MEDITATION

I wonder how many of you realize that the “cup” and not the “cross” was the greatest symbol of Chirstendom?

Do you realize it was Peter and not Paul who kept the “Master’s” work and word going? The Golden Sun Disc (Aton) was the symbol of eternal God.

The CUP was the beloved symbol let by the “Teacher” as reminder to His people. The cup in point is of “clay”, Mark was asked, and did so, to bring to the Teacher a cup of simple clay for his last sup with His people—to remind them of humility and that is the “fruit” and not the things of physical (silver cups) which is in point. The clay cup discovered within the Chalice of Antioch found later was not the original used by Esu.

Mark took the cup from where it rested and returned it to his mother, to whom it belonged—as second-best table equipment, Silver was the best and Mark’s mother was a wealthy widow so the act was one of intent, not accident. The intent was to use that which was of “earth” substance of which all things are created. The Cup, itself, represents spiritual truth or truth of faith.

Something strange happened to that cup, however. Mark noted that in the dimly lit room where the cups were placed—this one glowed. Therefore he took it to his room and put it away for safe keeping. He kept it for some fourteen years—showing it periodically as ones would gather.

The Cup became recognized as the Chalice of Antioch but this was not so. The cup was taken to Antioch by Barnabas and Paul (who had by now worked his way within the group of friends). The Chalice was mode of silver and “contained” a cup of clay of the same size.

Peter carried with him the cup he had used himself at the Last Gathering. This he gave to Linus, the Greek artist who fashioned the magnificent chalice that held the humble clay cup. The clay cup was replaced by the silver cup of Peter.

The point is not very big but the concept is most important for I am asked about the “places of the Lion” and you ones seem to know very little about that which I speak. The stories are all entangled with Linus, Solomon, Rahotep, Akhnaton and Peter—who were all considered and identified in the underground circles as “Lions” and the “Lion-throne”.

The point is that in the worship of “things” you are going to be most often misled. The Chalice of Antioch, for instance, is authentic in that it ONCE HELD the cup in point, but it no longer holds that Cup any more than the Glastonbury Chalice holds it! Therefore, ye who would worship and do reverence at the altars of decoration and ritual are very likely worshiping a replica—an idol of some sort, if you will.

THE THINGS OF GOD ARE WITHIN THE HEART AND THE SOUL IS THE “CUP” OF GOD OF ETERNAL LIFE TO BE REFILLED UPON PETITION. AH, INDEED, ‘TIS THE CUP AND NOT THE CROSS UNTO WHICH YOU MUST TURN THAT YOUR CUP MIGHT BE FILLED TO OVERFLOW. One day perhaps we shall find the time to write of these wondrous traditions. This day, however, we shall move on with our story already underway.
