The Parable of Christ
There are two kinds
of people in the world:
they who serve a kingdom without
- they who follow a christ without -
and they who seek the kingdom within;
- they who find the christ within -
one is true, one is false.
Who do "they" say,
then, is this
"Jesus the Christ"?
They say he's a man
who died on the cross;
as God in the flesh
- to absolve all sins -
for all mankind.
This "Jesus the Christ"
has already made
the sacrifice;
this is what "they" say.
I say: would not then
the christ without
be they who deny themselves;
and follow this "Jesus the Christ"
who already made
the sacrifice?
"Lest any man
deny himself
and follow me
and take up
his own cross daily."
To follow
the mold
of an man
- a christ without -
is to live and die
for a christ without.
For each is himself
his own christ,
so let him seek
the christ within.
For when all the Word
is said and done:
the truth is in the sun
- its way about the sky -
so make it the life
and be it the light
contained in thine own eye.
The Word made flesh
- to be as a a sign -
for all of mankind.
The christ is in the Father
The Father is in the sun
and the sun
you perceive
is within you."
There are two kinds
of people in the world:
they who serve a kingdom without
- they who follow a christ without -
and they who seek the kingdom within;
- they who find the christ within -
The former is false, the latter is true:
The Kingdom of Heaven
- very truly -
is within you.
