Esoteric Teachings – for Good Friday.
“My Robe, my robe, my beautiful Robe (Soul)” (leaving the Fixed Cross of the Soul, mounting the Cardinal Cosmic Cross)

All of this is symbology – the Way of the Disciples, with four testings & the four paths relating to the four elements & the four leaders who put Christ on trial – Annas – earth (lower physical brain mind), Caiaphas, fire (ambition); Herod, Air. Pilate, water (he washed his hands of the whole affair, & let the people choose). Weakness & vacillation when called to stand for the Truth

Today is Good Friday, the day Christ carries the Cross to Golgotha, the Hill of Skulls, is crucified, dies & is placed in the tomb.
We know the story. However, it’s important to realize what the Crucifixion is about, what it means in our lives. And what it meant for the Christ & for Jesus.

First, humanity was unable to return home, our spiritual original home, the home of the Father (our origins).
Christ, by absorbing the darkness on earth (ignorance due to our far and long distance away from our spiritual home) and by anchoring Love (from Sirius) & the first strand of Will, was able to open the Gate (obstructed) leading us back “home”. We had experiences millions of years of involution (coming into matter, coming into the Earth plane). Unable to return home (evolution) we needed an intercession/intercessory which Christ’s presence on Earth provided (initiating the Age of Pisces, sign of saving humanity).

The Crucifixion (the “great Renunciation leading to Resurrection) is an Initiation phase/stage (the 4th of 7 Initiations). (At the 4th Initiation, Mercury & Saturn bring about the Great Changes & unique revelations”.) In the Crucifixion Initiation “the depths of aloneness are plumbed, we (the Christ & Jesus) stand completely alone & isolated, detached from that which is above & below, all desire is renounced, the Will of God (the Plan) is all that is desirable, yet is there enough strength to move forward into Service, into the Will of God completely? The task is given, the choice ours” And so, after all has been lost, everything betrayed, dissolved away, then our physical life is destroyed too. It is not necessarily a physical death. It is the death of the personality and of the little will. And the Soul disappears, our beautiful “robe” (of the Soul). We stand, without an intermediary, in front of the very “fiery face of God.” (note: all the Initiations before the Crucifixion/Renunciation, have prepared us for this “event.”)

During the Crucifixion Initiation the Christ & Jesus were on the “Cross of Right Direction, the fixed Cross of fixed vision, of immovable intent which draws from all points of light creating a blazing solar star of radiance.”

This (4th Initiation stage) experience of Crucifixion/Renunciation either will occur, has occurred, or is occurring in our lives.
Note that we saw this play out in our present-day world this week with a Disciple. And it continues to play out. All the steps were there.

The word crucifixion comes from two Latin words – “fix on a Cross”. The Cross referred to in this Initiation is the Cardinal Cross in the heavens, the disciple shifting from the Fixed Cross to the Cardinal Cross. When Christ died on the Cross, he left the Fixed Cross (Cross of the Soul) & mounted the Cardinal Cross (Cross of the Risen Christ, Universal consciousness leading to Cosmic consciousness – as yet unknown to us).

The Crucifixion Initiation allows the disciple to be in touch with the Monad (the Will of God). The Soul identity is no longer available. This is the culminating renunciation within lifetimes of little renunciations. Crucifixion is the climaxing gesture. Renunciation, consciously faced & understand, is the career of all aspirants and disciples.

At the end, before the Christ/Jesus dies, He says – “Father forgive them for they know not what they have done.”
Luke 24:34.

After this Initiation, the tests & trials on Earth are different.

fixed cross is the Cross of Crucifixion. Fixed Cross, the Soul, the Crucifixion. 4th Initiation is the Crucifixion. Fixed signs – Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius.

Let us stand with the Christ and Jesus (two Beings, two Masters, two different spiritual tasks, two Initiations) today within our hearts & minds. The three hours (12-3 pm) of preparation and death the Christ walked represent the three planes of our personality (physical, emotional, lower mental). The Christ Jesus renounced all three planes (personality), having placed it under Soul control for many incarnations. Now the Will of God will rule.

Let us walk the path (Stations of the Cross) to Golgotha (mount of skulls). Let us be aware of all those crucified in our world today. Let us stand together today and pray together today during all the hours of today. Let us seek to present an unobstructed channel for the inflow of Light, Love & Strength from the Hierarchy and make this statement from our Souls during this great Initiatic event.

The magnetic Will of the Christ drawing all of humanity out of material values to the world of spiritual recognition. The Crucifixion lead to the Resurrection of humanity lifted up to the world of the Soul. The new religion is about the Resurrection, the Radiant Way for humanity. The new Path. The world will be going into a state of Crucifixion leading to the spiritual Resurrection – from the old materialism to the new materialism.

Affirmation of the Disciple
In the center of the Will of God I stand.�
Naught shall deflect my will from His.
I implement that will by love.
I turn towards the field of service.
I, the Triangle divine, work out that Will
Within the square,
And serve my fellow men.”
(Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. II, p. 141)
