46:5.23These seven cir­cles are sur­rounded by the ex­hibit pan­o­rama of Je­ru­sem, five thou­sand stan­dard miles in cir­cum­fer­ence, which is de­voted to the pre­sen­ta­tion of the ad­vanc­ing sta­tus of the peo­pled worlds of Sa­ta­nia and is con­stantly re­vised so as to truly rep­re­sent up-to-date con­di­tions on the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. I doubt not that this vast prom­e­nade over­look­ing the cir­cles of the an­gels will be the first sight of Je­ru­sem to claim your at­ten­tion when you are per­mit­ted ex­tended leisure on your ear­lier vis­its.

150:4.2Je­sus ar­ranged the date for meet­ing the twelve at Naz­a­reth, and in part­ing, he said: “On this mis­sion go not to any city of the gen­tiles, nei­ther go into Samaria, but go in­stead to the lost sheep of the house of Is­rael. Preach the gospel of the king­dom and pro­claim the sav­ing truth that man is a son of God. Re­mem­ber that the dis­ci­ple is hardly above his mas­ter nor a ser­vant greater than his lord. It is enough for the dis­ci­ple to be equal with his mas­ter and the ser­vant to be­come like his lord. If some peo­ple have dared to call the mas­ter of the house an as­so­ciate of Beelze­bub, how much more shall they so re­gard those of his house­hold! But you should not fear these un­be­liev­ing en­e­mies. I de­clare to you that there is noth­ing cov­ered up that is not go­ing to be re­vealed; there is noth­ing hid­den that shall not be known. What I have taught you pri­vately, that preach with wis­dom in the open. What I have re­vealed to you in the in­ner cham­ber, that you are to pro­claim in due sea­son from the house­tops. And I say to you, my friends and dis­ci­ples, be not afraid of those who can kill the body, but who are not able to de­stroy the soul; rather put your trust in Him who is able to sus­tain the body and save the soul.

151:3.1The apos­tles were para­ble-minded, so much so that the whole of the next evening was de­voted to the fur­ther dis­cus­sion of para­bles. Je­sus in­tro­duced the evening’s con­fer­ence by say­ing: “My beloved, you must al­ways make a dif­fer­ence in teach­ing so as to suit your pre­sen­ta­tion of truth to the minds and hearts be­fore you. When you stand be­fore a mul­ti­tude of vary­ing in­tel­lects and tem­per­a­ments, you can­not speak dif­fer­ent words for each class of hear­ers, but you can tell a story to con­vey your teach­ing; and each group, even each in­di­vid­ual, will be able to make his own in­ter­pre­ta­tion of your para­ble in ac­cor­dance with his own in­tel­lec­tual and spir­i­tual en­dow­ments. You are to let your light shine but do so with wis­dom and dis­cre­tion. No man, when he lights a lamp, cov­ers it up with a ves­sel or puts it un­der the bed; he puts his lamp on a stand where all can be­hold the light. Let me tell you that noth­ing is hid in the king­dom of heaven which shall not be made man­i­fest; nei­ther are there any se­crets which shall not ul­ti­mately be made known. Even­tu­ally, all these things shall come to light. Think not only of the mul­ti­tudes and how they hear the truth; take heed also to your­selves how you hear. Re­mem­ber that I have many times told you: To him who has shall be given more, while from him who has not shall be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

165:3.2“What I have many times said to my apos­tles and to my dis­ci­ples, I now de­clare to this mul­ti­tude: Be­ware of the leaven of the Phar­isees which is hypocrisy, born of prej­u­dice and nur­tured in tra­di­tional bond­age, al­beit many of these Phar­isees are hon­est of heart and some of them abide here as my dis­ci­ples. Pres­ently all of you shall un­der­stand my teach­ing, for there is noth­ing now cov­ered that shall not be re­vealed. That which is now hid from you shall all be made known when the Son of Man has com­pleted his mis­sion on earth and in the flesh.

165:3.3“Soon, very soon, will the things which our en­e­mies now plan in se­crecy and in dark­ness be brought out into the light and be pro­claimed from the house­tops. But I say to you, my friends, when they seek to de­stroy the Son of Man, be not afraid of them. Fear not those who, al­though they may be able to kill the body, af­ter that have no more power over you. I ad­mon­ish you to fear none, in heaven or on earth, but to re­joice in the knowl­edge of Him who has power to de­liver you from all un­righ­teous­ness and to pre­sent you blame­less be­fore the judg­ment seat of a uni­verse.

44:4.95. The broad­cast di­rec­tors. The broad­casts of Par­a­dise, the super­uni­verses, and the lo­cal uni­verses are un­der the gen­eral super­vi­sion of this group of thought con­servers. They serve as cen­sors and ed­i­tors as well as co-or­di­na­tors of the broad­cast ma­te­rial, mak­ing a super­uni­verse adap­ta­tion of all Par­a­dise broad­casts and adapt­ing and trans­lat­ing the broad­casts of the An­cients of Days into the in­di­vid­ual tongues of the lo­cal uni­verses.

25:6.2As the re­cord­ers ad­vance in uni­verse ser­vice, they con­tinue their sys­tem of dual record­ing, thus mak­ing their rec­ords al­ways avail­able to all classes of be­ings, from those of the ma­te­rial or­der to the high spir­its of light. In your tran­si­tion ex­pe­ri­ence, as you as­cend from this ma­te­rial world, you will al­ways be able to con­sult the rec­ords of, and to be oth­er­wise con­ver­sant with, the his­tory and tra­di­tions of your sta­tus sphere.
