THE GREATER WORLD CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALIST CHURCH
THE ZODIAC MESSAGES
AN EXTRACT FROM:
"SPIRITUAL SUCCESSES"
(Taken from an address given by the celestial messenger
'Zodiac', (the unnamed scribe of the Bible and a teacher
in the Temple of Jerusalem at the time of Christ),
at the Zodiac Circle on Saturday, 1st October, 1927).
"...Again I take you back to the One who loves
you best, even the Tender Saviour, the Missionary of
mankind. I ask you to try and visualise the agony of
His daily life, how His tears fell, out of the anguish
which was within! Yet, my little ones, remember this:
that though He was hated by many, He hated none, but
loved them all. And while I am upon this point I wish
to reconstruct that which is so freely quoted by the
spiritually ignorant - the driving of the money-takers
out of the Temple, and the whip which the Master held
in His hand.
"Children, to some who are in bondage a great
satisfaction comes in the thought that Jesus the Christ
was guilty of lack of self-control. There are those
in the world today who are glad that the whip was taken
up by the Holy One and that He was sufficiently human,
so they say, to be charged with anger. Children, I
was there when that incident took place, but I was
bound, as many were bound, yet I saw the facts and
I narrate them here.
"Think you to yourselves, those of you who have
the gift of greater sight. You are able to see around
the careless child, the unthinking friend, the companions
who have gathered near and who seek to destroy harmony
and trust. You who have clear vision can remain calm
when one, maddened by strong drink, forgets his manhood
and is even as a brute, for you see the tempters (disembodied souls either earthbound or from the darker
regions), those who are using the weakness, the frailty of
the will. And when you stand to attack, you attack
those who are unseen, unknown by the one concerned,
and you wrestle with them, until, through the grace
of God, you have separated the influence from the one
so blind.
"The Master stood amongst those He loved and He
saw what was going on. He saw the great army who had
gathered bent upon the destruction of those so unconscious
on the earth plane; and because such as these thought
of self alone, so the connection was complete, and
out of the anguish which was His own, the agony over
wasted opportunity, of all that must be retrieved,
so the Holy One took up the whip. My children, the
Beloved stood before the many with the little whip
in His hand. The one who was nearest could have felled
Him to the ground even as He advanced; but Christ,
using the very weapon of the physical mind and the
cowardice of the heart, held up the whip and drove
them out.
"Oh, think you, dear children, what was it that
sent them scattering in all directions! The little
whip and the power of the physical hand? Or the great
outrush of spiritual power, which, like a dynamic force
was irresistible? For evil cannot stand before good,
hate must give place to love.
"And one other point in regard to this. All who
have the greater vision are conscious that where many
are gathered together so, by their concentration, they
provide that which is as a magnet, either for the good
or for those you name evil; and, in a measure, the
only way to release this bondage is to scatter them,
for as they divide so the power is dissipated, in part.
Anger of the physical mind was impossible to Love!
You have the instinct within that where love is, anger
can find no place. The anguish was for them, for they
in their blindness and their ignorance, literally were
mediums of those from the dark planes..."...

World was originally established purely because of the Zodiac Messages
and their introduction into earthly life by the Christ Messenger
Zodiac and the Christ Mission which is expounded therein. The inception
of the Greater World was for the preservation, as received, of the
Zodiac Messages and the prudent dissemination of the spiritual philosophy,
consequently perpetuating the incorruptibility, distinctiveness
and uniqueness of the Zodiac Messages and the teachings contained
therein.
