So here, the destruction that is still the old habit crying out to destroy. That’s why I said earlier, “Why do people fear me?” She feared me recently greatly, and thought me evil, because they are afraid they may believe me. So, in the dream that followed this only a few days ago the crowd, called the townspeople, struck him over the head and knocked him cold, and then he cried out because of the pain. And when he cried out because of the harshness of the knives that went into him, she wondered, “Why should I” – the rational mind? No, the rational mind would not want to destroy David. But she’s not dealing with the rational mind. She is dealing with something deep within her that has been actually planted in her from childhood. It’s a difficult thing to overcome prefabricated misconceptions of the great mystery of Christ. But I tell you, he is David, and you are the father of David, and therefore you are God.657 ¶29
