CHAPTER 41

The Conversion of the Bird Catcher - The Healing of a
Blind Person

Dealing in animals; Slave-trade - Keeping the Sabbath - The penalty for those who are knowing and for those who are unknowing (1-9). The one who fulfils the law of God sees into the depths of the Being (10-13)

1. And as Jesus was going to Jericho, He met a man with young doves and a cage full of birds which he had caught. And He saw their misery, as they had lost their freedom and, furthermore, were suffering hunger and thirst.

2. And He said to the man, "What are you doing with these?” And the man answered, "I earn my living by selling the birds which I have caught.”

3. And Jesus said to him, "What would you think, if someone stronger or more clever than you would capture and shackle you, or would throw your wife or your children and you into prison, in order to sell you for his own profit and to earn his living from this?

4. Are these not your fellow creatures, only weaker than you? And does not the same God, Father and Mother, care for them as for you? Let these, your little brothers and sisters, go forth into freedom and see to it that you never do such a thing again, but that you earn your bread honestly.”

5. And the man was astounded at these words and His authority, and he let the birds go free. As the birds came out, they flew to Jesus, sat upon His shoulders and sang to Him.

6. And the man asked more about His teachings and he went his way and learned basket weaving. He earned his bread from this work and broke his cages and traps and became a disciple of Jesus.

7. And Jesus saw a man who was working on the Sabbath and said to him, "Man, if you know what you are doing, then be blessed, for you are not breaking the law in the spirit. But if you do not know it, then you are damned and an offender of the law.”

8. And Jesus said once again to His disciples, "What should happen to those servants who know the will of their Lord and yet do not prepare themselves for His coming, nor do they act according to His will?

9. Verily, I say to you, those who know the will of their master, but do not follow it, shall receive many lashes. But those who do not know the will of their master and therefore do not do it should receive fewer lashes. To whom much has been given, of him much will also be required. And to whom little has been given, of him only little will be required.” (Chap. 41:1-9)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

The one who makes a profit from his neighbour and his second neighbour, the animal, sins against the law of freedom. When a man offers his wife to another man and when a woman offers her husband to another woman, because both have nothing more in common, then this is like a slave trade. Or when, at their discretion, parents give their children in marriage, or wed their daughter to a man who has given money and goods for her, then this is dealing in people. This is the same as slave trade. And the one who makes money from his second neighbour, the animal, is not much better than the one who gives away his neighbour, no matter for what reason.

Our fellow creatures, the animals, are the weaker ones because of their state of spiritual consciousness, since they do not yet have the developed soul-potential of a filiation-soul, like, for example, the soul in a human being. This is why man should offer protection to the animals and live with them, his fellow creatures, and neither reject them nor make a profit from them.

Just as the person thinks, so is the state of his soul - light or dark. He behaves accordingly towards his fellow man, the animals and all of nature.

The words "Man, if you know what you are doing, then be blessed, for you are not breaking the law in the spirit. But if you do not know it, then you are damned and an offender of the law” mean:

The one who, on the Sabbath, helps his fellow men selflessly, doing work for them that cannot be postponed - as, for example, for people who, on the Sabbath, are in need or fall ill, or suffer grief and pain - does not violate the law of life.

But when a person desecrates the Sabbath for the sake of his advantage, then he transgresses the law that God has given man: At the end of the week, you shall rest one day and live even more consciously in God, in order to gather strength for the working days.

The statement "Verily, I say to you, those who know the will of their master, but do not follow it, shall receive many lashes” has the following meaning: The one who knows the laws of God - be it only the Ten Commandments, the excerpts from the law of God - and does not keep them, that is, does not fulfil the will of God, judges himself. His judgement will scourge his body, that is, will strike it with what he has sown and not atoned for. For the one who knowingly acts against the law of God, sins against the Holy Spirit. This is the gravest of sins.

"But those who do not know the will of their master and therefore do not do it should receive fewer lashes” means that, because of their burden, the sin which weakens the soul, they are not yet able to grasp and actualize the laws of God. And yet, they, too, will have to recognize and repent of their sins and make amends for them. And if they do not do this in the time given to them for recognition, they will have to pay them off in full, that is, they will also be the ones who are beaten. However, they, too, will awaken one day and will then be able to grasp much. And then, much will also be demanded of them - to fulfil what they have accepted: the law of life.

The one who actualizes the laws of life becomes rich within. The one who does not actualize remains poor or will become poor. Yet everyone who accepts the law of life will one day have to account before the law, for what he accepts from the law obligates him to actualize it.

10. And there was a man who was blind from birth. And he denied that there were such things as the sun, the moon and the stars, or that colours existed. And they tried in vain to convince him that other people saw these things. And they brought him to Jesus, and He anointed his eyes and made him see.

11. And he rejoiced in amazement and awe and declared that before he was blind. "And now, after this”, he said, "I see everything, I know everything, I distinguish all things, I am a god.”

12. And Jesus said to him, "How can you know everything? You cannot see through the walls of your house, nor read the thoughts of your fellow man, nor understand the language of the birds or of the wild animals. You cannot even recall the events of your former life, of your conception or of your birth.

13. Remember with humility how much remains unknown, yes, invisible, to you. And when you do this, you will see more clearly.” (Chap. 41:10-13)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Recognize your life in what is written! Though many of you see the sun, the moon, the stars and the colours, nevertheless your eyes are kept blind. For as long as man does not fulfil the will of God, he does not behold His glory either. He looks only at the surface of life and does not look into the depths of Being. Only the one who fulfils the law of God becomes clearer and looks into the depths of life and perceives the thoughts of people and understands the language of animals. He also understands the plants which emit their sensations and their energy and thus communicate with him in this way. He knows the paths into infinity and knows the effectiveness of the stars, and he knows which ones serve as stations in order to reach infinity.

The one who fulfils the law of God will see more clearly and the one who has become the law of God is at home in infinity.
