  • This is a selection of teachings of Jesus from St John's Gospel.
    John's gospel is different from the other three in the New Testament. That fact has been recognized since the early church itself. Already by the year 200, John's gospel was called the spiritual gospel precisely because it told the story of Jesus in symbolic ways that differ sharply at times from the other three. St. John's Gospel is a mystical reflection on the Word Made Flesh, Jesus Christ.

    I met this man for the first time in the Himalayas. I reached a crisis alone in the mountains, a danger. My ego suffered a sudden catastrophic collapse. It was unbearable, it was death. And, He appeared. He gave me simple instructions to escape. I followed. There was no debate. I knew it was Him. I was shocked.
    On the other side of the danger, I reflected. I shook my head. I laughed. I pointed my finger in the direction where He was. I said, “You are a good guy. I will never forget you.” And, a prayer formed on my lips, “Hail, Holy, Jesus.”
    Sure, I was raised Roman Catholic; sure, at one time I prayed to Him. But, those were years long ago. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, embraced more exotic religions. And, besides, Jesus to me was a historical figure, like Julius Caesar, Buddha, Alexander The Great. Sure, I believed He did what He did many centuries ago.
    But, here He was in the Himalayas, alive, guiding all, of all faiths. He appeared to me, not as a powerful God. No, no; not even remotely. He appeared exactly as a very dear friend, a slightly older brother, with all compassion, just because we are the same, but He made it through life before me, and knew more. He appeared as a deep, deep, deep pool of love, mercy, compassion, kindness and surrender.
    I also laughed to myself later in the day, thinking, “Come on, give me a break!!! Himalayas, the home of Lord Siva. Jesus was so far from home. These are predominantly Hindu mountains.”
    But, I realized Jesus Christ as a Living Presence, available to all. Does not matter that I even bad-mouthed Him in my rebellious years, and quit the church, and never returned.
    Occasionally, even now, I will go to an empty church for solace and respite, and look at his pictures and statues. It is great that the church building exists. But, He is not in those concepts. He remains permanently wherever you go, He remains here to help and heal. Call upon your dear friend. He is a friend, indeed.

      -Jesus
      Crucify the Belief in a mortal Me Separate and Apart from the Immortal, Omnipresent Spirit of God, as there is no more Glorious a Demonstration than the Transformation from mortal sense to Spiritual Immortality....
      The massive wall we have built shielding us from our truth lies in intellectual concepts known as the Graven Images of Mortality experienced through the senses(including all religious beliefs). What is of God Consciousness is Infinite, and what is not of God is an Appearance of a False Image where Only God is....
      Heaven is where you are and the only place that you can ever be, yet Hell is the place that you insist on experiencing by entertaining a mortal life separate and apart from God....!!

      God created nothing that can perish!
      The Greatest Lie against God is the belief in a mortal existence separate and apart from God!!
      I and the Father are One......
      To believe you are anything less than the Immortal, Omnipresent Spirit of God, you will appear to suffer the consequences of this belief in a ME that is birthed, decays and dies....
      If I speak of (a mortal self)myself I bear witness to a lie.....
      A preacher/priest of the church or bible looks out into an imperfect, mortal world he believes God created and then judges it because he is ignorant of his own Truth of Being, thereby denying the Omnipresence of the Infinite, Perfect Spirit of God....
      On the other hand, A Priest of God knows the Infinite, Perfect Spirit of God is the Only Presence, therefore the Only Life. He knows where everything Mortal and Finite Appears to be, only the Infinite, Perfect, Omnipresent Life of God is.
      He knows that when he is not attuned to Divine Consciousness(Eternal Life, Immortality, Truth, God), by default, he is attuned to Mortal Consciousness(karmic death, mortality, form, fear, judgment, evil, etc). He knows that every communication Unfolding from God within is to encourage the Spirit/Soul die to the False Sense of Mortal Self, as the Purpose of the Soul is to take Dominion over the only Adversary, the World Mind and it's thoughts tempting him to believe mortality/form/decay is reality.
      He knows Divine Love can not express itself through a Material Consciousness.
      He knows he that Realizes he is the Son of God has Eternal Life. He then walks through the world of mortal appearances a Divine Being in who the 5 Senses of Mortality have been Impersonalized, and therefore hold no power over him. His fidelity is to the Immortal Spirit he is, and no longer to the mortal sense of life, not of God.
      He knows The RESURRECTION takes place when one drops the belief and reliance upon the False Appearances of the World Mind of Mortality through the Acceptance and Realization of God/Spirit being the only Infinite, Perfect, Omnipresent Being, thereby knowing ones true self to be the Infinite, Perfect, Omnipresent Spirit of God.
      He knows he Must OVERCOME the Mortal Belief he is not Immortal, Divine Being, and Only then can he be called:
      A Priest of God
      Pick up the Cross of Immortality and Bear it despite mortal appearances and the temptation to entertain them as reality!
      To the Degree in which we can walk through the false world of mortality and not be disturbed by it is the Path of the Realized Christ Within!

      Spiritual Ear....not human hearing!!
      God is Infinte Spirit, and until we come to the Realization that God is the Only Presence, you will not hear anything other than the temptation to believe lies from the 5 senses of mortality that you entertain as reality....
      He who Realizes his Life is the Spirit of God has Eternal Life! He then walks through the mortal appearance a Divine Being, in who the 5 Senses of Mortal Lies have been Impersonalized, therefore hold no power over him. His fidelity is to the Immortal Spirit he is, and no longer to the mortal illusion of life not of God....
      We Must OVERCOME the Belief that we are not Immortal, Divine Being.....
      To him that Overcometh the temptation of the tree of good and evil(belief in a mortal existence separate and apart from God)will I give to eat of the Tree of Life(ALL GOD IS/ETERNAL LIFE), which is in the Midst of the Kingdom of God(Omnipresence)....
      Turn ye from the false images of the mortal world of man with breath in his nostrils, and Dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High!!
      I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD....of the 5 senses of Mortal World Mind Belief, knowing they can only lie....
      The degree to which we can look at the shadow of the material world of death/mortality that is not of Spirit/God and not be disturbed by it is the Path of the Realized Christ....
      I and the Infinite are One....
      We are not a Christian until we know Christ is our Identity, as only Christ can do the works of God because man can not!!

    6:48 that’s what catholic school promised us kids.
    “Thrown into the fire and burned up.”
    I’ve been terrified of this for 46 years since I was 9 years old.
    I am a one of the most gentle, loving, caring and compassionate men but I fully expect to be thrown into the fire and burned up and the older I get the more fearful and house ridden I become.
    Fear fills my days and nights, the waking state and the dream state.
    It’s utterly terrifying and I hate I was ever even born.
    Nothing I do is good enough nor will it be they said. We’re all doomed to eternal torture and suffering in the fires of hell at the hands of devils and demons because god loves us.
    I feel in hell already and I’m told it’s going to be infinitely worse when the body dies?
    Great, thanks.
    I hate this place. I’ve followed you for years Samaneri and even practiced with you. I’ve sent money a few times to the hermitage and adore you. Your voice and this channel and all the beautiful messages give me at least a few minutes of freedom each day from the never ending terror of the burning that awaits me.
    I hate what those nuns and priests did to us. I don’t hate them but I despise the hell they created in my mind the last 46 years.
    They permanently ruined my mind and stole any joy or happiness that might occasion to rise up as it’s quickly squashed by the millions of devils, threats of hell and suffering.
    No need for another hell after this one. This one is plenty good. 😔

    It is more than just God.
    Nothing is above it.
    Nothing rules it.

    It does not exist within anything.

      Christ consciousness is the Me level it is pointing out ….of this level it is definitely no way
      to go to the “Father “
      Also “The Father and I are one” it points to the Father and the I consciousness to the only thing ever to be one …to the “I am “

      Look up, ego death, christ awareness, how it is linked to other cultures around the world that explain the same universal principles. The way through him is a reference to the state of god being that he was (through the gospel) and "is". He was the word and that word became flesh form. In order for us that is flesh to understand the way, that way had to become like us to (lead/teach by example).
