On this Good Friday, as we acknowledge with reverence the
death of Jesus (Jeshua, the Christ), let us see and understand more about the
greater meaning for us in what it means to die as Jesus died. Jesus never
wanted to be worshipped, he wanted to be our guide, teacher and brother. “Follow
me” were his words, so what do they really mean? His death was not a human blood
sacrifice, but an example for us to follow. Death to the world run by the ego,
which believes in separation and egoic ideals with its objectives of power,
dominion, money, self-centric thinking and its beliefs in hierarchies of
worthiness. Jesus’ teachings and his life were examples of this death to our egoic
thinking, need to separate from others and belief in our separation from God, the divine. We are all children of the one God, spirit,
source of all life, and it is our hearts where our higher divine self resides that
remembers our connection. Our divine higher self hearts are who we truly are. Jesus
taught that we must die to our egoic ideals and values that run this world, and
return to our true selves that see the love, compassion and connectedness in us
all and to God. That is how we change the world, return to our God, our source and creator,
and our beloved teacher Jesus, who was sent to save us by showing us. Jesus' teachings help us remember who we really are.
It is time to be more public and open with our inner being – our higher selves - and BE who we are and were meant to BE in our public lives as well as our private lives. COVID helped us return to and focus on our inner being without the distractions of all the “doingness”. It is time to bring that higher self back into our doingness and into every aspect of our lives, regardless of whatever political, economic, religious or other peer pressures we may think require a different approach. That is the egoic thinking that Jesus showed us we must die to and, instead, live in connectedness to our hearts at all times, which includes connectedness to others and to God. Thank you, Jesus/Jeshua, for your example of Christ consciousness and the death that we must go through, however challenging and painful it may be.
Let us die to the separation that the ego tells us we must have from others.
It is time now to share with you the visual that I started seeing a couple of years ago on our connectedness.
Jesus reflected the Christ (Divine) Consciousness that must be attained in order to reach full unity and connection with God and the divine. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through me.” The Christ Consciousness is the truth and the light, and no one gets to the Father God and Source but through the Christ Consciousness – the heart – our higher self operating in the divine consciousness state. That was Jesus/Jeshua. The heart and our higher self is how we are all connected. How to reach that state of unity back to our true divine selves with God and each other was what Jesus was teaching. For those with ears to hear…
Let your thoughts of separation – which come from the ego – die in you on this day of reverence for the death of Jesus and his example of dying to this world of ego and separation from others and union with the divine through union with others and our hearts. Don’t let dogma, doctrine and ego separate you from others. “Love your neighbor as yourself….” “Love others as I have loved you…”
Peace and love to all, my brothers and sisters. We are all
one family.
