CRUCIFIXION OF PURUSHA, OR THE SACRIFICE OF THE MAN
A symbol of the Divine sacrifice, that is, the
limitation and involution of the Divine energies and qualities
within forms of matter.
"Now the sacrifice is the Man. sacrifice is the Man for the reason
that the Man spreads it; and that in being spread it is made of
exactly the same extent as the Man: this is the reason why the
sacrifice is the Man."-Sata. Brâh.
The Divine sacrifice is consummated in the Archetypal Man. The
sacrifice is of God's nature, for God, in manifesting himself,
limits himself. The Divine energy-Spirit, enters into the receptive
principle Matter, and spreads through it fully and perfectly. The
sacrifice is the preparation of the way of the Souls.
"I stretched out my hands and approached the Lord : for the
stretching out of my hands is a sign: my expansion is the outspread
cross." - Psalms and Odes of Solomon, ps. 42.
