This is My WordThe one through whom God flows becomes a blessing (2-6).
Respect for all that is created; disrespect is subject to the causal law (7-10)
1. When Jesus noticed how the pharisees murmured and took offence that He gained and baptized more disciples than John, He left Judea and went again to Galilee.
2. And Jesus came to a tree, beneath which He dwelt for several days. And Mary Magdalene and other women also came there and served Him with what they had, and every day He taught all who came to Him.
3. And the birds gathered around Him and greeted Him with their singing; and other creatures came to His feet, and He fed them, and they ate out of His hand.
4. And when He departed, He blessed the women who had shown Him their love; and He turned towards the fig tree and blessed it, too. And He said, "You gave Me shelter and shade against the burning heat, and moreover you gave Me food.
5. Be blessed, grow and be fruitful and let all who come to you find peace, shade and food, and let the birds of the air find their joy in your branches.
6. And behold, the tree grew and flourished in quite an
extraordinary way, and its branches extended more and more upwards and downwards, so that
no similar tree of such beauty and size and none with such an abundance and such goodness
of fruit was to be found. (Chap. 34:1-6)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The one who lets the blessing, the power of God, flow through him is a source of strength for human beings, animals, plants and minerals.
Only when a person lets God flow through him will he be a blessing for everyone and everything. The one through whom God streams loves people, animals, plants and minerals selflessly. The one who incorporates people and the nature kingdoms into his life is in communication with the all-life. Life in its diversity thanks him by giving itself in abundance, and it will give to all who come to the source of life.
The one who respects life also knows the eternal home. Already on earth, he lives in the middle of the paradise of God, for the nature kingdoms serve him and the elements obey him.
7. Jesus came into a village and saw there a stray kitten, and it suffered from hunger and cried out to Him. And He picked it up, wrapped it in His robe and let it rest at His breast.
8. And when He went through the village, He gave the cat to eat and to drink. And it ate and drank and showed Him its thanks. And He gave it to one of His disciples, a widow called Lorenza, and she took care of it.
9. And some of the people said, "This man takes care of all the animals. Are they His brothers and sisters, that He loves them so? And He said to them, "Verily, these are your fellow brothers from the great family of God, your brothers and sisters who have the same breath of life from the Eternal.
10. And whoever cares for the least of them and gives it
food and drink in its need does this to Me, and the one who deliberately allows that one
of them suffer privation and does not defend it when it is ill-treated allows this evil to
happen as if it were done to Me. For just as you have done in this life will it be done to
you in the life to come. (Chap. 34:7-10)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Verily, I say to you, life is the breath of God. Whether it is man or animal, they are all breathed upon by o n e power, by God.
God is life, and life is breath. The one who deliberately robs his neighbour of his breath by killing him will fall into spiritual death. In the realm of the souls, he will be a stranger; for he does not know his own consciousness and, therefore, does not know whether he lives or is dead. Even if a person deliberately and knowingly allows that people and animals be tortured, neglected and ill-treated, he will experience the same or something similar.
So, what man does to his neighbour and second neighbour, that is, the animals, plants and stones, he does to Me, and thus to himself.
Recognize that even stones are creation-powers of God, and they, too, should be met with respect.
And so, the seed of man will be his harvest.
