³⁶ Overhearing [ignoring] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

 ³⁷ He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. ³⁸ When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. ³⁹ He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” ⁴⁰ But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. ⁴¹ He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!”(which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). ⁴² Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. ⁴³ He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

 (Mark, 5:35-43)

The Spiritual Master Eugenia Comments on the Passage of the Gospel:

Often we find in Our Master and Lord Jesus this attitude of waiting for situations to reach a limit of irresolution, so that He can fully manifest His Condition of Ambassador of the Creator for the Earth and His moral ascendency over physical, psychical and human elements of the planet.

Still noteworthy, in this gospel passage: Jesus is not impressed by the appearance of finitude of possibilities (the news of the girl’s death), in a universe of infinite possibilities, as presently revealed by particle physics.

“The girl sleeps” could be understood as “the girl is disconnected from the spiritual reality” – in contraposition to the concept of “awake”, meaning “the Buda” –, as we all find ourselves, in different levels of childishness of the soul, before the great truths of Life.

Frequently, we do not see, like the child’s parents and the Apostles perhaps (this is why Christ says: “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”), how to revive the ideal’s flame that seems to us dead and extinct forever… And suddenly the Master, Present in the name of God, specularly, in the Voice of our own Consciences or of Those who represent It, accompanied only by the matrixes of the psyche, that is: the two basic psychosexual poles of the unconscious (“the girl’s mother and father”), as well as the three apostles more in tune with Him, because they could not only understand Him, but also assist His healing’s energetic effort– personifying in them the powers of resilience of the human mind –, brought back the motivation and the soul from the lost idealism, symbolized by the girl, returning her to life and also to movement, because the words “began to walk around” give us note that there is no legitimate ideal that does not turn into meritorious action.

The age of 12 years, as being the typical period of menarche, translates to us the idea of fertility that follows this moment of cure and how Jesus, like in the passage of the “Fig Tree”, appreciates not only the attitude of action, but mainly the production of good.

He severely warned not to boast His glory, to demonstrate that the real inner posture of those who align with the Supreme Good is not of showing off an alleged condition of superiority – that is: it is not by the ego that one reaches the great achievements of the Spirit –, but rather moving away from the state of idolatrous astonishment to the benevolent service to others, sharing with others through the practice of fraternity, the Divine Grace that has been received. In contrast, upon arriving at the house of the girl’s father, he also strongly reproved the reverse emotional state of those in the ambience: of vicious lamentations for what apparently had no solution.

Finally, the Christ, with the perfect efficiency that was peculiar to Him, offers us the lesson of not being bothered by the laughter of those who disbelieve our potential of doing good, ordering all to leave – not giving them, any citizenship in their own Mental House – and moving on, immediately, to the room where the young lady’s body lays lifeless: our languid and fragile souls, before the reviving touch of the Sublime Spirituality…

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

(Mark, 4:35-41)

The Spiritual Master Eugênia Comments on the Passage of the Gospel:

It is important to consider this so wise passage from the Gospel: the crowd, symbolically, is both our ungoverned thoughts and feelings, as much as the outside world with its conventions… and contradictions, in relation to our eternal interests – and the crowd was left behind, by Jesus command.

The apostles represent the powers of the psyche, such as memory, analytical intelligence, the power of decision, affection, mediumship, the ability to synthesise, etc.

The boat is, metaphorically, the individuality as a whole, while Christ is the personification of the personality’s Divine Center, that despite being asleep in the human creature of today’s Earth, is at the stern of the vessel and not at the prow, as the sacred text reveals – that is: next to the helm of the ship of existence, to lead the soul to its evolutionary destiny.

Finally, the sea and the winds are allegories of the various difficulties and challenges that we all must face, in order to expand our conscience to new levels of complexity and depth, with a spirit of combativeness and determination, and never of slack idolatry, which becomes frightened before the Divine Power, but not concerned about engaging itself effectively in Its work.

Spiritual guides, Masters of the Sublime Plane and Jesus Himself await from us this leap of “awakening” to the “other side” of Life, as being the best side of interpretation of life’s events, of people and circumstances: in a optimistic, constructive, solidary way, and, consequently, pacifier and promoter of happiness, ours and of others.
