Sons of Men

"'You know that all my life was one great drama for the sons of men; a pattern for the sons of men.

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.

They rested not until they reached the temple of Sakara in the valley of the Nile.30. For many years Matheno was a master in this temple of the Brotherhood, and when he told about the life of John and of his mission to the sons of men, the hierophant with joy received the harbinger and he was called the Brother Nazarite.31. For eighteen years John lived and wrought within these temple gates; and here he conquered self, became a master mind and learned the duties of the harbinger.

It seems to me that truth was never shut; that it was always opened up, for truth is one and it is everywhere.10. And if we open up the windows of our minds the truth will enter in and make herself at home; for truth can find her way through any crevice, any window, any open door.11. The rabbi said, What hand is strong enough to open up the windows and the doors of mind so truth can enter in?12. And Jesus said, It seems to me that love, the golden cord that binds the Ten Commands in one, is strong enough to open any human door so that the truth can enter in and cause the heart to understand.13. Now, in the evening Jesus and his mother sat alone, and Jesus said,14. The rabbi seems to think that God is partial in his treatment of the sons of men; that Jews are favoured and are blest above all other men.15. I do not see how God can have his favourites and be just.16. Are not Samaritans and Greeks and Romans just as much the children of the Holy One as are the Jews?17. I think the Jews have built a wall about themselves, and they see nothing on the other side of it.18. They do not know that flowers are blooming over there; that sowing times and reaping times belong to anybody but the Jews.19. It surely would be well if we could break down these barriers down so that the Jews might see that God has other children that are just as greatly blest.20. I want to go from Jewry land and meet my kin in other countries of my Fatherland.

1. A royal prince of India, Ravanna of Orissa in the south, was at the Jewish feast.2. Ravanna was a man of wealth; and he was just, and with a band of Brahmic priests sought wisdom in the West.3. When Jesus stood among the Jewish priests and read and spoke, Ravanna heard and was amazed.4. And when he asked who Jesus was, from whence he came and what he was, chief Hillel said,5. We call this child the Day Star from on high, for he has come to bring to men a light, the light of life; to lighten up the way of men and to redeem his people, Israel.6. And Hillel told Ravanna all about the child; about the prophecies concerning him; about the wonders of the night when he was born; about the visit of the magian priests;7. About the way in which he was protected from the wrath of evil men; about his flight to Egypt-land, and how he then was serving with his father as a carpenter in Nazareth.8. Ravanna was entranced, and asked to know the way to Nazareth, that he might go and honour such a one as son of God.9. And with his gorgeous train he journeyed on the way and came to Nazareth of Galilee.10. He found the object of his search engaged in building dwellings for the sons of men.11. And when he first saw Jesus he was climbing up a twelve step ladder, and he carried in his hands a compass, square and axe.12. Ravanna said, All hail, most favoured son of heaven!13. And at the inn Ravanna made a feast for all the people of the town; and Jesus and his parents were honoured guests.14. For certain days Ravanna was a guest in Joseph's home on Marmion Way; he sought to learn the secret of the wisdom of the son; but it was all to great for him.15. And then he asked that he might be the patron of the child; might take him to the East where he could learn the wisdom of the Brahms.16. And Jesus longed to go that he might learn; and after many days his parents gave consent.17. Then, with proud heart, Ravanna with his train, began the journey towards the rising sun; and after many days they crossed the Sind, and reached the province of Orissa, and the palace of the prince.18. The Brahmic priests were glad to welcome home the prince; with favour they received the Jewish boy.19. And Jesus was accepted as a pupil in the temple Jagannath; and here learned the Vedas and the Manic laws.20. The Brahmic masters wondered at the clear conceptions of the child, and often were amazed when he explained to them the meaning of the laws.

I pray that you will come and dine with us this day.11. And Jesus said, The Holy One regards all men alike; the dwelling of my host is good enough for any council of the sons of men.12. If pride of cast keeps you away, you are not worthy of the light.

It is not wide, and none can carry carnal bundles through.22. The lower self must be transmuted into spirit-self; the body must be washed in living streams of purity.23. Ajainin asked, Can I become a subject of this king?24. And Jesus said, You are yourself a king, and you may enter through the gate and be a subject of the King of kings.25. But you must lay aside your priestly robes; must cease to serve the Holy One for gold; must give your life, and all you have, in willing service to the sons of men.26. And Jesus said no more; Ajainin went his way; and while he could not comprehend the truth that Jesus spoke, he saw what he had never seen before.27. The realm of faith he never had explored; but in his heart the seeds of faith and universal brotherhood had found good soil.28. And as he journeyed to his home he seemed to sleep, to pass through darkest night, and when he woke the Sun of Righteousness had arisen; he had found the king.29. Now, in Benares Jesus tarried many days and taught.

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.

The coming age is not the perfect age, and men will call for object lessons and symbolic rites.7. And in the great religion you shall introduce to men, some simple rites of washings and remembrances will be required; but cruel sacrifice of animals, and birds the gods require not.8. And Jesus said, Our God must loathe the tinselled show of priests and priestly things.9. When men array themselves in showy garbs to indicate that they are servants of the gods, and strut about like gaudy birds to be admired by men, because of piety or any other thing, the Holy One must surely turn away in sheer disgust.10. All people are alike the servants of our Father-God, are kings and priests.11. Will not the coming age demand complete destruction of the priestly caste, as well as every other caste, and inequality among the sons of men?12. And Vidyapati said, The coming age is not the age of spirit life and men will pride themselves in wearing priestly robes, and chanting pious chants to advertise themselves as saints.13. The simple rites that you will introduce will be extolled by those who follow you, until the sacred service of the age will far outshine in gorgeousness the priestly service of the Brahmic age.14. This is a problem men must solve.15. The perfect age will come when every man will be a priest and men will not array themselves in special garb to advertise their piety.

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.

And Jesus did accompany him.4. The masters went in haste; and when they came to Delphi, great excitement reigned.5. And when Apollo stood before the Oracle it spoke and said:6. Apollo, sage of Greece, the bell strikes twelve; the midnight of the ages now has come.7. Within the womb of nature ages are conceived; they gestate and are born in glory with the rising sun, and when the agic sun goes down the age disintegrates and dies.8. The Delphic age has been an age of glory and renown; the gods have spoken to the sons of men through oracles of wood, and gold, and precious stone.9. The Delphic sun has set; the Oracle will go into decline; the time is near when men will hear its voice no more.10. The gods will speak to man by man.

I did not know that such entrancing beauty and such queen-like loveliness were ever found among the sons of men.11. I did not know that voice of angel ever graced a human form, or that seraphic music ever came from human lips.12. For days he sat entranced; the current of his thoughts was changed; he thought of nothing but the singer and her songs.13. He longed to see her once again; and after certain days she came; she spoke and laid her hand upon his head.14. Her touch thrilled all his soul, and for the time, forgotten was the work that he was sent to do.15. Few were the words the maiden said; she went her way; but then the heart of Jesus had been touched.16. A love-flame had been kindled in his soul, and he was brought to face the sorest trial of his life.17. He could not sleep nor eat.

1. In every age since time began have seven sages lived.2. At first of every age these sages meet to note the course of nations, peoples, tribes and tongues;3. To note how far toward justice, love and righteousness the race has gone;4. To formulate the code of laws, religious postulates and plans of rule best suited to the coming age.5. An age had passed, and lo, another age had come; the sages must convene.6. Now, Alexandria was the centre of the world's best thought, and here in Philo's home the sages met.7. From China came Meng-ste; from India Viyapati came; from Persia Kaspar came; and from Assyria Ashbina came; from Greece Apollo; Matheno was the Egyptian sage, and Philo was the chief of Hebrew thought.8. The time was due; the council met and sat in silence seven days.9. And then Meng-ste arose and said, The wheel of time has turned once more; the race is on a higher plane of thought.10. The garments that or fathers wove have given out; the cherubim have woven a celestial cloth; have placed it in our hands and we must make for men new garbs.11. The sons of men are looking up for greater light.

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

Will you not condescend to tell me who you are?22. And Jesus said, I need not tell you who I am for you have read the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms that tell of me.23. I am one come to break away the wall that separates the sons of men.

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

the men ordained to lead the people in the way of right.20. And I am come to help, and not to hinder in their work.21. There are two classes of the sons of men; they who would build the human race upon the sure foundation stones of justice, truth, equality and right,22. And they who would destroy the holy temple where the Spirit dwells and bring their fellows down to beggary and crime.23. The holy brotherhood of right must stand united in the stirring conflicts of the hour.24. No matter whether they be Jews, Samaritans, Assyrians, or Greeks, they must tramp down beneath their feet all strife, all discord, jealousy and hate, and demonstrate the brotherhood of man.25. Then to the ruler of the synagogue he spoke: he said, United in the cause of right we stand; divided we will fall.26. And then he took the ruler by the hand; a love light filled their souls; and all the people were amazed.

Pray tell who were the sons of God we read about in Genesis, who took to wife the daughters of the sons of men?31. Our father Adam; who was he?

you heap great burdens on the sons of men, yea, loads by far too great for them to bear, and you will never help to bear a feather's weight yourselves.25. Woe unto you!

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.

We are the temple of the Holy Breath.9. We need no more a tent within the wilderness; no more a temple built with hands.10. We do not seek the Holy Land, nor yet Jerusalem.11. We are the tent of God; we are his temple built without the sound of edged tools.12. We are the Holy Land; we are the New Jerusalem; Allelujah, praise the Lord!13. And when the song was done the multitudes exclaimed, Praise God.14. And Jesus said, Behold the way!15. The sons of men have groped for ages in the darkness of Egyptian night.16. The Pharaohs of sense have bound them with their chains.17. But God has whispered through the mists of time and told them of a land of liberty and love.18. And he has sent his Logos forth to light the way.19. The Red Sea rolls between the promised land and Egypt's sands.20. The Red Sea is the carnal mind.21. Behold, the Logos reaches out his hand; the sea divides; the carnal mind is reft in twain; the sons of men walk through dry shod.22. The Pharaohs of sense would stay them in their flight; the waters of the sea return; the Pharaohs of sense are lost and men are free.23. For just a little while men tread the wilderness of Sin; the Logos leads the way;24. And when at last men stand upon the Jordan's brink, these waters stay, and men step forth into their own.

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. Now, Jesus took the twelve and with them crossed the sea at night and came unto the borders of Decapolis,2. That he might find a secret place where, all alone, he could reveal to them the things to come.3. They went into a mountain pass and spent three days in prayer.4. Then Jesus said, Behold, the time is near when I will walk with you in flesh no more.5. Lo, I have taught that he who counts his life of so much worth that he would give it not in willing sacrifice to save his brother man, is worthy not to enter into life.6. Lo, I am come as pattern for the sons of men, and I have not refrained from helpfulness.7. When I had passed the seven tests in Heliopolis, I consecrated life and all I had, to save the world.8. In the Judean wilderness I fought the strongest foes of men, and there I reaffirmed my consecration to the service of my fellow man.9. In troubles and in trials I have wavered not; when false accusers came, I answered not.10. God gave the saving Word to me, and I have often spoken it and healed the sick, drove unclean spirits out, and raised the dead.11. And I have shown you how to speak the Word; and I have given you the Word;12. In just a little while we turn our faces toward Jerusalem, and one of you who hear me now will then betray me into wicked hands.13. The scribes and Pharisees will bring false charges up and hale me into court, and, by consent of Rome, I will be crucified.14. Then Peter said, My Lord, it shall not be.

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.

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

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

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

Long years ago he sent his servants forth unto the favoured sons of men.

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.

You are but man and still you say that you are God.19. And Jesus said, A prophet of your own said to the sons of men, Lo, you are gods!20. Now, hark, you men, if he could say that to the men who simply heard the word of God, why should you think that I blaspheme the name of God because I say, I am a son of God?21. If you believe not what I say you must have faith in what I do, and you should see the Father in these works, and know that I dwell in the Father-God, and that the Father dwells in me.22. and then again the Jews took stones and would have stoned him in the temple court; but he withdrew himself from sight and left the porch and court and went his way:23. And with the twelve he went to Jericho, and after certain days they crossed the Jordan and in Bethabara abode for many days.

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.

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?

And Judas went his way.36. And when the pasch was done the Lord with the eleven sat a while in silent thought.37. Then Jesus took a loaf of bread that had been broken not and said, This loaf is symbol of my body, and the bread is symbol of the bread of life;38. And as I break this loaf, so shall my flesh be broken as a pattern for the sons of men; for men must freely give their bodies up in willing sacrifice for other men.39. And as you eat this bread, so shall you eat the bread of life, and never die.

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.

Whoever wields the sword shall perish by the sword.26. I do not need protection by the sons of men, for I could call this moment and a legion, yea, twelve legions of the messengers of God, would come and stand in my defence; but then it is not well.27. And then he said to Malchus, Man, I would not have you harmed.

The charges have been verified by perjured men; what need I say?17. Yes, I am king; but carnal men cannot behold the king, nor see the kingdom of the God; it is within.18. If I had been king as carnal man is king, my servants would have stood in my defence, and I would not have willingly surrendered to the minions of the Jewish law.19. I have no testimony from the sons of men.

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

I conquered death, I stamped upon him and arose;14. Brought immortality to light and painted on the walls of time a rainbow for the sons of men; and what I did all men shall do.15. This gospel of the resurrection of the dead is not confined to Jew and Greek; it is the heritage of every man of every time and clime; and I am here a demonstration of the power of man.16. Then he arose and pressed the hand of every man and of the royal host, and said,17. Behold, I am not myth made of the fleeting winds, for I am flesh and bone and brawn; but I can cross the borderland at will.18. And then they talked together there a long, long time.

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.

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.

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

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

For example, in the book of Genesis, there is a mention of the "sons of God" who intermingle with the daughters of men, and some interpretations identify these "sons of God" with the Ishim.
