Souls
come forth on Earth to execute the work of their ancestors -
The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
It
is necessary that they should find the Initiation which is in
the Books of Jeu, and which I caused Enoch to write in the Garden
of Eden when I spoke to him in the Building of Knowledge and
the Building of Life
Jesus of Nazereth - Teachings of the Master - The Path of
Light, p. 222.
I revealed
this everlasting yoga to Vivasvan, the sun, the father of light.
He in turn revealed it to Manu his son, the father of man. And
Manu taught his son, King Ikshvaku, the saint - Then it was taught
from father to son in the line of kings who were saints; but in
the revolutions of times immemorial this doctrine was forgotten
by men. I have been born many times, Arjuna, and many times hast
thou been born. But I remember my past lives, and thou has forgotten
thine - Krishna - Bhagavad Gita - Ch. 4, Verses
1, 2 and 5.
Without
freedom of will, there is no humanity; freedom of conscience
is both the birth and breath of manhood; the essence of the
soul is will - Basic Druidic doctrine.
It is
not possible to comprehend these mysteries of creation till
we have crossed the frontiers of mind and maya (the two lower
spiritual regions), and one should leave them alone - Yes souls
who are permanent denizens of these regions (the two lower ones)
sometimes incarnate themselves in this world in accordance with
the scheme of creation and, after doing their work, go back
to their place - Huzur Maharaj Charan Singh Ji - Light
on Sant Mat - p. 357 - Sant Mat is not a religion. The aim
is free thinking and direct contact with God through meditation.
In
a BBC John Freeman Face to Face interview in 1959 Freeman asked
Carl Jung: Do you now believe in God? - Jung replied…Now?…Difficult
to say…I know…I don't believe… I know. -
Carl G. Jung was a leading Gnostic scholar. He wrote Seven
Sermons to the Dead, using the name of the great Gnostic
teacher Basilides.
What
the Gnostic documents reveal to us is the spiritual attitude
of those who were the most tragically sensitive to the problems
of human destiny - Whence do I come? - Who am I? - What is this
material world? - Where shall I go after the end of this life?
- Jean Doresse in the introduction of his book The Secret
Books of the Egyptian Gnostics.
The
introduction into the bosom of Christianity of all the cosmological
and theosophical speculations, which had formed the most considerable
part of the ancient religions of the Orient, and had also been
adopted by the Neo-Platonists of the West - Definition of
Gnosticism by Matter in his Histoire Critique du Gnosticisme
(1828)
