Greetings beloveds. (To Zaf) She really thought this would be a small gathering.

No…goes to show how much you don’t. And what you don’t know most is How to Love. We are not even referring to the Universal, Cosmic Love that is a force and a strength and a power. We are referring to your ‘love’, which is an emotion, a feeling, sometimes gentle and soft, and sometimes embittered and violent. But you don’t know what it is to love, how to love. You often ask, whom do I love. My children, wife, husband, parent, lover, friend, sibling… whom do I love? But what if we were to tell you that, little one, you are an orphan, you have no father and mother… my beautiful one, your husband is dead, your wife no more, that the universe has planned that you are without any siblings, any children, not even a friend. Will you then stop loving? Will you close up that rich and precious mine that dwells within each? You would, you most probably would. You would put a lid to it. Why? Because you wouldn’t have an external object to direct your love to. Or you might turn to the one you call ‘God’ or the one you call ‘Master’, or a ‘Guru’ or a ‘teacher’; all in the hope that there would once again be an external object. But sooner or later, sooner or later, every external object is removed from you, because the only one you can truly love is self.

When you love self, then each child in this world is your child. Your womb does not become the ‘significant’ place. Then each mother who has sacrificed and given and slaved is your mother, and every father who has striven to uphold all his family traditions, to do the best for those whom he loves, is your father. Then every brother who stands tall in protection of his sister is your brother. And every sister who runs into the waiting arms of her brother is your sister. Every eye that you look into will be the eye of a friend. There will be no stranger and no enemy; no, not even an acquaintance. You will know them All, because you have loved self.

And today we are going to speak on ‘love’ from the point of view of the story that you know so well, the story of the one you have called Jesus, and whom you love so dearly as Jade Fire. Let us tell you our story. But we will only refer to it from the story that you know. We are not here to make any wrongs into a right, to remove any illusions. No, we will continue with the story that you know, but we will explain it from the point of view of ‘love’.

And so we were born, in a manger you are told. But have you questioned why the Bible referred to the manger. What is the symbolism of the manger? It is the womb of the Earth. There was hay – plant kingdom, cattle – animal kingdom, our Father and Mother - human kingdom, and the three Kings of the Orient – who were those of the spiritual realm. All were conceived in the womb of the Earth. And the womb of the Earth is a gentle, simple, rustic womb. It does not need money and glamour, and large spaces, and doctors and nurses. It has it ALL. In its simplicity is its glorious mansion. The Earth does not need to show the magnificence of its abundance by building large palaces and castles. In its very simple manger was a World of Love; a love that opened itself to greet a new born babe, not yet known to many, as the King of Men. It was just a new born babe.

And then what about our dear mother, whom you have called the Virgin Mary. Why does the Bible refer to her as a Virgin? Does it mean to tell you that sex is ‘defilement’? No, not at all. That has only been a ‘version’ given to you. The Virgin Mary is the Feminine Divine Mother, untouched by the personality, in her purest SPIRIT, creating through her power; and each of you have that Divine Mother residing within you. (To Leslie) When you create, beautiful one, you become the Virgin Mary. You draw upon the purest essence of the Dear Mother and because you have so little ego, you are able to transform the essence into beautiful music. (To the group) And each one of you does this, each one, even if your creation happens to be one of making money, business. Is it not creativity? Is healing not the most divine form of the Mother’s love? So, you see, you have the Virgin Mary dwelling within you.

And what about our Dear Father Joseph? The one who gave silent, unstinting support to the beloved Virgin Mary; passing no aspersions, no criticisms, no sneering and no derision, for one who had conceived, without any act of conception. He believed completely, and stood by, tall and strong, to give his full support. And what is our Father Joseph? It is the purest essence of the male energy of the universe, the male energy that knows that it exists only to support the Divine Mother. You refer to your ‘God’ as a man, and we tell you he is not. He is no ‘man’. But neither is he ‘woman’. He is Mary and Joseph. He is Jesus and the Christ. He is ALL. He is YOU.

And so you have the Father Joseph also within you. If you could create, but not know how to put it into action, where would you be? You would be living in what you would be called a fool’s paradise, Utopia, the unattainable. And because the purest essence of male energy resides within you, it gives its support, strength, courage, power and force to your Creativity, to make it happen. And sometimes when this power lies untapped within you, the beautiful universe which you have created along with your Creator, helps you. It brings to you a partner, a friend, a wife, a husband, someone who will give you that support; someone who takes your dreams and converts them into your reality. So you have The Virgin Mary and you have the Father Joseph.

And so this infant grew. And as he grew, he was taught well. Taught how to love without question, without judgment, by his mother; taught how to love without judgment, but with discernment, from his father. And that is another lesson that you do not know. To discern is not to judge. To discern is to be able to see and acknowledge, the personality strengths and flaws in another, and like the Virgin Mary, love them unconditionally, but not blindly. Never is blind faith advocated, because if your faith were to be blind, there would be several who would be willing to teach you a lesson of how to be a little more wise in worldly ways. So you must discern, but you must not judge.

We love you so dearly, and yet do we not see that there are certain areas in each one that still need development, that still need to be worked upon? But we do not judge. No, we discern. And how will you know that you have ‘discerned’, and not ‘judged’? You will know it when you look into the eyes of another. If in those eyes, you see pain, hurt, anger, rejection, you will know that you have judged. But if in those eyes you see gratitude, gratitude for being there, for telling you something you needed to hear, but telling it to you with your arms wide open in love, with your heart emanating the rays of this beautiful emotion, then you know that you have discerned.

Often the masters tell you the ‘harshest’ things and yet you leave feeling so loved. Why? Because we DO love you; not in spite of your flaws, but because of them. Because you have your weaknesses, we love you. Because you fall and each time you fall, you rise, we love you. Because you go astray and then come home, we love you. Love is to give freedom. Love is to let go. Love is to surrender.

But you cannot do that if love is unidirectional; if love is only directed outwards. You cannot give it freedom. You have to hold it, grasp it tight, because if your object of love were not to BE, how would you love? For freedom, love must be ALL directional. But it can have only one point of focus and that is within (pointing to the heart). For love to emit in every direction, its focus has to be within. If it is here (pointing to the head), my beautiful one, it will be uni-directional (showed it going outwards, towards an external object). If it is here (pointing to the solar plexus), it will be uni-directional, turned inwards, to the ego. It cannot BE (made an all round motion). But when it emanates from here (heart) you give each one the freedom to get up and leave, and embrace while they leave you. You give each one the freedom to slap, knowing that you have another cheek which the other can also slap, if it takes away their pain.

And so this infant grew up with these lessons, and when he grew and became a wise and discerning man, he looked around and he heard, and your Bible tells you, he heard the priests in their temples laying down their rules, telling the people what is right and what is wrong, preaching only their truths, not preaching TRUTH. Truth is also like LOVE. It is not uni-directional. It has so many faces. It has as many faces as gathered here, and if your gathering were a million-fold larger it would have so many more faces, and each one would be ‘true’. In another’s lie there is truth. You perceive it as a lie, because it is not your truth. You perceive it from the brain, which is uni-directional, or you perceive it from your own insecurities and fears (solar plexus) which is uni-directional. You do not perceive it from here (heart). If you did, you would not hear a single word of dishonesty spoken. You would hear what is not your truth, and you would discern that it is not your truth, which you do not wish to accept. And in that there is no judgment. Masters have given you time and time again full freedom to reject completely every word spoken. Why? Because that is our truth in that moment; it may not be yours. Does it mean that if it comes from a Master it becomes the truth? There is no "The truth". Truth is effervescent, bubbling, changing, creating a little turmoil here and a little agitation there, and in all that ‘conflict’ bringing in the harmony that ALL IS. ALL IS. No definition required. So love sees truth. Love gives freedom. And love feels no pain.

That is the most difficult one, isn’t it? Not to feel pain. But, my beloveds, when would you feel pain? Only when the external object does not give you the validation you need. But why do you need that validation, beautiful one? Because the focus has moved from here (heart) to here (head) or here (solar plexus).

The priest might have perceived Jesus’ words and actions as ‘angry’ words and ‘harsh’ steps. But Jesus did not judge, did not show anger. No pain. He knew that the truth propagated had to now undergo a shift in evolution, a shift demanded by the shift in evolution of human kind. And he had the strength, the power, the force, the courage of Cosmic Love to stand up tall and say "I do not believe. I question. I debate. I challenge." Now if the priests, that you have read of, knew how to love, they would have loved the challenge, and loved the challenger. But they were like you, and this is where the Bible brings in you. Ah! Yes, the ones you have condemned when you read the Bible because they have hurt your beloved Jesus, is you. What is the symbolism? Humanity that judges, humanity that does not accept the truth of another, humanity that demands that my truth be the only truth, because in that is my validation for existence.

And now, beloved ones, look within for a moment. Are you not that ‘priest’ on many occasions? Are you not? When a ‘Jesus’ has stood before you in the guise of a friend, maybe you have called him an enemy, in the guise of a sister or a brother… what about a child? Can you accept? Can any parent here accept the ‘challenge’ of a child? Difficult, isn’t it? But can you see your child as ‘Jesus’ who is only asking the ‘priests of the temple’ to look at another perspective. Not to give up their own, no. Jesus never demanded that. They only heard it as such out of their own insecurity. Jesus demanded only "Be open to another perspective." Do you let yourself be open to new perspectives at all times? Then are you not the priests of the temples, my beautiful ones? And see how beautifully the Bible brings that in. It makes you dislike the priests of the temple, does it not? And that is its purpose. If you dislike what you see of self, you will shift the focus instantly. So the Bible gives it to you as a story. "Do you like it?" "No. I don’t." "But do you acknowledge it, that it is you?" "Yes, I do." "Then what is your next step." "Ah! I think I will change." Purpose resolved!!!

But the priests did not accept, and Jesus was condemned, and Jesus had to show and prove that there was another perspective, that he wasn’t propagating his truth. And how did Jesus show that? By being what he was, is, will always be... THE POWER OF LOVE. And he manifested that in his healings, in his teachings, in his acceptance of those that society condemned, taking them to heart. Embracing, giving respect, when society condemned. And what was Jesus teaching? Have you seen in the heart of a prostitute, her pain? When you read of a rapist, will you now take a moment from your contempt and violent reaction, to shift the focus of love and to view the rapist from another perspective? If there is a ‘Jesus’ in this world, there is no rapist. It is when ‘Jesus’ is dead, that rape and murder are seen as crime and sin. But Jesus walks in each one seated here. He walks tall and proud and as magnificent as he ever was. And all it needs is a shift in focus.

Then there is no right and no wrong. There is only the warmth of an embrace. And you have never witnessed the strength of an embrace. Experience it once. When you see the person you have condemned the most, standing before you, become Jesus and embrace him. Take him into your heart and you will have saved one more soul...by one embrace….unconditional, and yet discerning, embrace. The embrace is not blind. It sees all. It acknowledges a soul gone astray. Astray. Not lost, not a criminal, not a sinner, not demonic, not satanic, not one worthy of the fires of hell… only a soul gone astray. And Jesus brings him home. Your embrace is so wide and so strong, that were he not to be near you, that were he to be miles away from you, your embrace would still bring him home. But for that you have to be Jesus. Not be like Jesus. BE Jesus. And that brings you to the next lesson of love.

No fear. No fear of another’s judgment, derision, sneer, "what will the world say if I were to stand up tall and proclaim that I love Hitler? Oh! People would consider me a sociopath. Can I live with that? Can I live with 50 pairs of eyes looking at me as though I were Hitler?" And why shouldn’t you be Hitler? If you cannot be Hitler, you can never be Jesus. If you cannot be the terrorists who claimed the millions of lives, you cannot be Jesus. You have to be them, only then do you know their pain. It is only pain that turns a man, a hu-man, into what he is Not. Only pain. But you have not experienced his pain, and yet you sit in judgment.

The only ones permitted to judge in your society, without karma, are your judges, because your world has created a legal system for its administration, which is required in this stage of your evolution. It will not be so always. If you were sitting here a 100 years from now and we were to use the words "legal system" you would look questioningly at each other and say "What is that?" ‘Judge…Who is he?" But you cannot now. And so it is their task; a task that someone needs to do, and so it is done without karmic backlog, but only when the judge sits in his seat at the time of the task. At any other time, judgment creates karmic backlog. And you create it again and again, my beautiful, beautiful souls, because of fear. I must choose right. I must show morals. As you sit here today, beautiful one, if you were to sit in the court of an ancient king showing your ankles, you would have been whipped as a prostitute; whipped till you died. But you do not find it morally wrong now, do you, anymore? So what are morals, and who makes them, and who changes them? You do. And now you have the power of the Christ within you, to change it ALL.

2006 is the turning point of your evolution. We are joyous to reveal to you that the worst is now behind. With 2005 you have entered the threshold of your 4^th dimension. Welcome home!! But you have to pass that threshold. Humanity has to pass that threshold, and it must leave behind the third, and in the leaving behind, (To Zafar) little one, there is sometimes pain and conflict; but you must leave it behind. Do not carry it forward. Do not carry it forward. (To the group) Do not judge world events as catastrophes, as disasters. Send out your healing, your ‘Jesus’, your ‘Christ’, in warm embrace to those who are in pain, but do it in joy, because you can see how strongly and determinedly you are moving through that threshold, leaving the third behind. You have asked, and you have asked, "when will we leave the third behind" and it gives us joy to tell you, you already have. As your clock strikes the hour of what you will call the 31^st, the gates of the third dimension will close upon you forever. There will be no turning back. You have chosen to now move forward. And as the church bells, let them ring out the joyous news, the King of Men is born… For that is what you are. The Divine King born, born out of your pain, your conflict, your resistance. Christ walks the Earth again. Let the doors shut firmly. Never look back. And welcome the change, beautiful ones, do not resist it. When change is resisted, change that you have chosen, the universe has to work that much more to manifest it, because you are the Co-Creator. How can it disrespect what you wish? So do not resist it. Proclaim aloud to all that humanity is out of the clutches of the third dimension, that humanity has moved, that the Christ walks. Proclaim it fearlessly and say "I am the Christ".

Beloveds, yes, there is a risk of the ‘crucifixion’. But let the words of one who has experienced it, tell you…. it’s not all that bad. (Loud Laughter) Why? As every drop of blood fell upon the earth, it purified the earth, it left behind the essence of the Christ. So what if there was physical pain. When there is purification, do you even feel the pain? So if your ‘blood’ should fall, do not blame. Turn to the God that you are and say "Forgive them, they know not what they do" Tell the world, "you may crucify me, but you will never kill me. I will resurrect. I am the Life, I am the Spirit." And you will rise; again and again you will rise. And no cross will be too hard for you to bear because the Christ walks in you, and with you.

Come, hold my hands today as one who has experienced the burden of the ‘cross’, takes away all your burdens, because they are not burdens. They are joys that we accept. It is an honour for us to remove from you these ‘burdens, because you have earned this… earned this. Ah! Many of you are sitting here and saying "I have never done anything to earn this. I just came here today because so and so brought me along". My beautiful ones, you came because we called you, and we called you because we honored you. It was no random chance.

Hold our hands. We remove from you, in the Here and the Now, every single burden and cross of the third dimension that you have ever borne or will ever bear They are transmuted into Cosmic Light And Love to be replaced by the strength and the power of Cosmic Love that now arises and dwells within you. AND SO IT IS. AND SO IT IS, AND SO IT IS.

Welcome home, Christ. Welcome back to Earth, beloved, beloved Christ. Our gratitude, our gratitude for undertaking to hold this strength, and this power. Our gratitude. In this task that you have undertaken, you have freed us from a promise made to the Earth. We need never return in human form. And very soon, our dear, dear brother, the Maha-avatar Babaji, will live amongst the ‘Babaji’s’ on Earth (Pointing to Jehangir) and will return for ever to mingle his energies with ours. Welcome home.

Celebrate. Celebrate joyously the Christ that walks the earth. Embrace yourself first, and then embrace all. Let this evening be spent only in warm embrace. Do not be scared to embrace even that stranger walking on the road. He may look at you a little strangely, but he will go away with a song in his heart. And Christ will have touched another soul. Glory be to you, forever more.

(To Zafar) Great work starts for you, beloved. Great work. Look into their eyes (referring to the group). They wait for you to lead them, to guide them, to shift them from here (head) or here (solar plexus) to here (heart). (To Silla) Our Gratitude for showing them that the love of the Virgin Mary can indeed still walk the earth. (To Sohrab P.) Do not worry; all will be looked after. We give you our word. Glory be yours.
