Cast aside the dirge! Throw off the night! Awaken to the song and revel in that which is the Light. Too long have you been sad, too long have you been blind. Rub the eyes, open the ears, and let joy and love predominate. Know the Lord and that He is always with you. Regardless of those fears, those troubles, those foolishnesses that come to you, He is with you. The Lord is your salvation. The Lord is your Way. The Lord is joy and freedom, light, truth, and liberty. And there is one way, one key, one door, one path, and that is through the Christ.
Q How are we to present the first nine verses which were first given in the last reading? We have duplicate comments on these verses
S You will always have, to that which is going out to others, the many layers of meaning. We could begin with Matthew and give a new and deeper version for each and every verse and a new and deeper answer for each and every question given.
(Editor’s note: the first nine verses of Chapter 24 were given at the end of the previous Reading/session. The suggestion given by the Source is that the response is at different levels. These two versions have been merged and it is for the reader to decide if they are different, the same and/or giving a deeper interpretation.)
Luke 24:1-3
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
S (1) This was a true and actual event which startled and amazed. For even as He had predicted over and over and over to them – first they did not believe that the body would be destroyed or die, as they saw it to be. For being, even as people of this day, when that which is termed miracles are performed, cannot see beyond their own nose, so as to speak or to say. Really did not believe in the mind that the body would not be there. There was much chagrin which, if it were not so pathetic, would be next to hilarious as to the actions of the individuals involved – even those who thought so highly and believed so staunchly.
S (2) This is the idea of literalness. This is that which is as the door of the mind. This is the blockage or the stone that must be cast aside and rolled away. This is an awareness of that which lies above and beyond the human comprehension or understanding – that of the spiritual nature.
Luke 24:4-9
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,” Saying, “The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” And they remembered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
S (1) You must face yourself, your actions, even as to the time you believe that that which is the Holy Spirit is in action within yourself. For there are doubts – even to those who raise above that which you would consider the ordinary works and climes. You would consider the forces that were upon these people, who though they had great training for the greater good, could not readily accept that which was happening. For it was shock upon shock, you see. Though Mary, more than any, (Mary the mother) could understand from her training that was far above and beyond the ordinary. Others, even though they had been trained by Jesus Himself, could not understand truly what was happening, what was going on, and allowed their doubts and fears to pour forth and cloud their thinking, to color their ideas and to forget the very words as given to them by their Savior.
S (2) Within yourselves there is the facing of that which is the truth and the arguments, the manners, the rationalization, and the justifications. To that which is the Light and the messengers of the Light, which in yourselves is the message, and the awakening of the spiritual centers of yourselves, sending forth, then, to the mind processes and the body processes those messages that now, the greater knowledge, the greater wisdom, the greater way is come to pass within your own world, within your own meeting with that which is the risen Christ.
Luke 24:10-12
It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
S In reality it was not Peter, but Peter known as Simon. For Peter, at that time, had reverted to Simon, or that which was the searcher, not quite faith, as Peter became the rock. Those subjective loves, as seen in the women, searching then and truly not believing as to the word as taught to them by Jesus as to that which was: “love exists as a living thing and not as a dead thing.” They had not taken the teachings to heart. And yet, in faith they believed in their love (or the subject type of love) that Jesus would be waiting for them among the dead, though living.
Q What was the condition or position of the Shroud in the tomb that impelled Peter and John to believe, as given in John’s gospel?
S As we have the tomb, as we have those entities (and through their eyes), they saw as to that which was the image lying before them, as if the man called Jesus were as painted upon it, but freshly so, more than paint. For at this time there still was the residue, that light, that life. As left in all physical law of motion, of light, there are the particles and sub-particles that remain to form the pattern, even as thought. They saw then, as if in reality, the truth lying in the Shroud, facing them and lighted. See?
Q Did the Shroud have the shape of the body with the outline of the figure but nobody in it?
S As given, and lighted, too, see? [Special Reading 7-13-73]
S And we would give one more thing to the conductor for that which is so dear and near to his heart: that which is a further word on that which the entity has brought up in question at another time, that concerning the Shroud. We would give to the entity a further picture of that which was not given of the scene of the finding of the Shroud. We have that before us, that is as the scene and the time. We have the disciples. Then we have the other Mary. And the word is given, see. And Peter is wearing that which is of black or that which is as the border of black and has rent his garments. And the other disciple precedes him, and they hurry up the side of the hill. They find the stone as more like a plate, rolled back. How? In a slot. Why? The question is within them, “Who has stolen the Master?” And they peer in before the step is taken. There lies the napkin on the right, in the sunlight, wrapped in that which is the shape of the cross. This alone is not the proof. They step within and, lo, upon the couch of stone, on the left (in that portion that should be in the dark but rather is in the light), is that which is the garment, or that which is as the Shroud, in the form as the Master left it, with that freshly done upon it still living, the image of as death, see. And the lighting therein shining upon them in the radiance still glowing, that which lights the room. What is the reaction? Peter gives an oath, see, desecrating the name of the Father. They stumble backwards and give thanks unto the Lord. For they know what He has meant that upon the third day He would rise, that He would rebuild the temple. Then that is the scene. [Special Reading 8-4-73]
Q Who was Joanna?
S Daughter of Chuzak – Chuzak being the chief steward to Herod. She represents, in the metaphysical sense, that which is the spiritual awareness (or seeing) of that which are the spiritual subjects. In a truth, marks as an awakening of understanding of events that are spiritual or holy.
Q Were you saying that Peter reverted from the attitude that he had achieved at the crucifixion?
S Yes, from shock, from disbelief. Even as individuals who become ecstatic or aesthetic, too, in that which is the understanding, or events that occur to them, have that which is known as the let down or period of being “blue,” after that which is being as “white.”
Luke 24:13-26
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, “What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?” And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, “Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?” And he said unto them, “What things?” And they said unto him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him, they saw not.” Then he said unto them, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?”
S Here you have that which is an awareness which Cleopas, or Cleophas, signifies, becoming attuned to that which is the Christ. And all these things: doubts, beliefs, stresses, awarenesses, becoming one in the awareness to that which is the spiritual operating of the Christ within. And those that would find the way must come to that which is the realization that often He, thy Christ, walks and talks with you. But you, in your unbelief, do not know Him. For the Christ may come in the guise of others, or in opportunities, or to those flashes of insight that come to you each day, each night. Therefore, make your actions the actions of a believer, you thoughts as thoughts of a believer. And let your mouth then sing forth that which is the praise of the Lord by being non-critical, loving, and kind. And let your actions be of patience, knowledge, and wisdom, that you, too, then may realize and recognize the Christ.
Q Who was the first person to see Jesus after the resurrection?
S Jesus appeared to a multitude of people, though Mary Magdalene was the first to have voice contact and awareness of Jesus resurrected, Jesus christed. For Mary, you see, was as the symbol of loyalty and love subjected. For from her were cast (or was cast) those that were termed the devils (or the cleansing of the seven centers), which is the promise that Love bestows upon that love which is subjective or sisterly, motherly, or love that is worshipful.
Luke 24:27-44
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, “Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, “Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?” And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.” And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, “Peace be unto you.” But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, “Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my face, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.” And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, “Have ye here any meat?” And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it and did eat before them. And he said unto them, “These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”
S You have the prophet becoming that which is the Christ. You have seeking and awareness going forth to return to those, or even in yourselves, to awaken the mind, the intellect, to its work and the whereabouts of that which would seem the miracle, or which is the fact. For you have among those two that returned (what would be two leagues to Jerusalem) in a matter of time that operated in darkness, or at night, which is a brave thing to do. But in their belief they were protected. For even as He gave so often, that He protected those who believed, even as He protects those who believe now. Therefore, in finding those who had also had that which is the appearance of Jesus and called those who became, or were, the eleven heads. And many were – more – were there. They then appeared bringing their tale of involvement, their tale of seeing and meeting. And then comes the Prince of Love (the Prince that overrides all of this world, He who is the Key, the Way) to prove to them symbolically, and physically, and spiritually, the resurrection was complete – a resurrection that was different than the resurrections that they knew to be correct. For resurrection to them was reincarnation. But true resurrection was that which Jesus of Nazareth gave to them then. The symbols, here, of the fish, which was Himself, and that of the honeycomb, which is the promise and the Christ and the fulfillment.
Q Did He actually eat the fish and the honeycomb, or is that symbolic?
S He ate both to prove to those who, in their joy of seeing Him again, were afraid to believe that their hopes might be dashed. And also to dispel that rumor that was rampant, or put out by those of the priest class, that Jesus was dead and the body had been stolen. For even among those that witnessed many of the miracles, or those laws in force as used by Jesus, were doubters. For to them death was death. For too often they lived in their lives in that shadow of death, touching the shadow of death. And boundless was their joy that those things they had been taught of were true, were the promise, was the covenant.
Q Did this meeting take place in the upper room?
S No. This took place really in a Romanized building with an atrium. Fascinating here because it was changed from the U shape to that which was the atrium which gave room, covered room, to those who gathered. For there were quite a few here. Also gave them the openness to the air and to the night that made the meeting more desirable.
Q Were they hiding from the authorities for fear of being persecuted at this point?
S Not at this point. The priests were somewhat agitated but gloating still. The Pharisees somewhat disrupted, for the Pharisees did not bow or recognize, to a deep extent, the Sanhedrin. And in their own way had a mild, what you might call, rebellion going on against the priestly class. The Romans were more or less content to stay out of it as long as civil disobedience did not occur. The rabble, or that which was the mass of people, were divided between not caring at all and those who had seen and believed in Jesus as the Saviour of that which were the Jews and were discontented among themselves as to what had happened and the truth. No. They were not hiding at that time. A gloomy meeting turned to that which was joyous. Many melons were passed. It was a night that turned from darkness to joy.
Q Was there any significance in the number eleven, after Judas Iscariot had left them, that has a bearing on this issue, that would be important to know?
S This is the master number for mankind – eleven. There are many master numbers or numerals. Eleven is the numeral of mastership for mankind. For the perfect number for mankind, or that which is the number of mankind to other realms is eleven, six, eleven, one.
Q Then what effect did the addition of Matthias mean to this, symbolically?
S Symbolically, that which was the Word, put into action, brought forth the mastership among mankind.
Luke 24:45-53
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. And said unto them, “Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.
S Here you have that which is an actual event and is an event within yourselves. And yet, as actual events are misjudged, miswritten about, misconstrued, you will find here in the writing that which has misled mankind, and purposely so by those who changed the scriptures. For they operated in the manner as He prescribed to them (now totally believing in that which was the mastership of Jesus the Christ who first was Jesus and then became Christ) not to worship Him but to worship God. True, they were continually in the temple worshiping God – the temple of themselves. They did not worship the Christ, for He would not have it so.
Q Luke 24:51 says Jesus, “while He left them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.” Acts l:9 says something similar. Please explain in words we can understand just what happened. (114)
S Here, there, you see, what is heaven but a state of being with God? And at that time, Jesus, you see, became one with God thought. Therefore, existed in heaven as each and every individual here can and does experience for that fraction of time in that which are the higher meditations that are reached or attained. [Reading 10-20]

And now we would give that which is the understanding of the mastership of Jesus the Christ, being as the only man so numbered as 22. We have given that the mastership for mankind is eleven. But for Jesus, being twice that which was to lead man in and out, the mastership must be as the great mastership. Even as the Psalm of Jesus was the 22nd Psalm, so the number was Jesus’ mastership. In overcoming that which was the plane of mankind, and then assuming that which was the duty and the burden to remain with mankind until that time that all souls would either find their way to that which was God, through Him, or return to God unaware of that which was their own ability to be a master – and return as an essence to God, neither knowing that which had been or is to be, but only that of joy of God and the personality of God. Being yet above the angels, but not free as the angels, being that which is equal to a man arisen and yet not assuming the role as gods. For you see, Jesus it the Light, the Way, the only Key. Though many assume that mantle, many would be that mantle. There is but one, Jesus of Nazareth that became from the beginning of time and before time, from being created as the first to be the Way, the Means and the Truth.
