Seeing They See And Yet Do Not Perceive
The deeper we move into our healing process, the more the Universal Christ love awakens and rises from within the very core of everyone’s own being. The warmth of Its energy radiates from our heart and from there, over time, slowly but surely fills our whole being. This is the only way it is possible to gain access to the Divine blessing and healing energy the Jesus legend tells us about when the Master says: ‘The Father/Mother and I, we are one, and I rejoice and let It’. And: ‘No-one comes to the Father, except through me. This is a clear indication that it is the Cosmic Christ, the only born Son of the Great Father/Mother of all life, who is waiting to speak and work through all aspiring Master souls.
Walking in his footsteps and following his example by constantly calling upon and working with the living Christ within is every healer’s personal task. This needs to continue until the Divine spark in our heart has not only re-awakened but grown into a powerful flame that burns away and eliminates every last shred of the emotional/spiritual dross our soul has accumulated in the course of all our lifetimes thus far. The living God within, our inner guidance, is waiting to teach us intuitively how to transmute every last one of our fears and anxieties of past ages into the pure gold of renewed hope, faith and trust in God, ourselves and the life that by the Grace of God has been given to us.
What a long way the evolution of our race has come since the allegory of Jesus, the teacher and healer, first appeared in our world. In my view, whether in truth such a man ever really existed is irrelevant to our present investigations. What is important is the recognition that the Master taught mostly in parables. This ensured that, until fairly recently, the underlying higher meanings of his messages remained hidden from public view and knowledge. That is why the Master tells his disciples in St. Mark 4: 11-13: ‘To you is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to outsiders everything has to be explained in parables. For seeing they see and yet, do not perceive; and hearing they hear and yet, do not understand. Should they return, their sins would be forgiven. And he said to them: ‘Do you understand this parable? How then will you understand all the [other] parables?’
The Divine author of the Jesus story undoubtedly appreciated that very few in our world at that time were sufficiently evolved to grasp the true meaning of these words. However, as the evolutionary cycle of our race progressed, ever more of us would eventually discover their true esoteric meaning and finally the glorious day would arrive when all of us have mastered this level of life, by living it the way the legend describes. For anyone eager to get there, it is essential not to fall into the trap of constantly chasing around like a thing possessed, hardly ever standing still, but running, running, running – as so many these days are doing. I feel sorry for people who behave in that manner. What chance of discovering for themselves to they have that God’s unchangeable and eternal truths are known in the depths and stillness of everybody’s own being? They cannot be found anywhere else and can only be accessed from within and never without. But fear not for them! Each in their own sweet time is sure to find their way back home into their true nature and the oneness with God.
Wise ones appreciate that, instead of chasing like mad after their own tail, they are better off attending to their inner healing journey, in spite of the fact that this can be a long, slow and painful process. And if it is like that for you – as it has been for a very long time for me – nothing could ever be more worthy of our attention. As with all journeys, the arrival does not matter anything like as much as the experiences one gathers and the interesting people one meets, along the way. It is astonishing how much one can learn from even the most humble soul or maybe especially from them. I have always had my doubts whether travelling in the physical body really does expand anyone’s horizons; the inner journey never fails to do so. Yet, it is by no means a task for the faint-hearted, for within the bowl of our self we all carry around with us the emotional and spiritual wounds of all lifetimes, not merely of this one; and all are waiting to be understood, accepted and healed.
To my mind, the balm that brings most healing to all parts of our being comes through gradually finding a better understanding of the general purpose of life, as well as of people and their hidden motivations and agendas. Healing energy starts to flow with the simple discovery that Earth life is but a school and that every earthly lifetime is meant to be a journey of discovery. Its strength increases each time we find forgiveness for ourselves and for all those who ever hurt or wounded us. There is a small frightened child hiding within everybody’s subconscious. Because this child is so terrified, it can be difficult to approach.
It takes time and constant efforts, until the knowledge one gathers has been digested sufficiently, so it can slowly sink ever deeper into our subconscious and finally reaches the very core of our being. Only through this process can the newly found understanding of the conscious part eventually be accepted by our subconscious. When this happens, our inner child also heals. Initially, it does not help one bit when the adult self tries to make it clear to the child self that we ourselves chose all those painful experiences. Alas, a great deal of patience, perseverance and forgiveness, for ourselves and others, is needed until our child finally accepts that it and we are safe now and that the way things did happen was the only way of resolving and letting go of some of our most ancient Karma and of partaking in some of our most vital lessons.
