One has to be very careful what is said about the source of all things because if the seeker of light is not yet ready to see the truth that stands in front of them, there will be one of three responses.

The first response is nothing, simply because they cannot see the light yet. The second response usually comes when the light of the first party touches the ego of the second party and the response is then often the projection of anger and blind judgement upon the first party.

The third response is when the heart of the seeker opens and they drink in the light that is offered, unspoken by the first party. The Light then touches them in the heart with absolute knowing of the truth of the moment. However, there can even be a further response at this point. That is when the mind suddenly kicks in and tries to rationalise the feelings of truth in the heart.

When the mind begins its journey of rationalisation, that is when the confusion enters your life and the mind energy is so strong that it soon drowns the truth that your heart is trying to show you. Very soon, you lose the feelings in the heart altogether and you allow the ship to sail out of your life until the Universe next considers you are ready to try again.

That is the nature of how the Universe tries to awaken each of us. In the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas he says:

I stood boldly in the midst of the world
and I manifested to them in the flesh.
I found them all drunk.
I found none among them athirst,
And my soul was afflicted for the sons of men
Because they are blind in their heart
And they do not see
That empty they came into the world
And that empty they seek to go out of the world again,
except that now they are drunk.
When they shake off their wine,
Then they will transform their Knowing.

Those who know me, know that I am not religious in any sense of the word, and neither was Jesus. He was a teacher who tried to show the world the way that he had found to inner illumination, and here we are two thousand years later and most people on the planet are still in that drunken blindness.

Let me try and explain this teaching above.

I stood boldly in the midst of the world
and I manifested to them in the flesh.

When Jesus speaks of manifesting into the world, this is actually the God-consciousness speaking through him, telling us that; ‘I’ – the God-consciousness – manifested into this world through the flesh of an ordinary man that I chose to bring forth the teachings of how to become ‘me’ – the God-consciousness itself. So, Jesus is a chosen one, chosen to bring forth the teachings.

I found them all drunk.
I found none among them athirst,
And my soul was afflicted for the sons of men
Because they are blind in their heart

Jesus, who is now fully illuminated with the God-consciousness is riddled with the pain of humanity for they cannot see anything for the blindness in their hearts. No heart is thirsty for the light of truth. No one has the courage to look at what stands before them.

Empty they came into the world, and empty ‘the seek’ to go out of it again.

This means that people have learned nothing at all of any true value through life. They seek to go out again totally unevolved; a completely wasted life.

except that now they are drunk.

But now they are actually really drunk on the emotional pleasures of mankind and become even more blind than when they were born into this world.

When they shake off their wine,
Then they will transform their Knowing.

This means that when they cleanse their hearts of guilt, they will transform their inner being and the light at the core of their heart will begin to shine forth. Then they will begin to See and Know the Truth of Universal Consciousness.

Now then, I didn’t set off to write these words this morning, but clearly that is the message that I was chosen to bring. Therefore, somebody out there must be ready to see the message and perhaps take another step toward allowing their heart to drink in a bit more light.

With my deepest Love and Blessings.

David.
