It is our destiny this time on the planet to lift the consciousness of the world, to actually prepare for the golden age.\u00a0 And those of us in this Movement are that golden bridge that takes us from the consciousness of yesterday to the consciousness of tomorrow.<\/em>\u00a0 \u2013 John-Roger<\/p>\n

I was introspecting over the words that Jesus said when he was getting ready to leave his twelve disciples.\u00a0 He said to John, the Beloved, as he had said to the others, \u201cI\u2019m going to prepare a place for you, but you can\u2019t go there now\u201d (John 14:2).\u00a0 This was very interesting because they had followed him almost everywhere prior to that moment.\u00a0 And I remembered that it was brought forward last year in the Christmas Eve Meditation that Jesus said, \u201cI am the Son of Man,\u201d (John 8:28) he was really saying, “I am the Self of Man.” And the Self of man is really the Christ and the Christ action.<\/p>\n

There is nothing quite so precious as your Self.\u00a0 The cosmic Self or the Christ Self is in contact with all knowledge.\u00a0 It is in contact with all universal wisdom, but more important, it\u2019s in contact with God.\u00a0 And through this consciousness of our own Self we can rise up so high that we will seem large physically.\u00a0 We can lift ourselves so dynamically that we will give the appearance of filling the room with our presence.\u00a0 And yet, we know that we can\u2019t inflict it on one other Christ Consciousness.\u00a0 As we look at each person we can see their beauty and their love.\u00a0 We can see their Light.\u00a0 We can adore them for the Christ that they are and assist them, if it\u2019s for their highest good, to lift into all consciousness that are theirs.<\/p>\n

God didn\u2019t put us on this planet to be beggars.\u00a0 He put us here and said, \u201cYou are the princes of the throne and you are heirs to all powers, municipalities and kingdoms.\u00a0 I will give you the Light.\u00a0 I will sustain you infinitely and all you have to do is come back to me.\u201d\u00a0 But we\u2019ve heard the old saying \u2013 straight is the way and narrow is the gate, and a few can really enter in, only because they refuse to.\u00a0 Your Christ Consciousness will bring you into position where you can enter in, if you desire to.\u00a0 It will bring you into position where you can readily enter into your own Self awareness, into your own movement of spiritual inner awareness.\u00a0 It will bring you to the point at which you become the Messiah, the promised one.\u00a0 You become the Alpha, the Omega; you become from everlasting to everlasting because you already are.\u00a0 That is, to me, the greatest heritage of the Christ Mass or Christmas as we celebrate it.\u00a0 We\u2019re actually celebrating our own birth.\u00a0 We\u2019re celebrating our own resurrection.\u00a0 We\u2019re celebrating triumphantly our movement back into our own Self of Christ Consciousness.\u00a0 In fact, many of us are just rushing into it, arms open, heart wide open, full of love and knowing that not one thing is coming our way that we can\u2019t handle.<\/p>\n

If things have seemed rough for you in the last year, we were just ripping away the barriers of our own Self because once you see your own Soul, once you can glimpse that Self within you in all it\u2019s majesty and glory, oh, my friends, nothing the world can give you is going to mean too much from that point on.\u00a0 Someone may give you a new house, a new Cadillac, furs, jewelry and a lot of money, and you\u2019ll say, \u201cYes, all right, okay, now let\u2019s get going.\u00a0 I want to get back to the Self.\u201d\u00a0 It would be like a little child giving an adult a mud pie.\u00a0 You\u2019d say, \u201cYes, yes, very nice \u2013 now let\u2019s go on.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way these material things will look to you, and yet, we\u2019re in the flesh and this is where we\u2019re going to work out most of our karma.\u00a0 A good percentage we\u2019ll work out here, and we\u2019ll work out the other during the night watch in the negative or psychic worlds.\u00a0 You can feel yourself lifting only if you don\u2019t get hung up on the physical world.\u00a0 But don\u2019t escape it.\u00a0 Don\u2019t do anything to escape the world.\u00a0 So many people now are running so fast to get away from themselves, and yet, we have to come back to the Self; we have to come back to it in a natural, orderly way.\u00a0 We have to come back and say, \u201cHere I am, Lord, the heir to the throne and the prince of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just realize for a moment that you are the heir.\u00a0 Nothing can be denied you.\u00a0 Of course, you have to work off the things you\u2019ve earned but when you\u2019ve worked them off, you will find out that you may order the universes of Light and they will bow down to you.\u00a0 These angels of the highest realms of Light will minister to you when you realize that you are Christed, when you realize that your Self is divine, is eternal from everlasting to everlasting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so beautiful that the Light has brought us together, every level of society, all races, all religions.\u00a0 The Light does not care what racial heritage you\u2019re working this time.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t care if you are a banker, a robber, a housewife, a dentist.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t care.\u00a0 It just wants to worship with you, your own divine Self.\u00a0 So you ask for the Light to move in with you and it does \u2013 so joyfully that you can be lifted up.\u00a0 But it knows that it\u2019s loyalty is always to the supreme God, that one who must remain nameless.\u00a0 We, consciously, may sometimes say, \u201cMaybe my loyalty is to my bank book or to my job\u201d, and while we get hung up on those things, the Light is busy showing us that we must continue towards God.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve asked many times, \u201cHow do we get to God?\u00a0 How are we going to get there?\u201d\u00a0 We get there by overcoming our conscious self in the mind, and stepping into our Christ consciousness, which is the Soul, our True Self.\u00a0 And the True Self can be recognized by these attributes \u2013 love, charity and wisdom.\u00a0 We all exercise love when we get something we want, but can we still exercise that love when we don\u2019t get something we want?\u00a0 Can we assist other people without inflicting ourself upon them?\u00a0 Can we lovingly help them through things without taking it away from them?<\/p>\n

One of the biggest things that I have to work with in my consciousness is that I see you manifesting so much beautiful Light that I want to move in with you and make it all perfect.\u00a0 I could; that would be the easiest thing in the world to do.\u00a0 But the hardest thing is to stand back and love you and let you go through it.\u00a0 Your agony is my agony because I sense it so intently with you, and yet the love you give me is the love that sustains me to give love back to you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an old saying through the line of Mystical Travelers \u2013 if you love the Master, he\u2019s always with you.\u00a0 And if you don\u2019t love the Master, he\u2019s always with you, but you might not know it.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same thing with the Christ Consciousness.\u00a0 When we love it intently, it\u2019s with us, but even when we don\u2019t love it and even if we curse it, it\u2019s still with us, but we might not know it.<\/p>\n

The preceptor comes forward to tell you of the other realms of consciousness and to say, \u201cLook, we can all go and we can go now, but to go high we must be freed from all the chains that bind and confine us here on the planet.\u201d\u00a0 So we very joyfully unshackle ourselves and then we learn to use the wisdoms to step forward in those areas that are for our highest good.\u00a0 Sometimes your highest good may be a little bit different than you think it should be.\u00a0 I think some of you have found this out.\u00a0 You ask for the highest good and something happens and you say, \u201cThat doesn\u2019t feel too good.\u201d\u00a0 And yet, you look back and say, \u201cI\u2019m so glad that I went through that.\u00a0 That taught me a tremendous lesson; a tremendous experience came forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everywhere you go is sacred ground and every person you touch is a sacred person and each consciousness is to be respected and all the hurts, the headaches and the sorrows can be turned over to the Inner Master and there they will be dissolved through the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 When I say, \u201cCome, let\u2019s go to this place that has been prepared,\u201d we can then lay aside the material, those things that will perish, and step into the invisible or the spiritual and be with that which never perishes.\u00a0 Step from the consciousness that we call the physical into the consciousness that we call the spiritual, where we know that nothing can separate us, where nothing can stand in our way and though the gates of hell would prevail against us, we\u2019ll just place the Light there.<\/p>\n

It is our destiny this time on the planet to lift the consciousness of the world, to actually prepare for the golden age.\u00a0 And those of us in this Movement are that golden bridge that takes us from the consciousness of yesterday to the consciousness of tomorrow.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll walk back and forth on the bridge many times taking the Light of tomorrow.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll walk back and forth on that bridge many times taking the Light to the people of yesterday and walking them across that golden bridge of promise to the consciousness of tomorrow.\u00a0 We\u2019ll show them the way.\u00a0 We will be Light bearers because the spiritual Light is seen with the unseeing eyes and the spiritual sound is heard with the unhearing ears.<\/p>\n

There is only one truth that we repeat over and over, and that is that you and I are one and that I am always with you, as you are always with me.\u00a0 Knowing that, I never walk alone, and neither do you.\u00a0 When you falter a little bit, there will be a Light bearer there to steady you, not to take a step for you \u2013 they won\u2019t do that, but they\u2019ll steady you so that you can take your next step.\u00a0 And so we support every action, no matter what it is.\u00a0 And we do love each and every person, no matter who they are, no matter what they say, no matter what they do, no matter.\u00a0 We look through the eyes of the Master at all, and with adoration we love them just as little children because we are all children of God.<\/p>\n

And when we become that One with the Christ Consciousness then we become the only begotten and we become that One in the great ocean of love and mercy.\u00a0 So this year, if you will, just take love and charity and the wisdom to use these where ever you go.\u00a0 Let people come to you to be lifted.\u00a0 They\u2019ll search you out.\u00a0 Give people the chance to come to you.\u00a0 Don\u2019t hold yourself off in an ivory tower.\u00a0 You may say nothing about the Light, but by being full of love and charity and wisdom, they\u2019ll get the message.<\/p>\n

God bless each of us, and if I could wish one thing and see that it came true, I would wish that we all keep facing the Light because that way we don\u2019t see the shadows and it\u2019s only shadows that frighten us. \u00a0If you do turn from the Light and see the shadows, don\u2019t become afraid because all you have to do is turn back to the Light and the shadows run away.<\/p>\n

I am always with you.<\/p>\n
