Jesus: I am the Light | Steve Beckow

(Golden Age of Gaia)

Did Jesus ever claim to be the only way to God?

He said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Was he referring to Jesus the man or the Light that is God?

On An Hour with an Angel, I had the inestimable privilege of speaking to him and asking him.

Is he – Jesus – the Christ or is the Light that he embodied the Christ? He answers. But his answer opens up vastly more vistas than I anticipated from the question. Get ready to be challenged.

Steve Beckow: I have a question. Jan Ruusbroec in the Middle Ages once described the Christ, and he said this:

“In this darkness an incomprehensible Light is born and shines forth; this is the Son of God in whom a person becomes able to see and contemplate eternal life.”

“It is Christ, the Light of truth, who says, ‘See,’ and it is through him that we are able to see, for he is the Light of the Father, without which there is no light in heaven or on earth.” (1)

Is that Light indeed the Christ in its essential form?

Jesus: It is the Christed Light. Yes, you are correct. In its fullest form.

SB: It’d be such an important thing for me if you could discuss your relationship to that Light. Were you embodying it in the fullest manner? Was that your role or mission? Or what was your relationship to the Christ?

J: That has always been the fullness of my mission, in whatever form I have taken. I am the Light that burst forth. I am the Light that came from the heart of One, from the heart of God. And my purpose in all this relationship was to simply ignite not only what has been referred to as Heaven and Earth, but far beyond.

If you look to my essence, dear friend, all you will see is Light. That is all there is. And it can assume relationship, and, after relationship, it can assume various forms. The Light was beyond the Christ Light. Can you think of it as a tiering? It was an implosion, explosion of Light, and it has never changed. And it will never change.

SB: And when you say, “I am the Light,” who is “I am”? Are you speaking as Jesus, or are you speaking as the Christ, as the Light?

J: No, I am speaking as the Light. The Light that then transfers into the Christ Light, that then transfers into the being that you, sitting here this night, call Jesus. But you were asking about my essence.

SB: I am. Is that Light that became the Christ, is that the Father?

J: Think of it as a replication of the Father. It did not take away from the Source. It just expanded it. It is part of the infinite extension of creation. It is not born the way you think. It is just an explosion of Light, that is.

SB: And that is not the Holy Spirit you’re describing?

J: That is the feminine. And when that also explodes, it becomes the Light. And I am that blend.

The Arcturian Group as well discussed the question of who Jesus was referring to when he said “I am the way.”

“The Arcturian Group Message via Marilyn Raffaele: October 13, 2013” at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2013/10/the-arcturian-group-message-via-marilyn-raffaele-october-13-2013/.

‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light.’ – words not spoken simply by and for the master Jesus, but words spoken by him in order to explain to those listening that ‘I’ is not a personal ‘I,’ but ‘I’ is the Divine – the one and only ‘I’ – your true identity. Since the Divine is all there is, it must also your real Self – how else could you exist?

’I’ is the name of the Divine and the words ‘I AM”’do not refer to one human being, but to the true essence of every being. ‘I’ is a sacred word. Throughout time and even now, there are those who through gross ignorance and ego, have misinterpreted this truth to mean that they in their humanhood were God.

In this false sense of self they always proceed to set up rules and teachings for others with dire consequences if not obeyed. Their spiritually ignorant followers more often than not do experience dire consequences of some sort, for in their choice to follow these false prophets they willingly give away their power.
