BIBLE VERSES

DESERTS, OR FORESTS

Symbolic of the solitude due to the absence of impressions from the external world of the senses

And the child John grew and waxed strong in spirit and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel Luke i 80

The moral nature John has to undergo the solitude necessary for growth until the mental condition shall be able to endure alone This solitude corresponds only to the appearance in being devoid of strife not to the reality It signifies the weaning of the highest part of the lower mind from the things of this world and after that has been accomplished then the moralised lower mind can be shown to Israel that is brought into unison with those qualities which are united with the higher nature
