The Essence of Symbols

After those many years, humanity still lives in confusion regarding the significance of the symbols that were used in the Second Era, during the time in which the Christ lived and walked over this earth.

Far from the material nature of the bread and wine, its spiritual meaning is something that hasn't been quite explained yet at its fullest to the men and women that follow the different Christian religions and sects.

"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. "And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26:26-28

Thus, for example, many believe due to literalism that the Christ changed, in fact, the nature of the bread that He broke and of the wine that He shared with His beloved friends and disciples.

After all, He changed water into wine years before, at the Cana wedding, isn't?

Well, yes, but there is quite a difference between the two events: At Cana, the guests to the wedding were to drink wine... actual wine; and you know what? They did!

But, does it make any sense that instead of eating bread, the disciples ate actual flesh from their friend and Master? And do you really believe that they drank actual blood instead of the symbolic wine?

If this has happened, where was the lesson, where the teaching and the deep significance of those moments?

Is it wise to think that they, Jesus and His disciples, performed some sort of cannibalistic ritual just before the announced departure of Jesus, instead of talking about much more elevated things?

"Truly feel that you are at My table, waiting for Me to distribute the bread and offer you the wine. You know that I speak to you in a figurative meaning, reminding you of My Word of the Second Era, since the bread is My Word and the wine the Divine essence contained therein.

"Bread and wine, flesh and blood, manna and water; all of that has been the representation of love and life, which is the eternal sustenance of your spirit.

"The manna of the wilderness and the water of the rock represented, in its time, the bread and wine of the spirit; they are the same symbols that I partook at My table when, surrounded by My disciples, I said to them: "Eat and drink, this is My body and this is My blood." With this lesson I opened before mankind a new era, that of love.

"Today, new disciples congregate around Me and the multitudes follow My footsteps again; but no longer is the figurative meaning, nor the parable, the means through which I come to make you understand the divine lessons. It is the clear word which speaks to your mind with a Divine essence, that you can only perceive through your spirit.

"Meditate on these lessons disciples, and you will come to understand that the time of the figurative meaning and of the symbols is about to end, because your spiritual evolution and your mental development will permit you to better comprehend the truth.

"I am among you, although you cannot touch Me with your hands, nor behold Me with your physical eyes. I come in Spirit to speak to you and to teach you how you should seek Me in your prayer.

"I will not leave any material trace of My new manifestation, just as I did not leave any during the Second Era, in spite of having lived among you.

"Humanity is inclined to idolatry and to consecrate material objects to regard them as divine and make them an object of adoration.

"What would have become of mankind if they would have been able to retain My body, the cross of My torment, or the bitter cup of that Last Supper with My disciples? However, everything was erased so that only My Divine essence would remain within the spirit of humanity.

"In previous times I also withdrew from the sight of men, both the objects which had served as symbols, as well as the envoys or interpreters.

"In the First Era, while upon a mountain, Moses disappeared from his people who idolized him. Elijah, the prophet of fire, was lost among a cloud which lifted him from the Earth. One and the other, like Jesus, left in the spirits only the trace of their deeds as spiritual essence." Teaching 74:2-9

The same Christ that taught us to render God a spiritual worship, was to contradict Himself at the last moment, oblivious to His own doctrine, lived and demonstrated during all His human life?

Reflect upon this, and you will clearly see that the spiritual essence of the Cenacle, bread and wine, the crown of thorns, the cross and the wound at Jesus side, was profound and endless.
