Code of God

Jesus said, “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” (Luke 12:2)

The controversy surrounding The DaVinci Code has been in the news since Hollywood announced that it would be making a movie about the mystery novel written by Dan Brown. There have been world-wide protests and formal statements from the Vatican suggesting that the movie be boycotted, but regardless of how you feel about the book and the subsequent movie it is important to remember that the book is a fictitious story based on a series of very loosely connected historic facts.

Whether you like The DaVinci Code or not it is a fascinating global phenomenon. It truly is amazing that this story has captured the attention of the entire world. Why do you suppose this is? Is it because any great mystery novel sparks our imaginations or is it because it makes the radical claim that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene? Perhaps this book simply represents another opportunity to turn out attention away from the things of this world and remember the teaching of Jesus. As Jesus illuminates, “And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.” (Luke 12:29-31)

Jesus always draws your attention back to what is eternal – God. Notice how he is pointing out not to be anxious of mind. He is revealing that it is not only seeking the things of this world that can cause anxiety, but that your mind can also cause anxiety about things which simply will not last. Ten years from now The Davinci Code and all the controversy surrounding it will be forgotten, but Jesus Christ will never be forgotten simply because his words embody the eternal light of God.

Would Jesus be concerned about The DaVinci Code? Or would he simply turn your attention back to the Code of God? The Code of God is very simple and leads you to a feeling of peace and joy that surpasses all understanding. The things of this world are complex and only lead you toward the pain of suffering. Joy is simple and suffering is very complex. The teaching of Jesus reveals the simplicity of the Code of God.

To open to the Code of God Jesus only asks you to do two very simple things. Jesus illuminates, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:37-39). He did not say think about all the reasons why you can’t love your neighbor as yourself. He is simply asking you to love everyone - period. This means everyone on the planet not just your neighbor who lives next door. He is not asking you to think about it he is asking you to simply to open and love regardless of what you might be thinking.

Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15) Do you love Jesus? Are you willing to apply his teaching and love or is it too difficult. If you love Jesus your heart naturally opens to his eternal light. It is so simple, but your mind tends to make things so complex. Why is it that it seems so difficult to follow such a simple teaching? Perhaps it is so simple it is simply overlooked. You can use The DaVinci Code to stop everything for a moment and remember the two most important things in your life; Loving God and Loving Everyone. Or you can allow it to cause your mind to become anxious and concerned. It really is that simple.

The mind is the kingdom of discernment and the land of possibilities. There is nothing wrong with your mind – it is a powerful force, but it is important to note that the power of your mind can lead you towards what is eternal or toward the temporary things of this world. You hesitate to follow the commandments of Jesus for a multitude of reasons that only live in your mind. You think all kinds of things all the time, but as Jesus points out an anxious mind leads you away from following the Code of God – Love.

This love is a living truth that is alive within you at the core of your being. It can only be discovered when you fully open your heart to love. When you place your attention on love you will find it simple to follow the commandment of Jesus. Jesus is love. His love removes all of life’s fears and tribulations only when you stop following your thoughts outward and instead turn them inward to the source of everything that is alive at the core of your being – the Kingdom of God. As Jesus illuminates, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. ” (Luke 17:21)

Jesus only asked you to do two things nothing more and nothing less, but your mind wants to make it so much more complex. If you simply follow his advice your life will be filled with Joy. As Jesus illuminates, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (Luke 15:11) There is no greater joy than allowing yourself to abide in the eternal Light and Joy of Jesus Christ.

The DaVinci Code is giving you yet another opportunity to apply the teaching of Jesus Christ in your everyday life and experience the unending Joy of God. Are you choosing the simplicity of love or the complexities of mind?

What are you choosing today?

What does Jesus say about Revenge?

Jesus said, “But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” (Luke 6:27)

Justin Johnson always dreamed of serving his country. Sadly he only had his dream job for just twelve days. On Easter morning 2004 Justin was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. He was only 22. We have heard this kind of story over and over again. It has become almost a daily event that someone has been killed by a road side bomb in Iraq or Afghanistan.

What makes this story unique is that Justin’s father joined the National Guard so that he could avenge his son’s death. Of course Jan Johnson, Justin’s Mom, who was still reeling from the death of her son was not at all happy that her husband was going to join the fight in Iraq. In an interview with the Associated Press, she said that over a period of time she realized that going over there was what it was going to take for her husband to heal from his son’s death.

At age 49 Joe Johnson is on active duty in Iraq. The revenge that he sought was in his reach, but something unexpected happened to him on the front line; his urge for revenge faded. When he saw the terrible needs that the people of Iraq his whole motivation changed from how can I get revenge to how can I help these people. Perhaps it was his wife’s faith that caused this dramatic change. She said during the same interview, “Sometimes you have to trust the Lord and trust your husband.”

The death of a child is the ultimate challenge for any parent. Each person must choose their own path for healing. In Joe’s case he chose revenge, but by some unknowable Grace, his sword of hate was removed by compassion for the people he sought to kill.

God can work in mysterious ways. If Joe had heeded the teaching of Jesus he would not have had to risk his life in Iraq, but by pursuing his desire to avenge his son’s death he saw the tremendous suffering of the people of Iraq first hand. Perhaps this is what Jesus meant when he said, “Blessed are you that mourn for you shall be comforted.” It seems that Joe did avenge his son’s death with compassion for the people of Iraq. Maybe now Justin can rest in peace.

What do you think?

Blessed are the Peace Makers

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:10)

Several articles in various news papers have reported that the 3rd year anniversary of war in Iraq has been marked by Global Anti War Protests. Are these the people Jesus calls ”sons of God”? Who are the real peace makers?

An article in the San Francisco Chronicle notes that there were fewer people attending the various protests held around the world, but the feeling that the war in Iraq is a humanitarian crisis is felt globally.

It can be frustrating to see the continued violence and death that continues in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war has divided our country in to two groups - those who support the war and those who do not. Few would argue that this is a very painful and heated subject.

The war in Iraq has challenged our understanding of what Jesus taught on the most fundamental level. Many believe the war is justified and we are simply fighting the forces of evil. Others feel that the cost of war is too high both in terms of money and loss of life. Still others firmly believe that war is never justified regardless of the circumstances. The loss of life cannot be ignored. It is the highest sacrifice of every war. And like it or not, as Americans, we all have the blood of thousands of innocent people on our hands.

The events of 911 broke the heart of American and the world. Never before had we witnessed the horror of hatred like we did on that day. As the shock of that horrible horrible day began to subside there was a general feeling that something must be done - that we had to strike back. It was in that moment we forgot Jesus. We turned our back on him in our rush to stop the forces of evil. Which, perhaps, is exactly what the forces of evil wanted us to do.

Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sendrain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” (Matthew 5:39-47)

Love your enemies?! Have we stopped to love the terrorists? It takes courage to do that! How can we love a terrorist? But this is exactly what Jesus is asking us to do. Don’t get this wrong here. Jesus is not asking you to condone the horrific actions of terrorists - No! No! No! What they are doing is wrong. But Jesus is asking us to see something that is deeper than hatred, more powerful than any weapon of mass destruction, more powerful then fighting evil. He is asking us to LOVE!

Can you see the unbeleiveable wisdom here? Jesus is asking us to stop and turn to love instead of turning to fight. Doesn’t war cause more anger, more stife, more suffering, more poverty, more terrorists? If we can learn to love our enemies we have done more to bring peace to the world than any act of aggression ever has.

Have you stopped and prayed for the terrorists? That is hard enough, but Jesus goes a step further and asks us to pray for them. Jesus is literally showing us the way to God! He is pointing out that it is through love and prayer that we become true peace makers - the sons and daughters of God! Let me repeat that: It is through love and prayer that we become true peace makers - the sons and daughers of God! He also points out that it is easy to love those who love you, but much much more difficult to love your enemies.

Very few of us are true daughters and sons of God. How many of you have really taken what Jesus said to heart? Sadly many of the protesters of the war view themselves as agents of peace, but in truth they are no different than the warrior on the battle field. They are fighting for an idea of peace. For many protesting the war is just another form of expressing the terrible rage they feel or the frustration of not being able to stop this horrible war. This is not what Jesus asked either.

If you don’t like George Bush and feel the war in Iraq is wrong do you have the courage to love him? Have you prayed for him? For some this can be just as sickening as the idea of praying for the terroists.

If you have the courage to practice the teachings of Jesus in every day life and apply them in the most difficult situations that you face you will experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. Following the teachings of Jesus can be the most difficult thing you ever do and the most rewarding. As Jesus explains, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

This is not about choosing sides. There is no us versus them with God. It is not about protesting the war or not protesting the war. It is simply stopping to love. Stopping to forgive. As Jesus points out, “God lets the sun shine on both the evil and the good.” This is the infinite mercy of God: Unconditional Love.

You always have a choice. Why not choose to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ? He is peace itself. The embodiment of divine love. He is asking us to chose love over fear and hatred.

What do you want to choose?

Sacred Awakening

Jesus says, “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.” (Luke 12:23)

By now most of you know that this is not a typical Jesus blog. The perspective presented here is one of awakening better known as enlightenment or freedom from suffering—awakening to the truth of yourself in the Heart of Christ. It is not a Christian blog in that it does not adhere to any kind of dogma, catechism or Christian denomination. On the simplest level this blog is simply an invitation turn your attention where Jesus is pointing. What does he want you to see, to hear, to understand? If you think you know, stop for a moment and not know. Not knowing offers you the simple opportunity to discover for yourself without any idea or concept. Inquiring is self-discovery and it is through your own discovery that the profound depth of his message can be recognized, not understood, but recognized. It is a discovery so sacred so pristine it contains the power to change your life forever. Truly, it is a sacred awakening.

Jesus says, “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.” (Luke 12:23) Jesus offers you many clues that lead to self-discovery. If you look at his words as a question, rather than a statement, you have an opportunity to look into eternity. What is life? How is you body more than clothing? For years I was mystified by the Bible, it seemed that there was some hidden message that was not easily perceived, the language was strange, and incomprehensible—it left me feeling unfulfilled and disillusioned. In 1997 I had a profound mystical experience of Jesus that was the catalyst for a search for Truth. This search ended in July of 2001 when a profoundly deep prayer led me to one of the most profound teachers of our time—Gangaji. Her simple invitation, ‘To stop, be still, be quiet and discover who you are at the core,’ opened the flood gates of true wisdom. Suddenly all scripture became crystal clear. It didn’t matter if it was the sutras of Buddha, the words of Christ, the Quran, or the Upanishads—suddenly, infallibly I heard with out hearing the deepest message of Truth—the deepest message of Jesus—it was and continues to be a Sacred Awakening. Gangaji has been invited to participate in a global conversation that includes many of the world’s leading spiritual teachers in The Shift Network’s Sacred Awakening conference series—a deep conversation that contemplates the question: What does it mean to live a sacred life? Later this month you can participate in this conversation with Gangaji by phone. How can this global meeting help you to understand the teaching of Jesus on an even deeper level?

Fulfillment

A disciple asks, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” (John 6:60)

In the Sacred Awakening conference call with Gangaji, she described her profoundly deep prayer for a teacher. A few years later she received a miraculous answer to her prayer when she met her teacher, Papaji, on the banks of the river Ganga in India. At that time she thought he would give her some spiritual practice or mantra, but to her surprise he asked her to do nothing, to be still, to stop everything and inquire into the depths of herself. It was the last thing that she had ever considered and her moment of stopping was the beginning of a profoundly deep discovery that led to lasting fulfillment. What is this fulfillment that she discovered? How do you attain fulfillment in life?

Jesus responds, “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.” (John 6:63) Life moves fast. It is very rare for you or anyone to stop even for a moment to contemplate the nature of life—What is your life? What is the Spirit that gives life? What is this deep longing? During the call Gangaji explained, “In all of the traditions everywhere whether they were religious or secular, that doesn’t even matter, there is this deep desire in the human being to discover something that is bigger, something that is more. Whether you are a scientist, artist, or a spiritual seeker, that desire is a very natural part of us.” Gangaji realized and Jesus points to something bigger, something astonishing, something so close to you it is closer than your breath. This teaching of Jesus is not the teaching supported by the world—as one disciple realized, it is a hard teaching, hard to understand and harder still to apply. On Saturday March, 2010 at 2PM Pacific Time USA(please see next page for registration info) I will be hosting a conference call that will begin a global conversation, a conversation that will contemplate the question—What offers you lasting fulfillment and how can life itself help you to understand the teaching of Jesus on an even deeper level?

Where is God?

Since this blogs inception there have been many verbal stones cast. I have been called an abomination, a false prophet, a false teacher, a heretic and the book of Timothy has been thrown in my face—After all according to Timothy women should not teach. Whew! It is a really good thing I am not teaching you anything. On the other hand I have also been given more compliments than I can count, someone even went so far as referring to me as the ‘Helper’ that Jesus prophesized that he would send—and have to say that is more than a little far fetched. Naturally, it was easy to receive the compliments and at times it was painful to receive the harsh criticism until I really stopped and opened my heart fully to receive this criticism without making any movement to fix or change it—and in that sacred stopping, realized even more deeply that Love bears all things. It is hard to believe that it has been four years since I started writing articles for this blog. Certainly, I have discovered first hand that it is not easy to be a messenger or more accurately a pointer or a road sign. I have stated it many times in comments and in the many articles that I have written—I am not teaching you anything, I am not drawing any conclusions, or telling you what to think, or asking you to become a Christian, or abandon Jesus, or disavow your religious beliefs. I am, however, pointing to something that tends to challenge the generally accepted norm of Christianity and perhaps more importantly, I am extending an invitation to you to look where Jesus is pointing and deeply inquire into your own heart.

Jesus says, “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.” (John 14:20) If Jesus is in God, and you are in Jesus, and Jesus is in you—How is it that you are separate from God? The tendency is to put Jesus on a pedestal, stare at his finger, and forget to look where he is pointing. In the latest blog I have been accused of drawing conclusions that somehow fall short of the kingdom of heaven or imply that you are God and that salvation is really up to you. It is a generally accepted belief that the kingdom of heaven is somewhere else, Jesus is God and salvation occurs through him, which naturally gives rise to the questions—What does salvation through Jesus really mean? Where is the kingdom of heaven? Who is God? Or more accurately where is God? Jesus is very plain about the location of God and who you really are, as well as the path of salvation, but your mind has a difficult time stopping to recognize this vast presence. The Truth of this vastness is so close to you it is very difficult to perceive. As Jesus explains, “For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:14) Where is the narrow gate? Why is the way difficult? And why do so few discover this gate? How can this deep inquiry help you understand the teaching of Jesus on an even deeper level?

Love Simple

esus says, “Abide in My Love.” (John 15:9)

Almost four weeks ago my life changed forever. On March 31, 2010 I had major surgery at Providence Hospital in Medford Oregon to remove cysts that were causing debilitating pain. Providence is the divine guidance of God and this guidance is the infinite Love that is always present never absent—the infinite Love that you are. It is the essence of life itself. The common experience for most people is to be completely unaware of this infinite Love, this omniscient guidance that is continually flowing through your life. Certainly, I have witnessed this invisible guidance at work in my life more than once and this recent surgery offers a perfect example. Dr. Lanita Witt was highly recommended by my doctor and, due to her reputation of being one of the best doctors in her field, it looked like it would be several weeks before I could see her, but when Dr. Witt saw my chart she immediately cleared her schedule and an appointment was made for February. On that cold raining day of my first appointment I was surprised to see a crucifix hanging on the wall across from the receptionist and was even more surprised to see a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus in the lobby. ‘Hmmmm…’ I thought to myself, ‘This is no ordinary hospital!’ My first appointment was almost three hours in length—I have never had a doctor spend so much time reviewing everything. It was obvious from the ultrasound images combined with the intense pain that I was experiencing that surgery was going to be necessary. And with all the technology and professionalism what overwhelmed me the most was the Love. The Love that mysteriously led me to this Grace filled hospital and the very humble, loving, compassionate doctor who quite literally saved my life.

Jesus says, “Abide in My Love.” (John 15:9) Abidance is the state of abiding—unending, unchanging, unshakeable. Abiding in Love is simply stopping to recognizing that you are that endless, unending, unchanging Love. Love is so simple and so few perceive this infinitude. In 1827 a young woman named Émilie Gamelin was more than likely not thinking of herself as Love. She was still grieving the loss of her first two children who died shortly after their birth, when her husband died of a long illness, and as if this heartbreak wasn’t enough, it was soon followed by the shattering heartbreak of the death of her third and only remaining child. The heartbreak of this young woman was so intense that the only thing that offered her any solace was service to others in need. She devoted all of her time to caring for the sick, the elderly, orphans, and the mentally ill as well as those in prison. In 1840 she became a postulate of the Catholic Church in Montreal Canada. And on March 30, 1844 she founded the Sisters of Providence Catholic Order as Mother Gamelin, the first Superior General of the young community. Mother Gamelin later became known asMother of the Poor and her shelters became known as the House of Providence. It was the Sisters of Providence who carried on the work of Mother Gamelin building the Providence Hospital where my surgery was performed as well as several other hospitals in Canada as well as the west coast of the United States. The profundity of Mother Gamelin’s tireless work and service are encapsulated in her final words. What were Mother Gamelin’s last words and how can this life experience at Providence Hospital help you to understand the teaching of Jesus on an even deeper level?

What do you Trust?

For weeks now I have been wondering what to do with this blog. Is it really serving you? Is it helping you to see the deepest Truth that Jesus is eternally pointing you toward? Certainly, there is a prevalent fear of false prophets, false teachers, false leaders, and the great fear that the end of the world is near. In contemplating this the question arose, ‘What do you trust?” Can your thoughts be trusted? Your feelings? Can people be trusted? And a deeper question arises, “What can always be trusted?” Certainly if you are in the dark, if you are ignorant of truth, ignorant of the freedom, ignorant of the peace that surpasses all understanding, you are like a man walking in the darkness not knowing where you are going.

Jesus continues, “Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” (John 12:35) Where is this light? What is this light? What is the nature of light? Emotions change. Feelings change. People, places and things in your life are in constant flux, constant change. Life itself is a continuum of change, but what is it that never changes? What is always present regardless of your circumstances, your emotions, your wealth or your poverty, your tears or your laughter, your health or your sickness? Stop for a moment and ask yourself, “What do I trust? What is present when I am happy and when I am sad?” What is always present that can always be trusted?

What do you trust?

What makes you a Christian? - God's Love

The Christian faith is not a smorgasbord where you can pick and choose what you like or what suits you best. You can't claim to have faith in Christ, yet support the things that the Bible speaks against. Either God is real, or He is not. Christianity is not a Religion but a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

Let me first clarify what a Christian is. A Christian is a person who has made the personal choice to ask Jesus to forgive them of their sins, repent (turn away from) of their sins, and ask Christ into their heart by faith It is your personal faith in Christ that makes you a Christian.

…that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life -John 3:16

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation - Romans 10:10

For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast - Ephesians 2:8-9

The church you belong to cannot save you. Having a priest or pastor baptize you when you were a baby did not save you. Living a good life does not save you. The fact that your parents are Christians cannot save you (though they can guide you to salvation). Only making the choice to ask the Lord to forgive your sins, repent or turn from your sins, and ask Christ into your heart makes you a Christian.

If this is not something that you have never done, the Bible says that TODAY is the day of salvation. Pray, ask God to open your heart. God has made it so easy, but it is a choice that only YOU can make.

Visit our Not saved page for more.

Once you have gotten to this point, the next step is that you MUST accept the Bible as God's inspired, inerrant Word. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a Christian and not accept the Bible as God's Word.

You see, to come to Christ by faith, you have accepted that this is God's plan to give his creation which is separated from Him because of their sin, a way to come back into His everlasting fellowship. This is God's SURE plan!

That is why faith in Buddha will not save you. That is why faith in a golden statue will not save you.

It is ONLY faith in Jesus Christ that saves you because it was Jesus Christ who God sent to die for your sins! He was God's perfect sacrifice to give fallen man a way back into everlasting fellowship with Him. So if you accept THAT, then you have to accept the ENTIRE BIBLE as God's inspired, inerrant Word. It can't be only part right!

This is where so many Christians break down in their life. They simply don't want to let go of the things of this world. The fact is, this life is only a brief journey anyway. When it is over, the things of this world will be gone, and the ONLY thing that you will be left with is the fact that you have Christ in your heart, or you have rejected His love (God’s Love) for you. PERIOD.

As a Christian, you, me, each one of us, is called to be a light to this dark world that we live in. We can ONLY let our light shine bright when we are living fully, 100% for HIM. If you believe that God is real, TODAY is the day to make sure your life reflects that belief!

Remember, you don’t have to be a pulpit pastor to be hot 100% for God – The fact is I myself, I’m still running from that call and often say “Lord, bless me and make me a blessing to others. I will give my time for your kingdom. But I don’t want to be on the pulpit too often… Nevertheless, its not my will but yours be done” But if God says Go, Who are we to say No.

In His love and service,
