John the Beloved/fr

Saint Jean, par Pierre Paul Rubens

Jean le Bien-Aimé était le plus proche disciple de Jésus le Christ. Il est l'auteur du Livre de l'Apocalypse, dicté par Jésus, "envoyé et signifié par son ange". Celui qui comprenait le mieux les enseignements mystiques du Christ est monté à la fin de cette incarnation, le seul des douze apôtres à l'avoir fait.

Ses vies sur terre

Sous la tutelle de Joseph, le protecteur de Marie et de Jésus, Jean et son frère Jacques reçoivent une formation au sein de la Essène. Ayant vu Jésus entrer dans le temple intérieur alors qu'il adorait à l'extérieur, Jean pressentit le destin du Christ. Des années plus tard, lorsque l'appel fut lancé, il était prêt à suivre son Seigneur et Maître.

La magnétisation du rayon de l'amour par Jean est la plus grande de tous les disciples. Cet amour s'exprimait non seulement pour Jésus, mais aussi pour la lumière du Christ en lui et pour sa mission, qu'il comprenait et partageait avant tout. Jean nous dit que son amour pour Jésus était si grand que, pour faire son ascension, il dut apprendre le sens de l'amour impersonnel.

Jean est le seul disciple qui n'a pas abandonné Jésus alors qu'il était en train de mourir sur la croix. Voyant Jean à proximité de Marie, Jésus lui dit : "Femme, voici ton fils" et lui dit : "Voici ta mère" Jésus reconnaît ainsi Jean comme son frère spirituel, digne d'être le fils de sa propre mère - et par conséquent, il l'élève au niveau du Christ.

Jean incarnait la pleine personne du Moi-Christ, et si cela n'avait pas été vrai, Jésus n'aurait pas créé cette relation, car Marie était Mère au sens archétypal de Mère universelle - elle incarnait la flamme de la Mère. Lorsque Jésus a appelé Jean son fils, il ne parlait pas seulement au sens physique, mais aussi au sens universel du Fils de Dieu, du Fils de la Mère divine, dont elle était la représentante.

The cave on Patmos where it is said that John received the Book of Revelation

John stayed in Jerusalem for some time during the persecutions following Jesus’ resurrection. After the martyrdom of Peter and Paul, John settled in Ephesus, the greatest city of Asia Minor, where Paul had centered his missionary activities. There is a tradition, which is confirmed by Tertullian and Jerome, that during the reign of Domitian, John was taken to Rome where an attempt to put him to death in a cauldron of boiling oil was miraculously thwarted. (This is the test of fire that was also faced by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.) He emerged from the cauldron unharmed and was then banished to the island of Patmos. Here he received and recorded the Book of Revelation.

After the death of Domitian in the year A.D. 96, John could return to Ephesus, and many believe that he wrote his Gospel and three epistles at that time, when he was in his nineties. John is said to have passed his last years at Ephesus, and to have died there at a great age, outliving all the other apostles. According to some, he simply “disappeared”—was translated like Elijah or “assumed” into heaven as was the Blessed Virgin. Others testify to the miracles wrought from the dust of his tomb.

In an earlier embodiment, John was Benjamin, the youngest brother of Joseph, the idle dreamer, who later embodied as Jesus. Of his eleven brothers (all of whom served as his disciples in his final embodiment), Joseph loved Benjamin the most.

His service today

John uses as his symbol a purple Maltese Cross superimposed upon a pink Maltese Cross with gold radiance surrounding it. The flame focused in his retreat in the etheric realms above the state of Arizona is purple and gold. Through this flame, which focuses the power of divine love in its four phases, he teaches the mastery of fire, air, water and earth as the four aspects of the nature of God.

This hope is also held by beloved John and the brothers and sisters who serve in his retreat, who teach the impersonal impersonality of divine love through the mastery of the fire element, the impersonal personality of divine love through the mastery of the air element, the personal personality of divine love through the mastery of the water element, and the personal impersonality of divine love through the mastery of the earth element. (These four aspects of God’s consciousness correspond to God as Father, Son, Mother and Holy Spirit.)

Students who desire to study these four aspects of the nature of God and how they can solve the problems of our civilization that are the result of the perversions of the love ray on the planet may ask to be taken to John the Beloved’s retreat while they sleep.
