FEED; FEEDING
Symbolic of the dispensing of truth and goodness
to the qualities, or imparting instruction to the mind and soul.
"Simon Peter saith unto Jesus, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love
thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. . . Feed my
sheep." - JOHN xxi. 15-17.
Here the disciplined lower mind (Peter) is represented as growing in
grace and in truth, and therefore becoming capable of instructing
the qualities. At first the command of the indwelling Christ is to
give instruction to the minor virtues (lambs), but afterwards as
love of truth and righteousness increases, the lower mind is
enjoined to instruct the major virtues (sheep). Then the allegory
goes on to describe how the lower mind, at first a law to itself,
shall when purified and perfected and ruled by the Spirit within, be
crucified," and transmuted, and so disappear as lower mind, being
carried away and its elements dissolved by the Supreme Law.
"To feed means to teach." - SWEDEN. BORG, Apocalypse Revealed, n.
383.
"God is Love and Goodness. Fill the soul with goodness, and fill the
soul with love, that is the filling it with God. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in There is nothing else that can satisfy." -
F. W. ROBERTSON, Sermons, 3rd Series, p. 259.
