IDEA OF MAN (HUMAN IDEA - HEAVENLY MAN)
DD 0l ARCHANGELIC MAN (ET 184)
HEAVENLY MAN (ET 192)
The Idea of Man or Human
Idea. Our bodies are constructed according to the Causal Law of the Heavenly
Man.
DD 10 Human Idea
(FH 300)
The Human Idea is a human
archetype, an eternal archetype within the Absolute. Once a Pneuma or Spirit-ego
passes through the Human Idea, human existence begins.
ET 50 The Human Idea,
like all the other Ideas, is within the Divine Meditation of Absolute
Beingness. But what is an Idea? Surely it is something which a Logos Spirit is
expressing in the Eternal Now. Who decides which of the Holy Monadic Beings
will pass through the Human Idea? We ourselves, of our own free will, decide
and it is, at this point, where the absolute freedom of humanity is established
and authorized. Hereafter we choose the way in which we create our
Self-awareness, which is essential for our eventual return to Theosis.
ET 39 CHAPTER FOUR
"HUMANITY"
ET 104 Does the Heavenly Man affect our Holy
Monadic Self? Not at all! As concerns
our Holy Monadic Self, there is no question of effect or requirement, but
simply free will and choice. We would say that our Holy Monadic Self can choose
to be able to extend its own radiations, not only through the Human Idea, but
also through the Archangelic Ideas and into other universes. This is because
the Microcosm is part of the Macrocosm. Were it not so, we would not be able to liken ourselves with the Christ
Logos (2 Cor.3:18).
ET 104 We must honour the Human Idea, seeing
that the most complete human radiation, that of the Christ Logos Itself,
honoured the Human Idea by calling His earthly self the "Son of Man"
(John 3:13-14).
