For Christian Esoteric Gnostic Knews and Views Psalm 23:1
•••
The Twenty-Third Psalm
This Psalm has no title, none is needed, for it records no special event, and needs no other key than that which every Christian may find buried within.
WE’RE BREAKING CAMP SOON
•••
23rd Psalm

•••
It is note worthy that I have drawn heavily on the work of Charles Spurgeon, a Treasury of David
•••
An Introduction To The 23rd Psalm. The position of this is Psalm is worthy of notice also.
It follows the 22nd Psalm, which is commonly known as the Psalm of the Cross.
•••
There are no green pastures, no still waters on the other side of the twenty-second psalm. It is only after we have read.
•••
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Psalm 22:1, that we come to "The Lord is my Shepherd." Psalm 23:1
•••
We must by experience, know the value of the Cross, and the death of the ego.
The experiences of the death to the ego-soul is not metaphorical.
Not Mythological or in anyway figurative or fanciful.
It is an experience, bordering on excitement to depression.
•••
As another author said; It is like having the brake pedal on, as hard as possible and the gas pedal depressed to the metal.
•••
It is in this, the death of the ego, death to our selfish desires, and alive to Who, What, When, Where and then sometimes.
•••
And maybe we get to know; Why the Lord led us this WAY.
•••
It is in the answering of these five questions that the Sweetness of the good Shepherd's care comes through to our consciousness.
•••
There is a certain bird in the Southwest United States who sing best when in turmoil and trial. They mimic the songs of other birds around them.
•
Even after they take flight, one may hear them in the distance. They carry the burdens of others to the throne of God, for God to support and to heal others.
•••
Note the last words of the psalm — And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days in the house and in the presence of the Lord.
•
It is in finding the healing, in finding the consolation for our souls.
Then will we be able to provide provision from the deep well of Jesus to give to Others.
•••
The Twenty-Third Psalm, in the whole, is made of celestial notes, more fitted for the eternal mansions than for these dwelling places below the clouds.
•••
Oh, that we may enter into the Presence of Angels to sing songs of goodness and healing, first for our own soul. Then for our fellow travelers along “The Way.”
•••
[[ Remember, my comments will be in between the double brackets]]

V 1. The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],

In the tenth chapter of John's gospel, you will find six marks of Christ sheep:
1. They know their Shepherd;
2. They know his voice;
3. They hear him calling them each by name;
4. They love him;
5. They trust him;
6. They follow him.
In "The Shepherd's King," by the Authoress of "The Folded Lamb" {Mrs. Rogers.}, 1856.
