This document delves into the spiritual significance of cleansing in relation to the Holy Spirit. It covers the concept of inner purification, the role of the Holy Spirit in spiritual awakening, and the transformative power of divine guidance. The text intertwines biblical references and metaphysical interpretations to provide a holistic view of spiritual cleansing through the Holy Spirit.
The holy spirit lies within to be awakened by the Christ force when we have found our Holy Mountain within.
Matthew 8:5-10
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, “Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented”. And Jesus saith unto him, “I will come and heal him”. The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, ‘Go’, and he goeth; and to another, ‘Come’, and he cometh; and to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he doeth it”. When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, “Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.”
S In this true situation, you see, you have that which is explained in this fashion to the metaphysical, to the esoteric mind or level. First you have Capernaum– this as representational of the authority or the power of Rome or that which commands the area or Rome being that which is the mind of power, if you would have it the power of the will as authority. You have here, then, that which is in authority or in command, or that which is the centurion, which is the power of the mind unleashed by the will, to control that which is the body, even that which is the son of the body or that which is tormented. And as the mind and will recognize the authority of the spirit as represented in Jesus Christ, so the body is saved. And the wonderment, here, is that the authority, the desire, the force of the physical being, is pushed aside by the need that arises within it and its recognition of the need for the spiritual life.
Q What does Israel represent?
S This is that which is the spirit within man, or the Holy Spirit, which is given to man, that lies to be awakened by the Christ Force, or Jesus, which is as the force that awakens, that cleanses, that has it about its duty, or that which is representational of the truth of the being.
Q What steps can we take to bring this about?
S Find thine own holy mountain, and when thou hast done so, let thyself come down and be, then; as a light within thine own body – trusting, believing, having faith, and living with the tenets thereof.
Q What is it that Jesus meant when He said, ” ... but the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth”?
S There are those who will pass that time and not accept, even those who have taken on the sign of the beast, as so many even have now, who will not, cannot, for their ego, for that which is the belief of that which is of the material or the selves, cannot give up in any shape or manner and will elect not to go forth to those higher realms and, oh, their hour of darkness will again be starting over at the bottom and working, working, through those eons of times, through each and every age that comes, for another chance. Take this as that which is for selves, to be about selves‘ business. What business? As so often given, thy Father‘s. For this is the opportunity, this is the chance that comes so few times for selves to rise above this plane. [10–8, 4-12-74]
The Holy Spirit is that which awakens the soul force and cleanses the mind.
Q Previously we were given, “There will come a time when we will expound upon this (the Holy Spirit in self)” May we be given more at this time?
S The Holy Spirit or the movement of God or God that is, that has given birth to that which is the Christ Force, the link between the Christ Force and the Creative Force. It is the hand extended across the table to mankind. It is that which gives you the faith and goes within, raising up then that which is the Christ Force or the I AM within the individual entity. It is that which awakens the soul force; it cleanses the mind and rebuilds the body. It, in truth, is as that which is the Father-Mother. It is that which is the Light. You know it as the Creative Force, on the one hand, and the Christ Force, on the other. It is the spirit that moves.
At that time the Holy Spirit is the cleansing force, where Sodom would be the physical-mental realm of desires.
Genesis 18:16
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
S This, then, is the Holy Spirit moving at that time, then, to be as that which would be the cleansing force. For remember, Sodom is that which represents the physical delights of the desiring side of humanity, those things which anchor the human to the animal sense or the animal world or the physical or the physical-mental realm.
The Holy comforter, the Christ spirit that lies within, the seeking, opens the door but in His terms.
John 16:6-9
“But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;”
S You are your own world; you bear your own sins. You believe or disbelieve as your mind so adjusts. You have heard often that mind is the builder. How true! It is not what you eat. It is not what you wear. In short, it is not that which you dedicate to the body. It is not the rays. It is not the pleading of prayer. It is that which is the cleansing by prayer, the meditation, and the actions so directed towards your fellow man that will lift you from the morass, separate you from that which is the physical. For He has given you the Holy Comforter, yes, the Christ spirit that lies within, that you may discern between that which is light and dark, good and evil, joy and despair. It is in the mind that the dedication, the seeking opens that which is the door. For He has promised to come to you, but not on your terms – His terms. Therefore, meet Him. Dedicate that which is the body, the mind, that the temple, the soul may have that which is the awakening that is yours by right.
The sickle, the new moon and the Holy Spirit: brings forth our being through the Christ within and reaches within and pulls up the force that is the spirit through the endocrine system.
Revelation 14:15
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, “Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
S This is the judgment upon the individual. For it is that time that the subconscious calls forth to the Lord God that it is time, that you are ready, that you have succeeded in meeting the Christ within and now you meet the God without, through that which is the Holy Spirit, which is the sickle which brings forth your being through that which is the Christ within. The sickle, as you would see it, is that which is shaped as the half-moon which is as that which is the symbol (though misused as the new moon in that which is the symbol of this group) which reaches within and pulls, from the lowest element to the highest element through the endocrine system, the force that is of the spirit, the soul, and God.
Q As the moon represents the subconscious, then this means a cleansing of the subconscious and starting new, anew?
S It is correct. For as often seen in this book, Revelation, the moon is the negative side or the dark side, or the shadows. And the shadows are made to pull forth, to make that which is the spiritual nature of self work. Realize what it is and why it is – and the instrument has done its work. For this is the reason there is that which you would see as pain, suffering, missing of the mark. It is but that which is the sickle which awakens the spirit for that which is the harvest.
The best wine represents the Holy Spirit within self, Cana represents the thyroid that gives the power of speech and prayer and the light that comes through the word. The wine also represents the blood as sacrificed for us.
John 2:1-10
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, “Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.” His mother saith unto the servants, “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, “Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.” And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.”
S That which is the best wine is the Christ, or the Holy Spirit within self, or the reaching to that which is as the higher elements of self. Cana, you see, is that which represents the thyroid area which gives the power to speech and to the body to put forth the prayer power and the searching word, and that which is the light that comes through the word to others. It is the vehicle for the Word as you would know it. Then that which is Jesus is asked by the holding thought, Mary, within yourselves, to do the cleansing process, the changing process. And regardless of what has come before, the Word changes that which is the spiritual understanding and opportunity within the body (even as yourselves must do). And then that which is the chief guest, or the master of the feast (which is yourself) may be amazed at what occurs within yourself once the cleansing has come through that which is the number as given, six, which is the teaching – but also the cleansing of the six lowest centers within the body that then there can come forth through the seventh the wine, or that which is representational of the blood that has been shed for you. For even as the Lamb was the sacrificial lamb in that which are the Scriptures, and Jesus the sacrificial Lamb of the Testament, so, then, the wine is that which represents the blood as sacrificed for you, that you then may have that which is the remission of sins. Then let yourselves be cleansed. Awaken to that which is the opportunity to claim for yourselves that which is yours by right as given to you by the Creative Force.
Baptism by whatever acts, represents the cleansing of self by the Holy Spirit.
Ram Reading 10-017, 6-22-75
Q Why did Jesus go through the symbolic- ritual of water baptism? How does it pertain to us? (107)
S It pertains to that which must come into each life, whether it is by the hands, by the acts of others or through the acts of self, each perpetuating in self that which is the line within or has been from times of old, the cleansing of self by the Holy Spirit. It may be through the act of the mind or through the acts of the body towards others. The symbol of the water is that of the living life, the symbol of God washing away the sins. It is for self, however, to carry it within and into the actions of self. This is the true baptism rather than that which is symbolic from without.
Although Mind is ever the builder, true cleansing and building is through God in Action, the Holy Spirit.
Luke 8:43-46
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood staunched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
S Even where the individual, or the group, or the nation, has that which drains its energies, its vital flows, there is that which is the cleansing, the regrouping, the rebuilding, through that which is the holy way, the spirit of God, the working of the Christ. Even as an individual must seek redemption, cleansing, rejuvenation (though they seek through the physician, through their brother, their sister), healing, growth, et cetera, can only come through that which is the Christ Force, that which is the Holy Spirit, that which is God. It is true, mind is ever the builder. And on some planes and in circumstances, mind is the builder that constructs, that can rebuild or rejuvenate – allowed only by God to do same in freedom of choice and will. But that which is the cleansing, the true building and overcoming, is through that which is the spiritual nature, God in action, the Holy Spirit, or in the individual – the Christ.
Water as a cleansing force represents the action of the Holy Spirit, and God commands that all be put aside that the Holy Spirit may have free reign in our world.
Revelation 9:13-14
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, “Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.”
S Each has a starting point. Even as water is the cleansing force, even as it is the life force of this planet for those things which you would have as animal or vegetable, it is also representative of the spiritual force or action or the Holy Spirit within this world and the actions of same; and then that is God as the Creator, or Creator of all things, commanding that all be put aside that the Holy Spirit may have free reign within your world, within your personal worlds of selves.
Prepare the Way, by being cleansed by that which is the Holy Spirit. The Seventy were both men and women in pairs.
Luke 10:1
After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
S Even as that which was the Prince of Light sent life outward to announce, to prepare the Way so that within yourselves, that which is as the center or the centers of the body, being seven, cleansed by that which is the Holy Spirit, making it seven times ten, or as seventy, which then goes even as twos, though it would appear to you to be a miscount. For in the seven centers raised up is then the division of that which is as the love center, giving that which are the pairs, or as that which is half of seventy, being thirty-five, or eight. Then raising that which is the mental, the physical, to the level of the spiritual, cleansing forth the body, the functions of same, and the karmic order of things.
Q The word Aum is a 35 numerologically, and so is the word Ananda or bliss. Does this relate to the pair of 35s?
S This is often the way that the raising of the forces within the body comes towards that which is the cleansing of the body, but in themselves do not raise self to the level, as given, where the Holy Spirit has raised the body. Though in their way, their manner, they do that on the level that the entity, using same, or those entities using same, must be raised to their fullest at that time before the appearance or use of the Holy Spirit.
