I want to review* this Bible passage I heard recently through the lens of the teachings of Jesus in A Course in Miracles (and a bit of an update on my ‘story’):

Matthew 25:31-46

King James Version

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

* This is the key passage here because it identifies what is happening. This is the time when humanity is willing to see Christ in Itself and all of Creation. It could be ANY time because we understand that time itself is a false construct. WHAT is occurring is what is relevant.

* “Sitting upon a throne” is not a statement of form but ‘content.’ It is the recognition that Christ IS because God IS, and that Christ is recognized as His Son by God.

* This passage is a reflection of the state of mind of the Son as He begins to Awaken unto Himself Within the Father.

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

* In the recognition of His Oneness with All That Is this mortal man, remember it was the Son of man, will see himself divided.

* “Sheep from the goats” does not represent good from bad but simply that which is of one mind and that which is of another. Those that understand they are independent parts of a whole and those who think of themselves as separate, period.

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

* There will be a division. A division of thought. A division in how they see the world.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

* This is the Heaven that was here and is here since its development because God is/was acknowledged by His Son.

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

* These statements declare the Oneness that is the Son. The Son of God.

* These statements have little to do with the acts of giving food, drink, shelter, and clothing, or visiting those in brick-and-mortar prisons.

* It has to do with SEEING them as yourself and sharing with them whatever you have as if it were yourself, AS a part of the Sonship that IS Christ.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

* “The righteous” are simply those who know who they are. It is not form that makes them so, but their witness of God.

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

* If your heart does not cry for those who hurt in any way you are not SEEING the Son of God.

* If you do not see those who are ‘trapped’ in their paradigm of separateness as being in prison you are not seeing the Son of God within the ‘body’ of the Son of man.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

* Like the fairy tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, this is a parable with imaginary creatures. There is not devil and his angels or that would be saying that God could be divided since God in omni-present or everywhere.

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

* Inasmuch as you do not see Christ in all things you separate yourselves from the Truth of what you are.

* You have no ‘place’ in Christ at the ‘table’ (all needs provided for and abundance eternally) God prepares for Him because you choose not to see Christ or God, His Father in all things.

* It is not without terrific prayer and contemplation that I share these words. It places me once more in a place where I find myself abandoned once again in the physical world because I will place no one and nothing before what I need to profess about God and His Son, but I know that in form there is no lasting comfort WITHOUT the witness of God in ALL THINGS. And so I shed a tear not for the loss of the ‘partner’ but for the belief in separation from God that seems to make things so challenging.

* God makes ALL THINGS REAL.

* His absence makes all things unreal and unlasting.

* That includes any professed love among the living dead.

* It rapidly turns to (again a false illusion but nonetheless sad and painful) ‘hate.’

* Hate that can be used for further self-attack (on the Christ that you are) as one bashes and reems another for not meeting what the frightened ego declares are reasonable expectations.

* I find myself in a bit of a quandary. I have attempted to engage with human beings a few times a week and I, being the youngest, am able to provide a service. For a few minutes, I even felt that maybe I was a welcome part of something but how can I be a part of something that has no existence because it does not see itself as God sees it? Why would I want such a falsehood?

* I will seek to go in the Name of Christ and serve my brethren and in silence profess that they are a part of the Christ and of God.

* I sound stupid, don’t I? Or weird in the extreme, at the very least.

* How I wish I could say to them directly, “You are the Son of God, stand up and walk in God and in Glory, Eternally.”

* I will do what I can, and I will testify of what I know one step at a time.

* I do not know of any other way to exist.

* This is how Jesus tells us to walk in a world that does not as yet remember Christ or His Father.

* There is a scripture that says that Christ has nowhere to lay His Head and I suspect I am beginning to understand what that might mean.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

* Like the bears in the tale of Goldilocks, this everlasting punishment, has no validity and Life Eternal is where we ALL ARE regardless of the nightmares we put before ourselves to suggest otherwise.

* I was going to go to the meetings and collect scripture to review, but I fear that I would not be careful to not share what I know, and thus become feared or shunned as I have in other communities. Instead, I think I will just attend one more Lenten Service and leave it at that.

* I do enjoy looking at the scriptures though and hearing what Jesus was really telling them.

* I may do that some more.

* In case you might think otherwise, let me remind you that I live with a peaceful heart that passes the understanding of the frightened ego and I dwell in joy and exhilaration at the awareness of the reality that God IS and that His Son is WELL and HAPPY within the Mind of His Father where nothing is held back from the Son, and myself as a part of Christ.

Till next time, God bless, debi.
