Retreat Post 12 – Three Types of Death - (604)

Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes

I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.


Three not Two

In the study of Gnosis we have come to learn that there are two types of death: physical death and mystical or psychological death. This post reveals a very advanced teaching that there is a third type of death.

There is also the second death which occurs in the abyss, making really a total of four types of death.


The Three Types

One death is the physical death, another one is the psychological and the third one is death within the Absolute.

The death in the Absolute is where the Being gives up being or transcends the state of Being to enter the non-Being or the not-Being. This can only happen in the Absolute during the cosmic night.


Conclusion

When the Being finishes the work to do with the third type of death, He enters into repose and no longer has any elements of the cosmic day in Him which will pull Him back into creation once again. Such a Being is totally liberated from creation and is a real inhabitant of the Absolute.


End (604).
