We can learn that from Paul, too. He tells us clearly and distinctly what his confession of the resurrection is based on. Everyone knows that Paul is, so to speak, a posthumous apostle, that he owes his conversion to Christianity to the appearance of Christ, who had long since left the earth. Only the theosophist can recognize the truth of this appearance of a high spiritual being. Only he knows what an initiate like Paul means when he speaks of the risen Christ appearing to him alive. And Paul tells us even more, and we must take this to heart. He tells us in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8: \"I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

Diese Erscheinung einer hohen geistigen Wesenheit kann nur der Theosoph in ihrer Wahrheit erkennen. Nur er weiß, was ein Eingeweihter, wie Paulus, meint, wenn er davon spricht, daß ihm lebendig der auferstandene Christus erschienen ist. Und Paulus sagt uns noch mehr, und das müssen wir wohl beherzigen. Er sagt uns im ı. Korinther 15, 3-8: «Ich habe euch überliefert in erster Linie, wie ich es selbst bekommen habe, daß der Christus gekommen ist um unserer Sünden willen, daß er gestorben ist und auferweckt am dritten Tage, und daß er erschienen ist dem Kephas und den Zwölfen, und nach dieser Erscheinung mehr als fünfhundert Brüdern, von denen die meisten noch leben, einige aber sind entschlafen.
