ZION OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL

A symbol of the causal-body, the seat of the Higher Self, the leader of the chosen qualities (Israel).

"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." - ISA. xxxv. 10.

The qualities which have traversed the " way of holiness" are transmuted (ransomed) and perfected, and thereby raised to the higher mind plane on which is the "holy city," the causal-body wherein is everlasting joy to crown the qualities which are now above all sorrow and suffering.

“Zion is the living soul, where the Lord visiteth.'" - JOHN WARD, Zion's Works, Vol. VII. p. 158.
