Oh Christ, our Advocate,

through Thee to the Father, we ask that Thy

love, Thy guidance, Thy direction, Thy mercy,

come to us that we may be as that which is as a

use for Thee. Oh Love, so direct and guide us

that we may do Thy bidding now and forever.

Amen.

Awaken ye to that which is love. For how foolish is man that he believes that he knows God. But awaken to that which is love. For as love leads upon the path, so as that which is development comes. You may see that which are the stages of love, mercy, of truth, that in that time that ye leave this place and go about thy Father’s business in those realms beyond this, that ye may see and know His face.

Matthew 19:1-2

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

S Here you have that which is, though, as tranquility, or that which is the understanding in that which is Galilee, or that which are the spiritual truths is that which is Galilee. You have that which is the understanding, then, here: as Judah, or Judaea, you see, is that which is the thought stream that lies within mankind that must pass that which is the Jordan, or that which is the underlying purpose or thoughts, and that which is as the animal, the physical, the mental, and the spiritual, which come together in that which is as the Jordan. For this, you see, is representative within mankind, or the body, or the mind, or the living conditions of man, as to that which is the past, the present, pressures, lives, or that which are the directives from same in the subconscious sense. And that which is Judah is that which sometimes might be called even as sin, or that which might be considered the adversary, or that which are as the negative influences that must be overcome, that that which is within mankind might know the purposes, the reality, to know that even in that which is the Advocate, Himself, or that which is the Way, that herein lies that which is the overcoming of the tendency in man to see things as for himself, or in the man-light, rather than that which is God-light, or the true understanding that once there is the cleansing, the crossing of the Jordan, then, is to come then to the understanding that there are but illusion and truth. And illusion is that which must be kept, or put aside, or put in its perspective, so that that which is reality, or truth, may reign supreme within the individual mind, physical body, and even that which is the soul, or the soul force or purpose.

Matthew 19:3-7

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause”? And he answered and said unto them, “Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, “Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?”

S Here is that which is not for man in that which is the everyday life, but the essence of man, or the force of man within (man being the purpose that the entity comes in to fulfill). That which is as the mother and father in this, then, is that which is the mind and the body-physical. That which is the male and female, here, is the blending of the spiritual forces with the will, even as given with that as the wife being, or the mate being, as the will or representative of same. ln that which as Moses gave, then, which man did not understand, is there must be, then, until there is a readiness to unite purpose with the will, a putting aside of same, even as divorcement given here, until that time that man, exposed to that which is the understanding through even the learning of Jesus, was to use then the understanding of purpose united with will to overcome the world.

Q What is meant by ”What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder’?

S Once when man has found the purpose, or mankind rather (for man, you see here then, is that which is the purpose), when the purpose is united, then, with the will, it must be then that the path must be followed, (for) when there is that which is given by God, or the uniting of same. If there then is the waywardness of mankind, even as that which is exampled by those among the disciples (for there was much division here, you see), though they were given that which is the mind to do, to understand the will and the purpose, they cast them aside at times, or caused them to be rent asunder for that which were the purposes in the intellectual, or fell back to that which was not crossing the Jordan into that which was the adversary, Nick, sin, Old Scratch, what you would have it be, the mind, selfishness, vanity, all are one– missing of the mark, you see.

Q I‘m thinking of divorcement literally. If two people have met their responsibilities of being together, it would not then be wrong to go their separate ways?

S This was never meant as that which was considered in marriage. Only as examplement to keep that which were the people together until they could understand that which was as the spiritual meaning, rather than that which is the superficial or physical-mental meaning.

Matthew 19:8-12

He saith unto them, “Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and who so marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery”. His disciples say unto him, “If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.” But he said unto them, “All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb; and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it”.

S This, then, is that which, once again, concerns those who cannot follow the path, putting that which is the purpose with that which is as the will. And where the will strays to that which are the mental or physical purposes, then it must be put away. For all this which is as adultery is but that which is adding or detracting from that which is the purity of the way, or the spirit, or the following, you see. As to that as how man comes in, for those who as come with the purpose and enter in as the purpose, even as Jesus entered, as John entered, as others have entered, to be about the purpose with one thing set for them, needing not that which is the will, per se, as man would have will to be, but that which is the will of God, purposed beforehand and earned beforehand. And there are those, then, who find the purpose and erase that which is the past, or that which are the negative influences which pull away from self, which cause that which are as the forces to be dispersed among that which is as the material-physical being, guided by the mental, then become those who find the path and become that which is as a cause in themselves – first cleansing themselves and then being as a light to the brothers, the sisters, as to that which are the spiritual needs of the world.

You named two people who came in as eunuchs. Could you tell us any who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of heaven?

S There is a great list. We would suggest the name St. Francis, as you would term it to be, as an example that is outstanding for those who would find the path, for even though this one was as mental and physical as anyone could be. They found the Light, then used those forces which were used for the illusionary purposes towards that, then, which was as the prime, or the truth of purpose.

Q Jesus says some men become celibate for the sake of the kingdom of God. He further says only some people can receive this. As it would appear that sex is necessary so that souls can have bodies to enter for lessons, how or when does this statement apply?

S When the mind is properly prepared and it comes first. Those who are in the priesthood and other similar occupations many times, or most times, take it in reverse order. The mind has not become celibate, only the body. It must become then, a dedication of the mind, then the body. And it comes when both that which are the inner urgings of the body and the outer urgings of the mind, of that which is the subconscious, the outer influences to the mind, the forces of the body come within conjunction, or become balanced.

Q Does this mean that it’s a necessity to arrive at this and control the mind before we are through our earthly lessons?

S Yes, but it may come even as a flash of lightning for a brief span of time that cannot even be calculated in your understanding of time. But when it becomes the true knowledge that fills the body and touches the soul, then it is accomplished. lt does not have to be thirty years a celibate, fifty years a hermit, et cetera. [10–17, 6-22-75]

Matthew 19:13-15

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them and departed thence.

S Even as the forces within self and the thought pattern within self is that which has not grown, or is childish in nature, not mature, or mature as God and the forces would see same to be, yet they must come to that which is the Christ purpose in their time, that they may be blessed and guided towards that which is as the illumination, the understanding. For even as among the people of this day, or in that day as exampled, the child is that which, in truth, is the trusting, the searching, rather than that which is the passive, or introspective, or self, or selfness.

Matthew 19:16–17

And, behold, one came and said unto him, “Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” And he said unto him, “Why callest  me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

S There is none good but God. But all are of God. Throw the illusion aside, and find that which is the way, the truth, the path, the reality of selves, the soul force within. Then cast aside that which is the negative, the illusion, that ye might find the truth of thine own being.

Matthew 19:18-21

He saith unto him, “Which?” Jesus said, “Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”. The young man saith unto him, “All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?” Jesus said unto him, “If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

S All these things given, or that which is given as the commandments, pertain to self, even as exampled. Would ye kill yourself–which ye do in a sense when ye think wrong, act wrong. And what is wrong? Selfishness. Therefore, as ye act within the life, so ye fulfill that which is given here. For if ye must be about that which is selfishness, or self’s way, you turn from that which are as the commandments given here. And even though you pass these things and do not give of yourself to others from that which is the material substance of the soul level (love, patience, long-suffering), you have missed the mark, trod the wrong path, not found the way. But lest ye be led astray by misunderstanding, remember, even the one,  in the truth, that came to Him who was the Christ, asking, was beloved of Jesus, and in another time or later times, before that which was as the crucifixion, came he back to Him who is the Master, having put aside the material world and given that which is the best of self to others – including that which was as the holdings, the income-knowing and understanding that all comes from God. So ye may, too, do even as he, and be acceptable and loved, even as you are loved, but in the fullness of love, rather than that which is measured by self in the acceptance of love, by your actions.

Q May we be told who the young man referred to was?

S By the name of Elseb. [10-46, 5-13-78]

Matthew 19:22-27

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, “Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God”. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, “Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Then answered Peter and said unto him, “Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

S Here is given that which is: not as the individual, because of wealth in the world, is rejected, but he who is tied to the wealth cannot pass into that which is as the glory, the goal, the hope. For where your heart lies, so is that where ye shall be too. For those who are tied to that which is the material, the material being or gain, are those who have an anchor that hold them back from that which is as the course of salvation, or that which is the returning of self towards those realms that self has come from. As to that which is Peter (faith here) calls upon that which is holiness, asking the way, that faith may guide and surface itself within the life of each and every individual, beginning with that which are the mental conditions, as guided by the spiritual self towards that which are the material and the mental understandings and positions.

Q What was meant by ‘‘it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle‘?

S You will have variations here, but it is that which is as even as a beast too heavily laden, or a rope too big to enter through that which is the eye of the needle, being that which are those possessions that possess self, being too bulky, too restraining, the anchor that holds self, back from the spiritual doing or being-which is the goal of self.

Matthew 19:28-30

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, “That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name‘s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

S Guidance here of that understanding: that once you control that which is the body, the mental conditions, even that which is exampled here as the twelve seats or the twelve tribes, being that which is the neurological which controls the body under that which is the tutelage or that which is the authority of the spiritual nature of self, or the God Force, or the awakening of the I AM within, the Christ, that ye, too, then may be that which finds the path and overcomes all the way, judging self as to that which self has done, the learnings, the understanding, and calling forth, then, upon the mercy of God that ye, in that which is the opening of self to the Christ way, the Christ Force, may obtain the mercy of that which is the understanding or the awareness that there is nothing but Truth, Light, Love. That all else that ye have seen as the material, or that which is the happening of same, is that which is as the illusionary, the illusion as created by the wandering or the selfishness of the individuals and the collective.

Q What is meant by ‘followed me in the regeneration’?

S This is the regeneration of that within self, as the neurological and spiritual regeneration of that which is self. lt is also that which is termed as the total reincarnation, or that which is as the raising of self, or that which even as Jesus did after that which was the appearance to those outside the tomb, when the totality of the being became spiritual and that which was the total force of Christ permeated and became the controller or the very being of each and every individual atom and sub particle of the atom.

Q Does total reincarnation refer to the final move from the physical into the spiritual?

 S This is correct. [10-45, 5-7-78]

Q What is the law regarding possessions? Is it wrong to have possessions?

 S If the possessions do not possess self, or the attaining of possessions do not possess those, then possessions are as even as used, as the body or the mind, to be about that which is the Father’s business. Remember, God has never created any to want. Yet the conditions that man meets are as that which are established by self, in the illusion, by that which is coming in into this earth plane and being caught by that which is as the materiality or the feeling toward material, as graduated and spread from the animalistic body to that which is the nature of this materialistic plane, to find that which is aggrandizement among those things which are selfish or self possessing things. Where, then, those things are used for the good of the spiritual nature, not holding others back or the good of others, then possessions are correct. For remember, ye are as gods and all are yours to possess through that which is the total understanding. And that which is the illusionary and not necessary is actually nonexistent and cast aside, even though they seem to be in that which are evidence of touch, taste, feel, what have you, awareness at the level you are in.

Q Why has there been so much emphasis put upon the twelve tribes of Israel by scholars when the real meaning is symbolic?

S For they saw that which are the twelve actual tribes even as man would say, see, as ”an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” – actual eyes, actual teeth; even as is superficial to man in his awareness of the material plane and the meaning of same, and to being caught and possessed by same, seeing then the twelve tribes, even as they would see the mountains, the valleys of this earth, the trees, the deserts, the rain, the sun, you see.

Q Are these twelve tribes also symbolic of the twelve signs or twelve houses in the zodiac?

S The tribes are controlled, even as the neurological system is controlled, each in its way by that which are as the astrological houses as given here.

Q Then the astrological houses or signs do directly relate to, in a given entity, those twelve neurological factors. Is that correct?

S This is correct. And the man who was called Jesus, who became Christed, was one who found the balance between that which are the zodiacal signs and that which were as the nervous system within self, the thought process systems, even which is balancing the twelve times twelve being 144 as representative of the 144,000 centers within self or, as given, as souls that are those which are saved, or are those which bring upon an individual the salvation or the awakening to that which are the God forces.

Q Please explain what is meant by ‘‘but many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.‘

S For in that which is even as time, there is no beginning, no ending. And those who would find even as a hierarchy within themselves will find that there is none that comes first. For all were created equal. All were created at the same time. All stand equal in the eyes of God. And, therefore, those who would assume themselves to be low and demeaned are as first, even. And those who would see themselves as high and mighty are as low and demeaned as those others would see themselves, all being equal.
