HEBREWS 9:28
"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of
many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second
time without sin unto salvation."
In biblical symbolism, this verse describes the two great interior
movements of the Christ-principle within the soul, the descent into
the lower nature for purification, and the re-emergence in the
higher consciousness as the power of liberation.
It is not historical, but an anatomy of inner spiritual
transformation.
"Christ was once offered..."
The "offering" is the self-giving of the Higher Self as it descends
into the limitations of the lower planes.
This “once” is not numerical, it means in the realm where time is
not divided, the higher Self enters the lower nature as a single,
unified act of sacrifice.
To be “offered” is to:
- enter the density of the personality
- take on the burden of its confusion
- illuminate the distortions that bind the soul
- bear the weight of the lower tendencies so they may be dissolved
This is the first appearance of Christ in the soul, the higher
descending into the lower to redeem it from within.
“…to bear the sins of many”
“Sin” is not moral failure but a misalignment, the turning of
consciousness away from the Real.
To “bear” these sins is to:
- lift them into the light
- expose their unreality
- dissolve the false structures of the lower mind
- transmute the emotional residues that obscure the soul
The Christ‑principle does not carry guilt;
it carries illusion into the fire of clarity.
“Unto them that look for him…”
This phrase describes the attentive, inward‑turned consciousness.
Those who “look for him” are:
- the aspirants who turn toward the higher
- the mind that has grown weary of physical illusion
- the heart that longs for the Real
- the soul that has begun to recognize its own origin
The second appearance is not visible to the outward‑turned mind.
"The kingdom comes without observation". It is recognized only by
the inner gaze.
“…shall he appear the second time…”
The “second time” is not chronological.
It is the re‑emergence of the Christ within (Higher Self) after
purification has occurred.
The first appearance:
the descent of the higher into the lower.
The second appearance:
the ascent of the soul into the higher.
This is the rhythm of regeneration:
- The higher enters the lower to redeem it.
- The soul rises into the higher to receive it.
“…without sin unto salvation.”
“Without sin” means the Christ‑principle now appears in its own
nature, no longer veiled by the distortions of the lower planes.
The soul, having undergone purification, can now receive the higher
without obstruction.
“Salvation” in biblical symbolism is:
- the restoration of the soul to its true center
- the unveiling of the Higher Self
- the liberation from the illusions of the personality
- the realization of the inner Life as the only Life
This is not rescue, it is recognition.
The Esoteric Message.....
The Christ‑principle descends into the lower nature to dissolve
illusion, and reappears in the purified soul as the radiant power of
liberation; the first movement redeems, the second reveals, and
salvation is the soul’s awakening to its own higher Self.
