“Spend some of your time each day in a state of innocence
and presence
and you will open up to a heightened awareness of the
sacredness of all life.
This in turn will transform you.
You will begin to remember who you are.
You will begin to have a taste of Heaven on Earth. “
THE DAILY GURU
JoniLi says, “All the major traditions, all the
Spiritual movements teach that the dedication of effort to feeding the bodies
sensations
is a futile effort leading inevitably to despair, fear and
desolation. See Ecclesiastes in the
Christian bible for King Solomon’s views on this.
Dealing with the ego is the first priority for one seeking
self realization.
The awareness that we are spirit, mind and body, and the
effort to achieve proper balance and harmony,
peace and joy, is the first step in our journey to remember who
we are, and why we are here.
Many teachers have come to teach us how to dance in the
light.
I have included below some representative excerpts, and a
suggested reading list at bottom.
The world is out of balance, our of
harmony.
We are here to restore that balance and harmony, what the
Navaho people, the Dine’, call Hozro.
We do this by building the kingdom of heaven on earth,
Within ourselves, by choosing light instead of darkness,
Love instead of fear.
We are not alone in this task,
The Mother /Father is within each of us,
Whispering to us to turn to the light; to choose again, to
set aside the illusions and mis-creations of ego,
And restore our mind to the higher vibration of love and
light; our natural and true state of being.”

Preface to the Sevenfold Path of Peace
(transcribed from a
translation of the Gospel of the Essenes)
"To lift your eyes to heaven
When all men's eyes are on the ground,
Is not easy.
To worship at the feet of angels
When all men worship only fame and riches,
Is not easy.
But the most difficult
of all
Is to think the thoughts
of the angels,
To speak the words of
the angels,
And to do as angels
do." Jesus the Christ
And one man spoke: "But, Master, we are but
men, we are not angels.
How then can we hope to walk in their ways? Tell us what we must do."
And Jesus spoke:
"As the son inherits the land of his father,
So have we inherited a Holy Land
From our Fathers.
This land is not a field to be ploughed,
But a place within us
Where
we may build our
And even as a temple must be raised,
Stone by stone,
So will I give you those stones
For the building of the
That which we have inherited
From our Fathers,
And their Father's Fathers."
And all the men gathered around Jesus, and their
faces shone with desire to hear the words which would come from his lips.
And he lifted his face to the rising sun, and the
radiance of its rays filled his eyes as he spoke:
"The
Only with the ancient
Communions,
Those which are spoken,
Those which are thought,
And
those which are lived.
For if they are spoken only with the mouth,
They are as a dead hive
Which bees have forsaken,
That gives no more honey.
The communions are a
bridge
Between man and the angels,
And like a bridge,
Can be built only with patience,
Yea, even as the bridge over the river
Is fashioned stone by stone
As they are found by the water's edge.
And the Communions are fourteen In
number,
As the Angels of the Heavenly Father
Number seven,
And the Angels of the Earthly Mother
Number seven.
And just as the roots of the tree
Sink into the earth and are nourished,
And the branches of the tree
Raise their arms to heaven,
So is man like the trunk
of the tree,
With his roots deep
In the breast of his
Earthly Mother,
And his soul ascending
To
the bright stars of the Heavenly Father.
And the roots of the tree
Are the Angels of the Earthly Mother,
And the branches of the tree
Are the Angels of the Heavenly Father.
And this is the sacred Tree of Life
Which stands in the
Communion of The Sevenfold
Peace
(to be read
aloud each day at the zenith of the sun)
And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up into a
mountain, and his disciples came unto him,
and all those who hungered for
his words. And seeing them
gathered, he opened his mouth and taught them saying:
"Peace I bring to thee, my children,
The Sevenfold Peace
Of the Earthly Mother
And the Heavenly Father.
Peace I bring to thy body,
Guided by the Angel of Power; (ArchAngel
Melchzidek)
Peace I bring unto thy heart,
Guided by the Angel of Love; (My Lord Yeshua)
Peace I bring to thy mind,
Guided by the Angel of Wisdom. (Archangel Metatron)
Through the Angels of
Power, Love, and Wisdom,
Thou shalt travel the Seven Paths
Of the
And thy body, thy heart and thy mind
Shall join in Oneness
In the Sacred Flight to the
Heavenly
Yea, I tell thee truly,
The paths are seven ( seven planets/seven heavens)
Through the
And each must be
traversed
By the body, the heart
and the mind
As one,
Lest thou stumble and fall
Into the abyss of emptiness..
For as a bird cannot fly with one wing,
So doth thy bird of Wisdom
Need two wings of Power and Love
To soar above the abyss
To the Holy Tree of Life.
For the body alone
Is an abandoned house seen from afar.
What was thought beautiful
Is but ruin and desolation
When drawing near.
The body alone
Is as a chariot fashioned from gold,
Whose maker sets it on a pedestal,
Loath to soil it with use.
But as a golden idol,
It is ugly and without grace,
For only in movement
Doth it reveal its purpose.
Like the hollow blackness of a window
When the wind puts out its candle,
Is the body alone,
With no heart and no mind
To fill it with light.
And the heart alone
Is a sun with no earth to shine upon,
A light in the void;
A ball of warmth drowned
In a sea of blackness.
For when a man doth love,
That love turneth only to
Its own destruction
When there is no hand to stretch forth
In good works,
And no mind to weave the flames of desire
Into a tapestry of psalms. (mind over sex)
Like a whirlwind in the desert
Is the heart alone,
With no body and no mind
To lead it singing
Through the cypress and the pine.
And the mind alone is a holy scroll
Which has worn thin with the years,
And must be buried.
The truth and beauty of its words
Have not changed,
But the eyes can no longer read
The faded letters,
And it falleth to pieces in the hands.
So is the mind without the heart
To give it words,
And without the body to do its deeds.
For what availeth wisdom
Without a heart to feel
And a tongue to give it voice?
Barren as the womb of an aged woman
Is the mind alone,
With no heart and no body
To fill it with life.
For, lo, I tell thee truly,
The body and the heart and the mind
Are as a chariot, and a horse and a driver.
The chariot is the body, (Merkobah)
Forged in strength to do the will
Of the Heavenly Father
And the Earthly Mother.
The heart is the fiery steed,
Glorious and courageous,
Who carries the chariot bravely,
Whether the road be smooth,
Or whether stones and fallen trees
Lie in its path.
And the driver is the mind,
Holding the reins of wisdom,
Seeing from above what lieth
On the far horizon,
Charting the course of the hoofs and wheels.
Give ear, o ye heavens,
And I will speak;
And hear, o earth,
The words of my mouth,
My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
My speech shall distil as the dew,
As the small rain
Upon the tender herb,
And as the showers upon the grass.
Blessed is the Child of Light
Who is strong in body,
For he shall have oneness with the earth.
Thou shalt celebrate a daily feast
With all the gifts of the Angel of Earth:
The golden wheat and corn,
The purple grapes of autumn,
The ripe fruits of the trees,
The amber honey of the bees.
Thou shalt seek the fresh air
Of the forest and of the fields,
And there in the midst of them
Shalt thou find the Angel of Air.
Put off thy shoes and clothing
And suffer the Angel of Air
To embrace all thy body.
Then shalt thou breathe
long and deeply,
That the Angel of Air
May be brought within thee.
Enter into the cool and flowing river
And suffer the Angel of Water
To embrace all thy body.
Cast thyself wholly into his enfolding arms,
And as often as thou movest the air
With thy breath,
Move with thy body the water also.
Thou shalt seek the Angel
of Sun,
And enter into that embrace
Which doth purify with holy
flames.
And all these things are of the Holy Law
Of the Earthly Mother,
She who did give thee birth.
He who hath found peace
with the body
Hath built a holy temple
Wherein may dwell
forever
The
spirit of God.
Know this peace with thy
mind,
Desire this peace with
thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with
thy body.
Blessed is the Child of Light
Who is wise in mind,
For he shall create heaven.
The mind of the wise
Is a well-ploughed field,
Which giveth forth abundance and plenty.
For If thou showest a handful of seed
To a wise man,
He will see in his mind's eye
A field of golden wheat.
And if thou showest a handful of seed
To a fool,
He will see only that which is before him,
And call them worthless pebbles.
And as the field of the wise man
Giveth forth grain in abundance,
And the field of the fool
Is a harvest only of stones,
So it is with our thoughts.
As the sheaf of golden
wheat
Lieth hidden within the tiny kernel,
So is the kingdom of
heaven
Hidden
within our thoughts.
If they be filled with
Power, Love and Wisdom
Of the Angels of the Heavenly Father,
As they carry us to the
But if they be stained with corruption, hatred and
ignorance
They shall chain our feet
To pillars of pain and
suffering.
No man can serve two masters;
Neither can evil thoughts abide in a mind
Filled with the Light of the Law.
He who hath found peace
with the mind
Hath learned to soar
beyond
The
Realm of the Angels.
Know this peace with thy
mind,
Desire this peace with
thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with
thy body.
Blessed is the Child of Light
Who is pure in heart,
For he shall see God.
For as the Heavenly Father hath given thee
His holy spirit,
And thy Earthly Mother hath given thee
Her holy body,
So shall ye give love
To all thy brothers.
And thy true brothers
are all those
Who do the will of thy
Heavenly Father
And
thy Earthly Mother.
Let thy love be as the
sun
Which
shines on all the creatures of the earth,
And does not favor one
blade of grass
For
another.
And this love shall flow
as a fountain
From brother to brother,
And as it is spent,
So shall it be replenished.
For love is eternal.
Love is stronger
Than
the currents of deep waters.
Love is stronger than
death.
And if a man hath not love,
He doth build a wall between him
And all the creatures of the earth,
And therein doth he dwell
In loneliness and pain.
Or he may become as an angry whirlpool
Which sucks into its depths
All that floats too near.
For the heart is a sea with mighty waves,
And love and wisdom must temper it,
As the warm sun breaks through the clouds
And quiets the restless sea.
He who hath found peace
with his brothers
Hath entered the
And
shall see God face to face.
Know this peace with thy
mind,
Desire this peace with
thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with
thy body.
Blessed is the Child of
Light
Who doth build on earth
The kingdom of heaven,
For
he shall dwell in both worlds.
Thou shalt follow the Law
Of the Brotherhood,
Which
saith that none shall have wealth,
And none shall be poor.
And all shall work
together
In
the garden of the Brotherhood.
Each shall follow his
own path,
And each shall commune
with his own heart.
For in the
There are many diverse flowers:
Who shall say that one is best
Because its color is purple,
Or that one is favored
Because its stalk is long and slender?
Though the brothers
Be of different complexion
Yet do they all toil
In the vineyard of the Earthly Mother,
And they all do lift their voices together
In praise of the Heavenly Father.
And together they break
the holy bread,
And in silence share the
holy meal
Of
thanksgiving.
There shall be no peace
among peoples
Till there be one garden
of the brotherhood
Over
the earth.
For how can there be peace
When each man pursueth his own gain
And doth sell his soul into slavery?
Thou, Child of Light,
Do ye gather with thy brothers
And then go forth
To teach the ways of the
Law
To those who would hear.
He who hath found peace
With the brotherhood of
man
Hath made himself
The
co-worker of God.
Know this peace with thy
mind,
Desire this peace with
thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with
thy body.
Blessed is the Child of Light
Who doth study the Book of the Law,
For he shall be as a candle
In the dark of night,
And an island of truth
In a sea of falsehood.
For know ye, that the written word
Which cometh from God
Is a reflection of the
Even as the bright stars
Reflect the face of heaven.
As the words of the Ancient Ones
Are etched with the hand of God
On the Holy Scrolls,
So is the Law engraved on the hearts
Of the faithful who do study them.
For it was said of old,
That in the beginning there were giants
In the earth,
And mighty men which were of old.
Men of renown.
And the Children of
Light
Shall guard and preserve
Their written word,
Lest we become again as
beasts,
And know not the Kingdom
of the Angels.
Know ye, too,
That only through the written word
Shalt thou find that Law
Which is unwritten.
As the spring which floweth from the
ground
Hath a hidden source
In the secret depths beneath the earth.
The written Law
Is the instrument by which
The unwritten Law is understood,
As the mute branch of a tree
Becomes a singing flute
In the hand of the shepherd.
Many there are
Who would stay in the tranquil
Valley of ignorance,
Where children play
And butterflies dance in the sun
For their short hour of life.
But none can tarry there long,
And ahead rise the somber
Mountains of learning.
Many there are
Who fear to cross,
And many there are
Who have fallen bruised and bleeding
From their steep and rugged slopes.
But faith is the guide
Over the gaping chasm,
And perseverance the foothold
In the jagged rocks.
Beyond the icy peaks of
struggle
Lies the peace and
beauty
Of the
Where the meaning of the
Law
Is
made known to the Children of Light.
Here in the center of
its forest
Stands the Tree of Life,
Mystery
of mysteries.
He who hath found peace
With the teachings of the Ancients,
Through the light of the mind
Through the light of nature,
And through the study of the Holy Word,
Hath entered the cloud-filled
Hall of the Ancients,
Where dwelleth the Holy
Brotherhood,
Of whom no man may speak.
Know this peace with thy mind,
Desire this peace with thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with thy body.
Blessed is the Child of Light
Who knoweth his Earthly Mother,
For she is the giver of life.
Know that the Mother is in thee,
And thou art in her.
She bore thee
And she giveth thee life.
She it was who gaveth thee thy body,
And to her shalt thou one day
Give it back again.
Know that the blood which runs in thee
Is born of the blood
Of thy Earthly Mother.
Her blood falls from the clouds,
Leaps up from the womb of the earth,
Babbles in the brooks of the mountains,
Flows wide in the rivers of the plains,
Sleeps in the lakes,
Rages mightily in the tempestuous seas.
Know that the air which thou dost breathe
Is born of the breath
Of thy Earthly Mother.
Her breath is the azure
In the heights of the heavens,
Soughs in the tops of the mountains,
Whispers in the leaves of the forest
Billows over the cornfields,
Slumbers in the deep valleys,
Burns hot in the desert.
Know that the hardness of thy bones
Is born of the bones
Of thy Earthly Mother,
Of the rocks and of the stones.
Know that the tenderness of thy flesh
Is born of the flesh
Of thy Earthly Mother,
She whose flesh waxeth yellow and red
In the fruits of the trees.
The light of thy eyes,
The hearing of thy ears,
These are born
Of the colors and the sounds
Of thy Earthly Mother,
Which doth enclose thee about,
As the waves of the sea enclose a fish,
As the eddying air a bird.
I tell thee in truth,
Man is the Son
Of the Earthly Mother,
And from her did the son of man
Receive his whole body,
Even as the body of the newborn babe
Is born of the womb of his mother.
I tell thee truly,
Thou art one with the Earthly Mother;
She is in thee and thou art in her.
Of her wert thou born,
In her dost thou live,
And to her shalt thou return again.
Keep, therefore, her laws,
For none can live long,
Neither be happy,
But he who honors his Earthly Mother
And keepth her laws.
For thy breath is her breath,
Thy blood her blood,
Thy bone her bone,
Thy flesh her flesh,
Thy eyes and thy ears
Are her eyes and ears.
He who hath found peace
With his Earthly Mother
Shall
never know death.
Know this peace with thy
mind,
Desire this peace with
thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with
thy body.
Blessed is the Child of Light
Who doth seek his Heavenly Father,
For he shall have eternal life.
He that dwelleth in the secret place
Of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow
Of the Almighty.
For he shall give his Angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
Know ye that the Lord hath been
Our dwelling place
In all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever he had formed
The earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting,
Hath there been love
Between the Heavenly Father
And his children.
And how shall this love be severed?
From the beginning
Until the ending of time
Doth the holy flame of love
Encircle the heads
Of the Heavenly Father
And the Children of Light:
How then shall this love be extinguished?
For not as a candle doth it burn,
Nor yet as a fire raging in the forest.
Lo, it burneth with the flame
Of Eternal Light,
And that flame cannot be consumed.
Ye that love thy
Heavenly Father,
Do ye
then his bidding:
Walk ye
with his Holy Angels,
And find thy peace with
his Holy Law:
Yea, it is the Law of laws.
Through his Law he hath made
The earth and the heavens to be one;
The mountains and the sea
Are his footstools.
With his hands he hath made us
And fashioned us,
And he gaveth us understanding
That we may learn his Law.
He is covered with Light
As with a garment:
He stretcheth out the heavens
Like a curtain.
He maketh the clouds his chariot;
He walketh upon the wings of the wind.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys,
And his breath is in the mighty trees.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth:
The strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his,
And his hands formed the dry land.
All the heavens declare the Glory of God,
And the firmament showeth his Law.
And to his children
Doth he bequeath his Kingdom,
To those who walk with his Angels,
And find their peace with his Holy Law.
Wouldst thou know more, my children?
How may we speak with our lips
That which cannot be spoken?
It is like a pomegranate eaten by a mute:
How then may he tell of its flavor?
If we say the Heavenly Father
Dwelleth in us,
Then are the heavens ashamed;
If we say he dwelleth without us,
It is falsehood.
The eye which scanneth the far horizon
And the eye which seeth the hearts of
men
He maketh as one eye.
He is not manifest,
He is not hidden.
He is not revealed,
Nor is he unrevealed.
My children, there are no words
To tell that which he is!
Only this do we know:
We are his children
And he is our Father
He is our God,
And we are the children of his pasture,
And the sheep of his hand.
He who hath found peace
With his Heavenly Father
Hath entered the
Sanctuary
Of the Holy Law,
And hath made a covenant
with God
Which
shall endure forever.
Know this peace with thy
mind,
Desire this peace with
thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with
thy body.
Though heaven and earth may pass away,
Not one letter of the Holy Law
Shall change or pass away.
For in the beginning was the Law,
And the Law was with God,
And the Law was God.
May the Sevenfold Peace
Of the Heavenly Father
Be with thee always.
The Dweller of Unal
the
detached one
Oft dream I of buried Atlantis,
lost in the ages
that have passed into night.
Aeon on aeon thou existed in beauty,
a light shining
through the darkness of night.
Mighty in power, ruling the
earth-born,
Lord of the Earth in Atlantis' day.
King of the nations, master of
wisdom,
LIGHT through SUNTAL,
Keeper of the way,
dwelt in his
the MASTER of UNAL,
LIGHT of the Earth
in Atlantis' day.
Master, HE, from a cycle beyond us,
living in bodies as
one among men.
Not as the earth-born,
HE from beyond us,
SUN of a cycle,
advanced beyond men.
Know ye, O man, that HORLET the
Master,
was never one with the children of men.
Far in the past time when Atlantis
first grew as a power,
appeared there one with the KEY of
WISDOM,
showing the way of
LIGHT to all.
Showed he to all men the path of
attainment,
way of the Light that flows among
men.
Mastering darkness, leading the MAN-SOUL,
upward to heights
that were One with the Light.
Divided the Kingdoms, HE into
sections.
Ten were they, ruled by children of
men.
Upon another, built HE a
built but not by the children of men.
Out of the ETHER called HE its substance,
moulded and formed by the power of
YTOLAN
into the forms HE built with His
mind.
Mile upon mile it covered the
space upon space it grew in its
might.
Black, yet not black, but dark like
the space-time,
deep in its heart
the ESSENCE of LIGHT.
Swiftly the
moulded and shaped by the WORD of the
DWELLER,
called from the
formless into a form.
Builded HE then, within it, great chambers,
filled them with forms called forth
from the ETHER,
filled them with wisdom called forth
by His mind.
Formless was HE within his
yet was HE formed in the image of
men.
Dwelling among them yet not of them,
strange and far different
was HE from the children of men.
Chose HE then from among the people,
THREE who became
his gateway.
Choose HE the THREE from the Highest
to become his links
with Atlantis.
Messengers they, who carried his
council,
to the kings of the
children of men.
Brought HE
forth others and taught them wisdom;
teachers, they, to
the children of men.
Placed HE them on the
teachers of LIGHT
to men.
Each of those who were thus chosen,
taught must he be
for years five and ten.
Only thus could he have understanding
to bring
LIGHT to the
children of men.
Thus there came into being the
for the Master of
men.
I, THOTH, have ever sought wisdom,
searching in
darkness and searching in Light.
Long in my youth I traveled the
pathway,
seeking ever new
knowledge to gain.
Until after much striving, one of the
THREE,
to me brought the LIGHT.
Brought HE to me the commands of the
DWELLER,
called me from the
darkness into the LIGHT.
Brought HE me, before the DWELLER,
deep in the
There on the great throne, beheld I,
the DWELLER, clothed with the LIGHT
and flashing with
fire.
Down I knelt before that great
wisdom,
feeling the LIGHT
flowing through me in waves.
Heard I then
the voice of the DWELLER:
"O darkness, come into the
Light.
Long have ye sought the pathway to LIGHT.
Each soul on earth that loosens its
fetters,
shall soon be made
free from the bondage of night.
Forth from the darkness have ye
arisen,
closer approached the Light of your goal.
Here ye shall dwell as one of my
children,
keeper of records gathered by wisdom,
instrument thou of the LIGHT from
beyond.
Ready be thou made to do what is
needed,
preserver of wisdom through the ages
of darkness,
that shall come fast on the children of men.
Live thee here and drink of all
wisdom.
Secrets and mysteries unto thee shall
unveil."
Then answered I,
the MASTER OF CYCLES, saying:
"O Light, that
descended to men,
give thou to me of thy wisdom that
I might be a teacher of men.
Give thou of thy LIGHT that I may be
free."
Spoke then to me again, the MASTER:
"Age after age shall ye live
through
your wisdom, Aye, when o'er Atlantis
the ocean waves roll,
holding the Light, though hidden in
darkness,
ready to come when e'er thou shalt call.
Go thee now and learn greater wisdom.
Grow thou through LIGHT to Infinity's
ALL."
Long then dwelt I in the
DWELLER until at last I was One with
the LIGHT.
Followed I then the path to the star
planes,
followed I
then the pathway to LIGHT.
Deep into Earth's heart I followed
the pathway,
learning the secrets, below as above;
learning the pathway to the HALLS of
AMENTI;
learning the LAW that balances the world.
To Earth's hidden chambers pierced I
by my wisdom,
deep through the Earth's crust, into
the pathway,
hidden for ages
from the children of men.
Unveiled before me,
ever more wisdom until I reached a
new knowledge:
found that all is part of an ALL,
great and yet greater than all that
we know.
Searched I
Infinity's heart through all the ages.
Deep and yet deeper, more mysteries I
found.
Now, as I look back through the ages,
know I that wisdom is boundless,
ever grown greater throughout the
ages,
One with Infinity's greater than all.
Light there was in ancient ATLANTIS.
Yet, darkness, too, was hidden in
all.
Fell from the Light into the
darkness,
some who had risen
to heights among men.
Proud they became because of their
knowledge,
proud were they of their place among
men.
Deep delved they into the forbidden,
opened the gateway
that led to below.
Sought they to gain ever more
knowledge but
seeking to bring it
up from below.
He who descends below must have
balance,
else he is bound by lack of our
Light.
Opened, they then,
by their knowledge,
pathways forbidden
to man.
But, in His
lay in his AGWANTI, while through
Atlantis,
His soul roamed free.
Saw HE the Atlanteans,
by their magic,
opening the gateway that would
bring to Earth a great woe.
Fast fled His soul then, back to His
body.
Up HE arose from His AGWANTI.
Called HE
the Three mighty messengers.
Gave the commands
that shattered the world.
Deep 'neath Earth's crust to the
HALLS of AMENTI,
swiftly descended
the DWELLER.
Called HE then on the powers the
Seven Lords wielded;
changed the Earth's
balance.
Down sank Atlantis beneath the dark
waves.
Shattered the gateway that had been
opened;
shattered the
doorway that led down below.
All of the
and part of the
Preserved HE them to be the teachers,
Lights on the path for those to come
after,
Lights for the
lesser children of men.
Called HE then, I THOTH, before him,
gave me commands for all I should do, saying;
"Take thou, O THOTH, all of your
wisdom.
Take all your records, Take all your
magic.
Go thou forth as a teacher of men.
Go thou forth reserving the records
until in time LIGHT grows among men.
LIGHT shalt thou be all through the
ages,
hidden yet found by enlightened men.
Over all Earth, give WE ye power,
free thou to give or take it away.
Gather thou now the sons of Atlantis.
Take them and flee to the people of
the
Fly to the land of the Children of
KHEM."
Then gathered I the
sons of Atlantis.
Into the spaceship I brought all my
records,
brought the records
of sunken Atlantis.
Gathered I all of my powers,
instruments many of
mighty magic.
Up then we rose on wings of the
morning.
High we arose above the
leaving behind the Three and DWELLER,
deep in the HALLS 'neath the
closing the pathway
to the LORDS of the Cycles.
Yet ever to him who has knowing,
open shall be the path to AMENTI.
Fast fled we then on the wings of the
morning,
fled to the land of
the children of KHEM.
There by my power,
I conquered and ruled them.
Raised I to LIGHT,
the children of
KHEM.
Deep 'neath the rocks,
I buried my spaceship,
waiting the time when man might be
free.
Over the spaceship,
erected a marker in the form
of a lion yet like unto man.
There 'neath the image rests yet my
spaceship,
forth to be brought when need shall
arise.
Know ye, O man, that far in the
future,
invaders shall come from out of the
deep.
Then awake, ye who
have wisdom.
Bring forth my ship and conquer with
ease.
Deep 'neath the image lies my secret.
Search and find in the pyramid I
built.
Each to the other is the Keystone;
each the gateway
that leads into LIFE.
Follow the KEY I leave behind me.
Seek and the doorway to LIFE shall be
thine.
Seek thou in my pyramid,
deep in the passage
that ends in a wall.
Use thou the KEY of the SEVEN,
and open to thee the pathway will
fall.
Now unto thee I have given my wisdom.
Now unto thee I have given my way.
Follow the pathway.
Solve thou my secrets.
Unto thee I have shown the way.
THE WAY IS EASY AND WITHOUT EFFORT
From “Way of the Heart” Lesson 10 of 35
teachings of the Christ Mind. – Jeshua ben Joseph
Now, we begin.
And indeed, once again, greetings unto you, beloved and
holy Children of Light and of Love Divine. As always, I come forth to abide with you in
perfect trust, in perfect acceptance, and in perfect peace. As always, I come forth to abide with you from
that place which we share eternally as the one and only begotten Son of
God. I am, therefore, that Mind which
whispers to you in each moment of your inspiration. I am, indeed then, that Mind that sneaks into
your mind in the space between two fearful thoughts and reminds you of the
Truth that sets you free.
Once, I was a man - that is, just like you. I once turned my attention and became
identified with a unique being that was birthed in time and faded away from
time. And I walked upon your plane as
all men and women do. But as I walked
upon your planet, I began to ponder the meaning of Creation, the purpose of my
very existence. And while others seemed
to be gleefully caught up in, or at least surrendered to, the ways of the
world, seeking out their momentary distractions, their attempts to gain and
control as much wealth as they could, and all of the rest, I would often wander
off alone - to sit beneath the trees beside a flowing stream, to try to unlock
the mystery that shows forth itself as the beauty of a flower, to try to see
the power that revealed itself as the wind that would dance across the grasses,
to count the sparkling diamonds shimmering across the surface of a lake as the
morning sun arose to shine its light upon it.
And I began to learn to ask of that Source, that Mystery,
Father,
One that has birthed me, why am I? Where
am I? Who am I?
My
desire, then, increasingly became to know the Truth that could set all mankind
free. And I discovered that unless that
freedom became fully manifest in me, it made no sense to talk about it with
others. And so I sought out the greatest
of minds, the best of teachers. And yes,
I was blessed by a family structure already dedicated to understanding the
mysteries of what they knew as God. And
they led me to many such teachers.
And as my own wisdom began to evolve, the teachers would
look at me and go,
Hmm, something interesting is occurring here.
But there were already those who knew more about me than I
knew yet about myself - prophets, seers, astrologers, the wise ones of many
cultures, who knew already that into the framework of the consensus mind of mankind, which you
would call your collective
consciousness, there was to be dropped a pebble, into that still clear
pool, that would create ripples that would begin to change how the
consciousness of mankind perceived itself.
I did not yet know these things for myself, for the very birth into this
world was yet veiled in mystery for me, just as your birth was veiled in mystery
for you, as you took on being
human.
And as I grew, I began to have revealed to me, in the depth
of my silent prayer, and in the depth of my very silent meditation, glimmers,
insights, recognitions, remembrances of other dimensions. I began to develop the ability to be in
communication with masters of my lineage who had long since left the
planet. I began to understand that
consciousness is not limited to the space and volume of a body, at all. And as I watched the people in their busy
work, I began to see that the vast majority of beings totally confused themselves with the body.
They lived as if they dwelt within the body and, therefore, were
imprisoned in some strange way. They
lived as if what occurred to the body occurred to them. They lived as if they did not know that they
could transcend the body at any moment, that they could taste the vast expanse
of consciousness, that they could journey to other times and places with little
more than a surrendering of attention to the world they had made.
At first, I did not understand these things and I perceived
myself to be quite odd. And within me, there were conflicts, as the fears in my consciousness arose, the
fears that are part of the human consensus reality, the conflict.
Shall
I remain like everyone else? Perhaps I
should return to my father’s carpentry shop and simply accept that I am
destined to just be a carpenter.
But there were other voices that spoke to me and called me,
that would come often in the night. And
as I developed my ability to discern these other realities, these other
dimensions, by shifting my attention from the world of the body to the world of
inner vision, often they would come in the night and stand beside my bed. And I came to know who they were. I came to recognize the masters and teachers
of a very ancient lineage of which I was a part. And they would come and whisper to me,
Forget
not the purpose for which you are sent forth from the Mind of God, for through
you there shall be birthed the beginning of an ancient remembrance. And your life shall become that which
demonstrates to many the Truth that only Love is
real.
The point of all of this is simple. I want to convey to you, yet again, that the
life I lived as a man was not unlike your very own. I began veiled in mystery, a child among
children, a human being, struggling to make sense of his world. Yes, there was within me something calling, a
longing to know something that the world did not seem to teach. But is it not true that many of you have felt
that same call, that same longing - to touch what is invisible, to see what
cannot be seen, to hear what ears have never heard, to embrace what arms cannot
reach, to abide in perfect peace and perfect trust?
Beloved friends, understand well, then, and I say to you
yet again, that I come only as your brother and your friend - one who has
walked as you walk, one who has breathed as you breathe, one who has cried as
you cry, one who has laughed as you laugh.
I am as you are. And if there be anything that I can give unto
you, it is simply this: As you look upon
your life, and every event that unfolds within it, every time you feel that you
have failed, every time that you become conflicted, every time you’re sure that
you’ll never be able to transcend all of these ups and downs and emotional
waves that seem to come with living in your world - remember, I have overcome the world. And because I have done it, it is done for you, already.
And why?
Because we share the same Infinite Field of Mind that far transcends all
levels, dimensions, of manifestation.
You can tap into what has already occurred. You
need only look upon me as your brother and friend, and acknowledge that the world has been overcome, and then accept
the freedom, which is the
effect of its overcoming, as your own.
So that you learn to sit in your chair, after your five
minutes of abiding as Christ, in which you say to yourself,
Here,
I am free. Heaven is now. The past is passed away, and I choose
anew. And, this day, I commit myself to
teaching only Love by sharing only loving thoughts. This one day, I will look upon each one that
comes into my experience and I will first breathe deeply the presence of the
Holy Spirit. And I will look out through
eyes transformed by the simple acknowledgment of the Truth: All minds are joined, and I see not a
stranger before me, but one who walks as I walk, who feels as I feel, who longs
as I long, who is humbled as I am humbled, who prays for peace as I have
prayed. And therefore, I will give them
what they seek. And in that giving, I
receive it.
The way is so simple and so easy…..
that the mind of the world overlooks it - “It simply cannot
be.” But that which is simple seems
impossible to that which insists on complexity.
And a mind that insists on conflict simply cannot accept that there is another way. And yet what waits before you, then, is
simply this: In the end of all of your
struggles, in the end of all of your doubts, and in the end of all of the moments
of your unconscious conforming
to the mind of the world, there yet remains the simple choice to be made - the
choice to acknowledge the Truth that has already
set you free.
I
and my Father are One.
It has been that way forever. It
was accomplished in the being of Jeshua ben Joseph, who revealed to me the Truth of myself, because
he loved me. And if he can do it, I can
do it. And even in this moment, I accept
my destiny to walk this Earth awake and at peace, in mastery and not in
fear. And I begin my ministry now.
For who can you seek that can heal you? Who can you discover that can bring some form
of magic to you that can overcome your resistance to the Truth? Look high and low and you will not find
them. Seek forever, and you will remain
a seeker forever. For
the Truth is set within your heart and all power under Heaven and Earth is
given unto you. It is that power that changes the momentum
of the mind and heals every wounded perception.
In the end, then, of all
seeking, you must look into the mirror and decide to be the one who heals himself/herself. You
are the one who decides, from infinite freedom, how to use the power of your
mind in each moment. Therefore, the only
question that a seeker of Truth really truly need ask himself/herself is
this:
Would
I know conflict or peace? Would I be
right or happy? Would I see the complete
neutrality of all events in this world as wisps of a dream, being birthed and
passing away? Would I see myself whole
and complete? For as I look upon the
world, I have judged myself. And as I
look upon myself, I judge the world.
This was the simple secret
that I once discovered when I walked upon your planet - that
it wasn’t about achieving some grand mystical state of consciousness. It wasn’t about acquiring great powers that
could attract the attention of thousands.
It wasn’t even about being able to manifest, although these powers may
indeed often express themselves through the mind as it awakens. It is about accepting the Truth that is true
always, and being determined to allow that Truth to be the foundation from
which you enjoin each and every
moment of your experience.
I
am awake. I am safe. I am at peace. What do I truly want this moment to be
for? For as I decree it, so shall it
be.
Beloved friends, the way is easy and without effort.
You exist to extend your treasure.
And your treasure is that which is laid up in Heaven through the
decision to remember only your loving thoughts, to extend only loving thoughts,
to allow your actions to express or to manifest, in the field of time, the
good, the beautiful, and the holy. And never is your freedom taken from
you. Never in any circumstance do you
lose the innocent freedom to teach only Love, to be the presence of peace, to
recognize that the world can give you nothing, just as the world can take
nothing from you.
When a child goes through a shift of awareness - you call
it the maturation process - there comes a point, not by struggle, not by
design, not by much processing, not by any manner of strategies. The child merely, in an instant, looks at the
toys that he has been playing with and simply transcends them. And the parents come home and the child has
taken the toy truck and put it away in the closet. Hmm. The doll is put on the window sill and a book
is picked up instead. Who makes the
change? No one outside
that child.
And when you put aside any negative habit, as you would
perceive it to be, when you have given up placing value in something that no
longer serves you, you merely transcend it, and it is done with - no big deal,
no one does it for you, you simply decide.
You pull back the value
you had placed on it, and the objects that were the symbols of what you were valuing merely drop out of your
life.
In just this way, un-enlightenment can be put away as
though it were a toy that you have outgrown - by merely looking at all of the
effects of un-enlightenment, and then to ask the question,
Is
this what I wish to have continue as my
experience? Or am I willing to put the
doll on the window sill, and pick up a book instead?
A book that
speaks of Life, a book that is filled with wisdom, a book that teaches you how
to step lightly in the world, to be in the world but not of it. And that book is the depth of your
consciousness in which all things are already written. And that depth finds its source in your heart. And you enter it, therein, through
forgiveness, through the process of relinquishing
the world - not hating the world, not despising the world, but simply
relinquishing it. You allow your time to serve you in the
process of relinquishing what does not serve you any longer, and what only
disturbs your peace.
And as you cultivate that practice you will find that the
peace that is already within you, that you’ve touched a thousand times in a
million different ways, begins to grow more constant - like the rays of the sun
beginning to filter through the fog that has settled into the mountain valley,
obscuring the clarity of all things.
Your peace descends gently, like a dove, descending, as some would say,
through the crown, down through the brain-mind, and down even to the heart, the
abdomen, and throughout the cells of the body, while the body lasts.
Gently relinquishing the world rests on your decision to
choose to teach only Love, because you have realized that when you don’t, the
effect that you know immediately is painful, it is conflicted, it is
unfulfilling, and that that is what you want no longer. Here, you have begun to transcend the world
that you have made and to reclaim the world made for you, a world that rests in
perfect union, in the union of Father and Son, God and Offspring,
Creator/Created. The way is easy and without effort.
What value have you ever placed upon the world that has
restored to you the peace that you seek?
Oh,
this automobile will do it; this relationship will do it; this new career will
do it. If only I can take a trip to the
far corners of the world, then I will be at peace.
And so peace never quite comes.
A creator, abiding in enlightenment, knows that all events
are neutral, so neutral that they have no effect, except for those who choose
to be caught up in illusions. The
creator, awakened, merely creates out of devotion to the Mystery of That which has
created him or her. The mind of an
enlightened creator does not arise in the morning and say,
How
can I survive yet another day in this world?
In the morning, when an enlightened creator arises, the
question is,
How,
this day, might I extend the treasure of the good, the holy and the
beautiful? How can I, right where I am,
experience these treasures, even within the space and volume of this body? How can I look lovingly upon what my physical
eyes show me, so that I discern or extract the good, the holy, and the
beautiful, and therefore give them to myself?
The mind of an enlightened
creator knows that of themselves they do nothing. But in each moment of decision, they can allow the great power and mystery of
Love to direct their course. And they can begin to utilize time to refine their ability to hear only the Voice for Love -
moment by moment, breath by breath, day by day, until time is translated into
eternity. And the mind rests, reclines,
in its perfect union with God.
Events still occur.
The world is still what the world will choose to be, unaware that there
walks in its midst one who is awake,
who needs to make no show. They merely are the presence of wakefulness -
knowing that each moment they will now be informed by the guidance of the Comforter, the guidance of
right-mindedness, the guidance of enlightenment, so that they are no longer
attached to fearing,
What
should I say? What should I do? How will this person take it? How will that person take it?
The world is no longer a concern.
And they experience their
very life…….
as an ongoing flowing mystery, as though something else were living through
them. And this is the meaning of my
friend’s words, “Let that Mind be in you which was in our Lord, Christ Jesus,”
as you would read in your bible. That
Mind is the mind of perfect freedom. It
doesn’t belong to anyone, but it can be cultivated to flow through you. But only - only - if
every fiber of your beingness is
wholly committed to holiness. You can’t leave a finger outside and get to
Heaven. All of your mind, all
of your energy, all of your
gifts, all of your very
awareness must become committed to being the presence of Peace. And this
is what no one can do for you.
Sitting at the feet of enlightened teachers, listening to me on your
tape or your video, will not do it for
you.
And the wisest of students are those that hear the word and
put it into practice, diligently, for
themselves - not for their mother, not for their father, not for their
spouse, not for their brother, not for their sister, not for the sake of the
planet, not for the sake of the universe, not for the sake of the new dawn that
is coming, not for the sake of anything but themselves. For their
Self is what God created. And that Self calls out to you to honor it, by separating your Self from the illusions that you
have allowed to make a home in your mind, and being wholly committed to teaching only Love.
There is no other way.
Yes, you can learn to sit in meditation and allow the mind and body to
float free, to relax. Yes, you can learn
rituals that help to focus your attention so that you remember what you are
committed to, and the distractions of the world don’t seem to quite catch you
or hook you as much. There are many
strategies that you can enjoy and experience.
But in the end, it is only this:
a quiet choice within, that no one recognizes, that no one sees, that no
one hears. This is why I once
shouted at the Pharisees,
Oh
yes, well, you indeed get your reward standing on the street corners letting
everybody know that you’re fasting and praying, when, indeed, you should go
into your own closet to pray.
That is, to be in your own privacy, making not a show, but
simply using each moment to reaffirm your commitment to learning all that Love
is by teaching it. And by the word, teach, I mean simply that you choose
to express only Love in each
moment.
Forgiveness
is an act through which you learn what Love is, that carries you into a transcendence of the
world. Sharing only loving thoughts - supporting
thoughts - as you look gently upon the Christ in another, is a way that takes
you into the transcendence of the world. Looking upon all things of this world and
seeing their perfect harmlessness, their lack of ability to constrain you or
imprison you, is a way that takes you beyond the world.
And yet all of these things rest on the practice of
“seeking first the Kingdom,” which means not to believe in me, not to have some
theological notion about what God is, not to adhere to a certain religion, or a
certain church doctrine. The
Imagine reaching a point where, just prior to every action
that you engage, without ritual, without difficulty, without the grand shows
and displays, the burning of the much incense and the lighting of the forty
million candles, hmm, and all of the Gregorian chants or the rock and roll, or
whatever you choose - without any
of it - in the silent temple of your heart, you make a simple choice:
In
this moment, I am going to discover what it means to teach only Love.
It
might be a simple smile. It might be to
let your eyes gaze at the beauty of a flower, and go,
Aah, it is very good.
It
might be to eat your breakfast and actually be there while you are eating it, instead of
letting your mind be running about to the office.
Here, beloved friends, is the way to the Truth that sets
you free. You must absolutely become wholly committed to
being awake for no other reason than that you have realized you have no other
choice (you have already made them all and they’ve only led to pain),
that your Self is calling out to be recognized for what it is - an awakened master,
the presence of Christ in you, that would inform every step, inform every
decision, inform the quality of your perception, inform the very nature of your
forever-expanding, transparent consciousness.
For it is your consciousness, alone,
that can reach out and embrace all created things, until you literally realize
that all things have arisen from
within you!
That’s how big
you are! That’s how grand you are! And why? Because that’s all you are! You are the
ocean from which waves and waves of dimensions and worlds have arisen. That Mind is what you are required to let be
in you, even as once it was within me, as I walked upon your Earth. Do
not make it difficult.
And whenever you hear of a teacher teaching this, or a
teacher teaching that, ask yourself this:
Do
they offer me simplicity or complexity?
Do they offer an ordinary peace, or must I have several trappings around
me? Do they give me complex meditations
and prayers and things to do, or do they simply remind me of the Truth and ask
me to rest in it? Will they tell me that
I need to go on a thousand pilgrimages?
Or do they remind me that when I make my cup of tea in the morning,
Heaven is present, if I will remember who is making the tea?
Christ is.
Be you, therefore, not distracted. For in the end of this Age there is coming
forth a whole smorgasbord of those who profess to be teachers of enlightenment,
who will guide you into all knowledge.
Look carefully and see, do they demand of you that you follow them? Do they demand of you that you give up your
own discernment? Or do they egg you on
to look deeper within:
What
are you feeling? What do you think? What do you want to do? Are you willing to accept responsibility for
the effect? What do you believe? What do you want? You are free.
I am equal to you. I’m just in
the role as a temporary guide for you and someday you’ll be far beyond me.
How do they speak?
What do they teach? Is their fear
filtering into their words? Do they
believe that they must teach you to control the forces of nature, the forces of
the mind? Do they teach you to protect
yourself against evil? There are
many, and there will be many more. And
when you hear these things coming from them, turn and flee from their
presence! For you do not need them. You are already beyond them.
Ask only,
How
can I extend my treasure this day?
And lay up treasures where moth and dust cannot corrupt,
that is, where time and materiality and the body and the world cannot “hook
you,” but rather lay up treasures which are in Heaven: forgiveness, peace, unlimitedness,
recognition of your unlimited power, that which brings you joy and puts a smile
upon your countenance. Lay up for
yourself these treasures and all things shall be added unto you.
For there is a way of being in the world ……
that requires no planning or striving, though to enter it does
require the relinquishing of fear. To
enter it requires a commitment to teaching only Love, until the mind is again
whole and undivided. There is a way of
being in the world that isn’t here at all.
The body still abides. Yes, you
still act just like everybody thinks you act.
That is, they know your name, they know where you live. You know which car you’re supposed to drive, you know who you go home to at night. But,
through it all, there is pervaded in your consciousness a transparency as you look upon all
things.
And whatever feelings arise, come and go. But somehow you begin to recognize that you
are much larger than the things that come and go, that
you are watching a dance of shadows, a dream, gently passing by, that is gone
in a cosmic split second. This does not
become a way in which you deny
your experience, but it gives you the freedom to embrace it and live
it, totally, with passion, with purpose, with power,
and in perfect freedom
- no anxiety, no pressure, just the
willingness to dance in the world of dreams, while remaining awake. Hmm.
For those of you that are hearing this message in a
consecutive manner, if, indeed, you’ve been putting your five minutes into
practice, you are already carrying yourself closer and closer or, perhaps, more
and more deeply, into the transparency I’m describing for you. And that transparency grows to a point, you
might think of it as a critical mass, when suddenly you as a beingness can no longer
even hold the thought of yourself as a body in space and time. And then the body simply dissolves away. And your consciousness will never experience
the limitations of the body again. But
you will bring the joys that bodily experience taught you of with you. For they are imprinted in
your consciousness forever. This
Earth is a beautiful place, but it is a pale reflection, only, of the radiant,
transcendent beauty of the good and the holy that pervades my Father’s
Creation. Love it, embrace it, thank it, but do not cling to it.
Learn, then, to teach only
Love.
Peace, then, be unto you always. And always
am I with you. Amen.
