Exodus 19
Exodus 19
.

1 After a period of renewal - after the children of Israel came out of the hypnotic state of Egypt - it was then that spiritual sense began to eclipse their material sense^.
This part of KING JAMES VERSION will be added later on.
2 They had departed from soothing Rephidim^ to come to Sinai^; they began replacing human concepts with divine ideas, and there Israel was before the heights of divine Mind.
.....
3 Now Moses scaled toward the heights of infinite Mind, and the Lord directed him by the grand facts of Being, revealing, "This is how you will instruct the progeny of Jacob and teach the children of Israel:
.....
4 "You have seen what the all-inclusive I-am did to Egyptian ego, and how the infinite I-am uplifted you with holy aspirations and communed with you.
.....
5 "Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey my word, and keep watch according to my covenant, then you will be a precious treasure to me above all the people, for all the sphere of Mind is mine.
.....
6 "And you will be to me a kingdom of priests and an holy sovereignty. These are the words which you must convey to the offspring of Israel."
.....
7 Moses then summoned the leaders of the people, and set forth the teachings of the Lord as he had been commanded.
.....
8 All the people replied in unity, "We will do all that the Lord has revealed." Then Moses affirmed this by the holy presence of the Lord.
.....
9 And the Lord revealed to Moses, "Lo, the omnipotent I-am comes to you densely veiled, but the people may perceive that you do commune with the only I-am, that they can understand you forever." And Moses affirmed the resolve of the people to God.
.....
10 Then the Lord revealed to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them now and always, and let them clothe their thought in purity.
.....
11 "And be prepared for resurrection, for in the third stage of resolve the Lord will be discerned by all the people of mount Sinai^.
.....
12 "You must show the people that they should not attempt to achieve the divine ultimate^ in a single bound, and instruct them: Take heed to yourselves that you do not try to reach the spiritual ultimate^ at once, nor handle the extreme depths of it, for whoever attempts to exceed their understanding will be cast back into darkness.
.....
13 "No one should attempt to handle the utmost^ truth before taking all the preceding footsteps, for if so, that one will be accused or wounded; whether it be a denial or an affirmation, it will not succeed; when, at length, they overcome the last carnal imperfection, then can they reach the spiritual ultimate^."
.....
14 Now Moses met the people on their level^, and consecrated them, and they were clothed in purity.
.....
15 Then he declared to the people, "Prepare for resurrection of your divine nature; abstain from carnal temptation."
.....
16 And on the third stage of enlightening and ascending thought, there was a great magnetic disturbance^, and the spiritual ultimate^ was densely beclouded, but the expression of wisdom's call^ became exceedingly strong, so that all the people shuddered.
.....
17 Then Moses led the people out of a material encampment to commune with God, and they stood at the beginning of understanding.
.....
18 Mount Sinai^ was obscured by the haze of carnal thought because of mental chemicalization; and the smoke of darkness ascended into light as from the devouring elements of purification, and all the people shuddered.
.....
19 And when, at length, the call of wisdom^ came, and grew clearer and clearer, Moses communed with the thunderous word of God.
.....
20 The Lord's omnipresence included mount Sinai^, at its highest point, and the Lord directed Moses to scale toward the heights of Mind, and Moses did so.
.....
21 Now the Lord revealed to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, unless they attempt to force^ their way through to a discernment of the absolute, and many of them painfully fail.
.....
22 "Let the priests who commune with the Lord consecrate themselves, so that the Science of absolute being may gently break forth^ upon them."
.....
23 Moses clarified the rule of divine Mind, "The people will not force their way through to the spiritual ultimate^, for divine Principle prohibits it as the absolute Science of being is set apart and is holy."
.....
24 Then the Lord revealed to Moses, "Go back for Aaron and bring him with you, but do not allow the priests and the people to force^ their way up to the Lord, lest they will be set back."
.....
25 So Moses met the people on their level, and instructed them.
