The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most enlightened pieces of writing we have ever come across. It is incredibly advanced. Our goal for the ten stage project was to translate the spirit of this Sermon into something fresh, new, and equally awakening.
Bible in italics; our translation/interpretation below.
MATTHEW, CHAPTER 5
Verses 1-3: And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And seeing the hordes of people, the awakened went up to the mountain and sat down, and his closest followers gathered round.
And he opened his mouth, and this is what he taught: We, the awakened are most fortunate for we are those who have recognised the ego and moved away enough to rediscover our birth truth. We shall know the true beauty of eternal life.
Verse 4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
The awakened are those who have the capacity to grieve traumas of their childhood. Grieving opens their doors to the child within.
Verse 5: Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
We the awakened are those who are who can realistically appraise our own insanity. Our reward shall be unadulterated growth toward sanity without interruption.
Verse 6: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
The spiritually awakened are us who are desperate to know our child withins truth at whatever cost having the courage to integrate it into our lives. we shall become centred within ourselves.
Verse 7: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
We the awakened are those who have developed compassion for the struggles of others. Our growth shall be compassion for ourselves.
Verse 8: Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
After awakening we can deeply self-reflect. We know ourselves at our deepest birth level, and this is to know the pure child within.
Verse 9: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
We the awakened can see beautiful truth in our detractors. We shall be called the teachers of the pathway of the child within.
Verse 10: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
We having been awakened are those who are hated for honest truth we manifest. This is the sign that our eternal lives are right on track.
Verse 11: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
The awakened are rejected by our world’s liars and hypocrites. Awakening can offer us no clearer sign that we have rejected our egos own inner liar and hypocrite. If the world’s liars and hypocrites loved us and accepted us as their own it would only show that we are still capitulating to their twisted beliefs and thinking.
Verse 12: Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Be thankful for our incredibly good fortune! We may not realise how lucky we are to have the capacity to be so honest with ourself. The greatest of what the child within has to offer is now available to Us! Although the world’s sick liars now hate us, we have entered great company. All the most honest and wonderful and deepest and most truthful of us throughout history were also similarly hated. Mark our words, we are on the right team.
Verse 13: Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
We give flavour to the dull and bland. our honesty gives us value. We now have something meaningful to contribute to our world. Without our deep connection to ourself we would have no value, and our life would lack meaning. Without our deep connection to our child within ourself our death would be no loss at all to the world.
Verse 14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Our awakening is fantastic! Let the deep light emanating from our being shine from the highest hill we can climb to, and let the whole world see our radiance! Go forth and sing at the top of our lungs!
Verse 15: Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Yes, now that we have discovered the truth within us and have deeply connected to it, there comes an obligation to share the truth with others so that they too can find the truth within themselves. Fireflies evolved light so they could shine and inspire, not so that they could be pinned out in scientific collections and written about in dead journals.
Verse 16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Devote our life to sharing our awakening and optimising our ability to burn brightly. Use ourself as an example. When we share the greatness and brilliance that lies within us, We honour the greatness in everyone and everything. When we shine we become a leader in our world and recognise our divinity.
Verse 17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
So we know, our words do not contradict our ancient truths. Our belief connect those truths with the child within inside us. We are not here to destroy the truth in our beliefs, but to nurture them – and give them POWER! and understanding. The truth we share is the truth of all time, the truth of the universe.
Verse 18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Our life, life everyone’s life will have lived up to its full potential only when we are all awakened therefore living in harmony with our child within, our fellows, and our entire natural world. This is our destiny, and no one can call humanity a success until we have all achieved it.
Verse 19: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
If we do not follow this our great truth this universal river which flows through our child within then our child has no value. We have become merely a regressive force dragging human evolution backwards into the primordial ooze. But we who follow the truth in our child within and nurture it and devote our life to it – ours is the life of eternity, the awakening to positive contribution! We stand on the vanguard of spiritual evolution. our shoulders become the stepping stones for the best of the coming generations.
Verse 20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
But if we cannot be more honest with ourself than the millions of blinded leaders who parade around, already falsely believing themselves to be enlightened, then our life has no value, and we will have contributed nothing. Today is a new time in the progression of our truth.
Verses 21-22: Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
The ancient laws say that killing is wrong. But we say, The real killing happens on a much deeper level, its the killing of another’s child within. If we participate in killing another’s child within, we shackle our child within and our life loses its own value. This goes for everyone, and most especially comfort-seeking parents who drink from the psychic blood of their own children. They poison the cycle of life at its inception, just as was done to them.
Verses 23-24: Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
To contribute to life we must have a clean and unadulterated view into the depths of our perfect child within. To do this we must first respect the property line of our neighbour’s child within, then clean up our relationship to our child within to set a good example.
Verses 25-26: Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
You have a great purpose here on earth, and an enormous potential – do not squander it in trifling battles with disconnected people who are entrenched in their miserable dishonesty. We have everything to lose. They will kill us in a second to protect their lies – and we will get nothing out of it, because they are not open to our point of view. Pick our battles, and fight the war from our compassionate child within!
Verses 27-28: Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
The ancient laws say that sex outside of marriage is wrong. But we say, The true marriage lives entirely within ourself: the marriage between the consciousness of our mind and the core of our spirit. It takes full devotion to nurture this marriage. When we divert from our path toward awakening, be it through desire for sex or through any other addiction, we cheat on ourself and stunt our progress in meeting our child within.
Verses 29-30: And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Everything is worth sacrificing on the cause to know truth: Parents, friends, job, money, sex, relationships, procreation, chemical substances, prestige, fame, reputation, surface comfort, warm nights of peaceful sleep, external beauty. Get rid of whatever is blocking us from knowing our child within. Do whatever we have to do to resolve the traumas of our childhood. Suffer the pain, suffer the rejection, suffer the hatred of the world, suffer the abandonment of our lying parents. It is all worth sacrificing so that we may become fully awakened, and so that our life will not be worthless. The path to truth is all that counts.
Verses 31-32: It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
The ancient laws offered women some civil protection. But we say, The deeper laws of the universe protect the child within of everyone! If we marry another person, let our marriage be an external reflection of our deeper relationship within. Let our devotion to our marriage be as awakened, serious as our devotion to our child within. If we fail here, we betray our marriage, we betray our spouse, we betray our child within, and we betray our child withins purpose.
Verses 33-36: Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
The ancient laws prevented people from taking oaths and making vows except in the name of God. But we say, Do not take oaths or make vows at all. Do not make grand pronouncements about what we will or will not do. We fool ourself if we believe ourself to have that kind of power.
Oaths and vows only block the path to awakening. They tear us away from our child within with and send us looking in the wrong direction. Do not look outside ourself for truth while we neglect the truth within. Do not look outside ourself for our power and neglect the rumbling engine of our child within who is locked in our basement.
Verse 37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
our answers lie with the child within. Look there. Follow our heart. Uncover our own self-deception. Trace our motives. Grieve our wounds. Shed a million tears. Shed a billion tears. Study our history. This path will lead us home to our intuitive voice. All others will only lead us into the desert of death.
Verses 38-39: Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
The ancient laws followed the law of the jungle, the laws of revenge. But we say, It was a more emotionally primitive time then. Life has since evolved. A more awakened way has begun to grow from the fertiliser of their muck, and it now follows a connected, universal path. When we come in contact with the primitive of the self-deceptive dissociated school, do not tangle with their insanity. Instead study them. Learn from them. Recognise our own flaws from their behaviour. Use their words as wind in our sails. Growth is our only purpose our only salvation for our child within.
Verse 40: And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
Be willing to sacrifice everything that is secondary for our growth. If we get lost in the little scuffles, we lose sight of the greater war being waged: within!
Verses 41-42: And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Be flexible, like the young tree whose branches are full of sap. Use people’s negative treatment of us as a chance for us to provide a positive response. Share our truth freely. Use every opportunity we can as a gentle chance to offer others insight into our path towards the child hidden within.
Verses 43-45: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
The ancient laws followed the laws of tribalism, where we were expected to love only those like ourself – and hate everyone else. But we say, Love our enemies too, because the deep truth within them is no different from the deep truth within ourself. Just because they are dishonest with themselves and therefore hate the best of themselves does not mean we have to follow suit and hate them too. If we manifest full truth, we cannot help but see theirs as well. They do not know what recovery is, and who better to teach them by example than us?
But when we tell you to love your enemies that does not for one second mean that you should love their insanity, love their self-deception, or love their sick behaviour. Do not sacrifice ourselves on the altar of their insanity! Protect our child within from their viciousness. To not protect ourself would be suicidal. Do not end up a bug on their windshield. We have a greater purpose than that!
Verse 46: For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
As an evolving child within we have so much more to offer the world than simply to love only those who love us. Even a rat knows not to bite the hand that feeds it.
Verse 47: And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
The time for petty tribalism is over. All of us – and all beings – are connected by the universal spring of life. This is what binds us, not race or colour or gender or sexual orientation or age or biological relatedness or language or money or language or country.
Verse 48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
our life’s purpose is to become fully awakened to our child within. This is perfection. There is no excuse for not devoting ourself to this purpose. our job while on earth is to manifest the fullest and deepest truth of the child within us, to remove all our inner impediments which block us from knowing this truth. If we do not accomplish this before we die then our life will have failed to achieve life’s ultimate potential. We do not die partially dishonest with ourselves! Do not die partially in vain!
MATTHEW, CHAPTER 6
Verses 1-2: Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Do our good deeds quietly and privately, to satisfy only our child within in our heart. That is how we will grow – and help others to grow. We get no reward for doing our good deeds for the sake of the approval of others. Those that live for the approval of others will get that approval and nothing else.
Verse 3: But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Do not dwell on our good deeds, or even tally them up to ourself to build up our own belief in our greatness this rebuilds our sick egos. Do not even force ourself to do good deeds. Just allow our good deeds to happen as a natural consequence of our deeper connection with our child within. And when we have done our good deeds, move on and forget about them…and simply keep on growing.
Verse 5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Do not meditate loudly and wisely so that you earn others’ approval. When we give importance to external approval, we lose our connection with our child within. The bigshots who devote their lives to cultivating external approval are robots. They are dead within.
Verse 6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Instead, meditate silently and privately so that only our child within can hear. our reward will be that we shall know more truth, and we shall grow more awakened.
Verse 7: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
And be original in our meditations. Let our child within speak through our meditations. Do not meditate mindlessly, and Do not repeat the meditations and thoughts of others. If we do we will only become mindless and lose our connection with our child within.
Verse 8: Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
our child within already knows exactly what we desire. Open up our channel to our child and let this be the guide in our meditations. This way our child withins path will have no choice but to unfold.
Verse 9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Allow us to give an example of how to meditate, but remember, do not copy us: Child Within residing within me, We respect acknowledge and cherish all that we are.
Verse 10: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Child within, we have great faith in our ability to manifest through us and through all of humanity. May the pattern of our truth be expressed everywhere, just as it lies perfectly encoded in our minds and the minds of all and our enemies.
Verse 11: Give us this day our daily bread.
Guide me through this day, Spirit, and provide for my basic needs so that I may focus on my deeper work.
Verse 12: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And forgive us for our imperfections – just as we strive to forgive others for theirs.
Verse 13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
And keep me traveling on the path toward truth, and help me not to stray off it, because I so trust the beauty and strength and wisdom in everything about you. You are the way, my Spirit, and I wish to follow you forever. Amen!
Verse 14: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
If we resolve our deepest buried traumas, we will have the capacity to truly forgive those who caused them to us – and only then will have the ability to forgive ourself those same traumas that we in our past blindness have inflicted on others.
Verse 15: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
But if we cannot grieve and thus heal our deepest wounds, we will never be able to forgive anyone – or ourself for those same things that we have done. Let the poison we still hold in our heart motivate and guide us in the direction of grieving.
Verses 16-18: Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
When we make our painful sacrifices on our inward path to discover our truth, do not spread the word of how miserable and wretched it is for the sake of arousing pity and sympathy. If we do, the pity and sympathy we receive will be our only reward, and it is no reward at all. Instead, glory in our good fortune for having found the path toward the child within. Stand tall and proud for being so lucky to be able to sacrifice the less important things in life. But make our sacrifices quietly and in private, where only we can see. Then we will grow optimally.
Verses 19-21: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Do not focus on accumulating worldly goods, worldly fame, and external approval. If we do, our consciousness will at best have a tenuous marriage with our child within. The externals of life can be stripped from us in an instant in a million ways, and where will we be then?
Focus instead on our internal growth of our child, and nurture our path toward awakening. That is where the true riches of the world lie, and no one can steal them from us. The greatest investment of them all is the investment within – because it leads right into the overflowing gold mine of the universe.
That which we treasure most in our life becomes the home for our child within.
Verse 22: The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Become fully conscious, and then we will see nothing but the truth everywhere. Resolve all the issues of our unconscious, and our unconscious will dissolve away into nothing – and we will be full of light. That is awakening into eternal life which is our birth right!
Verse 23: But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
But if we do not complete this process, where we remain unconscious we will not be awakened. our eyes will deceive us. They will misread the truth and our actions will manifest deceit. And the more our consciousness is disconnected from our child within the less enlightened we will be.
Verse 24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Yet no one can live comfortably with only partial awakening. There is a pull to become either fully awakened or fully unawakened. Know truth and side with the full glory of life, or deny truth and side with the smothering comfort of death. Dying on the morphine drip is dying with poison in our veins.
Verse 25: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment.
Therefore, be willing to sacrifice everything to become enlightened. If you cannot do this, you will always live in spiritual torture. Let your internal path be your total priority. This is your life’s purpose. All else is secondary.
Verse 26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Do not live in terror of not getting enough. Everything you need will be provided. Birds do not obsess about their future, and yet they get all the seed and grain they need. And yet your purpose is so much more important and valuable, so what convinces you that the world will not provide for you as well?
Verse 27: Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Which of us has improved our life one iota by obsessing?
Verse 28-29: And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Do not get caught up in obsessing about the externals. Clothing and style mean nothing. The true beauty lies within. The lilies of the field do not stress or work and yet they grow without any trouble at all – and are more vital and pure than the most glorious of kings!
Verse 30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
The world takes care of the grass and gives it all it needs to survive and grow – and yet it is only grass, here today and gone tomorrow! Can you truly not believe that the world does not have a greater purpose for you, a potentially conscious human being who can manifest full truth?
Verses 31-32: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
We Do not give consideration to the lesser things of priority in our life. Do not worry about our food and our clothing and our housing. The most backward people who manifest no truth at all get all their external needs met – and yet you fear that you will not? You will! Everything you need will be provided.
Verse 33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Make the path toward the awakening of the child within our first priority – and everything else will fall into line.
Verse 34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Do not obsess about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. We have enough work cut out for ourself rooting out your self-deceptions of today.
MATTHEW, CHAPTER 7
Verse 1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.Do not decide the fate of others, just as we would not want others to decide our fate. Let others choose their own path.
Verse 2: For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Where you decide the fate of others, you violate them and disrespect their integrity. This only expresses the violations and disrespect to which you were subjected as a child and to which you continue to subject yourself through your own lack of emotional resolution. When you fail to honor the healing power that lies within others you only demonstrate your failure to honor the healing power within yourself.
Verses 3-4: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
And do not use others’ lack of healing as an excuse for not healing yourself. It is all too easy to focus on others’ flaws at the expense of your own inward journey. Many who purport to heal others have not the slightest awareness of their own insanity.
Verse 5: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
If our life’s priority is not to nurture our own path toward awakening, we are a hypocrite. If we are disconnected from the full truth within us live with a distorted sense of perspective and will overestimate the flaws in others and underestimate our own. Look within, heal ourself, and only then, from the perspective of our healing, assess the world.
Verse 6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
But if we do make nurturing the path toward awakening our life’s priority, protect ourself! Know the exact dimensions of our enemies! Do not expose our most tender vulnerabilities to vultures, and do not cast our pearls before swine. If we do we will only be squandering our life’s greatest gift for no purpose whatsoever, just as our deceptive parents of yesterday taught us to do.
Verses 7-8: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Instead, ask ourself the deepest questions: we shall hear the reply. Look within: the solution is there. Knock on our inner doors: they will open.
Have the courage to tap our inner resources. We are a storehouse of brilliance. Every answer we ever wanted to know lives inside us. our child within holds our truth. This is the true legacy of our eternal humanity.
Verses 9-11: Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Yet even unenlightened parents, who are by nature ambivalent in their feelings for their children, provide the best nourishment they can for them. Meanwhile, the inner core of our being holds a fully encoded template of universal love and giving Loving-Kindfulness. There is no ambivalence in our child within. And yet we often fail to have faith in it?
Verse 12: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This is the Golden Rule. But now hear the Universal Rule: Manifest the deepest truth from our child within, and we will by nature treat others with universal love…which is exactly how we ourself have deserved to be treated our whole life.
Verses 13-14: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Forge our own path through the wilderness. It is the hard path, and it is the path straight through the brambles. But it is the path to truth, the path to enlightenment, and the path to the best of yourself. The path to the child within leads straight through hell. It is a dangerous way, but if we are one of the rare children within who can connect with our inner intuitive compass, we will find the way.
We instead follow the blind and mindless and well-trodden path of the herd. Although it is safe, it leads only to the slaughterhouse. It is the path away from life. It is the path of no value.
Verse 15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Those who will guide us to the slaughterhouse will offer us every incentive in our material world. They will promise us love and peace and comfort and acceptance by the norm, and they will truly provide it as promised…until the moment they reveal their true motives and bring out their sharpened knives. They are the majority of the world’s leaders. They are the false religious guides, the motive-laden politicians, the blinded gurus, the doctors with their medication, the smiling, fanged parents, the unenlightened therapists, the dissociated meditators, the needy lovers…
Verse 16: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
The results of the false leaders’ actions speak louder than their words. The enlightened child within, connected with his or her depths, can easily read their falseness. They may dress like sheep and smell like sheep and bleat like sheep, but they still move like wolves…
Verse 17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
We who follow the child within cannot help but manifest truth and uncorrupted goodness in our lives. And others who renounce who follow their self-deceptive path cannot help but manifest pollution and self-deception and spiritual disconnection.
Verse 18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Likewise, we who follow the child within cannot manifest pollution and self-deception and spiritual disconnection. And we who follow the dissociated path cannot manifest truth and uncorrupted goodness. No matter how pleasantly they dress up their misery, it remains miserable.
Verse 19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
When people are self-deceptive their lives have lost their value. They are only good for being recycled into the next generation of humanity. Do not honour them for their lies.
Verse 20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Yet if our heart is true, do not be afraid to trust our gut intuition when assessing a self-deceptive dissociated person. They always give themselves away.
Verse 21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many of the biggest dissociates sing the most beautifully when they are onstage – and sing all the right words too! But even the best performer has to come offstage sometime. And when they are offstage they only spew poison. It’s what people do when they are offstage, when the spotlight is off them, that counts. Awakening the child within is a full-time occupation. Our child within never goes out for a smoke break.
Verse 22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Many self-deceptive dissociates genuinely believe that they are healed, when in reality they are only totally fooling themselves. To know themselves would be too painful. To know themselves would require that they face the childhood trauma of their buried past…and leave their worlds of padded comfort behind.
Verse 23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The awakened will not protect the self-deceptive dissociate from their lies. We will not bolster their insane and pain-avoidant defences. We know the stinking rot they hold in check underneath their surfaces, and the rot they subtly manifest to everyone who comes under their sway. We knows they have become twisted and disturbed, and have no business leading others.
Verses 24-25: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Therefore if we hear our deep message and we take it to heart as a belief, and we truly look to our child within riding ourself of our lies, becoming consonant and integrated with our child within of universal truth, then we will give us all the respect in this world and the next. We will be children within in truth in truth. Together we will share the awakening of our children within. We will then know how solid and truly stable we really are, and we will know that nothing can tear us down, and nothing can shake us from our renewed foundation. We will know that we are centred in ourselves, and that our power is real, deep and renewable.
Verses 26-27: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
But if you hear our deep message and you do not take it to heart, if you cling to your dissociation self-deception and your false comforts and your idealised, dishonest beliefs about your parents and your childhood, then we will know just how foolish and wasted you have become. We will see our remaining vulnerability and weakness, and we will know that it just remains a matter time before a strong wind sweeps you off your feet and leaves you dazed and lost and cut down to your true and appropriate nakedness.
Verse 28: And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
And thus the prophet completed his sermon.
We who have heard this message of the child within are shocked, because we are used to being coddled and told how great and smart and wise and enlightened and healthy we already are.
We are used to being told it was just fine for them to have children. They were used to being told that their abuse of their children was not really abuse and that their conditional love for their children really was love.
we are used to being told that our own lies and insanity were actually perfectly healthy and normal. We are used to listening to false gurus when we have problems. We are used to being told that our mindless behaviour was wise, and that we are doing the right thing by building a wall between our consciousness and the wrenching pain of our true, deep spirit.
They were used to being told that their culture was healthy, our treatment of the earth’s resources was progressive, our romantic relationships were beautiful, our love for our parents was appropriate and warranted, our histories of abuse and disrespect are overrated, Our gurus are indeed gurus, our wars are largely justified, our petty prejudices are acceptable as long as we did not push them in others’ faces, and their hatreds are rational.
They were used to being placated and numbed and medicated and enslaved and psychically castrated by those were profiting from their herd mentality. And we have always thought this was what love was.
We become uncomfortable that this strange upstart in his ragged clothes would dare to contradict everything we believe. And yet these words resonated with us on some deep and long-forgotten child within level. We are not used to hearing the truth. It makes us curious. And it also made some of us want to violently attack.
The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives. www.thetenstages.com
