UNLEAVENED BREAD
A symbol of purification through goodness and
truth,-" leaven" in this case standing for desire and lower emotion.
“Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are
unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ:
wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with
the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread
of sincerity and truth." - 1 COR. v. 7, 8.
Christ the passover that "hath been sacrificed," refers to the
Divine sacrifice in involution, and the passing over to the present
state of evolution in which the Divine love arises from within in
measure as it is called forth by the most advanced qualities or
virtues in the soul. These qualities, then, are exhorted to continue
their purification no longer by means of the discipline of authority
and moral coercion; or of the strife of passion and desire, but by
the gentle means of unblemished goodness and sincere love of Truth,
thereby purging the mind of its lower qualities (old leaven).
