Lipika = Auric Being = Higher Self

[QUOTING]

In our explanation about the true nature of the microcosm, we have made it clear that in the rotations of the Wheel of Birth and Death, the auric being, the higher self of the microcosm, is in a certain sense immortal. The auric being, this karmic self, spans all lives, and a new personality is born over and over again within this auric being. This personality has not known any earlier life and neither will it know a new life. What is called "reincarnation" therefore only relates to the fact that the auric being, always existing in dialectics, loses a personality and at the appointed time can provide itself again with a new personality.

We must now go a little further in our consideration by understanding that the auric being, the higher self of the microcosm, although always living in dialectics and being immortal, will be totally dissolved after the birth of the New Microcosm.

In the Gospel we can read about this in the very veiled story of the Temptation in the Desert. The old higher self tries to obtain control of the Newly Awakened One who was dead and is alive again. But the old higher self does not succeed in this. This being the reason why it was said of Jesus the Lord after His victory that "The angels of God ministered to Him". That is to say: the magnetic forces of the old lipika cannot sustain the Newly Born One and for this reason cannot dominate him, but rather a new lipika, a new auric being, a new zodiac, serves him. Then a new field of development opens for the New Human Being.

He who has awakened as a New Human Being is blessed before all people who are on earth, for such a person can help save the whole world.

This [dialectical] auric being, with everything below and above it, could be indicated as being our "private reflection sphere", which is linked to the astral field of dialectics, and by which and from which we live. We and all personality beings who have preceded us in our microcosms are the reflexes, the reaction foci, of that reflection-sphere being in us. The so-called "higher self" is the true dialectical self. It is the aeon, the archon, that dominates us.

From "It Is You Who Will Save The Whole World" - The Gnostic Mysteries of Pistis Sophia - Jan van Rijckenborgh

We live, we die. Each time a personality dies, all attributes, powers, talents and experiences are gathered up and preserved in the seventh ring of the lipika, the auric being. So if you were an Atlantean priest or priestess, a white or black magician, a warrior, an inventor, a shaman, whatever, those attributes and powers remain stored within your lipika. You may be a clumsy fool today, with no particular talent, but that is only because the attributes and powers of yesteryear were not necessary, useful or required for use by your personality in this incarnation.

Nevertheless, these qualities remain latent in the auric being, the dialectical higher self. It is this terrestrial higher self that the occultists wish to form a union with via meditation, yoga, astral travel, etc. This dialectical higher self that everyone talks about in glowing terms is fallen, just as we are. It is naught but a collection of the attributes and experiences of the hundreds of personalities that have preceded us in our microcosm. It is not the True Man and has no connection with Spirit.

If you glean anything from this post, may it be the understanding that even the highest "spiritual" attainment on this planet is of a completely dialectical nature, and falls far short of Divine. Without the assimilation of the Christ radiation, without Gnosis, all is vanity and vexation.

The other thing to remember is this: when you as a personality "die", that is, when the life principle is withdrawn from the physical instrument, you, as a discrete individual, will cease to exist. Only your talents, qualities and experiences will be retained in the lights of the lipika. The next personality to incarnate in your microcosm will not be you, Mr. John Smith or Ms. Jane Doe; it will be someone completely new but with access to the attributes that made you and your other predecessors who they were.

If you want to avoid this fate, you must make an important decision. A decision based on insight and yearning, not fear. One must first recognize the futility of life in the twin spheres of dialectics and then make the decision to abandon the Wheel of Birth and Death by encouraging the birth of a New Microcosm via the touch of the Gnosis and the blooming of the Rose.

If one can effect this fundamental reversal in self-surrender and humble steadfastness, then at the moment of so-called death, the personality will not be routed to the ordinary, dialectical reflection-sphere, but will be guided to the House Spiritu Sanctum: Shamballa. The Home Of The Twice-Born Ones. There, the glorious work of Transfiguration will continue without interruption, until Spirit, Soul and Body alchemically merge once more into a Tri-Unity of Light.
