Change happens by shifting to versions of Earth that already match your new beliefs.
You do not change the current Earth—you navigate to another parallel version.

Levi passed from earth-life August 13, 1911.
The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the earth is near." (Aquarian Gospel 157: 29, 30.)
"Not now, my son, not now; but you may write it down for men when men have learned the sacred laws of Brotherhood, of Peace on earth, good-will to every living thing.
"This Gospel I will tell, and I will sing this song in every land, to all the people, tribes and tongues of earth."
"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.
"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.
"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.
"'My human life was wholly given to bring my will to tune with the deific will; when this was done my earth-tasks all were done.

"They show the spiral journey of the soul until the man of earth and God are one for evermore."
"Then every man of earth will read the words of life in the language of his native land, and men will see the light.
When the mind of man is in exact accord with the Universal Mind man enters into a conscious recognition of these Akashic impressions, and may collect them and translate them into any language of earth with which he is familiar.
"Hear, now, O protoplast, and earth, and plant and beast!
"Bear, now, ye creeping things of earth, ye fish that swim, ye birds that fly!
"Hear, now, ye spirits of the fire, of water, earth and air!
"But man, like every other thought of God, was but a seed, a seed that held within itself the potencies of God, just as the seed of any plant of earth holds deep within itself the attributes of every part of that especial plant.
1. Near Hebron in the hills of Judah, Zacharias and Elizabeth abode.2. They were devote and just, and every day they read the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms which told of one to come, strong to redeem; and they were waiting for the king.3. Now, Zacharias was a priest, and in his turn he led the temple service in Jerusalem.4. It came to pass as Zacharias stood before the Lord and burned the incense in the Holy Place, that Gabriel came and stood before his face.5. And Zacharias was afraid; he thought that some great evil was about to come upon the Jews.6. But Gabriel said, O man of God, fear not; I bring to you and all the world, a message of good will, and peace on earth.7. Behold, the Prince of Peace, the king you seek, will quickly come.8. Your wife will bear to you a son, a holy son, of whom the prophet wrote,9. Behold, I send Elijah unto you again before the coming of the Lord; and he will level down the hills and fill the valleys up, and pave the way for him who shall redeem.10. From the beginning of the age your son has borne the name of John, the mercy of the Lord; his name is John.11. He will be honoured in the sight of God, and he will drink no wine, and from his birth he will be filled with Holy Breath.12. And Gabriel stood before Elizabeth as she was in the silence of her home, and told her all the words that he had said to Zacharias in Jerusalem.13. When he had done the service of his course, the priest went home, and with Elizabeth rejoiced.14. Five months passed by and Gabriel came to Mary in her home in Nazareth and said,15. Hail Mary, hail!
At midnight in a cave in Bethehem was born the prophet and the king that you have long been waiting for.12. And then the shepherds all were glad; they felt that all the hills were filled with messengers of light, who said,13. All glory be to God on high; peace, peace on earth, good will to men.14. And then the shepherds came with haste to Bethlehem and to the cave, that they might see and honour him whom men had called Immanuel.15. Now, when the morning came, a shepherdess whose home was near, prepared a room for Mary, Joseph and the child; and here they tarried many days.16. And Joseph sent a messenger in haste to Zacharias and Elizabeth to say, The child is born in Bethlehem.17. And Zacharias and Elizabeth took John and came to Bethlehem with words of cheer.18. And Mary and Elizabeth recounted all the wonderous things that had transpired.
This is the preparation age of soul, the kingdom of Immanuel, of God in man;14. And these, your sons, will be the first to tell the news, and preach the gospel of good will to men, and peace on earth.15. A mighty work is theirs; for carnal men want not the light, they love the dark, and when the light shines in the dark they comprehend it not.16. We call these sons, Revealers of the Light; but they must have the light before they can reveal the light.17. And you must teach your sons, and set their souls on fire with love and holy zeal, and make them conscious of their missions to the sons of men.18. Teach them that God and man are one; but that through carnal thoughts and words and deeds, man tore himself away from God; debased himself.19. Teach that the Holy Breath would make them one again, restoring harmony and peace;20. That naught can make them one but Love; that God so loved the world that he has clothed his son in flesh that man may comprehend.21. The only Saviour of the world is love, and Jesus, son of Mary, comes to manifest that love to men.22. Now, love cannot manifest until its way has been prepared, and naught can rend the rocks and bring down lofty hills and fill the valleys up, and thus prepare the way, but purity.23. But purity in life men do not comprehend; and so, it, too, come in flesh.24. And you, Elizabeth, are blest because your son is purity made flesh, and he shall pave the way for love.25. This age will comprehend but little of the works of Purity and Love; but not a word is lost, for in the Book of God's Remembrance a registry is made of every thought, and word, and deed;26. And when the world is ready to receive, lo, God will sent a messenger to open up the book and copy from its sacred pages all the messages of Purity and Love.27. Then every man of earth will read the words of life in language of his native land, and men will see the light, walk in the light and be the light.28. And man again will be at one with God.
These are Elohim, creative spirits of the universe.20. And these are they who said, Let us make man; and in their image man was made.21. In early ages of the world the dwellers in the farther East said, Tao is the name of Universal Breath; and in the ancient books we read,22. No manifesting form has Tao Great, and yet he made and keeps the heavens and earth.23. No passion has our Tao Great, and yet he causes sun and moon and all the stars to rise and set.24. No name has Tao Great, and yet he makes all things to grow; he brings in season both the seed time and the harvest time.25. And Tao Great was One; the One became the Two; the Two became the Three, the Three evolved the Seven, which filled the universe with manifests.26. And Tao Great gives unto all, the evil and the good, the rain, the dew, the sunshine and the flowers; from his rich stores he feeds them all.27. And in the same old book we read of man: He has a spirit knit to Tao Great; a soul which lives within the seven Breaths of Tao Great; a body of desires that springs up from the soil of flesh.28. Now spirit loves the pure, the good, the true; the body of desires extols the selfish self; the soul becomes the battle ground between the two.29. And blessed is the man whose spirit is triumphant and whose lower self is purified; whose soul is cleansed, becoming fit to be the council chamber of the manifests of Tao Great.30. Thus closed the lesson of Salome.
Matheno told him all about the service of the Jews; the meaning of their rites.12. John could not understand how sin could be forgiven by killing animals and birds and burning them before the Lord.13. Matheno said, The God of heaven and earth does not require sacrifice.
Man never has been left without a beacon light to guide.17. And he has ever had a lighted lamp in hand that he may see the dangerous rocks, the turbid streams and treacherous pits.18. And so the Holy Ones have judged; when men have needed added light a master soul has come to earth to give the light.19. Before the Vedic days the world had many sacred books to light the way; and when man needed greater light the Vedas, the Avesta and the books of Tao Great appeared to show the way to greater heights.20. And in the proper place the Hebrew Bible, with its Law, its Prophets and its Psalms, appeared for man's enlightenment.21. But years have passed and men have need of greater light.22. And now the Day Star from on high begins to shine; and Jesus is the flesh-made messenger to show that light to men.23. And you, my pupil, you have been ordained to harbinger the coming day.24. But you must keep that purity of heart you now possess; and you must light your lamp directly from the coals that burn upon the altar of the Holy Ones.25. And then your lamp will be transmuted to a boundless flame, and you will be a living torch whose light will shine wherever man abides.26. But in the ages yet to come, man will attain to greater heights, and lights still more intense will come.27. And then, at last, a mighty master soul will come to earth to light the way up to the throne of perfect man.
Matheno said, It is not well to weep because of death.3. Death is no enemy of man; it is a friend who, when the work of life is done, just cuts the cord that binds the human boat to earth, that it may sail on smoother seas.4. No language can describe a mother's worth, and yours was tried and true.
But she was not called hence until her tasks were done.5. The calls of death are always for the best, for we are solving problems there as well as here; and one is sure to find himself where he can solve his problems best.6. It is but selfishness that makes one wish to call again to earth departed souls.7. Then let your mother rest in peace.
I will dismantle Ariel, and she shall groan and weep:6. And I will camp against her round about with hostile posts;7. And I will bring her low and she shall speak out of the earth; with muffled voice like a familiar spirit shall she speak; yea she shall only whisper forth her speech;8. And foes unnumbered, like the grains of dust, shall come upon her suddenly.9. The Lord of Hosts will visit her with thunder and with tempest, and with storm; with earthquake, and with devouring flames.10. Lo, all these people have deserted me.
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.
Force changes not, but power changes as the ethers change.16. Force is the will of God and is omnipotent, and power is that will in manifest, directed by the Breath.17. There is power in the winds, a power in the waves, a power in the lightning's stroke, a power in the human arm, a power in the eye.18. The ethers cause there powers to be, and thought of Elohim, of angel, man, or other thinking thing, directs the force; when it has done its work the power is no more.19. Again Lamaas asked, Of understanding what have you to say?20. And Jesus said, It is the rock on which man builds himself; it is the gnosis of the aught and of the naught, of falsehood and of truth.21. It is the knowledge of the lower self; the sensing of the powers of man himself.22. Again Lamaas asked, Of wisdom what have you to say?23. And Jesus said, It is the consciousness that man is aught; that God and man are one;24. That naught is naught; that power is but illusion; that heaven and earth and hell are not above, around, below, but in; which in the light of aught becomes the naught, and God is all.25. Lamaas asked, Pray, what is faith?26. And Jesus said, Faith is the surety of the omnipotence of God and man; the certainty that man will reach the deific life.27. Salvation is a ladder reaching from the heart of man to heart of God.28. It has three steps; Belief is first, and this is what man thinks, perhaps, is truth.29. And faith is next, and this is what man knows is truth.30. Fruition is the last, and this is man himself, the truth.31. Belief is lost in faith; and in fruition is lost; and man is saved when he has reached deific life; when he and God are one.
1. Now, Jesus with his friend Lamaas went through all the regions of Orissa, and the valley of the Ganges, seeking wisdom from the sudras and the visyas and the masters.2. Benares of the Ganges was a city rich in culture and in learning; here the two rabbonis tarried many days.3. And Jesus sought to learn the Hindu art of healing, and became the pupil of Udraka, greatest of the Hindu healers.4. Udraka taught the uses of the waters, plants and earths; of heat and cold; sunshine and shade; of light and dark.5. He said, The laws of nature are the laws of health, and he who lives according to these laws is never sick.6. Transgression of these laws is sin, and he who sins is sick.7. He who obeys the laws, maintains an equilibrium in all his parts, and thus insures true harmony; and harmony is health, while discord is disease.8. That which produces harmony in all the parts of man is medicine, insuring health.9. The body is a harpsichord, and when its strings are too relaxed, or are too tense, the instrument is out of tune, the man is sick.10. Now, everything in nature has been made to meet the wants of man; so everything is found in medical arcanes.11. And when the harpsichord of man is out of tune the vast expanse of nature may be searched for remedy; there is a cure for every ailment of the flesh.12. Of course the will of man is remedy supreme; and by the vigorous exercise of will, man way make tense a chord that is relaxed, or may relax one that is too tense, and thus may heal himself.13. When man has reached the place where he has faith in God, in nature and himself, he knows the Word of power; his word is balm for every wound, is cure for all the ills of life.14. The healer is the man who can inspire faith.
The tongue may speak to human ears, but souls are reached by souls that speak to souls.15. He is the forceful man whose soul is large, and who can enter into souls, inspiring hope in those who have no hope, and faith in those who have no faith in God, in nature, nor in man.16. There is no universal balm for those who tread the common walks of life.17. A thousand things produce inharmony and make men sick; a thousand things may tune the harpsichord, and make men well.18. That which is medicine for one is poison for another one; so one is healed by what would kill another one.19. An herb may heal the one; a drink of water may restore another one; a mountain breeze may bring to life one seeming past all help;20. A coal of fire, or bit of earth, may cure another one; and one may wash in certain streams, or pools, and be made whole.21. The virtue from the hand or breath may heal a thousand more; but love is queen.
1. Four years the Jewish boy abode in temple Jagannath.2. One day he sat among the priests and said to them, Pray, tell me all about your views of castes; why do you say that all men are not equal in the sight of God?3. A master of their laws stood forth and said, The Holy One whom we call Brahm, made men to suit himself, and men should not complain.4. In the beginning days of human life Brahm spoke, and four men stood before his face.5. Now, from the mouth of Parabrahm the first man came; and he was white, was like the Brahm himself; a brahman he was called.6. And he was high and lifted up; above all want he stood; he had no need of toil.7. And he was called the priest of Brahm, the holy one to act for Brahm in all affairs of earth.8. The second man was red, and from the hand of Parabrahm he came; and he was called shatriya.9. And he was made to be the king, the ruler and the warrior, whose highest ordained duty was protection of the priest.10. And from the inner parts of Parabrahm the third man came; and he was called a visya.11. He was a yellow man, and his it was to till the soil, and keep the flocks and herds.12. And from the feet of Parabrahm the fourth man came; and he was black; and he was called the sudras, one of low estate.13. The sudras is the servant of the race of men; he has no rights that others need respect; he may not hear the Vedas read, and it means death to him to look into the face of priest, or king, and naught but death can free him from his state of servitude.14. And Jesus said, Then Parabrahm is not a God of justice and of right; for with his own strong hand he has exulted one and brought another low.15. And Jesus said no more to them, but looking up to heaven he said,16. My Father-God, who was, and is, and evermore shall be; who holds within thy hands the scales of justice and of right;17. Who in the boundlessness of love has made all men to equal be.
be conscious of your powers, for he who wills need not remain a slave.26. Just live as you would have your brother live; unfold each day as does the flower; for earth is yours, and heaven is yours, and God will bring you to your own.27. And all the people cried, Show us the way that like the flower we may unfold and come unto our own.
Man's God to-day, to-morrow is not God.17. The nations of the earth see God from different points of view, and so he does not seem the same to every one.18. Man names the part of God he sees, and this to him is all of God; and every nation sees a part of God, and every nation has a name for God.19. You Brahmans call him Parabrahm; in Egypt he is Thoth; and Zeus is his name in Greece; Jehovah is his Hebrew name; but everywhere he is the causeless Cause, the rootless Root from which all things have grown.20. When men become afraid of God, and take him for a foe, they dress up other men in fancy garbs and call them priests.21. And charge them to restrain the wrath of God by prayers; and when they fail to win his favour by their prayers, to buy him off with sacrifice of animal, or bird.22. When man sees God as one with him, as Father-God, he needs no middle man, no priest to intercede;23. He goes straight up to him and says, My Father-God!
what its laws?19. And Jesus said, This kingdom is not far away, but man with mortal eyes can see it not; it is within the heart.20. You need not seek the king in earth, or sea, or sky; he is not there, and yet is everywhere.
1. One day as Jesus stood beside the Ganges busy with his work, a caravan, returning from the West, drew near.2. And one, approaching Jesus, said, We come to you from your native land and bring unwelcome news.3. Your father is no more on earth; your mother grieves; and none can comfort her.
Of what he wrote this is the sum:5. My mother, noblest of the womankind; A man just from my native land has brought me word that father is no more in flesh, and that you grieve, and are disconsolate.6. My mother, all is well; is well for father and is well for you.7. His work in this earth-round is done, and it is nobly done.8. In all the walks of life men cannot charge him with deceit, dishonesty, nor wrong intent.9. Here in this round he finished many heavy tasks, and he has gone from hence prepared to solve the problems of the round of soul.10. Our Father-God is with him there, as he was with him here; and there his angel guards his footsteps lest he goes astray.11. Why should you weep?
There is no power in grief to mend a broken heart.12. The plane of grief is idleness; the busy soul can never grieve; it has no time for grief.13. When grief come trooping through the heart, just lose yourself; plunge deep into the ministry of love, and grief is not.14. Yours is a ministry of love, and all the world is calling out for love.15. Then let the past go with the past; rise from the cares of carnal things and give your life for those who live.16. And if you lose your life in serving life you will sure to find in it the morning sun, the evening dews, in song of bird, in flowers, and in the stars of night.17. In just a little while your problems of this earth-round will be solved; and when your sums are all worked out it will be pleasure unalloyed for you to enter wider fields of usefulness, to solve the greater problems of the soul.18. Strive, then, to be content, and I will come to you some day and bring you richer gifts than gold or precious stones.19. I'm sure that John will care for you, supplying all your needs; and I am with you all the way, Jehoshua.20. And by the hand of one, a merchant, going to Jerusalem, he sent this letter on its way.
(The Hebrews call these seven Spirits, Elohim.)21. And these are they who, in their boundless power, created everything that is, or was.22. These Spirits of the Triune God moved on the face of boundless space and seven ethers were, and every ether had its form of life.23. These forms of life were but the thoughts of God, clothed in the substance of their ether planes.24. (Men call these ether planes the planes of protoplast, of earth, of plant, of beast, of man, of angel and of cherubim.)25. These planes with all their teeming thoughts of God, are never seen by eyes of man in flesh; they are composed of substance far too fine for fleshy eyes to see, and still they constitute the soul of things;26. And with the eyes of soul all creatures see these ether planes, and all forms of life.27. Because all forms of life on every plane are thoughts of God, all creatures think, and every creature is possessed of will, and, in its measure, has the power to choose,28. And in their native planes all creatures are supplied with nourishment from the ethers of their planes.29. And so it was with every living thing until the will became a sluggish will, and then the ethers of the protoplast, the earth, the plant, the beast, the man, began to vibrate very slow.30. The ethers all became more dense, and all the creatures of these planes were clothed with coarser garbs, the garbs of flesh, which men can see; and thus this coarser manifest, which men call physical, appeared.31. And this is what is called the fall of man; but man fell not alone for protoplast, and earth, and plant and beast were all included in the fall.32. The angels and the cherubim fell not; their wills were ever strong, and so they held the ethers of their planes in harmony with God.33. Now, when the ethers reached the rate of atmosphere, and all the creatures of these planes must get their food from atmosphere, the conflict came; and that which the finite man ahs called, survival of the best, became the law,34. The stronger ate the bodies of the weaker manifests; and here is where the carnal law of evolution had its rise.35. And now man, in his utter shamelessness, strikes down and eats the beasts, the beast consumes the plant, the plant thrives on the earth, the earth absorbs the protoplast.36. In yonder kingdom of the soul this carnal evolution is not known, and the great work of master minds is to restore the heritage of man, to bring him back to his estate that he has lost, when he again will live upon the ethers of his native plane.37. The thoughts of God change not; the manifests of life on every plane unfold into perfection of their kind; and as the thoughts of God can never die, there is no death to any being of the seven ethers of the seven Spirits of the Triune God.38. And so an earth is never plant; a beast, or bird, or creeping thing is never man, and man is not, and cannot be, a beast, or bird, or creeping thing.39. The time will come when all these seven manifests will be absorbed, and man, and beast, and plant, and earth and protoplast will be redeemed.40. Barata was amazed; the wisdom of the Jewish sage was a revelation unto him.41. Now, Vidyapati, wisest of the Indian sages, chief of temple Kapavistu, heard Barata speak to Jesus of the origin of man, and heard the answer of the Hebrew prophet, and he said,42. You priests of Kapavistu, hear me speak: We stand to-day upon a crest of time.
Do you not know that such a heaven is for you?7. The man replied, Of heaven we have heard; but then it is so far away, and we must live so many lives before we can reach that place!8. And Jesus said, My brother, man, your thoughts are wrong; your heaven is not far away; and it is not a place of metes and bounds, is not a country to be reached; it is a state of mind.9. God never made a heaven for man; he never made a hell; we are creators and we make our own.10. Now, cease to seek for heaven in the sky; just open up the windows of the hearts, and, like a flood of light, a heaven will come and bring a boundless joy; then toil will be no cruel task.11. The people were amazed, and gathered close to hear this strange young master speak,12. Imploring him to tell them more about the Father-God; about the heaven that men can make on earth; about the boundless joy.13. And Jesus spoke a parable; he said, A certain man possessed a field; the soil was hard and poor.14. By constant toil he scarcely could provide enough of food to keep his family from want.15. One day a miner who could see beneath the soil, in passing on his way, saw this poor man and his unfruitful field.16. He called the weary toiler and he said, My brother, know you not that just below the surface of your barren field rich treasures lie concealed?17. You plough and sow and reap in scanty way, and day by day you tread upon a mine of gold and precious stones.18. This wealth lies not upon the surface of the ground; but if you will dig away the rocky soil, and delve down deep into the earth, you need no longer till the soil for naught.19. The man believed.
The miner surely knows; he said, and I will find the treasures hidden in my field.20. And then he dug away the rocky soil, and deep down in the earth he found a mine of gold.21. And Jesus said, The sons of men are toiling hard on desert plains, and burning sands and rocky soils; are doing what there fathers did, not dreaming they can do aught else.22. Behold, a master comes, and tells them of a hidden wealth; that underneath the rocky soil of carnal things are treasures that no man can count;23. That in the heart the richest gems abound; that he who wills may open the door and find them all.24. And then the people said, Make known to us the way that we may find the wealth that lies within the heart.25. And Jesus opened up the way; the toilers saw another side of life, and toil became a joy.
There is no beauty left, and when the harvest time shall come the gathers will find no fruit.10. The pruner said, Content yourselves with what you think, and come again at harvest time and see.11. And when the harvest time came on the busy neighbours came again; they were surprised.12. The naked stalks had put forth branch and leaf, and heavy clusters of delicious grapes weighed every branch to earth.13. The gatherers rejoiced as, day by day, they carried the rich fruitage to the press.14. Behold the vineyard of the Lord!
the earth is spread with human vines.15. The gorgeous forms and rites of men are branches, and their words are leaves; and these have grown so great that sunlight can no longer reach the heart; there is no fruit.16. Behold, the pruner comes, and with a two-edged knife he cuts away the branches and the leaves of words,17. And naught is left but unclothed stalks of human life.18. The priests and they of pompous show, rebuke the pruner, and would stay him in his work.19. They see no beauty in the stalks of human life; no promises of fruit.20. The harvest time will come and they who scorned the pruner will look on again and be amazed, for they will see the human stalks that seemed so lifeless, bending low with precious fruit.21. And they will hear the harvesters rejoice, because the harvest is so great.22. The priests were not well pleased with Jesus' words; but they rebuked him not; they feared the multitude.
And then the child was well.20. The people were astonished and they said, This surely is the Holy One made flesh, for man alone cannot a fever thus and save a child from death.21. Then many of the people brought their sick, and Jesus spoke the Word, and they were healed.22. Among the Ladaks Jesus tarried many days; he taught them how to heal; how sins are blotted out, and how to make on earth a heaven of joy.23. The people loved him for his words and works, and when he must depart they grieved as children grieve when mother goes away.24. And on the morning when he started on his way the multitudes were there to press his hand.25. To them he spoke a parable; he said, A certain king so loved the people of his land that he sent forth his only son with precious gifts for all.26. The son went everywhere and scattered forth the gifts with lavish hand.27. But there were priests who ministered at shrines of foreign gods, who were not pleased because the king did not through them bestow the gifts.28. And so they sought to cause the people all to hate the son.
1. A Caravan of merchantmen were journeying through the Kashmar vale as Jesus passed that way, and they are going to Lahore, a city of the Hand, the five-stream land.2. The merchantmen had heard the prophet speak, had seen his mighty works in Leh, and they were glad to see him once again.3. And when they knew that he was going to Lahore and then across the Sind, through Persia and the farther West, and that he had no beast on which to ride,4. They freely gave to him a noble bactrian beast, well saddled and equipped, and Jesus journeyed with the caravan.5. And when he reached Lahore, Ajainin and some other Brahmic priests, received him with delight.6. Ajainin was the priest who came to Jesus in the night time in Benares many months before, and heard he words of truth.7. And Jesus was Ajainin's guest; he taught Ajainin many things; revealed to him the secrets of the healing art.8. He taught him how he could control the spirits of the air, the fire, the water and the earth; and he explained to him the secret doctrine of forgiveness, and the blotting out of sins.9. One day Ajainin sat with Jesus in the temple porch; a band of wandering singers and musicians paused before the court to sing and play.10. Their music was most rich and delicate, and Jesus said, Among the high-breed people of the land we hear no sweeter music than that these uncouth children of the wilderness bring here to us.11. From whence this talent and this power?
1. A feast in honour of the magian God was being held, and many men were gathered in Persepolis.2. And on the great day of the feast the ruling magian master said, Within these sacred walls is liberty; whoever wills to speak may speak.3. And Jesus standing in the midst of all the people, said, My brothers, sisters, children of our Father-God:4. Most blest are you among the sons of men today, because you have such just conceptions of the Holy One and man.5. Your purity in worship and in life is pleasing unto God; and to your master, Zarathustra, praise is due.6. Well say you all, There is one God from whose great being there came forth the seven Spirits that created heaven and earth; and manifest unto the sons of men are these great Spirits in the sun, and moon, and stars.7. But in your sacred books we read that two among these seven are of superior strength; that one of these created all the good; the other one created all that evil is.8. I pray you, honoured masters, tell me how that evil can be born of that which is all good?9. A magus rose and said, If you will answer me, your problem will be solved.10. We all do recognize the fact that evil is.
She came to earth to teach to men the power of faith.20. And then he lifted up the child and said, Why wait for anything?
It is no more the fruitful land that Abraham loved so well; the rains come not as in the former times; the vine is not productive now, and withered are the figs.10. But this shall not for ever be; the time will come when all your deserts will rejoice; when flowers will bloom; when all your vines will bend their heads with luscious fruit; shepherds will again be glad.11. And Jesus preached to them the gospel of goodwill, and peace on earth.
In ages long ago, men, wise in nature's laws, sought out and found the place on which your city stands.9. Full well you know that there are parts of earth where its great beating heart throws heavenward etheric waves that meet the ethers from above:10. Where spirit-light and understanding, like the stars of night, shine forth.11. Of all the parts of earth there is no place more sensitised, more truly spirit-blest, than that where Athens stands.12. Yea, all of Greece is blest.
Apollo, with the highest masters of the land and many people from the varied walks of life, stood on the shore to see the Hebrew sage depart; and Jesus said,20. The son of man has been in many lands; has stood in temples of a multitude of foreign gods; has preached the gospel of good will and peace on earth to many people, tribes and tongues;21. Has been received with favour in a multitude of homes; but Greece is, of them all, the royal host.22. The breadth of Grecian thought; the depth of her philosophy; the height of her unselfish aspirations have well fitted her to be the champion of the cause of human liberty and right.23. The fates of war have subjugated Greece, because she trusted in the strength of flesh, and bone and intellect, forgetful of the spirit-life that binds a nation to its source of power.24. But Greece will not for ever sit within the darkness of the shadow land as vassal of a foreign king.25. Lift up your heads, you men of Greece; the time will come when Greece will breathe the ethers of the Holy Breath, and be a mainspring of the spirit power of earth.26. But God must be your shield, your buckler, and your tower of strength.27. And then he said, Farewell.
When last the son of Mary saw these sacred groves he was a babe;3. And now a man grown strong by buffeting of every kind; a teacher who had stirred the multitudes in many lands.4. And Jesus told the aged teachers all about his life; about his journeyings in foreign lands; about the meetings with the masters and about his kind receptions by the multitudes.5. Elihu and Salome heard his story with delight; they lifted up their eyes to heaven and said,6. Our Father-God, let now thy servants go in peace, for we have seen the glory of the Lord;7. And we have talked with him, the messenger of love, and of the covenant of peace on earth, good will to men.8. Through him shall all the nations of the earth be blest; through him, Immanuel.9. And Jesus stayed in Zoan many days; and then went forth unto the city of the sun, that men call Heliopolis, and sought admission to the temple of the sacred brotherhood.10. The council of the brotherhood convened, and Jesus stood before the hierophant; he answered all the questions that were asked with clearness and with power.11. The hierophant exclaimed, Rabboni of the rabbinate, why come you here?
Your wisdom is the wisdom of the gods; why seek for wisdom in the halls of men?12. And Jesus said, In every way of earth-life I would walk; in every hall of learning I would sit; the heights that any man has gained, these I would gain;13. What any man has suffered I would meet, that I may know the griefs, the disappointments and the sore temptations of my brother man; that I may know just how to succour those in need.14. I pray you, brothers, let me go into your dismal crypts; and I would pass the hardest of your tests.15. The master said, Take then the vow of secret brotherhood.
Few men of earth, so young, have reached such heights of fame.7. Now, if you do not waste your life in search for hidden things that men can never comprehend, you may be founder of a school of thought that will insure you endless fame;8. For your philosophy is deeper far than that of Plato, and your teachings please the common people more than those of Socrates.9. Why seek for mystic light within these antiquated dens?
Ambition covered up his face and fled away, and Jesus said,16. The wealth, the honour, and the fame of earth are but the baubles of an hour.17. When this short span of earthly life has all been measured out, man's bursting baubles will be buried with his bones,18. Yea, what a man does for his selfish self will make no markings on the credit side of life.19. The good that men for other men shall do becomes a ladder strong on which the soul may climb to wealth, and power and fame of God's own kind, that cannot pass away.20. Give me the poverty of men, the consciousness of duty done in love, the approbation of my God, and I will be content.21. And then he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,22. My Father-God, I thank thee for this hour.
1. When other certain days had passed, the guide led Jesus to the Hall of Mirth, a hall most richly furnished, and replete with everything a carnal heart could wish.2. The choicest viands and the most delicious wines were on the boards; and maids, in gay attire, served all with grace and cheerfulness.3. And men and women, richly clad, were there; and they were wild with joy; they sipped from every cup of mirth.4. And Jesus watched the happy throng in silence for a time, and then a man in garb of sage came up and said, Most happy is the man who, like the bee, can gather sweets from every flower.5. The wise man is the one who seeks for pleasure, and can find it everywhere.6. At best man's span of life on earth is short, and then he dies and goes, he knows not where.7. Then let us eat, and drink, and dance, and sing, and get the joys of life, for death comes on apace.8. It is but foolishness to spend a life for other men.
Of what are fetters made?7. And in his might he rose, and what he thought were chains were only worthless cords that parted at his touch.8. And then he laughed and said, The chains that bind men to the carcasses of earth are forged in fancy's shop; are made of air, and welded in illusion's fires.9. If man will stand erect, and use the power of will, his chains will fall, like worthless rags; for will and faith are stronger than the stoutest chains that men have ever made.10. And Jesus stood erect among the hungry beasts, and birds, and said, What is this darkness that envelops me?11. 'Tis but the absence of the light.
Shall I forget all creatures else, and lose my life in this fair maiden, though she is the highest type of beauty, purity and love?21. Into its very depths his soul was stirred, and long he wrestled with this angel-idol of his heart.22. But when the day was almost lost, his higher ego rose in might; he found himself again, and then he said,23. Although my heart shall break I will not fail in this my hardest task; I will be victor over carnal love.24. And when again the maiden came, and offered him her hand and heart, he said,25. Fair one, your very presence thrills me with delight; your voice is benediction to my soul; my human self would fly with you, and be contented in your love;26. But all the world is craving for a love that I have come to manifest.27. I must, then, bid you go; but we will meet again; our ways on earth will not be cast apart.28. I see you in the hurrying throngs of earth as minister of love; I hear your voice in song, that wins the hearts of men to better things.29. And then in sorrow and in tears the maiden went away, and Jesus was again alone.30. And instantly the great bells of the temple rang; the singers sung a new, new song; the grotto blazed with light.31. The hierophant himself appeared, and said, All hail!
He said,27. For days and months and years I've sought to learn this highest truth that man can learn on earth, and here a child, fresh brought to earth, has told it all in one short breath.28. No wonder David said, O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!29. Out of the mouths of babes and suckings hast thou ordained strength.30. And then he laid his hand upon the maiden's head, and said, I'm sure the blessings of my Father-God will rest upon you, child, for evermore.
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.
Lo, God is Thought, and Thought is God.18. Then Vidyapati wrote the second postulate:19. Eternal Thought is one; in essence it is two--Intelligence and Force; and when they breathe a child is born; this child is Love.20. And thus the Triune God stands forth, whom men call Father-Mother-Child.21. This Triune God is one; but like the one of light, in essence he is seven.22. And when the Triune God breathes forth, lo, seven Spirits stand before his face; these are creative attributes.23. Men call them lesser gods, and in their image they made man.24. And Kaspar wrote the third:25. Man was a thought of God, formed in the image of the Septonate, clothed in the substances of soul.26. And his desires were strong; he sought to manifest on every plane of life, and for himself he made a body of the ethers of the earthly forms, and so descended to the plane of earth.27. In this descent he lost his birthright; lost his harmony with God, and made discordant all the notes of life.28. Inharmony and evil are the same; so evil is the handiwork of man.29. Ashbina wrote the fourth:30. Seeds do not germinate in light; they do not grow until they find the soil, and hide themselves away from light.31. Man was evolved a seed of everlasting life; but in the ethers of the Triune God the light was far too great for seeds to grow;32. And so man sought the soil of carnal life, and in the darksomeness of earth he found a place where he could germinate and grow.33. The seed has taken root and grown full well.34. The tree of human life is rising from the soil of earthy things, and, under natural law, is reaching up to perfect form.35. There are no supernatural acts of God to lift a man from carnal life to spirit blessedness; he grows as grows the plant, and in due time is perfected.36. The quality of soul that makes it possible for man to rise to spirit life is purity.
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.
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.
Though carnal man will prostitute its sacred laws, symbolic rites and forms, for selfish ends, and make it but an outward show, the few will find through it the kingdom of the soul.15. And when the better age shall come the Universal Church will stand upon the seven postulates, and will be built according to the pattern given.16. The time has come; I go my way unto Jerusalem, and by the power of living faith, and by the strength that you have given.17. And in the name of God, our Father-God, the kingdom of the soul shall be established on the seven hills.18. And all the peoples, tribes and tongues of earth shall enter in.19. The Prince of Peace will take his seat upon the throne of power; the Triune God will then be All in All.20. And all the sages said, Amen.21. And Jesus went his way, and after many days, he reached Jerusalem; and then he sought his home in Galilee.
It is no sign that one is son of God because he does a miracle; the devils can do mighty things.8. Did not the black magicians do great things before the Pharaohs?9. My words and deeds in all the walks of life shall be the proof of my messiahship.10. And then the tempter said, If you will go into Jerusalem, and from the temple pinnacle cast down yourself to earth, the people will believe that you are the Messiah sent from God.11. This you can surely do; for did not David say, He gives his angels charge concerning you, and with their will they uphold lest you should fall?12. And Jesus said, I may not tempt the Lord, my God.13. And then the tempter said, Look forth upon the world; behold its honours and its fame!
Lord, tell us what to do.18. And Jesus said, The foxes of the earth have homes, the birds have nests; I have no, place to lay my head.19. He who would follow me must give up all cravings of the self and lose his life in saving life.20. I come to save the lost, and man is saved when he is rescued from himself.
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.
Jesus teaches the people, revealing the difference between the kings of earth and the kings of heaven.
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.
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.
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.
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. The Christines turned their faces toward the land of Galilee; but when they reached the city of Samaria, the multitudes pressed hard about them, begging them to tarry in their city for a while.2. And then they went up to the synagogue, and Jesus opened up the book of Moses, and he read:3. In thee and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blest.4. And then he closed the book and said, These words were spoken by the Lord of hosts unto our father Abraham, and Israel has been blessedness to all the world.5. We are his seed; but not a tithe of the great work that we were called to do has yet been done.6. The Lord of hosts has set apart the Israelites to teach the unity of God and man; but one can never teach that which he does not demonstrate in life.7. Our God is Spirit, and in him all wisdom, love and strength abide.8. In every man these sacred attributes are budding forth, and in due time they will unfold; the demonstration will completed be, and man will comprehend the fact of unity.9. And you, ruler of the synagogue, and you, these priests, are honoured servants of the Lord of hosts.10. All men are looking unto you for guidance in the ways of life; example is another name for priest; so what you would that people be, that you must be.11. A simple godly life may win ten thousand souls to purity and right.12. And all the people said, Amen.13. Then Jesus left the synagogue, and at the hour of evening prayer he went up to the sacred grove, and all the people turned their faces toward their holy mount and prayed.14. And Jesus prayed.15. And as he sat in silent mood a voice of soul spoke to his soul imploring help.16. And Jesus saw a woman on a couch in sore distress; for she was sick nigh unto death.17. She could not speak, but she had heard that Jesus was a man of God, and in her heart she called on him for help.18. And Jesus helped; he did not speak; but like a flash of light, a mighty virtue from his soul filled full the body of the dying one, and she arose, and joined her kindred while they prayed.19. Her kindred were astonished and they said to her, How were you healed?
And she replied,20. I do not know; I simply asked the man of God in thought for healing power, and in a moment I was well.21. The people said, The gods have surely come to earth; for man has not the power to heal by thought.22. But Jesus said, The greatest power in heaven and earth is thought.23. God made the universe by thought; he paints the lily and the rose with thought.24. Why think it strange that I should send a healing thought and change the ethers of disease and death to those of health and life?25. Lo, you shall see far greater things than this, for by the power of holy thought, my body will be changed from carnal flesh to spirit form; and so will yours.26. When Jesus had thus said he disappeared, and no one saw him go.27. His own disciples did not comprehend the change; they knew not where their master went, and they went on their way.28. But as they walked and talked about the strange event, lo, Jesus came and walked with them to Nazareth of Galilee.
1. Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Paraca and of Galilee was dissipated, selfish and tyrannical.2. He drove his wife away from home that he might take as wife Herodias, the wife of one, a near of kin, a woman, like himself, immoral and unjust.3. The city of Tiberius, upon the shores of Galilee, was Herod's home.4. Now John, the harbinger, had left the Salim Springs to teach the people by the sea of Galilee; and he rebuked the wicked ruler and his stolen wife for all their sins.5. Herodias was enraged because the preacher dared accuse her and her husband of their crimes;6. And she prevailed on Herod to arrest the harbinger and cast him in a dungeon in the castle of Machaerus that stood beside the Bitter Sea.7. And Herod did as she required; then she lived in peace in all her sins, for none were bold enough to censure her again.8. The followers of John were warned to speak not of the trial and imprisonment of John.9. By order of the court, they were restrained from teaching in the public halls.10. They could not talk about this better life that Herod called the Heresy of John.11. When it was known that John had been imprisoned by the tetrarch court, the friends of Jesus thought it best that he should not remain in Galilee.12. But Jesus said, I have no need of fear; my time has not yet come; no man can stay me till my work is done.13. And when they asked why God permitted Herod to imprison John, he said,14. Behold yon stalk of grain to perfectness, it is of no more worth; it falls, becoming part of earth again from which it came.15. John is a stalk of golden wheat; he brought unto maturity the richest grain of all the earth; his work is done.16. If he had said another word it might have marred the symmetry of what is now a noble life.17. And when my work is done the rulers will do unto me what they have done to John, and more.18. All these events are part of God's own plan.
Do here among your kindred all the mighty works that you have done in other towns.10. And Jesus said, No prophet is received with honour by the people of his native land; and prophets are not sent to every one.11. Elijah was a man of God; he had the power and he closed the gates of heaven, and it did not rain for forty months; and when he spoke the Word, the rain come on, the earth brought forth again.12. And there were many widows in the land; but this Elijah went to none but Zarephath, and she was blessed.13. And when Elisha lived, lo, many lepers were in Israel, but none were cleansed save one--the Syrian who had faith.14. You have no faith; you seek for signs to satisfy your curious whims; but you shall see not till you open up your eyes of faith.15. And then the people were enraged; they rushed upon him, bound him down with cords, and took him to a precipice not far away, intent to cast him down to death;16. But when they thought they held him fast, he disappeared; unseen he passed among the angry men, and went his way.17. The people were confounded and they said, What manner of a man is this?18. And when they came again to Nazareth, they found him teaching in the synagogue.19. They troubled him no more for they were sore afraid.
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.
He said,4. Isaiah, prophet of the Lord of hosts, looked forward and he saw this day; he saw the people standing by the sea, and he exclaimed,5. The land of Zebulon and Napthali, land beyond the Jordan and toward the sea, the Gentile Galilee,6. The people were in darkness, knowing not the way; but, lo, they saw the Day Star rise; a light streamed forth; they saw the way of life; they walked therein.7. And you are blest beyond all people of the earth to-day, because you first may see the light, and may become the children of the light.8. Then Jesus said to Peter, Bring your nets aboard, and put out in the deep.9. And Peter did as Jesus bade him do; but in a faithless way he said, This is a useless trip; there are no fish upon this shore of Galilee to-day; with Andrew I have toiled all night, and taken naught.10. But Jesus saw beneath the surface of the sea; he saw a multitude of fish.
If Adam came from God pray, was he offspring, was he son?33. We are the children of this son of God; then tell me, learned priest, Who are we if not sons of God?34. The priest had urgent business and he went his way.35. And Jesus said, All men are sons of God and if they live a holy life they always are at home with God.36. They see and understand the works of God, and in his sacred name they can perform these works.37. The lightnings and the storms are messengers of God as well as the sunshine, rain and dew.38. The virtue of the heavens are in God's hands, and every loyal son may use these virtues and these powers.39. Man is the delegate of God to do his will on earth, and man can heal the sick, control the spirit of the air, and raise the dead.40. Because I have the power to do these things is nothing strange.
All men may gain the power to do these things; but they must conquer all passions of the lower self; and they can conquer if they will.41. So man is God on earth, and he who honours God must honour man; for God and man are one, as father and the child are one.42.
Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.8. Give us this day our needed bread;9. Help us forget the debts that other people owe to us, that all our debts may be discharged.10. And shield us from the tempter's snares that are too great for us to bear;11. And when they come give us the strength to overcome.12. If you would be discharged from all the debts you owe to God and man, the debts you have incurred by wilfully transgressing law,13. You must pass by the debts of every man; for as you deal with other men your God will deal with you.14. And when you fast you may not advertise the deed.15. When fast the hypocrites they paint their faces, look demure, assume a pious pose, that they may seem to men to fast.16. A fast is deed of soul, and like a prayer, it is a function of the silence of the soul.17. God never passes by unnoticed any prayer, or fast.
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.
Is it comprised in what a priest or officer may say?5. Is it the scroll on which the officer or priest has written the permission for the two to live in marriage bonds?6. Is it the promise of the two that they will love each other until death?7. Is love a passion that is subject to the will of man?8. Can man pick up his love, as he would pick up precious gems, and lay it down, or give it out to any one?9. Can love be bought and sold like sheep?10. Love is the power of God that binds two souls and makes them one; there is no power on earth that can dissolve the bond.11. The bodies may be forced apart by man or death for just a little time; but they will meet again.12. Now, in this bond of God we find the marriage tie; all other unions are but bonds of straw, and they who live in them commit adultery.13. The same as they who satisfy their lust without the sanction of an officer or priest.14. But more than this; the man or woman who indulges lustful thoughts commits adultery.15. Whom God has joined together man cannot part; whom man has joined together live in sin.16. Upon a table of the law, the great lawgiver wrote, Thou shalt not steal.17. Before the eyes of law a man to steal must take a thing that can be seen with eyes of flesh, without the knowledge or consent of him to whom the thing belongs.18. But, lo, I say that he who in his heart desires to possess that which is not his own, and would deprive the owner of the thing without his knowledge or consent, is in the sight of God, a thief.19. The things that men see not with eyes of flesh are of more worth than are the things that man can see.20. A man's good name is worth a thousand mines of gold, and he who says a word or does a deed that injures or defames that name has taken what is not his own, and is a thief.21. Upon a table of the law we also read: Thou shalt not covet anything.22. To covet is an all-consuming wish to have what is not right for one to have.23. And such a wish, within the spirit of the law, is theft.
1. The law has said: Thou shalt not lie; but in the eyes of law a man to lie must tell in words what is not true.2. Now, in the light of spirit law, deceit in any form is nothing but a lie.3. A man may lie by look or act; yea, even by his silence may deceive, and thus be guilty in the eyes of Holy Breath.4. It has been said in olden times: Thou shalt not swear by thine own life.5. But, lo, I say, Swear not at all; not by the head, the heart, the eye, nor hand; not by the sun, the moon, nor stars;6. Not by the name of God, nor by the name of any spirit, good or bad.7. You shall not swear by anything; for in an oath there is no gain.8. A man whose word must be propped up by oath of any kind is not trustworthy in the sight of God or man.9. By oath you cannot make a leaf to fall, nor turn the colour of a hair.10. The man of worth just speaks and men know that he speaks the truth.11. The man who pours out many words to make think he speaks the truth, is simply making smoke to hide a lie.12. And there are many men with seeming double hearts; men who would serve two masters at a time--two masters quite adverse.13. Men feign to worship God upon the Sabbath day and then pay court to Beelzebul on every other day.14. No man can serve two masters at a time no more than he can ride two asses at a time that go in different ways.15. The man who feigns to worship God and Beelzebul is foe of God, a pious devil and a curse of men.16. And men cannot lay treasures up in heaven and earth at once.17. Then, lo, I say, Lift up your eyes and see the safety vaults of heaven, and there deposit every gem.18. Where moth and rust cannot corrupt; where thieves cannot break in and steal.19. There are no safety vaults on earth; no place secure from moth, and rust and thieves.20. The treasures of the earth are but illusive things that pass away.21. Be not deceived; your treasures are the anchor of the soul, and where your treasures are your heart will be.22. Fix not your heart upon the things of earth; be anxious not about the things to eat, or drink or wear.23. God cares for those who trust in him and serve the race.24. Behold the birds!
They praise God in their songs; the earth is made more glorious by their ministry of joy; God keeps them in the hollow of his hand,25. And not a sparrow falls to earth without his care; and every one that falls shall rise again.26. Behold the flowers of earth!
they trust in God and grow; they make the earth resplendent with their beauty and perfume.27. Look at the lilies of the field, the messengers of holy love.
Yea, and more; a messenger whom God had sent to pave the way for what you see and hear this day.22. Among the men of earth a greater man has never lived than John.23. Behold I say, This man whom Herod bound in chains and cast into a prison cell is God's Elijah come again to earth.24. Elijah, who did not pass the gate of death, whose body of this flesh was changed, and he awoke in Paradise.25. When John came forth and preached the gospel of repentance for the cleansing of the soul, the common folks believed and were baptised.26. The lawyers and the Pharisees accepted not the teachings of this man; were not baptised.27. Behold, neglected opportunities will never come again.28. Behold, the people are unstable as the waters of the sea; they seek to be excused from righteousness.29. John came and ate no bread, and drank no wine.
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.
and my brothers, who are they?16. And then he spoke a word aside unto the foreign masters and the twelve; he said,17. Behold, men recognise their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers here in flesh; but when the veil is rent and men walk in the realms of soul,18. The tender lines of love that bind the groups of fleshly kin in families will fade away.19. Not that the love for anyone will be the less; but men will see in all the motherhood, the fatherhood, the sisterhood, the brotherhood of man.20. The family groups of earth will all be lost in universal love and fellowship divine.21. Then to the multitudes he said, Whoever lives the life and does the will of God is child of God and is my mother, father, sister, friend.22. And then he went aside to speak to mother and his other kindred in the flesh.23. But he saw more than these.
a love beyond the love of any fleshly kin;24. Who was the sorest tempter in the temple Heliopolis beside the Nile, who sung for him the sacred songs, was there.25. The recognition was of kindred souls, and Jesus said,26. Behold, for God has brought to us a power men cannot comprehend, a power of purity and love;27. To make more light the burdens of the hour, to be a balm for wounded souls;28. To win the multitude to better ways by sacred song and holy life.29. Behold, for Miriam who stood beside the sea and sung the song of victory when Moses led the way, will sing again.30. And all the choirs of heaven will join and sing the glad refrain:31. Peace, peace on earth; good will to men!32. And Miriam stood before the waiting throngs and sung again the songs of victory, and all the people said, Amen.
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.
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.
Join in the song, the new, new song.3. The Lord of hosts has stooped to hear the cries of men, and lo, the citadel of Beelzebul is shaking as a leaf before the wind.4. The sword of Gideon is again unsheathed.5. The Lord, with his own hand has pulled far back the curtains of the night; the sun of truth is flooding heaven and earth;6. The demons of the dark, of ignorance and death, are fleeing fast; are disappearing as the dew beneath the morning sun.7. God is our strength and song; is our salvation and our hope, and we will build anew a house for him;8. Will cleanse our hearts, and purify their chambers, every one.
I must not give my grain away; I must not let it go to waste; and then he said,20. This will I do; I will tear down these little barns and built up larger ones; there I will store away my grain and I will say,21. My soul take now your ease; you have enough for many years; eat, drink and fill yourself and be content.22. But God looked down and saw the man; he saw his selfish heart and said,23. You foolish man, this night your soul will quit its house of flesh; then who will have your garnered wealth?24. You men of Galilee, lay not up treasures in the vaults of earth; accumulated wealth will blight your soul.25. God does not give men wealth to hoard away in secret vaults.
1. And Jesus left the multitudes and went with his disciples up to Mary's home; and as they sat about the board to dine he said,2. My little flock, fear not; it is your Father's will that you shall rule the kingdom of the soul.3. A ruler in the house of God is servant of the Lord of Hosts, and man cannot serve God except by serving men.4. A servant in the house of God cannot be servant in the house of wealth; nor in the synagogue of sense.5. If you are tied to lands, or bonds, or wealth of earth, your hearts are knit to things of earth; for where your treasures are there are your hearts.6. Dispose of all your wealth, distribute it among the poor, and put your trust in God, and you nor yours will ever come to want.7. This is a test of faith, and God will not accept the service of faithless one.8. The time is ripe; your Master comes upon the clouds; the eastern sky is glowing with his presence now.9. Put on reception robes; gird up your loins; trim up your lamps and fill them well with oil, and be prepared to meet your Lord; when you are ready, he will come.10. Thrice blessed are the servants who are ready to receive their Lord.11. Behold, for he will gird himself, and will prepare a sumptuous feast for every one, and he himself will serve.12. It matters not when he shall come; it may be at the second watch; it may be at the third; but blessed are the servants who are ready to receive.13. You cannot leave your door ajar and go to sleep, and wait in blissful ignorance of the fleeting time;14. For thieves will surely come and take away your goods and bind and carry you away to robbers' dens.15. And if you are not carried forth, the Master when he comes will not regard a sleeping guard as friend, but as a foe.16. Beloved, these are times when every man must be awake and at his post, for none can tell the hour nor the day when man shall be revealed.17. And Peter said, Lord is this parable for us, or for the multitudes?18. And Jesus, Why need you ask?
The prince of peace must first be prince of strife.11. This leaven of truth which I have brought to men will stir the demons up, and nations, cities, families will be at war within themselves.12. The five that have been dwelling in a home of peace will be divided now, and two shall war with three;13. The son will stand against his sire; the mother and the daughter will contend; yea, strife will reign in every home.14. The self and greed and doubt will rage into a fever heat, and then, because of me, the earth will be baptised in human blood.15. But right is king; and when the smoke is cleared away the nations will learn war no more; the Prince of Peace will come to reign.16. Behold, the signs of what I say are in the sky; but men can see them not.17. When men behold a cloud rise in the west they say, A shower of rain will come, and so it does; and when the wind blows from the south they say, The weather will be hot; and it is so.18. Lo, men can read the signs of earth and sky, but they cannot discern the signs of Holy Breath; but you shall know.19. The storm of wrath comes on; the carnal man will seek a cause to hale you into court, and cast you into prison cells.20. And when these times shall come let wisdom guide; do not resent.
Resentment makes more strong the wrath of evil men.21. There is a little sense of justice and of mercy in the vilest men of earth.22. By taking heed to what you do and say and trusting in the guidance of the Holy Breath, you may inspire this sense to grow.23. You thus may make the wrath of men to praise the Lord.24. The Christines went their way, and came unto Bethsaida and taught.
and was it done to punish them for crimes?21. And we remember well when once a band of earnest Jews from Galilee were in Jerusalem, and at a feast and were, for fancied crimes against the Roman law,22. Cut down within the very temple court by Pontius Pilate; and their blood became their sacrifice.23. Did God bring on this slaughter all because these men were doubly vile?24. And then we bring to mind that once a tower called Siloam, graced the defences of Jerusalem, and, seemingly, without a cause it tottered and it fell to earth and eighteen men were killed.25. Were these men vile?
and were they slain as punishment for some great crime?26. And Jesus said, We cannot look upon a single span of life and judge of anything.27. There is a law that men must recognise: Result depends on cause.28. Men are not motes to float about within the air of one short life, and then be lost in nothingness.29. They are undying parts of the eternal whole that come and go, lo, many times into the air of earth and of the great beyond, just to unfold the God-like self.30. A cause may be a part of one brief life; results may not be noted till another life.31. The cause of your results cannot be found within my life, nor can the cause of my results be found in yours.32. I cannot reap except I sow and I must reap whate'er I sow,33. The law of all eternities is known to master minds:34. Whatever men do unto other men the judge and executioner will do to them.35. We do not note the execution of this law among the sons of men.36. We note the weak dishonoured, trampled on and slain by those men call the strong.37. We note that men with woodlike heads are seated in the chairs of state;38. Are kings and judges, senators and priests, while men with giant intellects are scavengers about the streets.39. We note that women with a moiety of common sense, and not a whit of any other kind, are painted up and dressed as queens,40. Becoming ladies of the courts of puppet kings, because they have the form of something beautiful; while God's own daughters are their slaves, or serve as common labourers in the field.41. The sense of justice cries aloud: This is a travesty on right.42. So when men see no further than one little span of life it is no wonder that they say, There is no God, or if there is a God he is a tyrant and should die.43. If you would judge aright of human life, you must arise and stand upon the crest of time and note the thoughts and deeds of men as they have come up through the ages past;44. For we must know that man is not a creature made of clay to turn again to clay and disappear.45. He is a part of the eternal whole.
1. And Jesus stood beside the sea and taught; the multitudes pressed close upon him and he went into a boat that was near by and put a little ways from shore, and then he spoke in parables; he said,2. Behold, a sower took his seed and went into his field to sow.3. With lavish hand he scattered forth the seed and some fell in the hardened paths that men had made,4. And soon were crushed beneath the feet of other men; and birds came down and carried all the seeds away.5. Some seed fell on rocky ground where there was little soil; they grew and soon the blades appeared and promised much;6. But then there was no depth of soil, no chance for nourishment, and in the heat of noonday sun they withered up and died.7. Some seed fell where thistles grew, and found no earth in which to grow and they were lost;8. But other seed found lodgement in the rich and tender soil and grew apace, and in the harvest it was found that some brought forth a hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold.9. They who have ears to hear may hear; they who hearts to understand may know.10. Now, his disciples were beside him in the boat, and Thomas asked, Why do you speak in parables?11. And Jesus said, My words, like every master's words, are dual in their sense.12. To you who know the language of the soul, my words have meanings far too deep for other men to comprehend.13. The other sense of what I say is all the multitude can understand; these words are food for them; the inner thoughts are food for you.14. Let every one reach forth and take the food that he is ready to receive.15. And then he spoke that all might hear; he said, Hear you the meaning of the parable:16. Men hear my words and understand them not, and then the carnal self purloins the seed, and not a sign of spirit life appears.17. This is the seed that fell within the beaten paths of men.18. And others hear the words of life, and with a fiery zeal receive them all; they seem to comprehend the truth and promise well;19. But troubles come; discouragements arise; there is no depth of thought; their good intentions wither up and die.20. These are the seeds that fell in stony ground.21. And others hear the words of truth and seem to know their worth; but love of pleasure, reputation, wealth and fame fill all the soil; the seeds are nourished not and they are lost.22. These are the seeds that fell among the thistles and the thorns.23. But others hear the words of truth and comprehend them well; they sink down deep into their souls; they live the holy life and all the world is blest.24. These are the seeds that fell in fertile soil, that brought forth fruit abundantly.25. You men of Galilee, take heed to how you hear and how you cultivate your fields; for if you slight the offers of this day, the sower may not come to you again in this or in the age to come.26. Then Jesus spoke another parable; he said:27. Then kingdom I may liken to a field in which a man sowed precious seed;28. But while he slept an evil one went forth and sowed a measure full of darnel seed; then went his way.29. The soil was good, and so the wheat and darnel grew; and when the servants saw the tares among the wheat, they found the owner of the field and said,30. You surely sowed good seed; from whence these tares?31. The owner said, Some evil one out has sown the seed of tares.32. The servants said, Shall we go out and pull up by the roots the tares and burn them in the fire?33. The owner said, No, that would not be well.
The evil things of men are all consumed in fire; the gold survives.17. The inner kingdom of the soul I may explain in parables:18. The son of man goes forth and scatters seeds of truth; God waters well the soil; the seeds show life and grow; first comes the blade, and then the stalk, and then the ear, and then the full wheat in the ear.19. The harvest comes and, lo, the reapers bear the ripened sheaves into the garner of the Lord.20. Again, this kingdom of the soul is like a little seed that men may plant in fertile soil.21. (A thousand of these seeds would scarcely be a shekel's weight.)22. The tiny seed begins to grow; it pushes through the earth, and after years of growth it is a mighty tree and birds rest in its leafy bowers and men find refuge 'neath its sheltering boughs from sun and storm.23. Again, the truth, the spirit of the kingdom of the soul, is like a ball of leaven that a woman hid in measures, three, of flour and in a little time the whole was leavened.24. Again, the kingdom of the soul is like a treasure hidden in a field which one has found, and straightway goes his way and sells all that he has and buys the field.25. When Jesus had thus said he went alone into a mountain pass near by to pray.
There is no safety for your life with me;24. For evil men will take my life as they have taken John's.25. The foxes of the earth have safe retreats; the birds have nests secure among the hidden rocks, but I have not a place where I may lay my head and rest secure.26. Then an apostle said, Lord, suffer me to tarry here a while, that I may take my father, who is dead, and lay him in the tomb.27. But Jesus said, The dead can care for those who die; the living wait for those who live; come, follow me.28. The evening came; three boats put out to sea and Jesus rested in the foremost boat; he slept.29. A storm came on; the boats were tossed about like toys upon the sea.30. The waters swept the decks; the hardy boatmen were afraid lest all be lost.31. And Thomas found the master fast asleep; he called, and Jesus woke.32. And Thomas said, Behold the storm!
He took the book of Psalms and read:7. Blest is the man who puts his trust in God, respecting not the proud nor such as turn aside to lies.8. O lord, my God, the works that thou hast done for us are wonderful; and many are thy thoughts for us; we cannot count them all,9. Thou dost not call for sacrifice, nor offerings of blood; burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou dost not want;10. And lo, I come to do thy will, O God, thy law is in my heart,11. And I have preached the word of righteousness and peace unto the thronging multitudes; I have declared the counsel of my God in full.12. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and grace.13. I have not kept thy loving-kindness and thy truth away from men; I have declared them to the multitudes.14. O Lord, make wide my lips that I may tell thy praise; I do not bring the sacrifice of blood, nor yet burnt offerings for sin.15. The sacrifices I would bring to thee, O God, are purity in life, a contrite heart, a spirit full of faith and love, and these thou wilt receive.16. And when he had thus read, he gave the book back to the keeper of the books, and then he said,17. Upon these ends of earth these messages of God have come.18. Our people have exalted sacrificial rites and have neglected mercy, justice and the rights of men.19. You Pharisees, you priests, you scribes, your God surfeited with blood; God does not heed your prayers; you stand before your burning victims; but you stand in vain.20. Turn you unto the testimonies of the law; reform and turn to God, and you shall live.21. Let not your altars be accursed again with smoke of innocence.22. Bring unto God as sacrifice a broken and a contrite heart.23. Lift from your fellow men the burdens that you have imposed.24. And if you hearken not, and if you turn not from your evil ways, lo, God will smite this nation with a curse.25. And when he had thus said he stood aside, and all the people were astonished, and they said,26. Where did this man get all his knowledge and his power?
Lo, we can speak, and all the spirits of the fire, water, earth and air will stand in our defence.24. We can command and many legions of the angel world would come and strike our enemies to earth.25. But it is best that not a power of heaven or earth should come to our relief.
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.
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.
Let all the earth hear him.28. When the disciples heard the voice they were afraid; they fell upon the ground and prayed.29. And Jesus came; he touched them and he said, Arise, fear not; lo, I am here.30. Then they arose, and as they looked about they saw no one; the men had gone.
And then he called to him a little child; he took it in his arms and said.10. The greatest is the little child, and if you would be great at all you must become as is this child in innocence, in truth, in purity in life.11. Great men scorn not the little things of earth; he who regards and honours such a child, regards and honours me, and he who scorns a child, scorns me.12. If you would enter through the kingdom gate you must be humble as this little child.13. Hear me, you men, This child, as every other child, has one to plead its cause before the throne of God.14. You scorn it at your peril, men, for lo, I say, its counterpart beholds the face of God at every moment, every day.15. And hear me once again, He who shall cause a little one to stumble and to fall is marked, accursed; and it were better far if he had drowned himself.16. Behold, offences everywhere!
Men find occasions for to sin and fall, and they grow strong by rising when they fall;17. But woe to him who causes other men to stumble and to fall.18. Be on your guard, you men of God, lest you constrain another man to fall; beware lest you fall into sinful ways yourselves.19. Now, if your hands cause you to sin, you better cut them off; for it is better far to have no hands and not be guilty in the sight of God and men, than to be perfect in your form and lose your soul.20. And if your feet should cause offence, you better cut them off; for it is better far to enter into life without your feet than fall beneath the curse.21. And if your eyes, or ears, cause you to sin, you better lose them all than lose your soul.22. Your thoughts and words and deeds will all be tried by fire.23. Remember that you are the salt of earth; but if you lose the virtues of the salt, you are but refuse in the sight of God.24. Retain the virtues of the salt of life and be at peace among yourselves.25. The world is full of men who have not in themselves the salt of life, and they are lost.
And Lazarus said, Teach me to pray.2. And Jesus said, The prayer I taught the twelve to pray while we were up in Galilee is one acceptable to God; and when you pray just say,3. Our Father-God who art in heaven; holy is thy name; thy kingdom come; they will be done on earth as it is done in heaven;4. Give us this day our needed bread;5. Help us forget the debts that other people owe to us, that all our debts may be discharged;6. And shield us from the tempter's snares that are too great for us to bear;7. And when they come give us the strength to overcome.8. And Jesus said, The answer to your prayer may not appear in fulness in a little time.9. Be not discouraged; pray again and then again, for God will hear.10. And then he spoke a parable; he said, A housewife was alone at night and, lo, some guests arrived, and they were hungry, having had no food for all the day.11. The housewife had no bread, and so at midnight she went forth and called a friend and said, Loan me three loaves of bread, for guests have come, and I have naught for them to eat.12. The friend replied, Why do you trouble me at midnight hour?
1. The time had come for the return of the three score and ten whom Jesus sent abroad to preach.2. And Jesus, Peter, James and John began their journey back to Galilee.3. They went up through Samaria; they passed through many villages and towns, and everywhere the people thronged the ways to see the man the seventy had told about; and Jesus taught and healed the sick.4. And when they reached Capernaum the seventy were there; and they were filled with joy; they said,5. The Spirit of the Lord of hosts was with us all the way, and we were filled.6. The power of the sacred Word was manifest in us; we healed the sick; we caused the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, the blind to see.7. The very devils trembled when we spoke the Word, and they were subject unto us.8. And Jesus said, As you were going on your way, the heavens were bright with light, the earth was bright, they seemed to meet and be at one; and I beheld, and Satan fell as lightning from the heavens.9. Behold, for you have power to tread on serpents and on scorpions, and these are symbols of the enemies of men.
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?
No one is truly good but God himself.21. And God has said, If you would enter into life, keep the Commandments of the law.22. The young man asked, To which commands did he refer?23. And Jesus said, You shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not do adulterous things; you shall not falsely testify;24. and you shall love your God with all your heart, and you shall love your neighbour as yourself.25. The man replied, These things I have observed from youth; what lack I yet?26. And Jesus said, One thing you lack; your heart is fixed on things of earth; you are not free.27. Go forth and sell all that you have, and give your money to the poor, and come follow me, and you shall have eternal life.28. The man was grieved at what the master said; for he was rich; he hid his face and went in sorrow on his way.29. And Jesus looked upon the sorrowing man and said, It is so hard for men with hoarded wealth to enter through the door into the kingdom of the soul.30. And his disciples were amazed at what he said.31. He answered them and said, I tell you, men, that they who trust in riches cannot trust in God and cannot come into the kingdom of the soul:32. Yea, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a man with hoarded wealth to find the way of life.
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.
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.
The people ate, they drank,were filled with merriment and sang for joy,13. And did not know their doom until the ark was done and Noah entered in; but then the flood came on and swept them all away.14. So, also, in the days of Lot; the people ate and drank; they bought, they sold, they planted and they reaped, they went their ways in sin, and they cared not;15. But when the righteous Lot went from their city's gates the earth beneath the city shook, and brimstone fires fell from heaven;16. The gapping jaws of earth flew wide, and swallowed up their homes, their wealth, and they went down to rise no more.17. So shall it be when comes the son of man in power.18. I charge you men, as I will charge men then, Seek not to save your wealth, or you will lose your lives.
Two men will be in bed; one will be called, the other left; two women will be working side by side; one will be snatched away, the other left.21. And his disciples said, Explain to us this parable; or is it not a parable?22. And Jesus said, The wise will understand, for where the bread of heaven is, there you will find the pure in heart; and where the carcass lies will gather all the birds of prey.23. But lo, I say, before these days will come, the son of man will be betrayed by one of you into the hands of wicked men, and he will give his life for you and all the world.24. Yea, more; the Holy Breath will come in power and fill you with the wisdom of the just.25. And you will tell the wondrous story in Judea and in Samaria and in the farther lands of earth.26. And then to teach that men should pray and never faint, he told this parable:27. There was a judge who feared not God, nor yet regarded man.28. There was a widow who oft implored the judge to right her wrongs and to avenge her foes.29. At first the judge would hear her not, but after many days he said,30. I fear not God, and I regard not man, yet, lest this widow wear me out by pleading every day I will avenge her on her foes.31. When the disciples asked the meaning of this parable, the Lord replied, The wise can understand; the foolish have no need to know.32. And then to teach a lesson unto certain of his followers who trusted in themselves and thought that they were holier than other men, he told this parable:33. Two men went to the synagogue to pray; one was a Pharisee, the other was a publican.34. The Pharisee stood forth and prayed thus with himself, O God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, who are extortioners, unjust, adulterers;35. Not even like this publican.
All hail the dawn of peace on earth; good will to men!7. All hail triumphant king, who grapples with the tyrant Death, who conquers in the fight, and brings to light immortal life for men!8. All hail the broken cross, the mutilated spear!9. All hail the triumph of the soul!
The way into the highest courts of God is open for the sons of men!13. Rejoice, O men of earth, rejoice, and be exceeding glad!14. Bring forth the harp and touch its highest strings; bring forth the lute, and sound its sweetest notes!15. For men who were made low, are high exalted now, and they who walked in darkness and in the vale of death, are risen up and God and man are one for evermore,16. Allelujah!
Who can we trust among the sons of men?33. And Jesus called the ten apart and said to them, How hard for men to comprehend the nature of the kingdom of the soul!34. These two disciples do not seem to know that rulership in heaven is not akin to rulership on earth.35. In all the kingdoms of the world, the men of power, they who exalt themselves, show their authority, and rule with iron rule;36. But you must know that they who rule the sons of light are they who seek no earthly power, but give their lives in willing sacrifice for men.37. Whoever would be great must be the minister of all.
The highest seat in heaven is at the feet of him who is the lowest man of earth.38. I had a glory with our Father-God before the worlds were made, and still I come to serve the race of men; to be the minister of men; to give my life for men.39. And then the Christines journeyed on and came unto Jerusalem.
you knew what I required, that I expected every man to do his best.24. If you were timid and afraid to trust your judgment in the marts of trade, why did you not go forth and put my money out for gain, that I could have my own with interest?25. Then turning to the steward of his wealth the ruler said, Take you this pound and give it unto him who has by diligence earned nine.26. For lo, I say, that every one who uses what he has and gains, shall have abundantly; but he who hides away his talent in the earth shall forfeit what he has.
1. Next day, the Monday of the week, the master with the twelve, went to Jerusalem.2. And as they passed along the way they saw a fig tree full of leaves without a sign of fruit.3. And Jesus spoke unto the tree; he said, You useless cumberer of the ground; you fig tree fair to look upon, but a delusive thing.4. You take from the earth and air the food that fruitful trees should have.5. Go back to earth and be yourself the food for other trees to eat.6. When Jesus had thus spoken to the tree he went his way.7. And when he reached the temple, lo, the rooms were filled with petty merchants selling doves and animals, and other things, for sacrifice; the temple was a mart of trade.8. And Jesus was indignant at the sight, and said, You men of Israel, for shame!
Why did you drive the merchants from the temple yesterday?15. And Jesus answered them and said, If you will answer what I ask, then I will answer you; Was John, the harbinger, a man of God, or was he a seditious man?16. The scribes and Pharisees were loath to answer him; they reasoned thus among themselves:17. If we shall say, John was a prophet sent from God, then he will say,18. John testified for me, that I am son of God, why do you not believe his words?19. If we should say, John was a bold, seditious man, the people will be angered, for they think he was a prophet of the living God.20. And so they answered Jesus and they said, We do not know; we cannot tell.21. Then Jesus said, If you will tell me not, then I will tell you not who gave me power to drive the robbers from the house of God.22. And then he spoke a parable to them; he said, A man once made a feast inviting all the rich and honoured people of the land.23. But when they came, they found the door into the banquet hall was low, and they could enter not except they bowed their heads and fell down on their knees.24. These people would not bow their heads and fall down on their knees, and so they went away; they went not to the feast.25. And then the man sent forth his messengers to bid the common folks, and those of low estate, to come and feast with him.26. These people gladly came; they bowed their heads and fell down on their knees, and came into the banquet hall and it was full, and every one rejoiced.27. And then the master said, Behold, you priests and scribes, and Pharisees the Lord of heaven and earth has spread a sumptuous feast, and you were bidden first of all;28. But you have found the door into the banquet hall so low that you must bow your heads and fall down on your knees to enter in, and you have scorned the king who made the feast, refused to bow your heads and fall down on your knees, and you have gone your way;29. But now God calls again; the common folks and those of low estate have come in multitudes, have entered in unto the feast and all rejoice.30. I tell you, men, that publicans and courtesans go through the gates into the kingdom of the God of heaven, and you are left without.31. John came to you in righteousness; he brought the truth, but you believed him not.32. But publicans and courtesans believed, and were baptised and now have entered in unto the feast.33. I tell you now, as I have told you many times, The many have been called, but chosen are the few.
The grave is not the goal of men, no more than is the earth the goal of seeds.17. Life is the consequence of death.
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?
And then he cast his eyes to heaven and said,33. My Father-God, I would not ask to be relieved of all the burdens I must bear; I only ask for grace and strength to bear the burdens whatsoe'er they be,34. This is the hour for which I came to earth.
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.
its temples and its shrines are clothed in such magnificence!3. And Jesus said, The city is the glory of my people, Israel, but, lo, the time will come when every stone will be cast down, and it will be a hiss and byword for the nations of the earth.4. And the disciples asked, When will this desolation come?5. And Jesus said, This round of human life will not be full until the armies of the conqueror will thunder at her gates, and they will enter in, and blood will flow like water through the streets.6. And all the precious furnishings of temple, court and palaces will be destroyed, or carried off to deck the palaces and courts of kings.7. Behold, these days are not at hand.
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.
and in disgrace the virgins went their way.32. Again I say to you, and you shall say to them who follow you,33. Be ready every moment of the day and night, because when you expect him not, the Lord will come.34. Behold, when he will come with all his messengers of light, the Book of Life, and that of Records, shall be opened up--the books in which the thought and words and deeds are written down.35. And every one can read the records he has written for himself, and he will know his doom before the judge shall speak, and this will be the sifting time.36. According to their records men will find their own.37. The judge is Righteousness, the king of all the earth, and he will separate the multitudes as shepherds separate the sheep and goats.38. The sheep will find their places on the right, the goats upon the left, and every man will know his place.39. And then the judge will say, to those upon the right, You blessed of the Father-God, come unto your inheritance, which was prepared for you from times of old.40. You have been servants of the race; and I was hungry and you gave me bread; was thirsty and you gave me drink; was naked and you gave me clothes;41. Was sick, you ministered to me; and was in prison and you came to me with words of cheer; I was a stranger and in your homes I found a home.42. Then will the righteous say, When did we see you hungry, thirsty, sick, imprisoned or a stranger at our gates and ministered to you?43. And then the judge will say, You served the sons of men, and whatsoever you have done for these, that you have done for me.44. The judge will say to those upon the left, Depart from me; you have not served the sons of men.45. I was hungry and you gave me naught to eat; was thirsty and you gave me naught to drink; I was a stranger and you drove me from your door; I was imprisoned and was sick, you did not minister to me.46. Then these will say, When did we thus neglect to care for you?
Behold, for Satan cometh up to sift you as a pan of wheat, but I have prayed that in your faith you shall not fail; that after trial you may stand a tower of strength.14. And the disciples all exclaimed, There is no power on earth that can estrange, or cause us to deny our Lord.15. And Jesus said, Let not your hearts be sad; you all believe in God; believe in me.16. Behold, for there are many mansions in my Fatherland.
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.
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!
And then he raised his hands; the chains were broken and they fell to earth.23. And Malchus thought the Lord would flee to save his life, and with a club he fain would smite him in the face.24. But Peter had a sword, and rushing up he smote the man and wounded him.25. But Jesus said, Stay, Peter, stay; put up your sword; you are not called to fight with swords and clubs.
Last night I saw it all in vision far too vivid to be set aside as idle dream.46. I saw this man walk on the waters of the sea; I heard him speak and calm an angry storm; I saw him flying with the wings of light;47. I saw Jerusalem in blood; I saw the statues of the Cæsars fall; I saw a veil before the sun, and day was dark as night.48. The earth on which I stood was shaken like a reed before the wind.
1. Now, Judas who betrayed his Lord, was with the mob; but all the time he thought that Jesus would assert his power and demonstrate the strength of God that he possessed, and strike to earth the fiendish multitudes and free himself;2. But when he saw his master on the ground and bleeding from a score of wounds, he said,3. O God, what have I done?
A Roman soldier dipped a sponge in vinegar and myrrh, and placed it to his lips.7. Now, at the ninth hour of the day the earth began to quake, and in the darkness of that sunless day, a flood of golden light appeared above the cross;8. And from the light a voice was heard which said, Lo, it is done.9. And Jesus said, My Father-God, into thy hands I give my soul.10. A Roman soldier in compassion said, This agony is all too great; relief shall come.
And with a spear he pierced his heart and it was done; the son of man was dead.11. And then the earth was shocked again; the city of Jerusalem rocked to and fro; the hills were rent and tombs were opened up;12. And people thought they saw the dead arise and walk the streets.13. The temple quivered and the veil between the sanctuary and the Holy Place was rent in twain, and consternation reigned through all the place.14. The Roman guard who watched the body on the cross exclaimed, This surely was the son of God who died.15. And then the people hurried down from Calvary.
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.
They said, Behold an angel comes.33. And then they heard again, Adon Mashich Cumi.34. And then the white-robed form tramped on the Roman seal and then he tore it into shreds; he took the mighty stone in hand as though it were a pebble from the brook, and cast it to the side.35. And Jesus opened up his eyes and said, All hail the rising sun; the coming of the day of righteousness!36. And then he folded up his burial gown, his head bands and his coverings and laid them all aside.37. He rose, and for a moment stood beside the white-robed form.38. The weaker soldiers fell upon the ground, and hid their faces in their hands; the stronger stood and watched.39. They saw the body of the Nazarene transmute; they saw it change from mortal to immortal form, and then it disappeared.40. The soldiers heard a voice from somewhere; yea, from everywhere, it said,41. Peace, peace on earth; good will to men.42. They looked, the tomb was empty and the Lord had risen as he said.43. The soldiers hastened to Jerusalem, and to the priests, and said,44. Behold, the Nazarene has risen as he said; the tomb is empty and the body of the man is gone; we know not where it is.
What message from the royal council do you bring?26. And Jesus said, My brothers of the Silent Brotherhood, peace, peace on earth; goodwill to men!27. The problem of the ages has risen from the dead; has shown that human flesh can be transmuted into flesh divine.28. Before the eyes of men this flesh in which I come to you was changed with speed of light from human flesh.
In one short breath he told the story of his mission to the sons of men, and then he disappeared.32. The magi said, Some time ago we read this promise, now fulfilled, upon the dial plate of heaven.33. And then we saw this man who has just demonstrated unto us the power of man to rise from carnal flesh and blood to flesh of God, a babe in Bethlehem.34. and after many years he came and sat with us in these same groves;35. He told the story of his human life, of trials, sore temptations, buffetings and woes.36. He pressed along the thorny way of life he had risen and over thrown the strongest foes of God and man; and he is now the only master of the human race whose flesh has been transmuted into flesh divine.37. He is the God-man of to-day; but every one of earth overcome and be like him, a son of God.
was any one a witness of the theft?7. The Jews replied, We had a hundred soldiers at the place, and every one of them declares that his disciples stole the body from the tomb.8. The stranger asked, Will any one of all your hundred men stand forth and say, I saw the body stolen from the tomb?9. The Jews replied, We do not know; these men are men of truth; we cannot doubt their word.10. The stranger said, You priests and scribes and Pharisees hear me: I was a witness of the facts, was in the garden of Siloam, and stood among your hundred men.11. And this I know that not a man among your hundred men will say, I saw the body stolen from the tomb.12. And I will testify before the God of heaven and earth, The body was not stolen from the tomb; the man from Galilee is risen from the dead.13. And then the priests and scribes and Pharisees rushed up to seize the man and cast him out.14. But instantly the fisherman became a radiant form of light, and priests and scribes and Pharisees fell back in deadly fear; they saw the man from Galilee.15. And Jesus looked upon the frightened men and said, This is the body that you stoned beyond the city's gates and crucified on Calvary.16. Behold my hands, my feet, my side and see the wounds the soldiers made.17. If you believe that I am phantom made of air, come forth and handle me; ghosts do not carry flesh and bones.18. I came to earth to demonstrate the resurrection of the dead, the transmutation of the flesh of carnal man to flesh of man divine.19. Then Jesus raised his hands and said, Peace be to every one of you; goodwill to all mankind.
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.
When will of man and will of God are one, the resurrection is a fact.42. In this we have the chemistry of mortal life, the ministry of death, the mystery of deific life.43. My human life was wholly given to bring my will to tune with the deific will; when this was done my earth-tasks all were done.44. And you, my brother, know full well the foes I had to meet; you know about my victories in Gethsemane; my trials in the courts of men; my death upon the cross.45. You know that all my life was one great drama for the sons of men; a pattern for the sons of men.
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. Now, when the day of Pentecost had come Jerusalem was filled with pious Jews and proselytes from many lands.2. The Christines all were met and were in perfect harmony.3. And as they sat in silent prayer they heard a sound a-like the distant murmur of a coming storm.4. The sound grew louder still, until, like thunder peals, it filled the room where the apostles sat.5. A brilliant light appeared, and many thought, The building is afire.6. Twelve balls, that seemed like balls of fire, fell from heaven--a ball from every sign of all the circle of the heavens, and on the head of each apostle there appeared a flaming ball of fire.7. And every ball seven tongues of fire toward heaven, and each apostle spoke in seven dialects of earth.8. The ignorant rabble treated lightly what they heard and saw; they said, These men are drunk, and know not what they say.9. But men of learning were amazed; they said, Are not these men who speak all Jews?
how is it that they speak in all the languages of earth?10. And Peter said, You people of Jerusalem, and you live beyond the city's gates; Peace be to you, and all mankind.11. This is time that holy men of old desired to see, by faith they saw this hour, and now they stand with us in ecstasy.12. The prophet Joel in olden times told of the things you see and hear.
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.

The Atlanteans spoke of food as a conversation between the body and the Earth, a dialogue of energy rather than consumption.
The Atlanteans knew that Earth was one expression of a vast interconnected network of realms and beings.
In Atlantis, the primary energy source was a subtle, resonant force known as Vril or Protecta, derived from natural crystalline formations and the Earth's inherent lattice.
And this was a transmitter of the intergalactic forces that poured into your Earth’s atmosphere — solar, lunar, and stellar energies poured into Atlantis — and which generated a superpower beyond description, an electromagnetic force for all of the systems of energy that sustained the lives that you lived as Atlanteans.
The first was the natural Earth lattice, a web of energy lines formed through the interaction of magnetic fields, subterranean crystalline formations and the planet’s rotational forces.
This map was compiled about 75,000 years ago, and it no doubt fairly represents the land surface of the earth from that period onwards till the final submergence of Poseidonis in 9564 b.c., though during that period minor changes must have taken place.
The first map represents the land surface of the earth as it existed about a million years ago, when the Atlantean Race was at its height, and before the first great submergence took place about 800,000 years ago.

You said there were bright lights in the sky and the Earth shook.
But after the first time when the Earth shook and there were lights in the sky, the wise man thought the sun was rising where it should set and setting where it should rise.
The Earth shook some more and the sun once more began rising where it should and setting where it should, even today.
B: When the Earth changed its path.
He says that sometimes stars have clouds on them like the Earth has clouds, and the old ones said that is what caused it to lightning and storm.
The sun would form clouds on it which would cause Mother Earth to form clouds in sympathy and it would storm.
He says that the Earth Mother really moves around the sun.
But they said when you go far enough away from the Earth, it appears to be round.
And this was where the Earth was formed, in the dark inbetween out of dark materials, metal and dirt and such as this.
And they made the Earth because they said, "We have to have a place to go to play our game." So they made the Earth to go with the sun.
Or if they want to drop out for two or three rounds, that is all right, too." So each round in the game is when you are alive here on Earth.
We talk about how the animals helped to decide how the Earth should be made.
