Our Father, who art in heaven, oh Creator, we come before Thee seeking Thy wisdom, Thy love, Thy mercy, that we may be as Thy workers in this place and in this time. Through our Elder Brother we ask this.
Source:
Behold the raising of the Christ! Behold the rising Son! Behold the Holy Spirit, oh ye mortals. For God is awake. God is alive. Know His mercy. Know His love. Behold, the Lamb which is the Way, the Light and the Love. We have the Light. Behold the Christ. Behold Jesus the Blueprint. Behold the love in action within this world. Know you: even as the rain falls upon the just and the unjust, the rich and the poor, so God’s love and light falls upon all that is. There is none spared, no, not one, for love and mercy, forgiveness, is His food for thechildren.
Q In the first statement, should “Behold the rising Son” be S-o-n or s-u-n?
S Both. For Jesus who became the Christ, the S-o-n, became as that which you would become planets to, s-u-n, and that which you see with your physical eyes as the light then becomes the Light to the inner eye, or the spiritual eye, that you may see the more. [10-64]
Mark 4:1-2
And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
S Here you have that which occurs within yourselves in the time of prayer and meditation when the call goes forth, that which are the waters are the spirit upon that which is set the ship of state, or that which is as the shores where that which are the transactions, the thoughts meet, and then that which is within the ship, the Christ Force, that works, that brings into being the forces of God, the love, the understanding between that which is the daily use of the body, the mind, the actions of same.
Mark 4:3
“Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:”
S This is the action of self, the sowing upon life or that which is the entry, or that which is the opportunity: the sowing of deeds, the sowing of thoughts or actions within.
Mark 4:4
“And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.”
S This is the mind action that is pushed aside, destroyed, lost by the idle thoughts, the selfish thoughts. Even as they scatter like birds in flight, so they scatter that which are the good intentions, or the good.
Mark 4:5
“And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:”
S Here you have that which is the thought or the intentions that are only superficial, find no depth within the being. These are the actions that begin, have no foundations, or have no finishing and are worse than the first. For in this is the shallowness of the personality developed and the refusal of self to realize the true personality of the being.
Mark 4:6
“But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.”
S Here you have that under the test or the trials and tribulations. Whether they be the rigors of the daily world or the Word in action, they cannot survive. They must be cleansed by that which is the destruction.
Mark 4:7
“And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.”
S These are the actions that hurt others. The actions that stab, tear, rend that which are the spiritual principles within a person – inborn, innate, and discouraged by the very actions and thoughts of an entity.
Mark 4:8
“And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. “
S These are the actions created by thought, by faith. And through faith all things survive and grow, some by thirty which is the spiritual nature or the triumvirate inside of self by that which is the God Force of ten; by sixty, that which is the teaching through the actions of self and the use of the teachings of others through yourself by the God Force to ten; and then the God Force and the Christ, ten by ten, working in perfection within self to the highest ability within this life form, this planet, this material place.
Q What does triumvirate mean?
S It is the original word for a threesome. You have many words derived from same. It is the original meaning “to govern, or to run”, even as the Russians have troika, or trio. [10-64]
Q Should anything more be given for the understanding of the numerology?
S The numerology of this is as ten representing the force or the spirit of God, three as first being that which is representative of God as known to man through God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Six, being that which is the teaching number and also the learning number from another or other sources which are, or is to be the teacher. And then ten which is the supreme work of God, once again, within mankind as exemplified by the Christ. Here you have that which is the reaching, or the perfection of self, or allowing the forces of God to meet that which is out and that which is in, forming the perfect ten times ten – one hundred – or, in essence, one, the being of God.
Mark 4:9-10
And he said unto them, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
S Here, now, you will have that which is the calling, or that which is the explanation for (in the material) or the first step or that which is the understanding from that which is man’s behavioral pattern or thought pattern that must be explained. But the hearing here is meant truly for that which is the inner ear or that which discerns the spiritual qualities and quantities of all things.
Q This literal interpretation of the Bible, as you just expressed it, is for the material ear, the material understanding. Is there anything that prevents the average person from grasping the spiritual understanding that we’re being given?
S Training, their own intellects, the inability to decipher that which is the spiritual in all things, or the spirit of God in all things. Man’s own training throughout the eons of time from the beginning of the entry, or that which is the wave of entities coming into that which is the physical. The training has therefore been (or the substance of understanding) based upon that which is the literal to (what would be called best) the human mind or the human aspect. Not that which is the true mind – the spiritual mind, the God mind that lies within -but that which is developed, or those senses developed, and the dependence upon, especially, the five senses – the lower senses – to bring about that which is the understanding of the laws of the material-physical plane. It is the development of the intellectual-mental attitude or the intellect-mental mind.
Q Can we expect to run into strong rebuffs from the orthodox thinking if we present this material, not in a critical and a right versus wrong attitude, but as an enlarged concept? Would this be more acceptable?
S It has never been acceptable since there have been set down patterns of thought to follow by that which are the organized concepts. For the very thought of expanding a concept is felt to be a weakening of the base of power, or even that which is the ego-centered understanding, that certain people, especially of authority, feel is justified in their positions. There is always jeopardy in change. There is always that which attacks, you see, the social, political standing of individuals. You see it in your governments; you see it in your educational systems; you see it in your philosophies; you see it in your past and your present. You see it in your religious structures, past and present. You may expect, always, opposition. And yet, this is as the tempering of the blade, the strengthening of a root, the honing of the edge, the whetting of that which is the force of love and goodness. That which is worthy never comes cheap. That which is of value cannot be earned lightly. And yet, it all must be approached in the manner of loving indifference, patience. For remember, unless you can understand the brother, the sister, and the position taken, the elements of their thought or the power that drives them or contains them, you have yourself not experienced the love of God. For regardless of the stage of development of the individual, you yourselves have been there, or must return there for the learning. And realize, even this material and selves are but one stage, one development. And all must proceed to a higher learning, higher understanding and even drop this material as time progresses and selves progress past the stage of time, past the stage of progress.
Mark 4:11-12
And he said unto them, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.”
S Even as within yourself you must mete that which is the understanding (and we spell that m-e-t-e) where you must gather that which you have sown, you must pluck the read you have tossed upon the waters. So He gave to them in the parables that in the future when they had learned the more, they could find God’s love and mercy, yes, grace; that the karmic understanding would be bypassed or thrown aside. For it was not time yet for them to bypass karma. For all must go through the stage that is karmic. This does not mean all must betied to karma. For karma itself is illusion, too. And those who would live by karma are judged by karma. For it is a law. But those who would find grace lose karma and know the only reality is grace, which is God’s love in action. And know there is only one law – the law of grace. Even in self you must understand there is a certain amount of meting and a certain amount of life that must be expended and used in that which is the karmic area. But then comes that which is the explaining of the parables of life which is karma. And karma being the parable of life, or the parables of life is thrust aside when grace, when love is in full reign within the individual being, even as exemplified in the life and teachings of Jesus the Christ, your Blueprint, your Way.
Q Can one say that the mystery of the kingdom of God in a material understanding is the understanding of reincarnation, and until somebody understands the law that we live many times and that there is such a thing as karma, they’re incapable of grasping certain elements of spiritual knowledge?
S This is correct. And then the third stage (you have named the first two), the third is the overcoming of karma, not by willfully putting it aside, but by living in that which is the Christ, which puts aside all that is except that which is mercy, that which is grace, that which is total love.
Q Is it right to summarize the understanding of grace by stating: this is what Jesus gave us with the Holy Spirit that we didn’t have before? Is this basically what grace is?
S This is the breaking of the wheel of karma by the knowledge of love – true love – through grace, given to you and to all, through that which is the life, the teaching, and the sacrifice of the Bread of Life and the Blood of Life, Jesus the man, who became christed, that ye, too, may live and find life more abundant.
Q Did Jesus quote from Isaiah, “Cast your bread on the waters and it shall be returned to you” so many times?
S He did. For it was the backbone of His teaching. This and, “By the fruits you shall know it.”
Q Is there a level that is higher than grace?
S For your understanding, no; but for your edification, yes.
Q Could you explain that a little more, please?
S You cannot understand even grace. How can you understand that which is beyond grace? So the answer is yes and no; no and yes.
Q How does the bread come back on the water?
S This is that, that your actions at one level bring you back (as is taught by many churches) the good things of life. But the true meaning and the higher meaning is: your thoughts, your actions bring back the Christ to you, or rather, even more specifically, bring the Holy Spirit, or that which works as God without, to meet that which is raised in self or released – the Christ Force – which then is the meeting of God’s elements that do the work within and without.
Q My understanding is that the bread, in this case, symbolizes energy, and you cast your energy on to the water, which is the symbol of spirit, and it comes back to you. How many times did the Master say it came back?
S He varied it. Even as it was varied for groups. He began with five for the basic senses of the individuals, and then gave as seven again to those groups who were more mature, more mature in their thinking, their understanding, and their actions. But, in the end, to those who were as His close companions, He gave to them to cast the bread upon the water, or the waters, returns one time – meaning that which He was giving and they were about to receive, the cup of grace. For you begin and you grow greater, and then you come to that which is the epitome, from five to seven to one.
Mark 4:13-14
And he said unto them, “Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word.”
S Here is the explanation as given to the material-mental mind. And yet the sower, or he who sows, is that which is the element within the individuals, or the individual, that uses that which is the Word (should have been capitalized here [in the Bible]), for the Word is the Christ in action.
Mark 4:15
“And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.”
S Who is Satan but the intellect which wipes away as much as possible of that which is not the ego developer. The self, or the me (or the me-isms), destroys that which are the teachings, if possible, for an individual.
Mark 4:16
“And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;”
S This is the individual, the entity, or the entities that are the superficial, that are based also in themselves, that cannot hold to any line, any reasoning, any way that does not satisfy the immediate wants, the superficial man, the questing, questioning mind that does not really work for the good of others, but only for the self or the self-image.
Mark 4:17
“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.”
S This is the individual, or the individuals, who cannot martyr that which is their own personality, or the developed personality – not the inner or true personality – and find the trials and tribulations of disciplining themselves are beyond their wants (or, as they would see it, needs) and therefore blithely put aside that which is too difficult, too hard, too time consuming, what have you, and then turn to something else. You see them as they jump from one teaching to another, one church to another, one political understanding to another, one philosophy to another, on and on and on. For to sink roots into the ground would mean sinking the mind and the intellect below that of the spiritual qualities and calling.
Mark 4:18
“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,”
S These are those who are back-biting, those who would bear false witness, those who would slash and hurt, especially to those that they have been close to. And yet, as they progress to their new situation, turn and rend even as a hurt, wild beast would rend and tear, for in themselves they are ruthless. These are the true Lucifers rather than those who are seeking and lost.
Mark 4:19
“And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.”
S The Word cannot be choked or destroyed, but hidden and pushed aside. In every individual is the opportunity to overcome that which is the lower, the material. This is not to say that you cannot live within a material world, function within a material world. But to understand and use it correctly, not to be chained, not to be bought by material things.
Q If your words and actions are not hurtful, when you feel you have been wronged but your thoughts are not correct, do the thoughts nullify your attempts to avoid karma for the other person?
S The superficial for the other person is avoided, but that which counts for the individual harboring the thoughts is self-damnation. By this, “damning” means karma.
Mark 4:20
“And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.”
S Once again you have that which is explicitly giving the guidance and the understanding of how the function or the proper use of the Word, or the Way, happens within an individual or a group – the progressive steps in the use of Holy Writ.
Mark 4:21-23
And he said unto them, “Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. “
S There is the understanding or the example, you see, much misunderstood. For many have taken this to mean that you must become as an orator, a chest thumper, a pulpit pounder, and say this is not hiding the light. But He, the gifted one; He, the Light; He the Son, showed by His example what the Light is that cannot be hidden. It is the thoughts, the deeds, yes, the actions. It does not mean that you preach verbally the Word, the Way, the Light. But you become that which is the action of the Word, the Way, the Light. And there is a great difference.
Mark 4:24
And he said unto them, “Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.”
S The mete, or the met, or handing out, or giving out, is how you will judge yourself. And you must judge yourself in that time of reckoning, in that which is the karmic understanding or that which is known as reincarnation. Therefore, be warned: not only by your actions are you known, but by your actions are you condemned of yourself.
Q This apparently is another way of expressing Matthew 7:1-2, but there is an extra clause in it. What does “Unto you that hear shall more be given” mean?
S This is the opening of that which is the understanding in the quest for the spiritual; not condemning, not deciding that this is right and that is wrong. This is understanding the conditions of your fellow man, sometimes misunderstood as sympathy – no. Understanding, patience, long-suffering, this is the opening up that you can hear. And what do you hear? The still small voice from within yourself. Then you need not that which is any other source. For the source is Life. For the source is God. For the source is Love.
Mark 4:25-29
“For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.” And he said, “So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.”
S There are those who will accept the Word. For all, at one time or another, now have been exposed. For those who do not accept the Word, he hath not. And that which has been given to him as to be seen [as] individuality will lose it in the total time of reckoning. And he that has accepted at some time, someplace, within the life spans, the Word then will be given. For there is misconception, you see. If you have received and believe and have faith at some time, and come back again to right other wrongs in the karmic sense, you do not have, you see, to once again live by the faith. For you have received. And that which you have earned as sometimes termed “good karma” cannot be lost. Therefore, quite often, you see, those who are the silent, those who live the quietly, those who do not seem to shine, those who seem to be so humble are those who are on the brink of leaving this place, this material thing for bigger and better things. For they have accomplished and only are tidying up that which is the life stream, the odds and ends. Though they have not received the understanding of grace, they have understood that which is the Word. But remember this: do not assume that you are in this position, and always work on faith and receiving and living by faith as if you have never lived before. Let the guidance be: try in all measures to follow Jesus the Christ in His way, His teachings, that you may overcome. For tie yourself not on the past. For the past is the anchor that pulls you back to the wheel and you must then overcome again and again and again. Seize the opportunity, live in the light, find the Christ, luxuriate in it.
Mark 4:30-32
And he said, “whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”
S To the individual who is steeped in that which are the philosophies of mortality, materiality, intelligence, ego – the spirit or the Word is as insignificant as a mustard seed, to be taken lightly, not to be used and, if used, superficially or by lip service. But to those who would take the Word, the thought, and realize there is no law of size (it is only in the mind of man) and all things are equal in time, space, mass, ratio, what have you, and know, then, that the thoughts of the birds, the actions, may nestle in that which is the protection of the God Force that lies waiting to be used.
Mark 4:33-34
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as They were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
S Parables are for that which is the mind of man lest they miss the opportunity or the learning process which is the karmic. But once given the understanding of the parables, the gate is thrown open, the door is standing wide, the Light awaits. You may enter into that which is the temple of love and understanding – even that which is thy body, for He who awaits within is as the Word and the Light that sanctifies the body, and the Way is then made clear.
Mark 4:35-37
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
S Here you have the Master of Life showing in the physical what must be done in that which is the mental to find the spiritual. You must guide yourself upon that which are the waters, even the waters of life. And though the storm may come to you, find the security, even as those who went with Him found the security on the awakening of the Christ Force in their presence.
Mark 4:38
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?”
S Here is always the physical voice, the mental voice, the ego force, the intellect calling out, rationalizing and wanting to be saved. For, you see, man has taught himself his true being is in that minute understanding – that tiny awareness which he calls his mind, or his operating mind at the physical-material level.
Mark 4:39-40
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, “Peace, be still.” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, “Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?”
S This is the reminding of the physical, the mental, of the prominence, the eminence, of that which is the spiritual nature of yourself. It is also that which is the directive: you should have no fear. For fear is that which is the separation of yourself from your God. And the God within will still the waves, calm the seas, quiet the storm, whether it be the physical or the mental. Regardless of that which others see it to be, the true understanding and the awakening in self will see it as it is in truth.
Q I’d like to ask about fear. We’ve been told that where fear is, God is not. What kind of fear does a God-fearing person have?
S There is no such thing as a God-fearing person in the correct term. However, as the term means to fear to disobey, or to sully that which is the name or purpose of selves, which is God-given, or the true name–this is the fear that you will debase yourself, your force, before God. You cannot debase God. You cannot sully God. You cannot soil God. Therefore, the fear is that you will let God down by disobeying that which has been set up for self to do in those series of things, or actions as prescribed by Jesus, by the scriptures, by those forces that have come before, setting a pattern or a way for selves to follow. [10-64]
Q If we have been in and out of this world a number of times, why do so many people have such a fear of death?
S Because they have not evolved; because the fear of death is that which has been ingrained in them from those times, especially those who are Atlanteans, that did not want to go the way of One, and chose instead that which were the negative forces, or the non-spiritual forces, or that of the fallen angel–the mind, the mental conditions and the one represented there. [10-11]
Mark 4:41
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
S Your entire being – mental, physical, yes, even spiritual – is awed by that which is the overpowering word and abilities of God. In that time that you awaken within yourself the Light, so you will be awed with the Light. And then may proceed to open the way that the Light may shine forth from within yourself that others will see and know the Way. Then let yourselves (the multiplicity of selves that lie within) be wiped away that there be one, one of you, directed, controlled by that which is the true personality of self, the true awareness of self, the God Force, the Love, the Goodness.
