I read đź“š in “The Poem of the Man-God”, page 71, top of second page:
Jesus: “«It is always a proof that Judas is only a “man.” He cannot elevate himself to be a spirit. But, you are all more or less alike. You are afraid of silly things. You worry about useless providence. You cannot believe that Providence is powerful
and always present. Well: let us keep that to ourselves. All right?»”
Simon the Zealot: “«Yes, Master.»”
The thought that comes to mind is this, “To swing at a Spirit is like swinging at air. To become spirit(ual), and thus walk among one’s fellow creatures, many of whom are inclined towards swinging; it is much safer, and; much easier to walk among such people as spirits rather than “only as a “man””.
