THE NEW CHRISTOLOGY
You will find this a very practical night, for I feel that the truth of the working of God's law should be looked
upon as intensely as anything in this world. So tonight I want to show you quite clearly how God's law
operates.
We are told in the 14th chapter of John: "Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in
me. Inmy Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so would I have told you that I go to prepare a
place for you? When I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself that
where I am there you may be also." You may think some man is speaking to a group of men as I am here;
but these words were spoken by the human Imagination, who - having come out from the Father, came into
the world. Now leaving the world, human imagination is going to the Father's house. He is returning to
discover the source, the cause, of the phenomena of life.
Jesus Christ, your own wonderful human imagination, is the way to everything in the world - but specifically
to the Father. Tonight we will take this thought on a practical level so that everyone will know how to bring
into this world everything he wants, no matter what it is.
Today billions of dollars are being spent on anti-poverty programs; yet the one consuming thing we need
(which will not cost one nickel) is a new Christology, a new way of thinking of Christ as the human
imagination! Christ is the cause of everything, but as long as the churches mislead the world - by teaching he
is on the outside as one who lived and died 2000 years ago to whom you should turn and pray - you will
never find him. Poverty can never be overcome on the outside, no matter how much money is given to the
poor. Only when the poor man is told that he is the source of all life and taught how to turn and pray to
himself, will he overcome poverty. So the outstanding need is to teach this new Christology, to tell everyone
you meet that Christ is the human imagination, for without this knowledge - I don't care what you do - you
will never bring your desires into fulfillment.
In my Father's house are unnumbered mansions. Unnumbered states of consciousness. If it were not so,
would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go I will come again and receive you
to myself, that where I am you may be also. In this statement Imagination is telling you he is the Father for
"No one comes to the Father but by me." Only when you come to the awareness that your human
imagination is the phenomenon, the source of all life, will you find the Father.
In the 60th plate of his poem, "Jerusalem," Blake speaks of the tower of Babel. I am sure you are all familiar
with the story of how the tower contained multiple voices so that no one understood the other. Today, even
though we and those in Romania, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia live in what is referred to as democratic
countries, we do not mean the same kind of democracy. To us democracy is based upon the principle of
compromise, but not the compromise of principle as they do. So the world is Babel and Blake makes this
statement: "Babelmocks saying, there is no God or Son of God. That thou O Human Imagination, O Divine
Body, art all a delusion. But I know thee, O Lord." (Here Blake calls his own human imagination, "Lord")
saying: "when thou ariseth upon." In the morning when Imagination ariseth and the eye awakens, you see the
familiar objects about as life itself arises. The world is animated by your human imagination. If it did not return
in the morning you would be called dead, for life is nothing more than an activity of imagining. So Blake
continues, saying: "when thou ariseth uponmy eyes, even in this dungeon, this iron mill." You see, Blake saw
the physical garment as a dungeon, a mill of iron.
But your Imagination knows all, is all, and is all powerful! If you should forget something, knowing that your
own imagination is Jesus Christ, say: "Thank you Father that you always hear me." Do that and in the matter
of moments the thought will return. Recognize your own wonderful human imagination as the only God, the
only Lord Christ Jesus, for besides him there is no other. So the outstanding need this day is for a new
Christology, a new knowledge of Christ, a completely new thinking of the human imagination. Until this is
done unnumbered billions will be appropriated to fight poverty to no avail. You can never give a poor man
