1 Let Us Continue in the Greatest Story Ever Told! You Are Free To Enlighten the Entire Planet If You Want To! Or Let it Crumble into an Ancient Echo of Memory! You know that you love to be around beings that talk about unlimitedness, that talk about great vision. Why? Because they are reminding you that you too are a great visionary, that unlimitedness is the natural state of the Kingdom of Heaven. (WM 327) It is quite true that such a one, born of Love, can be very misunderstood by the world. Such a one, I once said, is one born like the wind. You do not know where they have been, you do not know where they are going, and neither do they. (WM 276) But they are present where they are, constantly dedicated to being merely a servant of, or a conduit of, the voice for Love recognizing that time and the world no longer hold any function, value or purpose, save that which the Holy Spirit would give it. And the only value the Holy Spirit gives the world is to see it as a context through which the Sonship can be healed and awakened. Please hear this: As the mind, the conscious mind, begins to become more informed by the voice for Love, vigilance and discipline become even more necessary, simply because you are dealing with more power more true power. The purpose of your very being takes on a far different flavor. You begin to realize that wherever you are, there is a precious moment that offers an opportunity for healing, for Love, for awakening. And it is not to be missed. Each moment of your existence in this plane of density is not to be missed! (WM 277) You are the light that lights the world. For in being whatever you have chosen to be at any moment, you are that which generates awareness of experience. And that is all that we are as the Mind of God that which generates experience for experience is the extension of creation. (WM 388) You have not failed in separating your self from your Self. You have not succeeded in shaking the hand off of your own arm. The joke has been on you, because you wanted to be "joked." In each moment of your existence, you have been the perfect expression of God. Even in the moments of your deepest so-called suffering, when you believed that everybody else had it and you did not, when you perceived yourself as being light-years from knowing God, you were the very power of God creating that perception. You are also that One who has dared to be bold enough to allow Shanti Christo into your life a rather radical organization. You created it as the context for your awakening. And you are free to use that context, that organization, to enlighten the entire planet if you want to. You are also free to let it crumble into an ancient echo of memory. There is only God, and you are That. 1

2 If we are free to use Shanti Christo to enlighten the entire planet, how, in our limited state of awareness, can we possibly make correct decisions for that fullfillment? In reality, all power under Heaven and Earth is given unto the holy Child of God. When you are presented with an opportunity, you are not presented something in which you are asked to walk alone. If you accept the Holy Spirit's function as your own, every obstacle is removed before you reach it. (WM 329) Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God? (ACIM, T 433) When you decide to fully accept the one purpose given to you, in reality, there will be nothing that will block your way. Every step you take will, literally, take you through obstacles that dissolve as you approach them. For because you abide in the Mind of God, you know no limitation. The realm of illusion what appears to be solid matter, of people with different opinions holds no power to prevent you from bringing forth the blessing that heals all illusion. (WM 219) For in the journey that began in The Way of the Heart, continued with The Way of Transformation, and begins to culminate in The Way of Knowing, you have heard me say to you countless times and in countless ways that to awaken in remembrance absolutely requires that you choose to want above all things to think with the Mind of God. (WM 303) To think with the Mind of God requires that you be taught anew. To be taught implies a willingness to learn. And a willingness to learn implies that one is willing to create a space of emptiness within that can be filled with a new substance, a new elixir, a new alchemical substance. The mind of an enlightened creator knows that of themselves, they do nothing. But in each moment of decision, they can allow the great power and mystery of Love to direct their course. They can utilize time to refine their ability to hear only the voice for Love, moment by moment, breath by breath, day by day, until time is translated into eternity. And the mind rests, reclines, in its perfect union with God. (WM 126) 2

3 Events still occur. The world is still what the world will choose to be, unaware that there walks in its midst one who is awake, who needs to make no show. They merely are the presence of wakefulness, knowing that in each moment they will now be informed by the guidance of the Comforter, the guidance of right-mindedness, the guidance of enlightenment. So that they are no longer attached to fearing, "What should I say? What should I do? How will this person take it? How will that person take it?" The world is no longer a concern. They experience their very life as an ongoing flowing mystery, as though something else were living through them. This is the meaning of my friend's words, "Let that Mind be in you which was in our Lord, Christ Jesus," as you would read in your Bible. That Mind is the Mind of perfect freedom. It does not belong to anyone, but it can be cultivated to flow through you. (WM 127) When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were being carried down a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. (ACIM, T 280) The Holy Spirit will not delay in answering your every question what to do. He knows. And He will tell you, and then do it for you. You who are tired will find this is more restful than sleep. How do we invoke the Holy Spirit s decisions if we cannot even hear Him? Say to the Holy Spirit only, "Decide for me," and it is done. For His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to anticipate all you cannot know, when all knowledge lies behind every decision the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love, and teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For you decide for them and for yourself. (ACIM, T 278) As you begin to walk a spiritual path, you realize you need to be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and that, in fact, you cannot awaken yourself because if you could, you would have already done so. Then the opportunities are presented that contain within them all that you need to awaken from your illusions, but you resist it because it does not conform to your image of yourself. (WM 334) In this The Way of Mastery, we have sought to help you dismantle your illusions, to soften your heart and your mind, and to be more and more willing to be less fearful. By becoming less fearful, you have, indeed, opened more and more to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. (WM 397) It is not true that you can make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of God's Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in and out, and influencing a constellation larger than anything you ever dreamed of. (ACIM, T 276) 3

4 How gracious it is to decide all things through Him Whose equal Love is given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside you. And so He gives you what is yours, because your Father would have you share it with Him. In everything be led by Him, and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with Love for everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole responsibility for deciding what can bring only good to everyone? Would you know this? (ACIM, T 278) I highly recommend that you establish a relationship with the Comforter as though it were a relationship with a good friend indeed, the best of friends until you reach a point in which virtually every decision is given to that Mind: Well, old buddy, should I turn left or right? (WM 256) Serve only that voice of Truth within yourself....(wm 331) Jeshua, are you going to play an active role in Shanti Christo? Beloved friend, yes. Shanti Christo is an expression of a vibration of thought, like a pebble dropped in a pond, that is created to manifest specific vibrational patterns or ripples. It will be utilized by us to attract many minds and many beings who can step through the portal into awakened consciousness. There are many portals being created. And why do there need to be many portals? Because there are many levels of consciousness and there are many forms of experience that you've all created, everyone on the planet. I am not everyone's teacher, even though I am in charge of the Atonement. So, imagine that I'm merely sitting behind a small little desk out in the meadow, and I pick up the, what you call your cordless telephone. In this case it's even a non-physical phone. And I will call another teacher, another being, and say, "You know, this one over there had a very good connection with you back in Egypt four thousand years ago. Why don't you pop down and have a little chat with them?" So there is an orchestration going on. There may seem to be many forms of the universal curriculum, many teachers, many methodologies. And yet, all of them are but portals through which the soul chooses to walk to step from fear to love, from insanity to sanity, from dreams to reality. Shanti Christo, then, is one such portal through which I specifically can activate the call and create a gathering place, if you will a gathering frequency through which I can call those to myself who, because of past resonances, past experiences, have come to love me and have come to trust me as one who can carry them over the bridge. (Death and Earth Changes CD) Yes, Shanti Christo has a role to play, and rest assured there is a safety mechanism built into this vibration. This vibration cannot be manipulated or used for personal gain. It cannot be misdirected, for the mind that may be attracted to it and then sort of bounces off and goes to the left or right is one that merely realizes that this vibration requires what is your phrase the "getting real". This is a vibration and a portal that helps souls step into the next vibration. 4

5 The second thing that I wish to share with you this day is that the power of the lineage is available to you. For in the first moment you chose to read these lessons, you entered through the portal of an initiation. And transfiguration has continued from that moment, to the degree you have been willing to allow it. In that moment, you plugged into the circuitry of the lineage. We are with you wherever you go. (WM 397) For no one would come into my presence, no one would come into communication with this group of beings masters, teachers, friends, who choose as a group to be known as simply "the lineage," for which I remain the primary spokesman who has not already desired healing, awakening, and remembrance. (WM 303) You are, indeed, going through the process of transfiguration, and you are adding to the power of this lineage, to bring about the restoration of Heaven on Earth, and the re-establishment of the Christ Mind throughout the Sonship. And even when the body drops, you will be "assigned to a new office," that is all. (WM 398) The Way of Transformation does, indeed, require commitment, a deliberate choice. This can be the value, by the way, of initiatory experiences. And, not too far in the distant future, we will be helping to inform Shanti Christo, so that initiatory experiences are offered and provided. The value of this is that it makes conscious and public what the soul is desiring and calls the conscious mind to step into a deeper self-discipline, a deeper self-commitment, a deeper self-maturity. (WM 276) For what I specifically seek to do in The Way of Mastery and this specific work you know and call as Shanti Christo, is the birthing of a multitude of Christs that dwell upon your Earth at the same time. It has never been done before! (WM 120) Imagine a world with ten million awakened children of God fully awake not just as a belief or an idea, but who have mastered fear, who no longer live in doubt whatsoever, and who are busy creating universes that mirror perfectly the Kingdom of Heaven. Imagine it if you dare! Therefore, understand well, that what will be coming in the future is a growing body of those maturing in the way of the Christ Mind, maturing in the level of commitment, because they will come to see the extraordinary role that they are playing in a much bigger picture than their own personal lives. The family will indeed, grow. And much is being put into place for this to occur. (WM 399) Therefore, the invitation has, indeed, been extended. And it is not by accident that some have chosen to step forward, some to wait in the wings, and some to deny it as totally ridiculous. If there was no thought of ridiculousness, the drama of bringing Heaven to Earth would not be what it is. Therefore, know well, not only do I support this vision, this dream, this transformation, but I am enjoined in this process wholeheartedly, as I am with many endeavors that are aspects of the transformation occurring in human consciousness. I never tire of seeking out any mind anywhere that is willing to think a new thought. (Heart of SC) 5

6 Therefore indeed, embrace that which you are, honor that which you are, extend that which you are. Go and teach all nations. Let them know that I have come again and that this expression called Shanti Christo, shall become increasingly, a primary vehicle through which the lineage is creating the vortex, the portal, the initiation, the energy of transfiguration that will quicken in its enlightenment, or atonement, of the Sonship. (WM 399) How long has the lineage been developing Shanti Christo for our awakening? Beloved friends, know well that we who would come unto you, we that have been coming unto you since the day and hour and moment that this work began, have always been a "we" and not just an "I" as Jeshua ben Joseph. (WM 393) For there are, indeed, many of us who are linked together, in what we call "the lineage," that extends far back in your history of time, creating what you might call in your scientific terms a resonance of energy that links the Mind of the Creator through the epochs of time, through many individual minds, even unto this moment. (WM 394) It is, indeed, that lineage that brought forth the strand of salvation that culminated in my incarnation as Jeshua ben Joseph. The script was written thousands of years before. The linkages of energy were created generation unto generation unto generation unto generation, culminating in the birth of me as a man, who opened to the Reality of Abba as the only Reality through which the Creator could extend the perfect Love of Himself, and make it visible to His children abiding in the spell, or under the spell of illusion. That work has never ceased. And, indeed, let it be known that this work that is done through Shanti Christo is an extension of and a collaboration with the entirety of that lineage, that strand of light, extending from the Mind of God into the forms of time with one purpose to awaken every aspect of the Sonship. And what can the Sonship be but the extension of God into form, into that which appears as an individual that which can create, that which can enter into holy relationship, that which can remember the fullness of Abba, while being the particular individual in the field of space and time. The lineage never ceases working in establishing the network of light that allows the expression of this light visibly through this vehicle called Shanti Christo. We recognize well that as you live your personal lives, seemingly many, many miles from one another, often with little third dimensional contact, it is easy for the mind to cast a spell upon you that not much is occurring. And yet I say unto you: It will occur with or without you. (WM 399) The invitation then, is to take up your rightful place by stepping into full commitment for this extraordinary expression that shall indeed, eventually touch all corners of your planet. That has been its purpose since long, long, long ago. The birthing of Shanti Christo is perfectly an expression of that which was just as important called my birth, and my crucifixion and resurrection. It's all part of the same script. 6

7 Something in you has attracted you to me. Something in you has attracted you to the lineage. Something in you resonated with Shanti Christo. For those words carry the vibration of the call, that I have told you from a time quite ancient, you would one day "hear" as you become "quickened from the dead," to use a Christian phrase. The awakening of the soul, the call back home to the family, to the lineage, to the purpose of the atonement. (WM 400) Who is part of this lineage? You you reading these words are of infinite importance in the expression of this work that is called Shanti Christo. More than an organization, and much more than a sacred piece of land to which many, someday, will come and will be healed that is, will enter into the Christ Mind just by the power of stepping into the vortex of purity that has been established there. (WM 398) You are already in that process. As that purity is established in you, you are literally affecting the creation and extension and expansion of the vortex on that land that has existed for a very long time. It is a portal, a doorway there are many names that can be used that takes the mind and transports it into other realms. It is transfiguring to simply abide on that land. Therefore, understand well your great importance. Many of you will perceive that you are merely a receiver through this organization. Yet, as you receive, you are giving, and as you give, you receive. You are a part of the lineage the field of energy creating a vortex that has the power to overcome illusions. Many of you are seeing this in your personal lives. (WM 399) You are, literally, witnessing the forerunning effects of what is to come, when the day will arise when no one will need to say a word. And yet, through the gathering of the lineage, individuals who are attracted will heal spontaneously and immediately drop into enlightenment. One asks for help; another hears and tries to answer in the form of help. This is the formula for salvation, and must heal.... One wholly egoless therapist could heal the world without a word, merely by being there. No one need see him or talk to him or even know of his existence. His simple Presence is enough to heal. (ACIM - PPP, P 7) The purpose, then, of the lineage has never changed. And it has, indeed, gained in power through practice and through adding to its numbers. Imagine then a field of energy that attracts minds floating by it. As those minds begin to resonate with the message or the word of God, as it is being expressed through this energy field, this lineage, they become like unto the field of energy itself. As one of us once said and is still recorded in your Bible: "Let that Mind be in you which was also in the one we have chosen to call our Lord, the one known as Jeshua ben Joseph or the Christ." (WM 394) This is the invitation to the Holy Spirit. I have said already that I can reach up and bring the Holy Spirit down to you, but I can bring Him to you only at your own invitation. 7

8 The Holy Spirit is in your right mind, as He was in mine. The Bible says, "May the mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus," and uses this as a blessing. It is the blessing of miracle-mindedness. It asks that you may think as I thought, joining with me in Christ thinking. (ACIM, T 73) When Paul wrote those words, he was referring to just this process in which you, under the spell of separation, release the spell and begin to resonate with the Mind of the Christ. And you begin to take up your seat within this expanding lineage of light a direct descendant, a direct disciple of God. (WM 394) All of you are part of this. This is how extraordinary you are! And this is the invitation that we constantly extend to you. Think not that that which is called Shanti Christo is simply another worldly organization. The deepest levels of transfiguration are already occurring through this lineage, through this strand or ray of light. (WM 399) Therefore, indeed, be prepared, for much, what you might call new information will be given. There will be quite specific things given and taught to help align the energetic of this family, to increase the power, the magnitude of the light that it sends forth, for it is the expression of Light which is singular and not conflicted that creates miracles. And through miracles, those yet sleeping can be stirred to waking. Just as each and every one of you now listening to these words has been stirred by some form of a miracle that has touched your heart and your mind and the cells of your body, and reminded you of an ancient and perfect truth...and awakened you to the recognition that the bell has rung. The family is coming back together at that time well prophesied. And all of you know that I am your friend, and that I promised you I would come for you in the end of time, to set all things aright, and to make all things new again, by the joining of our power in a perfect sacred intimacy of holy relationship. (Friends of SC) or (Heart of SC) Why are holy relationships important to Shanti Christo? The Messiah is not one individual, but the collective of the Christ Mind, enacted, re-cognized, and expressed through the choice for holy relationship. That is the only choice that matters. And anything else is the choice to adhere in the worn-out pattern of illusions and in illusions that can only be pain and suffering and aloneness and death. But in holiness there is true intimacy, and in true intimacy there is transcendence of space and time and bodies. And in the transcendence of time is the return of peace. And in the return of peace, it is as if the dream never was. (Heart of SC) In this world, God's Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he begins to find the certainty his Father has in him. And there he finds his function of restoring his Father's laws to what was held outside them, and finding what was lost.... So do the parts of God`s son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of eternity. No one who has a single purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid. No one who shares his purpose with him can not be one with him. (ACIM, T 434) 8

9 For ultimately the only relationship that is real is the holy relationship between the Son and His Father or between the Daughter and the Goddess, if you will. I really don't care what words you use, and I'll let you in on a secret: my Father doesn't care either. (Jeshua on HR) Understand well, then, that I call you forth to join with me in that which could be called the frequency or vibration of Shanti Christo. The Peace of Christ is that vibration or frequency that must come to all minds in all dimensions in all worlds, like a note struck from a crystal glass that resonates throughout the whole of Creation. This very sound of it soothes all ripples upon the oceans of Creation and restores all things to the perfect holiness found only in the union of Father and Son, Creator and Created, God and Christ. (Friends of SC) or (Heart of SC) You are the one bold enough to have dreamed the dream of separation, and you now, in the only moment that can ever exist which is now have the power to manifest the Peace of Christ upon this Earth. Beloved and holy friends, I come forth to abide with you as merely your brother and your friend. Remember always that a brother or a sister is not someone who is above you, but who is your equal. Remember always that a friend is one who has chosen deliberately to see in you the perfection of Christ and all greatness that can be birthed through you until you are willing to see yourself in such a light. Then, that friend joins with you in holy relationship to create, to play, and to extend the Truth of Reality. (WM 341) And don t forget, I am holding your hand. Not because you need my strength, but because I love being with you. Because you are my Father s Creation, and in embracing you and walking with you, in being your Friend, being your co-collaborator, I experience the infinite joy of remembering who I am. And you thought you needed me. Can you come to see, beloved friends, you are Christ Incarnate, and it is at your feet that I bow. And by bowing before you in the recognition of who you are, I remember who I am. And if this is true for me, it is true for you. Would you, then, practice looking upon everyone you see as the Messiah? (Friends of SC) or (Heart of SC) Are you saying that through holy relationships we have the power to manifest Shanti Christo on this planet? Those of you that are choosing to join forth as this family in this grand experiment, hold the attitude of playfulness. Use your very relationship to the idea of Shanti Christo as an opportunity to discover where you might still be lingering in the shadows of limitation. Come to see that you you, the listener to these very words, are the one who has the power to manifest Shanti Christo. Don t wait on anybody else. You are that one. And by choosing to live as if unlimitedness and Heaven in Earth were already present, you will discover that you are the one who is the maker of all worlds. You are the Redeemer of all worlds. 9

10 Come, then, to see that as this family grows, and as you create your celebrations together, you are coming together to practice removing the obstacles to Love s presence through the practice of recognizing the face of Christ in everyone that you look upon. Creating, then, the practice, the learning of that vibrational frequency, so that you will come to see the face of Christ, the presence of the Messiah, in everyone. And you will love them and honor them and praise them and appreciate them, and you will give thanks for the blessing that their presence brings you. It doesn t matter what they think of themselves; it only matters what you choose to think of them. (Friends of SC) or (Heart of SC) To share with one another from a point of equality, of seeing no one as above you and no one as below you, and seeing not yourself as more perfect than another. But to see that you are one another, and to realize that it is in the sharing of your journey, the willingness to listen and to love, that brings healing to the heart and to the soul. And forever the soul, which is the Son of God, is one. Though there be many bodies and personalities attached, you are of one Mind and one Heart. And when you choose to join together, you have chosen the creation of holy relationship, and even in these few moments you have extended the Holy Instant unto one another. (Jeshua) Shanti Christo, then, is like a beacon that calls each heart to rise above its own self-created limitations individually and, therefore, collectively. To support one another, to love one another, to guide one another, be patient with one another, to envision with one another, to empower one another, to teach each other that you are each the Messiah, and to no longer be willing to tolerate any thoughts of limitation. (Friends of SC) or (Heart of SC) Does Shanti Christo s success depend on Holy Relationships? First: What is Shanti Christo but that pure and ever-present perfectly innocent, and completely awakened vibration which is peace. The Peace of the Christ cannot do violence or injustice to the divine principles of the Father's will. The Father's will is only that his children be perfectly happy. And perfect happiness requires that each unto another is fully devoted to utilizing relationship for no other purpose than to make happy. Therefore, Shanti Christo succeeds when any one individual submits to that frequency, or Vibration, of the Peace of Christ, and then makes the necessary changes so that their gestures, their words, and their actions are fully devoted to holy relationship as an act of making happy. Therefore, the degree to which this can manifest must flow out of the initial, or the primary, or the present relationships that are occurring within Shanti Christo. To the degree, then, that at any time holiness is not being, shall we say, generated, then there can be no progress and there may even need to be a period of purging before the seed well planted will be further nurtured by me in its unfolding. Remember then always, that the only thing anyone can do to serve Shanti Christo is to continually be willing to heal more deeply within and to express that healing more and more masterfully, if you will, in all of the moments of your relationships dedicated to holiness. And again, holiness, the Peace of Christ, cannot, be out of alignment with the divine principles of the Father's will. 10

11 Now, within that answer I have spoken to you of exactly why the seedling has sprouted only as far as it has and no further. I have given unto you the very jewel or gem that should be shared and expressed constantly to anyone who would participate in this. Remember always that it has been like this since the beginning. And the beginning did not just occur in this incarnation, but rather my very manifestation into the field of space and time as a human being, is, indeed that expression of the Father's will that his children be perfectly happy and therefore he birthed me as the personified manifestation of the essence, which is Christ, of all beings so that they could see their essence, so that they could feel their essence, so they could hear their essence. I am indeed that one that was birthed from the mind of God to fulfill the simple role of demonstrating the truth of all beings to themselves that they might begin to remember and be quickened, shall we say, toward returning home. Therefore, the true essence of this work, then, is the return to holiness in the mind of the individual, which is then expressed in the cherished and sacred realm of relationship, seeing that one's only purpose is to make happy. God established His relationship with you to make you happy, and nothing you do that does not share His purpose can be real. The purpose God ascribed to anything is its only function. Because of His reason for creating His relationship with you, the function of relationships became forever "to make happy." And nothing else. To fulfill this function you relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created but would extend happiness as its Creator did. Whatever does not fulfill this function cannot be real. (ACIM, T 357) This can only be accomplished when there is giving and not getting, offering and not taking, receiving and honoring. Now making happy is not to be thought of in the egoic way. One does not make happy by being a doormat. One does not make happy by assuaging the ego wounds of another. The only way to make happy is to be in the remembrance that only love is real, to abide in perfect forgiveness, and to teach only love. Putting Your Purpose into Practice You abide in the world in which the business of your reality is to extend only Love. Be you, therefore, not afraid of the world. For when seen through the eyes of the enlightened soul that accepts its oneness with God, the world of space and time is perfectly benign and has no purpose whatsoever except to serve Christ in the extension of Love. (WM 317) 11

12 This is why anyone who comes to answer only the voice for Love miraculously finds that the universe comes to support that one in ways that the egoic mind can never understand. Miracles do occur as creation flows from a mind unencumbered with the pressures of trying to make life go the way it thinks it needs it to go. (WM 318) And here we begin to touch upon the essence of my teaching: I need do nothing. This is not a passive state, of just accepting the fact that, "I need to do nothing so I'll just show up, and follow my impulses and not think too deeply or wonder what I'm doing. I really don't need to do anything, since none of it matters." That is not it at all. It means quite actively to learn and master the art of "you do need to do nothing" to find that spaciousness within you in which you are willing to allow that voice within you that is eternally connected to your Source to be the vehicle through which you receive your guidance. In the pure recognition that you have no purpose save the extension of Love. Now you need but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should do. When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization; "I need do nothing." (ACIM, T 389) Save time for me by only this one preparation, and practice doing nothing else. "I need do nothing" is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation. More and more, the voice for Love begins to inform the decisions, the thought processes, the vision, the revelation, and in your world, the action or behavior that is expressed through the temporary coalescing of energy into the illusion of a body. (WM 272) If you would be a creator, you will need to give up striving, for striving is part of the world of making. And you will need to give yourself permission to cultivate a mastery of allowing. Allowing is not passivity. Allowing is not sitting on your pillow waiting for the universe to manifest good things in your life. Allowing is an act of turning within, appreciating your oneness with God, and simply asking: Father, what would you like to create in this moment? (WM 347) Suddenly, a thought comes. The thought reveals you driving your car thirty-five miles to see a friend and inviting them to dinner. Well, then, get on with it! Driving your car for thirty-five miles is an act that takes energy. It is not a passive act at all. 12

13 Allowing is a very powerful state of being, for allowing does not resist anything in the field of action anything! And if you are asked to create a retreat center in northern New Mexico, well, you simply get on with it, even though you have no idea how it is going to come to pass. You merely make yourself available and you show up. (WM 348) You already abide where we are. Trust this. Know this. Rely on this. Explore The Way of the Heart and you will come to know the truth of Love.... Let peace pervade your being at all times. Know that you are safe in the Love of God that arises from that great Source of mystery and would move through you with every breath you breathe and every word you speak, until you hear only that impetus of guidance that wells up from the depth of your being as a gentle voice that you trust completely. And you will know the freedom that you seek. (WM 69) Beloved friends, I come to where you choose to be. And if you would choose to open that place within the heart and within the mind in which you can communicate with me directly, I will meet you there as well. (WM 2) You Have Come with a Mission Indeed, then, beloved friends, you cannot have an ordinary day any longer. You might as well accept the fact that you have come with a mission. You are a bringer of light, a bringer of a new day or a new dawn. You are that which extends the Love of God into creation by your willingness to let the light transfigure your humanity. Your humanity is transfigured as you embrace your humanity and see it all as sacred. (WM 400) For the spell of illusion is to believe that life as a body-mind is a mistake. That it is a fearful world. That one is limited and small, that the only thing you can do is put all your energy into trying to survive. That all you can do is block your feelings and pretend they are not there in an attempt to deny the power of the Christ that you are. The power to bring the miracle of Love and remembrance and atonement to each moment. You are, indeed, unlimited in all ways forever. The mind that serves the Holy Spirit is the Christ Mind, the Mind of Abba, the Self of your very soul they are all the same. And the mind that serves the Holy Spirit is, indeed, unlimited forever. And this Self is part of an extraordinary family, the lineage that can, indeed, be traced through the Jewish nation, the Jewish families, and can be traced even back before that lineage, that family, that nation was birthed. It shapes itself back through Egypt, back through Persia. It has some roots in ancient India. And it, indeed, has roots beyond this physical Earth. You, therefore, are not alone. And your role should never be minimized by you. Please understand that the culmination of The Way of Knowing has been the desire and attempt to invite you more and more and more deeply into knowing the Truth of who you are and what you are here to do, into awakening as Christ. 13

14 And yes, we know that the mind hits its points of fear and must plateau out for a week or a year or ten lifetimes before it is willing to step further. Yet you are free, even in the midst of your deepest fears to say, "Yes!" to transfiguration. For darkness holds no power over light. It is always when you are at the point of your greatest sense of darkness, or your greatest feeling that the light just cannot quite get into you, that you could not possibly ever be enlightened it is at that moment that you need only invite the light. And the light begins to transform the darkness. It is when you are at your edge of darkness that the dawn is but a breath away. (WM 401) As you transfigure your humanity, you are transfiguring the energy field of humankind, pure and simple. You are incarnating Christ into the world. You are resurrecting and awakening the dead into Life eternal. Take up, then, your rightful place and begin to give up hiding your light under a bushel. It is, indeed, time to start standing up to be counted as one who is committed to the transfiguration of human consciousness, through the lineage of the Christ Mind, pure and simple. Step Forward You are extraordinarily important. You must begin to discipline the mind to not perceive yourself as a small part, not to perceive yourself as separate from one another, to begin to take action to create the lines of communication, even in the third dimensional realm. It is time for you as individuals to step forward in the birthing of Shanti Christo, instead of waiting upon the handful that seems to have gone a little further ahead. You are that One you, the reader of these words. If you will but step forward, the whole power of the lineage will support you. So, the invitation is indeed bold. And the "stakes" have always been high. It is the great dream to transform the dream of separation into the dream of perfect remembrance. You are not small. And you are not alone. Many of you are beginning to be more deeply aware that you too, hear me. Let that process continue and deepen. Become an equal conduit which extends the atonement through the Mind of Christ, through that which is called Shanti Christo, through you. For this work to reach its fulfillment in the quickest possible time requires the invitation of this lineage to you a part of this lineage: Where can you step forward with greater boldness, support of light and move through it? Where can you drop the pebble into the pond that radiates the vibration of this lineage through you out into the world? For the world holds no power over you. (WM 402) 14

15 The power to work miracles belongs to you. I will provide the opportunities to do them, but you must be ready and willing. Doing them will bring conviction in the ability, because conviction comes through accomplishment. The ability is the potential, the achievement is its expression, and the Atonement, which is the natural profession of the children of God, is the purpose. (ACIM, T 8) Many of you feel somewhat fearful of telling your friends and neighbors that you are reading The Way of Mastery that contains the guidance of Jesus, or Jeshua. That very fear that you feel, that constriction, is karmic. Somewhere a long time ago, you decided that following your own pathway must stay concealed and is not worth very much that nobody will agree, and that their opinions decide your worth. (WM 337) You can do anything I ask. I have asked you to perform miracles, and have made it clear that miracles are natural, corrective, healing and universal. There is nothing they cannot do, but they cannot be performed in the spirit of doubt or fear. When you are afraid of anything, you are acknowledging its power to hurt you. Remember that where your heart is, there is your treasure also. You believe in what you value. If you are afraid, you are valuing wrongly. Your understanding will then inevitably value wrongly, and by endowing all thoughts with equal power will inevitably destroy peace. That is why the Bible speaks of "the peace of God which passeth understanding." This peace is totally incapable of being shaken by errors of any kind. It denies the ability of anything not of God to affect you. This is the proper use of denial. It is not used to hide anything, but to correct error. It brings all error into the light, and since error and darkness are the same, it corrects error automatically. (ACIM, T 19) The world will tell you, "Do not trust the impulse of the heart." Not the impulse of the ego or the mind, but the impulse of the heart. Yet, it is in the heart that the guidance of the Holy Spirit speaks. (WM 330) You are like one who carries a magic wand filled with such power that you could merely wave it upon the face of this Earth and extend the Kingdom of Heaven to every heart and every mind. What, then, can prevent the expression of such power? The fear you have made to replace the reality of Love. (WM 183) Rest assured, illusion within an illusory world can seem to hold great power. But all power has been given unto you. All power under Heaven and Earth is given unto the holy Child of God. And that power dwells within you as the Life of your life, the breath of your breath, the Truth of your truth, the being of your being, and the joy of your joy. There has never been an illusory creation that has ever, in truth, threatened it. Nor can any illusion take reality from you. (WM 85) Your holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance and limits of any kind. Your holiness is totally unlimited in its power because it establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. (ACIM, W 58) 15

16 Through your holiness the power of God is made manifest. Through your holiness the power of God is made available. And there is nothing the power of God cannot do. Your holiness, then, can remove all pain, can end all sorrow, and can solve all problems. It can do so in connection with yourself and with anyone else. It is equal in its power to help anyone because it is equal in its power to save anyone. My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its power to save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish. (ACIM, W 96) There is nothing my holiness cannot do. (ACIM, W 58) See FAQ page for source of the next three questions. What is the main lesson we need to learn to be able to serve Shanti Christo? The essential lesson can be stated in this way: What is created by God can only be what serves awakening from the world, and can only be served by those who have fully learned the first of all lessons, desire God above all things. Where any secret purpose is injected, God's creations cease to be God's. For God and ego cannot coexist. Yet what is birthed from God works perfectly in the undoing of ego, where desire for God is sufficiently strong. And thus you now know, Shanti Christo has always worked perfectly, and always will, regardless of the length of time it appears in the realm of form. When all called to this path take pause, and celebrate the perfection of this gift given by grace, and thus accept that only God's plan can work, Shanti Christo will be freed of the injection of special purposes, which has occurred in many minds within it's orbit. It will thus be freed to move as God's plan requires. Summarize your lesson as follows: I celebrate and give thanks for the majesty of God's plan, I surrender any illusions I may have succumbed to, and release Shanti Christo into the hands of it's creator, now. 16

17 If the ego cannot be involved in Shanti Christo, what egoic characteristics do we have to be concerned with? Shanti Christo can only serve the purpose for which it was first extended into your mind, as it signifies only a vibration or quality of the Peace of Christ, it can only be served by those whose own commitment is to abide in that same quality. It can only extend through you and others, to the degree in which you, and others, remain committed to wanting only that. It has been shared with you that no one who has come to serve Shanti Christo, has come without secret or hidden purposes. It is now time to be more specific. The only quality this creation can serve is the Peace of Christ. It cannot, by it's very essence, serve any egoic quality. These include security, recognition, family (as a substitute for what is not healed in one's past), fame, wealth, being served by others, and special dispensation. Now we will look with you at each of these specifically. SECURITY - The ego believes it lacks and thus secretly seeks to feed off anyone or anything it perceives may offer what it lacks. The desire for ego's security is the opposite of the Peace of Christ. Which recognizes this: There is no security in the world or the body, nor need there be. Christ does not act to secure security. RECOGNITION - The ego believes it is not seen, and would seek out contexts it perceives may offer what it lacks. The desire for recognition is the opposite of the Peace of Christ, which recognizes this, I am always seen of the Father. No mind dreaming the world is capable of seeing me as I am. Thus any strategy for gaining this must bitterly fail. Christ does not act to gain recognition. FAMILY - No Soul incarnates without the secret hope that it can make a family which unconditionally receives it as a way of proving the body and the world can succeed at replacing God. To the, to the degree that this has failed in the perception of ego there will an attempt to find, make or draw in a group of others. These others are secretly required the role ego assign's them, and thus and such family is doomed to failure. When the inevitable occurs, the ego will select the appropriate perceptions it would make of them in order to "murder" them through judgment. It must do this or face it's own undoing by accepting the presence of its secret goals. Remember that projection is the act of throwing off what you do not wish to embrace as self created. The desire for family is the opposite of the Peace of Christ, which recognizes this: No one is needed, for no lack exists. My Family is the Trinity, Father, Son & Holy Spirit. All others are temporary manifestations of my own self, and serve no function but to offer me opportunities to learn forgiveness, by which I am freed of illusion, and to be used by Love to heal the world as I am healed as well. I cannot leave or lose my true Family, except in ego's dream of bodies. Christ makes no Family, but joins with others to celebrate that the true Family is given and shared by all, if they want only Peace. 17

18 FAME - While this illusion involves recognition, it goes further. It is a deeper sickness, in that one wishes to be set above others. Fame is the attempt to make recognition special in ones own eyes, demanding that others see you as you wish you were. Fame must be the opposite of the Peace of Christ, which recognizes, I am all others, how could I be above them. Since I am always perfectly seen, perfectly provided for, and in no need of family, fame has no meaning. Christ makes no attempt to secure fame, and passes all adoration directed to the famous one, upward to God. WEALTH - The attempt to gather matter for oneself, always expresses the presence of ego, which fears lack, because it chooses to believe in it. The Peace of Christ sees no personal lack, and thus is without need to gather into barns. The Father always provides for the Son when such provision serves the extension of Peace. When ego usurps this and decides what provision shall look like or provide, the flow is impeded until the mind accepts correction. Christ does not seek wealth, for it receives the presence of God fully. BEING SERVED BY OTHERS - "I deserve" is ego's staunch cry. Christ knows it is already cared for, thus where could deserving arise? God's Love is not earned. The insanity of this cry reveals that the mind clearly believes it lacks and that it's secret strategy of giving or doing in order to get is justified and necessary. Christ recognizes that it is already served by God's presence and that Peace is only sustained by offering it to others through the following: forgiveness, kindness, non-injurious thoughts or actions, prayer, and resting in the lack of lack, prior to every gesture, word and deed. The secret desire to be served by others is but the expression the ego's cunning attempt to get, through any of its strategies, which include violence, stealing, manipulation and even pretending to offer service. "Because I once gave, you are indebted to me forever, and must demonstrate this by serving me in the manner I have secretly assigned you" is hardly a thought possible for Christ to think. For Christ giving is the movement of God into the world, and thus, already, Christ has been paid through the Love of God. For Christ merely allows the flow of God, as an extension of what serves the atonement. Christ does not seek to be served, requiring nothing in return. And lastly, SPECIAL DISPENSATION - The ego may usurp the gifts revealed through God's grace for its own secret purposes. It will demand security. It will demand recognition because it believes it's special. It will seek to attract family for un-holy purposes, because it believes it is separate, and it will demand homage of those who come. It will seek fame in order to feed off the dispensation given. It will seek wealth to gain security of the body. It will require being served by others, to secure it's needs to be above others and to be special. Christ knows that dispensation is meant as a gift to all from God through the mind or soul. Ownership is laughable, for what purpose could it serve. The joy of Christ is in sharing dispensation. 18
