from Jesus:
Ask and ye shall receive.
At the time The Christ Is Born in You was given, the website
was not yet created, so there really was nothing to support except the
book. Although I had plans for the website back then, it was difficult
to predict how people would respond to such a website and how many people
would actually visit the site. I must say that the response to the website
has been far better than expected.
While this is certainly good, it has had the effect that many people
find so much information on the website that they tend to ignore the
books. This is somewhat of a loss for people because all of the books
are specifically written to form an ascending spiral that gradually
takes you to higher levels of awareness. This is clearly reflected in
your testimony after reading The Christ Is Born in You.
That book is written to take people step-by-step to an understanding
of my true inner message and the purpose behind my mission. Although
you can find a lot of that information on the website, most people tend
to skip around on the website, and therefore they do not read the information
in the exact order it was given by me. That is why there is an important
advantage to be gained from reading the books. When you read a book
from the beginning, you are following a spiral staircase. Each step
builds on the previous step, which increases your chances of having
a breakthrough experience that will be life-transforming.
The remark in The Christ Is Born in You reflects the fact that
I have no desire, and Kim has no desire, to start a movement that becomes
like so many traditional Christian churches. With that I mean that the
survival of the movement becomes more important than spreading the spiritual
teaching and setting people free. Kim clearly realizes the danger of
this, as do I.
It is, however, my hope that a movement will gradually spring up, a
movement that will be focused on spreading the spiritual teachings and
helping people rather than perpetuating the organization itself. A movement
that is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
That being said, it is obvious that we have come a long way since I
first gave The Christ Is Born in You. The website has grown
to a point where it is quite appropriate that people send a direct contribution
to support the website. I would like to see the information on the website
be available freely. In other words, I don't want there to be a membership
fee in order to access some of the information on the website. However,
for that to be a realistic goal, some people must make a voluntary contribution.
Therefore, it is appropriate to send a donation for this purpose.
Yet I would still like people to consider supporting this endeavor by
buying the books and giving them to others. It is my goal to see these
books go far and wide, and the best way to ensure this is by word of
mouth. No promotion is better than a direct recommendation from somebody
who has read the book. Obviously, there is a limit to how many books
a person can give away, so after you reach your personal limit, feel
free to send a contribution as you are moved from within.
Right now the most important books to get out are The Christ Is
Born in You, Save Your Planet and I Am a Thinking
Christian. However, when giving a book to someone you know, follow
your heart and give them the book that has the greatest appeal to them.
I am sure that those who visit this website can see that it is currently
not likely that we can get these books reviewed by the mainstream media.
Therefore, the spreading of these books depends on a grassroots movement.
This is no different today than when I walked the Earth 2,000 years
ago. Mainstream society rejected me, as is clearly evidenced by the
scriptures. Yet I can tell you that the opposition from mainstream society
was much greater than is reflected in the scriptures. The elite of the
time saw me as the ultimate threat to their established position.
Even today the elite will see this website and my books as a clear threat
that they will seek to suppress as much as possible. Therefore, as was
the case 2,000 years ago, this endeavor can spread only through those
with an open mind and heart and a willingness to make whatever contribution
they can make in a balanced and responsible manner. I am therefore grateful
for anyone who supports this new movement whether financially or in
other ways. I am especially grateful for those who can catch the vision
of the potential for spreading my true teachings and who want to be
a part of this new adventure.
