Work. We haven't got enough done. 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 I I

really am not interested in what Mr. Fwell has to say, or what Mr. Ol 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. 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, 'cause 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 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 and a woman said, "What right",

does he have to say that? That's a horrible thing to say." So I gave Lyn 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

in Jesus' name, because they made up the name out of Greek mythology. That's where it came

from. 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. I wonder if the Creator gave him the name Yehoshua, 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 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? Val's Jewish. Can't have anything Jewish, so they take the whole thing. And then you have a

A religious minister who changes the guy's name from the Hebrew Yeshua to the 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, 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. 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, verse 21, "The kingdom is within 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 Yeshua. 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. 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 wouldn'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 were 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 and 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

Crowd, they love this one. Page 781. I had a guy talk to from New York; there's a fellow from New York named

Scott Kilgore. He's from Scotland and he's studying the mysticism of the Celts, the Celtic race. I thought that 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 him a New Revised American Standard 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 be filled 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 be filled with light.' Okay, well, what do

you do if you do that? You go into meditation; things happen, right? You're at—you're at Matthew 6, chapter 22. Look at

Matthew 6, chapter 25: 'Take no thought.' Matthew 6:27, why add thought? 6:27, 28, why take thought? 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 into 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 and 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. So it becomes very interesting then if we go back to where we began

this discussion, doesn't it? Go back, 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 14:6, and Jesus answers, "Where am I? Where the heck am I?" 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 Gita. Two words: "I am" and "me" represent that which is the Christ who dwells within the

center. Hindu, Buddha, uh, Krishna taught it; Jesus Christ taught it. 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 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 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 Gita: "Worship me, honor me, recognize me, know me, pray to me." He's talking about

yourself, 'cause Christian said in the last time we talked about the Bhagavad Gita: "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

'내가 곧 길이요 진리요 생명이다'(요한복음 14:6)라는 예수님의 말씀과 힌두교의 유사한 개념을 비교합니다.

'나 스스로는 아무 것도 할 수 없다'(요한복음 5:30)는 예수님의 말씀은 '나'를 내면의 자아로 해석하는 것을 뒷받침합니다.

내면의 자아에 초점을 맞춘 바가바드 기타의 예수의 가르침과 크리슈나의 가르침이 유사합니다.

예수의 네팔과 티베트 여행에 대한 추측으로, 동양 신비주의의 영향을 암시합니다.

예수님은 제자들에게 자신의 가르침을 믿고 실천하라는 도전을 주셨습니다.

예수님은 믿고 행동하는 자에게 자신보다 더 큰 일을 하시겠다고 약속하셨습니다(요한복음 14장).

외부의 권위를 거부하고 내면의 지혜를 수용하기

예수님은 성전의 외형적인 웅장함을 거부하셨습니다(마태복음 24:1).

내면의 길을 찾는 데 있어 기관이 방해가 됩니다.

다양한 영적 수행이 내면의 변화와 궁극적으로 무관하다는 비판이 있습니다.
