Théosophie
La maîtresse que nous connaissons aujourd'hui sous le nom de « déesse de la sagesse » a servi dans le temple de l'illumination à Atlantis. Elle s'est ensuite incarnée sous les traits de « Marie de Béthanie », la sœur de Marthe et Lazare, à l'époque de Jésus. Dans sa dernière incarnation sous les traits de Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), elle a été chargée par Jésus le Christ, le maître ascensionné Hilarion (l'apôtre Paul) et Mère Marie de présenter certaines révélations sur la science du concept immaculé, qu'elle a publiées dans Science et Santé avec la Clef des Écritures et d'autres écrits et conférences rassemblés sous le titre Œuvres en prose.
Après son ascension, Mary Baker Eddy a pris la fonction hiérarchique de « Theosophia », déesse de la Sagesse, qui avait longtemps été occupée par une autre personne connue sous le nom de Theosophia, un être ayant atteint un niveau élevé dans la concentration de l'aspect féminin du rayon de la sagesse. Cet être cosmique a poursuivi son service cosmique lorsque Mary Baker Eddy a pris cette fonction et le nom et le titre qui y sont associés.
Sa vie en tant que Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy a fondé le mouvement de la Science Chrétienne à la fin du XIXe siècle. Elle entretenait un lien très intense avec le Sacré-Cœur de Jésus, car elle était très proche de Jésus dans son incarnation galiléenne. Elle comprenait et enseignait que les guérisons de Jésus démontraient la loi spirituelle, que Jésus était le Fils de l'homme et que le Christ était le principe éternel qu'il incarnait, et que Jésus nous avait donné l'exemple à suivre.
Mary Baker Eddy était un instrument de guérison du Seigneur, mais ses tentatives pour définir la religion du Christ n'ont pas été à la hauteur du puissant manteau de guérison qui la recouvrait. La guérison qui coulait à travers elle dépassait de loin la matrice limitée de l'enseignement qu'elle dispensait. Après son passage en 1910, elle s'est rendue dans les temples éthériques des octaves de lumière, d'où elle a fait son ascension trente ans plus tard.
In her own life, Mary Baker Eddy demonstrated great perseverance in overcoming poor health as well as in meeting legal and media attacks and opposition from organized religion. She was beset in the early years by a series of court cases that stirred public controversy and raised questions concerning her doctrine, organization and followers. Some of the litigation was vengefully initiated by former associates who had defected from the movement, and some by Mrs. Eddy herself in defense of her teachings. Although she was vilified in the press, for the most part she emerged victorious from each case.
Theosophia speaks of her own preparation for the mission of her final lifetime:
There are any number of embodiments that I had between that two thousand years from the time of Mary of Bethany to the time of Mary Baker Eddy. And during these centuries I myself passed through the initiations with the saints in the Church and even in the East and did study under the great Lights as I prepared for this mission.
Therefore, beloved, I studied under those who gave me the teachings of the control of nature and natural forces. And I was gifted, by the grace of God, whereby through this teaching and writing of Christian Science many were healed. But it was truly by the grace of God and my oneness with Christ Jesus.[1]
The science of the immaculate concept
Theosophia teaches the practical application of the wisdom of the Christ in daily life. She also teaches about healing and wholeness and the science of the immaculate concept:
I have lived again and again to set forth the truth of the ages. It is ever the light of the Divine Theosophia to give unto the children of God the awareness of the unreality of death. This is the foundation of all of the teaching of the Mother. For you see, if you can understand that death is not real, then all that leads to death must also be unreal.
Understand, then, that to see through the mists and the maya and to understand that only God is Real is the way to heal and to hold the immaculate concept for yourself. But the fallen ones who come with their degradation and condemnation, they would always have you believe the fundamental lie that death is real because the sin that produced it is real.
You must be scientific with your sword of Truth; for the Mother is always scientific, and so her children learn the ways of science. Unfortunately, they have taken the material science and excluded the spiritual science. This is why the Mother must appear again and again and speak the word of Truth and point the way and point to him who taught, “I AM the way, the truth, and the life.” In that blessed mantra is the understanding that Christ as light is the way—the way out of all human strife and error and that which is apart from the Real. And the truth of being is that God does heal. God does bring together the harmony of consciousness and of Matter. God is the great Spirit of healing in this age.[2]
Education
Theosophia is also very concerned about the correct education of children:
I come to you also with the mantle of the Divine Mother, for I embody wisdom, and I am called Theosophia. Yet, I have occupied this office for not quite a century, so recently embodied have I been....
I surely would sponsor every school that you would open. You can start with one child, two or three, your own, the neighbors’, those who come from homes where parents simply will not place their children in the hands of those who will manipulate their minds toward the left-handed path slowly, imperceptibly, until one fine day they are locked in the grips of forces that neither parents nor teachers can defy.
Thus, be grateful that you have the call and so great a call and so great a science—developed and continued by the messengers, performed by yourselves—whereby you can bring forth from heaven a response far beyond that warranted or merited by your own present level of attainment. This dispensation comes because you call in the name of your mighty I AM Presence and your Holy Christ Self.[3]
