The Twenty-third Saying (Part 5)
“‘God as the True Creator of the spirit is the Creator of the world in its original state – the world in the fifth dimension. However, a counter-force, which is the Powers of Darkness – a kind of an anti-God – also existed. And just as Christ was born, there was an anti-Christ – a Judas, a High Priest, or a Roman Procurator – that controlled the minds of men and women to make them kill the Messenger of God. Thus, Man is confronted with anti-God – the Powers of Darkness that destroy – and the fourth and third dimensions which are sustained by God yet are outside of God without the means of reaching God. This is the great problem.
“‘For example, in our political and social structures, we wish to survive as peoples and as a nations. In the time of a national crisis or a war, we often put away high religion in order to survive. And that is a human need. But how does a person, or a people, or a nation put away these purely physical and human needs to survive and still become spiritual, as demonstrated by Jesus, the Apostles, and the first Christians who preferred death to bondage? It is very difficult and takes the whole of a lifetime of discipline.
“‘The world needs to turn to the True Religion, which can only come to humankind by revelation. The world needs to have an understanding of the Way to God, which is living The Way, as Jesus taught. Living The Way is more valuable than the vocal expression, “I believe in God,” which means nothing. What God? Where is God? How do I attain God? Christians express a worship of God by going to church, by participating in the sacraments, or by reading the Bible. That is what they feel is the Word of God and the Way to God, which, of course, it is not.
“‘The Way to God is to receive the Power of God, meaning His Image and Word, within one’s own being in order to be transformed or reborn, and then to live on that energy – on that Light and Goodness – to become like God. It is impossible to do this as an individual living in society. An individual can do nothing of lasting value in this world to express oneself for the good of the human family. There is nothing wrong with a person doing good in the world; it is just that individuals are limited in what they can accomplish because the goodness that they have leaves the world when they die.
“‘Therefore, it is important to have The Way to God. Once individuals live The Way, they are able to receive the Image and the Word and collect together with other people, resulting in more good that can be done in the world. As individuals, the good that we do is small. It is enhanced by fellowship. The same holds true when we attempt to alter the face of the sun and its influence over the world by looking at it. If the entire human race were to look at the sun, over a period of time we could change our environment. The Way to God is all important for it teaches us how to become like God, or be recreated in the Image of God, by allowing the Image and the Word to change us. We cannot be changed by our words or thoughts or desires but only by actually allowing God to enter our beings and give us new life and maintain it. That is the goal of this Church.'”
