And so, over and over did Jesus say

 So to this I have a few points to offer you that will secure and make sure that that’s in place. The first is becoming selfless. Now over the years we have actually taken a few moments in a number of discourses and talked about this and then quickly turned our attention onto something else. The reason why is because if we spoke on the subject of selflessness for hours, as we could, at some point whatever is left in you of the human the little ‘I’ would rebel and that’s the portion of the little ‘I’ now that you’ve discovered that you have this big ‘I’, that’s the portion of the little ‘I’ that the altered ego could still get into, do you understand? So over the years we’ve taken it slowly into the receiving of ideas into you so that this could, you could slowly absorb it so that when it came time for me to just lay it out that there would not be rebellion or resistance in you, do you understand? (Yes)

 We used the first year of Jesus’ ministry as an example, being taught by his Master very well Jesus knew that empowering the outer self the little ‘I’ is very slippery slope and generally it is not a slope that you’re going up but rather a slope that you’re sliding down and Jesus stated this so often when there were those who wanted to praise Him for the miracles, his famous words; “Why do you calleth me good?” He reprimanded His followers, “Why do you call me good, there is only one that is good and that is God.” Jesus knew that the outer self’s seeming requirement to be constantly acknowledged to be constantly recognized would eventually work against the falling away of the little self, and the rising up of the True God Self.

 And so, over and over did Jesus say, “It is ‘I’ in the midst of me that doeth all things,” not letting himself, not letting the Jewish Rabi Jeshu ben Joseph take credit for anything, “It is ‘I’ in the midst of me that doeth these things,” yes? And so it is this whole idea, the idea of making a great shift towards selflessness, to watch yourself. There is one place that you ought to seek recognition and that is from yourself, to give yourself loving recognition, but every initiate, every student must come to this place, and so this is something that you just have to watch very closely dear hearts.

 Now I’m going to say something to you so that you will have a great understanding, or your understanding will increase. At the end of every conclave and the messengers are both called to the stage, there is about five to ten minutes where messenger number one is called to give recognition to all those who served at conclave, performers, stage hands, M.C’s volunteers, and this goes on. I say to you this is not selfless service. Beloved hearts if you wish you can go through the more than three thousand discourses that I have given, we are closing in on 18 years and I can say to you in those 18 years not even 18 times have I given acknowledgement to my messengers, only once in a seldom while, and that is only when I felt that their service had reached a level, well as we say in the Ascended Master Realms, give credit where credit is due. Yet in almost 19 years I can assure you I have not acknowledged these messengers even 19 times because always there must be humility, do you understand?

 And you are approaching a place in your resurrection, only an Ascended Being can estimate how much of the duality is falling away, is the phoenix rising from the ashes of the human, and I say to you dear hearts we have seen so many students delay their passage into becoming their True Self between the 9th and 10th passage. As that’s coming up towards the end of the year, then I must dear hearts bring this to your attention, it is so important to be selfless, to not need someone to be constantly acknowledging your talents or your service. The Christ Being serves selfless. Do not acknowledge. The last thing that this outer self needs is to be inflated. Do you understand dear hearts?

 Now it would be appropriate from this time forth that at the end of conclave that my messengers indeed a general thank you, a general acknowledgement of gratitude, but the naming of people is not selfless my dear hearts. To thank all those who took to the stage, to thank all of the students who came out and to thank all the team and volunteers who worked so wonderfully and professionally and courteously to make sure a magnificent conclave took place for the students and for the Ascended Ones, do you understand? (Yes) So that’s just an example.

 Now I know that in certain areas of professional artistry that in the industry if there is a photographer who takes a magnificent picture that the name may go underneath the picture, or if an artist creates a music C.D. the name may go on the back, but that’s not what I’m speaking of. I’m speaking of a Christ-becoming Being, it is so important to watch yourself, “Is there a part of me that needs recognition and acknowledgement or can I be nameless and selfless because I do not wish to empower the little outer ‘I’” If anything I wish to empower, in fact what would be ideal if my messengers took to stage and I was them at the end of conclave, I Akasha would say, “I wish to express my deep gratitude to the I AM Presence of these beloved students, I wish to express my deep gratitude to the I AM Presence of all who took to the stage and served, I wish to express my deep gratitude to the I AM Presence of all the volunteers and workers who quietly served in such a professional and courteous way.” Do you sense what I’m saying? (Yes) So that’s important.

 It was important enough, I ask you precious hearts realize this; Jesus the Christ did not say anything that he did not need to say. Now many of his messages are missing because the Vatican has manipulated what shows up in the new Bible you understand, but he was an amazing teacher and he was on his followers constantly. Those who wished to put him up as a guru and to give him so much credit, do you understand?
