The Resurrection of Indestructible Life - Jon Eden Khan

“The whole concept of resurrection is the new and most important revelation which is coming to humanity, and which will lay the basis for the new world religion…

…the great goal of all religious teaching will be the resurrection of the spirit in human beings, and eventually in all forms of life, from the lowest point in evolution to the highest monadic experience.” (Alice Bailey and Djwhal Khul, Rays and Initiations)

This image is of the Ancient Egyptian Sed Festival, where at its culmination the initiate king would perform the “raising of the djed ritual”.

In this ritual, a strange object known as the “djed pillar” would be raised from laying on its side on the ground to being vertical.

This ritual was understood to ensure Ancient Egyptian society remained plugged into the sacred wellsprings of Life and divine Power for another year.

For a long time, many people did not understand this ritual. It remains mysterious and abstract for many Egyptologists even today.

The djed pillar is associated with Osiris, and seems to represent his spine, which was interpreted by those without the key to truly understanding the mystery here as representing stability, strength, and verticality.

On this basis many Egyptologists have assumed that the raising of the djed ritual was about ensuring another year of that ‘stability’ for Ancient Egyptian society.

Fair enough, as an explanation, if still a bit bland. And still not nearly as deep as the rabbit hole really goes.

The mystery is about understanding why the spine of Osiris was understood to be so connected to divine power, and why raising it ensured the kingdom stayed plugged in to divine Life.

The key is that Ancient Egyptians, like a number of other ancient cultures, understood that sem€n is created in the spine, with this having a deep connection to the ancient Mysteries of the Father.

That divine Father for them was Osiris. In the Trans-Himalayan teachings this being is known as Sanat Kumara.

The ancient mysteries of the divine Father are profound, yet they remain mostly unknown and poorly understood by our culture today.

We’re used to a divine Father who dwells in the sky, transcendent, detached from his children, and feeling regularly moody about their behaviour.

The divine Father of the ancient mystery schools was a radically different force. Utterly transcendental, full of potency, presence, integrity, and profoundly earthly, s*xual, and phallic.

On Earth, this is the divine presence who from a state of indestructible freedom gave its consent to descend into the tomb of deepest matter – being torn apart in the process – to hold point as the transcendental Life at the core of the planet, until the last weary pilgrim has made their way home.

To be the inseminating, fructifying force of spirit-life at the core of the Earth's whole 4.5 billion year journey, for as long as it takes for the divine purpose to be fulfilled.

With the body of all Earth eternally pervaded by the Goddess, and their child - humanity - the one whose destiny it is to eventually fully honour both.

In the process of descent, most versions of the divine Father somehow lose their phallic power.

Isis is able to recover all parts of Osiris’ body except the phallus. Attis castrates himself at the Tree of Life and bleeds out. Ouranus is castrated by Chronos…

The point is clear: as the divine principle of spirit comes into form it anchors itself at the core but loses its divine potency, leaving our world in a state of disconnection and halfwayness. Somewhere deep down, we all participate in Isis' grief for the loss of Osiris.

Now we start to understand the raising of the djed ritual.

The raising of the djed ritual was actually about the resurrection of the phallic power of the divine Father as the basis for true power in Ancient Egyptian society.

It was the initiate - representing the soul - remembering the divine Life of the Father at the core of their own being and of all beings, so it can rule alongside the all-embracing Goddess.

With the rise of the Abrahamic traditions during the age of Pisces the mysteries of the father were lost. They went underground. Osiris’ phallus was eaten by the fish.

With the dawn of the Aquarian Age the mysteries of the Father are returning. At their core, these mysteries are those of the resurrection.

The resurrection of the divine power of spirit in the heart of each initiate, with their black hole core penetrated by the phallic presence of the Great Father at the core of the Earth, and his living current of divine Life, Will, and Purpose.

That is the remembrance of power as an expression of the sacred wellsprings of Life itself.

The Avatara L2a: The Dark Rite, is dedicated to the return of these Mysteries.
