Great people throughout history have sought to raise the integrity of human culture.
Moses was one such man. His courageous leadership during the Exodus and his gift
of the Ten Commandments remain unequaled.
Susanne: We are honored, dear Moses, to have you with us today.
Moses: The honor is all mine. I am here to impart age-old wisdom. It begins with
the need to build a firm foundation in your heart by knowing the love of God and
yielding to his guidance.
S: How were you able to realize this during your life as Moses? It seems that in
today’s fast-paced world, God is a low priority.
M: Some people think that during earlier civilizations life was simpler and less
stressful. Surely, then, it must have been easier to devote oneself to God. The truth
is that although people may have changed their surroundings over the centuries, a
stubborn arrogance and lack of faith in the existence of a supreme being has remained
intact. I lived during a time in which people were questioning their spiritual existence.
Have the questions changed significantly? I think not. Yet now, as before, the opportunity
to align oneself with higher principles exists. During the early Egyptian period,
leaders in power claimed that only they knew what was right for the people. Similar
attitudes prevail today. I do not say this to discourage you. No, I tell you this
so you can see that you have the option to follow your heart and walk upon the true
path of God.
S: Did you see God in the form of a man when you received the Ten Commandments?
M: I was able to see God in everything: in every human, animal, mountain, tree, and
river. God is All That Is. It was not necessary for him to come to me in human form.
I received the new laws from God and his messengers through my daily meditations
and prayer. I was no different from any of you. I offered myself in service to our
Lord, and I am grateful to have played the role I did. I listened to my inner voice
— “the quiet voice within” — and I remained open to the signs placed in my path.
It was an immense duty. Serving the Lord by serving others is always a formidable
goal, though it does get easier as one becomes more willing to do the work required.
My brother Aaron and I led an exiled population into the Promised Land. Yet, our
greatest task was convincing everyone to cooperate. This remains a dilemma for today.
S: How were you able to perform the miracles that you did?
M: A miracle is a rare occurrence that can only be explained by God’s intervention.
When we have complete faith that we are all instruments of the Lord, he can express
himself through us in remarkable ways. One of my tasks in that lifetime was to remind
everyone of the existence of a single, omnipotent being — a just God for all people,
the one God spoken of by Abraham. Pharaoh refused to listen to reason, so it became
necessary to convince him of the fallacy of his ways by creating plague after plague
until the truth could no longer be denied. I did not like that Pharaoh and his people
had to be convinced in this manner, but my devotion to God was, and still is, much
greater than any doubts and fears I may have experienced. The “parting of the Red
Sea” was another miracle performed by God through me. Although it allowed our frightened
group of former slaves to escape, it served another purpose as well, re-instilling
unwavering confidence in a righteous God. Miracles such as these will no longer be
necessary when doubt is replaced by faith and when the love of God is elevated to
its rightful place within the hearts of people everywhere.
S: Have you had any other earth lives since your life as Moses?
M: Yes, just one. I returned to the earth and incarnated for a brief period of time
as Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon faith. Once again I was leading a people who
sought to worship God in their own way. Although some of the Mormon teachings have
since been distorted, followers who remain true to the inner precepts of the church
still practice the essence of what I taught.
S: Again, we are grateful for your coming forth.
M: I bestow my blessings upon each and every one of you. Listen to the messages that
are deep inside. Feel the true spirit that springs forth from a “burning” desire
to be at One with All That Is. Amen.
