ABOUT THE ANGELS’ AND THE WORLDLY TEACHING

METHODS
The calling of women. Mothers ought to be the most excellent
teachers.

[1] Ebahl and Jarah supported Julius’ testimony and said they were
making their journey to Sidom precisely on account of this rare
miracle-man, in order to possibly still encounter Him one more time,
as the daughters longing for Him was too intense. Cyrenius made
out to be much surprised at how the hardly thirteen or fourteen
seasons old maiden could be so much in love, particularly since he
(Cyrenius) was aware of a most endearing and beautiful youth
constantly escorting her. It therefore was even more astonishing that
the beautifully tender little maiden could, at the side of the
exceptionally beautiful youth fall so mortally in love with an already
old looking man, such as the human Zeus is said to be.
[2] Whoever has come to know Jarah these previous events at
Genezareth knows that she won’t easily back down from a dispute,
and so she also said to Cyrenius: “Esteemed lord and governor! How
can you now in front of us betray, and count among the dead gods of
Rome, for political expediency, Him whose godly light and grace is
streaming forth manifold from all your parts!? [3] Behold, I feel His
nearness, and you do so yourself, and yet you would, as it were deny
Him; behold, this is not very commendable of you, nor is it very
commendable of Julius that he should, as it were betray in a certain
way, the most holy and righteous to you, oh esteemed Lord!
[4] It is furthermore not at all praiseworthy of you to accuse me of a
kind of coarse enamoring; for I love Him only, as all men should, as
my creator, as my God and Lord, and worship Him in my heart as
purely as can be for a mortal maiden. If so however, how am I in
love with Him in a crude manner? Here, ask this my guide and
teacher; he shall be better able than I to analyze it for you; for he
possesses more power in all things than all the world’s wise and all
heroes of the Earth’s kingdoms, with the exclusive exception of Him
Who I am seeking here. Hence just ask this youth, and you are
bound to get the right answer from him.”
[5] Cyrenius was about to ask the youth, but the boy Josoe held him
back, by saying to him in confidence: “Be certain not to take on this
youth, for he is like the one visiting me occasionally! For this type
of being tolerate nothing unclean, and hence no unseemly questions;
for their life and being is nothing other than God’s flame-light.”
[6] Says Cyrenius to Ebahl: “Is not this your daughter, and a Jew;
hence it is astonishing to see so much of the deepest wisdom resides
in her! This surely she could not have learnt in just a few days from
the Master of Masters, and even less from that certain youth?!
Because these kind of teachers, although extremely rare, usually are
not very successful in their instructing of us mortal mankind! This I
know from experience with my son Josoe whom, although not
fathered by me, I have accepted for good as my son. A Rabbi comes
also to him, from time to time. After they are together for a time
however, one does not really know who actually is in the right;
because after often divergent views, they in the end are both right.
This instruction in its entirety seems to be no more than a conflict of
wisdom, from which eventually both parties emerge as victors.
[7] My Josoe frequently is so heated up against his mystic master
that he wants him removed but the master does not allow himself to
be led astray by it, asserting his often crassest nonsense, and only
lets some light come through towards the end. And so I assume that
the handsome Rabbi does similarly with your daughter.”
[8] Says Ebahl: “Yes indeed, exalted Commander, it is completely
so; I on my part can never quite work out who is ultimately correct.
The thing seems to remain undecided in the main. There is never
any talk of some positive teaching. The young spirit appears to
simply try to confound his student’s concepts, and the latter then has
to straighten them out of himself as best he can. There can be no talk
of any assistance, and as such there are always undecided matters in
the end. If the student wants to fully demolish the Rabi’s
corrections, then he has to encounter the mentor with absolutely
foolproof negations, to prevent the Rabbi from moving left or right.
This is then proof that the student is in the right; but without the fool
proof rejoinders, the student is always in the wrong, even if setting
up the most justified assertions: Oh, my Jarah has had her Rabbi in a
real noose, and he himself would not know how to get out of it, had
not the maiden gotten him loose, which he conceded.
[9] Verily, the celestial method of teaching often is most peculiar.
Here it is the student who usually instructs the teacher, and the
teacher is always happy if he has learnt something from the student.
But the thing always gets on in true celestial affability, and I am
always glad to watch such teaching method, for one learns more in
an hour than from a worldly Rabbi in a year.
[10] With the worldly Rabbi, the pupil stays a slave, physically and
spiritually, for he can learn only what his physically and even more
so, spiritually crippled Rabbi is capable of, and knows himself.
Whether that be false or true, the pupil may inquire only at the peril
of a severe punishment! Of what concern to such chubby-cheeked
worldly Rabbi the pupil’s inner spiritual inclinations, and abilities?
There the thing is: eat birdie or die. In short, today’s teaching
method resembles a helmet that fits all heads, or a bed in which all
men can rest with comfort! The giant Goliath certainly would look
surprised if offered a cradle to rest in!
[11] I have not seldom seen children who already in their most
tender years manifested a truly gigantic spirit. What these may not
have grown into, if they had been taught in accordance with their
ability! But they were taught basket-work like the feeble-minded,
allowing their spirit a stunting, so to say! And this I regard as greatly
unjust! For what supreme service such developed spirit could have
given humanity. But of what use when stunted? It weaves baskets
and finally catches fish and mussels.
[12] But here I see the immense difference between the vain and
mostly foolish worldly Rabbis, and, on the other hand, the now most
wonderfully current celestial Rabbi. This trains the spirit in freedom,
helping it to get up as it were and through all kinds of questions
awakening it, from within the peculiar nature of the individual;
whilst the worldly Rabbis seek to suppress and kill it! Exalted
Commander over all Asia, am I right or not?”
[13] Says Cyrenius: “Completely indeed, my worthy host Ebahl!
This has long been my view; but what has so far been done about it?
I admit it: nothing at all! Because we ourselves lacked a proper
foundation, where from should therefore those worldly Rabbis have
received it? The poor devils in the end have to teach the children
whatever they themselves received from us, and hence they are blind
leaders of the blind!
[14] We have now indeed gotten to know the holy truth from the
One, and are well able to distinguish the light from the darkness; but
quite a few baskets shall still be woven by some gigantic spirit
before all men on this earth share this light. Tell me what in the end
is to become of your little daughter? She verily is a gigantic spirit,
and is, besides that, being taught by a celestial Rabbi. Tell me to
what purpose in the end! Hardly for that of a housewife, ultimately.”
[15] Says Ebahl: “Exalted Commander, behold our girls’ schools!
How are these administered? Verily, as an embarrassment to the
human race! And this is why a good girl’s school would indeed be
something to be devoutly wished for, because a mother, something
into which only a maiden can grow, always is the children’s most
excellent teacher. If, as they say, her spirit, heart and head are in the
right place, then her children are sure not to build their houses upon
the sand of the sea, and therefore would hardly be capable of being
led astray. If however, as has unfortunately often been the case, the
mothers are more stupid than worms, then very little or nothing is to
be expected from mothers’ tuition! Esteem Commander, am I right
here as well or not!”
