Rate this book
The teachings in this book have helped hundreds of thousands of people gain a deeper appreciation for Jesus's teachings about the mystical path that he taught 2,000 years ago and that he still teaches today-for those who are able to make an inner connection with him.Today many people cannot find a lasting heart connection to the real Jesus and his teachings because, according to most Christian churches, Jesus no longer talks to us. In reality, Jesus is a spiritual being and he is working to help all people who are able to raise their consciousness and attune to his Presence. For the past 2,000 years he has maintained a line of communication through those who have been willing to serve as messengers for his Living Word and who have pursued an understanding of his true message instead of settling for official Christian doctrines. In this book, the ascended Jesus reveals the mystical teachings that he gave to his most advanced disciples. He explains why his true teachings are as relevant today as they were two millennia ago and how you can develop a personal relationship with him-one of the most remarkable spiritual teachers of all time.Once you admit that mainstream religious traditions have not answered your questions about life, it is truly liberating to read the profound and meaningful answers in this book. Encouraging, moving and profound, this enlightening book will help you attain inner attunement with Jesus, even mystical union with him. You will learn how

THINK AND REFLECT: Open the Mind to Expand the Heart
"Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." ---Romans 12:2
The world that we live in is a world of choices, choices that seem individualized at the inner level, trivialized as harmless and personal, yet when seen as a whole collectively shape the outer world we live in.

The human mind is a universe on its own. It can imagine at the inner level as a thought and create what it desires in the outer level as a result,whether conscious or unconscious, the human mind transmits a formless mental picture of it unto the Universe and the Universe, in turn translates it into the world of form, a form that is only receptive to our known senses, senses that are unconsciously bound to the inferiority of its own perceptions and limitations and senses that are far too long attached to the convention of reality to know the Truth.

The world is what it is today, not because we made the wrong choices, but it is because we made those choices with very incomplete options in a state of consciousness that is far removed from the true power of its own individuality.

I say incomplete not to undermine the intelligence of our species, in fact, when you look at the world from the vantage point of technology, its physical and practical use have indeed shown that there are great minds, who made correct choices to make our life seem easier, more comfortable and a lot reachable to one another as if we, as a species, have grown in intelligence that can already harness quite a portion of the energy available in the universe. Yes, from this point of view, it may look very remarkable, but the question now is, why is the world still look the same as what it was before?

Perhaps, we can liken the world to a man, who lived in destitution for a long period of time with nothing he can call his own, but his own bedraggled appearance and then one day, in a sudden stroke of luck won the lottery and becomes instantaneously rich. With his riches, he can buy anything, comfort, mansion, luxury, name it and all material things will be available to him in a flash. His outer appearance he can change for sure for all the world to see, from being unkempt, he now have the ability to transform himself physically to look and to even be like a royalty. From this view, it indeed looks glorious and who would not envy? Who among us would pass a chance to become materially rich, nobody, including me.

I think here lies the main problem of humanity. We have become so attached to the things of this world that we have forgotten who we really are. We are like a puddle of water on a shore individually, but helplessly swept by the rising strong tide of the collective sea. We have forgotten that there is something more significant beyond the material world.

If the man who suddenly becomes rich does not have enough awareness to handle the gift given to him and if his state of consciousness remains in the low level of poverty, not rich enough to give him discernment, he will simply self destruct. It is just a matter of time as it simply shows that the man is not ready to receive his gift. Without the capacity to use it to his full inner potentiality, it just becomes futile. The same goes with the world. Just like the man, the world is not yet ready to handle the gift in our current state of consciousness. If we choose to remain, we will eventually self destruct.

The solution is to choose to come apart from the collective unconsciousness of humanity by starting to recognize your own individual awareness of your true being. It is not going to be easy at first. The important thing is to acknowledge it. It is to become consciously aware of your own state of consciousness. To further expound, let me differentiate the word intelligence from what we call our consciousness for the sake of argument.

Intelligence is where you store the skills and knowledge you have acquired from the external material universe. From which, upon its solid foundation, you consciously draw whatever you need to be able to think and express those thoughts in your outer world. Consciousness, on the hand is, what I would refer as the "sleeping" part of your being, where your "untapped" inner knowing is located that unconsciously governs your conscious intelligence. Here lies, the feelings and emotions influenced by your life experiences that motivate your intent to commit a particular action.

Intent, invisible and unseen in its power to mold you, is the actual building block of your inner foundation, the seed that unknowingly sprouts from the very ground of your consciousness from which your outer action or decision can truly be defined.

You see intent is unnoticed and unspoken in its purest state as it is kept and known only in the silence of the heart. The doer of the action may not even be aware what governs his intent as his intent on a particular action is already a collaboration of a lot of choices made in the past, which are all instinctively hidden in the complex storage room of the subconscious. When we decide on what to think or feel about something, just moments away from doing an act, we always draw from this storage room that molds and qualifies our fleeting thoughts into a state of consciousness.

A state of consciousness deeply enticed by the whims of the world imprisoned by the will of its own in total darkness, which in a sense is the true evil in this world known as ignorance.

SEEK AND FIND: Seek the Unknown and Find it Known
"So never be afraid of them, because there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing secret that will not be made known."---Matthew 10:26
This state of consciousness, this whirling pool of fleeting thoughts, more than the action itself is what we throw in the Universe and based from the quality of this state of consciousness, the energy and vibration it emits, is what we receive in return from the Universe in full and equal power.

We do not truly see the energy that is given to us by the Universe as we as a species are also unconscious of our own collective consciousness, yet for those who are highly sensitive, for those whose hearts are filled with compassion, those who are beginning to awake to their inner truth, those who are coming apart by their own free will and those who seek beyond the obvious reality can sense this very strong pulsating energy as it is being generated to be transformed into an external output translating the outer world we live in, an output that can only be dominated by the same forces we project to the Universe.

The Universe caters to whatever the human mind thinks, to what it earnestly seeks. In some way, the Universe gives us everything we passionately concentrate on in an unconditional manner, but without consciously knowing the consequences of those thoughts that translate into actions, without recognizing the very state of consciousness that create those thoughts, without the guidance and protection of our inner insight as we choose to remain in ignorance, how can we truly alter the way we think? How can we know what should really be our first priority? How can we know when enough is enough and how can we know that our individualized choices affect the world that we live in?

It is true that change, true change can only happen from within. As the say,"as within, so without".

To be able to create a new world, if we are serious enough to consider of changing this world. One must recognize that each has a personal contribution to make, that each contribution plays a significant part to achieve a common goal, a goal that is as Universal as the goal itself and as Universal as the Truth as it personally appears to one. In a word, it is the discernment of one as being part of the Whole. It is the lone seeker, who finally finds.

Now, have you ever wondered how the mind works? How thoughts when you let them seem to have a life on its own that may look apart from your own, replicating uncontrollably inside your head as a single thought can instantly produce a thousand more like it as a magnet does attract anything near it that is made of steel. You see, a true seeker knows instinctively what to look for. He attracts only what is necessary and essential to his quest as he can already qualify his finds according to its usefulness. His mind would have a tool, a tool to know intuitively what is beneficial from not like a magnet that only attracts information of the same quality he is looking for.

You would have noticed I kept on using the word attract. Well, it is because I want to elaborate further on one of the fundamental laws governing our universe, which without the proper knowledge of how it operates, can really be very destructive. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like as it is similarly true also when you say what you think is what you become, but we must not forget that the "becoming" is dependent on the intensity of the thoughts that molded it and most importantly the energy it releases, which profoundly radiates in the entire Cosmos, at the same time is totally dependent on the intent that created those thoughts.

It is just to say that to know the Law of Attraction is good enough and to practice staying positive is better enough, but to understand Abundance in the true sense of the word, it should not stop there. The best is to be aware of another law that governs it as a safety mechanism and that is the Law of Karma.

Perhaps, to further illustrate, our mind works like a computer. We do not need to know its physical components, or the internal mechanism that make it function. For as long as it is already prepared for usage, complete with all the software it needs. We just need to turn it on and it can already perform a particular task that we need to accomplish. It goes the same with any other external devices we use today like the laptops, tablets and smart phones. With the internet technology, these so called "gadgets" become even more useful as well as powerful as once they are connected, it may appear that they are somehow connected to something that we can only imagine as an invisible intelligence, which can be likened to you holding a library with complete collection of books on the palm of your hand as any information, or should I say everything your mind is attracted to becomes readily accessible at your own fingertips.

Everything you do on the internet leaves a footprint. Every search gives you an unlimited variety of the same kind your searching for. It may look random at times, but when seen collectively it can somehow qualify the mind, or even give you a chance to take a peek into the user's consciousness. One may hide anything that goes inside the mind from the view of other people, but what the mind fervently thinks also leaves a footprint. What it does concentrate on especially in long periods of time, not only stays in the mind, but it replicates it with thoughts of the same kind and when it remains indefinitely, it now becomes the very thing one is seeking for and depending on the collective quality of these thoughts that formed what you seek, one can already tell the intent, to which it hones.

In recent years, we can clearly see the great advancement in technology the world is currently enjoying. Everything has become personalized. Everyone has become connected somehow, yet everybody seems to be trapped in their own self interest, their own selfish needs and their own limited view of their own "little world" and seeing life in this aspect, it seems it has gone completely ashtray, lost in the illusions it has created and distracted to even contemplate its true value and worth. It is like disdainfully turning our back to the philosophy of life that enriches the core of our being and embracing the fruits of science, its physical embellishments without a care to the inner spirit that gives it the very life to breathe. Like a woman, who will move mountains to make herself youthful and attractive to the eyes of men, but when seen inside, she rots as cadaver decays in death.

You see, this woman is a representation of the world we live in. A world of science in advanced technology with a great intelligence to still conquer the physical and outer aspect of existence, but lacks the inner consciousness to save itself from its own downward spiral of destruction. That is the reason why in spite of the many spiritual and philosophical teachings available to us, we still remain in conflict and in separation and despite the promise of technology, Global Warming remains unresolved and becomes furthermore a threat to the very life we hold so dear.

I hope in this line of reasoning, we see that a single action can create a result. The result outwardly may look good, but what gives it more power is the inwardly force that drives it to act. It is the intent in itself, the state of consciousness that governs it that truly echoes in eternity.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.---Matthew 5:8
We must learn to be always on guard, to be constantly aware of the state of consciousness that inspires our every thought and every action as it is only through the purity of the mind that the heart can expand, which can give us eyes to truly see what is just and unjust, what is self interest and overall interest, so we may know how to use our gift of intelligence in accordance to the Higher Consciousness and absolute goodness of its Divine Giver.

It is apparent to purify our intent before an act, so we can be enlightened to what we should be seeking for, not only for the betterment of our own life, but that which that will be beneficial to all. For once we are aligned to the right way of seeking, then and only then we become in alignment to find the answers we already have inside our hearts.

By refraining to feed your thoughts with worldly pursuits that we all know are temporary and can only retain your mind in the darkness, you start to seek for food to feed your soul and finally begins to liberate it from its starvation.

Try. Try to feed your soul with even a morsel of the Absolute Truth and you shall see that it still hungers for more. For it is the very Light it has been seeking to lift itself up from the evil bondage known as ignorance.
In him was life, and that life was the light of men.---John 1:4
Look into your hearts and you will know what I am saying, for it is already within you all along.

ASK AND RECEIVE: Ask For The Kingdom and Receive The Gift that is Already Yours
"Now having been asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He replied, ‘The Kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed or with a visible display; nor will people say, ‘Look! Here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For the Kingdom of God is among you."---Luke 17:20-21
In the purity of the mind, the mist is lifted. Everything becomes clear and in silence you begin to hear. You learn what is truly worth seeking for and in turn find answers because you already somehow know the right way of asking and when you receive, you will discover that what you receive is already yours from the beginning. It was only lost, but now found.

To be able not to get lost, we must not forget how powerful our thoughts can be, not only in molding the way we think and the way we act, which we usually just take for granted, but more significantly on how a single consciousness can contribute to the whole as it translates it into a state of consciousness and becomes what most of us unconsciously seeks. This is why we must always be aware as awareness is the only key to individually recognize this for what it really is. For this worldly outer state of consciousness is only alive when we feed it, when we feed with our unnecessary wants and our self driven desires and if we choose to remain blind, it can unknowingly dominate our thoughts like a tide of strong current that if not obstructed will continue to sweep our individual consciousness into its own whirlpool of darkness totally unbeknownst.

We are not a lifeless driftwood that should only be swept away by any strong current. For we are conscious beings who can choose for ourselves. It does not mean that if everybody is doing it, it makes it right. What is actually right and truly good can never be seen in the outer world. It is not up for display for they begin and remain in the silence of the heart. This is what Pure Energy means, invisible to the naked eye, for its beauty of the highest vibration can only be seen by those who go within, into the inner state of consciousness that is far and above this world.

This inner state of consciousness is the heavenly inner state. It is the part of ourselves hidden away, long forgotten deep within, that needs to be rediscovered, to be explored as in each of us, this is truly the last frontier. It only needs our own free will to seek it and to ask for it. Then and only then, it can manifest itself in our lives, for it is only through our pure hearts that the Kingdom of God shall come to pass.☾☯
Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you.---Gospel of Thomas
A Bit More: This poem is written before I stumbled upon this book. A some kind of a precursor to what is about to be revealed to me.
TO KNOW THY KINGDOM

To know Thy Kingdom
One must see the World
To feel Thy Kingdom
One must accept the World
To reach Thy Kingdom
One must forgive the World
To be in Thy Kingdom
One must love the World
The World is not Thy Kingdom
But Thy Kingdom is in the World
Not the World that is without
But the World that is within

This book is not for everyone. However, there is so much of it that resonated with me on a deep level. I'm interested in reading more as this one felt a bit incomplete (there were certain sections that promised to go deeper into the principle 'later' then never did--though perhaps it meant the follow-up books?).

Profound!

If you have the opened mind to read this book entirely, you will with no doubts have a better understanding of God and Jesus and a deeper connection. Whatever the religion you follow (if any), you may understand the real spiritual teachings behind that religion.
Inside you, is the door to cosmic consciousness, illumination, enlightenment or christhood. And you are not separated from this state of consciousness as you may think.
The chance you come across this book is one in many millions. You find it, it's mean to be.
Happy reading!

At one time long time ago I attended a very small church it had a makeshift wall behind the pulpit just rough wood no paint or stain.One day I was looking at it and I saw a clear image of Jesus face 5 ft tall this wasn't abstract if you put a frame around and stained the wood you have clear picture.I told people they just didn't get it they couldn't see Jesus because they already had a image of him and they weren't looking for where ever he was now. I found him through his words in Kim Michaels books his promise is to be always with us .This book is like nothing you have ever read before because there are forces that don't won't you to know the real Jesus cause once you follow his teachings you will change and the world will have to change along with you.
