Scripture Reading: 6th Chapter of John

Our greetings to you, beloveds. We have remained in attunement with you in this place where the vibrations are high. When your focus is upon the higher attainment it is easy to come into your midst, At this time, we will try to help clarify that which was read from your Holy Writings and we would speak with you about the great contrast between the expanded consciousness and the inflated ego.

You are growing in the Christ nature but you have not come forth from the human nature, for you do not yet understand the difference, nor do you understand that which brings growth in each. For so long you have been fattening the human ego, fostering human weakness, allowing the human will to become stronger and stronger. You are constantly feeding one or the other. Through a lack of understanding of these words from your Bible you have overlooked completely the way in which the feeding takes place. It has been easy for man to inflate his ego; the human will has grown stronger because he fostered everything in that nature. He fed upon that which he looked at, focused upon, entered into.

Mind is truly the builder. Your mortal mind, through imagination, can carry you into all kinds of situations brought about by your ideas and desires of the lower nature. Divine mind can help you focus on your true goal, the heart's desire. The soul chooses one way or the other and, starting toward its goal, can become distracted as you shift your focus and start moving into something else.

The body of Jesus was that which he laid down to save all. He put down the human ego, that he rise up in the Christ nature to reveal and demonstrate the great law unto others. He did this so that they would understand that he gave them the blueprint for that within themselves. Through this demonstration he offered the way to all. Those who will identify with that consciousness, in discernment recognizing that principle in operation, have the key to the working of the power of God within them as well as to becoming Christed. This brings fulfillment. “Feeding,” then, is moving into the life energies which would draw one into that fulfillment. }

God is Spirit. You actually feed upon the air you breathe in the third dimensiones You are taking it in, feeding on it, moving in it. When you move into the higher dimension, you will not feed on matter or oxygen--anything of the third dimension, You will instead move into that which is God-law in action, feeding on the increased light of the higher dimension. When the Master came down from high planes of the cosmic realm, he brought the energies of Life to restore souls that were fast weakening and dying. They were strengthened by identifying with his loving sacrifice, in thanksgiving opening their souls and hearts. In this way you can identify with the true life of the Christ. He overcame the grave but he transcended matter. He took on the glorified body, in that body feeding on Light--the atoms of creative energy which give the supply of substence to the soul.

: You merge with him, just as one drop of water would, and become one with the many drops of water in the ocean, Through the open door of love , which he offered, you enter into the life of Spirit which quickens the soul, that created in the image of the Father, and raises it into a perfect state of being. Dwelling on that which you desire brings you closer to it. The pictures about crime, or horror pictures that are shown, or many of the evils in books, in pictures are definitely of the anti-christ, of the other nature. Those whe are absorbed with these feed on them with their minds.- They will become that which they feed on. It will fill them until they are far from any constructive path,

Take this. in reverse: when the Christ dwells in you and you dwell in him, his words abide in you, the very living words of life; not only the Concepts and principles that he taught, but the life energies. As you begin to understand the meaning of the cross, you will know that life energies actually did spill forth, in the blood of Jesus, at the time of the crucifixion, because he was of Spirit. The atoms of the creative forces of Life flowed out onto the earth. With his love he encompassed all those who believed he was the Son, begotten of the Father, the first one to overcome, to transcend all matter and limitation, thus becoming the Lord of Earth. When the full identification of consciousness is made, those who truly believe him walk into that Life with him, into that Spirit (just as you walk into the air you breathe). You enter into new life; new life enters into you.

Now you.truly feed upon the body of the Christ; it is the composite body of all those the Father has drawn close--those begotten in His image--the host (one of his many flocks) that would follow the appointed Shepherd. Tho remaining portion of the children of Israel who were dispersed over the Earth, those spoken of as the "remnant" in your Holy Writings, are the ones who, after all the incarnations, have remained true, have endured until the end. If you continue to remain true--and it is likely at this point--you shall enter in through the door, on that road that he opened before you, and shall be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven manifesting on Earth. You are being prepared now for this, that is coming to pass, being fortified in strength, given confidence in the Lord, stability so as to meet whatever comes without flinching.

When. these tests have been passed, you will be ready for more. The Father shall instruct you in this as you enter the portals of Light between dimensions. Constantly lift the consciousness. Feed on that which is the body, the very life forces of creativity, energies entering into the soul body. Mind, directed in the higher channels, focusing on the highest, will be the builder, as it feeds on that upon which it will focus. If you are functioning in the divine mind you will focus on the union of the Father and Son, and on the Christhood of Jesus and his promise that that law of God would also be fulfilled in you. You either believe it or you do not. If you believe it, then realize

Remember the prayer, “Lord, I believes Help Thou my unbelicf !" Part of you believes. You have not yet assimilated the food; you do not yet realize that the knowing is far more important than believing with the mind. Put the two together and you have no conflict; you are then in alignment, in tune with the Infinite. Believe, and strengthen that belief into a true kmowing within. When you know, it is reality. When you are still in unreality, any of your ideas or beliefs will have no meaning until they become reality to you. Experience shall make it so.

Many things are being brought to your soul remembrance, coming to the surface of the consciousness. As you feed upon that which the Lord symbolized when he said that he had prepared the banquet table before you, even in

Page 176

the midst of your enemier, you shall eat of that food, shall dwell on him, on the Father and the fulfilment of the Father's will, Truly, when you want no other will than the Father's, you shall be feeding on Spirit. You shall be strengthened and shall open into greater light--greater atoms of energy--until it takes form within you, as the soul, with the spirit indwelling, comes into union with the Father, comes into mature productivity, thus glorifying the Father,

This was begotten of Him and'sent forth; it does not honor Him to have that remain dormant. The begotten are to awaken and be nourished by the food of Paradise, thus the seed planted by the Father shall reach maturity and become perfect, as the Father in Heaven is perfect. In other words, this is the completion of His Plan, His divine idea for you--Christhood which shall glorify the Father. When you come into the Christ nature, you become one with the Father. But first the human will, the inflated ego must be put down. Jan is full of conceit and deceit. He has been feeding on this until he has brought forth a huge, inflated ego.

You say you are aspiring to an expanded consciousness. Change over to the food-that brings the expanded consciousness--the spiritual food that shall open the gates--that which will bring a re-orientation. If you would expand in consciousness, put down self, re-orient around the divine center, the God-center--not a god in the far-off skies. Yes, you do have cosmic ones coming in your skies to remind you of that which you were told long ago--that God is within you. Realize it, feed upon that in you that is of the Christ; focus upon that attainment.

Many there are who would work and work from the bottom, to the top of some big business to become its president, and when they arrived, they would feel they had finally succeeded. They would keep their eyes on that goal all through the years, no matter how hard it was or how time-consuming, and they would let nothing distract them. Then when they reached the top, it is likely they would have an inflated ego--or would be one! Desire as much in the Father's will, and you will be the expanding: consciousness, growing, increasing, quickening, taking in greater light, greater creative forces, finally changing to orient around the God-center. Then you shall learn that, as you love God with all your heart, mind and soul, you are expanding. You cannot be loving and have thankful hearts without expanding. .You grow into that upon which you focus.

Desire to move toward the attainment of the Christhood of the Son of God. So many have detached themselves by believing that only one was the Son of God. It is true that only the one came through in great sacrifice, love that broke open the way. He became the door through which you can go as you apply the same principle of that great law--allowing it to work in you. God's law is every bit as great as it functions in you. You were begotten of the Father; He does not take this lightly and He completes His task. He brought you forth that you expand, go out into Creation, return unto Him, matured, perfected in the Plan. When His creation moves forward according to His will, He is glorified.

But none of this takes place until you step aside and (to put it a bit crudely) let the air out of the inflated ego. Let that which was puffed up be put down. Let His will be done, as you constantly remind yourself and believe it, meaning it within the center of your being. His will be done. But you may not know what you are asking for when you give up your will and choose +o move in His. There will be many things that you may not like, that may not ge according to your expectations, Then the first thing you know you may begin

Page 177

trying to tell God what the conditions should be, instead of meeting His and learning acceptance of that which you do not like.

Whatever ¢ones, whether it be tragedies in your life, discomforts, obstacles, handicaps, if within your heart, you have truly given your life and will to God, the Father, Who’created you, then believe that as these things take place they are in line with His plan and that His wisdom will bring about far greater things than you could, in your own plan. Therefore, it may look topsyturvy, may look upside-down to you, inconsistent for a time. But you do not know what lies beyond inthe Father's plan for rounding out the life which He created and is literally raising up to Christhood.

Later, there is a greater, higher purpose which goes beyond the Paradise State of the millennium, Those growing into Christhood will be governing other worlds, other planets and solar systems. But you cannot be perfect in Him until you have the infilling of His great love (not emotional affection of the Earth), strong, divine love that has mercy and compassion for all, that has wisdom. In that love learn to live with that which you have asked for; learn to live with God's will. If it means releasing something or someone, release them into His keeping. They were not yours to keeps

Accept His will as wisdom, though beyond your understanding. In faith accept what God would’ have done through you, about- you, and for you. It does no good to ask sincerely that His will be done in you, if the next moment something happens that you do not like and you begin complaining. When you do so, you are forgetting that you asked for His will, How do you mow that this is not exactly what is taking place? And yet you do not want to accept it when it comes. When you ask these things, believe. Do not ask in the attitude that it might come to pass. After all, you do not know how it will be. Ask that the Father's will be done in all things and then believe that His wisdom shall govern and all shall be resolved. With all your heart, truly seek and you shall find. Do not become impatient with the time lapse between seeking and finding, for it is not always handed you quickly, but only after work and faith and patience. Scmetimes there may be years involved, and then again it may happen immediately, but God's wisdom works throughout.

It may be that you are not ready, are not capable of receiving immediately that for which you are asking. You may not yet have learned to control your human nature--your emotions or your mind--those things in which you might get carried away. You might. have an emotional reaction to something if you were given it quickly, so it would not be wise to give it to you so soon. You do not know this, but God does. So, in perfect faith, you accept and know that the law is working, that your prayer is on its way to being answered. Whether it be an hour or ten years, it is God bringing forth according to your readiness. If the desire and faith are there, you will be answered in the way of His will. This must be accepted, and one must realize that it is taking

Pp. When humans in the lower nature begin pleading with God to do something the way they want it done, it is God's mercy that this does not get answered. Answering the need of the soul that cries out is in the overall picture, but God does not have to bow down to your human nature. When you pray, go into your closet, into the holy sanctuary within you and be still and know God. Knowing that His Presence is available, rise to the higher nature and begin to take on the name and the nature of the Christ in you. Step into it;

it is yours--a gift of God. Glorify the Father by being that nature which He sent you forth to be. In that attitude, with that higher consciousness, in that spirit oriented around God the Father, ask anything and it shall be done. Then

Page 178

you speak with authority; then you, as a soul of the Adamic race, take dominion ever the Earth.

Your Lord leads you, directs you, is the head of that great body of followers. You, as a member of that body, must come into fully awakened consciousness and be, symbolically, that very life in the arteries and veins of that entire being. You must be the living light, moving in the consciousness that Jesus, the Christ, manifestede You feed on that, literally, until you become one with it. Then you become the "bread of life" to another, for the Father would also do the works through you.

The Father reveals as the light increases, reveals more of His plan pertaining to you. As you pray with a thankful heart, love overflows. It is the power that transforms you completely into the higher nature. Having chosen to fallin line with God's will, you emerge a free soul. Then the angels in Heaven rejoice. Then other victories take place--you transcend the limitations of Earth, Spirit energy, the creative forces of God in action, shall overcome matter. They are the energies that shall go forth to glorify Him.

The true work that you are to do is to believe in your Lord, who laid down his life to demonstrate the plan to you, to demonstrate the law-inaction of the creative force within you, according to the Father's blueprint. The begotten were sent forth to expand, led by the direction of the Holy Spirit. That indwelling spirit in each holy temple shall raise up and guide the soul, shall commune with and walk with the soul, the begotten son that shall move in conjunction with the Father's will. The great Light of the World drew you unto Himself as part of that light. You are one with it and the Christ nature shall be fulfilled in you.

Your Shepherd has gone before you, has shown you the way. He is the Way; not in a personal sense but in the way of a personal application of that great law which he demonstrated. Can you not see? In that day it happened before your eyes. For this day, remember that he said, “Blessed are those who see and believe, and even more blessed are those who believe without having seen, those who move in faith. You shall walk through the portals into the Paradise State, into His Kingdom of the fourth dimension, ready to go forth in greater service to help in the renewing of the very Earth itself. You shall be citizens of this for the next thousand years.

But now you are being prepared to meet him in the clouds. As he left, as he went away, so shall he return--in a celestial ship, with the host following. This is the divine intervention promised in your Holy Writings-- intervention during the most crucial of all times on Earth--the lifting of the remnant which has endured unto the end. Those true to his word have not become suspended anywhere along the way--earthbound in the astral planes. They shall go straight to the higher cosmic realms, for preparation by those who come unto Earth in accordance with the Father's will. Let your desire and your faith persist so that you be true to the conviction of the soul and keep the path, Feed on that constantly, that your mind not be turned into many other ways of the world, for you shall move into that which you look upon, read about, think about, desire.

The motives of the heart are the key. What are your motives? Would you be at home in the Father's will so that He may do the works through you, so that He may be glorified? Or would your inflated ego seek to take credit for all it has achieved? Which? Those of you who put aside self to come and serve as a vortex so the Father's works may be done in your midst shall be blessed. Remember that as two or more come together in His name, in one accord, with one purpose, in the higher consciousness of selfless love,

Page 179

then is the Spirit truly magnified in your midst. Thus you have forgotten self, humbled yourself enough to open wide the doors to be filled with God's love, Sending forth light unto others in need, The Christ has been in your midst, as you know. As you walk up the steps into higher vibration, and for a time turn Loose of the old self, your higher Christ nature comes to the fore and the Master walks through. When this many of you come together as one, in love and in His will, you rise into the higher nature, and for a moment transcend self. At that moment, you experience reality and the Master is in your midst. Be still, and know God.

My children, I am with you. I have prepared a place for you, and you are being prepared to enter in. Lo, I am with you always. Feed my sheep and I shall be your Shepherd.

Beloveds, we have all seen the glorious light of the Master. Before long he shall come in that body which you will recognize and change you to be like him. Be true within to that conviction. Marvel at his ways; trust in his wisdom and walk in his love. Selah.

Be quiet in your conversations after this, for the vibrations are very, very high. You shall receive healings. Let this energy of the higher light pass through every cell of your being. Direct it on out to others, always sharing, always productive in His name. Bless you.

The Canadian retreat, "Wastena,"” shall be used for many special purposes in days to come. Disciples are gathered together again, as in the days of Pentecost, awaiting further developments of the spirit, expectantly awaiting further instructions from the Master; hopeful, rejoicing in their hearts, loving and willing to serve. These are the requirements for disciples who enter the training for greater service in true spirit. You are meeting these well. Many assist you.
