Be aware of your timelessness for all is endlessly one.
If Jesus hadn’t performed accompanying miracles his teachings would have been regarded as the ramblings of just another madman fanatic of his period. People were afraid of his words and actions. But they were compelled to listen to him to appease the more immediate fear of his ability to command matter. His disciples were simple men trying to comprehend ideas that were just too far beyond them. They compromised on interpretation in order to make the meanings more acceptable. They wrote everything as literally as they could but to fully interpret Jesus’ words and actions into written gospel required more than simple faith. It depended on information. There was no information to back up the words and this is why Jesus himself did not commit his words to written form - he gave his best and we all know the story.
All subsequent attempts at interpretation are erroneous because it is not possible to put a proper spin on truth without understanding that time is a function of relative agreements. It is reasonable to assume that Jesus understood the nature of time and may possibly have used such similar words as ‘be aware of your timelessness for all is endlessly one’ only to have the meaning misinterpreted and filtered possibly to become the innocuous phrase ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’. Although this is exactly what we must learn, the words nonetheless lack meaning because they do not state why it serves our advantage to obey them - just that we should.
We need to know why it is important to love one another. We need to know the physical dynamic of how Love works so that we will be better able to cooperate with our own perfection. Unfortunately, although the information on inter-relation and cooperation has been with us for some time, our need to control has rendered it so sugar-coated with complexity that it remains hidden despite being in full view. The purpose of life is to re-discover Love and the complexity required for this quest is a personal limitation. The conclusion of each individual’s quest will always boil down to the realization that everything re-creates constantly from one source to become trapped within a vast complexity of agreements. Complexity and ignorance are one and the same and we can only eliminate this ignorance by seeing through the hold our complex agreements have on our experience.
I think there lies the problem. God didn’t come down to earth to find interpreters for his words. He came down here to speak to us personally in simple words that could be easily understood. Hence, those who look for secret and hidden meanings within his words, are those who have heard, but did not listen. He told his apostles to spread his words, not to tell people what they think he really meant by them. For only God could speak to everyone, and yet to each us personally, at the same time.
