The Mystery Of Life And Death - V

The Word Must Be Made Flesh

[QUOTING]

So now we have set the scene for examining more closely the doctrine of reincarnation as it is accepted by so many, but which we reject.

Your consciousness, as an emergency-order being, has been brought to a high level of perfection. This was necessary in order to be able to carry out the plan of salvation. To be able to walk the path of the Twice-Born, one must have a being with a high level of intelligence and a refined personality-vehicle at one's disposal; a being capable of becoming a true image-bearer of the Original, third soul-nucleus with its resultant Personality.

If such an image-bearer is available, there is hope that it can be brought successfully into connection with the Other Being, the emptied microcosm, so that the two can become one and this new unity can return to the Immovable Kingdom. This, in short, is The Great Plan.

This plan must now become 'flesh'; it must become reality. Throughout mankind's past there have been many entities who have demonstrated this 'becoming flesh'. The Word, the plan of God, has often become flesh and dwelt among us, and many have beheld its glory, a glory which, for all those who know the plan and its background, calls to mind the original glory of the only-begotten ones of the Father, full of Grace and Truth.

We can, we may and we must accomplish this glorification with respect to ourselves. We are the image-bearers of the lost third-soul being. It is in that precise form that we have been modelled from the substance of this world-order, and as such we are able to act in the fallen microcosmic system, becoming one with it and returning it to its lost glory, in which we may share eternally.
