He came to those whose ego had been uprooted. He healed the son of the nobleman who, according to the interpretation of the Jews, was a stranger to Him. Throughout the Gospel it is pointed out that Christ is the missionary of the independent ego which is present in every human individual. Therefore, He could say:—“When I speak of Myself in a higher sense, of the I AM, I do not at all refer to my own ego residing within me, but to a being, to something which *everyone* possesses within himself. My ego is one with the Father, but in general the ego present in every personality is also one with the Father.” That is also the deeper meaning of the instructions which the Christ gave to the Samaritan woman at the well.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Zu denen kommt er, deren Ich sozusagen entwurzelt ist: Er heilt den Sohn des Königischen, der ihm eigentlich nach Auffassung der Juden fremd ist. Überall werden Sie darauf hingewiesen, daß Christus der Missionar ist von dem selbständigen Ich, das sich in jeder Menschenindividualität findet. Daher darf er auch sagen: Ich spreche, wenn ich von mir spreche, in höherem Sinne gar nicht von meinem in mir darin sitzenden Ich, sondern wenn ich von dem «Ich-bin» spreche, so spreche ich von einer Wesenheit, von etwas, was jeder in sich findet. Mein Ich ist eins mit dem Vater; aber das Ich überhaupt, das in jeder Persönlichkeit ist, ist eins mit dem Vater. — Das ist auch der tiefere Sinn der Unterweisung, die der Christus der Samariterin am Brunnen gibt. Ich möchte Sie vor allem an ein Wort erinnern, das Ihnen ein tiefes Verständnis eröffnen kann, wenn Sie es richtig verstehen: die Stelle des 31.bis 34.
