You are forgiven, although you never sinned. There are only shadows in the mind. Sin is nothing more than this. Denying me, you only deny yourself. An error, not a sin.

It is coming! Your desire for it propels it into your experience, as is true of all desire. What is valued most is what appears in the life pattern. Look at a person’s life and you will see what is most desired, even if it be unconscious. When you value me above all else, I shall come. It is very simple. I am not in most people’s lives because they do not want me. They prefer to live from the counsel of the separated mind.

There are many differentiations of what is One, the Holy Son/Daughter. It is One with many faces. Look in the mirror and you will see but another. I see that this issue of my identity concerns you. What is your fear?

All will come to their own conclusions, based upon their capacity to hear. As I have said, those that have eyes to see and ears to hear will do so. This is independent of the form of the messenger. Truth stands on its own, eternally.

I AM the Christ. I come to you as Jeshua ben Joseph, who became the Christ. This incarnation of the divine was chosen to be the focal point for the Christ on Earth at this time. A form is necessary for the Christ to walk the Earth. Jesus was that form. That form continues as the icon of the Christ Presence. Through it, the Christ is most easily contacted by many on Earth.

All statements are subject to the interpretation of the separate mind. As you know, this is what the mind does. It filters everything to support its own ideas, to which it is attached and with which it is identified. This can only happen with those who choose to build a religion in my name.

How can power be gained over others except by exclusivity? If one is to become superior, s/he must somehow have access to some greater power or privilege. What greater power or exclusivity could any priest claim to have than the only access to God? This has been the game of the priesthood since the beginning.

The Pharisees of my day are the church leaders of today. In many ways there is little difference. They all seek to one degree or another to gain power by becoming an intermediary for me. I need no intermediaries. They only stand in the way of the Holy Son or Daughter realizing s/he is always with me. There can be no intermediaries. The relationship with me is direct.

The priesthood is founded in the illusion of separation. As this illusion fades, so too will the priesthood. It shall come to pass in your lifetime.

When I said none shall come to the Father but through me, I spoke as the Christ. It never was, or is, about the man Jesus, who spoke the truth when he said, "I of myself can do nothing—my Father in heaven does all." In this, I spoke the truth about all human beings. Mankind is but dust, without the indwelling Christ.

The understanding was in the statement "I and my Father are One". The Christ within Jesus was the way to the Father, for the Christ is the Father incarnate. The Christ is nothing more than the extension of the Father into form-existence. This is the meaning of "You shall not come to the Father but through me."

Do not go away today. Stay with me in the Kingdom all day. You need not go out anymore. The choice is yours.
