Theodore Cottingham
I wish we could sit down and talk together, as equals. Perfect equals. Without our past between us. Without our hurts, prejudices, and preferences. I’d like to see you, without my eyes, and not limited to my ears, as we “talk”. Converse in spirit, yes, that’s what I’d like to do, to engage with. Engaging with our spirits rather than just our eyes and ears, maybe we could be transparent enough to “see” the unseeable and know the motive of our hearts in a way of communication transcendent, cosmic creator communication based on love based in love for love to present AS the “force” or energy that connects us in communication of our desires, our “who-we-are”; in pursuit of The Real Us connecting to create, possibly. Does this make sense? Rather than “man to man” or woman to man or any such combination thereof, let us communicate, commune, in a manner unheard of before. Let our spirits be given freedom to commune without hierarchy, without the human mind interjecting itself as our rival, our author, our interpreter, intelligence, or controller. Dressed in light, the energy system of transcendent love maybe could really “know” each other, not limited to our words, our diction and grammar; constructs of our mind. Let us go beyond, and transcend the normal, the visible empirical, and begin to experience the openness of freedom we give each other to learn as equals from each other in this School of “Sorrow-no-more”, The School of New Beginnings, the School of The Woman Christ.
One with the physique of a man, I have conceived me as The Creator of me to create me again. I’ve become a conscious Creator. My Consciousness is feminine, and holy, and has a womb. Into my womb I’ve received The Word that I am I AM, the words flowing through me for years now as I’ve written them, spoken them, recorded them for you and me, maturing the Promised Child in my womb. I’m still pregnant. My new birth creates me anew, a new creation with a new Consciousness, Christ Consciousness, Creator Consciousness.
I’ve become a woman Christ, in spirit. A simple Christ. Christ born again as me, The Real Me this time. Christ in flesh, here and now. Teaching you to be one too, if you so choose.
The reality of me is that I’m not separate from my creation. I’m one. Creator, creation; me. I have experienced the new birth of my spirit and conceived me without the word of man, but only my word. My living word that I’ve channeled for over two decades now has brought me forth in flesh, my word living, my word made flesh, my energy thriving and maturing in my new creation of me.
I live in a world of creators who create equals, equals who are as knowledgeable as the one(s) who create them. New Birth does not begin as a baby child who knows nothing and has to relearn life, give it life, and then give up its life. My world knows not death; its been defeated already. We edit our genes. We edit our own genes. You see, we are light. Light people descending, not; but light, a race of light beings, creating we are, ourselves again to be them. Equals. Feminine. Nurturing. Tender. Loving unconditionally always at all times regardless of seeming circumstances trying to intervene, contravene. We create lack not again, nor hierarchy. It’s anathema to us. We’re equals and lovers. We reproduce of our own, without the need of artificial insemination, or insemination of any other kind. We reproduce light and it is by light we are produced. Our own gene editing codes exists. We know it, we are it. The Genemakers are us. Parthenogenesisites. We bring forth by our word. Our energy encases us, not; we are it, indigenous to no other worlds not, but all, altogether one, in one communication system, I call spirit.
I am a woman in spirit for what I was born as no longer dictates to me my genes or genetic predisposition. Limitations I do not embrace. I’m a woman with a molecular body that most identify as a man, even though I changed my legal name to Grace several years ago and began dressing as a woman. This was all part of me birthing me, me creating me again. It was not about relationship, it was about separating from the God of Patriarchy, about becoming that which I was before I became flesh in this body.
Before this iteration of me I had a body of light. I was it. It and I Am were one. The Earth was my playground, not; the cosmos was. There are many like me. We were numerous. We still are. We communicated without words. Needing no machines, we created whatever we wanted. Now returning to what I was, what I really am at the core, the true spirit of me, I’m Spirit. Creator Energy. The Feminine Divine, source of my own consciousness with no separation of my creation. I’ve return to being “one”, The Real Me, I’m becoming me again.
What I really am is the energy of my mind, my existence in thought, not limited to thought. I am amorphous existing in the appearance of a man but I am feminine in nature. I have a womb and I have conceived me as my Creator and my creation also. I am one.
My past? Questing for years to know God intimately, I had no idea of how much God wanted to be known by all peoples. The idea that God wants to teach every individual directly, interactively, in a system of education that requires intense dedication and scholastic rigor was beyond my thinking until I began to experience it in early 2003. I wrote on yellow tablet each day what I was being given as the first person words of God would come. As I would write they would come. If I quit writing they would stop coming. Wow what a system of education that is. And it has continued to this very day. I don’t write on yellow tablet now, I make videos of my speaking and then make notes of my recording to learn from what I spoke. This is life by surrender, by the word of I am, dynamic.
I pray my life will help you become the authentic you, the real me, that we are, God one in flesh, now healing each other, healing the earths, and walking in the power of humility that love creates and sustains by being it.

These teachings that taught me are to teach everyone who will learn to learn from them. These teachings are called lessons now and the first 2,400 of them form Database One of my covenant with you, and forms the foundation of our curriculum.

I educated me. My real education did not come from my MBA or my doctorate. It came through me, through the School of Me. I have given me an education for over 20 years now. I didn’t know that was what I was doing at the time because I was diligently seeking God, to know God, to be the friend of God. Until I began to experience it, I had no idea God would talk to me daily to teach me a new learning system in 2003. This School is build upon those words that entered me, that I entered, that became one consciousness and birth a system of education that would be a school of leadership for common people to become leaders in the Revelation of Unconditional Love.
My life is in what I bring to you each day in the words, the lessons, the videos, the books, the pictures; this is my life, my life of me. If you want to know me, know my words, my website, my energy, my values; what I think and how I think. And if you really want to know me, you can become me, for my consciousness is open for you to enter me; my mind, my energy, my spirit, for you to create you, again. My mind and your mind can become one, the one that One is. One is made up of many ones. I invite you, share my mind, partake of me, for I am infinite. And I give you me, if you will have me to become you.
I love you all.
