The “Adept” covets power in order to save himself only; and knowledge is

him thing apart from love. Love saves others as well as oneself. And it is

love that distinguishes the Christ; – a truth implied, among other ways, in

the name and character assigned in mystic legends, to the favourite disciple of the Christs. To Krishna, his Arjun; to Buddha, his Ananda; to Jesus, his John; – all terms identical in meaning, and denoting the feminine and tender moiety of the Divine Nature. He therefore, and he alone who possesses this spirit in quality and quantity without measure, has, and is, “Christ.” He is God’s anointed, suffused and brimming with the Spirit,


and having in virtue thereof the power of the “Dissolvent” and



of “Transmutation,” in respect of the whole man. Herein lay the grand




secret of that philosophy which made “Hermes” to be accounted the “trainer

of the Christs.” Known as the Kabalistic philosophy, it was a philosophy – or rather a science – based upon the recognition in Nature of an universal Substance, which man can find and “effect,” and in virtue of which he contains within himself the seed of his own regeneration, a seed of which – duly cultured – the fruit is God, because the seed itself also is God. Wherefore the “Hermetic science” is the science of God.13. “Christ,” then, is, primarily, not a person, but a process, a doctrine, a system of life and thought, by the observance of which man becomes purified from Matter, and transmuted into Spirit. And he is a Christ who, in virtue of his observance of this process to its utmost extent while yet in the body, constitutes a full manifestation of the qualities of Spirit. Thus manifested, he is said to “destroy the works of the devil,” for he destroys that which gives pre-eminence to Matter, and so re-establishes the kingdom of Spirit, that is, of God.


Jesus, recalling this prophecy, and citing the words of Daniel’s Angel, also foretold the same event as marking the end of that “adulterous” generation [a term identical with idolatrous as denoting the worship of and illicit association with Matter], and the coming of the kingdom of God; and warned the Elect in mystic phrase, thus to be interpreted: –

“When, therefore, ye shall see Matter exalted to the holy place of God and the Soul, and made the all and in all of existence,

THE One Life is the point of consciousness.

The will is the impulse which moves it.In the Celestial the One Life is the Elohim; and the Will is the Father.The One Life is manifest by Effulgence (the Son).So then the Will begets in Substance the Effulgence, which is the manifestation of the One Life.In man and the planet the Effulgence is dim and diffuse until it moves into the soul. Then only Christ is born.The One Life is invisible until Christ manifests it.Christ in Man has for counterpart Adonai in the Heavens.So then the One Life is in the Father-Mother latently, until manifest by the Son (Effulgence).Herein is the difference reconciled between the Greek and Latin Churches.The point of consciousness shineth more and more unto the Perfect Day of Brightness (“Nativity of Christ”).

THE object of creation is the production of “Ancients” (A. V., “Elders,” Apoc. iv.)They are the first-fruits of the souls of the planets; or “First Resurrection.”They are not themselves creators; but are regenerators of that which is created.The Regenerator is the Holy Spirit, through Christ.Because Will can create only when it is in the abstract; the derived does not create.The father creates through Adonai by means of the Holy Spirit.The Will of the Perfect Man renovates through the Effulgence of his Own Life.His Karma is poured out over the world to save mankind.He is the Saviour through his precious life.There are twenty-four Ancients, because there are twelve Avatars of the Lord, and every one is dual.
(5)

WILL, when it is derived through existence, begets Karma.God has no Karma. God does not exist: God IS.Karma is the channel of Initiation. God is not initiated.The Perfect Man saves himself and saves others by his Righteousness.The two terms of existence are Creation and Redemption.The first is God’s work; the second is the work of Christ: – God in Man.The reason why the Ancient cannot create is because he is not infinite.He is immortal, not eternal; he is derived, not self-sufficient.His is the point of Grace: not the point of Projection.The thrones of the Ancients are round about the Throne of God and below it.

1. ALL sacred books, of whatever people, concur in adopting, in respect of the Deity, two apparently opposite and antagonistic modes of expression. According to one of these modes, the Divine being is external, universal, diffused, unformulated, indefinable, and altogether inaccessible and beyond perception. According to the other, the Divine Being is near, particular, definite, formulated, personified, discernible, and readily accessible. Thus, on the one hand it is said that God is the high and holy One that inhabiteth eternity, and is past finding out; that no man hath seen God at any time, neither heard God’s voice, or can see God and live. And, on the other hand, it is declared that God has been heard and beheld face to face,

and is nigh to all who call upon God, being within their hearts; and that

the knowledge of God is not only the one knowledge worth having, but that

it is open to all who seek for it; and the pure in heart are promised, as

their supreme reward, that they shall “see God.”

Scott, I believe in Christ which means "the annointed one" I believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - ergo "The Holy Trinity" and that is the only way for me.

But interesting conjectures and well written. Thanks

Anyone who cannot read the entire text do a select all, copy and unformatted paste to WORD. Then using Microsoft Reader put it into book form so it can become an audio presentation. You can sit back and listen.
