LESSON FOUR: “What Getting It Straight Does NOT Mean”
Let’s go back to the second lesson and look at how we spelled out four prominent views about what and who I AM. Those are merely individual perspectives and focusing on any one of them exclusively, that is to say that, I AM THAT is like saying “God is Love” because it conveys a different message to different individuals depending upon their individual interpretation of both words, that is, “Love” and “God.”
In Muslim tradition, there are 99 Names of God. In Zoroastrianism, there are 101 Names. In Judaism, Oh forget it, just pick one!
You adopted “SPIRIT-PARENT” because it helped you define, for yourself, the perfection of the male/female attributes of the non-gender, non-physical FORCE that was mistakenly labeled “Father,” yet is no mistake to those who correctly see and understand the aloof, benign aspect.
SPIRIT-PARENT is no more descriptive of that FORCE with which we are ONE than is “The Father” …you must see that both terms are severely limiting. This is why I introduced to you the fact that I AM multidimensional, meeting the needs of all who will come to me in whatever form they require, but to recognize the need to get beyond me for that reason, that is, by labeling I AM as a prophet or even the “only begotten Son of God” they are missing the point of their own I AM destiny to become Prophets, Ascended Masters, Sons of God, that is, discovering their own purpose for manifesting in this physical realm.
I AM here with you, in the NOW, for the same reason I came in the first widely recognized human form, that is, for you to identify with and become in full unfolding, demonstration, cooperation and unity with the FORCE.
Getting it straight has nothing to do with any labels or terms; those are the things of religion and must be avoided. You have referred to religion as a “school room,” but religion in all of its many forms is a prison. Your attempt to redefine religion in ways that you can communicate its limitations is just as limiting.
Let me help you get beyond religious terms by showing you an example. In the first lesson we exposed that a Jew who needs me to fulfill the “messianic prophecy” of Judaism is the child of a mixed marriage between two religions both missing the point.
It's OK to miss, you get another chance, as many as you like.
Brad’s Note: I sat here for many minutes attempting to digest the foregoing paragraph. What I thought I was being shown was that the “missed point” is making a focus of a religious demand to meet some preconceived (by religious teaching) tenet of both groups (Judaism and Christianity – at large) in order to meet the intellectual processes developed in both. After reading this paragraph several times I know I’m not making any sense, or am I? Help me here!
What you are missing and, again, what religion misses is a focus upon things that require human understanding, leadership and teaching. I came to the physical plane to be an example; by focusing upon me as a human icon, with the title, “The Christ” is exactly the same thing that followers of Muhammad, (as “the” Prophet) do and the followers of Siddhartha Gautama (as “The” Buddha) do as well.
Some will mistake this as denigration, when what I AM telling you is that the followers of all “faiths” miss the fact that the supposed founders of these religions were not “special,” but rather had broken through to be one with and used by the FORCE – and should be ideals to pursue as examples and not icons to be worshipped. This is why I have given you to say I AM, do not shirk this to appease those who do not yet understand their own destiny.
I AM THAT!
In Freedom,
Brad
