Resurrection in the New Field of Life

The final step in the fivefold Gnostic Path of Return is the Resurrection in the New Field of Life.

The culmination of all of the candidate's striving is a completely restored Spirit, Soul, Body complex. The consciousness is once again linked with the Divine Consciousness. The Seeker has become one of the Thrice-born.

Outwardly, the person will appear as before. Physically, nothing changes, although one's health may benefit to a degree. However, unseen to the naked eye, a New Man now lives and moves and has its being in the purified microcosm of the Victorious One. This True Human-being manifests itself alongside the old, terrestrial human-being. At the moment of transition, the Initiated One will lay the physical body aside and take flight in the hard-won Body of Light.

The Liberated One is now free of earthly suffering, free of Karma, free of "the Wheel" and the necessity for Rebirth. He has returned to the Divine Kingdom, the Father's House. There is triumphant rejoicing from Those who waited for his return.

The Victorious One now stands before a Choice. Move on to ever-higher spheres in the vast bliss of the nirvanic Cosmic Domains? Or remain here in proximity to the Physical Realms? If he chooses the former, he will lose all contact with the Earth and its inhabitants forever as he pursues his own evolution. If the latter option is chosen, he will remain in close contact with the region from which he has just escaped. He will remain a servant to humanity, incarnating only by choice, and only when necessary to help the human life-wave. This Path is known as "The Great Renunciation". The Liberated One postpones his or her own opportunity to advance in order to reach back and help lift his/her brothers and sisters out of the Pit.

These are the Ones who help to forge a new link in the Chain of Universal  Brotherhoods. These are the Ones who will watch over humanity, and serve tirelessly. These are the Exalted Ones who shall manifest as Divine Helpers, Guides, Messengers and Avatars throughout the long ages ahead. These are the Ones who will remain loyal, steadfast and true until the final Lost Soul is freed from the Valley of Despair.

May it be so, and may all of humanity be led to The Good End.
