NOTE: This
answer was given on May 19, 2007, during the Shangra-la conference in
Ireland.
Answer from Jesus:
What is so great about being
in heaven? [Laughter]
Well you will not truly appreciate it until you are here. For I can
assure you that there is no way to convey to those on Earth what it
is like to be in heaven.
But I can assure you that in heaven there is no average day, for every
day is new—a new day of glory and joy, of greater understanding
of the mystery of life, that is God, that is our own Being individualized.
So you see, my beloved, in heaven there is constant growth, ever-expanding
joy.
And this is what is most difficult for the people on Earth to understand.
This, my beloved, is why you see so many who become stuck at a certain
level, even the Christians who cannot understand that I, Jesus, have
changed and that I do not live up to the statement in the Bible, "Jesus
Christ—the same yesterday, today and forever."
You see, my beloved, this is simply the ego that wants to take heaven
and put it in a closed box, for once that box is closed then the ego
feels that it has things under control. Until, of course, the second
law of thermodynamics disturbs the ego's sense of being in control.
As for the first part of the question, surely you should be doing something.
But you must understand, my beloved, that what we truly desire you to
be doing is to be Being who you are—to let your light shine. And
so, do not go out with the intent that you have to wake people up, that
you have to save the Earth, that you have to avoid this or that calamity.
Instead, go out with the sense of joy—that you have found answers
to your questions about life. That you have found a sense of purpose
and meaning, a sense of joy that you never knew before—when you
thought life had no purpose or when you did not know what that purpose
was.
Go out and radiate that peace and that joy. For my beloved, it is indeed
true that there are certain cycles, and that certain events can happen
before the year 2012. But the best way to wake people up is to show
them that there is greater joy in following the spiritual path than
living a materialistic life.
You see, my beloved, in the past when the consciousness was much more
dense, prophecies about world events and calamities had a different
purpose than they have today. Back then, the consciousness was so dense
that there literally were many people who were stuck at a certain level
of consciousness—and could not be awakened unless they were shaken
so badly that they literally were scared out of their minds, so to speak
– scared out of their mental boxes – and therefore reevaluated
their lives based on fear.
And although we have no desire to promote fear, I must tell you that
we have sometimes given dire prophecies because we knew that the only
way to wake up the people was to give them the bleakest possible view
of the situation. Obviously, we did not create the fear—people
created the fear in their own beings. We knew that this would happen.
But yet we still gave the prophecy because we knew that it was better
people were awakened through fear than not at all.
But in this day and age we have a desire to see those who will use prophecy
without fear whatsoever. And that is why we look to the most spiritually
mature people to rise above fear, and realize that, yes, 2012 is an
important cycle—a cycle ending. And yes, there are certain world
events that could take place, for as Mother
Mary has said, unless people are awakened to the connection between
their consciousness and the physical conditions on Earth, well then
they must be awakened through physical calamities that makes them feel
that there is nothing on the Earth they can count on to last forever.
And so, we desire those of you who are open to these teachings to first
seek the kingdom of God. Seek the kingdom of joy and peace within yourself,
and then go out and share that joy and peace. This does not mean you
cannot give people a prophecy, if you sense that that is what they need.
But you do not come from a state of fear. You come from a state of realism.
And then you still show them that even though you recognize the reality
of the situation, you can find peace and joy on the spiritual path,
for you know that you are more than the physical body. You are a spiritual
being who is free—free because you have seen beyond the outer
conditions.
So yes, go and shout the message from the housetops. Learn from my disciples
2000 years ago. For what did they go out and shout from the housetops?
Well, they repeated the message that I gave many times—"The
kingdom of God is at hand!" Meaning that the kingdom of God is
a state of consciousness that you can experience right now. You do not
have to wait till your body dies in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.
You can enter it right now while you are in your physical body.
This is the true message that we have always attempted to bring across.
But of course, it must be adapted to people's state of consciousness.
But in this age you can do so much more with it, in terms of raising
people's understanding to the joy and the peace of the path—rather
than the fear and the suffering and the dire prophecies.
Certainly there are people who need the stick, but we are looking much
more to those who do not need the stick because they realize that there
is more to life. There is the joy that you can find when you are willing
to look beyond the outer conditions. So find that joy in yourself and
then simply share that joy with others.
And once you have the joy, you will then have the inner direction to
see how you individually can help others in their individual situations
and states of consciousness. For there is not one message that will
fit all people. And this is what you can only know from within, based
on who you are, what is your flame that you can share with others.
