You may
wish to review the message wherein we mentioned some of the many ways your society
has been generating light in abundance. Feeling grateful for the myriad
contributions to the betterment of your world sends forth its own light in
grand amount. [The referenced message is August 15, 2013.]
Yes, a
great deal still is to be done and shall be. The energy momentum keeps
strengthening the forcefulness of all thoughts and feelings, so we repeat our
guidance to not think of needful conditions with a heavy heart; instead,
envision Earth within golden-white light so this image and your desire for
benevolent changes go out into the universe and return with additional light.
Although some closed minds and hearts are trying to keep the status quo,
changes toward peace, cooperation and sufficiency for all are solidly underway,
and the more light energy they receive, the sooner they will be manifested.
Please
continue being discerning about all information, including articles and
channeled material on the Internet. Mainstream media still are controlled to a
large extent, with emphasis on the negative and scandals; but it is heartening
that more and more stories of kindness, sharing of resources and successful
endeavors from grass roots upward also are being featured.
Reporters
are among the majority of your populace who have no idea that members of our
universal family would prevent the talked-about possibilities, such as North
Korea may detonate nuclear warheads and wipe out vast areas or radiation from
Fukushima eventually may kill millions. They don’t know that it isn’t Gaia’s
desire for oceans to become so warm that all marine life dies and all
coastlines move inland hundreds of miles, so those will not happen either. Most
of Earth’s residents don’t know that prevailing frequencies are conducive to
national leaders choosing to talk instead of do battle, or economic and
diplomatic discussions are going on behind the scenes, or many millions of
souls are experiencing what they chose to balance other lifetimes and evolve.
You do know
that, beloved family, so surge forward throughout this new year with uplifted
hearts and positive thoughts and keep expanding the light in your world. You
ARE the changes you want!
Now I am
speaking as Matthew only. I asked my mother to copy a response to our December
message: Your message was lovely except for leaving out that Jesus’ birth is
the reason for this holy-day season. I think I am open-minded and intuitive,
but what you have said about Jesus not being crucified is NOT believable. How
can someone as evolved as you make yourself out to be not know something that
important?
The writer
is one of the many, many people who believe the biblical story about the
crucifixion. Knowing at conscious level the truth you know at soul level is a
vital part of evolvement, and holding fast to beliefs based on falsehoods deters
advancement. That’s why I felt it could be helpful to tell you how I know the
Bible differs dramatically from the truth. God said “Yes, it is the time,” and
so I shall.
Always I
have spoken from personal knowledge as Matthew the apostle—it is the best known
today of my lives on Earth—and the thousands of other lifetimes that began when
Archangel Michael’s powerful energy manifested its first personage in this
universe. The cumulative knowledge of all my personages has enabled me to speak
about things I didn’t consciously know during the lifetime that became known as
Matthew, the apostle; however, I shall call upon that knowledge as I tell you
about my years with Jesus.
My mother
has known about that lifetime since our earliest conversations, twenty years
ago, and when she asked if I would ever mention it in a message, I told her
perhaps, someday, but the apostle identity isn’t important. What is important
is that the information she received from me and the others be respected for
itself. Readers of the books and messages need to intuitively know the truth of
the information, and offering guidance to help them hear, trust and heed their
“inner voice” in all life circumstances is one of the primary reasons for our
mother-and-son collaboration.
Now then,
many people believe everything in the Bible is true because they have been
taught that it is the “word of God” written by God-inspired individuals. That
is not so. The innumerable erroneous parts of the Bible include mistakes in
translations of Aramaic and Greek records—one is “babe in a manger”—along with
translators’ alterations that fit their personal beliefs. Those were compounded
by more of the same in later translations; however, the most serious departures
from authentic records are the omissions and additions that were deliberately
meant to deceive.
Parts of
the Old Testament came from the early leaders of church and state. Individuals
had a closer relationship with God then, and to make the populace conform to
the leaders’ desire for control and wealth, they needed to distance the people
from God. They concocted a wrathful, fearsome God who told some of the people
that others were their enemies, go forth and slay them; and told a father to
kill his son as proof of his obedience to His commands.
During the
ensuing centuries, principals in the Catholic Church wrote religious rules and
called them “God’s laws” so as to cement their control over the masses and
acquire ever-vaster fortunes. To put more distance between the people and God,
they added a layer of saints; and to exalt themselves, they instituted papal
infallibility and established the Vatican as an independent state. They came up
with an immaculate conception, whereby Mary was conceived, and made her the
virgin mother of Jesus to convince the masses that he is the “only son of God.”
I shall
tell you from whence Jesus came. The soul that eons later embodied as Jesus
originated in the Christed realm, the cosmic realm closest to Creator, where
the first souls, the archangels, came into being. At some point, they made the
next angelic realm and the highest gods and goddesses. These souls were given
the choice to remain as the pure love-light energy essence of Creator—that was
the choice of the Supreme Being of this universe that many call God—or to
incarnate. One of the souls that chose the latter is known in this universe as
Sananda. This soul has had lifetimes in civilizations throughout the cosmos and
is the “parent,” or more properly, the cumulative soul of the person you know
as Jesus.
To continue
about the Bible, much of its most deceptive information is ascribed to the four
apostles, and somewhere along the line we were given saint status. Some
scholars think Luke and I copied parts of what Mark wrote in his gospel and
added them to ours, but I’m curious as to why they left out John—the blatant
lies that were put in our gospels were put in his, too. Some modern versions of
the Bible dropped our sainthood; however, in my mother’s old, well-worn King
James edition, it is the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, and she will
accommodate me by copying the parts I request.
First,
though, I shall describe Jesus and Mary Magdalene so you can imagine them as I
speak about them. Jesus was outgoing, not as vivacious as Mary but always
pleasant of temperament. He was what I would call a commanding figure—taller
than most men and slender but strong and muscular, with erect posture. His fair
skin had tanned from years in the sun and his gray eyes sometimes had a tinge
of blue; his hair was light brown and long, as was the style, but he kept his
beard and mustache closely trimmed. Mary was an extremely pretty and
delightfully personable, gracious young woman. In appearance she was petite,
fair-complexioned and had sparkling brown eyes and cascading brown hair.
Both of
them were born into respected upper-class families, intelligent, well-educated
for the times, and the finest of friends for many years before they married.
They had a large, happy family, and after long, full lives, they left their
bodies and moved on to lifetimes of service to God in other places in this
universe; however, the power of their love-light energy always is with souls on
Earth, just as elsewhere.
But I’m
getting ahead of myself and way ahead of the gospel of St. Matthew. As a young
man I started keeping a journal of interesting encounters and, like my notes
before I met Jesus, those afterwards were meant to serve only as reference and
reading enjoyment in my old age.
My records
did not begin with the lineage from Abraham to Joseph, Jesus’ father, but since
St. Matthew does, I shall speak about that. Several months after I met Jesus,
the genealogy was shown to me by a man who copied it from someone’s record who
copied it from another’s record and so on and so on. I tucked into my journal
the list I wrote with the note that I’d been told its accuracy couldn’t be
verified. It was not a broadly literate society, thus lore and legend were
handed down from one generation to the next, and it was commonly understood
that often the accounts were embellished or details forgotten by successive
storytellers. Yet, it became biblical “history.”
Next in St.
Matthew comes: “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, was found with
child of the Holy Ghost.” …. “Joseph knew her not till she had brought forth
her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.” None of that was in my
records, and why would it be? I didn’t meet Jesus until many years later, and
neither he nor his parents ever told me anything like that. Nevertheless, it
was attributed to me and written similarly in the other gospels to substantiate
the Catholic Church’s version of Jesus’ birth.
Furthermore,
all of my notes were about Emmanuel, the name everyone called him. I don’t know
why it was decided that in the Bible, his name should be Jesus, and it’s odd,
or an oversight, that this also was put into that chapter: “… and they shall
call his name Emmanuel.” It’s because you know him as Jesus that I always have
referred to him by that name.
Those were
indeed harsh, cruel times. The slaughter of infant and toddler males is
true—however, I didn’t note that in my journal—and so is the flight of Jesus’
family to Egypt and return to their homeland when it was safe. I recorded what
they told me about their experiences then as well as numerous other family
highlights during the many enjoyable evenings I spent with Jesus, his siblings and
their parents. Often Mary Magdalene was there too, and conversations were
lively. We spoke Aramaic, occasionally lapsing into Greek for an apt
expression, and there was much laughter because we didn’t always talk about
serious matters. Jesus listened attentively to whomever was speaking, and many
a time I saw his eyes twinkle when Mary was excitedly chattering about
something or other.
As a
part-time teacher of elementary and advanced students—there was no word for
tutor then—the closest I came to the tax collection profession was meeting
Jesus on a street where men were busily engaged at the collecting and counting
tables. I recognized him from a small group I had chanced upon the previous
evening, so I greeted him, he invited me to accompany him, I did, and we talked
as we walked along. That’s how I wrote about our meeting, along with
discovering that we both enjoyed water sports and had a mutual acquaintance and
Jesus said he recently started speaking in public. That was the point in my
journal where my notes about our friendship started, and I wrote about it in
first person—it was my experience.
However,
according to St. Matthew: “And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man,
named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow
me. And he arose, and followed him.” Evidently it didn’t occur to whoever
changed my notes that folks might think it strange that Matthew would write so
awkwardly and briefly about a life-changing experience and very strange that
our meeting came after the “sermon on the mount” that previously “I” had
written in St. Matthew. It does explain, though, why I am thought of as the tax
collector who became a disciple.
Jesus
didn’t call us disciples. After he became known for his teachings, some in the
Sanhedrin started referring to people who attended gatherings where he spoke as
“his disciples.” As for the twelve the Bible gives that designation, Jesus met
each of us in his travels around the Sea of Galilee and friendships were
formed, but he didn’t ask any of us to forsake our livelihoods and “follow”
him. I had the good fortune of living near him, which afforded me the enjoyment
of his company far more often than the other “disciples” could spend time with
him.
According
to St. Matthew: “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them:… “Heal the
sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils.” That endows us with
abilities none of us had! But we did know Jesus’ abilities and how he had come
by them, so when I was along on a boat outing, I had no reason to put in my
journal, we “marvelled” that “even the winds and the sea obey him!” and I
didn’t.
In St.
Matthew, after Jesus met two men “possessed with devils,” he cast them out and
put them in a swine herd that “ran violently down a steep place into the sea,
and perished in the waters.” …. “And, behold, the whole city came out to meet
Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of
their coasts.” As Jesus recounted the incident to me, after he ushered into the
light the entities that were tormenting the men’s minds, he continued on his
solitary way until he and I met up, and that’s how I penned my account of it.
The
gospel’s version of Jesus spending forty days in the wilderness, where he
refused to be tempted by the devil, is a dreadful elaboration of the short note
in my journal: Jesus liked to spend time in solitude with Nature, where he
could talk with God or muse without distraction and, like the others who knew
him well, I honored that by keeping my distance.
What became
known as “sermon on the mount” was someone’s compilation of my copious notes at
numerous small gatherings where Jesus would speak, people would ask questions
and he would answer—there was a lot of interaction early on. But as word of his
teachings spread and crowds grew, people listened without interrupting and he
spoke about many of the things that became the “sermon.” I didn’t call it that.
Jesus wasn’t a preacher, he was a teacher who was passionate about sharing his
knowledge. He knew it was what he was meant to do, and that was the great
difference between him and everyone else—his conscious mind always was
connected with his soul and he lived accordingly.
The sermon
does preserve much of his wisdom and enlightenment and of course I’m gratified
about that, but it doesn’t include some of his important teachings noted in my
journal, like the purpose of multiple lifetimes; inseparability of all souls;
God is everything that exists in the world—all people, animals, plants, the
waters, air and earth are parts of Him and sacred to Him. Jesus didn’t make any
notes about his teachings and he was glad that I did.
But
anything in my journals that might undermine the corrupt leaders’ authority was
left out of St. Matthew and most of what is in that gospel didn’t come from my
records. I never heard Jesus say that anyone “…shall be in danger of hell fire”
or “…whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.” He talked
about how godly thoughts and deeds benefit lives, not “shameful” behavior—that
would have been judging and contrary to what he did tell people, “Judge not,
that ye be not judged.” I never heard him talk about sins being forgiven—he
said “sin” was an error in values or deeds and he told listeners many times
over the importance of their forgiving others. He wouldn’t have said, “Think
not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword”—that was in conflict with all of his teachings.
The
“parables” sound as if Jesus was speaking in anger—never during the many times
I was present at gatherings, large or small, did he do that. And, unlike the
parables, he spoke forthrightly and clearly so listeners would understand—he
wanted to enlighten, not perplex. It is fortunate—or more likely, unawareness
of what he meant—that those who so drastically changed my notes left in“Ye are
the light of the world,” “Let your light shine…” and many of his other
references to light.
Mentioning
all the disparities between my records and St. Matthew would require my
comments throughout that gospel, but the most critical additions are the “last
supper” and Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. It’s possible that the supper
may have derived from my notes about one of the rare times that Jesus and all
twelve of us were in the same place and we had a splendid celebration dinner.
It was after he and Mary Magdalene had married and she was there too, but it
was many months before the crucifixion is claimed to have happened. Jesus
didn’t perform the service that became known as “holy communion” or say:
“Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me,” and everything from
that point on in St. Matthew also is fabricated falsehood.
Months
later I recorded what I overheard two men discussing near the temple: The
Sanhedrin thought that crucifying Jesus would make him a martyr and give
impetus to his teachings, so they decided to have him flogged and ordered out
of the country—that would discredit him in the eyes of the people and they soon
would forget him.
When I told
Jesus, he said he couldn’t avoid being beaten and banished—as I noted in my
journal, I sensed he felt it was important to let that happen. It did, and
shortly afterwards, he and Mary Magdalene left for the Far East, where he knew
they would be welcomed. In several of our early talks he had told me about his
younger years there, where he learned from the masters how to perform what the
Bible calls “miracles,” but as Jesus told the multitudes, everything he could
do, they could, too.
Through the
years we kept in touch with occasional letters and when one came from him, I
tucked it into my journal—by then there were dozens. Finding new students
required my moving from time to time, which offered ample opportunity to meet
people who heard I knew Jesus and wanted to hear about his teachings. Now and
then I saw Luke, who sometimes had news about one or another of the other
“disciples,” but our common link was Jesus, and after he left, it was natural
that we all would continue along our separate ways.
After my
death in old age, the innkeeper sold the chest in which I kept my journals.
Eventually they fell into the hands of someone in government and, before being
burned, led to the Gospel According to St. Matthew.
In no way
what I have told you diminishes one iota the power of Jesus or his accurate
teachings! The truth of his life—he had a wife and children, and he had
desires, ideas, hopes, friends, opposition, disappointments, heartaches and joyful
times like other people—far more honors his teachings than religion’s false
claim that he was the “only son of God.”
Nor does
anything I have said mean that people who believe the Bible is God’s word are
diminished in goodness of heart—they only are misinformed. Every soul has its
own journey into the light of truth and there is no time limit—the life of the
soul is eternal. If persons you love dearly aren’t on the same pathway as you,
confidently continue on yours and respect their divine right to choose theirs.
And now,
beloved Earth family, I speak again for all of us at this station. In every
moment, we are alongside you in spirit and unconditional love.
LOVE and
PEACE

Jesus on the Lost Years, the Holy Grail, Reincarnation and Much, Much More – Golden Age of Gaia, Steve Beckow, December 24, 2013

Question: Dear
Kryon, did a person named Jesus actually exist, or was it a group with the
Christ energy that the church made into a person?
Question: Dear
Kryon, I’ve looked at birth charts for Jesus over many years and found one
which I believe, if not real, is the most intriguing. Therefore, I ask: Can you
please reveal the exact date and time of Jesus Christ’s birth? And which DNA
layer is the "astrology layer" that you’ve mentioned? I really
believe that this may help in realigning astrology with the energy you’ve
talked about
Question: Dear
Kryon, when Jesus came here, did he know of our eternal work of Universe
building? Does he know how much we love him?
Question: Dear
Kryon, I’m not a Christian, but am curious as to whether the story of Jesus is
accurate. Did he die by crucifixion, or was he spared to live a full life with
a family of his own, elsewhere?
Question: Dear
Kryon, was Jesus nothing more or less than a Crystal Child? Did he possess
something that simply wasn’t understood during his time? Did he have different
DNA or advanced DNA? This time is so exciting, and things have become so clear,
that I want to be able to tell others what I now understand.
Answer: Dear ones,
we posture this answer with great respect for those who love this Human master.
It serves no purpose to give information that would be detrimental to any study
or search for the divine by any Human alive. This is why we often do not give
you the actual history of some of the masters who walked this earth. We see the
search for the divine as the most important thing a Human can do. Even if the
facts of history are incorrect, sometimes the benefits of the search still
bring the Human into the light and into the realization that God is inside us
all.
Jesus was a
real person. His birth and death were far different than have been reported,
but he walked the earth as an enlightened soul whose miracles and teachings
were the beginning of a new dispensation. He taught unity, and the principle
that all men could speak personally to God. He said, "You can be just like
me!" and that is what our message is, also . . . that master-hood is
within each of you. If you really want to know more about the real history,
it’s very clearly in the scrolls, but it’s not in your scriptures!
If you feel
that Jesus might have had a special consciousness, as many of the new children
do, you’re right! His DNA was without some of the restrictions that you have,
but had those that you’re now learning about. The astrological layer of his DNA
(the layers that respond to other planetary energy movements) were void and
neutral. (This particular layer will be exposed this year for you, along with a
name.)
And yes, he
knows of your love, and all the things that your divinity knows. Like all of
you, he is multidimensional, and is in many places at the same time. Did you
know that you are, too?
Spiritual
enlightenment is not about following any Human Being or any entity in the
Universe. It’s about knowing that God resides within you, and that you’re an
eternal part of His universal plan. This information has been brought to you
from many masters and is within many cultures throughout the history of the
earth.
Jesus, as
well as other masters who walked the earth, not only gave you messages of
empowerment, but then "walked the walk" so you could see that a Human
Being could actually do what he said could be done. Many of you are poised on
the edge of realizing this same thing.
Jesus on the Lost Years, the Holy Grail, Reincarnation and Much, Much More – Golden Age of Gaia, Steve Beckow, December 24, 2013
"So many people are hungry for the truth about Jesus that we reproduce parts of two earlier interviews with him on An Hour with an Angel. Here he tells us what the Christ truly is, acknowledges that he was an avatar, explains many difficult concepts, and gives more details of his family life.
I know this is a lot of reading. I know, I know. But for those who have the time, it’s about as fascinating as it gets. If you don’t read it now, maybe salt it away. Thanks to Ellen for the transcripts."
(Subjects: Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Muhammad, Jesus, God, Jews, Arabs, EU, US, Israel, Iran, Russia, Africa, South America, Global Unity,..... etc.) (Text version)
" ..... If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening. ....."
