The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ: Section V: He: Child... | Sacred Texts Archive
- Now, Rabbi Barachia of the synagogue of Nazareth, was aid to Mary in the teaching of her son.
- One morning after service in the synagogue the rabbi said to Jesus as he sat in silent thought, Which is the greatest of the Ten Commands? 🤔
- And Jesus said, I do not see a greatest of the Ten Commands. I see a golden cord that runs through all the Ten Commands that binds 🪢 them fast and makes them one. ☝️
- This cord is love, and it belongs to every word of all the Ten Commands.
- If one is full of love, he can do nothing else than worship God; for God 🕊️ is love 🤍.
- If one is full of love, he cannot kill; he cannot falsely testify; he cannot covet; can do naught but honor God and man.
- If one is full of love, he does not need commands of any kind.
- And Rabbi Barachia said, Your words are seasoned with the salt of wisdom 🧠 that is from above ☀️. Who is the teacher who has opened up this truth to you[?]
- And Jesus said, I do not know that any teacher opens up this truth for me. It seems to me that truth was never shut; that it was always opened up, for truth 📕 is one 1️⃣ and it is everywhere.
- And if we open up the window 🪟 of our minds 🧠 the truth will enter in and make herself at home; for truth 🗝️ can find her way through any crevice ⚫, any window 🪟, any door 🚪.
- The rabbi said, What hand is strong enough to open up the windows and doors of mind so truth can enter in?
- And Jesus said, It seems to me that love, the golden cord that binds the Ten Commands in one, is strong 💪 enough to open any human door so that truth ❤️🔥 can enter in and cause the heart 🫶 to understand 🤗.
- Now, in the evening Jesus and his mother sat alone, and Jesus said,
- The rabbi seems to think that God is partial in his treatment of the sons of men; that Jews are favored and are blest above all other men. ⁉️
- I do not see how God can have his favorites and be just. ⚖️
- Are not Samaritans 👥 and Greeks 👥 and Romans 👥 just as much the children of the Holy One as are the Jews 👥?
- I think the Jews have built a wall 🧱 about themselves, and they see nothing on the other side of it. ⬛
- They do not know that flowers 🌸 are blooming over there; that sowing times and reaping times belong to anybody but the Jews.
