Esoteric Lesson

Once again, as so often, the meaning of the Rosicrucian motto becomes apparent to us in all its depth: We are born from the divine – Ex Deo nascimur. The Adamic force of the motherless human being has a building and sustaining effect on the physical body; in contrast, since the Mystery of Golgotha, the fatherless human being, Christ Jesus, has been working as the dying force, the force that leads to the death of the physical body here on earth and awakens spiritual life if we consciously surrender ourselves to it. “In Christ we die,” that is, we die with all our physical concepts, the lower self that was built up in us during the time when the Adamic forces were active—thus the last sentence of the Rosicrucian saying becomes a true experience for us: “In the Holy Spirit we are reborn.”
