Lesson 22: The Restoration

Christ

(See “Tarot and Kabbalah, chapter “Chokmah”) (See “The Message of Aquarius”, chapter “The Son of Man”)

Let us remind individuals that when we speak of Christ we are not referring to a person (to the V.M. Jeshua Ben Pandira), but to a Power that exists outside and within us.

  • Christ is the supreme cosmic power. He is the Solar Logos. He is the life that pulsates within everything.
  • Every human being has his own Inner Christ. Christ is beyond the Inner Christ and his 7 bodies.
  • Christ is the One who unites us with the Father. If we want to return to the Father (the Absolute) we must first work to incarnate Christ. To incarnate Christ we must transform ourselves into a Temple in which He can dwell. “I am the way, the truth, and life; no one comes to the Father but through me.” — John 14:6

The Church of Christ

  • Our physical body should be a Church in which Christ (our Being) dwells. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” - 1 Corinthians 3:16
  • Unfortunately humans, because of the transgressions and abuses they committed, let the ‘ego’ dwell within them instead of Christ, and they ceased to be a Church.
  • Now we must restore our Church so that our Inner Christ may dwell in it again and officiate.
  • If we look at it on the external level, a Church of Christ is an inner initiatic school that teaches us the keys to restoring our own Church.

1. Love

(See “The Perfect Matrimony”, chapter “Sexual Yoga”) (See “The Perfect Matrimony”, chapter “Happiness, Music, Dancing and the Kiss”) (See “Esoteric Course of Kabbalah”, chapter “Arcana 19”)

  • Christ is love. He who does not love cannot incarnate his Inner Christ because he deprives Him of the right to express Himself and do His Work. “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you, abide in my love.” — John 15:9 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” — Mark 12:29-31 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.” — John 15:12
  • The “ego” cannot truly love. It may have attachment, passion, sentimentality, desire, etc. for a person, but that is not love. True love is conscious love.
  • Only the Soul can truly love. Humans have only a small piece of the Soul embodied: the Essence. One embodies his Soul to the extent that he dissolves the ‘ego’.

2. Chastity

(See “The Mysteries of Fire”, chapter “Universal Fire”)

  • The Christ within us resides in the sexual glands. Sexual energy is Christic. The semen is made up of the most powerful solar atoms: it is concentrated solar light. Whoever expels sexual energy from his body loses the ability to incarnate Christ. “And Jacob’s well was there. […] A woman from Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink. […] If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. […] Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. John 4:6-16
  • The semen is the raw material from which we must build the Church of Christ. Whoever expels sexual energy from his body loses the material with which he can build his inner Church. “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 19:18-19 “To whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected by men but chosen by God and precious, you also, like living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is contained in the scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious; and he who believes in him will not be put to shame.” So the honor is to you who believe; but to those who disobey, “the stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner,” and “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” — 1 Peter 2:4-7
  • By working with sexual alchemy we transform the lunar structure into a solar one. The Inner Christ has a very high tendency which the lunar bodies cannot withstand. The Inner Christ has a very high voltage which the lunar bodies cannot withstand. Therefore, in order to incarnate Christ we must first create a solar structure within which He can reside and express Himself. A single person who works with sexual transmutation, although he cannot create the Solar Bodies, also does the restoration of his Church, regenerating the body, developing the chakras, crystallizing the virtues of the Soul, etc.

3. Transubstantiation

(See “Alchemy - The Second Birth”, chapter “Transmutation and Mutation”)

  • Transubstantiation is the highest type of energy transformation. It is the most powerful way to receive forces and energies that will help us in our inner work.

  • In Transubstantiation, the bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ. (1) Christic atoms descend from the higher worlds and are deposited in the bread and wine. (2) At the same time, the Christic atoms that are already in the bread and wine, which were collected from the wheat and grape as they ripened, are released and activated. These Christic atoms enter our organism to fight our inner darkness and to give us impetus and strength on our path. “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. […] Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. […] Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. […] Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him.” - John 6:51,53,54,56

  • To perform this mystery, we need: A Priest and an Isis (Priestess) at an altar. o It is necessary that both poles are present: positive (Priest) and negative (Isis), because otherwise there cannot be the Third Force that will make the crystallization. o The altar symbolizes the Cubic Stone, the Philosopher’s Stone, that is, the sexual energy perfectly sculpted. These people must be chaste, that is, each of them must work with sexual transmutation. They must be conscious at the moment they perform this mystery. o The person who receives the Transubstantiation must also be conscious at the moment they consume it.

  • Symbolically we see that: The bread symbolizes the body of Christ: the Teaching. o We eat the body of Christ when we live according to His Teaching and die psychologically. Wine symbolizes the blood of Christ: Alchemy. o We drink the blood of Christ when we work on sexual transmutation. When someone does both, they can reach Self-Realization. o Someone who eats the body, but does not drink the blood, kills the ‘ego’, becomes a saint, but cannot advance initiatic. o Someone who drinks the blood, but does not eat the body, becomes a Hanasmussen (a person with a double center of gravity), because they work with energy, but do not kill the ‘ego’.

    (See “The Jewels of the Yellow Dragon”, “Jewel 25”)

We cannot say completely clearly that we have Priests and Isis and that we perform the mystery of Transubstantiation in the Second Chamber, but essentially it is as if we mean it.

4. Dissemination of Teachings

(See “The Sacrifice”, chapter “The Mission” and “The Sacrifice of the Sun”)

  • Christ is the Verb. He is always incarnated in the Great Teachers and comes into the world in order to teach. Therefore, to incarnate Him, we must imitate Him on our level, spreading His Teaching. “And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom” - Matthew 9:35 ”[…] which is Christ in you, the hope of glory; whom we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ […]” - Colossians 1:27-28
  • Christ is the Sacrifice. All kinds of sacrifice are praiseworthy, but the highest charity is to give someone the Teaching, because it can save the Soul.
  • By teaching what we have learned we progress internally and we ourselves: When someone tries to convey the Teaching, they understand it better. We “empty our cup” and this allows us to then receive new teachings. We gain the values (Dharma) to progress internally. Therefore, the one who does not teach what he has learned remains stagnant.
  • Spreading the Teachings is not only about giving lectures, since there are people who do not have this inclination. It is also: To teach by our example. To support the Missionaries and the Foundation, since through them the Teachings are spread. To give advice (when asked) that is in accordance with the Teachings.

5. Conquering the Inner Light

(See “The Third Circle”, chapter “The Inspiration and the Awakening of Man”) (See “The 13th Jewel of the Yellow Dragon”, “11. Inspiration” and “12. Transformation”) (See “The 33rd Jewel of the Yellow Dragon”, “The 10th Commandment of the Sun”) (See “Light in the Darkness”, chapter “The Sense of Inspiration”)

  • The science of the inner Light is the science of Inspiration.
  • To be inspired is to evoke a higher state of consciousness. Although inspiration often comes by itself, we must seek it in order to learn to evoke it. Each person is inspired by different things: o E.g. by the beauty of Nature (a sunset, the starry sky, flowers, a beautiful landscape, etc.) o E.g. by a work of objective art (classical music, painting, poetry, etc.) o E.g. by his inner Father, his Divine Mother or his inner Christ. o E.g. by a Master of the White Lodge. o E.g. by the Teaching. o E.g. by the Wisdom with which God creates the Universe (mathematics, physics, etc.)
  • Inspiration is the most powerful technique to control the mind and awaken Consciousness. The moment we get inspired, the earthly mind becomes passive and we come into contact with the higher mind and the higher emotion. In this state, Consciousness awakens. o The technique of inspiration allows us to awaken Consciousness ten times faster.
  • Inspiration also allows us to transform energy into Light and stabilize it in the heart. When we do alchemy, pranayama, runes, mantra vocalization, esoteric exercises, etc., we transform and concentrate within ourselves certain amounts of energy. This energy must then be stabilized in the heart as spiritual Light, otherwise it is most likely that the ‘ego’ will slowly take it and become stronger. Therefore, every time we do transmutation practices, runes, vocalization, etc. When we finish, we must dedicate a few minutes to evoking a state of inspiration so as to crystallize this Light in the heart.

6. Uniting our truth with God’s Truth

(See “The Jewels of the Yellow Dragon”, Jewel 28) (See “Fundamental Education”, chapter “The Truth”) (See “The Science of Music”, chapter “The Truth”) (See “Reflections of An Investigator 1”, chapter “The World Rejects the Truth”)

  • Each person has their own truth according to their personal views, ideas and experiences.
  • But God’s Truth lies beyond the mind. “To the mind, Truth is the unknown from moment to moment.”
  • We cannot know Truth through books, lectures, discussions, etc. Truth is what we experience when Conscience awakens. “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:32
  • To unite our truth with God’s Truth we must: Understand that Truth is not found in any belief, theory, group, school or doctrine. Eliminate prejudices and wrong mental attitudes from within us. Neither accept nor reject, but consciously investigate to arrive at our own understanding. Not be content with believing, but practice the Teachings to arrive at our own experience.
  • “For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.” - John 18:37

7. Conquering the Four Elements

  • The four elements of Nature can function as a vehicle for either Consciousness or the ‘ego’. Each element has a negative side that is antagonistic to our inner work. By overcoming the negative side of each element we conquer it and put it at the service of Consciousness and our inner work. Each element we conquer becomes for us a component for the construction of our inner Church.
  • The antagonistic sides of the elements cause us: Earth: inertia, laziness. Water: lust, passion. Air: negative thoughts, doubts. Fire: anger, pride.
  • To overcome them we need to practice: Earth: diligence. Water: transmutation and chaste thoughts-words-actions. Air: control of the mind and solar faith. Fire: non-reaction, understanding and tranquility.
  • When we conquer them we are given: Earth: stability and certainty. Water: joy and harmony. Air: freedom and inspiration. Fire: peace and love.

At the end of this lesson we should talk to the people about how we will continue in the Second Chamber.

We should tell them:

  1. What the Second Chamber is.
  2. What the requirements to continue in the Second Chamber are.

(1) Explain to them that the Second Chamber is a more advanced level with stronger practices, deeper teachings, etc. that will help us immensely in our inner work and in life.

We should tell them a few words about the activities of the Second Chamber:

  • Rituals
    • We must have already prepared them from the previous lessons, especially from lesson 12, to have an understanding at this point.
    • We must explain to them that this is the most powerful part of the Second Chamber and that when we consciously and mystically attend the rituals we receive a huge amount of energy, spiritual power and light so that each of us can do our personal work.
  • Chains
    • There are team practices to ask for healing, strength, etc.
    • In a chain, each participant puts their energy and their percentage of Consciousness, so that collectively we achieve a much greater result than we would achieve alone.
  • Lectures
    • In the Second Chamber we continue studying the Teachings at a deeper level.
  • Meditation Practices
    • As with the Chains, with group meditation we benefit from the energy vortex that is formed and helps us achieve greater results.

(2) Requirements:

  • They must have accepted the 3 Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness.
    • We must explain to them that the activities of the Second Chamber take place in spaces that are specially dedicated to it and are called “Lumisial.”
    • “Lumisial” in the golden language means “The place from which the Light comes out.”
    • These spaces are charged with a very strong and pure energy, since they are used only for esoteric activities.
  • They must have the sacred attire (tunic, rope, and sandals).
    • In the Lumicial, of course, we cannot participate with our normal clothes and shoes, therefore we use a special attire for it.
    • Each person who wants to participate in the Second Chamber must have their own sacred clothing which will be made at their own expense and for which they will be responsible.
    • We never start making a tunic for a person who has not first given the full amount of money.
    • This tunic symbolizes the Solar Bodies and is also an energetic protection for the one who wears it.
  • To go through the initiation ritual.
    • We can never tell individuals anything about the procedures of the initiation ritual.
    • We will only say that they must go through an initiation ritual in which the Essence symbolically experiences the inner path that it must walk.

Suggested Practice with the Cosmic Christ

  • At the end of the lesson we will do:
    • Rune Thorn.
    • The Gnostic Prayer.
    • A guided meditation practice.
  • First we all do the Rune THORN together, vocalizing the mantras TI-TE-TO-TU-TA three times and then doing the mantra THORN 7 times.
  • Then we raise our hands, visualize the light and power of the CHRIST-SUN entering our body through the hands and repeat the words from the Gnostic Prayer.
  • Then we sit for the meditation practice.
    • We take a few deep breaths, relax, empty the mind, etc.
    • We concentrate on the crown and ask our Being to open this centre so that we can receive the help of CHRIST.
    • We vocalize the mantra AUM 3 times all together.
    • We invoke the COSMIC CHRIST and we ask of him to shower and flood us with his Light, his Love and his Strength.
    • We visualize it entering our body through the crown and filling all atoms, molecules, cells, chakras, etc. with harmony, peace, healing, impetus, and enthusiasm.
    • We remain in silence and peace for a while.
    • We give thanks.
    • The practice will last for about 25-30 minutes (without the Rune and the Gnostic Prayer).

After we finish the lesson and the practice, we should tell the individuals that this is where the First Chamber ends and that we will continue with the bridge lessons with the individuals who want to advance.
