Jesus' Message to Connect with My Heart                         

(Dumari's Journal Entry, Date:  9/6/04)

 Today, I went running.  I was feeling kind of low, so I asked Jesus to come with me... and he did!  I could see him (in my mind's eye) running next to me.  At first, he had his robe on and it was so funny watching him run with his robe, so I asked him to change his clothes. He put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt! (heehee) Then I started joking with him... I said, "My friend, Swati would laugh so hard if she saw us right now!"  Then, I noticed his hair bouncing as he was running. (Swati loves Jesus' hair, could it have been my mind associating Swati with his hair?)  So, the next thing I see is him with a ponytail!!! HAHAHA! Then, as I slowed down and walked, we held hands. I almost cried with the feeling of love.  My hand felt so thick, as if it were asleep.

I told him that I needed a vacation.  My spirit wanted a break from the concerns of the physical world.  I asked him if he ever took vacations.  He said "yes"!  He said that his vacations were when he meditated.  That his spirit communed with God and filled itself with God's light. That meditating helped him get centered again on what is Real in the Illusionary world. When his spirit was full (from meditating), he knew he didn't need anything else.  He was recharged with Pure Light.

I asked him to guide me on a vacation/meditation at the end of my walk.  When I was ready, he spoke to me and  said, "Close your eyes and focus your attention within your heart.  See God's Light within your heart shining BRIGHTLY.  God is Love.  God is Perfection.  God is Compassion.  God is Wisdom/All Knowing.  This is your Light within.  This is who you really are.  As you see and feel this Light in your center, let it expand within your body, like ripples.  See and feel every cell of your body drinking this Light.  Your whole body is quenching it's thirst for Love/Light.  Allow your spirit to drink God's Pure Essence until it is FULL.  When your body and spirit are full of God's Light, you realize that in Truth this is ALL you need.  What is Real in this Illusionary world becomes clear... and you know that all your needs (physical and spiritual) are met because you know that God (the All) is within you.  This knowing allows the Universe to provide for your needs moment by moment.  It's in the Knowing; it's in the Faith.

"Now that you see yourself as God's Light, know that all your brothers and sisters are God's Light too.  By seeing it in yourself, it'll be easier to see it in others.  This is your most important lightwork... to see God's Light within yourself and God's Light in others.  This is the most powerful work you can "do."  So see, you don't really need to "do" much, the most important task is to "Be" who you are in Truth and see others as they really are within.  This is what being a "light-worker" is all about.  The rest (of your light-work) will be taken care of; it will flow as you intend to spread your inner Light."

After experiencing this meditation, I was feeling so connected to everything.  It helped me connect with God within me and all around me.  I felt so loved!  It was Beautiful!  Thank you Jesus!
