I. The Inauguration of the Christian Rosenkreuz Branch
When the Buddhist becomes a theosophist, he learns to recognize what is most sacred to the Christian. He recognizes that in the fact of a certain personality passing through physical death, there lies a world mystery, that the Christ descended from higher worlds for a unique incarnation, and will never again come into a physical body. He begins to understand that this mystery is the compensation for the battle between Christ and Lucifer. When the Buddhist learns this through theosophy, he says to himself: I understand what the Christian means in the deepest sense, I understand the unique incarnation of the Christ and see that the Christ was not on earth before he found a body through Jesus of Nazareth.
