Jesus Cleanses the Temple
John 2:13-16
13
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
In the temple, he found dealers selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the
moneychangers seated at their tables. 15Jesus built a whip of chords. He
drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He
also poured out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their
tables. 16He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things
out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!”
Temple: place of worship, meditation, spiritual contemplation
Jesus: represents the Christ (or God) Consciousness facing challenges in our life.
Animals: emotions: unnecessary undisciplined, unproductive.
- for example: unhappy memories; grudges, feelings of inferiority: feelings of
superiority; envy; greed, etc.
Doves: peace of mind; confidence in Divine Law; nonresistance.
whip of chords: denials; short, simple, direct words of Truth
money changers and merchandisers [dealers]: false beliefs; incorrect sense of
values; Thinking that there are things more important than God.

Luke 9 (Also found in Mark 6:30; Matthew 14:13; John 6: 1)
10 (1)
When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. (2)
Taking them with Him, He withdrew by Himself to a city called (3) Bethsaida.
11
But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began
speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.
12
Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the crowd away, that
they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to
eat; for here we are in a desolate place."
13
But He said to them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said, "We have no more
than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people."
14
(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down
to eat (4) in groups of about fifty each."
15
They did so, and had them all sit down.
16
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and
broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people.
17
And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were
picked up, twelve (5) baskets full.
Bethsaida (aka Bethesda): A fishing town on the sea of Galilee. A state of mind in which we
are open to new ideas
Desolate Place: someplace that appears to have no productivity or usefulness
Jesus: represents the Christ Consciousness facing challenges in our life.
his hands: working power of consciousness in our world
looking up to heaven: focusing on the one true source of good.
Fish: ideas, with great possibilities of increase
Bread: Spiritual substance ready to be demonstrated in the world.
Five: our five senses -- their origin, character and purpose
Two: polarized energy in our world
in this case our ability to say YES (faith) or NO (renunciation) to the Truth.
5,000: 5=five senses; 0=as long as needed -- all their needs and hungers in the world
Disciples: Our 12 powers, or spiritual gifts from God.
Twelve: completion at the spiritual level

Mark 5
[1] They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Ger'asenes.
[2] when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs, a man with an unclean
spirit, [3] who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him anymore, even with a chain;
[4] for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the
fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.
[5] Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising
himself with stones. [6] And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;
[7] and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the
Most High God?... do not torment me."
[8] For he had said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
[9] And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are
many." [10] And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.
[11] Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;
[12] and they begged him, "Send us to the swine, let us enter them."
[13] So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the
herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned
in the sea.
Ger'asenes: strongly organized thoughts. Can be positive or negative, either faithful or
faithless.
Jesus: represents the Christ (or God) Consciousness facing challenges in our life.
A man: any man or any thought.
“Our name is Legion:” The many forms of mental illness.
Swine: unclean animal to the Jews; A mobile, lower form of life; primordial thoughts and
emotions.
Drowned in the sea: an energy form dissolved and purified into spiritual substance.
2000: 2=any polarized energy of the physical world;
0=as long as necessary; 000=emphasized!

26 N. 3rd St., Emmaus, PA 18049-2710; (610) 965-3036; UnityofLehighValley.orgDestruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
Genesis 19
[15] When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two
daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city." …
[17] And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or
stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."
[18] And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords; …[20] Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee
to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there -- is it not a little one? -- and my life will be saved!"
[21] He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of
which you have spoken. [22] Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there."
Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar….
[24] Then Jehovah rained on Sodom and Gomor'rah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of
heaven; [25] and he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities,
and what grew on the ground.
[26] But Lot's wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
All Male Characters: Thinking nature
All Female Characters: Feeling nature
Marriage: Balance between thinking and feeling
Birth: new thought or feeling, innocent, untarnished
Angels: Divine Guidance; ideas understood by our minds
Lot: Our dark side; tendency to prefer the physical world and reject its spiritual underpinnings.
City: state of mind
Zo'ar, Sodom and Gomor'rah: these three low-lying cities represent attachment, or addiction,
to the various “pleasures of the flesh” that eventually are harmful to us.
“flee to the hills:” embrace your spiritual nature; meditate; pray in your “upper room.”
brimstone and fire: cleansing of the Holy Spirit; warm activity of spirit.
Lot’s wife looking back: emotional nature yearning for the “good old days” of attachment, or
addiction.
Pillar of Salt: crystallized thoughts and emotions; sometimes appearing as illness
But easily dissolved by either fire or water.

Gen. 16
[1] Now Sar'ai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was
Hagar; …[3] So, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sar'ai, Abram's wife,
took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. [4] And he
went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with
contempt on her mistress. …[15] And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of
his son, whom Hagar bore, Ish'mael. …
[Then, Abram and Sarai both had spiritual awakenings and their names were changed to
Abraham and Sarah]
Gen. 21
[2] And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had
spoken to him. [3] Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore
him, Isaac… [9] But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham,
playing with her son Isaac. [10] So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her
son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac." [11] And the thing was
very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. [12] But God said to Abraham, "Be not
displeased because of the lad and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do
as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your descendants be named. [13] And I will make a
nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring."
[14] So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin canteen of water,
and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she
departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
All Male Characters: Thinking nature
All Female Characters: Feeling nature
Marriage: Balance between thinking and feeling
Birth: new thought or feeling, innocent, untarnished
Canaan: subconscious mind
Abram: first thoughts of faith in God. But still falters when faced with apparent hardships of the
visible world. After a spiritual awakening, his name is changed to…
Abraham: thoughts fully embracing faith in God for the first time. Still wanders as a nomad.
Sarai: Bitter; contentious! Emotions wrestling with the divine nature. After a spiritual
awakening, her name is changed to…
Sarah: emotions that are noble.
Hagar: emotions that flee spirit and are attached to apparent hardships of the visible world.
Ish’mael: thoughts that hear God, but are still attached to apparent hardships and materialism of
the visible world.
Isaac: thoughts of joy peace and serenity that comes from embracing spirit.
Beer-sheba: Understanding the spiritual foundation of the visible world
