Hi Hazel,

I am reminded herein of the story of how the River Jordan one day changed its direction, from south to north. As such, by the time of Peter, the fisherman, the river Jordan was a rather dismal lake of poor means to catch fish, except by night and setting down the nets for a possible catch. Yet, one day the Christ came up and gazed into the eyes of Peter, and said: "Let's sail. I will make these fish whop to be catched". Then, they left the boat in order to catch men. Peter broke down over the experience.

"Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 2 and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets. 3 And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the people from the boat. 4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.” 6 When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break; 7 so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet, saying, “Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!” 9 For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men.” 11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him. Luke 5

I find it very interesting when Steiner shares that whenever Christ Jesus leaves the land & goes out into the water in a boat to teach, that he is working from the etheric realm

And when He went on the mountain, He was in the astral realm. In the House, He was at Home in the Ego, and most effective for conducting healing. On Land, Jesus would often speak out of his own mouth, as they all walked together in the physical realm.

Yes, & The Christ also spoke from the lips of the disciples as well, that's why Judas had to kiss him, to show who he was...So interesting

And when Christ said, "I Am He", they all drew back and fell to the ground. John 18:6. You see, He still could not be touched until He drank the Cup, which made Him as vulnerable as Jesus was when praying in the Garden of Gethsemane.
