Awakening the God-Man

There are two fields of existence. One is the static domain of the supernature and the other is the dialectic, fallen field-of-life. Dialectics consists of dense material and tenuous fields: the material sphere and reflection sphere. Man expresses himself in the material sphere by means of his material body and in the reflection sphere by means of his etheric body, astral body and thinking faculty. These forces maintain our physical body, emotions and mental activities. So man is very intimately related to the fields of matter and with the reflection sphere.

At present the reflection sphere domains are still invisible to and uncontrollable by most people. An enormous force and power emanates from the collective of human desiring, thinking and striving which are present in the reflection sphere as concentrations of astral substance. Without exception, all of us and our I-consciousness are controlled by the astral chords of the reflection sphere like puppets on a string.

The Universal Teachings do not address our material I-consciousness, but the sleeping God-man in us. It can only reveal itself if the I steps back in self-surrender. It is not a mystical directedness, neither is it rational comprehension, but an I-less opening of the entire being to the gnosis. The path of redemption begins when the God-man awakes from its sleep of death and can transfer its impressions to the consciousness.
