Letters from the Apostles: Saint Andrew
Beloved,
I Am Andrew, Saint and Ascended Master, guide and teacher to mankind and friend to all who seek the truth and light. It is my great pleasure to begin this year-long discourse of letters to you all and introduce the nature of that which we intend to achieve, the messages that we hope to deliver and that part of the Divine plan that we have been entrusted with unfolding. To begin with then let me introduce myself better and in so doing begin to unfold the reason for our presence in the past and in the now, as well as the relevance of our messages for the future.
A long time ago we, the Apostles, were human as you are now. We lived simple lives unaware of our true nature or the powerful destinies that awaited us. Unaware of the paths that we would pursue and those serendipitous events that would pull us onto these journeys. Of course our Master knew, the Master Jesus, for these things had been revealed to him and he was waiting, patiently as he ever did, to find us and awaken us and reveal to us his choice. To reveal to us that we would be chosen to take his teachings out into the world and continue his work long after his ascension, long after his death. To reveal to us that the labour of sowing the seeds of truth that he had been entrusted to return to the world, would fall upon our shoulders ensuring that these things would not be forgotten but rather safely kept for those who follow us, our inheritors, you.
We were in a sense the original light-workers of our time and in many ways you echo us now...
The Master Jesus had been shown that each of we twelve carried a mighty and yet hidden power, an ancient inheritance that had been carefully preserved within our blood and bone, within our DNA. A memory and power, a pure-bred genetic form that hailed from ancient times then long forgotten. From fair Atlantis, that drowned land and the twelve root races that once walked its fair lands. This sleeping treasure he was to awaken and making us aware of it ensure that we would not waste it but use it well and preserve it well so that it might again in the future, in your now, resurface and play its part in resurrecting the vibration of fair Atlantis and recreate the perfect template for mankind that would be needed to eventually lead them home to God. The Master Jesus had been shown that out of all those who would follow him as disciples we and only we would have the fabric and consciousness necessary at that time to carry forth the light of the Christ after his demise and sustain that which he had set in motion, the return of the true Christian mysteries and the shifting of the age of the world.
We were in a sense the original light-workers of our time and in many ways you echo us now, we were entrusted to go out into the world and heal the sick and drive out demons as many of you do in many different ways as well as raising the dead from their slumber. In truth this meant awakening the spiritually dead from their confusion and ignorance, teaching them of Universal Law and the ways of the Masters but this true meaning has become lost and misinterpreted in the confusion and encodement of the bible that exists now. Then as now the healing of mankind's mind and heart and body was essential for the liberation of their Spirit, as was the liberation of their Spirit from those forces that assailed them, be they true unclean Spirits, demons, or lost or Earthbound Souls that simply needed to be moved on.
We were entrusted with the distribution of the Christ Light, as you are now and told to take nothing with us, no bread, no bag, no money on our belt save for our staff. This meant we were to carry no preconceptions with us and take none of our own issues or interpretations to the work and the people but to be as he had been a pure and clear channel for the light of the Divine. This meant that we had to sustain ourselves on nothing save the light of God and to stand in our power, using the knowledge of our path, our staff of truth, to be our only confirmation. The only badge of office, our self belief, that was needed. We were told not to put on two tunics, not to fall into the trap of adopting double standards but rather to stand in our integrity and truth and that if a town rejected us we were to shake the dirt from our feet as we left it, not to take the rejection as personal, to become angry, fearful or sad. But rather to be non-judgmental, to let this rejection go and recognise them as having exercised their choice revealing themselves not to be ready yet to see the light of truth we carried.
Needless to say we did not all succeed even though initially we were sent out in twos that we might aid each other but these stories will tell themselves to you as more of my brothers write their letters and share with you their wisdom and their way. So beloved ones, why have I come? What is it that I have to teach and show you now? I was the first to be made Apostle because I was the first to see the truth, to recognise the Christ Light in me and see myself as worthy of this task and duty. I was the first to aspire to be as the Master Jesus was, a herald of the light and a harbinger of future peace and bliss. I come to you then to say that you and I are not so different, that I have been where you are now and that if you are to fully embrace your part in the Divine plan you must recognise the validity and detail of the instruction that we were given as being of equal value and importance to you now.
For you are the Apostles of your time, the light-workers and harbingers who will enliven the consciousness of your world and set humanity free, you are the bearers of the torch of the Christ Light, the bridge to the Divine, the awakening power of the Source and you must now, first and foremost believe that this is so. For self belief is key to your anointing, it is key to your personal transformation, you must let go of all feelings of unworthiness and see that you have been chosen by the Gods to do their will and as such no longer doubt or despair but rather celebrate and rejoice and embrace with jubilation the task that has been set you. I have come to assure you of your worthiness and of the help that awaits you this year, for our Master has sent us to help steer you on your way, seeing only truth and never succumbing to the deception that the darker forces would have you fall foul of.
For the Christ Light is returning and with it the choice to reunify with the Gods grows stronger, the capacity to see yourself as Divine and embrace your Mastery, the possibility of living a life of Divine Manifestation where your dreams can become reality and you can be at one with the Source of all. And you have been chosen, not only to embrace this but to become the messenger of it to all mankind and not to waste a moment in proclaiming the light's return but to be bold and strong and spread your message, spread this truth to all of those that you are drawn to bless in this way.
... hold no one higher than yourself, be they guru or teacher, lover or friend but rather see and believe that we are all equal, are all one.
You have been chosen, marked as ready and now in earnest it must begin. Beloveds, our letters to you are to inspire hope, to help you see and recognise that you are not alone, that there are others who have been where you are now and suffered the same doubts and fears and defeats that you do. These letters aim to teach and soothe and to alert you to our presence that you might better know us and by doing so draw upon our strength and power and so in concluding then my letter here to you there is one final thing that I would impart, which is drawn from my own special story that may aid you.
Many of us did not ascend in our lifetimes as Apostles to the Master Jesus because despite all the teachings we received, despite all the truth we knew, we could not allow ourselves to believe that we were truly equal to the Master that we served. I before my death at the cross demanded that this holy sign be altered to that which has now become my symbol, the cross of St Andrew which is more X than cross, for I felt unworthy to die upon a sign which I associated with my beloved Master.
This act of love, this act of foolishness marked me as not being ready to ascend and so after this life I returned again and again until I learnt that we are all equal, are all one and should hold no other, irrespective of who or what they are, above ourselves. Whether that be out of love or respect, for the Divine sees us as equal and so therefore must we also. Respecting another is different from idolising them and it is important that all recognise and know this to be true. So beloved ones my final word to you would be, hold no one higher than yourself, be they guru or teacher, lover or friend but rather see and believe that we are all equal, are all one. This is how the Divine sees us and who are we to dare to believe otherwise. Take this then my truth and hold it to your hearts in love.
Go forth then my best beloveds and take these words and use them wisely and well, we are your friends and colleagues in the light.
I Am Andrew and I leave you with my love.
