an interesting thing because now you're getting to the point where Jesus is on trial, and we get to the point of very close to the crucifixion. But how are you going to take this if indeed God, or whatever you want to call this entity of the universe, conditions your forgiveness on torturing somebody to death in the most grotesque, violent, cruel way? Makes you wonder, doesn't it? I mean, haven't you always wondered, isn't there a better way to forgive people and get everybody together than by ripping somebody to pieces and beating somebody so he bleeds to death? You then have to look at the Bible, and you have to look at crucifixion and all these things in the way that it's intended. And let me show you a couple of scriptures that I hope you may be able to look and begin to say, What about, what do I have here? Take a look at page 1008 in your Bible, and I'll show you something that many, many of you have never seen before. All right, now you

know that Jesus was crucified in Golgotha, outside of the walls of Jerusalem, in uncovering. Okay, this is something that you've been taught all of your life, and you're aware that this is the case. Okay, watch this very carefully as I share it with you. Revelation chapter 11 on page 1008. Now look at verse eight. Okay, and their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. See that? Now that in the Bible means you have to take a real close look at this word crucifixion, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. What was it, and why does it say that he was crucified in Sodom and Egypt when the other part of the book says he was crucified in Jerusalem, outside of the city? Because you have to begin to understand the implications of this to your life spiritually as something. The spirit, look at this, to go to page 812 before we start and look at Mark.

chapter 4. Okay, Mark chapter 4, page 812, and look at verse 11. And Jesus said unto them, Unto you it's given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables. There has to be a symbolic meaning to everything, otherwise you're left with the fact that there is some controlling element in the universe that has not the ability to forgive unless that forgiveness is conditioned on bloodletting and violence and death and killing and maiming. That's not the way it is. What you have seen in here is that this crucifixion and all the elements of Bible and ancient script are given for you to understand that they actually address you and what must occur within you if you are to quote/unquote find this thing called salvation. Okay, there is no God that says, I can't forgive you unless I murder somebody. There is no God that would use people to torture somebody to death, and then I even know that they're being used in

In order to forgive people, there is a God who has created this universe and placed a Jesus flesh within each one of you and showed you in parable and allegorical terms how that Jesus flesh must be dispensed so that the Christ part of you can rise into everlasting glory by means of the higher realms of consciousness of the human mind. Now, so let's go to page 806, and we'll go into the prelude to this story and begin to look at this symbolically and allegorically and in the realm of parable, as Jesus says, and begin to try to understand what's being said and why it's being said, what's being done and why it's being done. Matthew chapter 27 and verse 26: Then released he Barabbas unto them, and when he had scourged, just delivered him to be crucified. He released Barabbas, the controlling factor, releases Barabbas unto the mobs, unto the multitude. Why? Because they don't understand who stands for the value of life. And basically, what you have here is

you have Jesus representing the son of color. They have you have Jesus, which represents the right hemisphere of the brain, of the divine aspect of consciousness. You have Barabbas, who represents the lower aspect of consciousness. And who does the crowd say that they trust? Give us Barabbas. There is nobody you will find in any church in this county, in this state, or in this town, except in very few of them, that will say, I will choose that which is the divine consciousness. I will choose that which is the higher consciousness. They'll say, No, I will trust that which is my lower mind. The crowd says always, Give us Barabbas, because Barabbas represents the lower mind. Barabbas represents the tradition. Barabbas represents the culture. Barabbas represents everything that you've ever been born and raised in, lived with. And the crowd always says, Give us a key. I'll trust this. In fact, religion said, Stay away from this. This is the new age. Don't get near this. Stay with us. Stay with the

lower mind say so mistakenly. They choose the lower realm of the carnal ego, which is represented by Barabbas. That's what's in there. What the heck would it be in the Bible for such a stupid thing? I mean, just use your common sense as grown adult people with a group of people standing outside somewhere say, Let Charlie Manson go and kill Pope John. I mean, beastly real. It's the same thing. There's no difference. It's so stupid that it's in there to let you see what the heck the truth is. Moses Maimonides is when you see something so stupid in the Bible. That's your common sense as it's ridiculous. Stay there. God's trying to show you something. This is what's being said here. The mobs will always choose. The crowd will always choose that which is the lower flesh and want nothing to do with that which is the higher mind. That's what's being said there. Now, in the matter of the scourging, they bring Jesus to the scourging, and they taint Paul, and they rip them to pieces with

this whip and so forth. And so, I mean, this is all part of God's divine plan, so he can forgive you from smoking or some stupid thing, you know, that you know. But they rip this man to shreds to forgive you for we don't even know what. But what is it all about? He had to be scourged. Scourging is a lashing out upon the back. That's what it went through, this particular thing. Okay, the back is the location of the spine. The spine is the location of the point of energy from which flows that which we call in mystic circles Kundalini. Okay, look at what I'll show you. Go to page 1005 in the Bible and look at Revelation chapter 5. Revelation chapter 5. We've seen that the mob and the system and the forces of the system, first of all, will choose that which is the lower over that which is the higher. Now they start lashing out, and what do they lash out against? Revelation chapter 5, verse 1. Here's the

book of life, and I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within that's within you, and on the back side sealed with seven seals. Bang, that's what they're lashing out at, that's what they're lashing out at, that's what they've gotta rip to pieces, that's what they come against, that's why the scourging is an important part of this particular picture because the system, even those closest to you, will lash out against this. Those part of your family members, even though it's in the Bible, they never talk about it. How many of you've ever had people who claim to be born again who ever tell you about the book of life, which is written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals? How many ever sat down to discuss it? They can't even acknowledge such a thing, and here it says that they lash out. The system rises, and it's fury comes against this type of thing, and they'll do it in whatever way they can because

they don't understand it. They're afraid of it. What was Jesus doing the whole book? He goes around healing blind people, getting little girls out of this thing, come to the little children. They gotta kill this guy. He's dangerous. Did you notice that? What did he ever do? He's a nice guy. He helps people. He does things for little kids, you know, don't hurt anybody. It shouldn't touch this today. Everything is nice, huh? He's... you can't be when you do that. You're a threat to the system. It's like the Hari Krishna's in the airport. They worked like hell for years to get those people out of the airport because they weren't even roses away. This is dangerous. These are flowers and they smell nice and they're dainty and you can't have that kind of a thing, say. But you could put a Marine Corps recruitment booth in there and that's perfectly alright. Yeah, hey, god bless them. Let's go get a gun, say. Anybody that comes away the system with an approach of love and

peace and him is this threat to the system because that's not this. That's not the way the system operates. So now we move into the will here and for the nature of God as we study this, which is the crucifixion of the five senses, the part that is within you that must die. [Laughter] Disgusting when you look at that, okay? The Jesus part in you must die. That's the physical representation of the flesh that must die. And why is Jesus so important? Because this part of you that is the flesh part of you is the part that has the capacity that once it dies, it becomes no longer man. It now becomes divine. It becomes Christ. That part of you must die. So let's take a look at Matthew 27 on page 806, Matthew chapter 27 and verse 27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. Why are soldiers such a prominent part of this? Because for the crucifixion or for the death of the

Jesus part of you to take place. There must be in your life that which soldiers represent mystically, and what it represents is discipline. Do you think what would happen to us the other night when we have to see Kotaro most so many of our dis was totally destroyed because we couldn't figure what to do? Something had distracted us, something had intervened between what we were looking for and what we were trying and in the truth. And so we have to then learn from these types of things, and it's a good, it's good that this happens. And we start to look at it from the position of a mysticism. We have to always discipline ourselves to break through the distractions and go to the center. That's why it's so difficult on Tuesday night, so on Thursday nights whenever you come to meditate, because it's easier, it's much easier to stay home, especially if there's a World Series down, there's football games on this television. It's much, much easier. And so it requires that part of you which is represented by

soldiers at that part of you which is the discipline. Can you discipline if you cannot discipline yourself? The Jesus within you will not die, and unless the Jesus dies, the Holy Ghost cannot come. So unless the Jesus part of you, which is the flesh part of you, dies, then there can be no Holy Spirit within you. And in order for that to die, there must be the discipline. Because if you don't want to dump and the heck with it, you don't want to do it. It's just that simple. You're not going to do it. Doesn't make any difference. You can get bored. You cannot feel good. Something can interrupt you. Something, you know, I didn't like this. Something I didn't like that. The music's too loud. The music's too low. The music's just fast. The music's too slow. Whatever you want to say, there's a million things that can cause you to say, I don't want to do it. And when you have made that decision, it's not gonna happen.

In this story, the good guys are the guys that kill them. The bad guys are the best. Oh, don't do it. See the people that are surrounding you. So don't go, don't meditate, go through these things. They're not helping you. The ones that come and say, slaughter the flesh, kill the flesh out, kill that which is the lower. Those are the ones saying, as soon as Jesus dies, he becomes Christ, and that's within you. That's the miracle of this story. It doesn't happen. It doesn't have to happen to somebody fifty thousand, two hundred thousand, two thousand years ago. It happens to you right now. But you have to discipline yourself. You've got to fill yourself with an orderly discipline to do this work, and you cannot let anything disrupt the mission which you have been sent here. And that's why you're sitting here. Otherwise, what the heck are you listening to me? I mean, you could go to church, you could be in a church singing Amazing Grace somewhere, and I mean, it could be really

traditional, and you could have people telling you that you're gonna get healed, and all of these wonderful things are gonna happen, and it makes you feel good. Even if when it doesn't happen, it's still because when it doesn't have, you say, Well, it didn't happen this time, but next time it'll happen. So, you'll go back, and it never will happen, but then you'll die someday, and it'll do. What's the difference? You know, who cares? Yeah, you had a good time, and know nothing, you know, but you missed it. You missed the cataclysmic eruption of this Age of Aquarius, of Nirvana busting through within yourself, of opening that flower within yourself, and allowing it to bloom. That's success, but it takes you the need to discipline. Look at Matthew 27, page 806, verse 28, and they slipped him and put on him a scarlet robe. Okay, important to being naked is to remove all the coverings of that which are the points of your life. Those things which you cling to have to be stripped away.

those things. It can be your children and their attitudes. It can be your family and their attitudes. I have had to have stripped away from me, Jose, how to have stripped in relationships with our own families because they can't deal with this. So then we had to take them off because omission is too great and nothing can stop it. And to think of what it is in it, and it can be something that deprives you of your meditation, whatever it is. It has to be stripped away. You have to be naked. To be naked is to remove all worldly coverings, everything that there can be, nothing that stands between you and that which is the god power, absolutely nothing. Nothing can touch you or else the separation cannot take place. That's the Virgin consciousness. That's to be stripped away. To be remembered in the Adam and Eve story, they were naked. It means they did not have anything covering them. They had nothing touching them that was the world. They had nothing touching them that was tradition. They had nothing touching them that was doctrine. They had nothing touching them.

that was important. The things that are important to you that didn't touch them. They were totally pure, dwelling in that hemisphere of Nirvana, and they were untouched by anything. But what happened when they abandoned the right side, went to the left side? What's the first thing they went to do? They had to get something to cover themselves. So they took those things of the earth to cover them. They took those things of the earth to protect them. And we've done that all of our lives. We've tried to be protective, but the things of the earth, but things of religion, by the things of government. Right now, you got politicians all over the place. You hear - come on radio, Charlie so-and-so has fought for lower taxes. Well, Phil, someone so has done all of these, and they're just yelling at one another and screaming at one another. Don't vote for him because he's no good. Vote for him, and it's all chaos, all absolutely loony. Because you see the destruction, the same people that destroyed everything want another chance.

to try to straighten out what they screwed up in the first and so what do we do we cling to these clothes that are bringing us to this point of death and so when you stripped Jesus Christ when you stripped Jesus you're taking away everything that causes that part of you to be touched by the outside Matthew 27 28 this is a beautiful part and they put on a scarlet robe you have to go into mysticism into your Gaskell's book and all of that stuff and look up the colors garlic okay the color scarlet and mysticism means divine life see divine they strip away don't you for God's sakes do you understand what you what you just what you just saw it's meditation you strip away you take away the thoughts that are on the outside and you put upon yourself those thoughts which are divine they strip the closed things that touch you from the outside are no longer near you they are no longer touching you all that touches you now is that which is the kingship that

which is the divine. So, in removing those worldly coverings or removing the coverings of the thoughts of the outside, we only surround ourselves with the divine thoughts, which are high above in the higher divine levels of consciousness. The divine spirit is described. I mean, let me show you something on page 566 in the book of Proverbs. Proverbs, you see, the point is if you're going to look at the Bible, then there would have to be a reason that all of this happened. Do you understand? There would have to be a reason that they put a scarlet robe on. What's the reason? There would have to be a reason that they did all of the things that you did. Everything in there has to have a mystical reason, or else it can't be in the Bible. Then it could be in a history book. Can you let us find a word of this in any history book? It doesn't know of anything. Senator Bob Dobbs, chapter 31, page 566. Look at this. This is mysticism. She, meaning the Spirit, is

not afraid of the snow for her household. For all her household are clothed with scarlet. Can you, can you, can you, can you break that code? She, that which is the inner spirit, okay, is not afraid of the what? Snow. What is snow? Snow is water, which is truth, but it is bound by that which is the cold and unrelenting of the outside. But she will not worry about that. She will not listen to what is pretended is the truth, which comes from the cold outside, because her household, your inner spirit, is covered with scarlet, which is the divine realm of Nirvana, God. You see, see what says, okay? I don't know whether you see. I don't know whether you're over here. Doesn't make any difference whether you hear, because if you're not here, then I'm here, and I heard a guy citing his elderly, you know, what's this, so here then. What has happened? He is stripped, meaning you are no longer touching the outside, and now he is covered with scarlet, meaning he is preparing for this great time of oneness.

with that which is with it. It has nothing to do with scarlet codes. It has nothing to do with taking your clothes off. It has nothing. It has to do with the fact that when you fulfill yourself by entering within and separating from the outside, you are then covered with divine things of what you called God. Listen mate, let's go back to page 806, look at Matthew 27, and look at verse 29. Matthew 27 and verse 29. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head and a reed in his which hand. Very important that it's in his right hand, okay? I read in his right hand. They bowed and before him and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews. This is the most difficult time, okay? Because that which is so precious to you, that would you come in here and when the lights go down, you enter into that deep, rich, mystical personal experience of life with God, is a subject of mockery to the outside. It's a joke, you know, in fact

its cover. It's a cult. You're some kind of Eastern, you know, comfort ISM. It's like Ouija boards and all of this kind of stuff, you know. Stay away from this. It's a joke for warning, you know. So, so they think this is part of the thing that you go through, this symbol of authority. Then, of the scepter, is placed in the right hand, which is power and wisdom, which comes from the right hemisphere of the brain, right fee. And they don't even realize it. Nobody understands it. But it says in the Bible that even in its point of swinging out against it, that acknowledgment of the right side is there. And the crown of thorns is what? Is it a mockery about? It's a mockery of that which is called in Kabbalah of the crown, the higher consciousness. In the Kabbalah, the higher consciousness is called the crown. And so they put this, but it's to sting the flesh.

it's not understood the inner workings of us, that the beauty of it is not understood. So the system mocks the higher, they mocked the right side, and it's a painful part of the crucifixion of the flesh for you, me, because my whole life, and you know, eyes watching those people up there, there's so many thousands of people. You get off a bus to New York and people going, and I wondered if everybody knew this, and everybody just knew this. If everybody in the world only understood this, what a difference a family. Many in the world understood this, the heaven that religion says is waiting for you, it would be here. Anybody, because your whole life would be given to a oneness. Everybody's life would be given to a oneness, and all of that which is evil would be going away because the consciousness of people would be fed from the right side. Even they, somebody was telling me, I guess it was Debbie, that they saw a television show out of the world with which television programmer was on, but 24 whales or

dolphins or something had beached themselves, and the scientists said that was obviously an attempt to commit suicide. You can't even... we can't even look... we can't even understand why. You know, we were a great adventure, see? And they were saying, you know, these dolphins are not fish; they're another type of whatever you call it, the animal, amphibian, or whatever, mammal. But they have a tremendous intelligence, and they're communicating with you, and they're telling us, This is no good. This is wrong. You're crucifying... you're destroying mother. You are blaspheming this life. And we are demonstrating this. Jesus Christ could give his life, and everybody could say at home, What a miraculous, wonderful thing. These magnificent creatures are giving their lives constantly to wake us up. No, oh, what the heck is going... nobody good. We don't understand because we've never gotten close enough. We're so deeply ingrained in books. We're so deeply ingrained in the physical, in the

material. We've never gotten close to the life, to the animal life where the true essence of God dwells. And so here in the midst of all this, we've read about it, we watch it on television. We never stopped and say why. What comment is being made by nature when all of these magnificent some things that can communicate with man are communicating by saying we are committing suicide. Get your attention. We are sacrificing ourselves. Well, one of the reason, what possible cause. And so here in Matthew 27:29, I say hail King of the Jews because they don't understand. What did Jesus say? Well, they say hail King of the Jews. What did he say? My kingdom is not of this world. Understand it. And what do his followers seek to this day? Him coming back, setting up a kingdom here. And he was very clear. My kingdom is not of this world. The whole foundation of the religion called Christianity is based on a contrary opinion over what he said. They say he's coming back to set up a kingdom. He said My Kingdom is not of

this world. The kingdom of God is within you. And so here they say, Hail King of the Jews. They say, Is that true? Who passes that? Is that true? That's what you say. That's what you say 'cause you don't understand. You don't understand. And says, They ain't looking. Look, but they don't say. They listen unless the... but they don't hear. What's he talking about? Go to page 920, Romans chapter 2, page 920. See what the Apostle Paul says. Incidentally, for those of you who are gonna be around tonight, last week we did the Sodom and Gomorrah, and we got to the front door, and this week we'll go inside, and all the good stuff happens. If you want to talk about an x-rated Bible story early, oh yeah. Romans chapter 2, verse 28. Okay, for he is not a Jew which is one outwardly. Verse 29. But he is a Jew which is one inwardly. Therefore, when they said, Hail Jesus, King of the Jews, they didn't know what is he.

one does he want to be king of that for what King of the Jews is each one of us as we care about the east side for the right hemisphere of the tribe of Judah and be one within King of the Jews but I want you to see I want you to see that I want you know it's very important this is very important for each one of us to understand because you know most of you have before you wandered into this place where you know involved in one form of Christianity of their Catholic or Methodist or Baptist or Pentecostal or independent or something like that and your whole experience was based on the second coming of Jesus Christ to set up his kingdom here on this earth where he would live and range the thousand years and we would always with him you know but I want you to come out of that and you're listening to me that well this guy with that I want I want I want you to see something go to page 884 with me okay and the book of John and I mean I

had and I will challenge any other pastor, any preacher, and the evangelists who would like. I will simply go by what it says in the Bible and say, Hey, tell me this, just you tell me your the foundation of your religion is his second coming and setting up a kingdom on earth. And what does he say, page 884, John chapter 18, verse 36: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight that I shouldn't be delivered to these Jews. But now is my kingdom not from it. So, what do you do with that? How did you hire use people sitting here? How did you allow all these people to hold you under the grip of an expected second coming of Jesus setting up his kingdom? For what reason? What purpose did they do that? And why did you let them do this? Because there's nobody tellin ya. There was nobody to challenge it. There was nobody who would dare say anything against it. Well, I dare say something again. They didn't have to dare to say

something against it 'cause it wasn't true because it went against the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. The same Lord Jesus Christ who said, Hey, you're the light of the world. You could do better than me. That's what he said. You can do better than him. The same Jesus Christ who in John 16 said, Listen to me, don't pray to me, don't pray right to the Father, don't pray to me. The same Jesus Christ said, I'm not praying for you. The same Jesus Christ said, What do you call me good? There's no pretty good but the Father. And the Father is within you. The same Jesus Christ just said, The kingdom is within you. The same Jesus Christ who said to you that the key to your life is seeking within yourself. The same Jesus Christ who said that the key to your experience with God is practicing the single I. The same Jesus Christ has said that the power comes when you throw your net to the right side. The same Jesus Christ who everything that he has taught in the Bible, and I'll sit with anybody.

in the world, everything that he is taught in the Bible is called by the people who call themselves Christians and born-again evil. And accounts that same Jesus Christ said in Luke 6:46, Why do you people call me Lord and not do what I tell you to? Hmm, it's in the book, as I say. How do I know the Bible tells me something and it tells you something? All you got to do is open it, and it's in the book. In the book, king of the Jews, look at by the world, page 806, Matthew 27, verse 30. And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head. And spit as a sign of contempt. Then the sign of contempt from the outside is a sign of contempt against the inner Christ, that inner Christ which is within you. They took the reed, and they don't understand the symbol of authority. Don't you see? They took the reed, which is the symbol of authority, which was in his right hand. They took that power, and they

smacked him on the head with it. Don't you know what's being said there? They misuse God's authority to bring burdens and bondage and infliction upon God's people. How do they do it? The things that he said to do, they call evil. If they called him a cult, they strike out against him using the things that symbolize the power to hold you into the bondage of their way. Sakes, you've gone through it. Somebody said to me the other couple of weeks ago that somebody had their neck in a collar under the evangelist's came to the house and fixed the neck countoff and touched him by the head, and his neck was healed. Take the same guy to the muscular dystrophy ward, and the first one that gets out of the wheelchair, I will bow to this guy. Take him too long ago, Serban oviya bossa nova, and the first one, whether God comes down to feed these little children, I'll buy to this guy. We're so, so stupid to fall for that stuff because the Apostle Paul is a

flesh and blood and have no part of the kingdom of God. People sitting in wheelchairs who can't move one arm, can't move one leg, can't movement, are filled to the brim with that which is the knowledge of the Holy Place. They are 100 percent physically fit people that are athletes, are consumed with drugs and all kinds of other crap, and they are sick. They convey people who are stone physically and have to have a German Shepherd dog walk with them, can see into the realms of Nirvana, see with 20/20 vision of the single eye. People who have two eyes and have 20/20 visible can't see ten seconds in front of their face. They're totally locked into blindness. Physical has nothing to do it 'cause I got news for you. You know how to start to get gray and everything and things start hanging in here like at all. You know something else, spots come on your head. What are brown spots on your knee? Hey, nobody can the guy come and peel the

brown spots. Oh, so other cars made. Then it starts to clunk and you're losing your blow. A tire and your fender starts to get a little rusted. You know what I'm saying in this. The cylinders don't hit all the time. We an inertial and great adventure thinkin we'll get a pass for the whole season next. And you know the nurse says I wonder if they have a senior citizens pistol. That's one you know it's going downhill. I don't want to hear about that. I'll pay the full price see don't worry about somebody getting healers again here without no real healing that takes places with it. That's why so many people in nursing homes get institutionalized and become vegetative vegetables. You know why? Because they're hanging on to the physical which is collapsing. They don't know the center to hang on to the center. You can sit wherever you sit and as the outside deteriorates the younger side side gets stronger and younger and younger and younger because it comes

alive with Nirvana, and the old goes away, and that young inside flies like a dove out of that body and finds a new body to begin this beautiful career of sharing the truth of the gospel. The worst part of that is when they come with their evangelist, and they take the collar off, and the guy's neck doesn't. And the guy says, Oh, there can be no god, there's nothing to do with that, says Matthew 27:31. They mocked them, they took the robe, they put on his raiment, they led him away to crucify him. Because you have to, it's that, it's the lower flesh that has to be crucified. So now comes the sacrifice, the ultimate decision by you because you've read ORD, the ridicule you've gone through, all of these different things. The symbols of kingship are no longer symbols that have a meaning. You've got to acknowledge yourself, you've got to put aside all of the feelings and set about to do what must be done, and the crucifixion that comes

and takes place in here. Allow yourself to die with no preconceived hopes, and this is the time, and I'm not talking about the physical. And you know when I talk about an evangelist or something, you are the doctor. Healings, magnificent things happen to people through their inner prayer, through their inner communion, through their meditation. Jesus said it. I mean, do you believe him? For God's sakes, he said it. He said, Physician, heal yourself. What would happen if the guy didn't shove you, man? Just didn't show up. God would sell stuff. He's gonna have to have a bad neck. No, it's not the way it is. We enter within ourselves and do the prayers. Take a Cathy's little cat, Junior. They never know what's gonna happen, but Junior has a heart that skips and stops and starts it. Yeah, one doctor said he's got 30 days. He'll be dead in 30 days. You know Junior's part of the family's been in a long time, and so we went up to Junior, and we began to whisper in his ear.

nam-myoho-renge-kyo. But you know this is great because we did it when you start whispering something strange and mystic. Cat just goes, I'm going on. I'm sorry to ask the cat. Look, this is me. Do you know? So the cats go, Brah. Well now the latest thing is junior hit is 30 days and the doctor told her, I've had cats like this that have gone two years. I said, Keep saying nameö in his ear and all the doctors will be dead and junior will be sitting there more. Okay but what I'm saying is inner prayer, inner healing, God work on it, go after everything that doesn't feel like, speak to it in a new way. Yes, absolutely. Don't need some guy coming around. I'll never forget when Joan and I are at PPL, Jim Baker's opal is a magnificent place and we had, we came to like this, you'll go. She had muscular dystrophy. Charlie died on a black girl, sweet. We used to go in and feed her and she couldn't, yeah, yeah.

and she couldn't feed herself, so we would take her in the cafeteria, not feeding her, and I'm taking little meatballs. I'm saying, Open up, Charlie. I'm cool. You know, we had it. We really had a lot of fun. We really did. One time I was a carrier, and I dropped her out on the lawn, and we're all right alone, and she said, Yeah, really, shop. Yeah, but we took her down to the healing line. The Evangelist was there, and everybody that had a, you know, stiff neck or say, Oh, talking in tongues. I know communities go, Well, I had to go up to my saying, 'Wait a minute, this goes, wait for your daddy.' Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I gotta believe in Jesus' name. But she did. She believed. I mean, she was well. The point is, why he wouldn't go in there? What is it, off-limits? You know, 'cause it, Mike, you couldn't get a quick fix. I'd, it couldn't convince somebody that something had happened, but inside of you is that cosmic power which is exploding.

So, what do we learn today? I love the Jesus within you. To go to the cross of meditation, strip away all of that which touches you from the outside. Place upon yourself the scarlet robe of divine kingship. Within your right hand, take that symbol of authority. But I'm place the crown of thorns, even when they do upon you, in mock that which is the symbol of your kingship. Allow yourself to say nothing but move closer and closer into the Divinyls. That's what Jesus did. That's what Jesus means different because Jesus is not something that happened to affable. Jesus is a person within you who goes to the cross within you and carries you in his loving arms. Up only wrong Nevada. Thank you very much for spending that time with Jesus Christ. Joel beyond she'll tell you.
