“But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will conic unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will 1 give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
REVELATION 2: 13 -17
31.The lunar body or inferior Astral body, called Satan in esoteric Christian language, is connected to the solar plexus.
32.Now our disciples will comprehend from where the desires of overeating and drinking alcohol come.
33.Now our brothers will understand where the craving for fornication and gluttony are born,
34.The lunar body is a remnant from our animal past.
35.The ancestral inheritance from the animal kingdom is preserved as our lower passions within the lunar body.
36.When we were animal elementals, our Astral lunar (protoplasmatic) body was not yet divided,
37. Yet, when we, for the first time, entered into the human kingdom, this Astral lunar body was divided in two portions, one superior, this was imbibed by the mind
(inferior manas); any yogi moves consciously with this part during sleep. The other, the inferior, is called Satan in the esoteric Christian language; this is the inferior lunar Astral body (Kama-Rupa).
38.This lunar body is gigantic and deformed in perverse personalities.
39. Now our brothers and sisters will understand why our Lord the Christ said: “Not until you become as children can you enter the kingdom of heaven.”
40.Satan is nourished with our appetites and passions. Yet, when we remove the sources of his nutrition, he becomes smaller and beautiful.
41.This is how, dear brethren, we eat of hidden Manna, the Bread of Wisdom.
42.This is how, beloved disciples, we receive the cornerstone from the Temple of the Living God.
43.That cornerstone is our resplendent Dragon of Wisdom, our Inner Christ, that is the Breath of the Central Sun within us.
44. This is the small white Stone on which is written our holy name.
43. Repent, dear brethren, and finish with all your defects.
46. Sanctify yourselves, brethren of my Soul, so that you will not fall into the lunar abysses (Avitchi).
47. Perverse personalities are divorced from the Monad and sink themselves into the lunar abysses of the Eighth Sphere.
