Jesus spoke about a future time of knowledge or gnosis

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Jesus spoke beyond the parable to his closest disciples regarding

the-then-secret knowledge or gnosis. But he warned his disciples not to divulge

the same to the children of that age as they would just denounce this message!

Jesus said, though, that when the age of knowledge or gnosis would come, the

disciples would be praised for their knowledge:

 

" Now listen to the things I am telling you in secret and keep them. Do not tell

them to the children of this age. For they will denounce you during these ages,

since they are ignorant of you, but they will praise you when there is

knowledge. " [18]

 

Shri Jesus Christ, Excerpt 'The Revelation of Peter' (72,4-73,23)

 

Shri Mataji has taken up where Jesus left off, as the age of knowledge or gnosis

is now here. She has explained all the knowledge that Jesus taught in secret to

his disciples. It is the knowledge of our roots. An important facet of this

knowledge is that in our own experience, we must come to know that we are not

really this body, mind, or emotions, which are all temporary and transient - but

what we are is the Spirit, which is the only eternal facet of ourselves. That is

our Self! Our Spirit within is the only Constant, the only Reality!

 

regards to all,

The Revelation of Peter - Part 2

 

(The Priests and the People Threaten Jesus and Peter - 72,4-73,23)

 

(p.492) When he said this, I saw the priests and the people running toward us

with stones as if they would kill us, and I was afraid we would die.

 

He said to me, " Peter, I have told you many times that they are blind and have

no leader.[15] If you want to know their blindness, put your hands on the eyes

of your garment[16] and tell me what you see. "

 

When I did this, I saw nothing, and I said, " No one sees in this way. "

 

Then he told me, " Do it again. "

 

Fear and joy arose in me, for I saw a new light brighter than the light of

day,[17] and it came down on the Savior. I told him what I saw.

 

He said to me again, " Put your hands to your ears and listen to what the priests

and the people are saying. "

 

I listened to the priests as they were sitting with the scholars, and the

multitude was shouting with a loud voice.

 

When he heard what I said about this, he said to me, " Use your ears and listen

to what they are saying. "

 

I listened again. " They are praising you as you are sitting here. "

 

When I said this, the Savior replied, " I have told you that these people are

blind and deaf. Now listen to the things I am telling you in secret and keep

them. Do not tell them to the children of this age. For they will denounce you

during these ages, since they are ignorant of you, but they will praise you when

there is knowledge.[18]
