Listen to Jesus Audio Blog for Saturday 13th
Here, removed from the illusion as we are, we can see that humanity is most definitely moving forwards towards wakefulness, and that that movement towards will not be arrested. Too many insane events and disclosures are now occurring to allow the nightmare to remain seemingly real. When a dream becomes too intense or too seemingly real the sleeper wakens and dissolves the dream as he rubs his eyes and returns to Reality. That is happening right now. Just continue to hold your intent to wake up from the illusion, intend to be loving at all times, and to constantly hold the Light that you bear on high.
It is humanity’s collective intent that supports and maintains the illusion or that causes it to collapse and crumble. That latter intent has been chosen, is strengthening and intensifying, and its effects are now becoming apparent. Signs of its dissolution are everywhere, and the attempts to shore it up by those who would maintain the status quo are proving utterly ineffective. Its foundations are disintegrating and are beyond repair, and you all know that, so do not allow yourselves to be drawn back down into the doom and gloom scenario of the illusion by the disturbing news that is reported by the mainstream media, and which is intended to keep you in a state of fear. Instead focus on Love.
Love surrounds you in every moment waiting most patiently for you to open your hearts to It. That is to fully open your hearts, unconditionally. It is not helpful to think to yourselves, and many do, that when others – loved ones, friends, relatives, church leaders, politicians, etc. – become more respectful, more trustworthy, more open, more loving, then so will you. It does not work like that! The only person who can open your heart is you, and waiting for someone else to open theirs first just delays the whole process.
By opening your hearts very consciously, and by confirming your intent to do so frequently throughout the day, you make it happen. You need to keep reminding yourselves to be loving, regardless of what is going on around you. When you do the energy field of Love in which you were created, and in whose embrace you are always firmly held, brightens and intensifies, when you forget it dims.
To forget and get on with your life “normally,” defenses at the ready for any snub, offense, or attack that may arise, puts a dark and heavy veil over the bright divine Light that burns constantly within you, hiding it from general view, and encouraging others to keep their own defenses at the ready, thus also veiling the Light of their own inextinguishable fields of Love.
On the other hand, when you dismantle those defenses and offer Love at all times to the others with whom you interact, they will be strongly encouraged to dismantle their own defenses. At first it seems to be a very local thing – loving people getting together, letting down their defenses, and creating a safe and loving haven in which harmonious interactions occur spontaneously. Then through constancy and persistence the courage that you share intensifies and you become willing to remove your personal defenses in ever more unfamiliar circumstances and situations. Very rapidly you will become aware of the fact you have no need of defenses, you will demolish them, and that is how you, each and every one of you, changes the world!
It is truly amazing how many on Earth at this moment are already demolishing those defenses which it seems have served you so well over the eons. But, in truth, they have merely enabled your sense of separation, of aloneness, even of abandonment to persist, thus confirming your fears and your belief that you need defenses for protection from the dangers with which it seems you are constantly threatened.
This demolishment of defenses, this willingness to be seen and counted, being demonstrated by whistle-blowers and those prepared to publish them, is having an unprecedented affect all over the world. The dirty secrets that those who would control you have hidden from you for so long can no longer be contained, their deceits and dishonesties are betraying them, they no longer have anywhere to hide – The Truth Will Out!
You most certainly know this because the Truth cannot remainpermanently hidden, it can only be denied until disclosure occurs. You know that the way forwards, the way home to Reality is along the path that the brilliant Light you are each bearing, which is firmly and eternally established at the center of your being, shines ahead of you lighting yourway unmistakably. You cannot get lost, although you canchoose to dally, dawdle, or apparently lose your way by letting go of your intent to be loving in every moment.
Being loving holds the dark veil clear of your inextinguishable Light so that you can see your path. When you take a break from holding your loving intent the veil falls across your Light, and the path ahead becomes dark and obscured, it may even appear dangerous. When you experience this situation it means that you have forgotten to be loving in some way – maybe a judgment, a resentment, a jealousy, or an anger has occupied your mind, and the veil has fallen over your Light, dimming it temporarily – just release whatever was blocking your loving intent, and the way will once again become clear.
Truly, your way home is always brilliantly lighted. When it seems that it is not, look within and see what you are holding on to that is not in alignment with Love. When you are in alignment you will feel at peace, anxiety will fall away, and you will deal most satisfactorily with any issues that arise. You have done it before, so, if necessary, call to mind issues that you have dealt with satisfactorily and successfully in the past, and remember the state of mind you used to engage with them and resolve them. You will find that acceptance was one of those states, and that that led to an awareness that the situation could be resolved, whereupon peace and resolution followed.
Love surrounds you in every moment, and if you will open to It fully you will feel Its embrace warming and comforting you. Opening to It is to release that within you that is distracting you and dragging you back down into the illusion, anything that is out of alignment and cannot harmonize with It – I don’t think I need to spell that out again!
So think of something you truly love – a person, a place, an experience – and recall it as vividly as possible as you sit quietly within your holy inner sanctuary, and allow it to dissolve all that is disturbing or upsetting you. To do just that is all you need do to re-establish inner peace. By sitting quietly with that intent you are also calling on us for help, and we always respond instantly because we are always waiting for your call. There is no separation, we are all One, and that is how we always know when you call on us. And when you awaken, as is inevitable, you will be overwhelmed with the sense of Oneness that embraces you.
Your loving brother, Jesus.

Part-1...
The ego’s an innate aspect of our consciousness that can be used for benevolence or malevolence. Most people who hear the word ‘ego’ associate it with someone who’s full of themselves; who brags about their accomplishments or acts like they’re better than the people around them.
The ego’s usually associated with people who are so confident in themselves that they tend to be overbearing, but there’s much more to it and its mechanisms than simple self-centeredness. As strange as it might sound, the ego’s actually necessary for us to survive and function in the lower realms, and it can only fill us with selfishness if we let it.
I think the mind can be used for good when the ego’s overbearing influence is transcended, and here, I’d like to examine what some of our spiritual teachers have said about it.
I’ve probably done a report on the ego before, but I wanted to talk about it again because I’m fascinated with the idea of transcending it and using the mind for positive purposes.
As you can probably imagine, our teachers encourage us to transcend the ego and its constant wants and desires, and I agree that we’ll have to transcend it if we want to feel, anchor or express spirit with any degree of purity.
One we transcend its influence, we can work with it to produce helpful works that benefit others. We can express unhindered spirituality from right here on earth (as opposed to striving to evolve into a higher realm to feel it), but only when the ego’s transcended will we express it properly.
Sadhu Arunachala describes his experience of ego death, which came in the form of an intense fear he started to feel after meditating for months.
“After I had been meditating in the presence of Bhagavan [Sri Ramana Maharshi] for some months, I reached a certain stage when I would be overcome by fear. … [Bhagavan] explained that it was the ego that experienced the fear as it felt that it was gradually losing its grip.
“It was, in fact, dying, and naturally resented it. He asked me, ‘To whom is the fear? It is all due to the habit of identifying the body with the Self. Repeated experience of separation from this idea will make one familiar with this state and fear will then automatically cease.’” (1)
Paul Ferrini tells us that the ego puts all of its effort into sustaining what’s already known.
“Your ego is terrified of the unknown. No matter how terrible the known past is, the ego prefers it to the unknown present.
“All of its energy goes into trying to make the present into the past. It thinks that this creates safety, but in truth it creates continued terror, a constant aggravation of the wound until the pain is so intense that it must be dealt with. You see, everything, even your ego, conspires toward your awakening!
“So living the past over and over again creates the ultimate terror. Outwardly, life seems safe and predictable. Inwardly, the dynamite has been lit.” (2)
The more we ty to live in the past by sustaining an experience we remember or understand, the more we trap ourselves in the ego’s confines.
Some of you who are on the path of spiritual evolution might notice that you’re sometimes tempted by the desire to fall back into old habitual patterns and ways of living/being that no longer serve you, and this could very well be because the ego’s striving to maintain its grip.
The ego will start to feel like its dying as we continuously fade into our sacred center. It’ll fight, fight and fight some more to postpone its inevitable transcendence, and it’s our duty to stay as centered and materialistically unfocused as we can in an effort to constantly embrace spirit.
If we can embrace spirit, the ego will have less and less control over our ability to think and discern. Let’s feed spirit as much as we can and go out of our way to deny the wants and demands of the ego, which fights to save its own life and influence over our consciousness and the decisions we make.
Adyashanti affirms what Paul told us about the ego’s need to sustain itself.
“The psychological self seeks to continue, to survive. Simultaneously there is a compelling, driving urge to break free of this self.
“However, to break free brings the end of time. When it happens, past and future will be over for you. Questions and answers will cease, and there will be nothing. Out of that nothing, something fresh will flower. You will have to become that flower.” (3)
Paramahansa Ramakrishna advises that to see ourselves as finite humans, and not as Source, is to limit ourselves and feed spiritual ignorance.
“‘I’ and ‘mine’ — these constitute ignorance. ‘My house,’ ‘my wealth’, ‘my learning’, ‘my possessions’ — the attitude which prompts one to say such things comes of ignorance. (4)
We’re much more than the meat suits we embody here on earth, and we can’t take our material possession with us into the higher realms. We can’t even take our physical bodies with us on our journey back to Source.
All we can take with us is our consciousness as it’ll exist when we’re ready to leave this sphere, so we’ll want to make sure we cultivate a wholesome life for ourselves in the realms beyond by living as much in love and centeredness as we can on earth.
It’s easy to fill our heads and hearts with material possessions and concerns, but we’ll make life much harder for ourselves when we’re back in the higher (or lower) realms if we do.
Where we go when the physical body perishes depends entirely on the choices we make in life, and if we make choices that are in alignment with our spiritual paths, I’m sure we’ll experience pure bliss when we’re back in the higher realms.
We’ll experience exactly what we create for ourselves, and if we create love and joy here on earth, that’s exactly what we’ll experience.

Part-2....
Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness
Continued from Part 1
As Ramakrishna also tells us, the ‘I’ we’re familiar with isn’t intended to be our physical selves, but Source him/herself.
“By discriminating you will realize that what you call ‘I’ is really nothing but Atman. Reason it out. Are you the body or the flesh or something else?
“At the end you will know that you are none of these. You are free from attributes. Then you will realize that you have never been the doer of any action, that you have been free from virtue and faults alike, that you are beyond righteousness and unrighteousness.” (1)
As long as we empower the ego, he tells us, we’ll continue to live in the illusion of polarity.
“[Virtue and vice] both exist and do not exist.
“If God keeps the ego in a man, then He keeps in him the sense of differentiation and also the sense of virtue and sin. But in a rare few He completely effaces the ego, and these go beyond virtue and sin, good and bad. As long as a man has not realized God, he retains the sense of differentiation and the knowledge of good and bad.” (2)
The idea that only a select few people can find enlightenment seems a bit outdated, and I can only say this because of the opinions of the readers who commented on one of my recent articles about the concept of enlightenment only being attainable to the few seekers who are diligent enough to completely transcend the ego.
Even though inner work is still an absolute requirement, I think the portal has widened since Ramakrishna’s days and more seekers can now find enlightenment.
I suppose this perspective is partially influenced by modern day ascension beliefs; by the idea that all of humanity’s experiencing a gradual yet direct physical/spiritual evolution. The feeling I (and plenty of others) get is that enlightenment’s now widely available as long as we can do the inner work that’s always been (and always will be) necessary.
The ego, Ramakrishna tells us, “is like a stick that seems to divide the water in two. It makes you feel that you are one and I am another.” (3)
Spiritual ignorance, he advises, “lasts as long as one has ego. There can be no liberation as long as the ego remains. ‘O God, Thou art the Doer and not I’ — that is knowledge.” (4)
He expands on one of his quotes from earlier.
“’My house,’ ‘my wealth’, ‘my learning’, ‘my possessions’ — the attitude which prompts one to say such things comes of ignorance. On the contrary, the attitude born of Knowledge is: ‘O God, Thou art the Master, and all these things belong to Thee. House, family, children, attendants, friends are Thine.” (5)
Becoming a conduit for Source’s energy and inspiration is worth our time and effort. When we can recognize that our finite physical selves are only capable of achieving things that resonate with our surface perception, we can open up, break the barrier and do things we never expected to do.
Source works through us to the extent that we’re willing and able to open up, and our creativity will flow (along with our general spirituality) when we allow Source to express his/her omnipotent love and intelligence through us. We’ll no longer stress or worry about how other seekers see our work, because we’ll know we didn’t create it by ourselves – we received divine assistance.
According to Krishnamurti, “It is the mind with its demands and fears, its attachments and denials, its determinations and urges, that destroys love.” (6)
He tells us how religious and political ‘propaganda’ have shaped the way we think.
“The experience of pleasure and pain is direct, individual; but the understanding of the experience is after the pattern of others, of the religious and social authorities. We are the result of the thoughts and influences of others; we are conditioned by religious as well as political propaganda.” (7)
Hazrat Inayat Khan affirms that seeing ourselves through an ego-driven lens causes a lot of unnecessary misery.
“A person who likes to say twenty times in the day, ‘I’, does not like to say, ‘I am not, Thou art’. But he does not know that this claim of ‘I’ is the root of all his trouble. It is this claim that makes him feel hurt by every little insult, by every little disturbance.
“The amount of pain that this illusion gives him is so great that it is just as well he got rid of it. But that is the last thing he would do. He would give up his last penny, but not the thought of ‘I’. … That is the whole difficulty and the only hindrance on the spiritual path.” (8)
According to Sri Krishna, ‘cutting free from desire’ will liberate us and show us the way to the heart.
“Self-controlled, Cut free from desire, Curbing the heart And knowing the Atman, Man finds Nirvana That is in Brahman, Here and hereafter.” (9)
The Buddha tells us that “The world does not know that we must all come to an end here; but those who know it, their quarrels cease at once.” (10)
Everything in existence has a purpose, the Buddha shares, and living in love is the best thing we can do with this existence.
“All things that exist are not without cause. However, neither Ishvara, nor the absolute, nor the self, nor causeless chance, is the maker, but our deeds produce results both good and evil.
“The whole world is under the law of causation, and the causes that act are not un-mental, for the gold of which the cup is made is gold throughout. … Let us surrender self and all selfishness, and as all things are fixed by causation, let us practise good so that good may result from our actions.” (11)
When we can live purely and unflinchingly in the heart, the karma we manifest will uplift us and those around us who’d benefit from our love and positivity. The afterlife we create for ourselves will be much more blissful, because we’ll have made a real and solid effort to make it pleasant for ourselves with our continuously loving actions on earth.
Sometimes, I want to shout from a mountaintop that love is the most important and powerful force in existence, second only to Source him/herself.
Love will help us see our way through the confusing earthly maze we have to try our best to navigate, and with love in our hearts and the willingness in our minds to consistently transcend the ego, we’ll align our thoughts, feelings and actions with a higher power.
