replace me with you! mooji

The very significance of Christmas is this Christ Consciousness, the Christ-light, which is the real light of the world.
The light of consciousness, the light of the Self in its purest dynamic expression, is what we call the Christ that manifested in the human form called Jesus so many years ago,
but the source and origin of this light is timelessly unchangeable. Just in this moment now, I invite you to consciously, willingly embody the spirit of Christ. You can do this, in fact, because it is here already; it is essentially what we are.
When you fully wake up to the reality of the Self through complete and final understanding, you will see that it is nothing new. It is always timelessly present, complete, and perfect.
The recognition might feel new, but that which is recognised is timeless and is ever-present. I am inviting you to embody this Christ Consciousness, which means to fully acknowledge, welcome, and be your source Self. You can recognise this for it is your real nature, this Christ-light or Krishna Consciousness which is the same thing.
Christmas Blessing

I remind you of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s statement: He says that ‘The “I” removes the “I”, yet remains the “I”.’ Another way of putting that, in the form of a prayer, is ‘Replace me with you.’ It is the same thing. We are very accustomed to relating to ourself from the status of a person, so now this sense of the person is saying: ‘Replace me with You who are my source.’ This Source is not outside of or apart from yourself. ‘Remove that which appears to be what I am, but in reality I am not. Replace this ego-identity with my true Self. Let there be only You who are pure and complete Truth.’ —This prayer is generated by the pure consciousness which has blessed this human form with the timing of its own Self-revelation. The ‘You’ in that prayer also means ‘my true Self’, because in reality there is no ‘you’ in the universe; there is only ‘I’. All beings know themselves as ‘I’. When you feel that ‘I am this body’, then another body is given the label ‘you’. But when you pray to God and say ‘Replace me with You,’ it means replace the ego identity with pure consciousness, because God means pure consciousness. When the focus of the attention in the body is not in service to the ego-self but only to the state of presence-consciousness-self, and even onward from presence, then at a certain stage we will be able to see that even the state of presence itself is perceived to be phenomenal. But if this is not yet clear for you, then first abide in the state of presence. By transcending the ego-self in this way, you will find that the usual troubles of the world, such as those related to work, money, and relationships— all the things that seem to become burdensome at times for the personal identity —will be lightened up and gradually thin away as one awakens to the true Self. Many things which we discover anew in life have already been there all along. They have been there since time immemorial, yet have merely gone unrecognised. Therefore I say again: When you wake up to full understanding, to the full realisation of the Self, you see that it is nothing new. The recognition may feel new, but That which is recognised is timelessly present.
Your being is always complete, full, and whole. It is not the size of your body. It is also not the size of your thoughts, but it will seem to become the size of your body and your thoughts and be experienced that way until the Self is ‘awakened’ to its true nature. I am now inviting you to consciously embody, fully acknowledge, welcome, and be your source Self, which is the Christ-light, the Krishna Consciousness. Simply leave aside all that arises in the mind and remain as the intelligent space in which they arise. BE THAT SPACE. Don’t waste time focusing on small things, on trying to ‘over-clean your house’. There are spots on the moon, but they do not affect its light. Don’t put too much energy into trying to get rid of small things. Focus that energy instead on the source from which even the mind and consciousness are observed to arise. That is most powerful. That is what I call ‘the one medicine for everything’, because when your mind is focused on the Self, the power of that has the capacity to bless every aspect of your expression automatically. These things become self-evident and very clear inside. As wisdom dawns and blossoms in your Heart, it is like there is an angel within you that gives you right guidance— the right approach without any sense of separation.
A Merry Christmas, a beautiful evening, and a beautiful day to you wherever you are. Not just a human day, but a day of God. Not a day made of hours, but a day full of grace. ~Mooji 25 dec 2015
