THE ZODIAC MESSAGES

"CHRIST, THE COMPANION OF ALL"

An address given by the Christ messenger 'Zodiac' (the 'unnamed scribe' in the Bible and a teacher in the Temple of Jerusalem at the time of Christ) at the Zodiac Circle on Sunday, 31st August, 1924.

1. ..."You may think that when I am not with you I have forgotten all about you. But I want you to know that I have adopted you - you did not adopt me - because you did not know that I existed. Right back in the early days of each one of you, I sought you and found you and I gathered you in. Just because the years passed by and you did not know of my existence does not mean that I did not know of yours. When you think of me, do not think that this is the first time that we have met in this way on the earth.

2. "Long before this state, you and I were friends and companions in a way that you little understand, because our friendship and companionship has the direct blessing of God upon it, and that makes all the difference in ties of this kind. All of you belong to me, under the Christ. I have been commissioned to watch over your lives, to direct them and to guide them - when you will allow it. Because of this, I am able to protect you and fend off the enemies again and again.

3. "It seems to you that the shadows have struck you without protection, and yet we continue to meet together and therein lies your answer. Shadows approach, they torture your minds, and because you do not strike them off they are able to stay, to linger, and make you suffer a lot. Yet their time is limited because God has given you into my charge, and I know that when sorrow binds you it is only for a short time. The clouds will break, and the sun of harmony, of understanding and sympathy, will shine upon your chilled hearts and minds, and winter will give place to spring.

4. "It seems that you are in a great big world - interests are varied, people preoccupied with their own affairs - and loneliness, that most terrible 'isolation' of the soul comes close and makes its presence felt in a way that at times can be terrifying.

5. "Even here I have a word of comfort. To you, the 'isolation of the soul' means the very essence within - the intimate, greater self - that you think only you know about. Yet I smile. How could your soul - the spiritual side of you - be isolated and left alone for one second, when the World of the Spirit is all around you? Those from the Bright Realms come - again and again - with power of love to succour you in your time of need. How could the real you be lonely in such an environment? It is only the physical mind that suffers because of its limitations of outlook and understanding. That suffering is added automatically to the bigger self within.

6. "But it is not God's Will that even the physical mind should bear this burden. The Christ came into the body so that He might understand the individual experience of each one. I underline this most definitely, that the Christ came into man's form so that He might understand the individual point of view of all, and this is true in every particular.

7. "There are those among you who are able to feel and to experience in a most definite way the thoughts and feelings of others. When those whom you love are in the clutches of any great experience you say: 'I knew it, because I felt it myself'. The love between you has made the connection that has allowed spirit to contact spirit, and soul to contact soul, and for that moment to be as one.

8. "In your world, the mediums, instruments of God - for indeed they should be of God if they are to remain intact from evil - have to a certain degree extricated themselves from the physical-material environment that surrounds the majority. They have emerged from the coarser into the finer vibrations of feeling, of sight and hearing. According to their development and the effort put into their labours, they are able to experience the feelings and emotions - and sometimes even the most intimate thoughts - of others.

9. "Therefore, it should not be hard for you going through these stages, to realise what the Christ went through during His earthly sojourn. He, so sensitive, so pure, so entirely Spirit because He has conquered the flesh, was never free from the burdens of others. Literally, the Christ came to earth not only to bear His own portion of struggle - so often called failure and death - but during those years of manhood He was like a magnet drawing out the thoughts and feelings of others. Being keyed to such fine vibrations it was impossible for Him to shut Himself away from the lives of those about Him. This applies to the multitude as well.

10. "When it is said that the Christ came to bear the burdens of the world, remember, that this burden was not only taken up at that time but has been going on ever since, and it began at the beginning of Creation. Had not God assumed the form of man, you would not understand that He feels all that you feel, all that you want to be and cannot rise to - and therein lies the greatest pain of all. You cannot love the Christ even in the smallest way without suffering thus.

11. "How many of you, each morning, vow that you will do better? Yet as night comes round again, you look back upon what to you seems failure of that greater, nobler self within. Even if the day seems like that to you - yet you go on, still wishing to imitate the Master - you shall find, hereafter, that you come closer to your desire than could be imagined in the here and now, however much I might assure.

12. "I have words of comfort for everyone. Life is not your enemy. You are never removed from the Christ. The troubles of the day and the pains of the body come in between you and the Light that shines from Him, but He does not move from you one inch. If you could see things as they really are, you would find that in front of you stands the Light of the World, the Christ, the Universal Saviour, and your loving Father. These names make no barrier between you, for He is also your Companion and Protector. Standing with the Light of the World shining upon you, you should be able to go forward in confidence.

13. "What happens when you droop your head so low is that all you see is the ground beneath your feet - and that is dark and ugly. If you could remember to raise your eyes, then the Light of His Presence would instantly shine upon your face and you would know, just as I have said, that to love God and do His Will ensures an illumined way and protection all around.

14. "Do not be disheartened if at times you find it too hard to raise your eyes to where the Christ stands. Remember that even though you lack strength, the Christ is there all the same, and nothing could be strong enough to separate Him from you. Always remember that. It may seem that the shadows separate you from the Master, but because darkness and Light have nothing in common, no evil force could ever separate God from you. He is your Father, and the Father does not desert His children in their hour of need. All around you is Light and hope and certainty.

15. "In order to reach happiness, the journey of the physical mind first has to extricate itself from its bonds. Like a prisoner in a dark dungeon, so is the physical mind before it hears the call to arise and go and meet its God. The smallest move in the heart in the way of effort, makes it possible for the prisoner to look up and there - through that prison window maybe - is a little light of that great big world without. The second step is hope, and then: how to get free?

16. "During the earth life there are few who are not prisoners, bound by the limitations and the exactions of the body. But hope is there, and Light, and man rises in a vain endeavour - so it seems to him - to reach that which is so desirable.

17. "You think that although you rise and peer at the Light, you can do little more, being bound by chains and fastened within a locked door. You say: 'The Light is there, but how can I reach it?' You think that between you and freedom is a thick, impenetrable obstacle of lack of faith, of circumstances and physical disabilities that you cannot break through. But with God all things are possible. Even as the disciple of old found, when he heard the voice of God, the prison doors were opened, and he walked free from all that bound him - and so it is with you. Once the desire comes to make that Light your own - to find those seemingly impenetrable walls no longer exist - you can step forward into that which of all things is the most glorious, both in your world and in the Spiritual Realm - knowing.

18. "There is no joy that is perfect if it holds one petal of doubt. It must be free from questionings and misgivings if it is to bring the happiness that it represents. So I say that the last stage is the most glorious indeed. You step out free from the world, from your heartaches, from doubts of the questioning mind, and into the light of understanding of the Love of God - then knowing - which means completeness and contentment that so fills your heart and mind that there is no room for those other half-joys to enter in. Knowing that God does not fail. What He has said needs no interpretation, it stands as it is: 'I am the Light of the World'. In so saying, He knew that death had far less evil in it than doubt and misgiving, and all these tortures that sting the physical mind again and again.

19. "Believe in God! Go through the Holy Bible, and you will see that what He has once given He never takes away. The Master Christ fulfils His Promise down to the tiniest detail. You will find it so from now on in a very comprehensive, wide-stretching way, that you will be amazed at the magnitude of Love that is laid out before you wondering eyes.

20. "There is a struggle of love against the shadows - and the Father triumphs in the end. By carrying on and doing the next thing, each one can work for God. When you are a soldier of the Christ it means that you are willing to take orders, to follow your Leader, not to argue with Him, or defy Him. When you pass into the Spirit Realm, you will truly find that you are soldiers and rejoice in that you laid aside your own will to work out to perfection the Plan of the Great One Who goes in front.

21. "I have not the power to take from you the experiences that your soul has taken on of its own accord. My power - given to me by the All-Loving - is to soothe, to heal the wounds, and to encourage, so that you may get over that which troubles you now and be free to expand and grow spiritually into the likeness of that which your soul intends to reach.

22. "My powers, coming from God, are unlimited, and because of this my responsibilities are unlimited likewise. Try harder to gather in this thought. Do not grieve over that which seems to have gone wrong or seems to have left you desolate. Face the position with firmness. Say to yourself: 'I have chosen this path and therefore I will get on with the journey as quickly as I can'. In the very act of doing and being, I can prove to you that my power is unlimited because as you strive, strength is given to you. As you emerge from the bonds of physical, the robes of immortality are thrown over you, and you are made one - in aim and in purpose - with us all who are fighting with the Christ to overthrow that which is destructive to happiness and to the fulfilment of the Promise that - in the end - we shall be one with Divinity Itself.

23. "God's blessing be on you all, and His Peace be gathered unto you and made your own, for Christ's sake. Amen."
