Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Herald of the Cross, Vol. 1: November, 1905 Christhood as recorded in such passages of St. John as were not tampered with. For when the Church succeeded in circulating such a picture as is to be found in the occult record from which the synoptics were built up, as to the life and work of Jesus, the Brotherhood felt that, whilst they must sacredly guard the innermost sense of the Mysteries, yet it might be well to tell such parts as would give to the people a truer view of the Christhood. And it was this desire which led St. John to write the Logia of Jesus. The Acts of Jesus by St. Matthew had been so misunderstood and perverted that St. John felt the necessity for giving a spiritual picture. That drawn by St. Matthew was Jesus the Christ; that presented by St. John was the Celestial Christ. The two were a brief likeness of the Divine Master. N ow, when the Church saw that the Brotherhood were determined not to divulge the inner sense of the Sacred Mystery of the Christhood, but to preserve it inviolate, the Church commenced to persecute the Brethren. It was under the leadership of him who had betrayed the Christ to the Jews, and who had prepared them to lay hold of Him, and have Him condemned to death. For, as we said in a previous issue, he was the instigator of the Church being reared in opposition to the Brotherhood. And he took care that there should not be left one stone unturned by which he might destroy that Brotherhood. For in his heart he always hated the Brethren because of their love and devotion to the Master. And he specially hated the Brethren who had been most intimate with Him. And when he saw that the Church could not destroy the in uence of the Brotherhood, he set to work in the direction of the false picture of the life and teaching of Jesus. And, as the result of his endeavours, there was compiled the strange story as told in the occult record. And when he had succeeded in doing this, the Brethren felt that the time had arrived for them to act. And, in later years, when the Brotherhood had dissolved, he succeeded in betraying one of them.
