PAPER
133
The Return from Rome
133:0.1 When preparing to leave Rome, Jesus said good-bye to
none of his friends. The scribe of Damascus appeared in Rome
without announcement and disappeared in like manner. It was
a full year before those who knew and loved him gave up hope
of seeing him again. Before the end of the second year small
groups of those who had known him found themselves drawn together
by their common interest in his teachings and through mutual
memory of their good times with him. And these small groups
of Stoics, Cynics, and mystery cultists continued to hold these
irregular and informal meetings right up to the time of the
appearance in Rome of the first preachers of the Christian religion.
133:0.2 Gonod and Ganid had purchased so many things in Alexandria
and Rome that they sent all their belongings on ahead by pack
train to Tarentum, while the three travelers walked leisurely
across Italy over the great Appian Way. On this journey they
encountered all sorts of human beings. Many noble Roman citizens
and Greek colonists lived along this road, but already the progeny
of great numbers of inferior slaves were beginning to make their
appearance.
133:0.3 One day while resting at lunch, about halfway to Tarentum,
Ganid asked Jesus a direct question as to what he thought of
India's caste system. Said Jesus: " Though human beings
differ in many ways, the one from another, before God and in
the spiritual world all mortals stand on an equal footing. There
are only two groups of mortals in the eyes of God: those who
desire to do his will and those who do not. As the universe
looks upon an inhabited world, it likewise discerns two great
classes: those who know God and those who do not. Those who
cannot know God are reckoned among the animals of any given
realm. Mankind can appropriately be divided into many classes
in accordance with differing qualifications, as they may be
viewed physically, mentally, socially, vocationally, or morally,
but as these different classes of mortals appear before the
judgment bar of God, they stand on an equal footing; God is
truly no respecter of persons. Although you cannot escape the
recognition of differential human abilities and endowments in
matters intellectual, social, and moral, you should make no
such distinctions in the spiritual brotherhood of men when assembled
for worship in the presence of God. "

1. Mercy and Justice
133:1.1 A very interesting incident occurred
one afternoon by the roadside as they neared Tarentum. They
observed a rough and bullying youth brutally attacking a smaller
lad. Jesus hastened to the assistance of the assaulted youth,
and when he had rescued him, he tightly held on to the offender
until the smaller lad had made his escape. The moment Jesus
released the little bully, Ganid pounced upon the boy and began
soundly to thrash him, and to Ganid's astonishment Jesus promptly
interfered. After he had restrained Ganid and permitted the
frightened boy to escape, the young man, as soon as he got his
breath, excitedly exclaimed: " I cannot understand you,
Teacher. If mercy requires that you rescue the smaller lad,
does not justice demand the punishment of the larger and offending
youth? " In answering, Jesus said:
133:1.2 " Ganid, it is true, you do not understand. Mercy
ministry is always the work of the individual, but justice punishment
is the function of the social, governmental, or universe administrative
groups. As an individual I am beholden to show mercy; I must
go to the rescue of the assaulted lad, and in all consistency
I may employ sufficient force to restrain the aggressor. And
that is just what I did. I achieved the deliverance of the assaulted
lad; that was the end of mercy ministry. Then I forcibly detained
the aggressor a sufficient length of time to enable the weaker
party to the dispute to make his escape, after which I withdrew
from the affair. I did not proceed to sit in judgment on the
aggressor, thus to pass upon his motive¡ªto adjudicate all that
entered into his attack upon his fellow¡ªand then undertake to
execute the punishment which my mind might dictate as just recompense
for his wrongdoing. Ganid, mercy may be lavish, but justice
is precise. Cannot you discern that no two persons are likely
to agree as to the punishment which would satisfy the demands
of justice? One would impose forty lashes, another twenty, while
still another would advise solitary confinement as a just punishment.
Can you not see that on this world such responsibilities had
better rest upon the group or be administered by chosen representatives
of the group? In the universe, judgment is vested in those who
fully know the antecedents of all wrongdoing as well as its
motivation. In civilized society and in an organized universe
the administration of justice presupposes the passing of just
sentence consequent upon fair judgment, and such prerogatives
are vested in the juridical groups of the worlds and in the
all-knowing administrators of the higher universes of all creation.
"
133:1.3 For days they talked about this problem of manifesting
mercy and administering justice. And Ganid, at least to some
extent, understood why Jesus would not engage in personal combat.
But Ganid asked one last question, to which he never received
a fully satisfactory answer; and that question was: " But,
Teacher, if a stronger and ill-tempered creature should attack
you and threaten to destroy you, what would you do? Would you
make no effort to defend yourself? " Although Jesus could
not fully and satisfactorily answer the lad's question, inasmuch
as he was not willing to disclose to him that he (Jesus) was
living on earth as the exemplification of the Paradise Father's
love to an onlooking universe, he did say this much:
133:1.4 " Ganid, I can well understand how some of these
problems perplex you, and I will endeavor to answer your question.
First, in all attacks which might be made upon my person, I
would determine whether or not the aggressor was a son of God¡ªmy
brother in the flesh¡ªand if I thought such a creature did not
possess moral judgment and spiritual reason, I would unhesitatingly
defend myself to the full capacity of my powers of resistance,
regardless of consequences to the attacker. But I would not
thus assault a fellow man of sonship status, even in self-defense.
That is, I would not punish him in advance and without judgment
for his assault upon me. I would by every possible artifice
seek to prevent and dissuade him from making such an attack
and to mitigate it in case of my failure to abort it. Ganid,
I have absolute confidence in my heavenly Father's overcare;
I am consecrated to doing the will of my Father in heaven. I
do not believe that real harm can befall me; I do not believe
that my lifework can really be jeopardized by anything my enemies
might wish to visit upon me, and surely we have no violence
to fear from our friends. I am absolutely assured that the entire
universe is friendly to me¡ªthis all-powerful truth I insist
on believing with a wholehearted trust in spite of all appearances
to the contrary. "
133:1.5 But Ganid was not fully satisfied. Many times they talked
over these matters, and Jesus told him some of his boyhood experiences
and also about Jacob the stone mason's son. On learning how
Jacob appointed himself to defend Jesus, Ganid said: "
Oh, I begin to see! In the first place very seldom would any
normal human being want to attack such a kindly person as you,
and even if any one should be so unthinking as to do such a
thing, there is pretty sure to be near at hand some other mortal
who will fly to your assistance, even as you always go to the
rescue of any person you observe to be in distress. In my heart,
Teacher, I agree with you, but in my head I still think that
if I had been Jacob, I would have enjoyed punishing those rude
fellows who presumed to attack you just because they thought
you would not defend yourself. I presume you are fairly safe
in your journey through life since you spend much of your time
helping others and ministering to your fellows in distress-well,
most likely there'll always be someone on hand to defend you.
" And Jesus replied: " That test has not yet come,
Ganid, and when it does, we will have to abide by the Father's
will. " And that was about all the lad could get his teacher
to say on this difficult subject of self-defense and nonresistance.
On another occasion he did draw from Jesus the opinion that
organized society had every right to employ force in the execution
of its just mandates.

2. Embarking
at Tarentum
133:2.1 While tarrying at the ship landing,
waiting for the boat to unload cargo, the travelers observed
a man mistreating his wife. As was his custom, Jesus intervened
in behalf of the person subjected to attack. He stepped up behind
the irate husband and, tapping him gently on the shoulder, said:
" My friend, may I speak with you in private for a moment¡ª"
The angry man was nonplused by such an approach and, after a
moment of embarrassing hesitation, stammered out?" er-why-yes,
what do you want with me? " When Jesus had led him to one
side, he said: " My friend, I perceive that something terrible
must have happened to you; I very much desire that you tell
me what could happen to such a strong man to lead him to attack
his wife, the mother of his children, and that right out here
before all eyes. I am sure you must feel that you have some
good reason for this assault. What did the woman do to deserve
such treatment from her husband? As I look upon you, I think
I discern in your face the love of justice if not the desire
to show mercy. I venture to say that, if you found me out by
the wayside, attacked by robbers, you would unhesitatingly rush
to my rescue. I dare say you have done many such brave things
in the course of your life. Now, my friend, tell me what is
the matter? Did the woman do something wrong, or did you foolishly
lose your head and thoughtlessly assault her? " It was
not so much what he said that touched this man's heart as the
kindly look and the sympathetic smile which Jesus bestowed upon
him at the conclusion of his remarks. Said the man: " I
perceive you are a priest of the Cynics, and I am thankful you
restrained me. My wife has done no great wrong; she is a good
woman, but she irritates me by the manner in which she picks
on me in public, and I lose my temper. I am sorry for my lack
of self-control, and I promise to try to live up to my former
pledge to one of your brothers who taught me the better way
many years ago. I promise you."
133:2.2 And then, in bidding him farewell, Jesus said: "
My brother, always remember that man has no rightful authority
over woman unless the woman has willingly and voluntarily given
him such authority. Your wife has engaged to go through life
with you, to help you fight its battles, and to assume the far
greater share of the burden of bearing and rearing your children;
and in return for this special service it is only fair that
she receive from you that special protection which man can give
to woman as the partner who must carry, bear, and nurture the
children. The loving care and consideration which a man is willing
to bestow upon his wife and their children are the measure of
that man's attainment of the higher levels of creative and spiritual
self-consciousness. Do you not know that men and women are partners
with God in that they co-operate to create beings who grow up
to possess themselves of the potential of immortal souls? The
Father in heaven treats the Spirit Mother of the children of
the universe as one equal to himself. It is Godlike to share
your life and all that relates thereto on equal terms with the
mother partner who so fully shares with you that divine experience
of reproducing yourselves in the lives of your children. If
you can only love your children as God loves you, you will love
and cherish your wife as the Father in heaven honors and exalts
the Infinite Spirit, the mother of all the spirit children of
a vast universe. "
133:2.3 As they went on board the boat, they looked back upon
the scene of the teary-eyed couple standing in silent embrace.
Having heard the latter half of Jesus' message to the man, Gonod
was all day occupied with meditations thereon, and he resolved
to reorganize his home when he returned to India.
133:2.4 The journey to Nicopolis was pleasant but slow as the
wind was not favorable. The three spent many hours recounting
their experiences in Rome and reminiscing about all that had
happened to them since they first met in Jerusalem. Ganid was
becoming imbued with the spirit of personal ministry. He began
work on the steward of the ship, but on the second day, when
he got into deep religious water, he called on Joshua to help
him out.
133:2.5 They spent several days at Nicopolis, the city which
Augustus had founded some fifty years before as the " city
of victory " in commemoration of the battle of Actium,
this site being the land whereon he camped with his army before
the battle. They lodged in the home of one Jeramy, a Greek proselyte
of the Jewish faith, whom they had met on shipboard. The Apostle
Paul spent all winter with the son of Jeramy in the same house
in the course of his third missionary journey. From Nicopolis
they sailed on the same boat for Corinth, the capital of the
Roman province of Achaia.

3. At Corinth
133:3.1 By the time they reached Corinth,
Ganid was becoming very much interested in the Jewish religion,
and so it was not strange that, one day as they passed the synagogue
and saw the people going in, he requested Jesus to take him
to the service. That day they heard a learned rabbi discourse
on the " Destiny of Israel, " and after the service
they met one Crispus, the chief ruler of this synagogue. Many
times they went back to the synagogue services, but chiefly
to meet Crispus. Ganid grew to be very fond of Crispus, his
wife, and their family of five children. He much enjoyed observing
how a Jew conducted his family life.
133:3.2 While Ganid studied family life, Jesus was teaching
Crispus the better ways of religious living. Jesus held more
than twenty sessions with this forward-looking Jew; and it is
not surprising, years afterward, when Paul was preaching in
this very synagogue, and when the Jews had rejected his message
and had voted to forbid his further preaching in the synagogue,
and when he then went to the gentiles, that Crispus with his
entire family embraced the new religion, and that he became
one of the chief supports of the Christian church which Paul
subsequently organized at Corinth.
133:3.3 During the eighteen months Paul preached in Corinth,
being later joined by Silas and Timothy, he met many others
who had been taught by the " Jewish tutor of the son of
an Indian merchant. "
133:3.4 At Corinth they met people of every race hailing from
three continents. Next to Alexandria and Rome, it was the most
cosmopolitan city of the Mediterranean empire. There was much
to attract one's attention in this city, and Ganid never grew
weary of visiting the citadel which stood almost two thousand
feet above the sea. He also spent a great deal of his spare
time about the synagogue and in the home of Crispus. He was
at first shocked, and later on charmed, by the status of woman
in the Jewish home; it was a revelation to this young Indian.
133:3.5 Jesus and Ganid were often guests in another Jewish
home, that of Justus, a devout merchant, who lived alongside
the synagogue. And many times, subsequently, when the Apostle
Paul sojourned in this home, did he listen to the recounting
of these visits with the Indian lad and his Jewish tutor, while
both Paul and Justus wondered whatever became of such a wise
and brilliant Hebrew teacher.
133:3.6 When in Rome, Ganid observed that Jesus refused to accompany
them to the public baths. Several times afterward the young
man sought to induce Jesus further to express himself in regard
to the relations of the sexes. Though he would answer the lad's
questions, he never seemed disposed to discuss these subjects
at great length. One evening as they strolled about Corinth
out near where the wall of the citadel ran down to the sea,
they were accosted by two public women. Ganid had imbibed the
idea, and rightly, that Jesus was a man of high ideals, and
that he abhorred everything which partook of uncleanness or
savored of evil; accordingly he spoke sharply to these women
and rudely motioned them away. When Jesus saw this, he said
to Ganid: " You mean well, but you should not presume thus
to speak to the children of God, even though they chance to
be his erring children. Who are we that we should sit in judgment
on these women? Do you happen to know all of the circumstances
which led them to resort to such methods of obtaining a livelihood?
Stop here with me while we talk about these matters. "
The courtesans were astonished at what he said even more than
was Ganid.
133:3.7 As they stood there in the moonlight, Jesus went on
to say: " There lives within every human mind a divine
spirit, the gift of the Father in heaven. This good spirit ever
strives to lead us to God, to help us to find God and to know
God; but also within mortals there are many natural physical
tendencies which the Creator put there to serve the well-being
of the individual and the race. Now, oftentimes, men and women
become confused in their efforts to understand themselves and
to grapple with the manifold difficulties of making a living
in a world so largely dominated by selfishness and sin. I perceive,
Ganid, that neither of these women is willfully wicked. I can
tell by their faces that they have experienced much sorrow;
they have suffered much at the hands of an apparently cruel
fate; they have not intentionally chosen this sort of life;
they have, in discouragement bordering on despair, surrendered
to the pressure of the hour and accepted this distasteful means
of obtaining a livelihood as the best way out of a situation
that to them appeared hopeless. Ganid, some people are really
wicked at heart; they deliberately choose to do mean things,
but, tell me, as you look into these now tear-stained faces,
do you see anything bad or wicked¡ª" And as Jesus paused
for his reply, Ganid's voice choked up as he stammered out his
answer: " No, Teacher, I do not. And I apologize for my
rudeness to them¡ªI crave their forgiveness. " Then said
Jesus: " And I bespeak for them that they have forgiven
you as I speak for my Father in heaven that he has forgiven
them. Now all of you come with me to a friend's house where
we will seek refreshment and plan for the new and better life
ahead. " Up to this time the amazed women had not uttered
a word; they looked at each other and silently followed as the
men led the way.
133:3.8 Imagine the surprise of Justus' wife when, at this late
hour, Jesus appeared with Ganid and these two strangers, saying:
" You will forgive us for coming at this hour, but Ganid
and I desire a bite to eat, and we would share it with these
our new-found friends, who are also in need of nourishment;
and besides all this, we come to you with the thought that you
will be interested in counseling with us as to the best way
to help these women get a new start in life. They can tell you
their story, but I surmise they have had much trouble, and their
very presence here in your house testifies how earnestly they
crave to know good people, and how willingly they will embrace
the opportunity to show all the world-and even the angels of
heaven-what brave and noble women they can become. "
133:3.9 When Martha, Justus' wife, had spread the food on the
table, Jesus, taking unexpected leave of them, said: "
As it is getting late, and since the young man's father will
be awaiting us, we pray to be excused while we leave you here
together-three women-the beloved children of the Most High.
And I will pray for your spiritual guidance while you make plans
for a new and better life on earth and eternal life in the great
beyond."
133:3.10 Thus did Jesus and Ganid take leave of the women. So
far the two courtesans had said nothing; likewise was Ganid
speechless. And for a few moments so was Martha, but presently
she rose to the occasion and did everything for these strangers
that Jesus had hoped for. The elder of these two women died
a short time thereafter, with bright hopes of eternal survival,
and the younger woman worked at Justus' place of business and
later became a lifelong member of the first Christian church
in Corinth.
133:3.11 Several times in the home of Crispus, Jesus and Ganid
met one Gaius, who subsequently became a loyal supporter of
Paul. During these two months in Corinth they held intimate
conversations with scores of worth-while individuals, and as
a result of all these apparently casual contacts more than half
of the individuals so affected became members of the subsequent
Christian community.
133:3.12 When Paul first went to Corinth, he had not intended
to make a prolonged visit. But he did not know how well the
Jewish tutor had prepared the way for his labors. And further,
he discovered that great interest had already been aroused by
Aquila and Priscilla, Aquila being one of the Cynics with whom
Jesus had come in contact when in Rome. This couple were Jewish
refugees from Rome, and they quickly embraced Paul's teachings.
He lived with them and worked with them, for they were also
tentmakers. It was because of these circumstances that Paul
prolonged his stay in Corinth.

4. Personal
Work in Corinth
133:4.1 Jesus and Ganid had many more interesting
experiences in Corinth. They had close converse with a great
number of persons who greatly profited by the instruction received
from Jesus.
133:4.2 The miller he taught about grinding up the grains of
truth in the mill of living experience so as to render the difficult
things of divine life readily receivable by even the weak and
feeble among one's fellow mortals. Said Jesus: " Give the
milk of truth to those who are babes in spiritual perception.
In your living and loving ministry serve spiritual food in attractive
form and suited to the capacity of receptivity of each of your
inquirers. "
133:4.3 To the Roman centurion he said: " Render unto Caesar
the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things which
are God's. The sincere service of God and the loyal service
of Caesar do not conflict unless Caesar should presume to arrogate
to himself that homage which alone can be claimed by Deity.
Loyalty to God, if you should come to know him, would render
you all the more loyal and faithful in your devotion to a worthy
emperor. "
133:4.4 To the earnest leader of the Mithraic cult he said:
" You do well to seek for a religion of eternal salvation,
but you err to go in quest of such a glorious truth among man-made
mysteries and human philosophies. Know you not that the mystery
of eternal salvation dwells within your own soul? Do you not
know that the God of heaven has sent his spirit to live within
you, and that this spirit will lead all truth-loving and God-serving
mortals out of this life and through the portals of death up
to the eternal heights of light where God waits to receive his
children? And never forget: You who know God are the sons of
God if you truly yearn to be like him. "
133:4.5 To the Epicurean teacher he said: " You do well
to choose the best and esteem the good, but are you wise when
you fail to discern the greater things of mortal life which
are embodied in the spirit realms derived from the realization
of the presence of God in the human heart? The great thing in
all human experience is the realization of knowing the God whose
spirit lives within you and seeks to lead you forth on that
long and almost endless journey of attaining the personal presence
of our common Father, the God of all creation, the Lord of universes.
"
133:4.6 To the Greek contractor and builder he said: "
My friend, as you build the material structures of men, grow
a spiritual character in the similitude of the divine spirit
within your soul. Do not let your achievement as a temporal
builder outrun your attainment as a spiritual son of the kingdom
of heaven. While you build the mansions of time for another,
neglect not to secure your title to the mansions of eternity
for yourself. Ever remember, there is a city whose foundations
are righteousness and truth, and whose builder and maker is
God. "
133:4.7 To the Roman judge he said: " As you judge men,
remember that you yourself will also some day come to judgment
before the bar of the Rulers of a universe. Judge justly, even
mercifully, even as you shall some day thus crave merciful consideration
at the hands of the Supreme Arbiter. Judge as you would be judged
under similar circumstances, thus being guided by the spirit
of the law as well as by its letter. And even as you accord
justice dominated by fairness in the light of the need of those
who are brought before you, so shall you have the right to expect
justice tempered by mercy when you sometime stand before the
Judge of all the earth. "
133:4.8 To the mistress of the Greek inn he said: " Minister
your hospitality as one who entertains the children of the Most
High. Elevate the drudgery of your daily toil to the high levels
of a fine art through the increasing realization that you minister
to God in the persons whom he indwells by his spirit which has
descended to live within the hearts of men, thereby seeking
to transform their minds and lead their souls to the knowledge
of the Paradise Father of all these bestowed gifts of the divine
spirit. "
133:4.9 Jesus had many visits with a Chinese merchant. In saying
good-bye, he admonished him: " Worship only God, who is
your true spirit ancestor. Remember that the Father's spirit
ever lives within you and always points your soul-direction
heavenward. If you follow the unconscious leadings of this immortal
spirit, you are certain to continue on in the uplifted way of
finding God. And when you do attain the Father in heaven, it
will be because by seeking him you have become more and more
like him. And so farewell, Chang, but only for a season, for
we shall meet again in the worlds of light where the Father
of spirit souls has provided many delightful stopping-places
for those who are Paradise-bound. "
133:4.10 To the traveler from Britain he said: " My brother,
I perceive you are seeking for truth, and I suggest that the
spirit of the Father of all truth may chance to dwell within
you. Did you ever sincerely endeavor to talk with the spirit
of your own soul? Such a thing is indeed difficult and seldom
yields consciousness of success; but every honest attempt of
the material mind to communicate with its indwelling spirit
meets with certain success, notwithstanding that the majority
of all such magnificent human experiences must long remain as
superconscious registrations in the souls of such God-knowing
mortals. "
133:4.11 To the runaway lad Jesus said: " Remember, there
are two things you cannot run away from-God and yourself. Wherever
you may go, you take with you yourself and the spirit of the
heavenly Father which lives within your heart. My son, stop
trying to deceive yourself; settle down to the courageous practice
of facing the facts of life; lay firm hold on the assurances
of sonship with God and the certainty of eternal life, as I
have instructed you. From this day on purpose to be a real man,
a man determined to face life bravely and intelligently. "
133:4.12 To the condemned criminal he said at the last hour:
" My brother, you have fallen on evil times. You lost your
way; you became entangled in the meshes of crime. From talking
to you, I well know you did not plan to do the thing which is
about to cost you your temporal life. But you did do this evil,
and your fellows have adjudged you guilty; they have determined
that you shall die. You or I may not deny the state this right
of self-defense in the manner of its own choosing. There seems
to be no way of humanly escaping the penalty of your wrongdoing.
Your fellows must judge you by what you did, but there is a
Judge to whom you may appeal for forgiveness, and who will judge
you by your real motives and better intentions. You need not
fear to meet the judgment of God if your repentance is genuine
and your faith sincere. The fact that your error carries with
it the death penalty imposed by man does not prejudice the chance
of your soul to obtain justice and enjoy mercy before the heavenly
courts. "
133:4.13 Jesus enjoyed many intimate talks with a large number
of hungry souls, too many to find a place in this record. The
three travelers enjoyed their sojourn in Corinth. Excepting
Athens, which was more renowned as an educational center, Corinth
was the most important city in Greece during these Roman times,
and their two months' stay in this thriving commercial center
afforded opportunity for all three of them to gain much valuable
experience. Their sojourn in this city was one of the most interesting
of all their stops on the way back from Rome.
133:4.14 Gonod had many interests in Corinth, but finally his
business was finished, and they prepared to sail for Athens.
They traveled on a small boat which could be carried overland
on a land track from one of Corinth's harbors to the other,
a distance of ten miles.

5. At Athens¡ªDiscourse
on Science
133:5.1 They shortly arrived at the olden
center of Greek science and learning, and Ganid was thrilled
with the thought of being in Athens, of being in Greece, the
cultural center of the onetime Alexandrian empire, which had
extended its borders even to his own land of India. There was
little business to transact; so Gonod spent most of his time
with Jesus and Ganid, visiting the many points of interest and
listening to the interesting discussions of the lad and his
versatile teacher.
133:5.2 A great university still thrived in Athens, and the
trio made frequent visits to its halls of learning. Jesus and
Ganid had thoroughly discussed the teachings of Plato when they
attended the lectures in the museum at Alexandria. They all
enjoyed the art of Greece, examples of which were still to be
found here and there about the city.
133:5.3 Both the father and the son greatly enjoyed the discussion
on science which Jesus had at their inn one evening with a Greek
philosopher. After this pedant had talked for almost three hours,
and when he had finished his discourse, Jesus, in terms of modern
thought, said:
133:5.4 Scientists may some day measure the energy, or force
manifestations, of gravitation, light, and electricity, but
these same scientists can never (scientifically) tell you what
these universe phenomena are. Science deals with physical-energy
activities; religion deals with eternal values. True philosophy
grows out of the wisdom which does its best to correlate these
quantitative and qualitative observations. There always exists
the danger that the purely physical scientist may become afflicted
with mathematical pride and statistical egotism, not to mention
spiritual blindness.
133:5.5 Logic is valid in the material world, and mathematics
is reliable when limited in its application to physical things;
but neither is to be regarded as wholly dependable or infallible
when applied to life problems. Life embraces phenomena which
are not wholly material. Arithmetic says that, if one man could
shear a sheep in ten minutes, ten men could shear it in one
minute. That is sound mathematics, but it is not true, for the
ten men could not so do it; they would get in one another's
way so badly that the work would be greatly delayed.
133:5.6 Mathematics asserts that, if one person stands for a
certain unit of intellectual and moral value, ten persons would
stand for ten times this value. But in dealing with human personality
it would be nearer the truth to say that such a personality
association is a sum equal to the square of the number of personalities
concerned in the equation rather than the simple arithmetical
sum. A social group of human beings in co-ordinated working
harmony stands for a force far greater than the simple sum of
its parts.
133:5.7 Quantity may be identified as a fact, thus becoming
a scientific uniformity. Quality, being a matter of mind interpretation,
represents an estimate of values, and must, therefore, remain
an experience of the individual. When both science and religion
become less dogmatic and more tolerant of criticism, philosophy
will then begin to achieve unity in the intelligent comprehension
of the universe.
133:5.8 There is unity in the cosmic universe if you could only
discern its workings in actuality. The real universe is friendly
to every child of the eternal God. The real problem is: How
can the finite mind of man achieve a logical, true, and corresponding
unity of thought? This universe-knowing state of mind can be
had only by conceiving that the quantitative fact and the qualitative
value have a common causation in the Paradise Father. Such a
conception of reality yields a broader insight into the purposeful
unity of universe phenomena; it even reveals a spiritual goal
of progressive personality achievement. And this is a concept
of unity which can sense the unchanging background of a living
universe of continually changing impersonal relations and evolving
personal relationships.
133:5.9 Matter and spirit and the state intervening between
them are three interrelated and interassociated levels of the
true unity of the real universe. Regardless of how divergent
the universe phenomena of fact and value may appear to be, they
are, after all, unified in the Supreme.
133:5.10 Reality of material existence attaches to unrecognized
energy as well as to visible matter. When the energies of the
universe are so slowed down that they acquire the requisite
degree of motion, then, under favorable conditions, these same
energies become mass. And forget not, the mind which can alone
perceive the presence of apparent realities is itself also real.
And the fundamental cause of this universe of energy-mass, mind,
and spirit, is eternal¡ªit exists and consists in the nature
and reactions of the Universal Father and his absolute co-ordinates.
133:5.11 They were all more than astounded at the words of Jesus,
and when the Greek took leave of them, he said: " At last
my eyes have beheld a Jew who thinks something besides racial
superiority and talks something besides religion. " And
they retired for the night.
133:5.12 The sojourn in Athens was pleasant and profitable,
but it was not particularly fruitful in its human contacts.
Too many of the Athenians of that day were either intellectually
proud of their reputation of another day or mentally stupid
and ignorant, being the offspring of the inferior slaves of
those earlier periods when there was glory in Greece and wisdom
in the minds of its people. Even then, there were still many
keen minds to be found among the citizens of Athens.

6. At Ephesus¡ªDiscourse
on the Soul
133:6.1 On leaving Athens, the travelers
went by way of Troas to Ephesus, the capital of the Roman province
of Asia. They made many trips out to the famous temple of Artemis
of the Ephesians, about two miles from the city. Artemis was
the most famous goddess of all Asia Minor and a perpetuation
of the still earlier mother goddess of ancient Anatolian times.
The crude idol exhibited in the enormous temple dedicated to
her worship was reputed to have fallen from heaven. Not all
of Ganid's early training to respect images as symbols of divinity
had been eradicated, and he thought it best to purchase a little
silver shrine in honor of this fertility goddess of Asia Minor.
That night they talked at great length about the worship of
things made with human hands.
133:6.2 On the third day of their stay they walked down by the
river to observe the dredging of the harbor's mouth. At noon
they talked with a young Phoenician who was homesick and much
discouraged; but most of all he was envious of a certain young
man who had received promotion over his head. Jesus spoke comforting
words to him and quoted the olden Hebrew proverb: " A man's
gift makes room for him and brings him before great men. "
133:6.3 Of all the large cities they visited on this tour of
the Mediterranean, they here accomplished the least of value
to the subsequent work of the Christian missionaries. Christianity
secured its start in Ephesus largely through the efforts of
Paul, who resided here more than two years, making tents for
a living and conducting lectures on religion and philosophy
each night in the main audience chamber of the school of Tyrannus.
133:6.4 There was a progressive thinker connected with this
local school of philosophy, and Jesus had several profitable
sessions with him. In the course of these talks Jesus had repeatedly
used the word " soul. " This learned Greek finally
asked him what he meant by " soul, " and he replied:
133:6.5 "The soul is the self-reflective, truth-discerning,
and spirit-perceiving part of man which forever elevates the
human being above the level of the animal world. Self-consciousness,
in and of itself, is not the soul. Moral self-consciousness
is true human self-realization and constitutes the foundation
of the human soul, and the soul is that part of man which represents
the potential survival value of human experience. Moral choice
and spiritual attainment, the ability to know God and the urge
to be like him, are the characteristics of the soul. The soul
of man cannot exist apart from moral thinking and spiritual
activity. A stagnant soul is a dying soul. But the soul of man
is distinct from the divine spirit which dwells within the mind.
The divine spirit arrives simultaneously with the first moral
activity of the human mind, and that is the occasion of the
birth of the soul.
133:6.6 "The saving or losing of a soul has to do with
whether or not the moral consciousness attains survival status
through eternal alliance with its associated immortal spirit
endowment. Salvation is the spiritualization of the self-realization
of the moral consciousness, which thereby becomes possessed
of survival value. All forms of soul conflict consist in the
lack of harmony between the moral, or spiritual, self-consciousness
and the purely intellectual self-consciousness.
133:6.7 "The human soul, when matured, ennobled, and spiritualized,
approaches the heavenly status in that it comes near to being
an entity intervening between the material and the spiritual,
the material self and the divine spirit. The evolving soul of
a human being is difficult of description and more difficult
of demonstration because it is not discoverable by the methods
of either material investigation or spiritual proving. Material
science cannot demonstrate the existence of a soul, neither
can pure spirit-testing. Notwithstanding the failure of both
material science and spiritual standards to discover the existence
of the human soul, every morally conscious mortal knows of the
existence of his soul as a real and actual personal experience."

7. The Sojourn at Cyprus¡ªDiscourse
on Mind
133:7.1 Shortly the travelers set sail for Cyprus, stopping
at Rhodes. They enjoyed the long water voyage and arrived at
their island destination much rested in body and refreshed in
spirit.
133:7.2 It was their plan to enjoy a period of real rest and
play on this visit to Cyprus as their tour of the Mediterranean
was drawing to a close. They landed at Paphos and at once began
the assembly of supplies for their sojourn of several weeks
in the near-by mountains. On the third day after their arrival
they started for the hills with their well-loaded pack animals.
133:7.3 For two weeks the trio greatly enjoyed themselves, and
then, without warning, young Ganid was suddenly taken grievously
ill. For two weeks he suffered from a raging fever, oftentimes
becoming delirious; both Jesus and Gonod were kept busy attending
the sick boy. Jesus skillfully and tenderly cared for the lad,
and the father was amazed by both the gentleness and adeptness
manifested in all his ministry to the afflicted youth. They
were far from human habitations, and the boy was too ill to
be moved; so they prepared as best they could to nurse him back
to health right there in the mountains.
133:7.4 During Ganid's convalescence of three weeks Jesus told
him many interesting things about nature and her various moods.
And what fun they had as they wandered over the mountains, the
boy asking questions, Jesus answering them, and the father marveling
at the whole performance.
133:7.5 The last week of their sojourn in the mountains Jesus
and Ganid had a long talk on the functions of the human mind.
After several hours of discussion the lad asked this question:
" But, Teacher, what do you mean when you say that man
experiences a higher form of self-consciousness than do the
higher animals? " And as restated in modern phraseology,
Jesus answered:
133:7.6 My son, I have already told you much about the mind
of man and the divine spirit that lives therein, but now let
me emphasize that self-consciousness is a reality. When any
animal becomes self-conscious, it becomes a primitive man. Such
an attainment results from a co-ordination of function between
impersonal energy and spirit-conceiving mind, and it is this
phenomenon which warrants the bestowal of an absolute focal
point for the human personality, the spirit of the Father in
heaven.
133:7.7 Ideas are not simply a record of sensations; ideas are
sensations plus the reflective interpretations of the personal
self; and the self is more than the sum of one's sensations.
There begins to be something of an approach to unity in an evolving
selfhood, and that unity is derived from the indwelling presence
of a part of absolute unity which spiritually activates such
a self-conscious animal-origin mind.
133:7.8 No mere animal could possess a time self-consciousness.
Animals possess a physiological co-ordination of associated
sensation-recognition and memory thereof, but none experience
a meaningful recognition of sensation or exhibit a purposeful
association of these combined physical experiences such as is
manifested in the conclusions of intelligent and reflective
human interpretations. And this fact of self-conscious existence,
associated with the reality of his subsequent spiritual experience,
constitutes man a potential son of the universe and foreshadows
his eventual attainment of the Supreme Unity of the universe.
133:7.9 Neither is the human self merely the sum of the successive
states of consciousness. Without the effective functioning of
a consciousness sorter and associater there would not exist
sufficient unity to warrant the designation of a selfhood. Such
an ununified mind could hardly attain conscious levels of human
status. If the associations of consciousness were just an accident,
the minds of all men would then exhibit the uncontrolled and
random associations of certain phases of mental madness.
133:7.10 A human mind, built up solely out of the consciousness
of physical sensations, could never attain spiritual levels;
this kind of material mind would be utterly lacking in a sense
of moral values and would be without a guiding sense of spiritual
dominance which is so essential to achieving harmonious personality
unity in time, and which is inseparable from personality survival
in eternity.
133:7.11 The human mind early begins to manifest qualities which
are supermaterial; the truly reflective human intellect is not
altogether bound by the limits of time. That individuals so
differ in their life performances indicates, not only the varying
endowments of heredity and the different influences of the environment,
but also the degree of unification with the indwelling spirit
of the Father which has been achieved by the self, the measure
of the identification of the one with the other.
133:7.12 The human mind does not well stand the conflict of
double allegiance. It is a severe strain on the soul to undergo
the experience of an effort to serve both good and evil. The
supremely happy and efficiently unified mind is the one wholly
dedicated to the doing of the will of the Father in heaven.
Unresolved conflicts destroy unity and may terminate in mind
disruption. But the survival character of a soul is not fostered
by attempting to secure peace of mind at any price, by the surrender
of noble aspirations, and by the compromise of spiritual ideals;
rather is such peace attained by the stalwart assertion of the
triumph of that which is true, and this victory is achieved
in the overcoming of evil with the potent force of good.
133:7.13 The next day they departed for Salamis, where they
embarked for Antioch on the Syrian coast.

8. At Antioch
133:8.1 Antioch was the capital of the Roman
province of Syria, and here the imperial governor had his residence.
Antioch had half a million inhabitants; it was the third city
of the empire in size and the first in wickedness and flagrant
immorality. Gonod had considerable business to transact; so
Jesus and Ganid were much by themselves. They visited everything
about this polyglot city except the grove of Daphne. Gonod and
Ganid visited this notorious shrine of shame, but Jesus declined
to accompany them. Such scenes were not so shocking to Indians,
but they were repellent to an idealistic Hebrew.
133:8.2 Jesus became sober and reflective as he drew nearer
Palestine and the end of their journey. He visited with few
people in Antioch; he seldom went about in the city. After much
questioning as to why his teacher manifested so little interest
in Antioch, Ganid finally induced Jesus to say: " This
city is not far from Palestine; maybe I shall come back here
sometime. "
133:8.3 Ganid had a very interesting experience in Antioch.
This young man had proved himself an apt pupil and already had
begun to make practical use of some of Jesus' teachings. There
was a certain Indian connected with his father's business in
Antioch who had become so unpleasant and disgruntled that his
dismissal had been considered. When Ganid heard this, he betook
himself to his father's place of business and held a long conference
with his fellow countryman. This man felt he had been put at
the wrong job. Ganid told him about the Father in heaven and
in many ways expanded his views of religion. But of all that
Ganid said, the quotation of a Hebrew proverb did the most good,
and that word of wisdom was: " Whatsoever your hand finds
to do, do that with all your might. "
133:8.4 After preparing their luggage for the camel caravan,
they passed on down to Sidon and thence over to Damascus, and
after three days they made ready for the long trek across the
desert sands.

9. In Mesopotamia
133:9.1 The caravan trip across the desert
was not a new experience for these much-traveled men. After
Ganid had watched his teacher help with the loading of their
twenty camels and observed him volunteer to drive their own
animal, he exclaimed, " Teacher, is there anything that
you cannot do? " Jesus only smiled, saying, " The
teacher surely is not without honor in the eyes of a diligent
pupil. " And so they set forth for the ancient city of
Ur.
133:9.2 Jesus was much interested in the early history of Ur,
the birthplace of Abraham, and he was equally fascinated with
the ruins and traditions of Susa, so much so that Gonod and
Ganid extended their stay in these parts three weeks in order
to afford Jesus more time to conduct his investigations and
also to provide the better opportunity to persuade him to go
back to India with them.
133:9.3 It was at Ur that Ganid had a long talk with Jesus regarding
the difference between knowledge, wisdom, and truth. And he
was greatly charmed with the saying of the Hebrew wise man:
" Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom.
With all your quest for knowledge, get understanding. Exalt
wisdom and she will promote you. She will bring you to honor
if you will but embrace her. "
133:9.4 At last the day came for the separation. They were all
brave, especially the lad, but it was a trying ordeal. They
were tearful of eye but courageous of heart. In bidding his
teacher farewell, Ganid said: " Farewell, Teacher, but
not forever. When I come again to Damascus, I will look for
you. I love you, for I think the Father in heaven must be something
like you; at least I know you are much like what you have told
me about him. I will remember your teaching, but most of all,
I will never forget you. " Said the father, " Farewell
to a great teacher, one who has made us better and helped us
to know God. " And Jesus replied, " Peace be upon
you, and may the blessing of the Father in heaven ever abide
with you. " And Jesus stood on the shore and watched as
the small boat carried them out to their anchored ship. Thus
the Master left his friends from India at Charax, never to see
them again in this world; nor were they, in this world, ever
to know that the man who later appeared as Jesus of Nazareth
was this same friend they had just taken leave of-Joshua their
teacher.
133:9.5 In India, Ganid grew up to become an influential man,
a worthy successor of his eminent father, and he spread abroad
many of the noble truths which he had learned from Jesus, his
beloved teacher. Later on in life, when Ganid heard of the strange
teacher in Palestine who terminated his career on a cross, though
he recognized the similarity between the gospel of this Son
of Man and the teachings of his Jewish tutor, it never occurred
to him that these two were actually the same person.
133:9.6 Thus ended that chapter in the life of the Son of Man
which might be termed: The mission of Joshua the teacher.
