The Lamb Of God
All of you are on the Earth plane to bring forth your Christ nature, meaning that which is best and holy in you. When you practise it at all times and in every one of your encounters, it moves more and more into the foreground of your consciousness until you truly behave like a son/daughter of Mine and a young God in the making. Christ the redeemer has been born in your consciousness and heart. This is how in the fullness of time it will appear in all human hearts and souls.
That is the message the Jesus legend with its image of the child in the manger in a stable at Bethlehem has been trying to bring to your world all along. Bethlehem and the stable are metaphors for the human heart, the most humble place on the Earth. Only by coming alive in human hearts can Christ the Saviour and Redeemer be born. Thus the old prophecies will be fulfilled at last.
The depiction of Jesus as the beloved lamb of God is an allegory of this final initiation that awaits every human soul at the end of its earthly education. Having grown tired of the trials and tribulations of Earth life, every soul reaches the evolutionary point when it is ready to be released from it. Freely and willingly you then turn to Me and surrender every part of your being, especially your will, to Me and My will. All your sins, i.e. the drives and urges of your lower nature, have been left behind. Through lack of use they fade ever more from your consciousness until they have been dissolved and gone from you for good. The motto ‘use it or lose it’ applies to all aspects of your being, the higher as well as the lower ones.
And that is the only way anyone can be cleansed from the so-called ‘sins of the world’. The only desire that then fills your whole being is to serve Me as a channel for bringing healing and peace to your world. This you do whenever you help one of your spiritual siblings to rediscover their true nature, origin and destiny, as that enables them to find their own way back into the oneness with me.
Neither Jesus, even if he ever had existed, nor anyone else can do this work for you. You alone are responsible for yourself, your character and your destiny. You on your own, with the help of the Angels and Me, have to freely and willingly walk in the footsteps of a spiritual Master and become one yourself. A Master is someone who with every passing day grows more thoughtful and considerate, kind and loving, patient and tolerant. This has always been the hidden esoteric message of the Jesus legend.
The original idea of Islam represents the initiation when the human soul re-awakens to its true nature and re-establishes and heals their relationship with Me. The more you surrender yourself totally and unconditionally to Me, your Highest or God Self, the more your lower earthly nature fades away. As you increasingly pay attention to and follow the guidance you receive from Me, the living God within you, the earthly self slowly dies on the cross of its earthly existence. As often as not this is quite a painful death. Jesus nailed to the cross depicts this phase of your development.
With the passing of time your trust in Me, My guidance and protection grows so much that eventually you follow the instructions you receive from within without hesitation. The more you do this and place your whole being into My loving hands, the more we grow into one. My desires and hopes, dreams and aspirations for you and your world have always striven to bring about the highest good and the greatest joy for all of you. These dreams are yours now, too.
Total surrender to God is the principle and most fundamental teaching of Islam. In Arabic, the word ‘Islam’ means submission or surrender. It has its origin in the root word ‘salam’, meaning peace and safety. Many people feel that Islam implies some sort of enslavement to Me. Yet, surrendering your whole being into My loving hands, to be guided and protected by Me and shown the way at all times has nothing to do with selling your soul into some kind of slavery.
Many religions contain the idea of surrender to Me. To encourage it, Jewish history speaks of a time when the ancient Hebrews obeyed My commands and because of it enjoyed a long period of prosperity and stability. In Christianity, surrendering to Me is a way of putting your life into hands that are more capable than earthly ones: Mine. That is why in the Jesus legend the Master asks his disciples to surrender their livelihoods and follow him. The esoteric meaning behind these words is leaving the desires of your lower nature behind and following those of your Highest or God Self, Mine. That is what I ask from each one of you as budding Masters, each in your own right.
Allah is the Muslim word for Me and it is true that when you obey My commands and trust My wisdom and truth, not because it is printed in an ancient book that has long become outdated, but as each one of you can now receive it intuitively and directly from Me. That is the only way any one of you can find the peace Islam promises its followers. In its original and most profound meaning this religion never did represent a one-sided relationship with Me, in which the believer is My slave. Instead of this it points to the fact that a covenant and a special agreement has always existed between humankind and Me, the Great Father/Mother of all life, and My only born Son/Daughter, the Universal Christ, the light of all lights.
As you know, the law of life is love and when you endeavour to conduct your life strictly in keeping with this law by being kind and loving, thoughtful and generous, patient and tolerant to everyone you meet, all you are doing is being true to your real nature. When you are taking your character and with it your destiny into your own hands and place them into Mine, in total faith and trust that no harm will ever come to you, isn’t that freedom of the highest kind? Not by any stretch of the imagination could it be interpreted as enslavement. Many are afraid of losing their identity when they surrender their small earthly selves into My loving hands. Rest assured that this fear is totally unfounded. Read more about this by clicking the relevant link at the end of this chapter.
When you follow the instructions you receive from Me, the living God within, through the world of your feelings, you are surrendering yourself to Me. And when you surrender your will to Mine you are doing it in exchange for the gift of living in peace and safety, and that not only in your present earthly existence but forever. Look forward to the times when you once more walk hand in hand with the Angels and Masters, your friends and helpers in the world of light, seeing them and communicating with them. If you so wish, you will be allowed to join them in their work of helping those who are struggling on the Earth plane, the same as you are doing now. I do not think anyone could wish for more.
Muslims believe that the Quran is the verbatim word of God as it was revealed to the Islamic prophet and messenger Muhammad. They also follow the sunnah teachings and practices of Muhammad as recorded in traditional accounts called hadith. Muslim is an Arabic word that means one who submits to God. Many of them to this day have yet to discover what total surrender to Me entails, namely by obeying My laws, in particular the laws of love and Karma, as well as that of equal rights and duties for all My children of the Earth.
Total surrender to Me means letting go of your small earthly self’s ambitions for self-aggrandisement, powerseeking, empire building and the endless warmongering these things bring in their wake. When instead in your visions to see yourself as unselfishly serving Me in some kind of fashion, you are ready to be used as a channel for bringing renewed hope, faith and trust to your world, so that peace and goodwill may come to it at last. That’s when you are surrendering your small earthly self and nailing it to the cross of the spiritual ignorance of Earth life.
The more you act kind and loving, thoughtful and compassionate, tolerant and patient towards everything that crosses your path in all your daily encounters, the more God-like you are becoming. As are doing your share of establishing My kingdom on the Earth for all members of the human race and everything that shares it with you, your final loving reunion with Me grows ever closer. There is no need for anyone to wait for it until you have left the earthly plane. When I, your Highest or God Self, have finally taken over your whole being – while you are still dwelling there – you have evolved into a Christed one in your own right.
