| 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
| 2 The same was in
the beginning with God. |
| 3 All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
| 4 In him was
life; and the life was the light of men. |
| 5 And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. |
|
| In the beginning was the Word of
God. The Word of God was an expression of God as God's thought. Being God's thought, the
Word was spirit, truth, and love. Only something that is a part of God and one with Him
can be as God and be God. The Word, as
God's creation and His child, was always with God, and all things of love were made by
Him, and nothing of love was ever made by the self of the world of flesh and ego. In the
self of the Word and spirit is life, and the life that has been breathed in all men is
their life. Without the life of spirit and love that indwells man, man would not have
life.
Spirit is light, and spirit is truth, and spirit
shines in the darkness of man's soul that is lost in the unawareness of his true divine
nature and identity. Spirit shines amidst the darkness and turmoil of man's life, and is
there to save man from his false misperceptions of truth that the world of material and
flesh gave taught him as truth. The spirit of God and His light shine forth always in man
as a call back to the remembrance to his true reality of peace and love.
Come forth, cries spirit, in the wilderness of
the ego pits, fear, and unhappiness in man's life. Come forth to the promised land of
Canaan, and live in the land of milk, of love, and the honey of forgiveness and mercy.
Live a life of peace and contentment, and the leave the life of fear and anxiety behind.
Come with me, and leave the pits of ego fear to transcend to the green oasis of love,
peace, and abundance forever. Amen. |

| 6 There was a man
sent from God, whose name was John. |
| 7 The same came
for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might
believe. |
| 8 He was not that
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. |
| 9 That was
the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. |
| 10 He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. |
| 11 He came unto
his own, and his own received him not. |
| 12 But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name: |
| 13 Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
| 14 And the Word
was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. |
|
| John came as a witness to all God's
lost children to the light of God that was within them. John was not that light, but was
sent to bear witness to the power of that light. A person in the flesh is not the light
and spirit of God. The self of the flesh is still tempted to believe that it is separate
and a person of the world. But within John, as within all God's sons, is the light of life
that shines away the darkness of the world's thoughts and fears. The self of light within man was within man, but man knew
him not. The world was created by the self of love, but due to darkness and fear, man did
not comprehend this. Even when the self of love and light was witnessed to by John, and
man knew of this light within himself, many still did not receive the self of light. The
self of light is the self of spirit, born of spirit as a rebirth of vision which leaves
the world and its thoughts and misperceptions behind. The self of spirit follows the will
of God, not the will of the world of flesh and blood and ego and fear.
To those who will receive the rebirth of spirit,
and a complete change of mind and identity, and leave the world and its ideas behind, the
word, light, or Christ spirit within all men will give them the power to remember
themselves as the sons of God, not the sons of the world. They will rise and never be
weary, love and never be empty, rejoice and never be sad, for the spirit of their Father
will keep their consciousness resurrected to the level of the Christ spirit within them.
And the glory of God, as His son, will be seen and remembered as dwelling in the midst of
all of us in the casing of flesh that we find ourselves in now in the time temporary. We
will remember ourselves and all others as their true self that God created them to be. The
only begotten son of the Father is spirit and love. The stranger is the self and son of
the fathers of the world of ego and flesh. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
heaven, as God is spirit, and to worship Him and know Him, you must worship and know Him
through the spirit of truth within you and all others. God's ways are not man's ways.
God's ways are of the spirit, and are love; man's ways are of the ego and fear. To enter
the kingdom of heaven within us and remember, we must change our minds to think with God
and His spirit indwelling us, and leave the voice of the world and fear within us behind.
We must be reborn of the spirit of love, and as a little child, depend on our Father for
all our needs and our life, and we will be cared for in our Father's eternal love and care
forever. Amen. |

| 15 John bare
witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is
preferred before me: for he was before me. |
| 16 And of his
fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. |
| 17 For the law
was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. |
| 18 No man hath
seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath
declared him. |
|
| As John did bear witness of Jesus
the Christ, he said that this was he who is preferred before me: for he was before me. The
Christ self in all men is the preferred self that God created in spirit and in truth. The
unpreferred self of flesh and blood cannot see or know the kingdom of heaven within. For
the Christ self was before the self of ego and flesh. The Christ self of spirit and truth
was in the beginning, with the Father, full of grace and truth. This self within all men
is the self that the Father created, and can only be known by giving up the false ego self
that the world of flesh has taught man to believe in. Man must leave the world and its
false perceptions. As your brother Jesus, you are full of the grace and truth of God. All
of your brothers are full of God's grace and truth as well. But they can only know this by
leaving the laws of judgment and imperfection of the world behind and transcending the
misperceptions of the laws of judgment to the laws of forgiveness, love, and grace. Truth
comes only from the Father, and this truth comes in spirit, and comes from the Father to
the son. It is only the son of God, or Christ self of man, that can know the Father. No
man involved in the world of flesh, judgment, and condemnation can ever see the Father.
This right is reserved for those who, in love and forgiveness, come to the Father as son
and perfection. These sons of God choose to see the perfection of creation and not the
judgment of creation as the world. They choose to not offend others, and do not offend
themselves. What they give to all others, they get, so they get the same love,
forgiveness, and Christ consciousness of peace and love that they give to all others. They
rest in peace and in the loving communion of Father and son forever. Amen. |
