# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 98

The Sermon on the Mount, continued. Jesus reveals to the twelve the spiritual aspects of the seventh, eight and tenth Commandments.
1. The law forbids adultery; but in the eyes of law adultery is an overt act, the satisfaction of the sensuous self outside the marriage bonds.
2. Now, marriage in the sight of law is but a promise made by man and woman, by the sanction of a priest, to live for aye in harmony and love.
3. No priest nor officer has power from God to bind two souls in wedded love.
4. What is the marriage tie? Is it comprised in what a priest or officer may say?
5. Is it the scroll on which the officer or priest has written the permission for the two to live in marriage bonds?
6. Is it the promise of the two that they will love each other until death?
7. Is love a passion that is subject to the will of man?
8. Can man pick up his love, as he would pick up precious gems, and lay it down, or give it out to any one?
9. Can love be bought and sold like sheep?
10. Love is the power of God that binds two souls and makes them one; there is no power on earth that can dissolve the bond.
11. The bodies may be forced apart by man or death for just a little time; but they will meet again.
12. Now, in this bond of God we find the marriage tie; all other unions are but bonds of straw, and they who live in them commit adultery.
13. The same as they who satisfy their lust without the sanction of an officer or priest.
14. But more than this; the man or woman who indulges lustful thoughts commits adultery.
15. Whom God has joined together man cannot part; whom man has joined together live in sin.
16. Upon a table of the law, the great lawgiver wrote, Thou shalt not steal.
17. Before the eyes of law a man to steal must take a thing that can be seen with eyes of flesh, without the knowledge or consent of him to whom the thing belongs.
18. But, lo, I say that he who in his heart desires to possess that which is not his own, and would deprive the owner of the thing without his knowledge or consent, is in the sight of God, a thief.
19. The things that men see not with eyes of flesh are of more worth than are the things that man can see.
20. A man's good name is worth a thousand mines of gold, and he who says a word or does a deed that injures or defames that name has taken what is not his own, and is a thief.
21. Upon a table of the law we also read: Thou shalt not covet anything.
22. To covet is an all-consuming wish to have what is not right for one to have.
23. And such a wish, within the spirit of the law, is theft.
# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 94

The Sermon on the Mount. Jesus reveals to the twelve the secret of prayer. The model prayer. The law of forgiveness. The holy fast. The evil of deceit. Almsgiving.
1. Next morning ere the sun had risen Jesus and the twelve went to a mountain near the sea to pray; and Jesus taught the twelve disciples how to pray. He said,
2. Prayer is the deep communion of the soul with God;
3. So when you pray do not deceive yourselves as do the hypocrites who love to stand upon the streets and in the synagogues and pour out many words to please the ears of men.
4. And they adorn themselves with pious airs that they may have the praise of men. They seek the praise of men and their reward is sure.
5. But when you pray, go to the closet of your soul; close all the doors, and in the holy silence, pray.
6. You need not speak a multitude of words, nor yet repeat the words again and then again, as heathen do. Just say,
7. Our Father-God who art in heaven; holy is thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
8. Give us this day our needed bread;
9. Help us forget the debts that other people owe to us, that all our debts may be discharged.
10. And shield us from the tempter's snares that are too great for us to bear;
11. And when they come give us the strength to overcome.
12. If you would be discharged from all the debts you owe to God and man, the debts you have incurred by wilfully transgressing law,
13. You must pass by the debts of every man; for as you deal with other men your God will deal with you.
14. And when you fast you may not advertise the deed.
15. When fast the hypocrites they paint their faces, look demure, assume a pious pose, that they may seem to men to fast.
16. A fast is deed of soul, and like a prayer, it is a function of the silence of the soul.
17. God never passes by unnoticed any prayer, or fast. He walks within the silence, and his benedictions rest on every effort of the soul.
18. Deception is hypocrisy, and you shall not assume to be what you are not.
19. You may not clothe yourselves in special garb to advertise your piety, nor yet assume the tone of voice that men conceive to be a holy voice.
20. And when you give to aid the needy ones, blow not a trumpet in the street, nor a synagogue to advertise your gift.
21. He who does alms for praise of men has his reward from men; but God regardeth not.
22. In giving alms do not let the right hand know the secret of the left.
# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 96

The Sermon on the Mount, continued. Jesus considers the Ten Commandments. The philosophy of Christ the spirit of the Commandments. Jesus unfolds the spiritual aspects of the first four Commandments.
1. God gave the Ten Commandments unto men; upon the mountain Moses saw the words of God; he wrote them down on solid rock; they cannot be destroyed.
2. These Ten Commandments show the justice side of God; but now the love of God made manifest brings mercy on the wings of Holy Breath.
3. Upon the unity of God the law was built. In all the world there is one force; Jehovah is Almighty God.
4. Jehovah wrote upon the heavens and Moses read,
5. I am Almighty God and you shall have no God but me.
6. There is one force, but many phases of that force; these phases men call powers.
7. All powers are of God; and they are manifests of God; they are Spirits of the God.
8. If men could seem to find another force and worship at its shrine, they would but court illusion, vain,
9. A shadow of the One, Jehovah, God, and they who worship shadows are but shadows on the wall; for men are what court.
10. And God would have all men to be the substance, and in mercy he commanded, You shall seek no God but me.
11. And finite men can never comprehend infinite things. Man cannot make an image of the Infinite in force.
12. And when men make a God of stone or wood or clay they make an image of a shade; and they who worship at the shrine of shades are shades.
13. So God in mercy said, You shall not carve out images of wood, or clay, or stone.
14. Such idols are ideals, abased ideals, and men can gain no higher plane than their ideals.
15. The God is Spirit men must worship if they would attain a consciousness of God.
16. But man can never make a picture or an image of the Holy Breath.
17. The name of God man may not speak with carnal lips; with Holy Breath alone can man pronounce the name.
18. In vanity men think they know the name of God; they speak it lightly and irreverently, and thus they are accursed.
19. If men did know the sacred name and spoke it with unholy lips, they would not live to speak it once again.
20. But God in mercy has not yet unveiled his name to those who cannot speak with Holy Breath.
21. But they who speak the substitute in idle way are guilty in the sight of God, who said,
22. You shall not take the name of God in vain.
23. The number of the Holy Breath is seven, and God holds in his hands the sevens of time.
24. In forming worlds he rested on the seventh day, and every seventh day is set apart as Sabbath day for men. God said,
25. The seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; remember it and keep it wholly set apart for works of holiness; that is, for works not for the selfish self, but for the universal self.
26. Men may do work for self upon the six days of the week; but on the Sabbath of the Lord they must do naught for self.
27. This day is consecrated unto God; but man serves God by serving man.
# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 99

The Sermon on the Mount, continued. Jesus unfolds to the twelve the spiritual aspects of the ninth Commandment.
1. The law has said: Thou shalt not lie; but in the eyes of law a man to lie must tell in words what is not true.
2. Now, in the light of spirit law, deceit in any form is nothing but a lie.
3. A man may lie by look or act; yea, even by his silence may deceive, and thus be guilty in the eyes of Holy Breath.
4. It has been said in olden times: Thou shalt not swear by thine own life.
5. But, lo, I say, Swear not at all; not by the head, the heart, the eye, nor hand; not by the sun, the moon, nor stars;
6. Not by the name of God, nor by the name of any spirit, good or bad.
7. You shall not swear by anything; for in an oath there is no gain.
8. A man whose word must be propped up by oath of any kind is not trustworthy in the sight of God or man.
9. By oath you cannot make a leaf to fall, nor turn the colour of a hair.
10. The man of worth just speaks and men know that he speaks the truth.
11. The man who pours out many words to make think he speaks the truth, is simply making smoke to hide a lie.
12. And there are many men with seeming double hearts; men who would serve two masters at a time—two masters quite adverse.
13. Men feign to worship God upon the Sabbath day and then pay court to Beelzebul on every other day.
14. No man can serve two masters at a time no more than he can ride two asses at a time that go in different ways.
15. The man who feigns to worship God and Beelzebul is foe of God, a pious devil and a curse of men.
16. And men cannot lay treasures up in heaven and earth at once.
17. Then, lo, I say, Lift up your eyes and see the safety vaults of heaven, and there deposit every gem.
18. Where moth and rust cannot corrupt; where thieves cannot break in and steal.
19. There are no safety vaults on earth; no place secure from moth, and rust and thieves.
20. The treasures of the earth are but illusive things that pass away.
21. Be not deceived; your treasures are the anchor of the soul, and where your treasures are your heart will be.
22. Fix not your heart upon the things of earth; be anxious not about the things to eat, or drink or wear.
23. God cares for those who trust in him and serve the race.
24. Behold the birds! They praise God in their songs; the earth is made more glorious by their ministry of joy; God keeps them in the hollow of his hand,
25. And not a sparrow falls to earth without his care; and every one that falls shall rise again.
26. Behold the flowers of earth! they trust in God and grow; they make the earth resplendent with their beauty and perfume.
27. Look at the lilies of the field, the messengers of holy love. No son of man, not even Solomon in all his excellence, was ever clothed like one of these.
28. And yet they simply trust in God; they feed from out his hand; they lay their heads to rest upon his breast.
29. If God so clothes and feeds the flowers and birds that do his will, will he not feed and clothe his children when they trust in him?
30. Seek first the kingdom of the soul, the righteousness of God, the good of men, and feed, and clothe.
