Our Role In The Battle

A key part of the fivefold gnostic Path of Return is self-surrender. Self-surrender is the act of removing the nature-born "I" from its long-held position as King of the Microcosm and enabling the return of The Other One to its rightful leadership role.

This process of surrendering the self is not easy. The nature-born "I" is accustomed to having complete control over the personality. It will not give up its rulership easily. It will not go down without a fight. This will result in an internal struggle for the candidate. No matter how difficult the struggle may become, we must remember that we, as personalities, can do very little to advance the process. The battle being waged is between the "I" of nature and the Other One that is re-emerging from the blooming Rosebud.

We must recognize that in this battle for control of the personality, our personality must stand aside. We can only help by living our daily lives in the sign of the new Soul. We must acknowledge the confrontation that is taking place within our microcosm and turn over the task of subduing the "I" to the Other One, the re-emerging New Man.

If we are successful in doing this, all of our battles againt the "I" will be fought for us. The Christine radiations will do the work in us. When we cease to interfere in the process of self-surrender, it will become apparent that the influence of the "I" is steadily decreasing without our having to scourge or torture ourselves. Gradually, the things that used to matter will matter no longer. That is when we will know that the "I" has been neutralized, the battle won.
