Jesus said to His disciples:
"If any man will come after me in rebirth, let him deny himself and
take up his cross!"
-(Luke 9-23)
Now the last struggles begin, because he had provoked his greatest enemy (the lower
Nature)? The Gethsemane Struggle begins? While doing so, bloody Sweat is coming
out of His body (the extracted Lionsblood!)? But, the Angel (Divine Genius)
strengthened Him with the Water of Life.

But once more, He was under the influence of the Power of Darkness? The Tetrach
Herodes (the Prince of the Lower quadruplicity) would have liked to use His Wisdom
for his own dark purposes? Since however, he did not receive from Jesus (the
enlightened Soul) any explanations, then he eventually clothed her (the enlightened
Soul) in a white garment to ridicule her, and sent Him to Pilate, the governor (World-
Spirit), who also does not know what to do with the enlightened Reason? However,
since she spoke to him about the true Kingdom of the Light, the World-Spirit or the
lower Reason (Pilate), did not recognize the truth, therefore, he dressed the intelligible
Soul in a purple coat to ridicule her.
Jesus (the enlightened Reason-Soul) knows, that she first has to enter into the
blackness, before she can attain the miracle of the true whiteness and redness.
Jesus (the enlightened Reason-Soul) is now being crucified on the cross and was
given vinegar (=Azoth) to drink? Now the mystical death sets in with its total might?
A terrible tear ripped the curtain of His inner temple? The spiritual Sun looses its
shine, and deep darkness envelopes Him? The Sun and the Moon are separated, and
the soul cried out in this, the most extreme darkness, the gruesome "ELI, ELI lama
asabthani! My GOD, my SUN, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Now with the philosophical spear, the side of the body is pierced, so that the red
leonine blood and the white Gluten of the Eagle comes forth, which the Soul takes
along with her? The lower quadruplicity is now divided, and now the Soul can begin
her journey to Hades, to purify and coagulate again those two tinctures.
The separation of the Soul from the Spirit, the Moon from the Sun is however
necessary, so that the Soul, on her journey through the different spheres of the
underworld, can dissolve her old astral image or corpus and can bring it to a spiritual
rebirth.
-(Hebrew 4, 13/Jeremiah 23, 29)
But on the third day, the Soul will rise from the dead again? As it is written by the
Prophet:
"Come let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal
us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up? After two days he will
revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and shall live in his
sight."
-(Hosea 6, 1-2)
Then the Morning-Redness (dawn) will break, and the Soul will be again united in a
new Spirit-Body with the Light forever, and ascend to Heaven to her divine FATHER.

The Two Paths.
The Soul of a Human Being is situated at a crossroad, like Hercules? She has to chose
between the sensual and transitory outside world, or the spiritual and eternal inner
world.
If she chooses the latter, then everything that a Human Being is attached to in his
everyday life, must lose all value to him? New values must replace the old ones; a
total transformation of the emotional and spiritual life? If, up to now, the outside
world represented the only world and the inner world was nothing but a shadow of the
outer sensuous reality, the whole relationship to the world now turns around? Only the
things of psychic-spiritual life are real; the outer sensuous world, by comparison, is
not real.
For the one, however, who has changed his thinking and feeling towards the external
world to such a degree, the external world will lose its absolute value. You will, of
course, see this world, but in an entirely different light? The inner world will also
appear to be totally new; but you must also learn to feel and be sensitive to what you
see? Whosoever is inclined towards sensuality with active feelings and sensitivity,
looks upon the creations in the inner world as mere creations of fantasy? He does not
live in them, therefore, they are mere images, that is, reproductions of the outer
sensual or material world.
Whosoever has withdrawn his feelings and his sensitivity from the outer world and
directed them towards his innermost, has gained at the beginning of the mystical path,
the right to an experience which deeply moves his Soul.
It is the experience, that the Human Being is losing his emotions and feelings for the
external world, but the new world does not open up for him? The old values are gone,
but no new values have come into being with him? For whoever steps onto the
mystical path, at one time, that will become reality. Now the Human Being has
reached the point, where the Spirit interprets all life as death to him? He then is no
longer in the world? He is a dweller of the desert, he is under the world, in the
underworld? He is on his journey in Hades. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
