In search of myself

The Christ within

To all who read this, I speak.

This message is to you, who, through long years and much running to and fro, have been eagerly seeking, in books and teachings, in philosophy and religion, because you were in search for Truth, Happiness, Freedom and God.

To you who’s Soul is weary and discouraged and almost destitute in hope;

To you, who many times has obtained a glimpse of that "Truth" only to find, when you followed and tried to reach it, it disappeared again into the beyond, and now resides in your memory like a mirage.

To you, who thought you had found the truth in some great teacher, who was perhaps the acknowledged head of some Society, Fraternity or Religion, and who appeared to you to be the one who’s apparent wisdom was so marvelously taught, only to awaken later to the realization that that he was but a human personality, with the same faults, weaknesses, and impurities, of those to whom he spoke, even though that personality may have been a channel that revealed many beautiful teachings, which seemed to reveal the highest truth.

Now know you are a Soul, one with Spirit. You may be weary and hungry, and not knowing where to turn. But there is hope, as long as you persist in your search for truth and inner joy.

The answer will come to you from within your own Self, from your Soul, the Christ within, but you must learn to listen to its still voice and follow its prompting. It will reveal itself to you as intuition, as well as conscience.  

In preparation, you need to still your mind. You also need to ask yourself, who or what am I. Am I this body, am I this mind or do I have a body and a mind? And what is this I, which speaks with such seeming knowledge and authority.

It is that inner essence of you who is and knows; who knows all things, always knew, and always was.

It is your true Self; it is that part of you who says I am. I am, existence itself.

It is that transcendent, innermost part of you which awakens and which recognizes all Truth and discards all error wherever it is found.

It is your real teacher, the only real one you will ever really know, the only master, your divine Self.

This I, the I am of you, is your true guide. It is the true teacher because it is a part of God, Who is and always has been providing you not only with all your needs, but also all physical, mental and spiritual growth.

In the past what may have primarily appealed to you, was coming from some outward stimuli and manifested in objects of your choosing. These objects were ego based, I want this, I want that. Without knowing, this same process placed you into bondage of your own making, from which you now must free yourself. 

The I AM of you is not your human mind, it is the Divine in you.

Weigh and study these words carefully.

Rise up and free yourself from all impure teachings which dominated your personality. From now on, your mind and intellect must become the servant to your Soul.

If you are strong and want to maintain this path you need to examine and put aside many of your personal beliefs and opinions, which you have gathered from what can be spoken of as the dumping grounds of society.

If you cast it all away, then this message will be to you a source of endless Joy and Blessing.

Yet be prepared to have to have periods of doubts concerning these teachings, if they are new to you. For your ego will be threatened, as it knows that it cannot live and thrive and no longer dominate your thinking, your feelings, your going and coming, as it did in the past.

This message will speak to your heart and make you conscious of its presence.

I always spoke to you, but you may not have always listened to it.

Your essence has purposely led you through the wilderness of books and teaching, of religions and philosophies, keeping ever before your Soul's eye the vision and promise of soul freedom which it could not provide, in order that you might remember you freedom in God’s Spirit.

Now the time has come for you consciously know the Self that you really are. For the start, you must learn to be still. As the scriptures teach, “Be still and know that I am God”.

It is in total stillness, that you will realize your true Self and eventually the presence of God.

You will recognize the presence of God as an expression of great inner peace and joy that no word can describe. Once you have tasted this presence you will always want to be in it. This peace will weaken your desires for sense gratification, since they cannot be compared to the joy of God. God is the only power that exists and at the same time it is love, peace, joy, righteousness and more.

Above all, it cannot be mentioned often enough, that God is within you.

Many people have given up on organized religion as a result of unpleasant experience. But those who have written in the scriptures have had personal experiences, (see below) experiences, which you can have also as long as you keep your heart open.

Isaiah 41:10

    Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Corinthians 3:16

    Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

John 14:16-17

    And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

Psalm 23:4

    Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Put you trust not in man, but in the God within, whom you can experience and the God without Who rules all of His creation of which you are a part. Creation is of Spirit and Matter. Matter, energy is nothing but Spirit in expression.

Put your trust in God, for all your needs, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. God is imminent in all and let God manifest through you His will. Trust and all things will be given unto you.

When you turn to God, you will always find Him, as He is just a thought away. He is your own consciousness. You only need to be still and allow Him to express. Not mine, but Thy will be done.

This Knowledge, this Realization, will not come at once. It may not come for years, yet it may come at any moment. It depends upon no one, but on your readiness.

Not upon your personality, with its human desires and human understanding, but upon the “I AM of you, the God within”.
