P/GoTh:
quote They said to him, "Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you." He said to them, "You examine the face of Heaven and earth, but you have not come to know the one who is in your presence, and you do not know how to examine the present moment." unquote
Form: Nothing material, Heaven capitalized.
Content: This little exchange exposes how the ego is rooted in the past, and cannot recognize the reality of spirit in the present because it is so rooted in the past. So again ego and spirit are two mutually exclusive thought systems. The ego has nothing to contribute to helping us recognize Jesus in our presence, or else salvation would be under the ego's "imprimatur" and thus the ego would stay in charge, when the point is that we leave it behind.
