ELIJAH THE PROPHET
A symbol of the higher emotion-nature which
brings the dawn of the higher consciousness and recognition of
Truth-reality.
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and
terrible day of the Lord come." - MAL. iv. 5.
"Elijah" is the messenger of the Lord," that is, the awakenment of
the consciousness which brings the recognition of a higher order,
but which does not of itself do more than extend the spiritual
boundary, as it were. This stage of a higher consciousness is the
forerunner of the Christ consciousness, and therefore announces to
the attentive lower self the turning of the heart towards the Lord
from whom redemption is to be obtained. The "terrible day of the
Lord" is the period or moment when the lower personality must be
extinguished, and if it be all cast away,- then indeed it is the
Lord's dreadful day, the day of the "crucifixion " or the crossing
over from the lower to the higher planes.
