| 1963-04-12 [exact/certain/final] | The Resurrection | “Touch me not as I have not yet ascended.” That statement… I heard it by Wilberforce, who was once Dean of Canterbury. He said the true translation of the phrase is, “Hold me not back by your tears and your sorrow because of my going. That you, by your emotional upheaval because of my exit, are holding me in your sphere.” So do not by your sense of loss of me hold me back because mind communes with mind. So free me. Let me go. For if I do not go, the Holy Spirit cannot come, so let me go. But if by one’s sense of loss you’re always thinking of the departed with a sense of heavy loss, you’re… | 530193 |
| 1963-12-08 [exact/certain/final] | What Is Truth | This past month in New York City, I had one of these marathon radio… it ran five hours through the night. I had two of them, really. But this night, my opponent was Rabbi Silver and Kylie [...], the actor, and then, [...] Oursler, the son of Fulton Oursler who wrote The Greatest Story Ever Told. He’s quite a successful writer in his own name. They were my opponents and the moderator was [...] John. Well, the Rabbi said to me, “Don’t you tell your people to give to certain charities, to give to this, to give to that, to give to the other?” I said, “No, I don’t.” “Then what sort of a teacher… | 530618 |

There are three tests given. The first is the hunger not for earthly things but for the hearing of the word of God, can you become that hungry? Well, that’s his first test. The second test, when “Cast yourself down. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” I was on a marathon one night in New York City, six hours on radio from midnight until six in the morning with a panel of five and a moderator. This professor said to me when I was speaking… | 548652 |
| 1969-06-06 [exact/probable/final] | The Nature of God Is Revealed in Us | Then comes the challenge: Well, if that is so, why don’t you command these stones to be made bread? Why don’t you throw yourself down? Is it not written he gives his angels power to support you? Why don’t you get down and worship me and I’ll give you the world? And to all of these, “Get behind me, doubter” . So everyone will put you to the test. You make a statement that imagining creates reality and one fella on radio one night…he’s a professor of psychology in an eastern college…and he said to me, “Turn that yellow pencil into red.” So I said to him quite innocently, “You are fulfilling… | 543941 |
