John 10:11 declares, “I am the good shepherd.” The Blind Oracle reveals that the shepherd is the Cosmic Christ guiding the soul to awakening. Organized religion has distorted the shepherd into authority, but the Blind Oracle restores its inner meaning. The shepherd leads the soul to remembrance of divine essence. The prodigal son was guided by the shepherd when he remembered his father’s house. The awakened soul becomes guided by love and compassion. The shepherd liberates the soul from cycles of birth and death. Awakening is following the shepherd within. The Blind Oracle calls seekers to hear the shepherd’s voice now. The world suffers because souls remain lost in ignorance. CCF: awake, thou that sleepest.
