December 14, 2021 Tuesday Evening with Aaron, Excerpts
Aaron’s Christmas Stories
(Reviewed excerpts only; Yeshua’s portions via Colette are not yet reviewed))
Aaron: My blessings and love to you all. I am Aaron. Thank you for being with me tonight to share this beautiful evening which we call Christmas Stories. We started this in 1989. People began to ask me to share some of my memories of Yeshua, when I was alive on Earth at that time as a man named Nathaniel.
Here’s a little bit of history from me. The man who was Aaron, lived about 2600 years ago, and he lived for almost six hundred years. Six hundred years? There were understandings of how to release distortion in the body, how to prolong life in the body. And it was unusual, but not unheard of, for someone to live that long.
Then, just in the years before Yeshua’s birth, the man who would be my father in the lifetime with Yeshua came to me in meditation and asked me, “Would you consider now, after six hundred years, to leave this incarnation and come into birth as my son, because we have a mission?” He was a shepherd and was also trained in many of the profound practices and mysteries, and a deeply, deeply loving being. He wanted me to come in as his son so he could train me also to be a shepherd, because he felt that the poorer people who lived on the farms and as shepherds in the fields, could hear the messages of love better than those who were living in the cities and often more filled with greed and grasping.
I’ve never talked much about my father in that lifetime, and I do not intend to do so tonight. Suffice it to say that he was a deeply enlightened being, a great master, and it was my joy to honor his request. It was time, after six hundred years. I left the body of Aaron and came into being as the son of this father to be raised as a shepherd and—not quite on the outskirts, but also not in the center of the Mt. Carmel Essene community.
The boy I was moved back and forth from the hills where we raised the sheep and into the Essene community, and back into the hills. And of course, we moved around the countryside, traveling some miles where it was useful.
My father knew of the coming of Yeshua and had brought us out many days’ walk to the hills outside Bethlehem. I was five years old, almost six. And I sat there on the hillside with my father and some other shepherds. We did not have our sheep with us; we had traveled a long distance.
The night was unlike any night I had ever seen in my few years’ experiences as Nathaniel. The stars were brilliant. Energy filled the air and, almost music. I would call it music, not to the ears, but to the heart. There was a profound energy and that one star that shined down, that looked down on Bethlehem. For those who could feel, see, and hear them, there were an enormous number of angelic presences. This was a bit new for me. “What is this?” And my father said, “The Prince of Love has come, the one who can help us open our hearts to love.”
We stayed up in the hills, and then eventually, when my father suggested that we could go, we walked down into the valley. I was permitted to bring him a gift. We were shepherds; I brought him a lamb. At home, I was not yet six but I had a little sister and she cried; she was loud and noisy. And I had a baby brother just a few months old, and he cried. But Yeshua just laid there and looked at me with light in his eyes. I did not hand him the lamb, of course; it was bigger than he was. But his heart opened to the lamb, and he received it in his heart.
And my father said,—I would guess it came from Mary, the request—would I take it home with me and take care of it until Yeshua was able to take it? And so, I did so, until years later I was able to return it to him.
It was such an unbelievable, really unspeakable experience to behold this baby. Light shown through him, and joy, and peace. I had a deep feeling, just watching him lying there, that everything was going to be right with the world, that he had come to help release the distortions and help us know our own light. As he brought that light, he did not give us that light; he opened our eyes to the light.
Then, you all know the story of how, for his own safety and survival, he was taken away for a number of years. I did not get the chance to see him, then, for some time.
For whatever reasons draw two people together, when he returned to the Mt. Carmel community we became fast friends, despite the age difference between us. Five years is not really that much.
I was trusted and, at that point, old enough to be trusted with the precious child—any child is precious. And his parents wanted him to learn about the life of the shepherds. So, I had the opportunity occasionally to bring him out with me into the hills for one or several days, teach him about caring for the sheep—a metaphor I would guess Yeshua used in his later life.
He taught me so much. One of my favorite stories—you’ve probably read this in Forty-Seven Stories. It was a cold, stormy night, with sleet and snow coming down. I had been caring for the sheep, making sure that they were all safe, all enclosed in a pen so wolves or other animals could not attack them. I was responsible for the child, Yeshua.
We came back to where we were to sleep, a tent of sorts. We had some dinner to heat over a fire. I had wood covered with something that would protect it. I can’t say a tarp, not the tarp of your understanding, but the old-fashioned kind of tarp. I had a flint and dry wood tiny shavings to light, and I was quite skilled at this. I worked with my flint, trying to strike a spark onto the wood shavings, and again, and again. Yeshua was shivering. Remember, I’m older, he’s young.
Finally, he kind of pushed me aside gently and he said, “Come on, Aaron, just light the fire!” And, with no flint, no anything, he just lit the fire, a blazing fire. Well, I knew Yeshua knew how to do this, and I theoretically had been learning it, too. At the school at Mt. Carmel we were taught how to co-create, and fire was one of the easiest things to start with. But that night I couldn’t do it, and Yeshua lit the fire.
Yeshua, we are going to be going back and forth here a bit, so I would like simply to turn this over to you for a few minutes and ask you to share some of your early memories with us.
(Yeshua)
Aaron: I thank you, Yeshua. What a joy it is to do this together!
As Yeshua pointed out, we were not always well-behaved. We were boys; we pulled some pranks.
I do remember once putting a lamb—Remember, I did not live in the Essene community full-time. If a lamb appeared somewhere there, people were going to look to me and say, “Nathaniel, what have you done?”
But Yeshua and the other boys were kind of saying, “Let’s do it!” So, we put a lamb in the place that served as our schoolroom. And the elders were aghast when they came in, in the morning, and found this lamb, which, being a mammal, had defecated sufficiently around the room to make it sure that they knew that there was a lamb in there. So, Yeshua was not a goody-goody little boy. He was one of the ones who said, “Let’s do it, Nathaniel!”
But he always had a deep, immense respect for every sentient being. And any pranks that he did were pranks that would do no harm to any being. They may not have seemed funny to the teacher that next morning, smelling the smell of feces in his schoolroom, but no harm was done, and we cheerfully cleaned it all up and returned the lamb to where he was supposed to be.
Yeshua, a different story comes to mind. It is something that I’ve also told before, but to me deeply demonstrates something so beautiful about you.
This is many years later. I was with a small group of people walking with you. It was an icy cold night and rainy. We came to a simple dwelling and asked if we might take refuge in their barn, a building that had a thatched roof.
When we came to the house, we discovered that the man of the family had fallen and broken his leg and was completely incapacitated. There were no children older than twelve, but the oldest children of ten, twelve, were taking care of things. But they could not re-thatch the barn roof. And he said, “You are welcome to my barn, but be warned that it’s wet in there.”
We all went in. We found the animals huddled in one corner away from the leaks. Farming tools and things were pushed into another corner away from the wet. We found a place to rest as best we could.
Yeshua said, in the morning, “Please, let us re-thatch the roof before we leave.” Now, in thatching a roof, the thatch is rough; it’s coarse on the hands. Without proper gloves—and none of us had those—it tears the hands. The skin will bleed, especially if you work at it all day. And this didn’t just need a few patches; it really needed a new roof.
We had a small fire to warm us up there in the center of the barn, and men going out in shifts and climbing up on the roof, with other men preparing the thatching material.
Yeshua could easily have sat there; none of us would have faulted him if he had simply watched us take turns. But, of course, he did not do that; he took his turn along with us.
The day passed and the roof was thatched. Many of us had throbbing, torn hands. But when we came back to the fire, Yeshua so gently said thank you to each of us. He did not say, “Give me your hands and I will heal you.” That wasn’t his way. He wanted us to know our own capacity to heal ourselves.
So he said, “Give me your hand,” and he just comforted the hand; not instant healing. And he said, “May God bless you for the love you’ve shown this farmer. “
We woke up in the morning, and cuts that would have taken days to heal were healed. We looked at Yeshua and said, “Did you do this?” He said, “Your love did it. You did this. You thatched the roof. You healed your hands. Your love healed your hands.”
I don’t think I fully understood the importance of that message in those days. But as I look back, this was so much at the center of his teaching, so profound. And for those of us that were there, it taught us so much; reminding us not just this is the Christ, but that we are all the Christ, all the Awakened One. We are all love.
Yeshua, I pass this to you. If you have memories of that event, we’d love to hear them. But if you choose not to talk about that, whatever you want to talk about is okay.
(Yeshua)
Aaron: Thank you, Yeshua. I am Aaron. The world in those days was filled with violence, the violence that led to your crucifixion and to that whole experience for so many people, all the violence of the opposing forces. And today we’re living in a world again with opposing forces, so much misunderstanding. Some of us have many lifetimes, many centuries of experience, and much deeper understanding about how to invite peace into the world. And yet, for many people, there seems to be a sense of hopelessness.
Those of you who are here tonight have been practicing the dharma with me, learning your meditation and deepening your meditation practice so that you can come into a place of center and hold that still center when the world is crazy around you.
As I look back, I realize how deeply Yeshua’s presence two thousand years ago planted the seeds for the light and the love that ground us today and help prepare us to do the work we must do now out in the world today.
“Peace on Earth, good will toward men…” What does it mean, when so many innocent people are being killed daily, when so many people are starving, when there is so much hatred?
And yet, as the Buddha said, with such clarity, “Hatred never resolves hatred; only love resolves hatred.” How do we bring love into these stressful situations—genuine love, not a theoretical, “Oh, I will bring love to this,” but, truly releasing the duality, so that nobody is separate in our hearts, so that we have immense compassion not only for the victims of suffering but for the perpetrators of it, who are also suffering?
So, as I look back, I understand how much this is grounded into the seeds that Yeshua—and Mary, also—brought into the Earth at that time, really planting this— Let me say it a bit differently. I’m going to back track a minute.
The Earth was grounded by guardian angels in love to be a positively polarized planet. But beings with free will can heed that positive polarity or deny it. Humans at that point had really lost the way and were wandering in darkness. Not every human, but so many.
So, what I see, as I look back, is how much Yeshua came to bring that light into the world again, to wake us up to that light, ground us into that light, and help us walk in that light.
So many of you, have asked me, “Is it hopeless, Aaron? We’re so alone here.” But you are not alone because beings like Yeshua are still with us. He has not gone anywhere; he is still with us.
Yeshua, if you have anything you’d like to say about this, I don’t want to put you on the spot here, simply inviting your participation. I don’t want to hog the microphone, as it were. I am very much enjoying your presence through Colette. You have spoken often through Barbara, as she’s a clear medium for you as well. But, as she said in the beginning, it’s hard for me, Aaron, in her to body to have a conversation with Yeshua in her body, without a lot of awkwardness. This is so much smoother.
So, I pass it to you. And there’s a great joy in sharing this with you.
(Yeshua)
Aaron: I thank you, Yeshua. I am Aaron. A hallmark of positive polarity is spaciousness and expansion. A hallmark of negative polarity is contraction into the separate self.
It’s hard not to think of yourselves as separate. If it were easy, you would not be here. You came to learn how to know the innate radiance of yourself and that nothing is separate. When you hold yourself hard—I think of a snowball that forms into ice, compacted, but all it was were these tiny bits of snow coming down, coming together, lying like a soft powder on the ground, and then compacted. Think of two such ice balls, believing themselves separate, when they are all art of the same soft snow. Are you going to be the soft powdered snow or are you going to be an ice ball?
You have a free will choice. This is where your meditation practice is so important. When you watch yourself watching the TV news and contracting into Aghh!, just notice, “contracting, contracting.”
Think about beings like Yeshua. I’m certain there were times in his life when he was contracted; but I don’t think I ever saw him stay in that contracted state for more than a few minutes. He was able to release the contracted state because he was in such deep touch with the divine essence of his being and knew that the contracted state was just the outflow of conditions. He chose of his own free will to note, “Contracting… This is leading me into more negativity.” Not “I” release it; love releases it. The essence of being releases it.
I’m moving back to another story. Some of these stories are repeated; I only have so many stories. I did not live with Yeshua side by side, hour by hour, month by month. So, I draw from the stories of those times when we were together.
Walking down a broad path, heading quite a distance away to a village. We heard cries—human cries, animal cries; an enraged human and an animal crying out in pain.
As we came around the bend, there was a man with a stick beating his beast of burden. It was lying on the ground, crying out. It was loaded with an immense load. He was determined to get it up.
So much anger came up in me. I just wanted to go take the stick and hit the man with it. Others of the group also felt that rage.
But Yeshua just put his hands out to stop us, holding us back. He walked up and he said, “I see your donkey has fallen to the ground. He must be exhausted.” The man enraged said, “I’ve got to get my goods to the next town to the market.” And Yeshua said, “Well, it doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to get up.” Yeshua didn’t condemn him. He didn’t say, “You shouldn’t hit the donkey.” He spoke to him in the language that the man could understand.
He said, “Look, there are eight or ten of us here. We’re walking toward that town, too. We’d be happy to carry these things for you, and then the donkey can get up without any burden on him and you can get him to town where he can have time to recover.”
The man didn’t trust us. He said, “You’re going to steal my things!” Yeshua said, “No, we’ll walk right here beside you.” The man—his greed spoke to his heart—his greed said, “I want to get to town, so I’ll let them do this.”
So, we each took whatever we could carry off this poor overburdened donkey. The man was about to hit the donkey with a stick to get him up, once he was unloaded. And Yeshua said, “Oh, no, why don’t you just relax? You’ve been through so much pain with this donkey. Why don’t you just let me take care of the donkey? I have experience with beasts like this. I’ll get him up for you and get him to town.”
So, the man walked ahead with those who were carrying his burdens, and Yeshua in the back put his hands on the donkey and just—I don’t know what he did—healing the donkey versus reminding the donkey of its own innate radiance and ever-healed essence. But the donkey got up, and Yeshua held him and gave him a bit of water and began to lead him.
By the time we got to town the donkey was walking pretty briskly and he seemed quite happy. Some of the big cuts and bruises were visually healing.
Yeshua simply said to the man, “I’ll take him. There’s a barn in town where there is a stable. I’ll take him there.” He said to the man, “Now that your goods are in town, do you still have need of the donkey? If not, I have need and I’ll buy him from you.” And the man’s ears perked up— “Oh, good! I can make some money.” Yeshua gave him a few of the gold coins and took the donkey. The next day the donkey walked with us until we came to a farm where Yeshua knew the donkey would be very well treated and gave him to the farmer there.
He did not lecture the man. That’s not how it works. The man could not have heard a lecture. He treated the man with kindness. Perhaps that man would need to be treated with kindness a thousand more times before he started to respond with kindness to his and others’ pain.
You start where you are. No act of kindness is ever lost.
This is one of my fondest memories of Yeshua, that instead of contracting and saying, “No! Don’t hurt him!”, which is how I felt and how most of us felt, he was able to find within himself a place of compassion that could relate loving kindness to him and to his pain. Not your pain, not my pain, but our pain.
And this is very much what we have in the world today. Not your pain, not my pain, but the pain. Whichever red or blue, pro- or anti-vaccine, or this nation or that nation—no matter where you stand, we are all human and are developing the deepening capacity for compassion.
I learned so much from Yeshua, just walking with him and seeing how he responded in situations that were quite stressful, that were contracting for me, that pulled me into that strong, small ego self but left him spacious and openhearted.
Yeshua, I would pass this back to you. I am Aaron.
(Yeshua)
Aaron: I am Aaron. Thank you, Yeshua. It’s so important for us to remember that you each are not an ego here in incarnation to do this, fix that, but you’re a spirit. I call you “angels in earthsuits”. You are a radiant spirit here to teach/learn—they’re not separate. Every teacher is a learner; every learner is a teacher. And together we are co-creating a higher frequency of the earth plane, a frequency of love.
Two thousand years ago Yeshua stopped what I think of as the devolution of the earth into a downward spiral of negativity and helped to stop it and break through into reminding us that we are love and light.
Since then we are slowly cycling upward. He planted the seed, and we are here to nurture the seed.
Alright, with that in place, would you welcome another spirit into the mix? Mary Magdalene will come in. I will leave the body, and Mary Magdalene will come into this body and would like to speak into this mix of thoughts.
Some of you may know, or may not know, that Barbara has in the past year been making a deepening acquaintance with Mary—first, personally, in meditation, and then with channeling. So, I don’t think she has channeled Mary—maybe she has channeled Mary in this size group; I don’t know. But Mary is a beautiful being. I love her very much.
Mary (B): I am Mary, Mary Magdalene, but please just call me Mary, and I greet you with love. I am no one special, no different than you. Walking a bit ahead of you on the path, perhaps. And I think that’s helpful because I am leaving some footprints that you can follow. But you don’t need to follow footprints. You know where you’re going. In your heart you know why you have come.
As Aaron just said, Yeshua brought this light, grounded it into the Earth, to help reawaken the Earth. And now, for the rest of us, we are helping that light take root and spread out, as if Yeshua as the gardener had planted the seeds and then we have come along and need to nurture the seeds, the seeds of light and love, of compassion, of wisdom. There are so many beings intent on doing this work.
For me, a large part of it is the teaching and knowing of non-duality. Aaron once said—and I love this phrase from him—in response to a question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Aaron said, “You are not your brother’s keeper; you are your brother.”
How do you learn to be your brother and sister, to feel their pain without armoring yourself from that pain?
Holding your heart open in love with the deepest of wisdom and compassion; to hold space for all the suffering without creating dualities. The dualities are constructed merely to offer protection from that which you erroneously believe will destroy you. It will not destroy you. It will only destroy you if you hold a hard shell, like the tree that cannot blow in the wind and cracks versus trees that are flexible, can sway in the wind.
If you have the intention to follow Yeshua’s teachings today, to help support what he planted in the Earth 2,000 years ago, the way is very open to you.
You are connected to everything, and so we break down the barriers of good and evil, for example. There is no absolute evil; there is only that which is increasingly contracted and negative until it becomes very dark. But it is not an ultimate evil because we live in a non-dual universe and there is no such thing as ultimate evil.
I’m laughing; I sound like Aaron. Thank you, Aaron, for sharing these thoughts with me, because I have learned much from you, my brother.
The divine masculine and feminine. There is no masculine or feminine; there is simply love which is expressing as a masculine or a feminine energy that come together, non-dual.
That which is huge to an ant is quite small to an elephant. When you look at something and think it’s an insurmountable problem, you’re looking at it from the ant perspective. Begin to look at it from the divine perspective: nothing is insurmountable.
The work is not to just know, “Oh, I trust Mary, Aaron, Yeshua, these folks who tell me nothing is insurmountable, so I’ll take it at that. I’ll take that as truth.” No. You must know the truth for yourself. What does it mean when I say, “Nothing is insurmountable.”? What is the fear within you that says, “I cannot do that. I cannot handle this,” and then moves into the illusion of separation as a way of armoring yourself from that which you feel would destroy you?
Nothing is insurmountable from the place of the awakened heart, from the place of love, from the place of awakened—some might call it Christ consciousness, which is in all of you, the essence of all of you.
So, I think our work on Earth in the coming years is to move past this separation and this whole illusion of duality, in your own meditation and taking that out into the world with so much courage and love.
There are no dualities. Consider why you have created the illusion of duality and bought into it. How does that benefit you? Are you ready to let it go?
As you get to know me, you’ll find I am quite passionate about this issue of duality in all its aspects. I know I will have chance to speak more with you, those of you in Eden Project especially. But in many situations in the coming months.
No separation. Be with me. Feel how connected we are. I love you.
Yeshua, what a delight to see you and speak here, hold the stage with you, so to speak. We don’t often get a chance to teach side by side like this. I hand the microphone to you.
(Yeshua)
Mary (B): I am Mary briefly, but giving the body back to Aaron…
Aaron: I am Aaron. I thank you, Yeshua. We have time for one more story. So many to choose from…
This is another story from when we were boys. There was a boy somewhat older than us but slow in his intellectual development and his understanding, so that the other boys made fun of him. They excluded him; they taunted him.
This was another time when we were up in the hills with the sheep. Please, all of you know that that did not happen very frequently; it’s just that it is a ground for good stories.
We had brought enough food for ourselves for several days. In coming out from the town, this boy had approached me, and I knew him quite well. He wanted to come with us.
I was a bit hesitant, but his mother said he might come. I know she trusted me that I would see he came to no harm. And Yeshua was very open to his joining us.
He had what he needed to spend the night, his robe and so forth, and I had enough food for us all.
Then these boys who were very closed and unaware came along behind us, taunting this boy, taunting us for inviting him with us, mocking him. These boys were not of the Essene community but from a village apart from the community.
Yeshua was far younger than any of the rest of us. The boy we brought along, and the others, were all my age or older.
It would have ben easy to be intimidated by them, especially if you were half their size. Yeshua had been with this boy with me before. I didn’t know what to do, because I was responsible for Yeshua’s well-being, his safety, and I was responsible to this boy’s mother to protect him. We didn’t expect a band of angry boys to assault us.
Yeshua stepped up. He simply took this boy’s hand and said, “Let’s walk ahead,” and just began briskly to walk. We walked up into the hills where the sheep were. We left the sheep sometimes for a few hours. I could go into town and know that they would be safe until I came back. So, I had come in to our community to pick up Yeshua and walk him back.
We got where we were headed, made sure the sheep were well. The boys were hanging back but still throwing verbal taunts and an occasional rock or piece of old fruit.
We sat down and began to eat our meal, after the sheep were checked.
The boys made to break in and try to steal the food.
I want to make it clear that Yeshua knew how to say no, even though he was only 2/3 the age of these boys.
He turned to the one who was loudest, seemed angriest. He brought some of the food he was eating out to him and said, “You’ve been following us for a while, and you haven’t eaten. You must be hungry. Here.” He just put it down at the boy’s feet and walked back to our fire.
Well, the boy was hungry. He wasn’t going to pass up a meal, so he ate. The other boys teased him, said, “You’re taking food from them?” “Sure, why not.”
After we had eaten for a few minutes, there was one boy that was hanging back, not bothering the boy who had eaten. Yeshua—again, the youngest— got up and brought him some food. “Are you hungry?” He offered another boy some water.
Gradually the boys came up closer to our fire. It had grown cold. They ate from our plentiful supply of food. Now, it meant we would not have food for the next day, but no worry about tomorrow. We had the food we needed for tonight and tomorrow would take care of itself.
It had gotten late. It was quite cold. We built up the fire. Yeshua said to the boys, “You are welcome to lie down here near the fire.”
This slower friend, this friend without strong mental capacity, he was close by the fire, and one of them came up and said, “Move out of my way—I want the fire!”
Yeshua immediately got up and said, “There’s plenty of space for you.”
This bullying boy didn’t like being told what to do by what he saw as a child. So, he said, “Get out of here—get out of my way, Yeshua!”
Yeshua put his hands on his hips and said, “No, I will not get out of your way. But I will gladly share the fire with you.” And he sat down.
The boy had never experienced this. Nobody had ever stood up to him. He was used to being a bully and getting his way. He tried to push Yeshua.
The third boy that was with us saw what was happening to what he thought of as his friend and began to stand up. He was big. And Yeshua said, “No, sit down. There is room for us all.”
I don’t know if this has ever been spoken about Yeshua, but he had a beautiful clear voice. He invited the third boy of or fellowship to sit down beside him. He held his hand to help him calm down. He dedicated a space by the fire to the others, and he began to sing.
I don’t know what energy he had in that voice. I would call it magic but I know it wasn’t magic. It was just the essence of his soul pouring out, the essence of God pouring out.
The boy who was— I don’t like to call people “the slow one” or “the bully,” that’s pigeonholing them. We’re all bullies in some way; we’re all slow in some way. But our designated head bully here, as Yeshua was singing, began to cry.
Yeshua reached over and took his hand and continued to sing. The boy just eventually said, “Thank you.” He and his friends all sat by the fire.
As I got to know this boy in the coming year or two I learned that his mother had died when he was very young. He was raised by a father who felt he had to be strong and bullying to get things done. There was no softness or joy in this boy’s home, no love.
When Yeshua sang, the boy told me later, it was a song remembered from his mother and it just cracked open his heart. He began to see a whole different possibility of love in the world, not just angry power. All this from song.
It was beautiful to me to see how simply Yeshua handled this, without trying to control the bully or his friends, without trying to fix anything. Just opening to the light. Present with the light. Sharing the light. And inviting each to partake of that light as they were able and find their own healing within that light.
Thank you, Yeshua, for all that you have taught me through the years and for being my friend. I’ll pass this back to you, in case you would like to say anything about that story.
(Yeshua)
Aaron: I am Aaron, and I thank you and I embrace you, Yeshua…It’s a delight to be with you in this way.
So, in another ten days we celebrate on our present calendar what we think of as Yeshua’s birthday. It is not just his birthday, it is your birthday. It is your birthday of awakening into light. And you are taking whatever time you need to know yourself as light, and to help manifest that light so that this earth plane may become a realm of light. So there may be true overcoming of suffering.
And you are doing this not only within your hearts but also with the commitment to your practice: watching negative impulses and thoughts arise and knowing you are not those thoughts; they are simply arising from conditions. You don’t have to get caught up in them because you are love, because you are light.
As we have said already tonight, Yeshua came and planted this seed. Now our work on Earth is to nurture the seed. This transition into a higher density Earth is going to happen as a result of the ways we have nurtured the seed. And you are doing it. You are doing it so beautifully.
If doubt comes, if fear comes, despondency, simply know it again as—I’m going to sound like the broken record—as arisen from conditions. Don’t get caught up in the story of self within that experience. Just greet it hello. “Hello, catalyst. Hello, pain. Hello, anger. Hello, confusion. Sit by my fire, have tea. Shh— but I will not get into a dialogue with you.”
And in this way you nurture the seeds that he came to plant two thousand years ago. It may seem slow to you—two thousand years?
But imagine where we have come from and how much—yes, how much darkness there still is on Earth, but how much more light there is on Earth.
And the light—if you have a vast, dark, black cave and you light one candle, it breaks into the darkness.
There is no ultimate darkness. You are constantly bringing light to the darkness.
I so deeply honor you for that. It is my joy to be in a situation where I can speak with many of you regularly, where I can organize a class like the Eden Project, these Tuesday nights with me, and the rest of what we offer. Where I can help you to meet your guidance, and help remind you of the love that is your essence.
Let this be your gift to him, this Christmas season: to bring your love into the world as a reflection of the love he offered and still offers.
I love you all very much. I’m sure some of you may have questions, and we usually honor questions. But we’ve been going for almost two hours. I know Colette is tired; I know Barbara is tired, and probably others of you tired, so, no questions tonight.
I’m going to release the body to Barbara. I love you all very much. I wish you a beautiful holiday filled with love and light. And I know inevitably there will be some darkness. There is no duality. When there is darkness, where is the light in that darkness? Remember the light. Remember love. That’s all you need to do.
All the complex teachings that we offer, it all comes back to: Remember love. You are love.
Thank you.
Barbara: Love to you all and thank you. I’m kind of tongue-tied with almost two hours of Aaron being in my body, so I’m just going to say, have a very happy holiday!
