Fruit Unforbidden

On a not so spectacular day in July, I was in prayer. At that point I had begun to hear God answer my prayers, in words. While I sat in silent listening awareness, I received a command.

“Eat only fruit for three days.”

After my experience with receiving Jesus into my heart and having dreams that were coming true, in my waking life, I decided pretty quickly that I would heed the instruction even though I was not given the reason why I should undertake such an action.

I also received a vision. I saw myself, I was like a cartoon character that you could see through. I was eating a watermelon and I swallowed a seed. It went into my stomach and an alarm bell went off complete with flashing red lights. I knew in that moment that seeds were to be saved and planted so that more fruit could grow. Seeds should not be consumed. I went to the store and bought fruit and only fruit. And I ate, for three days.

On the second day I was scrolling through Facebook. And on my news feed, popped up: Essene Fruitarianism – The Jesus Diet. Let’s talk for a moment, about synchronicity. I don’t believe in coincidences…anymore. Everything happens for a reason. Signs of divine guidance are all around you if you would only pay attention you would see them, clear as day. So, I clicked on the link and read about how in the Essene New Testament, it is stated that anytime you kill something and eat it, an animal or a carrot, you are eating death. But if you eat a fruit produced by a plant and not the plant, then you keep the plant alive, and ingest life giving food instead. Thereby giving life to the body. If you want to read the page I read that day, here is the link.

After I read the page I did some more research and thought about what I had learned. I had been a vegetarian, and sometimes vegan, for 10 years at that point, so on some level I understood the ethical implications of this idea. And I agreed with it too. Yes, that means I don’t eat potatoes, garlic, onions … but I can have squash! So it’s not all bad. Because I have kept up the diet, it has been a year and a half.

What happened on the eve on the third day was rather astounding. I honestly think that changing my diet was key to what happened to me. When you work with Spirit I have found that it is good to do what you have been guided to do, even if it doesn’t make sense to you in the moment. I had no idea why I was told not to eat fruit, but because I followed that guidance I was granted a life altering experience. And that experience is the reason why I am typing out these words to you today.

I Love You

All That Is Loves All That You Are.

Never could something so vast, so ubiquitous, be wholly knowable by a singularity that is a human being incarnate. And yet within each of us there is a yearning to know where the root of our soul comes from. Where it resides. What that makes us. Why we are who we are.

And so we search.

At first we search with our senses for we do not understand that there can exist anything outside of what can be perceived.

We go to the limits of our being through wrongdoing and eventually we come to realize that error of thought, desire, and action, could never reflect the truth of our being that so wishes to escape suffering.

We hear of seemingly ungraspable mysteries such as love, unity, and miracle. We wonder if such infinite encompassings would ever be felt much less known. Failing at that moment to realize that they compose the very fibres of our being.

And in our shortcomings we cannot imagine that we are searching for ourselves. Perhaps because we cannot imagine limitlessness and in the same moment be bounded in form.

But I tell you: if you can be very still and if you could become very quiet you just might feel it. You might dissolve into eternity, having achieved union with All That Is. You might just feel a love so profound, so overpowering that it makes you forget all the times that you weren’t loved. And you may be able to sense something you never knew was there before, but that has been with you this whole time.

This perfect love, this awesome miracle, I speak of is not mine alone, but is free for all who ask for it, And it will be given to you if you ask for it with a pure heart. You may be visited by the Order that is the Holy Spirit. You may be given the Unconditional Love that is the Son, Jesus, the Christed One. The Lord and Saviour of all those who came after. Or you may be embraced by the All That Is.

Such cherishing cannot be put into words other than that suddenly, even if you don’t know why you are here, you know that you are supposed to be.

And so I will give you a simple prayer, so that you may feel God as I have.

All That Is,

I pray to you in the name of Jesus.

I wish to truly know you, so please draw near to me.

I desire to feel your Unconditional Love, so please show it to me.

Let me open completely into your Love, let me be enveloped by it.

Let me Love and be Loved so perfectly through you that there can be no doubt left in me that I am Loved by you.

And for this priceless Gift, I would be truly grateful.

Amen

Since being loved, I have come to know myself.

And I can’t keep from speaking the truth as I have perceived it.

Since being loved, I now desire to love others in a way that they too can be set free by love.

And I can’t keep from dancing! Knowing that I am animated by the dynamic ambulation of perfect infinitude.

Since being loved for All That I Am, I know that we have always been and will always be cared for in such a way that we need no longer be afraid, for any reason.

And I can’t keep from you, that the All That Is, Loves All That You Are too.

Guardian Angels

If Jesus makes a house call, if Jesus takes the time to visit YOUR personal bedroom, I would NOT doubt for a second that I would see you sitting in a pew the following Sunday. From those 10 golden minutes in May, my goals have changed, my values have changed, my hobbies have changed. It’s almost as though I have been given a completely new life.

I started praying more, A LOT more. Wouldn’t you? If you KNEW someone was listening? I mean, Jesus came to visit because I had really stuck to the manifestation prayer: “I have unconditional love”. So, it made sense that my other prayers would be heard and answered as well. And they were. By way of miracle.

Around that time I had picked up a contract position where I would be sent to different schools to teach dance. Every two weeks I got a check in the mail with the previous two weeks worth of pay on it. I was always scheduled well in advance. At that time I WOULD be teaching at a school called Guardian Angels … but I would not begin the term, at that school, for a few more weeks. I got a check in the mail. By accident it had an extra hour of pay on it, from Guardian Angels. I emailed head office and informed them that they had made an error on my pay check. They never returned the email. On my next pay check the same error was made: an extra hour of pay from Guardian Angels. No Joke. And my company never fixed it. It continued to happen with every pay check I received.

Around this time I had also started to dream. And not just fluffy, unimportant, absurd dreams. I began to have dreams that foretold the future. I dreamt that my partner and I would break up, and we did, a few days later. I dreamt I would meet someone new, and I did, a few days later. I dreamt that we would begin a new relationship together, and we did, a few days later. These dreams continued and I still have them all the time.

These happenings began to worm their way into my thoughts constantly. It was clear that I was being taken care of. I decided to start wearing a cross. And I prayed. Constantly and about everything I could think of. My prayers about money had been answered. Wouldn’t the rest of them be answered as well? I also wrote my prayers down. I asked for BIG things, using language I had not yet learned would result in a complete revolution of my life. I asked God for money, to fix my relationships, to heal me, and to handle all of my affairs. On June 1st 2018, my journal entry says:

Dear God,

What would you have me know?

Amen.

Little did I know that this prayer would alter the course of my life.

Wait…God’s Real?

Last June I was not a Christian but over the course of 10 minutes, everything changed. This isn’t my first story, nor the most magnificent, but I feel like it is the most important story I have. This was the pivot point. This was the day that everything changed. This was the day that I met Christ.

Before I tell you the miracle that came over my life, I want to introduce myself. My name is Chris and I am 27 years old. I am a dance teacher and choreographer and I call Toronto, home. I was raised by strictly atheist parents. And I mean ATHEIST. I wasn’t even allowed to ask questions about God. I remember asking my mother, one day when I was very young, about God. She said something to the effect of, “Some people believe that there is a magical man who lives in the sky…isn’t that silly? Now it’s time to go do your math homework.” Later I asked my biological father (my parents divorced when I was very young) a similar question about God. He asked me, “Do you think God would make Autistic people like your brother?” I had to admit growing up, seeing how much my brother suffered, I didn’t think that a being that was supposed to be all-loving would do such a thing as create Autistic people.

And that was that. I wasn’t even 6 years old but I had made up my mind. There was no such thing as God. And I didn’t think too much about it, after that. But when I got older I began to notice a persistent hollow or empty feeling in the very centre of my chest. It never even occurred to me that it could be the feeling of ‘missing God’. By then I was fully indoctrinated into the belief that Science was the only rational way of viewing the world. And that religious folks were completely delusional – talking to their imaginary friends. But I did know something was missing. I just didn’t know what it was.

At around age 18 I began my dissent into the study of Buddhism. I thought it was a safe choice. Zen Buddhism doesn’t have a God at its centre. It is merely a practice. I knew my parents would approve of my safe and disciplined choice. I didn’t take it too seriously at first. But over the years I began to develop my meditation skills and even considered joining a monastery. Over time, I began to be interested in other Spiritual Practices and other Religions. I collected various texts, and scriptures. I enjoyed visiting temples and old churches. But I never really believed in God. I imagined that the Bible had some historical truth to it, but most probably, Jesus was just some sort of magician. Never in a million years did I believe that I would one day call myself a Christian. Nor did I believe that Jesus Christ made house calls.

Today, I sit here writing to you, completely convinced of 4 significant truths.

Jesus Christ was a real and tangible saviour.
If you ask for Christ, he will answer you.
God is Real.
If you are not careful with your words, Jesus will show up in your little apartment bedroom and just knock your socks off.

But truly I tell you, I now have an unshakable faith. And I want to tell you my story. It’s a story of an Atheist turned Christian. It’s a story of a life of darkness given to the light. It’s a story of a lost soul that was found. But most important it’s a story of unconditional love.

And so it begins…
