There is something in this body that can break loose from this commanding power, and then it dies. That is all Esau can do.

Esau came first, then Jacob; John came first and then Jesus. They both came in a miraculous way.

Every child that comes from woman is Esau. You may be quite hairless by normal standards, but you are still Esau.

“Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other; the elder shall serve the younger.”

when man discovers Jacob, he has no edges, but he is more real than all the Esaus of the world.

Every Esau has to serve Jacob. If you find Jacob and you dwell in the state and become completely absorbed in it, all the Esaus have to serve you

They are not persons as we are; they are states of consciousness through which the immortal soul passes on its way to God.

I saw Esau and he is just as he is described, covered from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet with red hair, just like a huge big ape. And here, Jacob – instead of being a man – Jacob is the most glorious female you could ever imagine.

you are feeding this glorious creature and you are denying food to this monster. It isn’t his fault; we gave him birth.

There is an inner man and he is skilled in arranging things so that they reach to desired ends, not based upon the evidence of the senses.

this monstrous thing before my eyes melted and left no trace of ever having been present; but as it melted, all the energy that it embodied came to me, it returned to me who gave it.
