Welcome dear friends, I know that you are waiting to hear more about how you can and will heal your own life. However before we begin I must say a few words about religion that I hope you can understand.
Though this message is to help you grow through the wisdom of a man named Jesus, I am not that which you think I am. Your own interpretation of me is all that matters.
If you seek to find me, you will do so in your own hearts and not in the books of your religions. Though these words will help you to understand the power of a man, they do not symbolise the power of you. I did not guide religion, but my own life, and this is all I choose to speak to you about today.
I am not that which you think I am.
I am a being of greatness, but only because I follow a particular consciousness, that is available to you too - be peaceful with yourself. It is unfortunate that your religions have termed me in other ways, saying that I present an image of God that defies love (is fear-based in it's depictions of God's Will and the motions of Hell), an image that punishes and says that I too was punished. But you must see now that I am not religious, I am a being who chose to walk a particular pathway, and chose to end my life in a particular way. This made waves, for sure! But I am not here to tell you all that you must be crucified if you are to hear the word of God. Rather that in your own hearts you already know the truth of your life and do not need me to tell you this at all.
If only you could see your hearts.
I do not speak here of the need to challenge religion for I do not deny their right to speak and guide as they see fit. I offer my image to them in order to help others find their own pathway to compassion.
Yet what do you feel of this religious message of God? What do you see of your own self-Will in it? Are you sure that you are so unworthy of life if you do not follow particular rules? Would you be happy if you did so?
Many people follow religion for it brings them grace. Many people find structure and ordinance in their ability to define their worlds based on scripture and teachings. Yet, do you guide your own life, or are you allowing others to guide and lead for you? Even if you reject religion you are abiding some part of it. For you cannot reject anything that does not exist for you.
I seek to offer you an alternative today - honour thyself. This is a difficult one for many... how do you find yourself without anyone to guide you? This is why you, your world, chooses religion. You need guidance, but do they teach you how to get back to your own heart and live from there, or from the space that they tell you to live from? Is your heart free to express itself? Or do you need to express particular things? Are all Hearts the same, or are they part of One that symbolises freedom and self-will?
These questions I offer you as a part of your own healing journey - the journey to find yourself... I do see clearly just what so many of you need and this is - love, pure self-love. Not the arrogance that you carry or the need, but simple appreciation that you are here in this lifetime, doing what you do, simply because you can.
Your friend,
Jesus, Soul-Man
