and many others, experienced passion and sensuality - what you call the little sparks that excite the cells. 3. When This One died - and death is an illusion - that crystallized contraction of energy has, in itself, never incarnated again.
01:02:40
64 However, it has - in a sense, you could perceive it this way - extended or radiated aspects or strands of Light of its own being that have made a home in other individualized body-minds. 2. And therefore, in the process of healing and awakening, This One needs to be looked upon as a symbol of an aspect of the part of consciousness that is awakening within yourself - that part that can recognize and love Christ and take Christ into its arms, your arms, and embrace it as the Beloved.
01:03:28
65 It is time to release the insane perception that there is a separate you, distinct from all other you's, that has incarnated over and over again. 2. We talk this way because a teacher must have a form of language that the student can understand. 3. But the point is to lead beyond that language and understanding, to release the attachment and the value that has been placed on an individualized past. 4. And to anyone who feels that they must have been Mary: You're not special. 5. Do not make the egoic mistake of claiming That One as yourself, in order to feel special or closer to God.
01:04:34
66 Your value is not found in the past. 2. It is not found in who you were, but in who you are choosing to be now. 3. And if your name is Fred or Ralph or Hazel, it doesn't matter. 4. For Hazel can be just as Christed as Mary ever was. 5. And indeed, Hazel must become Christed in order to be free.
01:05:11
67 It is the egoic mind that looks to the past. 2. It is the egoic mind that requires specialness. 3. It is the egoic mind that simply refuses to let you, so to speak, settle in to be Hazel, or Fred, or George, or Anastasia. 4. These are merely sounds floating in the ethers that designate a temporary aspect of Christ's incarnation. 5. So you're beginning to see, then, why there can be so many Mary's. 6. Some are sincerely tapping into that aspect of the One Mind. 7. Some need to create the illusion that they were That One because they refuse to heal the holes in their bucket where they are, and seek to reach back and find that energy in another and make it their own. 8. It is called special relationship.
01:06:31
68 Look well, then, and see: Is there anything lingering in me which needs to reach out to grab another part of myself in some ancient past so that I can finally feel I have some measure of worthiness? 2. The only thing that defines your worthiness is how well you are choosing to be the embodiment of Christed Consciousness now.
01:07:07
69 This is why I once taught, and continue to teach, that belief in reincarnation is not necessary for awakening. 2. And if you think it is, you may rest assured that, if there's anything unhealed from the past. it is with you now. 3. Learn to look only to how you are now. 4. For there you will discover the effects of what was not healed in what you perceive to be the past.
01:07:47
70 You need not go to the great Akashic Record Library and research yourself on the cosmic microfiche of the world in order to discover who you were, so that you will understand why you're such a schmuck now. [Laughter] There, I finally got it! Whew! Ah, that explains everything. 2. As you down yet another beer. 3. You are creating your schmuckness nowhere but right now. 4. So, will you be the princess of schmuckdom? 5. Or will you don the cloak of one who assumes complete responsibility for creating their experience?
01:08:58
71 To those that seem to feel an affection for the John's, and the Mary's, and the Peter's, the Judas's, notice that it's coming up in your consciousness so that you can make the decision to love that expression of the dream and see the Christedness that is its essence. 2. Bring it into yourself. 3. Love it. 4. Let it go. 5. Let it be assimilated to that which you are.
01:09:40
72 Therefore, for all of you, then, to contemplate, especially if you're feeling some affection or attraction or identification with this Mary, why not stop keeping Her at arm's length and. in your meditation, ask yourself: What are the qualities of That One that make me feel so affectionate toward Her? 2. What is it in Her that I desire to have within myself?
3. And bring those qualities in. 4. Again, as though you were a sponge. 5. Make them part of your being. 6. Overcome the fragmentation that has occurred in the dream of separation.
7. Does that make sense for you?
01:10:34
73 Now, I know that what I've just shared might give a few a bit of a start when they hear these words. 2. If it does, it only means that they're yet needing to perceive themselves as having some special form of relationship that somehow got lost in an ancient past. 3. No. It is not lost. 4. And they must take another step and realize that they have to start doing the work, if that is what it is perceived to be, of getting on with what has not been completed here and now, Am I embodying Christed consciousness? 5. Yes or no. 6. What steps do I need to take to do that? 7. That's all there ever is. 8. That should suffice for now. 9. The only other alternative, of course, is to remain in the kingdom of schmuckness.
01:11:43
74 The last question that was mentioned over the weekend was, that you had mentioned you're coming through 2003 or so other people. And there have been several people out there claiming to have channeled St. Germain. And we have been told by Johah that nobody does channel St. Germain. They only receive thought forms. So the question is: Are there people out there who are authentically channeling our mutual friend, St. Germain?
01:12:18
75 You're asking what is called a technological, philosophical question. 2. You are doing what is called the "mincing of words." 3. It is the effect that matters.
01:12:32
76 We would suggest here for you that This One, my friend who was once my - almost - my executioner . . .that, indeed, is symbolic for you. 2. For who do you perceive as your executioner? 3. That One communicates with many. 4. For That One has long since learned to assume responsibility for those assigned to Him. 5. That One does communicate through thought forms to a multitude of beings. 6. That One, by the way, still pops in and manifests a body whenever He wishes - just to spend a few moments on a park bench with an old friend. 7. This One lives in complete unlimitedness.
01;13:28
77 Therefore, to the degree that those minds receiving This One's thought forms are continually at work keeping their garden well-cultivated and free of egoism do, indeed, reflect very accurately that which This One would seek to transmit. 2. As you would understand that which you are calling channeling, in which this One's consciousness blends with the temporarily-crystallized form that you call a certain individual, in order to speak through the mind, the mental field, the language structure of that one to others, This One, my friend, does indeed do that, from time to time. 3. But as you would perceive it, the number of those through whom that effective blending is occurring is very, very small. 4. We would say that you could count the number as less than the fingers on two hands.
01:14:45
78 But there are a multitude who receive This One's thought forms, and a multitude who do a very, very good job of transmitting those thought pictures, those images, those thoughts, into a language that conveys His message to those in your world. 2. Does that help you in that regard?
79 Response: Much.
01:15:10
80 Always what matters is this: Anyone who serves as what your world is now referring to as a channel has the very same work in front of them, constantly, that anyone does - the work of constant self-cultivation, surrender, allowing, trusting, letting go, letting go of egoic consciousness, letting go of need for specialness, staying in observation of how one is truly being. 2. Surrendering, surrendering, surrendering. 3. I'm not the maker and the doer. 4. I'm not the one who knows anything. 5. I need nothing from anyone. 6. Who do I need to let off the hook? 7. How deeply can I master forgiveness? 8. And all of the rest. 9. That is primary. 10. And, in fact, the relationship, such as the one between my beloved brother and myself, is one that accentuates the need for that one to practice these things.
01:16:20
81 We would also say here that it is possible, and Germain is one of these who can overcome the impediments within the consciousness of another to get their thought form well planted, well received. 2. So it's kind of a mutual thing. 3. The channel must always be involved in the same work that everyone's involved in, because everyone is a channel. 4. And nothing is manifested through them, save the frequencies that they are allowing to make a home in their mind . . . those that channel my beloved friend, as you would call Him, as St. Germain . . . although, where we abide, sometimes we joke about the 'saint' part of that.
5. Now, those that are channeling Him, then, are no different than you. 6. They need to keep doing their own inner work. 7. Their goal should not be to rest, but to continually desire to be the embodiment of Christ Itself. 8. Not to rest on their laurels, so to speak.
01:17:37
82 At the same time, rest assured that we are capable of insuring that the purity of that vibration be maintained. 2. Because, when it isn't, we simply pull away. 3. If egoic consciousness begins to take root in any channel, we simply, shall we say, "put it on a shelf" and wait until later. 4. And it is only you who can discern whether what is being spoken is flowing from us or is merely the repetition of a record that has already been implanted in that one. 5 Then they've reached a certain limit of their own growth and we have departed. 6. And you are well aware of that. 7. It is a vibration that you sense, even in the cellular structure of the body.
01:18:32
83 Does that help you in regard to that question?
Response: Yes. Thank you.
Jeshua: Indeed. So have you any other questions?
Response: No.
Jeshua: Rest assured, unto you we would say that, in the weeks to come, a multitude of questions you did not know exist will come into the surface of the consciousness.
Response: I'm sure.
Jeshua: For only one reason: so that you can embrace them with the answers that you already know. And, thereby, be freed of the past.
Response: Amen.
Jeshua: Very well then, as you have spoken.
Amen.

Spiritual Discernment
just saw the movie "The Secret" and there was for me some very interesting ideas and thoughts, but I feel also there is a need for spiritual discernent. I mean by that what is real and what is unreal. What is a true teaching and what is not but has the form of a true teaching. Without the Knowledge of the True Self or the Holy Spirit one's own right might one may fall into a trap of thinking one know when one does't. One may know about something, but to Know directly is only the true measure of righteousness or right use ness. The right use of mind.
First of all there really is no secret it was used by those who did not know to gain power over others. The secret place of the most high us that place found within the mind where there is an absence of thought and where true knowing can occur meaning piercing the veil of illusion and seeing into the nature of Reality. We do not create our own reality, but we do create or make our experience of realty. Reality is the kingdom of heaven right here and right now. It is the true state of mind or nature of what everything truly is.
It is true that there is a law of attraction, but it is also true there is a law of cause and effect. so what we create will always have an effect both is what you can call the outermind the mind of this world and the inner mind the mind of spirit. What we sow, we also reap.
So the question is asked what do we want and why do we want it. We already have everything we want. It is a matter of choice and accepting the choices we are making. The trap of the ego is that the ego can never be satisfied that is the nature of a ego. Also everything will eventually pass away as the bible says, you can have the whole world and lose your soul. For me I see this is time for the sword of discernent to cut away this egoic mind of spiritual materialism.
The way to have any thing is in giving and in that way you receive. you can not give what you do not have so their is a need first to receive it for yourself by connecting with your source of being and allowing it to flow to you and through you and extending it out to the world at large so that what you give to others you are now giving it to yourself. The way to experience your Enlightenment is to give it to others in your thoughts, words and deeds. As you give so do you receive. Just because you can have everything your want.doesn't mean that you will be happy. people without knowing it become the slave of the things they want. That is called attachment.
So I want the things that are in line with my spiritual path that are in harmony with the life that flows though me and as me. I choose to be in harmony with the planet and the universal energy of my being that which create love, beauty and hamony and all of the other divine attritbute we ascribe to the Divine.
Thy will be done. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His right useness and all else will be added onto me. The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. Instead of going after every whim and fancy that comes in ones mind what comes of peace. What supports a mind that is happy. I like the story of the "Midas Touch", King Midas wanted everything and he wished everything he touched would turn into gold and he got it, but with it came the consequences of his wish he touched his daugther the only thing he love and she turned into gold. The question to ask is not what you want, but is what you want in your best interest and in the best interest of the planet and all sentient beings. Will want you want produce a lasting happiness or is this temporal. Are you attached to the thing you want or are you free to have in order to give it way. What is the true value of the thing you want. Everything of itself is really empty meaning it has no real value of itself, except the value you give it. Do you give it eternal value or temporal. As Jesus said, All things will pass away, Heaven and earth will pass away and only the truth that is eternal will stay.
Be careful of what you are attracting even when your thinking may say it is good, use your spiritual discernent meaning the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Guidance to discern for you, because God knows what you need before you ask for it.
I believe when you seek outside your self for the things you think you want or will make you happy you will suffer disappointment. If you are looking to establish your identity by the things you think you possess you are going to be unhappy.
You can also tell if the things you want or the thoughts you think are in your best interest by how you feel. Are you happy and are you happy with the results of your thoughts and if you are not then change you mind weed out those thoughts that are not working for you and replace them repeatedly with happy thoughts or those thoughts that will produce happy feelings. I know it take repeadedly practice over and over again until the outside matches the inside of what you really want.
The real or true secret is "Know Thy Self" that has been a secret only because this teaching has been kept hidden by those who have not gone withing or have permitted others.
Know the Truth which is Thy Self and directly know this Truth and you will be set free from all illusion.

You are neither behind the point of perfection nor are you advancing toward it. You are at the point of perfection and it is from there you must understand your self from.

The Way of Mastery Lesson 11
A Meditation into the Heart of Christ
Now, we begin.
1 Indeed, greetings unto you, beloved friends. 2. Join with me in this moment. 3. Join with me in this hour. 4. Join with me in the place where, alone, two minds can join. 5. For the body cannot bring you to where I am, as it cannot bring you to where your beloved is.
6. Join with me, then, in the silent place of the Heart in which all wisdom already abides.
7. Join with me, then, in this moment, in the place prepared for us of our Creator, before time is.
01:21
2 Join with me, by choosing now to allow your attention to relax from the things of the world. 2. Allow the eyes to gently close, as a symbol of your willingness to set aside your involvement with, and your attachment to, the things of this created world. 3. Join with me, by allowing the body to be set free. 4. This requires only that you make no demands upon it. 5. Indeed, let it settle in, as though it were becoming again the dust of the ground from which it came.
02:24
3 Join with me, as you let your attention recede from the world around you. 2. Begin to notice the thoughts that seem to stream through the mind. 3. Join with me by moving ever yet deeper, as though you were allowing your attention to settle down, down, into the Heart. 4. And as the thoughts would seem to stream through the mind, can you tell from whence they've come? 5. Can you tell where they've gone? 6. They arise in a moment and fade away in a moment, while you continue to relinquish your attachment to all things of the world.
03:44
4 Verily I say unto you, even the thoughts that arise and stream through the mind ceaselessly, are of the world. 2. Settle down, then, abiding in the gentle quiet of the heart.
3. You do not cause the physical heart to beat and send the blood through the body.
4. It simply knows, and it does. 5. You do not cause the breath to flow through the body.
6. It arises and passes away. 7. It does not require your attention.
04:38
5 And in this moment, is it you that keeps the stars in the sky above you? 2. Is it you that keeps your beautiful planet, your Earth, spinning, hurtling through space, around and around your central Sun, never deviating very much at all from the same orbit it's been in since its creation? 3. Must you attend to the quiet unseen way in which the flowers outside your window are growing? 4. Can you hear the sound of the grass as it grows?
05:28
6 Somewhere, in this very moment, a child has been birthed. 2. Are you aware of it?
3. Indeed, all of Creation continues to go on, an eternal dance, mystery giving birth to mystery, returning to mystery, without ceasing. 4. And yet, you simply abide in a quiet place within the sanctuary of the heart. 5. Join with me now in perfect peace. 6. Join with me where alone we can remember that we are together. 7. Give up all hope of directing yourself to me by taking thought. 8. Join with me in the simple understanding that of yourself you can do nothing. 9. Join with me by surrendering into the Truth of a union beyond all comprehension. 10. Settle deeply into the quiet sanctuary of the heart we share.
07:22
7 That heart is the depth and the essence of the Creator's only creation. 2. And that creation is Pure Mind, Pure Being, Pure Intelligence, the fulfillment of all wisdom, the depth of all compassion, the certainty of every purpose under Heaven. 3. Rest with me, join with me, and acknowledge that our minds are joined. 4. And as you rest, again, you might notice that thoughts seem to arise and pass away. 5. But do you not sense them, now, as though they were coming from a place where you are not, as though, you had sunk more deeply to a place of quiet beneath the surface upon which thoughts flow back and forth without ceasing?
08:59
8 Are you, then, the thoughts? 2. No, you are not. 3. Are you even the thinker of the thoughts? 4. No, you are not. 5. You are merely that quiet, and that presence, that observes all of Creation flowing through a field of awareness which is the Mind of Christ.
6. Unlimited forever, are you. 7. Unchanging forever, are you. 8. Perfectly changeless, are you. 9. And we are of one substance, one Light and one Truth. 10. Here alone does reality reside. 11. Here alone, is reality remembered. 12. Here alone, Love reigns supreme. 13. Here alone, is where you are.
10:28
9 And in this place, that is everywhere at once, and in this eternity, that embraces every moment of time, what do we discover? 2. What is it that we share? 3. It is not a body. 4. For bodies are limited, being temporary expressions of the coalescence of thought. 5. It is not the body that we can share. 6. Look yet more deeply. 7. Is it the thoughts that still dance upon the surface far above you? 8. No. 9. What is it, then, that binds us one to another, as one another? 10. Is it not the silence and the awareness of the One Who observes the arising and passing away of all created things?
11:55
10 I share with you the depth of a perfect silence. 2. I share with you a wisdom supreme. 3. I abide as you are - the thought of Love in form. 4. To be in form does not mean to be a body. 5. It means only that That Mind, which is the reality of Love's existence, truly abides within each of us equally. 6. And if this were not so, you could not recognize me. 7. And when I speak a word, or a sentence, or a paragraph that resonate within you as being the Truth, you could not know it was so, if that Truth did not already live within you as the reality of your very existence.
13:24
11 Remain with me now. 2. Heed not the call of that part of the mind that would distract you and lead you back to the illusions that comprise your world. 3. Here, there are no mates, no careers, no loss, no gain, no pain, no suffering. 4. Here alone, the Truth remains a shimmering within you. 5. Here is where I am. 6. And this Heart that we share is not contained within your body. 7. Rather, the body has emerged from within the power that resides in this Holy Place. 8. It has provided for you only a temporary learning experience.
9. It will be there when you return, should you desire it.
14:50
12 But for now, give yourself permission to rest into the Heart of all Creation - the still and silent Place Of Perfect Peace. 2. What is it that we share, if not awareness itself? 3. For here, if anyone were to look, they would see there is no difference between you and myself. 4. You are a Shimmering Field Of Awareness. 5. And that same Shimmering Field comprises the essence of All that I am.
15:45
13 And within this Awareness lies the answer to every question you might choose to ask. 2. Within this Shimmering Awareness is the reassurance that the end of the journey is certain. 3. Within this Shimmering Awareness do you abide at One with all minds and every aspect of Creation. 4. Join with me here, often, in remembrance of me. 5. For this is the secret of communion - to relinquish the perception of the world in favor of the acknowledgement of reality.
16:55
14 Mind reaches out forever, but it reaches only to Itself. 2. Therefore, every word that I share with you is already present within you. 3. Here, does Love abide, alone. 4. And there is no space for anything unlike Love. 5. This is why every loving thought is true, for it arises not from the superficial or the surface level of the mind that generates thoughts merely in reaction to other thoughts. 6. But Love emerges from the depth of the heart that transcends what you know to be your body and your mind, your feedback mechanism.
18:06
15 When you think a loving thought, you have been caressed by the touch of God.
2. When you hear not loving thoughts within yourself, this can mean only that you have returned to the surface, and have denied the depth within you. 3. If you would, then, hear only loving thoughts, simply observe where your attention is, and allow it to settle deeply into this place, beyond time, beyond the body, beyond the dream of the world. 4. For this place, the Kingdom of Heaven within you, is vast beyond comprehension. 5. The world you know, when you take your attention to the surface of the mind, is contained within it, and embraced within this Heart, like a dewdrop begins to be consumed by the ocean that receives it.
19:38
16 Here then, beloved friends, is the place of all certainty. 2. Here, the place of perfect power to fulfill the loving thoughts with which your Creator has caressed you. 3. Here, the way to fulfill each loving vision. 4. Here, the source of all wisdom upon which you can draw to recreate yourself to be the presence of Christ Incarnate. 5. Here then, is the straight and narrow path that leads unto Life. 6. For Life is beyond every concept you have ever heard, even those that I have used to communicate with you. 7. They have been like so many fingers, pointing at the moon that shines its light gently upon you. 8. That Light lives in the depth of a Silent Heart. 9. Therefore, silence is the doorway to Wisdom Divine.
21:12
17 Remain with me here. 2. Do not think on what you hear, but allow it to pour through you, knowing that the vibrations of Wisdom that these words carry will leave their trace upon you, without the least bit of effort on your part. 3. You need only be as a lover to the Mind of God - opening, allowing, receiving - taking in that which your Creator would bestow upon you. 4. Remain with me in the depth of this Perfect Silence. 5. Notice how you begin to feel a gentle spaciousness, a peace descending upon you, like a gentle dove - and yet, you have done nothing. 6. And again, should you feel your attention being pulled back to the surface of your awareness, merely choose again, and return to the quiet of the Heart.
22:47
18 I am loved: I am loving: I am lovable, forever. 2. Let this phrase be as a stairway that descends from the world of your making to the depth of Perfect Peace. 3. You need repeat it only when you notice that you've become temporarily distracted by the sights and sounds and images of the world around the body, as well as the thoughts that seem to stream and dance along the surface of what you would call the brain center. 4. I am loved: I am loving: I am lovable, forever.
23:55
19 And as you come to feel grounded, rooted in, that deep and silent place, ask whatsoever you will and its answer shall not be hidden from you. 2. Ask to witness my lifetime as I walked upon your Earth, and it will be shown you. 3. Ask to be shown the vibrational field in which you were conceived in this life; it will not be hidden from you.
4. Ask whatever you would about a friend, who perhaps has seemed troubled of late, and the source of what is occurring within them will be gently revealed to you. 5. For remember that, in this place, you are Awareness Itself, merely becoming aware of Itself. 6. And that Awareness, that Consciousness, lives equally as the essence of each and every one whom you know and love. 7. And your love of them is what binds you to them, in the depth of a quiet Awareness.
25:39
20 But as you descend the stairway to the quiet place of the Heart, there are a few things to leave behind you: the need to be right, the need to be supported in your illusions, the fear of rejection, abandonment, denial, and death. 2. Leave behind you every thought of what the world is and what it is for. 3. Leave behind you every thought you have ever held of everyone and everywhere.
26:42
21 Surrender, relinquish the world of your perceptions, and come quietly to kneel before your Creator. 2. And there, in the silent place of the Heart, unattached to whatever is given you or shown to you, nothing will be kept secret. 3. Would you know the foundations of the world? 4. The answer is here. 5. Would you know how to best direct Love to a loved one?
6. The answer is here. 7. And a Voice will speak to you, like one crying from the wilderness. 8. Pictures will be shown you, feelings enlivened within you, and you will know that way to extend your treasure.
28:08
22 Remain with me here, for here do I abide. 2. And the only difference between us is that, occasionally, you believe that you abide somewhere else. 3. And when you journey up those stairs, to begin to be distracted by the thoughts on the surface of your mind, and by the sensory feedback of the energy field that comprises your physical creation, I remain in our Shared Heart, patiently waiting for your return.
29:00
23 Remain with me here. 2. I am loved: I am loving: and I am lovable, forever. 3. This is the truth that sets me free - I Am That I Am. 4. My awareness knows no limitation and all worlds arise within me. 5. I Am That Mind, present in all beings when they descend the stairway and embrace the Truth that alone is true always. 6. Here, perfect peace. 7. Here, the recognition that nothing is lacking. 8. Here, the embrace of the fulfillment of the Love I have sought in all the wrong places. 9. Here alone, do I abide. 10. Here alone, do I remain. 11. I Am That One, existing before all worlds. 12. This alone, is the Truth about me.
13. These words are not mine, they are ours. 14. And we share in them, equally. 15. I am loved: I am loving: I am lovable, forever. 16. I Am That I Am.
31:50
24 And out of the depth of that Perfect Silence, and the remembrance of that perfect knowledge, there comes the impulse of a loving thought: Take Me into form. 2. Take Me into space and time. 3. Reveal Me to the world. 4. Your life can become, whenever you choose it to be so, merely the process of Christ's incarnation. 5. Relinquish the world, even as you walk through it. 6. Surrender it, with every breath. 7. Learn to cultivate the depth of this knowing in the midst of all activities in which the body is used as a temporary learning and teaching device.
33:08
25 Beloved friends, abide with me in this Union. 2. And regardless of what the eyes of the body show you, regardless of what the ears of the body hear, regardless of the "harmless" thoughts that seem to dance across the surface of the brain-mind, you abide where I am, in-formed by that Love from which there has been birthed the sun, the moon, and all of the stars of Heaven, the planets in their orbits, and all dimensions within our Father's Creation. 3. You can realize the incarnation of Christ by coming to dwell in the Heart of Christ, until every step and every word and every gesture flows from this deep and silent and perfect place, until Its Voice is the only One upon which you act.
34:59
26 And even as the thoughts of the world stream through your brain-mind, and even as the sensory data is received through the cellular structures of the nervous system of the body, yet you can relinquish these things, and act only from that depth of Perfect Wisdom, Perfect Safety, and Perfect Peace. 2. This is the month of your "Thanksgiving" as it is called. 3. Will it be that month in which you truly give thanks for the Grace that sets you free? 4. Will you honor that Grace by descending the stairway to the quiet places of the Heart in each of your days? 5. I am loved: I am loving: and I am lovable, forever. 6. I Am That I Am. 7. Infinite Awareness - birthless, deathless - That which embraces the dream of space and time, and looks lovingly upon all harmless and neutral events. 8. And even the body is no longer mine. 9. It merely arises and passes away, while I, the Creator of all Creation, inform it with the awareness of Perfect Forgiveness, Perfect Peace, and the fulfillment of Love. 10. Yeah, though I walk through the valleys of space and time, fear arises not within me. 11. For all good things are in my safekeeping, stored where moth and dust cannot corrupt, where thieves cannot break in to steal. 12. Here alone, is the treasure that I seek no longer because I have found!
37:55
27 Abide here with me, until the hour comes when you know that you will go out no more from our Father's Holy Place. 2. That Place is this Depth of Peace that abides wherever you are as the very Heart And Essence of your reality. 3. I am loved; I am loving; and I am lovable, forever. 4. This I give you as a divine meditation and way of prayer.
5. Perfect it! 6. Live it! 7. Drink it in! 8. Embrace it! 9. Devour it! 10. Become it! 11. For in this becoming you will merely remember what has always been true since before the arising of all worlds. 12. As a bird returns to rest in its nest, as the melting snow becomes a river that flows into the depth of a silent ocean, as the sound, the song of a flute descends gently upon your own ears - you - the creator of the notes, so too be you, therefore, wise as serpents and dissolve into this depth of the Truth of your being often, until you abide here in every where and every when.
40:20
28 And when the body steps upon the Earth, and when the vocal chords are used to form words, the touch of the foot upon the Earth will remind you of Christ's blessing. 2. And the words that shape themselves will teach only Love. 3. Here then, beloved friend, is the essence of all that I would extend to you in this day and in this hour.
41:03
29 Utilize the remainder of your time of this hour's communication to practice gently descending and ascending upon the Ladder of Awareness. 2. Give yourself permission to ascend, to notice the thoughts that stream through the mind. 3. Hear the sounds around you. 4. Feel the weight of the body in the chair where you sit, and then descend again.
5. And abiding yet a little while, then again choose to ascend. 6. Listen to the sounds around you, the beating of the physical heart. 7. Shift the weight of the body. 8. Notice the thoughts that stream through the surface of the mind. 9. Relinquish these things, and descend again, gently ascending and descending. 10. For as you do so, you will join both poles together.
11. And you will cultivate within yourself the awareness and the spiritual power necessary to be in the world but not of the world.
42:42
30 Can there be a greater accomplishment than this? 2. Can there be anything that can offer to you a greater fulfillment than to be the conduit through which Infinite Awareness and Power flows with every breath, every gesture, every spoken word - to reveal Christ to the world through you? 3. What could you ever value greater than this?
43:26
31 Enjoy, then, your hour. 2. And know that when you descend to that place of the Silent Heart within you, I will greet you and I will sit with you, in the depth of that Silence. 3. And our minds and our hearts and our souls shall merge as One. 4. And when you ascend, you take me with you. 5. And when you descend, you drink me into yourself, until finally there is no difference between us. 6. And when the world looks upon you, they will say, Behold, I am in the presence of something mysterious, something attractive, something vast and peaceful and filled with power. Surely, this is the Child of God!
44:34
32 And now, from that Mind that we share as One, I say again unto you: May peace walk with you. 2. And my blessings I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I the Voice for Christ that longs to be your voice. 3. For the world gives and takes away, but my Love is with you forever. 4. Let this Love become your very own. 5. Claim it. Own it. Taste it. Drink it. Breathe it. Walk it. Talk it. Incarnate it!
45:42
33 And though I go now, to recede into Silence, yet do I walk with you on the way that you will choose, that it might become a way that extends the treasure of your Perfect Knowledge that you are loved, that you are loving, and that you are lovable, forever. 2. That you are, indeed, That Which You Are. 3. And you cannot be anything else! 4. Gently touch each moment with what you bring from what you discover in the depth of your descension into the Heart of Christ.
46:49
34 Peace be with you always and light your way while yet you abide within the world.
2. You are, indeed, sent forth as That One who holds all power to extend the treasure of Truth. 3. Be you, therefore, That Which You Are - and you are the stars that light the heavens and bring radiance to the things of time. 4. Go you, therefore, into all the world and bless it with the Radiance of the Christ within you.
47:53
35 And if ever you need to know where you should be, descend to that Depth. 2. And when you ascend, open the eyes and bless the place you are. 3. And in this is your purpose fulfilled.
Peace be unto you always. Amen.

There is now a ten minute time for meditation practice while music plays.
58:20
36 Hello everyone, we have questions. 2. This one is from Kate Moyer from Kansas.
3. She says I would like to hear Jeshua address the following issue brought to my attention by one who does not embrace our path or beliefs. 4. This person quotes, "The message from Jeshua tends to privatize spirituality and right action. 5. One could easily forget or rationalize away one's responsibility to the poor and oppressed."
59:10
37 A: Indeed, beloved friend, it is with great joy that we come forth in this hour to address this specific question. 2. For indeed, it is a question that has been brought forth by many, many minds in many epochs. 3. For, you see, there is a tendency for the human mind to separate spirituality into two camps.
59:37
38 There have always been those that sought to separate themselves from culture, from community, from daily life, and to run off to their caves and their monasteries, in order to seek a purely interior relationship with God. 2. Now, there's nothing wrong with creating a purely interior relationship with God, since that is the Truth of your fundamental Reality.
01:00:12
39 However, when the mind holds the perception that it must separate itself from what it perceives the world to be in order to discover God, that mind is already beginning its search on a faulty premise. 2. For this means that one is still a victim of the world, and that the world holds a power to separate you from awareness of Love's presence.
01:00:51
40 Now, in the other camp, there are those who would wish to believe that genuine spirituality means constantly being engaged in finding someone to help or to fix.
2. But this, itself, is also but an expression of egoic consciousness. 3. If only I can do for others, then I will validate my worthiness - not just to myself, not just to God, but my neighbors will see all the grand works that I do. 4. So let me, indeed, rush about to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and house the cold. 5. And, of course, whenever I gather with my friends at a cocktail party, I'll let them know what I've been doing all week.
01:01:44
41 Each approach is founded in egoism. 2. Now, in the latter camp, there are those who would seek to render service to others and perceive spirituality to require sacrifice of time, of energy, of money - it doesn't matter as long as the idea of sacrifice is, shall we say, fulfilled. 3. I want to share with you that none of these approaches is genuinely what could be called spirituality.
01:02:25
42 Anyone - anyone - who has ever come into contact with what I teach, not just through this, my beloved brother, but through any of the other numbers of channels or friends with whom I am communicating with your world . . . if anyone would but read A Course in Miracles . . . if anyone would but read the sentences printed in red in their Holy Bibles (some of those are actually genuinely what I taught), they would be hard pressed to overlook the most fundamental of teachings that I've offered.
01:03:11
43 First, the greatest of gifts, the highest form of service that you can give to anyone is to assume responsibility for your underlying sense of separation from God and to rectify that mistaken perception. 2. That is where spirituality must start. 3. For, until that is accomplished, all of your doing in the world will be clouded with egoism. 4. Those who strive for peace would do well to first become established in true peace within themselves.
01:04:00
44 Those that seek to serve the hungry would do well to nourish themselves until they are filled, not with that which satisfies the body, but with that which satisfies the soul. 2. For only when the soul is brought back into perfect alignment with its established unity with God can the Wisdom of God inform that soul, that person, in which actions truly serve the highest good. 3. Without it, one will merely use ideas learned from the world and will try to be the maker and the doer of its service.
01:04:52
45 This is based on the assumption that one knows what their brother and sister needs. 2. Therefore, if you see one who is hungry and sitting on the side of the street, saying, Here, give me a few shekels of coins so that I can go and eat. If you perceived spirituality as being a duty to the oppressed, the poor, and the hungry, you would immediately look about to see what you can do for that person, based on their request. 3. And, more importantly, based on what you perceive is amiss.
01:05:33
46 But how do you know that there is something amiss because a soul has chosen to create a situation in which they have no job, no home and no friends?
2. Remember always that each mind literally creates its lived experience in this domain.
3. There is no such thing as victimization. 4. And oppression does not come from without.
5. Oppression is a perception created within that mind. 6. Anyone who looks upon the history of humanity can recognize many instances in so-called oppressive situations where individuals have simply chosen not to be oppressed, and have moved with freedom and with dignity, even into what appears to be death.
01:06:44
47 Therefore, beloved friend, understand this well: Relationship is the means to your salvation. 2. But the fundamental relationship that must be rectified, must be nourished, must be healed, must be cultivated, is your direct and immediate union with, and communication with, your Creator. 3. When this is established, the soul rests in perfect peace. 4. It has far transcended the impulse to be the doer and the maker. 5. It looks out upon a world completely forgiven: in your language "let off the hook."
01:07:33
48 One does not look out and see a world that must be saved. 2. One no longer looks out and sees a world in travail. 3. One merely becomes the servant of the extension of Love and makes no pretense that it knows beforehand what that should look like. 4. But in every moment and with every breath, that mind merely asks within, Father, what would you have me do this day? 5. How might I be of service as your plan for the Atonement is achieved in human consciousness?
01:08:13
49 One learns to listen to that Inner Voice that might very well say, I want you to establish hospices in every city in the world. 2. Begin now. 3. That same Voice might say to you, Go and sit by the park this day and forget the world. 4. Breathe deeply of the Angel of Air. 5. Let the Angels of Sound of the Running Waters fill your soul and heal your bodies.
6. Nourish yourself today. 7. Go watch a movie, play with your friends, read a good book, have a cup of tea. 8. Those that believe spirituality rests on how much service is given to the oppressed might never hear the Voice that says, Include yourself in the circle of your Love.
01:09:09
50 Therefore, enlightenment, awakening requires that all vestiges of the world mind are cast aside and one rests in that Perfect Truth which can inform perfect action, right action, through you. 2. Again, the fulcrum of what I am sharing rests on this: Without the interiorization, the process of cultivating the healing of your misperception that you've ever been separate from God, without cultivating deep Self-love - not love of ego, but love of Self - without that, the deep silence required wherein one hears the Voice of the Comforter is never achieved. 3. And only that Voice, the right-mindedness within you, can perfectly inform your actions in the world.
01:10:25
51 Therefore, he who follows me, indeed, journeys to the desert for forty days and forty nights, and leaves his friends and disciples and businesses and associates to go off and be alone for prayer, for cultivating daily the process of seeking first the Kingdom . . . that all things, including how you can be of service, might be added unto you. 2. Think not for yourself, but love the Self enough to surrender the world into God's hands. 3. And see it not as a place that needs you to fix it. 4. For, of yourself, you can do nothing. 5. I am the vine and you are the branches. 6. Remember always that, without the Christ Mind dwelling within you, that of yourself, you can do nothing. 7. And your service, though laudable in the eyes of the world, means nothing.
01:11:42
52 Kate continues by saying that I understand the path of the poor and oppressed is their path. 2. However, when and how will they understand, comprehend, that they are not victims? 3. And how can they, too, participate in embracing ascension? 4. Do we have a responsibility to bring the message, help them spiritually and physically to throw off the bonds? 5. I feel a need to share the Love. 6. How is this to be done?
01:12:15
53 A: Beloved friend, when you look upon one who you would perceive as poor, hungry or oppressed, first pause and look within yourself. 2. What part of you is feeling poor?
3. What part of you perceives yourself as hungry? 4. Where within your own being do you feel oppressed? 5. And then take steps to rectify these perceptions by healing your life of their energies. 6. When you look, then, upon another again, always cultivate first the ability to see the very essence of their soul. 7. For they are pure consciousness, pure divinity.
8. They are like a sunbeam to the sun, yet given perfect free will choice. 9. Their journey has been as long as yours and as varied. 10. Therefore, when you look upon them, see them in, and held by, the Light of God.
01:13:47
54 Why is this important? 2. It is not just mental gymnastics. 3. For, as you see another, you will see yourself. 4. And as you see yourself, so, too, will your brother come to see you.
5. If you wish to help another be lifted up out of their misperception that suffering is a requirement, then be you, therefore, committed to being the embodiment of one who has awakened to the Truth and lives it, who breathes it, who acts it, who thinks it, who talks it without ceasing!
01:14:37
55 Now, when will they come, those that you perceive to be oppressed? 2. And rest assured, in any given moment, when you look upon one who's sitting by the wall on the sidewalk with a little tin cup, saying, I need some money, - you need only go within and ask the Holy Spirit, Is it appropriate, now, for me to render any form of service to this, my brother or sister? 3. The answer will not be hidden from you.
01:15:12
56 Again, that returns us to the point of not thinking for yourself. 2. But turning all decision over to the one Teacher and Guide given unto you, the bridge between the Love of the Father and the place of your soul: the Holy Spirit. 3. When will they arise from their slumber? 4. Beloved friend, when did you arise from yours? 5. You may not remember that hour and that day, but there was a moment from within your consciousness - it may not even have been in this incarnation - when something changed, and a decision was made not to accept limitation, not to accept the pain and the guilt of perceiving yourself as separate from the Source of your creation.
01:16:16
57 Therefore, know well that you, no one, not even I, can force another to arise.
2. And no one can do it for another. 3. You can, of course, listen to the Comforter's guidance, so that Love is extended through you appropriately in each and every moment.
4. And then, release yourself from being attached to that extension, whatever it may be - whether it be a golden coin, or a meal, or a new Mercedes. 5. It doesn't matter. 6. It might be just a gentle smile. 7. For as you choose to extend Love, by first abiding in the Reality that you are the presence of Love, having been made in God's image, you provide for your brother or sister the opportunity to recognize the presence of Love and decide anew for him or herself.
01:17:30
58 And if you're guided to feed them, then prepare them a meal. 2. Let them eat it, but be not attached to the fruit of that meal. 3. See their essence, love them, and live your life in fulfillment. 4. Far too many seek to assist others when all it does is truly oppress them, because it does not empower them to take responsibility for the choices that they have made and the effects that have come from them.
01:08:07
59 Do not just give money indiscriminately to those that say, Oh, I'm broke. 2. Do you have an extra $5? 3. Go within and ask, Am I just in my neediness to be a helper and a fixer? 4. Can I surrender this and just ask Holy Spirit, "What would you have me do or say? 5. I am completely unattached to my need to be of service."
01:18:36
60 When will they arise and know ascension? 2. When they decide to, just like you did. 3. And how can you extend Love? 3. Beloved friend, by giving that Love first to yourself.
4. For, if you are not fed deeply, you cannot feed another. 5. Therefore, lay up for yourselves treasures which are in Heaven. 6. That is, cultivate higher consciousness.
7. Cleanse and purify your communication device, the body. 8. Make it as radiant and as beautiful and as healthy as you wish it to be. 9. Create abundance in your own life. 10. Feel rich and wealthy in God's Love, so that your cup can organically and naturally overflow.
01:19:37
61 If there are two that are hungry, it is wise that one arise and learn to feed themselves. 2. Then the Holy Spirit can use your gifts, use your power, to assist in genuine service to others.
01:20:01
62 This question from Christen from California. 2. Jeshua, how does one teach a young child peace and Love when they're acting out their fear and anger?
01:20:18
63 A: Beloved friend, this could, indeed, be a whole year's tape series in itself.
2. However, for the sake of this hour, we would say this unto you: Remember well that when you perceive a child acting out their anger, their fear, whatever it may be, first ask yourself: Are you sure it's theirs, just because it is being expressed where their body seems to be?
3. For be of assuredness, that children come into this world sparkling clean. 4. They are very clear - very clear and very, very sensitive. 5. Therefore, if there are emotions that the parents are not dealing with within themselves, if there is lack of communication between the parents, if there is anger that has been repressed in the mother or the father, then indeed, the child will know it, and often will begin to unconsciously act it out, since nobody else is bothering to, shall we say, "clear the decks" and be honest. 6. Therefore first ask yourself: How do you know it's their anger? 7. Ask the Holy Spirit, What is the source of this? 8. The answer will not be hidden.
01:21:59
64 Now, how to help them? 2. Where you perceive anger in another, first make sure that you are clear of anger within yourself. 3. Then, as you look upon the child, remember that that child is perfectly free now. 4. Ask of yourself: Does their anger, their acting out, push your buttons? 5. Can you give them the space and the freedom to act out that anger, to move that energy in a way that is healthful and helpful? 6. Can you allow them to do so? 7. And convey to them that, This looks like fun! Maybe I'll join you!
01:22:51
65 And start to move your body the way they're moving their body. 2. Make the sounds that they are making. 3. And tell them straight out like an adult. 4. Stop talking gibberish to children, for they are as old as you are the moment they are born. 5. Tell them in perfectly clear adult language, Anger is perfectly okay. 6. Let's get into it and see how it feels in the body. 7. Have fun with it. 8. Make it as charged as possible. 9. And you will find that, in a very short moment, the anger will shift, and the children will begin to feel a sense of play.
10. For they will know that they have been accepted, and that there is nothing wrong with them the way that they are.11. Just because they don't conform to adult perceptions does not make them wrong.
01:23:51
66 How, then, do you teach them of peace? 2. By being peace yourself. 3. How, then, do you teach them to cultivate peace? 4. By not hiding from them your own emotions, by living honestly - not hurtfully, but honestly. 5. Yes, I'm feeling angry right now! 6. It makes my stomach tight and my shoulders crinkle up into my ears. 7. It makes my knuckles get white. 8. And I just want to stamp my feet!" 9. Well, do it right there in front of the child!
10. And, as you start to feel better, you can smile and say, See how easy it is? 11. I think I'll just be at peace now. 12. Therefore, always remember that the greatest of gifts you can give to a child is to be the living embodiment and model of one who does not deny or repress their humanity.
01:24:46
67 Beloved friend, each relationship is a teaching and learning relationship.
2. Therefore, when a child seems to be acting out their anger, first give them the space to do it, and observe the child. 3. How do they move their body? 4. Do they just live in their head?
5. Or is their whole being involved in it? 6. What can you learn from the child?
01:25:19
68 And when the anger has subsided, always, always, always wrap your arms around them, at least metaphorically. 2. Let them know that you love them. 3. Let them know they're okay. 4. Let them know that yes, you, too, know that sometimes it's a little hard to be in the world and that you thank them for being present in your life, because you are committed to learning from them as much as you are committed to teaching them.
01:25:55
69 Cease - everyone that could hear these words upon your planet - cease treating children like second class, incapable people. 2. Their consciousness is clear and bright!
3. Talk to them like an adult. 4. Live like a mature adult in your relationships with them.
5. Give this a try, beloved friend. 6. There is much here for you, if you will but cultivate the treasure within these words.
01:26:37
70 OK that’s all for this tape. Just want to thank you all for your support this year and wish you all a blessed wonderful warm holiday season. Yes word about your coming next week, we are very excited for that and for the rest of you, you will be in our hearts and so drink in energy. So lots of love by by.

________________________________________
Now, we begin.
1 Indeed, greetings unto you, beloved friends. 2. Join with me in this moment. 3. Join with me in this hour. 4. Join with me in the place where, alone, two minds can join. 5. For the body cannot bring you to where I am, as it cannot bring you to where your beloved is.
6. Join with me, then, in the silent place of the Heart in which all wisdom already abides.
7. Join with me, then, in this moment, in the place prepared for us of our Creator, before time is.
01:21
2 Join with me, by choosing now to allow your attention to relax from the things of the world. 2. Allow the eyes to gently close, as a symbol of your willingness to set aside your involvement with, and your attachment to, the things of this created world. 3. Join with me, by allowing the body to be set free. 4. This requires only that you make no demands upon it. 5. Indeed, let it settle in, as though it were becoming again the dust of the ground from which it came.
02:24
3 Join with me, as you let your attention recede from the world around you. 2. Begin to notice the thoughts that seem to stream through the mind. 3. Join with me by moving ever yet deeper, as though you were allowing your attention to settle down, down, into the Heart. 4. And as the thoughts would seem to stream through the mind, can you tell from whence they've come? 5. Can you tell where they've gone? 6. They arise in a moment and fade away in a moment, while you continue to relinquish your attachment to all things of the world.
03:44
4 Verily I say unto you, even the thoughts that arise and stream through the mind ceaselessly, are of the world. 2. Settle down, then, abiding in the gentle quiet of the heart.
3. You do not cause the physical heart to beat and send the blood through the body.
4. It simply knows, and it does. 5. You do not cause the breath to flow through the body.
6. It arises and passes away. 7. It does not require your attention.
04:38
5 And in this moment, is it you that keeps the stars in the sky above you? 2. Is it you that keeps your beautiful planet, your Earth, spinning, hurtling through space, around and around your central Sun, never deviating very much at all from the same orbit it's been in since its creation? 3. Must you attend to the quiet unseen way in which the flowers outside your window are growing? 4. Can you hear the sound of the grass as it grows?
05:28
6 Somewhere, in this very moment, a child has been birthed. 2. Are you aware of it?
3. Indeed, all of Creation continues to go on, an eternal dance, mystery giving birth to mystery, returning to mystery, without ceasing. 4. And yet, you simply abide in a quiet place within the sanctuary of the heart. 5. Join with me now in perfect peace. 6. Join with me where alone we can remember that we are together. 7. Give up all hope of directing yourself to me by taking thought. 8. Join with me in the simple understanding that of yourself you can do nothing. 9. Join with me by surrendering into the Truth of a union beyond all comprehension. 10. Settle deeply into the quiet sanctuary of the heart we share.
07:22
7 That heart is the depth and the essence of the Creator's only creation. 2. And that creation is Pure Mind, Pure Being, Pure Intelligence, the fulfillment of all wisdom, the depth of all compassion, the certainty of every purpose under Heaven. 3. Rest with me, join with me, and acknowledge that our minds are joined. 4. And as you rest, again, you might notice that thoughts seem to arise and pass away. 5. But do you not sense them, now, as though they were coming from a place where you are not, as though, you had sunk more deeply to a place of quiet beneath the surface upon which thoughts flow back and forth without ceasing?
08:59
8 Are you, then, the thoughts? 2. No, you are not. 3. Are you even the thinker of the thoughts? 4. No, you are not. 5. You are merely that quiet, and that presence, that observes all of Creation flowing through a field of awareness which is the Mind of Christ.
6. Unlimited forever, are you. 7. Unchanging forever, are you. 8. Perfectly changeless, are you. 9. And we are of one substance, one Light and one Truth. 10. Here alone does reality reside. 11. Here alone, is reality remembered. 12. Here alone, Love reigns supreme. 13. Here alone, is where you are.
10:28
9 And in this place, that is everywhere at once, and in this eternity, that embraces every moment of time, what do we discover? 2. What is it that we share? 3. It is not a body. 4. For bodies are limited, being temporary expressions of the coalescence of thought. 5. It is not the body that we can share. 6. Look yet more deeply. 7. Is it the thoughts that still dance upon the surface far above you? 8. No. 9. What is it, then, that binds us one to another, as one another? 10. Is it not the silence and the awareness of the One Who observes the arising and passing away of all created things?
11:55
10 I share with you the depth of a perfect silence. 2. I share with you a wisdom supreme. 3. I abide as you are - the thought of Love in form. 4. To be in form does not mean to be a body. 5. It means only that That Mind, which is the reality of Love's existence, truly abides within each of us equally. 6. And if this were not so, you could not recognize me. 7. And when I speak a word, or a sentence, or a paragraph that resonate within you as being the Truth, you could not know it was so, if that Truth did not already live within you as the reality of your very existence.
13:24
11 Remain with me now. 2. Heed not the call of that part of the mind that would distract you and lead you back to the illusions that comprise your world. 3. Here, there are no mates, no careers, no loss, no gain, no pain, no suffering. 4. Here alone, the Truth remains a shimmering within you. 5. Here is where I am. 6. And this Heart that we share is not contained within your body. 7. Rather, the body has emerged from within the power that resides in this Holy Place. 8. It has provided for you only a temporary learning experience.
9. It will be there when you return, should you desire it.
14:50
12 But for now, give yourself permission to rest into the Heart of all Creation - the still and silent Place Of Perfect Peace. 2. What is it that we share, if not awareness itself? 3. For here, if anyone were to look, they would see there is no difference between you and myself. 4. You are a Shimmering Field Of Awareness. 5. And that same Shimmering Field comprises the essence of All that I am.
15:45
13 And within this Awareness lies the answer to every question you might choose to ask. 2. Within this Shimmering Awareness is the reassurance that the end of the journey is certain. 3. Within this Shimmering Awareness do you abide at One with all minds and every aspect of Creation. 4. Join with me here, often, in remembrance of me. 5. For this is the secret of communion - to relinquish the perception of the world in favor of the acknowledgement of reality.
16:55
14 Mind reaches out forever, but it reaches only to Itself. 2. Therefore, every word that I share with you is already present within you. 3. Here, does Love abide, alone. 4. And there is no space for anything unlike Love. 5. This is why every loving thought is true, for it arises not from the superficial or the surface level of the mind that generates thoughts merely in reaction to other thoughts. 6. But Love emerges from the depth of the heart that transcends what you know to be your body and your mind, your feedback mechanism.
18:06
15 When you think a loving thought, you have been caressed by the touch of God.
2. When you hear not loving thoughts within yourself, this can mean only that you have returned to the surface, and have denied the depth within you. 3. If you would, then, hear only loving thoughts, simply observe where your attention is, and allow it to settle deeply into this place, beyond time, beyond the body, beyond the dream of the world. 4. For this place, the Kingdom of Heaven within you, is vast beyond comprehension. 5. The world you know, when you take your attention to the surface of the mind, is contained within it, and embraced within this Heart, like a dewdrop begins to be consumed by the ocean that receives it.
19:38
16 Here then, beloved friends, is the place of all certainty. 2. Here, the place of perfect power to fulfill the loving thoughts with which your Creator has caressed you. 3. Here, the way to fulfill each loving vision. 4. Here, the source of all wisdom upon which you can draw to recreate yourself to be the presence of Christ Incarnate. 5. Here then, is the straight and narrow path that leads unto Life. 6. For Life is beyond every concept you have ever heard, even those that I have used to communicate with you. 7. They have been like so many fingers, pointing at the moon that shines its light gently upon you. 8. That Light lives in the depth of a Silent Heart. 9. Therefore, silence is the doorway to Wisdom Divine.
21:12
17 Remain with me here. 2. Do not think on what you hear, but allow it to pour through you, knowing that the vibrations of Wisdom that these words carry will leave their trace upon you, without the least bit of effort on your part. 3. You need only be as a lover to the Mind of God - opening, allowing, receiving - taking in that which your Creator would bestow upon you. 4. Remain with me in the depth of this Perfect Silence. 5. Notice how you begin to feel a gentle spaciousness, a peace descending upon you, like a gentle dove - and yet, you have done nothing. 6. And again, should you feel your attention being pulled back to the surface of your awareness, merely choose again, and return to the quiet of the Heart.
22:47
18 I am loved: I am loving: I am lovable, forever. 2. Let this phrase be as a stairway that descends from the world of your making to the depth of Perfect Peace. 3. You need repeat it only when you notice that you've become temporarily distracted by the sights and sounds and images of the world around the body, as well as the thoughts that seem to stream and dance along the surface of what you would call the brain center. 4. I am loved: I am loving: I am lovable, forever.
23:55
19 And as you come to feel grounded, rooted in, that deep and silent place, ask whatsoever you will and its answer shall not be hidden from you. 2. Ask to witness my lifetime as I walked upon your Earth, and it will be shown you. 3. Ask to be shown the vibrational field in which you were conceived in this life; it will not be hidden from you.
4. Ask whatever you would about a friend, who perhaps has seemed troubled of late, and the source of what is occurring within them will be gently revealed to you. 5. For remember that, in this place, you are Awareness Itself, merely becoming aware of Itself. 6. And that Awareness, that Consciousness, lives equally as the essence of each and every one whom you know and love. 7. And your love of them is what binds you to them, in the depth of a quiet Awareness.
25:39
20 But as you descend the stairway to the quiet place of the Heart, there are a few things to leave behind you: the need to be right, the need to be supported in your illusions, the fear of rejection, abandonment, denial, and death. 2. Leave behind you every thought of what the world is and what it is for. 3. Leave behind you every thought you have ever held of everyone and everywhere.
26:42
21 Surrender, relinquish the world of your perceptions, and come quietly to kneel before your Creator. 2. And there, in the silent place of the Heart, unattached to whatever is given you or shown to you, nothing will be kept secret. 3. Would you know the foundations of the world? 4. The answer is here. 5. Would you know how to best direct Love to a loved one?
6. The answer is here. 7. And a Voice will speak to you, like one crying from the wilderness. 8. Pictures will be shown you, feelings enlivened within you, and you will know that way to extend your treasure.
28:08
22 Remain with me here, for here do I abide. 2. And the only difference between us is that, occasionally, you believe that you abide somewhere else. 3. And when you journey up those stairs, to begin to be distracted by the thoughts on the surface of your mind, and by the sensory feedback of the energy field that comprises your physical creation, I remain in our Shared Heart, patiently waiting for your return.
29:00
23 Remain with me here. 2. I am loved: I am loving: and I am lovable, forever. 3. This is the truth that sets me free - I Am That I Am. 4. My awareness knows no limitation and all worlds arise within me. 5. I Am That Mind, present in all beings when they descend the stairway and embrace the Truth that alone is true always. 6. Here, perfect peace. 7. Here, the recognition that nothing is lacking. 8. Here, the embrace of the fulfillment of the Love I have sought in all the wrong places. 9. Here alone, do I abide. 10. Here alone, do I remain. 11. I Am That One, existing before all worlds. 12. This alone, is the Truth about me.
13. These words are not mine, they are ours. 14. And we share in them, equally. 15. I am loved: I am loving: I am lovable, forever. 16. I Am That I Am.
31:50
24 And out of the depth of that Perfect Silence, and the remembrance of that perfect knowledge, there comes the impulse of a loving thought: Take Me into form. 2. Take Me into space and time. 3. Reveal Me to the world. 4. Your life can become, whenever you choose it to be so, merely the process of Christ's incarnation. 5. Relinquish the world, even as you walk through it. 6. Surrender it, with every breath. 7. Learn to cultivate the depth of this knowing in the midst of all activities in which the body is used as a temporary learning and teaching device.
33:08
25 Beloved friends, abide with me in this Union. 2. And regardless of what the eyes of the body show you, regardless of what the ears of the body hear, regardless of the "harmless" thoughts that seem to dance across the surface of the brain-mind, you abide where I am, in-formed by that Love from which there has been birthed the sun, the moon, and all of the stars of Heaven, the planets in their orbits, and all dimensions within our Father's Creation. 3. You can realize the incarnation of Christ by coming to dwell in the Heart of Christ, until every step and every word and every gesture flows from this deep and silent and perfect place, until Its Voice is the only One upon which you act.
34:59
26 And even as the thoughts of the world stream through your brain-mind, and even as the sensory data is received through the cellular structures of the nervous system of the body, yet you can relinquish these things, and act only from that depth of Perfect Wisdom, Perfect Safety, and Perfect Peace. 2. This is the month of your "Thanksgiving" as it is called. 3. Will it be that month in which you truly give thanks for the Grace that sets you free? 4. Will you honor that Grace by descending the stairway to the quiet places of the Heart in each of your days? 5. I am loved: I am loving: and I am lovable, forever. 6. I Am That I Am. 7. Infinite Awareness - birthless, deathless - That which embraces the dream of space and time, and looks lovingly upon all harmless and neutral events. 8. And even the body is no longer mine. 9. It merely arises and passes away, while I, the Creator of all Creation, inform it with the awareness of Perfect Forgiveness, Perfect Peace, and the fulfillment of Love. 10. Yeah, though I walk through the valleys of space and time, fear arises not within me. 11. For all good things are in my safekeeping, stored where moth and dust cannot corrupt, where thieves cannot break in to steal. 12. Here alone, is the treasure that I seek no longer because I have found!
37:55
27 Abide here with me, until the hour comes when you know that you will go out no more from our Father's Holy Place. 2. That Place is this Depth of Peace that abides wherever you are as the very Heart And Essence of your reality. 3. I am loved; I am loving; and I am lovable, forever. 4. This I give you as a divine meditation and way of prayer.
5. Perfect it! 6. Live it! 7. Drink it in! 8. Embrace it! 9. Devour it! 10. Become it! 11. For in this becoming you will merely remember what has always been true since before the arising of all worlds. 12. As a bird returns to rest in its nest, as the melting snow becomes a river that flows into the depth of a silent ocean, as the sound, the song of a flute descends gently upon your own ears - you - the creator of the notes, so too be you, therefore, wise as serpents and dissolve into this depth of the Truth of your being often, until you abide here in every where and every when.
40:20
28 And when the body steps upon the Earth, and when the vocal chords are used to form words, the touch of the foot upon the Earth will remind you of Christ's blessing. 2. And the words that shape themselves will teach only Love. 3. Here then, beloved friend, is the essence of all that I would extend to you in this day and in this hour.
41:03
29 Utilize the remainder of your time of this hour's communication to practice gently descending and ascending upon the Ladder of Awareness. 2. Give yourself permission to ascend, to notice the thoughts that stream through the mind. 3. Hear the sounds around you. 4. Feel the weight of the body in the chair where you sit, and then descend again.
5. And abiding yet a little while, then again choose to ascend. 6. Listen to the sounds around you, the beating of the physical heart. 7. Shift the weight of the body. 8. Notice the thoughts that stream through the surface of the mind. 9. Relinquish these things, and descend again, gently ascending and descending. 10. For as you do so, you will join both poles together.
11. And you will cultivate within yourself the awareness and the spiritual power necessary to be in the world but not of the world.
42:42
30 Can there be a greater accomplishment than this? 2. Can there be anything that can offer to you a greater fulfillment than to be the conduit through which Infinite Awareness and Power flows with every breath, every gesture, every spoken word - to reveal Christ to the world through you? 3. What could you ever value greater than this?
43:26
31 Enjoy, then, your hour. 2. And know that when you descend to that place of the Silent Heart within you, I will greet you and I will sit with you, in the depth of that Silence. 3. And our minds and our hearts and our souls shall merge as One. 4. And when you ascend, you take me with you. 5. And when you descend, you drink me into yourself, until finally there is no difference between us. 6. And when the world looks upon you, they will say, Behold, I am in the presence of something mysterious, something attractive, something vast and peaceful and filled with power. Surely, this is the Child of God!
44:34
32 And now, from that Mind that we share as One, I say again unto you: May peace walk with you. 2. And my blessings I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I the Voice for Christ that longs to be your voice. 3. For the world gives and takes away, but my Love is with you forever. 4. Let this Love become your very own. 5. Claim it. Own it. Taste it. Drink it. Breathe it. Walk it. Talk it. Incarnate it!
45:42
33 And though I go now, to recede into Silence, yet do I walk with you on the way that you will choose, that it might become a way that extends the treasure of your Perfect Knowledge that you are loved, that you are loving, and that you are lovable, forever. 2. That you are, indeed, That Which You Are. 3. And you cannot be anything else! 4. Gently touch each moment with what you bring from what you discover in the depth of your descension into the Heart of Christ.
46:49
34 Peace be with you always and light your way while yet you abide within the world.
2. You are, indeed, sent forth as That One who holds all power to extend the treasure of Truth. 3. Be you, therefore, That Which You Are - and you are the stars that light the heavens and bring radiance to the things of time. 4. Go you, therefore, into all the world and bless it with the Radiance of the Christ within you.
47:53
35 And if ever you need to know where you should be, descend to that Depth. 2. And when you ascend, open the eyes and bless the place you are. 3. And in this is your purpose fulfilled.
Peace be unto you always. Amen.

There is now a ten minute time for meditation practice while music plays.
58:20
36 Hello everyone, we have questions. 2. This one is from Kate Moyer from Kansas.
3. She says I would like to hear Jeshua address the following issue brought to my attention by one who does not embrace our path or beliefs. 4. This person quotes, "The message from Jeshua tends to privatize spirituality and right action. 5. One could easily forget or rationalize away one's responsibility to the poor and oppressed."
59:10
37 A: Indeed, beloved friend, it is with great joy that we come forth in this hour to address this specific question. 2. For indeed, it is a question that has been brought forth by many, many minds in many epochs. 3. For, you see, there is a tendency for the human mind to separate spirituality into two camps.
59:37
38 There have always been those that sought to separate themselves from culture, from community, from daily life, and to run off to their caves and their monasteries, in order to seek a purely interior relationship with God. 2. Now, there's nothing wrong with creating a purely interior relationship with God, since that is the Truth of your fundamental Reality.
01:00:12
39 However, when the mind holds the perception that it must separate itself from what it perceives the world to be in order to discover God, that mind is already beginning its search on a faulty premise. 2. For this means that one is still a victim of the world, and that the world holds a power to separate you from awareness of Love's presence.
01:00:51
40 Now, in the other camp, there are those who would wish to believe that genuine spirituality means constantly being engaged in finding someone to help or to fix.
2. But this, itself, is also but an expression of egoic consciousness. 3. If only I can do for others, then I will validate my worthiness - not just to myself, not just to God, but my neighbors will see all the grand works that I do. 4. So let me, indeed, rush about to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and house the cold. 5. And, of course, whenever I gather with my friends at a cocktail party, I'll let them know what I've been doing all week.
01:01:44
41 Each approach is founded in egoism. 2. Now, in the latter camp, there are those who would seek to render service to others and perceive spirituality to require sacrifice of time, of energy, of money - it doesn't matter as long as the idea of sacrifice is, shall we say, fulfilled. 3. I want to share with you that none of these approaches is genuinely what could be called spirituality.
01:02:25
42 Anyone - anyone - who has ever come into contact with what I teach, not just through this, my beloved brother, but through any of the other numbers of channels or friends with whom I am communicating with your world . . . if anyone would but read A Course in Miracles . . . if anyone would but read the sentences printed in red in their Holy Bibles (some of those are actually genuinely what I taught), they would be hard pressed to overlook the most fundamental of teachings that I've offered.
01:03:11
43 First, the greatest of gifts, the highest form of service that you can give to anyone is to assume responsibility for your underlying sense of separation from God and to rectify that mistaken perception. 2. That is where spirituality must start. 3. For, until that is accomplished, all of your doing in the world will be clouded with egoism. 4. Those who strive for peace would do well to first become established in true peace within themselves.
01:04:00
44 Those that seek to serve the hungry would do well to nourish themselves until they are filled, not with that which satisfies the body, but with that which satisfies the soul. 2. For only when the soul is brought back into perfect alignment with its established unity with God can the Wisdom of God inform that soul, that person, in which actions truly serve the highest good. 3. Without it, one will merely use ideas learned from the world and will try to be the maker and the doer of its service.
01:04:52
45 This is based on the assumption that one knows what their brother and sister needs. 2. Therefore, if you see one who is hungry and sitting on the side of the street, saying, Here, give me a few shekels of coins so that I can go and eat. If you perceived spirituality as being a duty to the oppressed, the poor, and the hungry, you would immediately look about to see what you can do for that person, based on their request. 3. And, more importantly, based on what you perceive is amiss.
01:05:33
46 But how do you know that there is something amiss because a soul has chosen to create a situation in which they have no job, no home and no friends?
2. Remember always that each mind literally creates its lived experience in this domain.
3. There is no such thing as victimization. 4. And oppression does not come from without.
5. Oppression is a perception created within that mind. 6. Anyone who looks upon the history of humanity can recognize many instances in so-called oppressive situations where individuals have simply chosen not to be oppressed, and have moved with freedom and with dignity, even into what appears to be death.
01:06:44
47 Therefore, beloved friend, understand this well: Relationship is the means to your salvation. 2. But the fundamental relationship that must be rectified, must be nourished, must be healed, must be cultivated, is your direct and immediate union with, and communication with, your Creator. 3. When this is established, the soul rests in perfect peace. 4. It has far transcended the impulse to be the doer and the maker. 5. It looks out upon a world completely forgiven: in your language "let off the hook."
01:07:33
48 One does not look out and see a world that must be saved. 2. One no longer looks out and sees a world in travail. 3. One merely becomes the servant of the extension of Love and makes no pretense that it knows beforehand what that should look like. 4. But in every moment and with every breath, that mind merely asks within, Father, what would you have me do this day? 5. How might I be of service as your plan for the Atonement is achieved in human consciousness?
01:08:13
49 One learns to listen to that Inner Voice that might very well say, I want you to establish hospices in every city in the world. 2. Begin now. 3. That same Voice might say to you, Go and sit by the park this day and forget the world. 4. Breathe deeply of the Angel of Air. 5. Let the Angels of Sound of the Running Waters fill your soul and heal your bodies.
6. Nourish yourself today. 7. Go watch a movie, play with your friends, read a good book, have a cup of tea. 8. Those that believe spirituality rests on how much service is given to the oppressed might never hear the Voice that says, Include yourself in the circle of your Love.
01:09:09
50 Therefore, enlightenment, awakening requires that all vestiges of the world mind are cast aside and one rests in that Perfect Truth which can inform perfect action, right action, through you. 2. Again, the fulcrum of what I am sharing rests on this: Without the interiorization, the process of cultivating the healing of your misperception that you've ever been separate from God, without cultivating deep Self-love - not love of ego, but love of Self - without that, the deep silence required wherein one hears the Voice of the Comforter is never achieved. 3. And only that Voice, the right-mindedness within you, can perfectly inform your actions in the world.
01:10:25
51 Therefore, he who follows me, indeed, journeys to the desert for forty days and forty nights, and leaves his friends and disciples and businesses and associates to go off and be alone for prayer, for cultivating daily the process of seeking first the Kingdom . . . that all things, including how you can be of service, might be added unto you. 2. Think not for yourself, but love the Self enough to surrender the world into God's hands. 3. And see it not as a place that needs you to fix it. 4. For, of yourself, you can do nothing. 5. I am the vine and you are the branches. 6. Remember always that, without the Christ Mind dwelling within you, that of yourself, you can do nothing. 7. And your service, though laudable in the eyes of the world, means nothing.
01:11:42
52 Kate continues by saying that I understand the path of the poor and oppressed is their path. 2. However, when and how will they understand, comprehend, that they are not victims? 3. And how can they, too, participate in embracing ascension? 4. Do we have a responsibility to bring the message, help them spiritually and physically to throw off the bonds? 5. I feel a need to share the Love. 6. How is this to be done?
01:12:15
53 A: Beloved friend, when you look upon one who you would perceive as poor, hungry or oppressed, first pause and look within yourself. 2. What part of you is feeling poor?
3. What part of you perceives yourself as hungry? 4. Where within your own being do you feel oppressed? 5. And then take steps to rectify these perceptions by healing your life of their energies. 6. When you look, then, upon another again, always cultivate first the ability to see the very essence of their soul. 7. For they are pure consciousness, pure divinity.
8. They are like a sunbeam to the sun, yet given perfect free will choice. 9. Their journey has been as long as yours and as varied. 10. Therefore, when you look upon them, see them in, and held by, the Light of God.
01:13:47
54 Why is this important? 2. It is not just mental gymnastics. 3. For, as you see another, you will see yourself. 4. And as you see yourself, so, too, will your brother come to see you.
5. If you wish to help another be lifted up out of their misperception that suffering is a requirement, then be you, therefore, committed to being the embodiment of one who has awakened to the Truth and lives it, who breathes it, who acts it, who thinks it, who talks it without ceasing!
01:14:37
55 Now, when will they come, those that you perceive to be oppressed? 2. And rest assured, in any given moment, when you look upon one who's sitting by the wall on the sidewalk with a little tin cup, saying, I need some money, - you need only go within and ask the Holy Spirit, Is it appropriate, now, for me to render any form of service to this, my brother or sister? 3. The answer will not be hidden from you.
01:15:12
56 Again, that returns us to the point of not thinking for yourself. 2. But turning all decision over to the one Teacher and Guide given unto you, the bridge between the Love of the Father and the place of your soul: the Holy Spirit. 3. When will they arise from their slumber? 4. Beloved friend, when did you arise from yours? 5. You may not remember that hour and that day, but there was a moment from within your consciousness - it may not even have been in this incarnation - when something changed, and a decision was made not to accept limitation, not to accept the pain and the guilt of perceiving yourself as separate from the Source of your creation.
01:16:16
57 Therefore, know well that you, no one, not even I, can force another to arise.
2. And no one can do it for another. 3. You can, of course, listen to the Comforter's guidance, so that Love is extended through you appropriately in each and every moment.
4. And then, release yourself from being attached to that extension, whatever it may be - whether it be a golden coin, or a meal, or a new Mercedes. 5. It doesn't matter. 6. It might be just a gentle smile. 7. For as you choose to extend Love, by first abiding in the Reality that you are the presence of Love, having been made in God's image, you provide for your brother or sister the opportunity to recognize the presence of Love and decide anew for him or herself.
01:17:30
58 And if you're guided to feed them, then prepare them a meal. 2. Let them eat it, but be not attached to the fruit of that meal. 3. See their essence, love them, and live your life in fulfillment. 4. Far too many seek to assist others when all it does is truly oppress them, because it does not empower them to take responsibility for the choices that they have made and the effects that have come from them.
01:08:07
59 Do not just give money indiscriminately to those that say, Oh, I'm broke. 2. Do you have an extra $5? 3. Go within and ask, Am I just in my neediness to be a helper and a fixer? 4. Can I surrender this and just ask Holy Spirit, "What would you have me do or say? 5. I am completely unattached to my need to be of service."
01:18:36
60 When will they arise and know ascension? 2. When they decide to, just like you did. 3. And how can you extend Love? 3. Beloved friend, by giving that Love first to yourself.
4. For, if you are not fed deeply, you cannot feed another. 5. Therefore, lay up for yourselves treasures which are in Heaven. 6. That is, cultivate higher consciousness.
7. Cleanse and purify your communication device, the body. 8. Make it as radiant and as beautiful and as healthy as you wish it to be. 9. Create abundance in your own life. 10. Feel rich and wealthy in God's Love, so that your cup can organically and naturally overflow.
01:19:37
61 If there are two that are hungry, it is wise that one arise and learn to feed themselves. 2. Then the Holy Spirit can use your gifts, use your power, to assist in genuine service to others.
01:20:01
62 This question from Christen from California. 2. Jeshua, how does one teach a young child peace and Love when they're acting out their fear and anger?
01:20:18
63 A: Beloved friend, this could, indeed, be a whole year's tape series in itself.
2. However, for the sake of this hour, we would say this unto you: Remember well that when you perceive a child acting out their anger, their fear, whatever it may be, first ask yourself: Are you sure it's theirs, just because it is being expressed where their body seems to be?
3. For be of assuredness, that children come into this world sparkling clean. 4. They are very clear - very clear and very, very sensitive. 5. Therefore, if there are emotions that the parents are not dealing with within themselves, if there is lack of communication between the parents, if there is anger that has been repressed in the mother or the father, then indeed, the child will know it, and often will begin to unconsciously act it out, since nobody else is bothering to, shall we say, "clear the decks" and be honest. 6. Therefore first ask yourself: How do you know it's their anger? 7. Ask the Holy Spirit, What is the source of this? 8. The answer will not be hidden.
01:21:59
64 Now, how to help them? 2. Where you perceive anger in another, first make sure that you are clear of anger within yourself. 3. Then, as you look upon the child, remember that that child is perfectly free now. 4. Ask of yourself: Does their anger, their acting out, push your buttons? 5. Can you give them the space and the freedom to act out that anger, to move that energy in a way that is healthful and helpful? 6. Can you allow them to do so? 7. And convey to them that, This looks like fun! Maybe I'll join you!
01:22:51
65 And start to move your body the way they're moving their body. 2. Make the sounds that they are making. 3. And tell them straight out like an adult. 4. Stop talking gibberish to children, for they are as old as you are the moment they are born. 5. Tell them in perfectly clear adult language, Anger is perfectly okay. 6. Let's get into it and see how it feels in the body. 7. Have fun with it. 8. Make it as charged as possible. 9. And you will find that, in a very short moment, the anger will shift, and the children will begin to feel a sense of play.
10. For they will know that they have been accepted, and that there is nothing wrong with them the way that they are.11. Just because they don't conform to adult perceptions does not make them wrong.
01:23:51
66 How, then, do you teach them of peace? 2. By being peace yourself. 3. How, then, do you teach them to cultivate peace? 4. By not hiding from them your own emotions, by living honestly - not hurtfully, but honestly. 5. Yes, I'm feeling angry right now! 6. It makes my stomach tight and my shoulders crinkle up into my ears. 7. It makes my knuckles get white. 8. And I just want to stamp my feet!" 9. Well, do it right there in front of the child!
10. And, as you start to feel better, you can smile and say, See how easy it is? 11. I think I'll just be at peace now. 12. Therefore, always remember that the greatest of gifts you can give to a child is to be the living embodiment and model of one who does not deny or repress their humanity.
01:24:46
67 Beloved friend, each relationship is a teaching and learning relationship.
2. Therefore, when a child seems to be acting out their anger, first give them the space to do it, and observe the child. 3. How do they move their body? 4. Do they just live in their head?
5. Or is their whole being involved in it? 6. What can you learn from the child?
01:25:19
68 And when the anger has subsided, always, always, always wrap your arms around them, at least metaphorically. 2. Let them know that you love them. 3. Let them know they're okay. 4. Let them know that yes, you, too, know that sometimes it's a little hard to be in the world and that you thank them for being present in your life, because you are committed to learning from them as much as you are committed to teaching them.
01:25:55
69 Cease - everyone that could hear these words upon your planet - cease treating children like second class, incapable people. 2. Their consciousness is clear and bright!
3. Talk to them like an adult. 4. Live like a mature adult in your relationships with them.
5. Give this a try, beloved friend. 6. There is much here for you, if you will but cultivate the treasure within these words.
01:26:37
70 OK that’s all for this tape. Just want to thank you all for your support this year and wish you all a blessed wonderful warm holiday season. Yes word about your coming next week, we are very excited for that and for the rest of you, you will be in our hearts and so drink in energy. So lots of love by by.
