The Enormous Task of Jesus

Not To Receive More Knowledge
In my humble opinion, referring to Jesus as a probationer is like saying that we are students, and by “we” you could say, Master CRC was a student. Of course !!! (Of Nature… he used to read the book M). [See Rosicrucian Manifestoes] Christ was a student (of course, of the Father´s lessons)… in a broader sense, all are students… and all who are on the road to perfection are disciples of higher principles and are probationers—proving they will succeed in the tasks at hand.
What does not make sense is to compare Jesus with a common probationer who is undertaking minor tasks compared with the enormous task of Jesus.
Something does not fit, to me, in the sources of Jeff, because for curiosity, the fifth gospel is brought forth as an essential source in the life of Jesus…. but it also could be quoted as essential evidence of Steiner’s disappointment with Max Heindel…
Anyway, Corinne Heline also has in her fourth Volume of New Age Bible Interpretation, good material, where it is stated that Jesus was ready to do the great work… and visited local leaders to announce that the time was ripe for the Coming of the Great Light… not to receive more knowledge. Jorge
More on Jesus and his life:
I think upon deeper thought, most reading this blog know that Jesus was far more than student or seeker but it is clear that there exists enormous romanticism and projection concerning the status and possible life experience of Jesus from 12 to 30. (and even more so of Christ Jesus.) Works such as the Fifth Gospel and the mystical visionary work of Catherine Emmerich and Maria Valtorta (search web) fill in many gaps about the life of Jesus and Christ’s ministry. (though the later sources need to read carefully with discrimination).
All this said, what is essential is that these great Beings were both human and divine and we should attempt to form a true and accurate idea of such great Beings with the reminder that “God is Spirit” (as are these great Beings); and no form or image or astral vision can contain their true nature.
This is the paradox that the Fifth Gospel and careful reading of the scriptures offer: to the world Jesus and Christ appeared probably more as a normal looking man with special grace and character .
Of course inwardly the highest divinity was radiating forth from the soul. Yet both were dedicated to experiencing the full range of human experience in order to deeply understand our predicament on earth.
