      Introduction

      This discourse is not given to represent a history of biblical events, so much as it is offered as reflections and testimonies of redemption and resurrection, for such is the destiny of the Soul.

      ~ For There Came the Love of Eternal Divine Forces from the Pastures of the Brilliant One, that being our Father-Mother and Creator, who would visit His Heart before and upon all men thru the Life and Light of this Son. This Masterful Soul and Our Brother in Spirit being Holy Anointed as the Path Maker of Our Great Brotherhood of Souls, bears True Witness and Companionship with Our Father and His Creative Purposes, Essence of Will and Love thereof ~

      He walked among us so that Man could hear, see and know of the Great Truth of His Own Heritage. Jesus taught that one should earnestly seek and pray to know the Will of Our Father’s Spirit within and awaken the Kingdom of God. You embody within your soul the Eternal Spark of the Father, the Priceless Pearl of your Divine Nature. This is the Living Truth of Every Man and Entity Incarnate upon the Material Journey. Throughout the all and unending Heavenly Kingdoms and Spiritual Domains of the Soul, as well as here in physical realms, we are called to remember that we are the Sons of Our Father’s Love and Our Destiny is wholly assured and perfected in Him as Companions of the Infinite Expression of Creative Forces within all Life.

      We are the Immortal and Blessed Sons and Daughters of God, and the Great Revelation of this Truth was then manifested within the experience of Man thru the Material bestowal of the Life of Jesus, our Elder Brother being both a man and yet One married in complete oneness to the Will of the Divine Forces of the Fathering Spirit of Creation, or God. And He handed us the keys to the Kingdom of Our Father as He taught, Love the Father with all your heart and soul, and your brother and neighbor as being that same Self, just as I have loved you.

      The Whispering Voice of Compassion, Love and Mercy, that beats upon the doors of Man’s Heart is the Language of the Soul. If you would know the Heart of your Father then Seek to know your Own for they are One and the Same. The Graciousness of This Attending Presence and Perfect Intention lives always within your journey. Loving one another respects our Truth and gives Honor to All Life and the One Source.

      Chapter 1

      ~The Veil~

      I was born James, and first brother to Jeshua ~ Jesus ~ who had come into this world nearly four years prior. And so it was that I followed Him, like so many of us who have followed with Him from our earliest beginnings of this glorious Journey of Spirit in Soul and Body.

      The Veil drops and I awaken as a hungry child under a blazing sun. Then, warmly bathed, I am gently tucked and folded in a blanket and lamb skin. I sleep and am well nurtured as a babe. Several years pass till I am found to be a crab-walking toddler in a dusty gathering of knees and noise. I feel protected yet unsafe. The sound of the voices in this gathering place of men, animals, coins, and soldiers, makes my skin burn with tension, and I wish not to have my hand let go of. But it falls free and I fear I will be lost when suddenly a new hand takes mine and I am instantly steadied.

      I see Him, the background of the sun behind Him making His dark brown curls shine like red and gold grapes. He smiles and I see and feel an assured safety in His eyes and from His hand, a safety not felt in the hands of others.

      As a very young man, I loved Him. He was my older brother and my friend. But I also feared for Him, and for myself as well, for He was a Pure Lamb from God sent into a world filled with the dens of wolves. Within me grew an awareness, a feeling of being locked into oncoming events. On the day of my twelfth birthday, He told me of certain visions He had seen about the future and He said, Do not be alarmed James, that I should so soon prepare you. Just as those events of divine markings have preceded us, so also now comes the Rain of the Father’s Love and Will to live among us, in these, the long awaited and appointed Times. I was much alarmed. Though I always found His words convincing and received them deep within me, knowing that He must be One of the Chosen Ones who are taken from within by The Great Spirit of Truth and Life, yet I did not want to believe Him. I did not want to believe in parts of His visions that spoke of mayhem and crucifixion, and even of a resurrection. Often I wrestled with fear and anguish for thoroughly and without pause I believed every word that ever fell from His lips, even when I did not fully understand Him. It would require a lifetime of experience for me to more fully comprehend the Truth of His words and the purposes of His mission. This also I would tell you now and with sincere declaration; though I let go of His hand more than a few times, He never let go of mine and He held that same great love for everyone.

      Chapter 2

      ~ His Gift of Speech and Conversation ~

      Jeshua was remarkably gifted in speech and conversation. From His earliest interactions as a child, it was noticed readily by everyone around Him that His words were always pointedly delivered and He seemed never to waste a word. He also bore an immensely inquisitive nature, which was relentlessly employed in His search for the understanding of the nature of all the things of heaven and earth and of the ways and affairs of men. His questions contained their answer, and His answers and replies made you question your thoughts and look within before speaking.

      He shunned arguments and ended them by getting right to the heart of the matter in His discourse. And greatest of all was the humbling, comforting, inspiring, illuminating healing eloquence of His teaching manner. Whether engaging in personal encounters or teaching among throngs of listeners, His Presence, Voice, Authority, and Love was Magnetic, feel-able, and compelled great attention from every association that He entered into.

      His questions and answers brought alarm and conflict to those brothers who would position themselves as opponents, for they provided a sudden, and sometimes unwelcome, injection of Truth into these discussions. Jeshua’s words and voice pierced in such a way that all who heard Him were jarred into reflecting on their own thoughts; one would suddenly know where one’s darkness and error lay.

      The revelation of such nakedness within was not always well received, especially among those who felt they had much to hide from themselves and others. Jeshua took no joy in overcoming those who sought to entrap or outwit Him but He never wavered in His delivery of Truth. Those priests and men who sought to show Him up as inferior found themselves inwardly disturbed, for as He said, Many have in error built their temples of peace and comfort out of the mere twine and threads of their very thin robes. The air would fill with their frustrated gasps as
