This initiation takes place for many people, after they pass on, at the [[Ascension Temple|etheric temple at Luxor]] in Egypt. It is also given in one of the chambers of the [[Great Pyramid]], which is used at the etheric level for this test of laying down the body to see if man is attached to his body or if he knows that he is real in God. Just believing it is not enough. For in the hour of the dark night, all the momentums of the subconsciousness, which we call the electronic belt, rise up to challenge the light within man. | This initiation takes place for many people, after they pass on, at the [[Ascension Temple|etheric temple at Luxor]] in Egypt.

== A false doctrine of sacrifice == | |||
Although the L<small>ORD</small> had made known to [[Abraham]] that He did not require the sacrifice of his only son, although He had clearly spoken through his prophet [[Samuel]], “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams,”<ref>1 Sam. 15:22.</ref> the influence of this ancient custom prevailed even to the time of Jesus. And the erroneous interpretation of the doctrine concerning the blood sacrifice of Jesus—which misconception he himself never taught—has been perpetuated to the present hour, a remnant of pagan rite long refuted by the Word of the L<small>ORD</small>. | |||
God the Father did not require the sacrifice of his son Christ Jesus, or of any other incarnation of the Christ, as an atonement for the sins of the world; nor is it possible according to cosmic law for any man’s sacrifice to balance either the original sin or the subsequent sins—the karma—of the one or the many. However, one man’s sacrifice of the lower self—resulting in the soul’s sublime reunion with the Christ—can set aside the return of individual and planetary karma for a prescribed period of grace wherein the mercy of the Law gives mankind an extended opportunity to make the selfsame sacrifice of the human consciousness for the Divine. | |||
Only the right use of the power of the spoken Word, the Divine Logos, can atone for mankind’s sins. Only the Light of the Holy Spirit that flows through the Body of Christ (for which the Body and the Blood are symbols)<ref>John 6:53.</ref> can transform the mortal into the immortal. Therefore, only the sacrifice of the misqualified energies of the electronic belt through the ritual of transmutation can redeem the Christ Light in man. Truly, man sacrifices his Christ-identity when he fails to offer the sacred Word to the Almighty “in remembrance of me.”<ref>1 Cor. 11:24.</ref> Truly, he is unredeemed until he partakes of the sacred fire Eucharist and invokes through his being the consecrated essence of the Father-Mother God. | |||
Commands made in the name of the Ascended Sons and Daughters of God, then, are an acceptable sacrifice unto the living God. They replace the supposed need for either burnt offerings or animal or human sacrifice,<ref>Gen. 4:3–5, 22:1–14; Exod. 12:3–14.</ref> which for centuries both before and since the Christian dispensation have been placed on the altar of the Most High in the mistaken belief that these are required as a propitiation for the sins of the race. | |||
