We who are old in days will not hesitate to ask our child within who is seven days old about the place of life he comes from,
and that person will live. For many of the first will be last and we will become the single one in our reality.
He said, “Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death”.
We hover between life and death, being aware of, but experiencing neither in its fullness. They find themselves between the light of reality, and the darkness of ignorance. They are not sure of what they are, (a spiritual or a physical being). They are not sure who they are, (a child within, or a child of the shadow self). They are not sure where they came from, (the spiritual realm or the material realm). Because of this, each of us experiences a mind that is divided, and we are torn between the material way and true reality. In this state suffering is inevitable. First we go one way and do wrong to others, and then we go the other way, and we are then tormented by what we have done.
We may go one of two ways, either towards Love and Truth where life is found, or towards complete ignorance of these things, which is non-productive life . Those of us who search and find the true meanings of the their beliefs, will not experience spiritual death, which results in the complete loss of their true identity as a spiritual being. To be spiritually dead, also incurs the complete loss of empathy for all living things, which means that Love cannot be experienced, and that Truth cannot be known. This leads a person to believe that life has no meaning other than to serve one’s own selfish needs.
To find the interpretation of the secret teachings, a person must first have a measure of Love, a realisation of Truth, and a measure of the realisation that they are not a physical being but a child within.
Those who are able to understand the sayings, and believe with sincerity, will come to know themselves, and will come to be known as the sons of the children within.
It is not enough to simply read the interpretations, one must see and understand the Truth in them, and recognise it in your heart.
“Let those who seeks continue seeking until they find. When we find, We will become troubled. When we becomes troubled, we will be astonished, and we will live in a new reality”.

“Let those who seeks continue seeking until they find. When we find, We will become troubled. When we becomes troubled, we will be astonished, and we will live in a new reality”.
‘Let us who seeks continue seeking until we find our truth’.
To seek is to search for. The search relates to coming to know ourself and the true nature of what the child within is. So the questions to which answers must be sought, relate solely to the child within, such as, ‘I am?’ or, ‘what am I?’ or, ‘to what am I referring to when I use the word ‘I’?’ What is the nature of this thing that I am, this ‘I’ that looks out into the world, but remains separate from it?
To come to know yourself, you must first realise what you are not, then you will be left with the child within.
To search is to question. To continue searching is to question beyond one’s own beliefs, and the beliefs of others. That which we desire to be true is not always true, and so a person must look beyond what they personally desire to be true.
The Truth is that which cannot fall and it has no fear of questioning. The Truth is unchangeable and eternal. Knowledge of the material realm is knowledge of that which is without life and is outside of the Self. The knowledge that is profitable to the Self, is knowledge of the Self, and that is why it was said that you must come to know yourself. It is the nature of one’s own being that is eventually found by those who keep searching.
‘When we find, We will become troubled’.
When you realise that you are not of the world (not a physical being), then you will realise that you are separated from it, and alone in a place that can be seen as a fortress or a prison (the mind). It is then that you will become troubled as you realise that there is no escape from your mind.‘When we become troubled, we will be astonished’.

It is then that you will become troubled as you realise that there is no escape from your mind.‘When we become troubled, we will be astonished’.
When you realise that you are not of the world (not a physical being) and that you are not in the world, and you realise that you need nothing of the world to sustain your existence. When you also realise that there is nothing that is of the world or materiality that can penetrate into your mind, and cause damage to the child within, then you will become astonished, fearless and empowered as your own master, an untouchable, uncontrollable, free willed being The Child Within. ‘And we will rule over All’.
‘ All’ refers to all of reality, both spiritual and material. It is the substance that all things (forms) are made from and are within. It is an infinite field of indestructible, eternal energy.
The material and spiritual realms, including the mind are all a part of ‘ All’. Each and every form of reality are components of ‘ All’. In this respect we are all one, and individuality is only found in the uniqueness of the form that each component of ‘ All’ takes, and in the awareness, desire and will of each child within.
It is the sentient (living, conscious, aware) Self, that has come to know itself as a being, which then rules over ‘ All’. Until that realisation is achieved, the child within finds itself clinging to and enslaved by an adult world, whose ways it feels compelled to conform to. Because of this, (even though the child within has free will) it finds its desires and will, easily manipulated by others. In this situation, the child within is not free, not its own master, but rather it is the servant of materiality and those who serve it. The child within that has come to know itself, has no masters and as a free-willed, being, it rules over All that is not child within.
The Truth will set you free.
‘Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there’. He was referring to ‘All’ that he came from and was a part of.What greater gifts can a man give another, that he teach him Truth, set him free, Love him as a brother/sister, and if necessary, suffer and give up his physical body for these things?
“If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the child with is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realise that it is you who are but if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty”.
‘If those who lead you’.
'See, the kingdom is in the sky’, then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.
Simply put, the Kingdom is not a material place. Neither is it a material thing, and is not a part of the material realm. Such teachings emanate from the minds of the blind and dead, and it is why those teachers were referred to as ‘the blind leading the blind’. What such religious teachers taught was, and is, a religion based on materiality, which included a physical god, who inhabited a material place. If the Kingdom were in the sky or the sea, then no religious teachings would be needed to reach it and the gates to the Kingdom would be wide open for even the most evil of persons to reach and enter. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
Simply put, your mind is the Kingdom, or rather a part of it, as are other people’s minds.
The mind is the Child Within’s personal domain, the place that the Self inhabits and rules over. Each being has their own personal child within, and so the domain is inside of you, and outside of you. When you close your eyes and look inside your mind, it is your domain that you see. It is a little piece of the child within that was given to you, and without which it would not be possible to experience consciousness or life, for the Self without a mind can experience nothing.
‘When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realise that it is you who are the sons of the living child within’.
When you come to fully realise your true nature as a being (Self-realisation), then you will become known in as the child within, and you will realise that it is you who is a child within, and your mind will have become prepared as a nursery. If your faith in Love is sufficient, then full communion with the child within will occur and your new mind will have become a shared part of the children within. The Child Within is the home that you left. It is Heaven that was your birth place, and it is the little piece of the universe that was given to you that is referred to as your child within.
‘But if we will not know ourselves, we will dwell in materialism and it is us who become that poverty’.
If we will not come to know ourself, then we dwell in a place of ignorance, in a mind that has no lasting treasures of Love and Truth. For if the child within is not recognised, then how can there be unbreakable faith in such things? It is the state of the mind that determines the state of the child within. If there is poverty in the mind, then there is poverty in the child within, and what is in the child within is a part of the adult shadow Self. Therefore if you dwell in a place of poverty, you become that poverty.
“The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same”.
‘The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live’.
‘The man’ always represents the Shadow Self, the ‘I,’ in I am.
‘The man old in days’ refers to the Shadow Self, which pre-existed its new mind and physical body.
‘The seven day old child’ refers to the Child Within, on its seventh day of its new life journey. At this point in time, the Child Within has no problem realising that it is the life, and because of this, it lives, for there is no ignorance of itself in its mind.
‘For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same’.
There is the Shadow Self and mind and there is the physical body. The child within existed before the physical body and so was first.
When the Shadow Self forgets its true nature as a spiritual being, it comes to believe that it is the physical body, and thereby Self-realisation is lost. It is then that the two become one, because the Shadow Self sees no difference between itself, and the physical body.
Note: The Shadow Self, the mind and the body are three separate and distinct things.
“Recognise what is in our sight, and that which is hidden from us will become plain to us. For there is nothing secret which will not become seen”.
That which is in our sight, is sight itself, the observer that is you. If you recognise this, your ‘Shadow bSelf’ will become plain to you. In Truth you cannot hide from yourself, you can only choose to ignore the true nature, of what you refer to, when you use the word ‘I’. It is as if the Self hides from itself, in plain view of itself. That which is most obvious, usually receives the least amount of attention, and through ignorance comes forgetfulness. It is the Shadow Self that is taken for granted, as its relevance is ignored. There is a difference between knowing, and realising the importance of what it is that you know.
We may say ‘I know I am a being’, but when the full realisation of what they profess to know is revealed to them, it is like an earthquake that has shaken the shadow self, and caused a paradigm shift in consciousness, a rebirth .
The Shadow Self is incredibly obvious, but people are led to only focus on, and recognise things that are outside of the Self, that is the mind, and the material things of the world.
That which is hidden from you is your child within, and the only way to find your child within, is to ignore the world and its endless cry for your attention.We have to meditate.
We question the child within and said to him, “Do you want us to become vegan? How shall we meditate? Shall we give money? What diets shall we observe?"
Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain to the intuitive voice. For nothing hidden will not become seen, and nothing covered by our dissociation will remain without being uncovered”.
‘Do not tell lies’.
If you tell lies you may deceive others, but you cannot hide the lies from yourself, and then knowing that you have lied, you will have put on the dissociations of self-condemnation and shame. It is better to die in Truth than live in the denial of it.
‘And do not do what you hate’.
You must do what is in your heart. To do otherwise is to do what you hate, and to make yourself a liar. There is no gain in doing things that are absent of sincerity. If you do what you hate, then you will become the servant of what you hate, and what you hate will become your master.
‘For all things are plain in the sight of the child within. For nothing hidden will not become seen, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered’.
In the mind of the child within is an open book. This Child Within has not been given to condemn those who have dissociated, but rather it is given to prepare those who know they have dissociated, and wish to turn from dissociation, and enter the reality, freedom and power of the child within. We do not have the knowledge of what we do as dissociates.
“Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man”.
Interpretation:
A person may have two self-identities/two egos; one as a spiritual being, and the other as a physical being. The two self-identities cause the mind to be divided, which results in a struggle between the two, until one is consumed and the other becomes the master, resulting in an undivided mind. Either one of these self-identities may eventually have complete domination.
‘The lion’ represents the self-image of being a physical body.
‘The man’ represents the true image of being a spiritual being.
Blessed is the Self who knows his true identity as a spiritual being, and consumes the false identity of being a physical being.
Cursed is the Self who believes that he is no more than a physical being, and consumes his true identity as a spiritual being.
Logion 8:
And he said, “The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear”.
Interpretation of: ‘The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea’.
‘The man’ who ‘is like a wise fisherman’, is a reference to both Jesus and his disciples. See in Matthew 4:19: ‘And he said unto them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men’.
The casting of ‘the net’ refers to attracting people with the Christ teachings.
‘The sea’ refers to the collective minds of possible converts.
The ‘small fish’ represents the souls that were attracted, but were not spiritually aware enough to receive Christ’s teachings. Such people are left until they grow spiritually.
‘The large fish’ refers to the person whose soul was spiritually aware enough, and therefore worthy to receive Christ’s teachings. See Logion 62: ‘It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries that I tell my mysteries’.
The wise teacher has no problem choosing worthy students.
Interpretation of: ‘Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear’.
Let those who are capable of understanding the secret meanings of what I say, hear what I’m really saying. In other words, what was said was for those who understood the secret meanings.
Logion 9:
Jesus said, “Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure”.
Note: Before we consider the meaning of Logion 9, we must first take into consideration, its related scripture interpretation in the New Testament.
See in Mark 4:13-20: ‘Then he continued, “Do you really not understand this parable? Then how are you going to understand all the other parables? The man who sows, sows the message. As for those who are by the roadside where the message is sown, as soon as they hear it Satan comes at once and takes away what has been sown in their minds. Similarly, the seed sown among the rocks represents those who hear the message without hesitation and accept it joyfully. But they have no real roots and do not last - when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they give up their faith at once. Then there are the seeds which were sown among thorn-bushes. These are the people who hear the message, but the worries of this world and the false glamour of riches and all sorts of other ambitions creep in and choke the life out of what they have heard, and it produces no crop in their lives. As for the seed sown on good soil, this means the men who hear the message and accept it and do produce a crop - thirty, sixty, even a hundred times as much as they received”.
The meaning is spelt out quite well in the Gospel of Mark, but there are still a few things that need explaining to fully understand what has been written.
Interpretation of: ‘Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them’.
The sower is the one who is teaching the message of Christ. The handful of seeds represents the teachings. The scattering of the seeds represents giving some of the teachings to the people.
Note: The first thing to notice is that both the Logion and its related scripture, take into consideration four different types of people, and their reactions when they receive the teachings.
Interpretation of: ‘Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up’.
Some teachings were listened to by onlookers , who were referred to as ‘birds’, because they thought they were already free, and had all that they needed. They rejected the teachings immediately, because these people were those who were referred to as; the spiritually blind and dead.
Interpretation of: ‘Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears’.
These are the people who accepted the teachings, because the teachings sounded good, and made them feel good and respected by others, but when their faith in the Love and Truth within the teachings was tested, they rejected the teachings, because the teachings had not taken root in their minds, and therefore also were not in their hearts.
Interpretation of: ‘And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed and worms ate them’.
The explanation in Mark 4 is very good and so the only thing that needs clarifying is the reference to ‘worms’. The worms represent the subconscious reasoning’s that consume conscious reasoning’s.
Interpretation of: ‘And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure’.
The good soil of course is the fertile mind of the spiritually aware soul, also referred to as, ‘the large fish’.
The good fruit is of course the Love and Truth that has grown from the seeds (teachings) that were planted in the mind.
The seeds grow into vines and produce fruit that contains even more seeds. This is how Love and Truth is spread.
“We have cast fire upon the world, and see, We are guarding it until it blazes”.
The truth which we have delivered at Dissociation Anonymous and the ten stage course , has caused a fire of discontentment in the minds of those who have heard it; a fire that will destroy the lies in their minds, and awaken us to our truth and freedom; a fire that will cause discontentment with society and its manipulating ways. The Child within has been guarding that fire until it blazed, and we began to call out for our Truth to be revealed.
‘Do not tell lies’.
If you tell lies you may deceive others, but you cannot hide the lies from yourself, and then knowing that you have lied, you will have put on the dissociations of self-condemnation and shame. It is better to die in Truth than live in the denial of it.
‘And do not do what you hate’.
