Matthew 13:33 The Parable of the Yeast
Jesus told them still another parable: " The Kingdom of
Heaven is like this. A woman takes some yeast and mixes
it with 40 litres of flour until the whole batch of
dough rises."
---------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned in previous blogs, the parables of Jesus do
not mean what they appear to mean.
The parables contain a hidden meaning and it is up to
the awakened soul to understand it.
No one can claim to know exactly what Jesus meant!
Any attempts to decipher these parables will undoubtedly
be a source of controversy and so must be dealt with in
a hypothetical manner.
This is a hypothetical exercise only! Please be clear on
this!
---------------------------------------------------------
The meaning of the above parable; taken at it's dead-letter
meaning, means exactly what it says and it does not appear
to mean anything other than a woman making bread.
Jesus did not come to us, and go through everything he did,
simply to tell us, how to make bread.
There is a deeper meaning to this parable! What is it?
An awakened soul reads between the lines knowing that there
is a message for the true-man contained within it.
This parable carries many questions with it.
Who is the woman mixing the flour?
What does the flour represent?
Why 40 litres of flour?
What does the yeast represent?
We know that Jesus spoke about bread many times:
John 6:33 "The bread that God gives is he who comes down
from heaven and gives life to the world."
John 6:35 "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will
never be hungry. He who believes in me will never be
thirsty."
John 6:51 "I am the bread that came down from heaven. If
anyone eats this bread, he will live forever."
-----------------------------------------------------------
HYPOTHETICALLY --- WHAT IF
What if the WOMAN, spoken of 'exoterically' in the above
parable meant - THE HOLY SPIRIT, 'esoterically'.
What if the YEAST, (exoterically) meant SELF-KNOWLEDGE
(esoterically)
What if the 40 LITRES OF FLOUR (exoterically) meant THE
SOUL - WITHIN THE PHYSICAL MAN (esoterically)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Then (hypothetically of course) the above parable would
read as follows.
'The Kingdom of God is like this, the Holy Spirit brings
self-knowledge to the soul in this the physical world. with
time this knowledge grows and soon the soul becomes what it
was meant to become. A CHILD OF GOD!'
------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL EXERCISE ONLY AND IS
DESIGNED TO STIMULATE DEBATE AND
CONVERSATION ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR
JESUS, THE MESSIAH.
------------------------------------------------------------
REMEMBER ALWAYS;
YOU DO NOT POSSESS A SOUL - YOU ARE SOUL!
IT IS EGO THAT THINKS IT HAS A SOUL.- IT DOES NOT!
SOUL IS THE CHILD OF GOD - EGO IS NOT!
