Out of all of Yeshua's teachings, in the Way of Mastery and in the ancient scriptures (which are one and the same) the First Axiom of Truth:-
'I and my Father are One.'
And from Lesson two the Way of the Heart:
I am Pure Spirit, undefiled and unaffected by anything or anyone. I am given full power to choose and, therefore, to create my experience as I would have it be...
I am only this, and in each moment, regardless of what I believe I see, regardless of the feelings that arise within my awareness, I, and I alone, am wholly one hundred percent responsible for them. No one has caused them, no great force in the universe has made this perception well up within my consciousness. I have selected it.'
From this ground breaking radical viewpoint, is woven the tapestry of Atonement, and asks me to look constantly and be ever vigilant of what I'm giving to the world. For all true giving, I must first have had to received, and if I have not yet received, what am I offering to my brother and sister?
This teaching, puts to the test and brings into our awareness all manner of strategies and reactions to maintain those castle walls of ego. Every reaction from ego, is a form of suffering that you can literally feel in yourself (as a resonance) and in what we have called 'the other'.
All suffering is a call to go inwards and not outwards, as I hear what Yeshua calls ‘the gnat’ or small self, shouting at me to react to your reactions, I can witness it and notice how I feel. I can notice if I feel scared, or sad, or angry or resentful... The magnet is to do the same old pattern and ‘protect the castle walls’. What's beyond that magnet?
All of my attention can go into the yearning for God, that powerful birthing centre, as the offspring of God, that is created 'in the image'. My entire consciousness, in that moment that I'm triggered or want to react, can be shifted very slightly via the breath and feeling communion, like removing of a single card out of the deck of cards that up until this moment — that precious choice point— have remained in exactly the same pattern, just asking to be loved into fruition and then 'death' as they are returned back to God.
Every single moment is like this: a huge leap of faith to trust God that I'm truly with you, even as you're angry or scared of me, and I can tune into you and love you anyway, or I can continue to suffer in my reaction to you.
To me this is the grand threshold to truly awaken past the dream. Can I love you, whilst you play out your dream? Can I love you even as you persecute, judge, criticise, project your ideas about 'me', can I let go of the magnet to retort? What happens when I do that and rest in breath?
In 'Healing' — The Early Years; Vol I— some words that really stood forward for me were these two excerpts:-
(p27) If you are the arisen Christ—and I assure you that you are—you will want to embrace the very process of insuring that no trace of illusion remains within you. You will not deceive yourself. You will not lie to yourself. And when those shadows are made present to your consciousness, you will give thanks to the Holy Spirit and to the brothers and sisters that have thrown them into your face, because they are messengers of God. They are saying,
Here, look at this, so that you can embrace it and release it.
'(p28) Fear not shadows, because you are made of Light, a Light so powerful that it can dissolve shadows in the instant you truly choose to embrace them and acknowledge them. That is how powerful each of you truly is. And the day comes when you no longer need helpers to dissolve those shadows, because with their help you have learned it’s safe to embrace them, that they hold no power of mastery over you’.'(p28) Fear not shadows, because you are made of Light, a Light so powerful that it can dissolve shadows in the instant you truly choose to embrace them and acknowledge them. That is how powerful each of you truly is. And the day comes when you no longer need helpers to dissolve those shadows, because with their help you have learned it’s safe to embrace them, that they hold no power of mastery over you’.
In the Aramaic Beatitudes, beatitude five is an absolute turning point. I can no longer see you as something other than 'me'. Your pain is my pain — I can FEEL it! — your choice to continue to be asleep in this moment, is something that I'm no longer concerned with —not because I’m arrogant and dismiss you— but because all I have inside is a burning, yearning core, that only wants to see you exactly as you are, because that is me and I want all of myself:-
(p41) ‘A true healer knows that they heal nothing. A true healer knows that they fix nothing. The truest among them simply makes themself available and learns to speak a language that the one who perceives themselves as sick or diseased can understand and they will abide with them and they will speak that language and they will use their modalities that they have learned, but all the while they know who it is that will affect the healing.’
(Healing Vol I- The Early Years, the Way of Mastery)
What truly helps someone, is my own vigilance for the Kingdom. How much have I thinned my resistance (ego or separate self) when I respond to you? How much of ‘me’ (the part that’s ego or asleep) is still answering when you speak? How receptive am I to what you are sharing? And how fully can I receive the light of Shemaya (Heaven) as you share, even if it is a reaction?
When I am in resistance to our Oneness, because I see you as ‘other’, I will not join with you in Love and I will detect fear, resistance and suffering as a result of that. The body will feel tense. The heart will be racing, the mind controlling the body, will be spinning and not in peace. We cannot react and not suffer. And if I am willing to be truly honest about this, I will not withhold this truth either from myself, or you.
There is a very real and direct ‘translation’ that happens when we truly see that our brother or sister's suffering and pain is ours, literally experienced within our own consciousness, no matter which body it seems to belong to. What's been translated is the shift of language from ego: 'you're separate and outside of me' to: I feel you, I see you, I know who you are: Christ incarnate. No matter what the brother or sister says or does, a deeper yearning for penetration with Light to see into what may yet be keeping me fully receiving from God and in ‘split-mindedness’ will be the primary desire.
It is not a gentle shift of awareness, it is the brilliant power of illumination—birthing power— that comes from desiring God above all things of the world. And it is a daily surrender into the joy and wonder of being opened in that One. Which, in turn, unfolds that desire from a spark to begin with, into a compassionate furnace of a heart, that sees no ‘other’ but knows the effort of will it takes to maintain living from ego and the suffering that ensues.
All throughout the Way of Mastery, Jeshua repeats that same axiom ‘I and my Father are One’ in a multitude of different ways. But ultimately, the simplicity of the teaching is that you embody it. You live it, breathe it and in so doing, transcend this world of suffering.
How can we truly embrace this axiom, that ‘there’s nothing outside of me’?
The way that I have been taught and many of us have, is that we find ourselves (through Grace or what some call Spirit) in a situation that perhaps brings into our awareness a burning passion of remembrance of who we truly are. And how is this orchestrated?!
Perhaps a breath and meditation retreat is enough to open up something, where there is a crack in the armour of our ego’s thought system. Enough of a crack that we can start to see snippets of ourselves in our brother and sister’s reactions and instead of reacting, we may start to remember through the vehicle of breath and light of Shem (Holy Spirit), that the reaction is covering up or masking some hurt in them and that hurt is also recognisable in ourselves.
At first we may not want to admit this! It may be the first inkling of desire that comes from the quality of childlike wonder and innocence to look beyond misperceptions born in the conditioning of a separate sense of self, what we’ve always been told is the truth of our reality. And just like a child, we may need more questions answered!
In my own journey with this pathway and with my communications with Ascended Masters Yeshua, Mary Magdalene, the shift came to ‘stay with you’—even as I’m triggered, the body feels tense and I feel scared— happened as a result of desiring to know what I remembered as Soul; what I had been witness to in visions and revelations and the power of how quickly that remembrance transformed me. By being willing and courageous enough to stay with myself and you, over and over again, no matter how many attempts it takes, I discovered that the part that appears to be ‘other’ knows that it’s been seen through and there is a true and very real felt connection established. What is most healing is that the friend absolutely knows, that no matter what they do or say, nothing is held against them, nothing is judged, nothing is taken personally and that they are in Love’s Presence and being held.
It is the greatest act of Love, to see all reactions in the self first to own it as my creation:-
‘Ah yes, I recognise that energy well, that is a desire to dislocate from me and excommunicate me! I must first own it in myself. This must be my creation. How else can I know it and recognise it? Holy Spirit, show me instances where I too have reacted in this way, so that my true vision of my friend, brother or sister, might be restored to original wholeness.’
In Lesson 2 in Way of the Heart, Yeshua goes into great depth with this forgiveness practice, until it becomes within, a complete reversal, a complete retraining of that mind that wants to habitually see you as ‘other’.
We fear true compassion and forgiveness because they are the undoing of all the knots that make the hardness and false, solid sense of safety comprising a separate self. Yet this work, is fuelled by desire and that very sense of solidity, once undermined cannot again return to being asleep. Once I have asked to awaken, because something in me has remembered who I am, and through you I have been willing to see every obstacle that I put in the way of fully living that Knowing, there is literally no way to go back to a lesser state of consciousness. We have unlocked the door and the only way, is out of the self-created prison and into more of the Light.
The deeply personal revelations that come from choosing to stay with, in breath, a brother or sister even as they react or you react, has no worth to the separate self, because those revelations come from a place beyond the intellect and the thinking mind. The Mind of the One Mind in God, does not see ‘other’ it knows only itself diving deeper and deeper into the awareness of the infinite. There is nothing beyond this Truth and so there is nothing to grab hold of and argue with.
She who only chooses to Love, has no attachment to outcomes, no attachment to hope of something ‘other’ or better than what is right now and no desire for any thought about the world. She who only loves cannot be harmed or disturbed because she has seen the truth of herself living from beyond that unreal world of thoughts, misperceptions and beliefs.
She who recognises that there is still some healing work to be done because there is reaction or attachment to a peaceful outcome, with no hostility, no opposition to her choices by a perceived other; has already chosen for Love by speaking the Truth and being committed to speaking that truth to herself inwardly. Therefore that truth will be spoken into the world.
Here's an excerpt from an amazing book shared with me from my teacher. I am very grateful that he persisted in communicating to me about this book, even though I had several years of resistance to it!
This book embodies, to me, the first axiom of Truth and this excerpt is all about learning to tell the truth in our relationships, despite our fears and our deep conditioning not to do that.
‘One of the hallmarks of an evolved person is the ability to tell the truth with no fear of punishment or expectation of reward. Due to our conditioning, many of us have learnt a deep fear of telling the truth. Conversely, we may want a guaranteed positive pay off if we are going to go to the trouble. In the co-committed relationship, the truth is told for its own sake for the ongoing purpose of celebrating awareness and life itself.’
