Secret Teachings Of Yeshua Everyone Overlooks
(Not a finished work, however, I believe what is here will still be stimulating and heart opening)
What if I told you that Yeshua’s most profound message was hidden right within his very name. That the very nature of becoming timeless has been laid right before our eyes ever since the first time we’ve come across the very name… Yeshua. What if the name Yeshua wasn’t merely a name chosen by chance, nor do the complexities of its meaning stop at the mere traditional understanding of the names of Yeshua and Jesus.
When we look up the name Yeshua and Jesus in the context of the more traditional meanings of these words, we find depictions such as: “to deliver,” “God Saves,” “God Delivers,” and “salvation.” However, the meaning behind the name goes far beyond just these traditional depictions. What if I told you that the message that allows you, yes you, to embody the message of Yeshua resided within the very first three letters of his name. Y-E-S
Yes?
Yes!
Say Yes to the Yes! It really is as easy as 1… 2… Yes!
Saying yes—when done with discernment—is, in and of itself, one of the most radically empowering, freeing, and liberating things you can do. Not only for yourself, but everyone and every aspect within your life. There is no faster way to “raise your vibration” than when you come to a fully aligned yes across all spectrums of life. A fully aligned yes may at first appear so simple, so innocent, and in reality, it is. Yeshua reaffirms this as True. Yet, there is more to our current experience than what may initially meet the eye.
Join me as we look into how the simple—yet not so simple—act of saying yes to yourself, to your brothers, to your sisters, and every aspect of the now moment allows for the organic rising of the greatest sense of peace, joy, and happiness.
Before we dive into the eternal spaciousness, yet ever dense complexities of the yes, I first want to lay out a simple framework of the operations in a streamlined fashion.
Ultimately, the “goal” is to make the moment our best friend as often as possible. In doing so, we will feel the greatest sense of unity with our brothers, sisters, Higher Selves and God, within our now moment. Nonjudgement to what IS is a pivotal piece in this operation. When you or I, from our limited perspective of the all, try to deem some aspect of what is as “incorrect” or “not right,” it is merely our egoic mind trying to say that it knows better than Source. Source is ultimately the only “one” (as it is a collective of all our perspectives instantly compounded and also instantaneously fed back out to us into an experiential now moment) that can truly have the ability to discern the now moment and how it should otherwise display itself.
Put simply, nonjudgement of the moment is key. But, discernment within the moment is also key. If we move into resistance to what is, whether consciously or unconsciously, we are saying we “know” better than Source. This is a misperception and a form of feeding of the ego. When this is done, we create more psychological time. Psychological time is an experience of time in which we feel we are a victim to it, rather than one with it. Yeshua walked with and became one with time. His union with time was the very act that allowed him to cure the ailments of psychological time, “in real time.” He did not run from time. He said yes to time, in a well perceived manner. Throughout this work, we will gain an understanding that “yes to” time is not done by an individual alone. Yeshua never walked alone throughout his journey. He knew, step after step, that the Holy Spirit was not only with him, but guiding him every step of the way. It was in this merger of presence that Source was able to work miracles through him and dispel the “dis-ease” that is created in real “time” by how the collective field holds a perceptual awareness of each other and towards Source.
Saying yes then, is an integral part of this discernment and the allowance of divine guidance or intervention. As we can see, saying yes is unbelievably simple, yet profoundly complex all at the same time. Saying yes doesn’t mean to blindly accept everything. If we say yes to everything–then yes–we are inviting all the positive patterns and interactions to persist within our lives, but we are also allowing all the woven patterns of the “past” that are no longer serving us to subsist in our now. If we are to continually say yes without any sense of “feeling into” each yes, we end up reenacting every last aspect of our “previous” moment. This creates a reenactment of a repetition of pattern and is a display of resistance to change. This resistance then manifests as discomfort and, through successive accumulation, larger and larger displays of “dis-ease.” In the framework of this current perceived reality—the world of form, sensation, linearity, and mirrored perception—change appears as the only constant. Considering this is the current framework of perception of our field, tuning into our now on an individual and collective basis has never been more important. By saying yes to the change that Gaia is asking for will not only aid in raising the quality of our lives as humans, but will also help reverberate the qualitative embodiment of Christic consciousness and reveal what is capable when belief, intention, thought, and action are all put into action within a collective now moment.
So, what then, was Yeshua’s Yes. What allowed Yeshua to wield the word yes to such an extent that it allowed him to walk on water, heal the sick, and feed thousands while having merely nothing? It starts with the realization that his yes was not his alone. Yeshua, as we know, had a profound understanding of the workings of reality. It was no coincidence that he layered his teachings with the words trust, faith, hope, honesty, and charity. These all serve as keys to help us come into coherence with our more “whole” state of being that we’ve been casting out from our current perceptual bubble of reality. Our bubble of reality is not reality as a matter of fact sense. It is only a facet of a larger reality that is limited due to how we perpetually orient our mind/sense of being in relation to all aspects of what is. We see ourselves as separate, so Source provides a reality in which separation is “real.”
Let’s dive into how this works. Yeshua’s yes is more than just his. He came to realize and embody a way of being that wasn’t just about saying yes to everything, but rather was a precise tuning as to where he should be saying yes, and to whom should he be turning to gain guidance in order to cultivate this “right perception” of the yes. It is here that a very big distinction is made that gives rise to unique opportunities within the window of the now.
Let’s take a look at what discernment entails and where we should be extending our discernment within our framework of daily experience. Before we continue, let’s bring to mind the golden rule: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Why did so many saints and sages bring forth this very same message in a myriad of different ways? Because they understood that when you feed the illusion of separation, then separation will continue to manifest within the reality that is our now. We “man”ually “man”ifest the division we feel and see within our successive now unfoldings. This is our doing.
Paradoxically, now is a good time to bring in a friendly reminder; sin is not real. Sin, in a traditional sense, is belief that something, some act, or some way of being, is irreversible and deserving of punishment. All these things once labeled as sin are nothing less than a “mistake” in perception. Luckily, we have the capacity to forgive. There is no limit to the extent in which we can forgive. This is relieving as many of us have carried an immense amount of weight within our now for a long, long time.
The concept of sin is something we’ve been perceptually creating within our collective belief field due to our perspective relation to ourselves. Sin simply appears to arise due to a misperception held in time, by a mind that has momentarily forgotten its oneness with God.
Since all that is, is in the eternal now, there is no expression of God that is ever cast away into a state of isness that is irreversible nor deserving of punishment. It may feel—from our limited perspective of this now moment—that we are being punished, but this merely arises because we are not addressing the shadow we’ve been walking with all this time. It is our belief in the condition of sin that otherwise feeds its “realness” and delivers the sensation of realness. We see the “past” as something we are bound to, but in reality it’s us reaffirming the illusion of the past within our now over and over again. It’s been our inability to find a fully aligned yes with the now that creates the illusion that we have a fixed past, but it's this very “attaching to” which creates the container that limits the full capabilities of our expression within our now. Source—being only of the eternal now—forgave us from our misperceptions the moment they arose. In God’s eyes, the eyes of the eternal now, we are already forgiven. It sees no past. We’re already whole, and we always have been. Bear with me as we unfold this bit by bit.
It will help if we look at this from another lens, through the lens of “time.”
Currently we continually orient our beliefs of what our experience “should” or “ought to” look like based upon what was our perceived past, but is actually just the shadow of our now. Currently, time orients itself linearly to us, because we’ve oriented ourselves linearly to it. Rather than accepting the parts of what we don’t want to see as ourselves now, they organize as a sequence of events that feel like the past. This is simply a mirroring effect provided by Source that brings light to the pattern of our shadow lying active within our now moment that is created by us consistently viewing ourselves as perceptually “separate from source.” Just as we have a lens “out of focus” in relation to time, we too have a lens “out of focus” in relation to our relationship with Source. This arose over the accumulation of what we perceived reality to be based on our collective experience of it. Really it's just an ever shifting gradation of the shadow within our now.
We have come to formulate within our collective beliefs a limiting truth of how things operate and have been fueling the belief that when a mistake arises, we must carry the weight of that mistake until it is otherwise redeemed through time. This creates an illusion that makes us feel we are tied to the past until this resolves. It arises because we label it with a sense of selfness. We call it “our” past. We give it life, and in doing so, it then limits our life by limiting our now. When we say “this is our past,” then the linear operations of the mind deduces what is possible and not possible based on the current orientation of the now. In God’s eyes we are sinless. He sees no divides within time nor anywhere. However, we currently hold a state of mind littered with divides and thus create divides between the past, present, and future. It is our very relation to time that births our limitations as we continually allow ourselves to be tethered to the patterns of our past. In reality, we are only truly limited by the extent in which we are able to forgive.
Forgiveness is generally defined along these lines. Forgiveness: a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance towards another person, group, or oneself. As mentioned, with reference to all “past” misperceptions or mistakes we have made, Source has already forgiven us. Now is the time in which we learn to forgive ourselves. In doing so, this will start to release us from the experiential divide we have been stubbornly reinforcing within our now. We also ought to begin to realize that we are not separate from Source. This is just another form of separation that is feeding the sense of divide. We are Source. We are totally made of Source, but we are not Source in its totality.
Since we are Source, we are powerful. Therefore our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings create our reality. When we fuel our now with feeling of communion with all aspects of divine expression, the lens of separation widens. When we fuel our now with feelings lack of communion with all aspects of divine expression, then we continually reinforce a reality that furthers this divide. The previously perceivable extensions of Source we are able to exchange with fell out of view right before our very eyes, and were “erased” from our memories. Again, there is only the now. It’s not that they’ve fallen out of view due to time differentials of when they existed. Instead it is our rigid frame of mind that is continually constricting our perception in our now and “locking” these other expressions of divinity outside of our perceptual bandwidth. You get what you give in this universe. We’ve been perpetually feeding our now in a selfish manner. Due to the way in which we hold ourselves in perspective relation to “others,” the universe has constructed a veil around us to reflect that we’ve only been choosing to see ourselves in the mirror. This is done out of Love. Source is helping guide us out of this trance we’ve been holding on to for far too many now moments…
As mentioned, our past is not our past. It is better to view it as a condensation of our shadow that we carry perpetually in the now. With proper guidance from the Holy Spirit we can learn to shift through shadows of our now and clear the condensation within us on an individual and collective level. We are not our past, nor our patterns. We can forgive ourselves. Source—being all powerful—holds us with this Love now and for eternity and is simply waiting for us to reflect this power of Love as well as the power of forgiveness in a perceptually aligned manner. We’ve been displaying the “power” quality of Source throughout our being, but we’ve been overlooking the harmony that arises when we don’t bring forth the unconditional Love and forgiveness qualities of Source that are lying dormant within each and every one of us. We ought to remember that true power is revealed only when combined with the acceptance, forgiveness, and exemplification of unconditional Love. We’ve been wielding the power of Source in a manner that maintains limitations on ourselves rather than harmonizing with it. When we harmonize internally with all qualities of Source, a greater sense of freedom and expression will open up not only within ourselves, but throughout the world and universe around us. Our bandwidth of limited sense perception changes as we change our minds orientation in regards to ourselves, Source, Gaia, and our universe at large. Once again, all of this will be mirrored when we consciously align more wholly with all qualities of Source. Now is the time we look within our now and allow ourselves to forgive. It is in this forgiveness that we can alchemically transmute what we once believed as sin and realign with the perception source always—and will always—extend towards us. We are just remembering that we are already eternally perfect, whole, Holy, and complete.
Let’s sink back into this experience in relation to emotions and how they arise within our now on a daily basis. Via the lens of the golden rule, we are not supposed to do unto others that in which we would not want done unto ourselves. This shows that directives clearly fueled by intent to put another down physically or mentally, ought not to be acted upon. But, what if the “feeling” of wanting to do these things arises? Should we really just say yes in a way which pays no mind to them and instead go back to saying yes to the moment? To “just be happy?” Well, no. This would be an instant in which you would say yes to the thought/feeling, as it is arising in the now moment, but with discernment choose not to enact it. You would, through discernment and guidance from the Holy Spirit, resist this temptation by realizing that this very act would create a mirage of harm upon yourself and the “other.” This being that the other is you. Our physical senses and sense of identity will not relay this as the truth of the scenario as they are still in tune with the now that carries much division in its heart, but this change of mind and movement towards right perception doesn’t start with physical senses. It all begins with our minds, hearts, and feelings. As we consistently make changes in our ability to align our mind with right perception, so too, our senses, will perceptually align.
It can be very helpful here to realize we don’t have to make this decision alone, and in fact, it is best we do not make this decision alone. This is what the Holy Spirit is for. We will address this in depth later. As for now, it is important not to brush off feelings as they arise in our now as they are in fact a part of the now that we carry. It’s not that they are from our past. We’ve just been holding them in our now all this time. Until we allow ourselves to feel them in our now, we will otherwise continue to carry the weight of our illusions without even knowing it. These shadows will continue to arise in different forms within our reality, but it will just be the reflection of some aspect of our mind that is still holding false perception. Let’s also note that when we feed any such thought or feeling with a sense of selfness, consciously or unconsciously, we are feeding the misperception of reality and reinforcing the ever compounded shadow within our now. When we actively say yes to a thought/feeling with awareness while maintaining discernment and resist the embodying of this thought, then we are allowing right perception to arise within the now. The more we come into alignment with absolute forgiveness and perpetually drop any perceived weight of the past the more our realization of our true unity will naturally arise and the thoughts/feelings mirroring this misperception will drop out of our field of awareness as well. What a joy!
Upon realization of complete perceptual “correctness,” or rather complete forgiveness, no sense of any dis-ease will arise within any part of experiential expression since we will be consistently in complete union with God—with what IS. We will have realigned with the eternal now. With forgiveness being embodied to this extent, the desire to hold onto the past will be inconceivable. The past will simply not be there. It will perpetually drop away. Well in reality it doesn’t even need to drop away as it's already not there. Nonetheless, talk about a sense of freedom! No longer is experience gated by what was once your perceived past. No longer does experience resemble the feeling of a prison cell. Instead it emanates a feeling of wholeness and completion, the feeling of a fulfilled sense of Self! A feeling of no lack. Just wholeness, unified with the all to dance, sing, and give joy within the very expression that we share eternally.
As mentioned, the more we unify our perception into one of wholeness, the more and more desires rooted in lack will melt right before our very eyes. Then, “in time,” through successive well-integrated now moments, we remember our true nature, timelessness. Not because we’ve moved out of time, but because we’ve become so one with time that time is no longer perceptually real. It is merely a construct that arises when we hold misperception consistently within our now. It arises simply as a guide to realign our perception/mind to one of unity consciousness rather than separation.
Let’s do some more reflection on how to work with our thoughts, feelings, and emotions as they arise within our current experience of time. This is key to integrating and rooting more deeply into our now rather than letting it subconsciously spiral “beneath” or “within” us. To really grasp these operations, we must gain a greater understanding of what this perceived space-time reality is and also shine light on as to where “Heaven” and our “whole Holy Selves” reside. This may sound strange, and you may feel a sense of resistance upon hearing this, but I assure you it is from a reasonable source. “Heaven,” and our “whole Holy Selves,” are already here. Yes, you heard that right. The Kingdom of Heaven and your complete sense of Self, perfectly perfect in every way, is already here. Right within you. Right within and throughout the entirety of this world. Before we commence I’d like to outline where I’ve received this perspective on Heaven. Well, from Yeshua himself! More specifically a text that was channeled by Helen Schucman under the title, A Course In Miracles. This was a book published in 1976 in which Schucman clearly iterates that it was compiled word for word, via a process of "inner dictation" from Jesus Christ, otherwise originally known as Yeshua. Over the course of the book, many concepts were touched upon. All of which are profoundly simple yet profoundly complex, all at the same time. It is the most paradoxical work I’ve ever been exposed to. It offers the simplest redirection that heals all ails. Simply choose love, choose the Holy Spirit, choose unity. Yet when peering into this simplicity an infinitely recursive metaphysical architecture of miscreation, time-folding and dream layering arising from egoic projections are unveiled. Let’s proceed and slowly start piercing the veil.
The nature of perception is not one directional. Perception is not just a receptive state of being, but actively participates in creating the world we see. It is shaped by belief, and when belief is grounded in separation, it gives rise to a fractured sense of the world. Examples of such beliefs would be harboring a belief of separation from Source, from others, and/or separation from our Higher Self. This creates an illusory dream of fear, lack, and suffering. Again, it is only illusory in the way that it is just mirroring the current framework of our perceptual now. We are extensions of Source and Source is extensions of our selves. It is the misperception of our relation to Source that creates something that is perspectively different from what Source created.
The “fall” was/is not even a real event. It is merely a moment of misthought, a fleeting idea in the Mind of the Son that separation from God could be possible. This idea, though impossible in Truth, was believed, thus the illusion of separation arose. The world, time, bodies, and perception all emerged as projections of that singular misbelief.
It’s important to note that the Course (A Course In Miracles) never condemns the dreamer. It tells us, gently, again and again, that nothing real was lost. That God’s Son cannot truly separate, cannot be harmed, and remains exactly as He was created. With this being said, every part of our current perceptual alignment is not a problem in God’s eyes and even though it is not how God wants to see his Son in orientation to Him, it still serves as a classroom to the mind(s) of the dreamer. It is an opportunity to remember, through choice and contrast, what was never actually forgotten in the eternal.
Thus, both are true. We are eternally basking in love’s presence in reality, yet, we are experientially learning Love through the lens of unknowing within the dream. Through the process of remembering what is real and no longer valuing what is not, the dream dissipates and the perceived gap between the two is no longer upheld. This is because the Sonship realizes that it was He (as a collective expression of the Son of God) that was maintaining the gap all along.
The Kingdom is here. It never left. We are learning to open ourselves back up to it. We are simply “restoring our perception” to it. Forgiveness is the path by which perception is corrected. Allowing sin to be seen not as a moral error, but as a perceptual detour that never changed the truth of who we are. Forgiveness in its deepest sense is not extended towards something that was done, but it is a remembering that what has been believed to have been done was never done at all. All grievances, all misperceptions, all shadows, arise from the belief that something actually happened to separate us from Source. True forgiveness corrects the belief that separation was even possible. Even our emotions, when seen clearly, are based on echoes of an event that never occurred in Truth. So, on one side of the coin, forgiveness isn’t needed in any sense as none of this ever happened. Yet, on the other, forgiveness is the very key that will close the perceptual bridge we have built between us and our True nature.
Once again a major premise within ACIM (A Course In Miracles) is this: all projection, all suffering, all perception of attack or betrayal (everything that constitutes the world) stems from a single belief: I have separated from God. From this simple, single imagined thought that arose within the dreamer, all of this emerges:
The belief in guilt
The fear of punishment
The invention of time
The need for a body (in order to house guilt)
And the entire hallucination of causality that is experienced within this dream as “out there”
This dream is the dream of the Son, or the “Sonship.” The Sonship is the entirety of all divine expressions that are “within” this experiential dream due to the single initial thought of guilt.
This single idea of separation which creates guilt is referred to as “the tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh.” It’s not labeled sinful, just insane. And, since guilt cannot be held comfortably in the mind, it must be projected. This then gives rise to the “hero” as the ego’s star in its own movie, and as mentioned, the illusion of body. In this body—that the ego so desperately loves—we become a victim of others’ cruelty. A puppet of sickness or fate, and are seemingly bound to witness a world composed of attack and defense. However, the entirety of this script is a deflection that tries to hide the real cause, the guilt in the mind. This world is nothing less than a place where guilt can be acted out rather than released.
Now, dis-ease, as mentioned, is not simply a physical affliction. It is the manifestation of a misaligned perception which creates a denial of wholeness. The world we see is not reality. It is a reflection of our internal state, projected outward. This does not mean what you feel is not real. It is not that the world is inherently false, but that the way we see it is filtered through a lens of judgment, guilt, and fear. This fractured lens or way of seeing the world leads us to continually re-create conditions of suffering. Often we interact with the world without realisating we are perpetuating the inner split. This emanates how the ego utilizes perception. Rather than shifting towards one of unity and rooting more deeply in the now, it maintains the illusion of separation through a marriage of tricks. It thinks it's making things better by seeking and leading us towards immediate comfort, but this often ignores the root of the problem hiding right within our now. The ego goes hand in hand with any thoughts that hold desire to escape from the moment. Desire rooted in yearning for something or a sense of lack is a subtle (or often not so subtle) whisper that we hold as judgement within our now. This creates psychological time that we then carry with us as a shadow within our now unless we remain consciously aware of these subtle whispers as they arise. The ego truly means well. It feels as if it is the hero in this journey. It thinks that it is releasing us from our troubles, but in reality it is just avoiding the monster under the bed.
It leads us to believe that feel as if it would provide a great relief for the perspective of you, however its perspective to the whole now is so limited that it can truly never provide you with a proper sense of judgement.
This is why we must not be quick to judge.
“Right perception,” as it is known, is that act of learning how to sift out the ego alignments based on misidentification. This right perception guided by the Holy Spirit, often guides us forward in a manner that is not about making the illusion more comfortable but it does align us in a manner that allows us to start to see through it. It guides us in the choice of Love over fear. To recognize that what seems “out there” is but a call for healing in here. In the here. In the Now. When we choose to see “rightly,” or more perceptually attuned with Love, the Holy Spirit, or higher mind, we no longer reinforce the illusion. We begin the process of undoing it. Moment after moment of radical forgiveness and integration allows us to realize the wholeness we’ve perceptually fractalized from “in the beginning.”
The miracle then is a correction in perception, a correction of the mind. It does not fix the world; it restores the mind, or the way in which the mind views the world. It replaces attack with love, judgement with forgiveness, and fear with peace. In doing so, the projection ceases and healing begins. Not as a doing, but as a remembering.
The world we see is not real in the absolute sense. Not because it doesn’t exist, but because it doesn’t reflect the eternal truth of our being. When we cease to view ourselves as separate and stop reaching outside of the now for salvation we realign the perception of reality and the mirror of Source reflects this wholeness right back to us and through us.
This right perception is not just a lens, it is a choice. The misperception goes far beyond what the eyes will provide within our healing journey. The focus is not to seek a visual experiential sense of seeing no separation, but to realign with the experiential perception of unity within the qualities of your mind. To align the mind with Love rather than feeding the experiential lens of the egoic mind that wants to continue to feed off perceived psychological time. This is important as perception is happening “through us,” not “to us.” We create our experiential reality based on the way in which we integrate within our now.
Let’s reflect again upon what we’ve begun to stir up from deep within our subconscious; sin has no weight. This is because it does not exist within the eternal now. It isn’t even forgiven because it was never truly real. This being because we are (and are not) eternally basking in Love’s presence in reality. Sin is but a shadow cast by the belief in separation, but it has no sustenance as we are always in the now, and the now is always aligned with divine presence. This is why “past sin” carries no enduring reality unless our minds insist on holding it. From the perspective of Source, sin has no weight. But, as of our now, our collective belief in it has created a weight for it. Forgiveness then allows us the freedom to release this belief. Not in a pardoning of wrongdoing, but in recognizing the unreality in which we’ve otherwise perceptually created and come to “know” as real.
Let's look at this through a metaphor Source has woven into our “reality” through our collective consciousness, the popular sandbox game Minecraft. For all those who are unfamiliar Minecraft is a 3D sandbox adventure game where players explore a virtual world entirely composed of 3D cubes. With these cubes players can explore, build, craft, and battle to seemingly unlimited proportions. It offers diverse gameplay options and allows players to choose their preferred playstyle and create virtually anything they can imagine. When we step into Minecraft (or this “world” we call reality) we enter a sandbox reality that feels limitless. Feels like freedom. Yet the larger part of our real creative selves or Selves (in relation to our current experience) is sitting on the other end of a screen. The deeper Self never enters the game.
This creation of such a game and the response of so many being drawn to it within our collective consciousness is no coincidence. This is the law of attraction and “as above, so below, as within, so without” working through the collective psyche. It is, however, a gift that serves as a prominent example of our current alignment to Source and our Higher Selves. The arising of this game mirrors our collective dream: to feel like we are the creators, when in truth we are forgetful creators, embedded inside a simulation fueled by our desires and consistent misperceptions. Does this mean we should swear off our world as it is not “real”? No! We ought actually do the very opposite. We ought to remember that this world is not a prison but a larger framework helping to slowly guide us to the realization of our Whole Being. This disconnection is not a punishment. And it is not to be turned away from. The “split” from our Higher Selves is, as of right now, a curriculum and collective field that helps us discover that the “split” we currently feel can heal or become “unreal” only after we feel it fully. Real awakening will not come from resisting our current perceptually “limited” world, but by feeling into it with the guidance of the Holy Spirit/Higher Selves. This allows for the inversion and merger into wholeness. Not through rejection, but through a continual “re-seeing” in a more holistic manner. When we truly begin to see and feel the Christ within everyone and everywhere rather than placing limitations on where it “should” or “shouldn’t” be, our perception will then be mirroring all qualities of Source rather than only aligning with some of them. Let’s dive into the concept of Christ more fully.
Although Jesus held the name of Jesus Chirst, this was not a claim of ownership over being “the” Christ. Christ is not a person. It is a shared identity—a state of divine awareness, unity, and remembrance. This is why it is his last name. It’s an indication of a family dynamic. We are all part of this family of Christ and there is no one within our family that is more entitled to any specific “position” within this family. We are all part of the tree of life, love, and unity. A tree made of “you,” and of “me.” You “knit” or complete me, just as much as I knit and complete you. Throughout the Course, Jesus never asserts Christ as a personal exclusive title.
He says: “is he the Christ? O yes, along with you.”
Jesus’s message is a mirror for what is universally true. He is the demonstration of what we all are. This becomes ever more apparent through each and every embodied moment of right perception. Each moment shared in awareness with Christ Vision thins the veil of separation more and more. Yeshua is not seeking worship. He is extending recognition for us all to realize what we really are—Who we really are. Christ is not a being—it is Being. A radiant field of coherence that, when seen and felt with Christ vision, restores all perception to wholeness. There are many lessons throughout the book in which such recalibration is gently instructed. Some examples from the Course include: In quiet reflection, ask:
“Let me see through the eyes of Christ.”
And,
When you look at others, inwardly say: “You are the Christ, whole and innocent. All is forgiven and released.”
These practices gently guide perception from form to essence. From judgement to one to remembrance of the unity woven within all. This is the invitation to see the world through Christ Vision. The perception of unity, innocence, and shared identity of the Sonship rather than “the eyes of the ego,” which see separation, judgement, and form. The Vision of Christ is the miracle in which everyone and everything is recognized as part of you. As mentioned, in the Course:
“forgiveness is the key to happiness. It is the means by which the world disappears and we remember who we are.”
This is not about overlooking wrongs, but a complete re-seeing. This being a shift in perception where the false is let go and only the truth remains. This is the undoing which opens the way for the joy, fulfillment, and peace to naturally arise as we shift into this unified state of perception.
I’d like to take a moment and tie this into a recent transmission I came across through the channelled explorations of a collective intelligence known as “Bashar.” To reference ACIM (A Course In Miracles) once more, atonement is the full recognition of our unity in the Sonship, dissolving all separation. From our current now viewpoint, every awareness still holding separation has yet to complete this atonement realization. Again, true at-one-ment is the shift beyond individuality into undivided consciousness. Any expression emanating from a Shared Identity is otherwise part of the Sonship. Barshar then, as a channelled group consciousness is participating in this same underlying field.
Ultimately, the invitation being provided for us is this: to accept full authorship of perception, on an individual and collective level, thereby reclaiming the power to change it. This is not done by force, but through surrendering judgement and rooting into the feeling of our now and resisting the temptations to feed the ego’s thoughts tied to misidentification with self as they are exposed within our now. It's not that this resistance requires effort, but rather the willingness to open oneself up to guidance. Even the smallest yes when authentically given carries infinite power due to its alignment with Source. The invitation is not to strive for “right vision” but to allow it. To allow ourselves to be guided into it by the Holy Spirit. To say yes to the now— yes within the now—and thus, begin to see as God sees.
Now let's build a better intellectual understanding of the Holy Spirit so we can go forth and create a better experiential relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not merely your higher self, it is the memory of God in you. The way the Holy Spirit utilizes memory is to remind us eternally, in the now that we are whole. To remind us that in a way, (and everyway) we never left the Eternal NOW. The way we utilize memory in our current orientation of perception is much different. We utilize memory to “seemingly” create a past by perpetually hanging onto a certain feeling in our now moment.
There is only the now, but it is our relation to it that otherwise creates the illusion of the past. This is why we ought to turn to the Holy Spirit/Higher Self and receive proper guidance. Our perception of the now is skewed/limited, while the Holy Spirits’ is not. Our individual “yes” and “no” only become coherent when they are not sourced from our separate will. Just as we hold a limited perspective from the larger operation of the now and ought not judge a happening with our now—as doing so would otherwise be doubting the capabilities of God and thus feeding the very form of thought that feeds our current mistake of perception—so too, should we extend our ears beyond that of our individual will. As we begin to establish a relationship with the Holy Spirit/Higher Self and develop a sense of deep listening internally to the Will of God within, then, surely yet gently, are we guided out of a state of judgement and lead into one of peace. Peace, happiness, and joy are not emotions or feelings to be forced, but rather naturally arise in the moment when we align more fully with our whole Self. This happens through discernment, but this action of discernment is not done through you alone. It’s done with your whole Self. It’s an attunement or a tuning into the larger Self that we’ve perceptually “divided” ourselves from.
The course never asks us to fight the ego, we need only stop choosing it or “feeding it.” One quick manifestation of the ego to be aware of is the attachment to effort. The sense of “clearing space” or “transmuting” should always be held in lightness. If we are exerting too much in our endeavor to reach towards right perception, then this very reaching becomes another layer of the ego. Our awareness, our surrender, our yes, must come from a state of rest, not a state of resistance. A state of being rather than the feeling of doing or “needing to do.”
Think about it. When we reach for something, we are otherwise tuned into a mode in which we are subconsciously saying, “we do not have this yet.” Reaching implies it is not here. When we emit this feeling of not having, Source then too, being a mirror of our perceptual attunement, will then adjust our experience to one of “not having.” This is why these inner undoings will take place from a place of rest and surrender.
These undoings will also indeed be deeply personal to each individual. Yet, it's important to realize that every clearing we enact within our perception is for the healing of the collective, the totality of the One Self. If the clearing or healing is sought only for personal gain, this then too, becomes another emanation of the ego hiding behind a different shadow. However, on the flip side, every time any “one” of us unbinds a misperception, the light of that release becomes available to all minds. This is no metaphor, we are all connected. Every release we make on an individual level releases the whole a little bit more. This healing goes far beyond humanities healing. This illusion of separation has been distributed throughout many operations of the Sonship. However, as of right now, the healing of the all starts with us weaving together our wounded selves hiding in the shadows right beneath our very now.
Now, even though we are in a dream of misperception and are otherwise bound to some state of separation until the final atonement or “at-one-ment,” we can, and will come to a state of dreaming in which the dream will be experientially happy. Not just happy, but ecstatic in nature. This will naturally arise when we no longer resist the dream, but rather illuminate it with remembrance. This will take place as a subtle yet profound reorientation from dreaming as delusion to dreaming as devotion. As we dissolve the densities of misperception through embodied forgiveness and radical acceptance of the now, the dream will begin to lose its gravity. We will literally become light and embodied play. Within this field of right perception, other expressions of the Divine dreamer will reveal themselves to us. Fairies, dragons, extraterrestrials, and many more currently unfathomable expressions will be opened up to our awareness. This won’t be done by their choosing, it will be done through our undoing.
The veil will thin more and more after each moment we hold with full awareness. The closer we get to moving out of the dream, the more we’ll be overflowing with joy and laughter. This is why the Course ends in laughter. Laughter is the natural result that recognizes that nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exist. It is not frivolous, it is the echo of realization. The joy of knowing you are awake even while dreaming. When we allow ourselves the peace of this knowing, even the dream becomes sacred.
However, it is very important to be aware of any tendency to reach onto this scene in which was just outlined above. If joy is reserved for some future consummation, then it has shifted to a sense of conditional joy. This is no longer joy. That very same delay mechanism, “when this happens, then I’ll feel happy,” is the architecture of the very perceptual narrowing that we are collectively and individually unlearning.
This cosmic dance outline is not a destination, it’s a frequency that is already here. It’s waiting not to arrive, but to be returned to. The Course does not conclude with laughter because something “finally went right,” but because all that was ever “wrong” is seen through and forgiven. The dance begins not when we finish the undoing, but when we stop believing that the undoing is the prerequisite for joy.
The Course’s laughter is not the laughter of mockery, but a laughter of lightness that naturally arises from within when we realize we were never really in danger, never alone, and never exiled from God. It is the laughter that arises when a nightmare ends and we remember we were safe in our beds all along.
And yet—this is not to bypass pain. True laughter is not escapism. It is the alchemical inversion of grief. To laugh with God is to see that nothing was ever truly separate. However, to arrive at that laughter authentically, each shadow must first be welcomed to the dance floor within our now. When our fears dissolve and judgements fall away, our “errors” become instruments of grace. There is no punishment in Truth—only correction. And correction, in the field of Love, is a celebration of reunion. So let’s celebrate now. Not because it is "finally time,” but because time itself dissolves when we celebrate the present that is wrapped in the gift of the eternally present presence of the now.
Now that we see that it’s the unwrapping of our shadow hidden within this very now that holds incomprehensible happiness, joy, and abundance in disguise, lets feel a bit more into what this undoing may entail. The shadow is both: the uneasy—yet the happy, the fear—yet the freedom. What feels like decent is actually ascent in disguise, peeling away misperception that no longer serves. And yes, to the limited self, this undoing can feel disorienting, painful, and even regressive, but to the Self beyond the self, it is the gateway. Thus, the laughter doesn’t come from bypassing the pain. It’s not that it gets worse before it gets better—it’s that what was buried comes into light. And when the light meets the buried shadow, it can feel like things are worsening, but in truth it is an unburdening. It is the process of allowing these discomforts that is the initiation into freedom. Not through spiritual bypass, not through numbing or escapism, but through the gentle courage to stay with what arises in the now. Joy and light are not earned through suffering, but revealed when suffering is no longer resisted, justified, or made sacred. This is the true healing. This is The Miracle.
Before we apply the above curriculum to real world examples, let’s outline generic orientations held between the self and the now. First, desire is not inherently egoic. Desire is the motion of becoming and this becoming is a natural emergence from the womb of stillness. It is only when desire is attached to outcome or used to escape “what is” that it feeds illusion. Otherwise, it can serve as a doorway to coherence for cosmic dreamer as we are yet coming to remember our oneness.
