In the cosmic Being, all is contained in all things and equally important (17-24)
1. Then they led to the pharisees the one who was formerly blind. It was the Sabbath when Jesus mixed the clay and opened his eyes.
2. Then the pharisees, too, asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them, "He spread the paste on my eyes, and I washed myself and can now see.
3. Some pharisees said, "This man is not of God, because he does not keep the Sabbath. But others said, "How can a sinful man do such miracles? And there was disagreement among them.
4. They said again to the blind man, "What do you say of Him who opened your eyes? He said, "He is a prophet.
5. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and could now see, and they called the parents of the one who could now see.
6. And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son of whom you say that he was born blind? How is it that he can now see? His parents answered them, saying, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind; but we don't know how it is that he now sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. He is of age; ask him, let him speak for himself.
7. His parents said such things because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed that He was the Christ, he would be cast out of the synagogue. This is why his parents said, "He is of age, ask him.
8. Then they called once more the man who was blind and said to him, "Give honour to God; we know that this man is a sinner. He answered, saying, "I do not know whether He is a sinner or not; but I know one thing, that I was blind and can now see.
9. Then they asked him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes? He answered them, "I already told you, and you did not hear it. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you, too, want to become His disciples?
10. Then they reviled him saying, "You are His disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses. But we do not know where this man is from.
11. The man answered and said to them, "So, it is amazing that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. Now we know that God does not hear the sinners.
12. But when someone is God-fearing and does His will, this is the one He hears. Since the beginning of the world, it has not yet been heard that the eyes of one born blind were opened. If this man were not of God, He could do nothing.
13. They answered and said to him, "You were born altogether in sin, and you want to teach us? And they cast him out.
14. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God? He answered, saying, "Lord, who is He, that I may believe in Him?
15. Jesus said to him, "You have seen Him twice, and He is the One who is speaking to you. And he said, "Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him.
16. And Jesus said, "I Am come into this world for
judgement, so that those who do not see may see and those who see become blind. And
some pharisees who were there with Him heard these words and said to Him, "Are we
also blind? (Chap. 54:1-16)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Grasp the meaning of what is written, and you will recognize that the spiritually blind and their guides have reacted blindly at all times. Even in today's time [1989], the spiritually blind and their guides react as at the time of My earthly life: blindly.
They do not know the truth and therefore cannot apply the laws of God either.
But the one who knows the laws of God, because he lives in the truth, can see and is able to do much from the truth. But the one who is spiritually blind - because he lets himself be blinded by this world and therefore lives in sin - condemns, rejects and accuses of evil those who speak and act from the truth.
"I Am come into this world for judgement, so that those who do not see may see and those who see become blind means that I Am come into this world in order to let the justice of God become manifest through the actualization of the eternal law. The one who does not fulfil the justice of God in his earthly life gives himself over to his own trial and becomes his own judge - for he reaps what he has sown.
Christ shows people the way to God, because He is their Redeemer. The willing ones who strive to live the laws of God will perceive the life, for everything takes place in the soul of man. The light and the shadow, that which it has inflicted upon itself, flow from the soul. Salvation becomes manifest to the one who dissolves the shadows through Me, the Redeemer. And nothing remains hidden to the one who draws nearer to the source of divinity.
However, those who believe that they see because they teach the gospel are the blind ones, because they do not live accordingly. They hold great speeches and talk about the law of God and the deeds of Moses. Yet, in reality, they know neither the law of God nor the instructions of God through Moses: The one who only speaks of God is not in God and is therefore spiritually blind. The perceiving one is the one filled with God, because he lives in God.
17. Jesus came to a place where seven palm trees grew and gathered His disciples around Him and gave to each a number and a name, which were known only to the one who received them. And He said to them, "Stand like pillars in the house of God and carry out the orders according to the numbers which you have received.
18. And they stood around Him, and they formed a square and counted the numbers; but they could not do it. And they said, "Lord we cannot do it. And Jesus said, "Let the one who is the greatest among you be as the least, and let the symbol of the first be as the symbol of the last.
19. And they did so, and there was equality in every way, and yet each bore a different number, and the one side was as the other, and the upper was as the lower, and the inner was as the outer. And the Lord said, "It is enough. Such is the house of the wise master builder. It is square and perfect. Many are the chambers, but it is only one house.
20. Consider again the body of man, which is a temple of the Spirit. For the body is one with the head, and it is one body. And it has many parts, yet all are together one body, and the Spirit controls and rules all. It is the same in the Kingdom of God.
21. And the head does not say to the bosom, I do not need you, nor does the right hand say to the left, I do not need you, nor the left foot to the right foot, I do not need you; neither do the eyes say to the ears, we do not need you, nor the mouth to the nose, I do not need you. For God has placed each part where it fits best.
22. If the head were the whole, where would the breast be? If the innards were the most important, where would the feet be? Yes, to these parts which some consider to be less honourable, God has given the most honour.
23. And those parts which some consider uncomely have been given much more comeliness, so that they may care, the one for the other; so, if only one part suffers, all of them suffer; and if one part is honoured, all other parts rejoice in it.
24. Now, you are My body; and each one of you is a
particular part of Me, and I give a fitting place to each one of you, one head over all
and one heart the centre of all, that there be no gap anywhere, so that, just as your
bodies, your souls and your spirit, you, too, may praise the All-Father through the Holy
Spirit, who is active in all and through all. (Chap. 54:17-24)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
As Jesus of Nazareth, as the incarnated Christ of God, I always referred to the whole eternal law in My teachings, for all is contained in all things - the smallest in the great whole and the great whole as essence in the smallest. When the wise one speaks about one aspect of life, he also perceives the whole in the aspect, that is, all the laws of life.
The seven palm trees symbolize the seven basic powers of God from order to mercy. All basic powers are effective in one basic power. That is the great whole, the all-law, God, in which everything is contained in all things. Be it a number or a name - everything is contained in all things.
I repeat: The smallest, which lives and is effective in the cycle of evolution, is in the greatest, and the great, the fully mature, is already contained in the first steps of evolution.
Just as each organ and each smallest component of the body is significant, so is the smallest significant in the Kingdom of God, too, for it contains all aspects of infinity. There is nothing in the cosmic Being that would have no significance, because the great is in the smallest as all-encompassing law and the smallest, which develops to the great, to the fully active divine law, is already in this great, all-encompassing active law.
The one who addresses the smallest, which is in the process of evolution on the way to the great, addresses, at the same time, the great, the fully unfolded law, God. The house of the universal master builder is created in this wonderful, absolutely perfect way: the infinity. This is why there is no above and below, no behind and before, no right and no left, no poverty and no prosperity, neither a small and insignificant, nor a great which puts itself over it.
God is equality, freedom and unity. There are neither masters nor servants in the
eternal Being. All beings of light are brothers and sisters, children of the one Father,
who is the one Lord of life, the Creator of the heaven and the earth.
