	{{Style S-HPB SB. Continues on\|11-244}}		Jesus Christ was a born Magician, and from his physical birth, already predisposed to be a Soul Medium. Continuing in purity, overcoming his lower nature, and following the guidance of the Divine Soul, he became united with God, and was then re-born as the Divine Adept. The Soul Power was the result of the Christ Life, for had Jesus lived as Barabbas, he would soon have lost his Soul Power and descended to mediumship, and would never have attained to be a Divine Adept, however naturally gifted he may have been.

			A Soul Medium is a favoured individual in whom the Divine Soul spontaneously manifests herself, but who has no control over this Divine vital power. A Divine Adept is one who has so assimilated his human will with the Divine, that he is one and identical with it, and, consequently, has mastery over the Soul Power. When Jesus had conquered Iris passionate lower nature acquired by surroundings, and united his human will with the Divine, he ceased from being n Soul Medium, and became a Divine Adept. The Soul Medium, or natural Mystic, can only fix the unfixed (the Spirit or Self-hood) by a practical Christ Life of self-denial, and thus fixing the unfixed lower Self-will. When the fixed Soul becomes unfixed, the unfixed then becomes fixed; then the Soul Medium becomes a Divine Adept. As all human Beings have Souls, all can become Soul mediums and Divine Adepts, and the more difficult the path, the greater the glory of the divine reward.

			The Christ State, the Soul in manifesto, is the Supreme Good of the old philosophers, and the Bed Elixir of the. mystic Alchemists. As long as man is identical with that power which rules, animates and permeates the Universe,—as long as his will is altogether absorbed with the Divine Will, and he is united and one with it,—he is above fate and destiny, and guarded and surrounded by special omnipresent Divine Providence. In the Christ State man is one with absolute Thought, in continual divine clairvoyance (semi-omniscience), and at one with the spiritual power that everywhere encompasses him.

			It is only by living in strict purity on right food* following the Pythagorean practice or the Nazaritesf that even such a favoured individual as Jesus attained to his Adeptship. If such men as Jesus Christ, Gotama Buddha, Pythagoras, Apollonius of Tyana, had to live in strict continence and purity to obtain the Divine Power, will any one still pretend that there is a higher law in sensual perversion? Such an idea can only come from “that sphere” which is not divine. If there was another way to the Deity than the Christ Life, those Divine teachers would surely have told us of it. They would not have followed a laborious road, if there were an easier one. But it is evident that there can be but one straight line betwen God and man, and that straight line is the Christ-Life. Whoever would know God must become God-like.

			If Spirit Mediums, for instance, would follow the Nazarite diet and mode of life, although they would at first lose their Spirit Mediumship, but adhering for sufficient time to the right life—“as many (believe they) are called but few are (really called and) chosen” —some, at least, might attain in moderate time to the Soul-plane.

			Acting probably by the advice of a contemporary Initiate—“Judge all mankind favourably, and separate not yourself by an austere behaviour,”—Jesus, as he came among the people, conformed with them to gain their confidence. For this reason, only, he attended the Paschal feast. Anyone who is at all acquainted with the Jews, must have observed their fanatical fondness for festivals and ceremonials. Had Jesus abstained from the Paschal feast, and declared it to be of no consequence, the Jewish hatred would {{Style S-HPB SB. Continues on\|11-244}}

			<nowiki>*</nowiki> Jesus lived chiefly on milk, fruit, and unfermented bread. There Is no evidence that he partook of animal food, the Paschal feast, which is above explained, excepted. It is only related (by Luke, the Evangelist, who was not an apostle, and who, consequently, did not speak of what he himself bad seen) that after his resurrection, they set broiled fish before him. If he ever joined such meals, where animal food was eaten, it would only be for the purpose of concealing the physical secret from the unworthy. But, should he have lived as an outer-world man, of which there is no evidence, then, he and Paracelsus would be the only Adepts who were supposed exceptions to the Pythagorean rule of a rational life, and should Jesus not have lived according to those rules, then, it would be very obvious why he lost his power.
