Many people are being called to the Christ in these late times as we enter the vortex of intense, inescapable death and rebirth as a species. The inner call to Christ is happening all over the world, often in the most unexpected places. Many in the Islamic world are experiencing Christ coming to them directly. In the West and the rest of the world, people are experiencing similar gifts of grace. The Christ, both as Jesus and as a universal Presence, is coming into the awareness of more and more souls in the human experience. This was prophesied in the Bible, and is unfolding widely now during the early stages of the Second Coming.
This happened to me more than thirty years ago. I had left Christianity as a child, finding the church lifeless, empty, and devoid of spirit. My relatives who went to church every Sunday seemed hypocritical, not living anything like what Jesus Christ taught. I walked away from Christianity, never to return.
As I began to awaken in my early 20s, I turned to the East, drawn primarily to the path of the Hindu saints and gurus. This led me to India in my 30s, where I met my guru, Hairakhan Baba, who was a manifestation of the immortal Yogi Christ of India, Mahavatar Babaji. Through the grace of Babaji and the teachings and practices of Adi Da Samraj (who was known as heart master Bubba Free John at the time), I experienced a kundalini awakening and conscious union with God within.
All the while, another being was standing in the background, overlighting all that I was experiencing. He entered my life through an image of Christ painted from the Shroud of Turin, which was given me by a fellow Babaji devotee who had previously been a Swedish minister. The image had so much energy around it that I found myself carrying it with me while I moved and traveled around the world. The picture of Christ was one of the very few things that made all the stops on that journey. Gradually I found myself meditating on the face of Christ from the Shroud, and the stirrings of Christ-communion began. Little did I know that this was the beginning of the relationship that would unfold into my true spiritual path and destiny.
At first I felt conflicted about my emerging relationship with Christ Jesus because of all that I had experienced as a child with Christianity. But through my relationship with Babaji, I began to realize that the being Jesus had very little, if anything, to do with Christianity. Jesus was a fully-realized, divine being, like many others from the world’s faiths and religions. Christianity is what developed in his wake — it did not exist while Jesus walked the earth. This awareness began to end the conflation, in my mind, of Christ and Christianity, opening my mind and heart to a deeper relationship with Christ Jesus.
As Christ Jesus begins to make his presence known to more people on this planet, many experience the same kind of confusion I did. Many people left Christianity for the same reasons Karen and I did. Christianity has a very long and painful shadow, involving bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and war. No wonder so many have turned away from Christianity! A review of Christ’s words in the New Testament quickly reveals that he embodied infinite love, was free of all judgment, and embraced all beings. None of the shadow of Christianity was ever cast by the being in whose name it was created. I write this in the spirit of helping those who are drawn to this article and are being called by Christ. Hopefully they will avoid some of the conflict and resistance that we went through.
Christ Jesus and the universal Christ Presence are coming to so many beings on this planet now to assist them to rapidly awaken and realize their true eternal, divine nature, just as Jesus did. Jesus does not present himself as a religious figure, but as a spiritual master, similar to the sat guru. A Sat guru is a soul who is fully Self Realized, living in Oneness with the God/The Absolute. They have reached the pinnacle of spiritual realization and thus are capable of directly transmitting that state to others through grace. There goal is to assist others to realize that they too are divine beings.

In the West, few of us have any kind of context for this kind of relationship. Only those that have had relationships with gurus and spiritual masters from other traditions can fully grasp how to engage such a relationship. That is the possibility that I would hope to communicate through this article.
Jesus became a fully enlightened, God- and Self-realized being, who achieved the highest possible states of spiritual realization as demonstrated by the resurrection and the ascension. He achieved all that is possible on the spiritual journey and has become a wayshower and icon of possibility. As a Christ, he is here to function as a “sat guru” and more; a source of guidance, profound spiritual blessing-grace, and a transformative awakening power that is unparalleled.
His only and greatest purpose is to help us to awaken to the same a level of realization that he achieved. This is evidenced by his proclamation that “Greater works than these shall ye do.” This is what the Second Coming is all about. As awakening souls, we are central to that, as we more fully embody the living Christ Presence that emanates from Jesus and all fully-realized beings.
It is our turn now to step onto the path of the Universal Christ and dedicate our lives to this final and ultimate goal of the human soul experience. The being Jesus, or Yeshua, as I know him, is offering himself as a sat guru to guide us into this realization. This is the framework in which we can accept him into our lives. Understanding and engaging a relationship with the Christ on this basis may be the fastest, most direct path of realization available, and certainly so if this being has come to you.
In the next series of blog posts, we will discuss the nature of the Sat Guru Christ relationship and how to engage it. We will also explore the things that you might experience along the way and how to address them.
If you have enjoyed this article, we ask you to consider reading the third book in our Birthing the Luminous Self Trilogy, We Are the Awakening Christ. Everything presented in this article, and much more, is elaborated upon in this book. It is a chronicle of our experience of coming into deep communion with Christ as our teacher and sat guru, and the many amazing experiences and realizations that ensued.
