Jeshua's Message:
_______________________________
“Just because what you want most is not presently abundant, does not mean
that abundance is not all around you in other forms. There are many
cycles of change and growth in the universe. The surest way to attract
abundance and to multiply that which you most desire is to first
appreciate the nature of abundance, itself, and to be encouraged wherever
you see it.
“In human experience, abundance is most closely related to feelings and
expressions of affluence. Affluence is much more than being materially
rich. Affluence is a sense of having more than enough. It is not
measured by material wealth, but more truly by one’s attitude toward
life. Affluence is a talent for giving and receiving. Like all talents,
when perfected, it is rewarded. The opposite can also be true. There
are many people who acquired possessions before having a healthy sense of
affluence. To them, nothing is ever enough. Eventually, their friends,
family, and associates (not to mention The Creator) will become weary with
such attitudes of non-appreciation. Gradually, through unwise
investments, debt, business failures, divorce, ill health, or a thousand
other causes, their wealth will be transferred to others who have shown a
greater talent for affluence.
“The surest sign of having attained the spirit of affluence is to
consider—with sincere and immense gratitude—that you already have more
than enough! When, with only a little, you can hold the spirit of
affluence and be a good and benevolent steward of what you have, much more
will be given to you.”

Quote from Keys of Jeshua:
____________________________
“And charity is not
just the giving away of worldly goods. Charity is a generous heart, a
grateful spirit, a forgiving soul, a
courageous life, an expansive vision, an exploratory mind, caring
hands, persistent dedication, and creative ideas. Charity is a visible
sign of spiritual wealth. As you express your spiritual wealth, material
abundance will follow.
“Spiritual wealth has
other recognizable qualities. For one, gratitude is the feeling of
wealth. The inner way of wealth is to be in such harmony with your
true being and with God that you do not
waste vital energy looking for greener
pastures, but cultivate and multiply that which you have been given. The
attitude of wealth is humility! Even with meager material
possessions, you can experience great
abundance and wealth. When you can see the abundance of infinite supply
as greater than you are, there is no end to your wealth. When you can
know this with all your heart, then materialpossessions—however
great or small—will serve your life and bring no sense of lack. The
action of wealth is creative ingenuity.
“Resentment, self-pity, fear,
blame, hoarding, and wishing yourself to be what you are not—these are the
greatest obstacles to living abundantly. Even the very wealthy are often
guilty of these things and take no joy in their prosperity. Many who live
modestly have none of these qualities and enjoy their meager bounty as a
king in a palace.”

This Months Story:
_______________________*****
Too often we
associate wealth with our possessions or at least with the ability to
establish financial security and to purchase the experiences we want.
What we fail to realize is that such states of wealth are only physical
manifestations of more important attainments. Such attainments would
include having friends and family who enrich our lives; having health,
laughter, values that honor the daily blessings of life; having
sensitivity, creativity, hope, optimism, productivity, and the ability to
be selectivelyin
the presence of that which we hold most dear. How do we obtain these
higher standards and rewards of wealth. I believe, as Jeshua taught, that
it begins with how we create and manage our consciousness. Is the temple
of your consciousness full of sun light, and furnished with meaningful,
supportive, and honorable experiences? Are the gardens of your
temple filled with singing birds and flowers, or are they filled with
weeds and thistles leaving no clear paths on which to travel or soft beds
of grass on which to rest. Whether you wish to admit it or not, you are
the creator and master of your consciousness! That is your first and
major creation, and from that all the varieties of your life experience
emerge.
There is possibly nothing we need to be more vigilant about than
the creation and management of our consciousness…that which furnishes our
heart and mind with the power of reality.
In ancient
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like
you to pass a little test. It's called the "Triple Filter Test".
"Triple filter?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about
my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The
first Filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are
about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true
or not. Now let's try the second filter, the Filter of Goodness. Is what
you are about to tell me about my student is something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about
him, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little
embarrassed. Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though,
because there is a third filter - the Filter of Usefulness. Is what you
want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither
True, nor Good, nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?" The man was
defeated and ashamed.
If we would apply
these filters to our consciousness, every day with every experience and
conversation, we would soon have consciousness capable of producing great
abundance instead of grief and remorse.

Two wonderful radio interviews with Patty Kovacs, the latest being October 27th, answered many questions that our readers have asked. We encourage you to listen by using this link: http://www.wsradio.com/healthandbeautyrevolution/september2004.htm
This will take you to the listening archives
of WS Radio. Then just scroll down to 9.27.04. There are two interviews
on The Keys of Jeshua. C lick and listen.
_______________________
For those of you who do not have time for an hour interview, I
want to address a frequently asked question. What is the difference
between prayer and meditation?
________________________
Many of you who are regular meditators are now desiring to pray
more often, and others who have relied on daily prayer are wanting to also
meditate. It seems that most people are beginning to realize there is a
profound symbiosis between these two expressions of reverence. In order
to support this growth, we made the “Prayers and Meditations” CD available
from The Keys of Jeshua.
____________________________
Prayers are the sincere expressions we make to our Creator about our
deepest feelings, hopes, dreams, needs, and even fears. It can also be an
expression of praise and gratitude, or a plea for help and guidance.
Through prayer we can seek forgiveness for ourselves or another, and even
pray for the well-being of another. Prayer need not be in words. It can
be in song, or creative expression. Whatever the means, through prayer
we are actively creating our relationship with God.
___________________
In meditation, we
are listening for answers. By disciplining our minds to be still, and
allowing our hearts to open, we embrace the greater possibilities for
life. We become more unconditional, more tolerant, more receptive, and
more open to the Creator’s greater vision of how a prayer may best be
answered and our life best be served. Limiting expectations provide a
common obstacle to seeing our prayers answered and our lives fulfilled.
Meditation is the solvent to boundaries of the heart, mind, and soul.

Announcing: A new giclee edition of “The Lamb and The Lion,” 24" x 24"
Many of you have already
seen the exquisite beauty of “The Lamb and The Lion” Giclees. A quality
giclee (and ours are the best) is the closest reproduction to an original
oil on canvas that is technically possible. It captures all the subtlety,
nuance, and richness of brush strokes, highlights, and shading as no other
medium of reproduction can. Most people cannot distinguish between a
giclee and the original painting. Because of that, the power of an
original work of art is captured as well. I was thrilled that the giclee
medium emerged into its perfected form about the time “The Lamb and The
Lion” was finished. What a touch of God! So, I immediately established
two sizes of giclee for that painting in limited edition quantity. They
are each individually, and painstakingly, crafted so it is necessary that
the sizes available and number be limited. I chose to reproduce it in its
actual size (48” x 48”) and also in a smaller size that was more suitable
for homes, yet large enough to carry the presence of its large prototype.
_____________
However, through the years, the most
requested item was to make a “Lamb and Lion” giclee in an even smaller
size that would be more affordable. People wanted it be larger than the
print, but easier to display in the average home than the existing giclee
editions.
AT LAST, we have
sold out enough of our earlier editions that I can listen to your requests
and supply your desire. Just in time
for Christmas 2004, we have opened an edition of “The Lamb and The Lion”
giclees in the unframed size of 24” x 24”.
They will retail for only $450 unframed, and $595 framed. They are
beautifully framed in a champagne gold frame (four inches wide) that is
rich enough for traditional interiors, yet tailored and clean enough for
the most modern styles. We will be glad to send you a picture of the
frame on request. Each one, of course, is signed and numbered with a
certificate of authenticity.
Now the bad news is, there will
only be 1000 EVER in this edition… for the whole world (and this is the
only size that would sensibly ship abroad). After 12 years of accumulated
demand and hundreds of thousands of people that admire the painting, this
edition will not last long. Those of you who are blessed to have one will
want to share it.
We wanted to let you, our most devoted supporters know first. Official
announcements will be going out later this week.
There is possibly no more special Christmas present you could give
yourself or anyone you love. Its message is one of pure love, peace, and
inner strength so needed in our world and in our hearts today. This is
the present you will LOVE forever.
