As you read the teachings of [[the Apostles]], remember that I told them myself that there was much they would [[understand]] later, because they were not wholly ready to follow me at the time. I do not want you to allow any [[fear]] to enter into the [[thought]] system toward which I am guiding you. I do not call for [[martyrs]] but for [[teachers]]. No one is punished for sins, and the Sons of God are not sinners. Any concept of punishment involves the [[projection]] of [[blame]], and reinforces the idea that blame is justified. The result is a lesson in blame, for all [[behavior]] teaches the beliefs that [[motivate]] it. The crucifixion was the result of clearly opposed thought systems; the perfect symbol of the "[[conflict]]" between the ego and the Son of God. This conflict seems just as real now, and its lessons must be learned now as well as then. | As you read the teachings of [[the Apostles]], remember that I told them myself that there was much they would [[understand]] later, because they were not wholly ready to follow me at the time.
