Luke 12: Balancing Material Life with Spiritual VigilanceThe document is a comprehensive analysis of Luke Chapter 12 from the Bible, focusing on its spiritual and metaphysical interpretations. It covers Balancing Material Life with Spiritual Vigilance; various teachings of Jesus, including parables and instructions about living a spiritually focused life, dealing with material possessions, and preparing for the future. The material delves into themes such as trust in divine providence, the folly of greed, and the importance of being spiritually vigilant.

Luke 12:1-3 

In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, “Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore, whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.”

S Your very thoughts are as signs or as shouted messages to even the soul force, and knowledge of all entities from that which is the angelic host to those who have passed over into that which is the beyond, to those who are among that which is the living (or considered the living in the material sense.) For all record, one way or another, every thought, every deed, that all or the individuals proclaim within themselves and through their actions. You are your own judge, your own jury. You cannot hide. You cannot be that which hides the misdeeds from yourself or from others. For in the time of judgment that comes upon each individual, when you judge yourself, you cannot hide, you cannot procrastinate, you cannot rationalize. You can only see that which is the positive or the negative as to that which is the learning procedure within this plane. Therefore, prepare yourself for the day of your own judgment through that which is the understanding of what you have done before, and are doing now. And then attempt to change your ways and be as one who would follow that which is the example set in the Blueprint, Jesus the Christ. And even where you attempt and fail, or misunderstand, you have gained. For it is in the realization that self must help self by helping others, by trying to walk in the footprints of that which is the Light, that which is Mercy and Goodness, that you do find the Path, the Way, and the Light. 

Q How often does this self-judgment occur? 

S You judge yourself each and every day, subconsciously, soul wise. And in the passing over from one life to another there is a greater judgment. But in the end of events when a soul has reached that perfect status or has achieved the amount of knowledge that is achievable in the chain of lives within this earth plane, there is the grand and great judgment time when the individual must see self and present self to that which is thy God for further advancement. And then the way is given: whether you go this path, that path, or another path towards that which is the higher learning, the higher understanding, the greater service to that which is the Lord.

Luke 12:4-5 

“And I say unto you my friends, be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

S Those that would separate you from God in your thoughts and your actions, are those to be feared. The body is but the body. It is the container of that which is the soul purpose, the awareness, the mind, and the thinking apparatus. When the thinking apparatus denies that which is the spiritual process of self and others, then you are separating yourself from the love of God. This, then, is hell. This is that which destroys and weakens the path that you have chosen to follow. And this is where an individual must regroup, then relearn, rework, and waste that much more of the opportunity presented self in that which is the existence within a material learning experience. 

Luke 12:6-7 

“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

S This is a reminder that the five lower centers are at the beck and call of the higher centers. This is also the reminder that that which are the senses, or these senses which you live by in this plane, are at the beck and call, or justification, by that which are the two higher allowable senses within this plane, if you can reach them. This is also the reminder that the Lord is aware not only of the sparrow, the minuteness of same, but sees that which are the atom and the sub particles of the atom, the very forces, the very vibrations that are caused within the movements of the atoms, the sparrow, the individual, the galaxy, what have you. For God encompasses all things, has all knowledge and all wisdom. Therefore, put yourself not in the hands of mankind, or even your own hands, but deliver yourself, mind, body, and soul, to the love, the justice, the mercy of God. For herein lies that which is the redemption of all things. 

Q Are you saying that it’s possible to leave this plane without having reached the two higher centers? 

S We have not said that. We have only indicated that the lower centers, the lower forces or senses are subject to that which are the higher centers and the higher awareness or senses within this plane, or that which is allowable within this plane. That to awaken, or to use, or to become aware of the higher senses is that which will give you the path that releases you, eventually, from the material or that which is the physical plane and place. 

Luke 12:8-9

“Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.”

S This, once again, is the awakening. When you find that which is the Christ, then the angels of the Lord sing praise and love and mercy to the awareness that has been won. And to those who deny, there is the wailing and the sorrow. For there is, again, the lesson to be learned, the lives to be relived, the opportunity to be won, again through that which is the blood of the Lamb. It is often given that you have disappointed Him and this is the disappointment. For those who stagger and struggle and yet proceed and try, there is singing; there is mercy; there is the joy in the heavens and in the heart of Him who is the way, the Prince of Love, and yet the sadness that overcomes all at times when there are those who struggle, who fall, and then who do not seek or try again, but rescind the opportunity and recede in that which is the path. 

Q Can our guardian angels heal us while we are in this plane? 

S This is a complicated question. For mind is ever the builder and quite often the angels act through the mental processes of an individual. This is not to say that it is a correct way, but it often happens. It is better to always ask that which is the Christ to heal, expect Christ to heal, expect Christ to do the work. For then when the angelic host are used in this manner, it is through the perfection of the Christ rather than the imperfection of an individual by the needs. 

Luke 12:10 

“And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.”: 

S There has been much misunderstanding here of that which is said at the time, the purpose of same, and the true meaning of that. When you deny God within others, when you take joy in the degrading of others, the hurt to others, when you tear down those things that are built by love, and through love you are denying the Holy Spirit. And remember, the Holy Spirit is God in action. It is that which raises up the Christ within, brings in the Father without – in short, runs the worlds, the universes, the galaxies, what have you. When you deny that which is life itself, you deny yourself. And this is the destruction of self, or that which is the turning back of self, within self, in the negative attitude or way, which is then judged in the learning processes of this plane, making the individual himself, or/and the individuals connected with the individual who has turned back, that much more integrated with the physical-material-mental plane than is good for an individual or individuals. 

Luke 12:11-12

“And when they bring you into the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.”

S When you become that which is a spokesman for the spiritual, when you become integrated with that which is the spiritual, when you have trust, when you have faith, when you have found the Christ, then in all times, even as in the case of Jesus the Master, that which is the Holy Spirit speaks forth. The Christ is arisen within self; the Holy Spirit is that which then operates through yourself. And the truth of your being, your true nature, your true personality speaks forth – not that which is the phantom, the shell, the illusion, but rather the truth, reality, love. 

Q In John’s gospel, Jesus is quoted as saying that He would send the Comforter to them, which would appear to be a much later period of time than this particular occasion. Was the Holy Ghost available to people before Jesus gave this instruction before His death? 

S The Christ was not available; the Holy Spirit was available. For the Holy Spirit was that which activated all the, all the prophets, and was active through Jesus the Christ, bringing forth the Christ, or that which is God dormant within the individual or in the world. 

Q When He referred to the Comforter in those final words after the Last Supper, was He referring to the apostles particularly getting the Holy Spirit? 

S It was in reference to the Christ being awakened not only within the apostles, but all the disciples, and henceforth to all those who would believe through that which is the Christ, or that which is through God, in many paths towards the fulfillment of the Oneness, through justice, mercy, love, forgiveness. In short, it was announcing and giving at that time: grace. 

Luke 12:13-15 

And one of the company said unto him, “Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. “And he said unto him, “Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? “And he said unto them, “Take heed, and beware of coveteousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”

S As given so many times in so many ways, “actions speak louder than words.” It is your actions that count. Thought action, physical-mental action, word action. The Christ, like the man, is not the judge, not of others. The Holy Spirit, in the end, is the judge, but of the actions rather than the individual. This is were mercy comes in. For as you receive the Christ and act through same, the Holy Spirit then judges the spirit rather than the mental, or that which is termed the akashic or karmic records. 

Luke 12:16-21 

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?’ And he said, ‘This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.’ But God said unto him, ‘Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?’ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

S An individual, like a nation or a people, should and must share of themselves with others to the value of that which is needed by others the more. This does not mean to provide and let others become as slugs or as parasites, but to give the incentive even to those who would despitefully use you. It is also for an individual to realize that you cannot, as an individual or a people or a nation, rest upon the laurels of the past or even of the laurels of the day but must assume that you are in a state of constant work for the Lord. To be free of that which is the judgment you must be in a continual effort to do that which is the best for your brothers, your sisters, by entertaining no thoughts of the negative, by filling the void with that which is the positive, by finding that which is praise of God in the individual, by acting as if, in truth, this was the last opportunity to achieve for others before they must be called, and self must be called, before that which is the tribunal of self – mental, physical, and spiritual – that the tribunal then would have the authority to allow self to grow the more, to become closer to the Oneness, or to send self back that you may grub the more in that which is the physical-mental misery to the soul in more lives in the physical-material plane. 

Q What should our policy be as far as material wealth in this world is concerned? 

S Material wealth is there to comfort self and others. It is a test of will, a test of desire, a test of love, a test of temptation. You cannot cast aside your abilities to gain for the use of the positive. For you are required to live within that which is the legitimate world of wealth and counter wealth as understood by people of this plane. And yet, it is both that which are the positive and negative influences. For if wealth owns you, you have succumbed to that which is the material. But if you own wealth, the spiritual nature of self will have succeeded. In this day, in this time, mankind is reverting again to becoming slaves of that which is the material world. For [in] that which are the past fifty years, there has been a growth, more or less, away from that which is the understanding of the all-powerful financial gain, and an awakening of that which was understood by mankind at one time of the use of that which is the positive from the material gains in this world. It has been given, often, “God has not created you to want,” but you have created want, that you may gain or suffer. View it as that which is a positive thing that does not dominate your life, but that you dominate for the glory of God. [10-80] 

Luke 12:22 

And he said unto his disciples, “Therefore, I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.” 

S This is merely saying not for yourself to throw away your life, finding the most important thing in life is what you feed yourself, or how you clothe yourself, or where you go, but that all things fall into their proper place, in their proper category. That first comes the spiritual, which is exercising the lessons of this plane towards that which is the helping of others – in short, “others first, Father, others first” – and meaning it, and all things will fall in their proper place. It does not mean that you cannot have clothing, or food, or be aware of the necessity, or that which are the pleasures, to an extent, of same. But it means not to be captivated by the physical, by the mental, the intellectual rationalizing, or the desires of the physical-mental-intellectual, but rather to have them in their proper perspective, putting first the spiritual necessity, the spiritual growth, by worshiping, by acting in that which is the spiritual consciousness rather than the physical-mental awareness. 

Luke 12:24-26 

“Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? “

S The least being, here, the physical. If you cannot overcome the physical, how can you overcome this plane which is the physical? How can you overcome the mental-intellectual being to become that which is the spiritual being? For the raven is a flighty thing. It lives off that which is the bounty of the farmer and nature, and in reality contributes very little. Then be that which is the provider for others rather than the taker from others, unless in the taking you are providing for others. 

Luke 12:27-28 

“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?” 

S Here the Master of Life and Love was simply pointing out that above the physical you are a soul, you are a spiritual being. Therefore, the spiritual is of prime importance, and the material is of no importance, except to achieve, or to measure the spiritual, the soul- being, by. The lily is the symbol of that which grows from the muck and mire (it’s favorite place, you see, being the dung hill) that grows in beauty even though rooted in that which you would see as the coarse physical. And yet, it too fades away, but the spirit is that which never fades away. And then, be as the lily – grow, do that which you have come to do. Be as beauty in that which is this world but cast aside that beauty in the time of going forward to be at the disposal of that which is God’s way, God’s needs for you. 

Luke 12:29-31 

“And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

S In seeking that and overcoming those hurdles, those pitfalls, that are put before you in the physical or the material world, and feeding upon that which is the spiritual through prayer and meditation and good deeds, brings to you, regardless of the situation that you see or others see you in, that which are all good things. For remember: this world and those things of this world are but the illusion created by selves to test selves, that you may learn and do and become, once again, that which is the Oneness, that which is the Light, that which is the Way – one with the Christ, one with the Holy Spirit, and one with God the Father – separated, not by the actions of a mind-ego that has developed through the wanderings through that which are the various material-mental-intellectual planes and objects. 

Luke 12:32-34 

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” 

S Your treasure is the Christ. Bring it forth. Cultivate yourselves that the Christ enters in, the more into the life. Allow that which is the Christ to flower within you that all may know and see that you, too, may be the light, the life, and part of His flock. For the little flock becomes the great flock, and the great flock becomes the herds, and the herds become the exodus for all of mankind to leave that behind which is as its detriment. Give a legacy to those around you of love, forgiveness, actions in the Christ, a tool of self to be used by the Holy Spirit, that the Father in heaven may be pleased by the action of the loving child – obedient, wise in those things where self-controls, or that which is self-judgment, or that which is self-selection, is of a paramount objective.

Beloved Father-Mother God, fill us with Thy mercy, Thy love and yes, Father, grace that we may be active in the way that you would have us be, to follow the cause, to be the lights, to be in actuality, Father, the living symbol of “others first, others first.”

The light shineth in the darkness. And for those that clear the eyes, the light is seen. For there are those who are bedazzled and cannot see; there are those who live in the shadows and cannot know. Rejoice in that which is the ability, the chance, the opportunity to open the eyes, to see and know that which is the face of God. Repent, repent, for the hour of understanding is at hand. How often you hear but do not know. How often you see but do not understand. But this is expected of children and therefore children: love, work, and grow. 

Luke 12:35-36 

“Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” 

S Be receptive. For to be aware of the Lord is a 24 hour, not a job, but feast festival. Keep the mind, the body, and the soul attuned. This is the girding up. Be forthright, be loving, kind, and merciful. For this is the light. Be ready. For God is at hand, and the Christ is within, the Holy Spirit without. Therefore, make thy day dedicated to the Lord, and make thy night as one with the spirit of God. 

Luke 12:37-38 

“Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.”

S The servants, here, are your servants. These are the seven centers. These are that which is used by God as the path to feed you, to anoint you, to prepare you for the day of the Lord. Then work upon your centers. Bless your centers. Rejoice in your centers. For as you pray and meditate and develop at all times, your centers are ever ready. They sleep not but are forever aware and awake, as sentries, that they may trumpet the word, the coming of the Lord, and that in those times that you call upon God, the word will travel through that which is your endocrine system and awaken your entire being to the face, to the love of the Lord. 

Q What period of time did the watches refer to, the second and third watch? 

S That, in the physical or material plane of the time, referred to those watches following the midnight watch, being the most difficult hours to maintain the awakened self in the physical sense at that time. Those in your books would be twelve to three, three to six. 

Q Do they have a deeper meaning? 

S These are the meanings within self of the two highest centers being awakened, being the guardians of the body, being the guardians of the mind, and being the soul force united. 

Luke 12:39-40 

“And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”

S It has been given that prayer and meditation must become one (and in that everlasting song within yourself, constantly being sung, being played as you live, not for a short time here, not for a short time there), that all your waking and sleeping is wrapped into that which is the worship of God, the true worship in prayer and meditation, and this carried on into the conversations, the actions, the being, the thoughts of the day and the night. This is the proper attitude, the proper thing to strive for in that which is this plane. 

Q Is there a double meaning here? “Coming at an hour when you think not” referring not only to unannounced but also in meditation the absence of thought and the mind? 

S Yes. This is the time that becomes essential to that which has just been given. In other words, that is to say, when you find that time that you have stilled the mind, the physical body, and overcome that which are the desires and the urges of the mind and the physical body, that God makes Himself known, too, that mind is stilled. It is the process, the step that must be achieved to before you may live in prayer and meditation.

Luke 12:41-44 

Then Peter said unto him, “Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?” And the Lord said, “who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.” 

S This is the promise: that as you achieve through that which is prayer and meditation, that you will not only rule that which is your body, your mind, and your spiritual being, but that which are as the galaxies, the worlds that you are building within yourselves, and will have the influence of the positive upon those around you, that they also may lift themselves up from the very vibrations of your being and that they may, too, begin to find that which is the path to the totality of the Christ within. 

Luke 12:45-48 

“But and if that servant say within his heart, ‘My lord delayeth his coming;’ and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes, for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” 

S Those that would procrastinate, those that would rationalize, those that would put aside that which is the knowledge that has been shared with them, that which is the opportunity – in short, those who have the knowledge and yet do not become as wise with the knowledge are those that will be, not punished, but put in the position of the negative karmic factors as you would understand it in that which is reincarnation. Those who are in the ignorance of the word and live within that which are their abilities to live within, will be in that sense punished the less, or in reality receive less of that which you would term as the negative karma in that which is the regeneration process, or the regrouping process, or that which ye would term as reincarnation. 

Q Does the word stripes mean reincarnation here? 

S The original word was strifes, or interpreted as strifes, became stripes. For those who did not understand saw it as a punishment by the whip, leaving that which were the stripes upon the body. 

Luke 12:49

“I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?” 

S That’s the cleansing process. This is that which is the Christ way. This is what (as) Jesus came to do, the opportunity of the cleansing (not destruction, but the cleansing) and the cleansing process has begun through that which were the prophets, that which now are as the disciples or the followers. Those that seek to see and know the face of God have begun the cleansing process. All must face the cleansing process. As fire burns clean, so, then, does the spirit in action cleanse the body, the mind, the soul, and redo that which are the akashic records. 

Q Could you elaborate on redoing the akashic records? 

S The akashic records, being that which is created for man and man’s deliverance, is based upon man’s illusion. Once the illusions are bypassed there can be no record of illusion, see? 

Q Are these where the stripes are recorded? 

S Correct. 

Luke 12:50 

“But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straightened till it be accomplished!”

S Here the Master of Love and Light was speaking, not of His baptism in the river, but the baptism that He must receive of the Christing, you see. And each and every individual then will receive that which is the benefit of his Christing in that which is now the door or grace as offered by God the Father, God the Mother, the Holy Spirit, and the Christ. 

Luke 12:51-53 

“Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division! For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” 

S As an individual reaches the point in the search, in the seeking, that enlightenment becomes as the guiding light, and the entity no longer drifts aimlessly upon the sea that is materiality, so then become a divisions and battles within self in the aware mental condition, the thought patterns, et cetera, in that which are the subconscious urges, the divisions of same, and the patterns that are derived from the many, many lives that the entity has lived, and begins to converge and diverge from those things which are as the shadows of self before. Then the entities must fight the battles and overcome the negative factors. And yet, the negative factors in themselves are positive factors because, even as given so often, the blade that is the strongest and keenest must be heated and beaten to be tempered. So then self must do same. This, then, are the divisions and the wars within self. But also, there was an indicating at that time of that which would be in the reality in the family situations, or the tribal situations, the close knitness of that which was the Hebrew fabric, rendered and rented by that which was the seeking and the beginning of awareness – a truly terrifying and horrible experience to the people of that time. For the family was a sacred thing like unto God to the Hebrew of that time. 

Luke 12:54-56 

And he said also to the people, “when ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, ‘There cometh a shower; and so it is.’ And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, ‘there will be heat; and it cometh to pass.’ Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?”

S In your day, in your time, these are those who see the superficial in all things, whether they be the banker or the scientist, whether they be the worker or the farmer, those people who see not beyond their own nose and always believe that one and one are two, not realizing the ramifications of the statement, or of the numerological system that they use, that see only that which has been beaten into their minds by the community, or that which is the intellectual or the intellects of the time. For even in those days, as in now, there are those who believe in only that which they see, or know, or reason with the superficial reasoning of that which is the ego-centered mind. In many cases this is not negative but a learning experience. But overall it is a negative, or an experience that holds back, or keeps those from the rejoicing that see and know. 

Luke 12:57-59 

“Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.”

S You are your own judge, your own jury, your own jailer. If you would cast these steps aside, these aspects of yourself aside, then find that which is the way, the works of the Lord. Be about your Father’s business. Feed your soul. Be your brother’s keeper. Learn to love, forgive. Be merciful, be just, be kind, be gentle. But be not that which is thrown aside, stepped upon, or administered to wickedly. For you are the way, the truth, and the light, yourselves, when you have found the Path. For then you become one with Jesus the Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
