"This holiest of mysteries, of which one was also disinclined to speak, was the connection between Mary and the Holy Spirit, that Mary was felt as giving human form to the Holy Spirit. . . .
"The Holy Family" by Pompeo Batoni detail |
If mankind would experience Christ in His new approach to man, it must undergo a change in consciousness. Just as the first Christ-event was directed to the being of mankind, so the second Christ-event, towards which we are moving today, is directed to human consciousness.
But then, in order to Experience the Christ, a heightening of consciousness is needful, from the level of mere intellectual consciousness to an ensouled spirit-consciousness so that the ability may arise to feel and gradually to recognize the sphere in which Christ is approaching.
Insofar as this can be realized, the second Christ-event will awaken a new epoch of the Holy Spirit for humanity.
A form of Christianity must arise which gives cosmic content once more to consciousness, and which reunites human knowledge with the feelings of piety which live in the soul.”
~ Emil Bock (translated by John Meeks)
