Paul made but one mistake. No, not by serving the Roman centurion. He was an exemplary soldier. His error came much later. In spite of his esoteric vision on the way to Damascus, he continued to regard the phenomenal world as real.
Although
seemingly converted to Yeshûa’s teaching, and doing his best to fulfill
what he considered his duty, he missed the essence
of the teaching.
He tried to create the Kingdom of God on Earth
As
the consequence of his committed efforts, he was instrumental in
organizing a Church, an organization, that serves the body and not the
spirit of man. A Church of Phenomenal Reality. A Church of the ephemeral, illusory
result—not of the Cause.
Only
in his last days, in Rome, when his labours could not be undone, Paul
understood the mystery of true reality. Thanks to Peter.
Peter
did his best to explain to Paul the mystery of inner life. Peter had a
great advantage. He lived with his Master for three years. He saw and
experienced firsthand the metamorphosis of energy performed by Yeshûa on
many occasions. They called them miracles and, by the phenomenal
standards, they were.
Peter
witnessed, first hand, that the reality of the phenomenal world was
tenuous, flexible, impermanent at best, and hence, Yeshûa could change
its nature. Later, Peter as well his colleagues, the apostles, could
also do that — by the power within, not without. By the power of the
unshakable faith, of the unwavering adamant consciousness, they followed
in the spiritual footsteps of their Master.
And let us never forget that ‘spiritual’ means effulgent in the highest state of consciousness.
Hence my novel: PETER & PAUL.
Yeshûa is gone. Times of agony, lonesomeness, murder, treachery, and
destruction follow. The inhuman struggle to spread the Word among people
set in pagan ways calls for the ultimate sacrifice. Yet love emerges
victorious.
PETER & PAUL
exemplify the Few (that are chosen) and the Many (that are called).
Peter was among the very few. Paul, among the relatively many. And let
us never forget that the overwhelming majority of people were not even
been called. They are still awaiting their “First Coming”.
The
book also includes preliminary research for this novel, which led the
author to his conclusions. These notes initiated and later became weekly
blogs. Enjoy!
