'My direct and abiding experience is that the Christ-consciousness, the Self, the pure presence (whatever name you like to call it) lives and moves and acts and sees and hears and tastes and speaks and writes and smiles and laughs and cries and loves and works and plays, through the Francis person. The Christ and the Francis are absolutely inseparable. Christ is the very being of the Francis. The Francis cannot exist apart from the Christ anymore than he could exist apart from being. 'The Christ' in fact, is simply another name for being itself. There is no longer a Francis without a Christ. And the Christ cannot (without the Francis) shine into the world in quite the particular and unique way that he does shine through the Francis! I cannot really adequately convey in words how one, how unitive, how completely seamless is this life of the Christ and this life of the Francis! They are not at all two lives, they are one life! It is no longer just the "i" that lives, it is the Christ that lives through this "me"!' (Francis on Facebook, 6 April 2014)

Gina Lake: Jesus Is Here Today
1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern, 9pm UK, 10pm Europe
Jesus is here today and active in the world, behind the scenes, through anyone who is connected to him and teaching the Truth. The Truth is the truth of our inherent divinity and our capacity to express that in the world and thereby transform the world. Jesus was here to change the world, and so are we. Gina will discuss her personal connection with Jesus and the role he played in her latest book Choice and Will. Christ is also here today in potential through the divinity of everyone.
Gina asked Jesus if he would be a nondual teacher today if he were alive, and she received this answer: “I came to change the world. If nondual teachings and teachers are a means for transforming the world, and by that I mean transforming consciousness and consequently the world, then I would be a nondual teacher. If, on the other hand, nondual teachings and teachers are simply a means of personal liberation and the world is seen as an illusion and suffering as irrelevant and not something to relieve, I would not be a nondual teacher.”
