Recently, a Tao Qin shared the painting of "Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight" on Facebook. When I saw the painting, it immediately inspired me to use it and create this picture of our Heavenly Mother saving another child through Jesus.
Every Saint/Sage received the same mandate from our Heavenly Mother to carry out his/her mission as per the Heavenly Decree from our Heavenly Mother.
They appeared at predestined timing (different era) and different parts of the world and their methods could be different (language used, rituals used etc) but the aim is the same - to propagate the Heavenly Tao and bring salvation to the masses as per our Heavenly Mother's wishes. Therefore, One who believes in our Heavenly Mother knows when to withdraw oneself from contentious arguments such as which Saint/Sage to believe in. Instead, one should spend time cultivating oneself, maintaining a strong faith in Tao and practise Tao in the daily life.
Extracted from the New testament - NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)
Mark 10:46-52
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
Relationship with Tao
So this was how Jesus provided hints in the Bible about the transmission of the heavenly Tao to his disciples in that era. The "sight" mentioned wasn't referring to the blind man's eyes regaining the ability to see. Jesus Christ had also said, "Anyone who does not carry his Cross and follow me, cannot be my disciple."
What is the Cross? It is the door (Heavenly Portal) where our soul enters and leaves the body and it shows the divine path that leads your soul back to Heaven when it is time to leave this earthly body.
Where is it located? Because it is a Heavenly secret, only enlightened masters can reveal its location in a divine protected prayer hall. The process is known as receiving the Heavenly Tao. The Heavenly Portal allows us to transcend the cycle of death and rebirth, provided we cultivate Tao diligently and earnestly.
After receiving the Heavenly Tao, one must always bring back our awareness to the Heavenly Portal, which has the ability to rid of any unwanted distraction and secondly, to purify our thoughts by dissipating the darkness and attain calmness in mind and heart. Thereafter, the True Self will be in charge and our thoughts and actions will be in line with our conscience. This is the essence of Tao cultivation.
摘录 圣经文 马可福音10:46-52
治好瞎眼的巴底买
46 他们进了耶利哥。耶稣、门徒和一大群人从耶利哥出来的时候，有一个瞎眼的人，是底买的儿子，名叫巴底买，坐在路旁讨饭。
47 他听见是拿撒勒人耶稣，就喊叫，说：「大卫的子孙耶稣啊，可怜我吧！」 48 许多人斥责他，叫他不要出声；他却更加放声喊叫：「大卫的子孙啊，可怜我吧！」
49 耶稣就站住，说：「把他叫过来。」他们就叫那瞎眼的人，对他说：「放心吧，起来，他叫你了。」
50 他就丢下衣服，跳起来，走到耶稣那里。 51 耶稣对他说：「你要我为你作什么呢？」
瞎眼的人对他说：「拉波尼，我要能看见。”
52 耶稣说：「去吧，你的信使你痊愈了。」他立刻看见了，就在路上跟随耶稣。
