Prayer – Channel: 

Oh merciful Father, into Thy Presence we come, trusting in that which is the Way, the Truth and the Light, following the Blueprint of our Brother, our Master, Jesus who became the Christ, Enlighten us, feed us, oh Father. For we have faith in thee. 

Source: 

Behold the Light. Behold the Door. Enter into that which is the temple of the living God. Walk the path, know the way, have trust. For, at this time, you approach that which is the inner temptation to use that which is the power, the knowledge, the fruits, for other than that which it is intended to be. Its use is for that of the glory of the Lord, not for the subtle padding of the ego. For all must know, to be in the way of the Lord is to live in, and by, the knowledge, through the use of wisdom, and to succumb not to that which is the temptation of the mind, the body, or the ego. For, however subtle that may come upon you, know it for what it is. If it is less than the way of Him, the Christ, then use it not. For the temptation is upon you, even as others would call to you to use it. Be aware, it must be used, not for self, but for the glorification of God. Behold the Lamb of God, He that taketh away the sins of this world. Behold the Light. Behold the Way. 

Mark 11:1-2 

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, And saith unto them, “Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.” 

S To reach that which is the inner self, that place of meditation, you must go to those other places first, that of the mind, that opening or awareness that leads to the spiritual awareness and that which is the cleansing of self. Here is the cry within self to send those lower elements in command of self to seek out that which is the urge, or the animalistic, or that which is the lowest of urges as seen here in that which is the colt, or the horse which is untamed, unridden, to be taken to the Master. This is the command to overcome, to bridle, to train temptation, or the urges of the body. 

Q Does the colt symbolize the urgings of the body and was it red? 

S This is correct. This is that which is the lower urging, that which is the sexual domination, in command of (what) the mind and the will, as represented then as the lower elements of understanding. 

Q What is the significance between the colt in Mark and the colt and the ass in Matthew? 

S Colt, you see, is better. For it is that which are as the urges. For they appear always within self and through that which is the scripture as the horse. This is the first; whereas ass as used, you see, symbolizes that which is as the donkey or the work, or the worker, more than that which is unbridled. Colt is much more apropos. 

Q Is there any significance in the two disciples being sent forth? 

S This is the significance of the mind and the will being used to overcome the lowest of elements. For the mind and the will, you see, or even the intellect and the will, you see, are, in themselves, lower elements, cast aside at the time that an entity becomes truly spiritual, where they are but shadows to that which are the spiritual forces within the body. 

Mark 11:3 

“And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.”

S This is to put into its place, once you overcome the urgings of the body for the use of the Lord. For remember, it is given, “to love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, with all thy body, with all thy soul, with all thy might.” This in itself is the same, you see. 

Mark 11:4-6 

And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, “What do ye, loosing the colt?” And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 

S This is the reasoning. This is that which rationalizes within yourself. For the loosening here is really that which is the bridling. For the loosing, you see, is the act that tears it from the reins of selfishness and puts it in the bridle of the soul. Therefore the powers that are essential within self – creation, reproduction, creativity itself – are then in the hands of the Path of Righteousness. 

Q Are the two ways the material and the spiritual? 

S This is correct. 

Q And where was the place they met? 

S This is within the mind of an individual, the seeking mind – not in any other case of the mind but in the seeking mind – that it may draw together and tie together and bind together that which is in itself diversified, divided from that which is the spiritual inclination.

Mark 11:7 

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 

S Covering that which is the life force with the power of God raised in self, is then when you, too, approach the seat of justice, the seat of mercy, the meeting with that which is the God, the Father, the Creative Force Itself, through that which is the act of overcoming yourself and meeting in meditation in that place where the throne is not empty. 

Mark 11:8 

And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 

S For the mind and the body and the soul will honor that which is done within yourself, and in so doing, honoring, then, the Father. 

Mark 11:9-10 

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, “Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.”

S This is that which is given: the feast of the tabernacle, the cry, the prayer. For within you will then be that which is the feast, that which is the entering of the tabernacle, that which is the sanctification of the mind, the body and the soul. 

Mark 11:11 

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 

S Then the Christ Force will awaken within yourself even that which is the system of the nerves, that it may command the entire body, healing, directing, that it may be as a useful tool each day, in each way, in honoring that which is the living God. 

Mark 11:12-13 

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 

S Coming from that place, which is the awakening then, and moving towards that which is the destiny of self, you, too, will come upon that which offers the greatest fruit and yet has not had time to produce. This is the time of temptation and that which is not ready to be used should be cast aside, yea, even cursed. For this has been given to you: resist temptation to use the power that you have acquired, in the knowledge, in the search for the one true and living God, never to be used, you see, for self in the egocentric, ego-building, self-possessing way. For this is temptation in its greatest – to use for self, for self’s reasons, that which is the power that awakens within an individual at this time. 

Mark 11:14

And Jesus answered and said unto it, “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.” And his disciples heard it. 

S This is the warning that ye cannot give in selfishness but must give in that which is of the Lord. Therefore, weigh and measure that which you do. And if it be spontaneous, if it be that which flows from God, then let it be so. But never on your own merits give out the blessing, give out the healing, give out the word – only that which is sanctified, when you are told. 

Q Was the fig tree diseased? 

S It is that which symbolizes within yourself the dis-ease in using that which is the word of God. It is that which you trace as dis-ease within yourself for this aeon of time that ye have been around. 

Mark 11:15-16 

And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 

S How glorious, how wonderful, how awe inspiring is that which is righteous anger, which cleansed the temple at that time, which cleanses the temples of your body that the desires, the will, the wants of mankind may be purged; that your body may be free from that which is unclean; that you may bring forth the soul force to meet that which is as the Holy Spirit. Even as He threw down that which are the moneychangers (not only the money but the moneychangers), [He] cast aside that which befouled the temple. All must do in like, within themselves. How glorious, how awe inspiring was that day! 

Q When Jesus was in the temple, cleansing same, when He turned over the tables and so forth, was this symbolic of the body? 

S This is symbolic of the mind throwing out that which is the spoiling the temple that is the body. And if you meant body in that sense it is correct. [10-45] 

Q Were the money changers in the outer area of a three divided setup? 

S This is correct. 

Q Does the outer refer to the physical? And does the inner refer to the subconscious and the Holy of Holies to God within? 

S The outer reflects that which is the physical-mental, the inner the mental-spiritual, and that which is as the third, the spiritual in itself alone (the soul force) the place where God meets you. 

Mark 11:17-18 

And he taught, saying unto them, “Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.” And the scribes and chief priests heard of it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. 

S Even as that which are the mental conditions of selves, even as that which are the priests of yourselves – your mind, your ego – seek in subtle ways, so often, and in others so forceful and direct, to cancel, circumvent that which is the spiritual arrival, the spiritual awakening. And yet, it will happen within yourselves, and ye think you are on the way, the path, for, oh, so long. Then come the temptations to go this way or that. For to revert is worse than never having the opportunity or never deciding upon the path. For he who reverts is truly lost. Though they repent, all must be done again. Therefore, turn not aside once you have found the path, selected the way. Turn not aside. For it is given, and in truth, the path is narrow. 

Q Is this the occasion, referred to in another Gospel, on which He told the people, “Ye are gods”? 

S This is correct. 

Q For clarification, can this “gods” be a possessive noun, indicating that we belong to God? 

S Incorrect. You do belong to God, for all is of God. For there is naught else. Yet, you have been destined to become as gods, that ye, too, may be creative. 

Q Why didn’t Peter, dictating to Mark, bring this out? 

S For even as he was directed, even as these readings are directed, even as each and every gospel is different in its make-up, its meaning, esoterically, metaphysically, and totally, Peter was given a task and obeyed. So in Mark you find that which is as a new direction, even as you will find in Matthew, even as you will find in John. All have their significance and their different purposes, you see. 

Q A temple is a sacred place. Why were money changers allowed to be around the temple? 

S You are sacred, too. Yet, in you, you have allowed those things that are of this world to penetrate. The needs, the values of the material world are established in each and every individual present at this time, see? 

Mark 11:19-22 

And when even was come, he went out of the city. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, “Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.” And Jesus answering saith unto them, “Have faith in God.”

S You have here the coming forth from the darkness into the light, or the awakening – that which is the symbol of the spiritual understanding within an individual, within the masses, coming to that which was given before, that which is the misuse cast aside, destroyed. For those who have faith will be guided. Those who have faith will be sustained. Those who have faith will meet the Father. This is the law. This is the truth. 

Mark 11:23-24 

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore, I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” 

S This is the mountain that rises within each and every individual, that blocks the path, that impedes the entity. You have two ways of overcoming that which stops you – climb over it, or cast it aside. If you will follow that which is the highest teaching, that which is the truth, faith shall cast it aside. For even as it is given, faith will move mountains – cast it into the sea of life, away from self, that the path may be opened. Yet, you may climb over it – the long, hard, tortuous way – and you may achieve to a degree, but not through that which is faith. And you cannot find the total way, you cannot find the Christ without faith. 

Mark 11:25-26 

“And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

S Whatever you ask, you shall receive. And those who ask for mercy must give mercy to receive, it is true. For if you ask mercy and give not mercy, therefore you sin and are cast aside. For you are breaking the law, not in asking but by not giving. For it is in the giving that you will find the way. It is the giving that makes you a tool of the Father. For it is how you live each day that matters – not your position, not your wealth, not the acknowledgment of others. For how often are they led astray that have the power, that have the knowledge, and yet look to and for acknowledgment of their individuality, their personality. Therefore, they are lost and cast aside in that time of judgment. 

Q I can see where the law of retribution applies here – as you forgive you are forgiven. But when somebody injures you and you honestly, sincerely, forgive them, does this wipe out the karmic debt as far as they are concerned? 

S To a degree. However, it is for each and every individual to attest and to attack their own karmic principles. He, that became christed, took upon Himself all the sins of this world, yet there are sins present. There are those who meet their karma for the very fact they have not done their share. For each and every case is of itself distinct and a oneness. Therefore, one direct answer cannot serve the purpose that the entity has asked it to. 

Q Would you elaborate on this “sins of the world”? 

S Roughly, or very broadly, first the sins of the mind, the sins of the body, the sins of the physical-mental being, the sins of the mental-spiritual being – these are the sins of the world. And yet, more complex – too complex to explain at this time. 

Mark 11:27-29 

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, And say unto him, “By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?” And Jesus answered and said unto them, “I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.” 

S Here is the doubting. Here is the rationalizing. Here is that which, once again, would fight the raising within self, or the following of the path, or the inquiry into that which is the spiritual in nature, always that which is casting (if it can) that which would derail or lead away to pleasures, the subtle pleasures, the forces of the mind, the physical, the mental, rather than the spiritual. Then comes that which is the challenge from the spiritual, invoked by that which is the call from within self for that which is the necessary help. For no man can do it by himself or reach to that which is the goal by himself. 

Mark 11:30-31 

“The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.” And they reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? “

S Here is the call sending forth clearly: awaken within yourself. For if the messenger has come, if the word is present, in whatever form that it has come (be it by organized religion, by experience, by dream, by the calling from the soul within yourself to find the path), then cast it not aside, label it not. For when you do, you destroy that which is the creative, that which is the hope, that which is the seeker within yourself. 

Mark 11:32-33 

But if we shall say, “Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.” And they answered and said unto Jesus, “We cannot tell.” And Jesus answering saith unto them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.” 

S In that time when the call is answered, in that time when there is an awakening within yourself, then you, too, will find that which is the Christ. Doubt Him not, cast aside not that which is the Light. Cover it not, for it is the truth. It is your salvation. It is your way.
