The Three Factors of the Living Christ
Do you truly believe that Jesus took away our sins? If that were so, we would already be perfect beings – wouldn’t we? To make such a claim is to disregard the entire sacrifice Christ made by spreading Sacred Teachings to save us from the abyss. Christ Jesus publicly revealed a narrow and revolutionary path to salvation - the Three Factors of the Living Christ - when He called the crowd and His disciples to Himself and said: "Whoever desires to come after Me, let them deny themselves (To Die), take up their cross (To Be Born), day after day, and follow Me (Sacrifice for Humanity)." [Luke 9:23]
Denying the Self – The First Factor
One must die within in order to be born. To deny oneself is to die to sin, the ego, the beast, or one's psychological defects. In our teachings, there are practices designed to develop self-observation. This sublime capacity belongs to the Cosmic Essence. We possess 3% of free Essence, though it remains asleep, while the remaining 97% of our Essence is trapped within the inhuman Ego. To liberate the Essence is a constant work of self-observation and sincere supplication to the Divine Mother, whose wisdom and power transcend the mind (intellect). The First Factor is essential for anyone who sincerely longs to cease sinning (creating Karma) and attain genuine inner repentance, for everything that manifests in the physical world is first conceived in the mind. Human psychology still remains at the animal stage, and only through the conscious practice of the Three Factors we can be transformed into authentic human beings endowed with awakened consciousness.
Take Up Your Cross – The Second Factor
The Cross symbolizes the intersection of life. We are born of the flesh, but few are born of the Soul and the Spirit [John 3:6]. United, man and woman represent the two polarities of creation: masculine and feminine. And through their sacred sexual union, they form the Sacred Cross of Salvation. We already know that the seed, when deposited in the womb, has the power to generate physical life. Yet few understand that the same creative force also holds the power to regenerate the Soul. Through conscious breathing and regulated inhalation and exhalation, the couple learns to transmute the Creative Energy by restraining the physiological orgasm and seminal ejaculation, thus avoiding sin against the Sixth Commandment: "You shall not commit fornication.” The Second Factor leads the initiate to the true Baptism through the Waters of Life. It is a sacred work performed throughout the entire lifetime of a husband and wife; it is a path of inner transformation, never a romantic adventure.
Follow Me – The Third Factor
Freely sharing the Three Factors of the Living Christ, means following the triumphant footsteps of the Christs, who left behind the maps of the Path. The sacrifice we make out of love for our fellow human beings is essential for the acquisition of spiritual merits. We are judged by our deeds, not by our intentions. Give Consciousness freely, expecting nothing in return, and you too will be helped by the Divine Law. Humanity is in need of conscious beings who seek to love more than to be loved.
