ace.” “Will you still help us then?” “I, Jesus and others, will always be with you to help, if you call upon us. Just believe that we’re with you, and there we are. No need for meaningless sacrifices and rituals. <strong>You</strong> have direct access to the Chief, direct access to any of us. Only believe and know that this is so.” Confucius came over and joined in the conversation. “Listen, John,” he said. “We’ve all been trying to say the same thing for ages. The Buddha’s message was love. Jesus exemplified this best. He taught about love. Love your God. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Remember the Golden Rule? Love is the most powerful force in the universe. The whole thing is very simple. People must learn that they are all shipmates on the common voyage of life and that they cannot sink their shipmates without sinking themselves. Ask Gandhi over there and he’ll tell you. <strong>You</strong> must love without expecting anything in return. Ask God. He loves us exactly as we are. <strong>You</strong> should try love sometimes. Work on love, John. Don’t try to teach people how to love. Just show them by example.” God walked over to us while tea was being served. Beside Him was a tall, remarkable looking fellow. “John,” God said, “I want you to meet Lord Michael. <strong>You</strong> and your legends know him as the archangel, Michael. Don’t be surprised that he hasn’t any wings. He only uses wings when there’s a need for such appearances.” I bowed with reverence and thought to myself that it wasn’t possible for God, His angels and others to be speaking with me. How could this be? I, a relatively insignificant human being, talking with God? Immediately God answered my unspoken question. “I speak to all,” He said, “And I speak through all. Do you see 124
Peter over there? They used to call him Simon. I spoke to him and, through him, I spoke to many others. He was just a common fisherman, you say? But what a fisherman! <strong>When</strong> he became aware of my presence through the teachings of Jesus, he spoke in thunder tones of truth. How about Paul? At one time they called him Saul of Tarsus. He was formally educated, having studied under Gamaliel at the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. Gautama was a prince in India. Even Mary of Magdala heard and understood me. “Look at Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. See how quietly he sits? A simple lawyer, you say he was? A lawyer, yes, but much more aware of universal laws than petty, man-made laws. Laws were made for people, not people for laws. He spoke of non-violence and love and millions of people listened to him. And Jesus? He was born the son of a carpenter and, yet, hundreds of millions of you believe in him. I wish more of you would believe in what he said. I speak to you and I speak through you. We speak for each other. “Speak the truth wherever you may find it. Seek the truth wherever it is to be found. Don’t confuse facts with truth. Facts may not even be facts at all. Most times, they’re just opinions. Facts are relative. Truth is absolute. Instead of trying to force your facts on others, help them to find truth for themselves. “<strong>You</strong>’re all brothers and sisters on a common journey toward your true potential. <strong>You</strong> have the power of God with you. <strong>You</strong>’ve always had it. <strong>You</strong>’re as free as you ever will be. If your experience seems to be lacking in this freedom, it’s only because you have been fettered in chains of your own forging. Lift up your head and look. See with your true eyes and you’ll never again be in bondage to yourself or to another. 125
