Fourteen stations of the cross: Difference between revisions

The fourth station is “Jesus meets his afflicted mother,” the three o’clock line of Aries and God-control. This is the line of the ego, where we must choose between the human ego and the Christ Ego. We must surrender the ego that we love most—the ego that is our own. But we often do not admit that it is our own, and therefore we objectify that love in another. And so we find that the one whom Jesus loved most was his mother. As he looked into the eyes of Mary, he determined that he would go on. He would separate himself from that which he loved most and therefore slay the carnal mind within that, through human sympathy, would cause him to remove himself from the Path. The misuse of this line is the conceit of the ego that would carve out its own path according to its own terms.
