JANU: We have before us this evening that which is in need of the wise counsel of the elders of the true church of Christ. Now, we use this terminology to illustrate the divine counterparts to the ideals of many of your people.
Those in need, of which we speak, are those in confusion, divided to a degree between loyalties to their physical church and teachings and leaders and traditions and doctrine, and to the welling up in the heart of that which is the purity of the truth of their True Nature and that of the circumstance of life. The true church of Christ lowers itself in a sense to touch this evening those hearts. Not to teach doctrine, not to command loyalty or commitment or service to, or even faith but to bring blessing within the heart of the experience of the reality and the presence of that which they seek from deep within. The true church of Christ requires nothing of them. It only loves, for the fullness in the genius in the beauty of life is revealed through the profound peace of this experience, not struggle, and not confusion, and certainly not doctrine or ritual.
So we take the time this evening to touch hearts with that divine presence to satisfy longings and searchings in the emptiness that is not understood. What they are filled with is a full measure of their own divinity, their own completeness and their own capacity to enjoy all of life as a loving creator, beyond years in wisdom and ongoingness. In this fullness of experience they can sense the larger purpose of life and of their chosen journey’s purpose and they will find the peace of true knowingness and the joy in the life that they are and the life they create. In the richness of this discovery, one finds the freedom to be generous without reservation to the rest of life.
Let this be a true gift of Christmas in this season and celebrate life more completely. All over your world this experience and understanding is being given. Honor the Christ in this way. And the true church of Christ do we serve this evening. Bidding you good evening and namaste.
