Prayer – Channel:
Father-Mother God, Creative Force, once again we come before Thee seeking Thy love, Thy mercy, Thy guidance, the Light that we may find the path, follow the path, and be as help to those who would seek to see and know Thy face.

What is love? What is peace? What is the path? Where is the light? Who has found the way? How have you lived? Know you God? Or art thou lost? Behold the Light! Behold the Way! Oh, lift up thy heads that you may see, know and feel. This day have you lived in the presence? Have you lived in the Light? Have you followed the Way? Do you know God? He who falls short may yet find the Path. Have you seen your God? If you have not, He will lift you. Know this: life is as a trial of fire, of faith, of error, of hope, of sin and glory. If you have sinned this day, know that the glory is to come, else how could the Way be given? Ye must know that which is the dark to find the Light. Each and every one must find the Path, the Passage, the Gate, the Door. Cast aside that which is the foolishness, the selfishness. Cast aside desire – but not the urge. Destroy that which you would have as the self-image and let the truth of self become known. For not one this day has lived in the image of his Maker. For he and she have walked within self; selves, rather than in the Oneness. For when you sin, when you miss the mark, it is not self that is injured, but others. It is your God that you must atone or become at-one-ment with, you see. Then wash yourselves clean. For that which was given for thee is as that which cleanses. For the Blood of the Lamb is ever the Passover for each and every individual that would receive the Way, the Light, the Love. The Light is present. The Love surrounds you. He has forgiven thee, if ye would but know it within yourselves. Mercy, love, blessings.
Mark 7:1-5
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, “Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?”
S And even that which has been given is built upon. For that which is the law is the law to be overcome, else how could that which is the wheel of karma be broken? Here you have that which is building upon some spiritual understandings – a law made by man for man. And He that was the Light is the Light, the Way, the Truth – came not to break the law, but to build upon the law, to adjust, to reform, to refine, to save. There is the distinction between that which are the sins of man, and the sins of man against man, and the sins of man against the spiritual. The missing of the mark is not in man’s laws, but when you do not understand or try in that which is the area of the spiritual (for the physical-mental, the mental-physical is that for this plane) when you should be guided. Find the balance, the way through the spiritual rather than the others. For even as that which is prepared by man and washed by man is nothing but dust in the eyes of God. For even [as] has been given before, “from dust to dust, ashes to ashes.” This is the physical. So man at that time (even as now, in the main) was governed by the physical-mental properties of that existence, rather than the spiritual.
Mark 7:6-8
He answered and said unto them, “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. “
S Isaiah, or here that which is as the spiritual awakening, the spiritual search, or the beginning of same, is that which governs man in his understanding of finding the Path and the Way, even as the Master of Life gives here: that to be about God’s business is not necessarily in that which would be [in] conjunction with organized or understood ideas or commands of religious bodies, as you would find it in those days or in these days. Therefore, look to that which is the Christ within yourself; look to the pattern of Jesus and find that which is the Law, rather than that which is dictated through another body, or bodies, of peoples ever even so good, or seemingly good. For it is the individual and the individual search that is the essence of knocking upon the door, of seeking, of asking, of searching.
Mark 7:9-13
And he said unto them, “Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, ‘Honor thy father and thy mother’; and, ‘Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death’: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”
S For Corban here, as you see it, is even that which is left over from the sacrifice, that which is given ever as tithing, or at that time the meat, the animal – saying that which is left over is for God. For who is thy mother and thy father but the Creative Force. Here is the reprimand to you in the present, to those of the past, and a warning to those of the future: your dedication lies not with the dictates of this plane but to the God Force, the God Power that is the Force of Life. Even as it was forbidden, you see, to partake of that which are the sacrifices of the altar – sin mortal at that time – for this was pagan, you see, to take of that which were the sacrifices. So He, the Master of Life, the Great Teacher, was saying: you cannot give to God with the sacrifices of the altar but must worship and sacrifice from within outward, rather than the outward gestures which are so easily done, so often done, and rationalized as following the pattern set by man rather than obeying that which is the word of God, even as outlined by the prophets, by Moses the lawgiver, by Jesus the Savior.
Mark 7:14-17
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, “Harken unto me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
S You have here the twofold (or that, yes, there is nothing that you cannot take within yourself that can harm you mentally, physically or spiritually) the twofold meaning coming out of self, not only the actions, as it is normally understood by man (the actions towards others in the physical or the verbiage that comes forth that cannot be recalled), but the thoughts. For thoughts pour forth from each and every individual adding to that which is the gloom, the pall that hangs over this earth. Therefore, turn thy thoughts to the Light, that instead of sending forth that which is the dark, send forth the light that love may bathe the earth. For it is that which comes forth from men, from women, that guide the path of destiny as chosen by mankind. Ye may be as a salvation or ye may be as that which is as a Satan. You have your pick. Choose wisely.
Q Please comment on dietary considerations in relation to the statement, “There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him.”
S If ye are totally in that which is in harmony, in peace, ye need not eat nor drink. And yet, only one has assumed this mantle. There are those who have crossed in, not through, the path of the Christ, that because of their coming in need not do these things, but rather live in the manner of the angelic host. But for those who would assume the way through the material (as each and every individual at this time in this group), ye must be regulated by the bodily needs, since you have not overcome that which is the body and subjugated it to that which is the spiritual, bringing the mental into balance at the same time. Therefore, there are things that, because of the balance, or disbalance, disharmony within selves, become as poisons you must watch out for and be careful of. Even as those who would be christed or are partially christed could take in that which are the poisons, even that which are considered the deadly poisons – the hemlock, the arsenics, and so forth – and no mishappenings would occur. There are those in the majority that would depart this life, as ye would know it, when partaking of those delicacies as given.
Mark 7:18-23
And he saith unto them, “Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?” And he said, “That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
S Know you this: each thought is as that which is placed upon a platter and lifted up before the throne of God. Therefore, if you can visualize same, for it is true, what have you offered up to your God this day?
Mark 7:24-26
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
S Even as Jesus the Christ could not hide Himself, or leave behind that which He was and is, neither can that which lights yourselves, namely faith, be hidden from that which is the Truth, the world itself, from those that know you and those who do not know you. For each and every individual that lives with the Light, in the Light, through faith, becomes as a beacon in the night, that those lost souls may find the path, may home in upon that which is a way, a help. For each and every individual that becomes a light slashes aside that which is the curtain of darkness (caused by man’s actions – mental, physical) to that which is the spiritual nature of this world and the paths leading away from this world.
Mark 7:27-30:
But Jesus said unto her,” Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.” And she answered and said unto him, “Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.” And he said unto her, “For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
S Through faith, all is. For even though you live in the animalistic (even as that which is symbolized here as the dog) faith will make you whole. For here is that which is sick unto death within yourself. And yet, what is the symbol ever of faith? The mother figure, you see, the female aspect of each and every individual soul force, crying out a hungering for that which is the salvation, that which is the Word, and ever is the Word, the Christ Force, God in action.
Q What does demon actually refer to here? What was. . .
S That which is as the creation of the individual, even as selves have created that which is the karmic destiny or that which are the negative influences within self. For the breaking of karma is through that which is as grace through faith, you see. For grace is that which He, the Master of Blood, He the Lamb, has bestowed upon you and yours through His sacrifice, His at-one-ment with God.
Q This child had a physical illness?
S This child had a physical illness; though the physical illness was there so that you might learn. The physical illness in this case, for this entity, was that which you would call leukemia now, see?
Mark 7:31-37:
And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, “Ephphatha”, that is, “Be opened.” And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; And were beyond measure astonished, saying, “He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.”
S Are you all not deaf? Are you all not mute? Can ye not know within your hearts that all would be set aright if you would but accept that which is the Christ? And yet in each and every individual we see that which is as the force called human that retains the entities in that which is the humanistic fold, that which is the earth plane. Even as ye must overcome through faith, He is every ready to open the ears, open the eyes. Has that been given to you? Yes. As you knock, it is there. As you seek, you will find. For the door is ready to be opened. Some have their feet in the door, some do not. For each and every individual must take that stride, that step, to meet Him that is the Master of their destiny. Take it now, though you falter, though the feet may fail, though that which belongs to you may seem more of this plane than the spiritual. Know that in love you may overcome. The body that you possess at this time is naught; the mind that you possess at this time is naught; for the true body and the true mind is beyond the understanding, the comprehension of any individual within this earth plane. There are those who have an inkling, and it lies within your souls. And yet it is unknown to that which is mankind.
Q Why did Jesus so frequently give instructions that the people shouldn’t tell they had been helped?
S For there was often that which you have seen develop about Him and others who worked with the spiritual; that the body and that which is the countenance, the name, the individuality, is worshiped, rather than God or the action of God. He that was Jesus knew the failings of man who cannot understand the spiritual, that grasp at that which would bring God to human level, rather than human to God level.
Q What is the significance of the method of healing used by Jesus here?
S That which is applying, even as He sighed and looked heavenward, knowing that He could not show the spiritual did that which was the ritualistic as understood by mankind, even as ritual is used within most religions, more or less, to establish a format for worship or following. For the truth of real religion is to know that God is about you all the time regardless of what others do, say, feel, or the actions of the world in general. It is understanding that God is within the cells, the flow of the blood, the atoms, the molecules that are around you, the air you breathe, the dust you see – all things.
Q Now this the same thing as the laying on of hands? It’s part of man’s conscious understanding to enable him to try and grasp the spiritual?
S This is correct. And it is also that which is an urging from within to be that which are the hands of God within this earth plane that will do the work.
