Easter Message

nice you know it is it is Easter time and and Easter day and you know Easter like like Christmas in my opinion it holds deep very deep symbolism and I think most of us know that but I don't think people really understand the layers and levels of all of this you know I think human beings take tend to take things for granted and not understand things are it's not just Easter it's also Springtime but you know people all over the planet pagan people for example what they call pagans and so on uh Earth religions they celebrated

spring long before there was a Jesus who then we attached the idea of of crucifixion and all that to Easter time there there were already people celebrating Easter because it meant it's a it's a time of of Here Comes spring Here Comes meaning here comes your new life and then humans just tend to take things for granted we take people for granted but we take things for GR oh it's springtime G oh that's nice originally it's like woohoo now it's you know okay great and then we we we forget

spring and that it means something we go oh Easter and then we go oh we got to get baskets for the kids now pretty soon it's it's about stuff we have to go and get a basket I forgot to get a basket and one of those bizarre nuclear waste spongy rabbit things that people eat at at East you know I don't even know what what how those are made like like you that's anyway so so how did we get to that how did that it used to be a ritual of people coming together going life you know this is great Springtime life here we go New

Life to to these bizarre things but there's there's a lot of very deep experiences awaiting us all and human beings need to learn how to drop into a diff different level see Christmas is is about the birthing even in the darkest times of the year there's always life come on we can do it the birthing you know it's very deep Easter is about rebirth Easter's about not the the hope of a new life just just the hope of a new life it's the hope of a new life from the death of the old life in a way

even deeper than Christmas symbolism Christmas is like you know wow it's is that beautiful it's cute and lights and and it's about birth it's really beautiful and a baby you know it's really much more gentle the Easter one is about oh great if I had to choose holidays there's one where there's a little baby and a star over Bethlehem peace and goodwi to mankind you know it's all so gentle and beautiful Easter you know nail a guy to a cross you know that if I had to choose holidays we'd go Christmas right but

this is the one that's the bigger one the greater one in some respects because this is the one of the phoenix the it's said by many Mystics the deepest sign of the zodiac is Scorpio because Scorpio is the one where you go to the depths and then when you do your work at the and we all have Scorpio in us so it's not like the sign it's the Scorpio part of us it's the going into the depths what you do there will determine how high you go you know if you just stay in your little hot air balloon and wait for it to lift see how

high it goes when you've got all kinds of anchors holding you to the Earth so you can only Ascend as much as you are willing to Des send incend into yourself and start pulling up the anchors start cutting the ropes well I don't really want to do too much work so I'll just half chisel away or cut away one rope and there's let's say four I'll going to half cut all of them just where you going why half so die well you know that old saying die well give your swan song man here it goes sing your swan song You

Know divorce death all things that happen sing your swan song Let let the universe know I don't believe any of this crap on Earth I nothing has power over me forgive me myself for thinking it ever did I was thinking I could never live if living is without you you know I didn't think I could do it I can't live what a weird song right like oh my God codependence and you know this is not your destiny instead out of the fire what's going to come next well I'm going to survive no now now you're reacting again I'm going

to prove to my ex that I can be now you see you're still you're still react that's still codependence because now you're going to prove you can do it prove it to who them which means you're still hooked to them no I'm not I don't like them you're that you're hooked how much don't you like them I totally don't like them excellent that'll be five more lifetimes with them for you you know so how much do you not like again I'm starting to fall in love with them all

over again you know and when you think I love them so I can be done with them now that's two more lifetimes it's not as bad as five but you're still hooked we don't realize that our our prayers work but we're always praying our anger is a prayer it's not a prayer in the sublime sense but it's a statement to the universe you don't realize that I really don't like that person means and I'm praying to come back and be with them again so we can work this out you would never want it to mean that then heal

heal fine fine I'm done with them no that that's not actually a deep process of love and forgiveness our head as long as our head is involved with the processes you don't really go very far it's got to be where I'm I'm collapsed into I don't even know what to do and now you can be taught you see because you don't know what to when you think you know how to forgive exactly the right way to forgive or release something your head's still involved which means you're going to

measure how much you do it's when it's I don't even know I don't even know why I have all these feelings I don't know how these things happened but I'm willing to say today you know to die to crucify my relationship with you I'm willing to let it die not in the victim crucify oh poor me but rather the I'm willing to let this die today let what die them no my opinions of them my hurts my reactions because they're not really sweet yet and and that concept the Phoenix that's the sublime see Scorpio is the

sign the only sign that has three symbols instead of just two animal symbols or whatever it has three and the Phoenix is the third so it's beautiful because instead of just having a lower nature to that sign and a higher nature because they all have that the lower nature of a sign sag or cancer or whatever else and a higher aspect Scorpio has this extra one the Phoenix it's the spiritual metaphysical Beyond symbol symbol you know and we in our lives can recognize the time of Easter is you know we read we heard the quote

from A Course in Miracles this is not a time of pain it makes no a crucified Christ but that's a key word a crucified Christ doesn't make sense is what the quote from a course of Miracle said but the key words were a crucified Christ because the Christ which is our divine self cannot be crucified but you have to crucify the human self to find the Christ so we don't crucify Christ but we do die of our old self and it's always about the deeper symbolism it's about dying of the old ego itself it doesn't

mean see what we did was we took things literally in the Middle Ages for example when we said okay we want to be close to God and to get close to God let's see in that time we said the only way to be close to God you have to be religious and if you're religious you have to be Pious you have to have no money you have to so sacrifice I mean even in our generation some of us were told by our parents you have to sacrifice yourself you have to be a victim you have to stay married even if you're miserable just

look at your dad and I we're as miserable as miserable can be but we're good Catholics or whatever the religion might be we're doing what the Lord if they're Christian what the Lord wants us to do or some other religion we're working out their karma you know whatever it happens to be you have to stop and say but wait wait this is my opinion or my mom's or my dad's this is this is just stupid human opinion what is God want in nobody asks God what is your will God's like you kidding me I've been wanting to tell you

for a long time I want you to be happy what and and our first reaction is going to be angry because that's not what we were taught you mean all this time I've been miserable my job I was told well just hang in there that's what you learn to do is you just tough it out suck it up you know if you're on a sports field and you get hurt they say oh suck it up it's like no I'd rather get off the field I broke a leg let me just get off the field no you can do it buddy no it's God's like you don't have to be in pain

really and what does that mean think about it you don't have to have bills you can't can't pay that's not God's will yes it is doesn't God want us to learn to suffer isn't that some of the the Bible yeah some of the mistranslated parts of the Bible blessed are the meek okay I really do feel blessed now that I'm Meek blessed are are those who are poor blessed are those who suffer okay and and some people took it so literal that there was a whole sect of people in the Dark Ages whipping

themselves causing them to constantly believe because they're going well if I'm constantly bleeding I'm really close to being like Jesus Jesus is like I'm not bleeding anymore why are you still doing it and he's also saying I only bled so that you won't have to what's wrong with you people you know why don't you get it I'm a resurrected Christ not a crucified Jesus and then he's telling us that's our destiny that's everybody's Destiny you know and he one of the main messages

of the crucifixion believe it or not or the whole passion the the life of Jesus for that matter is to show us that we are not humans we're Spirits we just look like we're humans and the human life is only to show us where our beliefs are still limited that's all the human drama is just to show us where we're still missing it if you still think that your perfect diet is going to make you healthy it's there to show you how you still think too much of your body if you think that looking younger

is going to make you what you really are it just shows you where you're are if you think you're you're not a great person because your children didn't get straight AIDS all of these things are just showing you where you're off why so you could feel bad about it no so you could make obvious adjustments wow God my children came home and they they didn't have straight A and there was a part of me that sank and then just say what the heck is that about correct it find out what it's about and correct it because you're

wrong the their grades do not make who they are um I didn't get the raise I was looking for that does not determine who you are yes it does you don't understand Michael that means the boss doesn't think that much of me that's codependence again why do you care what the boss thinks of you and that doesn't determine what the boss thinks it just reflects on some level what you think because when you really understand who you are you can't lack and you don't need to judge other people and say I can see somebody's just

a little out of alignment with Christ today because they got a flat tire you don't judge people for being out of it that doesn't do us any good you know sometimes I do I I get a little passionate and and I'll I'll just speak to something that's really ridiculous but I actually never feel it what I'm saying I never judge people I can say hypocrisy is just Lun lunacy but I never actually hate anybody that's a hypocrite I can speak about things but I and I can look like I I'm like intense about it but I'm just

saying the intensity to make a point we can say something we can correct things in our life and not judge ourselves for it we can just say God you know wow I can't believe that I'm still falling prey a little bit to that addiction but you don't have to actually believe that you're a weak person because you still succumb to addiction just see it for what it is kind of go wow isn't that weird here I am a Divine powerful being still thinking that having this or that addiction is what completes me because

it doesn't so one Apostle says I Die daily it's not just on Easter die I Die daily I I do lots of selft talk you know I'm I'm in self-observation as Edgar Casey calls it walk your watch yourself walk by meaning take time every day to just observe selft talk what are you doing today the inner critic what are you talk what are you you know what's where's that coming from oh you're getting older wait a second so what what does that have to do with anything well you know it could mean

this it could mean that where where's that voice come that's not God where's that voice coming from learning to see it and discern and say get behind me Satan metaphorically you know you have no purpose here your mother's voice your father's voice uh what you think is God's voice going you know you're not that spiritual you're not meditating enough there's God is never saying any of those things so we learn to kind of clean things up a little bit we can look at the metaphor of Jesus but Jesus you

know I I speak about spirituality here and we talk about Buddha and Mother Teresa and Jesus and so on and so on because I admire the goodness in people I love but then I'll tell you a story about some football coach because there's a moment that I hear at a biography or or a story somebody tells me about the goodness of just an average person I love that just as much as Jesus or Buddha or anybody else when somebody was able to stick to their guns when somebody says God Michael you wouldn't believe it but this miraculous

thing happened I was going through this totally challenging situation and then I remembered that prayer you talked about and I prayed it and I felt peace I'm like wow I mean I'm just in awe of something like that see it's not just Saints or whatever that I admire so we have to learn to see the goodness in ourselves and others and admire it because what happens is it then inflates it to a larger proportion you see it's like wow if they did it I can do it now somebody else changes their life just

because they heard a story about you but at the same time Jesus is a very unique being the way he says it in of Course in Miracles is in time which is an illusion in time linear time year after year Century after century and so on as far as time goes history goes I woke up before you I did I woke up before you but since time's an illusion I didn't we all woke up the very second we went to sleep the very second we forgot who we were we all remembered one second later so to speak so he's saying in reality

I'm no different than you and that's an important thing for us to understand on all kinds of levels because it means don't worry you know if you have some issues with historic Jesus or historic religions that are Christ or Christ oriented or Christian oriented I should say it's okay I'm not going to say don't you you know don't you feel that way that's bad and you're going to go to hell I don't you know I don't buy that at all you struggle with the Jesus stuff you struggle with Christianity I totally

get it I think Jesus probably has issues with Christianity for that matter I'm kidding but it it's it's that Twisted obviously but our job isn't to stay stuck on what's been Twisted about the teachings of Jesus let's try to put all that stuff aside for a moment it's Easter after all so let's put all that stuff aside all our opinions some people try to be nice and safe they go well yeah you know I admire Jesus you know Gandhi you know the pope um Santa Claus my nextd door neighbor and you try

to equal them all and they're not it's great and it's honorable for us to recognize and honor those people who've chosen to live the life to wake up so don't just say well Jesus is on Earth Jesus is just as wise as anybody else and they're just as wise as him don't don't confuse him with Socrates Socrates was a wise philosopher he was not a Mystic per se but even more so he was not a Divine Master Socrates will incarnate again Jesus will not even Buddha died and did not resurrect himself and Jesus did so as

much as we have great teachers in history indulge me today for a moment just to say that Jesus plays a unique role because of his ability to know who he is truly know who he is which is God I am so filled with the presence of God go ahead and kill me and I'll prove to you I can resurrect right after what is that well it's just cool just to show you I can do it no it's to say if I can resurrect my body you can resurrect from your marriage after the death of a marriage you can resurrect after the loss of a j if I can get this body you

stab it and beat it up and you know kill it and I can make it come back to life it proves you're immune to anything of this world because according to the Old Law the wages of sin are death that's the Old Testament and Torah the wages of sin are death now you think that's just um um from Judaism or from Christianity it isn't even the other religions of the Far East that say you die and you have to be reincarnated why do you think they say you have to be reincarnated because you've sinned you made a mistake and you

have to come back and get it right you see so even in eastern traditions where we you know where we believe in reincarnation and not just death we're still hearing because you are flawed you've got to make up for it when Christ did what he did he said I just proved you are not flawed whoever was able to manifest that one whoever proved that our that we're actually Divine holy beings who are flawless he pulled that off he is unique and it's okay that we see that I don't I'm not saying you have to walk around

saying I I I I found the Lord I don't think you have to go out and say you know I'm I'm close to Jesus because even I don't do that because I know that it can confuse people it can make people think that I'm like a Christian and God forbid I'm not you know that's not my thing but but religion per se is not my thing I can tell you all about the religions I can tell you you know this one and the wisdom I love them all and I especially love the people that go and devote themselves I think every one of

them has some really deeply beautiful things to it I'm cool with that at the same time I'm aware that we can look at religions we can look at philosophies and mysticisms but at the end of the day there's one that taught us to completely awaken a lot of people don't know about this but there are um there are uh prophecies stories um even a Buddha I mean even Muhammad has a vision at one point Muhammad has a vision and he said I saw all the prophets through history and he describes kind of a pyramidal

structure and at the top of them all was Jesus Jesus that's a statement that's a symbol you understand he's at the top of them all but some people don't realize that Buddha also had prophecies they were saying you know because the the religions uh uh Judaism they said one day the Messiah will come but also in the Eastern traditions in the Eastern Traditions there was this concept that there will come a deliverer that frees all of mankind so when Buddha's doing his thing they're saying hey are you him

and he said no he said hundreds of years from now Jesus 500 years later he said there will be one and you know it's not sidartha Gama that's this one he says I'm not him there will be another one uh I think it was called bwa um mraa or M matras it depends on what what slang or whatever you put on it but but bwa mraa that's going to be the the the actual big deliver Buddha says I'm one of 25 Buddhas but there's going to be the one and he says the things that we're doing he the way he says it Buddha

says karma is is heavier than the whole universe and he says you can't free yourself from Karma per se now bear with me he says your techniques to free yourself from Karma will not work you're reincarnating and trying to get it that way your breath work and your your your diet and and meditating he says it will not work Buddha says you got to clear your old Karma yes as best you can and and then he says and then you have to do good karma so they're saying so the point Buddha is you're telling us with

enough Good Karma the scales will eventually tip and will be there no no not really you should do the Good Karma anyway he tells his disciples do the Good Karma because you kind of need that but it's still not going to free you but this one bwa mraa will come and he says and he's going to deliver it everyone he'll be the one that releases all the Karma and he's the only one that can do it you understand he says he's unique how will we know him if we see him well he'll have these wounds these holes in

his hands his feet and these blood marks on his forehead do you understand he's prophesying that there will be one who's going to be able to pull all this off so Jesus has a unique place has a unique role you know that that and I love that even Buddha can say salvation will come through this person there's something about him he's got the keys to the kingdom as it were and I love hearing that because every religion religious leader they all had their place they all had their role but the fact that any of them could

say and yet we're here still in service there is one coming the deliverer and yet in Buddhism Judaism and others when he finally showed up most of them did not acknowledge that it was him because we're afraid we're actually afraid that it can happen because if he shows up and says see there's a part of us that likes to be spiritual and says oh I can't wait man we're waking up we're all going to ascend we keep putting names on it and yet when it actually happens oh no no wait a minute

I didn't know Ascension day was today now wait a minute I just planted some new shrubs in my I want to see them grow up my kids just went to college I want to see them graduate cuz that's what life's all about seeing them with that ridicul Square hat and throwing it up in the air and all that that's what I'm on Earth for you see and and those are called attachments we're actually afraid of the day of Ascension because we have reasons that we think are still to be here are still valuable to us they're

not valuable to the god self they're actually only valuable to our ego so people in their ego will actually create ways to stall their own Ascension so Jesus walks in and says you know here I am uh today you know Heaven is before you and and they try to kill him as soon as he starts teaching because he's saying the Kingdom of Heaven is within you you know what that means freedom it means all you do is turn within and you will find God and then you're released no no wait we have Karma to work off it will

not work wait as long as we do this as long as we do that so Buddha was trying to tell us even Buddha was saying our way of trying to get out of this will not work you see because we're still part of the karmic pattern meaning our old ways of doing things so is there a way can can we somehow release ourselves bwa mraa means bwa means wh skinned and he's and this is amongst a darker skinned people that were being taught this Buddha said bwa mraa it means a light-skinned person from another land okay so he and then the marks and

all these other things he's telling them one will come why doesn't the world celebrate that it happened and then those that celebrate his coming worship him on a cross so we're still hedging you see we only want to get into Christ the Dead one the Dead one it's the ego that distracts it's the ego that gets sleepy and that gets confused by these things we have to look at the ego self what I'm starting to space out right now Michael's talking about this and I'm starting to dis associate think about

other things that's not an accident it's so you can escape hearing what you're hearing that the day of the Lord is at hand it means any moment that we choose we can awaken well I'm going to work off my karma go ahead knock yourself out and then you're going to find it doesn't work and you're can to come back in the next life and have to do it again and then you're going to eventually go wow wait I'm I I'm having a thought here I've according to this psychic I just

saw I've been on Earth 8 trillion times now and I'm still not getting you know maybe I should just try something else and now you're in that moment choosing to crucify the old self you know and all the the the all the crucifixions um of Life the deaths of the old of course they're terrible and they're difficult but they don't have power over us and that's why we're walking up to that cross and saying go ahead do what you will well uh you know if you're if you don't do this if you

don't change your belief systems I'm going to divorce you go ahead well if I divorce you I'm going to take the money go ahead have your way you're still not going to have power over me your parents we're going to disown you if you don't do this and if you get a divorce we're going to disown you here we go cool you have at it have the courage to say you have no power look at Pilot don't you realize I have the power to you have no power that I haven't given you that's pretty cool I

don't think you have to use all the same wording to your parents I'm not saying it wouldn't be fun I'm not saying it it wouldn't be kind of fun you know kind of a cool experiment I just don't think in most cases it's the greater good mainly because they would not understand it they would only take offense which means it's not the greater good but if I make a statement of some kind and you take offense that's not my problem if I say it to offend you now it's my problem so

like just go ahead you know have at it if you do this we're you know I remember uh my dad's thing if he gets mad at you you better pay attention or I'm going to go in the other room and get that Bible you know what was coming and I'm going to rase your name from the family bible no not that oh no not that like you know I I he didn't understand why I didn't care because his generation was oh no that's bad oh God man you're kidding you're kidding not not erase my name from the family like people actually

think that matters and I was like well let me save you the trip I'll go erase it for you like you know the things that we think matter do not matter by by that I don't mean you're becoming cold I'm saying you start to realize what could possibly have power over the real self the real self doesn't say these things to be spiteful or hurtful to people to show them I don't care it's not coldness it's an internal sense of conviction so you don't act cold about it because then you know your ego is

still there but you might say well I'm sorry you fell that way but this is what I have to do loving and tactful but this is what I have to do this is where I need to go and have I done everything I could to prevent this from happening that's always a good way to check in yeah it it feels like it and you know that there's times when people will try to take you off track and you just have to say I'm staying the course Jerusalem you know was a place that Jesus said I'm going to go and they're going to kill me there so when

the Apostle said one Apostle says then don't go Jesus said just move aside like he's saying don't even tempt me to steer off course because I know this is what's right and that's a pretty heavy outcome he's going for right he doesn't mean you all have to be victims and go through the extremes that he went through but he's saying why don't you look at your own lives and see what you get out of this look at the metaphors the literal Jesus is a beautiful soul there's a couple of Records in in the the Roman

history couple of records of soldiers describing him this continence about him this that he would be very firm and yet light humor he had a sense of humor but he could be very firm and strong it's like you don't mess with him he knows he he knows what he knows and you can't steer him off of that but yet there's a lightness about him 6 tall 175 lbs long curly hair you know it's described in the Casey readings too and in these Roman uh animals but the this long brownish hair but sometimes golden in

color but he was lighter skin when people try to say okay well we're going to try to do a portrait of Jesus they almost always make him very dark skinned they say well he's from the Middle East and they're always dark they're not not because he's from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Judah tended to have at times golden hair and light skin as David because the tribe of Judas is also in the lineage of David and David was actually known to be very light-skinned right even the Irish people believe that they have in lineage

from the tribe of David that have that they call it Ruddy skin the reddish uh white skin so Jesus is not dark Middle Eastern powerful being very strong and he knows what he knows now now you don't have to take it too literally but how in what way do we do that do you really have a good conviction about what you believe are you willing to say this is where I'm going like it or not you all have past lives and probably every one of you have at least one where you are a spiritual Warrior of some kind you have to access that you have to

bring all your good from other lifetimes Into the Now bring it into the present now any horrible or or difficult or not so nice lifetimes what can I learn from that learn extract the learning the good and let the rest go because that's not now what's now is my choice to extract something of a very positive and constructive nature Jesus had a great lifetimes he was Joseph who who was betrayed by his 12 they were 12 brothers and he was betrayed by his other brothers the one that is participating in the Betrayal of him when he's Joseph

the one brother that's participating is is Judah who reincarnates as Judas so Jesus's 12 Apostles are also his brothers when he's Joseph in another lifetime and they betray him so he doesn't say fine I'll never talk to you guys again he says I want you all as Apostles that's pretty courageous yeah I want the guys that turned on me pretty courageous and I'm not saying that that means you should remarry your ex who's a nut I'm saying that do you have the courage to realize even whatever you do

I'm still okay I can have that much courage I don't think you should go back to a family reunion if your family's all dysfunctional and keeping secrets but if you did can you find immunity can you find a solid core that they cannot touch that's pretty cool if you go and just get triggered again you haven't proven anything to yourself spiritually can you kind of be in the mix I I have I've done that in my life where I've you know brought myself to those moments of testing things and almost always it goes

really well but it's because I I feel kind of invincible I don't go in going okay I'm going to try this and I hope they don't talk mean to me I'm going hey man how's it going oh Michael negative negative negative most of the time and in my more mature years it didn't matter you see I just I'll just do it and I love standing up for people that are kind of underdogs and when people when I teaching in in churches and spiritual centers so many years I I saw people really constantly berading people that

are into to to Tantra or or trying to learn about the their their human bodies and all that and rather than going yeah Shame Shame Shame just like spiritual people I started teaching about it more and writing about it more and wrote a book or two about because I'm trying to say bring light to this subject you know and it's challenging because when I go into that kind of scenario and teach those kinds of folks that are into Tantra sacred sexuality they think I'm far too spiritual and then the spiritual

thing people think I'm far too sensual but I'm still doing what I believe to be right don't do it if you don't think you can handle it I'd say I handled it about 80 90% still there were moments of ouch Still Moments of regret like bummed you know like what a bummer that these people react this way and these people you know but if you're doing this to make friends then you probably should do something else when you're standing for the light you are actually the man minority and you better just know that

going into it and if you don't like that idea then then stick with the crowd just kind of go along with the the average Jesus is a guy of conviction he was Enoch who builds the Great pyramid and all this other amazing history to that also known as Toth and you know by other names by other cultures but he's Enoch he's also melkisedek the priest king he was known as the the the the the king of Peace which is when he comes back at as Jesus they call him the Prince of Peace that's these are all thing all the things that

happened in Jesus's life are things that also happened in his other lifetimes kind of all coming together I've shared this before but one example is Jesus when he's a warrior because he's also a warrior in one of his lifetimes Joshua he goes and levels this place called uh um Jericho but he also takes over Jerusalem when he takes over Jerusalem he has the kings of Jerusalem brought out and hung outside the city Gates which is where he ends up crucified in his none another lifetime so a lot of what's happening to Jesus is

not accidental or coincidental or just random he actually was willing to say I'm going to walk through even my own karmas of the past and show you it has no power over you so he was fulfilling that's one of his meanings I am here to fulfill the law how many of us are willing to do that how many of us are willing to say okay this isn't going to be easy but I'm going to step through this even Buddha pulled that off where he said you know I uh that his Apostles you know his disciples are saying hey if

you're if you're Buddha why are people mean to you he says cuz I have had lifetimes where I wasn't very nice that's called taking responsibility he doesn't have to beat himself up over it he's just going it is what it is so you don't just have to say my ex is bad I'm good my boss is bad I'm good because the attempt to make yourself wonderful and beautiful but a victim is an unhealthy thing you are wonderful and innocent and beautiful but not the you that's a victim when you can say isn't that funny

that my love selfworth is the thing that creates a boss that won't give me a raise isn't that funny that carrying my genetic stuff is adding to this isn't this funny that my family patterns are still leaking through me and making me not have more finances or Better Health it's to own it and laugh at it is what helps you resurrect from it a lot of us that have gotten it we find ourselves not acting like our family anymore our brothers and sisters kind of look like they're they're born

from those people they act like they're born they have the behavioral patterns and other patterns but look at us some of us don't I mean some of us just feel almost like we must have been adopted and that's because you've woken up enough to seem different from the old pattern that doesn't mean if you happen to look like your mom you should think oh my God I'm a failure no I'm just saying it's one way to know more importantly than your looks shifting are your behaviors the same as them and when

they are laugh at it and go wow like many comedians have said I became my mother I'm just like my dad laugh at it and then change it you know that just like that person that doesn't really feel good so what can I do about that that's a person that's accessing their power especially their power to choose so Jesus is also Asaf a guy in we read about in the Old Testament Asaf is a Minstrel to King David So Asaf is actually hanging out with David helping to him through his difficult times and singing songs to him and helping him

write something called the Psalms so Asaf is actually helping David write the Psalms praise to God so David as a human's going I'm struggling and Asaf is going yeah and isn't it great because even during times of suffering there's God you're right so Asaf is there turning David on spiritually so David's having to Anchor and ground spirituality even at the level of of humanness because he's a king meaning you running your household you owning a business David's showing that we can

bring God into the darkest dark and Asaf who becomes Jesus later ASA where which is where we get asap's fables Asaf the Greek name is Asa so Asaf is helping uh David wake up just like like there's a guy named Arjuna in the Buddha in the Hindu tradition who's talking to a guy named Krishna Krishna is Christ or Christ did so Arjuna is telling a story about I have personal struggles but I've got the Christ the Krishna talking to me God is advising me even in human things so this is not about becoming so spiritual we don't

have humanness it's about bringing spirituality in to the humanness not in the way some people think in a way that we illuminate our humanness so much there's basically none left not because we're not human but because we're in the human with no judgment of the human people that think they're going to ascend out of the human into the spiritual are still trying to escape and I would take the advice of Buddha which is none of your plans for salvation will work you know they will not and Jesus in

a course of Miracles concurs none of your ideas none of your plans oh yes if I just eat a certain way do a certain breath work the ships are coming to get me if they wanted you that' have been here by now they don't want you you know i' I'd rethink that I'd rethink that if I were you call me silly call me a downer but they're not here yet so you might have to think about then if I'm not going to get to escape by some beings coming to get me Me Maybe I'm supposed to become the presence of

Holiness maybe I have to actually work at it by becoming the presence of Holiness how do you do that well of course you have to wear white only and eat only certain foods no believe it or not all your efforts are nothing love and forgiveness if you want to say any effort at all it's love and forgiveness but not because it's a duty a task a ritual love is who we are forgiveness is what love does so forgiveness isn't another act or ritual like trying to breathe a certain way eat a certain way forgiveness is

what love does so when I'm forgiving I'm actually being myself my real self see it's not a doing it's a being that's why forgiveness is different than all the other tactics or or techniques there's a really cool um story um you know it's kind of just a little uh madeup uh story of once Upon a Time so this person sees this vision and they see people in heaven and people in hell and in both parties there's this long table of people in heaven a long table of people in hell this person sees this

vision of both and all the people have really long arms they can't reach their mouth and they're all at this Feast I'm just paraphrasing the story but they're all at this big feast and they're all with long arms and the people in heaven look very healthy and the people in hell are starving so this person says to their guide I don't understand they all look the same and yet these people are starving and those people are healthy and their arms are too long to be able to eat both of them equal we all have

problems we all have issues you see is what it's saying then why are people in heaven looking healthy when they have all the same issues and it says because the people in heaven are using their arms to feed Fe each other and the people in Hell keep trying to feed themselves and the arms don't reach so they're starving and they're thriving when we can understand that you can only awaken by your ability to see the good and worthiness in others you can't just say I got it oh my God I got it I heard this lecture from Michael

and I got I read this book or whatever it happens to be and I got it I had a meditation I got it we're holy beings and I got it so I'm holy now good luck everybody you you already failed you can only realize you can have an Awakening about your value but it will not become realized and integrated until you live it with others others aren't even there but it appears like there's others and when I see others in the world thinking others with issues and others with good things and bad things and ups and downs when I

think I see black and white skin when I think I see others I'm seeing a reflection of a non- Oneness the only way I can cure that and Oneness is heaven and God so the only way I can actually cure my mental illness called separation from God which is only a thinking problem the only way I can correct that is to learn to see you as reflections of myself and if I can love you thoroughly enough I don't even see a you anymore all of a sudden when I see the real you I become you not I become your problems it's I don't see your problems I don't

see you as a problem any problem you may have as a cry for love so let me give that to you through forgiveness let me offer that through patience tolerance forgiveness let me see beyond what I thought I saw a minute ago it doesn't mean we ignore or pretend there aren't challenges but even if I see somebody physically harming another let me step in and help stop them but never judge them for it never hate them for it never say you're a bad person and this is a good person drawing Line in the Sand and

making boundaries is a healthy thing but people still think that the boundaries means you're better than the other person in a way you should feel sorry not just for them when you see issues with other people you should be feeling sorry for yourself because you're incapable of seeing their Holiness dang it and I saw this guy today and he was being mean and cutting people up he was all rude and and I was like wow yeah you know he is mean he is bad and you say but dang it it's not dang it that person's bad it's more like

dang it I missed that one I I failed to see their Holiness now if you keep it as I failed now you're judging yourself and we didn't get anywhere anyway but to be able to go isn't that funny I got hooked for a moment there the ho oponopono kind of an idea or prayer ancient loran prayer also Hawaiian thought to be Hawaiian and that is wow you know you started believing that for a minute you started agreeing with people that that person's a jerk I'm sorry sorry in my mind to that person I'm

sorry please forgive me in reality I love you and thank you you see that short prayer it's very responsible most forgiveness prayers have nothing to do with responsibility which means it can't forgive as long as there's a me overlooking your problems that's not actually forgiveness it's a good start but it's not the end of forgiveness forgiveness ends with there is no other and as I judge you I judge myself meaning as I judge you I'm now stuck in the problem too so my ability to love and forgive and release you I'm

also released you see so there's a lot of very deep symbolism to all this and Jesus was saying life is like a mythology and you have mythologies of spring coming which means a new life all these are mythologies meaning not yes they're also literal events a lot lot of them but that they symbolize a deeper mythology of the Soul so what he says is I'm going to fulfill the mythology of you waking up why is waking up a mythology because you never really went to sleep okay so it's time to wake up let

me play that role he's saying and I I just love that I never think of myself as hey guess what I'm awake and and you know everything I do is is perfect channeling of the Christ no I just do my best to do that and as long as we can all say we do our best don't judge yourself when you slip but just are you even trying are you even doing your best to get to that place of Awakening live it live the Christ life in all things though what does live the Christ life mean does it mean you surround yourself

with a band of people and walk around the world you know preaching no be a mom but live the Christ Life as a mom as a dad as a boss and employee live the Christ life in every way possible and it doesn't mean pious per se but do look at the deeper symbolisms what would the Christ self do today what would the Christ say today as best as I can you know um there was somebody I saw somewhere um and and they were uh in line I think I shared this with a couple of you before but they were in line somewhere and a bunch of people were in

line to get in this place and this one couple walked up and just kind of walked around everybody else to the front thinking well you know we'll just kind of look like we're doing something casual here and then they're going to get in for and it was like the people towards the front of the line are looking at each other like and they didn't know what to do and they didn't they did they felt uncomfortable like this is a test can you speak up well darn right no can you speak up without hatred well

no some of us know how to speak up but not without hate or anger so they're all struggling and I'm watching these people like oh God you know anger and sadness conf confusion bewilderment just like with our families or Partners or whatever we don't know how to handle it so I said excuse me these folks are a little concerned because you've walked to the front of the line and the line's actually back there and they got angry at me and they got reactive and settled you know you know to me and all that and

I thought get behind me say but I didn't say it so so but I stand up and I'm saying you know what great thanks for sharing but still the back of the line's over there stood up just stand strong they moved to the back grumbling they only moved slowly towards the back so that it didn't look like they were giving in and I can see through that too saw them a week later and I apologized did I need to no I wasn't in the wrong but I did it anyway just to create an extra sense of healing I said by the way I want to

apologize they go what I said well you know that that thing that happened and they said well that's okay I said no no really you know I said there was a bit of discomfort and I was trying to speak on behalf of that it wasn't like I was trying to correct you would be mean but you know see so I still did that even when we're not wrong it's it's okay to to bridge with people and say hey sorry about that you might have left a partner that was terrible to you and you don't say sorry I left you because I should

have stayed that's not what you mean it's more like sorry that that happened because according to the ho OPP ponopono prayer you're saying we all co-create these things and I'm sorry for my part and when you do that people will ease some of tension of being defensive and having to protect themselves and their egos by just that little bit of graciousness you know great things can happen and you never know now I've seen those people since and we're like hey how's it going we're like almost

friends but it didn't start that way is there anybody on this planet that you would not welcome into the kingdom of heaven with you and it's okay if there are some it's okay be honest because as soon as you see them you can start working on them you want to pretend there are none like that but you don't want to think about those individuals it's already then done it's already said up I'd rather just own yeah there are some and and what if you're really good at this and you say no there are not I

would still say but there might be because I'm going to stay open that there might always be a little something out there still for me to work on because if there's not I'm good and if there is I'm open that way no stone left unturned we're going to move into a a brief meditation now I pray I pray that today's made good sense and I pray this reaches into your heart and your understanding Jesus was a wonderful individual because of his choice not because he's special because of his

choice to believe that there's something more than The Human Experience by choosing such he discovered it because seek and you will find then he says and all I've done you will do and more not you might you will do because I am you he's saying and if I've woken up so have you a part of you now all we need to to do is fan that spark into a flame and you become the living Christ as well some centering breaths that's all Center first into the core of our being the awareness of who we really are not who a teacher tells you you are

not what a book tells you just who you really are and let the Divine mother let the holy spirit of God help us figure out what that is to become aware of what that is who that is it's love I'm this beautiful bright being and on Earth it's true on Earth I sometimes have forgotten so in this moment we want to make amends we want to we want to clear things please please do your best not to defend or rationalize any of this picture if you would anybody outside of yourself that you've struggled with anybody that's been uh uh wonderful

to you breathe in their Essence and feel grateful absolutely grateful for good people because that gives you a little bit like an oasis filling up your canteen it gives you some extra reserves to handle life but in the room imagine people you've been challenged with and you don't have to figure it with your head you can just say I'm open and any images that pop in because we're already saying holy spirit of God you show us there's some obvious ones I can put in there but you show us and then if somebody's face pops in

don't brush it off and go well that's not one if they popped in trust that it's probably for a reason and don't judge it or analyze it any and all individuals in this moment we affirm by the power of God given to us we have the power and the right to call in all unhealed patterns people relationships we call all of these in here now because this is for the greater good of healing family members even unknown individuals even from other lifetimes and dimensions all challenges all unhealed pieces to this room

now to everyone I've ever known and even to those I've never even met if for any reason you have help help felt confused or hurt by me in any way intentionally or unintentionally please hear and absorb my heart my feeling my prayer just feel you're saying that to everyone to anyone I've ever hurt I'm sorry [Music] sorry it was not the intention of my true self I'm sorry if I was weak and caused any harm I'm sorry if I was too confused or doubtful I'm T sorry if I was faithless in knowing who you

really are and who I really am please forgive me every relationship from my life my past every interaction I'm sorry if it was anything but perfect Christ presence I'm sorry onto the altar I put our interaction not even evaluating how much somebody was right or wrong none of that matters because my heart is sorry that it even happened that we would have any experience shy of divinity please forgive me in truth I love [Music] you and I thank you even if you refuse this healing with me your real self welcomes it

so either of us can like it or not but it's already happening I'm bidding fairwell to all my relationships where I have possibly done any harm consciously or not purposefully or not does not matter I'm just letting it all go because surrender is an important part of crucifixion I don't have to be crucified by having another challenging relationship I'll just do it now I am willingly crucifying by surrendering all hurts and to everyone who feels they have hurt or confused me in any way in intentionally or not hear from my

soul I love you even if I was hurt or angry the Christ in you I love you I'm not saying I love and welcome hurt I'm saying that's not the real the real you I love the real me I love and I forgive you not ously not due to obligation I'm saying that in any way I or you were outside of our Christ self and coming from the ego self the hurt the wounded the reactive the defensive that I am willing to forgive because it's not the real you and I seek and choose to find and know the real you and it's the real you

that I love I love love you I'm not saying this to the hurtful you I'm saying this to the real you I love you I love you and thank you thank you for being here in this process to help me see the truth and to release my needs for crucifixions and your need my judgments of you would crucify you and if you're crucified in your part of God's child then I'm crucified with you instead let's all get off the cross and be free and as we close we close with a heartfelt prayer remember surrender is a form of

crucifixion and if after we crucify the old self we will resurrect guys we will all resurrect into a new self so as fully as possible I surrender all that I have believed and need not have believed and all I could have believed but refused to believe I Surrender it I surrender all that I have thought and need not have thought and all I could have thought but did not choose to think I surrender all I have felt and need not have felt and all I could have felt but refused to feel I surrender all I have ever said

but need not have said and all that I could have said but refused to say and I surrender all I have ever done all in any lifetime that I have ever done and need not have done and all that I could have done but refused to do I am empty surrendering all that could have should have did didn't all of it gone I'm empty and on this sacred peace-building lineage of a family a karmic lineage a genetic lineage all of these things as real as they seem they're just seemingly more and more powerful stories to keep a

shell around me not today the shell breaks away and that birth the symbol of the new little chick is me the birthing of my soul into maturity the Divine mother helps me birth this new self today but I call upon you holy spirit of God be with me in all that I think say and do all that I believe so that we can keep this going not just for minutes but from now on this is my path this is my conviction I choose to birth the Christ self with you today thank you for helping me with this process continue giving me the courage and the strength

to know that the Christ self can now mature fully into this world and I can be the Christ on Earth and in that I know I cannot do it if I'm unwilling to see everyone else as that same Christ self I am part of God and I am very holy I am part of God and I am very holy and breath that in for a moment Easter is not not the commemoration of a man crucified and not even a man resurrecting but us all remembering and then a new life is birthed if the old ego me created a life clearly the new me will create a life and it'll be very different now the

Divine mother as my guide my teacher and my healer will show me how to create if that's that new little chick self that's coming forward that new little birth then I want to I want to protect that little being I want to take care of it I want to feed it things that help it grow I'm not going to feed it toxic stuff of this world judgments not talking about stuff I'm talking about thoughts I'm going to surround this little New Birth with great things healthy friends healthy family healthy relationships healthy thoughts words and

deeds I'm going to take care of this wonderful child Christ child even more than I would my own human child because it's all this beautiful perfection even a human child might come into this life with Karma and as a parent we try to juggle that for the child there is no karma in the Christ self so we're allowed to just en joy in Joy experience this journey and I give thanks for all people in advance that will make this easier every day and all who would seemingly cause a challenge to this new experience I

forgive you in advance because I'm also forgiving myself for reflecting as you my doubts in God there are none and so we are part of God we are very holy we close with God is I am we we are amen God is I am we are amen God is I am we are amen one more time God is I am we are amen amen a last closing breath or two deep Vivid giving thanks for this experience and our ability to understand to a new level and so it is thank you all

right possibly a different kind of Easter message than some of you are used to all right so we're going to take a moment and we're going to do our closing song before that we'll ask if anybody has any feedback um and while we're getting ready um we're going to take up our donations if you're watching online you can uh please support uh send donations as you can as you will and even if you can't you don't believe you can please do hear our prayer um so that you can help heal that piece of your life

because you can you can you can deserve more and believe more and experience more of God even in the physical manifestation of prosperity so we we're going to pray for you even if you feel challenge in that area but if you do donations here or you know from a from afar do know that donations every Sunday they go in these blue bags any extra donations they go in the wicker baskets those are for extra projects like the new Garden that we've done just be as generous as you can as all we say and if you're watching online people have asked

it doesn't matter you know even if it's $5 whatever it is do what you can to support but if you feel like you want you feel called for greater support you can become a sponsor or a Pledger here at Unity of Sedona you can do that uh on sort of on my on my site directly if that's what you prefer or through Unity it's it's great either way it's fine either way but uh the the sponsors are people that choose a program like the Children's Program or the cafe program and all that a Pledger is somebody that

just donates and says you guys can use it at Unity however you want so just see what feels right for you okay and lastly local and abroad um in a month or in a matter of weeks actually I think it is is it weeks now we have um in one particular one week a couple weeks from now a few weeks from now in um that that's May isn't it so in May um latter part of May we've got a 5day Mastery intensive here at Unity of Sedona same week we have David pral coming up in concert so you kind of could come into

town and have all that extra going on for one week all right all righty our prosperity prayer if you don't know the words it's probably posted on the internet but but also it's on your bulletins hear the prayer even if you don't believe you have and enough then hear the prayer so we can help heal that for you divine love flowing through me blesses and multiplies all that I am all that I have all that I give and all that I receive and so it is thank you now before we're done anybody want to

share it takes about a minute for them to pass the around um anybody want to share what you learned or heard today that might make the most difference for you yes I love you thank you I love you too and I felt your Mage directed at me else yeah thank you thank you she felt that in the heart the message of today yes relationship nice nice looking back at Old relations and trying to see them from loving eyes it doesn't mean you're justifying or defending or denying or minimizing hurtful things we're not saying that

Jesus even says in the course when people act insanely don't be too surprised cuz people are insane but he says your job is to try to see something in them beyond the insanity beyond the the judgments and the hurtful Behavior he's saying underneath there's still this light trying to come out but their ego is in charge don't pretend that the ego thing's not happening but are you willing to see beyond it anyone else yes simple statement am is who I am love is who we are and then forgiveness is what love does see

if there's a doing necessary the only doing ever necessary ever is forgiveness because the only thing that ever seems to have happened other than the creation of our beauty is we thought we separated from that so the correction is called forgiveness so anytime things are happening in the world they're just mirroring to us those you know moments of angst that mirror that we believe we're separate so if we can forgive which doesn't mean pretend something that did that that something didn't

happen but am I willing to see that it's a greater lesson for me get the lesson give the rest to God and then see the light in that person beyond their ego self that's forgiveness it's a it's a process and there's resistances to that so it is it does take a little bit of a moment here and there to get that it might happen in Cycles it might happen in stages but stay with the conviction of getting there yes there is no karma in the Christ Consciousness yes yeah in Christ Consciousness see even all the

old school one of them is the wages of sin are death so you're going to die the other is you're going to come back again and again in Christ and it's the only one to awaken the Christ which is through love and forgiveness there's no Karma people say well I'm looking forward to the law of Grace how are you going to find Grace without Awakening to the real self people are waiting for the law something some holy being to give them Grace and those beings are saying no you are Grace and the reason you can't see it feel it

find it is if you're still in judgment so Grace awaits but not someone bestowing it on you I'm just figuring now one day I'm praying for grace and God's going okay cool go for it okay then give me Grace well I did but I'm not feeling Grace come on bring it I did well then if you could speak to God directly and hear the voice answering it would be so why am I not feeling Grace because Grace will not be seen it doesn't get bestowed it's there but you won't see it until you practice

love and forgiveness oh that okay never mind I'll try I'll try a different God then you know I want God a god of shortcuts you know it's just it's it's in the realm of ridiculous thank you for being with us please stand for a closing song and those of you watching from afar not just from me from everybody here right guys yes from all of us honestly we wish you well we know that some of you were out there celebrating this holiday and some of you are struggling honestly some of you are alone some of

you have gone through are going through or might go through some challenges understand you are not alone in this please get that and if you celebrate celebrate with us we'll celebrate with you but if you're challenged let us help you in the crucifying of the old the new self comes about and we we pray in advance that your Awakening is here and we see it for you right and so it is peace be with all of you let's so
