High Lord Maitreya:
Hail !!
Jade Fire:
Good evening children.
Good evening, Sir.
Welcome. Welcome. I am the Jade Fire. This is the name of love shared by me
and this child of mine. Some here know me as the Master Yesu. But when I come
before you, I am the Jade Fire. Before we ask you for your questions, may we
have the permission to address the circle? For all present, these two (Diana &
Scherry) large-hearted wonderful children, are the leaders of this group. We
urge you all never to confer the title of ‘leader’ upon this child of mine (Nilou).
She is fighting her own personal battles, and this title may do her harm. All
decisions to be taken will be taken not by her, but by the ‘leaders’. We wish to
thank you for accepting this responsibility. .
We are honored.
And for working so hard for this day. This is not a private meeting, it is
public. And as such, must be left open to all who desire to come. We will
caution you at this stage. There will be those who will come with belief in
their hearts. There will be those who will come with curiosity. There will be
those that will come with scorn. There will be those that will come with
disbelief. All must be made welcome. As time progresses, the two leaders are
being cautioned, there will be those who will come, who will mistake the medium
and not treat her as only the ‘messenger’, but in their hearts might give her
the erroneous seat of ‘prophet’. It is the task of the two leaders to see that
this kind of deification does not take place. All……all must be made to
understand that though this child must be given the respect she deserves as our
messenger, she is no prophet. She is our instrument, a good one. And for that,
you must love her. But do not let love be turned to worship. If this takes
place, we will be forced to close down such a meeting. Being a public meeting,
we cannot enforce upon you strict rules. But for the safety of this child, we
would like to make a few suggestions. If movement is to be made, it must be made
with the prior permission of either the leaders, or the other cornerstones. When
movement is to be made, either in or out of this room, it must be done quietly
so that the physical environment does not cause any trauma to this child. When
we invite personal questions, you are most welcome to ask. But, at all other
times, the meeting and the questions will relate to subjects of universal truth.
In this, we ask you to decide upon the subject. Anyone can ask a leading
question which can become the subject or one of the subjects of the meeting.
During the course of the meeting, if at sometime, questions are invited, please
be fearless and ask whatever you desire. We wish to be your friends. We do not
wish for your reverence, or awe. When there is reverence, you make yourself
distant. And we wish to embrace you. Each one. But, all those who desire to ask
questions, must silently raise their hands and one of the leaders will give you
the permission to ask. And it is then, that you will ask your question. The
leaders must ensure that questions of all are included in one meeting. There are
no restrictions to those who attend. They can be of any age, any sex, any of
your so-called castes and religions. We would desire that the meetings start no
later than a quarter to four’o’clock. If this is not possible, please let us
know now.
It is possible Sir.
There will be those who, in spite of trying hard, may not be able to come in at
the specified time. Let them enter…..quietly. And either remain standing, or sit
without disturbing anyone. You may feel that this will encourage habitual
latecomers. But that is okay. Each one must walk their path, and we must not
interfere. We will now take your questions, if you have any.
Sir, is there any restriction on the duration of the meetings?
My child, when it is half an hour past the five’o’clock, you may inform us if we
exceed. We do not wish to start with longer meetings. Later, if the need
arises, we may extend the time.
Sir, on the day of the meeting, should the participants strictly be
‘vegetarian’?
My child, not only this meeting, but when you do any spiritual work, for
the growth of your soul, for the increasing of your vibrations, for meditative
practices, it is always necessary to ingest only fruits and vegetables. Any
other products, including milk and milk products, products made of flour, any
dead flesh, tea, coffee, eggs, chocolate-----all of this, when taken before such
practices, will not stop your growth but will certainly slow it down. My
children do not think that you are here only to listen. While you are listening,
you are not even aware that behind each and in front of each, are two of our
workers cleansing you and working to raise your vibrations. This is being done
silently. And if your body is readied for this task, it is beneficial for you.
So, dear one, we do not set any rules. We have just explained to you what
happens and we will leave the decision to each one.
Sir, the seating format------does everything remain the same, Sir?
Let them be comfortable in whatever way they desire.
Sir, for the protection of your child,……
That is adequately done.
Is there anything for the journey-----anything of that sort, Sir?
Sir shook his head.
Thank you, Sir.
Rusi: You have brought tears to my eyes but may I request you, without
understanding, because I do not know if it is possible or not, but I would like
you for a second to open your eyes and look at me. So that I can look at you.
If its yes, its yes, if its no, I still thank you.
(Sir opened his eyes and looked at Rusi)------Let all your past burdens dissolve in your tears and let your tears become mine.
Rusi: I cannot do that. I have always lived to share, I cannot tell it to
the world. All tears with everybody else is always to be shared. I cannot give
you my burdens. I may be wrong…but I am just a beginner.
These tears that we will take will not be your burdens, what you will give us
with your tears will be the love that your heart will know for the very first
time.
Sir, may I ask a question, Sir? In the earlier meetings you had told us that
dolphins had evolved even higher than us. Then, I find that from the ancient
civilizations, like the Aztecs and Egyptians, snakes were also made into Gods.
Why is it that today snakes have fallen so low in our esteem, Sir?
Fear of the unknown…….always strikes a chord in man.
But are snakes highly evolved, Sir?
The Cobra is the symbol of all strength, all knowledge and all power. My son,
this will never attack and we repeat, never attack without cause. Yes, dolphins
in their own path of evolution, have reached peaks unknown. Their music and
their sound can heal every known illness. But this is not to be for a long time,
because dear one, human evolution is not ready to receive these vibrations. Each
one of you, when you fall ill, will look for some external excuse for what you
call your disease. There is none. There are no physical reasons in your
environment; there is nothing in your environment that can cause you an illness.
Now you’re wondering ‘perhaps Jade Fire has never heard of bacteria and virus?’
They are present. They do not harm you, they only serve as a catalyst that your
body makes use of to talk to you. It is because you do not talk enough to your
physical body. It is because you do not listen to your physical body that your
body has to use this. If this child needs to talk to this child, she will use a
catalyst and she will talk. The telephone she uses is only the catalyst. It is
not the telephone that is talking, not at all. If both could raise their
vibrations, so that telepathic messages can be sent back and forth, would she
need to use an external catalyst? Not at all. So if you do not wish for your
body to use these external catalysts, listen to it more. Talk to it more. Love
it more. Am I asking you to be vain? No. I am asking you to look at this as the
greatest temple that there is, within which resides the only God in all the
Universes. Do not look at an external temple. Do not search for an external God.
HE is within. SHE is within. IT is within. IT…..a spark that has separated from
Divinity and is still ‘one’ with Divinity. Love this temple, look after it, not
obsessively, not for the sake of vanity, but because this temple is respected
for permitting this one God to reside within. Everyday, open the doors of this
temple and look within. Can you not see the cobwebs in that corner? Can you not
see that the floor remains unswept? Can you not smell the bad odour of anger
and pain? Once you can see it, smell it, and be aware of this, you will do what
you do to all your external temples. You will at once, without any hesitation,
begin the process of cleaning. But, where is the broom going to come from?
Where will you find the soap? Where will you search for the swab? Isn’t this a
wonderful temple? Not only is it dirty, but within it lies all that is necessary
for its cleansing. So, what is the broom? Let us clean our temples step by step.
Pick up the broom of Universal Wisdom, and know that only you have the power to
hurt yourself. Only you have the power to be joyous. And only you……and only you
are responsible for every pleasant and unpleasant experience in your life.
Without this broom of wisdom, cleansing cannot even begin. Take this broom and
sweep away at what angers you, at what hurts you. With every sweep, repeat---I
am the one. And there is no other greater truth. "I am the one". With
every stroke, empower yourself ------"I am God. And I am His name." After
the sweeping, the floor needs to be cleansed with soap. All the dirt of the ages
that lies stuck ------black, grime, of this and all other lifetimes, must be
scrubbed away using the soap of Surrender. How beautiful is this surrender.
Because you surrender to none but yourself. There is no other God, but you. But
you. But you. But you. There is no other God. How often have you fallen onto
your knees and prayed in all your pain? ‘Dear Lord, I surrender to your will’
and so often have you been disillusioned, because you find no answering echo.
But my loved one, where can the echo come from, when you pray outwards where
there is nothing, and look not inwards where there is everything. So, the soap
of surrender, is not a surrender to an enemy, it is not a surrender to a Master,
it is not a surrender to a God that sits in judgement, and whose only task seems
to be to mete out punishment after punishment. The surrender is to the ‘spark’
within. ‘I am God’------and when you ARE God, who else in this universe has
power over you? There is none. There is no tyrant so powerful who can enchain
you. There is no false friend so powerful who can demean you. There is no enemy
so powerful who can defeat you. Because you already know, with the broom of
Universal Wisdom -----that it is you and you alone, who is responsible for all.
Do you think that you have come here today by accident? Or because someone
asked you to come? You came out of a pre-determined moment of conscious
planning, that ‘in this lifetime, with all other experiences I will also choose
growth and unity.’ So it is no accident that you are sitting there. And you did
not come because you were invited. So, with this soap of surrender clean away
the grime, knowing that every moment of pain was chosen with complete, wilful,
deliberate planning. You ask me why? Why would I be so foolish to plan such a
difficult life? Am I really that stupid? In all your wisdom you planned …….not
in the wisdom of the small physical mind, but in the larger wisdom of a Higher
Mind. You planned. Why did you plan? Each answer is different, but there is one
common answer. You planned because you wished to fall. You planned because you
wished to falter. You planned because you wished to experience defeat and loss.
You planned because wished to experience a complete emptiness, so that out of
this you could rise and grow. And reach another higher level of consciousness.
So that out of this, as you rose, and looked at the emptiness within, you could
say ‘thank you’ to yourself and then allow the love of Divine Energy to fill
you. So that never again would you have to look outwards for love and acclaim.
That is why you chose. That is why you chose to fall. That is why you chose to
scrape your knees, that is why you chose to break your bones. That is why you
chose to experience pain that that wrenched your guts out of you. That is why
you chose. So what does the soap do? As you scrub and scrub, and let the grime
be covered by soft, white, pure foam, you surrender to the knowledge that ‘I am
the One.’ ‘I chose this for a particular purpose and I surrender to the Higher
Wisdom of my Higher Soul’. Once there is surrender, there is no pain.
Give me your hand, child. (Twisting it) Is there pain?
Yes.
(Relaxing the hand) Is there pain?
No Sir.
When I squeezed, you resisted and there was pain. When I let it be, there was no
resistance, and there was no pain. So, after using the soap of surrender, we
clean away all the grime with the soap, with a swab-----and the ‘swab’ is the
swab of ‘no resistance’. Not ‘Thy Will Be Done’, but ‘My Will Be Done’. The
will of my Higher Self that knows universal truths that I will not even hear
while in physical form. "My Will Be Done" ------no resistance, no pain. The
temple is cleaned afresh. And then, you look within this cleaned temple and
suddenly you smile and there are tears of joy that run down your face, because
within that temple you see, seated in its very center, the Divinity that you
have always searched for, but somehow never found. And you see that, and it
grows, and it grows. And it envelopes you, both inside and outside. And all at
once, there is a feeling that you have never felt before. All at once you
understand, not with the intellect but with the soul, what is ‘peace’ and what
is ‘love’. And all your questions that you desire to ask lie unanswered because
there are no more questions left. That is how you love this temple. Not by
standing in front of a mirror, not by covering its beauty with false wealth, not
by putting into it all that will make it even dirtier. That is how you love this
body. This temple.
Are all illnesses a form of inner cleansing?
No, my son. Illnesses are not a form of cleansing. Illness is your body
communicating with you, in the only language that you somehow understand,
telling you that ‘I am not being looked after, that my inside is dirty and needs
to be cleansed. Please take care of me, please talk to me. Don’t forget me.’
that is an illness.
But Sir, what happened to me today in the morning, Sir? When I was doing the
exercises? For the first time I could not take the energy up to the 14th chakra.
Because for the first time my son, you connected with an energy with such
high vibrations, that the physical is not used to it yet.
Was that why I nearly passed out, Sir?
Sir nodded.
Sir, could you tell us the difference between surrender and resignation?
When you resign from a job, you have to give a letter, do you not? Who do you
give it to?
The boss.
Are you the ‘boss’?
Okay……I get the point.
When there is a ‘boss’ outside of you, you resign. When the boss is within,
you surrender. There is a joy in surrender; there is a sense of defeat in
resignation. And that, my dear children, is a very good clue for each one of
you, because the question my dear son has asked is essential. You must
understand this. Many sit back and do nothing, because they say, "I have
surrendered." But, if in that surrender, there is a sense of ‘loss’, of defeat,
of regret, of sorrow, you know it is a resignation. ‘Surrender’ can bring only
Joy. Because surrender comes only after you have held that broom well. Only then
can surrender come. And such surrender is joyous. Because for the first time you
acknowledge, ‘I am God. And I am His name.’ Do you understand, my son?
Yes Sir.
Any questions, dear ones?
Could you tell us something about our different bodies and whether the
‘spiritual body’ is the same as the ‘etheric body’, please?
Your spiritual body resides within and yet outside. The etheric is only outside.
The etheric is the result of the energy passed on to you from your spiritual
body. What you truly ‘are’, child, is the spiritual spark. But when you need to
take physical form, when the spark must divide itself into two, one remains in
the realm of Knowledge and the other resides in the realm of Forgetfulness. When
you divide, and you take on physicality, the energy must be continuous and flow
to your physical body. Otherwise, the physical body will die instantaneously.
The etheric bodies are the channels through which this energy is gently
transmitted to the physical body, eventually reaching the physical body in a
manner that will not cause any discomfort. My son mentioned a dizzy spell. He
and others of their group are being trained to reach this energy without making
use of etheric bodies, so that the communication channels are quicker. The
physical could not easily take such a high surge of energy. He has consciously
made a free-will decision to undertake such exercises and therefore, these
experiences `and discomfort must be a part of his process, but unless this is a
free-will conscious choice, the energy that reaches the physical body must be
very, very gradual. And it is only to sustain the physical body. It is not meant
for a spiritual growth, or a rise in vibrations. Is this clearer?
Sir, you mentioned that from now on we should say, ‘My will be done’. But
every time I want……..
Child, not your small, ego, intellectual ‘will’, the will of your Higher
Soul……will be done. Because your plan was not made by your small physical mind.
It was made by the larger Universal Mind that each one of you possesses. And
therefore, it is the will of that, that is followed. Child, you feel distinct
and separated from your Higher Presence. Your first lesson must be to bring
about Unity. Because you are this. And you are that. And they must be one,
because they ARE one. Does that answer your question?
Sir, but if I don’t realise now what my higher spiritual soul planned, isn’t
that the reason why we undergo so much pain and suffering?
Yes. Because dear one, it is the intellectual mind that has been conditioned by
reason to always ask ‘why’,’how’, what’,’when’, where’. It never asks, ‘why
not?’ Ask that question and the Unity is created. And yes, you are right
again, my child. Each one of you, due to the veil of forgetfulness, has
forgotten to one degree or the other, that particular reason that you planned in
that particular way. And this must be so; the veil of forgetfulness must be
placed because you live in a realm of free-will choice and free-will choice
cannot be made without the veil of physical forgetfulness. So, yes my child, you
have forgotten. And yet, have ‘you’ forgotten? Are the questions of this mind
so important that they must be answered? And sacrifice the knowledge of this
light within you? When the merger is complete, the veil will be
lifted and you will know why. But, for that merger, there must be a free-will,
deliberate decision. This (the ego/mind) with all respect, will be asked to step
down…..and this (the higher soul) with all adoration, will be asked to enter.
But it must be a free-will, deliberate choice.
Sir, why this perverse thing……that first you build up the
dirt, which then has to be cleansed?
You ask me as though I am the perverse one.
Sir, you’re chucking it back at me.
Of course, I am. Who else would I chuck it back to? My son, the grime is not
mine. It never was. And it certainly never will be. It is yours. Yes, I can
answer how it has built up. It has built up due to resistance. It has built up
because when there was a small speck of dirt, you were either lazy and did not
wish to work enough to cleanse it at once, or you were scared and you closed the
temple doors and you said, ‘what I cannot see, does not exist.’ That is why, my
son, so many do not believe in me. ‘I’ do not exist. Once the
temple doors were closed, the dirt did not disappear. It attracted to it from
the universe, more and more and more dirt. Till today, when you open the door
after so many years, the floor that had only one speck of dirt when you closed
the doors is now covered with grime. Now……who is perverse?
Sir, why the speck of dust in the first place?
Because you resisted what you had chosen. It is as simple as stating that, "I
will sit upon this chair." It is of your choice. No one has forced you to use
this chair. And then, when the chair is brought before you to sit, you sit in
the chair with full resistance and say, ‘I cannot fit into this. Let me break
its arm. And its leg.’ What you have now is no more a chair, it is what you have
ruined of a wonderful experience, due to your resistance. That ruin is your
speck of dirt.
Sir, but there’s no getting off the past?
Who are ‘we’ to tell you that? You got onto it out of your own free will. You
are in it out of your own free will. You are driving it out of your
own free will. And then, you turn around and tell us, "now stop the bus that I
am driving." Would you like to try that on a busy road? With another driver?
Sir, please may I ask a question? Sir, once you had told me……talking about
this grime and dirt and all……once you had said that my obsession for cleanliness
‘outside’ has a lot to do with what is inside…..could you please just explain
exactly what it means?
Through the lifetimes, every time you have come back to our side, you have looked back and you have regretted that you did not cleanse. Every time an opportunity had been presented to you, you shied away in fear. And every time, regret built up. There was a firm decision again made when the time came for you to come back into physicality. This, what you call ‘obsession’, is due to your memory of that determination. The memory is manifest in a physical habit. Now, turn it inwards. But don’t do it obsessively.
Sir, may I ask a question? We talk about the higher self and the higher soul.
Is it possible to merge with the higher self in this existence or do we have to
pass over and then only we can merge, Sir?
You already merged this morning. Briefly. So your question has been answered.
And Sir, you spoke even about the telepathy thing…….but even in this life,
this 3rd dimension and this stage of evolution where we are…..don’t we have even
a slight ……sometimes, when we talk to each other, the other person says,
‘you’ve really read my thoughts.’
And that is what you have done. That is why we urge you -----raise your
vibrations enough, so that the poor medium of words is not needed by you. And
yes, it can be done by you in this three dimensional physical world. Yes.
Go in peace and light and let the inner radiance fill you within, and encircle
you from outside so that you can shine upon the universe, the full radiance of
the purity of your light.
ALL: Thank you, Sir.
