Christ

The poor knights of Christ

The poor knights of Christ is what the Knights Templar were called before they were called the Templars.

When people participate in religious services and drink the blood of Christ from a cup, that tradition actually originates from the Cup of Life.

It’s tied to Christ, too.

Just as you heard your soul’s call and we have come together to enter upon this journey to ‘Know Thyself’ more deeply as a living Christ, so did I respond to my heart’s call to enter into the Mount Carmel Mystery School.

It has preserved the lineage that holds the Grail codes of ascension and incarnation through which the Divine Mother brings forth Christ Consciousness during cosmic, solar, and planetary cycles.

Because Arcturus is primarily sixth density, it is often perceived as the Christ or Buddha vibration.

The light can be equated with the future or higher self (Christ self) of an individual.

In addition, this work appears to be derivative of The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ.

In response to inquiries from many friends of "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" for some information regarding the transcriber, we herewith give a short sketch.

His father, Scotch-Welsh descent, was a pioneer preacher among the Disciples of Christ.

The building of the "white city" was "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ." This book was transcribed between the early morning hours of two and six--the absolutely "quiet hours."

The full title of this book is "The Aquarian Age Gospel of Jesus, the Christ of the Piscean Age," and the critical reader is apt to ask a number of pertinent questions concerning it.

4 What is meant by the Christ as the word is used in this book?

5 What relationship existed between Jesus of Nazareth and the Christ?

"The fish, in the opinion of antiquarians generally, is the symbol of Jesus Christ.

In the writings of Tertullian we find this statement: "We are little fishes in Christ our great fish."

The Aquarian Age is pre-eminently a spiritual age, and the spiritual side of the great lessons that Jesus gave to the world may now be comprehended by multitudes of people, for the many are now coming into an advanced stage of spiritual consciousness; so with much propriety this book is called "The Aquarian (or Spiritual) Gospel of Jesus, the Christ."

4. What is Meant by "the Christ," as the Word is Used in This Book?

The word Christ is derived from the Greek word Kristos and means anointed.

The word Christ, per se, does not refer to any particular person; every anointed person is christed.

When the definite article "the" is placed before the word christ a definite personality is indicated, and this personality is none other than a member of the Trinity, the Son who had a glory with the Father-Mother before the worlds were formed.

According to the teachings of all ancient masters this Son is Love; so the Christ is Love, and Love is God, since God is Love.

Another remarkable manuscript found in Levi's Akashic portfolio gives the clearest possible ideal of the Christ, or Love of God.

Before creation was the Christ walked with the Father God and Mother God in Akasha.

"The Christ is son, the only son begotten by Almighty God, the God of Force and God omniscient, God of thought; and Christ is God, the God of Love.

"Without the Christ there was no light.

Through Christ all life was manifest; and so through him all things were done, and naught was done in forming worlds or peopling worlds without the Christ.

"Christ is the Logos of Infinities and through the word alone are Thought and Force made manifest.

"The Son is called the Christ, because the Son, the Love, the universal Love, was set apart, ordained to be creator, Lord, preserver and redeemer of all things, of everything that is, or evermore will be.

"Through Christ, the protoplast, the earth, the plant, the beast, the man, the angel and the cherubim took up their stations on their planes of life.

"Through Christ they are preserved and if they fall it is the Christ who lifts them up; and if they sell themselves to sin the Christ redeems.

"Now Christ, the universal Love, pervades all spaces of infinity, and so there is no end to love.

"To every world and star and moon and sun a master spirit of this Love divine was sent; and all were full anointed with the oil of helpfulness, and each became a Christ.

"All glorious in his majesty is Christ, who spread the pure white robe of Love o'er all the planes of earth--The Christ of earth, its heaven, its graves.

"In course of time the protoplast, the earth, the plant, the beast, the man sold out their birthrights unto sin; but Christ was present to redeem.

"Into the soil of every plane these seeds, which were the Thoughts of God, were cast-the seeds of protoplast, of earth, of plant, of beast, of man, of angel and of cherubim, and they who sowed the seeds, through Christ, ordained that they should grow, and should return at last, by effort of unnumbered years, to the great granary of thought, and each be a perfection of its kind.

"And in the boundless blessedness of Love the man was made the Lord of protoplast of earth, of plant, of beast; and Christ proclaimed: Man shall have full dominion over everything that is upon these planes of life; and it was so.

"But men grew cruel and they lost their power to rule, and protoplast, and earth, and plant and beast became at enmity with man; he lost his heritage; but Christ was present to redeem.

"But man had lost his consciousness of right; he could no longer comprehend the boundlessness of Love; he could see naught but self, and things of self; but Christ was there to seek the lost and save.

"So that he might be close to man in all the ways of life, that man might comprehend the mighty spirit of the Love, the Christ of earth made manifest to human eyes and ears by taking his abode in some pure person, well prepared by many lives to be a fit abiding place of Love.

"Thus Christ made manifest Love's power to save; but, men forgot so soon, and so Christ must manifest again, and then again.

"And ever since man took his place in form of flesh the Christ has been manifest in flesh at first of every age."

5 What relationship existed between Jesus of Nazareth an the Christ?

Orthodox Christian ecclesiastics tell us that Jesus of Nazareth and the Christ were one; that the true name of this remarkable person was Jesus Christ.

The word Christ means "the anointed one," and then it is an official title.

When we say "Jesus the Christ" we refer to the man and to his office; just as we do when we say Edward, the King, or Lincoln, the President.

Edward was not always King, and Lincoln was not always President, and Jesus was not always Christ.

Jesus won his Christship by a strenuous life, and in the Aquarian Gospel, chapter 65, we have a record of the events of his christing, or receiving the degree Christ.

Here is where he was coronated by the highest earth authorities as the Christ-King; properly speaking, 'The Master of Love'; and after this was done he entered at once upon his Judean and Galilean ministry.

"We recognise the facts that Jesus was man and that Christ was God, so that in very truth Jesus the Christ was the God-man of the ages."

"'Men call me Christ, and God has recognised the name; but Christ is not a man.

The Christ is universal Love, and Love is King.

"'This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations overcome, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which the Christ can manifest to men.

Look to the Christ within who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.

Jesus was man; Christ was Divine Love-the Love of God, and after thirty years of strenuous life the man had made his body fit to be the temple of the holy breath and Love took full possession, and John well said when he declared:

"Give heed, O son of man, for men must know the Christ, the Love of God; for Love is sovereign balm for all the wounds of men, the remedy for every ill.

"This age will be an age of splendour and of light, because it is the home age of the Holy Breath; and Holy Breath will testify anew for Christ, the Logos of eternal Love.

"Twelve times in every revolution of the sun this christed Love of God is made full manifest in flesh upon the planes of earth, and you may read in Akasha the wondrous lessons that these Christs have taught to men; but you shall publish not to men the lessons of the Christs of ancient times.

"Write full the story of The Christ who built upon the Solid Rock of yonder circle of the sun-the Christ who men have known as Enoch the Initiate.

"And you may write the story of Melchizedec, the Christ who lived when Abram lived, and pointed out to men the way to life through sacrifice; who gave his life a willing sacrifice for men.

"And you may write the story of the Prince of Peace, The Christ who came as babe in Bethlehem, and travelled every way of life that man must tread.

"These stories of The Christ will be enough, for they contain the true philosophy of life, of death and of the resurrection of the dead.

Aquarian Gospel of Jesus, the Christ, stands unimpeachable.

2 Christ consciousness, or consciousness of Divine Love.

People are frequently found who are completely filled with the Love of God, are far advanced in the science of Christ consciousness, who are absolutely ignorant; have not the slightest conception of the laws of natural things or of spiritual things; are not in rapport with the great Teacher which is the Holy Spirit.

Once blessed in the name of God; twice blessed in the name of Holy Breath; thrice blessed in the name of Christ; for you are worthy, and will bear a son who shall be called Immanuel.16. His name is Jesus, for he saves his people from their sins.17. When Joseph's daily task was done he came, and Mary told him all the words that Gabriel spoke to her, and they rejoiced; for they believed that he, the man of God, had spoken words of truth.18. And Mary went with haste to tell Elizabeth about the promises of Gabriel; together they rejoiced.19. And in the home of Zacharias and Elizabeth did Mary tarry ninety days; then she returned to Nazareth.20. To Zacharias and Elizabeth a son was born, and Zacharias said,21. Most blessed be the name of God, for he has opened up the fount of blessings for his people, Israel.22. His promises are verified; for he has brought to pass the words which holy prophets spoke in olden times.23. And Zacharias looked upon infant John, and said,24. You shall be called the prophet of the Holy One; and you will go before his face, and will prepare his way.25. And you will give a knowledge of salvation unto Israel; and you will preach the gospel of repentance and the blotting out of sins.26. Behold, for soon the Day Star from on high will visit us, to light the way for those who sit within the darkness of the shadow-land, and guide our ways to the feet of peace.

This son is Love whom men have called the Christ.18. Men call the Thought of heaven the Holy Breath.19. And when the Triune God breathed forth, lo, seven Spirits stood before the throne.

He said to Mary and Elizabeth, Our words are said; you need not tarry longer here; the call has come; the way is clear, you may return unto your native land.14. A mighty work is given you to do; you shall direct the minds that will direct the world.15. Your sons are set apart to lead men up to righteous thoughts, and words, and deeds;16. To make men know the sinfulness of sin; to lead them from the adoration of the lower self, and all illusive things, and make them conscious of the self that lives with Christ in God.17. In preparation for their work your sons must walk in many thorny paths.18. Fierce trials and temptations they will meet, like other men; their loads will not be light, and they will weary be, and faint.19. And they will know the pangs of hunger and of thirst; and without cause they will be mocked, imprisoned, scourged.20. To many countries they will go, and at the feet of many masters they will sit, for they must learn like other men.21. But we have said enough.

They only sacrifice that God requires is self.26. Because of this injustice and this cruelty of man to man, the Holy One has spoken of this commonwealth:27. Lo, I will overturn, yes, I will overturn, it shall be overturned, and it shall be no more until he comes whose right it is and I will give it unto him.28. In all the world there is one law of right, and he who breaks that law will suffer grief; for God is just.29. And Israel has gone far astray; has not regarded justice, nor the rights of man, and God demands that Israel shall reform, and turn again to ways of holiness.30. And if our people will not hear the voice of God, lo, nations from afar will come and sack Jerusalem, and tear our temple down, and take our people captive into foreign lands.31. But this will not for ever be; though they be scattered far and wide, and wander here and there among the nations of the earth, like sheep that have no shepherd guide.32. The time will come when God will bring again the captive hosts; for Israel shall return and dwell in peace.33. And after many years our temple our temple shall be built again, and one whom God will honour, one in whom the pure in heart delights will come and glorify the house of God, and reign in righteousness.34. When Jesus had thus said, he stepped aside, and all the people were amazed and said, This surely is the Christ.

He is the Christ of God; is universal love.21. The gate of this dominion is not high, and he who enters it must fall down on his knees.

Jesus passes the seventh brotherhood test, and in the purple room of the temple receives the seventh, the highest degree, THE CHRIST.

In honour of their chosen son we celebrate the great Passover Feast.4. And then he said to Jesus, Brother, man, most excellent of men, in all the temple tests you have won out.5. Six times before the bar of right you have been judged; six times you have received the highest honours man can give; and now you stand prepared to take the last degree.6. Upon your brow I place this diadem, and in the Great Lodge of the heavens and earth you are THE CHRIST.7. This is your Passover rite.

You are a neophyte no more; but now a master mind.8. Now, man can do no more; but God himself will speak, and will confirm your title and degree.9. Go on your way, for you must preach the gospel of good will to men and peace on earth; must open up the prison doors and set the captives free.10. And while the hierophant yet spoke the temple bells rang out; a pure white dove descended from above and sat on Jesus' head.11. And then a voice that shook the very temple said, THIS IS THE CHRIST; and every living creature said, AMEN.12. The great doors of the temple swung ajar; the Logos journeyed on his way a conqueror.

Men only gain the heights by helping others gain the heights.6. The steed that leads the way to spirit life is Love; is pure unselfish Love.7. Matheno wrote the sixth:8. The universal Love of which Apollo speaks is child of Wisdom and of Will divine, and God has sent if forth to earth in flesh that man may know.9. The universal Love of which the sages speak, is Christ.10. The greatest mystery of all times lies in the way that Christ lives in the heart.11. Christ cannot live in clammy dens of carnal things.

The seven battles must be fought, the seven victories won before the carnal things, like fear, and self, emotions and desire, are put away.12. When this is done the Christ will take possession of the soul; the work is done, and man and God are one.13. And Philo wrote the seventh:14. A perfect man!

And this is all.17. And all the sages said, Amen.18. Then Meng-ste said, The Holy One has sent to us a man illumined by the efforts of unnumbered years, to lead the thoughts of men.19. This man, approved by all the master minds of heaven and earth, this man from Galilee, this Jesus, chief of all the sages of the world, we gladly recognise.20. In recognition of this wisdom that he brings to men, we crown him with the Lotus wreath.21. We send him forth with all the blessing of the seven sages of the world.22. Then all the sages laid their hands on Jesus' head, and said with one accord, Praise God!23. For wisdom, honour, glory, power, riches, blessing, strength, are yours, O Christ, for evermore.24. And every living creature said, Amen.25. And then the sages sat in silence seven days.

The harbinger replied,21. Do violence to none; exact no wrongful thing, and be contented with the wages you receive.22. Among the Jews were many who had been waiting for the Christ to come, and they regarded John as Christ.23. But to their questions John replied, In water I do cleanse, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul; but when he comes who is to come, lo, he will cleanse in Holy Breath and purify in fire.24. His fan is in his hand, and he will separate the wheat and chaff; will throw the chaff away, but garner every grain of wheat.

This is the Christ.25. Behold he comes!

And if you need to wash I am not worthy to perform the rite.7. And Jesus said, I come to be a pattern for the sons of men, and what I bid them do, that I must do; and all men must be washed, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul.8. This washing we establish as a rite--baptism rite we call it now, and so it shall be called.9. Your work, prophetic harbinger, is to prepare the way, and to reveal the hidden things.10. The multitudes are ready for the words of life, and I come to be made known by you to all the world, as prophet of the Triune God, and as the chosen one to manifest the Christ to men.11. Then John led Jesus down into the river at the ford and he baptised him in the sacred name of him who sent him forth to manifest the Christ to men.12. And as they came out of the stream, the Holy Breath, in form of dove, came down and sat on Jesus' head.13. A voice from heaven said, This is the well-beloved son of God, the Christ, the love of God made manifest.14. John heard the voice, and understood the message of the voice.15. Now Jesus went his way, and John preached to the multitude.16. As many as confessed their sins, and turned from evil ways to ways of right, the harbinger baptised, symbolic of the blotting of sins by righteousness.

The most devout were Andrew, Simon, James, and John, with Philip and his brother of Bethsaida.2. One day as Andrew, Philip and a son of Zebedee, were talking with the harbinger, the Logos came, and John exclaimed, Behold the Christ!3. And then the three disciples followed Jesus, and he asked, What do you seek?4. And the disciples asked, Where do you live?

And Jesus answered, Come and see.5. And Andrew called his brother Simon, saying, Come with me, for I have found the Christ.6. When Jesus looked in Simon's face he said, Behold a rock!

and Peter is your name.7. And Philip found Nathaniel sitting by a tree, and said, My brother, come with me, for I have found the Christ!

And Philip answered, Come and see.9. When Jesus saw Nathaniel come he said, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile!10. Nathaniel said, How can you speak about me thus?11. And Jesus said, I saw you as you sat beneath the fig tree over there, before your brother called.12. Nathaniel lifted up his hands and said, This surely is the Christ, the king, for whom the harbinger has often testified.13. And John went forth and found his brother James, and brought him to the Christ.14. The six disciples went with Jesus to the place where he abode.15. And Peter said, We long have sought for Christ.

We came from Galilee to John; we thought that he was Christ, but he confessed to us that he was not;16. That he was but the harbinger sent forth to clear the way, and make the pathway easy for the coming king; and when you came he said, Behold the Christ!17. And we would gladly follow where you go.

But men are slow to comprehend this doctrine of the Christ.21. And Peter said, I cannot speak for any other man, but for myself I speak: I will leave all and follow where you lead.22. And then the others spoke and said, You have the words of truth; you came from God, and if we follow in your footsteps we cannot miss the way.23. Then Jesus and the six disciples sat a long, long time in silent thought.

1. The news soon spread abroad that Jesus, king of Israel, had come to Bethany, and all the people of the town came forth to greet the king.2. And Jesus, standing in the midst of them, exclaimed, Behold, indeed, the king has come, but Jesus is not king.3. The kingdom truly is at hand; but men can see it not with carnal eyes; they cannot see the king upon the throne.4. This is the kingdom of the soul; its throne is not an earthly throne; its king is not a man.5. When human kings found kingdoms here, they conquer other kings by force of arms; one kingdom rises on the ruins of another one.6. But when our Father-God sets up the kingdom of the soul, he pours his blessings forth, like rain, upon the thrones of earthly kings who rule in righteousness.7. It is not rule that God would overthrow; his sword is raised against injustice, wantonness and crime.8. Now, while the kings of Rome do justice, and love mercy and walk humbly with their God, the benediction of the Triune God will rest upon them all.9. They need not fear a messenger whom God sends forth to earth.10. I am not sent to sit upon a throne to rule as Cæsar rules; and you may tell the ruler of the Jews that I am not a claimant for his throne.11. Men call me Christ, and God has recognised the name; but Christ is not a man.

The Christ is universal love, and Love is king.12. This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations overcome, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which Christ can manifest to men.13. Then hear, you men of Israel, hear!

Look to the Christ within, who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.14. When you have purified your hearts by faith, the king will enter in, and you will see his face.15. And then the people asked, What must we do that we may make our bodies fit abiding places for the king?16. And Jesus said, Whatever tends to purity in thought, and word, and deed will cleanse the temple of the flesh.17. There are no rules that can apply to all, for men are specialists in sin; each has his own besetting sin,18. And each must study for himself how he can best transmute his tendency to evil things to that of righteousness and love.19. Until men reach the higher plane, and get away from selfishness, this rule will give the best results:20. Do unto other men what you would have them do to you.21. And many of the people said, We know that Jesus is the Christ, the king who was to come, and blessed be his name.22. Now, Jesus and his six disciples turned their faces toward Jerusalem, and many people followed them.23. But Matthew, son of Alpheus, ran on before, and when he reached Jerusalem, he said, Behold the Christines come!

The multitudes came forth to see the king.24. But Jesus did not speak to any one until he reached the temple court, and then he opened up a book and read:25. Behold, I send my messenger, and he will pave the way, and Christ, for whom you wait, will come unto his temple unannounced.

1. Next day as Peter walked about in Nazareth, he met the ruler of the synagogue who asked, Who is this Jesus lately come to Nazareth?2. And Peter said, This Jesus is the Christ of whom our prophets wrote; he is the king of Israel.

I come the Christ of God; I answer unto God alone.8. Who gave you right to ask for proof of my messiahship?

My proof lies in my words and works, and so if you will follow me you will not lack for proof.9. And then the ruler went his way; he asked himself, What manner of a man is this to disregard the ruler of the synagogue?10. The people of the town came out in throngs to see the Christ, and hear him speak; but Jesus said,11. A prophet has no honour in his native town, among his kin.12. I will not speak in Nazareth until the words I speak, and works I do in other towns have won the faith of men.13. Until men know that God has christed me to manifest eternal love.14. Good will to you, my kin; I bless you with a boundless love, and I bespeak for you abundant joy and happiness.15. He said no more, and all the people marvelled much because he would not speak in Nazareth.

There is a king for every man.6. This king is love, and when this love becomes the greatest power in life, it is the Christ; so Christ is king.7. And every one may have this Christ dwell in his soul, as Christ dwells in my soul.8. The body is the temple of the king, and men may call a holy man a king.9. He who will cleanse his mortal form and make it pure, so pure that love and righteousness may dwell unsullied side by side within its walls, is king.10. The kings of earth are clothed in royal robes, and sit in state that men may stand in awe of them.11. A king of heaven may wear a fisher's garb; may sit in mart of trade; may till the soil, or be a gleaner in the field; may be a slave in mortal chains;12. May be adjudged a criminal by men; may languish in a prison cell; may die upon a cross.13. Men seldom see what others truly are.

The human senses sense what seems to be, and that which seems to be and that which is, may be diverse in every way.14. The carnal man beholds the outer man, which is the temple of the king, and worships at his shrine.15. The man of God is pure in heart; he sees the king; he sees with eyes of soul:16. And when he rises to the plane of Christine consciousness, he knows that he himself is king, is love, is Christ, and so is son of God.17. You men of Galilee, prepare to meet your king.18. And Jesus taught the people many lessons as he walked with them beside the sea.

I tell you, no.9. And then he made a scourge of cords and drove the merchants out; he overturned their boards, and threw their money on the floor.10. He opened up the cages of the captive birds, and cut the cords that bound the lambs, and set them free.11. The priests and scribes rushed out, and would have done him harm, but they were driven back; the common people stood in his defence.12. And then the rulers said, Who is this Jesus you call king?13. The people said, He is the Christ of whom our prophets wrote; he is the king who will deliver Israel.14. The rulers said to Jesus, Man, if you be king, or Christ, then show us signs.

Messiah and the Christ are one.18. Because a man claims to be Christ is not a sign that he is Christ.19. A man may cause the streams to flow from flinty rocks; may bring storms at will; may stay tempestuous winds; may heal the sick and raise the dead, and not be sent from God.20. All nature is subservient to the will of man, and evil man, as well as good, have all the powers of mind, and may control the elements.21. The head gives not the proof of true messiahship, for man by means of intellect, can never know of God, nor bring himself to walk in light.22. Messiah lives not in the head, but in the heart, the seat of mercy and of love.23. Messiah never works for selfish gains; he stands above the carnal self; his words and deeds are for the universal good.24. Messiah never tries to be a king, to wear a crown and sit upon an earthly throne.25. The king is earthy, of the earth; Messiah is the man from heaven.26. And then the lawyer asked, Why do you pose as king?27. And Jesus said, No man has ever heard me say that I am king.

I could not sit in Cæsar's place and be the Christ.28. Give unto Cæsar what belongs to him; give unto God the treasures of your heart.

The shepherds recognise Jesus as the Christ.

the lamb of innocence; the dove of peace;10. And it was meet that love should come in human form amid such scenes as these.11. Our father Abraham walked through these vales, and on these very hills he watched his flocks and herds.12. And here it was that one, the Prince of Peace, the king of Salim, came; the Christ in human form; a greater far than Abraham was he.13. And here it was that Abraham gave to this king of Salim, tithes of all he had.14. This Prince of Peace went forth in battle everywhere.

He had no sword; no armour of defence; no weapons of offence;15. And yet he conquered men, and nations trembled at his feet.16. The hosts of Egypt quailed before this sturdy king of right; the kings of Egypt placed their crowns upon his head,17. And gave into his hands the sceptre of all Egypt land, and not a drop of blood was shed, and not a captive placed in chains;18. But everywhere the conqueror threw wide the prison doors and set the captives free.19. And, once again, the Prince of Peace has come, and from these blessed hills he goes again to fight.20. And he is clothed in white; his sword is truth, his shield is faith; his helmet is innocence; his breath is love; his watchword peace.21. But this is not a carnal war; it is not man at war with man; but it is right against the wrong.22. And love is captain, love is warrior, love is armour, love is all, and love shall win.23. And then again the hills of Bethlehem were clothed with light, again the messenger exclaimed,24. Peace, peace on earth, good will to men.25. And Jesus taught the people; healed the sick; revealed the mysteries of the kingdom of the Holy One.26. And many said, He is the Christ; the king who was to come has come; Praise God.

Her home was down in Jericho; her husband was the keeper of an inn; his name was Asher-ben.5. Now, Asher was a Pharisee of strictest mien and thought, and he regarded Jesus with disdain.6. And when his wife confessed her faith in Christ, he drove her from his home.7. But Ruth resisted not; she said, If Jesus is the Christ he knows the way, and I am sure He is the Christ.8. My husband may become enraged and slay my human form; he cannot kill the soul, and in the many mansions of my Fatherland I have a dwelling-place.9. And Ruth told Jesus all; and then she said, What shall I do?10. And Jesus said, Your husband is not willingly at fault; he is devout; he prays to God, our Father-God.11. His zeal for his religion is intense; in this he is sincere; but it has driven him insane, and he believes it right to keep his home unsullied by the heresy of Christ.12. He feels assured that he has done the will of God in driving you away.13. Intolerance is ignorance matured.14. The light will come to him some day, and then he will repay for all your heartaches, griefs and tears.15. And Ruth, you must not think that you are free from blame.16. If you had walked in wisdom's ways, and been content to hold your peace, this grief would not have come to you.17. It takes a long, long time for light to break into the shell of prejudice, and patience is the lesson you have need to learn.18. The constant dropping of the water wears away the hardest stone.19. The sweet and holy incense of a godly life will melt intolerance much quicker than the hottest flame, or hardest blow.20. Just wait a little time, and then go home with sympathy and love.

Talk not of Christ, nor of the kingdom of the Holy One.21. Just life a godly life; refrain from harshness in your speech, and you will lead your husband to the light.22. And it was so.

Come unto me; the Christine gate is opened up; turn from your sins and be baptised, and you shall enter through the gate and see the king.13. The six disciples who had followed Jesus stood a-near, and Jesus led them forth and in the Jordan he baptised them in the name of Christ; and then he said to them,14. My friends, you are the first to enter through the Christine gate into the kingdom of the Holy One.15. As I baptised you in the name of Christ, so you shall, in that sacred name, baptise all men and women who will confess their faith in Christ, and shall renounce their sins.16. And, lo, the multitudes came down, renounced the sins, confessed their faith in Christ, and were baptised.

1. Now, John the harbinger, was at the Salim Springs where water was abundant, and washed the bodies of the people who confessed their sins.2. A Jewish lawyer went to John and said, Has not this man from Galilee, he whom you washed and called the Christ, become your foe?3. They say that he is at the Jordan ford; that he is building up a church, or something else, and that he washes people just as you have done.4. And John replied, This Jesus is indeed the Christ whose was I came to pave.

He is not foe of mine.5. The bridegroom hath the bride; his friends are near, and when they hear his voice they all rejoice.6. The kingdom of the Holy One is bride, and Christ the groom; and I, the harbinger, am full of joy because they proper so abundantly.7. I have performed the work that I was sent to do; the work of Jesus just begins.8. Then turning to the multitudes he said, Christ is the king of righteousness; Christ is the love of God; yea, he is God; one of the holy persons of the Triune God.9. Christ lives in every heart of purity.10. Now, Jesus who is preaching at the Jordan ford, has been subjected to the hardest tests of human life, and he has conquered all the appetites and passions of the carnal man,11. And by the highest court of heaven, has been declared a man of such superior purity and holiness that he can demonstrate the presence of the Christ on earth.12. Lo, love divine, which is the Christ, abides in him, and he is pattern for the race.13. And every man can see in him what every man will be when he has conquered all the passions of the selfish self.14. In water I have washed the bodies of the people who have turned from sin, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul;15. But Jesus bathes for ever in the living waters of the Holy Breath.16. And Jesus comes to bring the saviour of the world to men; Love is the saviour of the world.17. And all who put their trust in Christ, and follow Jesus as a pattern and a guide, have everlasting life.18. But they who do not trust the Christ, and will not purify their hearts so that the Christ can dwell within, can never enter life.

1. Lamaas, priest of Brahm, who was a friend of Jesus when he was in the temple of Jagannath, had heard of Jesus and his mighty works in many lands; and he had left his home and come to Palestine in search of him.2. And as he journeyed towards Jerusalem he heard of John, the harbinger, who was esteemed a prophet of the living God.3. Lamaas found the harbinger at Salim Springs; for many days he was a silent listener to the pungent truths he taught.4. And he was present when the Pharisee told John of Jesus and his mighty works5. He heard the answer of the harbinger; heard him bless the name of Jesus; whom he called the Christ.6. And then he spoke to John; he said, Pray tell me more about this Jesus whom you call the Christ.7. And John replied, this Jesus is the love of God made manifest.8. Lo, men are living on the lower planes--the planes of greed and selfishness; for self they fight; they conquer with the sword.9. In every land the strong enslave and kill the weak.

He preaches boldly in the courts of kings, and everywhere, that victories won by force of arms are crimes;12. That every worthy end may be attained by gentleness and love just as the Prince of Peace, Melchisedec, the priest of God, won gallant victories in war without the shedding of a drop of blood.13. You ask where are the temples of the Christ?

He ministers at shrines not made with hands; his temples are the hearts of holy men who are prepared to see the king.14. The groves of nature are his synagogues; his forum is the world.15. He has no priests dressed up in puppet style to be admired by men; for every son of man is priest of Love.16. When man has purified his heart by faith, he needs no middle man to intercede.17. He is on friendly terms with God; is not afraid of him, and he is able, and is bold enough, to lay his body on the altar of the Lord.18. Thus every man is priest, and is himself a living sacrifice.19. You need not seek the Christ, for when your heart is purified the Christ will come, and will abide with you for evermore.20. And then Lamaas journeyed on; he came to Jesus as he taught beside the ford.21. And Jesus said, Behold the Star of India!22. Lamaas said, Behold the Sun of Righteousness!

And he confessed his faith in Christ, and followed him.

One place is just as sacred as another place.26. The hour has come when men must worship God within the temple of the heart; for God is not within Jerusalem, nor in your holy mount in any way that he is not in every heart.27. Our God is Spirit; they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.28. The woman said, We know that when Messiah comes that he will lead us in the ways of truth.29. And Jesus said, Behold the Christ has come; Messiah speaks to you.

Lift up your eyes and look; the fields are golden with the ripened grain.8. Lo, many sowers have gone forth to sow the seeds of life; the seed has grown; the plants have strengthened in the summer sun; the grain has ripened, and the master calls for men to reap.9. And you shall go out in the fields and reap what other men have sown; but when the reckoning day shall come the sowers and the reapers all together will rejoice.10. And Philip said to Jesus, Stay now your work a time and sit beneath this olive tree and eat a portion of this food; you must be faint for you have eaten naught since early day.11. But Jesus said, I am not faint, for I have food to eat you know not of.12. Then the disciples said among themselves, Who could have brought him aught to eat?13. They did not know that he had power to turn the very ethers into bread.14. And Jesus said, The master of the harvest never sends his reapers forth and feeds them not.15. My Father who has sent me forth into the harvest field of human life will never suffer me to want; and when he calls for you to serve, lo, he will give you food, will clothe and shelter you.16. Then turning to the people of Samaria, he said, Think not it strange that I, a Jew, should speak to you, for I am one with you.17. The universal Christ who was and is, and evermore shall be, is manifest in me; but Christ belongs to every man.18. God scatters forth his blessings with a lavish hand, and he is not more kind to one than to another one of all the creatures of his hand.19. I just came up from Judah's hills, and God's same sun was shining and his flowers were blooming, and in the night his stars were just as bright as they are here.20. God cannot cast a child away; the Jew, the Greek and the Samaritan are equal in his sight.21. And why should men and women fret and quarrel, like children in their plays?22. The lines that separate the sons of men are made of straw, and just a single breath of love would blow them all away.23. The people were amazed at what the stranger said, and many said, The Christ that was to come has surely come.24. And Jesus went with them into the town, and tarried certain days.

1. In Nazareth Jesus taught no more; he went with his disciples up to Cana, where, at a marriage feast, he once turned water into wine.2. And here he met a man of noble birth whose home was in Capernaum, whose son was sick.3. The man had faith in Jesus' power to heal, and when he learned that he had come to Galilee he went in haste to meet him on the way.4. The man met Jesus at the seventh hour, and he entreated him to hasten to Capernaum to save hi son.5. But Jesus did not go; he stood aside in silence for a time, and then he said, Your faith has proved a healing balm; your son is well.6. The man believed and went his way toward Capernaum and as he went he met a servant from his home who said,7. My lord, You need not haste; your son is well.8. The father asked, When did my son begin to mend?9. The servant said, On yesterday about the seventh hour the fever left.10. And then the father knew it was the healing balm that Jesus sent that saved his son.11. In Cana Jesus tarried not he went his way with his disciples to Capernaum, where he secured a spacious house where, with his mother, he could live, where his disciples might repair to hear the Word.12. He called the men who had confessed their faith in him to meet him in his home, which his disciples called, The school of Christ; and when they came he said to them,13. This gospel of the Christ must be proclaimed in all the world.14. This Christine vine will be a mighty vine whose branches will comprise the peoples, tribes and tongues of all the earth.15. I am the vine; twelve men shall be the branches of the stock, and these shall send forth branches everywhere;16. And from among the people who have followed me, the Holy Breath will call the twelve.17. Go now and do your work as you have done your work; but listen for the call.18. Then the disciples went unto their daily tasks, to do their work as they had done, and Jesus went alone into the Hammoth hills to pray.19. Three days and nights he spent communing with the Silent Brotherhood; then, in the power of Holy breath he came to call the twelve.

and Judas followed him.27. And Jesus met a lawyer who heard about the Christine master and had come from Antioch to study in the school of Christ.28. This man was Thomas, man of doubt, and yet a Greek philosopher of culture and of power.29. But Jesus saw in him the lines of faith, and said to him, The masters have a need of men who can interpret law; I go, and you may follow me.

1. Now, on the day before the Sabbath day, the twelve disciples who had received the call were met with one accord in Jesus' home.2. And Jesus said to them, This is the day to consecrate yourselves unto the work of God; so let us pray.3. Turn from the outer to the inner self; close all the doors of carnal self and wait.4. The Holy Breath will fill this place, and you will be baptised in Holy Breath.5. And then they prayed; alight more brilliant than the noonday sun filled all the room, and tongues of flame from every head rose high in air.6. The atmosphere of Galilee was set astir; a sound like distant thunder rolled above Capernaum, and men heard songs, as though ten thousand angels joined in full accord.7. And then the twelve disciples heard a voice, a still, small voice, and just one word was said, a word they dared not speak; it was the Sacred name of God.8. And Jesus said to them, By this omnific Word you may control the elements, and all the powers of air.9. And when within your souls you speak this Word, you have the keys of life and death; of things that are; of things that were; of things that are to be.10. Behold you are the twelve great branches of the Christine vine; the twelve foundation stones; the twelve apostles of the Christ.11. As lambs I sent you forth among wild beasts; but the omnific Word will be your buckler and your shield.12. And then again the air was filled with song, and every living creature seemed to say, Praise God!

1. The Christine master disappeared; no one saw him go, and Peter, James and John set forth to search for him; they found him at his trysting-place out on the Hammoth hills.2. And Peter said, The city of Capernaum is wild; the people crowd the streets and every public place is filled.3. The men, the women and the children everywhere are asking for the man who heals by will.4. Your home and our homes are filled with people who are sick; they call for Jesus who is called the Christ.

Go call the other men and let us go.6. And Jesus and the twelve went to Bethsaida where Philip and Nathaniel dwelt; and there they taught.7. The multitudes believed on Christ, confessed their sins and were baptised, and came into the kingdom of the Holy One.8. The Christine master and the twelve went everywhere through all the towns of Galilee, and taught, baptising all who came in faith, and who confessed their sins.9. They opened up blind eyes, unstopped deaf ears, drove forth the evil ones from those obsessed, and healed disease of every kind.10. And they were in Tiberius by the sea, and as they taught a leper came a-near and said, Lord, I believe, and if you will but speak the Word I will be clean.11. And Jesus said to him, I will; be clean.

1. Now, Lazarus was at the feast and Jesus and the twelve; and Ruth and Asher came from Jericho; for Asher was no longer hostile to the Christ.3. And while the guests sat at the board behold a cry, The village is a-fire!

1. And Jesus and the twelve went to the mountain top, and Jesus said,2. Twelve pillars of the church, apostles of the Christ; light-bearers of the sun of life and ministers of God to men:3. In just a little while you must go forth alone, and preach the gospel of the king, first to the Jews and then to all the world.4. And you shall go, not with a scourge of cords to drive; you cannot drive men to the king;5. But you shall go in love and helpfulness and lead the way to right and light.6. Go forth and say, The kingdom is at hand.7. Worthy are the strong in spirit; theirs the kingdom is.8. Worthy are the meek; they shall possess the land.9. Worthy they who hunger and thirst for right; they shall be satisfied.10. Worthy are the merciful; and mercy shall be shown to them.11. Worthy they who gain the mastery of self; they have the key of power.12. Worthy are the pure in heart; and they shall see the king.13. Worthy they who are maligned and wronged because they do the right; their persecutors they shall bless.14. Worthy is the trustful child of faith; he shall sit in the throne of power.15. Be not discouraged when the world shall persecute and call you curst; but rather be exceeding glad.16. The prophets and the seers, and all the good of earth, have been maligned.17. If you are worthy of the crown of life you will be slandered, vilified and curst on earth.18. Rejoice when evil men shall drive you from their ways and cause your name to be a hiss and by-word in the street.19. I say, rejoice; but deal in mercy with the doers of the wrong; they are but children at their play; they know not what they do.20. Rejoice not over fallen foes.

The world speaks not in praise of men who live within the Holy Breath; It speaks in praise of prophets false, and of illusions base.30. You men who walk in Holy Breath are salt, the salt of earth; but if you lose your virtue you are salt in name alone, worth nothing more than dust.31. And you are light; are called to light the world.32. A city on a hill cannot be hid; its lights are seen afar; and while you stand upon the hills of life men see your light and imitate your works and honour God.33. Men do not light a lamp and hide it in a cask; they put it on a stand that it may light the house.34. You are the lamps of God; must not stand in the shade of earth illusions, but in the open, high upon the stand.35. I am not come to nullify the law, nor to destroy; but to fulfil.36. The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms were written in the wisdom of the Holy breath and cannot fail.37. The heavens and earth that are will change and pass away; the word of God is sure; it cannot pass until it shall accomplish that where unto it hath been sent.38. Whoever disregards the law of God and teaches men to do the same, becomes a debtor unto God and cannot see his face until he has returned and paid his debt by sacrifice of life.39. But he who hearkens unto God and keeps his law and does his will on earth, shall rule with Christ.40. The scribes and Pharisees regard the letter of the law; they cannot comprehend the spirit of the law;41. And if your righteousness does not exceed the righteousness of scribe and Pharisee you cannot come into the kingdom of the soul.42. It is not what man does that gives him right to enter through the gates; his pass word is his character and desire is his character.43. The letter of the law deals with the acts of man; the spirit of the law takes note of his desires.

The philosophy of Christ the spirit of the Commandments.

1. The home of Jesus was a school where in the early morning hours the twelve apostles and the foreign priests were taught the secret things of God.2. And there were present priests from China, India, and from Babylon; from Persia, Egypt and from Greece,3. Who came to sit at Jesus' feet to learn the wisdom that he brought to men, that they might teach their people how to live the holy life.4. And Jesus taught them how to teach; he told them of the trials of the way, and how to make these trials serve the race.5. He taught them how to live the holy life that they might conquer death;6. He taught them what the end of mortal life will be, when man has reached the consciousness that he and God are one.7. The after midday hours were given to the multitudes who came to learn the way of life and to be healed; and many did believe and were baptised.8. Now, in his prison by the Bitter Sea the harbinger had heard of all the mighty works that Jesus did.9. His prison life was hard, and he was sore distressed, and he began to doubt.10. And to himself he said, I wonder if this Jesus is the Christ of whom the prophets wrote!11. Was I mistaken in my work?

Was I, indeed, one sent from God to pave the way for him who shall redeem our people, Israel?12. And then he sent some of his friends, who came to see him in his prison cell, up to Capernaum that they might learn about this man, and bring him word.13. The men found Jesus in his home, and said, Behold the harbinger sent us to ask, Are you the Christ?

1. And Jesus looked upon the multitudes who pressed about for selfish gain.2. The men of learning and of wealth, of reputation and of power, were there; but they knew not the Christ.3. Their eyes were blinded by the tinselled glitter of their selfish selves; they could not see the king.4. And though they walked within the light, they groped about in dark--a darkness like the night of death.5. And Jesus cast his eyes to heaven and said,6. I thank thee, Holy One of heaven and earth, that while the light is hidden from the wise and great, it is revealed to babes.7. Then turning to the multitudes he said, I come to you not in the name of man, nor in a strength my own;8. The wisdom and the virtue that I bring to you are from above; they are the wisdom and the virtue of the God whom we adore.9. The words I speak are not my words; I give to you what I receive.10. Come unto me all you who labour and pull heavy loads and I will give you aid.11. Put on the yoke of Christ with me; it does not chafe; it is an easy yoke.12. Together we will pull the load of life with ease; and so rejoice.13. A Pharisee, whose name was Simon, made a feast, and Jesus was the honoured guest.14. And as they sat about the board, a courtesan who had been cured of her desire to sin by what she had received and seen in Jesus' ministry, came uninvited to the feast.15. She brought an alabaster box of costly balm and as the guests reclined she came to Jesus in her joy, because she been freed from sin.16. Her tears fell fast, she kissed his feet, and dried them with her hair, and she anointed them with balm.17. And Simon thought, he did not speak aloud, This man is not a prophet or he would know the kind of woman that approaches him, and would drive her away.18. But Jesus knew his thoughts, and said to him, My host, I have a word to say to you.19. And Simon said, Say on.20. And Jesus said, Sin is a monster of iniquity; it may be small; it may be large; it may be something left undone.21. Behold, one person leads a life of sin and is at last redeemed; another, in a careless mood, forgets to do the things he ought to do but he reforms and is forgiven.

1. Now, many women who possessed much wealth, and abode in other towns of Galilee, implored that Jesus and the twelve, together with the masters from the foreign lands, would thither go and preach and heal.2. Among these anxious ones were Mary Magdalene, who was obsessed by seven homeless spirits of the air, which had been driven out by the Omnific Word which Jesus spoke;3. Susanna, who owned vast estates at Cæsarea-Philippi;4. Johanna, wife of Chuza, one of Herod's court;5. And Rachel from the coast of Tyre;6. And other from beyond the Jordan and the sea of Galilee.7. And they provided ample means and three times seven men went forth.8. They preached the gospel of the Christ and they baptised the multitudes who made confession of their faith; they healed the sick and raised the dead.9. And Jesus wrought and taught from early morn until the day had gone, and then into the night, he did not stop to eat.10. His friends became alarmed lest he should fail from loss of strength, and they laid hold of him and would, by force, have taken him away to a place of rest.11. But he rebuked them not; he said, Have you not read that God will give his angels charge concerning me?12. That they would hold me fast and suffer not that I should come to want?13. I tell you, men, while I am giving out my strength unto these anxious, waiting throngs I find myself at rest within the arms of God,14. Whose blessed messengers bring down to me the bread of life.15. There is a tide just once in human life.16. These people now are willing to receive the truth; their opportunity is now; our opportunity is now,17. And if we do not teach them while we may, the tide will ebb;18. They may not care again to hear the truth; then tell me, Who will bear the guilt?19. And so he taught and healed.20. Among the multitudes were men of every shade of thought.

If you are truly Christ who was to come, then you can surely do what black magicians cannot do.3. Lo, they can talk, and hold the multitudes with words of power; and they can heal the sick and drive the demons out of those obsessed;4. They can control the storms; and fire and earth and air will hear and answer when they speak.5. Now, if you will ascend and from that tower fly across the sea, we will believe that you are sent from God.6. And Jesus said, No black magician ever lived a holy life; you have a demonstration of the Christ-life every day.7. But lo, you evil and adulterous scribes and Pharisees, you cannot see a spirit sign, because your spirit eyes are full of carnal self.8. You seek a sign to please your curiosity.

show us a sign and then we will believe.9. I was not sent to earth to buy up faith as men buy fish and fruit and rubbish in the streets.10. Men seem to think it quite a favour done to me when they confess their faith in me and in the holy Christ.11. What does it matter unto me as man if you believe or disbelieve?12. Faith is not something you can buy with coin; it is not something you can sell for gold.13. Once Mart, a beggar, followed me and cried, Give me a silver piece; then I will believe in you.14. And you are like this beggar man; you offer to exchange your faith for signs.15. But I will give to all the world one sign as surety that the Christ abides with me.16. You all have read the parable of Jonah and the fish, wherein it is recorded that the prophet spent three days and nights within the stomach of the mighty fish, and then came forth.17. The son of man will spend three days and nights within the heart of earth and then come forth again, and men will see and know.18. Behold, the light may be so bright that men cannot see anything.19. The Spirit light has shown so brightly over Galilee that you who hear me now are blind.20. You may have read the words of prophet Azrael; he said, The light shall shine out brightly in the darkness of the night, and men shall comprehend it not.21. That time has come; the light shines forth; you see it not.22. The Queen of Sheba sat in darkest night and still she yearned for light.23. She came to hear the words of wisdom from the lips of Solomon, and she believed;24. And she became a living torch, and when she reached her home, lo, all Arabia was filled with light.25. A greater far than Solomon is here; the Christ is here; the Day Star had risen, and you reject the light.26. And you remember Nineveh, the wicked city of Assyria, which God had marked to be destroyed by shock and flame unless the people turned and walked in ways of right.27. And Jonah raised his voice and said, In forty days shall Nineveh be razed, and her wealth shall be destroyed.28. The people heard and they believed; and they reformed and turned to ways of right, and lo, their city was not razed; was not destroyed.29. You men of Galilee, I tell you that Arabia and Nineveh will testify against you in the judgment day.30. Behold, for every one to whom I speak has in him all the fires of God; but they are lying dead.31. The will is bridled by the flesh desires, and it brings not the ethers of the fires to vibrate into light.32. Look, therefore, to your soul and note, Is not the light within you dark as night?33. There is no breath but Holy Breath that e'er can fan your fires of life into a living flame and make them light.34. And Holy Breath can raise the ethers of the fires to light in none but hearts of purity and love.35. Hear, then, you men of Galilee, Make pure the heart, admit the Holy Breath, and then your bodies will be full of light.36. And like a city on a hill, your light will shine afar, and thus your light may light the way for other men.

1. Now, when the feast was finished Jesus with the foreign masters and the twelve, with Mary, Miriam and a band of loyal women who believed in Christ, went to a place apart to pray.2. And when their silence ended Jesus said, Be on your guard; the leaven of the Pharisees is being thrown in every measure of the meal of life.3. It is a poison that will taint whatever it may touch; and it will blight the soul as sure as fumes of the Diabolos; it is hypocrisy.4. The Pharisees seem fair in speech, but they are diabolical in heart.5. And then they seem to think that thought is something they can lock within themselves.6. They do not seem to know that every thought and wish is photographed and then preserved within the Book of Life to be revealed at any time the masters will.7. That which is thought, or wished, or done in darkest night shall be proclaimed in brightest day;8. That which is whispered in the ear within the secret place shall be made known upon the streets.9. And in the judgment day when all the books are opened up, these men, and every other man, shall be a-judged, not by what they've said or done,10. But by the ways in which they used the thoughts of God, and how the ethers of eternal love were made to serve;11. For men may make these ethers serve the carnal self, or serve the holy self within.12. Behold, these men may kill the body of this flesh; but what of that?

He numbers stars, and suns, and moons;22. He numbers angels, men and every thing below; the birds, the flowers, the trees;23. The very petals of the rose he knows by name, and every one is numbered in his Book of Life;24. And every hair upon your head, and every drop of blood within your veins, he knows by number and by rhythm.25. He hears the birdling's call, the cricket's chirp, the glow worm's song; and not a sparrow falls to earth without his knowledge and consent.26. A sparrow seems a thing of little worth; yea, five of them are worth two farthings in the market place, and yet God cares for every one of them.27. Will he not care much more for you who bear his image in your soul?28. Fear not to make confession of the Christ before the sons of men, and God will own you as his sons and daughters in the presence of the host of heaven.29. If you deny the Christ before the sons of men, then God will not receive you as his own before the hosts of heaven.30. And more I say, Fear not when men shall bring you up before the rulers of the land to answer for your faith.31. Behold, the Holy Breath shall teach you in your hour of need what you should say, and what is best leave unsaid.32. And then the Christines went again to teach the multitudes.

The one about the wheat and tares, especially?2. And Jesus said, God's kingdom is a duality; it has an outer and an inner form.3. As seen by man it is composed of men, of those who make confession of the name of Christ.4. For various reasons various people crowd this outer kingdom of our God.5. The inner kingdom is the kingdom of the soul, the kingdom of the pure in heart.6. The outer kingdom I may well explain in parables.

Might not the priesthood be a benefit to your divine philosophy?6. But Jesus said, You cannot put new wine in ancient skins, for when it purifies itself, lo, it expands; the ancient bottles cannot bear the strain; they burst, and all the wine is lost.7. Men do not mend a worn-out garment with a piece of cloth unworn, which cannot yield to suit the fabric, weak with age, and then a greater rent appears.8. Old wine may be preserved in ancient skins; but new wine calls for bottles new.9. This spirit-truth I bring is to this generation new, and if we put it in the ancient skins of Jewish forms, lo, it will all be lost.10. It must expand; the ancient bottles cannot yield and they would burst.11. Behold the kingdom of the Christ!

1. The Christines prayed in silence seven days; then Jesus called the twelve aside and said,2. Behold, the multitudes have thronged about us everywhere; the people are bewildered; they wander here and there like sheep without a fold.3. They need a shepherd's care; they want a loving hand to lead them to the light.4. The grain is ripe; the harvest is abundant, but the harvesters are few.5. The time is also ripe, and you must go alone through all the villages and towns of Galilee and teach and heal.6. And then he breathed upon the twelve and said, Receive the Holy Breath.7. And then he gave them each the Word of power, and said, By this Omnific Word you shall cast spirits out, shall heal the sick and bring the dead to life again.8. And you shall go not in the way of the Assyrians, nor Greek; you shall not go into Samaria; go only to your brethren of the scattered tribes.9. And as you go proclaim, The kingdom of Christ has come.10. You have abundantly received, and freely you shall give.11. But you must go in faith; provide yourselves no crutch to lean upon.12. Give all your gold and silver to the poor; take not two coats, nor extra shoes; just take your wands.13. You are God's husbandmen and he will never suffer you to want.14. In every place you go search out the men of faith; with them abide until you go from hence.15. You go for me; you act for me.

They who receive and welcome you, receive and welcome me;16. And they who shut their doors against your face, refuse to welcome me.17. If you are not received in kindness in a town, bear not away an evil thought; do not resist.18. An evil thought of any kind will do you harm; will dissipate your power.19. When you are not received with favour, go your way, for there are multitudes of men who want the light.20. Behold, I send you forth as sheep among a pack of wolves; and you must be as wise as serpents and as harmless as the doves.21. In all your language be discreet, for Pharisees and scribes will seek a cause for your arrest in what you say.22. And they will surely find a way by charges false to bring you into court.23. And judges will declare that you are guilty of some crime, and sentence you to scourgings and to prison cells.24. But when you come to stand before the judge, be not afraid; be not disturbed about the way to act, the words to speak.25. The Holy Breath will guide you in that hour, and give the words that you shall speak.26. Of this be full assured; It is not you who speaks; it is the Holy Breath that gives the words and moves the lips.27. The gospel that you preach will not bring peace, but it will stir the multitudes to wrath.28. The carnal man abhors the truth, and he would give his life to crush the tender plant before the harvest time.29. And this will bring confusion in the homes that were the homes of stagnant peace.30. And brother will give brother up to death; the father will stand by and see men execute his child; and in the courts the child will testify against the sire, and gladly see its mother put to death.31. And men will hate you just because you speak the name of Christ.32. Thrice blessed is the man who shall be faithful in this coming day of wrath!33. Go now; when you are persecuted in a place, go seek another place.34. And when you meet a foe too great for you, behold, the son of man is at your door, and he can speak, and all the hosts of heaven will stand in your defence.35. But do not hold your present life in great esteem.36. The time will come when men will take my life; you need not hope to be immune, for they will slay you in the name of God.37. Men call me Beelzebul and they will call you imps.38. Be not afraid of what men say and do; they have no power over soul; they may abuse and may destroy the body of the flesh; but that is all.39. They do not know the God who holds the issues of the soul within his hands, who can destroy the soul.40. The Christ is king to-day, and men must recognise his power.41. He who loves not the Christ, which is the love of God, before all else, can never gain the prize of spirit consciousness.42. And they who love their parents or their children more than they love the Christ can never wear the name of Christ.43. And he who loves his life more than he loves the Christ cannot please God.44. And he who clings to life shall lose his life, while he who gives his life for Christ will save his life.45. When Jesus had thus said he sent the twelve away by twos, and bade them meet him in Capernaum.46. And they went out through all the towns of Galilee and taught and healed in spirit and in power.

1. The Christine master spent a time in prayer and then he called the foreign masters, and he said to them,2. Behold, I sent the twelve apostles unto Israel, but you are sent to all the world.3. Our God is one, is Spirit, and is truth, and every man is dear to him.4. He is the God of every child of India, and the farther east; of Persia, and the farther north; of Greece and Rome and of the farther west; of Egypt and the farther south, and of the mighty lands across the seas, and of the islands of the seas.5. If God would send the bread of life to one and not to all who have arisen to the consciousness of life and can receive the bread of life, then he would be unjust and that would shake the very throne of heaven.6. So he has called you from the seven centres of the world, and he has breathed the breath of wisdom and of power into your souls, and now he sends you forth as bearers of the light of life, apostles of the human race.7. Go on your way, and as you go proclaim the gospel of the Christ.8. And then he breathed upon the masters and he said, Receive the Holy Breath; and then he gave to each the Word of power.9. And each went on his way, and every land was blest.10. Then Jesus went alone across the hills of Galilee and after certain days he reached the coast of Tyre, and in the home of Rachel he abode.11. He did not advertise his coming for he did not come to teach; he would commune with God where he could see the waters of the Mighty Sea.12. But Rachel told the news and multitudes of people thronged her home to see the Lord.13. A Grecian woman of Phenecia came; her daughter was obsessed.

In Lebanon hills and vales, and in its groves he walked in silent thought.25. His earthly mission fast was drawing to a close; he sought for strength, and what he sought he found.26. Mount Hermon stood beyond, and Jesus fain would kneel beside that mountain famed in Hebrew song.27. And then he stood upon Mount Hermon's lofty peaks, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he talked with God.28. And masters of the olden times revealed themselves and long they talked about the kingdom of the Christ;29. about the mighty works that had been done; about the coming conquest of the cross; about the victory over death.30. Then Jesus journeyed on; he went to Cæsarea-Philippi, and in Susanna's home he tarried certain days.31. And then he went through all Decapolis to give encouragement to those who knew him as the Christ, and to prepare them for the day of Calvary.32. And then he went to Gadara, and many friends were there, to welcome him.33. And Chuzas steward of the house of Herod Antipas, was there, and Jesus went aboard the royal ship with him and crossed the sea, and came unto Capernaum.34. And when the people knew that Jesus was at home they came to welcome him.35. In just a little while the twelve apostles came and told the master all about their journey over Galilee.36. They said that by the sacred Word they had done many mighty works; and Jesus said to them, Well done.

you came not for the bread of life;6. You came to gratify your selfish selves; you all were fed the other day across the sea, and you are after more of loaves and fish.7. The food you ate was nourishment for flesh that soon must pass away.8. You men of Galilee, seek not for food that perishes, but seek for food that feeds the soul; and, lo, I bring you food from heaven.9. You ate the flesh of fish, and you were satisfied, and now I bring the flesh of Christ for you to eat that you may live for evermore.10. Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; and then they ate the flesh of quail, and drank the waters of a flowing spring that Moses brought out from the rock; but all of them are dead.11. The manna and the quail were symbols of the flesh of Christ; the waters of the rock were symbols of the blood.12. But, lo, the Christ has come; he is the bread of life that God has given to the world.13. Whoever eats the flesh of Christ and drinks his blood shall never die; and he will hunger nevermore; and he will thirst no more.14. And they who eat this bread of heaven, and drink these waters from the spring of life cannot be lost; these feed the soul, and purify the life.15. Behold, for God has said, When man has purified himself I will exalt him to the throne of power.16. Then Jesus and the twelve went to Capernaum; and Jesus went into the synagogue and taught.17. And when the Jews, who heard him in Gennesaret, were come they said,18. This fellow is beside himself.

We heard him say, I am the bread of life that comes from heaven; and we all know that he is but a man, the son of man, who came from Nazareth; we know his mother, and his other kin.19. And Jesus knew their thoughts; he said to them, Why murmur you, and reason thus among yourselves?20. The Christ is everlasting life; he came from heaven; he has the keys of heaven, and no man enters into heaven except he fills himself with Christ.21. I came in flesh to do the will of God, and, lo, this flesh and blood are filled with Christ; and so I am the living bread that comes from heaven;22. And when you eat this flesh and drink this blood you will have everlasting life; and if you will, you may become the bread of life.23. And many of the people were enraged; they said, How can this man give us his flesh to eat, his blood to drink?24. And his disciples were aggrieved because he said these things, and many turned away and followed him no more.25. They said, This is a fearful thing for him to say, If you eat not my flesh and drink my blood, you cannot enter into life.26. They could not comprehend the parable he spoke.27. And Jesus said, You stumble and you fall before the truth; What will you do when you shall see this flesh and blood transmuted into higher form?28. What will you say when you shall see the son of man ascending on the clouds of heaven?29. What will you say when you shall see the son of man sit on the throne of God?30. The flesh is naught; the spirit is the quickening power.

The spirit does not feed upon the carcasses of animal, or plant.12. God feeds the soul direct from heaven; the bread of life comes from above.13. The air we breathe is charged with Holy Breath, and he will may take this Holy Breath.14. The soul discriminates, and he who wants the life of Christ may breathe it in.

My body will be laid within a tomb in which no flesh has lain, symbolic of the purity of life in death.28. And in the tomb I will remain three days in sweet communion with the Christ, and with my Father-God and Mother-God.29. And then, symbolic of the ascent of the soul to higher life, my flesh within the tomb will disappear;30. Will be transmuted into higher form, and, in the presence of you all, I will ascend to God.31. Then Jesus and the twelve went to a village by the sea.

They consider the personality of Christ.

There are four thousand men, besides the women and the little ones.8. And Jesus said, How many loaves have you?9. They answered, Seven, and some little fish.10. And Jesus said, Go to, and seat the people as you seated them the other day when all the multitudes were fed, in companies of twelve.11. And when the people were sat down in companies of twelve the loaves and fish were brought.12. And Jesus looked to heaven and spoke the Word; and then he broke the seven loaves in little bits, and likewise cut the fish.13. And every bit of bread became a loaf, and every piece of fish became a fish.14. The twelve went forth and gave to every one; the people ate and they were filled; and all the fragments that were left were gathered up, and there were seven baskets full.15. and then the people went their ways, and the twelve took boats and came to Dalmanatha by the sea.16. Here they remained for many days, and Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail;17. About the kingdom of the Christ within the soul; about the power of faith; about the secret of the resurrection of the dead; about immortal life, and how the living may go forth and help the dead.18. And then they went into their boats, and came unto the northern coast of Galilee, and in Chorazin where the kin of Thomas lived, they left their boats and journeyed on.19. They came to Merom, where the crystal waters seem to catch the images of heaven and to reflect the glory of the Lord of hosts.20. And here they tarried certain days in silent thought.21. And then they journeyed on, and came into the land of Cæsarea-Philippi.22. And as they walked and talked among themselves, the master said, What do the people say about the son of man?

Who do they think I am?23. And Matthew said, Some say that you are David come again; some say that you are Enoch, Solomon, or Seth.24. And Andrew said, I heard a ruler of the synagogue exclaim, This man is Jeremiah, for he speaks like Jeremiah wrote.25. Nathaniel said, The foreign masters who were with us for a time, declared that Jesus is Gautama come again.26. James said, I think that most the Jews believe you are the reappearance of Elijah on the earth.27. And John spoke out and said, When we were in Jerusalem I heard a seer exclaim, This Jesus is none other than Melchizedek, the king of peace, who lived about two thousand years ago, and said that he would come again.28. And Thomas said, The Tetrarch Herod thinks that you are John arisen from the dead;29. But then his conscience troubles him; the spirit of the murdered John looms up before him in his dreams, and haunts him as a spectre of the night.30. And Jesus asked, Who do you think I am?31. And Peter said, You are the Christ, the love of God made manifest to men.32. And Jesus said, Thrice blessed are you, Simon, Jonas' son.

You have declared a truth that God has given you.33. You are a rock, and you shall be a pillar in the temple of the Lord of hosts.34. And your confession is the cornerstone of faith, a rock of strength, and on this rock the Church of Christ is built.35. Against it all the powers of hades and of death cannot prevail.36. Behold, I give to you the keys to open up the doors of safety for the sons of men.37. The Holy Breath will come upon you and the ten, and in Jerusalem you shall stand before the nations of the earth, and there proclaim the covenant of God with men.38. And you shall speak the words of Holy Breath, and whatsoever God requires of men as earnest of their faith in Christ, you shall make known.39. Then turning to the twelve he said, What you have heard this day tell not to any man.40. Then Jesus and the twelve went up and were Susanna's guests for many days.

If you would have the benedictions of the Christ, take up your and follow me.3. If you would give your life for selfish self, then you will lose your life.4. If you will give your life in service of your fellow men, then you will save your life.5. This life is but a span, a bauble of to-day.

What would you take in payment for your soul?7. If you would find the spirit life, the life of man in God, then you must walk a narrow way and enter through a narrow gate.8. The way is Christ, the gate is Christ, and you must come up by the way of Christ.

No man comes unto God but by the Christ.9. The kingdom of the Christ will come; yea, some of you who hear me now will not pass through the gates of death until you see the kingdom come in power.10. For seven days the master and the twelve remained in Cæsarea-Philippi.11. Then Jesus, taking Peter, James and John, went forth unto a mountain top to pray.12. And as he prayed a brilliant light appeared; his form became as radiant as a precious stone;13. His face shone like the sun; his garments seemed as white as snow; the son of man became the son of God.14. He was transfigured that the men of earth might see the possibilities of man.15. When first the glory came the three disciples were asleep; a master touched their eyes and said, Awake and see the glory of the Lord.16. And they awoke, and saw the glory of the Lord; and more, they saw the glory of the heavenly world, for they beheld two men from thence stand forth beside the Lord.17. And Peter asked the master who awakened them, Who are these men who stand beside the Lord?18. The master said, These men are Moses and Elijah, who are come that you may know that heaven and earth are one; that masters there and masters here are one.19. The veil that separates the worlds is but an ether veil.

They talked about the coming trial of the Lord;23. About his death, his rest within the tomb; about the wonders of the resurrection morn; the transmutation of his flesh, and his ascension on the clouds of light;24. And all symbolic of the path that every man must tread; symbolic of the way the sons of men become the sons of God.25. The three disciples were amazed, and suddenly the ethers were surcharged with song, and forms as light as air moved all about the mountain top.26. And then from out the glory of the upper world they heard a voice that said,27. This is the son of man, my chosen one to manifest the Christ to men.

and who may heal the sick, and cast the demons out of those obsessed?32. When we were on the way we saw a man who was not one of us cast demons out and heal the sick.33. He did it by the sacred Word and in the name of Christ?

but we forbade him, for he did not walk with us.34. And Jesus said, You sons of men, do you imagine that you own the powers of God?35. And do you think that all the world must wait for you to do the works of God?36. God is not man that he should have a special care for any man, and give him special gifts.37. Forbid not any man to do the works of God.38. There is no man who can pronounce the sacred Word, and in the name of Christ restore the sick, and cast the unclean spirits out, who is not child of God.39. The man of whom you speak is one with us.

Whoever gathers in the grain of heaven is one with us.40. Whoever gives a cup of water in the name of Christ is one with us; so God shall judge.

1. The harvest feast drew near; the twelve went to Jerusalem, but Jesus did not go with them; he tarried in Capernaum.2. Among the multitudes that followed him were many who went not up to the feast; they were not Jews.3. And Jesus called three-score-and -ten of these disciples unto him and said, The kingdom of the Christ is not for Jews alone; it is for every man.4. Lo, I have chosen twelve to preach the gospel, first unto the Jews; and they are Jews.5. Twelve is the number of the Jew and seven the number of the all, including every man.6. God is the ten, the holy Jod.7. When God and man are multiplied we have three-score-and-ten, the number of the brotherhood of man.8. And now I send you forth by twos and twos; not to the Jews alone, but unto every nation under heaven; to Greek and to Assyrian; to the Samaritan; to those beyond the seas; to every man.9. You need not go afar, for men of every land are here and in Samaria.10. Arise and go your way; but go in faith; and take no gold nor silver in your purse; no extra coat or shoes.11. Go in the sacred name; trust God and you will never come to want.12. And let this be your salutation everywhere, Peace be to all; good will to all.13. And if the son of peace be in the house, the door will open wide and you will enter in; and then the holy peace will rest upon that house.14. The seventy in twos went forth; they went into Samaria, and as they went they said, Peace be to all; good will to all!15. Repent and turn from sin, and set your house in order, for a son of man who bears the image of the Christ, will come, and you may see his face.16. They entered every village of Samaria; they preached in Tyre and in Sidon by the sea.

and now he comes and teaches in the temple courts.32. If he is guilty of such monstrous crimes, why do they not take him away in chains?33. And Jesus said, You all know me, and know from whence I came; but you know not the God who sent me here, whose words I speak.34. The multitudes again stood forth in his defence; they said, if this is not the Christ whom God has promised to reveal to men, will he do greater works when he shall come than does this man?35. The Pharisees and ruling priests were angered and they sent their officers to take him e'er he went away.

1. Now, on the last day of the feast when multitudes were in the courtways, Jesus said,2. Whoever is athirst may come to me and drink.3. He who believes in me and in the Christ whom God had sent, may drink the cup of life, and from his inner parts shall streams of living waters flow.4. The Holy Breath will over-shadow him, and he will breathe the Breath, and speak the words, and live the life.5. The people were divided in their views concerning him.

Some said, This man is prophet of the living God.6. And others said, He is Messiah whom our prophets said would come.7. And others said, He cannot be the Christ, for he came down from Galilee; the Christ must come from Bethlehem where David lived.8. Again the priests and Pharisees sent officers to bring him into court to answer for his life; but when the officers returned and brought him not,9. The rulers were enraged and said, Why did you not arrest this man and hale him into court?10. The officers replied, We never heard a man speak like this man speaks.11. In rage the Pharisees stood forth and said, Have you gone mad?

1. The feast was done and Jesus, Peter, James and John were sitting in the temple treasury.2. The nine had gone back to Capernaum.3. The people thronged the temple courts and Jesus said,4. I am the lamp; Christ is the oil of life; the Holy Breath the fire.

As man I could not speak the words of Holy Breath; and then my Father testifies for me.9. The lawyer said, Where does your father live?10. And Jesus said, You know me not or you would know my Father, and if you knew the Father you would know the son, because the Father and the son are one.11. I go my way and you shall find me not; for where I go you cannot come, because you do not know the way.12. You cannot find the way because your hearts are gross, your ears are dull, your eyes are closed.13. The light of life cannot shine through the murky veil that you have drawn about your hearts.14. You do not know the Christ and if the Christ be not within the heart there is no light.15. I come to manifest the Christ to men and you receive me not, and you will dwell in darkness and in the shadow of the grave till you believe the words I speak.16. But you will vilify the son of man, and lift him up and laugh to see him die.17. But then a little light will come and you will know that I am what I am.18. The people did not comprehend the meaning of the words he spoke.19. And then he spoke unto the people who believed in him and said, If you abide in Christ, and Christ abide in you, and if you keep my words within your heart,20. You are the way, you are disciples in the way, and you shall know what is the truth, and truth shall make you free.21. And still the people did not understand; they said, We are the seed of Abraham and are already free; we never were the slaves of any man; why do you say, We shall be free?22. And Jesus said, Do you not know that every one committing sin is slave of sin?

abides in bondage unto sin?23. If you sin not then you are free; but if you sin in thought, or word, or deed, then you are slaves, and naught but truth can set you free; if you are free through Christ, then you are free indeed.24. You are the seed of Abraham, and yet you seek to kill me just because I speak the truth of Abraham.25. You are the children of the flesh of Abraham; but, lo, I say, There is a spiritual Abraham whom you know not.26. In spirit you are children of your father, and your father is Diabolus; you hang upon his words and do his will.27. He was a murderer from the first; he cannot tell the truth, and when he tells a lie he speaks his own; he is himself a lie, and he is father of himself.28. If you were children of my Father-God, then you could hear the words of God; I speak the words of God, but you can bear them not.29. A Pharisee stood forth and said, This fellow is not one of us he is a curst Samaritan and is obsessed.30. But Jesus heeded not the words of Pharisee or scribe; he knew that all the people knew he was a Jew.31. And then he said, Whoever keeps my words shall never die.32. A lawyer said, And now we know he is obsessed.

And so they strove among themselves.36. They asked the man, What do you think about this man from Galilee?37. He said, He is a prophet sent from God.38. Now, many of the Jews did not believe the man was blind from birth; they said, There is no power to open up the eyes of one born blind.39. And then they brought the parents of the man before the Pharisees that they might testify.40. They said, This is our son who was born blind; we do not know how he received his sight; he is of age and he can tell; ask him.41. They were afraid to say what they believed, that Jesus is the Christ who came to manifest the power of God, lest they offend the priests and be cast from the synagogue.42. Again the rulers said, This Jesus is a wicked man.

Is there but one?6. And Jesus said, All men are sons of God by birth; God is the Father of the race; but all are not the sons of God by faith.7. He who attains the victory over self is son of God by faith, and he who speaks to you has overcome, and he is called son of God, because he is the pattern for the sons of men.8. He who believes and does the will of God is son of God by faith.9. The man in joy exclaimed, Lord, I believe in God, and in the son of God.10. And Jesus said, I came to open prison doors, to make the blind to see; but, lo, the Pharisees are blind from birth.11. And when I put the salve of truth upon their eyes, and bid them go and wash, and speak the sacred Word they will not go; they love the dark.12. A multitude of people pressed about the Lord, and he stood forth and said,13. You men of Israel, I say to you, The fold of God is large; its walls are strong, it has a gateway in the east, and he who does not enter by the gate into the fold, but climbs into the fold some other way, is thief and comes to rob.14. The shepherd of the sheep stands by the gate; he gives the secret sign; he knocks; the watchman opens up the gate.15. And then the shepherd calls his sheep by name; they hear his voice and follow him; they enter through the gate into the fold.16. The sheep know not a stranger's voice; they will not follow him; they flee away.17. The people did not understand the parable that Jesus spoke; and then he said,18. Christ is the gateway of the fold; I am the shepherd of the sheep, and he who follows me through Christ shall come into the fold where living waters flow, and where rich pastures are.19. False prophets come and go; they claim to be the shepherds of the sheep; they claim to know the way; but they know not the word of power; the watchman opens not the gate; the sheep heed not their call.20. The shepherd of the sheep will give his life to save the sheep.21. A hireling flees to save his life when wolves infest the fold; and then the tender lambs are snatched away, the sheep are scattered everywhere.22. I am the shepherd of the sheep; I know the sheep of God; they know my voice, as God knows me and I know him.23. The Father loves me with a deathless love, because I lay my life down for the sheep.24. I lay my life down when I will, but I may take it up again; for every son of God by faith has power to lay his mortal flesh aside and take it up again.

These words I have received from God.25. Again the people strove among themselves; they were divided in their views concerning Christ.

You are protected in the way of right, and naught can harm.10. And as you went I heard a master say, Well done.11. But you may not rejoice because you have the power to heal the sick and make the devils tremble by the Word; for such rejoicing is from carnal self.12. You may rejoice because the nations of the earth have ears to hear the Word, and eyes to see the glory of the Lord, and hearts to feel the inner breathing of the Holy Breath.13. And you may well be glad because your names are written in the Book of Life.14. Then Jesus looked to heaven and said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast revealed thyself to babes, and taught them how to light the path and lead the wise to thee.15. What thou hast given to me, lo, I have given to them, and through the sacred Word I have bestowed on them the understanding heart,16. That they might know and honour thee through Christ, who was, and is, and evermore shall be.17. And then he said aside, unto the seventy and twelve, Most blessed are your eyes because you see the things you see;18. And blessed they are your ears because they hear the things they hear;19. And blessed are your hearts because you understand.20. In ages that are gone the wise of earth, the prophets, seers and kings, desired to hear and see and know what you have heard and seen and known; but they had not attained and could not hear, and see and know.21. And Jesus said again, Lo, I have gone before you many moons, and I have given to you the bread of heaven and the cup of life;22. Have been your buckler and your stay; but now that you have learned the way, and have the strength to stand alone, behold, I lay my body down and go to him who is the All.23. In forty days then we will turn our faces towards Jerusalem where I will find the altar of the Lord and give my life in willing sacrifice for men.24. Let us arise and go through all the coasts of Galilee, and give a salutation of good cheer to all the sons of God by faith.25. And they arose and went; they entered every town and village on the coast, and everywhere they said, The benedictions of the Christ abide with you for evermore.26. Now, in a certain town they went up to the synagogue upon the Sabbath day, and Jesus taught.27. And as he spoke, two men brought on a cot a woman bent near double with disease; she had not risen from her bed for eighteen years without a helping hand.28. And Jesus laid his hand upon the woman, and he said, Arise, be free from your infirmity.29. And as he spoke the Word the woman found that she was straight and strong, and she arose and walked and said, Praise God.30. The ruler of the synagogue was filled with wrath because the healer healed upon the Sabbath day.31. He did not censure Jesus face to face, but turning to the multitudes he said,32. You men of Galilee, why do you break the laws of God?

Upon the Sabbath day you take your beasts of burden from their stalls, and lead them forth to eat and drink; is this not work?35. This daughter of your father Abraham, who has been bound for eighteen years, has come in faith to be made free.36. Now, tell me, men, is it a crime to break her bonds and set her free upon the Sabbath day?37. The ruler said no more; the people all rejoiced and said, Behold the Christ!38. And Jesus spoke a parable; he said, The kingdom of the Christ is like a little seed that one put in the ground;39. It grew and after many years became a mighty tree, and many people rested in its shade, and birds built nests and reared their young among its leafy boughs.

1. And Jesus went into another town upon the coast and spoke good words of cheer to those who followed him.2. And one stood forth and said, Lord, are there few that enter into life?3. And Jesus said, The way is rough that leads to life; the gate is narrow and is guarded well; but every one who seeks in faith shall find the way, and they who know the Word may enter in.4. But many seek the way for selfish gain; they pound upon the gate of life; but it is fast.5. The watchman from the turret says, I know you not; your speech is that of Ashdod, and your robes are those of sin; depart and go your way.6. And they will go their way with weeping and with gnashing of the teeth.7. And they will be enraged when they will be enraged when they see their father Abraham with Isaac, Jacob and the prophets, resting in the kingdom of the Christ, and they themselves debarred.8. And, lo, I say that men will come from lands afar, from east, from west, from north, from south and sit with me in consciousness of life.9. Behold, I say, the last shall be the first, the first shall be the last.10. All men are called unto the kingdom of the Christ; but few are chosen, for the pure in heart alone can see the king.11. And as he spoke a Pharisee came up and said, You man of Galilee, if you would save your life remain not here; flee instantly, for Herod swears that he will take your life, and even now his officers are seeking you.12. And Jesus said, Why is it that the Pharisees are so concerned about my life?

The young man who loved wealth more than he loved Christ.

1. Now, Jesus and the twelve went to another town, and as they entered it they said, Peace be to all; good will to all.2. A multitude of people followed and the master said to them, Behold, for you are followers for selfish gain.3. If you would follow me in love, and be disciples of the Holy Breath, and gain at last the crown of life, you must leave all there is of carnal life behind.4. Be not deceived; stay, men, and count the cost.5. If one would build a tower, or a home, he first sits down and counts the cost to be assured that he has gold enough to finish it.6. For well he knows that if he makes a failure of his enterprise he may lose all his wealth, and be the butt of ridicule.7. And if a king desires to take the kingdom of another king, he calls his trusted men and they consider well their strength; he will not measure arms with one of matchless power.8. Count well the cost before you start to follow me; it means the giving up of life, and all you have.9. If you love father, mother, wife, or child, more than love the Christ, you cannot follow me.10. If you follow wealth or honour more than you love the Christ, you cannot follow me.11. The paths of carnal life do not run up the mountain side towards the top; they run around the mount of life, and if you go straight to the upper gate of consciousness you cross the paths of carnal life; tread in them not.12. And this is how men bear the cross; no man can bear another's cross.13. Take up your cross and follow me through Christ into the path of true discipleship; this is the path that leads to life.14. This way of life is called the pearl of greatest price, and he who finds it must put all he has beneath his feet.15. Behold, a man found in a certain field the croppings of a wondrous mine of gold, and he went forth and sold his home and all he had and bought the field; then he rejoiced in wealth.16. Now, there were present, scribes and Pharisees of wealth who loved their money, and their bonds and lands, and they laughed loud to scorn what Jesus said.17. Then Jesus spoke to them and said, You are the men who justify yourselves in sight of men; God knows your wickedness of heart;18. And you must know, O men, that whatsoever is revered and is exalted by the carnal mind, is an abomination in the sight of God.19. And Jesus went his way, and as he went a young man ran and knelt down at his feet and said, Good master, tell me what to do that I may have eternal life.20. And Jesus said, Why do you call me good?

Who can be saved?33. And Jesus said, The rich may give his gold away; the high may kiss the dust, and God will save.34. Then Jesus spoke this parable to them:35. A rich man lived in splendid state; he wore the finest garments men could make; his boards were loaded with the costliest viands of the land.36. A beggar, blind and lame, whose name was Lazarus, was wont to sit beside the waste gate of this home that he might share with dogs the refuse from the rich man's board.37. It came to pass that Lazarus died, and angels carried him away unto the bosom of our father Abraham.38. The rich man also died, and he was buried in a costly tomb; but in the purifying fires he opened up his eyes dissatisfied.39. He looked and saw the beggar resting peacefully in the bosom of his father Abraham, and in the bitterness of his soul he cried,40. My father Abraham, look down in mercy on your son; I am tormented in these flames.41. Send Lazarus, I beseech, that he may give me just a sup of water to cool my parched tongue.42. But Abraham replied, My son, in mortal life, you had the best things of the earth and Lazarus had the worst, and you would not give him a cup of water there, but drove him from your door.43. The law must be fulfilled, and Lazarus now is comforted, and you are paying what you owe.44. Besides, there is a great gulf fixed between your zone and us, and if I would I could not send Lazarus to you, and you cannot come up to us till you have paid your debts.45. Again the man in anguish said, O father Abraham, I pray, send Lazarus back to earth, and to my father's house, that he may tell my brothers who are yet in life, for I have five of them, about the horrors of this place, lest they come down to me and not to you.46. And Abraham replied, They have the words of Moses and the seers, let them hear them.47. The man replied, They will not hearken to the written word; bit if a amn would go up from the grave they might believe.48. But Abraham replied, If they hear not the words of Moses and the seers they would not be persuaded even though one from the dead stood in their midst.49. And Peter said, Lord, we have left our all to follow you; and what is our reward?50. And Jesus said, Most verily I say to you, that you who have left all to follow me shall come into a newness of a life hid deep with Christ in God.51. And you shall sit with me upon the throne of power, and judge with me the tribes of Israel.52. And he who conquers carnal self, and follows me through Christ shall have a hundred fold of that which is the wealth of life on earth, and in the world to come, eternal life.

The man who lusts is an adulterer if he has wife or not.42. And then he said to all, Some things men know by being told, while other things they know not till the gate of consciousness shall open up for them.43. I speak a mystery that now you cannot understand; but you shall some day understand.44. A eunuch is a man who does not lust; some men are eunuchs born, some are eunuchs by the power of men, and some are eunuchs by the Holy Breath, who makes them free in God through Christ.45. He who is able to receive the truth I speak, let him receive.

1. When they had journeyed through the towns and cities of the land of Galilee, the Lord with his disciples came to Tiberius, and here they met a few who loved the name of Christ.2. And Jesus told them many things about the inner life; but when the multitudes came up, he spoke a parable; he said,3. A certain man with great possessions had two sons.

the kingdom is at hand.7. And then he spoke to his disciples and he said, The seasons of the son of man are past.8. The time will come when you will wish above all else to see again one of these days; but you can see it not.9. And many men will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo, there is Christ.

Be not deceived; go not into their ways.10. For when the son of man will come again no man need point the way; for as the lightning lights the heavens, so will the son of man light up the heavens and earth.11. But, lo, I say, that many generations will have come and gone before the son of man shall come in power; but when he comes no one will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo, there.12. But as it was before the flood in Noah's day, so shall it be.

1. The work of Jesus in the land of Galilee was done, and he sent forth a message, and the many came from many towns of Galilee; came to receive a benediction from his hand.2. Among the multitudes who came was Luke, a Syrian from Antioch, a learned physician and a just and upright man.3. Theophilus, a Grecian senator, a minister of Cæsar's court, was also there; and many other men of honour and renown.4. And Miriam sang: All hail the Day Star form on high!5. All hail the Christ who ever was, and is and evermore shall be!6. All hail the darkness of the shadowland!

Amen.17. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,18. My Father-God, let now the benediction of thy love, thy mercy and thy truth rest on these men.19. The lamp is taken from their midst, and if the inner light be not aflame, lo, they must tread the ways of darkness and of death.20. And then he said to all, Farewell21. Then Jesus and his mother, and the twelve, and Miriam and Mary, mother of the two disciples, James and John,22. And many other loyal souls who loved the Christ, went to Jerusalem, that they might celebrate the Jewish feast.23. And as they journeyed on their way they came to Enon Springs, near unto Salim where the harbinger once taught.24. And as they rested by the fountain, Mary, wife of Zebedee, and mother of the two disciples, James and John, came to the master and she said,25. My Lord, I know the kingdom is about to come, and I would ask this boon: Command that these my sons shall sit with you upon the throne, the one upon the right, the other on the left.26. And Jesus said to her, You know not what you ask.27. And then he turned to James and John and said, Are you prepared and are you strong enough to drink the cup that I will drink?28. They said, Yes, master, we are strong enough to follow where you go.29. Then Jesus said, You shall indeed drink of my cup; but I am not the judge of who will sit upon my right or my left.30. The men who live the life and keep the faith will sit upon the throne of power.31. Now, when the apostles heard the pleadings of the mother for her sons, and knew that James and John were seeking special favours from the Lord, they were indignant and they said,32. We surely thought that James and John had risen above the selfish self.

You take these men whom God has given me into your haunts and try to poison them with sophistries and lies, and think that you will snatch them from the fold of God.10. I tell you, men, these men are tried and you can snatch not one of them away.11. My Father who has given them to me is greater than you all, and he and I are one.12. And then the Jews took stones to throw at him and cried, Now we have heard enough; away with him; let him be stoned.13. But Joseph, member of the great Sanhedrim of the Jews, was in the porch and he came forth and said,14. You men of Israel, do nothing rash; throw down those stones; your reason is a better guide than passion in such times as these.15. You do not know your accusations to be true, and if this man should prove himself to be the Christ, and you should take his life, the wrath of God would rest upon you evermore.16. And Jesus said to them, Lo, I have healed your sick, have caused your blind to see, your deaf to hear, your lame to walk, and cast out unclean spirits from your friends;17. For which of these great works would you desire to take my life?18. The Jews replied, We would not stone you for your works of grace, but for your vile, blasphemous words.

Do you believe what I have said?19. And Martha said, Lord, I believe that you are come to manifest the Christ of God.20. The Jesus said, Go back and call aside your sister, and my mother and the prophetess and say that I have come; and I will stay here by the gate till they have come to me.21. And Ruth and Martha did as Jesus bade them do, and in a little while the Marys and the prophetess had met the Lord.22. And Mary said, Why did you tarry thus?

The seed may seem to die, but from its grave the tree arises into life.18. So man may seem to die, but he lives on, and from the grave he springs up into life.19. If you could comprehend the word that Moses spoke about the burning bush that burned and still was not consumed, then you would know that death cannot destroy the life.20. And Moses said that God is God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel.21. God is not God of dead men's bones, but the living man.22. I tell you, men, man goes down to the grave, but he will rise again and manifest the life;23. For every life is hid with Christ in God, and man shall live while God shall live.24. The Pharisees and scribes who heard the Lord, exclaimed, He speaks the truth; and they were glad to have the Sadducees discomfited.25. And then an honest scribe came forth and said to Jesus, Lord, you speak as one whom God has sent, and may I ask,26. Which is the greatest and the first of the Commandments of the Law?27. And Jesus said, The first is Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your strength;28. And you shall love your neighbour as yourself.29. These are the greatest of the ten, and on them hang the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.30. The scribe replied, My soul gives witness that you speak the truth, for love fulfils the law, and far transcends burnt offerings and sacrifice.31. And Jesus said to him, Lo, you have solved a mystery; you are within the kingdom and the kingdom is in you.32. To his disciples Jesus spoke, and all the people heard; he said, Beware you of the scribes and Pharisees who pride themselves in wearing long and richly decorated robes,33. And Love to be saluted in the market place, and seek the highest seats at feasts, and take the hard-earned wages of the poor to satisfy their carnal selves, and pray in public, long and loud.34. These are the wolves who clothe themselves to look like sheep.35. And then he said to all, The scribes and Pharisees are placed by law in Moses' seat, and by the law they interpret law;36. So what they bid you do, that do; but do not imitate their deeds.37. They say the things that Moses taught; they do the things of Beelzebul.38. They talk of mercy, yet they bind on human shoulders burdens grievous to bear.39. They talk of helpfulness, and yet they put not forth the slightest helpful efforts for their brother man.40. They make a show of doing things, and yet they do not anything but show their gaudy robes, and broad phylacteries, and smile when people call them honoured masters of the law.41. They strut about and show their pride when people call them father, so and so.42. Hear, now, you men, Call no man father here.

The God of heaven and earth, and he alone, is Father of the race of men.43. Christ is the hierarch, the high, exalted master of the sons of men.44. If you would be exalted, sit down at the master's feet and serve.

for on your heads will come the blood of all the holy men who have been slain upon the earth.18. From righteous Abel down to Zacharias, son of Barachias, who was slain within the Holy Place before the altar of the Lord.19. Behold, I say that these things all shall come upon this nation and the people of Jerusalem.20. And Jesus looked about and said, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou cruel city of Jerusalem, that slays the prophets in the streets and kills the holy men whom God has sent to you!21. Lo, I would oft have gathered you as children to the fold of God; but you would not.22. You have rejected God, and now your house is desolate, and you shall see me not again till you can say,23. Thrice blessed is the son of man who comes as son of God.24. Then Jesus went and sat beside the treasury and watched the people as they paid their tithes.25. The rich men came and gave of their abundance; and then he saw a poor but loyal widow come and put a farthing in the treasure box.26. And then he said to his disciples who were standing by, Behold, for this poor widow who has put a farthing in the treasury has done more than they all;27. For she has given all she had; the rich have given just a little share of what they have.28. A company of Grecian Jews were at the feast, and they met Philip, who could talk with them, and said, Sir, we would see the Lord, this Jesus, who is called the Christ.29. And Philip led the way, and brought them to the Christ.30. And Jesus said, The hour has come; the son of man is ready to be glorified, and it cannot be otherwise.31. Except a grain of wheat fall into earth and die it can be nothing but a grain of wheat; but if it die it lives again, and from its grave a hundred grains of wheat arise.32. My soul is troubled now; What shall I say?

Others said, An angel spoke to him.39. But Jesus said, This voice was not for me; it was for you, that you might know that I am come from God.40. Now is the judgment of the world at hand; the prince of darkness shall be manifest and go unto his own.41. The son of man will now be lifted up from earth, and he will draw all men unto himself.42. The people said, The law declares that Christ abides for evermore.

Before they come, lo, you shall be maltreated by the scribes and Pharisees, the high priests and the doctors of the law.8. Without a cause you will be haled into courts; you will be stoned; you will be beaten in the synagogues; will stand condemned before the rulers of this world, and governors and kings will sentence you to death.9. But you will falter not, and you will testify for truth and righteousness.10. And in these hours be anxious not about your speech; you need not think of what to say;11. For, lo, the Holy Breath will overshadow you and give you words to say.12. But then the carnage will go on, and men will think that they are pleasing God by killing you, and nations far and near will hate you for the sake of Christ.13. And men will stir up evil thought among your kin, and they will hate you and will give you up to die.14. And brothers will be false to brothers; fathers will stand forth and testify against their own, and children will drive parents to the funeral pile.15. When you shall hear the Roman eagle screaming in the air, and see his legions streaming o'er the plain, then know the desolation of Jerusalem is near.16. Then let the wise wait not, but flee.

Let him who is upon his house wait not to enter in the house to gather up his wealth, but let him flee.17. And he who labours in the field must not return, but leave his all to save his life.18. And woe to mothers with their little children in that day; none shall escape the sword.19. The tribulation of these days cannot be told in words, for such has never been since God created man upon the earth.20. The conqueror will carry many of the sons of Abraham away as captives into foreign lands, and they who know not Israel's God will tread the highways of Jerusalem until the anti-Jewish times have been fulfilled.21. But when the people have been punished for their crimes, the tribulation days will end; but lo, the time will come when all the world will rise, like gladiators in a ring, and fight just for the sake of shedding blood.22. And men will reason not; they will not see, nor care to see a cause for carnage, desolation, thefts; for they will war with friend or foe.23. The very air will seem surcharged with smoke of death; and pestilence will follow close upon the sword.24. And signs that men have never seen will appear in heaven and earth; in sun, and moon, and stars.25. The seas will roar, and sounds will come from heaven that men can never comprehend, and these will bring distress of nations with perplexity.26. Hearts of the strongest men will faint in fear, in expectation of the coming of more frightful things upon the earth.27. But while the conflicts rage on land and sea, the Prince of Peace will stand above the clouds of heaven and say again:28. Peace, peace on earth; good will to men; and every man will throw away his sword, and nations will learn war no more.29. And then the man who bears the pitcher will walk forth across an arc of heaven; the sign and signet of the son of man will stand forth in the eastern sky.30. The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the earth is near.31. Before these days shall come, behold, false Christs and poor deluded prophets will arise in many lands.32. And they will show forth signs, and do a multitude of mighty works; and they will lead astray the many who are not wise; and many of the wise will be deceived.33. And now I tell you once again, When men shall say, The Christ is in the wilderness, go you not forth.34. And if they say, The Christ is in the secret place, believe it not; for when he comes the world will know that he has come.35. For as the morning light comes from the east and shines unto the west; so shall be the coming of the age and son of man.36. The wicked of the earth will weep when they shall see the son of man come down upon the clouds of heaven, in power.37. Take heed you, O take heed, for you know not the hour nor the day when comes the son of man.38. Let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous things, nor with the cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared.39. Keep watch at every season of the year; and pray that you may meet the Lord with joy and not with grief.40. Before those days shall come our Father-God will send his messengers abroad, yea, to the corners of the earth, and they will say.41. Prepare you, O prepare; the Prince of Peace shall come, and now is coming on the clouds of heaven.42. When Jesus had thus said, he went with his disciples back to Bethany.

You should not throw such wealth away.9. But Jesus said, You men, be still; let her alone; you know not what you say.10. The poor are with you constantly; at any time you can administer to them; but I will not be with you long.11. And Mary knows the sadness of the coming days; she has anointed me beforehand for my burial.12. The gospel of the Christ will everywhere be preached, and he who tells the story of the Christ will tell about this day; and what was done by Mary at this hour will be a sweet memorial to her wherever men abide.13. And when the feast was over Jesus went with Lazarus to his home.14. Now, in Jerusalem the priests and Pharisees were busy with their plans to seize the Lord and take his life.15. The high priest called a counsel all the wisest men and said, This deed must be accomplished in a secret way.16. He must be taken when the multitudes are not a-near, else we may cause a war; the common people may stand forth in his defence and thus pollute this sacred place with human blood.17. And what we do, that we must do before the great day of the feast.18. And Ananias said, I have a plan that will succeed.

The twelve with Jesus every day go forth alone to pray;19. And we will find their trysting place; then we can seize the man and bring him here without the knowledge of the multitudes.20. I know one of the twelve, a man who worships wealth, and for a sum I think that he will lead the way to where the man is wont to pray.21. And then Caiaphas said, If you will lead the way and bribe the man of whom you speak, to aid in seizing Jesus in a secret place, then we will give to you a hundred silver pieces for your hire.22. And Ananias said, 'Tis well.23. And then he went to Bethany and found the twelve at Simon's house and, calling Judas to the side he said,24. If you would care to make a sum of money for yourself hear me:25. The high priest and other rulers in Jerusalem would like to talk with Jesus when alone, that they may know about his claims;26. And if he proves himself to be the Christ, lo, they will stand in his defence.27. Now, if you will but lead the way to where your master is tomorrow night that they may send a priest to talk with him alone, there is a sum of silver, thirty pieces, that the priests will give to you:28. And Judas reasoned with himself; he said, It surely may be well to give the Lord a chance to tell the priests about his claims when he is all alone.29. And if the priests would do him harm he has the power to disappear and go his way as he has done before; and thirty pieces is a goodly sum.30. And so he said to Ananias, I will lead the way, and by a kiss make known which person is the Lord.

And then he gave to each a piece of bread to eat.40. And then he took a cup of wine and said, Blood is the life, this is the life-blood of the grape; it is the symbol of the life of him who gives his life for men.41. And as you drink this wine, if you shall drink in faith, you drink the life of Christ.42. And then he supped and passed the cup, and the disciples supped; and Jesus said, This is the feast of life, the great passover of the son of man, the Supper of the Lord, and you shall often eat the bread and drink the wine.43. From henceforth shall this bread be called Remembrance bread; this wine shall be Remembrance wine; and when you eat this bread and drink this wine remember me.

But now you do not know the way unto my Fatherland.18. And Thomas said, We do not know where you intend to go; how could we know the way?19. And Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, the life; I manifest the Christ of God.

No man can reach my Fatherland except he comes with me through Christ.20. If you had known and comprehended me, then you would know my Father-God.21. And Philip said, Show us the Father and we will be satisfied.22. And Jesus said, Have I been with you all these years and still you know me not?23. He who has seen the son has seen the Father has revealed himself.24. Lo, I have told you many times that what I speak and what I do are not the words and works of man;25. They are the words of God, who lives in me and I in him.26. Hear me, you faithful men: He who believes in me and in my Father-God shall say and do what I have said and done.27. Yea, more, he shall do greater works than I have ever done, because I go to him whose works we do, and then I can reach forth my hand in helpfulness.28. And in my name, through Christ, you may petition God and he will grant you your request.29. Do you believe what I have said?

Yes, you believe, and if you love the Christ and follow me then you will keep my words.30. I am the vine; you are the branches of the vine; my Father is the husbandmen.31. The branches that are worthless, bearing naught but leaves, the husbandmen will cut away and cast into the fire to be burned.32. And he will prune the branches that bear fruit that they may yield abundantly.33. The branch cannot bear fruit if separated from the vine; and you cannot bear fruit when separate from me.34. Abide in me, and do the works that God, through me, has taught you how to do, and you will bear much fruit, and God will honour you as he has honoured me.35. And now I go my way, but I will pray my Father-God and he will send another Comforter to you, who will abide with you.36. Behold, this Comforter of God, the Holy Breath, is one with God, but she is one the world cannot receive because it sees her not; it knows her not.37. But you know her, and will know her, because she will abide within your soul.38. I will not leave you desolate, but in the Christ, which is the love of God made manifest to men, I will be with you all the way.

If I go not the Comforter will not come to you.5. These things I speak while with you in the flesh, but when the Holy Breath shall come in power, lo, she will teach you more and more, and bring to your remembrance all the words that I have said to you.6. There are a multitude of things yet to be said; things that this age cannot receive, because it cannot comprehend.7. But, lo, I say, Before the great day of the Lord shall come, the Holy Breath will make all mysteries known--8. The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of immortality; the oneness of a man with every other man and with his God.9. Then will the world be led to truth, and man will be the truth.10. When she has come, the Comforter, she will convince the world of sin, and of the truth of what I speak, and of the judgement of the just; and then the prince of carnal life will be cast out.11. And when the Comforter shall come I need not intercede for you; for you will stand approved, and God will know you then as he knows me.12. The hour has come when you will weep; the wicked will rejoice, because I go away; but I will come again, and all your sorrows shall be turned to joy;13. Yea, verily, you will rejoice as one who welcomes back a brother from the dead.14. And the disciples said, Our Lord, speak not in proverbs any more; speak plainly unto us; we know that you are wise and know all things.15. What is the meaning of your words, I go away, but I will come again?16. And Jesus said, The hour is come when you will all be scattered forth, and every man will be afraid;17. Will flee to save his life and leave me alone; yet I will not be all alone; my Father-God is with me all the way.18. And wicked men will take me to the judgment seat of wicked men and in the presence of the multitudes I will give up my life, a pattern for the sons of men.19. But I will rise again and come to you.20. These things I speak that you may be established in the faith when they shall come to pass.21. And you shall bear the buffetings of men, and follow in the thorny path I tread.22. Be not dismayed; be of good cheer, Lo, I have overcome the world, and you shall overcome the world.23. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, My Father-God, the hour has come;24. The son of man must now be lifted from the earth, and may he falter not, that all the world may know the power of sacrifice;25. For as I give my life for men, lo, men must give their lives for other men.26. I came to do thy will, O God, and in the sacred name, the Christ is glorified, that men may see the Christ as life, as light, as truth.27. And through the Christ become themselves the life, the light, the love, the truth.28. I praise thy name because of these whom thou hast given me, for they have honoured thee and they will honour thee;29. And none of them are lost, and none are gone away, except the blinded son of carnal life, who hath gone forth to sell his Lord.30. O God, forgive this man because he knows not what he does.31. And now, O God, I come to thee, and am no more in mortal life; keep thou these men to whom I have made known thy wisdom and thy love.32. As they believe in me, and in the words I speak, may all the worlds believe in them and in the words they speak.33. As thou hast sent me forth into the world, so I have sent them forth.

I pray that thou wouldst honour them as thou hast honoured me.34. I do not pray that thou wouldst take them from the world, but that they may be guarded from the evil of the world, and not be subject to temptations that are too great for them to bear.35. They once were of the world, but now are of the world no more, as I am of the world no more.36. Thy word is truth, O God, and by thy word let them be sanctified.37. I do not pray for these alone, O God; I also pray for all who will believe on me, and will accept the Christ because of what they do and say, that they may all be one.38. As I am one with thee, and thou art one with me, may they be one with us,39. That all the world may know that thou hast sent me forth to do thy will, and that thou lovest them as thou hast ever loved me.40. When Jesus had thus said, they sung the Jewish song of praise, and then arose and went their way.

Is one of you the man from Galilee?2. And Peter said, We all are men from Galilee; whom do you seek?3. The guard replied, I seek for Jesus, who is called the Christ.4. And Jesus answered, Here am I.5. The guard spoke out and said, I do not come in an official way; I bear to you a message from the governor.6. Jerusalem is all alive with vengeful Jews who swear that they will take your life, and Pilate would confer with you, and he would have you come to him without delay.7. And Jesus said to Peter and the rest, Go to the vale, and by the Kidron wait for me, and I will go alone and see the governor.8. And Jesus went up with the guard, and when he reached the palace, Pilate met him at the gate and said,9. Young man, I have a word to say that may be well for you.

You know the way to reach the border of this cursed land.16. I have a little band of guards, well horsed and armed, and they will take you out beyond the reach of harm.17. You must not tarry here, young man, you must arise and go.18. And Jesus said, A noble prince has Cæsar in his Pilate Pontius, and from the point of carnal man your words are seasoned with the wise man's salt; but from the point of Christ your words are foolishness.19. The coward flees when danger comes; but he who comes to seek and save the lost must give his life in willing sacrifice for those he comes to seek and save.20. Before the pasch has been consumed, lo, all this nation will be cursed by shedding blood of innocence; and even now the murderers are at the door.21. and Pilate said, It shall not be; the sword of Rome will be unsheathed to save your life.22. And Jesus said, Nay, Pilate, nay; there are no armies large enough in all the world to save my life.23. And Jesus bade the governor farewell, and went his way; but Pilate sent a double guard with him lest he should fall into the hands of those who were alert to take his life.24. But in a moment Jesus disappeared; the guards saw him no more, and in a little while he reached the brook of Kidron where the eleven were.25. Now, just beyond the brook there was an orchard and a home where one, Massalian, lived, where Jesus oft had been.26. Massalian was his friend, and he believed that Jesus was the Christ that Jewish prophets long ago had said would come.27. Now, in the orchard was a sacred knoll; Massalian called the place Gethsemane.28. The night was dark, but in the orchard it was doubly dark and Jesus bade the eight disciples tarry by the brook,29. While he, with Peter, James and John went to Gethsemane to pray.30. They sat beneath an olive tree, and Jesus opened up the mysteries of life to Peter, James and John.

He said,31. The Spirit of eternity is One unmanifest; and this is God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son in One.32. In life of manifests the One became the Three, and God the Father is the God of might; and God the Mother is omniscient God, and God the Son is love.33. And God the Father is the power of heaven and earth; and God the Mother is the Holy Breath, the thought of heaven and earth; and God the Son, the only son, is Christ, and Christ is love.34. I came as man to manifest this love to men,35. As man I have been subject unto all the trials and temptations of the human race; but I have overcome the flesh, with all its passions and its appetites.36. What I have done all men can do.37. And I am now about to demonstrate the power of man to conquer death; for every man is God made flesh.38. I will lay down my life, and I will take it up again, that you may know the mysteries of life, of death, and of the resurrection of the dead.39. I lay me down in flesh, but I will rise in spirit form with power to manifest myself so mortal eyes can see.40. So in a trinity of days I will show forth the all of life, the all of death, the meaning of the resurrection of the dead.41. And what I do all men can do.42. And you, my three, who constitute the inner circle of the Church of Christ, will show to men the attributes of all the Gods.43. And Peter shall make known the Power of God; and James shall show Thought of God; and John shall demonstrate the Love of God.44. Be not afraid of men, for you have been sent forth to do the mighty works of God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son.45. And all the powers of carnal life cannot destroy your life until your work is done.46. I leave you now, and I will go out in the darkness all alone and talk with God.47. By sorrow I am overwhelmed I leave you here to watch with me.48. Then Jesus went three hundred cubits toward the east, and fell upon his face and prayed; he said,49. My God!

We seek for Jesus, one who calls himself the Christ.7. And Jesus answered, Here am I.8. And then he raised his hands and with a mighty thought he brought the ethers to the state of light; and all the orchard was aglow with light.9. The frenzied men were driven back and many fled and tarried not until they reached Jerusalem; and others fell upon their faces on the ground.10. The bravest men, and they with hardest hearts, remained, and when the light had paled, the Lord again inquired, Whom do you seek?11. And Ananias said, We seek the man from Galilee; we seek for Jesus, he who calls himself the Christ.12. And Jesus answered him and said, I told you once before; but now I tell you once again that I am he.13. By Ananias, Judas stood; but in a moment he had gone and coming up behind the Lord he said, My Lord; and then he kissed him as a sign that he was Jesus whom they sought.14. And Jesus said, Do you, Iscariot, come and thus betray your master with a kiss?15. This thing must need be done; but woe to him who does betray his Lord.16. Your carnal greed has seared your conscience and you know not what you do; but in a little time your conscience will assert itself, and in remorse, lo, you will close your span and take your life.17. Then the eleven came, laid hold of Judas and would have done him harm; but Jesus said,18. You must not harm this man; you have no right to judge this man; his conscience is his judge, will sentence him and he will execute himself.19. And then the mob led on by Malchus, servant of Caiaphas, laid hold of Jesus, and was binding him with chains.20. And Jesus said, Why do you come in dead of night with swords and clubs to take me in this sacred place?21. Have I not spoken in the public places of Jerusalem?

1. When Jesus would not speak, Caiaphas stood before the Jewish mob and said,2. Bind fast the prisoner, for he must go before the great Sanhedrim of the Jews to answer for his life.3. We cannot execute a criminal until our findings have been verified by this, the highest council of the Jews.4. As soon as it was day the highest council of the people met; the Lord and his accusers stood before the bar.5. Caiaphas was the chief; he rose and said, Let the accusers of this man from Galilee bring forth their charges and their evidence.6. Caiaphas' scribe stood forth and read the charges and the names of those who had accused the man from Galilee.7. And all the witnesses were made to stand and testify before the council of the Jews.8. And then the lawyers weighed the evidence, and Nicodemus stood among the men who plead.9. He raised his hands and said, Let justice now be done, though every scribe and Pharisee and priest and Sadducee, as well as Jesus, the accused, be judged a liar.10. If we can prove this Jesus to be foe and traitor to our laws and land, let him be judged a criminal and suffer for his crimes.11. If it be proved that these who testify are perjurers in the sight of God and man, then let the man from Galilee go free.12. And then he brought the testimonies of the witnesses before the judges of the law; no two of them agreed; In heat of passion, or for gain, the men had testified.13. The council would have gladly judged that Jesus was a criminal and sentence him to death; but in the face of all the evidence they were afraid.14. And then Caiaphas said, You man from Galilee, Before the living God, I now command that you shall answer me, Are you the Christ, the son of God?15. And Jesus said, If I would answer, Yes, you would not hear, nor yet believe,16. If I would answer, No, I would be like your witnesses, and stand a liar in the sight of man and God.

And would you put to death your king?17. The Jews replied, He is no king; we have no king but great Tiberius.18. Now, Pilate would not give consent that Roman soldiers should imbue their hands in blood of innocence, and so the chief priests and the Pharisees took counsel what to do with Jesus, who was called the Christ.19. Caiaphas said, We cannot crucify this man; he must be stoned to death and nothing more.20. And then the rabble said, Make haste!

The Roman soldiers had already bound the two state prisoners to the cross.5. (They were not nailed, but simply bound.)6. Four soldiers of the Roman guard that Herod brought from Galilee were called to execute the orders of the court.7. These were the men who had been set apart to torture Jesus and secure from him confession of his guilt.8. These were the men who scourged him, put a crown of thorns upon his head, a broken reed into his hands, and wrapped him in a royal robe, and bowed in mockery, before him as a king.9. These soldiers took the Lord and stripped him, laid him on the cross and would have bound him there with cords; but this would not suffice.10. The cruel Jews were near with hammer and with nails; they cried, Not cords, but nails; drive fast the nails and hold him to the cross.11. And then the soldiers took the nails and drove them through his feet and hands.12. They offered him a sedative to drink, a draught of vinegar and myrrh; but he refused to drink the draught.13. The soldiers had prepared a place in which to plant Barabbas' cross between the other criminals; and here they raised the cross of Jesus, who was called the Christ;14. And then the soldiers and the mob sat down to watch him die.15. And Jesus said, My Father-God, forgive these men; they know not what they do.16. Now, Pilate had prepared a tablet to be placed upon the cross on which was written in the tongues of Hebrew, Latin and Greek these words of truth: JESUS THE CHRIST, KING OF THE JEWS.17. And this was placed upon the cross.

The priests were angered when they read these words upon the tablet of the cross.18. And then they prayed that Pilate would not say, He is the Christ, king of the Jews; but say, He claims to be the Christ, king of the Jews.19. But Pilate said, What I have written, I have written; let it stand.20. The Jewish multitudes who saw the Lord upon the cross were wild with joy; they said, All hail, fake king!21. You who would tear the temple down and in three days would build it up again, why don't you save yourself?22. If you are Christ, the son of God, come from the cross; then all men will believe.23. The priests and scribes and Pharisees looked on the scene and scoffed; they said, He rescued others from the grave; why doesn't he save himself?24. The Jewish soldiers and the Roman guards who came from Galilee were loud in mocking and deriding him.25. One of the other men upon the cross joined in the mockery; he said, If you are Christ, you have the power; just speak the Word, and save yourself and me.26. The other man upon the cross rebuked the man; he said, You wretch!

The body is the manifest of soul; but soul is soul without its manifest.16. And in the realm of souls, unmanifest, the Lord went forth and taught.17. He opened up the prison doors and set the prisoners free;18. He broke the chains of captive souls, and led the captives to the light;19. He sat in council with the patriarchs and prophets of the olden times;20. The masters of all times and climes he met, and in the great assemblies he stood forth and told the story of his life on earth, and of his death in sacrifice for man,21. And of his promises to clothe himself again in garb of flesh and walk with his disciples, just to prove the possibilities of man;22. To give to them the key of life, of death, and of the resurrection of the dead.23. In council all the masters sat and talked about the revelations of the coming age,24. When she, the Holy Breath, shall fill the earth and air with holy breath, and open up the way of man to perfectness and endless life.25. The garden of Siloam was silent on the Sabbath day; the Jewish soldiers watched and no one else approached the tomb; but on the following night the scene was changed.26. At midnight every Jewish soldier heard a voice which said, Adon Mashich Cumi, which meant, Lord Christ arise.27. And they supposed again that friends of Jesus were alert, were coming up to take the body of their Lord away.28. The soldiers were alert with swords unsheathed and drawn, and then they heard the words again.29. It seemed as though the voice was everywhere, and yet they saw no man.30. The soldiers blanched with fear, and still to flee meant death for cowardice, and so they stood and watched.31. Again, and this was just before the sun arose, the heavens blazed with light, a distant thunder seemed to herald forth a coming storm;32. and then the earth began to quake and in the rays of light they saw a form descend from heaven.

He tells them many things about Christ.

He healed the sick and made the deaf to hear, the blind to see, the lame to walk, and even raised the dead.11. The Jewish scribes and Pharisees were jealous of his fame and power, and they arrested him; by perjured witnesses they proved him guilty of a score of crimes,12. And on last Friday he was taken to the place of skulls and crucified.13. He died and he was buried in a rich man's tomb, out in the garden of Soloam.14. This very morning when his friends went to the tomb they found it empty; the body of the Lord was gone.15. And now the news has spread abroad that he has risen from the dead.16. The stranger said, Yes, I have heard about this man; but it seems strange that after all the things that Jewish prophets long ago foretold concerning him that when he came men knew him not.17. This man was born to demonstrate the Christ to men, and it is just to say that Jesus is the Christ.18. According to the word, this Jesus came to suffer at the hands of men, to give his life as pattern for the sons of men;19. To rise from death that men might know the way to rise from death.20. And then the stranger told the two disciples all about the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms, and read to them a multitude of things that had been written of this man from Galilee.21. And now the men had reached their home, and as the night was near they importuned the stranger to abide with them.22. and he went in with them and as they sat about the table at the evening meal, he took a piece of bread, and blessed it in the name of Christ.23. And instantly their eyes were opened up, and they perceived that he, the stranger, was the Lord, the man from Galilee; that he had risen from the dead; and then the form of Jesus disappeared.24. When he had gone, the two disciples were amazed.

Caiaphas, Annas and some other ruling Jews were there.2. A stranger came in garb of fisherman and asked, What has become of Jesus who is called the Christ?

They said, A great disaster is to come; our gods are mad; they have destroyed our Oracle.4. But when the flames had spent themselves, a man stood on the orac pedestal and said,5. God speaks to man, not by an oracle of wood and gold, but by the voice of man.6. The gods have spoken to the Greeks, and kindred tongues, through images made by man, but God, the One, now speaks to man through Christ the only son, who was, and is and evermore will be.7. This Oracle shall fail; the Living Oracle of God, the One, will never fail.8. Apollo knew the man who spoke; he knew it was the Nazarene who once had taught the wise men in the Acropolis and had rebuked the idol worshippers upon the Athen's beach;9. And in a moment Jesus stood before Apollo and the Silent Brotherhood, and said,10. Behold, for I have risen from the dead with gifts for men.

I bring to you the title of your vast estate.11. All power in heaven and earth is mine; to you I give all power in heaven and earth.12. Go forth and teach the nations of the earth the gospel of the resurrection of the dead and of eternal life through Christ, the love of God made manifest to men.13. And then he clasped Apollo's hand and said, My human flesh was changed to higher form by love divine and I can manifest in flesh, or in the higher planes of life, at will.14. What I can do all men can do.

Go preach the gospel of the omnipotence of man.15. Then Jesus disappeared; but Greece and Crete and all the nations heard.16. Claudas and Juliet, his wife, lived on the Palatine in Rome and they were servants of Tiberius; but they had been in Galilee;17. Had walked with Jesus by the sea, had heard his words and seen his power; and they believed that he was Christ made manifest.18. Now Claudas and his wife were on the Tiber in a little boat; a storm swept from the sea, the boat was wrecked and Claudas and his wife were sinking down to death.19. And Jesus came and took them by the hands and said, Claudas and Juiet, arise and walk with me upon the waves.20. And they arose and walked with him upon the waves.21. A thousand people saw the three walk on the waves, and saw them reach the land, and they were all amazed.22. And Jesus said, You men of Rome, I am the resurrection and the life.

They that are dead shall live, and many that shall live will never die.23. By mouth of gods and demi-gods God spoke unto your fathers long ago; but now he speaks to you through perfect man.24. He sent his son, the Christ, in human flesh, to save the world, and as I lifted from the watery grave and saved these servants of Tiberius,25. So Christ will lift the sons and daughters of the human race, yea, every one of them, from darkness and from graves of carnal things, to light and everlasting life.26. I am the manifest of love raised from the dead; Behold my hands, my feet, my side which carnal men have pierced.27. Claudas and Juliet whom I have saved from death, are my ambassadors to Rome.28. And they will point the way and preach the gospel of the Holy Breath and of the resurrection of the dead.29. And that was all he said, but Rome and all of Italy heard.30. The priests of Heliopolis were in their temple met to celebrate the resurrection of their brother Nazarite; they knew that he had risen from the dead.31. The Nazarite appeared and stood upon a sacred pedestal on which no man had ever stood.32. This was an honour that had been reserved for him who first would demonstrate the resurrection of the dead.33. And Jesus was the first of all the human race to demonstrate the resurrection of the dead.34. When Jesus stood upon the sacred pedestal the masters stood and said, All hail!

The other men brought in the net, and it contained a hundred fifty and three fish and yet it did not break.9. And Jesus said, My children, let us break our fast together here.10. They found some living coals upon the beach and Peter brought and dressed the fish; they had some bread.11. And when the meal had been prepared they broke their fast, and Jesus ate of both the fish and bread.12. Now, after breakfast all the men were sitting on the beach, and Jesus said to Peter, Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, and do you love your neighbour as you love yourself?13. And Peter said, Yea, Lord, I love the Lord my God with all my heart; I love my neighbour as I love myself.14. And Jesus said, Then feed my sheep.15. And then he said to James, Do you love her, the Holy Breath, with all your heart, and do you love your neighbour as you love yourself?16. And James replied, Yea, Lord, I love the Holy Breath with all my heart; I love my neighbour as I love myself.17. Then Jesus said, Protect my sheep.18. And then he said to John, Do you love Christ, the love divine made manifest, with all your heart, and do you love your neighbour as you love yourself?19. And John replied, Yea, Lord, I love the Christ with all my heart; I love my neighbour as I love myself.20. And Jesus said, Then feed my lambs.21. Then Jesus rose and said to Peter, Follow me.

And then he talked with them a long, long time.4. And the disciples asked, Will you restore the kingdom unto Israel now?5. And Jesus said, Be not concerned about the governments of men; the masters will direct.6. Do that which has been given you to do, and wait and murmur not.7. All power in heaven and earth is given unto me, and now I bid you go to all the world and preach the gospel of the Christ, the unity of God and man, the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal life.8. And as you go and preach, baptise the people in the name of Christ.9. They who believe and are baptised shall rise up in the newness of the life of Christ, and they who disbelieve shall rise not in the newness of the life of Christ.10. And you shall give to men the power I give to you.11. They who believe and are baptised shall heal the sick; shall cause the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk;12. Shall cast the unclean spirits out of those obsessed; shall tread on deadly serpents and be not harmed; shall pass through flames and not be burned; and if they drink a poisonous draught it shall not kill.13. You know the sacred Word, which is the word of power.14. The secret things that I have told to you that may not now be told to all the world, you shall make known to faithful men who shall in turn reveal them unto other faithful men.15. Until the time shall come when all the world may hear and comprehend the words of truth and power.16. And now I will ascend to God, as you and all the world will rise to God.17. Behold, upon the day of Pentecost you all shall be endowed with power from on high.18. But here you shall remain till then in holy thought and prayer.19. Then Jesus went to Olivet, and his disciples followed him, and in a place not far removed from Bethany, he met the Marys and Salome;20. Met Martha, Ruth and Miriam; met Lazarus and a host of others who had come from Galilee.21. And Jesus stood apart and raised his hands and said,22. The benedictions of the Holy Ones, of the Almighty God, and of the Holy Breath, of Christ the love of God made manifest.23. Will rest upon you all the way till you shall rise and sit with me upon the throne of power.24. And then they saw him rise upon the wings of light; a wreath encircled him about; and then they saw his form no more.25. But as they gazed up into heaven two men, in robes of white, appeared and said,26. You men of Galilee, why gaze you thus so anxiously upon the ascending Lord?

1. The fact that Jesus had arisen from the dead was not denied by many of the rulers of the Jews.2. And Pilate gave an order that the followers of the Nazarene be not molested in their worship any place in his domain.3. The day of Pentecost was near at hand and every one was looking for a manifest of Spirit power.4. Now, in Jerusalem the eleven had met to choose a man to fill the place of Judas who betrayed his Lord.5. And Peter said, the Lord called to this ministry twelve men as twelve foundation stones on which the Christine temple should be built.6. This Judas who betrayed his Lord, has gone to his own place beyond the veil.7. Of him the prophet wrote: His habitation shall be desolate; no man shall dwell therein; his office let another take.8. From those who have accompanied us from Gigal, where the harbinger baptised, until this day, shall one be chosen to complete the number twelve, to fill the place from which our brother by transgression fell.9. And then the eleven spent a long, long time in prayer, and when they cast their lots, Matthias, from the valley of the Nile, was chosen for the place.10. Matthias was an Israelite indeed; but he was learned in all the wisdom of Egyptian schools, and he had taught the mysteries of Mizraim in Jericho.11. He was among the first to greet the harbinger; among the first to recognise the Nazarene as Christ, the son of God;12. He had been with the Christine band in all their journeys in the land of Galilee, Judea and Samaria.13. A messenger was sent who found Matthias, and he came and joined the eleven, and for a time the twelve were lost in silent prayer.14. The Christines who had come from Galilee and places in Judea, about six score, were there, and Peter told them of Matthias, and how, by lot, he had been chosen an apostle of the Lord.15. The Christines all were glad and praised the name of God; and Miriam sung a song of praise.16. These are the names of the apostles of the Lord; Peter, john and James; Philip, Andrew and Nathaniel;17. Thomas, James the son of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes; Matthew, Jude, the son of Alpheus and Matthias.

The Holy Breath spoke with his tongue and said,13. And it shall come to pass in latter days, that I will breathe upon the sons of men, and fill them with the blessedness of holiness.14. Your sons and daughters will stand forth and prophesy; your young men will be seers; your old men will dream dreams.15. And I will show wonders in the heavens above, and marvellous signs in earth.16. Sounds will proceed from heaven and voices will be heard that men will fail to comprehend.17. The sun will fail to shine, the moon will wade in blood before the coming of the great day of the Lord.18. And it will come to pass that they who call upon the name of God in faith shall be redeemed.19. This is the day of Christine power; the day that he, the man from Galilee, is glorified.20. He came as a babe in Bethlehem and from his day of birth the kings of earth went forth intent to take his life.21. God held him in the hollow of his hand.22. Men called him Jesus, and they called him well, for he was sent to seek and save the lost.23. And Jesus grew to manhood and was subject unto all trials and temptations of the sons of men, that he might know the loads that men must bear, and know the way to succour them.24. In distant lands he lived and by the sacred Word he healed the sick, threw prison doors ajar, and set the prisoners free, and everywhere he was proclaimed, Immanuel.25. But wicked men despised him and rejected him, and by bribed men they proved him guilty of a score of crimes;26. And in the presence of a multitude of men who hear me now, they nailed him to a cross;27. They sealed him with the seal of death; but death was all too weak to hold him in the tomb and when immortal master said, Adon mashich cumi, he burst the bands of death, and rose again to life.28. He showed himself alive, not only to the rulers in Jerusalem, but to the many in the distant parts of earth;29. And then, before the wondering eyes of many who now hear me speak, attended by a retinue of courtiers of the angel world, he ascended to the throne of God.30. And being now exalted high, and having breathed to full the Holy Breath, he breathes again on us, and thus sheds forth what you now see and hear.31. You men of Israel, Know that God has made this man from Galilee would you abused and crucified, both Lord and Christ.32. And then the people said, What shall we do?33. And Peter said, This Christine Lord has sent us forth to open up the gates of dawn.

Through Christ all men may enter into light and life.34. The Christine Church stands on the postulates that Jesus is the love of God made manifest; that love is saviour of the sons of men.35. This Christine Church is but the kingdom of the Holy One within the soul, made manifest.36. This day the Christine Church is opened up, and whosoever will may enter in, and, by the boundless grace of Christ, be saved.37. Again the people said, How may we enter in that we may share the boundless grace of Christ?38. And Peter said, Reform and be baptised, and turn away from sin and lead the life deep hid with Christ in God, and you shall enter in and be redeemed.39. Three thousand people turned away from sin and were baptised and sought to lead the life deep hid with Christ in God.40. And in one day the Christine Church became a mighty power; and Christ became a mighty word that thrilled the multitudes in many lands.
