Jesus  “Greetings.  What a beautiful day is it not?  It reminds me of the days I would walk with my sandals in the sand, the sandy roads – I called them the sandy roads of time – and how, after a long journey, I would get very weary and I would go into a friends house and have a drink of whatever they had to offer.  Twas always given with kindness and in love.  I had many friends in those days, people you call neighbours.  People you knew who you grew up with, you worked with and who became, after many years, friends.  People who understood you, people who knew where you were coming from.  This was a most beautiful feeling for me because it was a feeling of belonging, and that is also a tricky one.  You see, I felt I belonged to the village people, I belonged to the people I knew who I worked with.  I belonged to the fishermen, to the ladies who helped with the food and the wine.  I felt I belonged to all of this – but I didn’t belong, I wasn’t to belong.  I was a light, a light that went forth in the darkness and I was to guide the way for what you now call Christianity.  But oh, how it has changed since the days I spoke to others of love and compassion and understanding.  You see, people think today, to love is to give of material things.  They believe in getting a wonderful material gift, that that person loves them, otherwise they would never have given them such a beautiful gift.  Compassion? oh dear, that is a great pity and they turn around and get on with their life as though nothing had happened.  Desires, of how they wish for this and they wish for that, but it will be wishing for themselves, not wishing for others.  And you see how today, how all these beautiful Christian feelings have now turned and people do believe that these are still, that they still have the values they had then.  But no my friends, they have all taken on different values, totally different values.  It saddens me to see this because a glass of water given in love and kindness has as much more love than a glass of your so-called best cognac.  You see, it’s how it is given and also how it is received.  Many look and say ‘what, you give me a glass of water, what an insult.’  But how is it an insult? It is a glass of water, it is cool to your body, it has quenched your thirst, so why is it an insult?  It is a gift, a gift of many.  But people tend to put values on gifts, values on all they do, and think and feel.  But it doesn’t have a value.  Things should not have a value.  A gift should be a gift, without any price, love should be love given freely from the heart at any depth.  You give as you can and if you give of yourself, what more can be asked of you?  You give of yourself.  Love yourselves, love yourselves very deeply and very strongly within, then you may give unto others.  If you do not love yourselves, how can you give the gift of love to others, you have nothing to give, there is nothing there.  If you do not love yourselves, how can you give this gift, there isn’t anything to give.  It is the same with human thought forms.  Your thoughts.  If you cannot give thoughts of kindness, of goodness, of generosity, how can you give these gifts if they are not within yourselves?  Develop all these gifts within yourselves my friends, and then you will be able to give unto others.  You know you say, treat others as you wish to be treated, but remember you have to know how to treat others, you have to know how to feel before you can give unto others.  So remember, seek within yourselves, seek within the depths of your souls, seek within before you can give outside.  I hope you have understood what I have been trying to say to you.  We believe we are this, we believe we are that, but you must feel it within your souls, not just believe.  If you believe something, you cannot give it as a gift because it is only a belief. You have to know you have that something to be able to give it to others.  Bless you”
