Lion of Light: Drops of Atmosphere

The most important of things in life, my friends, is to determine what each thing you hear or experience means to you personally. I speak unequivocally when I say that in truth the meaning of anything and everything is layered. That is to say it will often apply differently for different people, and even differently for you as you progress in awareness. The reason is that not all layers are visible to a person at his present state of development. While this truth is readily apparent, over time, as one lives in this world, it is not always applied when those in positions of power decide how things are to be interpretted and taught within a religion or sect. I assure you that misinterpretations and incomplete interpretations of the words and actions of the spiritual masters who have preceeded us is perhaps the single biggest reasons for the deteriorating state of the political and man-made organizations we call religions in the world. It is for this reason, when one hears the words of the master (whomever the master may be [whether Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, or any enlightened master]) it is of the utmost importance naturally to think about and feel what the statement means to you (and this must be done with as much honesty and courage as one can muster on many occaisions, as its meaning may not always be appealing to your ego). Do not simply accept some other person's interpretation of it. To do so is to assume that they have perfectly understood it and know every possible meaning of this saying for every possible person, at every possible stage of development, and that they have been able to take all such knowledge and distill it into one interpretation of what it means and how it applies to all people at all times. This unenviable role is often the one that a religion takes up. While they do it with good intentions, inevitably, in this impossible task, they fail, and then because they feel responsible for being people's guides they then fail to see and/or admit that they have failed. What becomes even more problematic is when a whole set of rituals and required actions, ways of living and frameworks for thinking, are set up within religions organization based upon what will almost always be an incomplete analysis of the master's teaching. This brings me to another point my friends. You do not have to agree with the religion which claims to represent your master on everything; indeed you should not. The divine plan for you is far too complex for them to cover in their blanketed, one size fits all, interpretations. Being a good Christian or Hindu or Muslim or Buddhist or whatever is not achieved by following the rules of man made institutions who claim that their rules are those of God, it is in being constantly aware of improving yourself and your consciousness and in wholeheartedly following the teachings of your master as you deeply and honestly feel they should be followed. President Kennedy, during the Cuban Missle Crisis is reported to have said , "There is something immoral about abandoning your own judgment." This is doubly true in matters of spiritual growth as no two souls walk the exact same path. Your relationship with the divine may at this time seem to be facilitated by a particular religion, and that is okay, but I promise that in truth it is not by any man-made institution that you will attain salvation. It is by your ever increasing relationship with your Father in your own heart. A religion may give you general guidelines, but they are not perfect shepherds. You are the one who must decide what is true for you and how you must live. God is the only true guide and God is inside you.

With regard to power, the goal my friends is not apparant power over the course of events in one's life, but transcendent power regardless of the events in one's life. And power is not demonstrated by the moving of things in the world, but the inability of the things of the world to move you.

The first thing I will share is this: Whoever surrenders completely to the divine is as one with it.
This is perhaps the most valuable of things to know. This one piece of information, when put into practice, can literally result in the development of the consciousness to a place of enlightenment. It is perhaps the most important thing one can ever learn and so it must be elaborated upon.
To begin it should be understood that this sort of surrender cannot be partial, nor half-hearted; it must be consuming. One's body and ALL its actions, one's lips and ALL its words, one's mind and ALL it's thoughts, must be given completely and as often as possible, but at least once a day, to the divine. All must be considered to be thought, spoken, or done to God, for God, from God, and in God. This is the way to the freedom and bliss of permanent transcendence; this is the way to enlightenment. But even further one must surrender all posessions, relationships, ideas, traits and habits and emotions and feelings and even one's personality itself to the divine. Everything one can imagine and everything one cannot. Everything must go in the sale.
While it may seem simple, this is truly the way to the divine; is it at all surprising that everything must be returned to the rightful owner before the universal books can ever be balanced and freedom of the prisoner be acquired. It is the knowledge that everything is, was, and ever will be God's. That nothing is, was or ever will be yours (the false you that is, the personalitys that is). In this one understands that everything, from the air we breathe to the thoughts we think, to the car we drive, to the spouse with which we share our bed is on loan from the divine and may be reclaimed at any time. The understanding and meditating on this is how detachment is most easily achieved; this is how the encumbering baggage which slows the journey home can be released without worry at the proper times; by this means alone, it is possible to become enlightened. It's continual practice will bring significant and observable results in every case. No one who engages in this process sincerely and continually will fail to get results in the raising of his or her consciousness. As was mentioned before it is perhaps the most important piece of information you will ever get. Make use or waste of it as you will.

This is to be the first entry into the website. The Launch of jesusaaron.com will commence with this message posting to site. Those who would be wise, let them listen; I can promise they will benefit. I am here as your servant. Though you may call yourself one of my fans or my admirers or my friends or my enemies, still will I make offerings to you, open doors for you, hand out raincoats and make passageways over the puddles of this existence. As to whether you accept any of the offerings, walk through any of the doors, or utilize any of the raincoats or passageways, I leave to you; I am quite unconcerned with it. My duty is to offer them, not to make you accept them. Truth is Truth whether it is believed as such or not. Many will know my words by the truth that rings in them, some will not get it this time around, and may even be opposed to it. It is the natural state of things, one cannot hear what he is not ready to hear, nor understand what he does not wish to understand. Those who wish to ignore may do so, those who wish to speak against me may do so... I love them all. I am here on behalf of the same divine principle which has made them, and which they will eventually merge with. In the end everything merges into one. In the end the words I speak will be swept away by the sands of time. Until then, they will be heard. I have been given many gifts in this life, some of which I can barely comprehend, I intend to give them all away, I intend to give them all to you. Take what you will from them and put them to use. Be you friend or foe, I wish you well. I love you all.

Be Ever in Bliss
