The Rest of the Story
Friday, April 2, 1999
I invite you to still your mind and calm your emotions as it is time to take a special journey to remember the sacrifice of beloved Micah as Master Jesus, to recall to your mind several of the important events that led up to his crucifixion but more importantly, to acknowledge and celebrate his resurrection and ascension. Keep in mind beloved ones, that he truly was the perfect example, the way shower of the limitless possibilities available to each person when they remain centered within Christ Consciousness.
Begin to breathe in deeply, and now fully release your breath. Once again, take a deep and cleansing breath in, and release it. Continue this gentle rhythm of slowly, breathing in and out. Consciously instruct your body to relax. Silently say to yourself: Physical Body be still! Mental Body be still! Etheric Body be still! Emotional Body be still! Let go of all things of the outer world right here and right now.
Concentrating upon and using your sacred and holy breath, you quickly realize you are breathing in time with the Breath of God. As you breathe in, God is breathing out. As you breathe out, God is breathing in. Breathe in God's Mercy and breathe out God's Forgiveness. Breathe in God's Love and breathe out God's Peace. Continue to gently breathe in, and slowly breathe out.
Go within now, to your own sacred Garden of God's Peace.... That special place within, where you are one with God.... That personal place where you commune with that divine part of your true being, deep within the Great Silence.
Allow yourself now, to travel in consciousness high into the atmosphere over your sacred sanctuary of Light. Looking to your right, silently and effortlessly pass swiftly through the atmosphere of Earth past the end of Long Island, east across the great Atlantic Ocean, over Spain and a small portion of France. Turning slightly to the south you traverse the Mediterranean Sea crossing the tip of Italy, the southeast corner Greece and the wonderful island of Crete. Swiftly approaching land once again, you enter the etheric realm over the Holy Land.
Taking a moment to catch your breath, see before you a myriad of angels who joyfully acknowledge you as a good friend and co-server, by enfolding you in their divine mercy, compassion, love and peace. Far off in the distance you hear a beautiful angelic choir singing songs of welcome, joy and praise. Their voices are so perfect and their harmony is like nothing you have ever heard before. How beautiful they are and how enraptured you become by their melodious sound.
Suddenly you feel a very gentle wind blowing across your face. As your attention turns to the east in an attempt to locate the source of this all-encompassing wonderful breeze, you see a faint light far off in the distance. Slowly, the light begins to expand outward toward you, and as it does, it becomes brighter and brighter. What or who is this you wonder? Just as the light gently enters your aura, you realize you are in the Presence of Master Jesus. Grateful for this honor and privilege, you humbly bow in loving recognition.
Jesus opens his arms wide and says, "Beloved daughters and sons of the Most High Living God, I AM the Way, the Truth and the Light. It is proper that we come together once again, on this Good Friday. All too often on Earth, many people view Good Friday as a day of sorrow, because they focus their attention only upon my crucifixion and so-called death. In reality, beloved ones, this time should be looked upon as one of celebration and victorious accomplishment! For indeed, through my actions, death was truly conquered! For me, it was a time of tremendous fulfillment, the completion of an ancient and sacred commitment, made long before my embodiment in this one short lifetime. As I was able to be victorious, so too can each one of you!
"Let us journey back now, to a time about two thousand years ago. I AM sure it comes as no surprise when I tell you, that we were together on the physical plane then? For indeed, we were! Take a moment, right now, to go deep within and, through the memories of our combined etheric records, let us relive some of the events of my ministry that led to the crucifixion and my resurrection.
"We shall start with my baptism. Do you remember? It was a perfect day! The sky was brilliant blue and crystal clear, except for a few puffy clouds that occasionally drifted by. It was quite warm but a soft breeze kept it from being too hot. Walking together through knee high grass, for what seemed like a very long time, we finally began to hear the gentle rushing of the waters of the River Jordan. As we neared the river it was difficult to keep the pebbles and sand out of our sandals so we began to walk a little faster. Upon our arrival, we quickly realized how the atmosphere had changed. The sky was still a brilliant blue but now it was absolutely still. There was no talking by anyone present, and a feeling of great reverence filled the shallow canyon.
"Very softly at first, a powerful voice could be heard, and as it grew louder, we realized a man was reciting a prayer, that obviously, he has given many times before. As he entered the water, we all recognized John immediately, for he was dressed as he always was, in a garment of camel’s hair with the leather pouch around his waist that he was never without.... Some of you, along with many other men and women were baptized that day. I was the last one to enter the sacred life-giving water. As I approached John, at first, he seemed reluctant to baptize me. But I explained to him, that it was necessary, in order to fulfill God's Divine Plan. As the water touched my body, a beautiful dove descended from above. Recall, beloved ones, the all encompassing voice of our Father-Mother God which came forth from Heaven above saying: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased".
And so I had accomplished one of the earlier steps in the completion of my mission. My ministry was not an easy one but by remaining attuned to my God Presence, I was able to do many things that most people would call miracles. These things which I did, were not done by me alone, but by my Father-Mother God working through me. Always remember, beloved ones, when you allow yourself to be a radiating center of God's Perfect Love, Wisdom and Power, then you too, will be able to do these things and even greater things than I have done.
Wherever I went, there were crowds of people present during the various times healings were performed. Often the lame were made to walk; the blind had their sight restored; and the lepers were cleansed of their afflictions. I ask you to recall specifically, the healing of the centurion’s servant. Remember the young soldier who met me in Capernaum. He was dressed in a Roman tunic, with a metal breast plate covered his chest. Upon the belt around his waist, he carried a sword. Hesitantly, he removed his helmet and then asked me to heal his servant. Anyone could see the great concern on his face. I stood up in order to follow him to his house, but he wanted only that I speak the sacred word of healing. Such faith in this man! He understood the power of the spoken word, and so his servant was healed.
Beloved ones, when you permit your God Consciousness to be the sole commanding force within you, then you too, can speak the word, and it shall manifest. Think I AM that I AM. Be I AM that I AM in the world of form. For a moment, think of a time in your life when you saw such faith, or even better, when you had such faith. We have each had our moments!
Do you recall the feeding of the five-thousand?. . . .We had been walking a long time, since early in the morning. Many people had been healed and many truths had been shared. Now, evening was approaching. Walking over the rocks on the hillside was becoming increasingly more difficult in the fading light. To add to the problem, most among this large group had been without sustenance of any kind for almost a day. Many infants had come with their parents and you could often hear them crying out with the pain of hunger. The older children also began to fight among themselves.
The disciples were becoming very concerned, for the crowd was so large, and there was little available with which to feed this multitude. It was suggested to send several people to buy food in the nearby villages. But I said no! Let the crowd be seated. For at that moment I chose to remain centered in the knowledge that God would provide whatever was needed. And it was within the consciousness of at-one-ment with an Omnipotent God, that the five loaves of bread and two fish we had were multiplied with such abundance, that everyone was fed. There were even twelve baskets left over! Think for a moment again, beloved ones. Where does your supply and abundance come from? Have you ever truly been without? Do you know why this is? You may wish to take a moment to silently offer blessings and gratitude to the Supreme Source of all life.
Another example of my God given powers was the rising of Lazarus from the dead. My heart was indeed heavy when I heard the news of Lazarus' death and I quickly traveled to Bethany. Lazarus' sister, Martha, was so upset when she met me on the road. My desire was to bring her comfort so I shared with her the following truth: I AM the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whosoever lives and believes in me, will never die. Later, I cried openly as I stood before the opening of his tomb. Knowing that perfection is more powerful than the lethargy of imperfection, I invoked all the God qualified power and momentum of life everlasting, and I directed this energy into the core of Lazarus' being. Lazarus responded by coming forth!
Let us pause for a moment once again beloved ones. How many of you have lost a friend or loved one through so called death, only to often experience their Presence in your life now? In the oneness of all life and the gift of life everlasting, circumstances often present themselves in which we are able to consciously connect with those, who have gone before us. Recognize when this happens in your lives, dear chelas. Instead of surrounding yourselves in sorrow, be happy and grateful for each and every opportunity you are given to connect with these dear souls. As I neared the conclusion of my ministry and time upon the earthplane, I triumphantly entered the city of Jerusalem upon the back of a small donkey. It was a warm day. Many people lined the path, waving palms and shouting over and over again: Hosanna! Hosanna! Beloved is he who comes in the name of the Lord! It was a joyous time. It was a busy time. Yet, just one short week later, I was betrayed by one of my disciples, tried by Pontius Pilate, and sentenced to death. Imagine my disappointment and sorrow, when despite all of the good I had done―healing the sick, teaching the truth, and raising the dead―the people asked that Barabbas, a known criminal, be released and that I be crucified.
Regardless of this, I was determined to remain true to my commitment and complete my earthly mission! I called upon all the Ascended Ones in the Higher Octaves of Light to assist me in my greatest hour of need. Time and time again, as I felt the sting of the whip on my back, as it cut into my flesh, I called for additional strength and fortitude. When they placed a crown of thorns on my head, and the blood ran down my face, I became more determined than ever to complete my task. I was mocked and spit upon by the crowd, yet, I continued to remain centered in God Consciousness. The cross I bore was very heavy indeed, and I often stumbled under its burdensome weight, as I walked the final pathway to my pre-destined future.
As I reached Golgotha, I was furthered tortured, as my hands and feet were nailed onto the cross, and it was lifted up into the air. For just a moment, I wondered if and why my Father-Mother God had forsaken me, but I knew that this was not possible, for God never forsakes his children!
I then looked out into the crowd and my heart was instantly filled with mercy and compassion, for at that moment, I understood that the people did not understand the magnitude of what they were doing. So I asked my Father-Mother God to forgive, not only those who were present, but also those who were to come. Looking for a familiar face my eyes fell upon my blessed mother. Beloved Mary, though wracked with sorrow herself, provided me with the additional strength I needed as she continued, as always, to hold the Immaculate Concept for me and all humankind. For you see, Mary had also been trained for this moment as well, beloved ones.
The end of my final hour came with the words: “It is finished!” and I returned my spirit back into the loving Heart of God who had originally sent me forth. My physical body was then placed in a borrowed tomb.... This is where my story stops for so many people and why they perceive Good Friday as a time of sorrow. However, this is not where my story ends, beloved ones, for the most important event for you and all humanity was yet to come!
After three days, Mary Magdalene, then Peter and the other disciples discovered the empty tomb. At that very moment, they saw and believed that, yes, I had made my resurrection from the grave, proving once again, that the Infinite Power of God, the Consciousness of the Christ, that beats within each one of our hearts, is more powerful than any human circumstance or experience. Dear chelas, what is true for me, is also true for each of you. You have this same Christ Consciousness within you. I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE...
As the resurrected Christ, I appeared to my mother, my disciples and numerous others on several occasions. Finally, my time to permanently leave the earthplane had come. On a bright warm day, with a slight wind at our backs, we walked up the hill together for the last time. Many of those present, were deep in contemplation. Perhaps they were a little concerned about my actual departure. After a few wonderful moments among the presence of those I loved and cherished so deeply, and whom loved me also, I then looked into the eyes of my beloved mother, I looked into the eyes of each one of my beloved disciples, and lastly, I looked into the eyes of my friends, every one so very dear to my heart and silently bid them each farewell for now.
Taking a deep breath I left them and walked the last few steps up the side of the hill alone. Once there, using the power of the Holy Breath and the affirmation I AM ONE WITH GOD, I expanded my consciousness further than ever before and publicly made my Ascension. It was the completion of my sacred commitment and the fulfillment of this part of God's Divine Plan for me, proving once again, that all things are possible, when you allow Christ Consciousness to be the sole commanding power and presence within you.
The gifts that I used demonstrated the power within each of you, as daughters and sons of the Most High Living God. They are your birthright, your divine heritage. Trust in yourselves, beloved ones. Accept these gifts, so you too, can do even greater things. I accomplished the purpose for which I had come to Earth. What is your purpose dear chelas, both individually and collectively? What is that sacred commitment you made, prior to this embodiment? Go within and, one with God, recall your true reason for being!
