 89. Jesus or Christ |
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corner of the street, that they may be seen by man. Assuredly, I say to you they have their reward. But when you pray (meditate) go into your room ("inner room" or "upper room,", i.e. , consciousness existence in the form of SELF AWARENESS prior to and inner witness to the outer egoic person formed by the body-mind and thoughts) and when you shut your door (physical sensation which keep one's consciousness preoccupied within the physical body). Pray to your Father (commune in silence as your inner SELF), who is in the secret place and your Father (in the form of the inner holy sprit and inner SELF) who sees in secret will reward you openly.
-Jesus, Matthew 6:5,6
For your Father (in the incarnated form of the holy spirit, the inner SELF, in each living human being) knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
-Jesus, Matthew 6:8
At first, one may be ignorant of a particular phenomenon. In general, a person is not aware of the subtle connection between what he thinks, says and does. And what appears in his universe. Then he may begin to cultivate himself (with meditation). As the person begins to develop, he gradually discovers that all things are subtly connected through cosmic law. Yet at this stage, cosmic law is perceived as one thing and His being as another. He feels troubled because he thinks subtle law confines Him. He thinks he is at the mercy of it. This because he still entertains the notion of self (separate self in the form of an ego). He sees the subtle law (the law of oneness) as something external to himself. His desires fight his mind. His mind fights his spirit.
He is always in a state of conflict and turmoil, both within himself and with the world. He struggles throughout his whole lifetime, the struggle motivates him to cultivate himself (through meditation) to display his desire and cleanse the obscurity of his mind. Gradually it dawns on him that he and the law are one, there is no separation. He is not the isolated individual he perceived himself to be. All the divine subtle beings, all the enlightened beings are one with him. What happiness one experiences in that state of consciousness. Yet in reality, there is nothing called happiness. Nor is there anything called unhappiness. The concepts of happiness and unhappiness are creations of the dualistic mind. Neither exist in the absolute realm. When one is in the absolute realm (enlightenment, Satori, Nirvana, holy spirit, self realization, kingdom of God, Tao) heaven, earth and the myriad of things are like one's own fingers. The universe is like one's palm. All truth manifests within one. For integral beings (God-self-realized) there is a profound serenity no one else can reach. Only the one who tastes it, knows it. There is no one who can pass judgment on you. You are the master of your own life and death. You are the master of immortality and short life. What you do is what you are. This is spiritual truth. The profound truth is always simple. Yet absolute beings (enlightened beings) do not call it either simple or profound."
-Hua Hu Ching #40
He who is not with "me" (Christ consciousness, holy spirit, self realized, enlightened) is against "me" (for one, consciousness cannot serve two masters. That is, exist as two different expressions at the same time.) True self vs. false self, holy spirit vs. ego, enlightened vs. unenlightened, natural vs. unnatural. And he who does not gather with me scatters (he who does not center his consciousness inwardly scatters it outwardly into the body).
-Jesus, John 11:23
The spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him (because one remains in the egoic state of awareness).
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you (peace in the form of spirit which is eternal) not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your "heart" (consciousness, which is the "center" of one's being) be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
