I come to you through you for a purpose at this time. I come to let your brothers and sisters know what lies ahead for them and how they must prepare. Barry, my friend and brother, you must only be a messenger. There can be no "you" in this message.

Great travail is about to come upon your planet Earth. We have held off these changes for as long as possible. Now it can wait no longer. The time is now. We bring these changes not as punishment, but as necessary catalyzing to allow the new age to be birthed. As you have seen recently, mankind is embroiled in certain patterns of thought and behavior which have become so very rigid and unbending that it needs assistance from external sources to surrender these impediments to the birth of a Christ-conscious Earth.

Love must prevail upon the Earth. It is the dictate of the next cycle. The Earth has asked for this. Collective humanity has asked for this. Yet you struggle against fear and your conditioning. Habit does not die easily. The habit of fear and separation is an ancient one that permeates even to the recesses of your cells and DNA. In a way it must be burned from the collective unconscious by the fire of love and spirit. It is not easy to let go of it voluntarily.

The changes that come may seem violent on the surface. Yet I assure you that they are the gentlest way possible to release you from your bondage. If there were a gentler way, it would be used, for the universe is based in love. Its very fabric is spun of the golden light of the Christ. You cannot, for the most part, see this. In the changes that are to come, you will come to know the many faces of love. You will see it even in the eyes of the hungry and broken. For they will mirror that in you which you have denied. When the heart is lost it must be found by any means. And you my brothers and sisters have lost your heart, and yes, even your soul.

As you look around you, this evidence is everywhere. Your polluted oceans, rain that falls as acid, the homeless who shiver in hunger, those besieged by violence and despotism. Even in your richer lands, where there is no need of want, many now suffer needlessly.

The great Mother of All comes upon you now to remind you of the lessons of inter-connectedness. All is One. The suffering in your seas are you. The homeless and disenfranchised are you. The mothers who are without husband or outside support and struggle to nurture life are you. Life has been greatly damaged. The Earth holds great pain. Deep in the collective unconscious, a scream is building. Life must begin again anew. It is time for this pain to be felt and released. And so it must be. It shall come to pass that the great healing shall begin now. And the face of pain shall bring you all into each other’s arms, and to the truth of love.

We come to you now from many directions. In your pain, you find yourself more ready to listen. This is another of its purposes. We have always been near, attempting to reach you. Soon many will be ready to listen, and so we shall speak through the mouths and pens of many.

We are the Christ. I AM the Christ. We are in each one of you. I AM in each one of you. The great crisis is the birth of this realization. Like all births, there is pain, but the suffering is small in comparison to the great blessing of the Christ child which emerges.

We will be with you more and more in your outer and inner experience in the days ahead. You will not be alone.

—The Christ
