SANANDA (Jesus) Journal 2 - Chapter 4

We say we want to know the real truth - but then we find the Truth too confronting for us to handle. Why?
Perhaps because the Truth does not reinforce our existing beliefs ... we are reluctant to grasp the Truth!

MANY HEALINGS

2.236
When Jmmanuel came down from the mountain, many of the people followed him. And behold, a leper came and fell on his knees before him and spoke, "Lord, if thou will, please make me clean." And Jmmanuel reached out his hand and touched the leper and said: "I will do it, be clean." and soon he was completely cleansed of leprosy.

2.237
Then Jmmanuel spoke to him, "See to it that you do not tell anyone of this, but go forth and show yourself to a priest for you were healed through the power of spirit and through the wisdom of knowledge."

2.238
Jmmanuel then went on to Caperneum, where an autocrat approached him with a request, saying, "Lord, my servant lies at home with gout and is suffering terribly. Lord I have heard your new teaching, and I believe in your wisdom which says that the spirit of man can perform miracles through the knowledge of the truth." Jmmanuel responded to him, "I shall come to him and make him well."

2.239
The autocrat answered and spoke, "Lord, I am not worthy that you enter under my roof, but speak only one word and my servant will be well."

2.240
"For I, too, am a captain and am subject to authority. I have soldiers under me, and when I say to one of them: 'Go away!' he goes away, and to the other: 'Come here!', he comes here, and to my servant: 'Do this!', he does it."

2.241
When Jmmanuel heard this, he was astonished and spoke to those who followed him, "Verily, I say to you, I have never found such faith in anyone in Israel. But I say to you, many will come from the East and West, from South and North, and they shall understand my teaching and recognize its wisdom in knowledge. But the children of Israel shall be expelled into darkness. And there shall be wailing and grinding of teeth. The false teaching of Israel will bring bloodshed throughout millennia, for the power hungry selfishness and self glorification of Israel will bring death and destruction throughout the land, and throughout the entire world.

2.242
"Turn away from the false teaching of the ruling power and their scribes, for they only bring destruction to generations of human races. Israel believes itself to be the chosen people; by no means, because they are more rebellious and incredulous than the unknowing who lack the secret of the Laws and act in ignorance.

2.243
Again, Jmmanuel spoke to the captain, "Go, and it be done to you as you believed." The servant was well that very hour.

2.244
Then Jmmanuel came into the house of Peter and saw that his mother-in-law was bedded with a great fever. He took her hand and the fever left her instantly. She rose from her bed and served him.

2.245
In the evening many were brought to him who were possessed and he drove out the spirits of evil through his word, and made all that were sick, well, so that the words of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled who said, "He brought to us the new teaching of knowledge and took upon Himself our weakeners, and he healed our sick and infirm."

2.246
Then, as again Jmmanuel was by the river, he saw many people pressing around and about him. He asked to be taken to the other bank. A scribe came to him and said, "Master, I will follow wherever you go." Jmmanuel spoke to him, "The foxes have hollows and the birds under the sky have nests, but I have nothing firm where I can put my head. I have the mission to preach wisdom and knowledge, and therefore, I am wandering restless through the lands."

2.247
Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, permit me to go and bury my father who has just died." This was as they were to depart the city upon a journey. But Jmmanuel said to him, "Follow me and let the dead bury the dead."

2.248
As he came to the other bank near the people of Gardarene, two that were possessed rushed towards him. They came out of the place of tombs, for they were so very dangerous that no one could walk on the street where they now were treading.

2.249
Behold, they screamed and bellowed from within, "What do you want from us you son of Gabriel, the Celestial Son. Have you come to torture us before the time has come?" And the evil spirits within them asked him, "Lord, if you would expel us, let us go into the herd of swine which is grazing over yon way, for we have no other place to go."

2.250
Jmmanuel demanded, "Drive into them", and the evil spirits went into the swine, and behold, the herd of swine hurled themselves into the waters of the river and were drowned.

2.251
The swineherders fled and went into the town and told everything that had happened to the ones possessed. And behold, the whole of the town's peoples when out to meet Jmmanuel. And when they caught up to him they asked him to leave the area for they were in great fear and confusion.

2.252
Therefore, he boarded his boat, and went again into his own town.

2.253
There, they brought to him a man who had gout; he was lying on a bed. When Jmmanuel saw their faith, he spoke to the man with the gout, "Be comforted, for your faith in the power of my spirit, and your faith in my teaching of wisdom, which is the teaching of nature and The Creation, has helped you."

2.254
Jmmanuel was most weary for he was never in aloneness that he might rest of his body; always the press of crowds where upon him. And all who came were not of faith and came forth to cause trouble.

2.255
Some of the scribes stirred up the speech among the people, "This man blasphemes God and our Holy teachings." But since Jmmanuel understood their thoughts, he spoke, "Why do you think such wicked thoughts against your better knowledge? Yet, what is easier, to say: Your faith has helped you, or to say: Get up and walk? But, so that you know that I am a man just as you, but that I know how to use the power of my spirit through my knowledge, therefore, I command the man with the gout; "Get up, pick up your bed, and go ye home!" The man got up, picked up his bedding, and went forth to his home.

2.256
When the people saw that, they were afraid, and praised the new teaching of Jmmanuel which gave such power to men.

2.257
MATTHEW'S CALL

2.258
As Jmmanuel went away, he saw a man sitting at the customs office, named Matthew, and he spoke to him, "Follow me!" And Matthew got up and followed him.

2.259
And it happened when he sat at the table at home, many customs officers and ignorant people and those who were seeking the truth, came and sat at the table with Jmmanuel and his disciples.

2.260
When the Pharisees saw that, they spoke to his disciples, "Why does your master eat with the customs officers and the ignorant?" Jmmanuel heard this and responded, "Those who are healthy do not need a doctor, but the sick do, and the knowing do not need the teachings, but the ignorant do, and those who were not falsely taught do not need the teachings, but those who were falsely taught--do. Now go and realize the falsity of your erroneous teachings lest you mislead those people who thirst for the truth."

2.261
ON FASTING

2.262
Some of the disciples of John (the Baptist), came to him and said, "Lord, why do we fast and the Pharisees, you, and your disciples do not?"

2.263
Jmmanuel spoke to them, "How can the ignorant fast and suffer while they are taught knowledge? And how can the teacher fast when he has to teach knowledge to the ignorant? Verily, I say to you, your teachings are wrong if you fast according to the law of a cult. Fasting serves only the health of the body and the cultivation of the spirit. No one mends an old dress by using a new patch, because the patch will come off again from the dress and the rip will become worse. Nor does one pour new wine into old skins, or the skins will tear and the wine is spilled. But one pours fresh wine into new skins and they shall both be preserved.

2.264
MORE HEALINGS

2.265
And when he talked with them this way, behold, one of the chiefs of the community came to him and fell down before him saying, "My daughter just died, but please come and put your hand on her and she will live."

2.266
Jmmanuel got up and his disciples followed him and behold, a woman who had had an issue of blood for twelve years, stepped up behind him and touched the hem of his garment. She had spoken to herself, saying, "If I could only touch his garment, I would become well." Jmmanuel turned about and saw her and he said, "Be comforted, for your faith has helped you." The woman was well from that hour.

2.267
When he came to the house of the chief and saw the fife players and crowds of people, he said, "Go away, for the young girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people had been expelled from the house, Jmmanuel went within and took the young girl by her hands and said, "I command you, get up and walk!" The young girl got up, rose to her feet and walked. The news filled the whole country.

2.268
As Jmmanuel went away from there, a blind man followed and cried, "Oh Lord, son of wisdom and knowledge who knows how to use the power of your spirit, have mercy on me!" As Jmmanuel approached him he queried of him, "Do you believe that I can do such a thing?" and he replied, "Yes, Lord." Jmmanuel touched his eyes and said, Be it done to you according to your faith." His eyes were opened and he had vision.

2.269
Jmmanuel warned him to go forth and see to it that no one learn of what had happened.

2.270
But the man went out and spread the news throughout the whole countryside.

2.271
When this one had gone, they brought him two people who were mute and possessed. And the evil spirits were driven out, and the mutes spoke. And the people were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel, how powerful must this new teaching about the power of the spirit be to enable it to perform such miracles."

2.272
But the Pharisees said, "He drives out evil spirits through their chief, and he mocks God our Lord."

2.273
However, among themselves they said, "Who is this Jmmanuel who possesses greater wisdom and knowledge than we? His teachings are more powerful and more accurate than are ours. This endangers us, therefore, we must try and catch him so that he may die."

2.274
Jmmanuel continued to go around into all the cities and villages and preached in the synagogues the secret of The Creation and the Laws of nature, so that the spirit would attain omnipotence. He preached about the spiritual kingdom in man, and he healed all sickness and infirmities.

2.275
MORE LABORERS FOR THE HARVEST

2.276
When he saw the people, he took great pity on them for they were parched and scattered like a herd of sheep without a shepherd. He was greatly saddened and he spoke to his disciples, "The harvest is great but there are only a few laborers to bring it in. Seek and pray in your spirit so that more laborers will be found for the harvest."

2.277
And it happened that they found laborers for the harvest, who gathered around Jmmanuel and his disciples.

2.278
Let us close this portion, Dharma, for your body is too weary to proceed. I take leave with my blessings and benediction and I place mine seal upon these portions that they not be misunderstood and stand in the truth thereof.
