Fragrance of the Bible

Siddhananda:  So, next. We do have a little clear rock there (showing a small clear rock). That's nice. Let's see (closing her eyes). Thomas ... Thomas something ... came from light like a comet. I don't know. Thomas ... hmm. So, Thomas, what questions do you have for us today (pausing). He's a spiritual man, a spiritual energy.

G: Aha

Siddhananda:  He can move like a comet, but let's see what questions [he has]. Again, I'm seeing the books. Maybe [it's] something about the scriptures. I don't know if it has something to do with the bible, because I did get a little image of that friar with the same kind of robes like a friar.

G: OK

Siddhananda: I don't know if that was his, but it's his way of saying that ... the Bible. So, let's see. What questions do you have?

G: Or, maybe he has a comment, not a question? Do you have a comment on the bible, or do you have something else to say about that, to bring forward?

Siddhananda: OK (pausing with eyes closed). I see the book and I'm hearing fragrance. [I'm seeing] like a bible open, and then I'm hearing fragrance

G: Aha

Siddhananda: Maybe he hasn't gotten to the full [Truth]. Let me ask if that's correct? Have you not gotten the full [meaning]? I don't know if he's embodied.

G: I'm wondering if this Thomas is the Thomas that wrote that book? There's a book of Thomas, that was in the Essenian Nag Hammadi? I think it's a Nag Hammadi [text] (referring to an archaeological find of papyrus codices dated back to the 2nd AD).

Siddhananda: Hmm, I'm not getting recognition with that so much. I just see that, and his energy there.

G: Aha

Siddhananda: Fragrance. Hmm, it's kind of tricky to decipher this one (pausing). He says he has a question.

G: OK

Siddhananda: ... and he says fragrance and the book and ... Ah, boy, not getting too much. Fragrance ... maybe [he's asking] how does he bring that into him more?

G: Yeah, the fragrance of the Bible

Siddhananda: He is saying, "yes" to that, and I just see a fragrance coming from this book, almost saying, how to ... (gesturing with her hands as if gathering up the fragrance and bringing into herself).

G: Ok, I think the best thing for this soul then is if he talks to Christ directly.

Siddhananda: OK.

G: It's better too ...

Siddhananda: It's only right from the source.

G: Yes, he can hear it from the source (smiling).

Siddhananda: And, I do see a comet image. Again, that's what he is reflecting back.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: (pausing) ... I think he's a pretty open, playful guy. Anyway, so to bring the Christ imagery in (asking G)?

G: Right, (closing her eyes) we're asking that the Christ come and open that wisdom to this soul.

Siddhananda: (pausing) ... And, it did stop him. I mean, he was zooming around (laughing)!

G: Haha (smiling)

Siddhananda: He was like ... boom! (gesturing to indicate rapid movement coming to a sudden halt) ... and there's that image of Christ, and He just stopped him there. I think there was a lot of movement there.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: So, he's at Christ's feet, and Christ has the Holy Bible, (has both hands out as if holding an open book) but like holding it ... like coming ... not the intellectual, but the coming with his energy through that book to him.

G: Aha, right (nodding). Right.

Siddhananda:  It's been transmitted that way ... immediately (chuckling and shaking her head with wonder).

G: Right.

Siddhananda: And, the energy is there.

G: If you want to know, then go to the source of the best part of it, yeah.

Siddhananda: Geez, what could be better than that? Man!

G: Let that be transmitted, absolutely, with clarity, yeah.

Siddhananda: That's happening now. It's a beautiful image actually, and his light is there. It just stopped him. He's at christ's feet, and that's coming through to him.

G: Aha

Siddhananda: That's the image. That's all you've got to do.

G: That's all you've got to do is ask Christ to reveal it to him. That's all.

Siddhananda: Yeah, Geez! Boy, it's a simple thing, and it really made such a huge difference. It's almost like maybe he didn't know. Maybe some just don't know.

G:  Yeah, I think they just don't know that they can ask Christ directly, especially in that plane of existence, to be revealed to them, rather than just ... oh, there's this book, and this and that ... because, the book has gotten twisted and turned. A lot of passages are not correct. So, it's best just to get the message from Christ directly, and then you REALLY get the fragrance of the book (laughing).

Siddhananda: No doubt. So, he's just still with that and that imagery. He's in good hands.

G: A lot of the books of the bible are not that great. They are coming from the author's writing, from the men that were living in that era, and it's their take on it, their take on Christ's message. It's their ideas about it.

Siddhananda: Aha, that makes sense.

G: [They were] not always the most enlightened, but (laughing) they have their own take and spin on it.

Siddhananda: It can get twisted so easily.

G: Yeah. So, there is a lot of things in there that are not of the highest caliber, not on the same things that Christ was saying.

Siddhananda: Aha

G: ...like Christ never had a problem with women. They were just as equal as men, but then you have Paul, "Saul of Tarsus," that comes in [and says] women need to be silent [in the] church, and this and that, and all this other nonsense. So, that was his take, and he's still in his own notions and hasn't broken through. He's not enlightened, and so you get a lot of that type of commentary in the Bible as well.

Siddhananda: Yeah. So, it's just hard, because you can see how if someone has confusion, things can get so twisted.

G: Right, right. So, all [of] the book was not written by the enlightened souls.

Siddhananda: Yeah

G: A lot of them were in the midst of their own journey, and it was putting down their ideas about things, etc. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of really good things in the Bible. If you read the words of Christ, [it's] excellent ...excellent.

Siddhananda: Unbelievable, I think. So good.

G: Yeah, beautiful. There's a lot of good things in the Psalms, and a lot of things in a lot of the bible, but then again, there is a lot of things like stoning, and this and that, in the old testament. Things which are ... (holding both hands out as if to say, "come on") ... uh, okay, they need to be discarded.

Siddhananda: Yeah

G: So, anyway, we'll leave that there for now.

Siddhananda:  Yeah.

G: (laughing)

Siddhananda: Well, Thomas is in good hands and quiet.

G: So, Thomas is in great hands now (smiling).

Siddhananda: Definitely!

G: We will leave Thomas and Christ to commune for a while.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: That's great.
