BAPTISM BY WATER AND BY FIRE

Let’s stop on the theme of Baptism. How to interpret the meaning of that sacrament? How to understand the sense of Baptism by Water and Baptism by Fire? And how they connect with each other?

We start with the fact that the Cross – it’s a symbol of the Mankind Kingdom. The Four-petal Lotus is the Merging in one whole of the particles of four Planes - Physical, Astral, Mental and Buddhic.

This is in the narrow sense.

And in the more wide, the Cross indicates on the process of association the particles of different quality, for example, Yin and Yang.

Thus, the concept “Baptism” should be interpreted as a connection of the particles (or, we can say, bodies) of different quality, forming the human organism.

As is well known two main Baptisms exist in Christianity – by Water and by Fire. What is that, and how should understand their meaning?

Both Baptisms for “fathers of church” are sacraments. It’s surprisingly as far as little true meaning of this striking phenomenon is understood.

Baptism by Water, representing in reality no more than symbolical image, turned into some attribute of protection from “dark powers” (whammy, vitiation and so on), in the obligatory ritual ceremonies, entirely pagan.

An ablution of kid (or adult) by connecting of two chemical elements – this is only a symbol. And some shamanistic, protective meaning is given to it. Supposedly that after hanging to a person on the neck a piece of iron in the shape of crucified Christ he (she) becomes invulnerable for evil.

Of course, it is impossible to deny that fact the talismans (and the “cross” is talisman) possess some power – all depends from that, who created it, who touched it, who wears it and of what material it’s made.

This is interesting theme, but we don’t stay on this now. However to associate the wearing of talisman (“cross”) and Baptism by Water in whole one – it’s a full absence of true understanding that what is Baptism.

But let’s return to the interpretation of the meaning.

In the Bible, in New Testament, in Gospel from John says that nobody enters in God’s Kingdom, not baptized by Water and not accepted the Holy Spirit from high. “Jesus answered: truly, truly say to you: if somebody isn’t born from water and Spirit, can’t enter into God’s Kingdom” (New Testament from John, Chapter 3:5).

The Holy Spirit – it’s the same as the Fire. Thus Christ claimed that nobody touches the Heavenly Kingdom (at essence it is the same as dive into Nirvana) until accepts double Baptism – by Water and by Fire.

What does it mean?

Water in occultism – it’s the symbol of Matter, Fire – of Spirit.

The Baptism by Water necessarily must precede to the Baptism by Fire.

Baptism by Water – it’s merging in the one whole the particles of material principle, bodies (shells) of three lower Planes – Physical, Astral and Mental – which can consider as the Matter in respect to three high Planes – Buddhic, Atmic and Monadic, that are the Spirit (Fire) as regarding to the lowers.

After that happens full merging (Individualization, Initiation and Identification) of bodies of three lower Planes – i.e. Baptism by Water finishes, and begins the time for the next stage – evolutionary. It’s time for Baptism by Fire – sequential joining the bodies of three high Planes.

The Human Kingdom first of all begins to join the “fiery Planes”, and namely Buddhic. I.e. each of us, is just born, is already involved into the process of Baptism by Fire.

We can attract attention of beings of two more high Planes – Atmic and Monadic, even more “fiery”. And then, if it happens, if their bodies integrate into our organism, then our Fiery Baptism gains yet the more strength and power. And we become the Mahatmas ourselves - Great Souls, Godlike, in whose organisms the particles of all six simple Planes are united (like the Creator).

An organism of Mahatma is the representative of the Seventh Plane – Logoic, complex.

That's what the Baptism by Water and by Fire from the position the Teachers of Ageless Wisdom, and so they are interrelated.

We can consider the Old Testament, John Baptist and Baptism by Water as the symbols of material origin, Yin.

While the New Testament, Jesus Christ and Baptism by Fire – are the images of spiritual principle, Yang.
