Most merciful Father-Mother God, we present ourselves, our minds, our bodies, our souls, that we may become vehicles of Thy love and Thy movement within the earth. We ask to be used as You know is fit, oh Father, that Your love Your mercy, will guide those that seek to see and know Thy face.

Hear then the Word! Hear then the Word that shall make you free! Live then by this: it is not the pronouncements of the mouth, but the pronouncements of the heart that declare that you are that which is a child of the living God. If you would seek to see and know the Father, then act and live as if the finding of that which is the Father were the most important thing in the life. How does one find God? but by living by the precepts that you believe. You have been told that in the search is the overcoming, that in faith you are made whole, that the riches of the promises of God may be found in the actions toward others that cleanses, that feeds the soul of the individuals. Then live in that knowledge you have acquired. Guide yourself day-by-day truly in the thought of “others first.” Have you found patience with your fellow man? Have you found love for your fellow man? Would you find the Christ? Would you find the Holy Mother – that part of God that is patient, kind, and charitable? If you live in charity, love, and patience, if you are kind, then truly you will become the door – the door that will allow the Christ to knock, that others may open you to find the Word. And the Word is love.
John 19:1-5
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they smote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, “Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.” Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, “Behold the man!”
S In presenting that which is the spiritual idea of growth you must come before that which is the mind, the intellect, the will. And in the ensuing battle, the destructive forces of the personality, the destructive portions of the will and the intellect, will assail that which is the spiritual bent. But the spirit is patient and enduring. The spirit that settles in that which is as the third eye (symbolized by the purple robe), will go forth before that which is the body of your main thoughts, the body of your past thoughts, that which is the karmic order of yourselves. It will then be presented to that which is your entire mind and the processes therein, to be weighed, valued, and found wanting. For it is ever so in those first movements. And remember this: that when you do not live to the full depth of that which you conceive to be as the holy, or spiritual way, you are then attacking that which is the spiritual body of yourself. This is what is meant by today’s truth is not tomorrow’s truth. Even though all things are true, you must advance one to the other – letting go and leaving behind that which are the shreds of the truth that you have climbed up upon. He did face Pontius Pilate. He did face the mobs. He did receive the blows. He did wear the crown. You are asked to do so much less – only to live day-by-day with the beliefs. And those beliefs He has given to you in patience to set you free.
John 19:6-12
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, “Whence art thou?” But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto him, “Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?” Jesus answered, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore, he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, “If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.”
S This is a study in itself of the frenzy that overtakes the individual faced with the true religious decision to honor the convictions of a life in the mental-physical ego, or to surrender to that which is the spiritual soul force, the God Force, love; the crying out of that which is the mental man (ego centered) to destroy that which it cannot destroy, and must in the end be destroyed itself; the power of the mind perplexed, bringing that which is the cause before that judgment in itself (which is the Praetorium) the chamber of decisions both conscious and unconscious. It is here the first battles are fought, truly fought, within the personality of the individual. And they may last for years, you see, in this condition. For the individuals vacillate from that which is the spiritual to the ego, from the ego to the spiritual, back and forth, until that time that they may throw off the bonds of the mental-physical-ego world and resolve themselves into that step which is the physical-mental-spiritual world, and progress from there to the mental-spiritual world, thence to that which is the spiritual realm and true heaven.
John 19:13-20
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, “Behold your King!” But they cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
S You have the battles being fought, as given, brought to that place of the hardness of the heart, the hardness of the thinking, progressing to that which subjects the spiritual body, the mental body, and the physical body, to that which is the time of progress to the place of The Skull, or the memento mori that must be the remembrance carried in the heart of the individual. Here is the sacrificing of that which is the body-physical and the body-mental combination for the good of others. For the battle has progressed from that which is the individual need, necessity, and seeking to that which is “others first.” It cannot be accomplished till truly you have laid down your life for God. This does not mean to slit the throat, to ingest the poisons, to divest yourself of the physical body through the destructive tendencies that mankind has built within themselves. It means to dedicate the life, not to yourself, not for your personality, and not for your pure search, but to that which is using all that is you for the glory of God. And this does not mean to destroy the personality, but to build the personality, the individuality that is the uniqueness of each and every soul. For the potential, individual personality is as Godlike as God Itself. For you have been created in His image. Therefore you, too, are as gods – unique and wonderful.
John 19:21-24
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, “Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.” Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.” Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, ‘They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots.’ ” These things therefore the soldiers did.
S Though it was written, though it was understood, it was still that which was a shock to those around the Master of Life. That which was written by Pilate, proclaiming Jesus King of the Jews, was, in truth, a truth. For Jews are that which seek God, know God’s laws and ways. Therefore, Jesus was King of the Jews, is King of the Jews. And that which he, Pilate, spake, commenting on that which was written was written, is the acknowledgment of that entity, and of the forces that be, of the karmic order of things. For that which is written may be unwritten. That which is done may be undone. For only truth lives, only good lives. And that which ye do, which is not of the Lord, will no longer exist when the truth has set you free. Therefore, live in the truth. Jesus is King of the Jews; Jesus is King of those that seek; Jesus is King of this realm. The Christ is; the Holy Spirit is; God is. Therefore, choose as He in days of old spoke: “The Lord thy God is a living God.” Then choose this day whom you will serve.
Q Why was the crucifixion of Christ necessary?
S Truly, is it not said, that if a grain of wheat should fall and die and give of its life that others might live, that its offspring might grow, for had not the wheat fallen, there would be no harvest, for place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and there would be no growth. For one grain of wheat–and from one grain of wheat–has spread the legions of wheat, see? And yet, there is more here. Who would follow if there was not that set by example? Who would understand that in giving the life, the life might be had? And who would really search and do if there was one to be called upon immediately in the flesh, and to focalize upon? Who would follow that which is of the spirit, but would be led by that which is the flesh and held in materiality–and not develop that which is in self, that which cries out to be developed, to be released? For there was that which must be given in each entity, the final sacrifice of that which is as the ego-self. And confuse this not with that which is given by the psychologists and the psychiatrists as ego, but that which is the awareness of self, thrust aside, destroyed, degraded–to find that which is the greater life, the greater love and the truth, and the oneness, and the ideal. [10-9]
Q What is the symbology of the robe being woven all in one piece?
S All is one. The Christ and you are one. The Lord thy God is one. And even as He, the Master of Life, gave, “The Father and I are one; you and I are one.” And through Jesus the Christ, you and the Father are one. It could not be parted nor destroyed. For it was the symbol, is the symbol of unity. All are the robe. This is that which you must put on to become that which is mentally, physically, and spiritually, a follower of that which is God.
Q Are the four parts of His clothing, do they represent our four lower centers or materiality?
S For this plane, yes.
John 19:25-30
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, “Woman, behold thy son!” Then saith he to the disciple, “Behold thy mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, “I thirst.” Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished” and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.
S The acceptance of the mother of Jesus as the mother of all is the acceptance of that which is the patience, understanding, and that which represents the deep earthly love. It is also representational of that which is accepting the ability to hold within, the concepts, the forces, that will guide individuals into that beneficial path for others in the worship of God in the actions held within. You have the Mary’s, as all aspects of the spectrum of man’s acts, found here, the redemption by Jesus of each in separate ways – one in forgiving, one in fulfillment, and one in nourishment. These things are those aspects of your personality that may be worked upon, brought to the fore, to establish the basis of understanding of that which are the motivations of God in creating and building this world through the accomplishments of Jesus the Christ, then redeeming the world through Jesus the Christ, giving a pathway, a door, the helping hand, through the Christ, and the force of life through that which is the Holy Spirit. The vinegar represents that which is a way, or the farthest thing from that which are the sweet wines that Jesus had given at that which is known as His first miracle, or the wedding miracle. Then, that which was given was sweet, but that which was taken was bitter – therefore representing all the aspects that you as an individual must face in proclaiming the day of the Lord within yourselves when you can do these things as He, the Christ, did within His life. We speak not of the miracles (as they are termed) but to the thought, thought reaction, action within the body, the mind, and the soul. Then you, too, may say, “It is done.” And yet, even as He knew it was done only in the physical world for Him, so you must know it, too. He is that which reigns over this world. And do Him justice by calling upon His name for the Life, the Light in others. This is “others first, Father, others first.”
Q Did Mary, the mother, actually have a sister as stated here?
S She had five sisters.
Q Can it be given what happened to Mary, the mother of Jesus, after the crucifixion.
S Lived to a ripe old age. Did not pass over as most but was lifted up bodily at that time. [10-20]
John 19:31-37
The Jews, therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.” And again, another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”
S The scriptures point out to those who would seek (even at that which is the mental level alone) the power, the authority, that is the Creative Force, or God. For God alone knows that which is man’s path. For God alone is the authority. And God alone is the redeemer. Each life that you come in you have the opportunity to be one of the thieves, or the Christ. Then comes the soldier, or that which is the angel of death, and destroys the life facilities, the faculties, of those that are the thieves. But God has taken that which is the one who has chosen to be the Christ. Here a little, there a little, stone upon stone, you build that which is the fortress, that which is the magnificent palace, that which is the castle that houses the spiritual self. Each life you add a stone here, a stone there to the structure you have created. Some built citadels, some built fortresses, some built that which were villas, and some built that which are temples to the living God. Then know that today you set the cornerstone. Make the cornerstone that which is Jesus the Christ, that that edifice that you build at this time will be dedicated to the love, the way of the Lord, rather than that which is self-defense, self-glory, what have you. Dedicate the life to God, to others, to the Way, the Truth. For He has given you the key. Use It!
John 19:38-40
And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
S Each lifetime you are anointed. Each lifetime you make advances toward that which is the Christ. Each time you have the opportunity to prepare that which is the coming of the Lord. For this is what both Joseph and Nicodemus were preparing, you see, for the return of that which is the Master of Life, or life itself. For death is only of the body, and only of this world. And what is death but that which is the regrouping, the reuse of the atomics of the body that is the physical. It is the shuttling forth of that which are the spiritual forces, or the Light, to be regrouped, rededicated, and reused. You yourselves must be even as Joseph, Nicodemus, Jesus. You must face the Mary’s and bring them forth. This is what life is about. This is the way, this is the truth, and this is the material. Use all that comes that your brother, your sister may be set free. In your actions you are known. And if you believe true, then true you will be to others. It is in the spirit of the thing that you succeed (as you have been told) the spirit of the search, the spirit of the serving, the spirit of the giving, the spirit of the finding.
John 19:41-42
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
S The tomb is always near to each and every individual. This is the transition from that which is the material-mental being to that which is the spiritual-god being. Note it is a garden, even as the beginning is given that ye came from that which is the Garden of Eden. You go from that to which is the garden of the tomb. Not a cemetery, but the garden of the tomb – from one spot of beauty to another, to fulfill that which is the understanding of the path of mankind, the path, the search and the finding; from that which is the giving of life to the finding of life, and the understanding of the greatness of the love of the Lord. This is why you have entered into the earth. This is why the experiences. This is why you have lived – to realize, to be able to recognize, and know, and value the love of God in creating you. For in the garden, in the beginning, and all during the journeys, you cannot understand, evaluate, measure, that which is love. In the overcoming of the world, you became aware of that which is God’s love. This is what it’s all about.
