All right, I'll greet  you all this day of your time as you create time to
exist.  How are you all this day of your time?

We once again thank you for the co-creation of this interaction which we
will entitle "Redefining Dogma."  Now the idea that we have perceived going
on, in your society, at this time, is that there are the creations of many
factions of belief systems with regard to your relationship to creation
itself.  In what you call your typical format expression of this
relationship, you use the word religion to explain and express your
relationship to  creation.  Now, in what you call your New Age awareness,
what, if we may have a little bit of fun with the term may reterm, the /neo-/
/geo/ awareness upon your planet, you are now beginning to understand
different ways, different methodologies of expressing your relationship to
creation rather than what you may term the ritualistic or dogmatic
expression termed religion.

Now, first allow us to underline, very importantly, we are in no way, shape
or form invalidating any one chosen methodology of relating to creation.
All tools are valid, as we have said many times, and will always say.  If
you find that your particular religious aspects are what work for you, in
expressing your relation to creation, then by all means utilize them until
you find, for yourself, in your own good time, that they no longer suffice.


But you may also find, that in your desire to redefine what you are coming
out of, what you are used to hearing of, in terms of religious expression,
in terms of redefining it, in what you may call  a more metaphysical
understanding, a New Age understanding, there may be some difficulty using
the correct terminology.  Or terminology, we shall say, that feels correct
to you, that feels appropriate, that feels that it has the same impact to
the terminology that you were brought up to understand.  So we will
endeavor to be of assistance, this day of your time, in creating an example
and a suggestion for how some of the older terminologies can be transformed
and redefined into newer terminologies that, as you say, fit the bill.

Now, we will utilize one particular example simply because it is probably
the most familiar example to your particular culture, at this time in
general.  In no way, shape or form, by using the following example, do we
mean to call out any one particular religious persuasion as being anymore
correct than any other.  We simply use it because it is a matter of common
knowledge to you all.

Now, you will find that because there is a high degree of redefining going
on in your society at this time because you are beginning to look at things
in a different way, a new way.  You will find that there is a great deal of
polarization taking place between the individuals on your planet that are
willing to redefine and the individuals on your planet that want to, in
your terms, stick to the old terminology.  So there is a great degree of
focus going on that sometimes, we have observed, creates some friction
between the different factions that you create yourselves to be.  One group
may insist that another group should be looking at the idea this way;
another group may insist that the former group should be looking at it,
that way; each group thinking that they are correct, they are more right
than the other group.  Now, the idea, more often than not, that we have
observed being expressed in your society usually deals with what you call
your Christianity, your Christ consciousness awareness.

You will generally find that the phrase that certain individuals will, more
often than not, utilize to determine your particular alignment to creation
will be the following phrase.  Most of you have, in all likelihood, heard
the  phrase many times, it usually goes as follows: "Do you accept Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Savior?"   Now, all well and good, but it leaves
wide room for interpretation in many different ways.  Before we supply what
to us would be perceived as a redefinition of that statement, let us first
refresh everyone's memory as to some definitions about what the elements of
that particular statement mean, at least, from our point of view.  We  have
talked, off and on, about the idea of what you have termed Christ
consciousness as being, from our point of view, the collective
consciousness of your entire planet, what could be called the World Soul,
the World Spirit.  In other words, Christ consciousness or what some
individuals  may call the Buddha nature, or any other name, is the
compilation of all the individual consciousnesses upon your world.

Every world, every dimension, every civilization has its own group
consciousness which would be its own world spirit.  In our ancient
language, as we have said, we have called ours Shakana. You call yours
Christ consciousness and a variety of other names.  Now, that Christ
consciousness, that World Spirit knows itself because it is conscious as a
singular individual, as a singular entity, knows itself as a single entity,
but also knows itself as the combination of all the entities that make it
up.

But you see, to the Christ consciousness it always must be both; it must
be both polarities.  It is never an issue, "Is it this way or that way?"
"Which is the real way that it is?"  "Is the Christ Consciousness one
entity or is it the combination of all of us?"  It is both, it always must
be both.  For anything that you can perceive in the format of a polarity
lets you know, right then and there, because you can perceive it as a
polarity, that both sides must, somewhere at the center, blend and be both
equally true and equally valid.

So first and foremost we would, shall we say, replace the idea of the term
Jesus Christ with the term World Spirit, for to us that is what it is. In
interacting with your society, we do find that it is necessary, now I'm
going to put this extremely colloquially; it doesn't necessarily mean  that
the way I say this is the way you are used to thinking of these terms, but
our civilization, because it comes from another realm, another dimension,
actively seeks permission from your World Spirit to interact with  its
individualized components.  So that we ensure that we are acting in the
most integrated possible way to assist you in your true endeavors, your
true desires, rather than, as you say, stepping on any toes or spilling any
beans or unwrapping any presents before they need to be unwrapped.  So we
always, as you say, double check with the World Spirit to align with the
pace, align with the pulse and the synchronicity that takes place within
that World Soul before we interact with the components of that
civilization.  Therefore, we may now continue with the idea of redefining
the terms Lord and Savior.

Now, in your society because of the way you have interacted socially,
politically for many thousands of years, the term being used to represent
the Christ consciousness, Lord, in a sense, is accurate.  However, again,
it has many connotations which do not necessary act as a pure
representation of what the idea of the World Spirit is.  Remember that from
our point of view, the idea of the Creator does not really rule, per se, in
the way that you are used to thinking of that term, over its components.
It doesn't need to.

If a Creator created free will, it is a contradiction in terms to all of a
sudden want to control the idea of the components that have free will. The
idea of being a Lord, in a sense, as far as we are concerned, is simply a
representation of the magnitude of its involvement with you and your
involvement with it.  In other words, it sets down the general theme, the
general pattern, the general atmosphere in which you exist as a society.
But it does not rule, it does not judge, as a lord, as a king, as a ruler
would, in what you call your physiological political system.  It simply
presides, shall we say, observes, shall we say, gives birth to the overall
pattern, the overall atmosphere in which all the probable realities you can
experience physically are manifest from.  It determines the overall  law of
the vibrational reality in which you reside.  But it is a benign, a rather
passive determination, a rather passive structure.  The structure is simply
placed within that reality and all the individualized components make use
of that structure in whatever way, shape or form they so desire with their
own individual free will.

So since each and every individual within the World Spirit is a component,
an extension of that World Spirit, it can be said that the World Spirit is
an Oversoul to the entire world, in that sense.  Therefore, you could say
that the term Lord could be replaced with the idea of the word Oversoul,
which simply means that you are deriving your pattern, you are deriving
your cues for the smooth operation of your reality from the Oversoul of
which you are a part, from which you are extended.

Savior, once again, has to do with the separation that you have created
within yourself from your connection to the Infinite.  It has a lot to do
with the idea that you have created guilt, frustration, separation,
judgement and invalidation upon yourself, so that you think you need saving
from some abysmal pit into which you have been thrown.  But the idea, now
that you are recognizing it in your New Age awareness, is that you have
always been in control.  As we have said many times, it is simply that you
have forgotten that you are an aspect of the Infinite, forgotten that you
are always in control, forgotten that you are the individual creators of
your own reality and the combined creators of your mass consciousness.

The idea that you need saving implies that you are not an aspect off the
Infinite and do not contain internal self-empowerment, which you do.  So
you do not really need saving.  But perhaps because of the state that you
have created for yourselves, now and then you might need a little guidance.
 And so, instead of the idea of looking to what you may call the Christ
consciousness as a savior, perhaps you can look at the Christ consciousness
as a guide, as a mirror, as a reflection, as that which gives you the
vibration to key off of, to find that you can be a aligned with that
vibration and have everything in your life run smoothly by synchronizing
with that particular frequency.

The idea that you call surrender up to the idea of God or the Christ
consciousness in no way, shape or form means that you are giving up
responsibility for your creations.  It means that you're actually taking
full responsibility. It is simply that your society is so used to
experiencing control by experiencing resistance that when you finally have
true control with no resistance at all, you don't think you are doing
anything.  You think you've given up.  You think something else is running
your life now because it is absolutely effortless.

When you surrender, what you're doing is taking back full responsibility
for your creations in life, for the creation of your total reality and full
responsibility for being a co-creator; as you were made in the image of
God, as you say, a co-creator with creation.  When you do that and when you
align and synchronize with the flow, with the guidance that is always
radiated to you, then your life is effortless and it doesn't feel, in that
sense, like you are actually controlling anything, but you are.

So the idea, once again, of someone coming up to you now and saying, "Do
you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?" can to some degree be
redefined in the following way: "I accept the World Spirit as my Oversoul
and my Guide."  It is the same thing.  The idea, however, of saying it that
way removes the judgment, removes the invalidation, removes the
disconnectedness and the separation that you have created from the idea of
Creation itself, and puts it squarely back on a equal term within you.  So
that you can go through your life consciously knowing that the World
Spirit, in a sense, watches over you.

But at the same time, you play just as important a part in sustaining and
supporting the existence of the World Spirit by being as fully realized a
being, by being as fully realized a component as you can be; by taking back
full responsibility for your lives and exercising full conscious and
effortless control  in the creation of the reality you prefer.  Use this,
if you wish, as an example of how to redefine and transform all of what you
may call the old world terminology, if that will assist you to see yourself
in a clearer light.  Simply, that is our sharing with you this day, this
evening, of your time.

Before we begin the interaction, allow us to share with you also one more
thing; a little bit of a meditation.  So you may all close your eyes and
take three deep breaths.  This meditation will be for the purpose of
creating a little bit more of an alignment with the World Spirit, with the
Oversoul, with the guides that all of you are an aspect of.

As each an every one of you now takes a leisurely and peaceful breath,
allow yourself to remember that breath is life; life is breath.  It is the
fundamental vibration, a fundamental signature vibration.  Any time any of
you want to know what your signature vibration is, and that means your
signature vibration is your unique frequency relationship to Creation, any
time any of you want to know what that is, take a deep breath in and let
out a tone, let out a sigh.

That is your particular vibration.  It does not even have to last very
long.  All you have to do is feel it, all you have to do is hear it; all
you have to do is find that range wherein you feel most comfortable and you
feel your bodily form resonating with warmth, with invigoration, with life,
with potential, with promise, with probability.  That's all you need to do
and as soon as you do that, in that instant you are one-hundred percent
completely aligned.  It is that simple. Now, what you do from that instant
forward is up to you.  You can become dis-aligned again if you wish; but
you do not have to.

As soon as you have that signal, as soon as you have that tone, you are
aligned.  Any time you find yourself having created a situation where you
are, as you say, at odds, where you are, perhaps, frustrated, where you
are, perhaps, a little anxious, take a moment. Take three deep breaths and
then on the fourth one, take a big deep breath and let out the tone, let
out the sigh of release, the sigh of alignment, the tone of crystallization
and you will be realigned.  It is that easy.

For never, never, never was it written anywhere, in any text, in any fabric
of creation, that it should be deemed in any way, shape or form difficult
for you to realize and fully understand that you are expressions of the
Christ consciousness too.  It was always made to be the simplest of things
to allow you to remember your connection to the Infinite.  And because it
is such a simple thing that is why it was designed the way it was.  Because
any time you had enough, any  time you've been struggling too much, any
time you've been trying too hard, the only thing you need to do, and the
first automatic reaction you have, is to sigh. That's how you get back to
center.  It is the first and most basic primal release and centering
mechanism you have. Use it.

We thank you for you willingness to interact at this time.  You may open
your eyes at your own pace, finding within you  that degree and level of
comfort that now expresses who and what you are as a realized being and an
aspect of the Infinite.  And at this timing, we extend to each and every
one of you, once again, our deepest appreciation for the co-creation of
this interaction in the way that your imagination and our imagination have
deemed it shall be.

 We thank you for allowing us to experience the gift of your consciousness.
 And in return, once again, I ask you now, how, in what joyous way for me,
may I be of service to you?  Sharing!
