BIBLE VERSES

GALILEE

A state of advance in the environment of the ego, or the conditions of the soul,-implying progress.

"But after I (Jesus) am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee." - MATTHEW xxvi. 32.

When the perfected lower nature (Jesus) awakes transfigured on a higher plane, it will enable the disciplined qualities to follow in His steps. It is the Risen Christ who would appear when they had advanced to "Galilee," a symbol signifying a state of looking forward, and a commencement of the diligent quest of Christhood.

“Galilee, that is, Contemplation; Galilee is as much as to say, Whiteness. Whiteness is a colour full of material light, more so than any other; and thus, Contemplation is more full of Spiritual light than any other thing which is below." - DANTE ALIGHIERI, The Banquet, IV. 22.

“The complete resurrection will begin in Galilee " (Zohar). - A. E. WAITE, Secret Doctrine in Israel, p. 187.

"We may regard' Galilee as a symbol of that moral realm in which we enjoy the liberty wherewith Christ makes us free, and are no longer in bondage to Law and Egyptian fleshliness." - E. GOUGH, Barrowford Treatise, p. 53.
