Hilarion: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>My Lord did pursue me as I made my journey on the road to Damascus. Yes, beloved, I was blinded, not by his light but by my own sin and the alchemy of his light penetrating the record of sin in my being. Thus, I was turned around, converted by the Spirit of the Lord in the full manifestation of Jesus Christ upon me.<ref>Hilarion, “The Revolution of Truth,” {{POWref|36|45}}</ref></blockquote>

Commentators have often speculated as to what Paul did during his sojourn in the desert. Hilarion has explained that Jesus took him “with others into his retreat over the Holy Land and at Arabia. I have been there and learned of him. And this was my desert sojourn in meditation with him, taken up as I was in my finer bodies and trained directly heart to heart.”<ref>Hilarion, “Preach the Gospel of Salvation in Every Nation!” {{POWref|33|39}}</ref>  

<blockquote>Remember, then, that we, the apostles of Christ, did come under the dispensation of the Law that required that one balance 100 percent of one’s karma ere the soul enter the ascension in the light.<ref>Since the inauguration of the new dispensation early in the twentieth century, it is possible to ascend having balanced at least 51 percent of one’s karma, the remaining portion then being balanced on inner levels after the ascension.</ref> Thus, I was required to atone in my life as the apostle Paul and in my next life as Saint Hilarion for the sins I had committed before I received my Lord.<ref>Hilarion, “The Revolution of Truth,” {{POWref|36|45}}</ref></blockquote>
