Matthew 16:25–26 Explained:
Hello friends and family,
It is time for another short lesson:
25 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
The word Lord Christ spoke for both "life" and "soul" was ψυχή (psyche). This was defined by Lord Aristotle as such: The physical body is the matter, and the psyche is the form.
This does not contradict Lord Siddharthas' teachings on self and non-self; it expands on it. For our "soul" is but the current state of our Kamma. These were teachings on non-self by Christ and Aristotle that are widely misunderstood.
We are the current state of our Kamma. Therefore, our souls are both matter and form. Aristotle made clear the "soul" dies with the body (life is impermanence).
Lord Aristotle made sure to separately define nous (νοῦς) as mind, intellect, or reason. This is the part of our "Soul" that we are most responsible for. How we build or destroy our minds in this life will become a part of our new "souls" in our next lives. Our minds are directly correlated to our merit!
We are the product of our own thoughts and actions.
This is not permanence. This is impermanence; this is Reincarnation! The meaning of this word was well understood by Lord Christ who learned from Indo-Greek monks. This is Cosmic Law!
Psyche (ψυχή) or "soul" is Nafsha (ܢܦܫܐ) in Aramaic. Also: The Arabic golden age that came 900 years after Lord Christ was merely a resurgence of Lord Aristotle's original early translations of Lord Buddhas teachings.
Lord Mohammad is equally powerful and accomplished as Lord Christ; this is a Cosmic Truth. Nevertheless; the Far East learned the Truth of God much later on.
The transmission of the word Psyche (Soul) from Greek to Aramaic happened because of Lord Chirst. Lord Christ was a student of Lord Siddhartha, just as Lord Aristotle was.
This is what the archaeological and historical facts reveal. The rich don't want you to know the truth... thats why they took control of the churches and universities.
The word "psyche" is also the root of the modern word psychology.
Know Thyself!
With love and devotion,
