Oh Lord, Creator, Love, we beseech Thee, that we may be guided, may be used to express Thy glory in this realm, in this plane, that we may indeed be the light that leads to the redemption of the world and the return of the Prince of Love and Peace. And we ask this in His name.

The Light has been given. The love has been spread about. Souls have been fed. Creation has occurred. But where is mankind? Though you stumble in the dark, though you miss the path, the Lord of Righteousness, the Lord of Love, God the Merciful, is patient and understanding. Then seize the Light, walk in the Way, follow that which you have been given, and live that which you have been given. For to do otherwise is being as the one that would betray, the one that would leave the fold, the one that would lose self in the dark.
John 13:1-5
Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
S Jesus, the man, Jesus who is the mind of creation, created Himself as man, to face those very crises that come to man. This was His answer to that which came to Him, forewarned, full knowledge of that which must be done in facing that which man considers the utmost, the pinnacle, or that which is the most destructive point to the strength and courage of mankind – the personal, physical, ego- destroying act. Man (as man is) is tempted to shy away from that which must come by pushing it aside, covering it up, giving it not the recognition or understanding. And yet, it is the conclusion of a cycle, a learning, as one opens a book unwritten upon at birth. So that which He faced was the closing of the book, well written upon. Each life, each turn in that which is the earth plane is a new book to be written and to be closed by each individual. Even as yourselves face that which are the crises of life and the most formidable being that which is the understanding of facing that which is the passing over, there are many physical and mental conditions that must be met, but this is that which tends to be the most traumatic for all individuals. He, Jesus was showing you that in the face of that which is the most devastating thing that you would see to happen to you as an individual, you turn to that which is the serving of others. Two-fold things happened here as Jesus put aside that which was the mantle to bathe the feet of others. It was a physical, mental, and spiritual service to others, but it was also that which proved in Himself that others did come first, that there is a joy in service, that the only way to lose that which is the fear, the discord, the misapprehensions, is to forget yourself in that which is the service of God, to God, for God – in giving to others. Symptomatically, the entity, Jesus, was putting aside that which was the false covering, the pride, the ego, giving away that which is the selfishness, foregoing that which was the power that by rights was His, and accepting that which he came in to do, that He once again could become the mind that was creation.
John 13:6-11
Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, “Lord, dost thou wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said unto him, “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” Peter saith unto him, “Thou shalt never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.” Simon Peter saith unto him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.” Jesus saith to him, “He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.” For he knew who should betray him; therefore, said he, “Ye are not all clean.”
S The betrayer lies within, even though He, Jesus the Christ, was speaking to those about Him, He spoke to Himself. For even He lived as mankind and was tempted; even He knew the doubts, the misgivings, yes, the fear. And yet, in that which He knew to be true within His heart, He put those things aside, cleansed His thoughts, and in (by) doing so, cleansed that which were His past lives, offering Himself up as a sacrifice so that all would know again. For you must realize, Jesus being the Mind, the Creative Mind, had to overcome, for had He not overcome there could not be salvation. For, as given in times of old, all things were made by Him. This speaks of Jesus the Creative, Jesus as the Creative Mind, preparing and making that which is the thought. For as given before, God became when God moved, when the thought became a thought. So it is with creation. For the Mind of Creation, the Creative force, that kindled life, dimensions, and planes, is the work of the mind that became Jesus. He Who created, and in so creating led you in, must therefore be the one to lead out, but not until that time that He, too, had lived as you, that all would know both the light and the dark, so that there could be light, could be that which is the ultimate. Even as a stone is thrown in water and concentric circles are formed, so creation is. For as you accept that which is your position, realize your position, you, too, then become that which is a ring of creation, creating so that others may create. Then love may pour forth to find more love and be more love. Therefore, you must live as He, the Master of Life – giving, giving, giving, that you, too, may save, and create, and be the more.
Q Here we have been told that He, the Creative Mind, the Creative Force, that led us into this star system and fell, knew that He had to lead us out or there would be no salvation. After going through 114 star systems, returning then all the way back to God, what was different in this star system that caused Him to fall?
S You. All of you, all mankind, all His brothers and sisters that came forth here. A fall here is not a fall as you would see it into the depth of Hades, or the physical fall such as from the back of a horse. The fall, in reality, is going from high to the low. If you would but picture a waterfall, the water is the same at the top as it is at the bottom–rather different in shape but still the same physical, and in essence, spiritual qualities. In that which is the return (which is a better term than the fall) the entity then was assuming a different place, a different shape, physically and mentally. This in itself, though more than drastic, was more disgusting to the physical–or in taking the physical-mental as you have it, rather than being in that which is the spiritual-mental world and pure spiritual-thought world which that entity had ascended to.
Q What was accomplished by Jesus the Christ returning all the way back to God? Please explain.
S In His return to God all is accomplished; your salvation; the resurrection of the worlds as they should be; the expansion of the system forever through that which is the growth of the individual into that which is a god; the galaxies, the cosmos of God, expanding forever that which is the love and mercy of the Force that is the Creator. This is what was accomplished. Q Do you have then an expanding cosmos as far as God is concerned rather than, as some scientists would suggest, a pulsating universe?
S You can’t even term it as expanding as you would understand it expanding, or they would understand it expanding to be, because on all levels it is going in, out, furthering itself. For God is everywhere, everything, and all things. There is no void, only God. You cannot understand the spiritual nature of expanding, or that which is becoming more (you have no measurement on this plane), just as it is impossible to give to your physical-mental brains the experience of truth, the experience of light. [10-106]
Q Does the creative mind relate to a particular spiritual center or chakra?
S Not really, though it is most influenced by the thymus, and by the pineal body. To some extent, all play the role, but it is love and the lifting up of love that is the creative center or force. Many would have it as that which is as the solar plexus, or that which are the gonads, but this is not correct, and yet not incorrect, for all centers play a role. But those given as correct are the essential working forces of the creative.
Q Why did He say that it was necessary to wash only the feet?
S We have given before, the feet being the symbol of that which connects you to this earth, and the earth being that which is the lower element, the earth entity itself, being bound to a certain phase created ego, hold mankind (until perfected) and therefore, washing away that which is the clinging to the physical, the earth form, is then ridding yourself of the ego which is best described as physical ego, material ego, or even mind ego which is a force in itself that binds to “good old mother earth.” Though an entity, unspoiled and unspotted, its job is to hold you, feed you, and house you as long as it can keep the force upon you – like a magnet to steel, or that which is gravity is a better term, to keep that which are the physical forces or bodies to it. It is as a symbol, too, you see, of selfishness, self-centered urges, or longings such as the smother love, selfish love, these things. So then is the washing of the feet. Also, though, remember: in the day and age of Jesus the Christ in the earth, those who washed the feet of others were little better than slaves and considered lowest of low. In humbling self, Jesus was preparing those others to understand the ultimate humbling of self upon the cross. For even in their exalted position of being with the Master of Life, seeing the forces, hearing that which is the Word, they still clung to that belief that He would overcome all things by that power that could distort or change or re-create, even though they had that which is the understanding that it is the overcoming of the ego self, the earthbound self, not the forces, not the elements, not those things as judged and seen by man, but those things that hold the soul to this earth is important.
Q Who did Jesus mean when He said “that he who has bathed is all clean?”
S You may live as a pig, you may live in a hovel, in man’s eyes you are filthy. God does not see these things. If you bathe yourself in the light of God, in the love of the Christ, in the glory of the Holy Spirit, you are clean, regardless of the laws or understanding of mankind. You have heard “cleanliness is next to godliness” but it is cleanliness of the mind, the ways, the actions, and of the soul – not necessarily of the body.
John 13:12-20
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, “Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.”
S Choice, ever choice. Jesus was giving the opportunity even to those whom He had selected, to decide who and what He was, what He is and would be. And was preparing them to understand that which was to come, the ultimate sacrifice (which all must make), the overcoming (which all must make), and the resurrection (which all must make). Therefore, He gave them the understanding that as you dwell among and deal with mankind (including yourselves) that all then must face the trials and tribulations, the tearing of the fabric. For some will be with you, and some will come against you; some will love you and some will hate you; and you will learn that within yourself you will reflect these very things. And yet you must come to understand, those forces from without cannot overcome you. You have been taught for these many generations, lo these eons of time, that the animal forces of survival within you are primary. They are forces to preserve you, preserve you in this plane and are necessary, that they are the forces of life themselves at work. Ah, and to some extent it is true, for these are forces of life of this plane, of this earth, their survival within. And yet, were you to realize your position, you could walk away from this plane, soar away from this body, and become light. But it is ground into you, pounded into your awareness, and mind ever is the builder. There must come that which is the awakening of the truth, and once again, the truth will set you free. He is the truth. His way is the truth. And the truth of your being cries out, “Please!” that you awaken and set it free to be about its Father’s business. You are the swords that are in the forge. You have been heated and pounded upon life after life. Therefore, let not one life detain you, detour you, because of the physical ramifications in that you cannot release yourself from the physical body that is only a vehicle, only constructing block to be used at the proper time in the proper way. You are as children who cannot leave the clay or the playdough alone, who cannot part from the company of a teddy bear and the comfort of same, that cannot face the darkness. And yet, He has given, “Lo, I am with you unto the ends of the earth.” And if you would understand and believe in that which is the 23rd Psalm, He is the shepherd, and it matters not where you go. Even the valley of death has no fear. For the light of love and the shepherd’s crook abides with you. Awaken to the promises that have been given to you. You must believe, or not believe. There is no halfway mark. It is one or the other. And as you meet those things that manifest within your life, even as He met them, you will overcome or you will be overcome. It is your choice.
John 13:21-30
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.” Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.” And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, “That thou doest, do quickly.” Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, “Buy those things that we have need of against the feast” or, that he should give something to the poor. He then, having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
S Even to that moment, the man called Judah, or Judas, had the right and the ability to choose another course of action. And yet he chose to defile himself, because that which is selfishness of the mind, and the actions of the mental conditions were overcome by the ego. For all of these things, whether they be hate, fear, or those things you term of foolishness, waywardness, are matters of choosing. Sometimes they seem very hard not to choose for, and yet each small decision kept to in overcoming these conditions gives strength of purpose. For one does not change in a blink of an eye, though it is possible. But because of that, which is the background of these many lives and conditions, entities do not choose in that manner. Judas, though, was at that point of going either way, but chose the selfish way. For he allowed that which is the devil, the Satan of the mind, to choose by using that which is the intelligence to the wrong conclusions, allowing selfishness to be the guideline. Therefore, Judas did as he did. Had he not, a substitute would have been found. For it is ordained that certain things will occur – yet by whose hand is select by the individuals themselves.
John 13:31-38
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give unto you, ‘That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.’ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” Simon Peter said unto him, “Lord, whither goest thou?” Jesus answered him, “Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.” Peter said unto him, “Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.” Jesus answered him, “Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.”
S The great commandment as given by the Prince of Love is that ye should love one another. And yet your world has rejected same. For this would truly be, as you would term, a garden of Eden if mankind would take it to itself to follow that which is given here. But mankind is not Christkind. There will always be those who stumble and fall – even the well-intended. For there is a weakness within that which is the structure of mankind until they truly give of themselves in service to others. Peter, who denied Jesus the Christ thrice, became him who was so strong that death and dismemberment had no fear for him, and imitated that which was the going of Christ by giving love, smiles, and peace, even in his time of tribulation, even as he was crucified, giving his strength to the others that they might see even in that disgrace (as termed by mankind) that success depends upon service to others, the putting first of God’s way, and that the physical-mental man is nothing but a puppet to that which is the mind creative, the mind in focus. If you would be a Judas, then your mind would make the puppet dance to the tune of the material-mental world; if you would be a Peter you would overcome, and your puppet would dance to that which is the spiritual-mental man. You must understand yourselves, your weaknesses and your strengths, and you must believe. For in that which you are shortly to be given, you must understand that you must believe in He that came. For in that which we prepare for now, the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th is every promise, every fulfillment that God has given and prepared for you. For here is the cornerstone, the foundation, and the completion of that which are the covenants, the life of Jesus the Christ as man, as spirit. It is man from that which is the primitive to the angelic. It is God in action and God in love. If you will follow the teachings therein, you will change yourselves, your neighbors, and your world. In that which you will be instructed, will come the way to free yourselves totally, positively, forever, from that which is the toil, the tumult of being an ego, physical, material-centered being, and become a being of light, love, and true substance.
