Part 1
«He who has ears let him hear»
Over a year ago I wrote a blog about the Sermon on the Mount, now it's time for me at least understand it, analyze the impact of the commandments given by Jesus. During meditation come to the conclusion that consciousness seems limitless. Development of his limitless. After reading the same text of the Sermon at different points in life, you see it differently. More specifically, each time understanding becomes wider and more varied. Comes to understanding why all the great thinkers have expressed their teachings in the capacious, but not understandable to the ordinary mind phrases. So there were all known to Aristotle and Pythagoras, Jesus, Mohammed and others. He who has ears let him hear.
value of Christ's teachings emphasized by many great people, including Tolstoy believed that happiness on earth depends solely on the implementation of the teachings of Christ that the implementation of this doctrine is not only possible but also easy to and filled with joy. Happiness, he teaches, it's love for all people, union with them, and evil - is a violation of such unity. Love and unity are the natural the human condition in which there are all the people who are not astray false teachings.
name itself - Sermon - hides symbol. The spiritual path is similar to climbing a mountain, full disclosure of all energy centers, including their crown Sahasrara - the crown of expanded consciousness - is Spiritual Initiation. The man who reveals all his points - Enlightened people.
Thus, Jesus "went up the mountain, and prophesied out his sermon. Very sermon can be divided into two parts. In the first part of Jesus gives the commandment of the bliss, the second part explains and supplements from a position of absolute love some Old Testament commandments given to the Jews by Moses. In the Gospel of the Essenes mentioned that the commandments of Moses were simplified and multiplied to the people it was easier perceive them.
506. And Jesus replied: - God gave through Moses the ten commandments to your forefathers.
507. "These commandments are hard," - said they could not hold them back.
508. When Moses saw this, he was filled with compassion for his people, and he wanted his death.
509. And he gave them ten times ten commandments.
510. For he whose feet are strong as Mountain does not need crutches, but he whose members are shaking, with the help of crutches moves better than without them.
511. And Moses said unto the Lord: "My heart is full of sorrow, For my people perish.
512. Because they lack knowledge and can not understand them thy commandments.
513. They are like small children who still can not understand the words of his father.
514. Let me, O Lord, give them other laws, so as not to perish.
515. If they can not be with you, Lord, let it not be against you, so that we can they support themselves, and when the time comes, and they are ripe for thy words, reveal to them their own laws ".
516. And to this end, Moses broke the two pieces of stone on which the were inscribed the Ten Commandments and instead gave them ten times ten.
517. Of these ten times ten the Scribes and Pharisees did a hundred times ten commandments.
(The Gospel of the Essenes)
Commandments were given some relief, for example, to justify violence, that is, did not reflect God's law, the law of love in full least, and because Jesus paid attention to it in the Sermon on the Mount, clarifying and supplementing them.
In the first part is not given a simple enumeration of the Beatitudes, given something more grandiose.
Beatitudes - a stage of man's ascent "on the mountain," it step by step description of the spiritual path from a simple death to the prophet. In such a procedure is spiritual growth, or perhaps should be.
first step: getting rid of pride. Blessed are the poor spirit, for theirs is the kingdom Nebesnoe.Veliky Russian poet A. Pushkin called hubris the greatest of the sins of men. Pride, she's self, is to essentially the glorification of his personality. But the identity of each is given a new birth and the death of a man dying and personality. It is not eternal, as well as our тело. Гордыня – это привязанность к своей иллюзорной личности, это когда «Я» на первом месте в жизни человека. Она порождает тяжелейшую карму, и пока есть она in the human heart, he was only moments may show mercy and compassion, to feel love for all beings. Our identity is not perfect. Those who have recognized its imperfections, ie the poor in spirit are blessed. These people have already embarked on a righteous path, they have taken the first step to the knowledge of his divine nature. Thus, it turns out that working on spirituality, trying to clear, no things are not going to account for as long as not purged from pride. It is the root of all other sins, and if it does not destroy it again and again will give the seedlings in our soul.
Jesus was not tied to their identity and therefore can continuously pour Love and perform miracles, heal the people. That he teaches us.
regarding the dangers of self is constantly mentioned by all teachers. HE Blavatsky in « Directions for everyday Use "wrote:
student must fully understand that the idea of \u200b\u200bindividual rights arises precisely from the poisonous snakes the quality of the Self. It should not look at another person as a person, you can criticize or blame, and should not raise his voice in his own defense or excuse.
Step Two: repentance. Blessed are they that mourn, for they uteshatsya.Plachet man, purified from pride, for he sees himself differently, he sees how blind was and how much evil was causing people and himself. Recognition that until this moment you have lived without following the principle of love that was weak spiritually - is repentance. I confess - admit that was wrong. And to quote Daniel Bodrov from the film "Brat-2" "Who has the truth, he is strong." And indeed it is. And the truth is always where manifests itself Love, pure and unconditional.
Repentance always goes hand in hand with the intent to build a future life, according to the law of Love. Intention - the desire plus willingness to act. Intention of inflexibility, full of faith and as an arrow directs right on target. Check our mistakes and take a firm decision to no longer repeat them. All actions must henceforth be devoted to God, not you personally. Thinking about what benefit you will achieve by committing these acts, you only feeds its self. Every day you have to fight the temptations would be difficult, but in the end everything always happens. Repented people who have intention to live righteously, comforted, because the internal gain humility. And this is the next commandment.
