SAVIOURS, THE TWELVE
Symbolic of the twelve highest qualities involved
in the soul, by means of which the Higher Self is enabled to raise
the souls to bliss.
"He (Jesus) chose the Twelve before he came into the world. He chose
twelve powers, receiving them from the Twelve Saviours of the
Light-treasure. When he descended into the world, he cast them as
sparks into the wombs of their mothers that the whole world might be
saved." - Pistis Sophia, trans. G. R. S. MEAD.
Christ of necessity beforehand chose the means by which he is to
accomplish his purpose in the raising of the soul. He cannot
manifest excepting through special vehicles, and these are the
highest qualities, such as Faith, Aspiration, Steadfastness,
Fortitude, etc., symbolised by the twelve powers" or "disciples."
The "Saviours" are typical of the “ apostles"; they save souls who
rise through them, and they are those whom the Father hath given
me." The "Light-treasure" is that aroma of virtue which shall attain
to the “Light-realm ” (heaven).
When Christ manifests himself, he comes forth to the Sons of
God,-the Divine "Sparks." These have a common Father, but must, so
to say, be brought forth and nurtured by the matter side of nature,
or their "Mother the Moon,"--astral matter. By this means the
qualities are to attain liberation by triumphing over the
limitations of the astral and physical planes.
