Mentors, part I: Jesus Christ

by Nadia

It's difficult to talk about Jesus with the weight his name carries in the Western world. I am not Christian and I cannot relate to the teachings of the Church about Jesus after my lifelong bond with him.

I think Jesus was with me as soon as I was born, but I couldn't put a name on his presence, especially with being raised atheist. Ths first I clearly felt there was an undeniable presence with me besides my own thoughts, I must have been 5 and I was swinging in the backyard. I was totally absorbed by the experience, the wind on my face, my legs pumping back and forth, my eyes tearing up a bit... I was in bliss, and suddenly I knew I was not alone, and I knew who I was feeling had been there the whole time, waiting for me to remember. It was not an experience where you feel connected to everything so you know you're not alone. It was as if my best friend was over my left shoulder, laughing and loving me in that moment. The presence was very human, but so pure and so joyful I immediately fell in Love with him and I knew I wanted to be like that too.

Two decades passed, through which I was busy with building the required 3D life I thought I needed. I didn't consciously think of Jesus (who for me still didn't have a name), but I felt his joy in me even in the hard moments, and I made a point of honoring this joy and setting up values for myself that I may live with the same pure heart as the one I felt over my shoulder.

As I got older I became more aware and familiar with my spiritual journey. I studied various healing modalities and it became apparent that connecting to the Divine was easy for me, which I attribute to my connection to Him. As my journey deepened I started to be able to call onto Divine wisdom more consciously, and that started my channeling journey. It's a wonderful thing to be able to express Divine Love and help others connect with It.

I now understand that my connection to Jesus was Source/God/Divine Intelligence's way to prepare me for the journey of rememberance that we all are on. It was a needed step for me to connect in a "human" way, less overwhelming for a child, before expanding my abilities through life experience. I encourage you to reflect on how Source helps you connect to the Divine in a way that works for you, and to deepen your spiritual practice around this tool. It may take you further than ever before!
