Accept
that you are the Christ
October 6, 2002
NOTE from Kim:
[Text in brackets are my explanatory notes].
Please
note that most of what was given to me in these messages applies to
everyone walking the path of personal Christhood.
Jesus: Walking the spiritual path demands that you
are constantly alert, because you never know when an opportunity or
a challenge arises. That is why I told people to stay awake because
you never know when the owner of the house comes. I understand it is
difficult always to be alert, especially in the density of the material
world. I am not expecting you to be alert all of the time, but I do
need you to raise your level of alertness and awareness.
You must be alert to situations where you become caught up in a certain
activity and a spiral, a negative spiral, starts building. You then
need to take some time out to gather yourself and to focus your attention
within. You want to stop such a spiral while it is still spinning slowly.
Once it starts spinning as rapidly as a vortex or a tornado, it is much
more difficult to stop it. This is part of what mindfulness and spiritual
self-defense is all about in the material world. You must learn to recognize
the beginning of a negative spiral and have the determination to stop
it before it runs amok.
You also need to learn that in the material world you cannot expect
things to be perfect. You must recognize that things will not always
go according to expectations. And you must be alert and never let the
fact that things don’t go according to expectations cause you
to become discouraged, to give up or to lower your alertness.
You must also realize that part of having the abundant consciousness
is to not worry about opportunities that pass you by. Do not cry over
spilled milk. Simply learn what you need to learn, be nonattached and
move on as if nothing happened. Non-attachment to the things of this
world is the very key to spiritual awareness.
You and I were both born in a higher realm. We know the God who is beyond
form, and we know God in all of God’s lower manifestations. We
know what is of God and what is not of God, and we have a very strong
desire to see that everything is of God. That is why we were sent to
this planet to help restore it to the vision of God. These are necessary
characteristics of our personalities. Yet, planet Earth is a severe
testing ground for those who are committed to the perfection of God.
Things are so far away from the original vision of God that it can be
difficult to bear for anyone who knows that vision. That is why you
have often refused to focus undue attention upon some of the darker
things that are happening on this planet, and this has been perfectly
correct. [It is, however necessary to know about such activities so
we can make the call for Archangel Michael to bind them.] Once again,
I stress the importance of focusing on perfection and not on imperfection.
I also found it difficult to bear that this planet is so far from the
vision of God. You will see this even in the fragmented scriptures about
my life as Jesus. I was often harsh in pointing out people’s imperfections.
I need you to be more understanding and to have more patience with people
and with yourself. As you begin your public mission, you will find that
some people will respond very slowly and that they will remain stuck
in certain patterns of behavior for a lot longer than you think is necessary.
You must not give up on people; you must simply let them grow at their
own pace. Most importantly, you must not give up on your mission and
you must simply keep doing what you know is right.
You must adjust your expectations so that you realize that the goal
of your mission is not to change people. They have their free will,
and they must change according to their own choices. The goal of your
mission is to bring forth the true teachings of God, to make the way
plain for all to see and to demonstrate the path. By doing this, you
have done everything that God can do for man, and you must simply step
back and let man do for himself.
If I were to consider how people have perverted my teachings and used
them as an excuse for not taking responsibility for their own path,
I could weep and I might feel like giving up. Yet the Lord of the World,
Gautama, has been with this planet for longer than I have. Despite all
that he has seen, he still remains nonattached; he still remains the
Buddha.
When we are young and immature, we think we can change the world overnight.
When we are more mature, we realize that changing the world takes time.
Therefore, we take our attention away from people and people’s
reactions. Instead, we focus on God and on bringing forth the truth
and the true teachings of God.
Contemplate the saying: “You can lead a man to water, but you
cannot make him drink.” Add to that that God does not want to
make him drink. God wants him to know that the water exists and where
to find it. Then, God wants the rest to be left to the free will of
the individual. You and I can do nothing less; we must and will gladly
respect the Law of Free Will as defined by God.
Another thing you must learn is to be assertive in exploiting the opportunities
that are available. You started this lifetime by being very nonassertive,
and through various activities you have become far more assertive. Yet,
you can develop this quality even more. Be careful not to go to the
other extreme and become insensitive, as you have periodically been
with some activities. Nevertheless, be not afraid to experiment and
be more assertive in all aspects of your life. There will be opposition
to your mission, and you need assertiveness to simply walk right through
that opposition as if it was not even there.
You are very correct in having internalized the understanding that you
can never fight evil with evil. You can never resist evil, because by
doing so you become entangled with it. Nevertheless, you can walk right
through the barriers put up by evil as if they never even existed. You
are not fighting evil, you are not pushing aside the barriers or breaking
them down. You are raising your vibration, your level of consciousness,
so that you can walk right through the density of the energy veil created
by evil. That truly is what Christ consciousness is all about. Christ
consciousness raises the vibration of your mind and your physical body,
until you can not only walk on water but can walk through any barrier
created from material energy.
I need you to seriously contemplate this idea and realize that by raising
your consciousness just a little, you can literally rise above all opposition
from this world. You can walk through the barriers set up by the dark
forces and the impostors that are working against you and your mission.
This is the only way to overcome these forces because they have mounted
their armies in an attempt to destroy your mission and to prevent you
from being my mouthpiece and Messenger in this age. You can fight these
forces and still, because of my support and your own attainment, achieve
certain victories and fulfill part of your mission. Yet, is it not much
better to simply rise above those forces and walk right through their
walls of Jericho?
I know you will realize the wisdom of this, and I need you to truly
contemplate and accept that you are worthy of Christ consciousness,
that you are the Christ in action and that this is not a fantasy or
some imagination that will happen out there or tomorrow. It is now;
it is right now! It is not later, but now! The acceptable time is now;
the only possible time is now! You must simply decide to accept
who and what you are as the Christ in action right now. Will you do
this”
“Yes, I accept that I am the Christ.”
Contemplate this and let this be the main focus of your attention in
the coming days and weeks. You will need to reinforce it when your own
past doubts and momentums and the opposition from without cause you
to doubt or to sink into a lower vibration. Simply be mindful, and when
you feel that you are sinking below the level of Christ consciousness,
pick yourself up and get back where you belong.
Study my life in the scriptures and you will see how I, in my final
embodiment, had these moments of doubt and of lower consciousness. This
is natural, yet you must be mindful of it and seek to minimize these
moments by constantly affirming that you are Christ.
Affirm:
I am the Christ
here, now and forever.
The thought is correct that
you have a tendency to want perfection and to never want to make a mistake.
Yet, God only created souls in his image and likeness. God did not create
souls with the full stature of God, because that only comes from experience.
A soul begins its journey with no experience, and it gradually learns
from the experiences it has at the different levels of God’s creation.
What does it mean to build experience? It means to experiment, and the
very core of experimentation is to find out what works and what does
not work by trying the options that are available to the soul, meaning
the options that the soul can envision with its present level of understanding.
Therefore, making "mistakes" is simply a perfectly natural
part of growth.
If you grow from an experience, you have never made a mistake. In God’s
eyes, you cannot make mistakes if it helps you come up higher. Whether
you do something that works or whether you do something that does not
work, you have an equal opportunity to grow. Mistakes are not defined
by God, they are defined by man. By considering something a mistake,
you miss the opportunity to grow from it, and instead you use it to
hold yourself back. Why would you do that—it is so unnecessary.
It is correct that you decided to turn away from God because you did
not want God to see that you made a mistake. Yet, you cannot hide anything
from God, so what is the point of even trying? Especially when God does
not think you have made a mistake? Yes, I understand that your soul
made this decision, and I too hid from God in certain periods of my
soul’s journey in the lower octaves. Yet, you need to understand
that there is no need to hide from God, because God does not even consider
that you ever made a mistake. God loves you with an unconditional love
that can consume your sense of having made a mistake. In fact, only
God’s unconditional love can consume that feeling. No amount of
attainment or perfection built in this world can completely consume
your feeling of having failed. Therefore, simply let go of the idea
that you ever failed or that you need to make yourself perfect in this
world before you can come back to God.
This is the folly and flawed reasoning of an immature soul. It is understandable,
yet you are no longer an immature soul. Therefore, you must go back
through time. Then you must replace that decision with a mature decision
and fully face God and accept God’s forgiveness and God’s
unconditional love.
My beloved, we have all made mistakes. Do you think I was above this?
You know I was not, because you witnessed some of my mistakes. Yet if
I could make those mistakes – far more severe mistakes than you
have made – and still make my ascension, then you surely can do
the same.
Go into your heart. Go deeply into the pain in your heart and realize
that it all comes from that one decision to want to make everything
right before you face God again. Understand that the only way to undo
that pain is to face God right here and now and accept that God’s
unconditional love consumes all mistakes and all sense of having ever
made a mistake.
Be cleansed of these unnecessary feelings.
Be whole.
Accept your wholeness and your holiness, so that you and I can be whole
as the brothers of spirit we truly are. We need that wholeness to fulfill
our mission. I know that you want to see this mission fulfilled more
than you want anything else, even more than you want to hold on to this
old pain.
I am now sending you a ray of light that will consume the pain if you
will let it go. Will you let go of this pain?
“I will.”
Affirm:
I accept my freedom
from all imperfections and pain of the past. Jesus delivers me now
and I am made whole.
