The Meaning Of The Legendary Phoenix

The one who walks the Path of Liberation experiences both a loss and a gain. The awakening of the Divine Spark situated in the upper right ventricle of the human heart attracts a Divine vibration into the system. This Divine vibration, an energy not-of-this-world, "breaks into" the system, as it were and immediately links the candidate with the Gnosis. It is the beginning of the Return Home.

As the candidate persists in walking the Path, he or she undergoes the endura, which is a dying as to the self. This is characterized by self-surrender, which is the sacrifice of what the self wants in favor of what the Other One within requires in order to manifest Itself.

In this way, both a death and a birth take place. By way of a gradual alchemical metamorphosis, the old self "dies" while the New Spirit-Soul is born. If the Road Back is steadfastly followed to its glorious conclusion, then, at the moment the last vestige of the old self has been dissolved in the astral fires of Divine transmutation, the True Man will arise from its ashes.

And now you know the meaning behind the legend of the Phoenix.
