1 Corinthians 6:2 The saints shall judge the world

The Ascended Masters Beloved Jesus and Saint Germain

² Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?... -1 Corinthians 6:2 King James Version (KJV)

The Higher Mental Bodies of mankind are the Judges of the world and all those who become one with their Higher Mental Bodies become the Sons of God or true Saints like Jesus and Saint Germain. 

1 Corinthians 3:1-2 I have fed you with milk

3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. -1 Corinthians 3:1-2 Bible, King James Version 

There are those who are spiritually minded and those who are carnally minded. Those who are carnally minded are like babies in Christ who can only receive the milk or basic teachings of the Gospel. Those individuals who are spiritually minded are able to receive the meat or deeper teachings of the Gospel.

In the Spirit World there are Higher and lower Planes or Regions with their Rulers. The Bible refers to three Degrees of Glory likened to the sun, moon and stars two of which it names as the Celestial and the Terrestrial. (1 Corinthians 15: 39-44) The Mormon Church teaches that the Celestial Kingdom is the highest and has three divisions within it, then there is the Terrestrial Kingdom and the lowest is the Telestial Kingdom. In the Mormon Temples members receive the key words, answers, signs and tokens to be able to pass by the angels who stand as sentinels to enter into the Celestial Kingdom of Heaven. The angels revealed to Emanuel Swedenborg that the Christian Preachers represent the Spiritual Kingdom of heaven not the higher Celestial Kingdom of Heaven. All priests, prophets, spiritual teachers, Masters and religions represent different Planes or Regions and their Rulers. Everyone will receive a spiritual reward in the afterlife based upon whether they received and followed the teachings of a righteous man, a Priest or Minister, a prophet, a Master or an Ascended Master. There is a Key Word which opens the Door to Heaven. This Key Word can lift one up to a higher Plane or Region than all the other words, answers, signs, tokens and mantras of the lower regions. In order to gain the Ascension and enter permanently into the Highest Plane one must receive this Key Word which is the Name of God. The Ascended Masters teach that this Word is "I AM." This is the Name of God revealed to Moses in the Old Testament. (Exodus 3: 13-15)

CHAPTER 139.

¹⁹False prophets come and go; they claim to be the shepherds of the sheep; they claim to know the way, but they know not the word of power; the watchman opens not the gate...

Pistis Sophia translated by G. S. R. Mead

CHAPTER 97

...And Mary [Magdalene] answered again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, bear with me, if I question thee, and be not wroth with me. Now, therefore, my Lord, unless we live and know the... word of the Ineffable, [or Indescribable,] shall we not be able to inherit the Light-kingdom?"
And the Saviour answered |233. and said unto Mary: "Surely; for every one who shall receive a mystery of the Light-kingdom, will go and inherit up to the region up to which he hath received mysteries... And moreover it is impossible to know the one and only word... unless a man first receive the mystery of the Ineffable. But all the men who shall receive mysteries in the Light, -every one will go and inherit up to the region up to which he hath received mysteries.
"On this account I have said unto you aforetime: 'He who hath faith in a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and he who hath faith in a righteous [man] will receive a righteous [man's] reward,' -that is: Every one will go to the region up to which he hath received mysteries. He who receiveth a lesser mystery, will inherit the lesser mystery, [or lower regions] and he who receiveth a higher mystery, will inherit the higher regions. And every one will abide in his region in the light of my kingdom, and every one will have power over the orders which are below him, but he will not have the power to go to the orders which are above him; but he will abide in the region of the Inheritance of the Light |234. of my kingdom, being in a great light immeasurable for the gods and all the invisibles, and he will be in great joy and great jubilation.
"But now, therefore, hearken, that I may discourse with you concerning the grandeur of those who shall receive the mysteries of the First Mystery.
"He, therefore, who shall receive the [first] mystery of that First Mystery, and it shall be at the time that he cometh out of the body... -then the... receivers come and lead the soul of that man out of the body. And that soul will become a great light-stream in the hands of the... receivers; and those receivers will be afraid of the light of that soul. And that soul will go upwards and pass through all the regions of the rulers and all the regions of the emanations of the Light. And it will not give answers... nor tokens in any single region of the Light nor in any single region of the rulers; but it will pass through all the regions and cross over them all, so that it goeth and ruleth over all the regions..."

CHAPTER 133

...The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn, I say unto you: All which is appointed unto every one... whether all good or all sins... cometh unto them.
"For this cause, therefore, have I brought |351. the keys of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; otherwise no flesh in the world would be saved. For without mysteries no one will enter into the Light-kingdom, be he a righteous or a sinner.
"For this cause, therefore, have I brought the keys of the mysteries into the world, that I may free the sinners who shall have faith in me and hearken unto me, so that I may free them from the bonds... of the æons [or   the series of spiritual powers] of the rulers and bind them to... the vestures [that cover us such as our clothing or our body] and the orders of the Light, in order that he whom I shall free in the world from the bonds... of the æons of the rulers, may be freed in the Height from the bonds... of the æons of the rulers, and in order that he whom I shall bind in the world to... the vestures and the orders of the Light, may be bound in the Light-land to the orders of the inheritances of the Light.
"For the sake of sinners, therefore, have I... brought them the mysteries, that I may free them from the æons of the rulers and bind them to the inheritances of the Light, and not only the sinners, but also the righteous, in order that I may give them the mysteries and that they may be taken into the Light, for without mysteries they cannot |352. be taken into the Light.
"For this cause, therefore, I have not hidden it, but I have cried it aloud clearly. And I have not separated the sinners, but I have cried it aloud and said it unto all men, unto sinners and righteous, saying: 'Seek that ye may find, knock that it may be opened unto you; for every one who seeketh in truth, will find, and who knocketh, to him it will be opened.' For I have said unto all men: They are to seek the mysteries of the Light-kingdom which shall purify them and make them refined and lead them into the Light.
"...The power in John hath prophesied concerning me, knowing that I would bring the mysteries into the world and purify the sins of the sinners who shall have faith in me and hearken unto me, and make them into refined light and lead them into the Light."

Chart of Your Divine Self - Spiritual Art | The Summit Lighthouse

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ¹⁷ If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. -1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Bible, King James Version 

Most of mankind have a human state of consciousness because their lower human self resides in their body. When our Higher Self enters permanently into our body we become Christ Conscious which is the Way to Eternal Life rather than the way to death and re-embodiment.

Our Higher Self, Overself or Soul resides above us rather than within us as our individual spirit does. This Individualized Presence of God gives us Life via a stream of Light which flows down into our Crown Chakra at the top of our head. When this Holy Spirit descends into our physical body like a dove we become a  Godman or Master because we are now one with God.

CHAPTER 8.

Elihu’s lessons to Jesus' mother in Egypt

¹Again Elihu met his pupils in the sacred grove and said,
⁵There are two selfs; the higher and the lower self.
⁶The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.
⁷The lower self, the carnal self, the body of desires, is a reflexion of the higher self, distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh.
⁸The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the higher self is God in man, and will not pass away.
⁹The higher self is the embodi­ment of truth; the lower self is truth reversed, and so is falsehood manifest.
¹⁰The higher self is justice, mercy, love and right; the lower self is what the higher self is not.
¹¹The lower self breeds hatred, slander, lewdness, murders, theft, and everything that harms; the higher self is mother of the virtues and the harmonies of life.
¹²The lower self is rich in prom­ises, but poor in blessedness and peace; it offers pleasure, joy and sat­isfying gains; but gives unrest and misery and death.
¹³It gives men apples that are lovely to the eye and pleasant to the smell; their cores are full of bit­terness and gall.
¹⁴If you would ask me what to study I would say, yourselfs; and when you well had studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, your­selfs.
¹⁵He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, knows of the things that pass away; and he who knows his higher self, knows God; knows well the things that cannot pass away.
¹⁶Thrice blessed is the man who has made purity and love his very own; he has been ransomed from the perils of the lower self and is himself his higher self.

1 Corinthians 2:16 We have the Mind of Christ

¹⁶...we have the mind of Christ. -1 Corinthians 2:16 Bible, King James Version

.

We can all have the Mind of Christ indicating that we all have the potential to become Christs just like Jesus if we are willing to follow the Teachings of the Ascended Masters Who have all become Christs. The word Christ is an official title which means, The Master of Love. When we say "Jesus, the Christ" we refer to the man and to his office. Our Higher Mental Body is the Mind of Christ therefore by uniting our human mind in our Mental body with our Divine Mind in our Higher Mental Body we become a Mastermind as Jesus was before His Resurrection and Ascension.  

 

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ

Transcribed From the Book of God’s Remembrances, Known as the Akashic Records

by Levi H. Dowling (1844-1911)

CHAPTER 68.

¹The news soon spread abroad that Jesus, king of Israel, had come to Bethany, and all the people of the town came forth to greet the king.

²And Jesus, standing in the midst of them, exclaimed, Behold, indeed, the king has come, but Jesus is not king.

³The kingdom truly is at hand; but men can see it not with carnal eyes; they cannot see the king upon the throne.

⁴This is the kingdom of the soul; its throne is not an earthly throne; its king is not a man...

¹¹Men call me Christ, and God has recognized the name; but Christ is not a man. The Christ is univer­sal love, and Love is king.

¹²This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations over­come, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which Christ can manifest to men.

¹³Then hear, you men of Israel, hear! Look not upon the flesh; it is not king. Look to the Christ within, who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.

¹⁴When you have purified your hearts by faith, the king will enter in, and you will see his face.

¹⁵And then the people asked, What must we do that we may make our bodies fit abiding places for the king?

¹⁶And Jesus said, Whatever tends to purity in thought, and word, and deed will cleanse the temple of the flesh.

 

CHAPTER 79.

 John explains to the multitude the mis­sion of Jesus.

⁷I have performed the work that I was sent to do; the work of Jesus just begins.

⁸Then turning to the multi­tudes he said, Christ is the king of righteousness; Christ is the love of God; yea, he is God; one of the holy persons of the Triune God.

⁹Christ lives in every heart of purity.

¹⁰Now, Jesus who is preaching at the Jordan ford, has been sub­jected to the hardest tests of human life, and he has conquered all the ap­petites and passions of the carnal man.

¹¹And by the highest court of heaven, has been declared a man of such superior purity and holiness that he can demonstrate the pres­ence of the Christ on earth.

¹²Lo, love divine, which is the Christ, abides in him, and he is pat­tern for the race.

¹³And every man can see in him what every man will be when he has conquered all the passions of the selfish self.

¹⁴In water I have washed the bodies of the people who have turned from sin, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul;

¹⁵But Jesus bathes forever in the living waters of the Holy Breath.

¹⁶And Jesus comes to bring the savior of the world to men; Love is the savior of the world.

¹⁷And all who put their trust in Christ, and follow Jesus as a pat­tern and a guide, have everlasting life.

¹⁸But they who do not trust the Christ, and will not purify their hearts so that the Christ can dwell within, can never enter life.

CHAPTER 128.

¹⁶...Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail;

¹⁷About the kingdom of the Christ within the soul...

CHAPTER 129.

⁶Where is your profit if you gain the world and lose your soul? What would you take in payment for your soul?

⁷If you would find the spirit life, the life of man in God, then you must walk a narrow way and enter through a narrow gate.

⁸The way is Christ, the gate is Christ, and you must come up by the way of Christ. No man comes unto God but by the Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:14 The natural man rejects the Fullness of the Gospel

                                                                    Ascended Masters

¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. -1 Corinthians 2:14 Bible, King James Version 

The man of the world will not receive the Fullness of the Gospel for it seems like foolishness to him. Even those who are religious may reject the Teachings of the Ascended Masters, including Beloved Jesus and Saint Germain, because they seem different from what their priests teach them.   

1 Corinthians 2:11 The spirit of man is in him

 

¹¹...the spirit of man which is in him... -1 Corinthians 2:11 King James Version (KJV)

Heaven and Hell, by Emanuel Swedenborg, [1758], tr. by John C. Ager [1900] at sacred-texts.com

432.
XLV. IN RESPECT TO HIS INTERIORS EVERY MAN IS A SPIRIT. Whoever duly considers the subject can see that as the body is material it is not the body that thinks, but the soul, which is spiritual. The soul of man, upon the immortality of which many have written, is his spirit, for this as to everything belonging to it is immortal. This also is what thinks in the body, for it is spiritual, and what is spiritual receives what is spiritual and lives spiritually, which is to think and to will. Therefore, all rational life that appears in the body belongs to the soul, and nothing of it to the body; for the body, as just said, is material, and the material, which is the property of the body, is added to and apparently almost joined to the spirit, in order that the spirit of man may be able to live and perform uses in the natural world...
433. 
...A man viewed in himself is a spirit possessing a like form; for whatever lives and feels in man belongs to his spirit and everything in man, from his head to the sole of his foot, lives and feels; and in consequence when the body is separated from its spirit, which is what is called dying, man continues to be a man and to live. I have heard from heaven that some who die, while they are lying upon the bier [A bier is a stand on which a corpse, coffin, or casket containing a corpse, is placed,] before they are resuscitated [in the world of spirits,] continue to think even in their cold body, and do not know that they are not still alive, except that they are unable to move a particle of matter belonging to the body...
435.
All this has been said to convince the rational man that viewed in himself man is a spirit, and that the corporeal part that is added to the spirit to enable it to perform its functions in the natural and material world is not the man, but only an instrument of his spirit. But evidences from experience are preferable, because there are many that fail to comprehend rational deductions; and those that have established themselves in the opposite view turn such deductions into grounds of doubt by means of reasonings from the fallacies of the senses. Those that have established themselves in the opposite view are accustomed to think that beasts likewise have life and sensations and thus have a spiritual part, the same as man has, and yet that part dies with the body. But the spiritual of beasts is not the same as the spiritual of man is; for man has what beasts have not, an inmost, into which the Divine flows, raising man up to Itself, and thereby conjoining man to Itself. Because of this, man, in contrast with beasts, has the ability to think about God and about the Divine things of heaven and the church, and to love God from these and in these, and thus be conjoined to Him; and whatever can be conjoined to the Divine cannot be dissipated, but whatever cannot be conjoined is dissipated. The inmost that man has, in contrast with beasts, has been treated of above (n. 39), and what was there said will here be repeated, since it is important to have the fallacies dispelled that have been engendered in the minds of many who from lack of knowledge and trained intellect are unable to form rational conclusions on the subject. The words are these: I will mention a certain arcanum [secret] respecting the angels of the three heavens, which has not hitherto come into any one's mind, because degrees have not been understood. In every angel and in every man there is an inmost or highest degree, or an inmost or highest something, into which the Divine of the Lord first or most directly flows, and from which it disposes the other interiors in him that succeed in accordance with the degrees of order. This inmost or highest degree may be called the entrance of the Lord to the angel or man, and His veriest [or highest degree] dwelling-place in them. It is by virtue of this inmost or highest that a man is a man, and distinguished from the animals, which do not have it. From this it is that man, unlike the animals, is capable, in respect to all his interiors which pertain to his mind and disposition, of being raised up by the Lord to Himself, of believing in the Lord, of being moved by love to the Lord, and thereby beholding Him, and of receiving intelligence and wisdom, and speaking from reason. Also it is by virtue of this that he lives to eternity. But what is arranged and provided by the Lord in this inmost does not distinctly fall into the perception of any angel, because it is above his thought and transcends his wisdom.
436.
That in respect to his interiors man is a spirit I have been permitted to learn from much experience, which, to employ a common saying, would fill volumes if I were to describe it all. I have talked with spirits as a spirit, and I have talked with them as a man in the body; and when I talked with them as a spirit they knew no otherwise than that I myself was a spirit and in a human form as they were. Thus did my interiors appear before them, for when talking with them as a spirit my material body was not seen.
437.
That in respect to his interiors man is a spirit can be seen from the fact that after his separation from the body, which takes place when he dies, man goes on living as a man just as before. That I might be convinced of this I have been permitted to talk with nearly everyone I had ever known in their life in the body; with some for hours, with some for weeks and months, and with some for years, and this chiefly that I might be sure of it and might testify to it.
438.
To this may be added that every man in respect to his spirit, even while he is living in the body, is in some society with spirits, although he does not know it; if a good man he is by means of spirits in some angelic society; if an evil man in some infernal society [of hell;] and after death he comes into that same society. This has been often told and shown to those who after death have come among spirits. Man, to be sure, does not appear in that society as a spirit while he is living in the world, for the reason that he then thinks naturally; but when one is thinking abstractly from the body, because he is then in the spirit, he sometimes appears in his society; and when seen he is easily distinguished from the spirits there, for he goes about meditating and in silence, not looking at others, and apparently not seeing them; and as soon as any spirit speaks to him he vanishes.
439.
To make clear that man in respect to his interiors is a spirit I will relate from experience what happens when man is withdrawn from the body, and what it is to be carried away by the spirit to another place.
440.
First, as to withdrawal from the body, it happens thus. Man is brought into a certain state that is midway between sleeping and waking, and when in that state he seems to himself to be wide awake; all the senses are as perfectly awake as in the completest bodily wakefulness, not only the sight and the hearing, but what is wonderful, the sense of touch also, which is then more exquisite than is ever possible when the body is awake. In this state spirits and angels have been seen to the very [physical] life, and have been heard, and what is wonderful, have been touched, with almost nothing of the body intervening. This is the state that is called being withdrawn from the body, and not knowing whether one is in the body or out of it. I have been admitted into this state only three or four times, that I might learn what it is, and might know that spirits and angels enjoy every sense, and that man does also in respect to his spirit when he is withdrawn from the body.

 [² I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.³ And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) ⁴ How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. -2 Corinthians 12:2-4 King James Version (KJV)]

441.
As to being carried away by the spirit to another place, I have been shown by living experience what it is, and how it is done, but only two or three times. I will relate a single instance. Walking through the streets of a city and through fields, talking at the same time with spirits, I knew no otherwise than that I was fully awake, and in possession of my usual sight. Thus I walked on without going astray, and all the while with clear vision, seeing groves, rivers, palaces, houses, men, and other objects. But after walking thus for some hours, suddenly I saw with my bodily eyes, and noted that I was in another place. Being greatly astonished I perceived that I had been in the same state as those who were said to have been led away by the spirit into another place. For in this state the distance, even though it be many miles, and the time, though it be many hours or days, are not thought of; neither is there any feeling of fatigue; and one is led unerringly through ways of which he himself is ignorant, even to the destined place.
442.
But these two states of man, which are his states when he is in his interiors, or what is the same, when he is in the spirit, are extraordinary; but as they are states known about in the church, they were exhibited to me only that I might know what they are. But it has been granted to me now for many years to speak with spirits and to be with them as one of them, even in full wakefulness of the body.
443.
That in respect to his interiors man is a spirit there are further evidences in what has been said and shown above (n. 311-317), where it is explained that heaven and hell are from the human race.
444.
That man is a spirit in respect to his interiors means in respect to the things pertaining to his thought and will, for these are the interiors themselves that make man to be man, and such a man as he is in respect to these interiors. 
 

 

1 Corinthians 2:10 The deep things of God

                                                   https://www.magnific.com  riccosta

¹⁰ But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. -1 Corinthians 2:10 Bible, King James Version

There are basically two levels to the teachings of the Gospel. There are the shallow teachings such as the parables Jesus taught and then there are the deeper spiritual Teachings such as what those parables represented. One must search for the deeper spiritual Teachings of the Ascended Masters including Beloved Jesus and Saint Germain.

Mighty Victory teaches us: "...the masses of mankind, until they are taught this Law, do not have permanent Victory! ...Like a pendulum they swing and swing and swing, and never stabilize anywhere; because they cannot, until they know That Glorious Word "I AM"; understand where the "Mighty I AM Presence" is; what It is and what It can do for them. Only then can they see, know and accept the Reality of the Mighty Ascended Masters; the Great Cosmic Beings... Until they know the "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence" and Its Cosmic Law, they are not stabilized within Permanent Happiness nor Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1951 June p28-29)

CHAPTER 102

JESUS continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: "When I shall have gone into the Light, then herald it unto the whole world and say unto them: Cease not to seek day and night and remit not yourselves until ye find the mysteries of the Light-kingdom, which will purify you and make you into refined light and lead you into the Light-kingdom... 258. "Say unto them: Renounce the doctrines of error, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the Light...

CHAPTER 103

263. "But amēn, amēn, I say unto you: Even if a righteous man hath committed no sins at all, he cannot possibly be brought into the Light-kingdom, because the sign of the kingdom of the mysteries is not with him. In a word, it is impossible to bring souls into the Light without the mysteries of the Light-kingdom."

CHAPTER 111

When then the disciples had said this, the Saviour continued again and said unto his disciples: "If ye go into cities or kingdoms or countries, proclaim first unto them, saying: Search ever and cease not, until ye find the mysteries of the Light which will lead you into the Light-kingdom. Say unto them: Beware of the doctrines of error. For many will come in my name... and they will lead many astray. Now, therefore, unto all men who come unto you and have faith in you and hearken unto your words and do what is worthy of the mysteries of the Light, give the mysteries of the Light and hide them not from them. And unto him who is worthy of the higher mysteries, give them, and to him who is worthy of the lower mysteries, give them, and hide not anything from any one...

CHAPTER 125

Mary continued again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, if the faith and the mysteries shall have revealed themselves, -now, therefore, if souls come into the world in many circuits [or changes of the body] and are neglectful of receiving mysteries, hoping that, if they come into the world at any other circuit, they will receive them, will they not then be in danger 317. of not succeeding in receiving the mysteries?"

The Saviour answered and said unto his disciples: "Herald unto the whole world and say unto men: Strive thereafter that ye may receive the mysteries of the Light in this time... and enter into the Light-kingdom. Join not one day to another, or one circuit to another, hoping that ye may succeed in receiving the mysteries if ye come into the world in another circuit...

318... "At that time then the faith will reveal itself still more and the mysteries in those days. And many souls will come by means of the circuits of the changes of the body... coming back into the world...

CHAPTER 133

The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn, I say unto you: All which is appointed unto every one... whether all good or all sins... cometh unto them. For this cause, therefore, have I brought 351. the keys of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; otherwise no flesh in the world would be saved. For without mysteries no one will enter into the Light-kingdom, be he a righteous or a sinner... 352... "For this cause, therefore, I have not hidden it, but I have cried it aloud clearly. And I have not separated the sinners, but I have cried it aloud and said it unto all men, unto sinners and righteous, saying: 'Seek that ye may find, knock that it may be opened unto you; for every one who seeketh in truth, will find, and who knocketh, to him it will be opened.' For I have said unto all men: They are to seek the mysteries of the Light-kingdom which shall purify them and make them refined and lead them into the Light. For this cause, therefore, hath John the Baptizer prophesied concerning me, saying: 'I indeed have baptized you with water unto repentance for forgiveness of your sins. He who cometh after me, is stronger than me. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purify his floor. The chaff indeed he will consume with unquenchable fire, but the wheat he will gather into his barn.' The power in John hath prophesied concerning me, knowing that I would bring the mysteries into the world and purify the sins of the sinners who shall have faith in me and hearken unto me, and make them into refined light and lead them into the Light."

17. ...Scarcely anyone knows wherein resides the Divine of the Word, when nevertheless it is in its internal and spiritual sense, which at this day is not known even to exist (Arcana Coelestia 2980, 4989). The mystical contents of the Word are no other than those of its internal or spiritual sense, which treats of the Lord, of the glorification of His Human, of His kingdom, and of the church, and not of the natural things which are in the world (n. 4923). The prophetic writings are in many places unintelligible, and therefore of no use, without the internal sense, illustrated by examples (n. 2608, 8020, 8398). As for instance, with respect to what is signified by "the white horse" in Revelation (n. 2760 seq.). What by "the keys of the kingdom of the heavens," that were given to Peter, see the preface to Genesis 22, and n. 9410. What by "flesh," "blood," "bread," and "wine," in the Holy Supper (n. 8682)...
