 As you read you will perceive that it is only to a true disciple or one who has found Him, is conscious of Him abiding in the heart and is waiting upon and serving Him there, that He speaks. And while all that is said applies in a way to those who do not yet know Him within, and to them He seems to talk as from above and without, even they will get a glimpse of a very great truth. Hear now His word. As you read you will perceive that it is only to a true disciple or one who has found Him, is conscious of Him abiding in the heart and is waiting upon and serving Him there, that He speaks.

-You, My child, have learned from the teachings given you through The //"Impersonal Life"// that “you” are a soul or ego which through many long ages I have finally brought to that stage of consciousness where I can abide in and work from you—that is, in and from your soul consciousness or your soul body. For where you are in consciousness you find yourself in a body peculiar to and of the nature of that consciousness, and in which you live and work. You have learned to love, or more strictly speaking, to let Me love through you and thereby to use you and to work through you. This has lifted you as a soul consciousness to where I, as Love, can dwell in you.+You, My child, have learned from the teachings given you through //"The Impersonal Life"// that “you” are a soul or ego which through many long ages I have finally brought to that stage of consciousness where I can abide in and work from you—that is, in and from your soul consciousness or your soul body.

 Remember, I am a Son of God who descended from the Celestial Realms of My Father’s Consciousness to redeem “you,” who as a soul are the sum-total of My mistakes of a former world period. During these long ages I have caused you to take on many bodies of flesh, that is, to descend in generation in order that you, as a composite center of My sins given birth out of a consciousness of generation, might be taught the lessons which would permit of My Love awakening you and of its being recognized by you and which would lift you, My thus re-born consciousness, back through regeneration into My now God Consciousness, redeeming you and bringing you up into consciousness with Me and eventually with Our Father God. Remember, I am a Son of God who descended from the Celestial Realms of My Father’s Consciousness to redeem “you,” who as a soul are the sum-total of My mistakes of a former world period.

 The Apostle Paul tells you that Christ Jesus was the “first fruit of them that are asleep.” When I tell you that in the beginning We all descended to earth together under Christ’s leadership, He, our Elder Brother, being the Representative of the Father, to Whom We dedicated Ourselves to follow and serve, you will get a glimpse of what is the real Christ Consciousness and how We are truly One in Christ and are guided wholly from There; for the Christ Consciousness is Our Father-God’s Holy Spirit, the Light of His Divine Love pushing through and shining in the darkness of earth wherever We are. The Apostle Paul tells you that Christ Jesus was the “first fruit of them that are asleep.” When I tell you that in the beginning We all descended to earth together under Christ’s leadership, He, our Elder Brother, being the Representative of the Father, to Whom We dedicated Ourselves to follow and serve, you will get a glimpse of what is the real Christ Consciousness and how We are truly One in Christ and are guided wholly from There; for the Christ Consciousness is Our Father-God’s Holy Spirit, the Light of His Divine Love pushing through and shining in the darkness of earth wherever We are.
  
-In that descent to earth, it was not actually a descent into mortality, but only far enough into the inner realms surrounding the earth to permit the overshadowing the souls We had evolved into human beings and for which We are responsible.+In that descent to earth, it was not actually a descent into mortality, but only far enough into the inner realms surrounding the earth to permit Our overshadowing the souls We had evolved into human beings and for which We are responsible.
  
-The soul known as Jesus of Nazareth naturally was the first human soul to be awakened by His Higher Self, the Christ, into the full consciousness of His Divinity, or into conscious oneness with His Father-in-Heaven—in His Christhood. Thereupon, humanity now being ripe for it, He assumed His true position as the Light of the world from that time—after His Resurrection and its proof of His God Nature, and He became the Great Leader, the Way Shower, the Example for all humanity, even as He was for Us in Spirit, His life and His teachings showing clearly the way for all who were willing and ready to follow Him.+The soul known as Jesus of Nazareth naturally was the first human soul to be awakened by His Higher Self, the Christ, into the full consciousness of His Divinity, or into conscious oneness with His Father-in-Heaven—in His Christhood.

 Remember that We are all Sons of God, are Reflectors of Him, but that very few of Us as yet have been able to reflect God fully in and through our human instruments, your personalities; but eventually through the power of Christ, the Spirit of God, Whose Light shines in the darkness of all upon earth, We shall lift up not only you, Our human reflections, but the consciousness of the earth itself and all partaking of its nature, into oneness with Our Father-God’s consciousness. Remember that We are all Sons of God, are Reflectors of Him, but that very few of Us as yet have been able to reflect God fully in and through our human instruments, your personalities; but eventually through the power of Christ, the Spirit of God, Whose Light shines in the darkness of all upon earth, We shall lift up not only you, Our human reflections, but the consciousness of the earth itself and all partaking of its nature, into oneness with Our Father-God’s consciousness.
Line 71: Line 72:
 But as for you, Our dear ones, who have found and know Us within as that Love in your hearts, We have told you of these high truths in order that you may know your identity with Us, may establish yourselves in that knowing, so that you will begin to think, speak and act from Our Consciousness. But as for you, Our dear ones, who have found and know Us within as that Love in your hearts, We have told you of these high truths in order that you may know your identity with Us, may establish yourselves in that knowing, so that you will begin to think, speak and act from Our Consciousness.
  
-That is the goal We have set for you and which We are leading you to, as fast as We are able to prove to your human minds the unreality of its Wall of Self. Divine Union awaits which all the glories of which We have given you a glimpse, and We urge that from now on you carry about with you the consciousness of your identity as a Son of God, that within you is all knowledge, all truth and that as you try to think, speak and act always in such consciousness, as surely as you faithfully do this. We will establish you in that consciousness, for We will cause gradually to disappear all sense of separation, and you will forget the Wall of Self, so that the union will be complete.  +That is the goal We have set for you and which We are leading you to, as fast as We are able to prove to your human minds the unreality of its Wall of Self.
