from Jesus:
In the end, it is something that you personally must feel because you
are a unique individual, and therefore your experience will be slightly
different than the experiences of other souls. Furthermore, it is difficult
to describe an experience with words. Just imagine that you had to use
words to describe the taste of an apple. You know what an apple tastes
like, but try to describe it with words and you will find it very difficult.
Nevertheless, I will attempt to give you a description. In the answer
to another question, I explained that
your true God-given individuality is anchored in your spiritual self,
or I AM Presence. Your analogy of a light bulb is good, but I prefer
to use the analogy of the sun. Your I AM Presence is literally the spiritual
sun of your being.
When you think about the physical sun, you realize that it does one
thing and one thing only—it shines. The sun is constantly radiating
its life-giving rays. The sun is doing so unconditionally, meaning that
the sun is not affected by how people respond or fail to respond to
its warming rays. If people on Earth curse the sun, the sun does not
stop shining. If people ignore the sun, the sun does not shine any less.
So as you walk the spiritual path towards Christhood, what happens is
that you gradually overcome the lower elements of your consciousness
and you become the open door whereby the light of your I AM Presence
can shine through your outer consciousness. As a result of this gradual
process, you begin to allow the sun rays of your I AM Presence to shine
through you in all situations.
You can literally begin to feel that you are a sun walking through life
and simply radiating your light and warmth to everyone whom you meet.
Some people might reject you, but that does not cause you to hide your
light or to hold it back. You see, the lower self causes you to analyze
and evaluate every situation. You try to adapt to what you think the
world wants you to be, and that creates an element of distance, of separation
and of artificiality. Instead of being who you are and expressing your
unique God-given individuality, you have allowed the world to impose
an image upon you of who the world wants you to be.
As always, there is a subtle distinction here. I am not saying that
people should do whatever they want without considering the consequences
it has for others. You see many people in the world who allow their
egos to run their lives without any restrictions, and such people are
completely self-centered egomaniacs with no regard for how their actions
affect other parts of life. Obviously, that is not what I am encouraging
here.
What I am saying is that as you rise on the spiritual path, you overcome
the human ego and its selfishness and self-centeredness. Instead, you
become God-centered and you allow your God self to express itself through
you in all situations. Obviously, this does not mean that you become
insensitive toward other people. However, it does mean that you become
sensitive to the gift that God wants to give these people in that particular
situation. In other words, instead of trying to give people what they
think they want with their outer consciousness, you are giving people
what their souls want them to have, so that they can rise to a higher
level on the spiritual path.
This is what you saw me do during my lifetime. I was simply being who
I am and allowing my spiritual self, my spiritual sun, to shine through
me. My goal was to never leave a person the same, to never leave a person
in the same state of consciousness, in which I met that person. And
I allowed my spiritual self to give each person a unique gift of light
and wisdom, which gave that person the opportunity to come up higher.
Some people ignored my gift, some people rejected it and some people
attacked me for giving it because they did not want to be disturbed.
Yet I continued to radiate my light and to let it shine before men,
and that is truly what every human being can do by walking the spiritual
path and becoming the Living Christ in embodiment.
