John Chapter Sixteen

 

1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

 

 

Esoteric Interpretation & Commentary

 

The Hermetic Blueprint of the Gospel of John Chapter Sixteen: The Descent of the Spirit of Truth and the Alchemical Void 

"Chapter Sixteen prepares the Conscious Mind for the Ultimate transition. The localized Sovereign Will must withdraw to precipitate the descent of the Comforter—an Omnipresent, High-Frequency current that will permanently rewire the Microcosm. The Will warns of the impending 'Dark Night of the Soul' and the final violent backlash of the Ego, culminating in the supreme declaration that the Christos Frequency has Permanently Conquered the dense illusion of the material plane."

 

Verses 1-4: The Egoic Backlash and the Expulsion from the Orthodox Mind - "These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service..." 

The Sovereign Will prepares the Purified Faculties for the inevitable violent reaction of the lower Mind. The "synagogues" represent the established structures of the Orthodox Intellect. As the new frequency activates, the old, rigid Egoic paradigms will forcefully expel these Awakened Faculties. The Unawakened Ego is so deeply entrenched in its own dense illusions that it genuinely believes destroying this New Spiritual Frequency is a righteous act of preserving the Psyche's original order.

 

 

Verses 5-15: The Necessity of Withdrawal and the Descent of the Comforter - "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you... And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment... he will guide you into all truth..." 

The Sovereign Will reveals a critical Alchemical mechanism: the localized, personalized manifestation of the Divine (the physical presence) must be dissolved for the Omnipresent, Universal Current (the Comforter or Holy Ghost) to fully permeate the Microcosm. If the Conscious Mind clings to a localized savior, it cannot achieve total Energetic saturation. Upon its arrival, this "Spirit of Truth" will completely rewrite the Internal Laws—exposing the Karmic friction of the Unawakened Ego (sin), establishing Pure Alignment with the Source (Righteousness), and confirming the final structural collapse of the lower Astral ruler (Judgment).

 

 

Verses 16-22: The Alchemical Void and the Birth of the Spiritual Body - "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me... A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world." 

The "little while" describes the terrifying phase of the Great Work known as the Dark Night of the Soul or the Alchemical Void. The Conscious Mind temporarily loses all perception of the Divine Light as the old Egoic structures collapse. The Sovereign Will compares this severe Internal Friction to childbirth. The Receptive Subconscious (the woman in travail) must endure profound energetic agony as it completely releases its old earthly shape, resulting in the birth of the Immortal Spiritual Body—a permanent state of High-Frequency joy that entirely eclipses the temporary suffering of the Transmutation.

 

 

Verses 23-28: Direct Magickal Manifestation and the Completed Cycle - "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you... I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." 

Once the Spiritual Body is birthed, the Internal Faculties will no longer need to petition a localized intermediary. By operating precisely on the frequency of the Sovereign Will ("in my name"), the Awakened Mind accesses the Limitless Magickal Authority of the Superconscious Source directly. The Will then summarizes the entire macrocosmic operation of the Logos: the deliberate descent of Pure Spirit into the dense material plane, the complete Alchemical Transmutation of that matter, and the triumphant, Conscious return to the Universal Source.

 

 

Verses 29-33: The Final Fracturing and the Conquest of the World - "His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly... Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone... In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." 

The lower Intellectual Faculties arrogantly believe they have finally comprehended the Great Work. The Sovereign Will instantly shatters this illusion, prophesying that under the crushing pressure of the impending Ego-death, these unrefined faculties will temporarily scatter, retreating to their old foundational habits. Yet, the Will remains entirely undisturbed, anchored solely in the Superconscious. The chapter concludes with the Supreme Hermetic Victory Cry: despite the severe Internal Friction ("tribulation") of the material plane, the Pure Christos Frequency has already Completely Dominated, Transmuted, and "Overcome" the dense, illusionary Reality of the lower world.
