Translations:Transfiguration/3/en
The transfiguration occurs before the crucifixion and is preparatory to it. The light of the transfiguration descends that we might have the pattern of perfection impressed upon our four lower bodies, so that we might withstand, in the hour of the crucifixion, the great weight that is placed upon us in the physical plane as we undergo the fourteen stations of the cross. The pattern that is released through the transfiguration is then impressed upon us again through the ritual of the resurrection when we have proved the victory over death.
