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.
