Humanity is faced with three temptations, just as Jesus was tempted in the wilderness.

1. Materialism, or the temptation to turn stones into bread. This is the understanding of the universe as Being, not the universe of the Good or Love. Dead matter somehow creates life and consciousness, not to mention spiritual experience. In popular films and TV shows, we see computerized robots turn into sentient beings.
2. The desire to plunge into the subconscious as the source of spiritual life. This ignores all higher forces, the superconscious and divine revelation as the true source of religion.
3. The denial of causality attributes events to chance or to random variation. This absolves human beings from the responsibility of their own future.

The chakras, or lotus flowers, lie at the foundation of the human being. Temptation is the wrong unfolding of the lotus flowers. Christ’s transfiguration illumines the chakras. The I AM sayings correspond to different chakra.

The Old Testament describes the six days of creation culminating in the Old Adam.

The New Testament begins with the description of the birth and growth of the new humanity, the New Adam.

Meditation: The seven miracles in John’s gospel

These represent 7 stages of healing: the 7 stages of guilt and their forgiveness.

Creation and healing have to take place in reverse sequence: there, where the creation was completed, lies the starting point for the healing (i.e., restoring) effect. Accordingly, the prologue of the Gospel of St. John also gives the stages of Moses’ account of creation (light, life, man) in the reverse sequence: “In him (the Word) was life, and the life was the light of men” ~ John i1:4. The work of salvation takes place in reverse to that of the creation in so far as the last stage of the creation is the first of the work of salvation. (MotT)

Task: Work on the seven messages to the seven churches.
Revelation of Jesus to St. John:

And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: “Fear not.”

I am the First and the Last, and alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell. Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter. The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches. (Rev 1:17-20)

The seven churches can also be imagined as representing different historical epochs. Each of the churches has a positive and a negative element. These still live in every human being, regardless of the epoch. Our task is to develop the positive elements and overcome the negative elements. These cultural periods are:
