DD 0l JOSHUA EMMANUEL THE CHRIST (EP 157)

God's "only begotten Son" (John 3:16). Joshua is a direct and pure Ray of the Logos incarnated, by immaculate concep­tion, in Palestine twenty centuries ago as the "Son of man" (Matt. 18:11). His Divine Teachings, as preserved in the New Testament, are cherished in our work as universal and time-less, offering indispensable guidance in the exaltation of consciousness

 

EP  24         Twenty centuries ago in Palestine all researchers, Arch­angels, angels, and demigods rejoiced as Joshua Emmanuel the Christ was born among us. Joshua, who comes to us directly from Absolute Beingness (as distinct from all human Masters who earn their wisdom through successive incarnations) offered for the first time the direct guidance of God. What Joshua taught, by deed and word, during His short corporeal life remains with us as the most pure, direct and Divine Teachings. As the Son of man He was the "flesh and blood" of Truth (John 6:33). It is Christ as the Logos, the Son of God, who is the inextinguishable Light and the everlasting Life, the "bread and wine" of Truth (John 6:32).

                                                                                                                                                                      

      EP      24     The Logos is the eternal nature of humanity, compelling us

                         towards perfection through the gentle and lasting exaltation

                         of consciousness as "the true Light, which lighteth every

                         man that cometh into the world" (John 1:9).

 

Ours is a Christian path in celebration of Joshua's Teach­ings. We believe in the one Truth, the one God, which in-spires religious traditions, esoteric and exoteric, past and present. Differing in expression only, the ageless human effort to reflect the Divine is guided "by the same Spirit" (1 Cor.12:9).

      EP      25     Esoteric Christianity is not the privilege of the few, but a

                         faithful reflection of the Soul of each of us. The meaning

                         of the term "esoteric" has become severed from its Greek

                         roots. In Greek it indicates knowledge found within us,

                         "for nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest"

                         (Luke 8:17). Inner Christianity, as "the secrets of his

                         heart made manifest" (1 Cor.14:25), is less a religion and

                         more the very nature of life - a clear, concise and com­plete

                         mirror of the Truth.

      ET      26     It is quite right that the God-Man Jesus put matters in

                         their place when He said, "I am the Way, The Truth and the

                         Life" (John 14:6)."I am the Way", He said, meaning His Man-

                         self, and "the Truth of Life" meaning His God-Logos-Self.

      ET      29     The Christian religion has all the answers and meanings.

                         God-Logos Jesus came into the world to disperse the darkness

                         which had invaded the hearts of men and to teach us the way

                         which leads to Truth and Life. Humanity, in His day, posses­sed

                         God within their flesh, but could neither understand nor

                         properly conceive Absolute Beingness. They had to be taught.

                         This teaching was what Jesus did, by word and by deed. His

                         words are a moral storehouse, while His deeds, whether

                         achieved or attempted, form the foundation and point the way

                         to perfection and to salvation.

 

Jesus, in order to strengthen His message, performed some miracles, because it was the only way to attract the atten­tion of the people of His day. The Lord Jesus performed these miracles, however, not in order to impress or arouse humanity's admiration, but simply in order to wake them up and to activate their spiritual powers, as an inescapable precondition for search and understanding of the Truth. He had no need to be surrounded by followers. His purpose was to show the way.

      ET      29     For the first time, we hear the Divine Words, such as "I and

                         the Father are one" (John 10:30). Jesus speaks to us of the

                         Father-God who is His Father and ours too. His God and ours.

                                                                                                                                                                      

     ET      29     He demonstrates to us and explains the indissoluble bonds

                         which we have with God. With which God? ¹'God is a spirit and

                         they that worship Him must worship him in spirit and in

                         truth" (John 4:24). He tells us, in other words, who God is

                         and confirms that we too are Spirits. "I have said, Ye are

                         gods and all of you are children of the Most High"

                         (Psalm 82:6 and John 10:34). The words of the ancient prophets­

                         are explained anew and the Old Law is made new and

                         fulfilled.

      ET      30     In this way the Nazarene consecrated the Christian religion,

                         whose purpose is to transmute humanity into spiritual light,

                         as a torch for conversion and salvation. The Teachings of

                         Jesus are complete and contain all the necessary philosophy

                         which lead to true knowledge of the Nature of God, whether

                         as Absolute Beingness, as Christ Logos or as the Holy Spirit.

 

So, true Christianity is not just any religion, but a full reflection of the Truth. It is a continuous and vital exhortation to the understanding of Truth. The Lord Jesus Himself says, "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). He calls Himself ,"the Way, the Truth and the Life" (John 14:6).

 

Most sweet Jesus, of all holiness the most Holy Logos, is the hope and refuge of us all. His desire to lead all human­ity to the Heavenly Father is boundless. Whatever is a part of Christ is also a part of us, because each of us has the Christ within us, just as we all live within Christ.

 

Saint Paul, who was carried up to the "third heaven" (2 Cor.12:2), tells us, "For all things are yours; whether Paul or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come: all are yours, and you are Christ's and Christ is God's (1 Cor. 3:21-23).

 

It is up to us to "knock" or to "seek" and, if your faith has the size even of a grain of mustard seed, what we seek will be given to us.

 

In the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of

Paul, there is an infinity of spiritual wisdom. There is

Divine Wisdom and Divine Love in their entirety. Blessed be

the devout Researchers of Truth!

 

ET 120        When Moses began to look within himself and consciously moved up to the level of the cerebellum, which was symbolised by the bramble bush which is in flame --that never burns away--, he heard, for the first time, the voice of God. When, at some time, we too can energize the etheric disc - which is centered in the cerebellum - we shall hear the voice of our Inner Self, our Self-aware Soul. Then we shall understand just how sacred is this space we occupy. We are standing on holy ground!

       ET 121        Jesus Christ gives the precise concept and degree of inter­dependence of      these bodies (material, psychic and noetical) in the parable of the woman who took some yeast and mixed it into three measures of flour until they all became leavened (Matthew 13:33). The woman symbolizes the Self-aware Soul, the yeast is its projection as a permanent personality and the measures of flour are our three bodies. We must understand that there is total balance  and cooperation between the bodies.
