Are
you awake?
A message from Gautama Buddha. This dictation was delivered
during the Shangra-la conference in Emigrant, Montana, October 20, 2006.
The Buddha I AM. Gautama was my name when I walked the Earth. And though
I still answer to that name, I have a higher name that I shall one day
reveal to you, when you are ready to receive it because you have attained
a higher integration with your own inner name, your own Higher Being
that you are.
My beloved, after I had entered Nirvana and had returned to the material
universe to preach, I encountered three men who were struck by my peaceful
radiance. They were struck by my God Flame radiating its light through
my outer form. And so they asked me several questions about what I was.
Was I a God, an angel and other questions.
My beloved, who among you know the answer I gave them. What did I say
to them when they asked, “What are you?”
[Audience answers, “I am awake!”]
That is right. I simply said, “I AM awake!” So my beloved,
what do we of the Ascended Host want to see for our chelas in embodiment?
[Audience answers, “For us to be awake!”]
That is right. We want you to be awake as we have become awake. Whether
we attained that sense of awareness after we ascended or while we were
still in physical embodiment, you have the potential to become awake
while you are still on Earth. And therefore, you can become free of
the state of illusion, the state of sleepwalking through life, whereby
you feel that life is a treadmill, where you go around and around and
you never seem to get anywhere. And life seems to have no purpose or
deeper meaning or direction.
My beloved, look at humankind and ask yourself the question, “How
many people on this planet are even somewhat awake, to the point where
they are consciously aware that as they go through their daily lives
they are more than that?" And thus, because of that awareness they
have a deeper appreciation for life.
My beloved, when you are awake, the essential realization is that you
are more than these outer manifestations. You are more than your outer
situation. You are more than your physical body. You are more than your
lower mind, your outer personality that has been shaped by this world.
You are more than this. And what happens when you know that you are
more? Well, you are not fully identified with this world, with your
lower being and the outer personality, even the ego. And when you are
not fully identified with it, your mind is not trapped in the mental
box created by the ego. And thus, at least once in awhile, you can step
outside that mental box and look at life from a broader perspective.
You can look at the big picture. You can see the forest instead of pounding
your head against one tree trunk.
The key to freedom in not the ascension
And this, of course, is the key to freedom. The key to freedom is not
that you leave behind this physical body for good in the process of
the ascension.
My beloved, are you awake? Did you hear what I said? The key to freedom
is not that you leave the material universe behind in the process of
the ascension. It would seem I am contradicting earlier teachings, given
through other dispensations, in which we of the Ascended Host did focus
on the ascension as the goal of life. So why do I now say that the ascension
is not the key to freedom? Because, my beloved, you cannot ascend unless
you are awake.
And becoming awake is not a mechanical process that can be obtained
by following certain outer rules or doctrines or rituals. It is a creative
process that can be attained only through awareness that becomes internalized
and therefore results in the ultimate LIFE
decision. A decision that is not produced by you, that is not willed
into being, but a decision that comes spontaneously from within because
one day you decide that you are willing to be awake. You are willing
to go beyond the state of consciousness that you have been in so far.
You are willing to rise to that higher state of awareness, where part
of your attention, part of your being, part of your sense of self is
always outside your current situation, is always looking at the big
picture, looking from a broader perspective. And therefore never looking
at life fully from inside the mental box of the ego.
My beloved this is not an awareness that will come spontaneously. It
is not a matter of meditating X hours a day for X number of years. It
is not a matter of doing any other ritual. It is an awareness that must
come ultimately from within. But it is an awareness that can be cultivated
by your willingness to always look beyond the immediate situation, to
always look beyond the current box of the ego, so that you do not identify
fully with that box and become trapped in it.
My beloved, this awareness of being fully awake is what we desire to
see for all of you. And the reason for this is that we have become awake,
we have become free, and thus we want all of you to attain that same
freedom, that same joy, that same state of bliss. This is the peace
that passeth understanding, the bliss that is beyond any outer conditions.
For it does not depend on any conditions in this world, for you realize
that the key to bliss is to connect to the source of bliss. And the
source of bliss is not found in the material world. It is found in your
own Higher Being, from which the source of life itself comes for you.
Nirvana is not annihilation
My beloved, you were not created with no purpose. Life is not a treadmill.
I am fully aware that some of my followers – or those who claim
to be followers of the Buddha – have created a world view that
they claim is based on my teachings, a world view that states that life
is just a process of being created, of rising to the level of the Buddha
consciousness and then merging back into, disappearing back into, Nirvana
where you are obliterated. Well, my beloved, it is a fiction of the
human imagination, for Nirvana is not annihilation. It is a higher state
of life that most people on Earth cannot fathom. And therefore, to them
it might seem that when you enter Nirvana, you disappear. But you only
disappear from the sight of those who are not awake, who have not risen
above duality.
You see, my beloved, the
teachings given by Mother Mary and Jesus on the ego and the duality
consciousness are indeed the quintessential teachings for the Aquarian
Age. For humankind is ready to recognize the existence of the ego. And
they are ready – with some serious coaching – to understand
the concept of duality and how it influences your thinking, how it blinds
you to reality, how it binds you to this treadmill of always fighting
some opposing force, never being able to reach your goal, never being
able to break through and get where you want to be in life.
And the reason is that you have been fooled by the ego and the prince
of this world to believe that your bliss is in this world. And thus,
you have been told to follow your bliss and seek it in this world. For
in order to attain it – they say – you have to overcome
this opposing force. And so you get locked into this battle of fighting
against the opposite duality. And my beloved, this is a battle that
can go on indefinitely—until you run out of time.
For when you are engaged in this battle, you are indeed creating your
own opposition. You are polarized to one of the dualistic extremes,
you are unbalanced, you are off the middle way. And in that imbalance,
you create the opposition to your every effort because you project an
unbalanced view into the cosmic mirror. And the mirror has no choice
but to project an unbalanced material circumstance back to you as a
result.
So being awake truly means that you realize the mechanics of the dualistic
struggle, and that you decide that you will raise your awareness so
that you become aware of the dualistic forces in your own being, the
forces that divide you against yourself, that divide your lower being
against your own Higher Being. And thus, in this division, you create
those circumstances that oppose your goals.
And in a sense, this is a grace, for it is a safety mechanism built
into the material universe. It is simply designed to make sure that
when you go off of balance, when you go off the middle way, your imbalance
creates an opposing force that seeks to pull you back to balance. So
the further you go into one extreme – the harder you push to get
to that goal that you have set for yourself – the more you create
the opposition that opposes your effort and seeks to pull you back to
center.
The double illusion
But, of course, you do not see it that way. You do not see that the
material universe is providing a service to you by seeking to counteract
your imbalance. Nay, you allow your ego to tell you that the universe
is opposing what is your right—your right to be free and do whatever
you want, regardless of the material universe, the law of balance. And
so not only do you create an imbalance that creates an opposition, nay
you then rebel against the opposition that you created, projecting that
it was not created by you but by some external force, be it the devil
or by other people.
And so, now you are fighting two battles. And out of two battles will
spring a third battle, and out of the three battles will spring a fourth.
And pretty soon you are so enveloped in all these dualistic battles
that you have no attention left over to step back and say, “Might
there be a better way? Might there be a middle way? Might it be possible
to step off the treadmill of fighting dualistic battles and find a way
to go beyond this struggle?”
And so, my beloved, this is the message of my life, where I first –
growing up – lived a material, worldly life, then jumped to the
opposite extreme of living in a forest, torturing myself and my physical
body because I thought my physical body was the enemy and that I had
to discipline and control it. And so the true reality that most Buddhists
have not yet understood is that I truly realized that my body and the
material world was not the enemy of my spiritual growth. I saw the enemy,
and it was me, my lower being, my ego, my attachments, my expectations
that life should be a certain way.
So what we truly desire to see for our chelas in this age is that you
come into this awareness and rise above the dualistic struggle in your
own being. But we desire to see this not simply for your own sake, not
simply for your liberation or for your own bliss—we desire to
see it because in this age we have a need for those who are willing
to demonstrate the spiritual path for others.
Well, my beloved, how do you demonstrate the spiritual path for others?
The ultimate way is not to lecture or preach by giving them an outer
intellectual teaching. No, the ultimate way is to be who you are, to
be awake so that you can radiate the light that you are. This does not
mean that you need to be silent, for, truly, I also gave teachings.
I did not simply say “I AM awake” and let that be it. But
when I gave those teachings, I did not give them the way they appear
today, twenty-five hundred years later, where they have been written
down and translated and retranslated and transcribed and retranscribed,
and thus been somewhat diluted, as any teaching that passes through
the minds of many unenlightened human beings.
Deliver the Living Word
No, what I gave was the Living Word that was endowed with my God flame,
with my Inner Being. And my beloved, we desire all of you to be able
to deliver that Living Word. And I do not mean that you have to stand
here in front of a group of people and give a dictation from us. I mean
that as you speak to people, whether in a lecture situation or one-on-one,
you are speaking freely from your Inner Being. You are letting your
light flow so that the words are not the essence, the words are simply
chalices for the light.
The words carry the Light, and they enter the other persons’ energy
fields and uplift them and transform them. And they are suddenly awakened
to the realization that there is an alternative to the state of consciousness
of sleepwalking through life, because they see in you something more.
They see you are awake, you are excited, you are enthusiastic, you are
being who you are, you are at peace. They sense your bliss, and they
say, “I want that!” And then you can tell them, “You
can have it. And if you want a suggestion, here is the path I have followed.
Your path will be different, but at least you have a starting point.”
All of you who are here, all of you who are willing to study and internalize
these teachings have the potential to reach that state of radiating
your inner light of being the example of the spiritual path, the path
of self-transcendence, the path of becoming more. If you want an example,
then look at the two messengers who stood before you this afternoon
and shared their God Flames. Consider how you were uplifted simply because
they dared to be who they are. And because they dared to be who they
are, their light could shine through them. And the light filled this
room, consumed all unlike itself and created a hallowed sphere in this
place.
So you see, my beloved, truly we of the Ascended Host are able to raise
the vibration of a forcefield. And this is one of the reasons we give
dictations that are an expression of the Living Word. But you too can
do this. You too can be the open door for raising the vibration, for
quickening other people, raising their consciousness so they realize
that there really is more to life. And if he can find it, if she can
find it, maybe I can too.
For as we have said before, Jesus, Gautama, Krishna, Maitreya, Mother
Mary, Saint Germain, El Morya, we are not the best examples for people,
because they have already put us on a pedestal and think we are beyond
the scope of normal human beings. And thus, they don’t think that
they can follow our examples. And that is why we need you to demonstrate
the path so that they can identify with you, be awakened, be inspired,
be uplifted by your mere presence. For it is the presence, the I AM
Presence, that uplifts, that raises up, that accelerates, that multiplies
so that your talents are multiplied and you become more.
So my beloved, we of the Ascended Host have need of you to be our counterparts
in the material realm, to be our spiritual twin flames that you can
be the open door here below, that our greater light can shine through
and uplift those who have not yet seen that there is an alternative
to sleepwalking through life, through living for three-score and ten
without ever experiencing a moment of awareness, of being awake and
truly appreciating what life is.
Overcome the focus on self
Yet as Mother Mary said, for you to reach that state, you must overcome
the focus on self, on the little self, the narrow self, the self in
the box. You must cultivate a greater love. You must find your greatest
love, the love for which you came here originally—the gift that
you wanted to bring to Earth. The gift that you simply desired to express,
and your desire is so strong – your love for that gift is so strong
– that you were willing to come here to express that gift.
And so you must, if you are willing to be awake, reconnect to that greater
love and let that love grow so that it will become a magnet that simply
pulls you out of that normal state of drudgery, of sleepwalking. And
you are awake because you love to be awake, you love to feel that light
flowing through you. You love to see it uplift other people. You love
to feel that you are a part of the Ascended Host and our endeavor to
raise the consciousness of humankind.
Beware of the ego trap of turning the path into a struggle
And so, my beloved, there are of course many traps that the ego has
devised for preventing you from reconnecting to your greater love. And
one of the more subtle ones is to set up an unrealistic expectation
for what the spiritual path should be like, and thereby cause you to
pursue spiritual growth in an unbalanced manner, whereby, as I said,
you create your own opposition. And so your spiritual path, instead
of becoming a process of greater and greater liberation, becomes an
ongoing struggle that becomes harder and harder, until you finally break
under the strain and give up and say, “I never want to have anything
to do with that again.”
And my beloved, if you will be honest, you will see that many of those,
who used to call themselves chelas of the ascended masters, have gone
through this process—have broken under the strain and have given
up on the spiritual path. Or they have decided that this is the level
where I am comfortable and this is the level where I am willing to serve,
but I am not willing to go beyond it.
I don’t need another messenger
And many of these people have an expression that you will hear many
times, if you listen. And that expression is, “I don’t need
another messenger. I don’t need another guru. I don’t need
another spiritual organization. I don’t want to go through all
that again.” And so they reject the messengers we send, the movements
we start. And you will see this throughout history.
Well, my beloved, we of the Ascended Host fully agree with the “never
again” sentiment. For we do not desire anyone to repeat such a
cycle of turning the spiritual path into a struggle. We do not desire
to see anyone repeat their mistakes. Yet I must tell you that behind
the statement, “I don’t need another messenger, guru, organization
or teaching,” behind that statement is what both Mother Mary and
I have talked about, the self-centeredness, the focus on self.
Listen to the statement: “I don’t need.”
It is all about “I,” it is all about “me.”
For these people have become self-centered. And the goal of their spiritual
path, of their involvement with a spiritual movement, was not to rise
above self-centeredness and come into service to all life. No, their
goal was to glorify the lesser self, to justify the lesser self, and
to attain something that made them seem better than others because they
had done these spiritual things.
Do you see, my beloved, if you are willing to be honest, you will see
that self-centeredness is the real enemy of spiritual growth. But there
is no guarantee that by following an outer spiritual teaching –
even a teaching that is true and given by the Ascended Host –
there is no guarantee that this outer teaching will take you beyond
self-centeredness. Because the only thing that will take you beyond
is the decision that you are willing to come above it, you are willing
to be awake.
My beloved, there are people who feel they do not need another messenger,
guru or organization. But what are they really saying? They are saying
to the Ascended Host, “Don’t disturb me again! I don’t
want to be disturbed. I am comfortable.” And so they come up with
outer reasons, intellectual reasons, for why the ascended masters would
not start another movement, would not anoint another messenger, would
not give forth teachings beyond what was given in the past. And you
have seen this in every organization we have sponsored in the last century
of the Piscean Age.
And thus, my beloved, the question is not – or rather the question
should not be – “Do I need another messenger or movement
or teaching?” but “Do the ascended masters need another
messenger, another movement, another teaching?” Do the masters
know something I don’t know? Do they see something my ego cannot
see, namely that there is a need for another messenger, another organization,
another teaching. And am I then willing to support the masters or will
I encage myself in this self-created prison of self-centeredness, where
I use some outer means to build the illusion that I am spiritual, that
I am still a chela of the ascended masters, while in reality I have
rejected the Living Masters and now cling to a graven image that I refuse
to change, to transcend, to look beyond.
And that, my beloved, is the real question that these people should
be asking themselves. But of course, their self-centeredness prevents
them from asking that question, because they are so involved with their
own little box that they cannot withdraw their attention from it and
from its dualistic struggle and step back and look at the big picture.
But I tell you that the vast majority of the people I am talking about
are not in any way evil or prideful or selfish or self-centered. They
came here out of a greater love to provide a service to humankind, to
the cause of the Ascended Host, which is to free humankind. So behind
their outer disappointment or comfortability, they have that greater
love.
Help others rise
And you, if you have risen above your sense of disappointment or frustration,
you have the opportunity to help these other people become free. I am
not even saying that I want you to try and get them to join this movement.
I just want you to use your insight, your love, to help them escape
that prison of self-centeredness and to get back on the spiritual path—in
whatever form they can grasp it at their present level of consciousness.
For surely, if you can be yourself and radiate to them your greater
love for your own greater Being and your mission, you can inspire them.
And if they are willing, you can re-ignite the flame of their love for
the spiritual path, for their spiritual mission.
And that, of course, is what we desire to see happen, so that all those
who have been involved with any ascended master sponsored organization,
can have a rekindling of the fire of the heart, the love for the path,
the love for the ascended masters, the love for their own Higher Beings,
the love for God and the love for their fellow man. For truly, many
of the people who have found the ascended masters' teachings, came here
for a selfless purpose. Surely, not all came here for a selfless purpose
because they descended to Earth precisely – as was explained this
afternoon – because they
were not willing to rise higher when the higher sphere in which they
lived ascended into a higher vibration. And so they descended in
consciousness until their consciousness vibrated at the level of the
material realm.
And so many of these people have been given the opportunity to find
an ascended master organization and to interact with those who are the
innocents, those who are the loving hearts. And the hope was that the
more recalcitrant souls, those who had hardness of heart, would be inspired
and uplifted by those who had the pure hearts, the loving, meek and
humble hearts. And yet this goal, this hope, has not yet come to fruition,
at least not yet to its highest potential. But it can still be obtained
in large measure, if those of you who are open are willing to first
rekindle your love and seek to inspire others, seek to share who you
are with others.
You have a right to BE on Earth
Surely, you will be rejected by some. Surely you will be condemned by
others. Surely you will be told that you are not allowed to do this,
you are not allowed to be loving and kind, you are not allowed to be
in peace, you are not allowed to be happy, you are not allowed to be
in bliss. Who do you think you are in this world, where everything is
so serious and life is such a drudgery that you can come here and radiate
this peace and love and light—and thereby disturb those who are
so identified with the dualistic struggle that they have convinced themselves
that there is no alternative. And here you come and radiate this love
and they realize that there is an alternative, but in order to attain
that love they have to give up their mental boxes.
And so, they will resent you. But my beloved, as was explained this
afternoon in greater clarity than you will find in any other spiritual
teaching on this planet, that is part of the test. For it was because
you let other people cause you to stop your light from shining that
you left off the true path of self-transcendence, the path of becoming
more. And thus, many of you who are the spiritual people are once again
facing that initiation.
Will you let other people – whether it be your family or those
that used to be your peers in a spiritual organization, or the world
at large – will you let them stop from you from letting your light
shine? Or will you finally become that sun and let your light shine,
no matter what the world thinks about it or says about it. For after
all, you, my beloved, no matter what the world says, you have a right
to be on Earth and to BE on Earth all that you are Above, to let that
light shine, to bear witness to your truth.
Do you hear me? You have a right to Be the Christ, to Be the
Buddha, to Be your God Flame. You have an absolute God-given right.
And those who oppose you and want you not to disturb them have no right
to make that claim. For they have violated their free will and they
seek to pull others into that violation.
But you see, my beloved, free will does not give you the right to destroy
others. And that is precisely what those who are trapped in the consciousness
of the fallen angels will not realize. They have no right whatsoever
to kill those who bear witness to the light. Nor do they have a right
to kill them emotionally and cause them to shut off their light or feeling
so bad about themselves that they dare not express anything beyond the
ordinary.
You see my beloved, you have a right to Be here. You have a right to
disturb other people. And they have a right to be disturbed so that
they are forced to face the choice—to Be or not to Be. And even
if they deny it – the denial of Being, the Being they see in you
– it will do something, it will start a process in their Beings.
And I must tell you that in many cases a soul encountering a person
with spiritual light and denying that light will not forget that experience
for many embodiments. And the experience will come back and haunt that
person until finally the person is willing to look at why it felt so
angry. And then, in looking at this, many people have risen above it
and have come up higher and have started the spiritual path, just because
sometime in the near or distant past they encountered one person who
dared to express their light.
You cannot lose by sharing your light
So you are planting seeds. And sometimes the seeds have to stay under
ground for a very long time before they germinate and sprout. And some
of the seeds do fall on barren ground and never have the opportunity
to sprout. But I tell you that no encounter you have, where you let
your light shine, is for naught. For if nothing else, regardless of
the reaction of the other people, when you express your light with love,
with non-attachment, you close the figure-eight flow. And your light
will be multiplied and you will receive more light from your I AM Presence
that will make the sun of your heart shine even brighter.
And thus, my beloved, when you are Being who you are, when you are expressing
your light with non-attachment, without imposing any intellectual reasoning
or rules or restrictions upon it, then you can never cast your light
before swine. You can never waste that light. For the light that is
given with purity of love cannot return to you with any lower vibration,
regardless of what other people do, regardless of them misqualifying
some of the light you give them. That is their choice. That is their
karma. If your intention is pure, you will not make negative karma.
You will make positive karma and have your light multiplied. For truly,
God is not an unfair taskmaster. God does not punish you for doing good
deeds, when those good deeds are done selflessly and with non-attachment.
So you see, my beloved, there does come a state where you reach a certain
freedom, a certain willingness to be who you are, where you transcend
the level of duality, the level where you can make mistakes, where some
actions are right and some are wrong. Instead, you rise to a level,
a higher level, of right that is not in opposition to wrong. And thus,
your actions simply cannot be mistakes, no matter what happens in the
outer. The action of sharing your light, of letting your light shine,
cannot be a mistake. For you have cast your bread upon the waters, and
it shall not return unto you void, but it shall return unto you multiplied
by your own I AM Presence and by the Ascended Host—out of whose
beings you are an extension.
How to become awake
My beloved, becoming awake is not a matter of finding the philosopher’s
stone or some secret formula. It is a process, and the essence of that
process is self-observation, the willingness to look at yourself, to
look at the beam in your own eye, instead of focusing on the mote, the
splinter, in the eye of another. For when you are willing to observe
yourself without attachments, without seeking to see only what your
ego wants you to see, then you have already started separating yourself
from the ego and its illusions.
And this separation is the key to a greater awareness, a greater self-awareness,
whereby you realize that you are more than that little self that lives
in this small box and is so focused on itself and thinks the rest of
the universe should be here to serve it. Instead, you see beyond it
and you start seeing glimpses of the Higher Self that you are. And that
will reconnect you to the higher love that you are and for which you
came to Earth.
And suddenly you will start realizing that although life can have its
ups and downs, behind these outer appearances is a deeper reality. And
in that deeper reality life on Earth is an incredible opportunity, an
incredible gift. An incredible opportunity to express yourself, your
creativity, your inner being and to uplift others, to re-polarize an
entire planet to the highest vision of God.
My beloved, take some time once in awhile out of your busy daily schedule
and contemplate what a wondrous opportunity you have by being in a physical
body in this material universe. Look beyond your daily situation. Look
beyond your challenges. I know that they sometimes are severe, or at
least seem to have a certain reality. But once in awhile look beyond
them and see that behind every challenge is an opportunity for self-transcendence.
And when you look for that self-transcendence, then you will not think
that you are the doer who has to solve all of these problems, that you
know you cannot solve with your outer mind. Instead, you will immerse
yourself in the flow, whereby the light of your I AM Presence will flow
through you, and that light will then dissolve those problems that seem
like insurmountable obstacles to the outer mind.
And thus, when you take time to appreciate life, then life will become
easier to appreciate. And then your life will no longer be the drudgery
of the dualistic battle against forces that oppose you at every turn.
Your life will become what we all desire to see for you, an upward spiral
leading to greater and greater freedom, until you finally break through
and achieve that complete non-attachment that is the true key to peace
and bliss.
Progressive revelation
I, as all of us, have much more to say. For we of the Ascended Host
are in the River of Life. And in the River of Life, my beloved, self-transcendence
is endless, is beyond limit. And thus, our teachings can keep transcending
themselves and going beyond the former expressions. You see, my beloved,
it is not the outer teaching that is important. It is the flow of light
through the outer teaching that is important. And so do not turn our
outer teachings into graven images that you hold on to in a misplaced
loyalty of thinking you have to remain loyal to the Ascended Host by
sticking to an outer teaching that we ourselves have transcended.
How can you be loyal to us by holding on to the past? The only way to
be loyal to us is to move on with us, to transcend yourself, to become
more as we are becoming more. Whether you do this through an outer teaching,
whether you are inspired by outer messengers, or whether you do it through
a completely internal process – where you yourself receive the
Living Word in your own heart – the important thing is to flow.
For my beloved, we of the Ascended Host cannot be put into any mental
box created by the human ego or by any person in this world. We never
have fit into those mental boxes—and we never will! Look at our
lives. Buddhism did not appear out of nowhere. Buddhism was my attempt
to shake up the mental box created by Hinduism, which had locked people
into a rigid outer framework that denied their freedom to Be. Jesus’
life was an attempt to shake the mental box of Judaism and shake the
Jews out of their self-created mental boxes that they had created based
on the teachings and the example of Abraham and Moses, who were both
willing to go beyond their mental boxes and leave behind the old and
reach for the promised land—which is not a physical land but a
state of consciousness.
How hard can it be to figure out that everything in a spiritual teaching
is a symbol for a higher reality? How difficult is it to understand
this one truth and therefore escape that momentum, that planetary momentum,
of focusing on the outer word rather than reaching beyond those words
to the Spirit of Truth, the Living Buddha, the Living Christ, rather
than the dead Buddha and the dead Christ that have been encapsulated
in words or images that are not changing.
This, my beloved, is the one truth that we desire all of humankind,
at least the top ten percent of the most spiritual people, to understand—that
there is a deeper reality beyond the outer expression, that there is
a spiritual truth beyond the outer expression of truth.
If you want a suggestion for your life’s mission, then make that
your life’s mission—to get that truth out and to help everyone
you encounter see that there is more than that outer expression. And
the more is to reach for the Spirit of truth until you become one with
that Spirit, your own Higher Being, and therefore become the open door
so that the Spirit can flow through your words.
Become that!
Make that your goal in life—to become the open door for the Spirit
of truth, or the Spirit of Love, or the Spirit of Peace, or the Spirit
of Divine Direction, or the Spirit of any God quality for which you
have that greater love that propelled you into the material universe
to express it and bring that gift to uplift everyone and raise them
above that state of non-awareness, that state that Jesus called death,
which is spiritual death.
So my beloved, recognizing that you are still in a physical body which
has some serious issues with hard chairs, [laughter] I shall restrain
myself from further discourse and simply say, there was not one ascended
being in heaven who did not look upon your interchange this afternoon
without feeling a great sense of joy. For in the freeness of your expression,
your togetherness, you attained that state that was there in Maitreya’s
Mystery school and was that state of togetherness that is the true key
to learning, to growing, to coming up higher.
So we looked upon this gathering with great joy. And we look forward
to the coming days. And we hope you can maintain that Spirit which was
– when you think about it – a spirit of the innocence of
the child. And so if you can all become as little children, then Jesus
will appear and talk to you on Sunday. For he says, “Let the children
come to me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.”
So be willing to come into that child-like innocence of being open to
a higher truth, an inner direction for your personal life and what service
your own Higher Being desires to render to humankind through you. Thus,
I bid you, good night!
