Portrait of Jeshua
(Jesus) materialized by
Sri Satya Sai Baba
|
I am the one who has been among you and who you have come to know
as Jesus.
I am not the Jesus of your church tradition or the Jesus
of your religious writings.
I am Jeshua-ben-Joseph; I have lived as a man of flesh
and blood.
I did reach Christ consciousness before you, but I was supported
in this by powers which are beyond your imagination at present.
My coming was a cosmic event - I made myself available for
this.
It wasn’t easy. I did not succeed in my endeavours to pass
on to people the immensity of God’s love. There was much misunderstanding.
I came too early, but someone had to come. My coming was
like throwing a stone in a large fishpond. All fish flee
and the stone sinks into the deep. There are ripples noticeable
long after though. One might say that the kind of consciousness
I wished to convey, did its work underground after that.
At the surface of the pool there were constant ruffles; well-meant
but misguided interpretations rose to meet and fight each other
in my name. The ones who were touched by my energy, moved by the
impulse of Christ energy, could not really integrate it with their
psychological and physical reality.
It has taken a long time before Christ consciousness could set
foot on earth. But now the time has come. And I have returned
and speak through many, through all and to everyone who wants to
hear me and who has come to understand me from the quietness of
their hearts. I do not preach and I do not judge. My sincerest hope
is to speak to you of the vast and unfailing presence of Love, accessible
to you at any time.
I am part of
a much larger consciousness, a greater entity, but I,
Jeshua, am the incarnated part of that entity (or field
of consciousness). I do not like the name Jesus much,
for it has become so caught up with a distorted version
of what I stand for. ‘Jesus’ is
owned by the church traditions and authorities. He has been
molded to fit the interests of the church patriarchs for
centuries, so much so that the prevailing image of Jesus
is now so far removed from what I represent, that it
would truly please me if you could just let it go and
release me from that heritage. [read
