Materialisation of the Spiritual Body of Jesus

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here is another chapter from the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H.

Dowling, regarding the " Materialisation of the Spiritual Body of Jesus " , at his

resurrection. Levi H. Dowling describes both the physical and spiritual aspects

of the resurrection of Jesus in a way that makes a lot of spiritual sense - but

it didn't make a lot of sense to the eyes and ears of the witnesses insofar as

it was beyond anything that they had experienced before! When you read the

passage below, it will be interesting to take note how the witnesses to the

Resurrection, did not really have the words to convey what was happening... or

what had happened! Sure enough, they witnessed it, they knew Jesus had arisen

from the dead, but they could not describe it, in their ordinary terms of

reference; it was extraordinary. Indeed, it was extraordinary!

 

Enjoy,

Materialisation of the Spiritual Body of Jesus

 

Chapter 173

 

(Jesus appears, fully materialised, to his mother, Miriam, Mary of Magdala and

to Peter, James and John.)

 

1. Now, when the rabbis took the body of the Lord and laid it in the tomb of the

mother of the Lord, and Mary Magdalene, and Miriam were there.

 

2. And when the body was entombed they went to Joseph's home and there abode.

 

3. They did not know that Jewish soldiers had been sent to guard the tomb, nor

that the Roman seal was placed upon the stone;

 

4. So in the morning of the first day of the week they hastened to the tomb with

spices to embalm the Lord.

 

5. But when they reached the tomb they found the terror-stricken soldiers

running frantically about.

 

6. The women did not know the cause; but when they found an empty tomb they were

excited and aggrieved.

 

7. The soldiers did not know what had transpired; they could not tell who took

the body of the Lord away.

 

8. And Mary Magdalene ran with haste toward Jerusalem to tell the news to Peter

and the rest.

 

9. She met, just by the gateway, Peter, James and John; she said, Some one has

rolled away the stone and carried off the body of the Lord.

 

10. And then the three disciples ran toward the tomb; but John was fleet of foot

and was the first to reach the tomb; he found it empty; the body of his Lord was

gone.

 

11. When Peter came he went into the tomb, and found the grave clothes neatly

folded up and laid aside.

 

12. Now, the disciples did not comprehend the scene. They did not know the

meaning of their Lord when he informed them just before his death that he would

rise from death upon the first day of the week.

 

13. The three disciples went back to Jerusalem; the mother of the Lord and

Miriam went not away.

 

14. And Mary looked within the tomb, and saw two masters sitting there; they

said, Why do you weep?

 

15. And Mary said, Because my Lord is gone; some one has carried off the body of

my Lord; I know not where it is.

 

16. Then she arose and looked around; a man stood near and said, Why do you

weep? whom do you seek?

 

17. And Mary thought it was the gardener and said, If you have borne away the

body of my Lord, O tell me where it is that I may lay it in a sacred tomb.

 

18. And then the man came near and said, My Mother! and Mary said, My Lord!

 

19. The eyes of Miriam were opened up and she beheld the Lord.

 

20. And Jesus said, Behold, I told you as we walked along the way up to the

cross that I would meet you at the sepulchre upon the first day of the week.

 

21. Now, Mary Magdalene was sitting not a great way off, and Jesus went to her

and said,

 

22. Why seek the living 'mong the dead? Your Lord has risen as he said, Now,

Mary, look! behold my face!

 

23. Then Mary knew it was the Lord; that he had risen from the dead.

 

24. And then Salome, and Mary, mother of the two disciples, James and John,

Joanna, and the other women who had come out to the tomb, saw Jesus, and they

talked with him.

 

25. And Mary Magdalene was filled with joy. She sought again for Peter, James

and John; she found them and she said,

 

26. Lo, I have seen the Lord; and Miriam has seen the Lord; the mother of the

Lord has seen the Lord; and many more have seen his face; for he has risen from

the dead.

 

27. But the disciples thought that she had simply seen a vision of the Lord.

They did not think that he had risen from the dead.

 

28. Then Mary found the other members of the company and told them all about the

risen Lord; but none of them believed.

 

29. Now, Peter, James and John were in the garden of Siloam; were talking with

the gardener about the happenings of the day when John beheld a stranger coming

up the walk.

 

30. The stranger lifted up his hands and said, I am. Then the disciples knew it

was the Lord.

 

31. And Jesus said, Behold, for human flesh can be transmuted into higher form,

and then that higher form is master of things manifest, and can, at will, take

any form.

 

32. And so I come to you in form familiar unto you.

 

33. Go speak to Thomas, and the other men whom I have called to be apostles unto

men, and say to them,

 

34. That he whom Jews and Romans thought was dead is walking in the garden of

Siloam;

 

35. Will stand again before the priests and Pharisees within the temple in

Jerusalem;

 

36. And will appear unto the sages of the world.

 

37. Tell them that I will go before them into Galilee.

 

38. Then Peter, James and John went forth and found their brethren, and said,

Behold, the Lord is risen from the dead, and we have seen him face to face.

 

39. The brethren were amazed at what the three disciples said; but still they

looked upon their words as idle talk and they believed them not.
