The heart of the matter

Buddha: Let’s get to the heart of the matter. Only love is real. You are created by it, created from it and prosper by harnessing it and love is your central driving force. When you understand this the problems you face, as well as the problems of the world, will fade a way.

I love you. You love me too. You might just not know it yet…

A Fine Way To Live: Buddha with Zoe

A fine way to live

Conversations with Zoe and Buddha: A Fine Way to Live

Buddha: We’ve spoken before about right use of mind.

Your mind directs your being. Towards what? Towards whatever it is concerned or focused upon. There may be no method in this. In life, behaving this way would be considered folly. A life of perpetual meandering. Now some people do behave this way. This is considered to be an undesirable or even mentally ill state of being. Unless you wish life to give you more meandering like experiences, focus yourself. Start with your mind: what do you wish to achieve? How will you achieve? Then be. And as you be, act upon your plan. This is a fine way to live in this, your world.

Money- Does It Matter? Buddha with Zoe

Does money matter?

Conversations with Zoe and Buddha: Does Money Matter?

Buddha: Today I wish to speak to about wealth and whether it matters. This is a subject that many of you fight with yourself about. By wealth I am going to focus on money: the mechanism that you have for acquiring large amounts of things and experiences.

The world was made abundantly. There was always more for you than you could ever utilize or use. It was made with great love and given to you with great joy. More than you could ever utilize: a land of milk of honey. But where you have gone wrong is in thinking that more of it was meant for you than was designed for another.

Over the ages man has ensnared man even to the point of physical entrapment . Further more many have sold what they felt was their right to sell: the physical body of another. This is fundamentally against the principle upon which this reality, this earth, was created.

It is possible to go back to having enough for all but a culture shift will need to happen that is so vast you could call it cataclysmic. This will be started by a shift in consciousness. Many of you feel this. Your institutions feel this and their answer is to try and shore their institutions and themselves up in more wealth as if that means the cataclysm can’t and wont affect them.

Many of you are currently suffering feeling you do not have enough. If you feel this is you, please take the time to look around and you and see if this is true- do you really not have enough? Enough of what? Food? Look in your kitchen. Money? Look in your bank. And with this one also look at your spend. Many of you claim to not have enough but actually have more than you could ever maintain physically by yourself: your home, your cars, your electrical goods and so forth. This is indeed a time of change and in these times you are asked to look within and find your own personal answers to how much is enough for you. Once you have enough, cycle your excess: this was, and is, the basis of charity and community.

It is entirely possible that the cycle of money you circle in this life may come back to you when you may need it for yourself. Lonely is the person who shores themselves with big bank accounts and excesses of living whilst others are in pain. This is how it is. This is how it always has been. This is how it always will be. This is because you are part of each other. To shore yourself against another defies your nature, so your nature will suffer. To sell another for personal gain without thought and feeling for their well-being is another example. It defies your nature and so your nature must suffer.

I say end this suffering: discover your enough and circulate your excess. All is well with your world.

Mind- A Game: Buddha with Zoe

Mind- a game, Cove
Mind- a game

Conversations with Zoe and Buddha: Mind- A Game

Buddha: Let us start how we must begin. A mind is a mind. A tooth is a tooth, A television a television. But are they not also of mind? Who named them? Created them? Can you visualize them? Experience them? Only through your mind.

So, where do I say you should all start? By questioning everything you think you know. You think you know. You think you know nothing. You know… You know…

Well I say to you- Ha! There is nothing to know. There is everything to know. But all of it- ALL OF IT- is a play on words, worlds, concepts, realities. Each of you go as far as your mind will let you. Know this.

We can go further next time.

Times of Suffering: Jesus with Zoe

Times of suffering

Conversations with Zoe and Jesus: Times of Suffering

Jesus: There will be times when you feel you cannot cope; you cannot find the strength to carry on. Perhaps a loved one will pass, a fortune lost or a child has suffered and died. Even in these times turn to us. It is not your destiny to suffer although during your life much suffering will occur. Turn to us and we will lift you; lift you from the pain and misery that can set in after a tragedy. Pain will and must be felt but life goes on and so too must you. Choosing to suffer does not help anyone and certainly does not serve the world, nor me.

We are with you, always.

Heed The Murmurings: Jesus with Zoe

Heed the Murmurings,  https://conversationswithjesusandbuddha.com/heed-the-murmu…jesus-with-zoe/ ‎
Heed the Murmourings

Conversation with Jesus and Zoe: Heed The Murmurings

Jesus: So you think you can do this on your own, this life? This existence? 

You can’t.  You are all interconnected and interwoven, dependant of the well being of all, all than the one.  All of you at the day of reckoning will be held accountable to Us for your ignorance, misdemeanours and misnomers towards others.

Each of you must learn to turn the other cheek, help the stranger, love your neighbour before the ascent of your race is possible.  This is why highly evolved beings return to earth – to ease the suffering.  Thinking of the All not just the One.  The suffering tide is coming.  It will come in TV shows and books, churches, synagogues, mosques, earthquakes and hurricanes and it will ask each of you to look within and find the humanity, the strength, the willingness to help those who are weaker, more vulnerable and less able than yourselves.

For those of you who worship at the bank and in “goods” this will be shaken or taken away and a New world order, a New earth will emerge and fill the cracks, the voids in the old ones.

The prophets are in place.  The time is now.  Those that feel the move will move with it.

For those that ignore and refuse the inner murmurings (it’s in you All) there will be consequences.

Hail the new order has come and with it a new beginning, a new possibility a New Way of Being for you All.

Heed the murmurings, awake to the realities of your life and your consequential affect on the lives of others and you will hardly notice the change take place.

Resist and on your head be it.

Enough: Jesus with Zoe

Enough

Conversation with Jesus and Zoe: Enough

Jesus: On the eve of the day of reckoning few will be able to sleep.  There will be an unease, a malaise, across the world.  Events will have come and gone and many will be awakening to the changes we have put in place.

Economic viability now will be the bed rock for the individual.  Teach yourself now how to care for yourself materially.  Strip the excess now and many years of financial pain will be spared.  

Learn to honour and respect what you have now and God’s grace will be yours.  The yearnings, the desires for what others show, deliberately instilling desire, consumerism and envy is coming to an end.

Turn in now and let the peace come over.  In truth there is nothing to have or know but yourself.  In yourself you will find us.  You will find love, hope, peace and charitable intent.  As the turn inwards begins, do not be tempted back to the world of man’s greed where no form is enough – more shoes, clothes, bags, money, bigger, better, stripping the earth, killing the cows and deafening the sound of your inner reason.

You have enough.  Free yourself from the greed, the pain of wanting and fill yourself with us.  The truth of this shall set you free.

May God’s grace be with you.

Love.

Build A Better World: Jesus with Zoe

Build a better world

Conversations with Jesus and Zoe: Build A Better World 

Jesus: You walk through the lives of many each and every one of you.  Ask yourself what do you leave behind?  Promise, faith, hope, smiles?  Anger, resentment, fear, alienation, isolation?  Make sure you are aware of the impact.  Think of the child responding to the mood of the adult.  What do you wish your legacy to be?  With each step, each glance, each phone call, each hug you interact with another.  Even in thoughts.  Nothing is invisible.  If you could see your “effect” or residue as tangibly as a badge of emotion on another- and you knew that they could also see the badge that your impact had- would you change?

Let’s build a better world.  It only takes you.  Together we will succeed.

Love.

Alleviate Suffering: Jesus with Zoe

Alleviate suffering

Conversation with Jesus and Zoe: Alleviate Suffering

 

JesusThe suffering of many can be greatly alleviated by the few.  Ensure the people you place in power represent your desires in relieving the pain of many, either by direct action, lobbying or simply standing up and speaking.  The time to take a stand for what is important is now.  For those of you without a voice, without faith and hope of relief, understand that your time will come.  Your suffering does not go unnoticed and you are never unloved.

For those of you with voice, with means or capability, take a stand for your fellow men.  Your fate is their fate.  Consider that at the day of reckoning your individual lives may be measured against the fate of your peoples as a whole.  I say this not to instill fear or guilt but to simply provide you with an opportunity to refocus, make choices and serve the whole rather than the self in isolation of the world around you.

Do what you can with peace, faith and hope as your bastions.  My work is through you workings.

With love.

Work: Jesus with Zoe

Working

Conversations with Jesus and Zoe: Work

Jesus: It is often asked of me why do I need to do this work?  Why can’t it be easy?  Better?  Different!

Work provides a focus for time.  It provides challenges, thrills, highs and lows.  It means productivity and ultimately civilisation as you understand it.

If everyone let go of work your worlds would become chaos.  Without focus, discipline and effort humans do not aspire to greatness.

So work is a way of striving for something better, brighter and bigger than you have.

This does not mean that I condone workaholism or results based efforts.  No.  I merely bring understanding on the importance of focus, effort, discipline.  So why not work?

More importantly learn to love your work.  Try this for one week – consciously engaging and positively expecting good things to happen.  Focus, effort and discipline can lift you to higher and greater things so do not dampen these talents with negative thinking towards your boss, job or colleagues.

Once you are striving for greater states it will become easier to meet me.  And this ultimately is my work for you.

With love.
