The New Human Being

The Tree of Life is a universal symbol of the three-fold structure of Creation and of the human being, made in the image and likeness of God, emanating from the Absolute Origin of Being.  Through the fulfillment of the Testament of Truth the life of humankind will develop and grow as a Tree of Life on all levels – microcosmic, socio-cultural and macrocosmic.  On a microcosmic level human beings will be transformed into cosmic spiritual persons – Sons and Daughters of the Lord, beloved children of God.  On a socio-cultural level humankind will become God's people on sacred Earth. On a macrocosmic level human beings will enter into the Reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth where they will live in the presence of the Lord God forever.  

So, on the microcosmic level the human beings will transform themselves into cosmic spiritual persons (sons and daughters of God) who are living simultaneously in the whole three-fold vertical structure of Creation: with a purified physical body and enlightened human personality in the physical world; with a blossoming Soul in the Celestial World and with an awakened Divine Spirit in the Highest Divine World.  For this purpose, they have to undergo two main spiritual transformations. Here, symbolically, we are calling them resurrections, because each of them is connected with a new birth. The first resurrection is rebirth as a Divine Soul from the first, material world into the second, heavenly world, woven by celestial light, love, music, high human virtues and spiritual abilities.  The second resurrection is rebirth from the heavenly world into the highest Divine World – a mystery connected with the awakening of the higher Divine Self which enables the human being to contemplate the whole of Creation and to co-create with God.  In every spiritual tradition we find profound and inspiring descriptions of the great spiritual journey of the human being through the two resurrections towards complete self-realisation and final liberation in God.

In the first resurrection the human being is transfigured from an earthly personality into a heavenly soul (a 'psycho-soulful essence').  The inner  'spiritual senses', i.e. the mind and the heart, develop in the process of the blossoming of the soul and begin to build the bodies of the higher intellect, higher emotions and higher will.  The human being is then imbued with very refined, delicate, yet powerful feelings; profound insight into the spiritual aspect of life is gained; the limitations and obstructions of the egocentric  'I' are overcome and the person starts to 'live for the whole'.  Gradually this process leads to the realisation of the spiritual essence of the Universe.

With the blossoming of the soul, the human being no longer identifies solely with the physical body, but sees himself as a psycho-soulful essence (a part of the Universal Soul), consisting of spiritual colour rays of light and living heavenly music in which the highest human virtues are manifested.  With the first resurrection the human being becomes one with his soul, understands the spiritual nature of the Universe, develops new abilities, creates a new body, the perfect celestial body, and finally enters into the world of angels.

After the first resurrection human beings are able to express the Divine virtues hidden in their souls.  Behind each of these virtues (such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, charity, faith, gentleness, humility, compassion, beauty and many others) lies a spiritual colour ray of Light emitted by the highest Divine world.  So, when a person develops the qualities which each Divine colour ray brings, his/her aura will contain all the spiritual colours of the Divine Rainbow and will approach the integral White Light of the Divine Masters.

Through the blossoming of the soul the human being enters into the reality of the second, angelic, world of the three-fold structure of Creation. There, those who have completed the spiritual rebirth (the first resurrection), have the possibility to continue their spiritual path and to ascend to the highest Divine World. In the highest Divine World they could undergo the second resurrection, awakening their higher Divine Self.  For this purpose the followers on the Path have to enter into one or another Temple of the world religions in the Heavenly Jerusalem, to link with the Divine Master there, and the personification of the Divine Feminine connected with him, and to receive an initiation. Thus, by merging with the perfect universal body of the Divine Master, the followers start developing their own universal bodies.

The second resurrection of the human beings happens when they open all of their seven spiritual centres (chakras). The first resurrection occurs when the human being opens completely his fourth, heart, centre (anahata chakra).  This is the process of the blossoming of the human soul and the entry into the Garden of Paradise.  The second resurrection occurs when the heavenly born human being opens his sixth centre, the 'third eye' (ajna chakra), and becomes able to contemplate the spiritual structure of Creation.  Then he/she illuminates the seventh centre, the thousand-petalled lotus, merges with the Living God and becomes the human being created in the image and likeness of God with an awakened higher Divine Self.

In the second resurrection the followers on the Path of the Initiate are transfigured into cosmic-spiritual beings.  In the process of this second rebirth the physical body becomes completely illuminated and spiritualised.  The higher emotional body develops into a body of Divine Love, the higher intellectual body develops into a body of Divine Wisdom and the higher will body develops into a body of Divine Will and Truth.

It is during this second resurrection that the human being ceases to identify even with the Soul and unites with the Living God. Since God is Love, God is Wisdom and God is Truth, the transfigured human being now becomes love of Love, wisdom of Wisdom and truth of Truth – the essential characteristics and attributes of one who is a Son or Daughter of God.  Thus, undergoing the second resurrection, the human being, by uniting with the Divine Spirit within, transcends even the world of angels and enters into the highest Divine world.

So, when the human beings have undergone the second resurrection, their existence extends to the whole three-fold vertical structure of the Universe as the Tree of Life: they live in the physical world with an illuminated physical body and personality, in the world of angels with a Soul in full bloom, and in the highest Divine world with an awakened Divine Self.  Thus they achieve the richness and fullness of their cosmic-spiritual wholeness and become models of the Universe with three perfect bodies. This is the Eternal Truth about the human being revealed by all world religions.

In our time however, in order for the human being to become a "blossoming" Tree of Life, i.e. to realise completely his creative spiritual potential as a Being, made in the image and likeness of God, he/she have to achieve two more sublime levels in his development – receiving the Crown of Initiations and merging with God as a Co-creator.  

Receiving the initiations of the Divine Masters in the various Temples of the world religions, the followers on the Path gradually develop the qualities for entry into the centre of the Heavenly Jerusalem and experiencing the wholeness of the Kingdom of God where there are many mansions.  In this sublime state of consciousness, they merge with the Absolute Origin of Being, the Lord God Almighty, "who was, who is and who is to come" (Revelation 4: 8) and experience the "New Pentecost". The Divine Spirit comes to remain in them and they receive the "Crown of Initiations".

The Divine Service in the Centre of the Heavenly Jerusalem contains enormous richness for contemplation, meditation and co-creation.  Through it the Initiates enter into a qualitatively new state of cosmic consciousness in which there is balance, synchronization and complete harmony between all archetypal polarities in Creation: between earthly and celestial forces, masculine and feminine Divine energies, micro and macro, inner and outer planes of existence, between the past, present and future in human history, between east and west, north and south in human culture and so on.  

In order to receive the Crown of initiations and to contemplate the wholeness of the Kingdom of God, the initiates have to develop (based on the results of their second resurrection) many new spiritual qualities related to the activation of the various Divine archetypes.  Obviously, mystical comprehension of the opposing, yet complementary Divine archetypes quoted above requires the development of different spiritual abilities.  For instance, in order to enter into the spiritual Universe through the microcosmic or macrocosmic gates, we have, on the one hand, to develop the ability to focus on the smallest 'quantums of consciousness' (as in Buddhism) and, on the other hand, to become able to comprehend the evolution of every form of life over thousands of years (as in the initiation of the Master Beinsa Douno).  Thus, the integration of various initiations in the spiritual history of humankind opens new horizons for the evolution of the human being.

Experiencing these most elevated states of consciousness, the Initiates will be ready to meet the Second Coming of the Divine Masters, to participate in the Divine Wedding in Heaven and to co-create with God for the descent of the Kingdom of God on Earth.  After receiving the Crown of Initiations, the mystical path towards Co-creation with God is completely open. In essence, Co-creation with God is an even higher state of consciousness than receiving the Crown of Initiations.  

Participation in the Divine Wedding, resulting in co-creation with God, is the highest stage of human evolution on Earth. At this stage the human beings develop the highest Divine qualities, abilities and virtues, that of Sons and Daughters of God, who participate consciously in the evolution of Creation.  Finally, through co-creation with God they become Divine Temples where the Holy Spirit comes to remain forever.

It is only through the miracle of Co-creation with God that human beings can completely unfold the Divine potential of their higher Selves.  Moreover, Co-creation is the way in which they can express the uniqueness of their spirits 'printed' in them from the beginning of their existence.  By following the Path of the Initiate in the fulfillment of the Testament of Truth, every human being will receive a unique mission in the great apocalyptic process of the re-creation of the world.  And because they will be in God's consciousness and the Living God will act through them, their unique missions will be inscribed in the Great Divine Plan for the New World.  Through Co-creation with God the human beings will penetrate to the very depths of the Second Coming of the Divine Masters because the Second Coming is a Divine action in which the Masters themselves co-create with God.

Thus, in the fulfillment of the Testament of Truth, experiencing the mysteries of the first and second resurrections, humankind will be blessed with two qualitatively new stages of human evolution on Earth – receiving the "Crown of Initiations" and "Co-creation with God".  The "Crown of Initiations" introduces us to the totality of the Kingdom of God, while "Co-creation with God" initiates us into the celestial task of bringing the reality of the Kingdom of God down on Earth and building ourselves as Divine Temples. This is the complete self-realisation of the human being, created in the image and likeness of God, who becomes a blossoming cosmic-spiritual Tree of Life.
