The Redemption Of Man

[QUOTING]

Here we are now entering on new and great mysteries worthy, I entreat you, of your most earnest attention.

When, according to the Wisdom and Justice of God, it was resolved to save the fallen human race, the Wisdom of God had to choose the method which afforded in every aspect the most efficacious means for the consummation of this great object.

When man became so thoroughly poisoned by the fruit of evil, carrying in himself henceforth the ferment of death, all around him became subject to death and destruction, therefore, divine mercy was bound to establish a counter remedy, which could be partaken of, containing within itself the divine and revitalising substance, so that by taking this immortal food, poisoned and death-stricken man could be healed and rescued from his suffering. But in order that this Tree of Life could be replanted; it was requisite beyond all things that the corruptible material in the centre of the earth should be first regenerated, resolved and made capable of being again one day a universally vitalising substance.

This capacity for new life, bringing about the dissolution of corruptible essence which is inherent in the centre of the earth, was,however, possible to no other matter than divine vital substance enveloped in flesh and blood which could transmit the hidden forces of Life to dead nature. This was done through the death of Jesus, the Christ. Tinctural force which flowed from His shed blood penetrated to the innermost parts of the earth, raised the dead, rent the rocks,and caused the total eclipse of the sun when it pressed from the centre of the earth where the Light penetrated the central darkness to the circumference, and there laid the foundation of the future Glorification of the world.

Since the death of The Christ, the divine force, driven to the earth's centre by the shedding of His blood, works and ferments perpetually to press outward, and to fit and prepare all substances gradually for the Great Cataclysm which is destined for the world.

But the rebuilding of the world's edifice in general was not the only aim of Redemption. Man was the principal object for the shedding of Christ's blood, and to procure for him already in this material world the highest possible perfection by the amelioration of his being, Jesus, The Christed One, submitted to infinite suffering.

He is the Saviour of the world and of man. The object and cause of His Incarnation was to rescue us from sin, misery, and from death. The Christ has delivered us from all evil by His 'flesh', which He sacrificed, and by His 'blood', which He shed for us.

In the clear understanding of what consists this 'flesh' and this 'blood' of The Christ lies the true and pure knowledge of the real regeneration of man.

The mystery of being united with The Christ, not only spiritually also corporeally, is the greatest aim of the Inner Church. Become one with Him in spirit and in being is the fulfilling and plenitude of the efforts of the Elect.

The means for this real possession of God is hidden from the wise of this world, and revealed to the simplicity of children.

Vain philosopher, bend thyself before the grand and Divine Mysteries that thou in thy "wisdom" canst not understand, and for the penetration of whose Secrets the feeble light of human reason, darkened by sense, can give thee no measure!

Excerpted from Letter V of  "The Cloud Upon The Sanctuary" - published 1802 - Karl von Eckartshausen

Please note that the mission of The Christ was not to "forgive sins in advance" as clerics and laymen alike have erroneously claimed for centuries. Through direct penetration of the planet and the transmutation of the substances of the earth - the substances of which man is made - a foundation was laid. A way was provided that would afford future humanity a greater opportunity to awaken their divine sparks, purify their microcosms and achieve permanent liberation from the Wheel.

To use an analogy, if a person is dying from an infection or a virus, a topical treatment will not do. Medicine will have to be injected directly into the body in order to combat and eradicate the infection or virus. Remember, all dis-eases or dis-orders originate from within. As above, so below. As with man, so with the Earth.

Since our gross physical body and our three subtle bodies (etheric, astral and mental) are all created from the Earth's own gross and subtle bodies, any cleansing of the Earth's vehicles naturally results in finer substances for man to build his future bodies from. Over the centuries, with guidance and nurturing from the hidden realms, humanity has been slowly and purposefully guided to this point in time. If it were not for the work of The Christ those centuries years ago, man would not have the ability to respond to the Aquarian energies in significant numbers during this present period. Because of the sacrifice this Great Being made, we now have a better chance at escaping this prison, but only if we take advantage of the Grace that is being offered to all of humanity during the close of this major world cycle, which is now upon us.

The magnitude of what took place on this planet 2,000 years ago cannot be emphasized enough. The titles of Saviour and Redeemer are truly fitting. God does not forsake the work of His hands. It was to that end that Mercy was granted to mankind, and Divinity incarnated on Earth.
