Buried Treasure

It came to mind that there are those whose eyes will roll in their heads upon hearing the name, Christ. There can be a couple of reasons for this:

1. they belong to a race or religion that has a direct issue with The Christ.

2. they were born into a "christian" faith and turned away in disgust (in many cases, understandably so) when their souls could not obtain the Truth they were seeking.

3. they've chosen to stand on God's finger while defiantly shaking their tiny fist and shouting, "there is no God!!".

This writer was once in category #2. Let's just say that it was difficult to accept the fairy-tale that was being presented as truth. Deep inside, there was the knowledge that something was missing, something very important.

So, you wander in the wilderness. You stumble, you fall, you fail, until the Light within is nearly extinguished. Then one day, something happens that jars you awake. It could be anything, a death, a tragedy, a loss, a revelation...but you realize that, more than ever, you need to resume your quest for the Truth.

You search, you seek. You search amongst man's records compiled by theologians, scientists, astronomers, philosophers, historians and archaeologists. You try to make sense of their assertions, you try to dig through the symbolism and the things left unsaid. Finally, you realize that you've just been going in circles, you've been given the run-around. This is known as horizontal seeking, as such seeking always leads one back to where they began. There are Great Secrets, there are mighty Truths, but man does not have them to share. In fact, it is men, in service of the dark ruler, the prince of this world, who have purposely buried these Treasures in the hope that we will never find them.

In frustration and dejection, you form a silent prayer. What is it? What is being missed? Please help me find the Truth! You may not even be aware of making this plea. But you will have made it, simply by reason of your fruitless, but diligent and relentless seeking.

It is written that one should seek until one finds, knock and the door shall be opened. These are not idle words...it is a divine promise. Truth awaits us. If we do our part to find it, it will find us. Truth is a beautiful jewel with many facets. Each facet may have its own particular glitter, yet will carry the same vibration of the Whole. So, to say that there is One Truth is both true and false. It may present itself to us in different ways, but it will always carry the same powerful vibration.

Christ Consciousness, the Second Aspect of The All, is a fact. Because one is not aware of, or doesn't accept a fact does not detract one iota from the factuality of that fact (yes, i just wrote that *smile*). To know of this Consciousness and the ability of each one of us to manifest that Consciousness is the biggest breakthrough a seeking human being can make. When one can accept that concept, when one comes to believe this with their entire heart in the absence of man's "proof", that one is on his or her way to vertical seeking. The kind of seeking that leads to Freedom, as the jewel of Truth unfolds, one facet after another.

It is disheartening that so many are put off by mention of the Christ. If they had true understanding of what The Christ represents, they would realize that they have finally arrived at the Doorstep of Truth, key in hand. To allow mankind's bastardized characterization of Christ to discourage us from seeking our destiny is to fall into the carefully prepared trap that awaits all those who choose to try and rationalize something that cannot be rationalized. Some things can only be known in the heart.

Don't think. Feel.
