It
is time the true teachings of Christ be understood
A message from Kuthumi. This dictation was delivered
during the Shangra-la conference in Emigrant, Montana, October 22, 2006.
Messenger
reads:
Prayer
of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O
Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Prayer for Ecstatic peace
Lord, I choose to BE an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, I AM the Flame of Love.
Where there is injury, I AM the Flame of Justice.
Where there is doubt, I AM the Flame of Truth.
Where there is despair, I AM the Flame of Vision.
Where there is darkness, I AM the Light of the world.
Where there is sadness, I AM the Flame of Blissful Joy.
O Divine Master, I choose to console others and in so doing find your
consolation.
I choose to understand others and in so doing find your understanding.
I choose to love others and in so doing find your love for me.
For it is in giving of ourselves to others that we receive more of you.
It is in forgiving others that we find your forgiveness.
It is in letting the ego die that we are reborn into the eternal life
of being the Living Christ—on Earth as we are in Heaven, now and
foreverMORE.
It is when we dare to BE here below all that we are Above that the Earth
will be here below all that she is in the heart of God. And thus I AM
the Golden Age made manifest, as I love God’s flame of Ecstatic
Peace with all my heart, soul and mind. For I AM the light of the world,
and as long as I AM in the world, there is peace on Earth and God’s
will toward all life.
Kuthumi: Beloved, I am the Being who was known as Saint
Francis and whom many of you now know as the Ascended Master Kuthumi.
Thus, my beloved, I have asked the messenger to read the original prayer
of Saint Francis and the new prayer of Saint Francis, that I inspired
him to write based on the old—but by taking the old one to an
entirely higher level, where it is given a completely different tone,
vibration and power.
For you see, my beloved, as the being who was embodied as Saint Francis,
I think I should say I have the right to criticize myself and give myself
a critical review of what was missing in that embodiment as Saint Francis.
For my beloved, you who know me as the Ascended Master Kuthumi, will
know that I did not ascend after that embodiment, despite the fact that
many Christians revere Saint Francis as the ultimate expression, the
ultimate embodiment, of the teachings of Christ.
Yet my beloved, had I fully embodied the teachings of Christ back then,
do you not think I would have ascended after that embodiment? Surely,
it would have been so. And thus, I might recommend that those of you
who feel a tie to me as an ascended master, will study my life as Saint
Francis, after you have studied some of the teachings we have given
forth through this new dispensation, such as Jesus’
teaching on the ego and the teachings on the duality consciousness.
And then you will be able yourselves to get much more detail than what
I will give you now. But I will give you some discourse about what was
missing in the life of Saint Francis and why such a life, lived in such
imitation of Christ, still was not enough to qualify me for the ascension.
It was, indeed, in large part because I had not fully understood and
internalized the essential principle of becoming the Living Christ,
which is that you take command, first over your own being and then you
go out and take command over the Earth by putting yourself right in
the face of those who represent anti-Christ.
Taking a stand
Thus, my beloved, I should, as Saint Francis, have taken a more clear
stand against the false leadership and the false doctrines of the Catholic
Church, instead of falling under the illusion of misguided loyalty,
of confusing the loyalty to Christ with the loyalty to an outer church
who claimed to be the only true representative of Christ. For I should
have seen that no outer organization or person can be the exclusive
representative of Christ, for no human institution or mental box can
hold the Living Christ.
And thus, my beloved, I know full well that there are many people, both
in the Christian and New Age community, who revere the prayer of Saint
Francis in its different forms. But I must tell you that if you read
that prayer, you will see that it was an expression of a state of consciousness
that must now go into the dustbin of history and be replaced by the
recognition that you are not passive beings, sitting here expecting
the genie in the bottle, the God in the sky, to do everything for you.
“Lord make me an instrument of your peace.” No my beloved,
you have to choose to be an instrument of peace. You have to
choose to let your light shine, so that you do not pray to some remote
God to do it for you. For truly, you can of your own self do nothing,
but you must still be the open door for the light of God to shine through.
For the Light of God must have a lens, a prism, through which it can
shine, so that it can be focused here on Earth. And that is the step
up that Jesus had expressed when he said, “My Father worketh hitherto—and
I work.”
And this is what I, as Saint Francis, did not fully embody and what
most Christians to this day have not embodied or have not even understood.
And so they still take a passive approach. They still think, my beloved,
that Jesus was a pacifist.
No! He was the Prince of Peace. And the Prince of Peace is not a pacifist.
Neither is he a warlord who goes out and defeats the forces who create
war. For the Prince of Peace is above and beyond duality, and thus he
is neither in the pacifist extreme, nor in the warring extreme.
Let the true teachings of Christ and Buddha be understood
You see, my beloved, it is time and high time that the true teachings
of the Christ and the true teachings of the Buddha are understood in
the Western world—the teachings about duality and your potential
to rise above it. For only in this way can this planet and the consciousness
of humankind be raised to a higher level, where the top ten percent
of the spiritual people stop seeing themselves as passive recipients
of God’s grace, of peace or of—whatever. But they start
seeing themselves in their proper roles, the roles they were created
to fulfill, namely that of co-creators with God who are here to multiply
their talents and have dominion over the Earth.
This, my beloved, is the step up that needs to happen in the Christian
community, in the New Age community, and hopefully also among those
who call themselves ascended master students, whether they follow this
or that previous dispensation. For my beloved, if you will be honest
and look at the organizations sponsored by the Ascended Host, you will
see that there is not one previous organization who has the teachings
on the duality consciousness and the ego that are available now. And
thus, you should be able to see that the reason for this was that humankind
and cosmic cycles were indeed not ready for this teaching to be released,
but that all of our previous teachings and organizations have been leading
up to this moment.
For I must tell you that all of our previous organizations were given
in order to raise people to the fullness of the Piscean Age consciousness,
that they might pass the Piscean Age initiations. And so what you see
now is that the new teachings we are giving are indeed the nexus of
the figure-eight flow between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius.
And unless our former and present students embody and understand the
concepts of duality and the ego – and overcome the black-and-white
thinking and the gray
thinking – then they will not be able to pass with us into
the Aquarian Age consciousness.
And so they must inevitably be left behind, still following a Piscean
dispensation, while the planet moves rapidly into the dispensation of
Aquarius. This, of course, is not to our liking. For we would like those
who are open to the existence of the ascended masters to move with us
as we surely move higher.
Pacifism will not bring about peace
And thus, you see, my beloved, pacifism will not bring about peace.
It is wonderful that people are meek and humble, for truly the proud –
whether they are in an ascended master organization, a Christian church
or a New Age movement – the proud will not be able to bring about
peace. Yet neither will the meek and the humble—if they continue
to take the passive approach of waiting for God to do everything for
them.
You cannot, as they say in the Middle East, sit there and wait for the
orange to drop in your turban. For surely, it is no longer valid to
look at God as the genie in the bottle—and if you make the right
prayers then God has to jump out of the bottle and grant your wish.
No, my beloved, you are co-creators. So you have to co-create the conditions
you want by rising above the duality consciousness and thus letting
your light shine freely and bringing about the conditions that are part
of your divine plan—and not the conditions that your ego desires
for whatever reason.
Thus, my beloved, study my life as Saint Francis, or at least look at
the difference between the two prayers as they were read here. Read
them to yourself and contemplate the difference. Allow yourself to feel
the power in the new prayer. Allow that power to move in you, to move
your heart and realize a new day has dawned. A new day, a new wind is
blowing and it is time for God’s people on Earth to stand up and
be counted, to stand up and be heard by witnessing to the higher truth,
to the reality that there is something beyond the human dualistic power
struggle. There is an alternative to that state of consciousness.
