Here I Am, Lord
Yeshua (B): I am Yeshua, and I thank you for this opportunity to speak with you.
I come to you in sorrow to see what is happening on your earth. Two thousand years ago, when I came to earth as Yeshua, it was with the hope that I could diminish the hatred on earth, diminish the killing, by bringing forth these teachings of love. And of course, it goes up and down, up and down.
I cannot say people are not learning. And yes, there are more younger souls on earth today.
(powerfully) But it is time now to say no to hatred, to ceaseless killing, to murder. Murder of the innocents, of the children, of the helpless.
Many of you are here in this class because that is also your intention. The ego cannot say no. If you hate the haters, that doesn’t stop hatred.
Your work is to uproot and release the grounds of hatred, fear, and prejudice in yourself. And you can do that; you have that capacity. Aaron, John, and Barbara and clear teachers of this, and you have other teachers in your life.
So many of you are filled with anguish about what’s happening in the world, and you come to Aaron and Barbara and, I assume, John also, and you say, “I don’t know what to do.” But you do know what to do. The heart knows what to do.
I felt deep sadness looking over Barbara’s shoulder, watching these videos: the deep hole in the earth, and the refugee camp blown to bits around that hole, the bodies strewn around.
And then a reporter was interviewing several of the first responders on October 7th who were the first to come in to the various kibbutzim that were demolished. It broke my heart. They only showed quick photographs, and not so many, so most of it was what the witnesses spoke. Burned ruins with the corpses of family members, with parents and numerous small children all tied and then fires set, burned. Houses with babies beheaded. As long as such hatred and cruelty exists on earth there can never be peace.
But as we quote the Buddha saying, “Hatred never resolved hatred.” What are the seeds of hatred in yourself that remain to be rooted out and released? And what are the seeds of love in yourself?
Please walk with me here, holding the intention to say no to those who hate, but not to hate those who hate.
The Palestinians, of course, have suffered, as they did in my day. The Jews have suffered, as they did in my day.
And two thousand years of hatred is enough!
How do we stop this? How do we remember that these are not Moslems or Palestinians or Arabs or Jews; these are human beings? These are living expressions of the One, of the Father/Mother/Divine, each in its own expression. And some are filled with love and some are filled with hatred. How do we change this?
You have heard the words of this song from Barbara before, and I cannot sing it. If there is one of you here that knows the music, I will invite you to sing it. But let me just share one verse, spoken, not sung.
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who live in dark and pain
My hands will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bring my love to them?
Who shall I send?
And the refrain:
Here I am, Lord.
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
The Beloved leads us. You are not alone. But you must open your heart to hear the Beloved, to hear the love in your heart that responds to the heart of the Beloved who teaches the way to love and peace.
You must be willing to let go of all the ancient stories. And yes, you must find the courage to say no to such aggression, not with guns or hatred but with the deepest compassion. For of course there is terrible karma in coming into a village and killing helpless people.
It is kindness that says, “No, this must stop.” Are you ready? Are you with me? Together we can do this. Enough of us in the world now who stand on the ground of love. We can do it. It doesn’t matter what religion you are; all the great religions teach one thing: Love one another. Non-separation. To listen deeply, to hear each other. To hear each other’s pain and know that your pain is my pain, and I cannot turn my back on your pain. Together we can heal this earth.
Beloved ones, I call out to you, you who are here in human form and have the ability to touch this earth plane in ways that I cannot. Go into the depths of your heart and release all that remains of prejudice, hatred, and misunderstanding so that you may truly hear each other’s pain and be each other’s loving hearts.
Love one another.
Thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. I am Yeshua.
