The True Christ Is Universal.

For you. For all.

Feb 08, 2026

Note: I wrote this a couple months ago, edited it lightly just now, and felt like sharing it with you. It feels somewhat more ungrounded than where I presently am, but I still find it a deeply resonant, beautiful, and moving contribution.

I Love Jesus Christ Beyond Words, Understanding, or Reckoning.

I Adore The All-Present Light Of Christ.

I deeply honor my ancestral Catholic and Christian traditions.

I’ve written previously of the ‘egregore’ of Christianity — the ways in which this manmade institution harbors a dense shadow.

I sense many of us are called now to move beyond this shadow.

The word “Catholic” comes from the Greek katholikos (καθολικός), which literally means “universal” or “according to the whole.”

I find it fitting and fascinating that I was raised Catholic, for in this deep and cosmic sense, I am truly a Catholic.

A Catholic of the Universal Christ.

The Christ who is everywhere Present.

The Christ who is the omnipresent Home of All.

The Personal and Suprapersonal Christ who shines forth as All That Is.

Who is the Love in all our Hearts.

Who is “all in all”—present in all religions, all traditions, all approaches, all cultures, all worlds, all universes, all histories, all beings.

The Christ who is the Light of the Forever Beyond.

The Christ who is Holy of Holies, Mystery of Mysteries, Treasure of Treasures, Heart of Hearts.

The Christ Who Is Father And Mother Of All.

The Christ who is unspeakably Personal.

The Christ who is also Transcendent, Suprapersonal, Beyond All Categories Or Descriptions.

The Christ who is both nameless and who has been given many names.

The Christ in whom All Is Heaven and hells are but temporary purifications.

The Christ who saves even the Saurons, Voldemorts, Satans, and demons.

The Christ who is Universal Salvation And Redemption Now, For All Beings.

The Christ in whom None Are Forgotten And All Is Forgiven.

Jesus Christ who incarnated on Earth in an act of self-emptying Love.

This Christ I affirm and this Christ I would die for.

Tears come as I write these words, attesting to veracity.

Veritas: Truth.

Truth Is Being.

Being. Now.

None are locked out of the Kingdom.

“Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Seek and ye shall find.”

All are enfolded. All are held.

He is with you now. She is with you now. He is for you. She is for you.

I experience Jesus Christ as a Pure, Direct Emanation Of The Omniversal Christ.

A Living Word, A Living Tongue, A Living Song, Breathed From The Heart Of Hearts — A Loving Translation Of Pure Mystery Into A Personal Language We Can Understand And Connect To Through Our Sacramental Humanity.

I experience Jesus as One with the Inmost Heart of the Universal Christ.

The Inmost Grace-Filled Heart of God.

I experience all beings as children of God — non-separate emanations of Holy Spirit.

“In Him we live, move, and have our Being.”

In Her we live, move, and have our Being.

In That we live, move, and have our Being.

Thou Art That.

In the Name of the Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Holy Spirit.

Hallelujah.

Amen.

Universal Religion.

These words have given expression to the true inner spirit of ‘my’ religion.

I humbly suggest that there is a universal religion that expresses itself through all that is.

We are all living this universal sacrament and there is no way not to live it.

In a deep sense, there is no way to fall ‘off the path.’

Life is the path.

Reality is the universal religion.

All beings belong to the same universal family.

Christ is another word for All-Encompassing Reality Itself — as well as the Inmost Loving Heart Of Reality.

All is Christ.

Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, atheism, shamanism, and so forth — all these are emanations of the One Christ.

All of life is an emanation of the One Christ.

Though we may draw an apt metaphor in stating that not all expressions of life are equally Transparent to Christ.

Our world in general is deeply ill: Opaque to Christ.

Mankind murdered 100,000,000 of our own human brothers and sisters in the 20th century alone. We continue to murder each other en masse — and we torture and kill ~hundreds of billions of innocent non-human family members every year.

These are the only historical facts one needs to know, in order to understand that our species is presently non-sane, non-lucid, afflicted with a deep amnesia.

I state this as a pure observation, with love for all.

We are as we are.

Larger cosmic cycles of forgetfulness and remembrance ripple through our Gaian sphere. These cyclical journeys contain deep mysteries. Without the cage, there is no liberation. Without the illness, there is no healing. Sacramental lessons are being imprinted upon our souls through these ponderous turnings of timeless time.

We are learning how to Love.

We are now invited to become Transparent.

Many people sense that the insanity of our world is intensifying.

I would suggest that this is not so. The insanity has been there for quite some time. It is simply now becoming more visible to larger segments of the populace, many of whom have been insulated from it.

People look for immediate ‘political’ solutions to this insanity — and surely there is plenty of good that can be accomplished through activism and public service.

Yet in order to go to the true root of our afflictive insanity, requires something much deeper than ‘politics.’ What is required is for us to Remember and become Transparent to the Universal Christ — the Universal Love of the Heart of Hearts.

Call it what you will: Tao. Brahman. Source Fire. The Inmost Inferno. Diamond Heart of Buddha-Nature. Wellspring of All. Mother. Father. Nameless All.

“God is the ever-present liberating power of Love,” as my friend Michael Safley, a priest, has beautifully stated.

The True Christ is all-present and all-embracing.

This Christ is the Light Of Being Itself: The very fabric, the very substrate, of all experience. While also being forever beyond Being and beyond all categories.

The True Christ is also a pattern, a way, a Logos. When we align with this ‘narrow way’ of universal Love, we align with the end of war and the flowering of cosmic harmony.

Mystics, sages, and shamans since time immemorial have pointed to this.

It can be evoked poetically, yet it cannot truly be said, for it is far beyond words.

“The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao,” as master Lao Tzu wisely stated a few thousand years ago.

We are invited to become Transparent to what is All-Present and Unsayable.

I have written at great length about how to discover this Omnipresence for yourself, so I won’t go into it too deeply here. Some of the greatest books/writings/audios for guiding this discovery are those of Jesus Christ, Cynthia Bourgeault, Peter Brown, John Astin, Eckhart Tolle, Dena Evans, and Joan Tollifson.

To distill the most direct teachings briefly: Drop all opinions, descriptions, definitions, beliefs, and open to Immediate Presence Now as a Living Miracle. Open to it non-conceptually, through full-body listening, and let This Miracle reveal itself to you.

“Ye must become like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven,” as Jesus put it.

We must become fresh. New. Blank. Beginner’s mind. Open to pure wonder. Open to pure revelation beyond all belief.

That is when Grace is finally able to reveal Herself to us. She is always here, all around us, living as us and through us, waiting patiently for us to listen.

“Be still and know that I am God.”

If we all suddenly stopped and were completely still, all wars would end.

We are invited to drop all resistance so as to merge and melt back into That Which We Are. Then we come to see all beings and all of life as our own children, brothers, and sisters.

This is the true solution to the insanity that plagues our earthly family.

This is the end of violence: To truly see that “we are many parts, we are all one Body.”

Lao Tzu again speaks gorgeously from across the ages: “He who loves the Earth as his own body is fit to rule the empire.”

And if we all come to love the Earth and cosmos as our own body, there will be no more despotic empires. No more conquests. No more cruelty toward children of God.

There will be Peace.

Hallelujah.

Amen.

…

And remember: This Peace Is Here Now.

This Peace Is Christ.

This Peace Is Pure Presence.

Find this Peace for yourself.

It is the greatest gift you can give to your family, to this world, to all beings.

Realize Peace Now.

Hallelujah.

Amen.
