| |  THE
"JOINING"
Two thousand years ago, as men mark
time,
There walked a Man among men, but different than all others
For He was "joined" in spirit and kneweth of all things - of what
spirit is.
And He spoke of many strange things
and with His hands, doeth many wondrous miracles.
So much so, there were those who feared Him and that the hypocrisies of their
lives
would be uncovered.
And so they contrived to destroy Him.
And there were others who believed
this Man, each in his own way but of the world and of the way in which the world
thinketh.
And so it came to pass, in the many centuries which followed, there were
countless men,
Each, in his own way, contrived to say what this Man had said.
And they sayeth His words in their own words so that they add or that they
taketh away.
Even so, each of these speaketh of
this Man as one of them, as an earth man, who is not "joined" in
spirit, understanding not of His "joining".
And so, of this day and of this
hour, countless numbers live in a great hypocrisy, a great idolatry in which
they have hung the effigy of this Man in mute mockery and testimonial of the
savage barbarism which is in their hearts against things which they do not
understand.
They have contrived, among
themselves, to eulogize His words and they sayeth as He said, "If thou
believest in Me, thou will have eternal life".
So they worship Him, even in the bloody effigy of their own making, knowing
not that as He spoke, that as He said, "in Me", knowing as He did that
he was "joined" in spirit and was, in spirit, all things.
That if any man should know of Him and His "joining" and what He
was, what He believed, and all the other essences of spirit,
Then, truly this man would indeed have immortal life.
For surely, if he understood all that this strange Man was, Of the spirit and
the "joining",
Each believer and each man who knows thusly of all this, would be likewise
joined as was this Man.
And, by the essences of all this knowing and joining, Surely, then,
immortality and life forever was the heritage.
Yet, as of this day, men bow their
heads in a great idolatry.
Worshipping words contrived in their own minds which have been divested of
spiritual virtues.
They have created a monstrosity of
their own divulgences to the exclusion of sanity and reason or logic in the ever
expanding, creative universe which is about them.
They have abandoned sanity in the pressure of this symbolized madness.
For surely, how can this great
hypocrisy exist and become as of spirit?
For in this hypocrisy, man has created, unto himself, his own citadel.
And, if he persists in its constant erection,
That he makes it his domicile, his habitation in this and other lives,
Then he will in time, become entombed.
If a man be "joined" in
spirit, he must, in all things, be creatively minded.
He cannot think thusly, that it is of his world, or that he and others like
him have interpreted these things within their worlds and correctly, each
according to himself.
Rather, they should feel that,
within themselves,
And they should know that, within themselves,
Is the divine spark of intelligent reason which can be
fanned into an immortal flame by the desire, within every heart to be
creative,
To be intelligent,
To be ever conscious of this, "The Kingdom of Heaven Which is
Within".
So, each man cometh unto his time
and place where he must choose between the world of his own making.
The denominators of his own experiences can become as millstones around his
neck if he does not turn them into the Essenic substances of spiritual
manifestation.
If he cannot see creative logic and
reason, the infinite resources which expand his consciousness, then he is indeed
lost.
For, even as I am joined, so that
you, too, must also be joined,
That we may live in the House of the Lord, forever.
