So hello everyone out there in cyberspace, whatever time frame you might be coming to
these amazing teachings because you've called them to yourself and you must be ready.
We are here in our little temple in Ubud on the island of Bali, Indonesia,
assuming that when you see these, Bali is still here, and there still is an Indonesia, you'll know where we're at.
You never know. They might find these videos in a steel vault forty-five thousand years from now.
[Laughter]
So, and we're into The Way of Knowing
and today we're going to launch our excursion into Lesson Four.
It's a very short lesson, and in a way.....Jeshua is a pretty good teacher.
He kind of blasts you for a few lessons, or months if you want to use that model,
lot of stuff to be with, digest, breathe with, sit with,
and then He kind of lets you to take a breather ~ but not quite.
It just seems like a breather but He approaches it in a slightly different energetic way.
So everybody ready? Lesson 4, Way of Knowing. Let's see what He's got to say.
"Understand well, then, my delight in creating communication devices that allow me to be with you."
Just take a nice deep breath.
Whether you pick up the Course or
The Way of Knowing in The Way of Mastery, sometimes we are so busy trying to . . . . We want this Light into our being,
it's like we kind of forget to tune into the Being who is actually making it possible.
It's like, what vibration is Jeshua coming from when He does the work He does?
Well, He lets you know.
"Understand my delight......
in creating communication devices that allow me.... to be with you."
Breathe that in for a moment.
He delights..... in creating communication devices......
that allow Him.... to be with you.
And you thought He was trying to part all these teachings because you're such a stupid schmuck.
[Laughter].
He actually delights in finding ways to connect and commune with you.
He doesn't sit back and say, "I'm not dealing with that ridiculous planet and all those
vibrational waves passing through there.
Once they get their act together and rise to my level, I'll be happy to meet them for lunch."
No, He looks upon where you are and His delight, which moves from Love,
is He actually sets about to create communication devices so that He can be with you.
Anybody ever wanted somebody to change so you could be with them?
[Laughter]
Welcome to the part of the realm of the dream of separation.
"I can now separate from me and by having a judgment, and I like what I like and as
soon as you change about you what I don't like, then I'll hang out."
Imagine if Jeshua had that attitude toward us?
Nobody would have ever heard of Him because He wouldn't have popped onto the planet in the first place.
Anybody complained about the world,
waiting for the world to change so their essence can show up on planet earth?
[Laughter]
Can you imagine, God goes to Jeshua, "Got a job for you."
"No. I know what you're about to say. I'm not going there for anything. It's all messy there.
That dream of separation stuff, oh, my God, ooh! Well, I might do it but you'll have to teach me how to divinely
protect myself from all the negative influences."
It's not in the Bible but when Jeshua was born,
He had nine million crystals tied around His body [Laughter] to protect Him, [Laughter]
medallions and all kinds of stuff, garlic around His neck. [Laughter]
And He was already chanting Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary! [Laughter]
No, here He is, He's just so much in Light and Love that He wants to connect with you
and goes about generating devices to allow Him to be with you.
Breathe that in, because there's a lot in what He just said.
It reflects on us where we are so afraid of the world.
Anybody ever been taught you have to protect yourself, like shield yourself with Light?
It's all a bunch of rubbish.
It's only if you are identified as fear that you believe you must protect yourself, from what? Loving?
Ooh, can't have that! So with that.... mm, mm, mm....
"as I . . . look upon the world in which you abide and allow myself to receive
the guidance of my Father in how I can best create communication devices that can touch as many hearts and minds as possible."
Now, this is something we all do when we wake up in the morning,
first thing, before we brush our teeth, before we pee, before we have a to-do list thought,
or, you know, those little old thoughts, "Oh, wish I wasn't so lonely.
Oh, golly, it's raining." You know those little thoughts.
We don't have any of those thoughts, do we? We wake up just like this. "I look out upon the world in which you abide -
all of those 'yous' ~ and allow myself to receive the guidance of my Father."
This is what He does. It's His first thing.
If He had a morning, this would be the first thing He would do. And why does He do that?
He wants guidance from the Father "in how I can best create communication devices that
can touch as many hearts and minds as possible." Wow.
Ever remember waking up in the morning and trying to figure out why you can't get somebody
to love you the way you want to be loved or... how you're going to make a million bucks,
or . . .you know, the list goes on and on and on.
Or better, yet, you wake up with those thoughts of why.....
you have no responsibility or need to communicate to anybody,
because they just don't get it.
It might be a threat to my ego structure. Anybody had those kinds of thoughts?
You know you wake up kinda with a '*** it world' attitude. Yeah!
Or you want to move towards aloofness and withdrawal and just . . . hmm, mm.
So what's He doing? He 'wakes' up.
And He's doing this all the time. There's no gap.
Always His first move is to open to the guidance of the Father which is pure Light, pure Love,
because His inner desire, which He's become, only that desire, is
'How can I create devices to communicate with and allow myself to join with as many hearts and minds as possible'.
So imagine what it would be like to start your own day that way as a living practice,
opening to the Divine, and resting in the desire, "How can I create communion, communication devices
through which Love and Light can pour through my Soul to touch as many hearts and minds as possible?"
What if that became the pebble in the pond, the steering wheel,
the hub at the centre of the wheel that reshaped your entire life?
So as you can see there is a lot in His first opening greeting to us. Easy to read right by it.
Now, I don't know if this next little phrase is, umm, well, okay,
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Jeshua.
You probably don't mean this as a dig.
"There is a great advantage to living outside of the realm of the body.
I need not spend 'time' on the body."
Anybody spent time on the body? Whoop! ~ need another face-lift, whatever, spend time on the body.
"I can see that that strikes some chords among you."
So He begins now to share, as He's the master of segueing,
He wants us to revisit some things about the body.
"The body is not right, and the body is not wrong. The body simply is."
Anybody thought their body was wrong. Or maybe after spending a lot of time on it,
it looked like it was almost getting 'right'. [Laughter] "Well, I've been fasting, lost ten pounds.
It's almost ~ right. [Laughter]
Eight hours of the gym after a five-mile run in the morning, I'm getting closer.
Oh, six bowls of ice cream, burr, that feels about right." Umm, umm. (keels over)
Unconsciousness. Mmm.....
"In Reality, as you have fallen under the spell of the world you have created ~"
Whoa, He just said I'm the creator of the world and I've fallen under a spell.
"for no other reason than you wanted to ~"
Let's all take a deep breath.
Unbeknownst to me I have manifested an entire world,
fallen under its spell, and I have done so because I damn well wanted to, thank you.
Let's take a breath and try that attitude for a moment.
(Jayem crying, hand on his chest) 'Not because, it wouldn't have happened
but it's so hard here and I've been victimized so often.' Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
It's a real place to really get, "I have forgotten who I am, created a world,
fallen under its spell with all of its stuff that comes with it because I wanted to." Hmm.
Now the down side of this is you don't get to blame anybody. [Laughter]
I mean, golly, that's a great drug.
Don't get to blame or find fault with the world.
If you're seeing fault ~ it's like, if you go to the store and buy a Mattel toy,
and you find a defect, you go back to the maker of the toy, right?
And you point out, there's a defect in your toy.
We look out and see defects in our toy, the world we've made,
and actually try to project the fault onto the world.
Why did you do that to me? How could this plastic be cracked? Who's done this?"
Instead of coming all the way home to the toy maker, (gesturing within) going,
"Ha, I am the maker of the world." Mmm, ah, ah, ah!
