Re: Self-Realization


Hopefully in reading the last two posts, the following did not pass by  un-noticed:

Original Man was a self-generating entity.

The import of this cannot be under-stated. The original microcosm, with its divine central nucleus, was able to generate a human form at will, when desired. This central principle has come to be known as the divine-spark. Although we are mortal, we still retain this divine spirit-spark atom, which is located in the mathematical center of our microcosm, a position which corresponds with the upper right ventricle of the physical human heart. This divine-spark, this dynamo of self-generation, retains all of the power that it possessed in the primordial past, prior to The Fall. However, this power has been closed off, buried, suppressed under the crushing, gross vibrations of the dense physical plane. We call this spark The Rosebud, to symbolize the potential of the Rose that sleeps within tightly closed petals, waiting for the Divine Sun to shine upon it.

It is our task, as temporary personalities, as image-bearers of the Original Man, to re-awaken this spark so that it can shine its Light anew. If we can fan this slumbering ember into a flame, if we can coax the Rosebud into blooming, we will be on the Path to returning this microcosm to the Original Man, the True Man. As we decrease, this Other One will increase. The power of the Rose will grow stronger until, at a given moment, the self-generating capacity that was its divine birthright will resume its activity.

Then the True Man will be re-born! The mortal personality will cease to exist, to be replaced by a glorified Personality of divine stature. And we, brothers and sisters, as our reward for accomplishing the Great Work, shall share in that glorification . For, by making it possible for the Other One to regain its former glory, we shall attain Eternity as well!

Just wanted to run that by you. Sometimes, these things get overlooked.

all love,

The Sophia of Jesus Christ from the Nag Hammadi library also talks about these 'self-begotten ones'. Also in The Apocryphon of John.

JD,

i will have to review these two tractates in my copy of The Nag before i can comment. Although, as you stated, "self-begotten" ones are mentioned, i would like to confirm the context in which this term is used before i reply.
