YOUR ROLE IN PROPHECY, PREDICTIONS AND HUMAN EVOLUTION
Christ Jesus through Virginia Essene
Dear ones of the Love Corps family and all beings of good will everywhere,
Please welcome the sincerity of my love and concern for each of you as we begin sharing about what you call a new yeara period following the days of least daylight and the longest nighttimes that occur each year at the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere)
... And gently allow my loving energy to enfold you in a dazzling shower of gold and silver radiance. At this time of frequent cold weather and dark nights, it is a good time to be contemplative and meditative about life and to consider your own role in it as a current representative of the Mother/Father Creator.
Indeed, I come to assist you in this process of winter contemplation if you choose it, so permit my flowing embrace to encircle you with the sacred remembrance of your souls beauty, wisdom and loveever reminding you of your souls birth from the Creators precious and eternal energy gift of spiritual consciousness. In this unified moment of bonding with life itself, beloved, kindly pause and breathe a moment as you brighten your subtle energy bodies with my own celestial greeting and Gods everlasting love.
Yes, you have completed the busy holiday times that accompany the winter solstice and now you have an opportunity for a reprieve from the rampant American materialism that unfortunately holds most citizens in its addictive sway. So put away any possible distractions, turn off the telephone, TV and other such devices and do not read any further until you can give this message your full and total attention. I ask this of you because our topic today is quite serious and requires a state of calmness and balance on your part if it is to be truly helpful, as I hope it will be. Kindly either find a quiet environment to continue reading or save this message until a time when you can give it your undivided attention.
********************************************************************
Now, dear heart, let us continue in our conversation about your role in understanding how prophecy and predictions are a part of the current physical, emotional and spiritual experience youre having that is called human evolution. Since EVOLUTION EXISTS ON MANY LEVELS, beloveds, so do the prophecies and predictions related to youand to life in many other places you are unaware of in the galaxy and beyond. Generally speaking, however, in your location on planet Earth, prophesy and predictions are meant to help humanity evolve their consciousness by explaining the influences that directly affect them and then providing supportive guidance related to that evolutionary opportunity. In other words, we want you to use the best opportunities for spiritual advancement when they are more easily understood and available for your use.
From our perspective in higher realms, prophecy has usually implied an advanced sharing about what is most likely to occur during the influence of particular cosmic cycles that over-light your area of the galaxy at a particular era in linear time. Since we know what the cosmic energy influences are within Earths travel pattern, we can intend certain general plans for the most supportive time periods, hundreds or even thousands of years in advance of when the cycles actual influence may occur. That is why certain spiritual teachers can plan to come as helpmates to humanity and actually select the time and specific region most needy or most likely to benefit from the information.
Thus, even as you look at the little you know of Earths actual history, you can see that there has been a progression of helpful aid and information that builds from one generation, one culture, and one religious or spiritual teaching to another. Whenever it is a fertile spiritual time to seed concepts or offer needed assistance to humanity, various Lords of Light from different realms and dimensions volunteer to embody and insert their message into the thought forms of human consciousness. And these teachers do not come alone. Many other soul helpers also agree to incarnate with them to support their task
you among them, dear hearts!
In the past it was harder to have our thoughts received by humans, but todaywhenever a living human with very high frequency ability is willing and able to receive the downloading of the information we send to them then they are able to share what future plans and events we suggest may happen. (Always cognizant, of course, that free will can affect certain aspects of reality.) It used to be that such prophecy represented information given far in advance by highly respected sources in heaven coordinating with beings on the planet who could relay the information. In a sense, then, prophecy was like a vital overview compared to predictions which tend to be more specific and occur in a more current time frame.
Past prophecy, then, has announced important events yet to come, such as the expectation regarding my own appearance on the planet. This particular prophecy about me, which was intuitively recognized by people among a small group of Jews called the Essenes, opened a welcome for me among this group, thus assuring I had a safe haven with those who had prepared themselves spiritually for my arrival, my physical life.
Unfortunately, the words prophecy and predictions are frequently scrambled together and misused. However, you may find it helpful to realize that other examples of prophecy and sacred statements can be found in bibles or holy books called scriptures, revelations, gospels, and so forth. Every religion has had these guides and teachings, whether in the writings of early Tibet, India and China, Egypt/Babylonia/and the Middle East, and some more familiar to you in this life as found in the Old Testament, New Testament, the Talmud, the Koran, the Vedas, and many others writings both current and past.
Humans living today with these incoming cosmic energies that bring you more light and awareness enjoy reading the more familiar predictions from the famous Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, and innumerable other inspired or channeled authors because it resonates with your soul knowing and intuition. Indeed, the bookstores are now filled with channeled and inspired messages containing information useful to humanity, some more valid than others. These sources provide a wide variety of perceptions for many levels of consciousness and allow each person their own God-given free will choice.
Now here is the vital point I want to make. USING THE PRESENT SUPPORTIVE GALACTIC ENERGIES, YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR ABILITY TO BE A SPIRITUAL CHANNEL THIS VERY DAY IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SPEND MORE TIME IN MEDITATION AND CONTEMPLATION. Yes, you can bring current understandings or specific ideas that will be useful to yourself and others. In fact, many of you reading this message are already doing this in one way or another. Some through healing and various forms of counseling, education, science & technology, law and citizenship, spiritual teachings, and/or many different fine art expressions.
In your current dictionaries this area of defining what prophecy and predictions are and the methods used to know things in advance of their occurrenceis sometimes confusing. For instance, some dictionaries associate the word prediction with foretelling and forecasting, divination, augury, soothsaying, fortune telling, prognosticating, being a seer, psychic, oracle, sibyl, and many others, as methods by which one can receive information beyond the usual sources of thinking and information gathering.
They suggest methods of deriving useful information as being everything from crystal ball gazing, astrology, palmistry, numerology, tarot and various card forms, psychometry, and so forth. However, what the dictionaries do not tell you is how normal persons today are able to use their physical body/mind/emotions/spirit combination to attain inner knowledge useful to themselves and others. So, dear hearts, whether you call it an intuitive process, an inspiration, or a channeling ability, you are simply allowing yourself to use what already lies within you that the Creator designed when the human species was created
YOUR HEART LOVE and a BALANCED PHYSICAL BRAIN.
It is very important for you to remember that intuition begins with the souls relationship to the heart, as I often remark. When that heart love is flowing, it is quite easy to use your marvelous human brain to explore the physical world in which you live because you are now spiritually and morally responsible to do so. That is when the field of inquiry and/or discovery that you call science is safe to begins its investigations.
For example, there was a prophecy foretold years ago that has only been substantiated recently by some Russian scientists who now have the high-powered computer and equipment necessary to investigate whether the solar system is currently moving faster through space or not
which it is. This idea couldnt be proven earlier until society acquired the necessary mathematical and scientific instruments needed to examine the theory.
Therefore, when used by wise and loving people, science and technology in this current era will be useful helpmates as you examine many prophecies and predictions and also bring forth what appears to be new scientific knowledge. Of course, once the information is known among a small group of specialists it still has to make its way out into the general populations through education or various informative media presentations, including your internet contacts.
For those of you who teach children, especially, but also relate to their adult parents, this kind of imagining what spirit/science may discover next can be a very exciting project. As I have often remarked, young children being born today with both telepathic and clairvoyant powers, as well as unusual, upgraded DNA, are here to shift the consciousness of the human species. Indeed, there are those children and young people among you who have such extraordinary talents and abilities that they will radically change society ... for the better! And many of these incoming infants carry the seeds of the prophecy that the meek will inherit the earth
meaning that they will express peaceful intentions in their soul gifts
and will contribute many things useful in helping humanity continue its upswing cycle back to the divine realms.
Of course, some predictions can be proven by personal experience even when science or intellectual knowledge disagree or even ignore the prediction as false or unworthy. For instance, I have said that your experience of linear time has been decreasing because your solar system is passing through an influential area of photon light energy while also being simultaneously bombarded by fiery solar flares. Until recently, scientists could notor would notattempt to measure both of these premises, as they are currently beginning to do.
Fortunately, some scientists are now very attuned to the recent influence of the solar flares, as others continue to measure the rate of speed your solar system travels. Regardless of what they discover, however, you are personally experiencing the feeling that time is vanishing and that it is harder to accomplish what you used to do in the same amount of hours. So it is your own personal experience that convinces you I may be telling the truth.
When I suggest that this increased photon light shifts your 3rd dimensional reality into a higher state of consciousness in which your body must adapt to the changes at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level, it is you who experience the effects of that change and so it is real for you regardless of what others may say or think.
Then when I, and your other teachers and guides, tell you that this shift into greater light intensity requires everyone to release their addictions of ego control and power and simply prepare in every way to allow the changes to come (or else suffer the consequences of resistance), you can believe me or not.
Some people will believe and move toward a different life style while others are uncertain or unwilling to change old habits and behaviors. Once again, your experience will determine whether my prediction is accurate or not, irrespective of other peoples attitudes, since it involves your emotions and direct experience, not mere intellectual knowledge.
For those who insist on keeping the same beliefs and expecting the same outcomes they usually experience, life may be very chaotic as they move into the force of light that expands Earths former 3rd dimension linear time experience forward into non-linear time and space realms. Therefore, if I predict that human resistance to its power may well bring a difficult struggle, like being held inside a gigantic wind storm, and suggest that wisdom dictates you accept Earth change as graciously as possible
to achieve a smoother and less disruptive experience
you must make your own choice.
If I suggest that meditating yourself into balance and calmness, so you can adapt to this frequency change, is the ideal attitude for living today, it is you who must decide whether this is valid. You must determine if balance brings greater creativity and opportunities in which to use your heart, emotions and mind to accomplish positive outcomes.
One of the most beneficial aspects of advancing into a greater light experience is that you can manifest things more quickly, especially if you work together in groups using a common focus or intention. You may be tired of hearing me say this, but dear ones, this COMMUNITY CREATIVITY about which I often speak is the single most important tool you have to help you deal with the changes that lie ahead. For changes there will be and you really will need each other. Yes, you must get together with other people to be best prepared for whatever might happen because separation is not your friend. It limits your capacity to create whereas groups have greater concentrated power and effect. Have you noticed the difference between doing something by yourself compared with having a committed and focused group project?
Yes, we know that groups can be difficult if too many people try to lead instead of seeking agreement and moving together in the same direction, yet agreement and cooperation is the fundamental law used in the future realms where you are headed. Need I recommend that it is a good thing to learn and practice now? Always remember that GROUP energy is very much the energy of God when it is dedicated and combined with others to create positive results.
Now there are people on the planet who keep asking why we have to have these changes and I hope you can now tell them that whenever you accelerate anything in the physical world, such as a moving vehicle or motorized object, there are physical responses that occur. Think of a speeding train, plane, or car that is NOT in control, for example. Or if you are using a blender to mix a healthy beverage and you select a faster speed, you could spill the liquid contents if you dont cover it with a lid. In other words, physical things can happen either negatively or positively when increased speeds are selected. Fortunately, you are learning through physics that BY BRINGING YOUR INTENTIONS TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF LIFE YOU ARE ACTUALLY AFFECTING THE SPEED OR THE VIBRATION OF ENERGY IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY.
In matter this effect is accomplished when the activity or vibration of an electron reaches what you term a critical mass in its identity and it shifts above 50% into a permanently higher consciousness range, realm, or dimension of activity. Some writers have called such events that occur in the physical experience of life to be miracles, meaning that a vibratory threshold has been reached and a shift in reality has happened.
In your present case, you are riding on a planet in a solar system that has increased its speed or vibration and one day will reach a higher consciousness state. Because it is following the energy demands of the galactic womb in which it dwells, it is not under your control. Perhaps this lack of control is difficult to accept, dear ones, but it is the way things are. Consequently, extending trust that you are part of a galactic adventure is the recommended attitude for you to take at this time. Simply trust that Earth is on course for a higher destiny and rejoice that she is bringing you with her, even if it means a few surprises along the way. If many of you join together in love it can be a truly wonderful and exciting experience in which you reclaim many higher powers.
Here I must caution you to realize that the Earth may respond to her increased speed, the higher amounts of light, the intense solar discharges, and the damage that humanity has done to her in recent years in an as-yet-undetermined ways. Many probabilities are possible and some of the outcomes depend upon how humanity responds. So you must consequently be alert and prepared to make whatever positive adjustments are required during the journey. You have already witnessed or experienced shocking hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes and many other storms, and there will regrettably be more weather changes in the coming days and years. Please be alert to them and maintain an attitude of concern for all life.
We especially ask anyone living near oceans, large rivers and lakes to be aware of possible flooding. It is presently foolish to live too near the bank of any major water source and we suggest you not build any new dwellings where such proximity could be dangerous. Accompanying the possible danger of being too near dangerous water sources, remember that flooding has an opposite danger where drought, or a lack of water, occurs.
Drought will affect many regions on the planet, and will often be accompanied by severe wind and/or fire. This can be devastating. I ask that every citizen be very cautious about not accidentally starting fires of any kind such as those due to cooking outdoors whether at home or in natures forested sites. And if your home dwelling is closely surrounded by trees, excessive brush, leaves and other flammable debris, wisdom decrees that you protect yourself by clearing sufficient space around the dwelling in case of emergency. We are constantly surprised at how little foresight most people give to their surroundings and to potential dangers caused by unexpected weather, fire, and the like.
With potential earth changes and weather challenges more and more likely, I ask again that you always be prepared with sufficient food and water, heat and light, first aid supplies, medicines and a plan of action for your well-being, as we have previously discussed. And to think also of others such as a neighbor or someone in your area who is weak or helpless whether they are very young, sick or disabled, or quite elderly. You take these precautions because they are logical things to do in physical life, and although some people may feel a small element of fear, PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT FEAR-INSPIRED. They are simply responsible actions required of anyone living in a physical body. Those of you living in cities have often abdicated those responsibilities to public and private officials who usually handle things fairly well in the public interest, but may be ill-equipped to react for the good of everyone during huge crisis emergencies.
Having said that, kindly remember that this current evolution within your galaxy will require many changes for you regarding what you think of as Mother Nature, and also your attitude about your own mind/emotions/body qualities. Indeed, your mind/emotions/body talents are urgently needed now so you can know what to do BEFORE the emergencies present themselves. In addition, you should all be training yourself to fervently intend a specific thing, to focus your heart to feel and want it also, and then have it actually manifest for you in a physical way.
This is the same principle I have been sharing for many years but the point is that the faster your solar system accelerates, the faster you are able to intend something and have it occur on many different levels of experience. This is the gift that comes with the accelerating movement of the planets many levels and realities, forlike youshe is more than physical substance. Once again let me say, as I have repeatedly reminded you, that THE MORE MINDS THAT INTEND THE SAME THING AT THE SAME MOMENT, THE MORE RAPIDLY YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE DESIRED OUTCOME.
This creative mind/emotions/body power combination can and should be applied to every human dilemma, problem and challenge whether it be health, social problems, education, science and technology, law, citizenship, ecology, the creative arts, or whatever. Agreement is the essential tool of this Golden Age or Epoch and will achieve almost anything when you can focus enough group energy together simultaneously on one single intention. It is an age when the positive peaceful energy of group agreement could help you bring the presence of love and forgiveness back on Earth.
You, as members of the human species, are the reason I came 2,000 years ago to seed a new consciousness of love and forgiveness
following the beloved Buddha with his teaching of the Noble Path and the power of compassion
and other mentors in many different eras, cultures and countries. I came to the western world 2,000 years ago because it was a time of ignorance and darkness in the cyclical movement of your solar system that was moving Earth very far away from the celestial light, and I wanted to give humanity a memory, an image, of what was possible for them.
Now your planet is finally making a small shift forward on the vast galactic movement taking you back toward the light
an initial, significant change that will continue for many years beyond your own lifetime. So be of good cheer as you realize the power you now have as you join with various groups in positive intention and always include the recent wonder children who will graciously further accelerate positive outcomes. You and they are now the universal divine presence through group agreement if you choose to claim it on your beautiful planet.
Yet, beloved, it is possible that this physical journey of the galaxys movement will take innumerable centuries before your physical solar system can reach more rarified physical energy frequencies leading into higher realmsor what I call the divine dimensions. Nonetheless, en route into a more spiritualized existence, life on Earth will experience higher vibrations that allow an ever widening opportunity to achieve greater consciousnessto remember where you have come from and whence you now return. Be grateful that these higher vibrations have also encouraged other wise souls to reincarnate as children during this first part of this evolutionary shift
and they will be followed by many more.
The possibility of something like the Hundredth Monkey shift is potential if you understand the principle of group solidarity and seize its power for the advancement of human evolution. It only takes a few wise, powerful souls to establish the loving and compassionate pattern of life that evolution requires, yet as I frequently remind you, the power of a group makes it easier to achieve your goals of joy, peace and love.
All that remains is your willingness to begin the task without fear or doubt. Indeed, it is to this task of releasing fear and refusing doubt that you are all now called.
So you must understand that while the solar system is actually accelerating faster than before, it may still seem like a slow process for most humans who think about time based on their present physical life span of 80-100 years. Nonetheless, with everything that is happening time-wise your tool for accelerating consciousness is greatly benefited by frequent meditative and receptive states of awareness. Your deliberate shift into higher frequency states can serve you by bringing clearer guidance, joy, peace of mindeven useful health information about taking care of your body to possibly achieve a longer life experience.
These new children will help advance humanity into that accelerated higher dimensional time sequence as they begin to operate at higher consciousness states. Then breathe, dear hearts, breathe into this time when you will be gradually moving into more spiritualized energy frequencies
when you will be parenting and honoring the pioneers of the next major consciousness shift.
Finally, let me turn from discussion of very broad spiritual concerns and cosmic matters to a very practical subjects related to human health that is currently in the news. Possibly you may have heard, or will be hearing, about the bird flu since it is getting so much publicity in the media. Have you noticed in the past few years that you have been hearing reports about mad cow disease, for example, yet when people are aware of what has to be done in cleanliness and proper treatment of animals, and countries collaborate, there is no widespread outbreak?
Currently it is the chickens, birds and other fowl who are involved as possible disease carriers to humanity and so there needs to be worldwide attention to their feeding and cleanliness. However, we do not presently see the pandemic situation developing in western technological countries that is being suggestedprovided you all cooperate together as you did with the mad cow situation. It is also important to realize that your pharmaceutical companies are busy selling their drugs for an epidemic that has not really begun, and moreover, we do not see that their present drug formula will necessarily be perfected without further testing.
Beloveds, I need to remind you that whenever you disrespect a living thing, and abuse it, there can be karmic circumstances as a result. So in countries where people are ignorant about hygiene and are disrespectful or abusive to chickens and other fowl, and the chickens get sick and die, it is a loss for everyone. It is therefore important for any person or corporation that raises chickens and other fowl to do so in a healthy environment so the flesh is safe for consumption by those who choose to eat them. This means that the worlds citizens need to treat their animals and fowl decently
and stop grouping them into huge flocks where disease can become rampant. As with humans, overcrowding can have deleterious effects.
It may also mean that if there are many more human deaths from bird flu reported overseas, you will want to know the source from which your own chicken and fowl products come. It especially behooves you to know where your fresh chicken suppliers obtain what they sell you and where companies, who sell you chicken products contained as a part of something else, are buying their birds. I smile very widely when I tease that in the interest of safetyindividuals who worry about eating chicken and fowl can always choose not to eat it anymore
or raise it themselves.
Now beloved ones, PLEASE REMEMBER THIS. MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH IN A PHYSICAL BODY REQUIRES A STRONG & EFFECTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM. I regret to comment that due to the addictive eating habits in western technological nations, health is not generally honored with that understanding nor are necessary food choices applied in the everyday diet. Therefore, I must remind you that the best defense against any type of disease, or epidemic, requires that you create the necessary conditions of a healthy body with correct food and water choices on a daily basis
along with sleep, exercise, positive attitude, and the usual list of other good health ingredients to gain and keep a healthy immune system.
Americans, in particular, are an obese and sugar-addicted society, led by money interests and advertising that are not in your best interest. They are also prone to use of addictive products of all kinds, including but not limited to tobacco, alcohol, and many different kinds of pharmaceutical and other unsuitable drugs. This is serious for adults but catastrophic for children whose diets are not based on healthy ingredients. Because we see the enormous courage it takes to ignore the myriad of unhealthy products presented in their attractive packaging in your huge grocery stores, we stand with you to seriously look at your present food and life styles choices.
Know that we support any beginning effort to change your poor, even deadly, health habits during this time when your body must upgrade its genetic composition and spiritual vibration. And hear me emphasize that your present health habits require rapid changes in diets, and other bodily matters, or many people will suffer from ill health and possibly miss the joy of the new world consciousness that lies ahead. At the same time, HEAR THIS GOOD NEWS. We are busily sending many ideas for inventions and products that can help many people change their poor habits and achieve greater health as quickly as possible. But you must be willing to acknowledge you have a responsibility in your health, as some are beginning to do, and help your children wherever they are fedto have food experiences that exclude the sugary diet drinks and empty vitamin/mineral food so popularly purchased.
Beloveds, it brings me no joy in this sharing to remind you of your cosmic heritage, on the one hand, and also suggest that the physical days ahead may be very challenging if you do not evaluate the way you are living and then take responsibility to forge your own good health habits with fortitude and commitment. You must constantly evaluate whether profit at any cost, which seems to be the mantra of the corporate commercial enterprise, will help or hinder humanitys accelerated journey back closer to the Source. We observe that greed has already closed the hearts of many people in positions of power causing much suffering around the world. Yet I remind you once again that you all have the opportunity to join together and change the old world of greed, hatred, pain and war into a new world of nurturing attitudes such as mercy, health, peace and joy using the energy called LOVE.
Because so many people are offering psychic information and predictions now, or at least sharing ideas from their heart, I will likely continue commenting more about such predictions and phenomenon when next we meet
including more about the possible products to help you recover and maintain good health. And I shall also ask Virginia to issue a voice message from me on the web site around your Easter time to offer healing and to remind you of your true spiritual nature.
Now I leave you only through this particular channel for you are always connected to our loving support as you walk the reality of physical life with its various joys and challenges. Please remember that I came long ago as your elder brother to honor your physical incarnation that you might soar ever higher into the divine realms of loving consciousness. I have never abandoned you, nor ever will.
Until we meet once again in the sacred corridors of your heart and mind, then, I remain your supportive elder brother who firmly remembers the wholeness of your true spiritual identity until you can fully remember and claim that eternal identity for yourself once more. And so it is! Amen.
CHRIST JESUS

VIRGINIAS MESSAGE
Greetings dear friends and Love Corps companions,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! AND HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Wow! Here we are in 2006 already which is the 20th anniversary of the year Share Foundation published the first English edition of Jesus book, New Teachings for an Awakening Humanity, just in time for Easter.
Jesus had asked me to have it published by Easter in1986, if at all possible, and it was quite a hassle to honor that request since I didnt want to be a channel and wasnt at all knowledgeable about how to publish a book. So it was through this 1984-86 time period that I really learned the meaning of intention and commitment of saying Yes to spirit, and seeing what spirit in us, and beyond us, can really create.
In honor of this 20 year issue of Jesus book, then, I am going to share a long story that you really dont have to read now if youre short of time, but it demonstrates how WILLINGNESS to follow through on an INTENTION worked in my own life, and how it works in our physical world today.
Since Im telling this story for myself, as much as for you, be assured my feelings wont be hurt if you skip this lengthy message. Its just that I personally need to honor the beloved brother who asked me to produce his book and who has shown me howno matter what frame of mind and emotions I was inthat he and all our cosmic friends were there to support and encourage me every step of the way. There has been no greater proof to me in this life that spirit has a plan, no greater gift than learning it works both for me and through me. So I thank our Mother/Father Creator for that energy and Jesus and our many other cosmic friends from all religions and spiritual teachings for giving me an experience in learning how to safely express that energy more and more in my everyday life. Truly I AM grateful! And I share my story to encourage your own trust and commitment to your own goals.
Now back to my story about Jesus book. It might be interesting to know that in order for me to find the cover to go on the outside of the New Teachings book, I not only had to believe it was possible to find the required energy image that Id been shown in my mind, but I had to keep praying for help to complete the various other parts of the publishing task because of all the problems that kept cropping up.
Ill pause to relate some of them for you simply because they are relevant as a pattern of how to fulfill seemingly-impossible intentionssuch as those we all want to accomplish in our lives today. Ive found firsthand that my role is to trust that we have help that our beloved elder brother and our many cosmic friends stand with us throughout our lives if we but ask
and persist with whatever intention we wish to manifest.
Would you now pretend to go back in time 20 years and just imagine yourself in my place? Its June, 1985, and after 7 months of resisting writing down words purportedly from Christ Jesus who had been contacting me in the wee hours of the morning for some years, imagine that I have finally agreed to sit down everyday, like a regular job, and begin writing down his words.
Imagine being a computer illiterate yet needing to get the words down by computer ready for printing and needing help for that mission. Imagine not being sure whether the materials you were writing had any value to others and knowing you would have to pay for the whole self-publishing thing out of your own financial pocket if no one else would print it.
Ill skip all of that and just focus on the biggest difficulty I had which was in trying to find the exact book cover Id been shown an image of in my mind. This gorgeous cover was such a challenge to find and required a big string of synchronicities to accomplish. The rainbow image I kept seeing in my mind was ever-moving and contained dancing multi-colored beams and rays of light that Id never seen with my physical eyes. I didnt realize I was being shown living energy in motion. Anyhow, once the channeled words had been typed up by various helpers on Johns computer and I had contracted to have the book published myself because our only other possible publisher wanted to take a year to produce it and would be making some changes to its content, I was on a fast deadline to get the cover to the printer so the book would be ready for Easter. I remember that Easter came in late March that year, rather than in April, thus shaving off many days that were critical to completing the project on time
so all I had left to help me was prayer.
At that point, a friend named Pat, from A Course in Miracles group, sat down with me on the couch before she was going to fly to southern California to visit her parents, and we told Jesus that we needed a miracle if his book was going to have that special image on the cover in time for Easter.
Lo and behold, the first synchronicity happened a few hours later when Pat was waiting at the airport to board her flight. She related that she felt compelled to go into a little magazine store and buy a copy of Omni Magazine, something new to her. And while flying, she found an article in it about a Canadian artist who had colored pictures of his art work that looked very similar to what I had told her I was seeing in my mind. Needless to say she phoned me and I went out right away to buy that issue of Omni bless them. This taught me how spirit will use whoevers available to assist in fulfilling the intention. (Thanks, Pat!)
The challenge was that while I had Erics name from the article, I had no address or phone number so I began a fervent search to locate him. Eventually, I obtained Erics phone and called to ask him if I could buy a slide of his art to put on the cover of a book. My dilemma was that he needed to know the book cover would say the author was THE CHRIST and he had to feel okay about that.
To my joy he said hes consider my proposal, and to my surprise he told me that he had just been down hanging his art work in northern California at one of the state universities and if I looked in the library there I could see several other examples of his work. Wow. So you can imagine that I grabbed a friend and we drove through a nasty rain storm for nearly a hundred miles to find our way around campus in the drenching rain to get into the library while it was still open that day. As it turned out, Jesus chose the picture published in the magazine as first choice for the cover, so our trip was unnecessary, but it showed me how powerful prayer was in providing exactly what I needed and had requested.
A few days later when I phoned Eric back to see if he minded his art being used on a book with the author identified as THE CHRIST he said it was okay and sold me a slide for the book cover. Whee! I heaved a sigh of relief and sent him a check, thinking everything was now on course. However, ignorant as I was then about packages coming through customs, I hadnt asked Eric to be sure and put the required custom tag on his package and he apparently hadnt taken this necessary step. Now the slide was being held up in customs.
Consequently Im nervously waiting for ten long days to get the slide that has to go to the graphic artist so the cover can be created and then sent to the printer to finish the book, box it, and receive it back in time for Easter. I remember crying because I saw no possible way this could all happen in about a week. But once again I asked friends to help me pray and stated my intention to have the books ready to sell at my booth at the Whole Life Expo in San Francisco.
When the art work was done from Erics slide, I approved it, and with a somewhat heavy heart delivered it to our northern California printer for the final production phase which they said would take a week. I pleaded for them to have it sooner, but with only 4 days left I still saw no way the book could be completed on time. Nonetheless, I didnt give up praying.
Then what seemed like a probable catastrophe happened before I was to pick up the boxes of completed books 4 days later. The printing company called to say that for some reason their normally reliable night binder person had mixed the wrong combination of glue products that they used to bind the cover on the text portion and so the covers for the New Teachings books were not sticking properly. They couldnt guarantee the covers would stay on. They would consequently need new covers and another week to finish the job. What did I want them to do?
After feeling the pit of my stomach scream its disappointment I asked intuitively what to do, prayed, and finally received guidance to take the books as they were since I was due to be at the Whole Life Expo in San Francisco the next day to let their energy permeate the building and hopefully sell some copies.
Thus began a new phase of my life as a channel, book publisher, and itinerant book lady (with a book that the covers wouldnt stay on and that I carried in my car wherever I went). Interestingly, not all the covers from that printing were a total disaster and although I apologized profusely to people and offered to give their money back, very few seriously complained or wanted their money returned except for a few book stores who are in a formal business situation, of course. So my shared intention that I would have the books in time to be present at the Expo booth was fulfilled. But I have to laugh now for not intending that they be published in perfect condition! That part was a learning lesson.
Anyhow, when those 5,000 books were sold and we went into future printings, there were no further problems and Im happy to say that many people loved the cover which is NOT computer created. Rather, it is Gods sunlight moving its eternal energy through a pure quartz crystal and dancing its identity across a photographic plate. This is not a photograph, as it would have been defined back 20 years ago, but a true art form that Eric created with nature. (Thank you, Eric!)
Later, when the book became very popular and I was being invited to speak all over the world, I was again faced with a major decision about whether to quit the security of my college position and risk doing what one could call spiritual work full time, even though any job is spiritual.
While I was considering just taking a leave of absence and holding onto to my job, I had a dream one night that made me realize there was more adventure waiting ahead. You see I thought this book for Jesus was my only writing work but in the dream I was shown a myriad of beautiful white doves flying in a formation, one behind the other, single file, not grouped as a flock. As I watched them flying something unusual happened in that their graceful body became stiff like the spine of a book and each wing turned into a moving motion that looked like the sides of a book cover flapping. The realization from this image made me realize that there would be more books, if I choose to do them, which is not necessarily what I wanted to do at the time.
However, any reluctance to leave my college work was finally washed away by the warm response Jesus book brought from people all over the world and although I had no idea what these other books would be, I risked that the change would be beneficial in some way. So the end of this tale is that we are on a continuum of experience, with each willing choice to do positive things leading us to the next chapter of our life adventure. I confide that I could never have imagined what these 20 years have brought me in the way of meeting people, and I encourage you to keep saying yes to spirit even when it doesnt make sense and even when you may have some reluctance to follow your guidance.
The point of this sharing is that Ive never been sorry I made that choice to dedicate my time and energy to this new adventure and today I want to encourage each of you to keep asking for guidance and then following whatever steps you are offered to bring the love of your heart into the world. Today, at age 77, as I look back, I am pleasantly nostalgic and very joyful that I was part of a wonderful spiritual adventure. Most of all, I am blessed that those of you who have read our material say youve gained something meaningful and are putting it to use in your own gifts of love to the world.
Thank you, dear friends, for being in the circle of light and for supporting the Share Foundation with your loving energy. I am thrilled to know the good things youre doing and joyful that we are all achieving the goals of higher consciousness more profoundly each day.
Till next issue, or whenever Jesus asks me to send another voice message on the web, I AM your loving spiritual sister,
Virginia
