You are Abraham and Sarah

You are Jesus of the story.

As you know, all of the Bible stories are your stories; its characters live only in the mind of man.

This is that which is called Peter in the Bible, not a man

You are this very night, as you are seated here, pictured in this 5th chapter of Mark.

In this story Jesus is the awakened intellect of man.

I cannot repeat too often that the story, even when it introduces numberless individualities, takes place within the mind of the individual man.

All the stories of the Bible unfold in the minds of the individual man.

You know that every story in the Bible is your story, that when the writers introduce dozens of characters in the same story they are trying to present you with different attributes of the mind that you may employ.

Everything in the Bible takes place in the mind of man: the tree, the city, the people, everything.

You are Jesus, and your mother is your own consciousness.

These, being interior to all men, subsist irrespective of what any particular man has at any time done.

It is taking place in you. No one else is hearing it.

Now, this conversation takes place in you individually, between the two.

No, they are right here in everyone in this world!

taking the simple little technique of identifying that figure with my own imagination, the answer will be automatic

The one who first did it was called Jacob; well, I am Jacob. You are Jacob if you start to plant

You are Corinthians, for these are stories of the mysteries

First remember that all the characters of the Bible take place in the mind of man. I am Moses, you are Moses.

for the story of the Bible takes place in the mind of every man

every character in scripture, from the beginning to the end, is buried in you. That is where the fathers are buried and every one you are going to resurrect.

You are the blind father and both sons.

for as you sit here you, too, are Isaac

All the characters live in the mind of the individual man. As you read the story, make it fit the pattern of self.

Again bear in mind that all the characters of the Bible are personifications of abstract ideas and must be fulfilled in the individual man.

You are King Judah and you are also Tamar.

All the characters as they appear in this story can apply to your own life.

It is not men falling, not a man betraying another, but you detaching your attention

You can become the crowd who clamors for the release of the thief, and the judge who willingly releases Barabbas

These characters are everlasting characters in the mind of every man in the world. You and I perpetually keep alive either Barabbas or Jesus.

All these stories you are re-enacting if now you begin to let go and enter into the feeling of actually being what you want to be.

again I am going to remind you that you must re-enact all of these stories within your own mind

That drama must TAKE place in the mind of man.
