Teachings
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of a man. More importantly, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of hope. Somewhere along the line the focus of Christmas has become intertwined with Santa Claus and gift giving. I am sure that you expect me to say that this is wrong, but it is not wrong, it is wonderful! When you give a person a gift you are giving them your love. You have looked for a gift that you felt was right for that person, you spent time shopping, you spend your earnings to purchase the present, you bought paper and you wrapped the present. It is an expression of love and of appreciation. What gift would I suggest to the people of the world who cannot afford any money to buy a gift?
Please, find something worthy of celebration this Christmas. Find something that gives you hope. What is Santa Claus known for? His 'ho ho ho'. What is that 'ho ho ho'? It is laughter, celebration, joy. Why did Jesus come into the world? He came to bring hope, and he came to teach. There are, however, people in the world who have no reason for joy and feel that they have no hope. It is important that you pause for a moment and send these people the gift of your love. That is both the simplest and the grandest thing you can do for these people--they are your brothers and your sisters. The natural state of the Soul is not fear and anger, it is love and light. Do not look at what you do not have this Christmas, look at what you do have. Share in the celebration in the air and in the towns and cities. Listen to the carol singers, watch the children lining up to tell Santa what they want this year...and know that it is all perfect. You are where you are through the choice of your Soul, everything is as it should be. You are a wondrous person of great joy and strength, and you are so greatly loved. I wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish you hope and joy.
Jesus PS what do I want for my birthday celebration? Only that you love one another and take care of one another. What is it that is truly important? People. Remember that. Please. Profits. Promotions. Wealth. These things are secondary to people. Do not be alarmed though, for when you put people first, you pave the way for everything else to follow. To treat others as you yourself would want to be treated is always the key. As Christmas approaches, remember that this is a season during which you put other people first. The gifts you buy, the food you prepare, none of it is done for yourself, it is all done for others A season of giving, a season of sharing. I AM Saint. I am small, but I am also very very big. Energy that flows from me to you, is not limited to that journey, for that energy truly comes from beyond me, and travels beyond you. As a ray of light can be shone from a torch in the darkness, so is that ray seen from afar. Like moths drawn to a flame, so are people drawn to that light of the Soul that is seen so clearly in the darkness. Why are people drawn to the light in the darkness? Because it is an innate human quality to always seek light and warmth, to see things illuminated. Things in the dark are difficult to identify, but things seen in the light are very clear and very easy to understand. Sometimes the dark can be comforting to some people, like being in bed, safe and warm on a dark night. But, if something in that darkness touched them, moved the blanket, pushed the pillow, then they would no longer feel safe and comforted, they would want to know what was there. They would want to turn on the light. If we divided the world into two groups, that which sought to live in the darkness and that which sought to live in the light, and then we put them on opposite sides on the world, they would still manage to find each other again. Why? Because they attract each other, they are drawn to each other. Is there a light on Earth that is bright enough to dispel all the darkness? To illuminate all corners everywhere? You say no. Each person is a light in the darkness, whether they accept this or not. Combine your lights. Combine your lights and you will BE that illumination of the world. Do not ever feel that you own light is but a whimper on a damp matchstick for it is not, it is a glow like the sun. If you believe that your own light is insignificant, then you dull its glow. Please, please do not do this. Do not doubt the light that you are, do not doubt that your light is like a sun. Allow your light to glow, to shine and do not hinder it with doubt. Allow your light to be all that it can be. Your doubts are like a cloth thrown over the light. So, henceforth: no doubts. I understand that there is much fear in the world. I grieve at your pain, I share in your tears and your heartache. It is all so unnecessary. (I AM God, Allah, Jehovah, call him whatever name you like, whatever name you feel comfortable with. For now we will use the name 'God'). A God of love. A God of compassion. A God of life. Not a God of death. Please, do not look at another person and decide that it is their fault you are not wealthy in material possessions and money. Do not look at another and decide that it is of their doing that you do not have that which you think you should have, the car, the house, the designer clothing, the expensive jewelry and fine wine. Try to understand that you are where you are so that you may learn and understand. A house is but a place to shelter from the weather and a place to sleep in comfort. Clothes are merely to cover the body. A car is merely a transportation machine. Whether you have these or not is of no consequence at all to your Soul. There are lessons contained in a life rich in material wealth, and there are lessons contained in a life rich in love and spiritual understanding. Your purpose here, on this Earth, has never been to attain as much money and as many possessions as you can. Your purpose here is to experience, and to understand. Do not get too caught up in the play. When you seek the riches of your Soul, you will be seeking truth, wisdom, understanding, compassion, mercy and love. All that you see around you is God. The hand that raises a weapon and strikes down the life of another, is the hand that does not know the love of God. The hand that caresses the infant, that is the hand of love, that is the heart that knows God. The person who lives with love in their heart, they know God. The person who lives with anger in his heart, who kills and harms another, that person does not know God, does not understand God, does not know that love of God within his own heart. God rejoices in the prance of a puppy, in the flowering of a weed, in the sound of a dripping tap, in the scent of roses on the wind, in the touch of rain upon the lake, in the sound of laughter, in the play of children, in the smile of a parent. A world of peace, in which all people live together as family, that is within the hands of all humankind. How many of you will reach out and grasp it? How many of you will push it away and say no I do not want peace? A man holding a gun will not find peace until he puts that gun down. A women harboring resentment and anger will not know peace until she lets go of that resentment and anger. In your life, this day, please, live in harmony with yourself and with your family, your neighbors, you colleagues, your friends, and even your enemies. Live in harmony this day. Tomorrow, when you wake up, choose what day will lay ahead of you. Will you choose a day of harmony? I AM Saint. May my love and my own light touch you all.
It is pointless
to look at the behavior of another and try to fathom what is going
through their minds. You can only view things through your own
perspectives and not theirs. Yes.
How do you bring into your life that which you desire? By thinking about it. By focusing your attention upon it. Don't get caught up in self doubts or in any thoughts that you do not deserve success in life. Self doubts and disbelief are man made impulses, not I AM made. Why do you think you have these thoughts or dreams in the first place? They are gifts, whispered into your mind, prompts to steer you towards a path that you yourself, at Soul level, chose. The Loving Lights who Guide you often whisper to you, point out books to you, steer your attention to a bird in flight, or a person on the street. They will pop insights, fully formed ideas into your mind. They will work with you in whatever way they can in order to help you on your path. What you expect, you will received, be it today, tomorrow or next year. Your expectation must come with faith. Fear will also drag towards you that which you fear. So fear nothing. If you always look at the negative, always look for problems, then you will find them. If you always looks for the positive, always look for the good, you will find that. One will bring problems to you (you might reach to turn on your bedside lamp and the bulb will blow), the other will bring you joy (you might look up and see the most beautiful sky, a swallow in flight, squirrels running along the power lines, or a monkey in a tree). You will attract that which you focus on. So, focus on that which you would like to bring into your life. Some people focus on hate and intolerance to the point where that is all they see. If you are one of those people: change! Change the way you look at the world, change your focus, and you will change that which you attract into your life. Some people focus on peace, both inner and outer. They see peace around them, they feel peace within them. They draw peace to them. The emotions that rule your life are of YOUR choosing. That which you focus on is of YOUR choosing. YOU are responsible for all that you see and for HOW you see it all. Look out the window. What do you see?
You have not just a responsibility to your own child, but to all children. Do not turn a blind eye when you see a child being hurt. Do something, say something. A child should know love. A child should know trust. A child should be nurtured and protected. The children you raise now are the men and women who will run the world when they reach adulthood. What kind of people do you want running your governments, your hospitals, your businesses, your missions, your schools? Some
children will never reach adulthood. See the warning signs in your society. Help those who you see making the first steps down a pathway that will not serve their highest good. Help them while they are still prepared to accept help. If the difference between a man robbing a shop and not robbing a shop is the loaf of bread and bottle of milk that you are able to give him, GIVE THEM! For your sake and his, give them. If you can help another, help them. If food banks need food for those who have none, give them food. If missions need food to feed the homeless, give them food, and if they need clothing, give what you no longer need, what your children have grown out of. If all you can afford to give is a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread then give only that. If you have too many tomatoes in your garden and they are starting to go to waste, give them to the food banks. Give what you can. You are giving to a brother and a sister. The difference between your giving and not giving, may be a child who grows up to believe that people are innately good, or that people don’t care about anyone but themselves. Care about other people. You are not in this world alone. Care about those you live alongside, care about those you pass in the street. Look a beggar in the eye, and show respect. Show respect to all people. You are no better than them. Look at your world through humble eyes, with a humble heart. Look at all people with a humble heart. Let go of your criticisms, your resentments, your judgments, you pride. Do not seek vengeance. Seek understanding. Seek to know why things came together they way they did. Make this world a safe place for the children. Do not stand back and allow the six year old to be beaten to death. You can make a difference if you just do one thing. Care. Much strife in the world. Much pain, much suffering, much anger. And yet, much hope, much love, much compassion, much joy. What you see is dependent upon where you live, who you associate with, and what you yourself focus on. We do not seek to belittle death, but please remember that death is merely the return of the Soul to the world of Souls. Let yourselves celebrate the lives of those who have perished. And please, celebrate your own life. Make every day a celebration. A mass consciousness of love and peace. What is that? It is the consciousness created when people focus their consciousness on love and peace. How many does it take to create this mass consciousness? It is created by as few as two people sharing a common ideal, focusing on a common goal, knowing they have the power if I AM supporting them. What we ask of you is that you allow yourselves to be peaceful and loving. That is your true nature. We ask you to become that peace and that love. Live it, be it, think it, respond to life through it, respond to people through it. What will happen when this mass consciousness grows larger and larger? The world will be changed. People will be changed. It is like the hundredth monkey syndrome. As
you think, so you are. You are more than a physical body with thoughts. You are a Soul. As such your abilities far exceed that which the physical world offers you. Intuition, knowingness, clear ‘sight’, clear ‘hearing’, clear ‘feeling’, wisdom, love, compassion, light, you are all of these things. So, seek to BE these qualities, seek to LIVE these qualities. Do not allow yourself to be disheartened when you look at the state of the world and humanity. Always know that there is hope. Always know that you can make a difference. Focus your thoughts on peace and love. Help to change the world, help to change humanity. Help to reveal the true nature of humanity. A Consciousness of Knowingness, a Consciousness of Peace and Love. BE it. Simply BE it.
Answers are all around you if you slow down and take notice. You rush through your days trying to get to a different point in time. When you rush you do not see that which is in front of you or all around you. You do not notice the cat sleeping in the sun, reminding you to rest and to find pleasure in the warmth of the sun. You do not see the dog running after the ball, reminding you to enjoy your life. You do not notice the beauty of the flower, reminding you to enjoy and appreciate that which is around you. You do not notice the smell of the food and the presentation of it upon the plate before you consume it and then move on to another task. You do not fully savor the taste of the tea or coffee as your attention is distracted by television, newspapers, radios, books. You do not fully savor and appreciate everything that is around you. So, we will take just two issues and we will talk about them briefly: clouds and the sun. There is a hidden symbolism behind the cloud and the sun. Clouds. To see them you must look above the level of your feet, you must look up, you must move your vision and attention to that which resides above you. When you sit out and watch the predawn sky you are drawn to the tiny lights that sparkle in the darkness (tiny only from where you sit). As the Earth rotates towards the sun the sky lightens, one shade at a time. You become aware of dark shapes in the gradually lightening sky. Clouds. You see them only as dark shadows, and for a moment you are filled with concern at the darkness. This unease is only because you do not know what the darkness is. The unidentified often frightens, until it is identified. When you see that it is a cloud you are no longer concerned. It is the light of the rising sun that identifies the dark shape as a cloud. The sky lightens, clouds dapple the sky, long streaks of clouds, large billowing clouds. They mark the sky like mountains viewed from a flat range. The sun rises higher and soft pink touches the edge of the clouds. Soft pink, the colour deepening until the face of the cloud glows crimson pink. The crimson touch is fleeting and within minutes it begins to soften back to pink. The sky, tinged with the pink captures your attention, but only until the sun begins to reach through the clouds and rays of light illuminate the sky. Rays of light reaching out, fingers of light reaching. Further the sun rises until her glory touches the face of the cloud itself and it is glorified by a pure, bright whiteness. Your attention is focused on this magnificent whiteness. Clouds slowly drift across the sky, just out of range of this glorious touch of the sky, and you do not notice the clouds, you are not interested in looking at anything but the bright whiteness that enlivens the cloud. The rest of the cloud is touched by the glow, even the other side of the cloud that does not see the sun, does not feel its touch, this side too glows. No part of the cloud is unaffected by that magical touch. The sun rises until it shines directly into your eyes. When this happens you are aware of nothing else. You can see nothing else. It is a light so bright that you can barely look at it. All else is obscured by this light. The light is all that there is. Lessons are there even when you are not looking for them. The lesson? Clouds represent what you perceive to be problems, difficulties in your life, challenges. Yet they are not real, the are illusory, they are mist in the wind. As the wind blows, the clouds break up, dissolve, dissipate. They are not solid and real at all. No problem can exist in the face of the light. The Light, of course, represents I AM, but it also represents understanding, illumination of the subject, the lighting up of dark corners of misunderstanding. No matter how fast a dark cloud rushes at the sun, it cannot remain a dark cloud when it is in the presence of the sun. Nothing can remain dark when it is in the presence of the sun, of the light of understanding, of the light of I AM. Just as the light of the sun drew your attention to the brilliant whiteness of the cloud face, so are people drawn to someone who glows with a bright inner light. Make your inner Light bright. The brighter your inner light, the more you will attract people to you. No one can remain dark in the presence of that light, no one can go away unaffected. A bright inner light is a transforming light, transforming all that comes within range of that light. Acknowledge your inner light. Seek to brighten your inner light. Seek to make it glow as bright as possible. We would like to talk about the path to peace within a relationship. Couples have problems, this seems to be quite a normal thing. Some couples have bigger problems than other couples and some couples seem to have relatively minor problems. Why do some people's problems seem insurmountable? Why are some people unable to solve the problem of their differences/disagreements? Does it lie in the ability of one person in the relationship to step back and concede for the sake of peace? No. Does it lie in one person being dominant enough to win and rule the relationship? No. The ability to make a relationship work lies with both participants in the relationship. Problems can be as easily solved as they can be inflamed. Words spoken in anger and later not retracted and an apology or explanation given. Words spoken in anger and taken in anger. Yet, the person who heard the words knew they were spoken in anger, knew they would be regretted, so why the resentment? Because the words hurt? Let the words go. In a relationship you are fully responsible for what you say and do, and if you hurt your partner, then you should accept responsibility for that, and begin the healing process. If you are in a relationship, nourish it, nurture it, help it to grow. Do not ignore it and refuse to water it. Nourish and nurture the relationship, as it may be the greatest relationship you will ever know. Respect the relationship, respect your partner. Many a relationship has floundered due to a lack of respect towards each other. Nourish, nurture and respect. Nourish, nurture and respect Do not expect your partner to act in a specific way or do specific things. Accept them for who they are. If they do things that annoy you so much you cannot tolerate them, talk about it, gently and calmly. Talk it through. Do not attack with your words. Do not hurt with your words, for what you may perceive as wrong may not be considered wrong by anyone else. If you have expectations of how another person should behave and what they should do then perhaps you should discuss those expectations so that you will not feel disappointed if they are not fulfilled--perhaps your expectations are completely different to the expectations of your partner. Is if fair to expect certain things from your partner and then be angry or disappointed if they do not come forth? Nourish, nurture, respect, communication. Do not take your partner for granted. Let them know you care. Buy your partner a flower or a card, phone your partner up and tell him/her that you love him/her. Share your life with your partner and share in his/her life also. Do not look at all they contribute to the relationship and the home as anything less than wonderful. Whether your partner is responsible for earning the money or keeping the house clean, value those fulfillments, treasure them, express your gratitude. Your partner needs to know that you appreciate what they do. Nourish, nurture, respect, communication, gratitude. Do not put blame upon each other for misunderstandings and angers. True love is always accompanied by forgiveness. When you know words were spoken from a place of stress and anger, do not value them, look beyond them and into the heart of your partner. Does he/she love you? Do you love him/her? If there is love, there is always forgiveness. It is foolish to resent that which you know was said through stress, anger, resentment. Move beyond that. If you are with your partner and they have not noticed the beautiful sunset ahead of you, point it out to them, cherish it together. If they have not seen the beautiful flower that you are walking past, point it out to them, enjoy the perfection of the flower together. Learn to appreciate what is around you as well as what is within you, and do the same for your partner, appreciate what is within them also. Nourish, nurture, respect, communication, gratitude, appreciate. A relationship, like a flower, can wither if it is not nurtured.
If a man decided he wanted to attain enlightenment he would read, study, meditate, experiment. He would take those baby steps towards an understanding that would change his life. He would work on understanding and then perhaps changing his attitudes. He would accept that all people had a right to feel the way they feel, to speak the words they speak, and to act as they act. Those feeling words and actions might be totally opposed to what he himself believes, but he respects their right to choose. Ordinary people. An ordinary man, making extraordinary choices. Choices that you could make too. Choices that would change your life. Choices for peace, or choices for something other than peace. Your days, full of actions, words, thoughts, emotions, are full of choices. Do you eat the apple or the banana? Do you read the newspaper or the magazine? Do you choose to be peaceful this day, or angry and agitated? Do you choose to allow the neighbor's noise to annoy you, or do you ignore the noise? Do you allow tiny resentments to mar your day, or do you focus on the beauty of the day, on the way the clouds drift across the sky, on the first sip of tea, on the taste of the fruit, on the peace that resides permanently within your heart, if you would just remember it was there? Life = Choices Life is full of people making choices, be they world leaders or children at school. A person may not make a choice that you feel is the right choice, but it is their right to make that choice. There will come a time of peace. The current rockiness of the world's path should tell you that you are on the path to peace already, that you are experiencing the growing pains of a peaceful Earth. You could fight this peace, or you could welcome it. Are you prepared to let go of resentments? Are you prepared to forgive others? Are you prepared to forgive yourself? Take a step for peace. When you get up tomorrow morning, choose to make it a day of peace within you, within your day. Your cup of peace will runneth over and flood the Earth. Your Hearts Are Opening Your hearts are opening, and there is little that you can do to stop this--even if you wanted to. Why are your hearts opening? Because one heart opened fully. Does that make sense to you? Possibly not. Let us explain: One heart, fully opened, affects the lives of all people around that open heart (we speak, of course, of the heart centre, not of the physical heart itself). You have all met a person who was so loving and so open that they made a lasting effect upon your life, perhaps that person was a parent, a Grandparent, an Aunt or Uncle, or a friend. That person, or persons, touched your life in a very meaningful and long lasting way. Now, when one person has achieved such an open heart, and has shared that with another person there is a good chance that that other person will begin to allow their own heart to open. They had a teacher, an example to follow. Now we have two people with open hearts, loving and kind. From those two came two more and then four and then eight more and then sixteen more and on and on until thousands were affected by this wave of energy. The creation of an energy. The open heart and the love and caring and gentleness and peace that that heart emanates creates an energy. Of the thousands of people living with an open heart, imagine the energy that has emanated, (and is emanating as we speak), and think of the sheer size of that energy of love, caring, gentleness and peace that has been created. That energy touches people. Have you ever been in a room where one person started laughing and could not stop laughing? Have you watched the room and observed how many people began to laugh too, even though they had no idea what was so funny? It is the same as the open heart, it is infectious when it is fully and joyfully experienced. As the number of people in this world living with an open heart increases, they move from being a tiny minority into an expansive, growing group. Their heart centers are pure and the love they emanate is powerful indeed. It is like comparing a bullet to a nuclear bomb. Ten people with heart centers at nuclear power strength will do more good and create more change than a thousand people with their heart centers at bullet power strength. Though the number of people whose heart centers are at nuclear power strength may not be as massive as you would like to think, please know that the number is still quite large, and that the number of people whose heart centers are at bullet power strength is indeed massive and is continuously growing and evolving. The wave approaches and there is nowhere to run. There is simply no way that you can remain untouched by the energy that has been created by these open hearts. It is a wave much like that of a tsunami. You can not get out of its way, you cannot outrun it. You will be swept away by it. You will be uplifted by it. Your hearts are opening. This is a very very good thing. With love, admiration and respect The Teachers
