Gina Lake has been a channel since 1986 and a nondual spiritual teacher since 1999, after having a spiritual awakening. She is also the author of over twenty-five books. She has a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and over thirty years’ experience supporting people in their spiritual growth.After a further spiritual deepening in 2012, Mother Mary, Jesus, and a circle of Ascended Masters made contact with her, and Jesus began dictating books through her. These teachings from Jesus are nondual (Oneness) teachings, based on universal truth, not on any religion. They are messages of love and peace and how to be an expression of that in your life.Then in 2017, at the request of Jesus, Gina and her husband, who is also a nondual spiritual teacher, began offering Christ Consciousness Transmissions to groups online in weekly meetings and monthly intensives. These energy transmissions are a direct current of love and healing that accelerate one’s spiritual evolution.Gina Lake’s website: http://www.RadicalHappiness.comYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/GinaLakeChannelingJesus

Preface
This is another in a series of books dictated to Gina Lake by the one you have known as Jesus the Christ. I, Jesus, exist in another dimension and am working with the earth and those devoted to me to bring about a much needed transformation of consciousness. The work that I do would not be possible without my connection to all of you who are dedicated to the message of love and peace that I gave two thousand years ago. This connection allows me to have an influence on individuals and the course of earth’s evolution.
There have always been those walking the earth who lived in a higher state of consciousness than the rest of humanity. I was but one of them. They came, as I did, to uplift humanity. Many people today are hungry for that upliftment, to be closer to God, closer to their own godhood, their innate goodness. The number of people who are capable of experiencing their divinity in human form is greater than ever before, so those of us guiding the planet feel hopeful that a new paradigm can be established on earth in which every human being is respected, loved, and supported.
This heaven on earth will only be possible through the change of heart that happens when people realize that their own minds have kept them imprisoned in hatred and other negative emotions. This book is written to bring about this realization and activate your divine nature so that you may live together in love and peace and no longer harm each other and the planet.
This is an ambitious goal, and I do not attempt it alone, for there are many like myself in other dimensions and in the body who share it. The gentle woman taking down these words is one of them. Please know that I am with every one of you who puts peace and love above all else. Your reading this book is a statement of your intention for this. Peace!

Note from the author: To avoid the awkwardness of having to use hero or heroine,
he or she,
and himself or herself,
I have chosen to use hero
throughout this book and to alternate genders with each chapter.

Chapter 1: The World Is a Stage
Every person is living out a destiny, a life that is designed especially for him or her. And everyone has the opportunity to become the hero of his life. What determines this is not intelligence, good looks, luck, or circumstances but a capacity to view life and oneself within one’s life a certain way.
How you choose to see yourself and life determines your experience of life and whether or not you become that hero. Your perspective is that important. This book is about a perspective that makes it possible to be the hero of your life. It is also about perspectives that produce the opposite so that you can clearly see which ones do not work and reap only suffering, discontentment, and unhappiness.
The hero has a perspective that works and one that can be cultivated by anyone, and which, in fact, is cultivated by life itself. Life has a way of pointing people to a perspective that brings contentment and peace. That pointing is often accomplished through suffering: When your perspective is incorrect and doesn’t match reality, you aren’t happy; when it is, you are happy. Life shows you how to live by teaching you through suffering. So, ultimately, this book is about how to have a happy and fulfilled life.
Every character in a play has a perspective and a script to follow. If you were in a play, you would immerse yourself in your character’s perspective, follow your script, and experience what that character is destined to experience. In real life, you are given a perspective and a script of sorts, but you don’t have to stick with it. If you are scripted to play a victim or a perpetrator, for instance, you can choose to play a hero instead. In real life, you can improvise and alter the script as you go. Although you have a certain destiny and a general script, your lives are not actually scripted.
What I mean by destiny is this: You are here for a reason, a purpose. You are here to grow, learn, create, explore life, develop your talents, share your gifts, and learn to love. This is the general curriculum of life, and each person has his or her specific version of it—a more specific destiny. Each of you learns and develops in a way that is unique to you, and that is your specific destiny. Everyone accomplishes this general curriculum at his or her own pace.
You are naturally motivated to develop yourselves, learn, grow, love, create, and join with others. To not do these things would not be human. So, you cannot not do what you came here to do. You cannot not fulfill your general destiny. The only question is whether you will enjoy your life and flourish or go kicking and screaming through it. And why would anyone do the latter? Indeed, it sounds absurd that anyone would resist growing, learning, loving, creating, and developing oneself.
The explanation for this resistance to life is that something else has been built into the human machinery besides these positive drives for learning and expansion: an ego. You could say that the ego is the villain in the human drama, since the ego provides the greatest challenge to human happiness. The ego, which is driven by fear, greed, selfishness, and a sense of never having enough, rails against reality, misperceives life, and thus makes poor choices, which cause the suffering that is the grist for human evolution.
To overcome the trials of the human journey, you, the hero, must clear away the ego’s misperceptions, see through its lies, and cultivate your innate resources. Overcoming the challenges presented by the ego develops and strengthens the hero. Eventually, over many lifetimes, the hero gains mastery over the emotions and negative states generated by the ego, and he develops wisdom, discernment, fearlessness, compassion, and kindness, among other positive qualities. The physical challenges of life also accomplish this, but the ego creates necessary internal challenges that equally hone the hero’s character and make him all that he can be.
In dealing with difficulties, the hero is made strong and is reconnected with his divine nature. Challenges draw forth and develop qualities of character the hero didn’t know he had, which are the gifts hidden in the challenge. Life’s trials test your (the ego’s) false identities, desires, and beliefs and force you to face the ego’s fears, which is why the false self cannot survive life’s challenges. The ego is the dragon within each of you, which is eventually conquered through life’s trials.
The hero’s journey—this human life—is a search for and discovery of the greatest treasure of all: the gifts of your true nature. These gifts are your birthright, but they have been hidden from you, kept from you by the ego. These gifts are the wisdom, love, peace, courage, strength, and joy that reside at your core.
The ego, as I am using the word, is the programmed aspect of the human being that causes you to feel separate, fearful, lacking, and at odds and in competition with life and others. The ego is a sense of self that feels small, limited, afraid, and combative. The ego is who you are programmed to believe you are, and it is represented by the stream of thoughts that flows through your mind on a nearly continual basis. This thought-stream is primarily about yourself or about others in relation to you.
You need a sense of self to function in the world as an individual, and for that, you can be grateful to the ego. However, you don’t need the stream of thoughts about yourself, nor the ego’s negative and limiting definitions of yourself, nor its opposition to the way things are.
Contrary to the ego’s perceptions, life is not supposed to be different than the way it is. You are not lacking anything you need to be happy. You do not need to be afraid of life. Life does not have to be a struggle. Life is not a competition. Life is not about getting more things and more power. You are not actually separate from others or from life, although it does seem that way. The ego’s perspective does not reflect reality, which is why it causes suffering.
Believing things that aren’t true gets you into trouble, doesn’t it? It is easy enough to see this: If you believe a map that is incorrect, you’ll get lost. Or if you believe your brother is out to get you when he isn’t, that will cause problems between you. Any actions you take in relation to him will be ill-informed and inappropriate. To function well, to survive, and especially to thrive, you need accurate information about reality. But you won’t get that from the ego. It has its own perspective and agenda, which is often self-defeating and counter to your happiness.
The ego belongs to the conditioned self, which includes, as the name implies, various kinds of programming and conditioning. Some of this is helpful and true and some is not. Your programming and conditioning is intended to help you function and survive, and some of it does, but some of it does the opposite! What a dilemma. Did you know that your software is significantly flawed? That is part of the problem.
Most people don’t know that the software running them is flawed. They don’t realize that their ego’s map of reality is incorrect and therefore the cause of foolish and hurtful actions and poor solutions. If people questioned this stream of thoughts, this would become apparent, but people don’t usually question their thoughts.
People also often don’t question the information they have acquired along the way from seemingly reliable sources, such as parents, teachers, and other authorities, much of which is also untrue, unhelpful, outdated, or irrelevant. These mistaken ideas and untrue and negative beliefs, which have become part of your programming, now seem absolutely and unquestionably true. People are programmed to believe things about themselves, others, and life that simply aren’t true. So, in addition to a maladaptive ego, misinformation, which is another very poor map of reality, is also part of the conditioned self and, consequently, the thought-stream.
Misinformation and mistaken and limiting beliefs make up the greater part of the conditioning that shows up in the thought-stream. This conditioning, along with many unconscious beliefs, was shaped by people you have
