This document is an esoteric and spiritual interpretation of Matthew 14 from the Bible, faith and spirituality. It explores various events and teachings in the chapter, such as the beheading of John the Baptist, Jesus feeding the five thousand, and Jesus walking on water. The analysis delves into the symbolic meanings of these narratives, relating them to themes like faith, spiritual awakening, and the relationship between the physical and spiritual realms.

Matthew 14:1-2

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, and said unto his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him”.

S This is the understanding: even (of) that which are as the lower elements within self will hear that which is the raising and know that it is the trumpet or clarion call to that which is the manifestation within self of God‘s will, God’s light.

Q Why does this statement say that Herod thought John the Baptist had risen from the dead when he hadn‘t been killed yet?

S It was understood, even at that time, of that which is reincarnation. It is to state that within the being, over that which is the physical or mental man, comes that which is never dead, but carne in with selves– that which is the God Force, however shackled by actions of the mind and the physical being. Then at that call arises again from that state which many would call death but is actually sleep. ,

Matthew 14:3-5

For Herod had laid hold on Jahn, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip‘s wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

S Here you have that which is as the pulling forth, or that which is as the physical being, the desires of same, trying to destroy or override that which is as the God Force within self. Though even as that which is the mental and physical being knows that the God Force cannot be overcome. This is more that which is the influence from the subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind within the being.

Matthew 14:6–8

But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, “Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.”

S [We] have here that which is as Herod, meaning the forces or the lower elements within the body, that which is the daughter of Herodias, that which are as the forces or the animal forces or the instincts of same, or the desires of same. And that which is as the mother (much of which would be expressed in times gone by as the earth forces or the earthmother) asking for the destruction of that which is as the finding of the truth, or that last step before the understanding of the Christ, or the God Force. This is to say, then, that which are the lower elements appealing for the destruction, or the carrying away, or the turning away of that which is the pure, the good, the light. The voice of that which is God appealing to the inner man, the forces within that are suppressed by the desires and the forces that are of the lower nature.

Matthew 14:9–11

And the king was sorry: nevertheless, for the oath‘s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

S This is the fall of man. This is that which holds for generation unto generation, the return of those into the earth plane to learn again and again. For this is the rejection of the way to find the light, or even that which is the sorrow of the mind, or the intellect through turning again to that which are the ego forces, the animal forces, desires, what have you, that lead astray.

Matthew 14:12-13

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

S This is to say that even when there has been the rejection, or the destroying, or the putting aside of that which is in a lifetime, or that which is as a turn within the earth, there is ever that which is the going again to the Christ, even as that which are the peoples, or the thoughts, or the actions of the many lives, turning again that they may find that which is the truth.

Matthew 14:14–16

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, “This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.” But Jesus said unto them, “They need not depart; give ye them to eat.”

S This turns, then, to those who would find the Way, the Light. This is that which spells or tells of the way to find the Christ by seeking. He will not turn thee aside but feed thee. This, then, is then that which is prayer and meditation bearing fruit.

Matthew 14:1 7-20

And they say unto him,” We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, “Bring them hither to me”. And he commanded the multitude to sit down  on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

S Here you have that which is calling forth those centers through meditation – the seven. Also that which calls upon the higher senses – the two – to those which are the senses as man would have them – the five- to be refreshed, to be again that which they should be, that the soul force may be fed. And that, then, feeds, as the twelve elemental nerves within the body which feed the entire body physically and mentally, of that which is the spiritual bread, the spiritual food.

Q Which are the two higher senses referred to?

S Those higher senses which ye would understand to be those psychical senses, the understanding of which is only, once again, dawning upon man. For it is that which are the spiritual forces within action: first, the psychical forces, then that of the I AM, the Christ awareness, in that order. •

Matthew 14:21-23

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

S This, then: as ye overcome that which is the body or the multitude of same, or the numbers which imply that which are (the serve)serving the nerve centers, or that which commands the body elements itself, then ye must go to that which is the highest pinnacle within self, even as represented here as the Christ going to that which is the mountain or the pinnacle. Then, here, ye meet that which is God, the forces within, the forces without, that become one, to adjust, to feed, to develop that which is the God that ye may give to others, or the using of same. ln short, the development or the calling in of that which is the spirit of God within action – the Holy Spirit.

Q Would you amplify that regarding the number 5,000 as serving the nerve centers?

S As to the main flow of the impulses within the body, or more so that which is the flow of the electrical forces, the spiritual forces, that guide the body, that awaken the body, that is controlled more or less, then, to a degree by a spiritual-mental awakening within the body: there are 5,000 centers within the body. Many used by those who understand the flows of the magnetisms, or the electrical fields within the body, even as some would apply pressures or stimuli to these areas to overcome, or to arrest, or to throw out that which is as sickness within the body, disease, or those elements that distress an individual. Whether it be those who work with the feet, those who work with massage, those who work with needles, they work upon those centers. But rather it should be, that through the spiritual awakening and understanding, that there is an overcoming of that which separates from self the functions, that of the 5,000 centers, from the mental use of the bod y.

Q You‘ve painted the picture of how the 5,000 men relate. What about the women and children?

S These are the complementary forces that go with the centers.

Q A question about the literal meaning: Five thousand were fed, the multiple?

S More than five thousand. Five thousand men. At that time the literal meaning took in that which was understood of the day, the importance being the male rather than the female, for this was a patriarchal society. Therefore, there was a separation. The women were fed and the children were fed, but they were of not of the consequence, you see, of that of the male being fed.

Q Would you explain how the loaves and the fishes multiplied?

S They were not as that as ye would have as five loaves, but that which was an example of the Master of Life using those forces that were at His disposal, or even that which was expected by the masses, to create from that which is God’s abundance, enough to feed. The example is, then, here, that those who have the ability, even only on the mental ability, can do that which is draw from an abundance that lies around all individuals and is limitless, even as God is limitless. This, then, explains those who, though not spiritually inclined, have effects upon others, have effects upon materiality, that can create monsters, or gold, or abundance of food. The Master of Life can, therefore, create even on the spiritual level beyond that which is as the feeding of those that create upon the material–intellectual plane. For here the Master of Life Himself fed that which were the spiritual portions of the entities. That is to say, even feeding the astral bodies of the entities upon the spiritual food, and also feeding that which is the physical food to the physical bodies.

Q Was this part of the symbolism of loaves and fishes? Loaves not only being the earthly five senses, the fishes the two higher senses, but also the astral and physical representation?

S The entity is quite correct.

Q ls there any significance to the combination of the five and the two – fifty-two, such as the total number of letters in the Sanskrit alphabet representing all of the petals of the various chakras being involved?

S This is correct. This is the overcoming, then, and the manifestation of the spiritual, even the overcoming of the spiritual which, in turn then, is the total commitment to God.

Matthew 14:24-26

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit”; and they cried out for fear.

S Ye have here, then, the example of He who is the Christ, that is within self too, the I AM force, that will come to you at your beck and call. But the lower elements, as spoken of before, have the fear of being overcome by that which is the higher, lest they no longer have command of that which is as the life force, or the life actions within the plane. Ye have here, then, the sea of life as represented on that which is the walking or that which is as the appearance of the spiritual forces, the I AM.

Matthew 14:27–28

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid”. And Peter answered him and said,” Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.”

S Ever is that which is representative of Peter here, that finding the faith, calling out to have that faith substantiated. Here, then, is that which is the quieting power of the God Force, the Christ, quelling those lower elements, quelling that which is the uncertainty within self. For the personality of each and every individual is challenged, or that which is the outer personality, or the developed ego personality, sees the challenge and has fear. But the quieting reassurance comes from that which is the truth, that only good will come forth.

Matthew 14:29–31

And he said, “Come”. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying,” Lord, save me.” And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”

S Even when ye stumble, ever when ye fail, ever when you fall, even though it be in the depths of self, know He is ever present, regardless of that which ye see in the illusionary world, even so real to self. He is ever present to save thee. For this is mercy, the law, the truth. He is ever present when, in truth, ye call – not for self– but for that which are others. Or knowing that when ye fail, ye have harmed or led astray others, He is there, then, to save that which is self, that which is worth saving, and to bring that which are troubles to peace, that which is disharmony to harmony, that which is unbalance to balance.

Q Does the water represent the emotions and the wind the mental level?

S Or either exchanged. This is as that also which represents the illusionary that ye sink in or are blown about by.

Q Would you explain how Jesus and Peter were able to walk on the water?

S This is the illusion overcome. For that of this world is the illusionary world. The entity, the earth, is surrounded by illusion. Whether you understand it or not, you exist within that which is as the aura of the entity earth, polluting it to a great degree, bringing discomfort to it. But that which ye bring to it even then is illusionary. Ye cannot be destroyed, but only saved. Therefore, Peter, which is faith, can walk upon that which is distress, emotion, what have you, even as the Christ, which is God.

Q Do other stars, galaxies, nebulae, what have you, that we see, exist within this aura of the entity earth or do they have an existence beyond that?
