“Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise replied, ‘No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’ Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
(Matthew 25:1-13)
This parable shows the fundamental characteristic of those who really observe the Law of Movement in Creation: spiritual vigilance! Only the one who is vigilant in spirit can keep the intuition alive, the "lamp oil". This liveliness cannot be transferred from one person to another; rather each one has to acquire it by himself through his own endeavor. This impossibility is indicated by the denial in transferring the oil from one lamp to another. This liveliness permits vigilant human beings immediately to recognize any hint about the bridegroom. This is the allegory used by Jesus indicating the coming of the Son of Man, the bearer of the Word of Truth.
All virgins ended up sleepy when the bridegroom delayed and became indolent; nevertheless the ones that preserved their intuitive capacity could in time encounter him. The bridegroom arrived unexpectedly at "mid night" but this fact was not enough of an obstacle to prevent him from being recognized by the prudent ones. They behaved as exemplary women “and her lamp never goes out at night” (Proverbs 31:18). Only much later the foolish virgins searched for the bridegroom but they could not even be considered once they had lost their intuitive faculty. This faculty is the only item that makes a human being really human. Once the final date for human development is overdue it is impossible to recover this faculty… It is not possible to acquire sufficient oil at the last hour anymore.
The reason Jews were exiled into slavery in Babylon was their apathy as the elected people in complying with divine directives; this same cause can be observed when Christians of today enslave themselves under the dogmas of blind beliefs, disobeying Christ's exhortation in maintaining ready the oil of their spiritual vigilance.
In both cases slavery is the inevitable effect of spiritual indolence. In ancient times Babylon was the instrument of reciprocity to bind them to slavery; today this same role is played by the multiple Christian organizations making the believers incapable of assimilating anything different from learnt dogmas. These Christians may hear but they cannot understand; they may look but cannot see. Their behavior is identical to the Jews of Rome and his ancestors, which Saul have declared:
“The Holy Spirit correctly spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your forefathers when He said, Go to this people and say: ‘You will listen and listen, yet never understand; and you will look and look, yet never perceive.’ ”
(Acts 28:26)
All who since ancient times suffocate the voice of his spirit, the intuition, will not be able to recognize the Son of Man when presented to them. They will hear the words and comprehend it not, will look it all and see nothing. They prove that long ago they did not assimilate in their hearts the exhorting Words of the Son of God. Unlike the ones that are awake and conscientious in those Judgment Days they will pass by the Son of Man and His Word without notice, without any understanding: “none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand” (Daniel 12:10). Those faulted: “They have eyes but don't see a thing they have ears but don't hear a thing. They're rebels all.” (Ezekiel12:2). This rebel against the spirit vivacity confirmed Isaiah's prophecy when the Master referred to it for his disciples:
“With them is indeed fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah that says: You will indeed listen but never understand, and you will indeed look but never perceive”
(Mt 13:14)
The sense is that their vigilance lamps would be totally extinguished in the epoch in which the Word of the Son of Man would be acting on Earth because there would be nothing else that could illuminate once the oil was not maintained ready i.e. the intuitive capacity. Unlike the oil of the virgins, the religious dogmas and convenient interpretations of Christ's words are not oil but just muddy water.
