Hi everyone, and welcome to this episode of The Secret Teachings of Jesus Christ.
And you know, as you know, he is the reason for the
season. It's Christmas season, and this is the last podcast that we're going
to do before Christmas, So the next time you'll be hearing from me will
be after Christmas. And I'm not going to do a whole new program.
I've just done a I've just done a recording. Or actually, no,
it wasn't a recording. It was. I mean, it's it is recorded,
but it's actually it was a live broadcast on the Bread of Life programs.
So I'm not going to do another whole hour here. I'm just going
to use that because it's really for the season. It's my Christmas, my
Christmas broadcast for the year, and I just love you. If you've already
listened to Water into Wine, which we do on the Bread of Life program,
then you know you don't really need to listen to this again because I'm
repeating that program. So I'm just putting this little intro for my Secret teaching
guys. Oh, which reminds me. We got a letter last week from
Dale. Hi. Dale, I'm really glad that you listen to the program
and not getting so much out of it. It's true, it's the word
of God. You know that God is in everything you see. The only
reason that we get together is of course to remember God. And you know
what a better time than Christmas time to remember that. Christmas is all about
you. Really, Christmas is about the birth of Christ in you. It's
really your own rebirth, so to speak. It's your real wakening. You
know, as Jesus says in the Course of Miracles, the journey to God
is me the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always and what you
are forever. It's a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed.
Right here, right now, what we really are tasked with doing is
experiencing God, experiencing our own Christhood, knowing that that birth, that rebirth
is occurring in us. Christmas is the sign of peace. It's the sign
that the light has come. But you are the light of the world,
and so we seize the opportunity of Christmas to remember to be the light and
to experience everything that goes with it, which is of course far beyond anything
that words can ever describe. So I read a couple of lessons, I
read a couple of prayers and and I just really want to share this moment
with you. I'm being to share that again. So Dale, you were
asking about me, my name is Jubi. You can always write to me
directly. You can write to me at Jubi at acimi dot com, jub
at acimi dot com. And of course I played the beautiful music of Mitch
and I will playing you. I mean, get ready for a treat because
most of the carols that we're going to be playing are carols that Mitch and
John put together for me last year. I just said to Mitch, Mitch,
please sing me some carols that I can use for my program on the
radio, and he did. So we're going to use this carols again this
year. And oh my God, just pure love, pure beauty. See,
Mitch is really he's not just reciting Christmas carols. He is singing the
truth to you, and it's the truth of his own experience. He's singing
from his own experience, from my experience, from your experience, of our
shared Christhood, of our sonship of God, of the fatherhood of God.
Here and now, so without further ado, I'm just going to go to
the podcast I did earlier today. I love you with all my heart and
have the most extraordinary Christmas. Thank you for joining me in this moment.
Thank you for remembering with me today. It's the winter Solstice, isn't it.
It's just it's the perfect day. I love you, and Merry Christmas.
God bless us everyone. So here we go. Hi, good afternoon,
and welcome to this episode of Water into Wine. So without further ado,
we're of course getting to start with a piece of music that's you know,
tells you what the theme is in case you haven't guessed. So here
we go. So deck the halls. It's Christmas time. This is going
to be our last podcast of this particular program before Christmas. We will of
course continue after Christmas, because as you know, Christmas is this week.
Christmas is on Friday, and we do our podcasts on Monday, so the
next time I see you it will be after Christmas. So all we're going
to do today is celebrate Christmas. We're just really going to take this whole
week and celebrate, but truly celebrate, feel the joy the peace that is
Christmas within us, because Christmas is something that happens to you personally, that
has happened to you personally, individually within your own mind. For Christ is
born, it is your birth, your own rebirth, if you like,
into your own Christhood. We recognize in this moment Christmas is nothing more than
recognizing the fatherhood of God, our sonship of God. Isn't that extraordinary?
And so all we're going to focus on today is that experience of joy of
peace within our own hearts and really feel it radiate through the entire universe because
we really are the light of the world. So here we go. For

Handel's Messiah, and that I believe is actually quoted from Isaiah. And thank
you so much David Clifton and the choirs of Peterborough Cathedral. I just my
heart, my gratitude goes out to all these guys who make beautiful music and
put the music in the public domain so that we can all enjoy it without
fear. Interestingly enough, I was looking for Joy to the world, a
free version of it that we could play, and it's very very hard to
come by. Well, let me put it this way. I wasn't able
to find. I found an electronic version, which was a little too electronic
for the occasion. It sounded like somebody had done it with a cheese grater
or something. I mean, you know, kudos to them for making music.
I completely appreciate the effort, but it just wasn't quite right for our
little podcast here anyway. So it's Christmas time. This is the season that
we all wait for. The whole entire year really kind of culminates in this
one enormous celebration, this festival of lights, this extraordinary event in the history
of mankind, the coming the advent of the Christ, the remembering within the
individual mind of my sonship of God, my remembrance that God is my father,
the glory of that event, the coming of the light, the recognition
of the light, my seeing of the light, my knowing the light.
This is what Christmas is. So we're going to start with a prayer.
There isn't going to be a huge amount of talking because I want to play
you all the Christmas carols. Since this is my last class before Christmas,
I'm going to just spend all out there. I'm going to give you all
the songs. Mitch, of course sang a few songs, a few Christmas
carols for us. I used them last year when I did that little recording.
The Time of Perfect piece, which is available on Spreaker, kind of
starts from the from Christmas Eve through New Year's Eve, and it's just an
eight day period of just prayers. I believe I might have played one of
them, or you know, played one of them last week. I think
I did, probably not for this, oh now I remember of the disaster
of last week's recording. I did this extraordinary, extraordinary class. It's extraordinary
because you know, it's always just the episode of remembering our true nature,
remembering the love of God and remembering the light. And it was really quite
extraordinary. Everything I said did not make it onto the podcast because Hewlett Packard
decided to update the microphone software on this Peter. I have no idea why
that they made everything go away. And it was only after the class that
Microsoft Windows told me that, you know, HP had done something and that
my microphone wasn't working and it needed to be reset. So it got reset.
Unfortunately it was too late, because you know, this is a live
broadcast. I'm doing this right on the Spreaker live broadcast console on spreaker dot
com. So what doesn't make it doesn't make it. You know, there
isn't a do over. This is what I love about this. It's just
it's now or never, and there is only now So anyway, without further
ado, I'm just going to get back into the mood of this class.
Let's start with a prayer, one of my favorite prayers in the Course of
Miracles, and the one that is perfect, you know, for this for
the season, you know, for the season of peace and goodwill to all
men, the season of joy. So here we go with this prayer,
and it is of course lessen to twenty one of the workbook of a Course
in Miracles, which interestingly enough comes before lessen to twenty two, which we
sing a lot. God is with me, I live moving him. So
this is a prayer that comes just before that one, and it's peace to
my mind. Let all my thoughts be still. Father, I come to
you today to seek the peace that you alone can give. I come in
silence, in the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind.
I wait and listen for your voice, My Father, speak to me
today. I come to hear your voice in silence and uncertainty and love.
Sure you will hear my call and answer me. Now do we wait in
quiet? God is here. Because we wait together, I am sure that
He will speak to you and you will hear. Accept my confidence for it
is yours our minds are joined. We wait with one intent to hear our
father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find his
peace, to hear him speak to us of what we are, and to
reveal himself unto his son. Wow, said the night wind to the little
land, Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky,
little land, Do you see what I see? A storm? A star
dancing in the night with a table less big as a ki, with a
tail as big as a kind sid a little lamb. To the shepherd boy,
do you hear one ringing through the sky? Shepherd boy? Do you
hear what a song? A song high above the tree with a voice,
a as big as the sea, with a voice says big as the sea,
said the shepherd boy to the mighty King, do you know what I
know? In your palace? Warm? Mighty King? Do you know what
I know? The child? The child shippers in the cold. Let us
bring him silver and gold. Let us bring him silver and gold, said
the King to the people everywhere. Listen to what I say. Pray for
peace, people everywhere, listen to what I say. The child, the
child sleeping in the night, He will bring us goodness and light. He
will bring us goodness and lone. Thank you, Mitch, thank you so
much. That was Mitch and John, everyone, I love you so much.
Thank you. In this season Christmas, which celebrates the birth of holiness
into this world, join with me, who decided for holiness for you.
It is our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host whom
God appointed for himself. It is beyond all littleness to give the gift of
God, but not beyond you, for God would give himself through you.
He reaches from you to everyone, and beyond everyone, to his son's creations,
without leaving you, far beyond your little world, but still in you.
He extends forever. Yet he brings all his extensions to you as host
to him. This is Christmas, dear one. This is how you must
begin to experience yourself now. This is the reason for the season, for
you to recognize your own Christhood. Angels, we have heard on high.
Here's mitching John again. Angels, we have heard on high sweetly singing all
the plains and the mountains reply calling the joy strange Aria inn excelsius dayo claw
oia Innaxcelsius, day o, shepherds, Why this Tubli, Why your joy
strains prolong? What the gladson tidings be which inspire your hevenly song? Clowia,
innax Clsius dayo, Hello, Excelsius, Gloria in exjealsice Dale. See
I say it like a Catholic, I say, exjalsis, this is how
we learned it. I love that she says, Excelsius with that very soft
sea thank you. That was just beautiful. So let's continue here. I
mean, this is chapter fifteen of the text of A Course and Miracles.
This is everything you need to know and experience in this moment. This is
what Christmas is. It's your recognition, it's your experience of the divine light
of God in you. The Holy Christ is born in you. You are
the Christ. So here we go, Holy child of God. When will
you learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace? Remember that
you learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is
because I learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but
teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby littleness
that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the glad awareness of
the glory that is in Him. My birth in you is your awakening to
grandeur. Welcome me not in a manger, but into the altar to holiness
where holiness abides in perfect peace. My kingdom is not of this world,
because it is in you, and you are of your Father. Let us
join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond littleness. Wow. Come,

Christ is born in me today. Watch with me, Angels, watch with
me today. Let all God's holy thoughts surround me and be still with me
while Heaven's son is born. Wow. Let earthly sounds be quiet, and
the sights to which I am accustomed to disappear. Let Christ be welcomed where
he is at home, and let him hear the sounds he understands and see
but sights that show his father love. Let him no longer be a stranger
here, for he is born again in me today. Your son is welcome.
Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I made.
He is the self that you have given me. He is but what
I really am. In truth, He is the son you love above all
things. He is myself as you created me. It is not Christ that
can be crucified, safe in your arms. Let me receive your son.

Christ's vision would I use today? When it can offer me a day in
which I see a world so like to heaven that an ancient memory returns to
me. Today, I can forget the world I made. Today, I
can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and peace.
Today I am redeemed and born anew into a world of money and of care,
of loving kindness and the peace of God. And so our Father,
we return to you, remembering we never went away, remembering your holy gifts
to us in gratitude and thankfulness. We come with empty hands and open hearts
and minds, asking, but what you give. We cannot make an offering
sufficient for your son. But in your love the gift of Christ is his

all of you. Thank you. This instant is the only time there is.
I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim.
If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my
perception of what time is. For time's purpose cannot be to keep the past
and future one The only interval in which I can be saved from time is
now, for in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The
birth of Christ is now without a past or future. He has come to
give his present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love,
and love is ever present here and now. Wow. Thanks for this instant,
Father, It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time
you have appointed for your son's release and for the salvation of the world in
him. Wow mm hmmm. Oh come, oh ye faithful, joyful,

Father, would I spend you as you have chosen all my days should be.
And what I will experience is not of time at all. The joy
that comes to me is not of days nor hours, for it comes from
heaven to your sun. This day will be your sweet reminder to remember you,
your gracious calling to your holy son, the sign your grace has come
to me, and that it is your will I be set free to day.
We spend this day together, you and I and all the world joins
with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to him who gave salvation to
us and who set us free. We are restored to peace and holiness.
There is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed love
into our hearts. Away a manger, no crib for a bend. The
Little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked
down where he lay, the Little Lord Jesus. The sleep warm the head,
the cartal lord loring the baby owas but live to Lord Jesus, no
cry he makes I love the Lord Jesus look down from the sky and stay
by my cradle till morning. Is n me me me, Lord Jesus.
I ask THEE to stay close by me forever and love me. I prayless
all the dear your children, imber, care and feed us for heven to
live with leaving. There is no end to all the peace and joy and
all the miracles that I will give when I accept God's word? Why not
today? Why not now? Why should I wait, my father for the
joy you promised me? For you will keep your word you gave your son
in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need
but reach out my hand to find it. Even now my fingers touch it.
It is very close. I need not wait an instant more to be
at peace forever. It is you I choose, and my identity along with
you. Your son would be himself and know you as his father and his
creator and his love. Thank you, Father, I love you with all
my heart. Succeed It's so, it's see see Stasi pas au say us
now say it so a se as. It's full of the song. It
says all the things and asking ass souss a goal it's all the time he
saw see. I am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining
in the reflection of His love. In me is his creation sanctified and guaranteed.
Eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy
established without opposite. I am the holy home of God himself. I am
the heaven where his love resides. I am his holy sinlessness itself. For
in my purity abides his own. That is true. That is you.
That's the truth about you. That is your identity. That is the experience
of Christmas, that realization, that remembrance deep within your own heart and mind.
You know that unequivocally you are the Holy Son of God himself. Our
useful words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one
year we gave to God. Together you and I we found the single purpose
that we shared, and thus you joined with me. So what I am
are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for words
to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here and words
can speak of this and teach it too. If we exemplify the words in
us we are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of
the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed, and this our gift
is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brother and perceive all things
as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past
the gate of heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part.
We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth. Ours are the eyes
through which Christ's vision sees a world read deemed from every thought of sin.
Ours are the ears that hear the voice for God proclaim the world as sinless.
Ours the mind that joined together as we bless the world, and from
the oneness that we have attained. We call to all our brothers, asking
them to share our peace and consummate our joy. We are the holy messengers
of God, who speak for him and carrying his word to everyone whom He
has sent to us. We learn that it is written on our hearts,
and thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came and which
we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of God,
who thought he suffered, now is he redeemed, and as he sees the
gates of heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into
the heart of God. Wow. And on that note, my dearest brother,
my love, my friend, my savior, my oneself, we will
bring this podcast to a close, and we will close with the song with
which we opened, Deck the Halls. But now we are going to have
Mitch and John sing and play it for us. Here we go, deck

It's now, it's you, it is your rebirth, it is your remembering
that you are the holy son of God himself. It is your remembrance of
the Father. It is this moment of love, of peace, of joy
that pass of all understanding. I thank you, my dearest brother. I
love you with all my heart. Thank you Father, Thank you God bless
us each and everyone. I love you and I will see you everywhere.
