HYPOTHETICAL impressions about exoteric and esoteric
meanings in the teachings of Jesus.
This is a HYPOTHETICAL EXERCISE ONLY and there is no claim
whatsoever as to this being absolute truth.
However, it must be attempted.
The choice of teachings was made easily, the most difficult
teaching seems to be calling out to this awakened soul; to
be brought out into the light, mostly because everyone
talks about Jesus' teachings but no one ever really talks
about this one.
EXOTERIC TEACHING OF JESUS
John 6:53 "If you do not eat the flesh of The Son of Man
and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves."
-------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IF
EXOTERICALLY MEANS ESOTERICALLY
eat the flesh hear the word
drink his blood understand his teaching
The sentence in this teaching would then read as follows;
'If you do not HEAR THE WORD of the SON OF MAN (JESUS) and
UNDERSTAND HIS TEACHING, you will not have life in yourselves'.
-------------------------------------------------------------
John 6:54 "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has
eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Using the same WHAT IFs as above, the teaching in John 6:54
would read as follows:
'Whoever hears my word and understands my teaching has eternal
life and I will raise him to life on the last day'. (The last
day being the end of the age)
-----------------------------------------------------------
John 6:55 "For my flesh is the real food: my blood is the
real drink."
WHAT IF:
The food Jesus speaks of ( EXOTERICALLY ) in the above teaching
really means TRUTH! (ESOTERICALLY) And - WHAT IF: DRINK,
being used here as a noun (exoterically) - means FOOD? (esoterically)
Still using the esoteric WHAT IFs in the former teachings, the
above teaching will read as follows:
'For my WORD is the real TRUTH: My TEACHING is the real FOOD'.
------------------------------------------------------------
John 6:56 "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives
in me and I live in him."
Previous exercises make this teaching already known,
(Hypothetically of course) - and would read as follows:
'Whoever hears my word and understands my teaching lives in me and
I live in them'.
------------------------------------------------------------
Expressing this hardest of all of Jesus' teachings, as percieved
by the awakened soul,- This teaching would read as follows:
John 6:53 (Hypothetically) 'If you do not HEAR THE WORD of the
SON OF MAN (JESUS) and UNDERSTAND HIS TEACHING,
you will not have life in yourselves'.
John 6:54 (Hypothetically)'Whoever hears my word and understands
my teaching has eternal life and I will raise him to life on the
last day'. (The last day being the end of the age)
John 6:55 (Hypothetically) 'For my WORD is the real TRUTH: My
TEACHING is the real FOOD'.
John 6:56 (Hypothetically) 'Whoever hears my word and understands
my teaching lives in me and I live in them'.
The words Jesus spoke were parables and the parables contain a
hidden meaning. The words of Jesus are directed to the soul which is
a child of God. The soul you are is God's child and God loves his
children.
Study the words of Jesus as the soul you are and not as EGO.
EGO can not read between the lines.
The true-man (SOUL) once awakened, perceives the magic of the
living word and is lifted beyond belief to knowledge of our living and
very active Heavenly Father.
Only the words of Jesus can awaken the sleeping soul.
Remember, you do not possess a SOUL - YOU ARE SOUL!!!
