Question:
Regarding the Bible quote from Jesus, “He who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.” (John 14:12), how can I “go to the Father” and do “greater works” than Jesus did?

Answer:

According to the Bible, Jesus also said, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:14-15) I think a lot of the greater is in the humanizing and ordinariness of whatever was considered exalted or elitist of the Christ.

You may think you’re not worthy, but the Christ is not about your personal nature. It’s about what is of the divine nature and what works in the situation you are in, with what you know and what you are willing to learn and allow to manifest regardless of your current limitations and beliefs. Jesus wasn’t talking about some singular event like, “You’re going to leap up on this rock like me and then you’re going to leap up on a bigger rock.” This action, this line of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness is going to a greater action, a greater aspect further up the line that is the Christ and the consciousness of the soul. So as you follow in this line, you move into the greater action of the Spirit that is in the Spirit first. And the greater Christ action is present and available to those who choose the greater aspect.

The source for the greater work of the Christ is the Father-Mother-God which, in the Bible, Jesus often attributed to the Father. It is the Father who allows and does the work. We can choose into this same source even to that which is greater since with God we have a source without limit. We are the limit. By letting go, we open ourselves to discover the source that is God and with whom all things are possible. As we increase our capacity as an instrument of God’s work in this world, we find this is a process of knowing unconditional love which is the love of God for all of His creation.

We don’t teach, “Go to the body.” We say, “Go to the Father. Go inside.” At some point we realize we have a home and we have a place where we belong. We realize that, while we are in the world, our humanity often perceives in ways that appear alien and separate from the Divine. The yearning comes forward that is the calling of our divine nature — the soul impulse to go back home and to go to the Father that is God, to go to the Mother that is God. We can prepare our self to go to the place that Jesus as the Christ has prepared for those with the eyes to see and ears to hear. We transform our self through our dedication to living love and in accordance with our true self. All else is fuel for the journey home.
