BODHANANDA, ALSO KNOWN AS CHARLES WILLIAMSON, WAS A SPECIAL PERSON AND STUDENT AT RSE. HE HAD A DEDICATION AND PURPOSE OF BECOMING ALL HE COULD BE. WATCHING HIM DO THE SPIRIT DANCE ON THE STAGE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. IF ANYBODY COULD MAKE IT, HE COULD. THEN I HEARD HE PASSED ON JULY 17, 2004. UPON HEARING THIS, I BECAME VERY ANGRY AND UPSET. WHAT WENT WRONG?

LATER THAT DAY WHILE TALKING TO OUR INTERDIMENSIONAL FRIENDS I ASKED THEM, IN MY ANGERED STATE, WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID HE DIE? THEY ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT FROM HIM. I SAID YES.

THANKS TO OUR INTERDIMENSIONAL FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR SETTING UP THIS CONTACT AND TO MARGUERITE FOR CHANNELING THIS MESSAGE FOR JOE AND ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED.

"He" refers to Bodhananda.

He (Bodhananda) is very pleased to be here and have the opportunity to express himself like this.

He said he did not see what he needed to see in this life. He did not see what it was he was supposed to. He only saw an outer image of what he needed to look like or what he needed to be in order to feel good about himself. This was something that came from his parents, that that was all they knew at the time.
He said his parents were poor farmers. They wanted better for him, so they urged him to do and become something better, to have a better life. That's what they thought. And that he did it with what he had as his gifts which was a beautiful body.

He said what he really wanted was to be loved just for what he was. He didn't want to have it feel like he had to be some successful person with an image in order to be loved. He said his parents did the best they could, but they didn't know how to just love him simply for what he is and let him be. He said he wanted someone to just hold him and cradle him and just let him know everything was going to be alright. His parents were simple farmers, they were poor, they were afraid because they were in survival mode.

He said he was afraid he wasn't good enough for God. His parents lived that same way. They thought that when things didn't grow right, when the weather was.. and their farm wasn't abundant, that that was like a punishment from God and so he grew up thinking that if things didn't go well in his life, it was like he wasn't doing it good enough for God.

He said he grew up all his life. He never felt like he was good enough for God. And he said he needed Ramtha to tell him that he was good enough for God.
He said, what it was, is Ramtha took what was his gift, his ability to move his body well, because he was trained as a model, and endeavored to get him to understand that his gifts, whatever his gifts are were good enough for God and he needed to know that. That he was good enough for God with what his gifts were. He didn't have to be something different. That was why he had him up on stage and would have him dance and would praise him. He said that Ramtha is doing that with each of the people that he works with like on staff or whatever. He praises them with where their gifts are. Where there gifts are is what they do well at, at school, and he praises those things and he brings them up because he wants them to understand, it doesn't matter if you don't do all these other things, it's what you are doing individually- what your gifts are- that you are valued for.

It's like grandmother. Her gifts are her ability to have a visionary experience of a dream and finding that and honing right in on her quietness of mind, that she can go right to it, that's her gift! Others have other gifts and they are honored for their individual gifts. Not everybody will be excellent at everything because we're all individuals and it's the individual and whatever their gift is that's honored, and that needs to be done with everyone.

Every person needs to know whatever their individual gifts are, are valuable to the creator, they are valued!

He said he didn't let people into his life close enough to give him the love he needed because he didn't feel worthy. He didn't love himself exactly as he is. He was always trying to prove himself. He didn't realize he didn't have to do all the other things that were there at the ranch or in life. He didn't love himself exactly as he was for his gifts.

He is very passionate right now! He wants to get across to people that it doesn't matter what you have to give in your life-whatever your gifts are, are valuable, they are valuable to the creative impulse, they are valued and we are loved, and we need to love ourselves exactly as we are with the gifts that we have to give.

He's really very wanting to get this through to people!!

He said there is no other message. He said that's the message. It's about every individual loving themselves exactly for what they are and the gifts that they have to give. He said that is the most important message for every person.

JOE: CAN I ASK A QUESTION?

Yes.

JOE: IF HE COULD GO BACK NOW KNOWING WHAT HE KNOWS WHAT WOULD HE DO DIFFERENT AND HOW WOULD HE DO IT?

He said, first of all, he would have honored himself and loved his body and honored the beauty that he had.

What he said was that he didn't know he was beautiful. He had to be told by other people. He never accepted the beauty inside of him, that he was beautiful.

He said what he would do is that he would take the people who are in these professions like models, and he would begin to work with them to love themselves exactly as they are, not that they would change professions, but to look at who they are and love their bodies and to realize their beauty is there, and to accept their own beauty inside- so that they wouldn't have to be receiving it from others - but yet inside are truly feeling unlovely, unbeautiful and not loving themselves.

He says one of the things is that beauty is divine and it is one of the gifts of God. That it does need to be expressed. He says we need to accept it inside of ourselves first, in other words, we have to accept that we are beautiful. The individual needs to accept that.

JOE: THE WAY WE ARE?

Yes. In other words, anybody, that each individual needs to accept that they are beautiful. Beauty is a divine aspect. It's important in life. It's not to be put down because someone is a model and they honor that part of life by using their bodies for beautiful clothes or whatever. This has a value and it is OK and it's good. But what he's saying is that and that includes any of us, the beauty, it needs to be accepted by us inside, that we are beautiful and to honor and love that part of ourselves, not to put it that the only way we can feel beautiful and we really don't feel it, is when somebody tells us, because we really don't feel it, because we haven't accepted it inside. Is that making sense?

JOE: YES.

He feels like he has answered your question.

JOE: JUST TO ADD A LITTLE, SOCIETY HAS PUT UPON US, HE TALKED ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL BODY, SOCIETY HAS PUT UPON PEOPLE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BODY IS AND THERE ARE PEOPLE, MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE BODIES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE BEAUTIFUL CATEGORY. HE IS SAYING THEN THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT OUR BODY LOOKS LIKE. THAT OUR BODY IS BEAUTIFUL. IT'S A GIFT FROM GOD. IT'S US. IT IS THE PART OF US THAT IS EXPRESSING IN THE PHYSICAL AND THAT IT IS BEST FOR US TO LOVE IT AND RESPECT IT THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE IT IS BEAUTIFUL THE WAY IT IS. IS THAT IT?

He said that's exactly it. Because the reason people are not in what they think is the beauty range is because they don't think they're beautiful- they think they're ugly- they think they're fat and their bodies are outpicturing what their beliefs are! But it is also not to go to the extreme, which the models of our society have set up, something that is unrealistic for people.

JOE: CAN I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION?

Yes.

JOE: WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT, HE MENTIONED ABOUT THE GIFTS. THAT HE HAD A GIFT OF BEAUTY. EVERYBODY HAS A GIFT. A PERSON MIGHT BE GOOD WITH NUMBERS, ANOTHER PERSON MIGHT BE ABLE TO DRAW, ANOTHER PERSON MIGHT BE WONDERFUL AT TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN. EVERYBODY HAS THERE GIFT. WAS HE SAYING THAT HONOR OUR GIFTS? LOOK AT THE GIFTS WE HAVE? THEY ARE OUR GIFTS FROM THE DEVINE AND TO USE THEM TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND LOVE THEM AND USE THEM IN SOCIETY AND IN THE WORLD?

He said yes. Honor what you have as your gifts, that which you express the best that gives you joy to express, and express them though in the way that is unique to you. There are things that are similarities, but it is the way that the individual expresses it, that he finds his own way to express it that gives it that uniqueness.

Beauty is - in a beautiful body, people can display and use and honor their bodies, but it can be expressed, such as: an individual, how they wear their clothes, how they do their hair, how they do their makeup, how they bring beauty into their surrounding, their art, that's where the individual comes in. Each one will express it in the way that is unique to them.

JOE: AND TO HONOR THAT AND LOVE OURSELVES FOR THAT. IS THAT CORRECT?

Exactly he said, that is the main thing is to love yourself, find your own way of expressing your gifts and love and honor that as valuable, as unique, and as part of the divine expression. That would be his message for all of humanity.

JOE: WOULD IT BE ALRIGHT WITH HIM IF I PASS THIS ON TO PEOPLE?

He said by all means, he said if he could stand up in front of the school and have them hear him, he would tell them the same thing, every one of them.

JOE: THANK HIM VERY MUCH. I WISH HIM THE BEST.

He says he is very pleased. He's happy now where he is at, and that he is ready for his next journey, and it's going to be a journey of joy - this next part of it!
