The
True Community of the Holy Spirit
A
discourse by Jesus
NOTE: This dictation was
given at the Shangra-la Summer Conference, July 26, 2004.
I AM Jesus Christ, as Above,
so below—in you.
I come to applaud you. I come to applaud those of you, who have dared
to come apart and be a separate and chosen people, elect unto their
God.
I wish you to understand that whenever we of the Ascended Host give
any statement whatsoever, the relativity of the carnal mind will immediately
distort and pervert that statement and make it relative and dualistic.
And so the carnal mind takes the statement, “A separate and chosen
people, elect unto their God,” to mean that a certain group of
people were elected by God and elevated above the rest. And therefore,
they are somehow special, they are somehow God’s chosen people.
This is what you have seen outpictured in your Judeo-Christian tradition,
that happened to the Jews. Yes, the Jews were chosen by God for a special
mission and calling. That did not mean that they were the only people
on Earth who were chosen by God. There are two sides of the coin. Yes,
a people can be called by God for a particular mission, but the people
themselves have to elect to step up to that mission and let go of their
human consciousness, their sense of duality, their sense of separation.
And if the people do not elect to let go of the carnal mind, then the
figure-eight flow between Heaven and Earth cannot happen. And therefore,
the people will build an idolatrous sense of themselves as being somehow
better than others, thinking that because they were called God’s
chosen people four thousand years ago, they are still God’s chosen
people today and can therefore treat other people in a way that is in
violation of God’s Law of Love, in violation of my calling to
do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the duality
consciousness.
I greet those of you who have come apart, for this weekend, from that
consciousness [1 - see below]. I want you to think back upon this weekend,
upon the conversations and sharing you have had, including the magnificent
sharing of hearts you had last night [2].
I want you to realize that you came apart from the consciousness of
the world. You went into the wilderness, and YOU became God’s
chosen people because you elected to overcome the sense of separation
from your God. [3] That is the true meaning of those who are the elect
of God, those who have elected to leave behind the consciousness of
separation and dared to affirm their oneness with God, as did I when
I said, “I and my Father are one!”
Oneness versus sameness
I come to give you a sense of comeasurement of what can be achieved
when you enter that state of Being and come apart from the state of
doing. I want you to reread and listen to Archangel
Michael’s dictation where he said, that there is nothing you
can do to remove the forces of anti-christ from this planet.
They can be removed only when you dare to BE who you are.
When you get in the consciousness of thinking that you are the doer,
that you of your own self can do something and that it is up to you
to combat these people that you think are doing evil, then you set yourselves
up in opposition to them. And that is how you see the divisions among
brothers and among nations that lead to conflicts that can’t be
resolved, to revenge, to anger, to terrorism, to war, and the pattern
of human power plays that have plagued this planet now for as long as
anyone on Earth can remember, but for far longer because we of the Ascended
Host remember all that has gone before on Earth.
This is what I came, 2,000 years ago, to call people to come apart from,
that consciousness of duality, that consciousness of carnality. But
you see, there is only one way to achieve union and oneness on Earth.
It cannot be done as a horizontal oneness, as a forced oneness. Do you
not see that so many regimes and systems in this world have attempted
to force people into oneness by destroying their differences, by setting
up a mold for how a human being should be?
And as in the fairy tale of the princess who could not fit the glass
slipper, and one cut a heal and one cut a toe to fit the slipper, and
so the ideology of communism, and for that matter capitalism and many
other cultures, is that you should deny your God-given individuality
in order to fit within the system. This cannot be, because God has created
you in his image and likeness, and he has endowed you with the unique
individuality that is God’s desiring, in you, to be more of himself.
And therefore when you try to suppress your individuality, it will only
create tension and anger. And eventually, you will explode, as you see
so many people, both in Christianity, in other religions and in the
New Age Movement, who crash and burn. They suddenly become converted,
they have a reawakening or a re-birthing experience, and for a while
they are so enthusiastic. But because they are not balanced, they come
to a point, where they crash and burn.
Building the true community of the Holy Spirit
If you will study this website, you will see that I continually talk
about the need for balance. And that balance can be achieved only when
you go within yourself and strive for oneness with your Christ Self
and with your I AM Presence. To form the true community of the Holy
Spirit, the one body of God on Earth, each member of that community
must go within and find the kingdom of God within him or herself, so
that each person has a vertical oneness with his or her Christ Self
and I AM Presence.
When that vertical oneness is established within individuals, then there
will be oneness as Above so below. And the horizontal oneness within
the community will spontaneously appear. That true oneness does not
mean that you lose your individuality, or that you have to give up your
individuality to be part of the community. It means that you can all
express your individuality. You can even have differences of opinions,
as you saw last night, that different people had different experiences.
And let me tell you, that they were all valid experiences, given where
people were at in consciousness.
The important point about last night’s gathering was that behind
all of the different experiences and opinions, there was a deeper sense
of love, a deeper sense of oneness. This is the true community of the
Holy Spirit. When that oneness is present, and when that love consumes
all conflict, differences can be used to actually enhance each other.
Consider why has God created human beings so different? Yes, some say,
“Why did God do that; it only creates conflict?” But the
truth is that God has done so because he wants to see all facets of
himself expressed on Earth. And each of you have a unique God Flame,
a unique facet of God, a unique individuality in God, that God desires
to express through you. And so only when you have that love, and you
allow each other to be and let be, can you form that true oneness and
community that does not get destroyed by conflicts and personality conflicts
and power plays, as you see in virtually all spiritual communities throughout
history, save a rare few.
The true oneness in diversity
I tell you, that the community, that you have formed during this conference,
is the same type of community that was formed by my disciples after
my resurrection. They had that sense of oneness, that sense of community,
but they were not all alike. Yet the difference between today and then
is twofold.
Humankind in general has risen to a higher state of consciousness. And
each of you here individually, over these past 2,000 years, has risen
to a higher state of consciousness. And therefore, you have the potential
to form a community that is more powerful than what was formed 2,000
years ago.
Do not have idolatry of my disciples; they were far from perfect, and
you will see this even in the scriptures. Yet at the same time realize,
that we of the Ascended Host do not require our disciples to be perfect.
This is another example of duality consciousness and how it perverts
the truth of God. The carnal mind thinks that if something is perfect,
it could never change. So if God is perfect, he could never change.
Yet the reality is, that God is constantly transcending himself. Because
when God creates – and God is constantly creating – he embeds
his own being into whatever he creates, and thereby he becomes more
than he was before it was created.
What we of the Ascended Host ask of our disciples is one thing: the
willingness to transcend your present sense of identity and become more
of who you are in God. That is all we ask. But we ask that you maintain
that willingness for as long as you are on Earth, and never allow yourself
to stop. Because when you come to a point in your psychology that you
are not willing to surrender, a part of your human consciousness that
you are not willing to leave behind, at that moment you hold yourself
back, you set yourself apart from the flow of life that is the true
community of God. It is almost like the little finger separated itself
from your body because it did not want to move on with the whole.
The Body of God on Earth
There is truly a Body of God on Earth. And over these 2,000 years, the
body of God that I came to manifest, has formed a group of souls that
have risen in consciousness. And these are the souls that I called in
my address yesterday, to
come apart from the mass consciousness, the duality consciousness, and
form the true community of the Holy Spirit. The community based on love
and the vertical oneness with your God, that then creates the oneness
here below.
I would give you a sense of comeasurement of what can be achieved when
you strive for the vertical oneness with your God and then allow that
oneness to flow in this world. It is the difference between doing and
Being. I called you to this chapel yesterday, in the morning [4], because
at that time, on a Sunday morning, the Christian congregations all along
the East Coast of the United States were sitting in their churches,
giving their prayers and their songs.
And do not let your carnal mind trick you into misunderstanding my words.
I honor all Christians who come to their churches with sincere hearts,
and there are many sincere Christians who have the purity of their hearts.
And they pray, and their prayers have great effect. And they do improve
conditions on Earth.
Yesterday morning, millions of Christians in this time zone [5] were
sitting in their churches praying, and their prayers had a certain effect.
But on this hilltop in New York, were 25 people who had come closer
to the state of Being and who were giving Archangel Michael’s
Rosary and the decrees we have released [6]. I must tell you in all
sincerity, that the 25 people on this hilltop achieved more for God
than the millions of Christians praying in their churches.
This is not to give
you a sense of conceit or that you are better than others, because truly
you were not the doers. You were allowing God to work through you, and
through the rituals that Mother Mary, Archangel Michael and myself have
given you. Those rituals have power, as Mother
Mary said. But for that full power to be realized, you must be in
the state of Being. You must overcome the thinking that your outer mind
is the doer.
Let the Spirit flow through you
And to give you a sense of comeasurement, we ask you to consider what
you have experienced during this conference. Consider the situation
yesterday, that surprised many of you. You saw an address by
me in the morning, you saw an address by the Holy Spirit in the
afternoon [7]. I want you to go into your hearts and consider the difference.
The difference is subtle, but it is all-important.
One address was the pure state of Being with no lower self, no sense
of self, no sense of having an agenda of any kind. And in the other
was still a little bit of self, a little bit of an agenda. But you must
understand that there was still a flow of the Spirit. And this is what
you need to realize, that there are many Christians out there who truly
do have a flow of the Holy Spirit in their churches. But because they
have not gone within and established the oneness, there is still some
of their human selves mixed in.
Let me say this very clearly. For you to manifest the Holy Spirit and
be an instrument of the Living Word, you must be willing to let the
Spirit flow through you, even though you are not completely free from
the human consciousness. Because how can you ever be free, unless you
allow the Holy Spirit to consume that human consciousness?
Heed what I am saying. It is one thing to come to the realization that,
“I have duality consciousness and I need to remove it.”
But you see, you cannot remove the duality consciousness by using your
carnal mind, by analyzing yourself. You can remove the human consciousness
only by allowing the Spirit to flow through you, so that the Light of
God can consume the human consciousness within you. So if you dare not
let the Spirit flow through you, how can the human consciousness be
consumed? It cannot be done.
It becomes a catch-22. And that is why you need to be willing to let
the Spirit flow through you in whatever capacity you are able. And I
am not saying that you should not use discernment. You truly should
use discernment and protect yourself from the lower spirits, but you
have to be willing to experiment with the Spirit and allow the Spirit
to move you. And you also have to be willing to be honest and look in
the mirror and say, “Is there still some element of human consciousness,
some element of separation? Is there still some agenda, some sense of
being the doer?”
Doing versus Being
So we have given you, for this conference, two people, Lorraine and
Kim, to serve as an example for you of people who have gone very far
toward being in the state of Being instead of doing. This is not to
set them above you, but as an example of what all can do, what all can
Be. So take that sense of comeasurement. Be willing to look at yourself
in the mirror and say, “Is there something in my human consciousness
that is standing in the way of my service to God, that is standing in
the way of my oneness with God?” And then be willing to admit
and recognize that it is not the real you, and that you need to separate
yourself out from it by affirming your oneness with God.
Take the rosary you have just given. A very powerful rosary, but consider
the difference between the first part of the rosary, that was given
fast, and the last part of the rosary, that was given slowly [8]. During
the fast part of the rosary, most of you were caught up in the state
of doing, and you thought speed and volume was more important than oneness,
than Being. So during the last part of the rosary, all came into being.
And I must say that the last part of that rosary moved mountains whereas
the first part merely moved hills. That is the difference between doing
and Being. I of my own self can do nothing.
Overcome your idolatry of me
I know that many of you have been brought up to have idolatry of Jesus
Christ, that I was so special, that I was so above everybody else, and
therefore I could do things that no one else could do.
I will give you a lesson in how to trick your carnal mind and the duality
consciousness. You need to look that consciousness squarely in the eye,
and then you need to consider, “Is what it is telling me logical,
is it consistent, does it really make sense?” So look at the idolatrous
image built by orthodox Christianity that Jesus was so special, and
then consider my statement, “I of my own self can do nothing.”
Why would a being, who is so elevated, who is so special, who is so
above everybody else; why would he make that statement? If he was so
great, then he should have been full of the sense that “I am the
doer, I am the savior, I am changing this planet.” But I was not,
because I knew the truth. I of myself can do nothing, it is the Father
within me, the state of Being, that doeth the work.
This then is the true inner path that has been taught behind the outer
path of the world’s outer religions. And it is, as I said yesterday,
the path of oneness with the teacher, oneness with the Christ self,
oneness with the I AM Presence—which is one with God.
I would ask you to consider how you felt as you began to give the Oneness
Rosary. And as you give that rosary from this day on, I would ask you
to observe yourself and what is going on in your thoughts and minds.
Because that Oneness Rosary is truly the most powerful ritual you could
ever want for obtaining oneness with God—if you are willing to
let go of the sense of separation. The Oneness Rosary will bring up
all resistance you have in your consciousness to accepting your oneness
with your God, all of the programming you have received, all of your
carnal mind and the lies of separation.
So monitor yourself, and see where you feel some thought, some feeling
that, “Oh, I'm saying these words that I am one with my God, but
it can’t really be true because of . . . whatever reason you have.”
Monitor yourself, and then identify the resistance. If need be, make
calls for it in the rosaries and the decrees, but first of all surrender
it. Leave it behind.
There is no greater feeling in the world than to leave the world behind,
to leave the worldly consciousness behind. And to step out of the mass
consciousness that is so filled with the lies of anti-christ, and go
to the inner kingdom and feel that sense of oneness with your source,
oneness with something higher than anything found on this Earth.
To go to that oneness, you must be willing to be non-attached to the
things of this world. You must realize that the prince of this world,
the consciousness of anti-christ, is always there to tempt you into
attachments. This is the situation on Earth at this moment. It will
not be that way forever—if you dare to BE instead of continuing
to do.
Where to go from here
I now come to ask you to consider where you go from this point, because
this conference, this gathering of hearts, has truly been a turning
point in your lives. And it can be a turning point on planet Earth of
a similar magnitude to what happened after my resurrection, when the
disciples came together and opened themselves to the descent of the
Holy Spirit.
The potential is there. Think of the changes that have happened on this
planet as the result of my disciples, and realize that I had twelve
disciples but there are more people here. Think of the potential.
Then mastermind together on how you will express that potential. Because
there is not just one way to do this. You must recognize that each of
you have a unique individuality, a unique mission and a unique gift
to bring to this planet. And you must create a community where you can,
to the greatest possible extent, express your individual gifts without
preventing each other from Being who you are.
It is a challenge. It is a delicate challenge. Yes, it is a challenge
that so far very few groups of people have been able to meet. Yet I
know that you are up to the task. Because if you were not up to the
task, number one: you would not have come, number two: you would not
have had the flow of love that you have experienced.
Therefore, I say to you, do not get caught up in the consciousness of
doing, thinking that the world rests upon your shoulders and that you
are the ones who have to save the planet and to turn back this or that
darkness. Always remember that the first priority in your life, as stated
by the Presence
of Oneness and in the Oneness
Rosary, is to maintain your oneness with God.
It is not a matter of forming a militant organization that can go out
and do battle with the forces of anti-christ and beat those forces into
the ground. We are past that point. What will make the difference is
the true community of people who dare to BE, and who support each other
in Being. This is what can change the Earth.
Remember what I said; 25 people in the state of Being giving the rosary,
did more for God than millions of Christians sitting in their churches
in the consciousness of doing. It is not numbers, it is not outer results
that I am looking for. And it was not outer results that I was looking
for 2,000 years ago.
A religion of Being
This is what has been misunderstood by the people who were caught in
the duality consciousness. They created a Christian religion that they
see as being separated from other religions, being better than other
religions, being the only true religion, being the only road to salvation.
My disciples were called “The Followers of The Way.” And
you remember my statement, “I am the way, the truth and the life,
no one comes to the Father save by me.” Again, the duality consciousness
interprets that to mean that no one comes to God without going through
Jesus Christ. But truly, the true statement is that no one comes to
the Father save by going through the Christ consciousness that I am.
And the Christ consciousness is what allows you to say, “I and
my Father are one,” because you are now being one with
your God, instead of seeing yourself as separated from that God.
That is what I called my disciples to manifest. That state of oneness
with God. They could not maintain it. But a few of them did maintain
it for a long time, and some of the gnostic groups continued it for
centuries. But orthodox Christianity, the organized church never had
it, never understood it because they followed the example of Peter,
who denied his oneness with me, and thereby denied the oneness between
the disciple and master that is the true fulfillment of the master-disciple
relationship, whereby the disciple becomes the master below as the Master
is the Christ Above.
My profound gratitude to you
The kingdom of God is within you, and it will not suddenly drop from
the sky, as many Christians believe. It will come from within you, when
you allow it to flow through you. Therefore, once again, my profound
gratitude to those of you who have come together. My profound gratitude
to those of you, who were not able to be here, but who still see yourselves
as part of this new movement. May I say: the potential for this movement
is that this fledgling new movement could have an even greater impact
on this planet than did the movement started by my disciples after my
resurrection.
And the reason for this is that the very center of this movement is
the oneness with God. And in today’s age, so many more souls are
ready to accept that message. And therefore, I ask you to first of all
start with yourself. Go within. Do everything you can, use all the tools,
the books and teachings that we have given, to establish that oneness,
that sense of Being. And then, when you feel you have reached a sufficient
level of it, dare to express it.
Dare to let your light shine before men, because truly a city that is
set on an hill cannot be hid. And I will say too, as I said to Kim one
time when he slipped into duality consciousness and was concerned about
being too forceful, about letting his light shine. I said to him, “Do
you think it is your light that you are hiding?” And he realized,
“I of mine own self can do nothing.” Well then, if it is
God’s light within you, is it your light to hide? If God gives
you his light, what gives you the right to slip into the duality consciousness
and say, “Oh, I have to hide it, or someone might get upset, someone
might be uncomfortable.”
So I ask you again, if you feel that way – and I understand that
you all go through a period of fearing to let your light shine –
but then work on it. Work on it with the oneness of purpose, and come
to that point where it naturally flows, and you don’t care about
what the world thinks. Because you know that the consciousness of anti-christ
will oppose anything you do for God, will always oppose the Light of
God, as they opposed me 2,000 years ago. You come to that point of inner
oneness where you say, “I am who I am, and I am just going to
be who I am, and come what may.”
At that moment, you will have the total defense, which is the total
transparency, because the prince of this world comes and has nothing
in you, whereby he can manipulate you to turn off your light, the light
of your I AM Presence shining through you.
So I leave you with this last image. Your I AM Presence is a sun. The
sun constantly shines. It is designed by God to radiate light. Let it
shine through you. And then light up this world.
In the name of the Father, the Mother, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
I seal you in the infinite love and protection of the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. It is finished! Amen.
Notes:
[1] For the Shangra-la Summer Conference in Greenville, New York.
[2] The participants of the conference sat in a circle and had a very
open and loving discussion about the events that transpired earlier
in the day.
[3] The entire conference was enveloped in a sense of love and community
that was truly beyond this world.
[4] Jesus called the conferees to the chapel while people were eating
breakfast by sending Kim to give them the following message: “I
have prepared for you a feast that is greater than anything this world
has to offer. Therefore, come to the Lord’s table!”
[5] The East Coast of the United States.
[6] The participants gave the entire Archangel Michael’s Rosary,
including about 10 minutes of the decree, Violet Fire, Raise the Earth
LINK.
[7] One of the conferees gave a talk on the Holy Spirit and was later
moved to talk by the Spirit.
[8] The conferees gave the Miracle Oneness Rosary. The first part
was given somewhat quickly and with raised voices. The participants
were then directed by Jesus to slow down the pace and focus on giving
the words in unison. The difference was tangible.
