Nicodemus didn't know!
JESUS SAID. John 3:3
"I am telling you the truth: No one can see the Kingdom
of God unless he is born again."
JESUS SAID. John 3:6
"A person is born physically of human parents but he is
born spiritually of the spirit."
------------------------------------------------------------
These words, attributed to Jesus, according to the book of
John were spoken to a Jewish leader named Nicodemus who
was a member of the party of the Pharisees.
Nicodemus was a great teacher in Israel, BUT, after hearing
Jesus' words, said. "How can this be?" John 3:9
Nicodemus (great leader and teacher of the Pharisees) could
not understand what Jesus was telling him.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus spoke in parables when teaching the people but he
didn't ALWAYS speak in parables.
When he spoke to his disciples, in private conversations,
or when he spoke and prayed to his Father, he did not speak
in parables.
In his conversation with Nicodemus,(above), Jesus is
speaking plainly.
NO ONE CAN PERCEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD
UNLESS THEY ARE BORN AGAIN - PERIOD!
NICODEMUS, not knowing the truth of who, and what he truly
was (a dual being) and operating in EGO mode only, he
couldn't understand Jesus, even, when Jesus was speaking
plainly to him.
The soul, he truly was, was fast asleep.- Put to bed,- by EGO!
Perhaps, since the VERY moment of his physical birth?

JESUS SAID; John 3:12
"You do not believe me when I tell you about the things of
this world: how will you ever believe me, when I tell you
about the things of heaven?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
HERE, Jesus speaks plainly again. This is not a parable.
Now we see that when reading or listening to the gospel, that
we really have to be alert, because one moment Jesus speaks
plainly, but the next sentence could be a parable, with a
hidden meaning, meant for the true-man. (the soul you are)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Remember Nicodemus! Great teacher! Great scholar! Leader of
his people! - He did not know his true self!
Do not be discouraged when you do not understand.
Jesus knows of your plight in this world.
You are not alone! God loves you.
The soul you are is the child of God, not the man of flesh and
not EGO.
The words of Jesus are meant for the true-man.
Fill yourself with the words of Jesus ONLY, and the magic of
the 'Living God' will unfold before you.
Persevere and you will be gifted beyond anything you could
even possibly imagine currently.
REMEMBERING ALWAYS: YOU DO NOT POSSESS A SOUL
- YOU ARE SOUL!!
