The Inner Kingdom: Understanding Jesus' True Teachings

Jesus Christ taught that the kingdom is within, and the key to finding it lies in entering oneself.

### The True Teachings of Jesus: Discovering the Inner Kingdom
* 📖 "What I like to do is study some of the teachings of Jesus Christ and focus basically on a **little-known fact**, and that is he is the one who **instructed us on the way**."
* ✨ Jesus, as presented in John 14, asserts that followers **already know the way**, highlighting the importance of **understanding his teachings** as they are often **contrary to mainstream religious views**.
* 🔍 The speaker emphasizes that Jesus’ true name was **Jeshua**, not Jesus, arguing that the adoption of a Greek name reflects a broader **anti-Semitic trend in Christianity**.
* 🚪 Jesus teaches that the path to the kingdom is **narrow and often overlooked**, with references to the importance of **self-discovery and meditation** as means to access the **divine within**.
* 🗝 The key to understanding Jesus' teachings lies in **entering oneself**, as he states that "**the kingdom is in you**," and this inner journey is crucial for **true enlightenment**.
* 💡 The speaker argues that traditional Christianity has misrepresented Jesus' teachings, focusing instead on **external rituals and doctrines** rather than the **personal, internal experience** Jesus advocated.
* 📜 The promise made by Jesus is that those who believe in him and follow his teachings will **do greater works than he did**, emphasizing **individual empowerment** rather than reliance on institutionalized religion.
* 🌟 Ultimately, the message is clear: the institution that claims to represent Jesus often **strays from his teachings**, and true understanding comes from within, through **personal exploration and adherence to his original instructions**.

All I'm offering is the truth, nothing more. What I like to do is, um, study some of the teachings of Jesus Christ and focus basically on a little-known fact, and that is he is the one who instructed us on the way. You know, I really am not interested in what Mr. Fwell has to say or what Mr. Oral has to say. I'm not interested in those people. I am interested, and I'm trying to get you interested, in what Jesus Christ has to say, because what Jesus Christ has to say is diametrically opposed to what they have to say. But in this particular case, Jesus is talking to us in John chapter 14 on page 880 in those little Bibles, in John chapter 14. And Jesus is talking about the way, and he says in John 14:4, And where I go, you know, and the way you know. Now, I would ask those who claim to be followers of the Lord, born again. He says that you know the way. Do you know the way? He says you know the way. He didn't

say you should know the way. He said you know the way he taught the way, and this is the difference. Jesus then, since he taught the way, would think that some people would have caught on to the way, and that's what he's, this is the point he's making here. You know the way because you've been hanging around me. You know the way because you've listened to me, and you who have claimed, have studied the Bible, should know the way because they got Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and he talks about the way throughout the entire Bible. So, what does he say is the way? First of all, go to payt. Now, we're going to run through some of the things that you've seen before, but once again, it's important that you do document everything you know, and I'll repeat because it's a new crowd on the television. Sylvia came to me last week, and she said that somebody got upset with me because I said Jesus' name was not Jesus, and the woman said, What right

does he have to say that that's a horrible thing to say. So I gave ly syia a page from a Christian dictionary, The Illustrated Christian Bible dictionary, and it says in there his name was not Jesus, his name was Jesua. That Jesus is a Greek name. Well, this, you know, this fractures entirely the foundation of a religion that prays in Jesus' name because they made up the name out of Greek mythology. That's where it came from. I say, well, somebody said, well, you know, doesn't make any difference because, you know, in the spirit we know it's the same person. But I say, wait a minute, wonder if the Creator gave him the name Jeshua and the name Jeshua was some kind of a magic name and every time you said Jeshua something beautiful happened and you changed it and he gave him a Greek name and the reason he gave him a Greek name, it's because you couldn't deal with his Jewishness. Come on, because the Christian church was founded on

anti-Semitism. That's why you're celebrating in a few weeks bunnies and eggs and jelly beans, because you couldn't deal with Passover, so they made it up. So you have the Babylonian day of sexual fantasy, prostitution, orgasms, all of that stuff. Yeah, they should have Sint orgasms, because that's what it is. It is Easter. It is a day of pornographic sex, and that's our holy day. We're going to celebrate a few days. Is this great? Because why can't deal with Passover? Why not, Val? It's Jewish. Can't have anything Jewish. So they take the whole thing, and then you have a religious minister who takes, changes the guy's name from a Jew, Jesua, to a Greek, Jesus. Takes Passover out and replaces it with Easter Bunny and jelly beans, and then quotes the Book of Leviticus. Is this a hypocrite? Come on. So Jesus says, What is the way? Go to page 782. We'll do our Bible trip real

quick Matthew chapter 7 and verse 14. Matthew 7:14. What's the first thing Jesus says? The straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, and few there are who find it. How true that is, because when you have found it, you're not considered a Christian; you are considered a cult. Same. That's what happened. Now, the way to what? The way to the kingdom. Okay, the way to the kingdom. This is what we want to find. Okay, real quick, page 853. And I know that a lot of you have done this time and time again, but still, it's important to see it. That's what we're doing. We're exercising through the Bible and through Jesus Christ's teaching, which are so important for our lives. He says in Luke 17, chapter verse 21, The kingdom is in you. But narrow is the way. Few there are who find out that the kingdom is inside of themselves. I'm not quoting a religious teacher or an evangelist. I'm quoting Jesus Christ, or Jeshua. You know, how can you change it? I

mean a fraud. Do you know what me a lie becomes the truth, Albert? If it's perpetuated long enough, we all call him Jesus, and his name wasn't. His name could have been Phil, and we'd still be calling him Jesus 'cause we can't deal with breaking from tradition. We never call by his right name. Here's a guy who probably did more to help people in peace and love than any man that ever set foot on the face of the ground, and we wouldn't even call him by his right name. What you going to do with that now? The narrow way is in yourself where you find the kingdom. Now what does he say? He gives us instructions page 847 Luke 11. Okay 847 Luke chapter 11 verse 52. He's talking to the lawyers who are the Bible scholars of the day. You take away the key of knowledge because you don't enter within yourself. There's the key entering in. That's the key. You've got to enter in yourself. That's the key. So he says the way is narrow, the kingdom is in you, and

the key is entering in yourself. That's the key that opens the door. And I'll tell you something, if you use the key, there's every born-again Christian ready to tell you you're a Satanist, you're an occultist, you're going to open up your mind to devils because you obey the Lord Jesus Christ. You may not honk when a car goes by when you see a bumper sticker, but you do what he says, and that labels you as an occultist. He says the key is entering in. Narrow is the way that few find, which is the Kingdom, which is within you. Now, what are we looking for? Go to page 880, John chapter 14, page 880, John chapter 14. I repeat this. I have said this over again. This is the statement by Jesus Christ. That is why we do what we do. We do what we do because he said it, and this is the reason. John 14:20. At that day you shall know I am in my Father, you in me, and I in you. That's the way

Christ in you. Okay, I'm quoting Jesus Christ. So, what do you do? He is the light of the world. What do you do? How do you become filled with this light? Here's a good one for the religious craft. They love this one, page 781. I had a guy in New York. There's a fellow from New York named Scott Kilgore from Scotland, and he's studying the mysticism of the Celts, the Celtic race. I thought it was interesting stuff, but he was telling me. He said he wants to get one of the Bibles we had because he got a Bible, and somebody gave him a new revised American Southeast Philadelphia Edition, and it said, you know, If you look on nice things, everything will be okay. They changed. They took the mysticism out of it. What does Jesus say? Jesus knows exactly what he's talking about, and the Bible knows exactly what it's talking about when it says in Matthew chapter 6, which is on page 800. What did I say? 781. Matthew chapter 6, verse

22. The light of the body is the eye. If your eye be single, your whole body shall fill with light. Jesus Christ is saying you should practice the single eye. People get mad at us. Tell me something: Is it in the Bible? Yes, it is. Did Jesus say it? Yes, he did. And everybody that's in the East knows what the single eye is. It is the mystical point between the brows, between the eyebrows, the location of the pineal gland of the brain. He says activate it, and you'll fill with light. Okay, what do you do if you do that? You go into meditation. Things happen, right? You're at Matthew 6, chapter 22. Look at Matthew 6, chapter 25. Take no thought. Matthew 20, 27. Why add thought? 627, 28. Why take thought? So forth. Take no thought. Okay, so here is the way you practice the single. You take no thought. You understand that Jesus the Christ dwells in you. The key is entering in yourself. The way is very narrow. Few of your friends are going to find it.

they're probably going to make fun of you, but the kingdom of God is within you, and the key is entering in, practicing the single eye, and you'll find it. That's the way. I challenge anybody to show me in the world that Jesus Christ taught a different way. That's the way, and he did. And so, it became very interesting then if we go back to where we began this discussion. Doesn't it go back to page 880? Go back to the Book of John and look what it said here in John chapter 14. One of the disciples who is with Jesus Christ says, We don't know where you're going. How can we know the way? And that's exactly what the Christians of today would have to say. We don't know. We don't know the way because they've been told by their leaders that this way is evil. So now comes the famous line, the famous line that they quote when they don't quote these about the single eye on entering in yourself, but this comes the famous line which is in the next line which is pure Hinduism.

okay John 14 verse 6, and Jesus answers, Where am where where the heck I'm like John chapter 14:6. I'm sorry. I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. This is Hinduism, which you've all learned in the Bhagavad Gita. Two words, I am and me, represent that which is the Christ who dwells within the center. Hindu Buddha, Krishna taught it. Jesus Christ taught. How do I know that Jesus Christ? Now you could sit here saying, Oh no, no, no, Jesus was saying Jesus is the way, wasn't meaning the I am is the way, that which is me, the center part of the mind is the way he meant. Jesus is the way. Here's how I can prove that he wasn't talking about himself. Are you ready? Go with me, go with me, page 869, John chapter 9. Excuse me, John chapter 5. Look at verse 30. What does Jesus say? I can of my own self do nothing. So how could he be the way of he

can't do anything. The man's telling you Jesus is telling you. Jesus is speaking. He says the way is I am the way, is me, the inner way, the conscious way, the single eye way, the take no thought way, the narrow way. It is not a man because he says I can't do anything, and he says the same thing that Krishna said. I am is the way, me is the way. Krishna would talk to you in the B, worship me, honor me, recognize me, know me, pray to me. He's talking about yourself because Krishna said in the last time we talk about the B of me, me, me, me, me, which is thine own self. That's what Jesus was talking about. We're talking this morning. It's very interesting. At the age of 12, Jesus was teaching in the temple, Jewishness. He disappears, comes back 20 years later, and he's talking Buddha. Where did he go? There's a temple in Nepal, in India, that records the visitation of a man from Jerusalem named Isus. They say he studied, went from

Nepal to Tibet and then went back to his homeland and was killed because of his beliefs. And he joined forces with another strange dude called John the Baptist, whose name wasn't John, and who practiced Buddhism. That's exactly what he did. There are some other books that the church did not allow in the Bible. This is a fragment of the books that were allowed, and I'll tell you quite frankly, the books that you have in the Bible were decreed by the Catholic Church. They put them in, they decided which books that were going to be in there, and when Martin Luther came around, he pulled some of them out. I don't like this one, oh not this a, that's how you got your Bible, the word of God. Yeah, it was a bloodbath as to how it was put together. But anyhow, there are other books. There's a book called, there's one of the books, and one of these other books were written by the same people, Thomas and John and all the, there's a book called the dialogue of

the Savior, which is one of the Apocrypha books. And then the question that you just saw. We don't know the way. The question is, where shall we go? What is the way? And Jesus answers, The place which you can reach, stand there. The place which you can reach, stand there. In the Gospel of Thomas, it says, Where shall we go? What is the way? And Jesus answers, There is a light within a man of light, and it lights up the whole world. And if it doesn't shine, he is in darkness. In these two books, there is no instruction to look to any other source but to direct you to the same, to that was the inner capacity, that which is within yourself. And the comment concerning The Light Within seems to be consistent with Jesus in Matthew 6:22, who says, If you practice the single eye, your body will fill with light. A few weeks, we get back from vacation. I'm going to be talking about what happens after a person dies. I, you know, I know I wasn't there, but you know, we'll use some conjecture, but we

we'll we'll we'll dip in on some of the thoughts of the ancient Mystics, and it's very interesting, and it talks about light and so forth and so on. There were many within the Catholic Church who couldn't deal with the fundamental aspects of religion, and they actually came against the church for a period of time. And then, rather than fight this large group, the church made a place for them within the power structure, and they were called monks. And they were living in a monastic order, which comes from the Greek word monachus, which means solitary or single ones. And these people were allowed to pretty much do what they wanted to do, and they practiced the mysticism that we practice here for the most part, but they still submitted to the authority. So, it was a compromise. They didn't beat up on the church; the church didn't beat up on them. Said, You can go ahead and do your thing, but we want you to, you know, be under the church. And so, okay. In the year 367, there came an

order from a guy named Anius, the Archbishop of Alexandria, to purge all Apocrypha books with heretical tendencies. In other words, anything that disagreed had to be burned. Do you understand? This is what I can't get through if I talk about like born-again Christian people. Do you understand that you haven't been allowed to see things because of the tyrants of the ancient churches in the middle? You haven't been allowed to see the truth. That is all you're able to see, and they say this is the unquestioned word. You haven't. You have no idea how this book is put together, and you are actually stopped because in the ancient times what they did, they burned and destroyed anything that disagreed with the way they wanted you to believe. Many monks, however, hid documents, and many of them have been found, and the documents that were found in many of these monasteries were referred to as Nag Hammadi.

interesting point of nadii is that for the most part it is in opposition to the traditional church and the thoughts of the traditional church. But of course, most of them were similarly destroyed because the church said there has to be a way that people can approach God. They cannot possibly approach them on their own. They need the church, and the church feels that way to this day. And that is absolutely 100% contrary to what Jesus Christ taught. Jesus Christ taught the kingdom of God is within you. You are the light of the world. There was a fellow who actually had been a disciple of Plato, but he found that the human mind could not find God within itself. Needed the scriptures in the church and recorded this as such and moved away from the teachings of Plato and moved into the church where everybody then, you know, marched together and became a group and a tribe and so forth and so on. But there is an ironic... Do you remember the character Phillip the Englishman running around in the Bible? Hello, Philip. Tip, I don't know.

how he got there, but there was he wrote a Bible too. It's not in your book, but he said this. Listen to what Philip says in the Gospel of Philip. You ought to get this one. You ought to go and buy these, the Gospel of Philip. This is what he said, Albert. Listen to this. God created humanity, but now humanity has created God. It's the way it is. Humanity makes God, and so it would be appropriate for God to worship people because if it wasn't for people, he wouldn't exist because we made him up. You have never found, you cannot find Thomas one writing from God, nowhere. And if this is inspired by God, that women must be hitting ahead with a rock if they're not virgins, then we're in big trouble. Or if the God's chosen people sleep with their daughters. You know, this is the kind of stuff. Everything that you've ever heard about God is from somebody else who heard it from somebody else or who read it in a book that was interpreted.

way their group interprets things. Nobody has ever heard direct. The only possible way that you can hear directly from God is as Jesus taught in here. Then you'll hear from God. Otherwise, you're hearing from somebody who thinks that this is the way. The great teacher of the Gnostics, Valentinus, thought taught that Humanity itself manifests the Divine Life and the divine revelation, which I agree with him. That the Divine Life and divine revelation comes within each one of us, which certainly seems to square with what Jesus says because Jesus Christ said, remember we read a little earlier ago, Luke 11:52, You take away the key because you don't enter within yourself. He didn't say you take away the key because you don't go to church. He didn't say you take away the key before you because you don't read the Bible. He didn't say you take away the key because you're not born again because the only person he said had to be born again was a religious person. Jesus never taught his disciples they had to be born again. It was foreign to

him. He was looking at a religious person who had Bibles under his arm and all of his religious stuff, and he says, What must I do? He says, Get rid of it. You forget about it. You're going to have to start all over again. To be born again is a contrary to every ancient religion that has ever existed. In fact, if you read the Bhagavad Gita, it will say once these people finally are enlightened, they won't have to go through the process again. And it says in the Book of Revelation that once you become enlightened and once you become aware, you shall go no more out. So to be born again is negative, and Jesus Christ was not talking about a spiritual rebirth because when he was talking to Nicodemus, he said, If I've told you about earthly things and you don't understand, how in God's name you're going to understand when I talk to you about spiritual things? That's what he said. If it wasn't in there, if it was in there, then we have

to talk about it. If it's not in there, we have no right to talk about it. But that's what he said. Now this also I want you to talk to it about Jesus Christ. This is the challenge that Jesus said. I showed you the way, meditation, the single eye, take no thought, okay, entering in yourself, that's the way. And Jesus Christ said, Do you believe? You know what this is the amazing, the one group of people that don't believe him, other group that says they're Christian, well believe that they won't do it. And he says, That's the way. But look at the promise that he gave to you. Watch, go to page 880, look at John CH 14, look at the promise that This Man Called Jesus Christ gave to you. I'm saying to you, He that believes on me, in other words, does what he says, the works that I do shall he do, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father. In other words, he's saying, You know what, you think I'm hot stuff, you

think I'm Jesus. Jesus, Son of the Living God. You know what he says? You'll do better than me. You'll do better than me, Renee. Hell, Renee. God is great, but Renee is greater. That's what he said. But we can't deal with that. You know why we can't deal with it? We need a hero. We have to have a hero, Albert. And once we have a hero, then we are relegated to the dirt. We have to look up to somebody. He's the one we've got to follow. But he says, Hey, get off, get up your feet. You can do better than me. And he says, Because I go to the Father. You know, Because if I hang around here, you're going to be watching me. I want you watching yourself. Take a look at your life. If your life has been what you have expected, fine, follow it. But if it's been a disappointment, then stop following churches and start following Jesus Christ. And the only way you follow Jesus Christ is when you enter within yourself. Wisdom is known by her children.

if your life has been screwed up, you screwed it up by following them, but you can follow him right smack into the center of your Consciousness. Oh, you know you like to go. We, you go see the churches. They're big, and they got gongs in them, and they got colored windows in them, and they got all stuff. It's pretty. It's nice. I, I, you know, architecture is nice. What did Jesus think of it? What did he think about it? Can you see? Just, just, just listen. Try to focus in. Hear the, hear the, hear the Sheep. Hear the dust and the dirt as people are walking and talking in the strange Arabic sh all over the place, back and forth. And the disciples say, Wow, look at the temple. Look at the temple. And you know this is the thing. They're going to have a new Temple, huh? They're going to rebuild the Temple. Of course, they're going to have to blow the Muslim temple out so they build a new Temple. But this is, oh, this is wonderful, Jesus. Look at how nice.

these are go to page 81 and look what he said page 8001 and look what he said Matthew chap 2 4 and this is what Jesus Christ says about these beautiful temples verse one the disciples came to show him the buildings of the temple and Jesus Christ say see you not all of these things don't be looking at this stuff in other words you know what that says you know the question mark in the end of that you know what he's saying what the heck are you looking at these for what are you paying attention to church for what are you paying attention to religion for what are you paying attention to all these Crystal Cathedrals for because what does he say there's not going to be one stone left upon another that shall not be thrown down that's the guy I'm following because we follow the one who lives in the temple that is not built with human hands so people like the gnostics literally threw down the stones these churches were a hindrance as they are today they're a hindrance to

you finding this way Jesus taught you the way they say don't go that way the same way that you've had to unload the teachings of others that this is a very scriptural thing let me ask you something how much faith will you put into this how much do you need oh you know we got new age people that come in here too they're buzzing off you know they got smoke and rocks and feathers and all of this stuff and but but what's the difference you got smoke and rocks and feathers you got people throwing water on you in the other side or putting a hand in the what's the difference Look what Jesus Christ said you subject yourself to the teachings even to me you subject yourself to the teachings of religious people they turn on the television and they find themselves but what does it say go to page 996 page 996 the rest of you go to First John it's the men's room on the first floor first John chapter 2 okay what does it say read it 1 John 2: 27 listen very

carefully to what it says: the anointing which you have received of him abides in you. That means it lives in you. You need not, you need not, you need not that any man teach you, but as that same anointing teaches you all things, it's the truth, it's not a lie. And even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. You don't need anybody to teach you because all they are teaching you is what they've heard from somebody else, or all they are teaching you is what their group has formed as its doctrine. They're not teaching you truth because the only one that will ever teach you truth is the spirit that dwells inside of you. And the only way you'll ever touch that spirit that dwells inside of you is in meditation. There is no other way, there is no other way. And that pretty much confirms, here's the book saying you need no man to teach you, and Jesus Christ about 20 minutes ago told you you take away the

key because you don't enter within yourself. That's where your instruction should come from. Look, go to page 866. We're almost done, down to the last precious few here. Page 866, and I want you to look at the Book of John in John chapter 3, okay? And it's a very important scripture, and you see it. They hold it up behind the plate at the baseball games. I think I don't know, say these guys every time they the pcture and I stick this thing up in here. Oh gee, can you imagine Jesus? I'm how he feel wherever he is. Oh, there he don't turn the ball game on. He's in heaven with his TV. Don't turn the game on. They going to put the sign up there a little screw ball down. All right, John chapter 3. Look at verse 17, okay? For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved, okay? But what is it? He that believes in Him is not condemned, but he

that believes not is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. hasn't believed in it. And what is that name? It's not Jesus. We found that out. It doesn't mean name when you use the word name in mystical applications of the Ancient East. It means you don't believe the way he instructed. And the one guilty group for that is Christianity. They don't believe the way he s, which is the inner Kingdom, the kingdom in the mind. And this is the condemnation, verse 19. The Light Came into the world, and Men love Darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. So it what are you going to do? Look what it is. God sent not his son to the will to condemn it, but that the world might be saved through him. Well, Jesus Christ said, I can't do anything. He say, hey Jesus, you know, throw palm trees at him and all the stuff. Hey, come on, get in here and save everybody. He gets out of the cab and says, ain't none of me. I I can't do

anything you know what do I do. I can't do anything. Nothing I can do about it. That's the one. Are we talking about he that believes in him. He you hey you know this one. This what I was taught you come up you say put you everybody bow your head. Bow your head. Nobody looking around. No not not really not really. I'm telling you what they do in these places. You bow your head and you don't look around because you don't want to embarrass yourself. Here's the point where you're going to get saved for eternity but you don't want anybody to know because you don't want to get embarrassed. Okay stick up your hand. I see that hand. I see that hand. I see that hand. I see you know there was a gospel one time a gospel group and the guy said that the Lifeguard had to go to the bathroom and it was a preacher from a church. He didn't know he was a preacher but he said to the guy he said would you sit here for a minute and uh the preacher

says yeah I'll I'll sit here so uh h a Title Wave not you know like a wave come in and everybody started drowning and they're all W and the preacher got said I see that hand I God bless you I see that hand thank God for you I see that hand you know he was having them all but I was told that you'd come up this way and if you say this you're say you say the words Jesus is Lord Jesus of course in Luke 6:46 says why do you call me Lord and not do what I tell you to do but I want you to look at this scripture we've gone through the whole thing tonight of what Jesus said you must do in order to find the way the way to Salvation and look what it says page 979 you go to he the book of Hebrews Hebrews chapter 7 excuse me Hebrews chapter 5 and look what it says and being made perfect he became the author of Eternal salvation unto all of them that obey

him obey him. That means there is no salvation unless you obey him. And what did he say? Did he say you had to believe, believe in his death? He never said it, did he? Did he say you had to name him Lord? He never said it. He never said it, never. There's no quote in the Bible that Jesus Christ said you had to call him Lord. There's no quote in the Bible that said you had to believe. How could he go up to Nicodemus and say you got to believe I resurrected from the dead when he wasn't dead yet? Well, after you die. Wait till after you die, then I'll do it. Is this dumb? He tells Nicodemus you got to be born again. Religion says you get born again by believing Jesus is Lord and believing God raised him from the dead. He wasn't dead yet, and he told Nicodemus. And how could Nicodemus say you're the Lord when he just got done saying I can't do nothing? Are you the Lord? He said not me. I can't

do nothing. I believe you. God raised you from the dead. He - I didn't die yet. That happens next week. Wait, what are you going to do with this? Does anybody ever stop and say, What the heck is it talking about? Jesus Christ said, You got to do what I tell you to do, and you'll find the kingdom, the Kingdom within yourself. And here it says, He becomes the author of Salvation to all them that obey him, all them that obey him. The kingdom is within you. Seek first the kingdom, take no thought, enter the closet, and close the door. Do you know what we - when Jim Baker used to have his PTL down there, do you know what JN and I went - you know what we saw down there? There was a room, and you know what he had in there? 16 closets. I'm telling you the truth, 16 closets. And you'd open the door, and you'd go in the closet, and you'd pray, and you'd come out of the closet just as screwed up as you went into the CL 'cause what was you're bringing.

the same garbage into the closet you're taking out. They literally play the closet. Eastern mysticism means when you enter the closet and close the door, is you entering into the secret recesses of the mind, and you're shutting off the thoughts. That's what entering the closet and closing the door means. So, could you imagine this man who sacrificed his blood for these people? He's up in some place in a UFO looking, and here's a guy making 16 closets. Here's another closet. We have closets all over the place. I'm a closet maker. Why? Because I got to go make a closet. I got to go in the closet. They don't. You got to stop somewhere. Somebody has to stop and say, What does it mean? But you know the problem? You'll never find out what it means because you're prejudiced against the people who know what it means. You'll never dare ask a Buddhist or a Hindu, What did Jesus mean, 'enter the closet and close the door'? So, you make it up, and you build a closet, and you open, you go.

in because if you had asked the Buddhist or the Hindu what did he mean he will say ah wisdom very enlightened go mean enter in shut all thought and then you find Nana nobody ever asked them and so when you don't ask the the ones who know you build closets so the scripture says the light came into the world the world loves darkness and Jesus Christ says if your eye be single your body will fill with light so we found out the way didn't we and what did we find out the institution that claims him is the one that disobeys him and is therefore the institution that is lost well thank you very much and we'll see you around the [Music]

To Know Christ Is To Know Yourself - Bill Donahue

Timeless Knowledge

Jesus Christ emphasizes that his followers know the way to the kingdom, as he has taught it throughout the Bible.

The speaker highlights the significance of Jesus' name, stating that it was originally Jesua and that the Greek name change reflects a struggle with his Jewishness.

The narrowness of the way to the kingdom is emphasized, with Jesus stating that few find it, and he teaches that the kingdom is within each person.

The speaker discusses the misnaming of Jesus and the importance of breaking from tradition to find the true self.

They emphasize that the kingdom is within us and the key to accessing it is through self-reflection and meditation.

The practice of the single eye, as taught by Jesus, is highlighted as a way to fill oneself with light and find the narrow path to the kingdom.

The Teachings of Jesus and Their Connection to Inner Self

Jesus' statement "I am the way, the truth, and the life" is interpreted as referring to the inner self rather than just himself as a person.

The teachings of Jesus align with those of Hinduism and Buddhism, emphasizing the importance of the "I am" and "me" as the source of guidance.

The concept of the inner light and self-awareness is consistent across various spiritual teachings, including the Gospel of Thomas and Matthew.

The Role of Monks and the Struggle for Spiritual Truth

The Catholic Church faced opposition from those who couldn't accept its fundamental aspects, leading to the establishment of the monastic order.

Monks practiced mysticism while submitting to the church's authority, creating a compromise.

The church's efforts to purge heretical texts led to the hiding of documents by many monks, with the Nag Hammadi texts offering a different perspective on spirituality and the nature of God.

The speaker emphasizes that direct communication with God is rare, and true divine revelation comes from within each individual, aligning with Jesus' teachings.

The concept of being "born again" is challenged, as Jesus only mentioned it to a religious person, suggesting that enlightenment and awareness are the true paths to spiritual growth.

The speaker highlights Jesus' promise that those who believe in him and follow his teachings will do greater works, encouraging individuals to look within themselves for guidance and transformation.

The True Teachings of Jesus and Inner Consciousness

Jesus criticized the focus on grand temples and religious structures, emphasizing that true guidance comes from within.

He taught that the anointing received from him lives in each person, making external teachings unnecessary.

The only way to connect with this inner spirit is through meditation, highlighting the importance of self-discovery and inner truth.

The Message of Salvation in the Book of John

John 3:17 emphasizes that God sent His son not to condemn the world, but to save it through Him.

Belief in Jesus is crucial, as those who do not believe are already condemned.

The passage highlights the importance of following Jesus' instructions and emphasizes that true belief requires obedience.

The Misinterpretation of Jesus' Teachings

Jesus never explicitly stated that belief or calling him Lord was necessary for salvation.

He emphasized obedience to his teachings and seeking the kingdom within oneself.

The common practice of entering closets to pray is misinterpreted, and the true meaning of Jesus' teachings is often overlooked.
