Question: Who is the beloved disciple?



NOTE: This answer was given on December 30, 2007, during the Shangra-la New Years conference in Los Angeles, California.


Answer from Jesus:

You are—all of you.

Question: I mean John or Lazarus, In the Gospel of John?

There was no specific disciple. It is a metaphor.

Who are my brothers and sisters? Those who hear the word of God and do it. Who is the beloved disciple? The one who seeks oneness with me. And thus, you all have the potential to be the beloved disciple.

You see, it is an outer, linear form of thinking to think that everything in the Bible has to be factual. There are many, many things in the Bible, including many statements I made, that were not meant to be interpreted in factual, linear terms. In fact, my beloved, it would be wise of you to assume that anything I said was a metaphor and was not to be taken literally. For you will go much further by interpreting it beyond the literal interpretation.

The Art of Non-war

This book is ingenious because it is written in such a universal way that it can appeal to just about anyone who is concerned about war and peace. It does not require the reader to believe in ascended masters or channeling but simply states teachings that have such an appeal to the heart that the spiritually aware people will feel it resonating with something in their beings.
