The Mortal Soul's Journey To Liberation - Conclusion

 

 

[QUOTING]

When the mortal soul has reached maturity and has been completely absorbed in the complicated convolutions of the nature-of-death, when it has experienced suffering and sorrow, and when it has tasted all the vicissitudes of dualistic life, impulses are given to it by means of the Original Principle of Life, The Rose of the Heart. These impulses do not come from the ordinary aeonic macrocosmic sphere but from the Nature-Of-Life, which also sends out its radiations. If you think about the words, 'The Light shines in the darkness...', you will understand this. You should see The Rose as a sensitive point able to reflect the rays of the Gnosis to some extent.

When the mortal soul begins to react, it hears, 'O soul, cease your futile attempts to maintain yourself in the nature-of-death and turn to the One and Only Task for which you were created, namely to vivify and liberate the Immortal Soul  to ensoul your microcosm. Begin with this Johannine work! Become the harbinger of the savior of your microcosmic, sinful little world. If you, soul, will undertake this Work, then your consciousness will merge and be absorbed into the new Immortal consciousness. Then for you also, if you understand this, there will be no more death'.

Whoever begins to undertake this Great Work of Liberation, this Work of Rebirth, will immediately be linked to the macrocosmic sphere of the Nature-Of-Life, while still also linked to the aeonic sphere. This is, of course, a highly undesirable situation. This is why the Pistis Sophia says in Chapter 25 that "the Paralemptor, the Great Receiver of the Light" -- will separate from dualistic nature all who are occupied with the great process of Purification and hand them over to the Treasury of the Light.

It is clear that alongside the ordinary dualistic process of preservation, there is a process of Liberation, in and above the nature-of-death and that has nothing to do with the nature-of-death. This nature continues gathering its materials for the vivification of mortal souls. And when the mortal soul begins to listen to the Voice of the Liberators, it is lifted out.

You may have discovered, and science has explained, that the sun and the moon are great, intense purifiers and vivifiers in the ordinary field of nature. The sun is the great principle of life in our field of nature. In many senses we would not be able to live and our microcosms would not be able to maintain themselves, if there were no solar power.

You know that the School of the Golden Rosycross often speaks about electro-magnetic radiations. The radiations that are more electric by nature come from the sun, and they support and vivify the rest of the general magnetic radiations. The electric solar power radiations make the other radiations of the aeons palpable and active, and in this process the moon is in a certain sense a precision instrument.

The sun is the more fundamental force, and the moon is the regulating force, which gives the final result. There is not a single zodiacal or galactic influence that must not first be vivified  by the moon to be able to be positively active. This dual activity of the sun and the moon, as the vivifier and manifester, explains why in antiquity the sun was seen as male and the moon as female and why there was a sun god and a moon goddess.

As it is in the nature-of-death, so it is in the Nature-Of-Life. As there are a sun and a moon in the nature-of-death totally active in all the processes of nature, so there are a Sun and a Moon in the Nature-Of-Life, acting as two foci. Many holy scriptures, myths and legends mention a Sun behind the sun (Vulcan), and a Moon behind the moon. They speak of an invisible sun and moon, active in an unknown Universe invisible to nature-born eyes.

As there is a Universal Brotherhood in the nature-of-death, a Brotherhood that cannot be explained from the nature-of-death, a Brotherhood that works to liberate fallen microcosms, so there is necessarily a Sun behind the sun and a Moon behind the moon at the service of this Brotherhood. And so there are active in our solar system a field of Solar power and one of Lunar power, which cannot be associated with the sun and moon known to us and of which the positions, phases, and activities cannot be calculated in the ordinary way. It is to these force fields that the Pistis Sophia is referring. As soon as the pupil begins the great and glorious Work of Rebirth, according to the methods and principles of the fivefold universal Gnosis, he comes into contact with the invisible field of Solar power and that of Lunar power. This Sun becomes a vivifier to him, and this Moon brings the New Life gradually to manifestation.

When this Sun rises for the candidate on The Path, it will never set. And when this Moon shines for him, he will be led through all resistances and limitations, because of the manifesting activities of this force.

In the nature-of-death, the human being is under the control of the sun and the moon of this nature; this is a scientific fact. When the process of cornerstone freemasonry causes a new Light-force to become manifest in the microcosm, the Paralemptors, the receivers of the Sun and the Moon of the mysteries, will attract this microcosm into their system. The Light-force will then be taken away from the nature-of-death and transferred to the guardians of Melchizedek. Thousands and thousands of years ago these guardians were already called the Brothers of the Sun, and the Sons of Wisdom and of the Fiery Mist.

The Eternal Day has dawned for those for whom this new Sun rises. They no longer need the sun and the moon of dualistic nature, for Eternity has revealed itself to them in time.

[END QUOTING]

There is a Process of Soul Rebirth. Make no mistake, this Process is very, very real. It requires that one re-focus one's thinking, willing and desiring away from this ordinary, temporary "life" and towards the New Life that has always beckoned.

For most, this will not happen until they have been so bruised and battered by the sorrow and disappointment experienced in earth-life that the heart will cry out for a release from duality, for salvation from this misery. When the heart finally makes that silent cry, it will be heard.

The re-generative forces of this New Life have been with us since Time began. These forces call out to us every minute, every second. We have but to hear The Call with our heart, and answer with our actions.
