Jesus,
October 28, 2009.
So,
my beloved, how did you like to ask permission to come to the place
where I supposedly gave my Sermon on the Mount? Quite an experience,
is it not?
Or was it on this hill I gave the Sermon on the Mount, or the next
hill over or the one to the East? Well, no one really knows, do they?
So they guess. They study the Scriptures. They analyze. They look
at the landscape. And then they go out and say; “Well, we don`t really
know, but we have to pick some hill, so let`s pick this one—and then
they think they can set this in stone for all eternity. And what
they are doing is indeed building a monument, that demonstrates their
own unwillingness to go within and contact the living Christ in their
hearts.
Do you not see, my beloved,
that the Church built behind me by the Catholic Church is not a house
of worship? It is not a house that is dedicated to worshiping the
living Christ. It is a statement of OWNERSHIP, for they think they
can own the living Christ. They think they can encase my Spirit in
a house build of stone, a house build with hands, or in a scripture,
a doctrine, a set of rules and regulations. Like you have, indeed,
seen it in Jerusalem, in the mosque and at the western wall where
you, the disciples of the living Christ, were not welcome, because
you would not follow the outer rules, but would follow only your hearts.
Why did Jesus preach in the hills?
So, my beloved, was it this hill or the next? Or does it matter at
all? Is it not more relevant to ask why did I, Jesus, go into the
hills to preach, instead of staying in the villages? Well it was,
my beloved, because they would not let me into their synagogues.
They did not want me to come in there and rock the boat, my beloved.
And so, I went to the hills, where I could speak freely, for there
were no buildings, no rules, no regulations. Thus, I could let the
spirit blow where it listeth and shatter the mental boxes of those
who were willing to listen.
Even those who came only in the hope of some miracle of healing, even
those I could speak to from the heart to their hearts. If they were
willing to listen within the heart, rather than reading in the Scriptures,
studying and analyzing, whether what I said was in accordance with
the Jewish scriptures or their interpretation of them, as you indeed
see Christians today looking at the Christian scriptures.
And they will analyze whether
what I say is in accordance with the scriptures or their particular
interpretation of them. As, my beloved, I see people do all the time
as they find my website, and they immediately find some little thing
that they think is not in accordance with their outer interpretation
of the outer scripture. And they use it as an excuse for rejecting
the entire site and even rejecting the concept that I, the living,
ascended Jesus Christ, could be speaking to humankind today through
a vessel who is a nobody, for he is not a member of the priesthood
of any authorized Church.
What, my beloved, is the need for external authority, when you have
the internal authority of the Living Christ, the Holy Spirit, the
Living Word? For if the Living Word cannot stir your heart, then
your heart has become like a stone. You are one of the dead, and
you can go and bury your dead as far as I am concerned. For I did
not come to this Earth to preach to the dead, and I am not here to
preach to the dead today. I am here to preach to those who are willing
to leave the death consciousness behind—with all it entails, including
these monuments of ownership that they have built supposedly in my
name. But how could they ever be in my name, for I am forever more
than any man-made monument, that they can dream up with their duality
consciousness, the consciousness of anti-christ that wants people
to worship an outer symbol, an outer manifestation, instead of going
within and discovering that living God, who is beyond all form, thus
beyond all manifestations, all religions, all Scriptures.
Why Jesus cast out the money changers
Take the temple in Jerusalem, my beloved, where I cast out the money
changers from the temple. Do you believe it was only because they
were selling animals or doing sacrifices? Do you believe it was only
the money changers, or were the money changers a symbol of something
deeper—this tendency to always want to have a visible outer symbol
to worship, instead of being willing to take full responsibility for
your own consciousness and your ability to contact the Living God
directly within your heart.
Do you see the subtle, but o so essential difference that I am talking
about here? Do you see, my beloved, that when you create an outer
symbol – such as a church, a synagogue or a mosque – people can believe
that by going into that building and saying a pre-defined set of prayers
– performing whatever rituals have been prescribed – well then they
have done their duty. They have done what they are supposed to do,
and now God is supposed to reciprocate by doing something for them.
Because they have, so to speak, bought a favor from God by going into
this building and uttering meaningless words that cannot possibly
reach the Living God if they are not spoken from the heart—imbued
with the love of the heart.
And if they are imbued
with the love of the heart, what is the need for the outer words and
rituals, my beloved? You might as well tune in to your heart and
send love to the living God or a manifestation of the living God,
such as your neighbor. Do you see, my beloved, it is a mechanical
form of worship going into the outer building, performing the outer
ritual—and you have supposedly done what you are supposed to do to
come closer to your salvation, to the entry into the Kingdom of God.
Now contrast this with the true message that I preached 2,000 years
ago and that I preach today. It is that of the inner path to Christhood.
Do you see, my beloved, that anyone who is willing to do what is necessary
to pass a membership initiation – whether it is to become a Jew, a
Muslim or a Christian – anyone who is willing to pay an entry fee,
so to speak, can enter into that external Church. And they can therefore
make themselves believe that by doing the outer rituals, they have
qualified for the favor of God.
Jesus preached in nature
What did I preach, my beloved? I preached an inner path, a living
path, where there is no way to mechanically qualify, for you are qualified
only in accordance with your state of consciousness, your openness,
the purity and the love of your heart. There is no way of cheating
on the inner path. There is no way to walk it in a mechanical manner,
whereby you think, that performing an outer ritual is enough. It
is not enough! It never was enough! It never will be enough!
You will not enter the Kingdom of God until you find it within yourself.
And how can you find it, my beloved? Well, you can give an outer
ritual and prayers for ten thousand lifetimes without finding it.
Or you can enter into the consciousness of the little child, you can
go within your heart and open your heart to receiving the unconditional
love of God—that rains upon the just and the unjust every second,
every minute, every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days
a year and so forth and so on for all eternity.
Do you see, my beloved, THAT
this is the path I preached? I went into the hills, because I did
not want my message to be associated with or obscured by or fit into
any mental box created by the Jewish religion or any other religion.
Thus, what was my church, my beloved? It was the hills, the view
of this beautiful Sea of Galilee and it was the blue dome of the sky
above. That was my church, my beloved.
You can build any church or cathedral, and you can claim it is the
Church of Christ. But I tell you that if it has walls and ceilings,
it is not my Church. There is no building that can hold me, so why
even attempt to build a building? For that building would only be
an expression of how far you have removed yourself from an understanding
of the inner path. The greater and the more elaborate the building,
the more you demonstrate that you have removed yourself from that
center-point of the heart, where you can know the living Christ as
a living fire burning within your heart.
Jesus was not born with full Christhood
Do you think, my beloved, that I stood here on this mountain and read
from a Scripture or interpreted a Scripture? Or do you think I stood
here and spoke the Living Word, imbued with the Spirit as you hear
it now? Do you sense, my beloved, that it was the living message
that I gave?
Why do you think I did not write it down? Because it was never the
same message twice—as you cannot step in the same river twice. How
do you think that I, the living Christ, could preach the same message
twice? Did I give the beatitudes just once, or did I give it many
times? Or was it slightly different every time, depending on the
place and the state of consciousness of the people, or even my own
state of attunement or the level I had ascended to on the path—that
I had followed for my entire lifetime.
So forget this nonsense
about me being born with the full measure of my Christhood. It is
a complete fallacy, my beloved, as any careful reading of the Scriptures
will reveal. What do you think happened to me between the age of
12 and 30? Do you think I just helped in my father’s carpentry shop
in Nazareth, my beloved? Do you think I carved furniture or helped
build buildings? Or do you think that I travelled around throughout
the East, educating and training myself in the spiritual mysteries
of various traditions, so that I understood the inner path completely
and fully before I came back here to preach it to the Jews, to those
who wrestled with God? So that I could wrestle with them and confound
them in their scripture knowledge and their analytical approach.
So that I could shake them out of their mental boxes, turn their mental
boxes upside down, inside out and shock them out of this rigid approach.
[I preached for] those who had ears to hear and eyes to see. And for
those who clung to their mental boxes, well nothing could be done.
They would have to keep playing the dramas
that had created those mental boxes, until their time ran out, my
beloved.
Those with no respect for God
And some of them did indeed play their dramas by killing the living
Christ—those of the Sanhedrin. They were the ones who plotted my
death, for they saw the danger that if I kept preaching and attracting
five thousand here, eight thousand there and two thousand there,
I would soon turn the people against their tradition, my beloved.
And what would that mean? It would mean very simply that if the people
did not fear the tradition, then the Sanhedrin – the power elite of
the time – would loose their power over the people. And this, of course,
could not be allowed to happen, for they were fully convinced that
their leadership was in the best interest of the people. And it was
not in their best interest to follow this, as they said, self-appointed
Messiah.
Do you see, my beloved, that they had no respect whatsoever for me,
nor did they have any respect for the people—but beyond that they
did not have any respect for God. For they were not worshipping a
living God, but a dead god of their own making, a dead god that they
had wrestled with the Scriptures of the past, with the prophets of
old, with the Living Word, until they had encoded it in a tradition
that was so rigid that those who followed them dared not step out
of that mental box, even to listen to me or to come and see, whether
they could be healed of some disease through the living power of the
Spirit flowing through me.
My beloved, these so-called
guardians of the people, representatives of God, those were the ones
who were self-appointed as the leaders of the people. They were the
blind leaders of the blind, as you see them today in churches, in
mosques, in synagogues, in the political establishments, financial
establishment, scientific establishments all over the world. There
you see them, the blind leaders, my beloved.
But as I spoke in Jerusalem, their
day is coming to an end. For as the Christed ones rise up and acknowledge
their Christhood – dare to express it as the Living Word, not necessarily
spoken in a dictation as right now, but spoken from the heart in whatever
context you are called to speak, depending on your background, expertise,
experience or even the fire of your heart, as you raise up yourselves
of this heavy burden that has been put upon you of following this
or that tradition – well then, you will begin to see a difference,
you will begin to see that the world will lighten up, the hearts and
minds of the people will open up.
Many came to find fault with Jesus
For my beloved, consider how few people actually lived in this area
2,000 years ago, and then consider what a miracle it was that there
were five thousand people who would come to listen to this preacher,
that some saw as the Messiah but many saw as a charlatan.
And they came only out of curiosity, hoping to catch me in some error
that they could use against me. And you know, my beloved, that even
though I was the Living Christ in embodiment, do you know what happened
when people came with their personal dramas and mental boxes, seeking
to impose their dramas, seeking to project their images, upon me?
Do you know, my beloved, that the vast majority of them always found
some little detail that they could use to judge me and say; “O this
could not be the Messiah. This could not be the Living Christ speaking
this way, expressing this way, looking this way, behaving this way.”
Any little detail that they could find, my beloved, they would use
to reject me.
And do you know, my beloved, that this is the same circus going on
today by those who find my website—or even those, my beloved, who
have claimed to be following my website for several years, but now
have turned their view of my messenger upside down, so they claim
that this is not the real Jesus.
Again, if you come to project
and reject, you will always find something that confirms your desire
to reject. Go with peace if that is what you want. Go with peace,
for I the Living Christ can do nothing for you. Go and bury your
dead doctrines, your dead images, your dead mental boxes, your dead
personal
dramas. Go and bury them in the churchyard that has been created
for you by the blind leaders, who have managed to put their epic
dramas upon you, so that you think you have to stay within their
boundaries, the mental boxes they have defined.
My beloved, there is no mental box you could possibly create that
could hold me. For if you do not understand that I am here to shatter
any mental box you could possibly have created, then you understand
nothing of the living Christ.
And that is why you do not see the reality of the cosmic
drama that has been enacted before your eyes, where this messenger
and his new companion were willing to play their parts, to do exactly
what you did not expect them to do. To do exactly the one thing that
could stir up you personal and epic dramas to the point, where you
were forced to react. And your reaction was, as Master
MORE has already said, a product of your personal drama and the
epic drama that have created your mental boxes. And if you are not
willing to see this – but continue to project and reject rather than
seeking to understand and expand – well then, you are lost for me.
You are dead to me, for I am the LIVING Christ.
