The New Body - Conclusion

'A House Not Made With Hands'

[QUOTING]

If you understand all this, then pay attention to the Sermon on the Mount for your further information. To the pupils who possess 'the Other One'' it is said:

'You have heard it said: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, do not resist evil. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if anyone would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well'.

What the hordes of the Inquisition meant to achieve in the war against the Albigensians* was the destruction of the outer garment, of the outward appearance of the holy Cathars, for the Inquisitors were operating under the mystification that, beneath the cloak, the living heart of the Gnosis was beating. But with a laugh that resounded through the Pyrenees mountains, the Cathars left their enemies the dialectical cloak, after having fulfilled their task for as long as possible, and went up into the serene heights of the Sacred Stillness.

* a name used by the Pope's armies when referring to the Cathars

They ascended from tear-filled surroundings to a New Morning. They were already Brothers and Sisters of the Dawn, the possessed the bodies for it, but they remained as long as possible in the regions of the night in order to help the seekers in their darkness. But do you think they would fight for that?

They entered into the New Life because they knew that there would always be helpers, brothers and sisters. The chain of the serving Brotherhood on Earth will never be severed. Is there someone who wants to take the coat of one of them? He will leave his assailants his cloak as well. He will not provoke them saying: 'Please hurry up', for he knows his duty. But, spontaneously and naturally he longs for the moment of departure. And when the time of farewell comes, his place is immediately taken by a successor. Do you think this point-of-view is wrong? Then heed what Paul says in 2 Cor. 5:

'For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling. For while we are still in this tent we have only One Purpose; that we may not be found unclothed, and that what is mortal may be swallowed up by True Life'.

[END QUOTING]

To walk the Path of Return, the Way of the Transfigurist, means that two soul bodies will inhabit the same microcosm, in the same space, at the same time. With steadfast devotion to the Gnosis, the New Soul will increase while the old, material soul body decreases in kind. For those who persevere, this Journey will end in Eternal Victory.
