Who is Jesus?


Beloveds,

Before we get to a clear explanation of who Jesus is I have to do some forgiving and healing first. Join me.

We have to get to the current stuff, the "How do we actually BE CHRIST" stuff, the exciting stuff. For this I have to get over and through the perceived damage the "church", after the Apostles, did to the message of Jesus. For this I would like us all to join in the prayer below and for this specific purpose I am going to enter "the church after the Apostles" in the ____________ space. Join me in this and afterwards if you have some forgiving and relationship healing to do with any person over all time or any organisation or group or whatever then insert them or that in the ____________ space.

Here goes:

I envelop myself and you, _____________, now in Love, Divine Love.
GOD is LOVE.
I ask GOD who is in us and us who are in GOD,
I ask LOVE in us and us in LOVE,
to transmute all pain and grief from all time into Truth-Light;
to remove all pain and grief, illusions and lies from our hypothalami, our Hearts which are One with Divine HEART, our spleens, our DNA, transform all that to LOVE
for LOVE is all that is and we embrace NOW - Wholeheartedly BE-ing Love.
GOD's love for us is ever-present, Unconditional and everlasting.
We are within GOD and GOD is within us so why would GOD not love GOD.
There is nothing we could ever say, think, do or be that would ever separate us from GOD's Love
or nót say, think, do or be that would ever separate us from GOD's Love.
We are Light.
We are Life.
We are Love.
I Am We Are.
And So It Is.

Great! GOD is the Greatest!

So, back to our theme for this post: Who is Jesus?

At some point I must also accept you now know who Jesus is so that we can get on with BE-ing CHRIST, Christ Conscious, so we can live fully as Children of GOD who claimed their birthright as gods in the making.

Oh and by the way, I am not continually going to state Bible verses, Qur'an verses, A Course In Miracles verses to state on what authority I am saying things - I'm not going to constantly state: "I get this here or I get that there", no, all of this is a part of me, a part of my consciousness, so where do I get it? Who says this or that? I do. Who am I? I Am Wholeheartedly submitted to the Will of the One True GOD, CREATOR of All, seen and unseen, known and unknown, The SOURCE of All Life. To further serve on this volunteer mission, together with other beloveds of mine, I am not affiliated to one specific religion for GOD is bigger than all religions put together and I serve that GOD.

When I left the church at 18, I went searching for truth and eventually found Truth. Now :-) Truth can not be explained or written down - you have to find and experience it yourself. Truth is not from mind so therefore it cannot be described or understood by mind - only experienced by your being. Truth is infinite, mind is finite. Truth is never-changing, mind has to change and submit to Truth. The mind has to accept that it can never comprehend Truth. The mind is a tool that you, the Real you, use to operate your earthsuit. We are Spirit who takes up a man or a woman. We are not human taking up Spirit. So, how can I be of any assistance for myself and The People On The Way, the Way of Perfection? I can reveal to myself and others what Truth is not. Point to the lies and padam padam (step-by-step) we release more and more lies and programming and BE more and more Who We Really Are in Reality, in Truth.

OK, let's get to who Jesus is so we can get to how to follow his example and teachings on how to BE sons and daughters of GOD.


Jesus is the name of one who was a man BUT saw the face of CHRIST in all his brothers and sisters and remembered GOD.

So he became identified with CHRIST... a man no longer BUT at one with GOD.
When one identifies with being human then one is in consciousness a son of man/a daughter of man. When one rebirths oneself through Spirit by remembering that one is Spirit who took up an expression of humanness then one is a son of GOD/a daughter of GOD in Consciousness and Reality but one have always been a Child of GOD in Reality because GOD's LIFE/ CONSCIOUSNESS/ INTELLIGENCE/ SUBSTANCE is the same as yours. The flame and the fire is the same stuff. This is reverting to one's GOD-Created likeness.

Jesus, consciously BE-ing CHRIST, sees illusions and identify them as what they ARE. Jesus remains a savior because he saw the false without accepting it as true. CHRIST, the SUBSTANCE of GOD, needed his form that HE might appear to humanity and save them from their own illusions.

In his complete identification with CHRIST Jesus became what all of us must BE:
The Perfect Daughter/Son/Child of GOD; GOD's One Creation; GOD's Happiness; Forever like GOD-Self; One with GOD.

Jesus leads us back to GOD because he saw the road before him, and he followed it.

He made a clear distinction between the false and the true.

He offered us a clear demonstration that it is impossible to kill GOD's Son/Daughter/Child.

He embraced and manifested the three-step-program:
Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action - BE-ing the Will of GOD. What is the Will of GOD? The Will of GOD is always LOVE. We are Expressions of the Eternal Presence.
(See A Course In Miracles for more.)
Let's keep it short and sweet and from now on we can look further at BE-ing CHRIST ourselves. That is what Jesus wants. He left this dimension so that we can BE.

Will he come again? In two ways yes. CHRIST is here already as we manifest our own CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS. But will Jesus come again? You know what? I really think so for the Angels said so when the Apostles were staring into thin air as Jesus said goodbye. But we do not have to concern ourselves with that. We have enough to do as it is.

Make straight the Way for CHRIST - do the self-work; eat from the Tree of LIFE; discard the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil; do the energy/LOVE work; fully activate the energy centres within so that we can completely open our crowns to drink from our CHRIST energy centre, our own CHRIST Water of LIFE Fountain - just above our heads, the GOLDEN Light - ready and waiting there to be grasped and drank so we never thirst again and live forever.


That is the good news.

Jesus Unedited.

Author G.E. Hansen who lovingly brings us The Gift Of series of books.

Beloveds,

It is with great JOY that I have been reading a series of books that put the true teachings of Jesus up where they belong - The Gifts of the Apostles. The Bible does have the Sermon on the Mount and that does basically contain a lot of it, but not all of it. Sharilyn Stalling was the instrument of GOD answering a prayer of mine, "GOD, show me". She introduced the books into my life at the most opportune time.

Sharilyn has a life mission:

To alleviate suffering for humanity, one person, one family, one group at a time, and to help each individual remember there is nothing anyone can do, say, think or be that would ever separate him or her from the unconditional love of Divinity/God.

At the age of 18 after being officially accepted into the Dutch Reformed Church I left the church the same day. The vow my parents made at the day of my baptism was fulfilled. I could go and search for truth elsewhere for I always felt the church limited GOD-Knowledge and the teachings of Jesus.

I found that the teachings of Jesus, the same knowledge the Apostles took into the world, were butchered by the ones who took over the reigns after they killed all the Apostles. The Expression of Christ built on the Rock Petra, Cephas, Simon Peter, was replaced by the "church" with the intent to let humanity not reach their full potential. The People of The Way were murdered and the new followers of the new religion that was concocted were called Christians. The information in the Bible was edited. The message from Jesus that we are all equal Children of GOD already, that we are gods in the making, that the Kingdom of Heaven is within first then manifest without, that we have to develop our chakras through right thought, right speech and right action, that we have to meditate with the Developing Breath to open our 1000 lotus crown chakra and pull in the golden light from our Christ chakra just above the head and so attain full Christ Consciousness - all of the information that will let a Child of GOD BE a Child of GOD was removed. The knowledge of the Apostles being chosen way before that incarnation from the 12 Astrological sectors of the Universe was suppressed. Anybody who kept to the abolished information was simply killed as witches and heretics. And thus the lie was formed and set into place through fear of burning at the stake for speaking against the "church".

The "church" said Jesus is the only son of GOD and they successfully made him an idol to be worshiped and so Jesus' whole message that we do not need any intermediary between us and GOD was destroyed. The happening of the curtain in the temple, hindering the common people to enter the Holiest of Holies, which tore open from the top to the bottom, at the time Jesus consciously left his body on the cross, was in vain. His words that 'nobody goes to the Father except through me' was misinterpreted to one will only go to heaven if you worship Jesus. With the knowledge of the Christ chakra removed, the chakra which gives one full Christ Consciousness which leads to GOD-Consciousness - The Way John the Baptist said we must make straight for Christ - people's consciousness could successfully be suppressed to stay in ego-consciousness.

The fact that all of us can attain Christ Consciousness, and how to, was swept under the carpet. But truth prevails.

So, on my quest to find the truth, after I left the church, I discovered many things but I always felt a bit hindered to live it completely because I always had the nagging question: "But does GOD and Jesus, whom I love so much, approve of this knowledge?"

A few friends and I embraced the knowledge in any case. Nobody stoned us or burnt us at the stake but the emotional abuse we have endured was not nice. To be called a heretic when in my heart I knew we were busy with truth was painful. To be judged and rejected by the same people one yearns to free is never nice. Worst is to be laughed at and labelled as crazy. But Master Jesus told us we would receive what he received. He warned us.

It is with great pleasure that I am reading The Gifts of the Apostles series of books lovingly recorded from the Akashic Records by G.E. Hansen. For the first time I can really speak the true message of Jesus, the true message of Christ Consciousness, with authority because now I know that everything I discovered after leaving the church is actually exactly what he taught the Apostles originally. Now I truly do not care what other people think of me or what I say anymore. I know who I am and I have a job to do. The time of being my own biggest hindrance to my job has passed.

See at the end of this blog post for links to where you may find some of the books yourself. In time all 12 of the books will be available, GOD-Willing.

Below, with the permission from G.E. Hansen, I post an excerpt from The Gift of Matthew because I love to share the real Jesus with you. And below that an introduction to G.E. Hansen.

The time for speaking in parables and symbols has gone. The time to speak clearly, with the responsibility added that the listener must understand before the speaker may be released to move on, is upon us.

THE GIFT OF MATTHEW - G.E. HANSEN


CHAPTER 4



The Master had a phrase for it, ‘to hunger and thirst after righteousness’ sake. That described me exactly and I didn’t know how hungry and how thirsty I had been until He gave me to eat and to drink. I’m not speaking of physical food, you understand, nor do I speak just of His teachings that were unbelievably exhilarating. I speak of the Power emanating from Him. He was a man as other men in the sense of physique but oh, He was so much more! Merely to be in His presence was enough to flood me with euphoria. Away from Him a hundred questions troubled me, at His side they no longer mattered. It was enough I bask in His Aura.

          Oh yes, He spoke of such things, though He called the aura by another name.  He called it man’s field of presence, and He spoke of other powers, too, and currents of powers that moved in, for, and by nature, prevalent on land, sea and in the air. He said outrageous things in the calmest voice and we accepted them because something deep inside us recognized they were the truth. I never once doubted anything He said although being led to behold the world superhumanly was often confusing. I clearly recall how befuddled I was at my first session.            “Think ye that when ye walk thy feet are moved by conscious will?” He was saying when I joined the group. “No, ye move not by will alone. Ye are infused by the Power of the Father’s Love.”

          “Love has power to move objects?” James Zebedee asked, his black brows bunched together in thought. .

            “Our Father’s expression of love has this power. When thee grow in love, ye shall do likewise,” Jesus answered.

          “I don’t understand,” Simon objected. He and I both, I thought.

            “Our Father is a Father of love and upon His love is creation built. All that Is, is fed by His Love. Some there are who say, ‘this is dead’ or ‘that is alive’. I say to thee, nothing is dead. For anything to exist it is alive. What lives, lives on the strength flowing from the Father’s love.”

          “Could you be more explicit?” John asked. “Death is commonplace.”

          “Transition is constant,” Jesus replied tranquilly. “What men call death does not exist.

Yet, it is to save God’s little children from the great death that I am come.”

          “Great death?” Andrew puckered his brow in perplexity. “Are there differing deaths?”

            “Let’s not go into that yet,” John said. “I want to hear if old age and the grave are to be eliminated.”

            “What of rocks and stones?” Philip asked, following another train of thought. “They do not live as trees or men do.”

          “Who says they don’t?” Jesus questioned with a smile.

            “Why, everybody. It’s general knowledge. Anyone can see for himself there’s no life in a rock.”

          “Bring me a rock.”

Andrew and John exchanged glances. John shrugged and left, presumably to find a rock.

            “Ye have had the Old Testament of Faith. Now I bring ye the New Testament of Knowledge,” Jesus went on. “Man gains comprehension through experience.”

            “We’ve seen you heal, make the lame walk, raise the sick. Are you saying you can bring a rock to life?” Andrew asked incredulity lifting his voice up the scale.

            Apparently our density was beginning to undermine Jesus’ phenomenal patience. “No,” he said shortly. “I say the rock already lives and I shall enable thee to see that life for thineselves. Who among thee does not see the unseen world?”

            “That’s true,” Simon agreed. “My growers couldn’t see the olive sprites who labor on our behalf.”

            I think my jaw fell down somewhere around my ankles. Simon, the money-lover, said that? It was reputed an annas, to escape his clutch, must fall on its knees and pray. What could a man like that know of the soul? I felt the eyes of the Magus upon me.

            “I have not chosen randomly,” He rebuked me. I felt myself redden. It was doubly painful. He had divined my unloving thoughts and who was I to criticize? I bore the same reputation myself.

            Andrew Simon, the huge brother of Simon Simon, was clearly as startled as I was. “Sprites? What sprites? You never told me of them.”

            To my astonishment, Simon looked sheepish. “It slipped out. I hadn’t meant to mention them.”

            “Why guard this company from truth? There are forms of life far removed from humanity. Speak of the Little People,” Jesus said.

            Simon made a deprecating gesture. “I don’t know much about them. As to their relationship to humanity, I know nothing. Some of them do resemble little people so that is what I call them. The Tree Sprites resemble a tree.”

          “Come off it, Si!” his brother exclaimed.  “Tell us what happened, maybe then we can follow you.”

          Simon squirmed uncomfortably under the concentrated gaze of six pairs of eyes. I would have squirmed, too, had I drawn the attention of the Magus to the same degree. That thought immediately was chased by another. “I’m empathizing with my former enemy!”

            Simon cleared his throat and grunted, ”It was in the beginning of my stewardship of Father’s property. I had a helpless mother and a baby brother for whom I must provide protection.” He looked at me, “You know how that goes.”

          “Yes, I know,” I said, the feeling of sympatico stronger than ever.

 Unless we had good harvests, I stood to lose everything.” Si went on, “The crops of the two previous years had been wiped out, which had contributed to the precarious financial situation I inherited. Thus to me it was imperative the trees yield olives. I worked as hard as a man could work, but I couldn’t affect the weather, the soil or the health of the trees. I also prayed a great deal. Then one day when I was taking a breather, I had been helping the men cultivate...”

          “That’s back breaking,” Philip interjected.

          “As bad as shoveling fish,” Andrew grinned.

“Shut up, you two,” James growled. “I think we’re near the issue. Go on, Si. Where were you?”

            “Right here in Capernum. Exhausted and worried, I’d lain down under a tree and was almost asleep,” he paused as if searching his mind for words to explain his meaning.

“Well, what happened?” Andrew urged.

            “The problem is, little brother, I can’t explain what happened. Suddenly I saw more than I had ever seen before. The whole grove teemed with astonishing beings, every one of them working their hearts out.”

            “What did they resemble?” Philip asked, leaning forward as if his straining could draw forth the answer more quickly.

            “The ones I noticed first, resembled people. Some had wings and were no larger than my little finger. Others had no wings. They were bigger.”

          “Were these the sprites you spoke of?” James asked.

          “Oh, no.”

          “Then you had further experiences such as this?” Philip suggested eagerly.

          “Yes. The next time it happened I saw Pan.”

          “Our Greek Pan?” Philip cried incredulously.

          “He’s about as Greek as I am,” Simon snapped. “But I’ll give you this, the ancient Greeks had better eyes than Judeans have.  When I roused from being relaxed, I could no longer see them.”

          “Let’s get back to when you did see them. What happened?” James urged.

            “Well, not much. Pan just told me what to do to get a bumper crop. It was much the same advice as the tree had given me.”

            “The tree talked, too? And ‘not much’ happened?” Andrew roared breaking into laughter. “Oh my sides and saddles, I don’t wonder you’ve kept this to yourself. Had you been indulging a little lavishly with the wineskin?”

            Jesus answered for Simon, “No, he had not. In the womb of the world man exists awash in a sea of energies to which he is adapted most wondrously. According to his understanding man’s senses screen from his awareness information his mind cannot accept. What a man’s sight reveals to him in this life is a small fraction of what he shall see in later ages. Likewise it is the same with the other senses. If each existent energy were to press upon the unready minds of this present generation, those minds would burn out. Ye whom I gather to me are not spiritual children of such tender years. To ye the senses bring information more widely.”

            “Here’s the stone,” John announced reappearing on the rooftop. “I had to go halfway to Jericho to find one.”

            Jesus accepted it with thanks and handed it to Simon. “Feel, observe and pass it on.” Obediently Simon handled it, even smelt it, and gave it to James. One by one the others examined that stone until at last it came to me. As far as I could see, it was an ordinary stone, an irregular lump of rock, inanimate, a non-living thing.

          “Wrong,” Jesus smiled at me. “Everything to exist must live.”

            I sucked in my breath. This magus who divined the thoughts in another’s head was decidedly disconcerting.

            A few minutes later I was considerably more disconcerted. Jesus told us to relax from head to toe, repeating this instruction several times. Under the influence of His voice I felt myself relaxing as I had never done before. My bones seemed to melt into a mound of mush. He suggested consciousness should become a pinpoint of light and I ceased to be aware I had bones at all. He suggested we examine the structure of life in the stone and the magic began. Before me I saw the floating stone, which enlarged as it came towards me, or I shrank.  I entered the stone and still it grew. It grew until it was mostly space with small spheres hurtling about me, shining like stars. Next, I became aware not of substance but of energy. Streams of colored lights flowed past and through me in intricate patterns. I seemed to be composed of light and the light was joy.

            “Come forth from the life of the stone,” Jesus directed. At the sound of His voice the stars disappeared. “Did ye find thy inanimate body?”

          “No, I didn’t,” I said before anyone else spoke. “What I found were many small stones in great agitation bathed in streams of light.”

            “Ye found the sands of existence driven by the life of existence,” He corrected. “The life is the Father’s love and with love He gives life to all that is. Nothing manifests into physical form without love.”

            “Are you telling us our bodies are composed of small spheres like the stone?” Philip asked.

          “Yes.”

          “But we’re solid,” John objected.

          “As stone,” Andrew chuckled.

            “Much in appearance is illusion,” Jesus said. “Senses screen from the spiritual young many truths. Yet who among ye is spiritually young?”

          “If I understand you correctly, our senses are expandable?” James enquired.

            “Ye know they are,” Jesus replied. “Among ye are they already expanded, awaiting only the use of will to perform.”

            “This is then a natural function?” Philip continued, perplexed. “Man is made to look both ways, within and without?”

          “Correct.”

            “Then why are so few looking within? Apart from the few of us here on this rooftop, whom I presume share this peculiar capacity, I have never found anyone else with it.” I looked at the rest. “Have any of you?”

            “Be patient, Matthew,” Jesus said. “In the long reach of evolution man’s progress is slow. From the animal and animal instinct does he progress through pain to angelic instinct. In the process his senses bring him into wider rapport with the two realms, the kingdom of men on earth and the Heavenly Kingdom of the Angels. Today on earth the mass of men linger under earthly influence.”

            Mary of Dana, Si’s comely housekeeper whom I’ve mentioned before, appeared at that point to announce supper which broke the train of conversation. Over supper it became general and I don’t recall Jesus ever touching on that precise topic again.

G.E. Hansen explains the process in her own words:

Originally posted on The Gift Of Website HERE where you can find much more about the books and the ones in process.



When I was eighteen I knew I had a calling to help humanity but I resisted it with all my will for I had a fear of ostracism by orthodox Christians.
I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in English (writing). I married, had a family, and much of the next forty years passed full of agony. Then I had a near death experience. I had not told my family that I had been seeing WRITE in white foot high letters every night before I fell asleep. The month before my three heart attacks I saw WRITE NOW but still I played for time. Well, let me tell you standing in outer space looking back at the earth which was the size of a baseball and talking to two Persian priests about my future made me decide to return to my calling.
What was that calling? To write the stories of the twelve disciples of Jesus from their point of view and to include two other stories of their choosing from the many lifetimes they have contributed help to humanity.
The Gift of Judas was the first book I was given to record.
It was a great sorrow and pure joy for me to write the soul journey of Judas for he suffered greatly as both Xerxes and Judas from grief and the consequent loneliness yet he also knew the greatest joy imaginable in the presence of the Master of Masters, Jesus the Christ.
And how did I write these books?
They came from the Akashic Record – that tenuous element in which every thought, every word, every deed of every soul that has ever lived is recorded for all eternity. Unlike the public library, the Akasha is not readily available to everyone. To touch it, clairvoyance is absolutely necessary.
Here is how my clairvoyance operated. First, I would see what can be called stationary visions; that is an image of something would appear like a picture of an ancient town or a person in a foreign costume or some symbol that represented the person of whom I was to write. These first clues inspired me as to whom I was being asked to write about. Then I would receive the visions of the third eye where symbology must be interpreted by either knowledge of the symbol or intuitively knowing what the symbol represented. Third, I would be one with the past through the Akashic records.
This means I was in a ‘living movie’ of a past event with all the smells, sounds, emotions and experiences of each person in the past event. In the Akashic consciousness you have 360 degree awareness unlike our usual physical perception. When I experienced the Akashic record, I simply recorded what the people in the scene were experiencing for I was one with each and every person.
Thus, you can imagine how I tried to avoid suffering scenes for the pain was so real. I struggled through it for the joy of putting on paper the lives of the twelve apostles and some of the people they had been, like Abraham Lincoln, which was reward in itself.
There are those who may say after reading this work that it is no more than a piece of fiction. The writer does not offer argument. Everyone must digest his own truth.
Although truth itself remains constant, man’s individualized comprehension of it varies. What is truth to one is not truth to another. It is unnecessary therefore for me to enlarge further upon the nature of the books. Indeed it is the reader’s right to arrive at his own conclusion – yet, my wish is that the essence of my writing brings something of eternal joy into each person’s life.

The Gifts of the Apostles of Jesus.



The Christ-Consciousness Grid lovingly created around Earth for the Highest Good of All.
 
There come times in one's one life when some core beliefs are addressed and found to be someone else's beliefs. Some have been burnt to death at the stake, throats have been cut, they were hanged till they die, crucified, drawn behind horses, simply just killed and yet... they return because the submittance to Love is stronger than death.
Yes, some are correct in stating that re-incarnation does not exist, yes, I agree completely. We have but one life. We might take up different personalities or earthsuits or bodies so that the one life can keep on expressing Love, yes, but we have only ONE Life.
We are CONSCIOUSNESS, INTELLIGENCE and SUBSTANCE incarnate.
I am that which is beyond belief because I Know.
My mind cannot change because I am out of my mind and into Truth - which cannot be explained or pinpointed because then it enters mind and mind is false.
I am part of The People On The Way, as you are - because of LIFE ~ We serve GOD to the best of our abilities. Our messages have been distorted, edited and sometimes just cut by the minority in false-power on Earth. They are always restored again though and found by the ones who are also on the way, the way of perfection, when every thought we think, word we say and action we take is aligned with Love.

Following below are some parts of stories lovingly recorded from the Akashic Records by G.E. Hansen:



How to explain something so simple yet so beyond her understanding? I decided to give it a try. I leaned towards her. “I’ll make you a bargain; I’ll explain, you believe. You accept?”
            “Oh yes,” she cried eagerly, “to that I agree.”
            I doubted she’d keep her end of the bargain but I began anyway. “I’ll keep this as simple as I can,” I told her. “In the beginning before humanity, there was God the Father Who created heaven and earth and all that in them is, including angels, animals and men. This He did by thinking and investing each thought form with His energy to give the illusion of reality.” I placed a finger on her lips to stifle the objection I could see coming.
            “But the world is real,” she protested in spite of my finger.
            “In a sense,” I agreed, “only the reality is buried beneath the illusion.”
            She frowned in perplexity. “I do not understand.”
            “And you won’t unless you hush and let me get on with it,” I said. She nodded and I picked up where I’d left off. “From life comes energy and life is the Father Who expresses Self three ways through energy, consciousness and will which He expressed predominately as follows: to the angels He gave will, to man, rationality and to all, energy. The only real difference between a grain of sand and an ant, between an ant and a man is the quality of consciousness. Once in manifestation, the potential for expanding consciousness exists. It will take eons for the world to reach fruition but each right thought forwards the Father’s plan because thought conveys energy and the higher the quality of thought, the more the plan is helped.”
            “But how does one acquire high quality thought?” Chloe broke in. “I have thought often of mighty Osiris and nothing happened.”
            “Something happened though you were unaware of it, dear,” I said. “It is our reactions to our experiences that conditions the quality of thought. Do not forget, like attracts like. Many lifetimes dedicated to righteousness may pass away before a soul can attract healing energy. Fortunately there is a shortcut. Our Master, the Christ, gave us the right to use His power by calling on His name.”
            “Definitely you are of Osiris,” Chloe affirmed.
            “Your secret is safe with us, revered sir,” said Osmium breaking into our dialogue. He hadn’t the look of a man struggling up from the haziness of sleep, it was more the alert look of someone who had been awake feigning sleep. “You need tell us no more but do not dishonor our table by departing therefrom. In the past I have paid merely lip service to the gods but after having seen the power of Osiris’ hand when laid upon his priest, I shall take to his Temple the moment I am home, a quarter of all that I possess. Mighty is Osiris and mighty were the works my eyes beheld.”
            Here was another reaction that barred the way to The Master’s Truth. Do you think this stubborn Egyptian paid heed to my words? No more than Iostes. Osmium was firmly convinced. the power was of Osiris and that was that. While I had the sense to realize by Osiris he meant the same as I did by the Father, I grieved that the Christ concept was beyond him. Chloe listened attentively and blankly. What I wouldn’t have given to have been able to enlighten them! But the Master had promised I should drink of His drink and the frustration was gall to the tongue however dilute.
             I was troubled, too, by my inconstancy to His cause. Since my indiscretion in the courtyard, much of my thoughts were given to Chloe. The very air was charged with my awareness of her. Meals were a bittersweetness - the joy of her presence mixed with the sorrow of renunciation. I knew she could never be mine yet tiny persistent tendrils of thought poked through consciousness envisioning what it would mean if she were. This return of the animal nature to supremacy appalled me and I spent much time in prayer, to poor effect as far as I could determine. My desire was making shipwreck of my resolution. My last night in camp was such sleepless torture it was almost a relief to depart with the dawn.

We came from the four quarters, from near and far to the meeting in Bethsaida. Peter and Matthew up from Jerusalem, Nathan from Babylonia where he had taken over the charge left by Theuddus, Drew down from Heriopolis in Bithnyia, Philip from Ephesus, Simon Z. from Antioch, James Alph from across the sea in Macedonia, wherever we were, we all came. It was a poignant meeting, supercharged with shared memories of yesterday and the knowledge that our tomorrows would seldom again be shared, if ever. But sentiment did not keep us from settling to the business at hand, which was nothing less than to hammer out a common structure on which to build the foundation of a unified church.
            This was no easy matter. With such a group of rabid individualists, strong minded in the extreme, to tame our actions to the handling of those that should come after was more difficult than converting the heathen. We hadn’t been in session an hour before tempers began to fray. I have noticed wherever you find a driving personality, you find a temper either leashed or not. I can’t say the leashes were tightly held that week in Bethsaida; some of us were more afflicted in this regard than others but there wasn’t a one unaffected. In the family atmosphere we were less inclined to restrain ourselves than we would have been in any other environment. Here we were free to express what we really felt, and believe me, we did!
            We were from many backgrounds, Rabbinical, Essene, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Babylonian. With so many hereditary enemies lying down together, how could we be expected to interpret His Message the same way? That we finally came to any agreement as to techniques, I am fully convinced was one of those unheralded miracles of our Master. Even apart from this accomplishment it would have been a rewarding week in prayer, meditation and fellowship. Womanship, too, to coin a word, for our women were as much a part of our effort as were we. As the Master had pointed out, they were making very real sacrifices for The Cause.
Twelve constellations encircle our planetary system. Each of them has a vibratory energy of its own and each vibratory energy comes from The Father of All that is, our Creator; thus each constellation radiates a different radiation or a particular unique potency of the Creator. The ancients left us clues to the inner meaning of the constellations’ powers in the symbols they chose for them; for example, the inner meaning of Libra is the urge to achieve the perfect point of balance between two opposites.
Since every one of the apostles of Jesus the Christ is the unique energy of one of the different constellations, they are imbued with different potent energies. Not only that, every individual is the unique product of an experience-personality-soul amalgam.
These twelve men travel from life to life as representatives of a group, a clan and a brotherhood older than the stars themselves. They are born into every culture and every race, always the freedom seekers and truth bearers of their times, enlivening Christ’s unconditional love energy wheresoever they live. Usually they accomplish their mission but it is hard while in human flesh to always remain steadfast. Although each of the twelve seeks to serve God and the Christ power with all the strength of body, mind and soul he possesses, each brings his own emphasis to the work.
Jesus, who was pure enough to be completely infused with the Christ power, recognized these differences and for this reason chose Peter, who carried the strength and steadfastness of the Taurus bull, to be the foundation of His teachings.
Throughout history there appear souls who are pure enough to become one with the Christ power. All the leaders of great religions were such souls.

Although we came from many divergent backgrounds, of race, culture, we all, except for Matthew, had considerable wealth and impressive personal connections. Philip, Drew, Nathanial, Simon of Cana and the Maccabees had graduated from the Museum in Alexandria. Theuddus was Herod’s favorite court musician and James Alphaeus had been appointed clerk in Herod’s court, while Jude, identical twin of James Alphaeus had apprenticed to Jesus’ father, Joseph, who was the foremost architect in the entire region. Only Matthew and I had not had the experience of higher education yet no matter our differences, the one thing we all shared, besides a boundless dedication, was the feeling of inadequacy. On the day we returned to Capernaum, we discussed this among ourselves.
“Simon,” Matthew said, “I still can’t understand why I am one of this group. There are so many others of superior abilities Jesus could have chosen.”
“I’ve asked that same question about myself,” Theuddus replied before I could say the same thing. He nodded to Andrew who had strolled over to join us. “I can understand why Andrew was chosen. He’s had Museum training.”
Andrew grinned. “I manage to get along in spite of it. Why throw that in my face?”
Theuddus colored with embarrassment. “I was not implying criticism. We were trying to find a reason for being chosen by Jesus. It is reasonable He chose you and the others, you’ve been educated.”
“And what possible merit do I have?” Matthew added. “Society rejects me.”
“You’ve thonged the wrong sandal,” Andrew laughed at him. “You assumed the responsibilities of a man while a youth,
 same as my brother. You’re worth twice of me!”
“I hear you, Matthew,” I joined in. “I haul nets, shovel dirt and balance a few books. How come I have the honor of listening to Jesus divulge spiritual truths?”
Matthew snorted. “Haul nets and shovel dirt? Hah! I did your taxes. You have built a financial empire.”
I sat back uncomfortably, “So what. I’m uneducated. Just about everyone here is Museum educated.”
Simon of Cana patted his round belly and stated, “Education does not prove the worth of a man. Living does that.”
“What’s the serious discussion?” Philip asked also joining us.
“We don’t feel we’re worthy of the honor Jesus has bestowed upon us when there’s so many others he could teach,” Theuddus answered.
Philip plopped his lanky body beside Andrew. “Do I ever know what you mean! Nathan and I were talking of that just yesterday. At least you were all Jews but I was born a gentile! How can He have chosen me?”
The Master, as always divined what was troubling us. I’d seen Him in a temper before with the money changers at the Temple and I had discovered Jesus could get as riled as I could myself. He bellowed with eyes of fire, “Enough! Sit! Now!” We hastily rearranged ourselves in front of him.
“I gather thee about me and ye question why, claiming great unworthiness,” He thundered in an explosion of feeling. “How often must I repeat? Of this ye cannot judge! Have I not told thee anon and yet anon memory is forfeit to the Turning Wheel and the cloak of personal­ity hides the truth of self? All of ye are old masters. Over many lifetimes each practiced righteousness; right thinking, right speaking and right action. Know this, he who is confirmed on the Way abides thereon. In each of thee long ago was the bond of the senses loos­ed. Let the little children judge with the judgment of a child; ye who hath passed through the Initiate’s Door, knowing death is the reservoir of life, use a larger measure. In mastery the personality died birthing Divinity. What matter then the expression of personal­ity? Were ye paragons of human virtue without alignment to Divine Will ye would be useless to me. Ye who sacrificed the lower to the higher, seek sustenance upon a wider arc and trouble me no longer with the ludicrous. Who among ye sees not with the inner eye, or hears not with the inner ear or communes not with other worlds of being?” He paused, daring any of us to deny the charge. Each of us looked shocked, some expressions verging on shy, some scared, none showing false pride. We grinned sheepishly at one another, thereby acknowledging what heretofore we carefully had kept to ourselves. He continued hardly more mollified.
“Think ye then, ye hath not outdistanced thine fellows? What does it matter if some of ye come to me from within the circle of my earthly family? What does it matter if some of ye come to me from my spiritual family spread near and far, from Galilee, Judea, Cyprus, Egypt, Babylonia and Greece? What matters is the purpose of the souls that spirit carried forth into the bodies of men. Enough time wasted. There is much to do and short the hours allotted to accomplish­ment. Soon ye shall follow me forth into the outer world but first I shall awaken each of ye to thy real selves by enliving thy memories of ancient knowledge.”
“How can memory be vivified when what You tell us is always new?” I asked.
“Do not criticize until you have heard the Master out,” Drew hissed in an undertone.
“I’d never presume to criticize the Master,” I answered stoutly. “I am perplexed for I know He never speaks without implanting new thoughts.”
“I differ with you, Simon,” the other Simon, the bridegroom of Cana, said. Everyone still used my birth name by the way; it was later that the Master gave me my enduring name. “The Master does speak on old thoughts but with new insight,” the Canaanite went on. “He speaks of forces and energies and of man’s attempts to understand them. We, with an Essene background, can readily comprehend the personif­ication of aspects of Deity yet I have discovered that those of us lacking knowledge of the Quabalah have other frames of reference equally tenable. Hidden in the various pantheons of the various gods and goddesses are the same primordial principles.”
“True,” Philip contributed, “particularly in the labors of Hercules do I see a correspondence to what I’ve been told of the Holy Sephiroth.”
Jesus smiled all round. I don’t think I ever saw anything as
 joy­ous as that smile of His. It was highly infectious and it never failed to light a warm, answering glow in my heart. “Yae, truth is truth,” He averred, “and the Will of God everlastingly found in the Book of Bal­ance. Take thine stand therefore neither at the Pillar of Severity nor at the Pillar of Mercy but at the great central Pillar of Equilibrium, knowing that naught stands alone. The two faces of Janus immutably stare from all things. Good and bad, positive and negative, conscious­ness and nonconsciousness, in all is duality.”
“I do not understand,” Philip fretted. “Drew told me that on the Tree of Life the Central Pillar represents consciousness. How is it possible to stand elsewhere?”
“Think with what we deal,” Jesus said patiently, “symbols for unmanifest force. It is not unusual for a symbol to carry more than one meaning. There is a serpent of wisdom and a serpent of wickedness. To a Roman, the face of Caesar is godly, to my countrymen, it bears  another concept.” At that we laughed and He waited until we’d settled again before continuing. “Ye caught my meaning, I perceive. Know ye then that duality is recognized in all mysteries; in Hindustan, as James can tell thee, will the yogi speak of Prana, of the Ida and Pingala which meet when the Kundalini rises through the central channel of the Shushumna, and beyond, in the yellow world, doth men of slant-­eyed visage speak of the two principles, the Yin and the Yang which find equilibrium in the Tao or the Way. Say they differently than we that the central pillar is consciousness, whether stationed at sensory consciousness, awakened consciousness or illumined consciousness?”
“But...” Philip began.
Jesus raised His hand to curb him. “Await, my impatient friend. I come to thy perplexity. Know thee that the world is one, that life is and ever shall be and each systemic law an expression of the Will of the Father in Heaven. The law of polarity is such expression. What matter to the law if I alter the symbol? Is Solomon’s Pillars to say a greater verity than Yin and Yang or that on the right and left stand as­pects of the Tree of Life? Confuse not the thing with its symbol, my brother.”
Matthew cleared his throat nervously. Despite Jesus’ matter of fact acceptance of him, he was still inclined to be apprehensive.
“Aye, Matthew?” Jesus encouraged.
“I had thought of male and female, a physical duality. Is
 mar­riage the human Tao then and if such be, how can evil flow there from, for on every side is to be seen the evidence of marital misery?”
“Verily,” Jesus smiled, “the Father’s laws are implacable, as he who breaks one finds. It is enough in the four-footed world that the species be preserved; in the human world is a greater wonder. Mating is meant to be of a higher order. In the three worlds, physical, emotional, mental, may soul conjoin soul, and when that eventuates in the mental world, truly hath two become one. Alas, the infants know this not, nor shall they, until they mount the Ladder of Light and until then, shall misalliance endure.”
“Not every marriage is a nightmare,” I objected, thinking of the contented ones I knew, my own, for example.
“Why must thee, my disciples, emulate thy brethren’s ignorance?” Jesus’ annoyance was implicit in His tone. “Did we not speak of breaking the law? Harmony is found with harmony. When like mates with like on the level of the mind, it is the higher octave of humanity. Rarely is the highest earned, soul to mate with soul, while habitating on earth. Listen to mine wording. Aye, this mating is the priceless gift of the Heavenly Father to be treasured above riches and pearls. Some of ye shall know it even in this lifetime and in that conjoined state of equilibrium shall thee truly bless the Book of Balance.”
