Jesus' Fourth Degree Initiation

As the blood decreased in Jesus’ body, flowing from the wounds in His body, He slowly came out of His body and saw the miracle of the ages: a Chalice with twelve petals above His head and a crown of thorns. He saw a white-blue central fire in it, which was bubbling and slowly penetrating from petal to petal toward the edges, and when the blue and white glow of fire passed the boundaries of the petals, in an amazing conflagration, the whole Chalice melted into the blue sphere in which He saw a Presence holding to His heart a triumphant warrior. The Presence touched Jesus’ forehead and said farewell... In a flash of time, Jesus identified Himself with the warrior and felt great pain, a pain in “spirit,” because of the departure of that Presence. And He said, “Why are you forsaking me?” This was the last renouncement. Then Jesus saw the destruction of the Inner Temple, and the departure from Him of the Agelong Guide. A second later He felt Divine Bliss filling His whole being because He met Himself, within Himself, as a triumphant warrior.

As He was undergoing this rare experience within the sphere of His higher mind, His body was bleeding, the sun was setting and a few of His beloved ones, including the Holy Mother, were watching Him. It was at this moment that in tremendous joy He announced His victory to the world.

“It is accomplished!”

The agelong labor pointing toward the release of His Inner Presence and entrance into His own Inner Being was finished and now greater paths were opening for Him. This is but a glimpse of the glorious initiation through which He passed to become a Fourth Degree Initiate.
