FOLLOW ME

FOLLOW ME
I consider that when Jesus said "Follow Me" that he was saying to his fellow-Essenes and near friends, that the time is ripe to bring the Universal Truths, taught in the Essene group, outwards in its completeness (John the Baptist made public already the Baptism ceremony, which was a tradition of the Essenes taken over from the Greek Mystery schools).

Men will not simply follow another man because he want such an action. There must have been a certain deliberation about the subject within the meetings of the Essene community.

When Jesus said "Follow me" we have to realize that He could not have meant that the apostles and we are to follow Him just in every outer act. He must have been referring to the laws back of His teachings that we are to follow.

Some of these truths are:
1. Jesus emphasized "the Father within.
2. In His salutation in what we term "the Lord's Prayer" (or "our Lord's Prayer") Jesus unified us with Himself in relation to the Fatherhood of God when He said "Our Father."

Metaphysically seen, we must follow the Jesus thought in us as the leading thought to an process of spiritual awakening.
