24. "Seek and understand the meaning of my speech, lest you may be so bold as to call me the son of god or the son of Creation, or assign to me the power of Creation, or insult me by calling me the lord over good and evil.
25. "Behold the little children, they are not like you; they trust in the truth and wisdom of my speech, and therefore wisdom shall be theirs. So why do you push them away?"
26. And he laid his hands upon them and departed from there.
27. As they were walking, Peter said to him, "Behold, we have forsaken everything to follow you; what will we get in return?"
28. But Jmmanuel replied to them, "Truly, I say to you, some of you who have followed me will embrace the wisdom of my teachings, so you will
be spiritually great in reincarnations to come. But some of you will not recognize the wisdom of my teachings and will disseminate erroneous teachings about me. those ones will have difficulty finding the truth in future incarnations.
29. "So it will be among all Earth humans everywhere from east to west, and from north to south.
30. "My beneficial teachings will be brought to many, but they will not recognize them.
31. "Many will follow erroneous teachings about me and therefore not find the truth, because they mistake me for god or his son, or perhaps even the son of Creation.
32. "They will speak big words and insist that they alone know the truth, because they will have fallen prey to an evil error and thus will follow evil and falsified teachings.
33. "Many will be first among the people because they will think as humans in their deluded teachings, but they will be last in spiritual knowledge and small in their wisdom.
34. "Wisdom will only exist where the knowledge about the truth bears fruit, and where the laws of Creation are followed and respected.
Chapter 21 - Two Blind Persons
1. When they set out on their way to Jericho, many people followed him.
2. And behold, two blind persons sat by the wayside; and when they heard Jmmanuel going by, they cried out, saying, "Oh lord, son of a celestial son, have mercy on us!"
3. The people threatened them to be quiet, but they screamed even louder, saying, "Oh, lord, son of a celestial son, have mercy on us!"
4. And Jmmanuel stood still and called out to them, asking, "What do you want me to do for you?"
5. They said to him, "Lord, open our eyes so we can glimpse the splendour of the world."
6. And he had pity on them and asked, "Whose power, do you suppose, is it that can make you see?"
7. They replied, "The power of Creation, which is in the laws."
8. Jmmanuel was astonished and said, "Truly, so far I have never found such faith and knowledge among these people. Be it done to you as you expect."
9. And he touched their eyes and immediately they could see; and they followed him.
10. As they went on their way, Jmmanuel taught the people with sincerity, and he spoke,
11 . "Truly, truly, I say to you, if you are knowledgeable and comprehending and embrace wisdom, and if you practice love truthfully and do not doubt, not only will you do such things with blind eyes, but when you say to the fig tree: 'Dry up' it will dry up. Or when you say to a mountain: 'Lift yourself up and throw yourself into the sea,' it will come to pass.
12. "Be knowledgeable in truth and wisdom, so that your spirit and your consciousness will become powerful.
13. "And when you are knowledgeable and live in the truth of wisdom, your spirit and your consciousness will be filled with infinite power.
14. "Then everything you command or ask for in prayer, you will receive if you trust in it.
15. "Do not suppose, however, that prayer is necessary, because you will also receive without prayer if your spirit and your consciousness are trained through wisdom.
16. "Do not delude yourself by heeding the falsified teachings that a person has a predetermined will, because this belief is wrong.
17. "Know this: Whatever a person may wish to accomplish, they must always first create the will to do so, because this is the law of nature.
18. "Thus a person determines the course of their life, known as fate.
