Lightly edited transcript:

The one who abides in me, and I in him, will bring forth much fruit. I am the vine, you are the branches. One might think of Christianity and so-called followers and churches and all of that, as being the fruit of Jesus.

And that can't be the answer. That can't be Jesus' answer. Because he controlled nothing in this life. 

Neither a vine nor the branches control the outside world. They only control what comes out of themselves. They are only responsible for what comes out of themselves. 

And their only opportunity is to make of themselves the best fine or branch that they can be. 

So what is the fruit? Whoever abides in me and I in him will bring forth much fruit. Well, the fruit must be the virtues that Jesus had and that Jesus revered. Compassion. Righteousness. Truthfulness. Obedience. Obedience to the Father within. The Holy Spirit. Our humanity. Being just. Serving the neediest souls. Living to redeem souls. To save souls. To rehabilitate souls. 

And can that cause... others to do the same? It can. Almost never. Very rare. But sometimes. 

And that is what the child of God does and is. Living to be the fulfillment of what they were created to be. Make of yourself a good tree. Or make of yourself an evil tree. Those are the choices according to Jesus. 

And this brings me back to most important giffromt Thousands of hours of study Of Jesus' words That's given me. James, make your world The kingdom of God within you. Make that your world. Don't be of the world of men. Be of the world of creator's kingdom within you. Which is the world of a branch. Of the vine. 

The job of the branch Is to as faithfully bring forth The fruits Of the Vine, As possible. To be as fruitful Of the Vine as possible. To be as humane As possible. Jesus said, The father never leaves me, Because I always do, What pleases him. Jesus' world Was Pleasing the father. Bringing forth the fruits Of the father. And he Calls us To do the same. 

He shows us That we might do the same. 

And this is the great gift of Jesus that James is finally receiving. Life in creator's kingdom, not the kingdom of man. The kingdom into which we were born. And then stripped away from it. 

The kingdom where one lives in front of Creator. Because who would not want to live in front of an infinitely humane, perfectly humane? To be inspired each breath To please the Creator in front of us? 

And Jesus is earthly manifestation. And thereby have brought out of us what we were designed to do. To produce the fruits of Creator that Jesus so perfectly manifested. I mean who wouldn't want to do that? 

It's what we were born doing. It's what we were born to do. It is the only being, It is the only way of being, That gives us the gifts of Creator. Joyful, abundant life.
