with any relevant quotes and/or material they have from Shri Mataji. I'll then

do a Combined Post that includes them all and write their individual Post Nos.

beside each New Heading, so anyone wishing to reply to them, can easily do so.

Anyone wishing to help could do a printout of the Combined Post on which i will

put the individual Post Nos. of all the New Headings and that way it will be

easy to find the post and reply to it, with whatever quotes and/or material you

5. / Heading

 

The Holy Spirit descends upon Christ Jesus

 

Christ Jesus: The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because She anointed Me to

preach the Gospel to the poor [in Spirit]. She has sent Me to proclaim release

to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are

downtrodden, to proclaim the favourable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19)

 

John the Baptist 'bears witness', confirming Shri Jesus's Incarnation. In John's

Vision, he sees the Holy Spirit descending upon Christ Jesus, and he hears Her

voice, expressing pleasure in Her Son. According to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

`the Christian Comforter', the Holy Spirit is God the Mother. We are finding

very much written about God the Mother in the Scriptures. Shri Mataji says that

you cannot have God the Father and God the Son, without God the Mother, also. In

fact, just by applying the Christian Comforter's teachings, we are finding God

the Mother in a very big way in the Bible, just through giving Her back the

correct gender, rather than making it either masculine or neuter. Her true

identity has been hidden until this Resurrection Time, because this is Her Time,

`the Age of the [Living] Water Bearer' that Christ promised would come. However,

Christ also hid Her, to protect Her from physical harm, at a Time, when they

crucified people.

 

Shri Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is an incarnation of God the Mother. So is Shri

Mataji Nirmala Devi an incarnation of God the Mother. Shri Mataji has told us

that She recalls events from Her incarnation as Mary, the Mother of Jesus and

that She still cannot really dwell on the crucifixion of Jesus, Her Son, even

though She knew it needed to happen, so He could show `the Resurrection'… that

the body does not die, though it dies.

 

Here is what Shri Mataji says, concerning Christ Jesus:

 

" They question why Christ had to be crucified. Why could you not save Him from

crucifixion? He was crucified because that was to be done in His case, that He

had to pass through Agnya [the Narrow Gate]. He had to establish Himself in

Agnya, and [with regard to the cross] He had to pass through that. So the

message of His life is never the cross, but the message is His resurrection. He

resurrected. That was one of the things He did [that was] very great, so that

now you can be resurrected also.

 

In every incarnation in the evolution, every incarnation did something very very

unique. At the end of it Christ did the Resurrection part, and He did it because

He had to die. Otherwise how can you resurrect yourself? So there are lots of

things, which look mythical, which are not. Tomorrow they'll say that Christ

never resurrected Himself. And actually, he died later on in Kashmir. There's a

proof of it.

 

But still the people don't want to believe. And they just wanted to spread

Christianity. Because they know that if you have majority of people then they

can rule. The same trick now is tried by politicians. But this kind of a

majority is not going to bring any solace or any benevolence for people!

 

Christ's Mother Herself has been challenged by this man [Apostle Paul] who said

all kinds of nonsense about Her. On the contrary, Mohammed-Sahib in the Koran

says, nobody should challenge the chastity of the Holy Mother, of Christ's

Mother. He has respected [Her]. Why is there no respect shown to Mother Mary in

the Bible. No respect! She's called " a woman " !!!

 

Because of Paul, who was a horrible anti-Christ who came over, who took over

Christianity, tried to spread Christianity, and with that what he wanted [was]

to put his own importance and he used Peter who was the worst possible disciple

of Christ, whom Christ had told that Satan will take you over. So now they are

telling people that it's impossible, that how can it be that Christ was born to

a Virgin. We Indians worship Shri Ganesh. Shri Ganesh is the same as Christ. And

we believe that the Mother Herself created the Child without………. " as a Virgin " ,

as a Gauri.

 

[And Mary said to the [arch]angel [Gabriel]: " How can this be, since I am a

virgin? " And the angel answered and said to Her: " The Holy Spirit will come upon

you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you and for that reason the

holy offspring shall be called the Son of God. " (Mary, Mother of Christ Jesus -

Luke 1: 34-35)]

 

As you know, Shri Ganesha is a very powerful deity. It is the same with Christ,

who said that " if you say anything against the Holy Ghost, I will not tolerate

it " :

 

[ " He who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me

scatters. Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men,

but blasphemy against the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall

speak a word against the Son of Man [Christ Himself], it shall be forgiven him,

but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit [God the Mother] it shall not be

forgiven him, either in this Age or in the Age [of Aquarius] to come. " (Christ

Jesus - Matthew 12:30-32)]

 

And also against Christ, I will not tolerate `a word even'! Only on that point,

I will have to see that all these horrible people [rakshasas/devils] will be

destroyed completely.

 

On this occasion of His birthday we have to realize that Christ was born from

the same things as Shri Ganesh. So He was wisdom; the Source of wisdom. He said

only a few things because they didn't allow Him to live long. At the most, He

could only lecture three to three and a half years, but whatever He said is so

truthful, so correct and so wise! Of course they [the priestly class] might have

tried to dabble with that, but there are still lots of truths left in the Bible,

no doubt about it. And He did spend His lifetime in telling the truth. He's the

first One who talked so clearly about God. "

 

(Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Christmas Puja - Ganapatipule, India - 25 December,

1993)

 

 

God the Mother, the Holy Spirit, revealed Her Role in giving Spiritual Birth in

a revelation to John:

 

" And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon

under Her feet, and on Her Head a Crown of Twelve Stars, and She was with Child,

and She cried out, being in labour and in pain to Give Birth. (Revelations

12:1-2)

 

On all levels Christ Jesus is Her Son, and when the Holy Spirit descended on

Him, She expressed Her pleasure in Him:

 

" And the Holy Spirit descended upon Him [Christ Jesus] in a bodily form, like a

dove, and a voice came out of heaven [saying] " Thou art My beloved Son, in Thee

I am well-pleased. " (Luke 3:22)

 

The next day he [John] saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God

who takes away the sin of the world! This is He on behalf of whom I said " After

me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me and I did

not recognise Him, but in order that He might be manifested to Israel, I came

baptizing in water. " And John bore witness, saying: I have beheld the Spirit

descending as a dove out of heaven, and She remained upon Him and I did not

recognize Him [the Christed One] but She who sent me to baptize in water, said

to me: " He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this

is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit " . And I [John] have seen and [have]

`borne witness' that this is [indeed] the Son of God. (John 1:29-34)

 

When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week and when

the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came and stood in their

midst and said to them: " Peace be with you! " And when He had said this, He

showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples therefore rejoiced, when

they saw the Lord Jesus. Therefore He said to them again: " Peace be with you; as

the Father has sent Me I also send you " . And when He had said this, He breathed

on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. " (John 20: 19-22)

 

But as many as received Him [Christ Jesus] to them He gave the right to become

children of God, even to those who believe in His name. (John 1:12)

 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because She anointed Me to preach the Gospel

to the poor [in Spirit]. She has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,

and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are downtrodden, to

proclaim the favourable year of the Lord. (Christ Jesus - Luke 4:18-19)

 

Now the Lord is the [Holy] Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is [awakened

within] there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17)

 

Then there was brought to Him [Christ Jesus] a demon-possessed man who was blind

and dumb, and He healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. And all the

multitudes were amazed and began to say, " This man cannot be the Son of David,

can he? " But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, " This man casts out demons

only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons. " And knowing their thoughts He

[Christ] said to them, " Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and

any city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And if Satan casts out

Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? And if I

by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Consequently

they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then

the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can anyone enter the strong man's

house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then

he will plunder his house. (Matthew 12:22-29)

Dear Violet et al,

 

i believe over the years the www.holyspirit-shekinah.org will become

the touchstone for any SY who wants to introduce Shri Mataji to

Christians. The ever-deepenning faith, conviction and emphasis of the

feminity and esotericism of the Holy Spirit will work wonders Violet,

all the more in future. For example, this is the first time i am

comprehending the words of Jesus with clarity and connection to the

Holy Spirit/Adi Shakti within. Now i realize why i had to give you

complete freedom to commence a task that will take years, a task that

i know is vital for the success of Lord Jesus'/Shri Mataji's message to

humanity. So be happy and joyous for this great blessing.

 

warmest regards,

 

jagbir

 

BTW, i am already working on the new headings.

[Guest guest]

Dear Jagbir, Nicole and All,

 

Thanks for all your encouragement, which is appreciated. i also appreciate

everyone's generous contributions, which will determine the final outcome of the

HSS site http://www.holyspirit-shekinah.org/ whose main aim is to clarify the

connection between Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit/Adi Shakti within.

 

The best way to add new material to any of the New Headings for HSS, is to reply

to the latest thread of the particular New Heading of your choice. That way, we

will all see the progressive build-up of the material and know where each other

is at.... and also where extra work is needed. Jagbir, when you deem a

particular New Heading to be satisfactorily completed and ready for upload to

the HSS site, it would be appreciated if you could inform us, thus effectively

ending that thread with its final edit.... so we know it is finished and we

don't have to add anything more to it. Thanks.

 

When all of the New Headings are completed and uploaded, that is the end of

Stage 1. The beginning of Stage 2, is when the work " really begins " !!! Stage 1

is only the framework upon which we can build our articles, so if you want, you

can put your attention on the subject matter and contemplate on it for use later

on. (Sometimes, i have an idea or inspiration, which i do not have time to write

about at the time it comes to me.... or a verse of Scripture, or a Quote of Shri

Mataji, so i will just jot it down in a notebook, which i always have close at

hand. That is how we can already prepare ourselves for the Stage 2 Articles,

when the time comes.)

 

i envisage Stage 2 to be one of " going deeper " into the subject matter of the

New Headings. Then the writer can go into even one small aspect and elaborate on

that. It will not matter if English is not your country's first language, i will

edit it for you into English phrasing, spelling, etc. on this forum itself, so

you can check it, before it is uploaded to the HSS site. {All you need to do is

post it on the forum, and i will edit it there for you). It is your ideas,

inspirations and knowledge that are of primary importance. These are what we

need and i know you will enjoy sharing these, once you just get started. Start

very simply and you will see your creative writing talents " grow " !!!

 

You do not have to come from a specifically Christian/Jewish background either,

in order to help with this project. For example, if you come from an Indian

(Hindu} background, you must have a lot of knowledge at your fingertips, to also

help with the Christian understanding from your Hindu background.... and this is

the case with all other religious backgrounds too! We have to get all the

different blossoms back on the same tree and to do that, we all need to work

together. That is how the whole spiritual understanding will open up in a

universal way. It can only open up the collective spiritual vision, when

everyone will be able to see, the common connecting threads of spiritual

understanding that unite all the religions.

 

But, for now we are concentrating on the completion of Stage 1.... getting all

the New Headings completed and uploaded to the HSS site. i will send a few more

today and i hope as many of you, as feel inspired, will join in this collective

work, for the emancipation of humanity.

 

Btw, Jagbir, this is the first time i am also comprehending the words of Jesus

with clarity and connection to the Holy Spirit/Adi Shakti within. This

information needs to be extracted from the Scriptures, it seems, as it is not

easily apparent otherwise. It is actually a " real eye-opener " when the Truths

that Shri Mataji gave, can clearly be seen there, in the Scriptures. She has

given us the Knowledge to extract it from where it has been hidden.... until

now!!!

 

That's nice that you are already working on the Headings. i won't send it to

you, as we arranged before then, but put it on the forum the way we are now

doing and which i think will be nice, so everyone can get involved, if they

wish. i am happy and joyous for this great blessing, to be involved in such a

great project. Thanks, Jagbir.

 

love and best wishes to all,

 

violet

Dear All,

 

i should have said, i will (hopefully) send a few more today. It hasn't

happened, as i am trying to send them in lots of 7 together and the email,

explaining how we can do this process together, took some time. Anyway, it is

good that we have a few years to finish this project, which i am sure we will

all enjoy. We can also then collectively enjoy the fruits of our labour when it

is complete. We do not know what great things will happen as a result of all our

work!!!

5. / Heading

 

 

The Holy Spirit descends upon Christ Jesus

 

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;

Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;

Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art;

And make me love Thee as I ought to love.

 

I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,

No sudden rending of the veil of clay,

No angel visitant, no opening skies;

But take the dimness of my soul away.

 

Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;

Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear.

To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh,

Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

 

Hast Thou not bid me love Thee, God and King?

All, all Thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind.

I see Thy cross; there teach my heart to cling:

O let me seek Thee, and O let me find!

 

Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,

One holy passion filling all my frame;

The kindling of the heaven descended Dove,

My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

> God the Mother, the Holy Spirit, revealed Her Role in giving

Spiritual Birth in a revelation to John:

>

> " And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun,

and the moon under Her feet, and on Her Head a Crown of Twelve Stars,

and She was with Child, and She cried out, being in labour and in

pain to Give Birth. (Revelations 12:1-2)

>

> On all levels Christ Jesus is Her Son, and when the Holy Spirit

descended on Him, She expressed Her pleasure in Him:

>

> " And the Holy Spirit descended upon Him [Christ Jesus] in a bodily

form, like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven [saying] " Thou art

My beloved Son, in Thee I am well-pleased. " (Luke 3:22)

>

> The next day he [John] saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold

the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He on

behalf of whom I said " After me comes a Man who has a higher rank

than I, for He existed before me and I did not recognise Him, but in

order that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in

water. " And John bore witness, saying: I have beheld the Spirit

descending as a dove out of heaven, and She remained upon Him and I

did not recognize Him [the Christed One] but She who sent me to

baptize in water, said to me: " He upon whom you see the Spirit

descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in

the Holy Spirit " . And I [John] have seen and [have] `borne witness'

that this is [indeed] the Son of God. (John 1:29-34)

>

> When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the

week and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus

came and stood in their midst and said to them: " Peace be with you! "

And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His

side. The disciples therefore rejoiced, when they saw the Lord Jesus.

Therefore He said to them again: " Peace be with you; as the Father

has sent Me I also send you " . And when He had said this, He breathed

on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. " (John 20: 19-22)

>

> But as many as received Him [Christ Jesus] to them He gave the

right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His

name. (John 1:12)

>

> The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because She anointed Me to

preach the Gospel to the poor [in Spirit]. She has sent Me to

proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind,

to set free those who are downtrodden, to proclaim the favourable

year of the Lord. (Christ Jesus - Luke 4:18-19)

>

> Now the Lord is the [Holy] Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord

is [awakened within] there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17)

>

> Then there was brought to Him [Christ Jesus] a demon-possessed man

who was blind and dumb, and He healed him, so that the dumb man spoke

and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and began to say, " This

man cannot be the Son of David, can he? " But when the Pharisees heard

it, they said, " This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler

of the demons. " And knowing their thoughts He [Christ] said to them,

" Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or

house divided against itself shall not stand. And if Satan casts out

Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom

stand? And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons

cast them out? Consequently they shall be your judges. But if I cast

out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come

upon you. Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry

off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he

will plunder his house. (Matthew 12:22-29)
