work we haven't got enough done. What I'd 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, I, I really am not interested in what Mr. Falwell 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 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.

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 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 to 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 PT. Now we're going to run through some of the things that you've seen before.

But once again, it's important that you document everything you know. And I'll repeat, because it's a new crowd on the television. Lynn Sylvia came to me last week and she said that, uh, somebody got upset with me because I said Jesus' name was not Jesus.

And and the woman said, what right does he have to say that?

That's a horrible thing to say. So I gave Lynn Sylvia a page from a Christian dictionary.

The Illustrated Christian Bible Dictionary. And it says in there, his name was not Jesus. His name was Yeshua. That Jesus is a great 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.

I said, well, somebody said, well, you know, it doesn't make any difference because, you know, in spirit, we know it's the same person.

But well, I say, wait a minute, what if the Creator gave him the name Jehoshua and the name Yeshua was some kind of a magic name?

And every time you said Yeshua, something beautiful happened and you changed it. And he gave him a Greek name. And the reason he gave him a Greek name is because he couldn't deal with his Jewishness.

Come on, because the Christian church was founded on anti-Semitism.

That's why you celebrate in a few weeks bunnies and and eggs and and jelly beans because you couldn't deal with Passover.

They made it up. So you have the Babylonian day of sexual fantasy, prostitution, orgasms, all of that stuff.

Yeah, they should have Saint orgasms because that's what it is. It it is it is it is Easter. It is a it is a day of of pornographic sex and that's our holy day.

We're going to celebrate. Few, is this great? Because why can't deal with Passover? Why not? Because 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, Jeshua, to a Greek, Jesus.

Takes Passover out and replaces it with Easter bunnies 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 teachings, 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 a lie becomes the truth, Albert?

If it's perpetuated long enough. We all call him Jesus. Not his name, wasn't his name. Could have been Phil, and we'd still be calling him Jesus because we can't deal with breaking from tradition.

We'll never call him 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 won't even call him by his right name.

What are 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 11:52. 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 you 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 chapter 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, here's a good one for the religious crowd, they love this one.

Page 781. I had a guy talk to New York, there's a fellow from New York, name is Scott Kilgore.

He's 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 used because he got a Bible and somebody gave 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 6:22: "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, you'll fill with light.

Okay, well, what do you do? If you do that, you go into meditation. Things happen, right? You're at you're Matthew 6 chapter 22, look at Matthew 6 chapter 25, take no thought.

6:27, 28, why take thought, and so forth. Take no thought. Okay, so here is the way you practice the single eye: 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 becomes 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 and 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 am, John 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.

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." He wasn't meaning the I am is the way, that which is me, the center part of the 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.

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 if he can't do anything?

The man's tell 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 Bhagavad of, "Worship me, honor me, recognize me, know me, pray to me." He's talking about yourself, because Krishna said in the last time we talked about the Bhagavad, "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 Issus. 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.

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 with them. I don't like this one.

Oh, not this one. That's how you got your B 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, when 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 were allowed to pretty much do what they wanted to do, and they practiced the mysticism that we we practice here for the most part, but they 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 in the year 367, there came an order from a guy named Athanasius, the Archbishop of Alexandria, to purge all apocryphal books with heretical tendencies.

In other words, anything that disagreed had to be burned.

Do you understand? This is what I 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's just 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.
