Dans le Nouveau Testament, nous trouvons une déclaration de lois concernant le mariage et le « divorce » pendant cette période particulière de l'histoire. Jésus a dit à ses disciples : « Quiconque répudie sa femme et en épouse une autre commet un adultère à son égard. Et si une femme répudie son mari et s'en joint à un autre, elle commet un adultère. »[1]

Les disciplines morales imposées de l'extérieur à cette époque sont destinées à être imposées de l'intérieur pendant les périodes d'initiation personnelle et planétaire accélérée, comme celle que nous traversons actuellement. À la fin de ce cycle de deux mille ans, lorsque les âmes sont réunies pour la rédemption du karma, il est parfois nécessaire que les individus se marient plus d'une fois au cours d'une incarnation afin d'expier le karma créé par leurs engagements dans leurs vies passées.

Therefore, divorce has been sanctioned by the Lords of Karma—providing certain requirements of the Law are met. Only those earthly marriages that coincide with the heavenly union of twin flames created by God are sealed for eternity. But no contract should be broken except by mutual consent and for just cause under the laws of Hierarchy, many of which are reflected in the laws of the land regarding divorce.

La règle d'or du mariage

La règle d'or du mariage est de se mettre entièrement au service du Christ présent dans son partenaire et de ne pas renoncer à ses vœux tant que toutes les mesures n'ont pas été prises pour préserver l'harmonie du foyer. Là où il n'y a pas d'harmonie, où les fruits du Christ ne se manifestent pas, il n'y a pas de représentation adéquate du Dieu-Père-Mère et il y a donc du karma à maintenir une telle union. Une situation discordante doit être soit guérie dans l'amour, soit dissoute dans l'amour, les deux parties suivant alors des chemins séparés.

Mais que chacun entende cet avertissement solennel : à moins d'avoir tout donné pour préserver l'union, il sera tenu pour responsable. La rencontre de son âme sœur ou un changement soudain d'intérêts ne doivent pas être interprétés comme une raison pour abandonner celui ou celle qui a été loyal(e) et aimant(e) et qui a fait sa part pour préserver le contrat de mariage.

La dispensation du Verseau

Le maître ascensionné Godfre a dit :

Some law is unchanging, but there are rulings, there are dispensations, there are interpretations that come forth which, according to the times, may have an alteration. Take, for instance, the law that was given at the time of Jesus and Paul that there should be no divorce.[2] This was a very necessary law in that time because of the sensuality of the people, because of the need to establish the Holy Family matrix and for souls to work out their karma and not to be allured, one to the other. We do not advocate divorce in this day and age, but we recognize that two thousand years later there is a different situation on earth. That situation is the acceleration of the balance of karma.

With the acceleration of these cycles, therefore, it sometimes becomes necessary for individuals to change partners, as you say, for a higher purpose, for a higher calling and for the working out of that manifestation of light within them, especially in the case of lightbearers, where past associations do not lead to the victory of the soul or to the path of initiation. It becomes necessary, then, to cut those ties, to go on and to know that you can balance karma on a universal basis. And so you see, it was Jesus himself who gave this teaching; yet Jesus today standing before you would [in some cases] give you the opposite teaching.

Do you not understand, then, that the ascended masters are here because we must work with the needs of the hour? We must work with the current manifestations of free will. As free will responds to God’s will, then there is created a new dispensation and a new requirement for an interpretation of the law.[3]

Making a decision regarding divorce

The Brotherhood tells us that each one must search his soul and discover whether or not we have done all in our power to bring harmony to a marriage and a home, to make a go of it, and whether there is such disagreement and such discord that it would be more costly to the partners to remain together than it would be to go their separate ways.

The ascended masters are concerned that we do not walk out on our responsibilities and our karma. We have to beware of self-righteousness in marriage, of condemnation of the spouse. We have to beware of intolerance. Our spouses don’t have to be the same religion as we are. They may be very devout and holy people in their own vein. What is important is that there be harmony, and, if there are children in the family, that they see a unity of the parents, a proper and dignified representation of the Father-Mother God and not continual strife and self-degradation.
