BY NOW ye should know that I AM not a Master nor the Jesus who from some realm in Spirit has given forth, through human channels, messages that are said to come from Me.

For am I not the Christ, the Holy Spirit of God in every man? Hence I could not be in one man, be he Master or the Jesus of Nazareth that ye know. For that Jesus was but a symbol or thought-picture of Me, sent forth into the world of men’s consciousness to show them the Image and Likeness of My Father that dwells in every man, and which, when every man grows to his fruitage, he also will outpicture in his life as I showed it to the world in My life as the Man of Nazareth.

Even as no man on earth could be God, as God is the life, consciousness and nature of every man on earth, so could no one man on earth or in Heaven be Jesus the Christ; for I, that Jesus, Am the Light which lighteth every man and every Master in Heaven and on earth.

But do not mistake, I being that Light, every message that comes from out a pure heart of Love, carrying in it a blessing, comes from Me. For as that Light, I AM the Light of God’s Love that dwells in every heart that has opened to receive Me.

Any message that is not filled with a Love that can be felt by all who are open to Love is not from Me, and such message is but from a human mind. Be not deceived—because My Name is attached to a message or is claimed to be from Jesus, does not make it My Message. For remember, I Who AM within thee, will always call thy attention to any message from without that I intend for thee. Unless thou feelest within thee My loving confirmation of any message thou receivest from without, no matter what the authority claimed for it, it is not My Message for thee—nor could it come from a Source akin to Me.

Canst thou not see that being the Holy Spirit—the very life in every man, I could not be a man, but I must be the Reality—God’s Self—in every man?

As I have shown, God is Pure Consciousness—is the One Consciousness; therefore is the consciousness of every man. In order to express His Idea of Himself and to impress its powerfully in humanity’s consciousness, God, My Father, sent Me forth into the world of men’s consciousness—His perfect Thought of Himself, which appeared to men’s eyes as Jesus of Nazareth. He caused that Thought, empowered by His Holy Spirit, to voice His Truths and to outpicture the perfect life that He planned all men to follow and live, thereby showing the only way of return out of the darkness of separation into the Light of His Consciousness.

I, in Jesus of Nazareth, appeared as a man—a perfect man, even as I in thee appear as a man, but not yet a perfect man. For remember, I AM in thee equally as I was in Jesus; but I have not yet grown thee to thy maturity, as I did Him.

But what the world saw in Him was not I, the Christ, the Holy Spirit of God; no more than the world can see Me in thee. Jesus of Nazareth was but an appearance, even as thou art an appearance—a manifestation, of Me. Jesus was a perfect manifestation of Me, in that I was able to outpicture in Him the perfect Image and Likeness of My Father. In thee at this stage of thy growth, I Am able to outpicture but an imperfect manifestation of Me.

Hence thou canst see that Jesus was but God’s perfect Thought of Me, even as thou and other men are God’s thoughts which as they push forth out of the darkness of their minds in time will perfectly express Me. But being thoughts, and having once manifested in the outer in physical form, and that form having died and disintegrated, they can no more return in that same physical form—they then as thoughts remain and live in the thought world as they appeared when in physical manifestation.

This explains how, when men have visions of Jesus and He comes to them and speaks to, heals or blesses them, they but see God’s Thought of Me; and because I, in them, in order to prepare them to know more of Me, thus caused My Love to be felt by them, this feeling immediately drew to them God’s Thought of Me, through which I could then give to them the message or the healing or blessing I intended for them.

But ye ask about Jesus’ words telling of the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and His sending His angels with a great sound of a trumpet to gather together His elect from the four winds of heaven; and about Paul’s words of His coming, when the dead in Christ shall arise and, with those who are alive and remain, shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and to remain ever afterwards with the Lord; also the promise of the angels that the same Jesus, which was taken up into heaven shall so come in like manner as He was seen to go into heaven. Ye wonder, if Jesus is but God’s Thought of Me and it exists only in the thought world, how can He come as the Lord in the way described?

Always remember, beloved, that so far as ye are concerned, I as the Lord Christ, the Light within thee, thy Divine Self, a Son of God, exist for thee in the heaven of thy consciousness, and nowhere outside of thee, other than as the Divine Self in the consciousness of other men, which is God’s Consciousness—the One Consciousness, and is therefore also thy consciousness.

Hence all that thou ever seest is in thy consciousness, and every thought of Me causes a familiar picture of Me to appear in thy mind. But that is only thy mind’s concept of God’s Thought of Me.

Who am I? I AM the Christ. But when I come to thee as the Son of Man, I will appear in the clouds, the heavenly part of thy consciousness, with power and great glory, as I will likewise appear in that part of the consciousness of every man I have grown ready to acknowledge and truly know Me. And in that glory My angels will minister unto them, and all such, when they have learned to abide in Me and My Word can abide in them, will be with Me ever afterward.

As for My coming in like manner as Jesus was seen to ascend by His disciples, even as He then said to them, do I now say to all My disciples, “Ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be My witnesses even unto the uttermost parts of the earth.” Ye shall witness My descent or coming forth from the heaven of thy consciousness and the taking charge of thy life. For I have grown and prepared thee for that; and when the time comes, as set by My Father of His own authority, ye shall know Me as I AM, and I shall be in thee, and ye in Me, and we shall be One in His Love.
