Beloved brothers and sisters, it is I, Judas.
I come to this happy gathering, and I will speak to you tonight about, as brother Khalil* stated, living in the world but not of it. First and foremost, consider if you will, if even for a moment, worlds within worlds. Consider the multitude of particles in each body. You have galaxies and universes inside you working in miraculous ways, so that you may function, intuit, be able to move, and discriminate, with all the senses known and unknown to you. And though some may be disabled, their senses are heightened, but they are the other ones.
So, how does one live in the world and yet be not of it? It is when your prayer is deep, and you are in the flow of God’s love, in a place of grace, completely engaged and yet detached from your concerns, while at the same time immersed and embraced in the love of God. If one could maintain this prayerful state, and more and more many of you do, one begins to see the world with different eyes. The awakening of your soul brings perceptions that extend beyond the mere senses into the realm of angels. In a small sense, I could say you begin to perceive another’s soul, and though you may not physically see the soul, if you consider each person to be a soul, in your engagement with them, you can feel the vibrations, you can feel the intentions, and you can even sense the physical condition of another. But as it is your wish to be a blessing to the world, then I would say every time you step out of your comfort zone, your limited perceptions, and into the prayerful place of your soul, you are a walking blessing. And we have asked you to bless every soul you encounter, but first and foremost, we have asked you to be in communion with the heavenly Father. For this love has already lifted you above the world and given you the heartfelt empathy to embrace it. This is the meaning of living in the world and not of it.
Sometimes, this might require shaking up your routine, which is why you see people go on a fast, retreat for prayer, or embark on a spiritual journey or walk, to remove themselves from the usual and mundane, into the miraculous. You have been well schooled, and you know the truth of what I speak. It is only necessary, as Jesus asks us, to stay awake, to be aware, to allow your heart to be completely opened to this Divine Love, letting all else go, because as you let go and open to the love of God, you create a glorious connection.
You are now in the will of God and in the flow of grace with all things in harmony, no matter what chaos the world may seem to be in. Be the peace that passes understanding, human understanding, that your soul perceptions may guide you. You shall know when the time is right to engage, to serve, to bless, and to step back. Let your light shine upon the earth and to every soul with the great gift of the Love Divine. Let us be still in this love of God. May it bless all. Go in peace.
I am your brother Judas.
