The Third Lesson: The Mystic Youth of Jesus.959
The Third Lesson: The Mystic Youth of Jesus.
In our last lesson we promised to tell you the esoteric story of the youth
of Jesus. And there is such a story to tell, although the churches know
little or nothing about it. The churches have nothing but the husks that
have always been the property of the masses. The real kernels of truth
have been possessed by but the few elect ones. The legends of the mystic
brotherhoods and occult orders have preserved the story intact, and you
shall now be given the essence of the mystic legends and traditions.
At the end of our first lesson we left Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus in
Egypt, the land to which they had flown to escape the wrath of the tyrant
Herod. They dwelt in Egypt for a few years, until the death of Herod. Then
Joseph retraced his steps, and returned toward his own country, bringing
with him his wife and the babe. For some reasons unknown to those
familiar with the legends and traditions, Joseph decided not to locate in
Judea, but instead, bent his way toward the coast and returned to Nazareth
where Mary and he had originally met and become betrothed. And, so, in
Nazareth, the humble little mountain town the boyhood days of Jesus were
spent, the grinding poverty of the family being relieved (according to the
occult legends) by the yearly presents of gold from the hands of disguised
messengers of the Magi.
