34 And Holy Breath can raise the ethers of the fires to light in none but hearts of purity and love.
35 Hear, then, you men of Galilee, Make pure the heart, admit the Holy Breath, and then your bodies will be full of light,
36 And like a city on a hill, your light will shine afar, and thus your light may light the way for other men.
CHAPTER 108.
Jesus rebukes the people for selfishness. The Christines attend a feast and Jesus is censured by the Pharisee because he washed not before he eat. Jesus exposes the hypocrisy of the ruling classes and pronounces upon them many woes.
The multitudes were wild with selfish thought; none recognized the rights and needs of any other one.
2 The stronger pushed the weak aside, and trampled on them in their haste to be the first to get a blessing for himself.
3 And Jesus said, Behold the cage of beasts untamed; a den of stinging vipers, maddened by their fiendish greed of selfish gain!
4 I tell you, men, the benefits that come to men who see no further than themselves are baubles in the morning light;
5 They are unreal; they pass away. The selfish soul is fed today; the food does not assimilate; the soul grows not, and then it must be fed again, and then again.
