MESSENGER OF THE DIVINE
A symbol of an outpouring of the Spirit according
to cyclic law.
“Behold I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me
and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple; and
the messenger of the covenant whom ye delight in, behold he cometh,
saith the Lord." - MAL. iii. 1.
This is the assurance of the gift of the Spirit, which independent
of the limitations of time and space “cometh without observation."
The temple is the "temple not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens "; and into that temple" or causal-body,-so as the Lord's
"willing servants," or lower functionings of the consciousness in
the virtues, are ready to receive him,-will come the Sun of
Righteousness, the Higher Self or Higher consciousness, who will for
ever make his abode among the chosen of the Lord; i.e. among the
transmuted qualities.
"God dwells in the highest part of the soul. He who ascends this
height has all things under his feet. We are united to God when, in
the practice of the virtues, we deny and forsake ourselves, loving
and following God above all creatures (Ruysbroek). - VAUGHAN, Hours,
etc., Vol. I. p. 328.
