THE AWAKENING CHRIST


Beloved and holy and only Child of our heavenly Father, Child of the one Source, Child of Light, divine. That is who you are. Take it deeply within the consciousness and contemplate what that means. I am the one known as Jeshua ben Joseph, Jesus you have called me, and it is in great joy that I come to abide with you this evening in your timing.

Great joy of reunion. Great joy leading up to your holy days. Great joy which is your birthright, your only true birthright, the innocence and the joy of the holy Child. Soon you will be celebrating what ones will call my birth, one Jeshua ben Joseph, although truly I was born in what you would call the end of summer, but it has been arbitrarily set to be at the time of most dark in the northern hemisphere to bring forth light.

My birth, as I have said, was not at this time of year, but it is very good that you celebrate the birth of the Christ. It is not my personal birth, but it is the birth of the Christ child and the Christ child of you that is awakening and becoming more and more obvious to you and to others.

We have spoken over the years many concepts, bread crumbs as they would be, leading you to the place where you find yourself now in your understanding of who and what you are. We have given you clues along the way, ideas to play with, concepts that have expanded your mind and your understanding; questions sometimes that allow you to think to the place where finally you are tired of thinking and you have allowed the heart to know the answer; in other words, to feel the peace and the joy of the Christ.

So truly in what you see to be a few weeks of your timing you will be celebrating the birthday of the Christ. When you do that, acknowledge for yourself that it is your own Christ’s birthday that you are celebrating. Give the gifts which are a token of your love to each and every one that you want to exchange with, as it is called, and know that truly the greatest gift of all is your friendship and your love with other ones.

The tangible goods, they are good as a symbol of your love, but they come and they go. Sometimes you have more of the tangible gifts than your cupboards and closets can hold. You get to the place of overflowing, and so you pass them on and give them to other ones, organizations that can redistribute them, and that is all very good.

This year, in these days leading up to the celebration of Christ’s birthday, which truly is every day, allow yourself to feel more and more of the holiness of you, the goodness of you, the joy and the innocence of you, the Light of you. Every morning when you awake, say to yourself either out loud or silently, “I welcome the Christ of me. I welcome the Christ of me that walks in the world and yet is not of the world. I am in the world as the Christ and I am making impact, I am making change,” because you are.

Each time you choose to acknowledge the Christ power of you, you change the vibratory rate of the collective consciousness and you allow it to ascend. And truly at some point the collective consciousness is going to awaken and it’s going to feel an ascension. Sometimes the bodies will feel it also and there will be the physical ascension, but that is not the important goal. That can happen, because you will come to that “Aha!” place where everything dissolves into Light and you no longer need/want the body, and you are so Light that you ascend. But that is not, as I have said, the goal.

The goal is to awaken to the place where you have that aha moment and you know, truly know, “I Am That Which I Am, that which I have always been. I Am the Christ, and I celebrate the Christ of me, and because there is no separation, the Christ of everyone I meet.”

Everyone you meet you have invited to be in your consciousness, to be in your awareness. Everyone you meet is of the same energy and the same fabric that you are. Everyone is the Christ, whether they know it or not. And you, as the days go by, are going to be recognizing more and more Christs walking, interacting with you, to the place where you are going to be smiling and welcoming them.

They may wonder, “What is he smiling about? Well, I don’t know, but it feels very good.” And they are going to welcome the smile, the acknowledgment that you have acknowledged them as a being, first of all, because that is how they will interpret it. But you will see them in Light and you will see them as the Christ come forth as a great ray of energy, always and forever remaking itself as the Christ.

So in these days leading up to the day of Christ Mass, Christmas, allow yourself to acknowledge every morning that, “I welcome the Christ of me. I’m really happy; happier this year than I have ever been.” Some holiday seasons as you have grown have been fraught with stress and questions, even the best of questions as to what should I buy as a gift for someone, and can I get it in time, and can I wrap it and give it to them in time.

Other times it has been fraught with the stress of wondering, “Why am I here? Why am I once again celebrating something that I do not understand?” You have asked that question as the years have gone by. “What am I truly celebrating on Christmas?” There have been some Christmases you have been disappointed because it wasn’t the big Aha! day that you thought it was going to be.

Perhaps the family and relatives were there and someone looked askance at another family member and there was some umbrage where ones were not too happy, and you have wondered, “Why is this happening on Christ’s birthday? Surely ones of the family can be happy for one day.”

And quite often that is truly what they are bringing forth. Because it is supposed to be a special day, they bring forth that which is unlike love and the Christ. And why do they do that? They do that in order to know that you can still love them even if they act opposite of what you would assume a holiday celebration should be.

But they are asking, sometimes in a most strong way, “If I make a mess of this day, can you still love me?” And you answer to them, “I still love you. I will love you this day. I will love you on the morrow. I will love you always, because I know that which you are.” You don’t actually say those words aloud, but you love them and you joke with them and you bring Light and laughter into the celebrations.

We have been speaking in the previous times we have been together about the changes that are happening and the changes that are anticipated in your next year. And there will be changes; they are already happening. We have spoken of the divisiveness, where that which is not of Light is showing itself and inviting the Light to shine upon it; all of the dark corners, all of the old issues, to have Light shone upon these issues, and that is what is happening.

You are coming to a place where you will be feeling the changes, and some of them will feel good and some of them you will understand. Some of them, you will take a deep breath and you will stand back from it and you will say, “Okay, I know this serves the atonement, because everything does serve the at-One-ment, the realization of Oneness.”

But sometimes you are going to have to take more than one deep breath. So I would suggest unto you that in this coming year you collect unto yourself, as many as is possible, ones of like mind who support your knowing of the Christ, who support your belief system and the molding and shaping and changing of that belief system as they mold and shift and change their belief system.

As often as is possible, seek out the ones who are of like mind. Now, I know that you are going to be walking amongst the brothers and sisters who may not use the same language or who may not have the same viewpoint. You will love them and you will be with them, but as I have said, as often as it is possible, seek out the ones who are going to be of like mind and support you as you support them in the changes that are happening.

You are very strong, so it is not going to hurt you any to be with others who have differing viewpoints, but you are going to want to come back to a place where you can let down some of the…I will call it armor, because you have put it on for many lifetimes, and you can just be with friends because they love you, they understand you, they know what truly is happening; not what appears to be happening, but what truly is happening.

So as often as is possible, surround yourself with friends who are of like mind. Do not shun the other ones, but as often as is possible, be with the friends who support you and you support them, because the changes are going to be quite great. They are going to be all for the good, even though at times they may not look that good.

And if you are with friends and you can affirm that this too shall pass, this too shall evolve into the realization of the whole Christ, then whatever is going on is going to take on a different appearance, quite literally in some cases.

You are the starseeds that we have talked about previously. You have come from various constellations, and you have come with a remembrance that says, “I’m not alone. I know that I have friends who activate bodies that look the same as my body, but I also know that I have friends who are either discarnate or are in incarnated body that looks a bit different, as yours has looked in other incarnations when you have been in other constellations; you have had other forms of incarnations.

Again, leading up to your day of celebration of the Christ, allow your mind to expand to invite all of the friends that you have ever known, ever, to make their presence known to you, and feel how blessed you are, because you are not here alone. You never walk alone. Always you have your guardian angel, as you call it. You have angels around you all the time. I walk with you all of the time. And many of the vibrations of friends from other incarnations that you would see in linear time to be a long, long time ago are with you as well; perhaps not in physical sight yet, but you are changing your vibration. The vibratory rate of your body is changing.

Your DNA, your scientists have told you, is changing, is undergoing change, and the vibratory rate of your body is ascending to the place where you are going to physically see things that you have imagined or wondered if they could be true. You are moving into a new understanding of who and what you are and who and what they are as they yet seem to be separate beings from you.

And then comes the great awakening where you realize, “Hey, we have played together other times. We truly know each other at the soul level, at the heart level.” And there will not be fear. Fear will no longer have its power over you, because you will recognize Oneness with the ones who are incarnate in bodies that look pretty much like yours and ones who activate incarnations that look a bit different and yet are of the Christ energy.

There is nothing truly to fear. Hear that well, because once you take hold of that idea, that truth of your being, that there is nothing, truly nothing to be afraid of, fear loses its power. Fear has been your companion many lifetimes, and you have learned how to armor yourself because you thought there was something out there that was stronger than you.

First of all, there is nothing “out there”. It is all within your consciousness. In addition to that, there is nothing that you can bring forth that is going to harm you, because you are the one who is creating it. And if you are the one, and I guarantee to you that you are the one creating it, you can un-create it as soon as fear is banished off to the wings, off of stage, no longer necessary.

Fear is not a truth. It is the truth with lower case “t”, but it is not True with a capital “T”. Fear is something you have created in order to adventure, to have that rush of adrenaline, to “know” that there’s something outside of me that I might be vulnerable to. There is nothing outside of you and there is nothing that you need defend yourself against.

One of the big changes that is coming about is the letting go of fear, as you know; you have written about this, and it is very true. Fear no longer has power over you. It only has power as you give it power and think that it might be true, but it is not.

The only truth of your being is that you are energy, energy that I have called love. I have likened that energy to love because when you are in love, you feel expansive. And when you are in love with someone, you forget the small self and you are only interested in the other one. For a moment or so or longer you find yourself forgetting yourself and the armor that you thought was necessary and you feel yourself to be One with the person who stands before you. You know only love.

Love is expansive. Love is energy, and you are energy. You have always been energy, and you have always had choice how to use that energy, how to fashion and form it. And then as you have created, you have found yourself enamored with your creations to the place where you felt that you had to defend those creations. You have felt that perhaps something could come along and knock over your sandcastle or whatever you had created, and so you began to identify with your creations to the place where you have forgotten that you created that creation in the first place.

That has been what has been termed the fall from grace, the fall from the remembrance that I am the divine One who created this in the first place; that is the fall into density. And now you are ascending out of it because you’ve had enough. I’ve heard you say that. “I’ve had enough…of the fear. I’ve had enough of the troubles and the sense of vulnerability.”

You are not vulnerable. Never does the holy Child need to be defended. The holy Child is not vulnerable. The holy Child is energy. It is the same as what you have with your electrical circuits that bring you the light. How creative you are to bring symbolism, especially at this time of year. You put up lights everywhere to remind yourself, if you will stop for a moment and see, you are the one creating those lights. You have put up the symbols of light all around you to remind you that you are the Light.

You are the Christ child born into a world that yet believes in darkness, the possibility of darkness. But you are ascending out of that place now because you have completed with it. You’ve gone through the challenges, the trials as you have called them, and you have passed each and every one of them, even though beforehand there was some questioning, “Can I really do this? Can I really get through this?”

And then you’ve come through to the other side and you have said, “Oh, that feels good. I have overcome.” In other words, you have let go of the false belief that there could be something outside of you that would be threatening or fearsome. No longer do you need to fear. No longer do you need fear in your life; only joy, happiness, the sharing of that.

You know how that feels when you share with another one the joy and the happiness. It feels expansive, does it not? It feels really good, and you say to yourself, “I wish I could stay in this place all of the time,” and you can. It takes only the willingness to choose and to say to fear and all of the questions that come with fear, “Get thee behind me. I am completed with you. Been there, done that, don’t need it any longer. Get thee behind me as I am walking forward, leaving it behind.”

That is where you stand now, a most wonderful place where you are beginning to understand the awakening Christ. That is where you are.

This year when you come to the birthday of the Christ, you are not going to be in the same place that you were a year ago or two years ago or ten years ago. You are in the place where you are awakening to the Christ of you, awakening to the place where you know your power; not as the world dictates power. That is in a duality. You can have power one day and lose it the next, seemingly, in the world.

But the true power of you lies in your realization of the Christ of you that has never been lost; has had a lot of adventures, but has never been lost, has never sinned. That’s a biggie. You have never sinned. Wow! Your churches, your philosophical institutions don’t agree with that one yet.

But you have never sinned. You have made choices and you have lived with the result of those choices and gone on to make other choices, but in truth, you have never sinned. You have played, the same as you will watch the little ones as they play in the sandbox or they play on the different equipment. They make choices. Perhaps they climb up the monkey bars and maybe they fall down. But they get up, brush themselves off, maybe they cry a little bit because they want somebody to acknowledge who they are and that something has happened to them. And then what do they do? They run off and do it again quite often.

You have done the same thing in lifetimes. You have gone through adventures. You have fallen down, you have cried and cried and said to people not so much in words but in actions: Acknowledge me; please tell me that I’m okay; please tell me who I am. And someone has comforted you, either incarnate or not. Sometimes it has been your guiding angel or a vision that has come to you. You wonder, “Where did that idea come from?”

You are not just the body. In fact, you are much more than the body. When your scientists get around to measuring the aura, which they are now doing, they see that you are not just ending with the skin. The skin is part of the body. It is one of the organs of the body. It happens to be on the outside. But it is not all that you are, and the body is not activating itself. You are activating the body, and the Light that you are is extensive.

In truth, the divine energy of you, the Christ of you extends even farther than you can imagine. You are part of the cosmos itself. The cosmos, the constellations, all of what your scientists are now bringing to your awareness, is there only because of you. So in other lifetimes you have fallen down, you have suffered, you have been the servant, you have been the abused one and so forth, and then you have come through that somehow and you’ve incarnated again and you’ve done it again.

You go running back to the jungle gym and climb up to the highest point and fall down again. You’ve done this over and over in lifetimes until finally you say, “This time I’m going to climb that jungle gym up to the highest height and I’m going to hold on and I’m not going to fall off of it. In fact, I’m going to recognize that the jungle gym itself is within my consciousness. I am creating it; otherwise, it would not be. Now, that is a thought that expands the mind.

As you flew here on the big bird…the big bird, where did it exist? In your consciousness. It was a shared consciousness, seemingly, with the other passengers on the airplane, yes. But truly it was within your belief system that this big bird made out of metal and heavier than air could lift itself up and fly thousands of miles to be in this location. See how great you are?

That is what you do. You get into your vehicle and you drive it, because you have understood the mechanics of putting the foot on the pedal and knowing the other brake pedal when you need it and the certain steering of it to keep it on the roadway. But where is the roadway? It is in your mind. Where is the vehicle? It is within your consciousness. You are creating it moment by moment so that it seems to be a continuum. And so it seems that it could be outside of you, but it is not. It is within your consciousness, within your knowing.

And if for a moment or so you would believe that you didn’t need that vehicle and you could think of where you wanted to be and then you would be there, you would be there. That is coming. It will be a great day of humor when the ones who supply the energy, your gasoline, electricity for the motor vehicles, realize that you don’t need the motor vehicles any longer. Where will they be? They’ll be out of a job, won’t they? Well, not really, because they will have switched to something else by that time.

I’m putting out ideas for you so that you can understand that you have nothing to fear. As one wise person said, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.” And once you come to that realization that there is nothing to fear—and there is not—you are free. You don’t have to worry about the body letting you down. You don’t have to worry about friends, co-workers, employers letting you down. You don’t have to worry about the leaders and the government letting you down. You don’t have to worry about the 1%, as it is known now, letting you down. You can let them go off and play their own games, because your belief system, your consciousness knows that you are okay and will always be okay.

You do not need the employment, someone else giving you directions so that you can earn the golden coins. If you were not in that employment, you would be serving somewhere else, because that is what life is for, is to love, serve, and remember. So if you were not where you are, you would be somewhere else serving and loving, and there would be an exchange of energy because there has to be.

There is never a vacuum. There is always an exchange of energy. So, take that to heart. Think about it. I am not saying for you to go in on the morrow or the next and say to your employer, “Hey, I don’t really need you any longer. Jeshua says I am free to make my own choices, so I think I’ll just leave.”

I’m not saying that to you at all. I am saying to you to appreciate where you are and to understand and know that you serve willingly. And yes, there has to be an exchange of energy. Nature, the true being of you, does not allow for a vacuum. There has to be an exchange of energy. So anywhere that you go, anywhere that you serve, there is going to be an exchange of energy. It may be in the form of the golden coins or it may be in another way, but always there is an exchange.

The part that you have to do, your responsibility, is to be aware that there is an exchange and that it may not look like the paycheck, the golden coins, but it will be an exchange; it has to. Nothing is ever done in a vacuum. So your awareness…you come alive in that awareness and you realize, “I am creating. I am serving. I am being paid in some way with an exchange of energy for my service.” And then you begin to realize that the ways that you are being paid, the exchange of energy, can be as varied as the grains of sand on the beach—many, many different ways it can come back to you, and will.

You will never be without. Sometimes it may look a little bit tight, but never will you be without. Always you will be taken care of. You have to be, because you have ordained that you will be taken care of.

You will never be lost. Ones fear laying down the body, because where do I go? Will I still have consciousness? Will I be lost, adrift in the void somewhere? No, you will always have consciousness. You will always know yourSelf—the greater Self, capital “S”—and in fact, many who awaken after having released the body are so joyous because they are free. They expand.

The light at the end of the tunnel is your own light, and you expand into that light. There is nothing to fear. Now, I’m not saying that message so that all of you say, “Oh, well, if I pass away in this next few weeks it will be okay.” I’m not saying that you are going to do that. In fact, you’re not, because there is much work to do. The harvest is great, and the laborers are very much needed.

So you are not going to lay down the body while there is still work to do. But when you come to the place of knowing completion with this incarnation, there is nothing to fear. It is only going to be all joy, Light, expansion—but not yet, because I need you to do my work. You are my hands, my feet, my smile, my words of comfort to ones who cannot see me, who do not have maybe the belief system yet that will allow them to know that they are not alone.

Some of them call out to me and to my mother, Mary, and they want to know comfort. But when we answer—and we are always there with them, with you, each and every one—they do not hear us because a long time ago they were told that they were not worthy to know Oneness. They were not worthy to have their prayers answered. If they didn’t pay the priests and rabbis, make sacrifices in the holy temple, then their prayers didn’t amount to anything. They were taught, you were taught that many lifetimes.

And so when we answer, they think it cannot be, because they still see me upon the cross. I am not on the cross. I only stayed there for a few hours. That was long enough. Then I came down from that, resurrected the body, knew it to be energy, and walked amongst you again to prove, to show to you that you are life itself. It cannot be extinguished. I will not be extinguished. It may change form, but life itself cannot be extinguished, so there is nothing to fear; only joy.

Especially in this holiday, holy time, allow yourself to live in joy. It is my gift to you. I give it freely, and you will accept it freely because it is given with no strings attached. You are life; always have been, always will be in one form or another; always serving the Light, because you are the Light and you recognize that which you are.

And you recognize other ones who are beginning to awaken to the Light that they are. You celebrate the Light with them. That is why I say to you, seek out ones of like mind and be with them as much as is possible, because that is going to expand and grow your knowing, feeling of the Light and the divinity of you.

If you surround yourself with—I will use one of your words here—negative people, you know how that feels. It feels like you want to run from it. It feels heavy, constricting, and that kind of energy has yet to awaken to all that it is.

So as much as is possible, seek out ones who are ready to have joy in their life, to know the innocence, to play, to laugh, to sing, to celebrate truly the birth of the Christ. That is what you are doing right now. It is the awakening Christ that sits before me right now. It is the awakening Christ that hears these words. It is the awakening Christ that reads the words. You are very much birthing in your consciousness the totality of the divinity of you, and it is enormous.

The totality of the divinity of you is powerful and has no place for fear any longer. Play with each other. Be free with each other. Celebrate, truly celebrate the birth of the Christ in this your holy time, your holy days. Awaken in each morning and greet the Christ of yourself and say, “Okay, what shall we do on this holy day? How can we serve the Light? How can we know the Light? How can we know that we are the Light?”

Wow! And you will leap out of bed, tickle the toes a wee bit, and go forth as the Christ that you are. Know that you have brought yourself to this place—and I don’t mean this physical dwelling, but this place of awakening—because it is time. You have foreordained that at some point in linear time you will know the Christ of you, and this is the time. So be it.
