Militant Church
Master Samael Says there are Three Churches, which are:
1.)
The failed church (iglesia fracasada)
2.)
The militant church: Gnostic movement
3.)
The triumphant church: Gnostic Church.
Gnosis as studied and practiced amongst the various schools
on the planet Earth, belong to the militant church.
This tells us why Gnosis is very different to so many of the
other schools that there are. Especially the schools that have that casual, relaxed
and easy going feel to them that attracts so many people and makes so many
people feel ‘at home’ and ‘at ease’. There is a reason for that, read on…
‘Military Like’ is Needed
This precisely what is needed for us human beings to arrive
at and walk the path.
We need the discipline, will and constancy of the military,
of course applied to the Gnostic psychological and esoteric studies and practices.
Military Like Clears the Ground to Develop Sacrifice
Military like discipline applied towards a spiritual goal
gives students the ability to sacrifice, which in their own particular work
will lead them to develop all that they need to walk their path.
This is what is needed the ability to be able to sacrifice.
Without this ability, we can not walk the path and find the light
that we need to continue walking.
Different to the three Catholic Churches
Here is an excerpt from a Wikipedia article about eh three
types of churches in Catholicism. Interesting but very different. Really it is the
three divisions of the failed church.
“This article is about
traditional divisions of the Christian Church.
In Christian theology,
the Christian Church is traditionally divided into:
the Church Militant
(Latin: Ecclesia militans), which consists of Christians on earth who struggle
as soldiers of Christ against sin, the devil, and "the rulers of the world
of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high
places";
the Church Penitent
(Latin: Ecclesia poenitens), also called the Church Suffering (Latin: Ecclesia
dolens) or the Church Expectant (Latin: Ecclesia expectans), which in the
theology of certain churches, especially that of the Catholic Church, consists
of those Christians presently in Purgatory; and
the Church Triumphant
(Latin: Ecclesia triumphans), which consists of those who have the beatific
vision and are in Heaven.”
End (2142).
