Translations:Melchizedek/19/en
Thus, the priest of the Order of Melchizedek is also self-effacing, his motto “He must increase, but I must decrease.”[1] The meaning of this statement made by John the Baptist is that the priest cedes his place to the one who comes after him, and he thereby ascends another level vibrationally. Therefore he does decree that the one who is capable of receiving his torch that is passed must increase in that position and he who does go on must decrease at that level, even as he, too, shall increase at the next level.[2]
