JOHN 16:6
"But because I have said these things unto you,
sorrow hath filled your heart."
In biblical symbolism this is not emotional sadness but rather it is
a spiritual condition.
“Sorrow hath filled your heart” is the soul grieving the
withdrawal of the outer form
The disciples represent the qualities of the soul.
Their “sorrow” is the inner disturbance that arises when:
- the Higher begins to withdraw from the outer level
- the soul still depends on outer forms of guidance
- the Personality cannot yet perceive the inward movement
- the qualities feel “abandoned” because they cannot follow the
Higher within
This sorrow is the pain of transition, from the moment when the soul
loses the comfort of the external Teacher but has not yet awakened
the inner Teacher.
It is the same pattern as:
- Israel mourning when Moses ascends
- Mary weeping outside the empty tomb
- The soul grieving when the old center collapses but the new center
has not yet risen
In mysticism terms:
The Higher is moving inward, but the soul is still outward‑facing,
so it experiences the shift as loss.
The Esoteric Message.....
John 16:6 shows the soul’s sorrow when the Higher withdraws from the
outer level and the unawakened qualities, unable to follow inward,
experience the rising of the Spirit as loss rather than
transformation.
