Q: Each soul has the same purpose, that is, to wake up fully from separation from God. Yet, within the dream, in space and time, based on soul experiences and predilections, do we have our own unique purpose?

A: No. Do you want an elucidation, or is that sufficient?

Response: That’s sufficient. You were the one to tell me to ask this question.

A: Indeed. Beloved friend, this is a question that actually serves to ... it brings up into our awareness something that really serves to limit the awakening process itself. The ego places value on form more than content. The egoic mind searches for a form of expression which it hopes will fulfill its perceived purpose, and thereby, grant it what it wants, "Ah, I have done it! See how good I am?"

The only purpose of the soul is to awaken, to allow the transformative process to occur, so that Christ again reigns supreme in a mind where fear had created a substitute. Content is what matters. And the more any mind devotes itself to content, the appropriate forms merely materialize for it. Why? Because the universe, or the world you experience, is nothing more than an outpicturing of the Love of God that is working through the Holy Spirit to create the contexts that allow you to awaken, and, as we said earlier, to give you contexts in which you can become more and more skilled as a conduit for the extension of Love.

Uniqueness, once again, is an ego interpretation. For instance, there is nothing unique about me showing up as the primary spokesperson for that which I once referred to as the “lineage.” There is nothing unique about this, my beloved brother, who joins with me in this process. It may look unique to some minds. And some may say, "Oh, Jeshua. What he’s doing is so unique among all the masters!"

That is a projection. All things have one function: the healing of the Sonship so that Love can be extended sanely from the Mind of God through His Creation, Who is Christ. That’s all. You could see those things as two sides of one coin.

There’s nothing unique in what I do. There is nothing unique in what you do. It only appears that you’re in a different place and a different dimension. And the actions of the body make you think that what you’re doing is unique or different from somebody else’s function. The ego compares itself to others. It measures its worthiness by thinking about everybody else’s function. It does not see that it is merely projecting its own value onto what everybody else is doing.

Only one thing is occurring: mind is waking up. To give you a picture that would help you in this, imagine that one baby lays its head down on a pillow in its crib, and begins to dream. And part of that dream becomes the process of its own wakefulness, as the first rays of dawn begin to touch the crib through the open window. One baby, all by itself, resting in a crib, dreaming a dream, and then stirring itself to wakefulness.

The Sonship is that one baby. And you participate perfectly within it. Body-minds not withstanding - they do come and go, of course. It looks like there is a multiplicity, but there is only mind. And it is mind that is waking. One purpose . . . how can you find uniqueness when there is only one baby in the process of doing one thing - awakening, giving up dreams, stepping back into the wakefulness of Reality?

Therefore, to all of you, I want very much to encourage you to be very aware, and very wary of, the tendency within the mind to become attracted to what looks like a unique function. And the pictures that the mind gets, the fantasies that it creates about becoming a great president, about becoming a great anything, that is always secondary. And it is the ego that does those things. The mind that is informed by Love is merely available awake where it happens to find itself, doing what it happens to be doing. And it sees clearly that all power under Heaven and Earth is flowing through it, and is available in that moment to serve the one function of the healing and restoration of the Sonship. Where the body-mind happens to find itself is only secondarily of importance. Does that help you in that regard?

Response: Yes.

Q: Could you please elaborate on the Lineage, and how one comes to be in your lineage, and speak of soul groups?

A: First of all, beloved friend, if we approve of you, you might be allowed in.

Now this could, indeed, encompass an entire hour or several hours in itself, since it is a question that deals with the very heart of the dream of separation and the process of the baby’s awakening in the crib.

Within the dream itself, and we have used this analogy for you before, imagine that there is a Light, a singular Light that occupies all of space. You might think of it as a Star that fills all of space, so there’s only the Light of the Star. For some inextricable and unseen reason, that Star bursts into many, many Starlets, if you will, many points of Light that now look as though there’s a multitude, but they’re all made of the same substance: Light.

Each one of them, as that process begins, begins to see itself as unique and separate from the other aspects of the Star that has burst. Each one of them, then, begins to set in motion a vibration that looks like it begins to carry it into different corners of the universe. Different experiences begin to flow out of it, so different vibratory rates are established, would be one way of saying it. And yet, they’re really all occurring within the context of the One Star. And if there had not been that One Star, none of the little points of Light could have any existence whatsoever. They are embraced by the vibratory field of the One Star. They never lose touch with that. They merely express what appears to be variations on a central theme.

Now, as that process continues, eventually, time is birthed. Think about that sentence for a while! - Eventually, time is birthed within the dream. And with time comes space. And with space comes bodies. But bodies are, first, merely condensations of energy, far subtler than what your scientists know as atoms or quarks. And yet, they emerge, as the vibrations continue to create out of the belief of uniqueness, that which coalesces thought as a vibrating energy, called an atom. And atoms coalesce into a multitude of forms, as you well know, since you are one. You are a coalescing of a whole lot of atoms into the appearance of solidity called the body, which you then call “myself.”

So, that’s kind of what occurs. And, again, we could spend many hours discussing the process of the dream, itself - the very mechanics of the dream, itself. Again, please understand: the one baby is awakening. The dream never really occurred; that is, the perception of the reality of the dream never occurred. The valuing the dream over the dreamer has been a mistake. And the dreaming of the dreamer never separated the dreamer from the power of that One that gives forth the freedom to dream.

Understand well, then, there is no uniqueness. Everybody’s doing the same thing. One child is awakening. And that’s all that’s going on. That’s all that’s going on . . . something to think about.
