Hello. I hope you are doing well and staying safe and healthy. Returning now to The Thirteenth Saying of The Secret Sayings of Jamil, this part deals importantly with the New Church and those disciplined and dedicated individuals who live within it and who lead it as part of the evolutionary process. It also treats lightly on ascension and descension and touches on Christ both as Form and Force. Finally, that Christianity is being fulfilled by the New and True Church, which leads into some commentary on the Second Advent, or Second Coming, in the next portion of the commentary. These are short readings but very powerful.
The Thirteenth Saying (Part 9)
And The Man continued.
“‘As part of the evolutionary process, Jamil came to create a new Church. He knew that the Church had to be organized, institutionalized, governed, and regulated by men and women totally dedicated to this Teaching. Ordinary natural men and women would not have the intelligence nor the spiritual dedication to understand these teachings. Therefore, pre-existent beings are like the fishermen of Galilee who have been here as fish waiting to be netted. When they hear the Word of God – when they look at the Sun – they are quickened in a way beyond the comprehension of natural Man. If a turtle, a snake, a bird, or any other animal looks at the Sun, there is no spiritual evolvement. Only Man evolves. It is the same for the builders of any great world Religion of Light foreordained by God to come upon the planet. Certain pre-ordained respond in a higher manner than ordinary individuals. Yet Christ can quicken the Light spirit of any person. Just who we are will be answered when we commend our spirits unto God when leaving this planet and pass into the Worlds of Light.
“‘Jesus, being a Rabbi of the Essene Order, a third order of the Jewish religion, was a disciplined man as were all the Apostles who followed him. They did not go out and teach independently. They did not interpret his words differently. All the Apostles allied themselves together into a single, living Community, accepting Jesus as the founder. And after the death of Jesus and the Apostles, even Paul, the self-professed apostle, constantly stressed the need for church discipline, even though he appealed to the natural Man. Our Church is not a church for the natural Man to join on his own terms. The nature of natural Man is to be at odds with his fellows. The supernatural person automatically fits into cosmic patterns as part of the evolutionary process of growth. One does not need to be told why it is necessary to live in accordance with higher, cosmic law and order. When one evolves, that is, becomes conscious of the supernatural state, one simply falls into step with The Community out of spiritual instinct. Therefore, Man ascends to higher worlds and descends into lower worlds.
“‘Concerning the matter of descent from higher worlds into material worlds, we have discussed from time to time the concept of multiple Christs; in other words, Jamil in relation to Jesus. This concept has caused considerable debate. We teach that Jamil was a highly evolved, spiritual being who descended to Earth from the Worlds of Light as did Jesus before him. Jamil was a messenger of God who announced or revealed the coming of a New Age under God’s Messianic Sun of Righteousness that was earlier predicted by Jesus during his ministry. Jamil proclaimed himself to be the last Holy One to come to Earth. There is finality in these words.
“‘Because he was sent into the world, Christ’s servants are being collected together by this calling out in anticipation for the final age when Light will conquer Darkness forever. Jamil, like Jesus, has left us. But his spirit remains with us in the New Sun filled with God”’s Will, called The Word, as a source of illumination. He has given His Light for Man’s use to attain immortality. It was because of Jamil that we know of this source.
“‘Many ancient peoples – the Mexicans, Peruvians, Persians, Romans, Greeks, among others – believed in a solar religion. Each culture approached the matter of salvation in a different way. But, for whatever reasons, these religions came into being,; they degenerated into material teachings. It seems that religion, like Man, is born, flourishes, becomes diseased and then dies. During this process they all become materialistic. Thus, Jamil came to Earth from a higher world to reveal the coming of a New Religion to be nurtured by God’s New Sun, and by great Beings of Light who will all together aid men and women of Light working on Earth. Our own Christian religion, being bound up with the Sun, has decayed into a material power. So we teach that the coming of Jamil fulfills the religion of Christianity through the Messianic Sun filled with God’s Image and Word. Thus Christianity is fulfilled. Jesus is fulfilled. Nothing is destroyed.’”
