(Continued from Part 2, yesterday.)
From “That World is Nova Earth: An Introduction to Ascension – Part 1/2,” October 12, 2017, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/10/12/that-world-is-nova-earth-an-introduction-to-ascension-part-12/
Have we not got enough statements about “the essence of the One” to fill a book? (3) My favorite is from John Ruusbroec, who calls it the Christ, the Son of God:
“In the abyss of this darkness in which the loving spirit has died to itself, God’s revelation and eternal life have their origin, for in this darkness an incomprehensible light is born and shines forth; this is the Son of God, in whom a person becomes able to see and to contemplate eternal life.” (4)
“It is Christ, the light of truth, who says, ‘See,’ and it is through him that we are able to see, for he is the light of the Father, without which there is no light in heaven or on earth.” (5)
Call it the Christ, the Atman, or the Self, this divine spark, it turns out, is the missing link between angel and formless Father. I have always wondered what the levels were and the Mother has confirmed it.
We can take what she says and provide the rest:
The One ——-> The essence of the One [Christ, Self] ——-> The Angels ——-> Us.
So the soul is birthed and assumes angelic form and then assumes human form and here we all are.
That’s how we got here. How are we getting back?
(To be continued tomorrow, in Part 4.)
