Rejoicing in the Voice of the Bridegroom - Part 4

 

True meaning of

" The wrath of God "

 

(p.292) The only way to Cosmic Consciousness consists in penetrating through the

encrusting shell of material vibrations to the living essence of immanent Christ

Intelligence. Persons whose eyes are shut to the light of Cosmic Vibration and

the Christ Intelligence hidden in matter fail to reach God. " He that believeth

not the Son...the wrath of God abideth on him. " God is both angry and sorry for

such souls, as a mother would be angry and sorry for a son who hurts himself by

misuse of his free choice. The " wrath of God " is the Biblical terminology for

the Lord's just law of karma, which metes out the consequential effects of man's

self-initiated actions. God need not intervene to impose a decree apart from His

relentless and exacting karmic law; but His compassion that mitigates karmic

effects may be withheld, blocked by man's sheer ignorance and oftentimes willful

stupidity.

 

After God announced the coming of Jesus through John, and showed to the

Pharisees the magnetic drawing power of Jesus--attracting crowds of soul-bees by

the Divine Fragrance manifested in him--Jesus left Judea and departed for

Galilee to preach there the Gospel (revelations of truth, which God spells [1]

or speaks through man's intuition). He had a special mission to redeem a fallen

disciple of former incarnations, the woman of Samaria. That is why it was

written: " And he must needs go through Samaria. "
