The Tenth Saying (Part 11 of our series)

And The Man continued.

“‘Man holds his destiny in his own hands. He has all the ingredients for immortality. And God has provided the means for Man to attain his own immortality. But, in the final analysis, Man is responsible for his own evolution. The result of his actions are his own doing. God cannot be held responsible for Man’s actions. In view of this, if anyone is to be blamed for the condition of the world, it is Man.

“‘Every person illuminated by the Sun of Righteousness has the obligation to share that teaching with others. If he does not share The Teaching, his illumination will be taken from him. God wants all to be saved. The Sun shines on every person equally. God does not give you, or me, or anyone of us, more Sun than he does another human being. We are all equal in that respect. In another respect, all people are not equal in that some are richer than others; some are maimed, ill, blind; and many are not in possession of normal intelligence. Others, by accident, chance or fate, suffer and die earlier than others. I suppose this is a kind of injustice – this partiality and difference among individual men and women. But none of us made the world nor the laws that govern it. Each of us has to make it a better place in which to live. It is a hard teaching when one is told that one’s mother, or father, or brother, or sister, or daughter, or son or friend who does not apply The Teaching will not gain immortality and enter the Worlds of Light. How can this be, we ask? Where is the justice of God? Which of us loves his family or friends less because they do not apply The Teaching? None of us feels differently toward those who turn from the Teachings. We still love them; and God’s love is no less than ours. But God has told us through illuminated prophets that there is a Way to attain immortality, and if it is to be gained, we must-needs follow The Way with all of our hearts and all of our beings else we lose it forever. Are we to believe our Lord and Maker or our own limited rational minds which reason logically not by what is right or true, but like a computer that has been programmed with limited knowledge and is therefore limited and restricted in its powers to know?

“‘The world lives. We are the products of our mothers and fathers. We inherit the world as it is. And mankind kills itself because of ignorance of higher life. There is nothing as sad to behold as the human life that is lost through ignorance, both physical and spiritual. Wars, accidents, famine, flood, pestilence, disease, earthquakes, all combine to destroy mankind. I see no justice in this loss whatsoever. It is hard for me to understand. The only answer I have is one of simplicity: we must believe enlightened prophets of God who tell us how to escape the world and save our own lives. It is like Noah, in the biblical allegory, who called out to mankind to save itself, but saved himself and animal life by building an ark that survived the flood. He might have chosen to drown with the world, but in fact he decided to live. He took precautions as we must take. Therefore, let each one submit to the polishing so they may shine forth as a brilliant jewel to give light and life unto themselves first, and then to others; one cannot give to others what one has not oneself.

“‘God has sent us a messenger of Light, Jamil, who came in perilous times. He has given us a pre-knowledge of things to come. We have but to apply The System in order to transform ourselves and the world into an immortal state. The choice is ours. And herein is the justice of God who loves us. We can but inform others of the message and let each person decide for themselves, with dignity, whether he or she will follow The System or not. In this also, there is justice. It is unfortunate that Man is, to a great degree, governed by reason and logic of mind that is dictated by those intellectual processes formed from the moment of birth, by observation: of the seen world. Until spiritual faculties are developed, Man has no concept of the unseen world of sensations. Until spiritual faculties are developed, it is difficult for Man to understand that there exists much more to life than is observed. This is the value of The System – it enables the spiritual faculties to develop through a practical method.

“‘The actions of people are dictated by their culture: schools, institutions, professional bodies, news media – all predetermine what and how people think. To try to break them from established patterns is extremely difficult. Therefore, when you who are following the Teachings of Light try to illuminate your fellow and they reject this, it does not change the fact that they are asleep, and are going to die as a natural order of events. This is a hard teaching.

“‘You have two choices: you may join others and perish, or you may dedicate your whole being to the service of God in Community, according to the revealed Teachings so that you may be immortal because you love God and want to listen to your Father. It is that simple. If you try to find any other solution, any other answer to the question, you will only confuse yourself. You have to learn to accept ignorance and pain as it is—quietly, and calmly, and without judgement. The world is what Man, in combination with Darkness, has made it; a sorrowful thing indeed. There is a great advantage to faith. If you have faith in the goodness of God, then believe in the Teachings of Light and be saved.’”

Hello. I hope you have been well. I apologize for the delay in this week’s message, but I have just recently returned from Mexico and have been catching up. In addition, we are finalizing some very important projects before the end of this calendar year – things I will be able to inform you of very soon. In the meantime, let’s progress with the messages contained within the Tenth Saying.

The Tenth Saying (Part 10 of our series)

“And the Fourth Mariner said: ‘I have a question that comes from my rational mind, my logical reasoning powers. It concerns the concept of a just God or divine Justice. Of all the millions and billions upon billions of people who have ever lived upon the Earth since the beginning of time, how can it be that only a very small part of the family of Man will ever know the truth of The System, or ever be allowed to know the Teachings of Light possessed by this Community? The majority of these people were good and honest people. Many alive today are well motivated and desire immortality as much as I do. They are searching for the truth. But because of circumstances they may not find the truth. Some may have equal potential but not equal opportunity. Circumstance may determine this; by virtue of this circumstance they are not exposed to The Teaching and cannot develop their true potential. Not taking the Light into their bodies, they never are allowed to realize their own immortality. The question here is one of justice. Is this fair? Is there a possibility that there may be an interim period of time for choosing between the Light and the Dark for that individual who did not have the opportunity while living on Earth and experienced physical death?’

“And The Man said: ‘Let me ask you a question . Do you believe that everyone who has been born is equal to Jesus Christ? Do you believe that all are of the same level of awareness as a Moses, a Mohammed, a Buddha, a Confucius, or a Lao Tzu?’ And the Fourth Mariner said: ‘No.’

“And hearing this answer, The Man said: ‘Then why, in the goodness of God, are not all people equal? Why did God select those few to be different? It is not just if we think in terms of logic and reason. Why do not all people speak of God, teach with urgency, and set their minds and spirits on a righteous path back to the Godhead from which they have fallen? Jesus was as a man on fire. He taught for a few months, certainly no more than a year, before he was crucified. He possessed such an urgency to take the Teachings to his people that nothing could stop him. If you will remember, the Apostles were as men on fire, waiting to take the Word out to the world. They felt the same urgency to share their teachings with humanity. It is the same with us.

“Think of the unborn children who would have come into the world if circumstances had been favorable. They would have been born and known life except for fate; someone’s decision, or by unfortunate timing or other circumstance. We cannot judge God for not giving birth to the unborn. This is the way of life on Earth. Life is a precious gift that each must appreciate. There are the spiritually unborn, too – those who have the potential for life, but because of circumstance will never know immortality. Everyone of the Earth possesses a Spirit. Indeed all living things – animals, plants and other life forms – have a Spirit because they have their origins in God. Because everything is composed of the stuff of God there can be no death only change. With death all living things return to the Source. What is lost is the personality or character of the entity that died. This must pass away with the loss of the entity’s form and being. A person’s Spirit returns to God, devoid of spiritual ego, with physical death. But of all creatures, Man has the potential for immortality because he was originally created in the Image of God, that is of Light. Within this potential is the capacity for spiritual ego which we know as the Soul. Once the Solar Logos, the germinal seed of God’s Word called the spermatikos by the ancients, is implanted within Man’s Spirit in the proper manner, a conception takes place. The spiritual Soul is conceived and born. Then, and only then, is Man immortal and part of the Worlds of Light. This is what enlightened teachers have been telling mankind for centuries – and what this religion is telling the world – that man can be reborn in Spirit through an actual process in which new attributes, new light form, and new Consciousness is generated into being. And unless a man or a woman is reborn again in this manner, he or she will never know immortality of their own personality or spiritual ego. We are not speaking here of an emotional experience; by this I mean what happens when a person hears a sermon in a traditional church and accepts Jesus as their savior. I am speaking about an actual conception and the birth of an entirely new person in possession of spiritual Consciousness and a body of Light that envelopes the physical body. We are speaking here of a very important concept that every person on Earth should know about.”
