JESUS, MORTAL
A symbol of the Christ-soul, or almost perfected
personality, subject to the death of its lower nature.
"The Holy Spirit, by his influence and spiritual infusion, makes the
earth conceive and bring forth the mortal Jesus, who, as hanging
from every tree, is the life and salvation of men (Manichæan
doctrine). - AUGUSTINE, Manichæan Heresy, p. 366.
The Higher Self brooding over the highest part of the lower nature
(earth) so purifies and fructifies it that it is enabled to bear and
bring forth the Christ-soul (Jesus) within the many souls of
humanity. In each soul the incarnate Christ inheres within the
personality, as it were, hanging from the "Tree of Life" or Divine
ray within it, as that which shall redeem it from evil, perfect it,
and raise it to the life immortal.
“The Wisdom of God Incarnate is represented by the Tree,' as where
it is written thereon, She is a tree of life to them that lay hold
on Her.'. . . And what is denoted by the title of the tree,' but the
life of the righteous." - ST. GREGORY, Morals on the Book of Job,
Vol. II. p. 48.
