Verse 96

Jesus said, “The kingdom of the Father is like [a certain] woman. She took a little leaven, [concealed] it in some dough, and made it into large loaves. Let him who has ears hear.”

This holy woman is your Neshamah; you and your life are the dough. The yeast is the Holy Spirit that she brings into you and your life. On account of her, your Nefesh grows and evolves, and your Ruach comes to perfection. The kingdom of the Father is the reality of your secret and undying soul. The kingdom is within you and all around you when you bring it forth from within you.

In truth, every level and manifestation of consciousness-force or energy-intelligence is a secret operation of the Holy Spirit. Even matter itself is a dense manifestation of the Spirit of God, and Nature also is the manifestation of God’s Spirit continuing his creative self-expression and revelation. She works within everyone and everything to enact God’s Will. She is the consciousness-force within and behind all of Creation and the evolutionary impulse in Creation and all God’s creatures. Her aim in the human being and Creation is the manifestation of the kingdom of God—the fruition of God’s Creation in conscious union with him.

The sense of the mystery, the impulse to seek and find, to search and discover, to strive and struggle for a greater good and more noble existence, the yearning to unite oneself with one’s source and Creator, this is the Holy Spirit within the individual and Creation, seeking to reunite herself with her Beloved, the Holy One of Being. She is the desire to receive and the desire to impart, the active agent of God’s Will.

Like her Beloved, the One-Without-End (Ain Sof), she is mysterious and invisible. You will never see her at any time, but drawing near to the Lord, receiving your higher intelligence (Ruach), your heavenly soul (Neshamah), and the Holy Spirit who comes with these, her companions, you will experience her presence and power. Even before you have attained the holy rungs of Ruach and Neshamah, you will experience her presence and power, for she is the presence and power of life and consciousness itself, and you live and are self-aware on account of her.

She is the virgin mother of the soul of the Messiah, the holy mother and bride of the God. It is she who will give birth to Christ in you, and to Christ-consciousness in the world. The soul of the Messiah has come into the world to pour forth the Holy Spirit upon the world, imparting her presence and power to the elect, that, through the faithful and elect, she might labor for the Second Coming and the manifestation of the kingdom of God. The Holy One has ascended into the heavens, to sit at the right hand of the heavenly Father and enter into the repose. She has remained below with the earthly mother as her midwife in birthing Messianic consciousness, living in exile among us until the day of be-with-us. She is the yeast of the bread of heaven, something small, within and hidden, that makes something great and glorious. She is the active power of redemption and she will lift you up with herself into the bridal chamber.

The Spirit who lives in me, she will accomplish everything. The promise of God is assured through faith and fulfilled through Grace. Praise God! Praise the Lord! Thanks be unto the Lord our God for mercy and Grace! Amen.
