Conclusion of LETTER 2 of CHRIST'S LETTERS
RECORDER comments:
"Here you have what Jesus really taught the people and his attitude towards them - playful, loving and compassionate. These are beautiful passages and those of you who once read the New Testament will recognize Jesus' teachings delivered in a more meaningful and explanatory way."
CHRIST says:
“The crowd was silent, then a very young man, Mark, shouted to me: ‘I know. He said he would be struggling to buy food and clothes. You have told us that what we think and talk about is what we will get.’
‘Exactly” I said. ‘You are a very clever boy. You have understood. Take care that you do not create for yourself the things you do not want. And I will be happy for you to become my disciple when you are older and your parents will let you go.’
Some of the people laughed - but some did not. I could see that they did not believe a word I was saying.
“You will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven by being anxious. If you are having a hard time today, why moan about it? Will it make you feel better if you go about complaining, will your crying brighten your day? And if you are anxious about your tomorrows, you are making your tomorrows burdensome and weary even before you get to them. Why do it? What good will it do for you? When did anxiety ever accomplish anything for you? You might as well try to make yourself taller by being anxious that you are short.
‘No, do not dwell on the things you do not have. Dwell on the things which can be yours if you turn to the ‘Father’ within you and ask in perfect faith, believing you will receive - and I tell you without fear of contradiction, that you will receive. But you must ask properly - believing. You will receive nothing if you ask, but, at the same time, wonder whether you have been heard or whether the ‘Father’ will feel like giving you what you want. This is the human way of giving, but not the way of the ‘Father’ which gives abundantly and fulfills your needs.
‘The ‘Father’ always pours Its gift out upon you, gifts of food in plenty, clothes, house, friends, providing you yourself have a clean heart and mind, and providing you constantly rely on the ‘Father’ as your moment- by- moment support.
‘If you pray and do not receive, do not, for one moment, think it is because there is no ‘Father’, or the ‘Father’ does not listen to you, rather, you must ask yourselves what is in you that is preventing the ‘Father’ LOVE WORK being done in and for you.
‘If you go to the altar to pray or offer a gift, and on the way there you remember that you have quarrelled with someone, turn around and go to that person and make your peace with him. Then, when you approach the ‘Father’ in prayer, you will have a clean and pure mind, and you will be heard by the ‘Father’ and the ‘Father’ will be able to respond, giving you all you need, in the peace and quietness of your being.
‘If you still cannot believe that the ‘Father’ cares for its creation, look about you at the radiant flowers in the fields, how beautiful they are! Consider the brilliant thought which has gone into their design, their beauty! Where will you find the colours that you see in their petals? With all his wisdom, Solomon himself was not able to have such beautiful clothes made for himself. See the way the flowers attract the bees and the bees help to bring next seasons’ seeds, to make your world beautiful and to give you food. Why can you not believe and trust in the ‘Father’ when the world around you is planned, designed and cared for in such a wonderful way?
‘But remember - these living plants and trees, unlike mankind, cannot complain about their lot, and see themselves as hungry and naked, and so they do not ‘undo’ the work the ‘Father’ does in them.
‘It is you with your continual complaining and talking about what you lack, your aggression towards each other, your insistence on retribution, your criticism and slandering, which makes your lack - and your sickness - consistent, day after day.
‘I have told you all these things to prepare you, who are sick, for healing. You cannot be healed unless you believe with all your hearts that healing will take place. Remember that sickness of the body arises from an illness within the mind, such as your bad temper, resentments, angers, hatreds.
‘‘Father Love’ is the source of all health, therefore all thoughts and feelings contrary to ‘Father Love’ bring sickness.
‘Just as all your evils and sickness begin in the mind - so does your good.
‘Have as much care for your neighbour as you have for yourself.
‘Bless your neighbour when you have an argument, pray for him when he is harsh with you, help him out in any way you can at all times, even if he turns his face from you, because then you are constructing good in your mind and thoughts, and good will be the harvest of your sowing. Not only this - you are bringing your mind into harmony and attunement with the ‘Father’ within you, which is Perfect Love.’ Under these conditions, the ‘Father’ can do Its perfect LOVE WORK in you.’
When I had finished speaking, the people brought their sick to me and according to their faith were they healed.”
