The Twenty-third Saying (Part 7)

“‘Jamil was entirely different from any person I ever knew. People in this Church are different. When people have been touched by God and made immortal, they live in the future after the death of the body. That is why they are not afraid. And that is why they are beyond space and time as we understand it; because if they are in the future, they are already immortal. They must have been created immortal in the Mind of God when He touched them. So they have a very unique and special place in the world. That explains why I saw a vision of Jamil before his birth into the world. Jesus often spoke in such terms. He spoke to his disciples about having been born before the world was. He said, “Before Abraham was I am. Before the world was made, I was with God the Father.” That made people think he had to be the Son of God. He had to be God coming to earth to become material so they could kill him. Not so. He was immortal because God had touched his spirit and made him Divine.

“‘That would explain why a person coming in contact with the Church has an inward inclination to participate in it. That is why our numbers are so limited in the early stages of the Church. It is only for the preordained and not for anyone else. It is not for ordinary people. That may sound somewhat elitist or exclusive, but that is the way it is. In all my years of teaching, I found it does not do any good to teach the person who cannot understand or to teach the ordinary person who has a Darkness of Soul. Persons who understand this Teaching really know it in their heart; they know it in their spirit. They recall things I say. They know it all within themselves. And that is something truly amazing, because they know more than the orthodox clergy in these areas of theology we have been discussing. They know it inwardly. All I do is confirm it. But even though they know it, they do not remember it until I teach them, or until they have read something in our scripture, or until they do something in the Church – until they make an effort in the Church to do something and by that work in the Church they learn by doing. Thus, there is a reward in the Church inasmuch as God’s Word and Image is also within The Community as it is in the Sun. Therefore, The Community becomes a small Image and Word manifest in the world. And in the Church, we call this metanoia.’”

Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,
